Chapter 29

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shang Chaozong smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Shang Shuqing didn't intend to attend the table, Niu Youdao also hurriedly invited, "Princess, please sit down!"

Shang Shuqing smiled and declined politely, "The little girl has an ugly face, I'm afraid it will affect the mage's appetite, so I'll play the piano for the mage to cheer up." After saying that, she walked to the piano platform and sat down, adjusting the postures of the person and the qin.

Niu Youdao also admitted that this woman's appearance is indeed a bit scary. It is polite to say that she is not good-looking, but it can actually affect appetite. If people really want to sit down and eat something, they must pick off the gauze hat. Doesn't it affect other people's appetite? .

But then again, a woman who can smile like this and admit that she is ugly has a strong heart. It is rare to meet such a woman in two lifetimes. Shang Shuqing attracted his attention more and more.

However, when Shang Chaozong heard this, his expression was somewhat sad. If his younger sister really missed the opportunity to get rid of the evil spots when she went back to Shang Qingzong, she might be delayed for a lifetime.

Seeing Shang Chaozong distracted, "Ahem!" Lan Ruoting reminded with a dry cough.

Shang Chaozong came back to his senses, and raised his glass to invite: "Master, I have never treated you well during my travels. I apologize today. Please drink this cup to the full!"

"My lord's words made Niu feel ashamed, Niu respects my lord!" Niu Youdao raised his glass and wanted to do it first.

Who would have thought that Yuan Gang suddenly put a hand on his shoulder and reminded him, "Master Dao!"

Needless to say too much, let alone Niu Youdao, even Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting could hear it. This was to remind Niu Youdao to be careful that there was something wrong with the wine, which made them wonder how Niu Youdao would respond. .

Niu Youdao didn't say anything, and continued to hold his head up to finish the cup, and showed the bottom of the cup to the two people opposite to show his integrity.

Seeing that he didn't listen, Yuan Gang moved his palm away from his shoulder, and didn't say anything else. He only needed to remind in place and fulfilled his duties. He didn't need to talk about the rest.

Regarding Yuan Gang's behavior, it is understandable not to believe them. After all, they are not familiar with them. It is not an exaggeration to have doubts about suddenly taking the liberty to invite wine. But what makes Shang Dynasty Zong's side strange is that this Yuan Gang looks like Niu Youdao's subordinates or accompanying guards, not like brothers from the same village, and from the appearance, this Yuan Gang seems to be even better than Niu Youdao Dao is older.

What made them even more surprised was that Yuan Gang called Niu Youdao "Dao Ye" all along the way. Is it necessary for brothers who grew up in the same village to use the word "Ye"? Niu Youdao is so young, it's a bit too much to use the word "Dao Ye" to call him.

Ding ding dong dong soothing piano sounds, Shang Shuqing stroked the strings, trying to tune out a soft and gentle tune, timely covering up the disharmony at the scene.

The moonlight slanting in from outside the pavilion poured down like mercury on Shang Shuqing who was sitting upright playing the piano, making her whole body shrouded in hazy moonlight. Niu Youdao looked sideways and sighed secretly while sitting sideways while playing the piano elegantly and softly. This woman is really ruined by that face. She doesn't want a beautiful face, but she wants to be normal and not scary. With this kind of inner nature, I'm afraid she can attract many men. fair!

With the beautiful sound of the piano adding to the fun, the atmosphere has indeed become more lively.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Lan Ruoting tried to find out the truth with his words. It was still the case of Shang Qingzong, or what was going on with Dong Guo Haoran, or how his cultivation was, all of which were prevaricated by Niu Youdao. There are some things that are not authentic, or that sentence, he really doesn't know about the situation of Shang Qingzong; the matter with Dong Guo Haoran involves the bronze mirror, and he doesn't want to mention it to outsiders; as for his own cultivation, short The progress in the short five years is too fast. If he wants to say something, he can only tell lies, and if he doesn't want to tell lies, he can only be perfunctory.

Seeing that this guy still didn't have a single reliable word out of his mouth, Shang Chaozong once again gave Niu Youdao a bad review in his heart!

After all, Lan Ruoting was mature and prudent, and he didn't care about Niu Youdao's nonsense. Seeing that the other party was avoiding these things, he didn't want to be cold, so he changed the topic lightly, "I heard from the Princess that the mage is so talented that he can speak poetry. I don't know. Master, would you like to let me have a glimpse of elegance?"

Niu Youdao still waved his hands and said vaguely: "The princess is absurd, just talking nonsense."

Lan Ruoting laughed and said, "So what if the mage just talks nonsense again?"

Niu Youdao still declined: "Poetry is a small way, it can't be on the stage, it can't compare with the prince's iron riding, so don't mention it!"

Lan Ruoting: "This statement is wrong. How can poetry be a small way? The so-called martial arts can level the world, and literature can stabilize the country... This may be a bit exaggerated. To be honest, a good poem may be able to boost the morale of the generals. Besides. To be vulgar, a good poem is worth a thousand gold in the capital, enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and it shares common sense, so how could it not be on the stage?"

Niu Youdao's eyes lit up, and he tried to ask: "Is it worth a thousand gold? So valuable?" He was already muttering in his heart, if that was the case, there would be a way to solve the economic problems of Huihui and Houzi. , Maybe there are no other things, but there are a lot of ancient things in my belly. I tried the stuff from Song Yanqing, and it should be okay.

"Of course!" Lan Ruoting asked again with a smile: "The princess personally played the piano for the mage to help the fun, and it is such a beautiful day, so the mage will not disappoint the fun!"

"I really don't know poetry." Niu Youdao still wanted to hide it, but when he saw that he was out of the way, he decided to deal with it reluctantly, so as not to be endless. Pointing at Yuan Gang, "But my brother knows a little bit, let him do it for him!"

Yuan Gang, who had been secretly observing the surroundings and listening to all directions to keep vigilant, was taken aback when he heard the words, and stared at Niu Youdao in a daze, thinking that he had heard it wrong and asked Lao Tzu to write a poem? Master Dao, are you out of your mind?

When Shang Chaozong heard it, he became interested. His interest in Yuan Gang was obviously higher than that of Niu Youdao. His eyes lit up. Could it be that he is not good at both civil and military skills? Immediately raise a glass and invite, "I am willing to listen!"

Yuan Gang blocked back with one sentence, "No!"

"..." Shang Chaozong was embarrassed again, whether he put the wine glass in his hand or not.

The atmosphere became awkward again, Niu Youdao immediately turned around and scolded: "I said monkey, you are not energetic, you just write a song and it's over!"

Yuan Gang stared at him, wanting to greet the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, I do ghost poems, I don’t have this method, where do you want me to do it, can this be forced out?

"Hurry up! Play any song, hurry up!" Niu Youdao, who turned his head, urged and winked at the same time.

The cooperation between the two is quite tacit, and they can often understand each other's thoughts with just a glance. Yuan Gang took a look at his meaningful glance, and suddenly understood, how can the Taoist know that he can't compose poems? Make your own poems, but let yourself plagiarize one!

Yuan Gang cursed secretly in his heart, looked back left and right, paused for a moment on the river outside, then turned his head, expressionless, raised his eyebrows and looked at Niu Youdao, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Niu Youdao was a little terrified by his gaze, because he knew him too well, the monkey is not a good person, he is definitely a murderer, and he feels that the monkey is holding back something bad, a little regretful, a little guilty He turned his head back and tasted the wine silently.

Yuan Gang suddenly blurted out, "The Yangtze River is rolling in the east, and the waves have wiped out the heroes..."

Just this sentence, "Well..." Niu Youdao couldn't help coughing, almost choking, but he didn't expect the monkey to come up with this word.

"Success or failure is nothing. The green hills are still there, and the sunset has been red for a few times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other. No matter how many things in ancient and modern times, they are all jokes." Hardly finished reading Yuan Gang shut up, and a good word came out of his mouth without any rhythm or beauty at all.

Even so, Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting were still stunned. This word was too appropriate for the occasion, and a little taste made the two of them have mixed feelings!

The sound of the piano had also stopped, and in the middle of reading the words, Shang Shuqing, who was playing the piano, subconsciously stopped listening carefully, and stopped involuntarily. At this moment, she turned her head to look at the expressionless Yuan Gang. His bright eyes were dazed and distracted, and the eyes that stared at Yuan Gang immediately burst into amazement and looked up and down, unexpectedly, really did not expect!

"Good word! Dangfu understands it!" Shang Chaozong applauded loudly, stood up excitedly and toasted.

Lan Ruoting followed the toast and stood up, shaking his head and exclaiming, "I didn't expect Brother Yuan to be so talented!"

"Hey! Good words, good words!" Niu Youdao also stood up with a bit of a cheap smile while holding a wine glass.

Yuan Gang said again, "I don't know how to write any poems. This poem was written by the Taoist master before. I just read it for a while."

Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing stared at Niu Youdao in a daze.

"Stop making trouble, what you wrote is what you wrote, and you can't die if you write the first words." Niu Youdao turned around and beat Yuan Gang, and then gave him a look. He smiled at the three of them and said, "It's indeed a good word, let's make it clear, drink and drink!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Gang said coldly again: "This poem was not only written by the Taoist master, but also composed by the Taoist master. It is very pleasant to play and sing! I am a stubborn person, I don't know the world, and I never tell lies. !"

"Pfft..." Niu Youdao took a sip of the wine and couldn't hold it back. He puffed out, rubbed his chest and coughed again and again, almost choking to death. , I regret it!

The three people on the opposite side stared blankly at the table with the drink he poured out, all a little dumbfounded, it was all this guy's saliva, and there was probably no way to eat this drink.

Relatively speaking, the three still believed in Yuan Gang's words, and felt that Niu Youdao's words were not very reliable.

Lan Ruoting wiped the splashed wine on his face, and tried to ask, "Play and sing? Masters can play musical instruments?"

Yuan Gang continued to make up the knife coldly: "Not only can he know how to play classical instruments, he is best at playing the erhu!"

"Ahem..." Niu Youdao, who was coughing profusely, didn't recover for a while, and beat him repeatedly, signaling him to shut up.

"What is pulling the erhu?" Shang Shuqing asked curiously. There was no such thing as 'erhu' here, and she mistakenly thought that 'pulling the erhu' was a musical instrument, not knowing that 'pulling' was a verb.

This was just another blow, Niu Youdao kept "cough coughing" and almost died, so he quickly stabilized his emotions and luck.
