I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 30 The Immortal Dance

As night fell, under the leadership of Zheng Michang, Gao Hanwen entered Shen Yishi's mansion together with him.

Shen Yishi's mansion is extremely luxuriously decorated. On both sides of the entrance there are two lifelike stone lions. Just judging from the stone materials used, one can tell that the price is very high. There are two huge gilt-copper buckles on the lacquered red gate. , used to knock on the door, there is a plaque on the door, and the book is written with the three characters of Miaoquzhai.

Entering it, there are many unnamed plants planted on both sides of the road, which are green even in winter, and the green light makes people feel happy.The gate was closed, blocking all the hustle and bustle outside the gate, and also made the house more quiet.

As soon as the two entered, the butler greeted them.

The butler was all smiles, bowed respectfully to the two of them and said, "I think the two are Mr. Zheng and Mr. Gao, please come in quickly, my master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

After all, without looking at the two of them, he led the way ahead on his own.

Gao Hanwen deliberately slowed down, and asked Zheng Michang: "Brother, what kind of banquet is this?"

Zheng Michang shook his head, pretending not to know, and responded: "Brother, I just received an invitation today, let's go! Let's go in and have a look."

Gao Hanwen wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing that Zheng Michang had already followed the butler's pace, out of trust in his elder brother, he followed him in.

"The two of you are finally here, but Shen has been waiting so long!"

As soon as the two entered the door, Shen Yishi stood up and took the initiative to greet him. At this moment, he was still wearing the same rags, and there were many delicacies on the table beside him.

"Who are you?" Gao Hanwen asked curiously, seeing that the visitor had an extraordinary demeanor but was wearing tattered clothes.

"Below is Shen Yishi." After finishing speaking, Shen Yishi stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

Hearing that Shen Yishi had revealed his identity, Gao Hanwen looked around and asked suspiciously, "I don't know why Boss Shen invited the two of us to this Miaoqu Zhai?"

Hearing Gao Hanwen's words, Shen Yishi's complexion changed, he sighed helplessly, and his mood also became depressed: "To be honest, Shen took the liberty to invite the two of you here, because he really needs the help of the two adults. "

"Is it a business matter or a private matter? If it's a business matter, you might as well go to the Yamen to talk about it, and the government will give you justice!" Zheng Michang, who has not spoken since entering, said.

"Private matters, please sit down and discuss." Shen Yishi said, calling Zheng Bichang and Gao Hanwen to sit down.

"Come on, let me, Mr. Shen, offer you a glass of wine first!" After Shen Yishi finished speaking, he picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for both Zheng Michang and Gao Hanwen, but his hand moved slightly when pouring the wine for Gao Hanwen move.

"Please!" After Shen Yishi finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass without looking at the two of them.

Helpless, Zheng Michang and Gao Hanwen had no choice but to drink up the wine in their cups.

After drinking a glass of wine, Shen Yishi turned his gaze to Gao Hanwen. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stated his purpose: "I want to be bold, and I want a painting of Mr. Gao, how about it?"

"How about 3000 taels of silver for finishing the pen?" Seeing that Gao Hanwen wanted to refuse, Shen Yishi immediately asked.

"I don't know what Boss Shen wants me to use for my calligraphy? I'm just a seventh-rank official working in the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang Province. If you want calligraphy, you should ask this adult next to me! Are you afraid that I won't be able to cover you?"

Seeing that Shen Yishi didn't respond, Gao Hanwen continued to add: "Or do you want to pass me, and then get on my teacher's line?"

When Gao Hanwen said this, his expression became colder and colder, but Shen Yishi just sighed deeply: "I didn't mean that, this calligraphy is for my daughter!"

Hearing these words, Gao Hanwen froze in place for an instant, and all the words he had organized in his mind were stuck.

"My daughter's name is Shen Yun. I bought her back from the brothel! She had a rough life since she was a child. She was sold to the brothel by her parents when she was eight years old. Later, I saw how pitiful she was, so I redeemed her and raised her carefully."

"I know that Mr. Gao was a famous talent in the capital before he became an official, and he was also a protégé of Yan Shifan, an important minister in the court. My daughter got a few lines of your poems by chance from nowhere, as if entering the palace. Like a demon, I locked myself in the room and copied it every day, recited it every night, and regarded you as my bosom friend."

"Actually, she used to spy on you on the only way to study, but because of her rough background, she didn't dare to take a step closer. This silly child secretly kept it from me, thinking that I didn't know."

As Shen Yishi said, his face was full of kindness.

"Boss Shen, I..."

After listening to Shen Yishi's narration, Gao Hanwen showed a hint of shame on his face.

"It doesn't matter, this time I heard the news that you came to Zhejiang to work, this girl was so happy that she didn't fall asleep for two days and two nights, so she entrusted me to ask for a copy of Master Gao's calligraphy, so as to relieve the sorrow of lovesickness."

Shen Yishi still had a sincere look on his face, and he didn't take what Gao Hanwen said earlier to heart at all.

"No problem, Mr. Shen, I'll write it right away. As for the finishing fee, forget it." Gao Hanwen waved his hand, agreeing to Shen Yishi's request.

Shen Yishi was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately asked his servants to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"Come on, Mr. Gao, I, Mr. Shen, offer you a toast!"

After Shen Yishi finished speaking, he filled Gao Hanwen's wine glass and raised his own.

Gao Hanwen didn't refuse, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After drinking the second glass of wine, Gao Hanwen only felt his lips were chapped, his whole body was hot, his head felt dizzy, and his heart became restless, desperately looking for something to vent.

But he still managed to finish writing, and just finished writing, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zheng Michang, who was next to him, had quick eyes and quick hands, and helped him up.

"Master Gao, what's the matter?" Sensing Gao Hanwen's strangeness, Shen Yishi's eyes were full of worry, and he wanted to step forward to help him.

"It's okay, maybe it's because I haven't had a drink for too long, I'm too strong to drink, I'll be fine after I rest for a while." Gao Hanwen waved his hand with support, rejecting Shen Yishi's kindness.

After a short rest, the dizziness in Gao Hanwen's mind disappeared, Gao Hanwen only felt more and more thirsty, and his body was getting hotter and hotter, but Shen Yishi saw this, got up and poured a few glasses of wine for him.

"Father!" Only a crisp and round voice came to everyone's ears. Following the sound, a young woman in tulle appeared in front of everyone. Gao Hanwen who was about to lose consciousness.

"Yun'er, why are you here?" Shen Yishi said, with a trace of blame mixed in his tone.

"Father, my daughter is too curious, so..."

Before the words were half spoken, the woman blushed, and behind her was the maid in charge of holding the piano.

"Come on, Yun'er, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Gao whom you have admired for a long time!"

"My little girl has met Mr. Gao." The visitor looked at Gao Hanwen affectionately, bowed slightly, and then sat upright at the side and began to play the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano is mellow in the room, making people feel refreshed, as if to forget all the troubles in the world.

After a long time, after Qin finished, Shen Yun looked at Gao Hanwen and asked with a smile.

"Master Gao, how about this song?"

"good very good."

Gao Hanwen forced himself to salute, and forcibly moved his eyes away from the girl.

"Master Gao is not feeling well, you can send him to the wing to rest for my father."

"Yes."
