Chapter 189: Song Beyond the Great Wall (Second update, please vote)

Fu Zhen had dinner with Mrs. Ning and Ning Jia.

Mrs. Ning returned early. It turned out that Xie Yu was coming today and Xie Zhang had already greeted Mrs. Ning in advance, so Mrs. Ning waited there in the afternoon.

Starting from tomorrow, Mrs. Ning will go to the shop in the morning and teach Xie Yu at home in the afternoon.

Fu Zhen thought of Xie Yu's random thoughts and glanced at Mrs. Ning several times.

Mrs. Ning said, "What are you looking at?"

Fu Zhen pursed his lips and shook his head. After a while he asked again: "Has mother ever considered remarrying?"

Mrs. Ning looked shocked: "What are you talking about?"

Fu Zhen chuckled: "That's nonsense. But if you have this idea, I won't object. - Brother Jia, what do you think?"

Ning Jia picked up a piece of fish without raising her head: "Whatever sister says, I will do it. If you think it's good, I must think it's good too."

Fu Zhen rubbed his head: "You are so smart."

Mrs. Ning knocked on his forehead.

Fu Zhen did not continue on this topic.

Fu Zhen supports whether Mrs. Ning remains single or chooses to remarry, as long as that is what Mrs. Ning wants.

After being tortured by the Fu Yun family for many years, they finally have freedom. How many people can still have expectations for marriage?

It was as if she had shown her heart and soul to a man, only to be killed by him. Although not all men in the world were bad, she was a person who didn't know people well and was really not good at picking men, so she might as well save herself.

After dinner, she changed her clothes and went to see Pei Zhan.

I only had an embarrassing experience at the temple lakeside during the day, but this trip was a must.

She must strive for this cooperation, that is, talk to Pei Zhan about the marriage. After thinking about it for a few days, if this happened, there would be only advantages and no disadvantages to her... If there were any, they could be ignored. On the other hand, Pei Zhan would not get much advantage from it, so she had to think about how to convince him.

The streets are full of big houses. There are few people walking around at night, and the alleys are as quiet as midnight.

The wind in early summer is getting more and more pleasant, and the moonlight above our heads is still bright.

The tofu shop was right at the entrance of the square. Fu Zhen didn't take the car and walked along with the sound of footsteps.

After walking a few steps, a flute sound came from somewhere. It was melodious and long-lasting, with a bit of elegance, like walking in the yellow sand of the desert under the moon.

Fu Zhen's steps gradually slowed down and he stopped.

This is a song from Saibei, and very few people play it in the capital.

Xu Yin was the son of a scholar. Before his family was ruined, he was a squire in Tanzhou.

When Liang Ning picked him up, he had already been reading for several years, could write extremely well, and could also play the piano. He could play the flute hung by the old military counselor on the wall in his hand.

He can play the music of the land of Hunan one after another.

Later, on Liang Ning's birthday, the military advisor asked her what gift she wanted. Liang Ning asked him which flute he had asked for, and then gave it to Xu Yin.

The moonlight in the northwest is always particularly clear, and Liang Ning often sits on the sand dunes and listens to him playing music.

She asked him if he could play the song outside the Great Wall?

He said no.

But three days later, he pulled her up the sand dune again and played a complete song.

Liang Ning asked him how he learned it?

He said he found the caravan entering and exiting the customs. There was a singer from outside the Great Wall in the caravan, and he paid two taels of silver to hire someone to teach her.

When Liang Ning picked him up, he only had about ten copper coins on him. Later, he earned his money bit by bit by doing things like grooming horses in the military camp, carrying water, helping people write letters home, etc.

Liang Ning was not stingy with money. When his two brothers gave him pocket money, they would always give Xu Yin a share.

Although Xu Yin never refused sternly, he didn't want it. Every time he got it, he would buy it for Liang Ning. The northwest was desolate and supplies were not rich. When he often had money that he couldn't spend, he would simply invest in it. In her piggy bank.

He said, what's mine is yours anyway. If you save it for me, I'll feel more at ease.

Fu Zhen looked up at the moon in the sky, turned around and walked towards the place where the flute sound came from.

At the other end of the alley, on the other side of Ning Mansion, there is an ancient camphor tree, and a large black-peng carriage is parked under the tree.

A man in a royal blue robe was sitting at the front of the car, playing the song beyond the Great Wall.

The evening breeze raised his robe sleeves high, and the falling shadows on the ground wandered around like smoke.

The song is over. He turned his head, his eyes paused on Fu Zhen's face, and he slowly turned around.

He bent his left knee, and his left hand holding the flute rested on his knee. His dark eyes were stained with the color of the moonlight.

He opened his lips, but for some reason, he closed them.

Separated by a distance of two feet, it is clearly the distance between two lives.

"You came."

Xu Yin whispered.

The voice was so soft that it seemed like he was greeting himself.

Fu Zhen walked towards him and stopped at the same distance as when he poured lamp oil on him.

"It's the tune you played."

Pei Zhan sat in the tofu shop early.

But he had already eaten two bowls of tofu, and Fu Zhen hadn't come yet.

No one was walking around on the streets anymore.

The store owner and his wife have also made three rounds of tea.

Pei Zhan stood up, asked Guo Song to guard here, and then got up and stepped onto the alley heading to Ning Mansion.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Fu Zhen.

She stood there under the moonlight, her whole body lost in thought, as if she had turned into a stone statue.

"Miss Fu."

He called her, but she didn't hear him!

Instead, the sound of a flute suddenly reached his ears.

That's a song outside the Great Wall.

During those years in the northwest, I could almost hear the cocoon-like music in my ears.

It turned out that she was listening to the flute.

Who then played such a piece of music at this time?

Before Pei Zhan had time to figure it out, Fu Zhen had already turned around.

"Peace..."

The name he had practiced countless times on his tongue just fell out of his mouth.

The good thing is that she still didn't hear it and didn't help.

The bad thing is that she didn't hear it. The sound of the flute seemed to be more important to her than all people and things.

When she arrived at the other side of Ning Mansion, she saw Xu Yin, and Pei Zhan also saw Xu Yin.

"Did I disturb you?"

Xu Yin's voice was still soft, because the ending sound was lower, and he was not as arrogant as usual.

His voice didn't sound like a high-ranking minister, but rather like an acquaintance of hers.

Pei Zhan stared at Fu Zhen's back. He heard Fuzhen say: "Are you waiting for me?"

Pei Zhan turned around, looked up at the moon in the sky, and stepped into the night.

The alley is so peaceful that you can clearly hear your own heartbeat.

Fu Zhen clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen. He looked a little more reserved than in the daytime, but the hands covered by his sleeves were clenched into his flesh.

In her left arm, the dagger Su Xing'er brought her was still there.

Xu Yin looked at the flute in his hand: "If I say yes, what will happen to you?"

"Shilang Xu is a married man

, if you say that, you will become a scoundrel. Wouldn’t the reputation you accumulated in the past turn you into a person who is seeking fame and reputation?

"I don't think you are that stupid."

Xu Yin raised her lips and smiled: "So knowledgeable. She really doesn't look like a business woman."
