Chapter 89 Teahouse New Song Luo Jin'an's Farewell
Because of the cloak on Luo Jinan's body, Xu Nian could only move closer and wrap the silk ribbon around Luo Jinan's lower back. When Xu Nian's hand accidentally touched Luo Jinan's waist and abdomen, both of them shuddered. In the end, Xu Nian didn't even know how he finished tying it.
Luo Jinan's ears turned red as he looked at the knot on the silk in front of him and smiled foolishly. Xu Nian listened to the laughter and lowered his head and ran into the room.
Xu Nian sat at the table and drank two cups of cold tea before he felt the temperature on his face drop. He complained a little aggrievedly, "How come you are so thin-skinned now that you are an ancient? I've seen many young men with eight-pack abs."
"Miss?" Xiu'er tiptoed into the room and secretly glanced at Xu Nian's expression.
"Has everyone outside left?"
"My lady, the prince has returned to the courtyard."
At this time, Xu Nian also calmed down and began to think about the matter of the teahouse.
Although Chun Sanniang had a good voice and a pretty figure, those old songs were all stories of infatuated men and resentful women over and over again. No matter how much the tea drinkers liked them, they would get tired of them one day.
So Xu Nian planned to write a few new plays. Although she could not write scripts, she had stories in her mind. She could write the stories and let the gentleman mentioned by the troupe owner write the scripts.
Xu Nian picked up her pen and thought about which story to start with, when suddenly the word "Chi Ling" appeared in her mind.
For a while, the song "Chi Ling" firmly occupied the top of her playlist, not only because of the beautiful melody and lyrics, but also because the story behind it moved her deeply.
Xu Nian wrote the three words Pei Yanzhi, and then changed the background and location of the story. He wrote more than ten chapters before stopping. Looking at the wet ink, Xu Nian smiled with satisfaction.
Xu Nian Gu did not even have lunch, and immediately wrote two more stories, one about Mulan joining the army and the other about the Yang family generals.
After all the ink on the paper had dried, Xu Nian called Xiu'er and told her, "Tell someone to deliver these things to Chun Sanniang and ask her to find the play writer to write a few new plays based on these stories. Here's the fifty taels of silver, give it to her as well."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xu Nian picked up the snacks on the table to fill his stomach, and then began to draw the construction plan of Jingxin Pavilion.
Chun Sanniang was very surprised when she suddenly saw the person sent by her boss. She didn't come to her senses until she took the thick stack of papers.
He carefully wrote down his boss's instructions, took the banknote and then turned back to his room.
"Sanniang, who is here?"
Chun Sanniang took the stack of papers to her master's room and said, "The boss sent them here. He said to give them to the play writer and ask him to write a few new plays. He also sent a fifty-liang silver note."
The class leader picked up the paper curiously and started reading it. It was no big deal at first, but when he read to the end, he burst into tears. He was reading the story about Pei Yanzhi.
"I am a humble man who still cares about my country. The world looks down on actors like you and me, but they don't know that we have warm blood in our bodies."
Seeing how excited her master was, Chun Sanniang also picked up the paper and started reading. Not only was she moved by the stories, she even imagined a proud figure in a sea of fire.
"Master, I want to sing this play. I must sing it."
The master looked at his apprentice's sparkling eyes and said solemnly, "Practice well and don't let the master down."
The troupe owner always felt that this play was written for Chun Sanniang.
Chun Sanniang nodded solemnly.
Xu Nian planned the teahouse and wanted to take Luo Jinan for a walk around, but he didn't expect that the other party was about to leave.
Luo Jinan originally didn't want to leave so soon, but a letter came from the palace reporting that there were unusual movements in Mobei, and he needed to go back to the palace to handle business.
Although the Xu family was reluctant to let Luo Jinan go, they also knew that they should not delay their important business.
"Master, load the things you prepared for Changsheng into the car tonight, so as not to delay our departure tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll go and sort it out now."
"Second brother, go prepare some food for Changsheng. We will inevitably have to sleep outdoors during this journey, so it is better to be prepared."
"Okay, Mom."
"Second brother, you go..."
“…”
Luo Jinan looked at the people in the room who were being ordered around by Grandma Xu, and a warm feeling surged through his heart. He turned to look at Xu Nian with even more reluctance to leave.
The next day, after breakfast, Luo Jinan was ready to set off with his guards and two carriages of "love feeding". Xu Nian came over with Xiu'er and said with a smile, "I'll take you there."
Luo Jin'an originally didn't want to bother Xu Nian, but thinking that they could still spend at least two cups of tea together, he relented.
Xu Nian bent over and entered the carriage, followed by Luo Jinan.
"Niannian, if you encounter any difficulties, don't bear them alone. You still have me. Remember to write to me."
Xu Nian lowered his head and smiled, jokingly saying, "Will it be another half year without a reply?"
Luo Jin'an gently pinched Xu Nian's sleeve and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Nian Nian. I won't do that again in the future. Can you forgive me this time?"
"It's not impossible to forgive you." Facing Luo Jin'an's expectant gaze, he continued, "It depends on your performance in the future."
Luo Jinan laughed foolishly, "Okay, I will definitely perform well."
Xu Nian sent Luo Jinan to the outside of the county town and got off the carriage, but unexpectedly he met an unexpected person.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet Miss Xu here." Shang Jinzhi was sitting on the horse. When he saw that the person who got off the carriage was Xu Nian, he got off the horse in surprise.
Xu Nian also thought it was quite a coincidence. Seeing the long line of cars behind him, he asked with a smile, "Master Shang, are you heading back to Shengdu?"
"That's right. I have no regrets meeting Miss Xu here."
Xu Nian felt a little strange when he heard this. Before he could answer, he saw Luo Jinan also got off the carriage.
"Greetings, Prince."
"No need to be so polite. I haven't even congratulated Master Shang on finding a beautiful wife yet."
Xu Nian really wanted to cover his face. Luo Jinan knew how Master Shang's marriage came about. Now he was saying this, wasn't it just sarcasm?
If Luo Jinan knew what Xu Nian was thinking, he would definitely tell her that he was just making fun of her. She was about to get married, and yet she dared to mess with his Nian Nian.
"Is the prince going back to the royal city? The mountains are high and the roads are long. I'm afraid I don't know when I can come back to Wansheng County."
Luo Jinan chuckled and played with the silk sash around her waist. "If I have concerns in my heart, I can see you every day."
Shang Jinzhi saw the silk in Luo Jinan's hand, his eyes darkened, and he said with a folded hand: "Then I will set off first. I hope the prince will get what he wants soon."
Seeing Shang Jinzhi already on the horse, Xu Nian secretly pinched Luo Jinan's arm and said, "Are you childish? Hurry up and get on the car and start the journey. Don't delay the time."
Luo Jinan rubbed Xu Nian's head, turned around and got on the carriage with satisfaction, leaving the angry Xu Nian standing there alone.
