After Xiao Taohong finished singing, Kang Yueran said, "Let Xiao Taohong rest for a quarter of an hour. There is another song to come."
Chai Shiyan said anxiously: "Sing quickly!"
Princess Xuan glanced at the male guest and said with a smile, "It's rare to see the prince so anxious!"
Xiao Taohong bowed but did not leave the stage. She signaled to the musicians next to the stage that she could continue singing.
The musician nodded and slowly played a tune...
This piece of music is "On the Love of Lotus" by Zhou Dunyi of the Song Dynasty. The history of Dayong includes the Jin Dynasty and Tao Yuanming. Kang Yueran only slightly changed the last part, "Since the Tang Dynasty."
After listening to the song, Chai Shiyan didn't hear a few words clearly, so he asked Xiao Taohong to sing it again.
He asked, "Miss Kang, did you write these two poems?"
Kang Yueran didn't have that ability. "I didn't write it. I read it from my master's collection of poems. I only memorized a few of them."
"How many songs have you memorized? Can you write them down so I can see them?"
Chai Shijing said, "I'll go help Miss Kang write." A woman's poems and calligraphy, even if they are not love poems, should not be given to other men.
Chai Shiyan laughed a few times and said, "I was so carried away by the good words I saw. Please don't be offended, young lady. Thank you, Sixth Brother."
The maid brought the four treasures of the study. Kang Yueran read them while Chai Shijing wrote them while the others admired the beautiful poems and lyrics.
Today's play ends here.
Everyone was still not satisfied, but the show had to end eventually.
Chai Shibo asked Kang Yueran, "Miss Kang, did Zhang Sheng give you the Zhuangzi?"
"Not yet! Uh... I'll go and urge them tomorrow. I'm leaving in a few days, and I need to make some arrangements before I go. I want to plant grapes and watermelons."
Chu Yun asked excitedly, "Why grow grapes and watermelons? What's the point?"
Growing fruits makes more money than growing grains. "When the grapes are ripe, we can make wine. As for growing watermelons, I like to eat them."
"Wine from foreign countries? That wine doesn't taste very good, Miss Kang. Can the wine you can make be better than the wine from foreign countries?"
Kang Yueran had never drunk wine in Dayong. "I have to try it. Besides, wine is more suitable for women."
Some drank, some played, and Chai Shibo liked it the most. He said with great enthusiasm: "Okay, tomorrow I will help you go to the Zhang family to ask for the farm."
Chai Shiyan quickly stopped him, "Don't go!"
Chu Yun also spoke at the same time, "I'll go with you!"
