Chapter 19 Listening to Music Under the Moon
The magnificent banquet hall was filled with celebrities, most of whom Chu Yunshu did not know.
But that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen them, such as a well-known international director, a senior government official who is often seen in the news, or a legendary business legend.
Those celebrities who are known as the top stars in the entertainment industry are just here to keep company.
I didn’t expect that Lin Yang had some abilities and could receive an invitation to such a cocktail party.
Chu Yunshu didn't understand why Lin Yang brought him here, but the original book had many illogical parts, so no matter what happened, he was not surprised.
Anyway, I can't escape the control of the plot, so I'll just accept it.
"See? The people here are either rich or noble. They have resources that you will never be able to reach even if you work hard for your entire life."
Lin Yang's smugness was evident on his face.
What he meant was that he could easily bring Chu Yunshu in front of these people, and as long as Chu Yunshu followed him, the benefits he could get would be far more than what he saw on the crew.
If it were Chu Yunshu in the original book, he would have been dazzled by the dazzling and luxurious visual feast before him and would have just believed whatever Lin Yang said.
But as a former emperor, even if he was held hostage by the empress dowager, at least a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although it is different from the modern times, the state banquet of Nanyu Kingdom is not inferior to such a banquet.
Therefore, for Chu Yunshu, who came from a book, he could appreciate it, but he was not shocked.
Therefore, Lin Yang's little plan was in vain.
"Mr. Lin, I'm going to the bathroom." Chu Yunshu found that once he entered the banquet hall, the plot's constraints on him were lifted.
After regaining his freedom, his first reaction was to stay away from Lin Yang.
Before Lin Yang could say anything, a man came towards him holding a wine glass. He waved his hand and told Chu Yunshu to go and come back quickly.
Chu Yunshu noticed that there was a very handsome man standing next to the man who was drinking with Lin Yang.
There are not many people who Chu Yunshu finds good-looking. Ji Heng, whom he met at the horse farm that day, is one of them, and the other is the man at the cocktail party.
Different from Ji Heng's angular and somewhat hard features, this man had very soft eyebrows and eyes, and very fair skin. Under the bright lights, he did not have a single flaw.
His beauty is a bit androgynous, so beautiful that it easily makes people feel pity and closeness.
No wonder there were so many people who liked him in the original book. Even after he was with Qiu Lang, there were still many people pursuing him.
This person is Hao Yifeng, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the entertainment industry. So the man next to him is another male protagonist of the original book, Qiu Lang, the president of Langri Media.
Judging from their current status, they are probably not together yet.
However, Chu Yunshu had no intention of getting involved in their relationship, so he just took a look and walked towards the bathroom.
There is a long corridor leading out of the bathroom, and the other end of the corridor is connected to the garden outside.
Chu Yunshu walked out through the crystal door.
At this moment, the cocktail party had just begun and everyone else was still in the banquet hall. He was happy and relaxed, so he strolled around in the moonlight.
When he came, he knew that the manor was extremely large and the layout inside was divided into different styles.
The banquet hall is dominated by Western-style buildings, and the garden design is also modern, bright and grand, with exceptionally bright and gorgeous lighting.
The place where Chu Yunshu walked to at this moment was full of ancient charm, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, strange rocks and rockery lined up among the green and flowery paths. Under the cover of the night, it still retained its exquisite elegance.
It reminded Chu Yunshu of the back garden of the Nanyu Palace.
Before he entered the book, he left a secret code in the Yanyun Pavilion. He didn't know whether his master saw it.
There was a faint sound of music coming, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water in my ears, light and melodious, and it sounded somewhat familiar.
Chu Yunshu stopped and listened for a while, then walked in the direction of the music.
The cold moonlight blends with the lights of the street lamps in the garden, sprinkles on the bluestone path, and the gurgling water flows through the quiet garden. This place is far away from the banquet hall and is a peaceful and tranquil world of its own.
Walking here, Chu Yunshu felt a bit like visiting friends in the mountains.
The music came from an ancient zither with excellent sound quality, and the person playing the zither was an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
The old man was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a half moon was reflected in the lake. For a moment, Chu Yunshu seemed to have returned to Nanyu Kingdom, that afternoon when he was thirteen years old.
That was the first and last time he saw his real mother. It was not the Queen Mother who held him hostage, but Concubine Hui who had been tortured in the cold palace and looked like a monster.
Even so, she was still happy when she saw him, and even took out the guqin that was about to fall apart and played a piece of "Xie Yu".
The old man in front of him was playing this very piece of music. Although Chu Yunshu didn't understand why there was such a piece of music in this book, it didn't stop him from appreciating it.
However, the old man stopped playing halfway through, noticing the young man standing not far away, Leng Zhongyuan smiled and greeted him, "Young man, are you here to attend the cocktail party?"
Although it is a question, the tone used is affirmative.
Chu Yunshu came back to his senses and bowed slightly to apologize: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to come out for some fresh air, but I accidentally entered the master's garden without paying attention, and I forgot about it when I heard the piano music."
He has now realized that this should be private territory. It is really rude to barge in without permission.
"No problem." The young man in front of him was tall and slender, with an extremely handsome appearance. Although he seems to be in his early twenties, his temperament is outstanding and calm, and he has his own charm.
Leng Zhongyuan took the teapot beside him and poured a cup: "If you don't mind, why don't you drink a cup with me."
The rich aroma of tea filled the air, and Chu Yunshu no longer refused. He walked over and sat next to Leng Zhongyuan and took the teacup.
"What do you think, young friend?" Leng Zhongyuan put the teapot back with a kind smile on his face.
Chu Yunshu put down the teacup: "It tastes fresh, mellow and sweet, with a long-lasting aftertaste, and a sweet and fragrant aroma. Thanks to the old man, I can say that I have drunk good tea today."
The smile on Leng Zhongyuan's face deepened a little, and his wise eyes were also stained with a smile: "I didn't expect that you also know tea?"
It's rare to be so young.
Chu Yunshu was respectful and generous: "You are too polite, old sir. You can just call me Jinzhi."
Jinzhi is his courtesy name.
"Excuse me, old sir, does the piece you just played have a name?"
Seeing that he was interested in the song, Leng Zhongyuan said, "It doesn't have a name, it's just a fragment of a song. I was in the mood tonight because of the beautiful moonlight, but I didn't expect there would be an audience."
"A fragment of a song?"
Secretary Chu Yun remembered that Concubine Hui played the entire piece at that time.
After the song was finished, he was called away by the palace maid who came hurriedly to find him. A few years later, when he went to the cold palace again, the woman who called herself "Concubine Hui" and made him live well at all costs was no longer there.
"Have you ever heard this song?"
Leng Zhongyuan just asked tentatively, but heard Chu Yunshu say: "I was fortunate enough to hear a song."
He looked a little excited: "Oh, then can Jinzhi do it?"
