Lin Wanwan looked in the direction of Nan Xi's hand and saw Nan Mi, who looked like a ghost. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Hahahaha, Nanmi, hahahaha, yes, I'm sorry~"
Nan Mi looked at her hands full of ink and stamped her feet in anger, "Girl! You! How can I go out with you like this!"
"Nan Mi, you are so beautiful! Really, hahaha!"
"Nanxing, stop laughing! Take her to wash up! Hurry!"
Lin Wanwan took Fu Junyi to the private room on the third floor and asked someone to bring tea up.
Fu Junyi walked in and took a look around, and couldn't help but praise: "I thought the decoration in the county was elegant enough, but I didn't expect it to be inferior to this. Is this piano table made of huanghuali? The color is really good, uh, but the piano is a little bit worse."
Lin Wanwan watched him pick and choose, trying out several tones, and it was obvious that he knew a lot about the piano.
"Hehe, I don't know much about the zither, so I just bought one randomly. I can see that Mr. Fu knows about the zither, so I wonder if he can play a song for me to broaden my horizons?"
Fu Junyi did not refuse and asked Fu Qiu to bring a wooden stool over. He flicked his long sleeves, sat down, straightened his clothes, stroked the surface of the piano with both hands, and closed his eyes to concentrate.
Then she opened her eyes, and her fingertips began to pluck the strings. A soothing and melodious sound slowly came. The sound was gentle and powerful, like a stream flowing in the mountains, or a breeze blowing on the face. It was as if she was in the mountains, with a vast world, lush grass and flying birds. The lingering sound lingered in her ears for a long time, and even she, who did not understand the music of the piano, could not help but be intoxicated by it.
Fu Qiu whispered, "In the capital, apart from the musician Xiangle, my son is the best at playing the zither! He is proficient in everything from playing the zither to chess, calligraphy and painting. What a pity... Alas, the Fu family is like a den of tigers and wolves..."
"Why doesn't your son pursue a career in government?"
"The Madam passed away early, and the Master married a second wife, who gave birth to the fifth and sixth daughters. He then registered the second son born to the concubine under his name. He always outspent our son in terms of food, clothing and expenses, and never took us to important banquets. The Master turned a blind eye to the overt and covert suppression. What's even more infuriating is that they conspired to plot against the private property that the Madam left for the son! They almost succeeded at that time. When the son's grandfather, Mr. Bai, found out, he was furious and joined forces with several businesses to suppress the Fu family. Only then did they beg for mercy."
"At that time, the young master was dying because someone put drugs in his food every day. Mr. Bai took him back and sought medical treatment everywhere. He was finally saved and recovered in the Bai Mansion. Alas! Since ancient times, officials are not allowed to do business. The young master couldn't swallow this breath. From then on, he gave up the idea of becoming an official in the court. He wanted to do a good job in the sugar business and take over the tea business of the Fu family."
Lin Wanwan looked at the handsome young man opposite her, who could have imagined that his life was so rough. A child without a mother to take care of him, with a father who didn't care about him and was calculating his property all day long, he could only bear the bitterness and hardship alone, which was very difficult!
"I heard from Eunuch Cao before that his father sent him back to Yunzhou to look after the family. Why?"
"When the young master grew up, the master, under pressure from the Bai family, gave him a tea house and two tea shops. The tea house was originally going to be abandoned, and the tea it produced every year was of the lowest quality.
Our young master visited many tea farmers and consulted the classics, only to find out that it was a soil problem and that tea trees could no longer be planted. There was no other way, so the young master could only plant on Yunwu Mountain next to the tea garden. In the past two years, the two shops were still losing money, and he was ridiculed by the Fu family. He even thought about giving up, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
In the third year, Yunwu Tea became famous as soon as it was released, but due to its scarcity, it was in short supply. Gradually, Yunwu Tea was ranked among the top-grade teas, and a batch was selected every year and sent to the palace. This made them very jealous.
Last time, the second son bribed the tea delivery steward to adulterate the tea sent to the palace, which displeased the emperor. When the master found out, he was furious and took the opportunity to take back the tea shop, but failed. Yunwu Mountain was not in the tea shop, but had been bought by the son. In the end, they only took back two shops and an abandoned tea garden. In a rage, they drove the son back to his hometown to reflect on himself, and wanted to hand over all the affairs of the palace to the second son. Our son also took the opportunity to replace the people around him and sent a trusted person to Yunwu Mountain to take charge!"
Fu Qiu looked up and glanced at Fu Junyi again. Seeing that he was still concentrating on playing the zither, he continued, "I originally thought that the young master wanted to give up the fight for the position of the head of the Fu family, but who knew that he met Miss Lin again! No one could have imagined that the eldest son of the Fu family would sell top-quality candy when he returned to Beijing! It caused a sensation in the whole capital at that time! Not only did our young master show up in various major families again, he also made his current wife sick with anger, hehe!"
Lin Wanwan was amused by him and laughed. When she came to her senses, she found that Fu Junyi had stopped playing and was looking at her in confusion.
So they quickly clapped their hands and cheered: "Mr. Fu, you played so well! I have never heard such beautiful music, it's like heavenly music!"
Fu Junyi was also amused by her and said with a smile: "Nonsense, you obviously didn't listen just now."
"Oh, you are wronging me! I listened very carefully! Mr. Fu played so well, you'd be a fool not to listen!"
Fu Junyi put the piano away, stretched his fingers, walked over and sat down, picked up the tea and took two sips.
"What were you two talking about just now?"
Lin Wanwan turned her head to glance at Fu Qiu, and seeing Fu Qiu winking at her, she smiled and said, "I just heard him tell some interesting stories about you in the past."
Fu Jun also raised his eyebrows.
"for example?"
Uh...how should I write this? Suddenly, she had an idea!
"For example, if you don't like taking medicine, you'll make a scene every time you take it!"
Fu Junyi rested his chin on his head, stared at her and chuckled, "Didn't you know this a long time ago?"
