540 [Playing the piano to the cow]
When Qianlong and He Shen saw that they had disturbed the people in the house, they quickly ran downstairs in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan also followed with a smile.
As soon as the door opened, a girl with a face covered stood at the railing on the second floor.
"Who are you?" Du Xiaoyue leaned over and looked at Qianlong and the other three, pretending not to know.
Her face was covered with a handkerchief, with plum blossoms in her mouth, and her voice became a little unclear, so that Qianlong and He Shen didn't recognize her.
However, Xiang Nan had been with Du Xiaoyue day and night, so he was very familiar with her. Even though she covered half of her face and couldn't speak clearly, she still recognized her quickly.
"We are all passing guests." He Shen explained in a panic.
"Have you all booked a room?" Xiaoyue asked again.
"It's settled, it's settled," He Shen said again.
"In that case, let's all have a rest." Du Xiaoyue said calmly.
"Hey, girl, wait a minute. We came here following the sound of the piano, and I guess it must be played by a beautiful lady." Qianlong said with a smile, "If it is convenient, can you let me meet her once, it will be a comfort to my life."
When Xiang Nan heard this, he rolled his eyes.
"Ha, you have listened to the piano for nothing and you still want to meet someone? How can such a good thing in the world be possible?" Du Xiaoyue sneered.
Qianlong was retorted and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "In that case, we won't disturb you anymore. We're back, we're back."
He Shen also hurriedly followed him with frowning eyes.
"Hey, that gentleman's pipe is pretty good." Seeing their embarrassment, Du Xiaoyue became interested and said.
"Hey, you've taken a liking to my tobacco pouch." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Girl, do you have any other instructions?"
"Well, let's play a game. If you win, I will let you listen to the piano and watch people. If you lose, I will take something from each person." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
When Qianlong and He Shen heard this, they all found it interesting and said, "Come on then."
…
Du Xiaoyue immediately went back to her room to discuss the matter with Miss Hong Xia.
Hong Xia originally didn't want to be troublesome, but seeing Xiaoyue playing so crazy, she couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so she nodded and agreed, "Miss Xiaoyue, what game should we play with them?"
"Well, how about guessing a riddle? You think of a riddle for them to guess." Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Hong Xia nodded and then thought of an excellent riddle.
Her father, Hong Derui, was a royal censor and was also a Jinshi at that time. She has a rich family background and has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child.
Xiaoyue immediately led Hong Xia out of the door, and then asked, "Are all three of you literate?"
"Girl, when you look at the two of us, you can tell that we have read a lot of poetry and books, and are full of talents." He Shen pointed at himself and Qianlong and said, "As for the one holding the pipe, although he has no talent, he can still recognize the calligraphy."
"Thank you!" Xiang Nan rolled her eyes at him and said.
"In that case, let's guess a riddle." Hong Xia said, "Using tonight's situation, come up with a riddle, 'Mr. Three listens to the piano', type one word!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Heshen clapped his hands and laughed as soon as he heard this riddle.
"It's limited to one stick of incense. If we can't guess it by then, we'll have to get something." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
The three of them immediately started guessing.
…
"Ah, I have it. Miss, is this the word?" He Shen quickly had the answer, "Nie, double-eared Nie."
"Oh, how do you put it?" Hong Xia said with a smile.
"To listen to the piano, of course, you use your ears. Three ears, doesn't it mean Nie?" Heshen explained, "Miss, I am lucky enough to listen to you playing the piano tonight."
Hong Xia waved her hand and said, "Sir, your words may only make sense. But what you are thinking is too simple. I'm sorry, you guessed wrong."
"Yeah, if it's that easy, is it worth it for us to light a lamp and waste wax?" Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.
He Shen was quite frustrated when he heard this.
At this time, Qianlong also had an inspiration, "Miss, is it a word for Mi? Gong, Ermi?"
"How do you say it?" Hongxia said with a smile.
"MI" comes from the bow and the ear. The bow is the string, which is extended to the qin here. Playing the strings naturally means playing the qin. One string and one ear is naturally the interpretation of the word." Qianlong explained.
"Sir, it's Mr. San who listens to the piano, not an ear." He Shen reminded with a smile.
"Hey, no matter whether there are three people, five people, or ten people listening to the piano, there is only one close friend." Qianlong argued.
"Oh, I see, my level is really high." Heshen heard this and said with admiration, "Miss, our master guessed it right, right?"
"This gentleman is indeed unique and high-standard, with unique insights and lofty realms." Hong Xia nodded.
"Thank you, Miss, for your appreciation. Then I will go up." Qianlong said with a smile.
"Wait a minute~" Hong Xia waved her hand, "Sir, there is a realm, but it is not consistent with the mystery."
"Did you guess it right?" Qianlong was a little surprised.
"What you said makes sense, but I didn't guess the riddle correctly. I'm going to invite you, sir." Hong Xia shook her head and said.
Qianlong had no choice but to sit back depressedly.
…
"Hey, the one left with the cigarette bag, don't just smoke, it's your turn to guess." Du Xiaoyue urged Xiang Nan.
"Ah, have you finished guessing?" Xiang Nan put down his pipe and looked at He Shen, Qianlong said.
"I'm done guessing." Both of them said with unhappy expressions.
"You haven't guessed it yet?" Xiang Nan asked again.
"I guess I still need you?" He Shen said angrily.
"Then what did you all guess?" Xiang Nan asked next.
"I guessed it was Nie, and Third Master guessed it was Mi." He Shen explained.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Since both of these are wrong, then I know it. Miss, it means 'running', right? It means running with three heads of cows?"
"Sir, you are really talented. You guessed it right." Hong Xia said in surprise.
"Ah?!" Qianlong and He Shen stopped talking after hearing this, "How can it be the word Ben? This is not the same thing. The third master and I are relatively reliable, but you have no sense at all."
"Who says it doesn't make sense?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "As the saying goes, playing the piano to a cow. Playing the piano to three of us who have different musical styles is equivalent to playing the piano to three cows. So, it is the word "running".
"
"Oh, Lao Ji, why do you depreciate yourself so much?" Qianlong and He Shen both said angrily when they heard this.
"Hey, I'm not self-deprecating, I'm guessing what the lady is thinking. In the lady's heart, aren't we just three cows?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Miss, if you guessed correctly, you can go upstairs and listen to the piano, right? Then I will
Went up.
Hey, this time I go up not to play the harp to the cow, but to play the harp to my bosom friend until dawn. See you tomorrow~"
Qianlong and He Shen couldn't help but become angry when they saw that he had guessed correctly and could still spend the night with the lady.
"Third Master, what should we do?" He Shen said unconvinced.
"What else can we do? Go to sleep." Qianlong also said in frustration, "We are not as skilled as others and our knowledge is not as good as others. If we lose, we lose. Second, we must be generous in our conduct, otherwise there is no pattern.
