Tu Shanjing stood up, bowed and said, "It's nothing. We were inspired by the atmosphere of everyone drinking and chatting happily, and we were in a good mood. We just wanted to sing a song together."

Fenglong raised his wine glass and smiled: "Is that so? Then please come in!" After that, he clapped his hands three times. All the music in the hall stopped immediately, and everyone's eyes turned to this side.

Tu Shanjing walked to the piano and sat down. He looked up at me. I nodded to him, and he began to play the piano smoothly.

At first the sound of the piano was like raindrops dripping in a bamboo forest, then like the gurgling of a spring, and suddenly it was as rapid as a waterfall, rushing down. After a while, it gradually soothed itself, and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

I stood opposite Tushan Jing, and like everyone else, I was amazed. Everyone's impression of Tushan Jing was always limited to those rumors. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears, how would they know that the young master was unparalleled in the world, and only above the rumors.

The sound of the piano suddenly slowed down, and the tune I just hummed for him flowed out. I also sang with a desperate attitude: "The sea laughs, and the tides surge on both sides. Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering today. The sky laughs, and the tides of the world are in chaos. Who will be defeated and who will win, only God knows..."

Great music must be simple, great principles must be simple. This simple but not simplistic, repetitive but not monotonous song also won the hearts of the men present. Later on, many people clapped their cups and followed me in singing "La La La La La" with red faces and stretched voices.

I glanced at Fang Fengbei and felt relieved when I saw that he no longer questioned me. My eyes met Tu Shanjing's.

He didn't look down at the piano, but looked straight at me, his eyes full of smiles. I was lost in his gaze, and I felt that everything around me became blurry, and everyone else became still. Only the two of us were still looking at each other, resonating, and communicating with each other.

However, there is no song in the world that does not end with the audience dispersing. As his slender hands plucked the strings of the zither back and forth, the lingering lingering sound circled a few times and dissipated in the air.

"Good!" Feng Long led the way in clapping vigorously. Everyone cheered and applauded continuously. In this lively moment, I suddenly felt cold, and a sense of inexplicable sadness surged in my heart. I don't know if it was because I sang the songs of my world and felt homesick and nostalgic, or because I remembered that he and I would inevitably part ways one day, and I suddenly felt sad.

Seeing that I looked strange, Tu Shanjing frowned slightly, with a questioning look in his eyes. I came to my senses, shook my head gently at him, and forced a smile to tell him that I was fine. He then stood up and bowed to Feng Long: "Excuse me for showing off my ugliness."

Feng Long clapped his hands and laughed: "Mr. Bai is a great musician, and his appearance and talent are extraordinary. Feng Long admires him! Madam Bai is even more of a heroine, and her heroic spirit is no less than that of men. Feng Long really admires her!"

I also bowed and said, "Master Fenglong, thank you for your compliment. We can't eat your meal for free. We have to give you something in return. Only then can we eat this meal with peace of mind! As long as you like it, that's good."

Feng Long said, "When I make friends, I never care about what's in return! If I give 100% and expect the other party to give at least 80% in return, then it becomes a business transaction!"

I laughed and said, "From what you said, I'm afraid it's a losing business!"

Feng Long slammed his head and laughed: "Yes, yes! I am not good at doing business! I will leave it all to my brothers from the Tushan family."

Tu Shanjing looked at him from afar and said, "Every profession has its own specialization. Sir, this is a worry-free approach. You are a blessed person."

Feng Long probably didn't know how to respond, so he simply picked up his glass and laughed: "Haha, drink, drink!"

Tu Shanjing smiled, returned to the table, picked up the glass, toasted with him, and drank the wine in the glass. I also took the opportunity to follow him back to the table and sat down.

This time, looking at Fang Fengbei again, his eyes were no longer sharp, but a thoughtful expression. Holding the wine glass with three fingers, he said to me: "Cheers to 'God knows who will win and who will lose'!"

I couldn't help but sigh that this man had a sense of justice in his heart. I also let go of his previous questioning and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He smiled gently and said, "I have something else to do. I will leave after I tell Master Fenglong. It is my honor to meet you two today. The bright moon reflects the orchid, and the fragrance fills the crescent moon. I hope we can meet again in the future."

Tu Shanjing nodded and toasted him again: "The mountains remain green, the water flows forever, we will meet again if we are destined to."

Fangfeng Bei drank the wine in his glass, stood up and floated to Master Fenglong like a gust of wind to say goodbye to him.

Seeing him leave, Tu Shanjing leaned over and whispered to me, "The man who led us in just now is called Changbao. Find a chance to tell him that it's humid this day and the books are all at Yunqi Inn. You need to take them out to dry when you have time."

I kept it in mind, looked up at Changbao who was sitting in the first seat, and said "OK". I looked up inadvertently and found Xiaotao opposite, holding her chin with one hand, staring at us intently.

I felt a little guilty, afraid that she would notice something. Unexpectedly, she smiled and said to us, "Oh, I really envy you two, your love for each other!"

Tu Shanjing and I looked at each other subconsciously, then quickly looked away. I coughed lightly and said, "The girl is joking."

At this time Fangfeng Bei came back, bowed to us, and walked out the door holding Xiaotao.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was flushed with wine, and they started to move around and toast to various tables. Tu Shanjing showed off his skills, and naturally some people who didn't know him but wanted to get close to him raised their glasses to toast. I smiled and gave them a seat, retreated behind the crowd, and stood by the pillar at the door.

A low voice came from behind: "Changbao has met the girl."

I was startled and looked back. Changbao was standing in the shadow of the pillar, holding a wine glass. I whispered to him, "Do you recognize me?"

Chang Bao replied, "I worked on the Lan Kwai Ferry during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I recognize the girl."

I secretly praised him in my heart, as expected of someone who left a name behind by Tu Shanjing, he was indeed meticulous in his work. So I said, "You are a prudent person. The master asked me to tell you, 'It's humid this day, the books are all in Yunqi Inn, take them out to dry when you have time.' Did you listen carefully?"

Changbao replied, "Don't worry, young lady. I'm listening carefully." After that, he took the wine glass and went to the crowd to toast Tu Shanjing.

I finished my errands and sent Feng Bao away, finally feeling relaxed. I stood by the door and listened to the cold wind outside. I felt a little chilly, so I returned to my seat and ate two more bites of the food I hadn't thought of eating before.

Not long after, Tu Shanjing took the excuse that Xiaowei was young and went to bed early, and took us to say goodbye.
