Fast Time Traveling Moon Old Candidate

Chapter 95 Du Shiniang (18)

Jing Wenfu sat on the soft couch holding a teacup, closed his eyes and listened to Bai Lu's playing. Jing Wenfu was so mesmerized by the song "House of Flying Daggers", it took a long time to recover after the song ended. Looking at Bai Lu with bright eyes, "Lu'er's piano skills are really comparable to those of contemporary masters."

"My lord is overrated." Bai Lu hugged the pipa, with two faint blushes on her cheeks, she smiled shyly.

"Why should Lu'er be so modest?" Jing Wenfu put some tea in his cup, took a sip and asked, "Where did Lu'er live before?"

Bai Lu was putting the pipa in her hand back on the shelf. When she heard Jing Wenfu's question, her eyes dimmed a little. She slipped her hand and the pipa fell from her hand. It fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound, breaking into two pieces.

"Lu'er, are you okay! Are you hurt?" Jing Wenfu hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Bai Lu in two or three steps, and held her hand with a worried expression.

Bai Lu's slender eyelashes kept shaking, and the heat from her hands was ironing her heart. She hurriedly shook her head, pulled out her hand and turned around, "No, it's okay."

"Miss, are you okay!" Hearing the noise in the room, Xiao Huai, who had been waiting outside the door, hurriedly asked, as if she would rush in as soon as Bai Lu said a word.

"It's nothing, it's just that something fell off." Bai Lu responded with a raised voice, clenched her hands tightly, and waited for the warmth from Jing Wenfu to dissipate before turning around again, "Young master, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Jing Wenfu smiled, and sat back on the soft bed, "Just, I want to know more about Lu'er, am I being too abrupt?"

After all, the other party spent 1000 taels of silver for him, and he did nothing but make tea and play the piano. If he didn't even answer his questions, it would be a bit too much.

Bai Lu shook her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, "No, it's just a little accident." After speaking, she walked to the soft edge and sat down, making tea while answering, "My family's ancestral home is Changhe, I grew up in Changhe, and I came here with my parents a year ago. Shang Jincheng." After speaking, Bai Lu stopped and stopped talking.

Jing Wenfu was stunned, knowing that something must have happened within this year that caused Bai Lu to fall to the Qin Tower, so she stopped asking and changed the subject casually, "Lu'er was at home before, but Ever read a book?"

"Father is a learned man. There used to be a lot of books in the house, and the slaves have read some."

"Oh? Have you read those?" Jing Wenfu frowned even more. Although he asked casually, he was still a little surprised to learn that Bai Lu had really read the books.

Bai Lu tilted her head and thought for a while, "University, Doctrine of the Mean, Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Book of Changes, Spring and Autumn Annals, all of these have been read."

"I didn't expect Lu'er to be so knowledgeable." When it came to poetry and books, Jing Wenfu became interested, "Among these books, which one do you like the most?"

"Favorite... should be..."

Bai Lu and Jing Wenfu began to discuss the poems and books all night, and they didn't give up until Xiaohuai knocked on the door after midnight.

"It's time to arrive, I don't know if Mr. Jing is going back to the mansion or staying in the boat?" Xiaohuai asked outside the door.

Hearing that he could still sleep on the painting boat, Jing Wenfu looked at the pure and refined Bai Lu under the candlelight, and his mind immediately became active. The hands under the sleeves were slightly sweating, and they held them nervously, with a touch of tentativeness. He said, "If I'm staying on a boat tonight, it's probably not right."

After the conversation just now, Bai Lu was no longer as nervous about Jing Wenfu as she was before, and she smiled slightly, "Don't worry about Wenfu, only me and the maids are staying here on this boat, and most of the rooms are vacant. If Wen Fu wants to rest in the boat, the slave family can ask Xiao Huai and the others to clean up an empty room."

Jing Wenfu sighed with regret and relief, "In that case, please give Lu'er some instructions."
