Chapter 539 540 [Playing the piano to a cow]


    Qianlong and Heshen saw that they had disturbed the people in the house, and they quickly ran downstairs in embarrassment.


    Xiang Nan saw this and 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 and she had words in her mouth. Her voice became a little muffled, so that neither Qianlong nor Heshen recognized her.


    ?However, Xiang Nan has been with Du Xiaoyue day and night, so he is 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," Heshen said again.


    "In that case, let''s take 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 woman." Qianlong smiled and said, "If it is convenient, can you let us meet her, it will be a lifetime comfort."


    Xiang Nan rolled his eyes when he heard this.


    “Ha, you’ve listened to the piano for nothing and you still want to meet someone? How can such a good thing happen in the world?” Du Xiaoyue sneered.


    Qianlong was retorted and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "In that case, we won''t bother you. 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 have taken a look at 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''ll let you listen to the piano and watch people. If you lose, I will take something from each of you." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile.


    When Qianlong and Heshen heard this, they both found it interesting and said, "Come on then."


    …


    ?Du Xiaoyue immediately returned to her room to discuss the matter with Miss Hong Xia.


    Hong Xia didn''t want to be troublesome at first, 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 poems and books, and are full of knowledge." 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.


    “In that case, let’s guess a riddle.” Hong Xia said, “Based on 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 when 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 began to guess.


    …


    "Ah, I have it. Miss, is this the word?" He Shen quickly had the answer, "Nie, double-eared Nie."


    “Oh, how do you say it?” Hong Xia said with a smile.


    "When you 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, "Slow down. Sir, there may be only one point in what you said, but what you are thinking is too simple. You are 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.


    Heshen was quite depressed when he heard this.


    At this time, Qianlong also came to inspiration, "Miss, is it a word for Mi? Gong, Ermi?"


    “How do you say it?” Hongxia said with a smile.


    "囧" means from the bow to the ear. The bow is the string, which is extended to the qin here. Playing the strings is naturally 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 one ear.” He Shen reminded with a smile.


    "Hey, no matter whether there are three, five or ten people listening to the piano, there is only one close friend." Qianlong argued.


    “Oh, that’s it, my realm is high.” Heshen heard this and said with admiration, “Miss, our master guessed it right, right?”


    “This gentleman is really unique and has high standards, unique insights and lofty realm.” 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 doesn’t fit with the mystery after all.”


    “Did you guess it right?” Qianlong was a little surprised.


    "That 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 tobacco 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 Heshen and Qianlong.


    “It’s over.” 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 guess?” Xiang Nan asked.


    “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, is the word for ''running'', right? It means running with three cows?"


    "Sir, you are indeed a great talent. You guessed it right." Hong Xia said in surprise.


    "Ah?!" Qianlong and Heshen stopped after hearing this. "How can it be the word Ben? This is not the same. 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, play 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 a word for "running". "


    "Oh, Lao Ji, why do you depreciate yourself so much?" Qianlong and He Shen were both angry when they heard this.


    "Hey, I''m not deprecating myself. 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 right, you can go upstairs and listen to the piano, right? Then I will Went up.


    Hey, this time I went up to play the harp not to the cow, but to my close friend, until dawn. See you tomorrow~"


    Qianlong and Heshen 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 frustratedly, "We are not as skilled as others and our knowledge is not as good as others. If we lose, we will lose. Second, we must be generous in our conduct, otherwise there will be no pattern. "


    “You’re right!” He Shen quickly agreed.
