After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Chapter 73 In-depth investigation

This kind of specious words are just for listening and should not be taken seriously.

As soon as the news came out, the girls in other buildings outside immediately became unhappy and unwilling to accept it.

"No that's not fair."

“The singing at the beginning was also quite good.”

“No one behind me is watching anymore.”

"Two people sang together, and it was obvious that the man sang more..."

"Yes, yes, if we have to choose, we should choose the man. He can sing and play the piano."

"Where did this Yutang come from? None of us sisters have ever heard of him."

They were indignant, noisy, and spoke in sarcastic tones. A brothel owner from another building was also extremely angry until a servant outside whispered a few words in her ear, and then she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Others have commented that she sang well, saying that she was original, clever, and courageous. You don't know her, but the young people outside know her, and the teenagers all chose her."

"Humph, she is a few years younger than us, but we are not bad either. Those who can become Red Sisters are young. There are not many young people in this courtyard..."

"Yes, what you said is right, but it was Old Master Fu who made these comments," said the madam with a smile.

Hearing this, the noise in the hall suddenly stopped. Old Master Fu...

"Let's not talk about other things for now. This is just a man of courage..." The madam's eyes swept over Li Yao and Shuangshuang. You know it in your hearts, right?

After these words were spoken, thinking back to the original situation, she understood the cause. Li Yao and Shuangshuang, the two girls mentioned by the madam, were pale and had wandering eyes. It was their turn not to go on stage just now, but they were implicated and decided to go on stage early. At that time, she could be considered to have saved the situation.

"Courageous. This word seems to suit her very well."

At that time, it was not only a rescue, but also a restoration of the Fu family's face. Of course, they must try their best to repay them now.

"Well, well, if it's my turn, I will also go up..." Some people still refused to accept it.

"If you put it that way, then there is nothing we can do. Luck is not something that everyone has. Luck is also a matter of fate."

The noise in the hall gradually died down, and the girls had to admit, no matter how unwilling they were, that they had indeed lost the game, and the result was set.

"Hmph, I would say that Yingge should be blamed." A girl seemed to have finally found a good excuse.

When the people around heard her say this, they all looked at her.

"She first wrote the Water Melody to attract us to sing it, and then she wrote another poem while we were singing. After that, when we performed, no one watched it anymore."

"Otherwise, the Fu family wouldn't have been so cautious in the selection process."

This seems to make sense, it's all Yingge's fault.

As for Yingge, not only did the girls miss her, but Fu Ziyan walked out of the hallway and found Fu Zijing, grabbed him and said, "Where's Yingge? Take me to find her. Grandpa wants to talk to her."

Fu Zijing said, "She's gone."

Fu Ziyan was stunned. "Why did she leave? Grandpa hasn't even seen her yet. How could she not think of such an important thing? You have to persuade her anyway."

There might have been some hesitation before, but once these three poems came out, some elders of the Fu family had to meet her in person.

"She's injured, and she said she's been out playing for too long, and she's worried about her mother, so she has to go back first. She said that, how can I stop her?"

Fu Ziyan said, "Yes, you are right, you are all right. Yingge looks sick and weak, it's time for him to go back and rest."

As the two were talking, there was a commotion nearby. It turned out that a young man was passing by with a zither on his back. Fu Ziyan happened to recognize that the man was the zither player who sang with Yutang in Chunyi Tower... To be specific, he was not a zither player but a student.

"Zhilin, why did you go to work as a musician in a brothel?"

"Haha, why would anyone marry a slave to Butcher Zhang?

Young people are not polite at all when speaking, especially in front of those who are good at studying and work hard.

Fu Ziyan frowned slightly. Although the identity of this young man was a little... after all, he had just helped their family out of trouble, so he had to be protected.

He was about to speak, but Na Zhilin spoke up instead. "Yes, I became a musician. Well, it's nothing. Laborers are the most glorious."

"What do you mean by 'glorious mouth'? What does it mean?" Is it what was said before that only reading is the best? Fu Ziyan thought that the other teenagers were also attracted by this and were talking about how labor is the most glorious.

The moon was full and the carriage was swaying along the road. Little Taohong was holding a rabbit lantern in her hand, jumping and humming the Water Melody that she had just learned from Chun Yutang. Apart from the singing of others, the one sung by Yutang and Zhilin was the most special, so she learned it after listening to it several times.

Liu Ziheng said with a proud look on his face, "I guess after this, no one like Mr. Lin will say that you bought your poems. Brother Yingzi, your reputation has spread throughout the entire Mo City."

Yingge said, "You are just a talent. You need to be a great person. You still need to read more books."

Liu Ziheng said, "Yes, learning is a journey of hardship, but you can still relax for a while."

Xiao Taohong handed Yingge a piece of cake at the right time and said, "Here, Master, have some."

Yingge stroked her head, reached out to take it and took a bite. Chun Yutang’s pastry was sour and sweet.

"Is this going to be easy? No, it's not enough. This is just the beginning."

Meanwhile, in Yi Garden, Zhang Zhe and Liao Chengyi also returned and sat down. Liao Chengyi had been busy for half the night and looked a little tired. "Socializing is the most tiring..." Although they were in such a high position, it seemed that those people were even more tired than them. He yawned and said, "Master Zhang, this Mo City is quite interesting. See if they have any problems."

Zhang Zhe raised his hand and stroked his chin. Instead of answering his question directly, he called his followers.

A man heard being called and walked quickly.

Zhang Zhe said, "Come on, tell me everything you know."

The attendant first said that the discord between the Chen family and the Fu family had been going on for a long time, then narrated the origin of Yingge and how he was the son-in-law of the Liu family, and then talked about the poems Yingge wrote on Dragon Boat Festival and the bet between the Chen family and Fu Zijing's ancient flute poetry society, and mentioned Lin Xiucai's request at that time, and that Yingge did not write a poem at that time, and so on.

After hearing this, Liao Cheng lost all his sleepiness.

"So, Yingge made another bet with Young Master Chen, and the young men finally couldn't accept it and started fighting?" He laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting, I just like to watch young men fighting..."

The attendant said, "When these young men started fighting, Yingge was the most seriously injured. The Liu family and the Chen family were almost on the verge of fighting. This time, the Fu family also supported them and stood on the side of the Liu family, which led to the August 15th poetry meeting..."

Liao Chengyi thought about what had just happened at the Chen family. Prefect Liang was also standing on the Fu family's side. "Why are you so excited? Oh, the Chen family's expressions at that time, hahaha..."

Zhang Zhe said, "What is this? What a mess." But you can tell what happened to these people tonight just by looking at their behavior.

Liao Chengyi said, "Look, we have been investigating for so long, but what have we found out? Is Lord Lu's matter related to them?"

Zhang Zhe's eyes were filled with coldness. "Humph, they don't have the guts yet."

Liao Chengyi said, "They don't have the guts to assassinate, but do they have the guts to hide someone?"

"What you said is not something that can be seen."

"Well, we still need to find out the cause of Lord Lu's death. Was it revenge by the descendants of the Nian family, or... someone else?"

They didn't say who this person was, but Zhang Zhe's eyes darkened, "Tell me, if it was really them, then why did they attack Lord Lu?"

"This is why we came here. Could it be that Lord Lu found out something?" He looked at the dark night outside, and the city of Mo was gradually getting quiet. "Let's check these selected women."

On the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the academy reopened. Yingge, who had just walked into the academy in the early morning, was instantly surrounded by students.

"Master Yingzi, you are amazing. What kind of books do you usually read?"

"What poems do you like most?"

Everyone, acquaintance or not, greeted him warmly, and he answered every question without being fussy, as humble and polite as always.

The gatekeeper no longer had the disdain and suspicion he had before.

"She really wrote such great poems." The doormen murmured to themselves. This was an affirmation, not a question.

Mr. Zichun got those poems as early as the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people came to congratulate him, saying that he taught well and that a great talent would appear under his name. He was confused. The county examination had not yet started, so why did they congratulate him? Later, he found out that Yingge had published another poem.

The "Song of Water Melody" was already enough to astound everyone, but unexpectedly in such a short period of time, two more masterpieces appeared, and both were related to the moon. This is truly a great talent.
