For the next few days, Song Qingshu lived like an immortal. At night, he checked Ren Yingying's body and did the deed of husband and wife in the name of healing. Ren Yingying was shy and didn't allow him to fool around, but she couldn't stand his coaxing and pestering. Moreover, thinking that they were husband and wife, she gave in to him.
During the day, Song Qingshu played the zither and flute with her. Because of the original work, Song Qingshu inevitably felt a little jealous and wanted to play the song "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" with Ren Yingying.
As the name suggested, the zither and flute ensemble was for one person to talk about love and the other to play the flute. However, thinking of the other meaning of playing the flute on the internet, Song Qingshu didn't want to play the flute, so he could only play the zither.
Originally, it was very difficult for Song Qingshu to play such a difficult song with a tone deaf musician. Fortunately, he had Zhao Min's foundation in Liao, which made Ren Yingying look at him in a new light.
At first, Ren Yingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard his request. However, after seeing his rapid improvement in zither skills, she couldn't help but be tempted. Which girl didn't want to play the zither with her lover?
Of course, with Song Qingshu's current zither skills, he couldn't play the "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" for the time being. However, with Ren Yingying, a zither master, and she was good at teaching, all the problems were naturally solved.
"When can I let Zhao Min and Ren Yingying compete? They are both zither masters." Song Qingshu practiced the zither while thinking, "Oh, Ah Jiu seems to be good at playing the zither … And Miao Ruolan, in the original work, was also a zither master. Bah bah bah, in this world, she is still a little Lolita … I don't know how the mother and daughter are doing recently …"
"Dong dong dong!" Ren Yingying reached out and knocked on the table, "You need to be calm when playing the zither. What nonsense are you thinking about?"
Song Qingshu was startled. Embarrassed, he suddenly asked curiously, "Can you hear what I'm thinking?" He had no doubt that a master of the zither could hear the restlessness in the zither player's music, but could they really tell what he was thinking?
Ren Yingying blushed and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "If you still think of other women while practicing, I won't teach you."
Song Qingshu was shocked. How could he tell?
Amidst the awkwardness, Lady Ruan's handmaiden called Pei 'er walked over, "Prince Song, Lady Song ~"
Song Qingshu asked, "What's the matter?"
Pearl softly replied, "The journey is long, and there aren't many places to entertain ourselves on this river. So my family's madam would like to invite you over for a chat. I don't know if Lady Song is free."
Ren Yingying was a little angry at Song Qingshu for letting his imagination run wild. She nodded and said, "Of course it's convenient. It just so happens that I haven't had the time to thank your Madam." She got up and was about to leave.
To the side, Song Qingshu furrowed his brows and said, "Just her?" Now that the two of them were in someone else's territory, it would be inappropriate to let Ren Yingying be alone.
Pearl pursed her lips and smiled, "Our family's madam is already married. It really isn't appropriate for her to frequently invite men into her room. I hope young master will forgive her."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but hold his breath. She used this as an excuse, making it hard for him to say anything. After all, the culture of the Southern Song Dynasty was rather harsh towards women.
"Don't worry. Before I met you, I was still roaming the Jianghu." Feeling his concern, Ren Yingying's expression couldn't help but soften.
Song Qingshu then remembered that no matter what, Ren Yingying was still the Saintess of the Sun Moon Sect. Her martial arts were top notch in the Jianghu, so he nodded and said, "Then be careful."
Ren Yingying didn't say anything. To the side, Pearl couldn't help but mutter, "Our madam is clearly delicate, but in the end, you guys made it seem like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den."
Song Qingshu was also a bit embarrassed. This was indeed a bit rude. Ren Yingying smiled slightly, "Lady Pearl, let's go."
The maidservant glared at Song QingShu before leading Ren Yingying away. Watching the two figures disappear around the corner, the smile on Song QingShu's face gradually disappeared. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Of course, it wasn't convenient for him to reject the other party's good intentions, but he could still make some preparations in secret.
Quietly concealing his tracks, he followed Ren Yingying to Madam Ruan's bedroom. His qinggong had long since reached the acme of perfection. Purposely concealing his tracks, how could the guards on the boat discover him?
Of course, he had no interest in actually breaking into the madam's boudoir. He only hid under the eaves outside the window. Even though there was a torrential river beneath his feet, he didn't care in the slightest. He pricked up his ears and carefully listened to the sounds in the room.
After listening for a while, he discovered that Madam Ruan and Yingying's conversation was only about the private matters of a girl. For example, what kind of rouge and face powder to use, as well as how to dress up and make up. After listening for a while, he didn't discover anything strange. Song Qingshu also felt that he was making a big fuss over a minor issue. No matter what, it was still broad daylight. If someone saw him hanging outside the madam's room, it wouldn't look good. So, he quietly left.
Of course, he didn't dare to go too far away. Instead, he went to a nearby deck. On one side, he was on guard against any sudden accidents. On the other side, he pretended to appreciate the scenery along the two sides of the river.
What entered his eyes was the original beauty of the mountains and rivers. Song Qingshu's mood also gradually relaxed. These past few years, on the surface, he seemed to have unlimited scenery. In reality, he was rushing around everywhere. There was almost no opportunity like now to calm down and leisurely enjoy the scenery.
Looking at Ezhou as he passed by, Song Qingshu thought that this was the location of Yue Fei's former headquarters. It was a pity that the hero had already passed away. He couldn't help but sigh endlessly.
Thinking of Yue Fei, he subconsciously thought of Xiao Long Nu and Li Qingluo. He didn't know if the information in the old notebook in Shui Sheng's house was useful. He didn't know if he could lead them to find Yue Fei's descendants …
In the next few days, Madam Ruan often looked for Ren Yingying to chat. At first, the two of them thought that the other party wanted to inquire about some information. But later, they discovered that the topics they talked about were just some ordinary life topics. They didn't touch upon any sensitive information. Gradually, they relaxed their vigilance and thought that they were overthinking.
Of course, from Song Qingshu's point of view, with his current level of cultivation, he could completely ignore any hidden risks.
On this day, Madam Ruan invited Ren Yingying over. Not long after, Pearl ran over and said that she wanted to change a room for the two of them. Song Qingshu couldn't help but frown, "We've been living well, why do we need to change a room?"
Pearl smiled and explained, "These past two days, our family's madam and your wife have been talking more and more agreeable. She feels that she has neglected the two of you before, so she ordered this servant to change a better room for the two of you."
Song Qingshu's heart was filled with doubt, but he couldn't resist the other's enthusiasm. He could only let her be. The new room was a bit far from the previous one, but the interior was indeed much more luxurious and spacious.
"Young master, please rest well. In a moment, we will have someone send the madam over." Pearl bowed and left.
