The pleasure boat began to move slowly along the river.

In the concert hall, Xue Wan'er took the stage amid cheers, holding the pipa and playing the famous song "Youlan Cao" restored by the famous scholars of Bian Jing for everyone.

The wonderful hand was teasing the pipa. The front part of the song was like an orchid in the valley, and the notes jumped out one by one, gradually putting people's emotions into the rhythm. Then the strings began to speed up, and the song became gentle and anxious, like crying and complaining. The expression of each listener in the venue became solidified.

It seems like listening to a poor woman telling her miserable life experience.

Make people shed tears.

After the performance, there was a sense of sorrow in the entire concert hall. Even if there were sober people, they were secretly praising the exquisiteness of the tune and Xue Wan'er's superb performance skills.

At this moment, a clear flute sound came from the shore like a strong light that penetrated layers of dark clouds, instantly pierced all the grievances in the pleasure boat.

"Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain~"

The seven syllables formed an extremely beautiful melody. Everyone in the boat was stunned and turned around and looked towards the shore.

On the stage, Xue Wan'er's pipa sound also stopped abruptly. The melody from the flute sound instantly touched the string with the highest tone deep in her heart. At this moment, her ears and hearts were filled with the melody of the flute, and she had long forgotten all the things she had done.

“What a wonderful tune!”

"I wonder who everyone was playing on the shore!"

In the cabin hall, everyone was amazed. They saw that on the shore not far away, people gathered in several layers inside and outside, surrounding the source of the flute sound, and people kept surrounding them.

All the cruise ships and pleasure boats on the Minjiang River also approached the source of the flute sound.

"Please ask Mr. Huang to order someone to dock the boat."

Xue Wan'er, regardless of her reserve, walked to Huang Wu and offered to her initiative. At this time, she had already listened to several flute melodies. The more she listened, the more she felt that each melodiously touched her heartstrings. It was so beautiful.

Her face was flushed and she vowed in her heart to see the performer no matter what, and to get the music score!

“Dang quickly!”

Huang Wu ordered the boatman to hurry up. He looked at Xue Wan'er earnestly and asked, "Miss Xue wants to ask for music score?"

“That’s right.”

"It's so inconvenient for Miss Xue to go out. I'll go down and invite the performer on board later."

After Huang Wu said that, Xue Wan'er thanked him for his blessings, which made Cheng Zhicai and others envious. Huang Wu felt a little relieved. After the boat docked, he bowed to Xue Wan'er and said proudly: "Don't worry, Miss Xue, even if you go through fire and water, you will definitely bring people to you!"

His words made everyone around him feel chills. Isn’t it just to invite someone? He said it as if he was a hero on the battlefield. It can be seen that Xue Wan'er looked at Huang Wu with emotion, and everyone was envious again.

…………

In the crowd, Du Ruo focused on playing the flute at Su Xiaomei, without knowing that there were already crowds of people around him. Sitting beside him, Su Xiaomei also held her face and looked at him with stars in her eyes. In this world, Su Xiaomei only had Du Ruo in her eyes.

Du Qing, the maid of the Su family and the onlookers, listened to Du Ruo playing the flute with enjoyment on his face. Of course, everyone would not make any sound, and even their breathing became lighter, for fear of disturbing the exquisite flute sound.

After the song was played, a commotion occurred in the crowd on the river. Huang Wu, with a bunch of plainclothes borrowed from the state yamen, forced apart the crowd and broke in.

"Why is it him?"

When Huang Wu saw that Du Ruo was playing the flute in the middle of the crowd, his face suddenly looked ugly. When the Cheng brothers were surprised, their faces were not good-looking.

Su Shi and Su Zhe, who followed him, were naturally very surprised, especially Su Shi, who couldn't help laughing: "My brother-in-law is really extraordinary!"

Du Ruo picked up the flute and rubbed it on the clothes, wiped the water vapor on the blowing hole, and gave it to Su Xiaomei. He just blinked at Su Shi and Su Zhe and did not look at Huang Wu and others at all.

The onlookers were still immersed in the music and were still unfulfilled, but Du Ruo made a gesture to leave.

"etc!"

Huang Wu called Du Ruo. He had already made a praising voice in front of Xue Wan'er. At this time, he had to grit his teeth and squeeze out a smile at Du Ruo, and bowed: "Brother Du's flute song is really exquisite and refreshing, and I admire him so much. Can you please go to the pleasure boat to gather? There are people who are proficient in music waiting to discuss with you."

Huang Wu looked forward to Du Ruo's promise to him with confidence when he looked at Xue Wan'er, after all, that was Xue Wan'er.

Du Ruo smiled like a playful smile and said, "Didn't you let me get on the boat just now? Why are you treating me again now?"

Huang Wu smiled awkwardly and bowed to Du Ruo: "I offended so much just now. If I get on the boat later, I will definitely punish myself for three cups."

"hehe."

Du Ruo looked back at Su Xiaomei and Du Qing, and suddenly stretched.

"It's so hot, Du Qing, take out the cloth shoes, I want to change the shoes."

As a book boy, Du Qing carried a bamboo bookcase with four treasures of the study and essentials for travel, including a pair of breathable cloth shoes.

Du Ruo wore nitro calfskin boots, which were often worn by noble men this season, but if you walk too much, you will inevitably cover your feet.

The onlookers were puzzled why Du Ruo suddenly changed his shoes, and even Su Xiaomei blinked in confusion.

On this side, Du Ruo stretched his feet towards Huang Wu and said lazyly: "It's so uncomfortable to wear boots. If someone can help me take off my boots, then I should forgive him if he messes with me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers burst into laughter.

"Young master is still that young man!"

"Danny!"

Then, people's eyes fell on Huang Wu, Su Xiaomei, Su Shi and Su Zhe laughed, and even Cheng Zhicai looked at him with no intention.

Huang Wu's face turned pale. He was angry and wanted to leave, but when he thought of his promise in front of Xue Wan'er, he gritted his teeth again.

"In order to ask the music score to help people take off their boots, Xue Xingshou will definitely thank you. Maybe we will meet you at your boudoir tonight."

Someone muttered in Huang Wu's ear. Huang Wu finally made up his mind and slowly leaned over with a difficult expression, hugged Du Ruo's boots with both hands: "It's just a simple task, haha."

"Hahaha~"

The crowd around burst into laughter, Du Ruo raised his eyebrows and looked at Huang Wu, thinking that this kid could bend and stretch.

Bang~

Huang Wu exerted his hands and took off Du Ruo's left boots. Suddenly, a smell of hot sauerkraut hit him in front of him. His face turned pale and he felt nauseous, but he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Sorry, I sweat a little too much today."

Du Ruo smiled faintly and then put his right foot in front of Huang Wu's face. Huang Wu's eyes felt disgusted, but he had to force his face to smile: "It's not a problem..."

Bang~

He took off his right boot again, Huang Wu opened his mouth and almost vomited.

"Hahaha!"

The crowd kept laughing, Huang Wu blushed. Seeing Du Qing put on Du Ruo's cloth shoes, he slowed down and said, "Brother Du, can you go with me now?"

"Where are you going?"

Huang Wu was so angry that he vomited blood. He said in a deep voice: "Go to the boat, don't you want to regret it in front of so many people?"

"I just said to forgive you for your rudeness to me just now, but I didn't agree to get on the boat?"

As soon as this said, Huang Wuxuan was about to get angry. Du Ruo looked around the crowd and asked, "Everyone's evidence, have I promised him to get on the boat?"

"No!"

Everyone said in unison.

Huang Wu's face was already ashen. Seeing this, Cheng Zhicai spoke and said, "Du Ruo, you..."

"Shut up! Are you talking?"

Du Ruo glanced at him sharply, and Cheng Zhicai's face suddenly turned embarrassed and speechless.

"snort!"

Su Xiaomei felt relieved and stepped forward to hold Du Ruo's hand.

Su Shi and Su Zhe, who had originally planned to persuade Du Ruo, also shrugged and said nothing.

"Dare you dare to fool me? Do you think I can't do anything to you?"

Huang Wu's face showed a ferocious face and said coldly: "Du Ruo, you have to go if you don't go today! Take it down for me if you come!"

Huang Wu was carrying twelve people behind him, eight of whom were the heads of the state and four servants. When the servants heard this, they naturally rolled up their sleeves and walked up to take them. Du Ruo was also scared, and Su Xiaomei even grabbed him tightly.

"Who dares to touch the magistrate?"

The leader shouted, and the rest of the heads instantly blocked the servants and protected Du Ruo.

Although they were transferred to serve as guards by the son of the "Deputy Mayor", they knew in their hearts who was the boss of Meizhou. The magistrate could indeed supervise the magistrate, but the magistrate had the final say in personnel appointments and removals, year-end bonuses, etc. How could they help Huang Wu deal with Du Ruo?

"you……"

Huang Wu was disgraced and pointed at the heads of Du angrily at this time, but he had no choice but to be helpless. He was so angry that he should have thought that he could not instruct the heads of Du ruo.

"Spicy chicken!"

Du Ruo glanced at Huang Wu with contempt and stood up to leave with Su Xiaomei.

"etc!"

At this time, a clear female voice sounded behind the crowd, and then Xue Wan'er, who was covered in veil, appeared accompanied by the maid.

She had just heard a burst of laughter on the boat and felt that something was wrong. She was afraid that Huang Wu would not be able to do anything, so she got off the boat. Just now, the crowd was all focused on Du Ruo and Huang Wu, but no one noticed her.

"Xue Xingshou!"

The onlookers exclaimed, and Huang Wu didn't know if Xue Wan'er had seen him make a fool of herself, so she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at her.
