Chapter 192 Old Lover! (Part 1)
Afterwards, Tang Yin suggested that they go boating on the West Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Old Man Tang and thought to himself, if you want to go on a pleasure boat, just say so. What's the point of going boating on the West Lake? You're being so elegant, but you're really dirty inside.
Tang Yin waved his hand, and immediately two guards came trotting over. Jiang Chengfeng was secretly surprised. These guards had been hiding in the dark. He guessed that they were the people arranged by the emperor to protect Tang Yin!
Tang Yin whispered a few words to the two guards, who nodded and left.
After walking for a distance, Tang Yin saw Shen Ruoyan standing under a tree not far ahead and said, "It seems that Miss Shen is still worried about you, Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chengfeng grinned and said, "She's not worried about me, she's worried about me being ruined by that beautiful brothel girl!"
Tang Yin laughed heartily. Chatting with Brother Jiang was quite interesting!
Shen Ruoyan had sharp ears, so she naturally overheard the conversation between the two. When the two approached, Shen Ruoyan bowed and said apologetically, "Master Tang, please don't bother with Jiang Dazhu! This guy always likes to talk nonsense!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and wondered if this counts as an excuse for me!
Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, you are worrying too much! Although Brother Jiang and I are more than 20 years apart in age, our temperaments are similar! Chatting with Brother Jiang is so much fun!"
After a pause, he continued, "Just now, I invited Brother Jiang to visit West Lake together. If Miss is not with you, let's go together!"
Shen Ruoyan thought about it and agreed.
Jiang Chengfeng secretly glanced at Miss Shen, thinking, didn't you say you still had a lot of things to do? How did you have time to go boating ? We two grown men are going to visit brothels, what are you, a woman, doing?
In less than a cup of tea, the guards who had just left found a black-sailed boat and took the three of them onto the pleasure boat in the lake.
This pleasure boat was decorated in a simple and elegant manner, and was spacious and bright, without the frivolous atmosphere of other pleasure boats. Tang Yin and others were very satisfied with it.
Arriving at the main hall of the pleasure boat, I saw a beautiful middle-aged woman, about 40 years old, with gray hair at the temples but a refined temperament, kneeling on a brocade cushion. In front of her was a table , on which was placed a guqin.
Just when Jiang Chengfeng was wondering about the identity of this middle-aged beauty, he saw Tang Yin's eyes reddened and he walked up quickly, "Yueqing, Yueqing, I finally found you!"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned. Old Man Tang was so excited. Could it be that this middle-aged beauty was his old lover?
The middle-aged beauty's expression was still as calm as water. She stood up, bowed, and said softly, "I am Su Yueqing, your humble daughter. I am honored to meet you, Master Tang!"
This beautiful middle-aged woman claimed to be a commoner, but she addressed Tang Yin as "Young Master". This was very strange, but Tang Yin obviously didn't care.
"She is Su Yueqing? She is actually Su Yueqing!" Shen Ruoyan exclaimed, "She is the famous actress Su Yueqing from Huazhou!"
"Miss, you are joking! The previous Su Yueqing is long dead--" Although this was said in response to Shen Ruoyan, Su Yueqing's eyes were always fixed on Tang Yin, her eyes were full of resentment, and tears flashed in them.
Jiang Chengfeng approached Shen Ruoyan and whispered, "Miss, do you know Su Yueqing?"
"You often visit brothels! You don't even know this!" Shen Ruoyan was stunned, and then she found it funny. Su Yueqing has been a famous figure in Jiangnan for twenty years. How many dignitaries have been trying to see her but were unable to do so, but you don't know?
Afterwards, Shen Ruoyan briefly recounted the origins of Su Yueqing. It turned out that Su Yueqing was a famous actress in Jiangnan more than 20 years ago, who was good at music and opera. Later, Tang Yin visited West Lake and fell in love with Su Yueqing. Their love story has been circulating for more than ten years!
I was stunned. I didn’t expect that old man Tang had such a love story when he was young. I really didn’t expect it!
"However, soon, Mr. Bo Hu went north to serve as an official, and he has not been back for a long time! In order to commemorate Mr. Bo Hu, Su Yueqing sealed the Suqin, closed the door and refused to see anyone! She also said that if Mr. Bo Hu did not come to pick her up, she would never play the qin again, and would not take care of her hair and grow old from then on!"
At this point, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but sigh. If a woman swore such a poisonous oath, how much courage would it take! Just looking at the gray hair on Su Yueqing's temples at this time, you can tell that she really kept her promise!
"Mr. Bo Hu left for 28 years. Later, he settled down in Beijing and started a family. His wife was also a good wife and mother. After hearing about the twists and turns, she asked Mr. Bo Hu to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person and invite Sister Su to the capital. But Su Yueqing was unwilling to do so. She just slipped a note to Mr. Bo Hu through the door - I miss you so much, and I hope you do the same!"
After saying this, Shen Ruoyan looked at Jiang Chengfeng meaningfully.
Jiang Chengfeng finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this Lord Tang was actually a Chen Shimei! However, his wife was very generous and actually took the initiative to let her husband take a concubine! But he didn't expect that Su Yueqing was a loyal fan of monogamy and insisted that Tang Yin only marry her.
However, Su Yueqing's family background is not good after all. It's very difficult to let Lord Tang marry you as his legal wife, and you alone?
"Poor Miss Su has been waiting for twenty-eight years, and now her beauty has grown old, but she still hasn't fulfilled her wish. How pitiful!" Shen Ruoyan's eyes were red, she glanced at , and murmured to herself.
Jiang Chengfeng was shocked. What was that look in this girl's eyes? Could it be that she also believed in monogamy?
However, Jiang Chengfeng, a male chauvinist, couldn't help but be moved by Su Yueqing's love and waiting. There is such an infatuated woman in the world. She is like a panda in the future!
"Yueqing, I didn't expect that twenty-eight years have passed and you are still as beautiful as you were twenty-eight years ago!" Tang Yin looked at Su Yueqing affectionately. Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but be shocked by the cheesy love words. He thought to himself, I didn't expect that this old man Tang's way of coaxing women is comparable to mine. I admire him!
"It has been twenty-eight years. Young Master Tang can come again. Yue Qing can finally play the zither for him again and comb his hair again!"
After saying this, it seemed as if all the strength in Su Yueqing's body had been drained away. She staggered and fell to the ground. When she supported herself on the table with both hands, tears were streaming down her face. Tang Yin also choked with sobs, supporting Su Yueqing, and remained silent for a long time.
When two old lovers met, Jiang Chengfeng always felt like a 300-watt light bulb. He wanted to pull Shen Ruoyan away, but found that Shen Ruoyan was also crying loudly, even more fiercely than Su Yueqing!
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly shocked, thinking that this girl might also be a fan of romance dramas? After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng whispered, "Miss, let's not delay the old couple's date, right?"
