A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Why doesn't Brother Yan Dan want me to go out and interact with others? Now I just play the piano in the teahouse and do nothing else, so why not?"

Seeing that there was hope, the store owner hurriedly agreed.

"Yes, yes, it's just playing the piano. I'm in a serious business and I will never have any other intentions. Although I saw that the girl is young, she plays the pipa with such proficiency that it makes people forget to leave. The guests who listened to me in the morning, Then he asked me which family's girl had such superb skills, so I came boldly to ask for a visit."

The store owner knew that the Crown Prince of Yan was unwilling, so he quickly explained

"This is not about playing the piano all day long. You only need to play the piano every morning or afternoon. It's up to the girl to play for as long as she wants. If the girl is willing to come to my teahouse, the little shop will be full of glory. , I will definitely take good care of her and never let anyone bully her."

"You can't guarantee it. This morning was the best example. The singer was being made things difficult for, but the old gentleman couldn't do anything about it."

Yan Dan, who was originally gentle, now had a dark face and looked really angry. He took Shimi's hand and said to the shopkeeper again

"Old sir, no matter which girl you choose to go to the teahouse, it's none of my business. But my sister can't do it. She can't do such a public job. You'd better hire someone else."

Before Shimi could object to Yan Dan's words or wait for the store owner to plead again, Yan Dan closed the door mercilessly. For the first time, Shimi saw Yan Dan's angry look.

The two of them stood in the courtyard, neither of them speaking. Yan Dan didn't speak, but he didn't show any tenderness. He just had a stern face, which looked quite scary.

He held Shimi's hand a little tight. Although Shimi was in pain, she didn't dare to speak. She glanced at the wet nurse Li Niang standing beside her, and saw Li Niang shaking her head at her, signaling her not to go against her will again. .

"Brother Yan Dan."

Shikiya shouted tentatively.

After a long time, Yan Dan came back to his senses and saw a smile on his gloomy face, but the smile was extremely forced.

"But are you angry?"

Shimi has never seen him so serious. The two of them get along day and night. Yan Dan is always smiling and elegant, but the Yan Dan in front of him is really scary.

"From now on... don't mention what happened today again. How can I bear it if you are asked to make a living by singing everywhere like those singers? There is no shortage of money or food at home. You don't have to worry about these things. Although I As a pledge, the State of Yan still sends silver coins from time to time for daily expenses, so having one more of you is really insignificant."

Yan Dan saw that Shimi was a little frightened by his angry look, and comforted him softly.

"Ah Zheng has entrusted you to me. I will do my best to take good care of you this year. How can I let you worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Yes……"

Shimi nodded timidly, not daring to refute any more. Seeing her obedience, Yan Dan smiled in relief.

"Then you stay at home in the afternoon, and I'll go in and read."

When Yan Dan returned to the house and only Shimi and Liniang were left in the courtyard, Shimi asked

"Brother Yan Dan, are you in a bad mood recently?"

Li Niang's face was filled with sadness at this moment, and she spoke slowly

"Young lady, you don't know something. Ever since Prince Zhao Zheng of the Qin Kingdom returned, my prince has been feeling depressed."

"Is this the case these days?"

Shimiya was very surprised. He had never noticed this since Ying Zheng left. On ordinary days, Yan Dan was always smiling and gentle like the brother next door. Who would have guessed that he was covering up his sadness with a smile.

"Yes……"

Li Niang sighed deeply

"The prince has been in the State of Zhao for more than ten years, but the day of returning to the State of Yan is still far away. Last month, he wrote to the State of Yan, asking when someone would be sent to pick him up, but there was no response. Now... Zhao is accompanying him. Zhengdu has gone back, and Prince Yan must feel uncomfortable."

Yes, how could he feel better?

At this moment, Shimi is very upset. He has never cared about Yan Dan's thoughts. Now there is only one friend left who used to be with him. He sees that Ying Zheng has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and has a promising future, but he is still stuck in the quagmire. Yan Dan never mentioned the painful things.

He kindly took her in, provided her with food and clothing, and cared about her so much, but he had never cared about Yan Dan once.

This made Shimi fall into deep self-blame.

Just when Shimi wanted to comfort Yan Dan, Liniang held him back.

"The prince has a strong self-esteem. Don't bother him. Tell him to be quiet for a moment. Since the prince has already said that he will not let you go out to look for a job, please stop obsessing."

Shikiya had no choice but to stop his steps.

Until it got dark and it was already dinner time, Yan Dan didn't come out of the house.

"The prince is rarely like this. It seems that he is indeed a little angry today."

Liniang has been with Yan Dan since he was born, so she naturally understands his temperament.

Seeing that the lights in his house were brightly lit, but no one was seen yet, this made Shimiya worried.

"Give me the meal and I will bring it in for the prince."

Shimi brought the food and knocked on Yan Dan's door.

"Brother Yan Dan, are you asleep?"

She asked softly at the door, and waited for a moment before hearing the response.

"You come in."

His tone was gentle, and he didn't sound like he was still angry.

When he opened the door, he saw Yan Dan reading a book under the candlelight with a calm expression. Seeing Shimi come in, he smiled and asked

"what happened?"

"It's meal time, but you haven't been seen yet, so I brought the meal."

Shimi put the dinner plate in front of Yan Dan and felt a little relieved when he saw him smiling.

"Are you still angry about what happened today?"

Yan Dan saw that she was here to care about him, so how could he be angry again? He put down the bamboo slips with a smile and said softly

"I know you are bored without A Zheng around. It's not that I can't understand your desire to make money, but... I'm asking you to sell your appearance to make money like those singers, and I really can't let go..."

"Since I came to Zhao State, Brother Yan Dan has always taken good care of me..."

Shimi smiled and sat in front of him

"More than Ying Zheng, you are so considerate as a family member. I am really touched and respect you very much."

She smiled, although her expression was light, but Yan Dan could tell that what she said was sincere.

"I have no other relatives in this era. Now that Ying Zheng is no longer with me, I can only rely on brother Yan Dan for my life. I know that you are all thinking about me and my good... But, I I can't stay at home all day long, like all ladies do, waiting all day for Ying Zheng to come and take me back."

She took Yan Dan's hand and begged again

"I don't just want to have fun, I also know that Brother Yan Dan is worthy of the few taels of silver I earned, but I... don't want to be a person who knows nothing, even if that's what you said, disrespected by others I'm a singer, but I didn't do anything harmful to God, and I will definitely take care of myself."
