The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

Shi Lu was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a piano not far away. He originally wanted to ask Yuan Shu about Shi Xiao, but he lost the best opportunity.

Not far away, a melodious piano sound came from the cherry blossom forest. It was "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

It can be seen that this performer has a very high level, his playing techniques are varied and his understanding of the music is unique.

Yuan Shu had heard this song many times and had heard many people play it. Even the most distinguished musician in the palace came to Yuan Shu's house to play it because it was her favorite song. She was also rewarded by the emperor, which shows how much the royal family valued Yuan Shu.

The version of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" played by this player was different from all the versions of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" that Yuan Shu had heard. It was more sad, but also had a hint of heroism. The disappointment and helplessness in the piano sound were all revealed by this performer.

Yuan Shu was very curious about what kind of person could reveal such complex emotions. This feeling was full of haggardness, as if the person's heart had been shattered, but was carefully pieced together again, trying to bloom in the sun.

Yuan Shu thought that the person who could play each piece of music so beautifully must be a white-haired old man.

She couldn't help but stand up and look towards the source of the piano sound, hoping to see the pianist in the distance.

When Lu saw Yuan Shu walking towards the direction where the piano sound came from, he followed behind her to protect her.

Shi Yi and Shi Bin, who were playing nearby, stopped even though they didn't understand the music. After looking at each other, they walked towards the performer curiously.

The two walked into the depths of the cherry blossom forest, and under a lush cherry blossom tree, sat a young man.

He was wearing a beige collared shirt and light grey loose trousers, and he sat there quietly.

On his knees was a guzheng about 1.6 meters long. The melodious sound of the zither flowed from his fingertips and echoed with every vibration of the strings.

His short brown-black hair reflected a dazzling golden color under the light. The sunlight filtered through his bangs, casting shadows on his fair face, covering his tightly closed eyes and intertwining with his long eyelashes. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, with a fragile beauty.

Yuan Shu didn't want to disturb him, so he stopped at a distance and looked at his slender fingers holding the piano.

Shi Yi and others also stopped beside Yuan Shu.

When the song ended, the man opened his slender hands and gently placed them on the strings, covering up the last trembling note, but the song seemed to still echo in the mountains and forests.

After Yuan Shu closed his eyes, he felt as if two phoenixes were circling above the forest, unwilling to leave.

After a long while, Yuan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

Coincidentally, she and that man opened their eyes at the same time. When their eyes met, a gust of wind blew, and flower petals fell from the sky. Two pairs of equally calm eyes revealed joy, with thousands of emotions mixed in their eyes. Then, the two smiled at each other.

Yuan Shu didn't stay any longer and stood up and returned to his seat.

Yuan Shu sat on the picnic mat, took a sip of coffee, and recalled the previous melody.

Shi Lu stayed beside her without saying anything. He could tell that Yuan Shu resonated deeply with the song, so he didn't want to disturb her.

The park became lively again only when Shi Yi and Shi Bin returned.

Shi Yi came to Yuan Shu and said excitedly: "That person plays the piano really well. I used to go to the concert hall to listen to great musicians. To be honest, I think other musicians are not as good as that person!"

Shi Bin retorted: "Are you praising him for his good looks or for his ability to play the piano?"

Shi Yi slapped Shi Bin on the back of his head. "What nonsense are you talking about! Although that guy is good-looking, didn't you notice the guzheng he played? The length of a normal guzheng is about 1.2 meters, but his guzheng is 1.62 meters long and has no harp bones! Isn't that professional enough?"

"Oh..." Shi Bin hugged his head and answered with a wronged look on his face.

Yuan Shu listened quietly and felt that it was indeed an unexpected surprise to hear such a song today.

At around four or five in the afternoon, the temperature dropped slightly and everyone got up and prepared to go back.

Wu Yan was packing her things while Yuan Shu was standing under a tree waiting. Then they saw the young man playing the zither, holding up a zither that was more than one meter tall, and slowly walking towards them.

The piano is very big, but it doesn't look bulky at all when carried on his back. In short, it suits him very well.

He walked straight up to Yuan Shu and said, "Miss, your earring fell off."

His voice was soft and cool, without a hint of aggression, but warm and gentle, completely different from the guzheng tune he played.

He raised his hand towards Yuan Shu and opened his palm. In his slender white palm lay Yuan Shu's square diamond earring.

Yuan Shu raised his hand and touched his ear. It seemed that his earring had fallen off when he was listening to him playing the piano just now. He actually noticed such a small thing falling in the grass. It seems that he has a strong sense of observation.

When Yuan Shu reached out to take the earring, she tried her best to avoid touching him, but the earring was too small and her fingertips still brushed against his palm.

His palm trembled subconsciously, and then he said: "My name is Mu Zhou, what is your name, young lady?"

Yuan Shu was stunned. It had been a long time since she heard someone call her "Miss". It had also been a long time since she heard someone speak in such an ancient tone.

Yuan Shu took the earrings but did not put them on immediately. She did not answer his question but asked, "How do you spell your name?"

"Mu Zhou."

A gust of wind blew from the east, the branches swayed, Yuan Shu's hair became messy, and Mu Zhou's bangs swayed in the wind, giving people a mysterious feeling.

Suddenly, Mu Zhou raised his hand and slapped Yuan Shu on the forehead. Shi Lu, who was standing on Yuan Shu's left, turned around and stood in front of Yuan Shu to protect her.

Yuan Shu didn't move.

Mu Zhou stopped at Yuan Shu's right shoulder, close to her right earlobe, and then picked up a cherry blossom that was falling in the wind. Shi Lu on the left was still frozen there.

The scene is very strange.

Yuan Shu tilted his head slightly and looked at his slender hands. He felt that such slender hands were meant to be used for playing the piano.

When Mu Zhou withdrew his hand, the cherry blossom was still in his palm.

Shi Lu also stood back to his original position, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Shu smiled, even the cherry blossoms were eclipsed, "What a good name."

Mu Zhou did not ask Yuan Shu's name again. He just nodded politely, smiled at Yuan Shu, and then turned and left.

Yuan Shu looked at his back, and a familiar feeling of melancholy welled up in his heart.

Shi Yi waited until he was far away before coming over and standing on the other side of Yuan Shu. Then she said, "Have you noticed that although his clothes are made of cotton, there is silk mixed in the cotton thread?"

Shi Bin knew that Shi Yi had something to say about the fabric, so he asked, "So what if it's made of silk?"

Shi Yi said proudly: "After mixing in silk, the clothes will be more breathable and have a better cooling effect, so you won't feel hot when wearing them in summer. However, the process of adding silk will be more complicated and the cost will be higher. Yushu Buyi Company produces this kind of fabric. Mu Zhou might be a rich young master who returned from studying abroad."

As they were talking, Wu Yan had already packed her things and followed everyone to the parking lot.

Shi Yi was still thinking, "Whose family do you think he is from? Why haven't I heard of any young master who can play so well?"

Shi Lu also started to tease her, "Why? Are you interested in him? Do you want to seduce him to be your boyfriend?"

Shi Yi glared at him and sneered, "No way! I don't like this type. I like cheerful men! Look at him, he's so skinny, does he have any muscles?"

Shi Lu didn't answer, he just flicked Shi Yi's forehead and ran away. Shi Yi chased after him.

Yuan Shu's face was full of smiles. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but when she heard his name, she felt a sense of loss and melancholy.
