Chapter 220: Remembering the Old Friends at Night

Jiang Tang hadn't finished eating the honey chicken wings in his mouth yet, but his other hand had already reached into the basin, which contained skewers of roasted cumin lamb.

"Sister A Ruo, I'm glad I stayed tonight. How come you guys are so good at cooking? If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much at the banquet."

"I just thought fried chicken and cola were the most delicious food in the world, but I didn't expect this barbecue to taste so good. Should we grill again tomorrow?"

Jiang Tang held the lamb skewers with shining eyes. Even before the night was over, he began to look forward to tomorrow's arrangements.

Qin Ruo smiled slightly: "If you want to eat it, I'll ask Banxia to roast some for you tomorrow."

"Okay, okay. Thank you, Sister A Ruo." After getting Qin Ruo's reply, Jiang Tang was finally satisfied.

Not long after, Banxia and Chuntao came out of the kitchen, each carrying a large bowl of fried chicken.

Yi Qiu and Xun Dong held the washed and cut fruits, and with smiles on their faces, invited everyone present to come and eat.

Qingsheng followed closely behind, carrying a large bucket of freshly made iced cola, and shouted to the crowd with a smile:

"Dear guests, fried chicken and Coke are here."

Everyone present responded and stood up to take the things.

"Brother Qingsheng, thank you for your hard work. Come here and have two skewers of barbecue first." Qin Ziwang enthusiastically handed Qingsheng two skewers of barbecue.

During the time he was at Xunyu Ji, Qingsheng took good care of him, and the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.

"Thank you, brother Ziwang. We are all family. No need to be polite." Qingsheng took the barbecue with a smile. After eating, he started to distribute Coke to everyone.

"Qingsheng, you've been busy all night. You should take a rest." Qin Ruo shouted to Qingsheng.

Qingsheng was the first person to follow Qin Ruo, and he never complained no matter how hard or tiring the life was.

He is loyal and capable, and Qin Ruo treats him differently from others.

"Okay, thank you, master." Qingsheng responded with a smile, but his hands did not stop moving.

Tonight, most of the people present were eating fried chicken, drinking Coke, and eating skewers for the first time.

Everyone had a smile on their face, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, and the yard was filled with laughter.

The Qin family was no longer as reserved as before. Qin Ruo simply asked a few questions about their recent situation, and the conversation became much more fluent.

In such an occasion, Qin Tiaotiao's conspicuous bag is naturally missing.

He performed an impromptu magic trick, which stunned everyone and won rounds of applause.

Even Qin Zimu and Zhou Erzhu were pushed out and performed a sword dance.

As the night deepened, the residual warmth of the charcoal fire was still there. People had already left, and Jiang Tang was taken to the guest room by Xun Dong to rest.

Old Mrs. Qin was afraid that her presence would make these young people uncomfortable, so she did not participate.

Today is another wedding banquet for the Qin family. She has been busy all day and went to bed early.

Qin Ruo returned to her own courtyard and went up to the small attic with a terrace on the second floor.

By the window, several green bamboos are swaying in the wind, the moonlight is like water, and the bamboo shadows are dancing.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Qin Ruo somehow once again thought of her stern master.

Thinking of the past and her companions who had fought side by side with her, she suddenly became a little depressed.

After coming to the Dasheng Dynasty, I also met Si Heng, Xue Jing, Mr. Mingjing, Yun Niang, Jiang Tang... all of whom are friends worth making.

But some old friends who have always been in our hearts can never be replaced.

Qin Ruo lay on the bed, her mind full of memories. Even as the moon moved westward, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Qin Ruo simply stood up, and with a thought, she took out from the space the guqin that she used most often in her previous life, and sat on the ground facing the window.

She placed the piano on her knees and gently plucked the strings with her fingers.

As the overtones at the beginning sounded, a song "Remembering Old Friends" poured out from the fingertips.

The lingering and sad tune and the endless piano sounds echoed in the night sky like weeping and complaining.

The room where Qin Ziyan lived was separated from Qin Ruo's courtyard by a wall.

He also couldn't sleep tonight.

When he heard the sound of piano coming from the small attic next door, his heart was shocked. He got up, put on his clothes, opened the window, and looked towards the direction of Qin Ruo's attic.

The lights on the second floor of the small attic were still on, and the sound of the piano was particularly clear in the moonlight.

After Qin Ziyan entered Luming Academy, he also studied the Six Arts. He was familiar with the song "Remembering Old Friends" played by Qin Ruo.

Qin Ziyan thought again of the last time Shen Junxing came to Taihe County. When he mentioned Qin Ruo, he frowned and looked like he was doing a favor. He seemed to see the arrogant and ignorant self he used to be.

Qin Ziyan listened to the music of the piano and stared in the direction of the small attic in a daze.

The fact that he ranked first in the Intermediate Court exam did not bring him much joy.

After Ganzhou and Qin Ruo went to the temple and paid homage to the tablet that had no name engraved on it, he felt heavy-hearted.

Even if Qin Ruo didn't say it explicitly, he knew very well who the tablet was for.

After coming out, Qin Ruo just said one sentence at that time, all the past is just a prologue.

There was some consolation in those words, but he seemed to find it difficult to make peace with his past self.

Except for the time when Old Lady Qin was seriously ill, he dreamed of his elder sister Qin Qiuxi once, and he has never dreamed of her again since then.

Sometimes, he would look at Qin Ruo's familiar face, but her personality which was completely different from his sister's, and he would always feel a little dazed.

He knew that Qin Ruo didn't plan to stay in Taihe County for too long this time.

Even in Ganzhou, Qin Ruo will not stay for too long. She is an eagle, destined to soar in the wider sky.

Xundong and Yiqiu were awakened from their sleep. Apparently, they also heard Qin Ruo's piano playing.

"Sister Xundong, did you hear the sound of piano playing? Is it our young lady playing the piano upstairs? Is our young lady unable to sleep? I have to go and see if there is anything I can help with."

Yi Qiu suddenly sat up, listened carefully for a while, then hurriedly got out of bed in the dark and turned on the light.

The last time they went to Ganzhou, it was she and Banxia who served their master, while Xundong and Chuntao stayed in Taihe County.

During the time he lived in Ganzhou, Yi Qiu had heard his master playing the piano before, but there was an indescribable heaviness in the sound of his master's piano tonight.

"I'm afraid our young lady has something on her mind. She's upstairs, and she'll call us if anything happens. Don't disturb her peace." Xun Dong tilted his head and listened carefully for a while, then stopped Yi Qiu softly.

Xundong is older than Yiqiu and the others. She is usually very meticulous and is most sensitive to her master's emotional changes.

After listening to Xundong's words, Yi Qiu gave up and lay back on the bed.

Si Heng, who had just arrived at his new home, sat in the house listening to the piano music coming from the Qin family, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

He studied music since he was young and was particularly sensitive to the sound of the piano. He was also a martial artist and had good hearing.

Although his newly built house was about ten meters away from the Qin family, he could still hear what was going on if he listened carefully.

The music of the piano, with a touch of sadness, "Remembering the Old Friends", kept echoing in his ears.

Remembering old friends?

Which old friend is she reminiscing about tonight?
