ore palatable than tree bark. Good, there's money you can't buy rice!"Li Chen released the Ninth Prince, who was frozen with fear. He walked to Jiang Zhou's side, finished speaking, and then kicked hi...Chapter 230: Embarrassment

"Is it you!"

When Li Chen saw Hou Yushu, Hou Yushu also saw Li Chen.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Hou Yushu chuckled softly and bowed to Li Chen, saying, "Sir, it seems we meet again."

"Your Highness, this person recently became a disciple of Mr. Mirror and is his most favored student."

"And Mr. Jing and Duan Jiang had a close relationship. He seemed to have received a recommendation from Mr. Jing and had some dealings with Duan Jiang."

For Sibaoshan, there is very little in the capital that could escape his notice, let alone something concerning key figures.

It can be said that everything related to important people and events was memorized by Sandaobao.

Hou Yushu's level is naturally not enough. The reason he was remembered by Sandaobao is because of Duan Jinjiang.

And among the scholars of Confucianism, Master Jing was highly renowned, and he was also one of the key targets under surveillance by the Dongchang.

Hou Yushu had relationships with two people at the same time, naturally being remembered by Sanbao.

Li Chen remained impassive, glanced at the plaque above the main gate of the Great General's Mansion, and said, "You're looking for Jin Pa"

Hou Yushu's expression flashed with a hint of pride as he said, "A month ago, I borrowed a copy of 'Notes from the Mountain Dweller' from Miss Su. Today happens to be the agreed-upon day for its return. Moreover, I have acquired a unique score of 'High Mountain and Flowing Water' from my teacher. It is the only copy in existence, and Miss Su loves the qin and collects rare books like this, so I specially brought it."

"The only existing copy of 'High Mountain Flowing Water' Is it very valuable" Li Chen wasn't familiar with music theory, and he had no idea about things like sheet music. He asked with some confusion.

When Hou Yushū heard this, the smugness in his eyes deepened. However, he put on an air of nonchalance and said, "The world-renowned masterpiece 'High Mountain Flowing Water' created by Bo Ya and Zǐqí is revered as a classic by all musicians. Fifty years ago, Master Wú Chēnmèng, who had passed away, once said, 'If one attains enlightenment in the morning, they can die contentedly at night. This enlightenment lies in 'High Mountain Flowing Water.'"

The corners of Hou Yushu's mouth twitched slightly upwards as he said, "Of course, for those who love this path, it is a rare treasure. But for those who don't like it, it's just an old, incomprehensible score. Although this thing is precious, it also needs to meet the right person. For example, if we put it with me and my teacher, it would be a waste."

Li Chen didn't even hear the second half of what he said. He turned his head to Sanbao and said, "I remember there is a qin in the private treasury named Green Jade"

"The Three Treasures hurried to say respectfully, 'Indeed there is a green jade qin. It belonged to Sima Xiangru in the past and is known as one of the Four Great Famous Qins. This object was most beloved by Emperor Hui of the previous dynasty, but after Taizu conquered the world, it has always belonged to the Qin Dynasty.'"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Go get it."

Such a treasure, left gathering dust in the storeroom would be a shame. As Master Hou said, it would be a blessing for someone who loves this art to possess it. But if it fell into the hands of someone like me, an ordinary person, it would just be a wooden frame.

Li Chen looked at Hou Yushu, smiling and said, "Young Master Hou, is that so"

Hou Yushu's face turned dark.

Although the Guqin sheet music of "High Mountain and Flowing Water" is rare, there are many translations passed down through the ages. Even if it's a treasure, compared to the Green Jade, one of the four famous qins that has been passed down since ancient times, it's nothing.

Just now how proud I was, now Hou Yushu is this embarrassed.

When he was awkwardly at a loss for words, with a creak, the door of the General's Mansion opened.

A head poked out from within, it was Su Jinpa's trusted maid, named Cui Zhu.

At first, the girl hadn't seen Li Chen. She just said to Hou Yushu crisply: "Master Hou, my young mistress says it's inconvenient for her to meet you. You give me the *Notes of a Mountain Man*, and I'll pass it on to my mistress." only a crown prince, now conducts himself and thinks like a true emperor.' "Chen Tong gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask the factory master, should we go to the best place right now"Sān Bǎo said...
