078 Slap in the face
After listening to Xu Yue's answer, Xu Qian's extremely dark face turned back to an indifferent chuckle in an instant, and said in a somewhat joking tone: "Is it possible that Liu Niang can't remember a tune? ”
Xu Qian faintly felt that Xu Yu was unwilling to write the score in public because she was not confident in her handwriting.
After all, she didn't know a single word more than three months ago, even if she worked hard recently and followed her father to learn calligraphy, she wouldn't make much progress, at least she couldn't do it.
Mrs. Ye nodded after hearing this, and asked the maidservant to take the pen and ink and the bookcase.
Xu nodded slightly, and said, "It's ugly." After finishing speaking, he took the pen dipped in ink from the maidservant, sat upright, and wrote the score with a cup of tea.
The maidservant took the score to Mrs. Ye, and some people couldn't help but praise it when they saw the neat and powerful handwriting on the score. Old Madam Ye also nodded with satisfaction, and after reading it, she circulated it to everyone.
Seeing this situation, Xu Qian's eyes became flustered, and the hand holding the handle of the fan turned a little pale, and it took several patiences to settle down.
She didn't believe that the word promised had the level of praise from others, but when the score reached her, she slipped off the fan in her hand in shock, and the score almost landed.
If someone hadn't helped her, she would have almost lost her temper and broken the score.
Impossible, impossible! How could this be? How could a promise write such a powerful word on the back of a paper!
She has practiced diligently for many years, but she can't afford to promise to learn calligraphy for three months?
promised that he must have colluded with the maidservant of the Ye family, asked someone to write the score in advance, and then took advantage of the fact that everyone did not pay attention to the exchange, otherwise how could there be such a good word!
Xu Qian has been looking for a reason in her heart. Her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't know that others had taken the music sheet from her hand.
After that, a group of women began to compose lyrics, you and I said one sentence, and some people did it well. Some people are inferior, but they all have a bit of artistic conception.
promised to meet someone for the first time to compose lyrics on the spot, and it was fun to listen to. When it was about to be her turn, she felt a beam of eyes that seemed to be substantial, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Xu Qian looking at her earnestly.
She is familiar with this kind of gaze, and Xu Qian has this kind of encouraging and gentle look every time she expects her to make a fool of herself.
But she is the least afraid of such things as lyrics. In her previous life, primary and secondary schools memorized so many Tang and Song poems, she only needed to pick out the words from this period onwards.
Xu Promise looked at Xu Qian squarely, and recited a sentence from Li Qingzhao's dream-like order: "I returned to the boat at night and strayed into the depths of the lotus flower." ”
Xu Qian's eyes were soft, and her hands were folded. A look like a lady. was waiting for the promise to make a fool of himself, but as the pupils of the words slowly widened, his eyes first showed surprise, and then resentment. When the people next to her were talking, the love in her eyes swept away, and she was clear and gentle.
Xu Qian's expression changed, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Wang Muyu was the first to praise: "Good words." I didn't expect Liuniang to have such a good literary style, the sentence I recited earlier is very different from yours. ”
She followed her grandmother's teachings. Today, the promise is vigorously held high. This sentence is so true, but on weekdays, she will just read it a few more times in her heart, and she will not praise it like at this moment.
Xu Promise waved his hand and said: "I have been thinking about this sentence for several days, and it is not improvised. "The implication is that I'm not brilliant, I'm just diligent.
Several of the older ladies present nodded slightly when they saw that the promise was so modest. I thought that the rumors about the six mothers of the Xu family in the past were really fake, such a lady who knew how to advance and retreat. How can he be an unfilial and unrighteous person of a poisonous mother?
After everyone chanted, Xu Qian took a few steps forward. The short body saluted to Mrs. Ye and the Zhang family: "I just remembered the half of the remnants I got in the past, which is matching the bright lotus flowers in today's pool, if grandmother and old lady don't dislike it, I am willing to play it." ”
When she said this, how could Old Madam Ye not let her stroke the qin, and ordered someone to move back the qin she had just moved.
It's just that she refused to touch the piano because of a wrist injury before, and now she recommends herself, which is a little strange.
Xu Qian doesn't care, her purpose is to make Xu Promise ugly, only by comparing her superb piano skills with Promise's slightly clumsy piano skills, can she really step on Promise.
She walked to the piano with a light and graceful posture, and saluted everyone first: "My son is only a little familiar with the piano skills, and if there are flaws, I have not yet forgiven the ladies." ”
After finishing speaking, he sat down, his eyebrows and eyes showed a little coquettishness, and when his fingers touched the strings, the expression in his eyes changed, and he became as clear as a white lotus.
The piece that Xu Qian wants to play is indeed a precious remnant.
Lu Shi obtained this remnant song in Bianjing in the early years, and adjusted it many times to make up for the missing part, which was later given to her as Xu Qian's birthday gift.
Xu Qian played a few notes, and several older ladies in the pavilion all looked at the Lu family.
Lu Shi responded to everyone's gaze with a light smile, and looked at Xu Qian with a worried look in the back, for fear that she would say the wrong thing.
This piece was played in public by the Lu family when she married into the Xu family a few years ago, and it was this piece that everyone knew that she had exquisite piano skills, and several ladies present were present at the time.
After Xu Qian finished playing, Mrs. Ye said: "This song is indeed exquisite, and the part added later is not inferior to the original song." ”
Xu Qian bowed, hung her head and replied, "Old Madam Ye has won the prize." ”
The implication is that the remnants of the supplement are from her!
The faces of several insiders changed suddenly, and Lu's eyes also showed a little anxiety, thinking: Siniang's answer is so vague, the insiders must be suspected of deception and lying, and the image in the eyes of several ladies will be greatly reduced.
Just as he was about to explain, he noticed that the cuffs were being pulled, and he turned his head to see that it was a promise.
Xu Nuo shook his head slightly, not letting the Lu family wade into troubled waters. She didn't know what happened, but she was sure from everyone's reactions that Xu Qian had made a joke. If the Lu family wants to explain, it will only get darker and darker, and the best result after opening his mouth is to take the fault of this matter on himself, in exchange for Xu Qian's innocence, and such a result is what Xu Promise does not want to see.
When Lu Shi was about to speak again, Xu Qian had already straightened up and walked back.
Xu Qian hung her head before, missing the stunned, disdainful, and disdainful expressions on everyone's faces, so she maintained the previous noble temperament of "out of the mud without staining", thinking that her song surpassed the nameless song before Xu Promise in both composition and music.
Although I don't know why the ladies showed that kind of expression just now. But he would not let go of this opportunity, and gloated: "The fourth sister's piano skills are getting better and better." ”
"How can there be?" Xu Qian only said two words, and then heard Old Madam Ye's voice.
"Fifteen Lang, what's wrong?" Old Madam Ye's voice was full of love and concern.
Xu Yu turned around and saw two young men standing outside the pavilion. One of them is Xu Pingqi, and the other looks a few years older than Xu Pingqi. The whole body is full of the unique elegant temperament of the Ye family, although the appearance is ordinary, but the literary quality is polite, which makes people look extremely comfortable.
Could it be that this fifteen lang and Ye fifteen lang, who Xu Pingqi said yesterday who wanted to watch her tea hundred operas, are they the same person?
Xu Yu glanced at Chuntang, and Chuntang posted it over and whispered about the situation of Fifteen Lang.
Ye Shishilang, named Qingchen. The table word Daoqing, the year twelve.
He has not yet participated in the imperial examination, nor has he yet passed the crown, and he has no words. Xu Yu remembered the word Daoqing at the first moment after hearing Chuntang say his name, because he is also a famous and surnamed figure in history who is worth mentioning.
In my previous life, my grandfather loved tea. often said that it was written by Ye Qingchen.
But Xu Promise's understanding of Ye Qingchen was due to the fact that he and Song Jiao and Song Qi brothers became Jinshi in the same year.
In the imperial examination twelve years later, Song Jiao was the champion, Ye Qingchen was the third, and Song Qi was the tenth.
Xu Yu couldn't help but look at the young man outside the pavilion a few points, and secretly thought in his heart that the Ding family's school was really powerful, twenty years ago, there was a top three Ding Wei, and the fourth place Xu Gucheng. In the future, there will be another third-class Ye Qingchen.
I heard that since the end of the last pear blossom banquet, the Song Jiao brothers have also begun to study in the Ding family's school, if you count the two of them. So who is the Xixi invited by Dingfu, who can have such ability and help others on the list many times.
Ye Qingchen first gave a salute to everyone in the pavilion, and then said: "I don't know which lady in the pavilion played a wonderful song just now, and everyone in the racecourse was amazed, so they asked someone to come and ask for help." Can you make a copy of the score?"
"I don't know who wants the score, and who will tell the name and who will come. The lady with a lively temperament shouted.
"Ding Jia Shiro. Song Jialang, Xu Jiaerlang, and so. I want to read this score. Ye Qingchen bowed his hand and his attitude was very pious.
When Xu Qian heard that Ding Mo wanted to score a music, she immediately came to her senses, took two steps slightly, and could look at Ye Qingchen before she said softly: "It's just a composition, and it's also an honor for Siniang to appreciate it together." ”
Ye Qingchen nodded: "Thank you Xu Siniang." ”
After finishing speaking, the little maid carried the bookcase over, and then the maidservant carried it into the pavilion.
Xu Pingqi's gaze swept over Xu Qian, and then jumped over Lu Shi and Xu Promise, his lips opened and closed, and he said something to Ye Qingchen.
When Xu Qian was about to sit down to write the score, Ye Qingchen suddenly asked: "I remember that Xu Siniangzi is superb on the piano, but the person who played that piece just now was a little rusty, and even half of the charm in the song did not pop up.
Old Madam Ye coughed and interrupted Ye Qingchen to ignore the question of people's faces, and said, "There were two ladies in the pavilion who played two tunes just now, and if you want to excerpt that score, you should make it clearer." ”
"Grandmother, you also know the preferences of your grandchildren, so naturally you want the score for the first song. The second song is Mrs. Xu's best song, and the people who like the qin secretly hide this score at home, how can they ask their grandson to ask for the score?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qian's face was flushed, did she pretend to be amorous?
She has always been noble and dusty and looked up to by everyone, but she is so ugly!
She never knew that the song her mother gave her had been played outside, and she didn't know that this song would be so respected, so what did she just play this song for?
You're going to be mocked to death!
Standing here, she only felt that her whole body was pierced, and she was neither retreating nor retreating, and her whole body was very uncomfortable.
At this moment, I just want to find a crack to get into! Never come out!
