Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Female Red
The car stopped in front of a small courtyard with green bamboo bushes, and the courtyard door said Lady's House, Ying Qi couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, which was really direct enough.
There were already two carriages parked in front of the door, and it seemed that they were the carriages of the eldest lady Wuya Baobai and the third lady Wuya Chase.
"The eldest sister and the third sister have already arrived, let's go in too. Wu Yajieyu said.
The two got out of the carriage with the support of the maidservant and walked in together.
A big room, very empty. There are several cases and a chair on it, which is presumably the seat of the masters. There are four smaller cases and four wooden stools neatly placed below. Uya Bao Bai and Uya Cha Se were already seated in their seats.
"Sister Qi. "Big sister, third sister. "The crowd greeted each other.
Wu Yajieyu guided her to sit in the arranged seat.
"The master has arrived. The little maid shouted softly outside, and the four of them stood up.
"I've seen Master He. "Today happens to be Master He teaching the piano art.
"Sit down. "Master He's melon seed face, wearing a green dress, holding a high bun, and only inserting a jasper hairpin, looks really cold.
"You are Miss Biao, the old lady has already explained to us, you haven't studied before, you listen to my teaching to a few young ladies first, and then I will teach you the most basic knowledge alone. Master He stepped forward coldly and said to her.
"Okay. Master Ho. "Targeted to guide himself, although Master He spoke coldly, it seems that he is still a very practical master.
Then Master He ignored her anymore and began to go to a few cases to explain the piano skills to the other three.
Ying Qi still sounded a little foggy, about half an hour later, Master He asked the three young ladies to start practicing playing the piano by themselves, and then walked in front of Ying Qi.
"What we are teaching now is the playing of the guzheng, which is mainly to pluck the strings with the four fingers of the right hand, the large, the ecliptic, the middle and the nameless, to pluck the ancient music. There are many fingerings of the zheng, the right hand has hook, support, split, pick, wipe, tick, hit, shake, pinch, etc., and the left hand has press, slide, rub, tremble, etc. You learn step by step, and once you master these techniques, the music will naturally flow smoothly. ”
Ying Qi sounded like she had a headache, but she nodded.
"Let's put my nails on first. Wear it directly on your fingers, wear your thumb diagonally in this direction, and wear the rest along the way. When sitting, the legs should be bent naturally, the left leg should be forward, the right leg should be back, the back should be straight, sit on the front half of the stool, do not sit on the stool, the first string should be aligned with the middle of the dress, and the body should be away from the position of the piano punch. When you play the piano, your hands are relaxed and half-clenched into fists. While explaining, he personally instructed her how to place it.
Then he started teaching her to pluck the strings, "Just keep in touch with the plucking strings today." Do you understand?" Ying Qi nodded, and Master He left.
Just dial and dial, Ying Qi felt that her fingers were hurting. Master He finally walked over, "Okay, take a break, play around like this for half an hour every day, rest for a while, and then play for half an hour, understand?"
"Understood, master. Ying Qi nodded hurriedly.
"Tired, aren't you?" During the lunch break, the other three came over. Wuya Baobai asked first.
"Well, it's tiring. Ying Qi replied directly.
"Just practice a little bit later. That's how we first came over. Wuya Baobai said.
"Hmm. Ying Qi rubbed her fingers.
"Big sister, Sister Qi, come on, it's time for lunch. It was the voice of Uyachase.
"Just come. Wuya Baobai turned his head to greet Ying Qi, "Then let's go over together." ”
"Okay, big sister. So they went away hand in hand.
When I came to the flower hall, I had already put on a variety of dishes, six meat and six vegetables, and a table was full.
The masters all ate in their own rooms, and did not eat with several young ladies.
"It's so full of color, smell, and taste. Ying Qi exclaimed.
"Sister Qi, that's your first time here, and I think it's fresh. We're all tired of eating. It's always like this, it's boring and boring. Uyachase shrugged, his face bored.
"Ser, you're just picky. Wu Yajieyu said with a smile. "Look at you, you're all round, and you love to eat so much. ”
"I'm young. When I grow up, it won't be like this. Wu Ya Cha Se didn't care about Wu Ya Jieyu's ridicule. "If I don't hurry up and eat it now, I won't be able to eat this or that when I grow up. ”
"Hehe, you gluttonous cat, there's a reason. Wu Yajieyu said with a smile.
"Can we finish all the dishes?" asked Ying Qi.
"It's nothing, if you can't finish eating, give it to Yun'er. "Yun'er is the maid of Wuya Chase.
"Oh. Ying Qi understood. The unfinished dishes of the master can be rewarded to the slave and maid, which is an honor for the slave and the maid.
During the meal, all four of them were quiet. After eating quietly, they talked to each other for a while, and then went to their respective ear rooms to take a lunch break.
Wu Yajieyu specially brought Yingqi to a green room, a small room with a bush of green bamboo, and the screen window was also made of blue soft veil.
"Sister, are you satisfied with this room? If you don't like it, I'll tell my sister-in-law Gefferhe, and ask her to arrange for someone to change it to the color you like. Wu Yajieyu asked her opinion.
"It's good. It feels very quiet in the summer. Yingqi is still quite satisfied, and it doesn't seem to be too hot.
"Okay, you rest for a while, I'll call you before class. Wu Ya Jieyu said.
"Thank you, second sister. Ying Qi agreed. Wu Yajieyu said goodbye and left.
Ying Qi looked at her back, a little pensive. At present, several girls are quite friendly to her, whether they are kind by nature or have other purposes, we need to observe again.
On the second day, I learned chess, and it turned out to be Go, Ying Qi was a little surprised, didn't I hear that the history of chess is even longer.
But looking at the black and white on the chessboard, she has a headache, and she has hated counting since she was a child.
The third day is to learn calligraphy, this is what Ying Qi is interested in, her words used to be very bad, and then after coming here, she followed her brother Fu Yi to learn for a while, but after all, the paper is limited, and she is not studying professionally, so she can follow the master to concentrate on learning, which makes Ying Qi very happy.
The fourth day of learning painting. Although Ying Qi always doesn't understand those ink-splashed landscapes, it still looks good.
The things that Ying Qi has learned in the past few days are all beginners, and the two masters are also relatively cold, so they seem to be calm after all.
Until the fifth day began to learn embroidery, Master Shen was a gentle middle-aged woman, and her speech was gentle and gentle, which was very liked by Yingqi. What's more, the embroidery piece Yingqi originally had a certain foundation, but it was praised by Master Shen several times.
It's even more so when it comes to cooking. Yingqi can cook herself, so she naturally feels familiar with the road.
Master Shen taught them to make snacks, and Ying Qi made scallion shortbread, but Wuya Chase was hungry.
"Sister Qi, how can you make such delicious scallion shortbread. I never thought shortbread would smell so good. Within two days, Wu Ya Chase automatically followed Ying Qi back to the Peach Blossom Cabinet after dinner.
"Third sister, this is actually very simple, it's just that you haven't done it like this before, in fact, the chefs must be better than me. Ying Qi couldn't cry or laugh at this third lady who loves food.
"The dishes they cook are the same. It's not delicious. Uya tea pouted.
"Well, I'll write you the method. You go back and let the maids do it themselves?" Ying Qi said tentatively, after all, it was not such an important thing.
"Okay, I'll let the maids try to do it. Uyachase nodded.
So Ying Qi asked the little maid to take a pen and paper, brush and brush, and quickly wrote down the method of making scallion oil shortbread on the paper and handed it to Wu Yachase.
"Sister Qi, you are so cute. Uyachase departed contentedly.
Not long after, Wu Yacha ordered someone to send three silk flowers, saying that they were custom-made in Jinmanlou outside before, and they were only delivered in the afternoon.
