312 Gatherings
Only Chen Qinghuan didn't know what was going on, she only felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and then deduced that it was Tox and Edward's reason, Tox alone was enough to choke, and now there is an Edward who writes his dissatisfaction on his face, and it is strange that the atmosphere can be lively.
While the five were in a quiet stalemate, another car drove in outside, and Catherine said to pick them up, and took the opportunity to slip away, leaving the four of them where they were.
Tox and Edward sat face-to-face on the sofa, Ella was not familiar with them, and she would definitely prefer to get to know Chen Qinghuan than to play with these two freaks.
So he walked up to Chen Qinghuan, talked to her, and asked: "The red wine of the desert flower appeared in the last auction, and my father wanted to auction it, but he couldn't auction another person, that person can't be Miss Chen." ”
It turned out that the red wine was called the flower of the desert, and Chen Qinghuan had never heard of it. She thought that Fu Shaohua had returned to China to live a few years ago, and she had never done this, so it would definitely not be the wine auctioned, so she said: "There is a lot of wine in the cellar, which should have been left by the original owner, Mr. Gramont, I don't drink, so I don't know anything about red wine, and I haven't been to the cellar to see it." ”
"You said this used to be the manor of Duke Gramont?" Ella was taken aback, not only her, but the other two people present were also surprised, how could the duke's house be sold to a person from country Z, what is the origin of this Chen Qinghuan!
Chen Qinghuan nodded and said, "It's a long story, it's just a house left to me by the elders of the family." If Miss Ella's father likes desert flowers, I'll ask the butler to see if there's anything in the cellar, and you can bring back a bottle for your uncle. ”
"What did you say?!"
She said again in a shocking way, which frightened the three of them, in their opinion, this kind of behavior was like Fu Shaohua suddenly gave a manor to Chen Qinghuan at that time, and generosity could not describe this kind of behavior.
Ella smiled wryly and said, "It's hard to get a bottle, you can even bring me back the bottle that I didn't finish pouring." ”
When the words fell, a rich aroma of wine spread, and the nanny happened to walk in with a tray, with four glasses of red wine on it, with attractive color and fragrance, and even Chen Qinghuan, who didn't touch the wine, felt delicious and intoxicating when he smelled it.
Tox and Edward, even if they pretended, could not resist the temptation of this desert flower, and held it to their lips, reluctant to drink it.
At this time, the housekeeper intimately brought all kinds of chess and card games, snacks, drinks and toys, and the whole hall suddenly had a party atmosphere, but the three of them all held wine glasses and refused to let go.
Catherine didn't invite too many friends, and then four more young people came, and the list was all there.
Everyone went to the BBQ location prepared by Catherine to start the party, saying that Chen Qinghuan was the protagonist of the party, but in fact she was more like the owner who provided the venue, after all, everyone was Catherine's friend, and she was the only stranger among all the people present.
However, Chen Qinghuan didn't care too much, it felt good to be able to easily not socialize, she sat on the edge to take a break in the shade, watching them sway to their heart's content.
"Hey, Edward, did you bring your guitar today, have such a good time, sing us a song. "It was a later boy who spoke, and he didn't bother to touch Tox's moldy head, but Edward's jokes could be made casually.
The others chimed in: "Yes, just sing your best song "Last Sta."
"Well, that's not bad. ”
Edward said coldly, "No, shut your mouth." ”
"That's a shame. ”
A few people laughed, then looked at Chen Qinghuan, and said to her again: "Catherine, why aren't your friends at all? ”
"You've drunk too much. Catherine glared at him.
"You don't look down on me too much, how can this little wine make me drunk. ”
Edward didn't argue with him, he still hated Asians more than the boy-in-law who was hilarious for a while, leaned back in his chair and said: "Since it's a party, and I haven't prepared interesting links and programs in advance, I can only say that the preparations are not in place, but also, after all, it's an outsider, and it's normal to not understand our rules here." ”
Edward just wanted to scold Chen Qinghuan a few words in a weird way, Chen Qinghuan could see that this Edward was even more difficult to serve than tox, although tox didn't speak, he wouldn't deliberately find fault, and he hated the people of country Z from the bottom of his heart, in this case, I don't know what he did when he came here on purpose.
Chen Qinghuan chuckled, without any angry appearance, and beckoned the butler to say, "Bring my guitar to Mr. Edward." ”
Then he said to Edward: "Since we all want to watch the show, then trouble Mr. Edward to give us a show." ”
"I'm putting on a show for you?" Edward thought to himself that you were worthy too, but he still saved Catherine face, "I don't touch any guitar and sing on every occasion." ”
"Rest assured, my guitar will surely please Mr. Edward. ”
Speaking of which, both Edward and Tox subconsciously looked at Chen Qinghuan's fingers, her fingertips were white and smooth, and she didn't have a little calluse, obviously not a guitar player.
Edward sneered, "Your guitar? Do you know how to play the guitar?
Even Tox frowned, professional singers like them hate people who don't know anything about calling themselves singers, especially those who don't know how to pretend to understand, imitate the trend, and Chen Qinghuan, who speaks lightly.
Everyone looked at Chen Qinghuan and laughed a few more times, but Chen Qinghuan still maintained that light and breezy appearance, always smiling slightly.
She has written more songs than Tox and Edward combined, and when she came back, she also wrote the whole album for Li Tang, but her body is special, and ordinary scars can't leave traces on her skin at all, so she looks slender.
Chen Qinghuan replied indifferently: "I have learned guitar." It just so happens that my company's artists are going to release a new song, and if you don't mind, the two seniors can help me listen to the melody. ”
"Yo, Catherine, your friend dared to play the guitar in front of Edward and Tox. The boys sat down with a plate of barbecue, waiting to see the joke.
Edward said: "I only evaluate songs. In other words, a layman's song like hers doesn't deserve to be called a song at all.
Chen Qinghuan was noncommittal, it was useless to say more, but the facts proved to be the most important.
The guitar in the manor was not left by Fu Shaohua, it was a housewarming gift from Ma Sheng to Chen Qinghuan, and the value of this guitar is equivalent to the desert flower in the wine world, so Chen Qinghuan rarely takes it out and uses it.
The moment the butler took out the guitar, Edward and Tox were stunned, if it was disdain and ridicule just now, they were yearning for it at this moment.
"Miss Chen, the other one is in the maintenance shop, so I took this one out. The butler explained.
"Okay, it's all the same. ”
The conversation between the two made Edward stunned, and he couldn't take his eyes off the guitar in Chen Qinghuan's hand.
Seeing this, Catherine and Ella whispered, "This guitar looks ordinary, not cool at all. ”
Ella shrugged, "I don't know either, you know, I don't know anything about music. ”
Edward looked at them with a look of hatred for iron but not steel, "There are no beads, this guitar is more precious than the flower of the desert, and you can be regarded as opening your eyes." ”
After speaking, he showed a regretful expression, at this moment TOX and him rarely have a heart-to-heart connection, both of them think that this guitar is wasted, and it falls into the hands of such a person, and it can't play its true advantages.
Chen Qinghuan hadn't used this guitar for a long time, so she plucked the strings and tuned it first, she didn't use a tuner, which surprised Edward and Tox again, either she had an absolute sense of musicality, or she had been trained in music for a long time, either it was enough for them to surprise.
Chen Qinghuan lowered her head and played a short demo, the timbre of this guitar is more beautiful than all the guitars they have heard, the melody is light and catchy, every beat is just right, the fingering is skillful and beautiful, if she doesn't know how to pretend to understand, then there is no one present who can play the guitar.
About a minute, Chen Qinghuan stopped, she chose the first song that Li Tang was about to release, if the sample can be affirmed by Edward or Tox, it means that this song must also meet the public's aesthetics, and it is difficult not to be popular.
Of course, they didn't know what Chen Qinghuan was thinking, and the surprise in their eyes hadn't faded yet, and they didn't know if it was the song that surprised them, or the people surprised them even more.
"Chen, how did I not know you could play the guitar!" Catherine complained again, "You came to country Y and didn't tell me, and you didn't even tell me about this kind of thing, did you treat me as a friend?"
"I'm sorry Catherine, I didn't tell you, but I can't talk about me that I can play the guitar, and it's not too late for you to know, don't be angry. Chen Qinghuan was gentle when she talked to the girl, Catherine was immediately deflated, and she couldn't really get angry with her.
Chen Qinghuan stood up, put the guitar in Edward's hand, who did not blink the whole time, and said, "It's your turn." ”
She wasn't angry, it didn't mean that she had forgotten Edward's sarcastic words, and seeing this, everyone else staggered their eyes slightly, pretending that it didn't matter to them.
Edward held his guitar for a while, and then Tox, who cherished the words like gold, finally spoke again, "This demo you played is worth making into a song." It's better to say that he was surprised, he always thought that the music style of country Z was twenty years behind country Y.
This sentence is the maximum compliment he can say, the quality of the song cannot deceive the ear, nothing else, every good melody should be perfected by the creator, music is the way God communicates with mankind, he has always pursued this principle.
