73. Rumors

It's approaching the Chinese New Year, and the matter of "Autumn Killing" is so miraculous that some people have even begun to make up some mythical jokes about "Autumn Killing" and take them to the teahouse. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"There are big things happening in Beijing every day, and there are new things to talk about every day, but what I'm going to talk about today is not a new thing, but a thing that has been going on for many months!" As soon as the storyteller's voice fell, someone coaxed: "It's been so long, what else is there to say, it's new!"

The storyteller gently knocked the folding fan in his hand on the tabletop, and said, "Don't worry! Listen to me slowly! This happened at the chrysanthemum banquet in the Chongguo Mansion, and the big guy must have heard about it, and after the chrysanthemum banquet, there was a song called 'Autumn Killing' in the capital! Everyone knows it, right?"

"Who doesn't know! Now even the girl in the Goulan Chu Pavilion can play!" As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

The storyteller knocked on the table again with a fan, and waited for the crowd to be quiet before he continued: "Although this song has spread widely, it is not the song played at the banquet that day, and some people who were with the banquet that day heard the 'Autumn Killing' played by people of the present day, and sighed, 'Compared with the original song, it is far from enough!' It is rare for people today to get this song in 12 out of 12!' It can be seen that the song of that day is far better than what we have heard! But there were so many people at the banquet that day, but why was no one able to write down this song completely?'" At this point, Mr. Storyteller paused and looked at the crowd.

Everyone began to discuss, "I also think it's strange, you said that there were so many people at that time, one person couldn't remember, and there were two people, two people couldn't remember, and there were three people, why so many people didn't remember a song together?"

"That's it, that's it, that song was played in less than a quarter of an hour, how could it be that no one remembered it?"

"That's it, I heard that there are some people who usually pride themselves on remembering, but I don't remember them this time!"

Seeing that everyone had already asked what they wanted to say, the storyteller said: "The reason why everyone has this doubt is also in my expectation! After listening to my next words, everyone will understand!"

"Then you should hurry up! Don't hang people's appetites!" Everyone said, and some people threw the bounty money directly, and the storyteller looked at the bounty money piled aside to meet his expectations, and then took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Everyone knows that the person who plays the piano is only a little girl who is less than ten years old, and now there is no shortage of pipa people who play 'Autumn Killing', why can't many people play the artistic conception of the day?" A little girl who is less than ten years old, even if she has been playing the piano since she was born, it can't compare to these people who were born in the music and rhythm family, and they have been playing the piano for many generations, but why is she better than those everyone? There is only one reason!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent, listening to Mr. Storyteller's next words, but Mr. Storyteller said something else, "Do you remember what happened last autumn?"

Someone said angrily, "What happened last fall, what does it have to do with it? Tell me what happened, or I'll smash your yard!"

The storyteller motioned to everyone to be calm, "These two things are really related! Everyone, listen to me in detail! Last autumn, the Tile Thorn invaded our country of China on a large scale, and now the Holy Commander has ordered 100,000 troops to go to Raozhou to resist foreign invaders! Now that the war in the north is in full swing, how many soldiers in the north are hungry and unclothed, fighting with the enemy and shedding the last drop of blood! And some people are still putting on a feast and singing songs every day at such a time! When the soldiers in front ate grass roots and gnawed tree bark, they ate the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and drank the essence of the elixir and jade liquid; when the soldiers were wrapped in coarse linen and leather, they wore mink fur coats; and when the soldiers charged into battle, they were drinking and having fun!"

Speaking of this, the audience's emotions were already very excited, and the storyteller accepted it when he saw it, "The soldiers' sincere heart to protect the family and defend the country moved the heavens, and God appeared and let the little girl play this song, which is a warning from God to us! Now that the country has foreign invaders, the people of China should think about how to serve the court and contribute to the country, instead of being content with pleasure!"

Seeing that everyone looked suddenly enlightened, the storyteller said: "So the 'autumn killing' is the sound of heaven, not something that ordinary people like us can play, and that little girl can only play this song because of God's manifestation!"

As soon as the storyteller's voice fell, everyone began to talk about it.

"I see, I just said why so many people, none of them can remember that tune, it turns out that this is the sound of God's warning, how can there be a reason for mortals to remember!"

"In this way, it is God who has appeared, and the little girl can play a song 'Autumn Kill'!"

"But why did God choose such a little girl?"

"Yes, why not someone else, but a little girl?"

"What are you talking nonsense! I don't believe in any divine apparitions!"

"Shi Fatty, don't say such things, beware of being damned!"

"That is, you hurry back and repent in front of the Buddha! Beware of God's blame!"

……

Within a few days, this joke spread in Beijing, and compared with the first version, this matter is now even more miraculous! Hearing the rumors outside, Xiao Miao was furious, "What do you say is being spread outside now?"

Cui Yao said in a low voice: "It is said that the second young lady is a heavenly immortal descending to earth, and she is a messenger sent to the world by heaven......"

Xiao Miao looked at Cui Yao's cautious face, and suddenly realized that his attitude was very inappropriate, so he had to hide his smile, "What nonsense is this! According to what they say, how dare our girls marry in the future!"

"How can our young lady from the Changxiang Hou Mansion not get married? Besides, this reputation is not bad!" Cui Yao was stunned, this is a good thing! Although Mrs. doesn't like the second miss, but the fourth miss can also follow it! How did Cui Yao know that Xiao Miao's family not only didn't like Yao Keqing, but she couldn't wait to be such a person at all!

"You don't understand!" Xiao Miao said: "Although this reputation is good, it has also caused a lot of trouble! Sister Qing has such a name, I am afraid that it will attract the pursuit of many children of the family, and there are not even a few people who come to the door to ask for marriage, but how can anyone marry a fairy? If you reject this family, but accept that family, isn't this a slap in the face?"

Cui Yao also felt that what Xiao Miao said was reasonable, and thought about it: "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that no one has come to the door to ask for marriage now, and give the second lady's marriage first? In case someone comes to inquire at that time, as long as the second miss has already promised someone, isn't it? Besides, the eldest lady has also reached the age of discussing marriage, and the two sisters have settled together, and others can't gossip!"

Xiao Miao nodded, "This is an idea, I will discuss it with the old lady and then decide!" Xiao Miao really felt that Cui Yao's idea was good, and he did everything possible to prevent Yao Keqing, just because he was afraid that Yao Keqing would steal the limelight from his daughter. In order to suppress Yao Keqing, he did not hesitate to recognize Yao Kerong as his concubine, but he didn't want Yao Kerong to be useless, not to mention Yao Keqing, he couldn't even compare to a young lady from a second-rate family, and she had to act secretly.

I thought that there would be a reputation for murder and viciousness, but I didn't want to become a fairy and go down to earth, but now I have to think of another way! It's a good idea to marry her, and if she marries her, she can detain her at home to embroider the dowry, and there is no need to go to the banquet outside; besides, if you marry her early, the little one is left, and it's not up to you to handle it! With her protection, it's hard for you to start, and when she gets married, the little one has no one to rely on, and it's naturally easy to clean up.

The affairs of the Dai family should also be solved, otherwise how can the master's errand be good...... Xiao Miao smiled lightly in his heart.

"Miss! The slave heard something on the street!" Biyu had just taken a leave of absence, and went home, and as soon as she came back, she talked excitedly, "Now there are still rumors of Miss's tune on the street! They all say that Miss's tune was composed by a fairy in the sky, but she just borrowed Miss's hand to pop it up! Some people say that Miss is a fairy descending from earth, so she can play a tune that ordinary people can't match!"

Mama Fang listened to Biyu say that Yao Keqing was a fairy, and she also felt that Yao Keqing was really like a fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, serving such a fairy-like girl, she also felt very happy, "You dead girl! Miss promised you to go home and take a look, you are good, run to the street to play!"

Biyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mama, the slave maid has returned home, and before returning home, I went to the street to buy snacks for the big guy before I heard about it, and the slave didn't go to the street specifically!"

Mama Fang smiled: "You have a good heart, you will buy all the snacks and share them with the monthly money!

Biyu happily answered and went down, Mama Fang watched Yao Keqing sitting by the window reading in a white fox fur, the fluffy fur collar made her little face more and more white, and the faint coldness of the corners of her eyes and eyebrows made her temperament even more refined. Thinking that this was her own eldest lady, Mama Fang felt very proud in her heart, "Just now Biyu said that the people outside said that the young lady is a fairy, and the old slave looks at the young lady and is really the same as the Nine Heavens fairy!"

Yao Keqing put down the book and said, "Mama, don't make fun of me! Biyu loves to watch the excitement the most, what she heard, which one is not to add oil and vinegar to others? Mama, don't believe her words!" This news about the warning from heaven was originally sent out by her, but she didn't expect it to spread like this, it seems that she really underestimated the curiosity of the people and the ability to spread rumors, and now I'm afraid that it will not end well, whether it is at home or outside, there will be a lot of turmoil.

Xiao Miao's deliberately spread the autumn killing, just to let Yao Keqing give people the impression of being ruthless and murderous, but Yao Keqing made a fuss about the invasion of the tile thorn and successfully reversed the situation, can Xiao Miao's be willing?

If she is willing to accept her fate, it will not be her ambitious second aunt.

Mama Fang saw that Yao Keqing had put the book down, and hurriedly stuffed the hand stove into her hand, "No matter how true or false Biyu said, anyway, the old slave thinks that Miss is no different from a fairy!"

Gui Yuan said with a smile: "What Mama said is like a princess selling melons!"

Juzi said seriously: "It's that Mama Fang is the princess, and the young lady is not a melon!"

Suddenly, even Yao Keqing couldn't help laughing, and Gui Yuan ran out with a smile embarrassed.
