9. Chapter 9
Being surrounded by people for a while, Su Yan was a little bored, and the little girls were nothing more than talking about hairpin ring jewelry, clothes and makeup, or the sons and daughters of the capital, which she was not very interested in. Got up gently, said hello to the little ladies sitting around her, and led people out of the hall.
The female musician under the corridor was playing the piano, and the sound of the piano lingered, so that she listened to it.
"Shi Niang?" Qingyun saw that the little lady was standing still, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly.
"Go and ask who is playing the lute."
Before the voice fell, there was a maid to ask, and after a while, a woman in an apricot red shirt knelt down in front of the steps, her body was low, and she didn't dare to raise her head at all.
Su Yan glanced at Lu Xue, and Lu Xue said, "Get up and talk back." โ
After the woman kowtowed, she slowly stood up, still hanging her head, and Su Yan asked gently, "Who composed the pipa music just now?" "The pipa song just now is fresh and lively, and it is quite interesting.
"Back to the little lady, this song was composed by the son of Yang." The woman's voice was melodious, perhaps a little nervous, with a small trill.
The son of Yang? Su Yan was slightly stunned, and then thought that it was her cousin Lu Ji, and she didn't expect that this cousin could still compose music. She chuckled, "Your lute is good. Green snow, reward her. With that, he led the people away.
The little ladies in the hall, when they heard that this female music had just played was actually a piece composed by Lu Jiashilang, they all watched it one after another, and some people said: "Play it again." โ
Another person said: "Tell everyone else to stop, and only listen to her alone."
In a small garden not far from where the little ladies stayed, a group of young men were sitting and talking. Suddenly, someone said, "Stop, listen......
"Isn't this the song Yang Zhi played casually last time?" After listening carefully, Su Zhengyuan spoke.
Lu Ji nodded, and Su Zhengze asked with a smile: "Who did my cousin compose the song for?" โ
"It's just a casual play, not a score, how to give it away." Lu Ji shook his head, this was still what he played casually before he went to school, when Su Zhengyuan's brothers and sisters practiced it for him in the Yasukuni Mansion. Soon after the banquet, he went on a study tour, and he didn't even remember the score, who could he give it to.
Well, it can't be that Su Rong wrote it down. Could it be that the pipa just now was played by Su Rong? I can't imagine that she plays the pipa well, why does she always say that she doesn't understand the rhythm? What a humble.
Not only did he think so, but in addition to the Su family brothers, there were also those who participated in the practice banquet, all of whom thought about the same as him. Wang Zhengchu, the eldest grandson of Duke Wuyi, said with a smile: "It must have been written down by Qi Niang, presumably it was played by Qi Niang just now." "Although Su Rong is not famous for his talent in the imperial capital Shuangzhu, those close to them know that Su Rong's talent is not inferior to that of the daughter of the Zhao family, the imperial historian.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, when the little ladies gathered, it was common to play music, write poems, and paint, and play to a happy place, and they would dance in unison. Because of this, everyone thinks that the one who played the pipa just now should be Qi Niang Su Rong of the Yasukuni Mansion.
Others don't know, but the brothers Su Zhengyuan and Su Zhengsong know that Su Rong's piano playing can only be said to be ordinary, and she doesn't know how to play the pipa.
Su Zhengsong shook his head: "Qi Niang can't play the pipa." โ
All:......
It's interesting this time, it's not Qi Niang, who will it be? When it was time to investigate it carefully, a servant had already come to inform him that the banquet was about to begin. Su Zhengsong turned his head and beckoned his entourage, and gave two orders in a low voice before marching to the banquet with everyone.
The Su family's banquet this time is not big, and the people invited are relatives or friends. In this kind of family banquet in the Great Xia Dynasty, many times men and women do not need to be separated too much, basically men and women are on their own side, one person has one case, and there are maids around them. However, because of the presence of female dependents, the prostitutes who accompanied the male guests could not sit at the feast.
The first person to sit is Mrs. Lu, accompanied by the Duke of Yasukuni, and the first seat of the female dependents is Mrs. Lu, accompanied by the Wang family. The rest of the guests sat in turn, and the young lady and the little lady sat in the back.
In the field, the prostitutes of the Su family were dancing the green-waisted dance, and the dancers in gorgeous dance clothes were light and soft. Unlike the traditional green-waisted dance, it is just one person dancing. The green waist dance of the Su family is a group dance, a total of twelve people, and at the end of the dance, a blooming flower is danced.
Everyone present applauded, Liu Ziye picked up the wine glass, laughed, "When you float a big white, you can live up to this dance." โ
Lu Ji asked in a low voice, "Is this created by Qi Niang?" โ
Su Zhengsong said with a smile: "She said that it's not interesting to watch only one person dance, and it looks good if there are more people." โ
Lu Ji nodded when he heard this, "It's really good." โ
Naturally, there were people on the little lady's side who knew about it, and Wang Jing smiled: "Ah Yue, this is what you tossed out last month?" โ
Su Rongzheng took a piece of duck tongue and put it in his mouth, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "No, twelve people, after a month of practice, they can just watch." โ
Liu Wenxuan said: "You can only think of it, then Zhao Yiren no longer has such ingenuity." "She has always looked at Zhao Yiren unpleasantly, isn't she just a talented woman, and her eyes are on the top of her head. Hmph, their Ah Yue doesn't know how many times stronger than Zhao Yiren, and I haven't seen her look at people with their heads held high.
Su Rong frowned and shook his head at her, "The three ladies of the Zhao family are excellent in calligraphy and painting, even Young Master Lu has praised them, and I can compare them." โ
Wang Jing said: "Ah Yue, you are just too modest, and your calligraphy and painting are not bad?" The fan you painted for me last time, Princess Yang'an saw that she couldn't love it, so she snatched it away. Later, I heard her say that even when the four princes saw him, they all said that it was better to write, paint, and poem. โ
As soon as she said this, Su Rong's face was even worse, "How can the pen and ink of my daughter's family be seen by outsiders." "It's not good to be seen by anyone, but it's really bad luck to be seen by him.
"Snort, what are you pretending to be, your words are still missing for the son of Yang?" Someone immediately dismantled the stage.
Su Yan looked sideways, and said that she was an extremely bright girl, but she was dressed very plainly, and the moon-white skirt made her face more and more delicate.
She remembered that this was the third lady of the mighty Hou family. The eldest cousin of her aunt's family is married to the eldest daughter of the Weiwu Hou family, and she should be the sister of this third lady. However, her mother said that the current Mrs. Weiwuhou is the stepfamily, and the first Mrs. Weiwuhou passed away after only giving birth to one daughter. Obviously, the third lady and her cousin-in-law were not born to the same mother.
Su Rong smiled faintly, "Eleven Lang is my cousin, how can he be considered an outsider." โ
Zhang Sanniang sneered: "Lu Ji is your tenth mother's cousin, not your cousin." โ
Seeing that he was about to pinch it, Su Yan opened his mouth, "My cousin is naturally also the cousin of the seventh sister." โ
Zhang Sanniang saw Su Yan open her mouth, he sneered twice, just wanted to speak, and didn't want a girl sitting next to her to call her softly: "Sister, don't be angry." Saying that, she personally picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Sanniang, and the girl's moist eyes were full of apologies and said to Su Rong and Su Yan: "Sister Su forgive me, my third sister just admires Yang Zhi's son too much." โ
Wang Shuyun smiled when he heard this: "Who in this Shangdu daughter's family doesn't admire the eleventh lang of the Lu family." Her always cold face, such a smile, like a spring breeze passing through, the ice is broken, bright and beautiful. Damn, I hate Zhang Siniang the most, compared to her, Zhang Sanniang's โกโก face is much better-looking.
Zhang Sanniang didn't appreciate it, and sneered slightly, "Don't see anyone call me sister, Shi Niang is younger than you." When Zhang Sanniang said this, her face turned red, her teeth bit her red lips, and she lowered her head a little embarrassed, Zhang Sanniang sneered: "Who to show like this, don't disgust me." "This girl didn't know how much enmity she had with her sister at home, so she just gave it faceless.
Su Rong was very helpless, Zhang Siniang was stupid enough, before everyone, what did you say, when everyone here were stupid, I couldn't hear it. I don't know if the emperor is old, and he likes this kind of self-proclaimed smart woman, otherwise why is she so favored.
Just as the dancers in the field retreated, and Liu Yinyue came up again. Liu Yinyue sang a good song, and the sound of silk and bamboo started, and what she sang was a new song "Poppy Beauty", and she quickly changed the topic: "I have never heard this song, and I don't know if it is a new work by that celebrity." โ
Su Yan glanced at Su Rong a little strangely, and said, "If my guess is right, it should be my cousin's new work." The style of this new poem is obviously what Lu Ji is good at, and the scenery written in the poem is the place where Lu Ji passed through when he was studying. Isn't Qi Niang very good with her cousin, why can't you see this?
Su Rong's smile faded, "Maybe." "Someone said before that Liu Yinyue and Lu Ji were very good, but she didn't believe it yet, this time......
Wang Shuyun's brows did furrow, an ordinary small order, Su Yan could know that it was written by Lu Ji when he was not familiar with Lu Ji. No wonder history says that Su Yan is Lu Ji's confidante, and the marriage between the two is a match made in heaven. Lu Ji and Su Yan have been in love all their lives, even if Su Yan did not give birth to a child, Lu Ji never had two hearts. Alas, it's a pity that Lu Ji, a merry son, died because he married Su Yan.
She looked at Su Rong, who had a faint expression, and then looked at Su Yan, who had a radiant complexion, and secretly thought to herself, looking at Su Rong's appearance, she had a good impression of Lu Ji. If she marries Lu Ji, she will have one less rival.
