Qu Ning looked at her with admiration and emotion, and since Tang Jian calmly walked on the stage and gently put her fingers on the keys, she focused on projecting on this girl's thin and delicate body.

There was silence all around, and everyone was watching Tang Key's performance, their eyes were burning, which made people feel very stressed. But fortunately, in this case, Tang Key did not have stage fright at all, on the contrary, under the bright light that seemed to have no room to hide, Tang Key bowed lightly to the ladies and ladies present with a light face, slowly walked in front of the piano, held his breath for a moment, and suddenly dropped his fingers as light as a swift towards the piano keys, and began her performance of this song in the scene of Liang Zhu who suddenly opened.

"Sure enough, you treat us all as big winter melons......" Looking at her fingers without a trace of trembling, the corners of Qu Ning's lips hooked up a smile, and she felt a little emotionally Tang Key's well-behaved and intelligent, and let go of her heart. The next second, she closed her eyes slightly, purely enjoying the auditory feast that Tang Key gave to everyone present at this time: the sound of the piano in the last second was still soft as a breeze, but the next second it became like a torrential rain falling into the jade plate, and the scenes of acquaintance and acquaintance in the ancient song of Liang Zhu, and then the scenes of falling in love and being forced to separate, seemed to be clearly displayed in front of you through the sound of this song.

Tang Jian undoubtedly played at a super level today.

The most important thing in the performance of a musical instrument is not only the technique, but also the transmission of emotions.

In the eyes of some foreign envoys and wives who are also proficient in piano playing, Tang Key's fingering skills in today's performance may not be outstanding, but what is rare is the particularly clear sense of picture and the kind of emotion that makes people sigh in her piano sound.

When Tang Key finished playing the song and sat on the piano bench with his eyes gently closed, the applause below immediately rang out extremely warmly and for a long time, which made Tang Key's eyes widen in horror in the next second.

The young ladies gathered around Qu Ning and said with a smile that was actually illogical: "Young lady tunes. I really have a hand in teaching people, and Miss San's performance today really opened our eyes. ”

Qu Ning just smiled slightly, and with a slight move of his fingers, he snapped his fingers in mid-air.

This scene has been arranged a long time ago.

When the sound of the piano fades away, and only the lingering sound is left in the hall, then it is time to start the next scene.

Hearing her code, they were already waiting at the door, a group of maids wearing plain white dresses, coiled hair buns, and curly Tingting, each holding a porcelain in their hands, came in one by one along the side door, and lined up in two columns on the left and right in the hall.

There is no doubt that their clothes have undergone a special design, the plain white material is embroidered with the three friends of the year, but the style of the skirt is a little Western-style drag design, but this is a rare and even unconventional dress, with the blue and white porcelain in their hands, there is a rare complement - the skin of the beauty is like jade, the fetal quality of the porcelain is extraordinarily delicate and white, and the appearance of the porcelain is holding the porcelain, there is an indescribable mysterious charm.

Some ambassadors and their wives approached curiously to take a closer look, but they often found that the porcelain was also a pattern they had never seen before-the patterns on it were not just ordinary Chinese porcelain flowers, birds, fish and insects, but among those patterns that can be seen everywhere, mixed with some stories that can only be found in the Bible, such as the statue of the Virgin with a child in her arms, a dinner at zuihou, some Western faces, and even Cupid shooting arrows with a bare buttocks, etc.

"Wow!" On the side of Huaxia's wife, some people showed a "simply insulting Sven and unbearable appearance" on their faces, but because the master's face was not easy to say directly, they pouted invisibly and turned their faces away, but their reactions aside, this batch of porcelain, obviously for those foreign ladies, made them interested in collecting and even buying.

Thinking of the combination of Chinese and Western music, some people curiously twisted one of the plates, imitating the appearance of Mrs. Huaxia they had seen, curled their fingers and lightly buckled the fetal body, the voice was like a mouthful, the lady showed a little curious look on her face, and turned to Qu Ning with some hesitation and asked: "Madam, how come these porcelain, why have we never seen them on the market?" ”

"I asked someone to open a kiln to make it." Qu Ning smiled slightly, and Sai Jinhua meticulously translated her words beside her, "Everyone who came today, everyone has a share, everyone can pick one and go back, this is a gift I give to all the ladies." ”

Foreigners don't talk about fake politeness, so they happily touted Qu Ning and began to thank her.

Qu Ning smiled and watched as one of them picked one by one, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was extremely sincere.

***

After that, there was not much surprise in eating, drinking, greetings, and talking.

Qu Ning's purpose of holding this banquet today has almost been achieved, she greeted the more important guests, and then let them take care of themselves.

Tang Jian walked to her with some hesitation at this time: "Sister-in-law......

Qu Ning touched her head lovingly: "The third sister did a good job today, very brave." ”

"But I ......" Tang Jian frowned and lowered his face, and stopped talking.

Qu Ning was about to ask her something, when a lady holding a fan suddenly walked over next to her, and greeted Qu Ning: "Mrs. Young Marshal!" ”

"Ah, it's Mrs. Zhuang!" Qu Ning recognized this smiling wife, but her cheeks were thin and she looked a little mean, and greeted politely.

This Mrs. Zhuang was one of the highest-ranking ladies in this banquet.

Her husband is the current speaker of the National Assembly, although in the current constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is divine, the king is higher than the parliament and can appoint and remove the speaker and members of the government, in the face of the huge people shouting for a democratic republic, the speaker of the parliament is actually a thankless job, like a mouse in the bellows, but the nominal status is extremely high, everyone has to have more respect for her.

What's more, both sides are not pleased, sometimes both sides have to be co-opted, and this chip cannot be let to the other end at will.

The military confrontation between the Tang family and the Feng family has instead bred a large number of speculators in Beijing.

Or it is precisely because of the reason of "strong on the outside and dry in the middle" that this Mrs. Zhuang is famous for her love of putting on a show, and it is difficult to please Haode. When doing things and talking, in addition to being exquisite, there is always a little bit of indescribable meanness.

She has a pair of extraordinarily slender eyes, and Qu Ning realized when she looked at her at this moment: this person always looks at people with a kind of slanting, with a slight contempt, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Zhuang looked at it for a while, and then she smiled and covered the lower half of her face with a fan, and a pair of eyes turned around Tang Key, and said, "Miss Tang San's performance is quite good." ”

"Madame's got the prize." Qu Ning smiled faintly, "But our young marshal is very supportive of the third sister to learn a little more skills, the piano, on the one hand, the third sister likes it, and on the other hand, it is also for cultivating sentiment." However, our three sisters are the most versatile, and piano performance is actually just one of them. I couldn't figure out what Mrs. Zhuang's sarcastic tone meant, but she was very careful when she spoke.

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and nodded—but her smile was unnatural, but rather mocking: "Of course." After a pause, he smiled again, glanced at Tang Key, and said, "But Miss San, I heard that a few years ago, it was a male pianist who taught you piano playing?" After a pause, his tone changed again, as if he was serious about a bit of earnest teaching, obviously this sentence was not an inquiry at all, but more like a teacher asking for guilt, "Although we all talk about emancipation of the mind now, but as your sister-in-law said, the girl's family still has to be inspected." After all, it is the responsibility of our women to teach each other husband and children, get married, and take care of the inner house. Third Miss, do you say? ”

Qu Ning's brows were already furrowed deeply, she glanced at this Mrs. Zhuang, although she still had a very polite smile on her face, but there was no previous smile in her eyes.

Be all abroad! This Mrs. Zhuang is too inexplicable!

Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding. What's more, this is in someone else's house, taking an old incident from a few years ago to count other people's daughters?

If she follows this Mrs. Zhuang to count Tang Key, then she will be too derelict in her duty as a sister-in-law!

Qu Ning regretted it at this time: if she knew that this Mrs. Zhuang was such a person who didn't know four or six, she wouldn't give her a chance to talk at all, and she wouldn't let her get one step closer to Tang Jian at all! Qu Ning was annoyed in her heart, and a dark cloud rolled up on her face, but before she could speak, the little girl who was originally holding her hand had already lowered her head, and although tears could be seen in her eyes, she was very firm and blocked her mouth back: "Mrs. Zhuang's words, I can't agree." Tang Jian raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "The musician was found by my brother, and my brother is the person who loves me the most on this shijie." How could he not think about my reputation? Mrs. Zhuang, if you want to accuse my brother of ignoring my reputation, then you should go to my brother and tell him that if he feels that he is wrong, then he will admit his mistake and correct it. It is said that women should follow three virtues and four virtues, may I ask what is wrong with me listening to my brother's teachings at home? ”

The words pushed Mrs. Zhuang's accusations away, and Qu Ning swallowed the words that she was going to help her with, and glanced at the girl's slightly excited face with some appreciation: Very good. If this Mrs. Zhuang dares to tell Tang Shaoshuai in person, saying that your sister is indecent, she will give her a hundred praises for her courage!

Mrs. Zhuang's face turned purple, from the initial sneer to the disbelief and unconcealable anger that followed.

She gritted her teeth, glared at the seemingly gentle little girl, and turned to Qu Ning coldly: "What does the young lady mean, is she looking down on our banker?" ”

"......" Qu Ning smiled, and shrugged her shoulders in a particularly helpless posture - this attitude is relaxed and light, this is "really * look down", she shook her head with a smile and shook her fingers, "Mrs. Zhuang, the only person who is qualified to accuse our three girls like this is her family." And I really don't remember, what is the in-law relationship between the Tang family and the Zhuang family? ”

There was a low sneer from the side.

Mrs. Zhuang's face was even more ugly, the fingers pointing at her trembled slightly, and she turned around and left with a "hum", leaving only one sentence: "Young lady, good sister to teach!" ”

"......" Qu Ning looked at her back and spread her hands again, her posture was chic and casual, with an expression that she didn't take this matter in her eyes at all, and smiled at the people around her, "Okay, okay, let's eat and drink, don't spoil your appetite for this." ”

Whitewashing the peace covered up this matter, Qu Ning changed her hand but pulled Tang Key to the side, found a secluded place, she rubbed the corners of her forehead, looked at the girl in front of her with a quiet look and asked, "Do you know anything?" ”

Tang Jian was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze wandering: "Didn't sister-in-law guess?" ”

"Relatives?" Qu Ning paused, and spat out these two words from the corners of his lips.

Then, she saw Tang Jian nodding silently.

The author has something to say: Anyway, after finishing that chapter yesterday, I went to eat with my friends for a practice meal.

Then when I came back, I was completely drunk.

So the double watch has a →_→ so I have a bad headache today, and it's too late.

Next ...... Estimated at night. The tiger touches everyone. I'm sorry.
