041 Show your talents

Shuyang was dismissive of Ding Lin of the Shoufu family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuyang chuckled: "I don't complain about others." We really can't play the piano well, we can't make tea, and we can't paint ugly, so what do talented women who are good at reading poetry and books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting talk to us? ”

Shuyang said: "If you are talented, you are talented, I am most disgusted with the virtue of their group of people who look down on people, and they are arrogant and self-appreciating in front of us. ”

Yuxuan also laughed when she heard it: "Then I really can't play with them, I said at home yesterday that the Xishan Plum Garden Banquet is another talent competition, what can I do?" ”

Shuyang hugged her and said, "Sure enough, it's Yuxuan's sister, and she smells like us." If a family like ours wants to listen to the piano, just let the pianist in the house play it; If you want to drink tea, there are maids to make it. My mother said that we will all be the main mothers in charge of the whole house in the future, so how can we have all those time to spend it? It is serious to learn to manage the family well. ”

This kung fu, Mu Chunxue of the Xuanping Hou family and Sheng Yan of the Huaiyin Hou family walked in hand in hand, both of which were about the same age as Yuxuan.

Mu Chunxue saw a strange girl of the same age as herself, and asked curiously, "Sisters, who is this?" ”

Shuyang was biting her ears with Yujing, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly said: "This is Yujing's own sister, you are generally old, take her to play, don't stay with us." ”

Yujing smiled: "It's like how old we are." ”

Shuyang said: "Our topic is not understood by children, so let them play just right." ”

Yujing saw Sheng Yan and asked, "Did you come with the old lady of Huaiyin?" ”

Sheng Yan said: "Yes. ”

Shuyang asked, "Your brother didn't come?" ”

Sheng Yan said: "It seems that the Holy Lord sent him to Beijing to have something to do, and he is not at home." ”

Mu Chunxue had already pulled up Yuxuan: "Don't be in the warm pavilion, it's boring, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers." ”

Yuxuan stood up and inadvertently glanced at the corner where Yuqian and Yufang were staying, but the figure was gone.

She hurriedly asked Yujing: "Have you seen the eldest sister and the second sister?" ”

Yujing rolled her eyes: "Who knows, maybe I went out with the daughters of those civil officials to compare some talents, right?" ”

Shuyang laughed: "Indeed, you see that the people staying in the house are all our martial arts people, and you are not like a girl from a civil official family, and you are mixed with us all day long." ”

Yuxuan saw that this was the case, the warm pavilion was full of girls from the military attache and noble families, and they didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, no wonder Yuqian and Yufang couldn't stay still.

However, it was said that Yufang and Yuqian followed Ding Lin, the daughter of the Shoufu family, to another pavilion in the garden, where there were many young ladies comparing talents, as well as the piano group, the poetry and painting group, and the chess and tea art offices.

Meiyuan's talent competition is not as formal as in other places, but it is just a self-entertainment between daughters.

The first one will report to the lady in the hall, and the duchess will have another reward, but for the banquet to have fun, there are also those who choose daughters-in-law from the house.

Therefore, in order to marry highly, the daughters of some low-ranking families cut off their brains and wanted to raise a jackpot at the Plum Garden Banquet in exchange for the blue eyes of the housewife.

There is that don't want to come true, and the more exciting girls have seized the opportunity to participate in the plum garden banquet to show their talents.

The old lady of the Jiang family pretends to be a century-old family, but in fact, she has only made a fortune in the past twenty or thirty years, and her background is a little worse than that of the nobles in Beijing, so she is more interested in the talent education of her daughters in the family, thinking that she can make the girls in the family soar to the sky with their talents.

Therefore, Yuqian and Yufang are quite accomplished in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is much higher than Yujing, who specializes in the royal family.

This is also another reason why they don't look down on each other, while sneering at their lack of learning and skills, and on the other hand, they can't get used to their pretentiousness, coupled with the identity of An's stepfamily, the contradiction is more and more irreconcilable.

This is a foreign language, but it is said that Yufang and Yuqian entered the circle and looked at it for a while, and they also had itchy hands.

Yufang said to Yuqian: "Big sister, let's participate too, if you can raise a jackpot and get the appreciation of your lady, it will not be difficult to fly on the branches." ”

Yuqian was a little moved, although she didn't report much hope, but she could have a name in Beijing, not to mention that it was easier to do family affairs, and her grandmother was also happy, right?

The two chose the piano group, but they didn't bring the piano.

When he was worried, the maid who was in charge of delivering the news on the side said, "Don't make trouble, two young ladies, we have some pianos in the garden." ”

The two were overjoyed and thanked the maid again and again.

After the two of them took the name and repertoire from the piano newspaper, they sat quietly and waited for themselves.

When it was Yufang's turn, the song "Good Night Introduction" was played.

After the song was finished, the pianist who was the judge above nodded and said, "The song is short and long, pleasant and interesting, not bad." It's just that I'm a little impatient in fingering, but if I can stabilize it, I guess I can go further. ”

It's Yuqian's turn, and the song is over.

The noisy girls next to them also quieted down, and after a while, the pianist said: "Cao Wei is not in the future, and it is difficult for celebrities to protect themselves, Ruan Ji sighed: The road is not good, and it is not in line with the times." Therefore, he was interested in wine and composed this song of "Wine Mania". Everyone who has no experience in this song can't play the artistic conception, but I didn't expect Miss Jiang to pop up the arrogance and self-satisfaction in it. ”

Yuqian smiled slightly, gave a gentle salute, and did not say a word.

Ding Lin asked on the side: "Whose girl are you?" ”

Yu Qian glanced at her, recognized that it was the person who was not quite right with Yu Jing in the warm pavilion just now, smiled, and said, "The little girl is Jiang Yuqian, the eldest daughter of the household servant Jiang Shilang's mansion. ”

Ding Lin looked her up and down, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect Jiang Yuxuan, who doesn't learn and can't learn, to have such an excellent sister, no wonder she never mentions it outside, I'm afraid that if I say it, I feel that I don't know how to learn." ”

Listening to the other party's ridicule, Yuqian lowered her eyes, remembering that An's specially told her to "win and lose everything", but she was unwilling to open her mouth to say good things for Yujing, so she only smiled at Ding Lin, turned around and sat back next to Yufang.

Ding Lin was curious, and someone around her gently lowered her ear, and she suddenly realized that she glanced at Yuqian sympathetically.

It turned out that she was begging for a living under her stepmother, so it was no wonder that she played the song "Wine Mania" into the wood, and it also relieved her embarrassment.

Yufang happily said to Yuqian: "Big sister, you can be in the limelight today, see if the two of them dare to show us face." ”

Yuqian smiled: "Whatever they do, let's just take care of it, and let them be proud for a few more days, I don't know who laughs at the end." ”

Yuqian became famous with a song and won the jackpot of the piano art group, and the news spread to the flower hall.

Duchess Xinguo said to An's family: "Sure enough, it is the Jiang family of poetry and books, and your eldest lady has superb piano skills and won today's jackpot." ”

An Shi heard that Yuqian won the jackpot, although it was not her own daughter, but it was also a matter of giving the head of the Shilang Mansion a face, and said with some relief: "Thanks to Mrs., it is just a girl's hobby, and it is far from everyone." ”

There was a stammering one in the seat, and said: "Mrs. Shilang is too humble, I heard that the girls in Shilang's Mansion are beautiful, but I didn't expect that they would be better." It's a pity that I don't have a kid in my family, otherwise I will definitely have to pull my wife to talk to your in-laws. ”

Everyone laughed, and this person's words were also opened, and Mrs. kept coming over to inquire quietly: "I don't know how old the eldest lady is?" Can you allow someone? ”

An also had the heart to propose marriage to Yuqian, and answered them one by one.

When the girls were competing in the garden, some teenagers secretly gathered in the forest next door.

This is also an open secret, the young girl is in love, and she secretly takes a look, as long as she doesn't make trouble, the elders will also turn a blind eye.

When Yuqian's song "Drunkard" sounded, the young man in the forest who peeked at the girls' talents quieted down.

After the song, a young man said: "I don't know which girl has such piano skills." ”

Another humane: "Hearing the sound and knowing the person, this girl must be a person with a furrow in her chest." ”

Someone is more well-informed: "She is the eldest daughter of the family of the household servant Jiang Shilang." ”

Yuan Chun was also among them, frowning: "Is it Jiang Yuxuan, who is empty and beautiful, but has no ink on her chest?" ”

The other party said: "No, it's the eldest daughter left by Jiang Shilang's wife, who is said to be called Jiang Yuqian." ”

Yuan Chun sighed: "No wonder I can play "Wine Mania" into three points. Begging for a living under her stepmother, Miss Jiang must have worked a lot, right? ”

An Chuanwu and Cao Pengyun were also in the crowd, and when they heard the meaning of Yuan Chun's words, they seemed to say that An was mean, and they were immediately unhappy.

Cao Pengyun said: "My aunt has always been kind, and treats Miss Jiang as if she were her own, you go and inquire, if there is my cousin and cousin, there is only a lot more for Miss Jiang!" ”
