Chapter Sixty-Eight: Going to the Banquet to Make a Storm
Xue Zhao followed Nangong Yu into the corner gate, Nangong Yu said something to a little maid, and the little maid saluted and ordered, "Yes, Young Master Yu, the slave will go." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said that the little maid actually raised her head and glanced at Nangong Yu a little shyly, and then turned around and ran away.
Nangong Yu didn't notice the little girl's expression at all, he turned his head to look at Xue Zhao, and said with a smile, "Sister Yu, there is no place in such a big garden as Nangong Mansion that can compare to the scenery of Sister Fengming Pavilion." ”
Xue Zhao smiled when she heard this, and said, "The Fengming Pavilion was built by Brother Lin. ”
Nangong Yu's smile narrowed, and he asked in a low voice, "Was it built by Lin Gongzi specifically for his sister?" ”
Xue Zhao nodded lightly, only to hear Nangong Yu say again, "Sister Yu, if you like it, Yu'er can also build you a big courtyard, which is better than Fengming Pavilion, are you willing?" ”
Xue Zhao's face was solemn when he heard this, and he said, "Yu Gongzi, Xue Zhao sees that you have a chic and straightforward personality, and treats you like a younger brother in her heart. When I met the old lady, Mr. Yu must not be so open-mouthed. ”
Nangong Yu saw that Xue Zhao's face was slightly gloomy, and immediately grabbed her arm and begged, "Sister Yu, Yu'er said it casually, don't be angry, okay?" ”
Xue Zhao saw that his temper was still like that of a child, so she was a little soft-hearted, and she couldn't bear to blame him anymore, so she had to nod, and the two of them still walked forward.
Nangong Yu walked into a large garden with Xue Zhao, and the pavilions and pavilions in it were all exquisite and gorgeous. Walking through a small winding bridge, you will arrive at a small boxy pavilion in the center of the lake. The eaves of the small pavilion flew up into the sky, the windows were opened on all sides, and the plaque in the middle read the words "Qushui Pavilion", and the wine banquet had been arranged inside, and the old lady was waiting there with two gorgeously dressed women and several servants.
Nangong Yu stepped forward to salute the three of them and said, "Grandma, mother-in-law, sister-in-law Li, I invited Sister Yu here!" As he spoke, he turned around and smiled and pulled Xue Zhao closer to him, his movements were intimate and undisguised. Everyone in the room was slightly surprised when they saw it, but they didn't show it on their faces, only Nangong Yu's mother and prince frowned slightly unhappily.
The old lady didn't care, stepped forward and grabbed Nangong Yu and Xue Zhao's hands and let them sit beside her, with a smile on her face, and ordered the servants to have a banquet.
She introduced the two women in front of her to Xue Zhao, and Xue Zhao had seen them one by one. The older middle-aged woman was Nangong Master's wife Wang, and her daughter-in-law, that is, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the old lady, Nangong Yu's eldest brother, Nangong Yuan's main room, Yi Yongli, was standing on the side.
When the old lady saw Yi standing aside, she beckoned to her and said, "Li'er, Miss Yu is not an outsider, she doesn't talk about any rules today, you can sit down, we can talk casually." ”
Yi listened to Xie Ruyi, and then sat down.
At the beginning of the banquet, the old lady and the Wang family thanked Xuezhao again, and then several people began to talk and chat.
The old lady looked at Xue Zhao and asked, "Miss Yu is young, and her medical skills and piano skills are so good, but are they family heirlooms?" ”
Xue Zhao said with a smile, "The old lady praised it falsely. Xue Zhao followed the housekeeper uncle to identify medicinal materials since she was a child, and later came to Tonghetang before she began to learn medical skills with Dr. Ren. As for the piano skills, it was taught by Xue Zhao's father. ”
The old lady listened and said, "It turns out that the piano skill is Miss Yu's family heirloom, no wonder my grandson can't find good strings in the city, but only Miss Yu has it." Miss Yu's father specializes in chopping the qin, and Miss Yu is very smart, so do you know which master Yu'er's Luoxia Qin came from? ”
It turned out that the name of the piano was Luoxia, and Xue Zhao thought to herself, why she had never heard her father mention it. Xue Zhao shook her head lightly and said, "Old lady, Xue Zhao is not good at learning and can't see it. ”
"Oh." The old lady nodded with a little disappointment. She turned her head to look at Nangong Yu again, "Yu'er, today we set up a banquet to express our gratitude to Miss Yu, you come to pour Miss Yu a drink!" ”
Nangong Yu immediately stood up happily when he heard this, picked up the wine jug and walked towards Xue Zhao, he poured a full wine for Xue Zhao, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Xue Zhao, with a smile on his face, and said, "Sister Yu, Yu'er toasts you with a glass of wine, thank you for curing my grandmother's headache!" Seeing this, Xue Zhao had to stand up and drink the wine he handed her, but Nangong Yu poured another glass and said with a smile, "This second glass of wine, I want to thank Sister Yu for helping my Luoxia rewind and relieve my great difficulty!" ”
Xue Zhao didn't want to drink anymore, and when she saw Nangong Yu's expectant look, she had to pick up the wine glass again and drink it all. Nangong Yu clapped her hands and smiled, "Grandma, Sister Yu is actually a heroine among women, and the amount of alcohol is so good!" ”
The old lady nodded with a smile, and said to Nangong Yu dotingly, "If you have anything else to say, let's finish it at once, Miss Yu is a girl's family after all, and it's not good to drink too much wine." ”
Nangong Yu begged with a smile again, "Grandma, Sister Yu knows how to play the piano, and she must be good at playing the piano, I want to ask Sister Yu to come to the house to teach me how to play the piano, okay?" ”
Xue Zhao excused himself, "Xue Zhao is only a shallow learner, it is really difficult to take on this position, Yu Gongzi laughed." ”
Nangong Yu didn't back down, and went to pull the old lady's sleeve and begged, "Grandma, my Luoxia has been broken for a long time, Sister Yu helped me change the strings and tune the tone, grandma hasn't heard its voice for a long time, today I will ask Sister Yu to play a song and try a new string, how about it?" ”
The old lady laughed at him, so she had to turn her head to look at Xue Zhao and asked, "The old body has indeed not listened to the piano for a long time, I wonder if Miss Yu would like to play a song for the old body?" ”
Xue Zhao saw the old lady speak, and it was inconvenient to excuse herself, so she had to nod. Nangong Yu immediately instructed the waiting maid, "Quickly go to my room and bring my Luoxia!" The maid took the order and left, and Nangong Yu instructed in the back, "Be careful!" ”
After a while, the maid brought Luoxia to her, and a servant woman had already brought a piano table and placed Luoxia on it. Everyone looked at Xue Zhao with smiles, and she had to stand up and say, "That Xue Zhao is ugly." ”
I saw her sitting with her bare hands, playing lightly, a song "Yangchun White Snow" came out quietly, the piano sound was like a heavenly sound, the first work "Yangchun", such as all things know spring, and the wind was light, and the later work "White Snow" sounded awe-inspiring and clean, with a variety of snow and bamboo, and everyone present couldn't help but listen to it stupidly.
The old lady listened to the sound of Xuezhao's piano, looked at her demeanor of stroking the piano, her body trembled slightly, her eyes were full of tears, she held the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, and wanted to call out "Jing'er" in her mouth, but swallowed it back hard.
After Xue Zhao finished playing the song, Nangong Yu first clapped her hands and smiled, "Sister Yu not only has the skill of chopping the piano, but also plays the piano very well!" As he spoke, he turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, please ask Sister Yu to be my master, okay?" ”
The old lady pressed her eyes with a silk handkerchief and said with a smile, "The old man may not have heard such a wonderful sound of the piano for a long time." My Yu'er has loved to play the piano since she was a child, I wonder if she can give advice in her spare time? ”
I only heard the eldest lady Wang laugh from the side, "Yu'er, you are still young, you don't understand accidents, and you don't know the severity of jokes, how can you withstand your pestering of a daughter who is so gentle and demure as a girl, and because of your face, I think it's better to forget it!" ”
Nangong Yu became anxious when she heard this, so she pestered the old lady and said, "Grandma, grandma, can't I not joke nonsense?" Please, Grandma! ”
The old lady was shaken by him, so she had to wave her hand and say, "Okay, okay, I'm dizzy from being shaken by you!" Saying that, she smiled and asked Xue Zhao, "The old body listened to this song just now, it was very good, the old body had heard someone play it in the early years, this song is called Yangchun Baixue, Miss Yu taught this song to Yu'er, can you?" ”
The old lady's words have come to this, how dare Xue Zhao refuse, so she had to stand up from the piano table and say, "Xue Zhao is not talented, thanks to the old lady's appreciation, Yu Gongzi is smart, I am willing to give it a try." ”
When Nangong Yu heard this, he was already very satisfied, so he saluted the old lady with a smile.
When Xue Zhao returned to the table and sat down, Nangong Yu was next to her, "Master!" Master! He screamed and pulled Xue Zhao to drink a few glasses of wine with him. Because the old lady is the only favor, Nangong Yu is like a baby bump in the house, and everyone gives him three points. Seeing that he was elated, the others could not bear to spoil his interest, and did not disperse until the sun went down.
