Chapter Thirty-Six: Friendship Through Joy
The man in red didn't expect Xia Xue'er to take the initiative to pick up the wine glass, and even drank it all without hesitation, in order to escape his request, in fact, none of the people present expected such an ending, and they were stunned for a while. It was the man in red who reacted first, and laughed heartily a few times before complimenting: "The third lady has a bold personality, and the amount of alcohol is not bad, I admire it!" ”
Xia Xue'er didn't speak, just raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, listening to the tone of his words, it seemed that she would not end the matter so lightly.
"Just ......"
As expected, I heard the man in red speak slowly: "Today, the second young master is holding a poetry meeting, how can it be done without poetry?" The third lady is so hasty, I'm afraid she is perfunctory to all of us!
Everyone who was silent before now turned their eyes to Xia Xue'er. Although some of them will think that the man in red's actions are really aggressive and not a gentleman's doing, they want to see with their own eyes whether the famous Miss Xia Jiayan is really worthy of the name, so no one stopped them, and they only had an expression on their faces that they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the show. Xia Xing's face is not very good-looking, but because the other party is a guest who came to celebrate his birthday and his status is unusual, he has been holding back and not venting.
Xia Xue'er glanced at the people outside the pavilion without hurry, the eyes staring at her were full of eagerness, some flashed with curiosity, and some were waiting...... With a faint smile, Fang Cai replied without hesitation: "This son's words are wrong, the little woman just said that if you can't compose a poem, you can't replace it with a song, and the piano has been stroked, so how can you say it perfunctory?" And this aftermath has not subsided, Childe is so aggressive, can it be said that Childe is trying to repay the debt? ”
Speaking of the sound of the piano, the previous boy in Tsing Yi, who loves music theory, couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "The sound of the third lady's piano is touching, and it seems that you can still hear the lingering sound at this time!" ”
Then, he turned his body to look at the man in red, arched his hand first, and then said: "I have traveled to many places in Xia, and there are not a few songs I have heard, including the delicate tenderness of southern songs, and the broadness and boldness of northern music. Looking down, no matter north or south, there are few people who can compare with the piano skills of the third lady today, not to mention that the third miss is still young, and it is the pride of heaven to have such an achievement! With all due respect, the word "perfunctory" is really inappropriate! ”
The man in red frowned and glanced at the person who said this, only to find that he had not seen this person before, and he didn't know where this person came from, although he was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend lightly, so he ignored it, just looked at the girl in the pavilion and said: "The people sitting here today are destined to meet here because of the third lady, and this is a poetry meeting, as a birthday star, chanting two lines of poetry should not be a problem for you to be the third lady of everyone's lady, right?" ”
As soon as the man in red's voice fell, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the man in Tsing Yi, he frowned slightly, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes, but before he could open his mouth to refute, Xia Xing answered: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, and although the sister is proficient in poetry and literature, she is more proficient in piano skills." It is precisely because today is the birthday of the sister, and everyone is taking time out of their busy schedules to celebrate their birthday, it is not easy to gather here, so we should show the best things to everyone. As for poetry, who is not an expert who is full of economy and top-notch? And when it comes to piano skills, who dares to ask who can say that my third sister is not as good as you? ”
After speaking, Xia Xing moved his gaze to the man in red, and asked with a smile: "Can the prince agree with this judgment?" ”
Although Xia Xing said politely, his gaze did not hide the burning anger in his heart, which really had some deterrent effect, in addition, the man in red also felt several burning eyes from his side looking at him, all of them were waiting to see how he ended.
So he could only clear his throat in embarrassment, and replied reluctantly: "What the second young master said is reasonable. ”
Xia Xing retracted his gaze and suppressed the flame in his heart. In fact, he has been unhappy for a long time, Xia Xue'er is not only the heart and soul of his father and mother, but also the pearl of his and eldest brother's palms, no one has ever dared to force his sister to do what she doesn't want to do, let alone in front of his second brother, today it is because of the special situation that he has endured it without having a seizure, and let the man in red be presumptuous for so long!
Xia Xue'er was standing next to Xia Xing, and she could naturally detect the fluctuation of the second brother's love for the first time. After a few rounds, there is now a strange wave surging in the entire plum garden, and the surrounding air is constantly getting cold and slowly solidifying, and the originally vibrant plum garden has become lifeless, and many people have lost their interest in enjoying the plum blossoms for a while.
"It's true that writing poetry is not my specialty, but it's not impossible, but since it is not necessary, then why waste everyone's time by saying it!" After a pause, he said: "I still have something to do, I have to go first, everyone continue, don't be discouraged by me!" ”
After that, he whispered a few words to Xia Xing before saluting and saying goodbye. Xia Xue'er walked resolutely, completely ignoring the reluctant eyes outside the pavilion.
Looking at the back of Xia Xue'er leaving, those who wanted to see Xia Xue'er's demeanor and those who wanted to show off their talents in front of Xia Xue'er all looked at the man in red who was still standing. If it weren't for him, Xia Xue'er wouldn't have left in a hurry just a moment after arriving, and they wouldn't have lost the opportunity to win the favor of the goddess!
The man in red felt the unfriendly gaze gathered on him at this moment, and some people were complaining in a whisper, so he could only sit down and drink alone.
Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Xia Xing hurriedly came out to warm up, "Little sister is leaving, so we don't have to be restrained, we should compose poems and poems, we should drink and drink, we can't live up to this beautiful scenery and wine, right?" If you allow it, I'll throw bricks and jade to improvise a song first! ”
"Good, good!"
The poems will continue, the poems will be recited, the wine will be happy, and it will not be lively!
On the other side, Xia Xue'er hadn't walked out of the plum garden before she was stopped.
"Third Miss, please stay!"
Xia Xue'er turned her head and saw that it was the man in green clothes who had helped her relieve her at the Fang Cai Poetry Conference, so she stopped and turned around to wait for his next step.
The man walked quickly to Xia Xue'er, and very politely bowed to Xia Xue'er with his fists before he spoke: "Listening to the song of Miss Three strokes the piano today, I am deeply shocked, and I want to communicate with Miss Three about music theory and piano skills, I wonder if Miss Three has time to pay attention to it?" ”
Xia Xue'er had a good impression of this person before, and saw that the other party's attitude was sincere, not like a fake, so she smiled slightly and replied politely: "In this way, today's song Xue'er is Maxima meeting Bole!" ”
The man in Tsing Yi was a little flattered when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the third lady has an overreputation, and can only be regarded as a confidant and confidant in music." ”
Xia Xue'er always had a polite smile on her face, and after seeing the frightened look of the man in front of her, the smile on her face unconsciously deepened, more magnificent and dazzling than the red plum.
The atmosphere became lively, and Xia Xue'er said slowly: "I haven't asked for the name of my son yet." ”
"Thanks to the love of the third lady, in Xia Suhan, it is just a cloth clothes, not enough to worry about."
Hearing the word "cloth clothes", Xia Xue'er looked him up and down with exquisite eyes, then shook her head and chuckled: "Looking at the child's outfit, it is not like that of ordinary people, and looking at the child's temperament and attitude, it is not something that the children of the family can have, if you want to say that the son is a cloth clothes, I don't believe it!" ”
Then, Xia Xue'er put away the smile on her face, looked directly at Su Han with sharp eyes and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, who is Childe?" ”
Su Han looked at Xia Xue'er's eyes that seemed to say "Don't want to lie to me", and couldn't help but sigh in his heart Xia Xue'er's good eyesight to know people, then smiled lightly, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "Okay, as you think, I am indeed not a child of an ordinary family, but I am not a child of a noble family, I am a person in the rivers and lakes, but my specific identity is inconvenient to disclose, please forgive the third lady." ”
After hearing this, Xia Xue'er said with a stern face: "Since you regard me as a confidant, then you shouldn't be deceived!" Then he looked at Su Han's embarrassed look, snorted and laughed, and said: "I'm scaring you, there can't be deception, but reasonable concealment can be saved, who doesn't have a little secret!" ”
In her opinion, in the final analysis, there are only three kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, the first is the good people, the second is the evil people, and the remaining one is the people who only look at the interests. It is said that a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, and Xia Xueer's fiery eyes are even more accurate! She could be sure that Su Han was definitely not the second kind of person, so what did it matter to her what his true identity was?
Su Han was really deceived by Xia Xue'er before, and there was a burst of guilt in his heart, but now he looked at the woman in front of him with a smile on his face, and he didn't mind him hiding her true identity at all, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of maturity and arrogance in Mei Youting, he was a little dazed for a while, and said unconsciously: "You, you are really a child!" ”
"What?" Because Su Han's voice was too small, Xia Xue'er didn't hear it clearly.
"In the next place, the third lady smiles beautifully."
Xia Xue'er's face unconsciously flushed after hearing this, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while, Su Han also noticed this, and explained with a little embarrassment: "I mean...... Forehead...... I'm just complimenting you, and I don't have any other ideas! ”
Xia Xue'er didn't answer, but said: "Since Childe likes music, I have a few ancient music scores......
"Can you lend me a look?" Before she could finish speaking, Su Han interrupted her excitedly.
Xia Xue'er didn't expect Su Han to be so impatient, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Childe said so, can I still say that I can't?" ”
Su Han's eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go!" After speaking, he walked towards the exit of the plum garden, walked a few steps, and found that Xia Xue'er did not move, so he stopped and turned back and asked, "Didn't the third lady want to show me the ancient score?" Why don't you go to the library? ”
Xia Xue'er explained with a smile: "Childe misunderstood, the scroll is not in the library pavilion, he is listening to Yuxuan." ”
"Then let's go listen to Yuxuan, please ask the third lady to lead the way!"
When Xia Xue'er heard this, she thought to herself that Su Han shouldn't know that Tingyuxuan was her residence, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, and was about to explain, but when she looked up at Su Han's impatient appearance, she swallowed her words back again, and motioned for Cuizhu to walk in front of Su Han and lead the way.
Su Han threw himself on the ancient score, so the two of them didn't talk all the way, they just rushed to the road, Su Han had a big step, so he naturally left Xia Xue'er behind him gradually, Cuizhu could only trot in front to guide him, and soon arrived at Tingyuxuan.
Obviously, Su Han is not a fool, he only has the ancient Tibetan music score in his heart, so he didn't feel anything different along the way, and now he entered the courtyard gate of Tingyuxuan, looking at the layout design of the small courtyard and the people cleaning in the courtyard, he realized that something was wrong, so he stood up and did not move forward.
There was a cheerful footstep in the corridor, and someone behind him shouted: "Fourth Miss, slow down, watch your step!" ”
After a while, Xia Qiaohui, a little naughty, appeared in everyone's sight, holding a small kite in her hand.
When Su Han saw Xia Qiaohui, he realized that he had really entered the backyard, and Xia Qiaohui also saw Su Han, no longer running around with a kite, but stopped, looked at Su Han with a curious face and asked, "Who are you?" How did you end up here? ”
Su Han was embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to answer her, so he hesitated and said, "I ......"
Xia Qiaohui's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Xia Xue'er coming later, she didn't wait for Su Han to answer, so she jumped up and ran towards Xia Xue'er, "Third sister!" You're back, and you've been waiting for a while! ”
Xia Xue'er squatted down and grabbed Xia Qiaohui, touched her little face and asked, "Why is Qiaohui here?" ”
Xia Qiaohui said obediently: "I miss the third sister, and my aunt agreed to take me to listen to Yuxuan to play with my sister!" ”
Xia Xue'er frowned slightly, looked up at Dongmei who was standing behind her sister and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's true that Aunt Li came with the fourth lady, but ...... Behind...... Li Gongzi is also here......"
Xia Xue'er knew that this matter would not be so simple, and she didn't say anything, just turned her head to look at Su Han. Su Han was breaking into the backyard and didn't know what to do, when he saw Xia Xue'er looking at him, he hurriedly said before she could speak: "Since the third lady has a guest, then I won't bother and say goodbye." ”
Xia Xue'er hurriedly exited and stopped: "Su Gongzi wait." ”
Su Han turned his head, and Xia Xue'er said apologetically: "I said that I wanted to give Gongzi an ancient score, how can I break my promise, if Gongzi is inconvenient, you can wait here for a while, and I will let the maid send it out in a while." ”
Su Han's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he replied happily: "That's very good! Immediately, he respectfully saluted Xia Xue'er and said, "There is Miss Laosan, I am grateful!" ”
Xia Xue'er didn't speak, bowed her head slightly as if to return the salute, and then walked along the corridor to the wing. Xia Qiaohui glanced at Su Han and followed Xia Xue'er and walked away from each other. Su Han stood at the end of the corridor, looking at the shadow that was gradually moving away, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "This girl is quite interesting!" ”
