"If someone comes forward after her, with a little bit of thought, she can easily win the applause of the house." Gu Qingyun's eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling brilliance, which was extremely moving.

Before Xie Ning could answer, Wei Tingcheng was puzzled and said, "Sister Gu, what does this mean?"

"It's not interesting," Gu Qingyun smiled nonchalantly, "It's just that I don't want to miss the opportunity." ”

"You're going to step forward later?" Wei Qingcheng couldn't help but whisper, and there was surprise in his voice that couldn't be concealed.

It's no wonder that she was emotional, as soon as Gu Qingyun's words came out, even Xie Ning was inevitably a little surprised, where was the intention of Xiao Mansion's banquet this time, everyone present was afraid that they all knew it, but Gu Qingyun chose to appear after Gao Yiyan - could it be that she also intended to do this?

There was a faint doubt in his heart, but Xie Ning didn't ask out loud. After all, she was in the Xiao Mansion at this time, and if she blindly asked, she would inevitably fall into the ears of others and bring inconvenience to Gu Qingyun. Second, she has no intention of this, and the only thing she cares about is the little girl Wei Tingcheng. As for Gu Qingyun, not only is she a few years older than Xie Ning, but she doesn't have to worry about it.

As they talked, the maid who had left earlier had walked in from outside the building, but behind them were two stout mothers-in-law, carrying a carved sandalwood case.

But seeing that the case was full of paper and ink, and there were all kinds of pens hanging on the sequoia shelf, I heard Gao Yiyan raise her voice and say: "The little girl will paint a picture here, and she should throw bricks and lead jade." ”

Regardless of anything else, Gao Yiyan's untwisted attitude alone can already make people feel a lot of goodwill. They all cast admiring glances. Mrs. Xiao was naturally no exception, smiling slightly, a pair of peach blossom eyes bent up with affection, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

What is Gao Yiyan's level, Xie Ning knows very well in his heart. Knowing that she did it on purpose, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and naturally withdrew his gaze, but he had a pale little face towards Shang Wei Chengcheng.

She paid attention to it, and Gu Qingyun, who was sitting at the same table, naturally didn't miss it, only to see her suddenly raise her eyes. His gaze went straight over Shainin. whispered to Wei Tingcheng: "Sister Wei, do you want to come forward with me?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Qingcheng looked stunned, but his face suddenly became a little more bloody. Subconsciously looked at Shainin.

Xie Ning didn't expect Gu Qingyun to make such a proposal. Although I was a little confused for a while. If you think about it, there is no need to refuse.

What's more, Gu Qingyun is a famous talented woman in Beijing. Even though Gao Yiyan is in front. But if Wei Tingcheng stepped forward with her, he would be brilliant again, and with this pearl and jade by his side, he would inevitably be overshadowed.

Thinking of this, Xie Ning's heart moved, and he gave Wei Chengcheng a look. The latter understood, so he also hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing two looming pear vortices, bowed his head slightly, and said in a cheerful voice: "I am willing, I don't know what Sister Gu wants to show with me?" ”

When Gu Qingyun heard this, there was also a hint of pleasure in her eyes, "Then it depends on what Sister Wei you are good at?" ”

I don't know if it's shyness or excitement, Wei Tingcheng's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and he said very embarrassedly: "I'm good at painting, so like Miss Gao, let's go forward and paint a picture." ”

"That's just right," Gu Qingyun gracefully picked up the teacup in her hand, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I happened to get a piano sheet a few days ago. Why don't you come up and paint, and I'll play the piano next to me? ”

"Hmm," Wei Tingcheng nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "I don't know what the artistic conception of Sister Gu's piano score is?" ”

"There's nothing special," Gu Qingyun was sipping with her head down, and when she heard Wei Tingcheng's words, she naturally raised her head and explained slowly: "It's just the sound of birdsong in spring, it's very ordinary, and it's only a cheerful tune, which is worth mentioning." ”

The two around them chatted warmly, but Xie Ning was a little bored listening. She had always been impatient with these complicated things, and she had no intention of viewing Gao Yiyan's completed paintings at this time, so she reached out and took the pastries on the table, and took advantage of the gap when no one was paying attention at this time, and ate them by herself.

"Miss Gao's painting, but it's done? How about giving me a taste? ”

Mrs. Xiao suddenly spoke, and Xie Ning hurriedly put down the pastry in his hand as a sign of respect, and sat up in an instant, looking in her direction with a focused expression.

As soon as her voice fell, a little girl in a green shirt walked out behind her, but she walked in the direction of Gao Yiyan, and in a flash, she presented the painting she had just made.

Feasting and drinking in the same place, everyone's seats are not far away. Except for Xie Ning and their table, which was a little remote, the other 20 or so women in the building had a clear view of this ordinary work. Xie Ning's eyesight is very good, and he raised his head slightly, but he also took a clear look at her painting.

Sparse branches, gorgeous red plums. Gao Yiyan's paintings are not questionable, but this painting technique is really a bit unbearable.

Xie Ning could see that Mrs. Xiao would naturally not be unclear, although she didn't say anything on her face, but when she looked at Gao Yiyan, there was a little less enthusiasm in her eyes - "The red plum painted by Miss Gao is really good, I don't know if everyone here, but there are still people willing to step forward?" ”

Although Xiao Yan has a bad reputation in Beijing, after all, he has the identity of the son of Shangshufu, and he is more handsome and has a chic temperament, but he is also the object of admiration in the hearts of many women.

What's more, Gao Yiyan lost in front of her, and everyone could naturally think of the twists and turns. It was Mrs. Xiao's voice that fell, and for a while, many women rose up.

"The little girl would like to come forward and smile at Mrs. Bo."

"Please also ask Mrs. Rong Xiaonu to step forward."

"I wonder if the little girl will have the honor to come forward and offer her ugliness?"

……

The women in the building staggered their voices one by one, and although Xie Ning was watching, he couldn't help but have a headache. When I looked around the building, I was a little amused to discover the fact that there were ten tables in the entire building, and except for their table, there were people standing up at the other nine tables.

When the words of these people fell, about a pillar of incense had passed, and Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She has a good ear, and although she can often hear the whispers of others, she has also suffered a lot from it—God knows when the hustle and bustle of the building is just now. How uncomfortable her ears were,

"Madam," just as everyone was quietly waiting for Mrs. Xiao to make a decision, a woman's voice suddenly came, instantly breaking the silence in the building, "The little girl also intends to step forward." I wonder if Madame will allow it? ”

"First come, first come, doesn't this young lady know the rules?" A standing woman in a blue shirt raised her head proudly, and looked at the sound, but she couldn't help but stop her voice, a long time later. Only then did he blush and said, "Gu, Miss Gu." You, you ......"

This person has been 'you' for a long time, but he hasn't come up with a result. Xie Ning glanced at her inadvertently, but when he saw that Mrs. Xiao cast a contemptuous look at her unabashedly, he instantly lowered the look in his eyes. Put on a smiley face. Turning his head to Gu Qingyun who was standing next to him, he said, "Then please Miss Gu come first." ”

Mrs. Xiao's words fell. The women who stood up sat back on their seats one by one, obviously knowing that the bright moon was ahead, and the light of the candle did not dare to compete with it.

Gu Qingyun's fame. Who doesn't know in Beijing? Not to mention her identity as the prime minister's concubine and Shuangquan's talent, let's just say that the recent rumor in Beijing has made the people present who have seen or have not seen her curious.

"It's Miss Gu."

"Since Miss Gu intends to step forward, I think we still don't have to fight with her, the class has an axe."

"Well, let's sit down."

"Hey, haven't you heard of it, there was a strange news in Beijing recently......"

"You mean that she went to Yunzhilou to guess the lantern for King An's trip to suppress bandits, right?"

"Otherwise, what else is going on?"

"Sister, you said that Gu Qingyun is so infatuated, how can King An be willing to lose?"

Therefore, there are not many people who listen to her carefully at this time, and the whispers below are endless, although the volume is not loud, it can add up to a lot, and when Xie Ning hears it, he can't help but cover Gu Qingyun's voice a little lower-"Mrs. Hui, this time, the little girl is going to step forward with this Miss Wei from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. ”

"Oh?" When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, looking at the two women standing next to each other at their table, with an interested look on her face, she took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if you have anything else you need?" ”

Gu Qingyun bowed slightly, and her tone was respectful and self-contained, "The little girl still needs a piano." ”

Mrs. Xiao saw her gesture in her eyes, and a meaningful look flashed in her eyes, but it was so fast that it was impossible to notice it at all. Xie Ning raised his eyes to look, but when he saw her smiling slightly, he looked sideways at the servant girl standing next to him and ordered, "Go and get the Jiaowei qin in my room." ”

"Scorched Tail...... It's actually Jiaowei."

Although Xie Ning didn't know what a precious thing this Jiaowei Qin was, she could also get a glimpse of it from the discussions of the women around her. What's more, when this Mrs. Xiao treats Gu Qingyun, her words and attitude are obviously closer than before.

As an elder, he borrowed the piano he used on weekdays. Presumably, Mrs. Xiao should also appreciate Gu Qingyun very much.

At this time, the piano called Jiaowei had already been carried into the building. Xie Ning's gaze did not fall on the qin, and everyone gave out high or low admiration, but looked thoughtfully at Gu Qingyun, who had already pulled Wei Qingcheng to everyone's eyes at this time, and was worried.

She originally thought that Gu Qingyun was acting steadily, so she only paid attention to Wei Qingcheng, but she never paid attention to the other party. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Gu Qingyun is even more blue-eyed by Mrs. Xiao.

Gu Qingyun is so exquisite, if she doesn't want to come forward today, I'm afraid that among the people in this building, even Mrs. Xiao will personally invite her, and she won't be able to take the initiative to come forward. What's more, she has a deep affection for Qin Feng, and would rather take the opportunity of Yun Zhilou Yinuo in exchange for the other party's peace, how could she come to participate in this Hongmen banquet in Xiao Mansion?

But now that she is so positive, could it be because Qin Feng was disheartened that she gave up on herself? chose to come to Xiao Mansion for a banquet, was it because he was in a moment's rage, and he wanted to take Xiao Yan, Qin Feng's bosom friend, to take revenge on him?

Xie Ning's mind was full of questions, and after a period of cranky thinking, when she came back to her senses, she realized that Gu Qingyun and Wei Chengcheng had already done their own things. Two shadows, standing side by side, one is a soft shade of red, the other is a bright and gorgeous orange, one sits on the piano, the lower eyebrows continue to play, and the other stands next to the desk, with both wrists lightly moving the light and dark descriptions.

"This Miss Wei is actually painting with both hands!"

The low-pitched and weak sound of the piano came slowly, and Xie Ning could still hear the voices of the people around him. When she looked up, she saw Wei Xiaomei holding two paintbrushes, which seemed to be coloring on the paper effortlessly, but the serious look between her eyebrows and eyes could be recognized by Xie Ning at a glance.

I still remember that when the two first met, Wei Xiaomei seemed to be very interested in this painting art. Such a person who is afraid of being shy would take the initiative to talk about it for a small trick, and after discovering the truth that Xie Ning didn't know anything about it, he also offered to ghostwrite for her.

Thinking of the past a few months ago, Xie Ning couldn't help but smile. Just as she staggered her gaze and was about to bow her head to take a sip of tea, her eyes suddenly swept and she caught a glimpse of a gray shadow.

Traceless!

Familiar with this lightning-fast figure, Xie Ning will never admit his mistake. But what made her strange was that the other party appeared suspiciously at the door of Lanyue Tower, what was the purpose?

With this episode, Xie Ning was in no mood to appreciate the cheerful tunes that resounded all around, and the paintings sketched by Wei Tingcheng were not within her scope of concern.

She was obviously sitting in the middle of the building, but the intoxication in the building had nothing to do with her. She didn't bother to listen to any clear or slight movements, nor did she pay attention to anyone's mannerisms, but with round almond eyes, she was now looking intently in one direction—the outside of the building

Fortunately, the summer is hot and sultry, and although a banquet is held in the building today, Shangshufu thoughtfully opens the door for ventilation.

His eyes looked out without blinking, but Xie Ning didn't see the familiar figure without a trace anymore, so he had to withdraw his gaze, raised his hand and rubbed his sour eyes, giving up the intention of trying to find the other party.

The cheerful tunes are still ringing non-stop, from childhood to adulthood, and those happy fragments suddenly emerge in front of me. Some even had a childhood that Shainin himself had never remembered before...... The woman in the cloth dress hummed softly, and suddenly lowered her head and smiled, reflecting the other party's gentle eyebrows. At that time, her father was also very young, and his face was smooth, and he did not have the beard that he grew later, and he would carry her up and down the camp, and her mother would stand aside and look softly, not speaking, but just like a painting.

Xie Ning couldn't help but close his eyes and plunge into the good memories of the past. At this moment, a sudden "Zheng" sound pierced the eardrum, and the music stopped abruptly.

Xie Ning suddenly came back to his senses, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the music came from. But seeing Gu Qingyun stand up with a stunned face, she said in a stunned tone: "The string is broken." ”

A broken string is an omen, and Rao knows something about Xie Ning, who doesn't know anything about piano skills, not to mention everyone present. (To be continued.) )

PS: Throw bricks and lead jade, guess what, what is Gu Qingyun calculating?
