Chapter 219: The Art of Discerning People
Mingshuang heard this, but she just turned around and smiled at her, turned around and looked down at Xie Ning again.
Gu Sui felt bored, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but followed her line of sight and fell on Shainin.
Xie Ning had never played the piano before, and now sitting on the piano bench, he was a little timid. A pair of hands were only on the black body, but they did not pluck the strings.
"Oops," Mingshuang suddenly exclaimed, turned around and took out a small box of armor from the dark compartment in the corner of the study, opened it and handed it to Xie Ning, "This is what the prince specially ordered earlier." The slave almost forgot, young lady, put it on first. But he didn't help Shainin put it on with his own hands.
After waiting by her side for many days, Shaining's temper Mingshuang can still be figured out, and since she noticed her actions in everything, Mingshuang has a sense of proportion in her heart. In the past, it was just to help with trivial tasks.
Ten fingers put on the armor one by one, and Xie Ning plucked the strings twice apprehensively. Although the movements are very rusty, the timbre flowing from the fingers is loud and full of energy.
Mingshuang couldn't help but smile and reminded: "Miss, your strength is a little heavy. ”
Xie Ning had listened to Wei Chengcheng's recital, so he naturally knew what was wrong with him, and after bowing his head slightly at her, he turned to pluck the strings again.
Adjusting the strength between her fingers little by little, Xie Ning was only very glad that she had a keen sense of hearing at the moment, and the nuances that others could not hear were extremely clear to her.
Because of this, it took a lot of effort for her to play a pleasant and pure tone. And the frost and ears of grain standing on the side were slightly puzzled on their faces.
"Miss is already playing very well, I guess I will be very surprised when the prince comes over in the afternoon." Mingshuang smiled, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the carving in the room, obviously counting the hours.
Xie Ning followed her gaze and looked back, only then did he notice that noon was approaching, so he got up and said, "Then let's eat first." ”
Now the three meals in the martial arts hall are all prepared by Xiaoyue and Aoyagi leading the cook. When Shainin arrived at the dining room, dishes and chopsticks were already set on the table.
Not much. Qin Feng walked in from outside the door.
Xie Ning had heard the movement before, and he was still guessing who it was, but now when he raised his head, he put on a moon-white brocade robe. Qin Feng with a smile in his eyebrows.
Rao is like this, but it is not difficult for Xie Ning to notice the two blue and black patches under the other party's eyes. Standing up and taking a closer look, I saw that the other party was trying to hide his exhaustion.
Qin Feng only thought that she was getting up to greet her, so he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and quipped: "Didn't you say a long time ago that you should not be polite?" How. Could it be that you were so respectful because you were lazy yesterday and were afraid of my punishment? ”
Xie Ning's gaze fell on his face, but at this time, he couldn't laugh out loud, and he didn't want to pretend to reveal the matter casually, so he asked directly: "I don't know what Brother Ziyue did after returning to the house yesterday?" ”
As soon as she said this, Qin Feng couldn't feel anything abnormal, his eyes flashed at the moment, and he explained perfunctorily: "There are too many backlogs at hand, and I slept late yesterday, so you don't have to worry." ”
Shainin frowned. looked at Qin Feng helplessly, and said with a bit of bitterness: "You have just recovered from your old illness, so you still have to pay more attention now." In the future, if you can't finish these things, you can save them for tomorrow. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to practice the piano. But if you burn your body, I'm afraid that Banxia will come over to complain about me. ”
"Heh," Qin Feng chuckled lightly when he heard this, but there was an obscurity in his eyes, and he casually reached out and flicked the hem, and said while sitting down: "Don't worry, I can handle it now." ”
I don't know what it is. It's worth Qin Feng's hard work. If it's really a big deal, she doesn't want the other party to delay because she wants to guide herself.
Of course, Xie Ning could see his perfunctory, and he had the heart to say a few more words, but it was inconvenient for the other party to say it because of the presence of everyone in the hall. I had no choice but to sigh secretly, and picked up the chopsticks without saying anything.
After eating this meal, Shainin was very unaware. After Yu Guang saw Qin Feng put down the chopsticks slowly and methodically, she immediately stood up from her seat and said urgently, "Brother Ziyue, why don't we go to the study first." I'll try to play two notes first. How about you listen to it? ”
Qin Feng looked at her flushed face for a moment, and for a while, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he responded calmly, and then followed her to stand up and enter the study. But he turned around and looked at her with a clear gaze, "Say it." ”
Xie Ning closed the door at the back, and seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, he didn't hide it anymore, and said directly to Qin Feng: "Now that you are running back and forth, it is too hard to work. I thought that this piano art is not difficult, and you have something to deal with, so I will learn it by myself for a few days. When you're done, it's not too late to teach me again. ”
"It's fine." Qin Feng bowed slightly.
Xie Ning didn't expect him to answer so happily, so that the draft he had deliberately typed was useless, so he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded heavily: "Hmm." ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to play a few notes," Qin Feng's eyes fell on the piano stand in the middle of the study, and he raised his finger at Xie Ning and said, "You go and try it." ”
"Okay," after practicing all morning, Xie Ning was not very frightened at this time, he walked to the back of the piano stand and sat down calmly, put on his armor, and played with it a few times.
The sound of the piano was in his ears, although it was not a tune, but Qin Feng couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, and his black eyes didn't blink, as if he was afraid of missing something.
After a while, Xie Ning withdrew his hand, raised his eyes to look at Qin Feng, and asked with a smile, "How?" ”
Qin Feng did not hide the appreciation in his eyes, and said, "Not bad." I didn't expect you to be quite talented in piano skills. ”
Xie Ning was overjoyed when he praised him, and a pair of round apricot eyes bent up in an instant.
"However," Qin Feng suddenly glanced at her thoughtfully, and said tentatively, "I don't know if the martial arts you have learned are beneficial to playing the qin." ”
Xie Ning became more and more happy when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "I think so too." Brother Ziyue doesn't know, I have a keen hearing, and I am very good at distinguishing sounds. ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and then said with a clear expression: "When Ruyifang guessed the dice before, it was precisely by virtue of this way that you realized that they had set up a scam." ”
"That's right," after his reminder, Xie Ning also remembered the things in Ruyifang, and immediately echoed: "I can distinguish the points thrown by the dealer by listening to the sound." That's why. I should be nine out of ten when I place a bet. But later, I noticed that the result was different, and after several observations, I was convinced that the other party was secretly making trouble. ”
Shainin's voice fell. Qin Feng couldn't help but glance at Xie Ning deeply. The two of them stood and sat together, but the distance was not too far.
It can even be said to be extremely close - Shain, who is looking up at this time, can see the well-defined eyelashes on the other party's eyes and face.
There was a flustery for no reason, Xie Ning subconsciously frowned, and was about to say something to ask. But seeing Qin Feng suddenly leaning down, a figure that became clearer and clearer was reflected in his pupils, and he looked at her with blazing eyes and said, "Ah Ning, have you ever thought that the martial arts you have learned can be used to do a lot of things?" ”
The other party's tone was subdued and frustrated, not as sparse as usual. Xie Ning was suspicious, and for a while, he didn't even notice the distance between the two at this time, but raised his hand and touched his chin. After thinking about it, he replied, "There are many things that can be done." It's like now, I can instruct the dart masters and apprentices in the hall to practice, right? ”
Qin Feng glanced at her and said, "What else?" ”
"And ......" Xie Ning frowned slightly, and searched his stomach ********. Qin Feng saw her racking her brains in his eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes, and only after a moment did he speak slowly: "When I was reading when I was a child, I once read in an ancient book the skills of Jinyi Guards of all dynasties and dynasties. I think it's good for you. ”
As he spoke, he turned and walked to the bookcase on the side, grinding ink and laying paper. He picked up the pen and wrote, bowed his head and recited while writing: "Listen to the words, listen to their words, and the words are poor; The second is to listen. Looking at its color, Liqu is red-faced and red-eared; The three are angry and listen, listen to their breath, and the grievances are not smooth; Fourth, the ears listen, judge their hearing, and reason is not clear; Five, eyes and ears. Looking at his eyes, Li Qu's eyes flashed. Even if you can hear the dice, surely this will not bother you, right? ”
After speaking, he hurriedly hung the pen in his hand back on the pen stand, and moved two steps to the side, so that Xie Ning could come over and take a closer look.
Xie Ning stood in front of the big characters on the table, looking at Qin Feng's unusually familiar and chic handwriting, for the first time he had no interest in appreciating it, but put all his attention on the content of the paper and savored it.
Seeing that she was thinking, Qin Feng didn't bother with anything. It wasn't until her eyes lit up that she suddenly raised her head, and he spoke up again: "These five are the art of distinguishing the truth from the false in people's words." I mention this to you, but not on a whim. ”
Qin Feng's voice paused slightly, and he glanced at Xie Ning meaningfully, "A-Ning, you are straightforward, and you don't like to think too much when you encounter problems. The people in Beijing are unpredictable, and if you continue like this, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be used by others that day. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. Sometimes the truth and falsehood in other people's words cannot be distinguished intuitively, just like Gu Qingyun. ”
The end of Qin Feng's words was very long, which made Xie Ning, who had not heard these three words for a long time, couldn't help but stagnate in his heart.
Gu Qingyun.
In fact, looking back, the other party did not do anything directly to her, and even on many occasions, she had to take the initiative to protect her.
It is said that Xie Ning should not have any resistance to Gu Qingyun, but as long as she thought that the other party wanted to build momentum for her marriage with Qin Feng, she would waste the efforts of Gu Qin Feng and the people in Yan Wuying, and attribute all the achievements of Yandi's suppression of bandits to herself, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
And when she was in Fuwei Temple, although she had specially reminded herself to be careful of Xiang, Xie Ning still couldn't help but feel bad for her.
After all, in the final analysis, the reason why Gu Qingyun came to warn was also based on the premise that the other party mistakenly thought that Qin Feng was happy with her.
Xie Ning used to be her sister, and although the relationship between the two was not as close as her and Wei Tingcheng, Xie Ning thought that he was sincere to her.
But now it seems that these are just wishful thinking on her part.
After the incident in Fuwei Temple, she couldn't help but think, if Gu Qingyun didn't realize that Qin Feng was fond of her, would she say anything more after she learned that the Xiang family intended to design herself?
intersected, and at this time she didn't even know what kind of person the other party was. Before and after people, there are not two faces.
Thinking of these old things for a moment, Xie Ning couldn't help but shudder, and when he raised his head again, he happened to meet Qin Feng's concerned eyes.
She actually understood what the other party meant by what she was talking to. There are some words that Qin Feng doesn't have to say directly, Xie Ning himself knows it in his heart.
After all, she doesn't want to be stupidly used or deceived by others. For a person like Gu Qingyun, it was enough to appear by her side once.
Xie Ning sighed secretly in his heart while silently reciting the words that Qin Feng had just written. At this moment, Qin Feng's advice came from his ears again.
"Also, you should be careful about your words and deeds. After all, the slightest clue can reveal some clues, and if you don't hide anything like you, isn't it just that all your thoughts are clearly written on your face. ”
When Xie Ning heard this, he said straight out without thinking: "Brother Ziyue is too worried, and I am just doing this in front of you." In front of others, I naturally won't be happy and angry. ”
Her sincere words, Qin Feng listened to it very useful, and his face softened by two points, no longer the straight face when he was reasoning, but looked at Xie Ning with a smile and said: "It's good that you can distinguish it clearly in your own heart, so that I don't have to worry about it needlessly." ”
Xie Ning got his approval, couldn't help but smile, and then said to Qin Feng from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Ziyue, you are reasonable. I am indeed reckless, and sometimes when I am in a panic, people will see the clues. However, I will be more careful in the future, and I will not give people another chance. ”
Qin Feng's heart was calm, so he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight bow: "That's good." ”
At this time, Xie Ning had not yet taken off the armor on his fingers, and after reaching out and pressing the Shengxuan written by Qin Feng with Shi Zhen, he turned around and sat back on the piano, and said to Qin Feng with a smile: "I don't know the piano score yet, I wonder if Brother Ziyue can solve my doubts?" ”
Qin Feng's heart moved, and when he raised his head, he saw Xie Ning tilting his head slightly to look at him, obviously a playful move, but the expression on her face was extremely serious, and her eyes only fell on him.
It's as if her smart apricot eyes can only see him alone.
His heart suddenly became agitated, and there was a stream of heat flowing through his body, Qin Feng only felt a slight astringency in his throat, and he couldn't say anything to respond for a while, so he had to try his best to restrain himself, pretending to be calm and slowly walked in front of Xie Ning, before suppressing this hot and dry thought for no reason.
