Situ Yan originally just wanted to listen to the piano and eat tea, after all, she was forced to go to the banquet, and she didn't want to perform any talent in front of others and compete for any fame. And seriously, she doesn't have anything to perform, and the ones she knows are all plagiarized from what she learned in her previous life, not real talent.

But at this time, Cao Ying, the wife of the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, was carried out, and the Duchess praised again, she is now chasing ducks to the shelves, she has to play if she doesn't play, and she has to play if she doesn't act.

Cao Ying saw that Situ Yan hadn't made any moves for a long time, and she was even more proud in her heart, thinking that Situ Yan was from a small family, how could she be proficient in music and rhythm. Several daughters' families were also watching the play on the side, and their private anger was all vented on Situ Yan's body, and some even talked about it.

It's just that their pretentious posture is like a clown jumping off the beam in Situ Yan's eyes, which is extremely ridiculous, if it is just these people talking about cool words, she will not waver at all.

But the Duchess of Guo sat on it, with a face that wanted to watch a good show, which made Situ Yan feel a little indignant. "It's your son who is pestering me, but now he wants me to be angry and guilty!"

On the contrary, Gongsun Yu's face was calm, no one knew better than her how much talent Situ Yan had, after all, even her grandfather Gongsun Ming was full of praise for her. Even if Situ Yan doesn't know the rhythm, she can write poems and lyrics, which is still a talent.

Situ Yan sighed, she didn't want to perform, but if she didn't do something right now, even Situ Jin would be looked down upon, so she had to get up and salute, "It's rare that the Duchess of the Kingdom has this Yaxing, and the little girl is willing to cheer for the ladies, but the little girl is touching the twenty-one string piano." This lyre, please forgive the little girl for not being able to do anything! I had to write a poem to add some color to this chrysanthemum feast! ”

"Miss Situ is slow, this is hard to hide her talent if she doesn't practice. This twenty-one string piano, my mother happens to treasure one, but I am afraid that Miss Situ will use this as an excuse, and she will not dare to caress me and wait for me to hear it! Cao Ying's words are exactly what the Chinese Duchess wants, although she doesn't know the rhythm, she loves to collect. Not to mention the twenty-one strings, even the fifteen-string ones, she also has several.

Chiyu looked worried. whispered in Situ Yan's ear and asked, "Miss, the slave maid will make the qin disappear!" ”

"Wait! Anyway! Situ Yan glanced at Chiyu gratefully, this guard was loyal. I'm thinking about her.

"That's very good. Please ask the Duchess to borrow the piano! Situ Yan borrowed the piano, and several people who calculated her were happy in their hearts, thinking that Situ Yan was tricked, and they were just waiting to see a good show.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to take the piano, Cheng Feng on the other side of the lotus pond frowned, "Zhongxian, Ling Mei really knows how to stroke the twenty-one strings, but if you don't know how to pretend to understand, you will fall into someone's trap?" ”

"It's good that it's Fuqin. The sister is not talented, but she is still proficient in piano skills! Situ Jin really wasn't that worried. He knows best how the little sister is playing the piano. As early as in the northwest, the little sister celebrated his birthday, and he had already played a song for him, and now he wants to hear the sound in his ears, and the beauty is indescribable in words.

"Ziheng, why do you look so comfortable, if Miss Situ makes a fool of herself at this time, I'm afraid that things between you and her will become more and more difficult?" Mu Yi was also worried about Situ Yan.

"Zichu, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about! Listen up! It's been a long time since I've heard Yan'er stroke the piano, and now that I think about it, I don't know whether to be angry with my sister-in-law for being troublesome, or to thank her for fulfilling me! Duanmu Xuan is really not worried at this time, he is waiting for his sweetheart to stroke the piano.

After a while, the nurse came over with a few rough mothers-in-law carrying the piano, "Miss Situ, this piano art is not something that can be played well just by talking, if you just want to save face, it is better to forget it, it is a small matter to lose face in front of all the ladies, and it seems that my country's government is not generous enough to treat people!" "Where is the Duchess of Guo thinking about Situ Yan, she just wants to let Situ Yan understand that Situ Mansion is not worthy of her Guogong Mansion.

"Although the little girl doesn't have amazing skills, she can still know a little bit about the piano art, how dare Mrs. Lao worry about me!" It's good or not, you know when you hear it, do you need to talk about your brother? The Duchess of Guo stepped on Situ Yan's forbidden area, it doesn't matter what she says, but she can't hurt her relatives at all.

There were tears in Situ Jin's eyes, and the little sister defended him everywhere, but he couldn't help anything except sit here. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he glared at Duanmu Xuan desperately, still unable to understand his hatred.

"Zhongxian, I'm sorry for you!" Duanmu Xuan hurriedly put away the intoxication on his face and bowed to Situ.

"You're sorry for Yan'er!" Situ Jin gave him a sentence angrily.

"Yes, I'm sorry for Yan'er, but I swear to God, today's event is only once, there will be no next time, you believe me!"

"Now that we are in the Guogong Mansion, who else can you trust if you don't believe it. Ziheng, if Yan'er can get out of the house today, I won't care about you, if Yan'er has any damage, don't blame me for not giving you face and making trouble in the Guogong Mansion! Situ Jin's words were not alarmist, he just thought so.

"If Yan'er has any damage, don't say that Brother Zhongxian wants to make a fuss, even I won't let it go!" Duanmu Xuan had already thought about it, if his mother did anything excessive, he wouldn't mind issuing an eviction order and sending everyone out of the mansion.

"That's what you said, no one forced you!"

"Willingly, how can you force each other!" Cheng Feng and Mu Yi understood what they said, they thought that Duanmu Xuan liked Situ Yan, although he was deeply affectionate, he didn't expect that he would make a big fuss about Situ Yan's mansion. The two glanced at each other, peeked into Situ Yan's heart, and restrained a little.

Just when several people were thinking about their hearts, the sound of the piano on the other side had risen. The flow of water between your fingers tugs at the heartstrings.

Situ Yan chose the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace", and she also wanted to sing her own heart, but now her mood is like the broken chrysanthemum, and she is hurt all over the ground by these people.

"Your tears, weak and wounded, the miserable white moon bends, hooking the past. The night was too long, condensed into frost, who was in the attic, cold and desperate. The rain flicked gently, the vermilion window, my life on paper, was blown by the wind. Dreams are in the distance, turning into a wisp of incense, drifting away with the wind, your appearance. The chrysanthemums are broken, the ground is full of wounds, and your smile has turned yellow. The flowers fall and people break their bowels, and my heart is quiet. The north wind is chaotic and the night is not shining, and your shadow is constantly cutting. Leave me alone on the surface of the lake in pairs.

The flowers have been late, falling brilliantly, on the withering world, the fate is unbearable, the sorrow is not to cross the river, the autumn heart is split in half, I am afraid that you will not be able to go ashore. Shake for a lifetime. Whose country, the sound of horses' hooves is crazy, and I am dressed in a military uniform. Whistling vicissitudes. The sky is slightly bright, and you sigh softly, a night of melancholy, so tactful. Chrysanthemum remnants. Wounds all over the ground. Your smile has turned yellow, the flowers have broken your bowels, and my heart is quiet. The north wind is chaotic, the night is not rising, and your shadow is constantly in front of you. Leave me alone on the surface of the lake in pairs. ……。 ”

At the end of the song, Situ Yan glanced at the other side of the lotus pond, she was tired, at least for this moment. Her heart was so tired.

No one made a sound on either side of the lotus pond, and everyone was still immersed in Situ Yan's piano music. And Duanmu Xuan's mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time. He broke Yan'er's heart. That pain is a thousand times more painful than a knife wound.

And Cheng Feng was already drunk, and he was so drunk that he forgot where he was. Mu Yigang's peeping heart, which was still restrained, was teased again. Only Situ Jin sighed lightly, if he changed places and listened to such a song, he would also be infatuated, but at this time, he was more worried about his little sister.

And where is there anyone still speaking up from the ladies here, a few young ladies who play the piano have their heads very low, and their piano skills are not even as good as one-tenth of Situ Yan. And some young ladies who painted and wrote breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Situ Yan's talent did not conflict with them.

And Cao Ying and Mrs. Guo were surprised, with a look of resentment, they calculated and made things difficult in every way, and finally became her wedding dress and icing on the cake.

The nurse was even more angry and her face turned green, she came up with this idea, but now she seems to have helped Situ Yan. Jiang is still old and spicy, although the Duchess of Guo is angry, her face quickly calmed down, and she forced out a smile and praised Situ Yan.

"Miss Situ's song is really amazing, it opens my eyes, I don't know who Miss is taught by?"

"Please forgive me, Madame, the family teacher doesn't like the world, and strictly orders the disciples not to mention his old man's name outside!" Situ Yan's excuse has been tried and tested repeatedly. Sure enough, the Duchess of Guo was not good enough to ask each other again.

Although an embarrassment turned invisible, where could the ladies still sit, after all, their daughters lost and didn't even have face left, so they got up and said goodbye, and this "chrysanthemum banquet" became a performance for Situ Yan alone. But to be able to survive safely, Situ Yan is already very happy.

After leaving the Guogong Mansion, Chiyu kept sending the Situ brothers and sisters back to the mansion, and then went back to give the master his life. "Chiyu, thank you for today!"

"Miss Situ is serious, where the responsibilities of her subordinates are, and she deserves Miss's thanks!"

"It's a duty, but it's also sincere, and this thank you comes from the bottom of my heart. It's a snack I made, and it's not a good thing, but it's a gift from me, and you can't say no! "Whether Chiyu is really waiting for her, of course Situ Yan understands it. She makes her own dim sum, but she doesn't give it away at will.

"Miss Xie Situ reward!" Chiyu really fell in love with the future young master's wife, she didn't even look down on the Duchess in her bones, but she had a good impression of Situ Yan, not to mention, she was full of admiration.

"Thank you for me!" Situ Yan only left a sentence in the end and entered the mansion. Chiyu was stunned when she heard this, she didn't tell Situ Yan that she was the old master's person, and she didn't think that Situ Yan could even see through this.

In fact, it's really not Situ Yan who sees through it, she remembers that Mo Feng said that even a mosquito around Duanmu Xuan is a public, Chiyu will naturally not be Duanmu Xuan's person, and there is only one person in the Guogong Mansion who can mobilize the iron-blooded guard except Duanmu Xuan. So naturally, I want to thank the head of the Guogong Mansion.

In the study room in the outer courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, the father and son drank tea with their heads down, "Xuan'er, that little girl's craftsmanship is really good, even her father, who has never eaten sweets, even ate two pieces of chrysanthemum cake!" ”

"Yes!" Duanmu Xuan was a little absent-minded, just now he wanted to send Situ Yan back to the house, but she refused, and now he can only sit here and be in a hurry.

"Okay, you only think about that little girl, your mother was disgraced by that girl today, you should accompany her more these days, lest that girl will be angry with her mother-in-law after entering the house!"

"Father, you help me persuade my mother, although Yan'er is not from a famous family, she is not much better than those vulgar fans. Why does my mother have to value any family, our Guogong Mansion is already in a high position, can it be that if you marry those people, you can be promoted again? ”

"My father can only help each other in secret, if you come openly, I'm afraid your mother will jump to her feet!" The old husband and wife have been for so many years, what kind of character is his wife, how can Grandpa Guo not know. He can't help either.

"Hey! The father didn't know that Cheng Feng was already interested in Yan'er, but now that he has listened to that divine comedy, I'm afraid that his son will have another rival in love! ”

"It's not you who asked for it, knowing that he is interested in that girl, you still invite him to come over!"

"Where he was invited by his son, he came uninvited. I can't wait to hide Yan'er, otherwise if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be tortured to death! ”

"You Lao Tzu is still alive and well, you dare to talk about whether you are dead or not, are you begging for a beating!"

"Father, please help my son! If my mother is like this again, I'm afraid Yan'er will be even more reluctant to marry me! ”

"Your mother just thinks that girl is from a low background, I asked the old man of Gongsun, Situ Boy has great hopes of participating in the 'Hui Examination' next year, if he can be the champion, this identity will naturally not be a problem. It's just that if you want your mother to accept it, I'm afraid you have to ask the emperor to marry you! ”

"That's right!" Duanmu Xuan has always been entangled in Situ Yan's background, if it is the emperor's marriage, even if Situ Yan is from a civilian background, his mother will not dare to object. But how to make the emperor excited, I'm afraid that the father and son will have to plan another one or two.

The two were talking, when they saw Mo Feng leading Chiyu in, "I've seen the lord, I've seen the young master!" ”

"Chiyu, how is Miss Situ?"

"Miss Situ has returned to the mansion safely. It's just that Miss Situ gave her subordinates some snacks, and her subordinates didn't know how to refuse, so they accepted it. Please also punish the Lord! "As an iron-blooded guard, but taking someone else's gift, this is not in accordance with the law.

"It's okay, this girl will also be your master sooner or later, you can take it! But that dim sum is a little bit old, it's really delicious! It was the first time for Chiyu to see the lord so greedy, and his good impression of Situ Yan deepened.

Duanmu Xuan saw that Chiyu turned around to leave, and hurriedly called people back, "Yan'er, does she have something to say to me?" ”

"Back to the young master, Miss Situ didn't have anything to tell the young master, but asked her subordinates to thank the lord for his help!"

"That girl is really smart, okay, you go down first!" Grandpa Guo looked proud, and glanced at his son, his future father-in-law was more popular than his son.

Duanmu Xuan was like a deflated ball, the whole person was wilted on the chair, where was there still half a point of high spirit.

"Okay, you still have to think about how to get the emperor to open his mouth to give marriage! At this time, the little girl is probably still angry, if you don't get cold for three or five days, where can she be angry! "What Grandpa Guo said is right, Situ Yan is angry at this moment.

She was not angry that she agreed to this Hongmen banquet, but she was angry that Mu Xuan was made difficult for her by his mother, although she finally saved the danger one by one, but she was extremely unhappy. When I returned to the house, I didn't even eat dinner and went to sleep. (To be continued......)
