Chapter Seventy-Eight: Appearance

The cherry blossom viewing feast is in full swing.

Mrs. Xu and Zheng sat together, laughing in a low voice. Mrs. Zheng also sat on the side, although she also had a smile on her face, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the smile is only floating on the surface, and there is even a trace of bitterness.

Seeing the girls one by one generously stepping forward to show their talents and getting bursts of applause, and then thinking of Gu Xiyu who was hiding in the pavilion and refusing to see anyone, Mrs. Zheng's heart was like knocking over the spice jar, with mixed tastes and any taste.

Next, it was Ye Qingning's turn.

Ye Qingning got up, the lotus step moved lightly, and the skirt barely moved while walking. This elegance and reserve, which can only be taught by strict boudoir etiquette, is also a necessary skill for the nobles of the family. What's more, Ye Qingning's appearance is very outstanding, a scarlet dress shines in the sun, and her skin is as white as jade.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Ye Qingning with a smile and nodded invisibly.

Out of the corner of Zheng's eyes, he saw Mrs. Xu's satisfied expression, not to mention how comfortable he was. Subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Zheng, and at this moment, inhumane pride and pride swept through her heart.

Ye Qingning sat down slowly, his slender fingers pressed the strings, and then a string of graceful and extremely audible piano sounded. Everyone suddenly secretly cheered in their hearts.

Ye Qingning seemed to be showing off his piano skills, and his slender hands were skillfully plucking the strings, his expression was extremely focused, exuding dazzling beauty.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but praise: "Sister Ning'er's piano skills are really good. ”

Zheng smiled modestly: "Sister-in-law has won the award." There are many people here today who are good at playing the piano. Ning'er is still far away! Don't talk about others, take Concubine Shen as an example, it was really a song that moved the capital back then. ”

Shen Qiuyu has lived in the Dingguo Mansion for many years, and the Zheng family and others are very familiar with her, plus Shen Qiuyu is also here today, so it is natural to blurt out.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mrs. Zheng, but said with a faint smile: "In my opinion." Sister Ning may not be worse than Shen Qiuyu back then. She called Shen Qiuyu by name, and there was not much respect in her tone.

Although Shen Qiuyu has a noble status at the moment, she can be just an orphan girl living in the Dingguo Mansion, but in the eyes of these famous ladies, she is nothing. Moreover, Gu Xinian refused to start a family because of Shen Qiuyu's insistence, which also made many relatives and friends feel uncomfortable. When it comes to Shen Qiuyu, it is natural that the tone is worse.

Mrs. Zheng was calm, and even pulled the corners of her lips and smiled.

I just don't know if her mood at the moment is really as calm as it appears on her face.

It is also strange to say that Shen Qiuyu has been married into the prince's mansion since she married. It has always been in-depth and simple, and rarely appears in such occasions. Why did you suddenly show up in the British Mansion today?

Zheng glanced at the figure sitting not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Eldest sister." Did she talk to you when she came? She also knows a little about the inside story of that incident back then. Because of Gu Xinian, the Dingguo Mansion never mentioned the name Shen Qiuyu. Over time, even they were rarely mentioned.

Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed. replied lightly: "She is very polite, she will greet me as soon as she sees me, and she will call me aunt as before." ”

Zheng and her sisters have been known for many years, so they naturally know her temper. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, she interestingly pulled the topic back to Ye Qingning.

Ye Qingning has played most of the song, and only listens to the sound of the piano by the lotus pond. Everyone was almost intoxicated by the intoxicating sound of the harp. Zheng's face lit up, and his smile grew stronger.

Although it was not intended to show off, Mrs. Zheng was deeply stimulated. The smile was a little stiff, the fingers were secretly clenched into fists in the wide sleeves, and the palms of the long nails were faintly tingling.

It would be great if his daughter could also appear on such an occasion generously. It's a pity that this is destined to be just an extravagant hope......

A hint of gloom flashed in Mrs. Zheng's eyes. I couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this moment, the two figures took advantage of everyone's attention to Ye Qingning's body. Quietly slipped from the back row.

Ye Qinglan was in front, Gu Xiyu followed behind her with her head down, she didn't dare to look up at anyone along the way, and tried her best to resist the urge to turn her head and run.

A lot of people, a lot of voices......

Her mind was blank, and she couldn't even hear what everyone was saying. I only felt that my breathing was getting shorter and shorter, fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead, and the palms I clenched tightly were even more slippery and greasy, all of which were cold sweats.

Ye Qinglan's low voice came: "Cousin Xiyu, don't be afraid, there are still a few steps to go." ”

Gu Xiyu snorted indiscriminately, but her steps became slower and slower. Ye Qinglan saw that the situation was not good, and held Gu Xiyu's hand without thinking.

Gu Xiyu's hands were slippery and wet and cold, and Ye Qinglan's hands were dry and warm.

Gu Xiyu paused and raised his head in a panic. She doesn't like others to be close to her the most in her life, and casual touch is a taboo. If someone else dared to do this, I am afraid that she would have lost her voice and screamed by now.

But the person who is holding her hand affectionately now is her only friend......

Ye Qinglan's eyes were warm and firm, and her voice was gentle and low: "Believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to." Now listen to me, breathe hard, and spit out slowly. Then straighten your chest and look ahead of your seat. ”

There seemed to be an inexplicable magic in that voice, and Gu Xiyu unconsciously did so. Take a deep breath, then a deep breath. Strange to say, the nervous and restless heart slowly slowed down.

The moment she mustered up the courage to look up, she was met by a pair of surprised eyes in disbelief.

Mrs. Zheng almost couldn't believe her eyes, and looked at the slender girl not far away in a daze, and only after a while did she open her mouth tremblingly: "Yu'er ......"

Sheβ€”Why is she here?

Zheng and Mrs. Xu were also taken aback, and quickly reacted, and opened their mouths at the same time: "Xiyu, come over quickly." ”

Facing a few familiar faces, Gu Xiyu gradually relaxed, smiled timidly, but did not move her steps.

Mrs. Zheng was surprised and excited, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Qinglan smiled and relieved Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, don't stand here, so as not to block the sight of others." As he spoke, he pulled Gu Xiyu forward.

Gu Xiyu couldn't help but walk over with Ye Qinglan.

Mrs. Zheng noticed the hands held by the two at this time, and couldn't help but be shocked again. Zheng and Mrs. Xu also noticed the intimacy between the two, and they were secretly surprised.

Gu Xiyu is notoriously withdrawn and eccentric, and she had such a fierce reaction when she was inadvertently touched by Zheng Min just now. But now, how can she let Ye Qinglan hold her hand? It's so weird......

Ye Qinglan turned a blind eye to everyone's surprised gazes, pulled Gu Xiyu to sit down with a smile, naturally let go of her hand, and smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "I saw that Cousin Xiyu was very stuffy in the pavilion, so I persuaded her to come over and join in the fun." Auntie, don't blame me for being a good advocate. ”

It's not surprising, I'm so happy!

Mrs. Zheng has never been so grateful to a girl as she is at this moment, and her smile is much more sincere than usual: "I really didn't expect Xiyu to fall in love with you so much." I will come with you. "Even she, a mother, may not be able to persuade Gu Xiyu!

Ye Qinglan smiled, refusing to take credit at all: "I am really ashamed of my aunt when she says this. It's Cousin Xiyu's bravery. As he spoke, he winked at Gu Xiyu. The little secret between the two is naturally tacit.

Gu Xiyu's heart felt warm, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Mrs. Zheng was indescribably happy and excited in her heart, but her face was a lot calmer, she smiled at Ye Qinglan, but didn't say anything more. But I secretly made up my mind. Since Gu Xiyu likes Ye Qinglan so much and is willing to listen to her, she has to think of ways to let Ye Qinglan stay by Gu Xiyu's side for a long time in the future......

Zheng's mood was a little delicate.

She was both happy for Gu Xiyu's change, but also faintly felt that it was inappropriate. Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning's family affairs have not been officially decided, if Gu Xiyu suddenly becomes better, it will not be good......

As expected, when Mrs. Xu saw that Gu Xiyu was willing to take the initiative to appear in front of the crowd, her heart suddenly began to come alive again, and she chatted with Gu Xiyu cordially.

Of course, Gu Xiyu still said very little, at most she nodded or hummed, but at least her expression was calm. She was born very well, and at this time she sat there obediently, her hands quietly on her lap, like a freehand ink painting.

Mrs. Xu's attitude became more and more kind and gentle.

Zheng's smile did not decrease, but his eyes darkened.

At this moment, Ye Qingning's song was finished, and Ying Ying got up to greet everyone. There was a burst of cheers and good cheers. Ye Qingning tried his best to hide the smugness and pride in his heart, but the look in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't hide it.

Ye Qinglan smiled and clapped her hands. Ye Qingning studied hard every day, and the results were really remarkable. Although she had heard the piece she had heard several times, she still felt amazing when she heard it today. You can imagine how people who listen for the first time will feel.

Zheng saw that his daughter was in the limelight, and there was a smile in his eyes.

At this moment, I don't know who came up with a few words: "Sister Ye's piano music is really good, but I heard that Concubine Shen was famous in the capital with her piano skills before she left the cabinet." I don't know who is better than the two of them? ”

Ye Qingning smiled.

Ye Qinglan was also very curious about who the girl who suddenly spoke out was, and couldn't help but look over. Only then did I find out that the other party was the beautiful girl who played the flute at the beginning.

This girl is obviously jealous because Ye Qingning is in the limelight, so she came to say this. Coincidentally, Concubine Shen in her mouth was also present. Hearing such words, I naturally couldn't sit still.

I heard a gentle and pleasant voice say: "Sister Qingning's piano skills are superb, much better than I used to be." ”――
