Chapter 20: Making Friends (2)
Out of the Hefeng Courtyard, through a long corridor, turn a corner, and then pass a pavilion, Huancui Pavilion will arrive.
Entering the Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qinglan finally knew why Ye Qingfu was full of jealousy when she mentioned this.
Compared with the magnificent Changhetang, Huancui Pavilion is much smaller, but it is exquisite and beautiful. In the small courtyard, there are many flowers and trees. Obviously, there is a special person to take care of it, and it seems to be staggered. As far as the eye can see, the furnishings are exquisite.
Zhixia led the way with a smile, quietly looking at Ye Qinglan's face.
is also the daughter of Changyuan Bofu, Miss Ten and the noble Miss Six, the situation is thousands of miles apart. No matter who it is, it will not be a taste in my heart! But Miss Ten looked as usual, and her demeanor did not show half envy, but it was also secretly admired.
There was a clanging sound of the piano.
Ye Qinglan listened intently for a moment, and secretly admired in her heart. Although she has no research on the guqin and is purely a layman, she can also hear the smooth and melodious sound of the qin, which is very beautiful. Ye Qingning also has a bit of pride.
Turning through the small hallway, you will arrive at the piano room.
Ye Qingning was sitting behind the bead curtain and bowed his head to stroke the piano, obviously hearing the footsteps, he didn't look up, and still concentrated on plucking the strings.
Ye Qinglan didn't mind, she stood aside with a smile and listened attentively.
The scene of a beautiful girl stroking the piano is naturally pleasing to the eye. Even if this girl is arrogant and difficult to get close to, it will not prevent Ye Qinglan from being in a good mood at the moment.
After the song was finished, Ye Qingning finally raised his head.
"Sixth sister is really good piano skills. Today, I finally know what it means to be around the beam for three days. Ye Qinglan sent praise in a timely manner, with a sincere expression and amazed eyes, not to mention how useful it was.
Ye Qingning smiled reservedly, obviously in a good mood.
Ye Qinglan was well aware of the truth that she would receive it when she saw it, so she didn't continue to pat herself on the back, and instead opened the topic: "Does the sixth sister have to practice the piano every day?" ”
Ye Qingning nodded as a matter of course: "After taking a nap every day, it's just two hours of practice." ”
Two Hours...... Nothing more?
An hour is two hours, and two hours is four hours!
Ye Qinglan's surprised expression was too obvious, Ye Qingning was a little funny, and glanced at her: "What's the fuss." I started playing the piano when I was six years old, and I practiced three or four hours a day. In the past two years, the time to practice the piano has been a little shorter! ”
Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "The sixth sister is so persevering, it is really admirable. If it had been me, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. ”
Ye Qingning smiled lightly, didn't say much, and lowered his head to stroke the piano.
Ye Qinglan automatically and spontaneously found a chair and sat down.
Zhixia lightly brought the refreshments, and said in a low voice: "Miss Ten, please use it slowly." After thinking about it, he reminded in a low voice: "If Miss Ten is bored, the slave can accompany Miss Ten around the Huancui Pavilion." ”
Ye Qingning has to stay in the piano room for at least two hours, and he hates to be disturbed by others at will. Even if the maids are waiting on the side, it will feel that the time is long and extremely boring.
Ye Qinglan smiled, but didn't say anything.
Listening to the melodious sound of the piano, admiring the beauties, drinking fragrant tea, and exquisite refreshments...... This afternoon tea is really extravagant.
One of the two lowered their heads and stroked the piano, and the other sat leisurely and drank tea, and time slipped away so slowly.
Ruixue also calmed down, and kept standing quietly aside, at most taking advantage of the sideways to change her position slightly.
After listening to it for a long time, Ye Qinglan gradually heard the clues. Ye Qingning kept playing the same piece repeatedly, obviously practicing. Are you planning to show your hand on your grandfather's birthday?
The sound suddenly missed a beat.
If it was in normal times, Ye Qinglan might not be able to hear this subtle wrong sound. But I have listened to the same tune dozens of times, and the tone has long been familiar to me. This rare mispronunciation immediately became harsh.
Ye Qinglan unconsciously whispered "Huh".
The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.
Ye Qingning frowned slightly, and said a little impatiently: "If you think it's boring here, just go out for a walk." "For no reason, he was angry at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan finally understood what moodiness is. It was fine just now, but in a blink of an eye, it turned sunny and cloudy with thundershowers, and the contrast was too great!
If it were a thin-skinned person, I was afraid that I would have gotten up and left in shame. However, Ye Qinglan's psychological instinct has always stood the test, and when she heard this, she smiled and said: "I am listening to the rise, where can I be willing to leave." ”
Ye Qingning's pretty face was teased by her with a hint of a smile, and her expression softened a lot.
Ye Qinglan said with a smile again: "After practicing the piano for so long, it's time to rest for a while!" It's never too late to take a sip of tea and practice. He poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
With such a courteous smile like a flower, Ye Qingning couldn't get out even if he had a bad temper, so he took the teacup with a smile and got up.
Zhixia and Ruixue breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Ye Qingning's face suddenly changed, startling the two of them together, lest Ye Qinglan couldn't stand it with her thin skin. Fortunately, Ye Qinglan is good at coping, and she is light and round.
After drinking tea and eating some snacks, Ye Qingning's mood seemed to improve a lot.
Ye Qinglan smiled intentionally or unintentionally: "Sixth sister, this song is so familiar, she must have practiced it for a long time." ”
Such a familiar tune, but I played the wrong note. What's even more strange is that she only sighed softly, and Ye Qingning turned her face.
What was Ye Qingning thinking when he stroked the piano just now?
Ye Qingning smiled slightly, and replied casually: "I haven't practiced for long, it's only about half a month." But he didn't say a word about the mispronunciation just now.
Ye Qinglan was so transparent and clever that she immediately smiled and opened the topic.
The two have a small talk without a match, which is not a cold scene.
A little maid walked in and whispered a few words in Zhixia's ear. Zhixia nodded, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss, the housekeeper over there in the kitchen sent someone to ask, how to prepare dinner?" ”
The question is very subtle, in fact, it is to say, it's not early, do you plan to leave Miss Ten for dinner.
In normal times, there is no need to ask this question at all. Except for a few aristocratic ladies who have a good relationship, Ye Qingning almost never leaves anyone to eat in Huancui Pavilion.
Today, though, seems a little different. Ye Qinglan stayed in Huancui Pavilion for a whole afternoon, and had a very happy conversation with Ye Qingning. Looking at Ye Qingning's expression, he didn't seem to hate this Miss Ten!
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment, then heard Ye Qinglan say with a smile: "I've been staying for so long, it's time to go back." If the sixth sister doesn't dislike it, I will come often with a thick face in the future. ”
Such a well-informed and knowledgeable girl who knows how to advance and retreat is really impossible not to have a good impression.
Ye Qingning nodded with a smile.
