Chapter 33: Unpleasant

"How can there be such material in the capital? This was given by the queen last month, and I heard that it was a new product from the Western Regions. The woman who spoke was the second daughter-in-law of the current prime minister, Lan, the cousin and niece of Empress Dexian, and she touched the lake-green dark flower brocade on her body with a proud face, and said proudly, "The whole Liang is the only one!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Xiangyun veil on Xia's body again, looked at the few light figures on the lookout, and chuckled, "Why is it that your mansion is wearing Xiangyun veil except for Mrs. Shizi?" Xiangyun yarn is rare, but this material is too thin, and it is just right to wear in summer, but at this time it is a little thin, and the dew is big at night, so be careful of cold. ”

Xia Shi suddenly held a bad breath in his heart, and it was not easy to attack, so he just smiled.

At the front desk, the nobles of the Yongding Marquis Mansion were ready, and a bead curtain slowly fell, reflecting those bright figures behind the bead curtain.

In particular, the figure wearing a bright red floor-length dress was particularly eye-catching, seeing her sitting in front of the guzheng, calmly plucking the strings, and the steps between her temples swayed gently with her movements, although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could feel the woman's elegance and calmness.

Immediately, the crisp and melodious music flowed calmly throughout the Water Moon Xuan, and all the people suddenly looked awe-inspired.

The Eighth Prince originally didn't sit at Mu Yunting's table, but when he saw that Xia Yunchu was also there, he also sat down by the way, and saw Mu Yunting looking at the woman on the stage expressionlessly, and teased: "If you say that you are versatile and have to be a woman of a family, you must be gentle and virtuous, isn't it Hongyuan?" ”

"Well, the women of the family are indeed versatile." Mu Yunting looked through the shaking bead curtain silently, and saw the figure with the board and eyes caressing the qin, and couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he didn't dare to agree with the gentle and virtuous lady, was there a gentle and virtuous woman who shouted at her husband without showing weakness and sneaked out to climb the wall?

Xia Yunchu listened to the song intently, his fingers tapped on the table with the beat, his fingers trembled in a moment, as if he sensed something, his eyes couldn't help but quietly look at the figure again, sure enough, she understood him, the high and tide parts of the second part, not the traditional right and left presses, but both hands grasp the strings together, so that the whole timbre becomes more full and deep.

His heart couldn't help but stir.

This year's "Phoenix Blossom Moonlight Night" is really different from previous years.

"Ming Qi, this year's "Fengming Flower Moonlight Night" is much better than last year!" Huang Fuchen smiled lightly, "Compared to previous years, Mrs. Hongyuan's guzheng is better!" ”

"That's true." Xia Yunchu retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Mu Yunting, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said in a ghostly manner, "I want to play a song with Mrs. Zun, I don't know if Hongyuan minds?" ”

Huangfu Chen looked at Mu Yunting gloatingly, clapped his hands and said, "This is really an interesting thing. ”

"As long as Xia Shizi doesn't dislike Neizi's piano skills, it's okay." Mu Yunting frowned.

While speaking, the last note of "Phoenix Singing Flower Moonlight Night" fell perfectly.

The Mu sisters all breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged gratifying glances with each other, and stepped forward to take a curtain call.

Just about to leave, I saw a delicate and upright figure walking outside the bead curtain, blowing Yuxiao sprinkled, the tone was mellow and soft, blowing a "Moonlight Song", just need the guzheng ensemble to play.

The rest of the people understood, glanced at Shen Qingli with different expressions, and retreated without saying a word.

People are clearly going to play with the guzheng.

Instead, Mu Yu nodded quietly at Shen Qingli, signaling her to deal with it with confidence.

In the past, there were also Lang gentlemen who heard that the song on the stage was playing well, and volunteered to come up and ask for a discussion, but if they were embarrassed, it would not be good.

Shen Qingli understood, returned to the guzheng and sat down, and couldn't help but caress the strings with both hands, and played skillfully.

I have to admire the original owner, even this sudden challenge can be easily achieved.

The light-hearted and cheerful music once again flowed in front of everyone.

"Shen Lang really worked hard and taught his granddaughter so well." The Queen Mother looked at the delicate figure behind the bead curtain with satisfaction, turned her head to look at the Huangfu clan, and said with a smile, "Jinyu, this time I let you take the lead and set Shen Lang's granddaughter." "Such a woman should enter the palace as a concubine.

"Shen Langqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are fine, and he will naturally be strict with his children and grandchildren." Huangfu smiled, did not answer positively, and then frowned and said, "It's just that it's okay to have leisure and pastime for elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if you talk about supporting your family, it will be difficult." ”

Although the Shen Mansion has the name of a scholarly family, the days are not as good as a year.

Over the years, she has seen it in her eyes.

"Alas, a few years ago, it was only forced by the shape of shì, and the children of the family could not be reused, but now I am a Liang monarch and minister, and the court is peaceful. The Queen Mother understood, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Although the mourning family can't be involved in politics, if there is an opportunity, I will mention this matter to the emperor, let that Shen Ke enter Beijing and enter the office, and let the people of the world see how our royal family is grateful for the teacher's kindness." ”

"Although the Queen Mother is not involved in politics, she has the world in her heart, which is really a blessing to the people of Daliang!" Huangfu praised.

The two looked at each other and smiled, the Queen Mother's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the Mu sisters who had already sat down, and asked: "Your second mother is becoming more and more smart, I don't know if there is a favorite candidate at the moment?" ”

Although Mu Yao is a concubine, she has been raised by her mother-in-law all these years, and no matter her character and appearance, she is top-notch among the daughters in the house.

"Who you like?" Huangfu smiled and sighed again, "Over the years, since the Su family was raised to the right family, I rarely ask about the affairs of my children and grandchildren, but I pity the two children left by my daughter-in-law who died early, so I decided the marriage of their sister and brother, who knew that Yu Niang would have such a thing, alas......"

"Jinyu must not blame herself, you can be blamed for Yu Niang's matter, who would have thought that a good boy could suddenly have an emergency." The Queen Mother also sighed, was silent for a moment, glanced at the princes again, and said, "I know that I have always been cautious about the granddaughters' family affairs, for fear that they will follow in the footsteps of Yu Niang, it is better to give Yao Niang to us the royal family." After a pause, he touched the expressionless eyes of the Huangfu family, and said, "Our eighth child has also reached the age of discussing relatives, this child has a straightforward temperament, although he is a little more publicized on weekdays, and he needs a safe person to remind him, I think he is a good match with Yao Niang." ”

"Thank you for the queen mother's kindness, it is her blessing that my Yao Niang can enter the palace as the princess." Huangfu smiled, and quietly glanced at Huangfu Chen, who was sitting with Mu Yunting, she always thought that Mu Changyuan's only concubine, Mu Yu, had not been able to enter the palace as a concubine, and the other daughters were even more impossible, but the queen mother was optimistic about Erniang Mu Yao.

Since the Queen Mother is the matchmaker herself, there is a chance that this matter will be decided like this.

Here, Mu Yunting looked coldly at the two people who cooperated seamlessly on the stage, and couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart, not how much he liked that woman, but that woman was his wife after all, so in front of everyone, he was a little unhappy with the flow of playing with other men.

Although, the matter was done by him with a nod of his head.
