Chapter 153, Warm Invitation

Xie Mingzhu explained to Cen Hao Jinshu's intention. Cen Hao asked Jin Shu to stretch out his ten fingers, looked at it for a moment, sat down in front of the piano again, stroked the song "Spring and White Snow" just now, stroked it for a while and asked Jin Shu: "What do you listen to this?" ”

Jin Shuse shrank for a moment, and Changsheng encouraged her: "Shu'er, don't be afraid, Master Cen just asks you how you feel, and you can say whatever you think it looks like!" ”

Jin Shu nodded, blushed and whispered, "It's like the apricot blossoms in my aunt's yard." Cen Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, a child can hear this, not bad!" ”

Next, he stroked "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" again, stroked it for a while and asked Jin Shu what this looked like, Jin Shu, who was encouraged just now, frowned and said, "It seems that someone is unhappy." ”

Cen Hao's expression became more and more satisfied, and he said approvingly: "Yes, this child has a high level of understanding, slender and dexterous knuckles, and is the material for learning the piano. These days, you just need to follow Zijun to come. ”

Changsheng nodded, and the scholar brought the pestle and placed it on the stone table, and invited Xie Mingzhu and Changsheng to sit down and drink tea. Accompanied by Changsheng and Zijun, and seeing that the master looked amiable, Jin Shu was not so nervous, and under Cen Hao's guidance, the sound of untuned string plucking sounded intermittently in the small courtyard.

When the sun was in the west, Jin Shu studied for about an hour, maybe she was really interested, she was actually very serious, Cen Hao ordered her to stop and rest, looked at Xie Mingzhu puzzled and said: "Children are the most impatient, they can't make songs when they first learn, too tired will make her tired, so this time is enough." Now that the sunset is just right, how about letting Zijun play the piano for everyone? ”

Although Zijun was ashamed, he was still eager to watch, and soon sat on the piano bench and stroked the melodious and smooth melody of "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", although the piano skills are not as good as the master, but for Changsheng a layman, it is enough, she was shrouded in the red sunset and listened silently, and suddenly there was a feeling of stealing half a day of leisure.

The smoothness and pleasure of seeing the master for the first time, and the patient guidance and companionship of Zijun, Jin Shu's interest in learning the piano increased greatly, and she went to class on time the next day, and Mrs. Pei did arrange it very properly. Feixia Garden is very close to the Streamer Courtyard where Qin Hao lives, and Xie Mingzhu deliberately confessed that the slaves of the Pei family were not allowed to go to that place without permission, so as not to frighten the eldest lady of the Xie family.

So on the morning of the third day, Zijun came over and called Jin Shu to go to learn the piano together, and said that he had dinner with the master at noon, Changsheng deliberately said that he was a little tired, Jin Shu tilted his head and struggled for a while and said: "Okay, aunt, let's rest, just let Brother Zijun accompany me, and the four sisters of Pooh and Coke will follow." ”

Changsheng was very happy, and finally saw that she had learned to be independent, so he solemnly praised her a few words, and kissed her little face behind her back, and then let her go. Then she took out the needle and thread and broken silk brocade brought by the housekeeper's lady, but she was worried, she was so generously courteous by Mrs. Pei, she wanted to retreat, and she was uneasy to accept it, so she could only return the gift to alleviate a little uneasiness.

But what gift can she repay? Ordinary gifts can't get into her eyes, she can't afford to give them too expensive, and she only thinks about it with small objects made by herself. But what to do? An old lady, you can't give her a purse sachet sweat towel, and it's not right to send a forehead warmer, it's spring now, how can you send these cold things? It's too late to make shoes, just to make the soles of the shoes will take several days, do it too fast, people must understand that it is the girl's mother-in-law to do it, then it is better not to send.

Suddenly, I remembered that at the reception banquet the day before yesterday, Xie Mingzhu had no intention of mentioning that her mother-in-law had a cold stomach, and she was uncomfortable if she didn't eat a bite of food, and she was afraid of drinking medicine, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart, she remembered the famous health care products in her previous life, which used the principle that the ancients liked to wear belly pockets and the health care effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

She immediately started, shilling Zihu found the lady in charge, gave her some broken silver, and she quietly went to buy some good Chinese medicine to warm the stomach and invigorate the blood, sieve off the fine dust and dry it, and then grind it into fine particles and take it back, and found a few pieces of cocoon silk suitable for the elderly, such as cow hair and pine flowers, and sewed it densely with needles and threads, and the belly pocket was quickly sewn.

Different from the ordinary belly pocket, there is a gap on one side, tie it with a thin strap, untie the strap, you can stuff things into the mezzanine, and then sew two very thin bags for backup, and wait for the medicine particles to get back. Changsheng was very satisfied and divided it into two parts and packed it into a bag, then sewed the opening tightly, and stuffed it into the belly pocket sandwich to try, the size was just right. Changsheng is very satisfied, these days only need to decorate the belly pocket with a little embroidery with the meaning of longevity and auspiciousness.

At lunchtime, Cola and Kexi came back to spread the word, saying that Young Master Zijun and the eldest lady accompanied Mr. to eat at noon, and if they didn't come back to eat, Changsheng was happy, and the little girl grew up too fast.

Kexi covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The eldest lady heard that Young Master Zijun was going to eat with Mr., so she shouted that she wanted to eat together, Young Master Zijun joked that men and women were seven years old and had different seats, and the eldest lady asked him why they used to eat together, Young Master Zijun said that he didn't know before, and thought that the eldest lady was only five or six years old, and only heard from his mother this morning, but the eldest lady was angry and ignored him, until Young Master Zijun helped her catch a butterfly and was happy, didn't my aunt go over to take a look?" ”

Changsheng smiled and shook his head, wouldn't it be better for her to learn to get along with people alone? Xiao Kele looked at Changsheng with a dripping look: "But Master Cen said that Yiduo is not pressing, and wants to invite my aunt and eldest lady to learn the piano together, even if I don't learn." Qin Ke is clear and happy, and it is also good to listen to it, why don't you go with us after dinner? You're idle anyway! ”

Changsheng hesitated, she was indeed idle, and took the initiative to decline Xie Mingzhu's accompaniment, Jin Shu was familiar with Zijun again, and the belly pocket for the old lady was ready, just embroider some patterns and embellishments, and although she didn't know the piano, she liked to listen to it, especially Cen Hao's "Yangchun White Snow". On a bright spring afternoon, someone took the initiative to play the piano to himself, why did he refuse?

After lunch, Changsheng heard that Cen Hao didn't take a nap, so he drank a cup of tea and took Zihu and Coke Kexi together, Zihu thanked Changsheng for treating her leniently, and offered to go over, but Changsheng smiled: "It's hard to have a piano to listen to?" Why not? What an idiot! ”

Came to the Streamer Courtyard, Jin Shu goose yellow shirt and green skirt, like a delicate spring flower sitting on the piano bench, although the expression is very serious, but it is really not a tune, Zijun frowned, it seems unbearable, all forget that he came here like this, Cen Hao has become accustomed to it, while reading a book, while listening to Jin Shu plucking the strings, from time to time also pointing.

Changsheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Cen has bothered!" ”

Cen Hao raised his head and smiled, his smile was very warm and clean, as kind as an old acquaintance for many years, Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling swelled up, raised his head, and gave him a very pure smile.

Crossing over, she has never seen such a smile, the palace is either a eunuch or a person in power, I'm afraid any expression is fake, after returning to her hometown, except for her father and brother, she is not familiar with the men outside at all, most of the people she has seen have envy and honesty in their smiles. On the hurried side of Mingche, there was almost never a real smile in his deep eyes. And the clear smile is sometimes enthusiastic to insolence, and sometimes helpless to forbearance.

Jin Shu saw Changsheng. The body writhed obviously uneasily, but he couldn't help but stand up, still plucked the strings seriously, Zijun on the side nodded approvingly, and finally Cen Hao couldn't bear to say: "Shu'er, you just eat, don't be too tired, take a break and practice again!" ”

Jin Shu ran over and grabbed Changsheng and hugged her tightly, Cen Hao invited Changsheng to sit down, and sat on the piano bench by himself, with a calm expression and a little expectation and asked Changsheng: "Does the girl have the intention of learning the piano?" ”

Changsheng shook his head resolutely, learning the piano is not better than literacy, knowing a few more words can be used everywhere in daily life, for the piano, if you are not proficient in learning, it is better not to learn, not only do you owe others favors, but you also have to work hard.

If she wants to learn the piano, she must either be skilled, like Cen Hao with piano skills, or like Xie Mingzhu, Lin Xinhui and her sister Lin Xinyi.

Cen Hao's face was surprised, there were a lot of people who wanted to learn the piano from him, and they all invited him with a lot of money, if it weren't for Pei Xiang's face, someone would have dug the corner of the wall, but Zhou Changsheng didn't appreciate it.

"But why?" He still couldn't help but ask. Changsheng calmly met his gaze and said his thoughts very frankly, Cen Hao nodded again and again, and said approvingly: "It's rare that a woman of yours can see so clearly and so far." However, to put it abruptly, although it is not easy for a wealthy family, it is even more difficult for a low-income small family to operate the well. ”

After Cen Hao finished speaking, Fang Jue was rude, coughed lightly and began to stroke the piano, it was still yesterday's "Yangchun White Snow", the cheerful and relaxed piano sounded, and Changsheng smiled bitterly, if the wealthy family and the small household did not belong to her, where should she go? Could it be that she accompanied Jinshu as an aunt for a lifetime, and then became a grandmother? Such things are not uncommon for wealthy families. But you're only twenty-one years old? She shook her head, in fact, this is not bad, so she retracted her thoughts and listened to the piano intently.

At the end of the song, Cen Hao suddenly asked Changsheng: "Listen to the second young grandmother, Miss Zhou and the eldest lady are going to stay in Pei's Mansion for a few days?" Out of the alley at the gate of Pei's Mansion is the most prosperous neighborhood in Chang'an. The girl and the eldest lady finally came to Chang'an, so they didn't plan to go around the streets? ”

Chang'an's heart was pounding, not that she didn't want to visit Chang'an, but after coming over, she walked directly into the deep backyard of the Pei family, and she had to forget that there was the bustling Chang'an City outside.

"Tomorrow is a day off, I want to go home, if the girl and Shu'er are interested, can I do my best to be a landlord?"

Without waiting for Changsheng to speak, Jinshu, who heard what was going on, looked at Changsheng with a yearning and pitiful face, and without waiting for Changsheng to agree, Zijun also shouted to do his best to be a landlord.
