Chapter 18: The Banquet (2)

Soon a vacant space was vacated in the center of the tea hall, and according to the requirements of several people, the musical instruments they needed were also moved.

I saw that Song Jiaai chose a seven-string guqin, and Xiao Jinlian chose a bamboo flute, the musical instruments chosen by these two people, the onlookers already knew it, after all, they have known each other for many years, and they are clear to each other who is good at what.

And what makes everyone most curious is that the concubine who has just returned from Zhuangzi, what instrument will she choose.

You must know that in today's Song Mansion, almost all the female dependents of famous families in Yangzhou are gathered, if they mess up, they will inevitably become a laughing stock, and in the future, don't even think about raising their heads and being a man.

Just under the expectant gaze of everyone, Xiao Jinxuan's chosen instrument was also brought up, a four-stringed pipa.

As soon as this instrument appeared, it immediately caused an uproar.

A young lady in a pink coat covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Oh, look, the instrument that the concubine chose turned out to be the pipa, which originated in the Western Regions, and I heard that it is extremely difficult to play." ”

But someone immediately replied, "You're so stupid, maybe people are just looking for someone we don't understand, so you can get by." ”

"Yes, that's absolutely, this maid is really cunning. It is clearly to grandstand. ”

This question that came into his ears from time to time made Xiao Jinxuan, who had half of her face hidden behind the pipa, evoke a light smile.

At this time, Song Jiaai turned her head and glanced at Xiao Jinxuan deeply, looking at the other party's smile, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

But soon Song Jiaai stood up and said decently: "Now that the three of us are playing together, it is better to have a song of plum blossoms and three lanes, one person plays one and the other, I don't know what everyone thinks." ”

As soon as I heard that I was going to play solo, everyone was naturally more meaningless, thinking of that concubine, who had no chance to fish in troubled waters, everyone's enthusiasm for watching the play was even higher.

Then Song Jiaai thought for a while, and immediately arranged: "Since this is the case, then Sister Lian will come to play the first que, I will pick up the second que, and Sister Jinxuan will come to play the most soothing last que." ”

Everything was said and done, Xiao Jinlian immediately started the bamboo flute solo, the crisp flute sound, although there was nothing brilliant, it was also blown smoothly and naturally, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Soon, Xiao Jinlian finished playing this part of herself, and at the end, she didn't forget to glare at Xiao Jinxuan provocatively, and then retreated proudly.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about all this at all, but her eyes only looked at Song Jiaai and didn't look away.

If she said that she was not sure before, but this will, Xiao Jinxuan is sure that the other party is coming for her.

spoke first to induce Xiao Jinlian to speak, and embarrassed her in public,

Now that she is playing a solo again, it is nothing more than trying to make her lose face.

said that she left the most soothing part to her, but who knows the rhythm doesn't know that the most difficult part of a piece is the finish, and if something is wrong, the whole piece will be ruined.

This Song Jiaai did not keep the simplest to herself, but gave it to Xiao Jinlian, and she preferred to play the second que, if Xiao Jinxuan really didn't understand the piano skills, after this piano fairy's exquisite performance, she would only be more embarrassed, I have to say that the other party's mind is really deep enough.

Although I still don't understand why Song Jiaai targeted her, no matter what the reason, this behavior is really annoying.

The name of Song Jia Ai Qinxian is indeed not called in vain, a song of plum blossoms and three lanes, in her piano sound, is played tactfully and long, moving, people who listen, in their minds, seem to outline a peerless beauty, dancing in the plum forest, a smile is intoxicating.

The song can understand people's hearts, good music always makes people feel that time flies, and before everyone can hear enough, Song Jiaai has already finished the last note with an elegant hand,

When the end note disappeared completely, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone who came back from the beautiful music looked at Xiao Jinxuan in surprise, not understanding why she was still sitting there, but let the music break and delay playing the last que.

No one noticed that when everyone was puzzled, at the secret door at the corner of the tea hall, a person hidden in the dark shadow suddenly showed an extremely proud, hideous and cruel smile.

Xiao Jinxuan, isn't it very good to be watched by everyone and embarrassed to get off the stage. You don't know yet, today's tea banquet is what I personally prepared for you.

I just want to let your lack of talent and virtue be completely exposed, so that everyone will laugh at you, ridicule you, and make you completely infamous.

In the upper echelons of Yangzhou, it has become the biggest joke, I want to see how you are so charming to a man, you better die of shame because of this, then I will be even happier.

The person in the dark shadow, his eyes emitted a vicious light, thinking like this, the evil smile on the corner of his mouth had not yet disappeared, and it was completely frozen under the sound of a vigorous and gloomy piano.

looked at the purple figure in the tea hall with a shocked face, and couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

The soul of the plum flower lies in the proudness of the solitary, not afraid of the wind and snow, although the music is long and melodious, how to play the plum blossom half of the temperament.

Canggu Jinyin, Xiao Suo is empty, although it is inevitable that people are sad, but Xiao Jinxuan feels that it is more suitable for Yongmei.

Yangzhou is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the music has always been mainly soft, and such a unique music instantly made these ladies and ladies talk about it.

If you just listen to Song Jiaai's piano sound, everyone will think of the women's plum dance.

Now listening to Xiao Jinxuan's piano sound, a picture of cold plums arrogant and angry against the wind and snow instantly came into their eyes, and everyone was thrilled when they heard it.

I saw a lady wearing lotus lotus color and lotus leaf lake water pattern, and said to Ning with a surprised face: "Such a piano sound, Zheng Zheng bones, you have such a ability at a young age, Mrs. Ning, your four daughters, are really amazing." ”

Ning's silver teeth were about to be crushed, but he still had to laugh and said, "Mrs. Meng praised it in seconds, Jinxuan deserves to be praised by you so much." ”

If it were someone else, Mrs. Ning would not be happy to hear it, and she would still be able to turn her face, but this Mrs. Meng's husband was a person who had been the master of the current prince.

Prince Meng Hang.

If the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor one day, this Meng Hang will be the emperor.

Even if this kind of person returns to the field now, he must not be offended, so the Ning family can only be polite and modest.

Mrs. Song's face was also ugly, thinking of today's plan and what she had said to that person, she said with a bad expression: "Although Miss Xiao Si plays well, there is too much strength in this piano sound, and I think it is because this Western Regions instrument is not easy to play, so it will be like this." ”

Mrs. Song's words were heard by others, and they all felt that she was relieving her daughter.

After all, Song Jiaai is called Qinxian in Yangzhou, and now a little-known concubine has overshadowed her limelight with just one song, which is not an ordinary shame.

And obviously Mrs. Meng also thinks so, she and her husband are both from a century-old scholarly family, so this kind of person is generally very straightforward and rigid.

Immediately, she snorted and said: "Mrs. Song, I don't know, the pipa is a musical instrument that can play the sound of killing such a ten-sided ambush, Miss Xiao Si, now she avoids the sharp spirit and only plays the sound of strength, such a superb piano skill, even in the Beijing Division, few people can do it." Although Miss Song's piano sound is good, it is still slightly inferior. ”

Now no one is talking, Mrs. Meng has brought out the piano music of the Beijing division for comparison, they have never been to the Beijing division, the official eunuch wife, can not mess around, when the time comes to say the wrong thing, plainly appear to be superficial, making people laugh.

Xiao Jinxuan's pipa was still playing, and Song Jiaai, who was compared to her and was degraded and vulnerable, couldn't care about being annoyed at all, because she was now standing in front of another girl with her head down, her face was covered with red slap prints, and her eyes were trembling with tears.

I saw that standing in front of her was a girl wearing an apricot red butterfly skirt, with a pair of big eyes that were smart and shining, and her slightly round face was very cute and cute, hooking the corners of her mouth with a sneer, and a small dimple hanging shallowly there, it was the county lord of Yuanning, Qian Yingluo.

Looking at Song Jiaai in front of her, who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, Qian Yingluo was even more angry, her right hand was raised instantly, and she slapped the other party with a loud slap.

Then she said angrily: "Waste, just like you to return the Qin Immortal, I think you are not as good as the prostitutes in my Hou Mansion, I asked you to make Xiao Jinxuan ugly, not for you to be a foil for her, you look at what you have done, it's really useless." ”

Qian Yingluo said, her hand was not idle, she stretched out her hand as if angry, and pinched Song Jiaai's body, the more the other party begged for mercy, the more ruthless she became, and after a while, Song Jiaai was exposed on the back of her hand outside, and it was bruised.

Song Jiaai couldn't help it, and cried in shock and fright, thinking how she was also the daughter of Fu Yin, who had been treated like this.

Feeling aggrieved, she mustered up some courage and whispered in a sobbing voice: "County Lord, you can't blame me, you told me that she didn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how did I know that she would play so well." ”

Who knew that Qian Yingluo didn't listen to this at all, and said with a giggle: "Then what you mean is that the county lord is wrong, so do I still have to apologize to Miss Song for pouring tea with you." ”

Song Jiaai looked at Qian Yingluo, who was smiling and harmless to humans and animals, but quickly shook her head in fright, but it was obviously too late.

saw Qian Yingluo's fierce eyes narrow, grabbed Song Jiaai's bun, pulled her hair, and directly hit the corner of the table on the side.

Once, twice, ignoring Song Jiaai's crying and begging for mercy, and the blood that fell, Qian Yingluo's eyes were cruel, and she continued to move in her hand until Song Jiaai didn't move, and then she threw the other party to the ground expressionlessly.

Looking at Song Jiaai now, she was originally well-groomed, but now her hair is scattered, her face is full of tears, and the scalp on the top of her head is turned out hideously, because of many impacts, blood keeps coming out, and she herself has passed out.

But Qian Yingluo didn't care at all, thinking that she was the daughter of the Hou Ye, her mother was a princess, and the emperor was her uncle, what was the daughter of a Fu Yin.

Turning around arrogantly, Qian Yingluo asked impatiently to Ji Lingfeng, who was standing next to him and had never spoken from beginning to end: "It's all your bad idea, tell me what to do now, that slut who dares to ** Brother Yu must be very proud outside now, I'm really angry." ”

Glancing at Qian Yingluo, who was full of tyrannical expression, a trace of disgust flashed in Ji Lingfeng's eyes.

However, he said with a smile in his mouth: "County Lord, you came this time mainly to help the six princes contain His Royal Highness, and when the royal king bows down under your skirt, this Xiao Jinxuan is not worth mentioning at all." Or just leave it at that. ”

Saying this, Ji Lingfeng was annoyed by the decision of the six princes in his heart, he really didn't think that the unruly county lord in front of him could lower the royal king, bringing her this time, maybe it was completely wrong, as soon as he arrived, he was against the Xiao Mansion, it was simply a trouble.

But Qian Yingluo didn't listen to these at all, and said with a raised chin: "I naturally want to get the king, but I won't let go of Xiao Jinxuan, a slut, my cousin also said that you are the most powerful person around the second prince, I don't think that's it, since you can't help it, then the county lord will do it himself, you just watch how I take care of that slut." ”

After speaking, he turned around, pushed the door directly, and went out directly, and the direction of departure was to go to the teahouse in front of him.

Ji Lingfeng, who was left alone, suddenly smiled softly.

County Lord, County Lord, if you don't force you to do this, how can you go out in person, if you don't make a move, how can I have the opportunity for Ji Lingfeng to be a hero to save the beauty, the big tree of the Xiao family, I Ji Lingfeng is determined!
