"Mrs. Xu, I'm really sorry, it's because I had a little misunderstanding with Miss Lin before, so I just had a little quarrel with her, and the other ladies and young ladies thought something had happened to us, so they came to persuade her." Xin Yan looked ashamed, bowed solemnly, and said, "I'm really sorry, because of a little misunderstanding, I disturbed all the ladies and young ladies." ”

Listening to her earnest words, the others almost believed it, but they didn't refute it. It's hard to say that we're just trying to force people to apologize.

Without waiting for Xu's answer, Xin Yan turned his head and asked softly, "Yes, Miss Duan." ”

Duan Xiaomei didn't expect Xin Yan to ask herself, she forgot to answer for a while, seeing Xin Yan's concerned gaze, for some reason she had a feeling of being peeped at in her heart, as if her thoughts or something were hidden in front of her.

"Huh? Miss Duan? ”

Duan Xiaomei had no choice but to follow Xin Yan's words, she couldn't tell what she had just done now, if she shook it out, the innocent and pitiful image she had just created would be ruined.

was unwilling to let Lin Jingshu make further ugliness, and couldn't help but hate Xin Yan. What an eventful woman.

Xu was a little surprised that Xin Yan would protect Lin Jingshu, after all, she was the one who was embarrassed, and few people could take care of the overall situation and let go of their selfish interests.

Xu's impression of Xin Yan has changed, and it is also beneficial to make friends with such a woman. And when he led the crowd, he re-seated.

For Xin Yan, it's not all about helping Lin Jingshu, but for the short-tempered Lin Jingshu, Duan Xiaomei, who is still pretending, is even more disliked. And she didn't want to leave an aggressive impression on the Xu family, after all, they might be needed later.

And just like that, this little episode was flipped over. And everyone unanimously didn't mention it again, and they didn't pay attention to Lin Jingshu who was left out in the cold.

It was very strange to Xin Yan that the Xu family actually arranged her in a higher position. It stands to reason that she is not qualified to sit here.

After all, the family members present are all official eunuchs, at least in the eyes of some of them, they should not appear here.

After Xu and others sat down, he smiled and instructed the maid to serve tea and snacks, and said: "I think everyone present knows that I like flowers and plants, and my lord even got a peony some time ago, and that peony is really the best I have seen, and I can't help but want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this flower with my ladies." ”

After speaking, the maid came, and everyone held a variety of blooming flowers in their hands, which was fragrant and evocative for a while.

seems to know that there are people watching, and they are all competing to open up, and they are beautiful and beautiful. It seems that the beauties present are like flowers and bones.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! ”

"This fragrance is even more refreshing than rouge powder."

"Mrs. Xu is really a leader in cultivating flowers and plants."

"That's right, even the flowers that don't bloom often in this winter know so well."

For a while, the praise was endless.

"Everywhere, it's just some skills that can't be elegant. It's hard to get to the top of the list. Xu's face smiled even wider, but there was this humility in his tone.

After another touting, the "protagonist" of this flower-viewing banquet officially debuted. To say that although those flowers just now are also beautiful, but compared with this peony, it is really a small thing.

From the color and shape of the peony, it can indeed be seen that this plant is the best among many peonies, and for a while, I couldn't help but look at many people.

"This flower fruit is really extraordinary, why don't you let the sisters or sisters present take this beautiful scenery in front of you as the title and write a poem as a congratulatory gift to Mrs. Xu?" Someone suggested.

Looking at the person who spoke, some people couldn't help but slander in their hearts: this person is so funny, his father is just a lifter, and he can follow a few words, and he wants to write poems like others. Even if she wants to be in the limelight herself, she doesn't have to pull someone else to do it.

Although the court is full of eunuch women, she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she pays attention to self-cultivation and cultivation of sentiment. Most of them have only read some female rings, or are only in the stage of enlightenment, and they have not entered the hall like men, except for the scholarly family, women and men study in the same hall, but most of them do not.

Suddenly, there was silence on the field, and some people didn't like it in their hearts, but they showed it. And some noble ladies don't want their daughters to be the green leaves set off by others, so they look very unkindly.

The woman who spoke stood in place very embarrassed, silently attacked, but she couldn't stand or sit, and she couldn't feel it.

At this time, fortunately, Xu Shi came out to play a round and said: "I don't think there is any need for this poem, enjoy the flowers, why do you make those literary crepes, but this young lady's proposal is also good, or how about changing the poem to Fuqin?" It is also possible to paint. As long as it conforms to the mood. ”

As soon as the words came out, the young lady also breathed a sigh of relief, and the people present were all lively, and many young ladies were eager to try. After all, this kind of occasion is to earn a reputation, and why not show what you are best at.

"Then let the little girl come first." A woman wearing a lotus pink cardigan brocade skirt stepped forward, and after bowing to Xu and the ladies, she said generously: "Please also trouble Mrs. Xu to prepare the piano." ”

The song "Sighing Storm" is tactful and melodious, and the sound of the piano is clear and long. The characters in the song appear in front of people's eyes, with beautiful eyes, tactful eyes, and secret feelings. The woman sang slowly, and a poignant and loving figure jumped out. Because of the flowers, the flowers break the love. It's sad and crying, and I can't help myself for a long time.

The strings brushed by both hands are like bonesless, and they don't want to, they don't want to, they don't want to, they don't want to, they are full of shouting. It silently flows into the deepest part of people's hearts, pulling the deepest emotions. The ethereal, poignant singing complements the mournful face, and the flowers in the hall seem to be moved in this song, dancing lightly, bringing out the emotions that they do not want to tell.

At the end of the song, people are still immersed in grief and cannot forget. Several ladies and ladies were moved by the emotions seduced and secretly wept.

The applause was bursting, and this song vividly interpreted the word "sigh".

"The little woman is ugly." The woman stood up and said modestly.

"It's the first time I've heard such a resonant playing. Miss Sun's piano skills are so superb. Mrs. Sun, you are really hiding this too tightly. Mrs. Xu quipped.

"The little girl's clumsy skills are difficult to get into the elegant hall, just to cope with the scene, Mrs. Xu should not praise her too much." Mrs. Sun waved her hand, indicating that she could not afford it, but she could still see pride in her eyes.

Also, if this skill is clumsy, then what is amazing. Mrs. Sun does have the capital of pride, her daughter is so good, and it is already "hyped up" in someone else's house.

Sun Yiyue listened to the words of praise, but she didn't see any arrogant look on her face, she was generous and calm, which was really everyone's demeanor.

This is also what Xin Yan thinks in his heart. Lin Jingshu is lively and moving, but she has a hot temper and lacks the composure of a lady. Duan Xiaomei's small jasper is more than beautiful, but the atmosphere is insufficient.

Sun Yiyue is demure and elegant, gentle and virtuous, and is really a model. Although she lives in this northern town, she is not far behind the young lady of the family in Gyeonggi.

The subsequent ladies were not to be outdone, and they all showed their best music or painting skills.

Needless to say, no one can surpass Sun Yiyue, although all the songs played are famous, but none of them really arouse people's feelings.

And the painting skills, it is said that it is not bad, and there is less heat, and it does not stir up any waves.

When Duan Xiaomei finished playing the tune, it still didn't stir up waves, so Duan Xiaomei was unwilling.

After all, knowing about this flower-viewing banquet, she also worked hard to learn, but piano skills are not something that can be learned overnight, and it is a blockbuster.

Just as he walked back to his place, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xin Yan who was calmly eating snacks, a trace of treachery flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be innocent and said: "The little girl knows that her piano skills are not as good as Sister Sun's, and she has not been able to make everyone laugh, so she is very ashamed to think about it, and the other sisters have also finished performing, I don't know what Sister Xin has prepared?" I can't say that it will make our eyes shine. ”

Xin Yan raised her eyes and didn't miss the calculation that flashed in Duan Xiaomei's eyes, this person was resentful because I stopped her plan just now, and wanted me to make a fool of myself in public? Did I think I wasn't prepared at all?

Xin Yan slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "Miss Duan is really too high-minded, Xin is just a businessman, although she is not ignorant of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not more proficient than the people present. ”

Xin Yan's words were unexpected by the people present, who never thought that she was a businessman. It didn't take long for some people to be disdainful because of who she was. For example, Duan Xiaomei, this is really a copper smell.

"Where, Miss Xin is a guest of Mrs. Xu, and Lord En and the prefect, she must not be an ordinary businessman, you must not be modest." Where would Duan Xiaomei let Xin Yan escape easily, the words touted were like flowing water, and they couldn't stop flowing out, but from the fact that Sister Xin became Miss Xin, it could be seen that she didn't want to have anything to do with her, jokes, although she was a concubine, she was also a serious person, how could she be compared with a copper-smelling businessman.

I look down on it from the bottom of my heart, but I don't want to let it go easily. Other people also have the mentality of watching the play, some think that they have just performed unsatisfactory, if someone is worse than them, they will be called good, and some just don't want to excuse a businessman, so much of the price.

In everyone's hearts, they don't know why Xu invited her, but no one wants to be that bird.

Now that someone is stirring up disputes, they just have to watch the play, and the horizontal and vertical fire can't burn them.

Looking at these people who were watching coldly, Xin Yan sneered in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a slightly stiff voice.
