Chapter 5: Competition

The climax of the Houfu party is only now on, everyone knows that this link is to test how much ability the children have, Aunt Wang has not participated in several such gatherings, when Mrs. Houfu said, "I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, looking at this young face, this person, really want to serve the old." She lamented like this, and a random lady opened her mouth, "Madame is really, we back then, how could these children be beautiful, by the way, the opportunity is rare, I look at the moonlight tonight is very beautiful, if not, I use the guqin as a medium, play a song should be with this moon, how, here, which girl is willing to try it." ”

She said this, the meaning is very clear, she wants her daughter to be in the limelight, the heroes who come today, which one does not have a son, the right age is right, you can also set a parent, which one of you is not a human spirit, naturally understand, simply let her go, Mrs. Mu's mind is even simpler, how old is her daughter, she hasn't learned anything, and naturally she won't be in the limelight, everyone knows that this kind of thing will be their own daughter's turn, so they glanced at their own girl, and the daughters received the mother's signal, and it didn't happen.

Aunt Wang had never participated in such a venue, so she naturally didn't understand the so-called unspoken rules, and when she heard that she could behave well, she immediately laughed: "Since this lady said so, then, Yan'er, you can make a poem." Her words were equivalent to slapping the lady's face on the spot, and sure enough, when Mu Yunshu looked at the lady, that face was really, ugly and tight, but she didn't scold it because of her cultivation, how could it be reasonable, the daughter of a prostitute actually wanted to compete with my daughter for the limelight, okay, don't you want to show off, you just do it.

Several ladies rarely encounter this situation, for a while, Bai Cen Yan is not standing, nor sitting, the atmosphere is very embarrassing, Mrs. Hou Fu scolded secretly: "Sure enough, prostitutes are prostitutes, in such a situation, this is difficult to do." "Haha, this is good, I have long heard my family grandfather say that the girl of the Bai family is very good, and the daughter of the hussar general Xu family is also outstanding, it is better to prepare for a few girls of the same age today, draw lots and compare them, madam, you say yes." Mrs. Hou Fu saw that someone gave her a step down, and immediately continued, "Yes, yes, I also think this method is very good, it is better to let these girls prepare for it." After speaking, he also cast a grateful look with Mrs. Mu.

I heard that there was a comparison, Aunt Wang naturally couldn't let her daughter lose at the starting line, she wanted to prove to those daughters-in-law and his wife that she was born in the land of smoke and willows, and her daughter would not be worse than their daughter, so she followed random to prepare, as soon as she walked out here, Mrs. Mu persuaded Mrs. Xu, "Okay, Ayu, can you be as knowledgeable as a prostitute, but today, I'm really afraid that I have wronged this group of children." Everyone understands what she said, the concubine has to compare with the concubine, this is an insult to the concubine, but in the current situation, if you don't do that, there is no good way. It's just that Mu Yunshu's mother didn't expect that what she did today undoubtedly gave hope to those concubines, but she didn't expect Bai Cen Yan to be able to compete with her concubines, what does this mean, Bai Cen Yan couldn't think of it, and Mu Yunshu's mother couldn't think of it, today, let Bai Cen Yan become the leader of those concubines.

Mrs. Xu just sighed: "Ah Wu, how can I not understand what you said, it's just that this Wang family is really infuriating, originally I only thought that my background was not good, maybe I should be an intellectual, but I didn't expect that it was such a cultivation, so, what should I do with her daughter-in-law, Xiaoqin's daughter." "Xiaoqin is Lord Bai's original wife, and naturally she is also a member of the concubines in Beijing, and she used to be a close friend, but what she didn't expect was that Hongyan had a short life, and the remaining daughter left early, and several of them had the intention to help, but who would have thought that Lord Bai found a Qinlou woman to be an aunt, so that people have mothers, and they are ladies, so it is not easy to interfere.

Speaking of which, there was a little girl who said, the girls are ready, Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Yunshu in her arms, her daughter was obediently squatting in her arms to eat snacks, and only sighed: "The motherless child is the most pitiful, and he is also a concubine, I just hope that our sisters can help the child." At this point, the girls all came, and the little maid took the cage, which was full of paper with serial numbers, and drew them one by one, and the order came out.

The first one to play, coincidentally, was Mrs. Xu's daughter, but seeing her daughter draw a lot, Mrs. Xu's face looked much better, but some people were happy and some were worried, Aunt Wang's face began to be bad again, her daughter could have been the first to perform, but the overall situation has been decided, even if she is skinny, it will not help. Mrs. Xu's daughter Xu Xiyan is worthy of being the daughter of the hussar general, in addition to her superb piano skills, the important thing is the feeling, a piece of music gives people the feeling of playing the heart, full of killing atmosphere, "Okay, it is worthy of being the daughter of General Xu, and the feelings conveyed are really wonderful." "Said this is the wife of the criminal department Shangshu, when she was young, she was crowned the title of the first piano player in the capital, for the guqin attainments, she recognized the second in the capital, no one dared to occupy the first, therefore, Mrs. Xu felt that her face was extraordinarily bright, even Xu Xiyan, also a lot of happiness.

She wasn't happy to compete with a concubine. Mu Yunshu knew at a glance that now was the time to establish friendship, General Xu's daughter, but later a battlefield hero, the first female general of Dachu, even Xuanyuan Lang, who was the emperor, was polite to her, she snorted and crawled out of her mother's arms, and shook her little hand, "Sister, sister is so powerful, I like my sister so much" As the daughter of a hussar general, Xu Xiyan has never heard less flattery, but it is so straightforward, she is still a child, she is in a much better mood, and touches her little sister's head:" Really, little sister, if my little sister wants to learn, I can teach my little sister. "Okay, okay, Auntie, I want to learn, I want to learn." Jiang Wu watched his little daughter jumping around, and only felt that it was extraordinarily cute, children would not deceive people, but he didn't expect the little girl of the Mu family to be so cute. I had already seen Mu Yunshu's aunts in the palace banquet, but I just felt that I didn't give birth to such a daughter.

The second appearance is Bai Cen Yan, her music is more tender, and her skills can be regarded as skilled, but, in front of the wife of the criminal department, she was a little nervous, so that she played a few wrong notes, Aunt Wang herself thinks that her daughter plays very well, she listened to the piano prostitute when she was in the Qinglou, but she is worse than her daughter I don't know how much, Bai Cen Yan played nervously, the guqin that was originally easy for some reason, became unfamiliar, but she couldn't control herself, at the end of the song, Aunt Wang applauded at the beginning, The rest of the ladies came back to their senses and said yes.

The wife of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't say anything, and everyone understood that this was a step down for the Bai family, but Bai Cen Yan saw that the people around him were applauding, so he stood up with courage. "Mrs. Shangshu, how do you think I play?" Mrs. Shangshu over there hadn't come back to her senses, and suddenly someone came over and asked her how she was playing, she was a little unmistaken, but her own personality couldn't collapse, "The white girl played, the technique is skillful, and it can be seen from the white girl's fingers that I am afraid that I have been practicing the piano for a long time." ”

When she said this, Bai Cen Yan, Aunt Wang was overjoyed, and she only felt that there was light on her face, and she could walk over with her head held high in front of these ladies and young ladies, "It's just, there is a little bit, the white girl's song, I really didn't hear anything, what the white girl wanted to express, maybe my research is still shallow, and I didn't feel the feelings expressed by the white girl." This is said more straightforwardly, until she Bai Cen Yan is a tasteless person and can't express her feelings, she can only say that she can't taste what the work shows. Immediately, the ruddy flush of Bai Cen Yan's face disappeared, and all that was left was dead white.

Mu Yunshu looked at their expressions, and only felt cool, it is true that in her previous life, Bai Cen Yan had never done it right with herself, but, if she remembered correctly, it was her and her mother who scolded when she entered the Hou Mansion, not to mention, they have some conflicts now, if she can be safe, she disdains to do it with a little girl, if she is not honest, then don't blame her subordinates for being ruthless, in short, the performances in the back, she didn't watch them so carefully, in short, they are all good, but there are a few particularly outstanding, It was affirmed by Mrs. Shangshu.

There is another day at the banquet, Mrs. Hou Fu because of her love for flowers, therefore, she is very interested in flowers and plants, and likes to think about all kinds of people to show her flowers, some people are rumored that Mrs. Hou Fu, if she wants to let her choose between her own children and flowers, she will choose flowers, of course, this is all rumors, rumors are naturally three points true, seven points false, she does love flowers, but only one point, her own children are better, but other people's families, if she touches her own flowers, she will be angry, Mu Yunshu naturally knows about this, she heard people say in her last life, Bai Cen Yan once plucked Mrs. Hou's flowers at this banquet, for this reason, Lord Bai was targeted by Lord Hou in the court, in this life, she didn't plan to stop it, she couldn't interfere too much, in fact, because she really wanted to see what would happen.

Mrs. Hou Fu after everyone played, proposed to go to the garden to see, of course everyone understood that she wanted to show off her own flowers, helpless, also followed, flowers are naturally beautiful, but, no one picks, very simple, everyone was their mother before they came to the ear: "Don't touch their flowers" They all know how much Mrs. Hou Fu loves the flowers she raises, that is her baby, but there are always such a two stupid people who don't listen.

After just now, Bai Cen Yan has become the core of the concubines, they envy this Bai Cenyan who has tried with the concubines, and at the same time feel that she is brave, she has become the spiritual power of the concubines, after all, only she dares to target her sister-in-law, and she does not have to worry about being suppressed by the eldest lady, so Bai Cenyan who was surrounded by the concubines was a little fluttering, and when she saw Bai Cen Jin who was alone again, it was naturally "Hey, Bai Cen Jin, you go and pick a flower for me, I have long heard that the flowers in the Hou Mansion are beautiful, just now the sisters said, I'm better looking than a flower, you pick one for me to see. ”

When she said this, everyone was waiting to see a good show, they could understand how important this flower was, and this time they could watch a concubine make a fool of themselves, and they couldn't miss it. "If you want flowers, you can pick them yourself, logically speaking, you are a concubine and your sister is a concubine, when can a concubine talk to her like this?" It was Xu Xiyan who said this, and the others found out that the concubines who came out of the darkness, in fact, the concubines, from the heart, all learned their mothers, ranks, and things they understood as soon as they were born, and the concubines could only be submissive, this is their usual idea, the first time they saw this situation, it was inevitable that they would feel that this was a slap in the face of all the concubines. Naturally, I won't put up with it.

Bai Cen Yan naturally couldn't stand the provocation, "What's so great about you concubines, aren't you going to be reincarnated, since you think I don't dare to pick it, I'll pick it for you to see." After saying that, he picked one with his hand, slammed it on the ground, and twisted it, however, what was really interesting was that the ladies who came to see their flowers at the feet of Bai Cen Yan had a very bad face.
