Chapter VII Emergencies

As in the previous two days, Xiao Liangyun prepared the corresponding massage ointment and soothing bath water in proportion, and walked to Cunshan Hall with the acupuncture bag. Passing through the garden, Xiao Liangyun heard a beautiful piano sound, looked into the distance and found that Xiao Yu was playing the piano, and Xiao Yu's side was the famous pianist Linyin in Beijing. "What is the second lady doing over there?" Xiao Liangyun asked the flower farmer who was pruning the flower branches.

The old farmer replied, "Miss Hui, the second lady has been preparing for the group flower banquet recently, which is prepared for the princess's request to perform at that time. ”

Since ancient times, the realm of playing the piano has been in, entry, imitation, proficiency, self-communication, harmony, leading phoenixes, and breaking intestines. Xiao Liangyun has watched his mother fuqin since he was a child, his mother once mentioned the skill of fuqin, Liu Ruoyin learned the piano at the age of three, imitated at the age of six, passed by himself at the age of ten, and made harmony at the age of fourteen, and reached the realm of introducing the phoenix at the age of seventeen. She mentioned that the realm of broken intestines is a rare strange person in a thousand years, when Liu Ruoyin helped him become a general, but on the night of being destroyed, he sat in the ashes and played a song "Broken Intestines", and the result was that the wind was sluggish, like silk and rain, like a cold blade, and all the birds that passed by died of grief and broke their intestines, reaching the realm of breaking their intestines. Xiao Yu led the generals, staring at her and stroking the piano without moving, his generals wept one after another, only Xiao Yu, while clenching his fists, stared at the woman in front of him with red eyes and miserable eyes. Doesn't he love her? No, it should have been love in the past, those mountain alliances and sea vows, the flowers before the moon are also true. But he loves his future even more, his concubine Wang Huiyan. After all, he asked her fiercely many times, asking her to give him a talisman, give him a powerful person, and let her play the phoenix to give the dead old man Shangshu to the Ministry of Officials, what's wrong, is it necessary for her to be so arrogant? Why doesn't her Liu family participate in the party and government, her Liu Ruoyin's father is simply a piece of wood, and women are an obstacle to her future. Yes, because of a promise to a dead woman, so you swear not to participate in the party and government? Even if his own head was cut off in the end, and his sons, daughters, and grandchildren were slaughtered, wouldn't he tell him about the power of the underworld? Let's die together.

"Miss? Miss? Qiluo shook Xiao Liangyun's arm, I don't know why, Xiao Liangyun would always fall into contemplation because of a little thing, "It's okay, let's go, don't let grandmother wait." ”

"Miss, the second lady's piano playing skills are good." Qiluo helped Xiao Liangyun hold the medicine bag, "Indeed, ordinary people are already very strong when they practice to the level of self-communication. Xiao Liangyun recalled the sound of the piano just now, which was slow and exciting, soft and tactful. But some perception is missing. Linyin is a good pianist, so he was invited by Wang Huiyan's power.

Unconsciously, Xiao Liangyun walked to Cunshan Hall. She retracted her emotions and said to Mama Wen, "Please pass it on, Huan'er has come to say goodbye to grandmother." ”

Mama Wen smiled kindly, nodded and entered the house. After a while, she came out and bowed her head, "Back to Miss, the old lady said to let you in." ”

Mama Wen, as usual, led Xiao Liangyu and Qiluo through a long corridor, and when they walked to the second corridor, Xiao Liangyu suddenly noticed a woman in a palace robe standing in the courtyard. "Mama, who is that?"

"Oh, miss, are you talking about Mrs. Shangguan?"

"Mrs. Shangguan?" Xiao Liangyun thought about it.

"Yes, Mrs. Shangguan is the niece of the old lady and the concubine of the current emperor. When the old lady was young, she liked Miss Shangguan very much. ”

Getting closer and closer, Xiao Liangyun glanced at the woman's face, with a slightly round face, gentle eyes like water, and a faint flush on her face. The green lotus embroidered robe, tied with a delicate lotus sachet, looks like a gentle woman.

"Miss, the old lady is now worshipping the Buddha in the Buddha hall, and the front is the Buddha Hall, you can go straight to the end."

"Thank you, Mama." Xiao Liangyu saluted slightly, and then walked straight forward. Walking to the bottom of the corridor, she pushed open the hidden wooden door, and instantly a thick sandalwood fragrance came to her face. I saw the old lady kneeling alone on the gold silk cushion and reciting the scriptures silently, and the Buddhist beads in her hand kept turning.

Xiao Liangyun motioned for Qiluo to give him the medicine bag and asked her to wait outside the door. Qiluo nodded, turned and closed the door.

"You're here?" The old lady heard the sound of the door closing and said slowly.

"Yu'er thanked her grandmother, grandmother massaged again today, and the leg pain will probably be cured." Xiao Liangyun placed the medicine bag on the table next to him.

The old lady turned around and smiled kindly, "It's troublesome for you to come to Xiao Mansion for so long." ”

"It's a matter of course for Hu'er to take care of her grandmother, so why bother." Xiao Liangyun helped her to the chair, took out the ointment, squatted down, lifted the old lady's legs and massaged them.

"This tomorrow is the group flower banquet, which is usually your second sister's go, but according to the etiquette, it should be your eldest daughter." The old lady chatted with her.

"Hu'er doesn't ask for this, after all, Hu'er lives in the mountain temple all the year round, and has no talent, I'm afraid it will be a shame for the Xiao family."

"How can you say that?" The old lady said solemnly, "When I was young, I was the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family, and the eldest daughter should have the majesty of the eldest daughter." You just need to familiarize yourself with the palace etiquette, and then you can go with your second sister. ”

"Aren't you going to the Flower Feast?" Xiao Liangyun pretended to be innocent and asked, "I'm old, this group of flower banquets is a program for young people, although your second mother took your second sister a few years ago, but your second mother didn't enter the palace, you didn't stay in the capital, and you don't know the rules of the princess." ”

"I see." Xiao Liangyun didn't know that this princess banquet was actually a banquet for young people, and it was a pity for Xiao Qingqing, it was originally a banquet for young people, but Wang Huiyan snatched the remaining places. "Hu'er will definitely follow Mama's teachings, and she will surprise to learn the etiquette of the palace at night, so as not to embarrass the old lady and the second sister."

"Hehe, don't mention your second mother, I came back from the temple until now, she hasn't come to say hello to me, I allow her to take care of the housekeeping of the Xiao family, it doesn't mean that I have approved her position as the mistress of the Xiao family. Your second sister is only focused on studying, but she has forgotten about me as a grandmother. ”

"How can it be, grandmother, the second sister is sensible and loves to learn, maybe she is just too busy usually." Xiao Liangyun wiped the clean ointment, took out three silver needles and pierced the skin. Then sat down on another chair, "Grandmother, don't blame my sister and Erniang." ”

Dinner

After the old lady finished the soup, she said to Xiao Yu, "Tomorrow's group flower banquet, the second lady and Yu'er went a few years ago, now let Yu'er and Yu'er go together." ”

"What?" Wang Huiyan was shocked, "Old lady, it's not appropriate for Hu'er to go." "Why is it not suitable, she is the concubine of the Xiao family, why is there no reason to go?" The old lady stared at her and said coldly, "Now I don't even have the qualifications to let any of my children go to the banquet?" ”

"No, it's not, what Hui Yan means is that Hu'er doesn't understand the etiquette of the palace, and Hui Yan is just afraid that Hu'er will embarrass the Xiao Mansion."

"Heh, I've already arranged for the royal sect to teach Mama at night to teach Hu'er, I said, let Hu'er go, do you understand!" The old lady's expression was angry, "If you talk back again." ”

"Okay, okay, mother, it's time for Hu'er to go to the banquet and practice, and finding a good family for Hu'er is also the top priority, and my mother has always been kind." Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

From beginning to end, Xiao Liangyun didn't speak and bowed his head slightly, "If you want to learn etiquette in one night, you have to study and familiarize yourself with Qiluo's intelligence information, Xiao Yu, then crush the number one of your first talent in the capital at the group flower banquet." ”
