Miss Zhang's dance is really a very beautiful start.

This dance aroused applause from the audience. Even the male guests across the barrier found it wonderful.

"Miss Zhang's dance is really beautiful, like a goddess descending from heaven."

Mrs. Pang, as the host, also made a start to praise Miss Zhang's dance, allowing everyone to speak freely.

The second one on the stage was a young lady from a civil official family surnamed Chen, who may have been a little nervous, although it was also a dance.

But obviously there is Zhuyu in the past, and although Miss Chen's dancing is also good, it may be slightly inferior to Miss Zhang.

The next few young ladies were all dancing, and there was nothing new, but it made the people present a little tired.

The male guests on the other side of the screen didn't pay attention to the competition here, but just started discussing various political affairs.

Pang Yulang, who greeted the male guests, saw that the guests were no longer interested in the talent competition, so he opened his mouth.

"Brothers, are you still satisfied with the talent competition on the woman's side?"

You can't say you're not satisfied.

"Very good, those young ladies, all of them have outstanding dancing skills, and they are all heavenly postures."

"yes, great, great."

As a result, everyone had to turn their attention back to the talent competition on the other side of the screen.

Because everyone who came to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet was the main mother with her children, most of the people on the field were sons and daughters.

Most of these sons and sisters come together, and they also hope that their sister or sister can achieve a good ranking.

Chu Wentao is a concubine, the first time he came to participate in this chrysanthemum feast, he didn't know many people.

When I just knew that there was a talent competition, although I didn't usually have a friendship with Chu Jingting, I still had the same thoughts as Zhou Jingya in my heart, hoping that Chu Jingting could get a good ranking.

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family at the chrysanthemum banquet, Chu Jingting followed Zhou Jingya, but there were also many people who complimented Zhou Jingya, although Chu Jingting was a concubine, but not many people would despise her.

Although Chu Wentao said that he came with Zhou Jingya, but in the end, he was a concubine, and he still felt that he was a little different from his sister-in-law, and it was Chu Wenyu in previous years, Chu Wenyu couldn't come this year because Chu Wentao couldn't come, so he naturally unceremoniously greeted these sons and brothers in advance.

At this chrysanthemum banquet, except for a son surnamed Zeng that Chu Wentao knew, no one paid attention to him.

Who would offend the concubine who crawled out of the belly of the county lord Jingya for the sake of a concubine?

Anyone will calculate this account, and everyone will consider it.

Chu Wentao naturally knew what they thought, and he hoped that Chu Jingting could compete well and earn back some face for himself.

The talent competition here is still going on, and she is already the seventh lady.

This young lady is different from the previous young ladies, and chose dance to compete.

It may be that there are more people dancing, but this young lady found another way and chose the guqin.

The elegantly dressed lady sat cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard full of chrysanthemums, with a guqin on her lap.

When the piano sounded, her slender and white fingers plucked the seven strings, and a clear and smooth sound of the piano sounded, as if flowing water, with a touch of sadness. The breeze blows, the fragrance of chrysanthemums is lingering, and in an instant, the clothes flutter. The sound of the piano is agitated and endless. Between the beginning and the end of the hand, whose heartstrings did the business chord vibrate? Her movements slowed down slowly, and the sound of the piano became quiet and elegant, tactful, with a touch of sadness, just like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.

Different from the previous dance, it made people aesthetically tired, and the melodious sound of the piano made the people present feel a burst of joy.

After watching so many dances, the sudden sound of the piano made Rong Yin feel refreshed.

"This young lady's piano skills are good, the music is well chosen, and the piano skills are skillful, which is really wonderful."

Zhou Rongyin's praise aroused the approval of all the ladies.

"Yes, this young lady's skills are really good, and it makes people feel immersive."

In order to ease the relationship with Rong Yin, Zhou Jingya also picked up the conversation and spoke.

Zhou Jingya is afraid that she forgot that she said the words of rouge just now.

The Zhao family is a grudge, rouge is the darling of their hearts, who said a word about rouge, and still want to curry favor, how is it possible.

The young lady also stood up and saluted the ladies when she heard the praise of the people.

"The courtiers are Mengqi, the second queen of Peizhou Wencheng, and I have seen all the ladies."

The voice is slow and soft, but it also has its own personality, and it can't be pretentious, pretend to be weak, and make people feel comfortable.

Rouge was also full of affection for this Wang Mengqi, and lowered his head to talk to Liu.

"Grandmother, this Miss Wang, is quite well-behaved, and her manners are very well-behaved."

Liu was also very satisfied with this Miss Wang, and nodded with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Rouge, his father is Wen Cheng from Peizhou City, although the official is not big, but I heard your grandfather say that her father's personality is still very upright, so you can also make friends with her and make a few more close friends."

Rong Yin listened to the whispered exchange between the two and joined in.

"Rouge, our family background, we don't need to deliberately please anyone and make friends, so when you make friends, you must pay special attention to your character, and you don't have to care about your family background."

Rong Yin's words, Liu also agreed.

"Yes, Rouge, your aunt is right."

Rouge was very happy with the words of the two, so he told the two of them about his acquaintance with Chu Jingting in the side room.

"Grandmother, aunt, I just met a woman in the side room, and I think I can make friends with her."

"Whose lady is it?"

"It's the eldest daughter of the Chu family, the same Chu family who took me away last time, and today I came with the county lord Jingya."

Liu and Zhou Rongyin paid special attention to Zhou Jingya from the beginning, and saw that she was not followed by her biological son Chu Wenyu, but two young ladies who had never seen her before.

Liu guessed that Rouge was talking about the girl who followed Zhou Jingya.

"Rouge, are you talking about the girl sitting next to Lord Jingya?"

"Yes, it's that girl, her name is Chu Jingting."

When Rong Yin heard this, the people of the Chu family still came with Zhou Jingya, and they immediately lost their good feelings.

"Rouge, how did you meet her?"

"Just now, didn't I go to the side room to see those ladies to prepare, I want to try Danqing for a while, so there is nothing to prepare, I just played there, Jing Ting came over, and then we met."

The Liu family also did not have a good impression of the Chu family.

"Did she say anything? Or is she estimated to be close to you. ”

Rouge sensed the prejudice against Chu Jingting in and out of Liu and Zhou Rongyin's words, and opened his mouth to defend Chu Jingting.

"Grandmother, aunt, I think Jing Ting is a good girl, just now she didn't know who I was, and she talked to me naturally, not deliberately approaching me."

Liu is still worried.

"Rouge, you want to serve a snack, don't be deliberately approached, have you forgotten the last time you were brought to the Chu family? A housekeeper of the Chu family is so presumptuous, not to mention that she is still a young lady, although she is a concubine, she is also the master of the Chu family. ”

Rouge knew Liu's worries, but Rouge did not become wary of all the Chu family members because he was offended by the Chu family once, and Rouge felt that Chu Wushuang was quite good.

Of course, Rouge can't tell Liu these thoughts now, and Liu says these things for his own good.

"My grandmother and granddaughter know that I will be more vigilant and will not let others deliberately approach me, so don't worry."

As he spoke, the eighth young lady who was trying to compete had already arrived in the middle of the courtyard.

A maid moved a stool and placed it in the middle of the courtyard.

The young lady sat down, took the lute handed by the maid, and began to play.

She was wearing a purple embroidered dress, showing her slender figure, embroidered shoes loomed under the clothes, she put the slender jade hand on the top of the pipa, gently flicked, the crisp sound sounded in the silent courtyard, sometimes sad, sometimes cheerful, sometimes cold, the lingering pipa sound sounded like gurgling water, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and the sound of the pipa changed suddenly.

Unexpectedly, they became eager, and the audience was immersed in the sound of the pipa, and with the sudden change of sound, the mood also felt excited with the music.

This young lady played a song "Will Enter the Wine", and the whole song, under her playing, was less tactful than the sound of the piano, and more of the warm sound of the pipa.

After the song was played, the audience was full of applause.

The male guests listened to two pieces of music one after another, which made them look forward to the talent competition a little more.

"Pang Gongzi, this young lady who just played the pipa seems to be Sister Ling?"

When Pang Yulang heard the sound of the pipa, he knew that it was his young sister Pang Jingyi.

"It's the young sister who is below, her skills are not refined, so that all the brothers laughed, and she was just a little skilled in carving insects, and she was smiling and generous."

"Where is it, Brother Yulang is really too modest, Ling Mei's memory of playing the pipa is so exquisite, how can it be a small skill of carving insects."

The female guests here, after listening to Miss Wang's piano, listened to Miss Pang's pipa, and changed a kind of grid, and the two of them had their own merits.

A lady knew that the young lady in front of her was Mrs. Pang's young daughter, and complimented her.

"Mrs. Pang, your little daughter is really amazing, a pipa playing is amazing, what a blessing, having such an excellent daughter."

Listening to the compliments, Mrs. Pang's mood only felt wonderful, although she felt that her daughter was so good, she could only be modest.

"Where, where, you really won the award, and my daughter can play this pipa quite passable, what is the surprise."

This Miss Pang's pipa playing is really good, and Rong Yin also talked to Liu and Rouge.

"Mother, this Miss Pang's pipa playing is really good, it seems that she has put in a lot of effort."

"Yes, Mrs. Pang suddenly talked about competing for talent today, and she definitely hoped that her daughter would win the top spot and become famous in one fell swoop."

"How is it possible, that white jade bracelet, I am determined to get it."

Rouge's proud look made Liu and Zhou Rongyin laugh.

"You, you, don't be too proud, you see that these two young ladies who play musical instruments are good, and Miss Zhang who danced at the beginning, this competition is still very big, remember not to take it lightly."

"I see, grandmother, you can rest assured."

It was Chu Jingting's turn to perform her talent on stage.

Zhou Jingya felt very unhappy when she saw Rouge's determined look, and told Chu Jingting.

"You have to perform well, and you must not lose the people of my Chu family, you know?"

The fierce expression fell in Chu Jingting's eyes, making Chu Jingting feel a burst of disgust.

But others can't see it, those ladies know that Zhou Jingya only has a sister-in-law of Chu Wenyu under her knees, and what she brought today is a pair of concubines and concubines, and they joked.

"Lord Jingya, she is really gentle and charitable, this daughter is really a good mother when she competes in her talents, and she advises her so carefully."

"Who's to say it isn't? Although this is not my own daughter, just a concubine born of a concubine and aunt, I am ashamed to still care for me like this. ”
