Chapter 184: New Year's Guitar (Part I)
Because the street is too lively, so Zhao Yan's carriage can't go fast, when he returns to the palace, it is almost two watches, but compared to other places, Zhao Yan's mansion is more lively in front of the door, a group of young servants with the fireworks purchased in the house keep setting off, attracting many people around to watch, and even the people in the house are gathered in front of the door, especially those young maids, seeing the fireworks are even more excited, the result is that those guys who light the fireworks are even more excited.
For the actions of these subordinates in the mansion, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying not only did not stop it, but also smiled and looked at it for a while, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the subordinates in the mansion also need to relax, did not see the housekeeper Lao Fu also mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement, so it can be seen that the actions of these servants are all through his tacit approval.
did not alarm Lao Fu them, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying returned to the inner house, when they came to the main hall of Zhao Yan's room, they happened to see Xue Ning'er decorating the room with Mi Xue, only to see that this main hall was also full of lights, and even the festive window flowers were pasted on the window paper, it seemed that they had also spent a lot of effort.
Mi Xue was specially left by Cao Ying to decorate the room, as for Xue Ning'er, she was invited by Zhao Yan to celebrate the New Year with them, Xue Ning'er was also very happy about this, speaking of since she entered the Qinglou, the first few years have been practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, after becoming famous in the past few years, she has to see a group of guests every day, and sometimes she has to play the piano and sing songs, although it seems to be very easy, but the hard work is only known to herself, and it is even more difficult to live in peace during the New Year every year, because some guests do not even go home for the New Year. Instead, he would stay in the Qinglou all night, and Xue Ning's childhood would be asked by his mother to come out to meet guests from time to time, and he had no time to celebrate the New Year.
Thinking of the bitterness of these years, Xue Ning'er also felt sour, but thinking that she could be invited by Zhao Yan to celebrate the New Year, this made her happy again, no matter what happened tomorrow, she must have a happy New Year today.
"Hey, why did the prince and the princess come back, didn't the two princesses come back?" At this time. Xue Ning'er finally saw Zhao Yan and Cao Ying coming in from outside. He asked, a little puzzled.
"The second sister and the third sister originally wanted to come back, but in the end they were called by the Queen Mother, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back today." Zhao Yan also said helplessly at this time, originally he also wanted to have a lively New Year with his two sisters. But unexpectedly, it was disrupted by Empress Dowager Cao. But that's not surprising. After all, Empress Dowager Cao usually loves Princess Shoukang the most, and she has no children, so at a time like the Chinese New Year. Naturally, Princess Shoukang will accompany her, and if she calls Princess Shoukang, Princess Bao'an will naturally not be missing.
Hearing that Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang couldn't come back, Xue Ning'er couldn't help but hesitate, originally she thought that there would be a lot of people today, but now only Zhao Yan and Cao Ying are left, and in the end, there is only one guest like herself, so she seems a little redundant, after all, it is a beautiful thing for the husband and wife to celebrate the New Year together, and if she is an outsider who stays here and does not leave, it will be a little too uninteresting.
Zhao Yan is a big grinning character, and he didn't notice the change in the expression on Xue Ning'er's face, but Cao Ying saw Xue Ning'er's concerns at a glance, and said with a smile: "Although the second sister and the third sister can't come back, we also have to have a lively New Year, my husband and I plus Xue Niangzi, there are indeed a few fewer people, so let's sit down with Mixue and Xiaodou Sprouts, let's be lively together, anyway, the two of them will be the kings of the county sooner or later!" ”
Xue Ning'er couldn't help but be happy when she heard Cao Ying let Xiao Dou Sprouts and Mi Xue sit up together, and when she heard the last sentence, she panicked even more, Cao Ying is Zhao Yan's wife, and Xiao Bean Sprouts and Mi Xue will definitely be Zhao Yan's concubines in the future, and now they are sitting with them, so does this also mean......
Thinking of the end, Xue Ning'er couldn't help but feel that her face was hot, she only suddenly appeared now, through the time of getting along with each other, she didn't reject the above idea, and even faintly looked forward to it, if she could be by the side of a man like Zhao Yan, it seemed to be a good choice. Xue Ning'er, who was just thinking about her thoughts, did not appear, and her expression was completely seen by Cao Ying.
"Oh, why are you pinching me?" Zhao Yan, who was about to sit down and take a rest, suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and it was Cao Ying beside him who pinched him, although it was not very painful, but it made people feel a little inexplicable.
"It's okay, I pinched the wrong person!" Cao Ying whispered angrily, although she tried her best to hide, she still couldn't hide the sour breath in her tone. In fact, Zhao Yan is not to blame for this matter at all, it's just that the woman is jealous, but there is no reason to talk about it at all.
Xue Ning'er and Mi Xue have not eaten yet, although Zhao Yan and Cao Ying have just participated in the family banquet in the palace, that kind of banquet is mainly talking rather than eating, the two did not eat anything at all, especially Zhao Yan left halfway, so now he also feels a little hungry, so he immediately ordered someone to bring the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone chatted while eating.
Zhao Yan is an easy-going character, and he is very knowledgeable and talkative, Mi Xue and Xiao Bean Sprouts are also very lively temperaments, Xue Ning'er was a little unable to let go at first, but as time went by, she slowly began to join in, only Cao Ying has not recovered from the vinegar just now, although she also chatted a few words from time to time, but more time was thinking about something, and sometimes she would look up at Xue Ning'er and Mi Xue and Xiao Bean Sprouts, and she didn't know what she was thinking?
A lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten until midnight, and then Zhao Yan and they began to play mahjong with great interest, this thing was also made by Zhao Yan some time ago, Cao Ying After they learned, they almost couldn't let go, when Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang were in the past, they almost had to play every night, especially Princess Bao'an, don't look at her poor health, but mahjong played the best, Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang their own money was about to be lost, and sometimes they had to borrow from Zhao Yan.
It's a pity that Princess Bao'an is not here today, but fortunately, there are also small bean sprouts and Mixue, just enough for four women, although Zhao Yan can play, but he is not very fascinated by mahjong, plus the little bean sprouts are too stupid, so he sits behind the little bean sprouts to help her look at the cards, lest she win the cards and don't know.
Vigil is actually a very boring thing, the later life is good, there is a lot of entertainment to kill time, such as watching TV, playing computers, playing mobile phones, but the era of the Song Dynasty is somewhat single, Zhao Yan they can only use mahjong to kill time, in fact, the future life is the same, many people after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they have been playing mahjong until dawn, and then drag their tired bodies to pay New Year's greetings, come back and fall asleep, the first day of the new year is like this.
At the beginning, Cao Ying and they were still playing with great interest, but as time went by, the four girls all felt a little sleepy, especially Cao Ying followed Zhao Yan outside for an afternoon, at this time she felt even more sleepy and tired, and there were always mistakes when playing cards, and she fed a lot of cards to the next family's Mixue, which made Mixue take the opportunity to win a few times.
Xue Ning'er, who was sitting opposite, saw Cao Ying's poor spirits, and immediately smiled and said, "It's not interesting just to play cards, why don't you let me play a song for everyone?" ”
Hearing that Xue Ning'er was going to play the piano, Xiao Bean Sprouts and Mi Xue also applauded loudly, Cao Ying also knew that Xue Ning'er was thinking about herself, and she also smiled and nodded in agreement, but at this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly said: "Xue Xing is slow, you and Mi Xue must have been very tired when you and Mi Xue set up the room before, so why don't you let me play a song, so that everyone can listen to this king's attainments in musical instruments?" ”
"Husband? You can even play the piano? As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Cao Ying, who was originally a little mentally weak, immediately opened her eyes wide, and asked with an incredible expression on her face, and the sleepiness just now was thrown out of the clouds by her.
"Hehe, I can't play the piano, but I can play another instrument!" Zhao Yan looked mysterious at this time, then turned around and entered his room, and took out the guitar, Xue Ning'er saw this kind of guitar that she had adjusted by herself, and couldn't help but show a look of expectation, she wanted to listen to Zhao Yan play this new instrument before, but Zhao Yan had to wait until the Chinese New Year to play, which also gave her a reason to stay, and now she can finally enjoy this instrument.
I saw Zhao Yan let Xiao Bean Sprouts move a high stool, then sat in front of Cao Ying and the others, adjusted the guitar in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Okay, now I'll play and sing a song for everyone first!" ”
Cao Ying saw the musical instrument in Zhao Yan's hand that was somewhat similar to the pipa, and she also showed a curious look for a while. I saw Zhao Yan clear his throat, his fingers pressed on the strings to brew feelings, and then he played gently, accompanied by the bright rhythm of Ding Dong, Zhao Yan looked at Cao Ying with an affectionate face and sang: "I can't forget the first time I saw you, a pair of charming eyes, in my mind, your figure can't be dispersed, hold your hands and feel your gentleness, it's really a little breathless, your innocence, I want to cherish it, I will be sad to see you wronged......"
This "Love has to be a last resort" is one of the most popular songs when Zhao Yan was in high school, at that time, Zhao Yan, like most boys, had a girl he liked in his heart, this affectionate love song can be said to sing his heart, so Zhao Yan also liked it the most, after learning to play the guitar, he practiced this tune.
It's a pity that the feelings of the year have already dispersed like the wind, and only this song is left in Zhao Yan's heart, and at this time, it was even sung to Cao Ying, but I don't know if Cao Ying can appreciate this kind of popular song in later generations? (To be continued!)
