There are several places of living water in the courtyard, all of which were brought in by the mountain. Lingshui Pavilion is on the west side of the annex, and the terrain next to it is higher than the side. At the top, there is a small pavilion with four corners.

Jiang Qinyue was sitting in the gazebo, intoxicated stroking the piano.

I have to say that she has worked piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

At this point, Tang Yanning sighed to herself.

The sound of the piano flowed out from Jiang Qinyue's fingers, soft and tactful, and the majesty of the summer, as if it could leap over the clouds, jumping and jubilant.

The beauty of the piano is even more beautiful, Jiang Qinyue is dressed in plain clothes like snow, the wind is blowing, the skirt is flying, and she is like a fairy.

With such a beauty and such a piano sound, it is no wonder that no one outside the courtyard has reconciled with the sound of the flute.

Tang Yanning stood at the bottom of the pavilion, covering half of her face and listening, the sound of the piano and flute was lingering, and they could achieve each other. Obviously, the person who strokes the piano is far away from the person playing the flute outside the wall, and he should have never seen it, but from this pleasant rhythm, people can hear some of the meaning of spiritual connection.

Sour, too sour.

Tang Yanning really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she walked up the stairs with her skirt and entered the pavilion.

After a few slaps, Tang Yanning seemed to have a smile on her face, "Cousin Qinyue's piano skills are becoming more and more outstanding." Looking at Beijing, I am afraid that few people can compare with my cousin. ”

Since entering the courtyard, the third wife and Tang Yanhua have been a little eager to go out, but Jiang Qinyue is very honest, except for going out to eat, almost all of them nest in the guest house, or reading books, or playing the piano, with an honest style.

This also made the maid sent by Tang Yanning lose his vigilance.

I didn't expect that at this time, I would be able to call her to the Lingshui Pavilion.

Jiang Qinyue stopped and stood up with a smile, "Cousin A Ning, didn't you take a break?" ”

"I heard that my cousin is playing the piano here, where can I sleep?" Tang Yanning walked to the middle of the pavilion, and Gu Yu immediately stepped forward and laid a cushion on the stone chair for Tang Yanning to sit down.

Tang Yanning sat next to Jiang Qinyue, held her chin, and motioned to Jiang Qinyue, "Cousin, go on, I listen very well." ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Jiang Qinyue's beautiful eyes. Tang Yanning's posture, what did she do? A music girl for recreation?

"You, in the past, the husband at home asked you to learn, and you were always lazy. Now you're laughing at me again! Jiang Qinyue quickly covered her displeasure, sat with her hands on her knees, and looked dignified and natural. At a glance, no one would believe that Fang Cai's slightly frivolous and lingering piano sound was played by her.

Jiang Qinyue covered her lips and chuckled, "Or, let's talk about a game?" I remember my cousin's chess skills were pretty good. ”

The sound of the flute outside the wall flickered, and the clearer and more cheerful.

Tang Yanning pointed outside, shook her head and said, "Cousin, you have always worked hard. In front of the old lady and father, the gentleman can only praise you. Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, don't talk about me, even if the three of us sisters are pinched together, they are not your opponents. My brain hasn't been gnawed off by pigs, so why should I be abused by you? It's you, cousin, the flutes outside are hurrying, are they urging you? ”

"Cousin!" Jiang Qinyue furrowed her eyebrows, and her expression became solemn, "Where do you start with this?" The first time I came here, I was here to play the piano well, and I didn't know anything about the outside, let alone the people outside. If your words were to be spread outside, would I not become a frivolous person? ”

At this, her hibiscus face flashed with anger.

Tang Yanning smiled, "My cousin is really a person who keeps courtesies. But as the saying goes, under the melon field and plums, outside the wall, is the wild road on the mountain. The saint moved to the palace, and now there are people coming and going on the road. My cousin sat here stroking the piano, and it was inevitable that she would be heard. Isn't this it, the disciple who responded with the flute outside must have regarded his cousin as a frivolous woman who could flirt at will. ”

Seeing that Jiang Qinyue's pretty face was flushed with anger, Tang Yanning's eyes were even more smiling, "Cousin, don't be angry." We grew up together, and I can naturally trust your character. However, in the end, the courtyard is too close to the palace, and the saints, princes, and important ministers are all there, and you are playing the qin by the wall, so that people who don't know you will inevitably suspect that you have ill intentions and want to climb the dragon and the phoenix. ”

"I know my cousin has been unhappy with me since the last time." Jiang Qinyue was already so angry that she had tears in her eyes, she bit her lip with her teeth, but her eyes were staring at Tang Yanning, "I live here, I guess you and your aunt don't like it either." In that case, you just say it, why do you want to humiliate me with trumped-up charges? ”

She got up and wanted to leave, "I'll leave ...... now."

"Cousin, this is ......" Tang Yanning tapped her finger on the stone table and said slowly, "Are you annoyed and angry?" ”

"You!"

Tang Yan smiled and said coldly: "What you want, you know it in your heart, and I know it in my heart." I'm not going to stop you, but don't try to take anyone else for a fool. This kind of small means, or put it away in the future. With the help of small means that do not enter the stream, even if you get what you want, you will eventually fall behind. ”

This remark simply stripped Jiang Qinyue's face off.

Jiang Qinyue trembled with anger.

After a moment, however, she calmed down again. Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qinyue sat opposite Tang Yanning.

"What my cousin said makes sense, but I can't agree with it." Jiang Qinyue and Tang Yanning looked at each other, and the corners of Zhu Hong's mouth curled up with a touch of coolness, "Since ancient times, you have become a king and a defeated king, but let me stand on a high place, why should I care about those slanderous words?" Those are just those who look up to me, who hate me but take my helpless incompetence. ”

Tang Yanning looked at Jiang Qinyue thoughtfully, "According to what you say, just to achieve yourself, it doesn't matter if you do whatever it takes?" ”

Jiang Qinyue smiled, "Why not?" ”

Her eyes were full of mockery, "That's why I hate you so-called ladies the most." I want to catch the golden beetle, but I can't let go of that ridiculous figure, duplicity, and disgusting hypocrisy. ”

"Cousin, don't forget, you were also raised as a lady." Tang Yanning sighed, "Even if it doesn't make people look up to it, what is wrong with self-esteem and self-respect?" Although I have a lot of friction with you, I have to admit that my cousin is outstanding in appearance and talent, even if she does not rely on the Guogong Mansion, she will not worry about a good future in the future. Why should you despise yourself? ”

"Tang Yanning, do you really think that I can only rely on the Guogong Mansion to find a good future?" Jiang Qinyue was a little angry. Why? She is obviously the blood of Tang Guogong, and the background of Guogong Mansion is real, what kind of "relying on Guogong Mansion" is counted? Obviously, everything she got was what she should have, why did everyone, especially in Tang Yanning's eyes, become the grace given to her by the Guogong Mansion?

Jiang Qinyue's appearance is soft and beautiful, and she seems to be peaceful, but she is actually a high-minded and arrogant person.

When she was young, she also felt inferior to herself in the mansion of the country. is older, and after learning his identity, he has more resentment on top of this inferiority.

Not only resented Su Xuerou for not knowing that there was no means to check, but still the concubine was still unknown, and also resented Tang Guogong's indifference to their mother and daughter - no matter how much favor is seen by outsiders, it is just a kind charity, where is it better than giving yourself a legitimate background?

Of course, Jiang Qinyue's most resentful people are Lin and Tang Yanning. In her opinion, if there were no mother and daughter, the Duchess of the Kingdom, and the daughter of the Duke of the Mansion, these decent and glorious identities should have belonged to Su Xuerou and her.

She looked at Tang Yanning coldly, and she couldn't wait to rise immediately, watching Tang Yanning crawling at her feet and begging humbly.

"Even if there is no Tang State Mansion, I Jiang Qinyue can still get what I want. Tang Yanning, take a good look at it, this Dragon Boat Festival feast, you or me, can shine in the eyes of nobles! ”

After speaking, Jiang Qinyue sneered a few times and left proudly.

"I'm really sick!"

Gu Yu said angrily.

"Forget it, she originally had such proud capital." Tang Yanning sighed. Heroine, there is always a halo. She had a hunch that Jiang Qinyue would definitely be able to get the attention she dreamed of at this Dragon Boat Festival.

A gust of wind blew, and the sound of the flute outside the wall was still blowing tirelessly. Tang Yanning's heart was on fire, and she hugged the qin, a little heavy, so she could only give up. Scoping his eyes around, he grabbed a roadside stone and walked to the wall, and smashed it out with all his might.

The next moment, I heard a scream of "ah" outside, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.
