CHAPTER XXI

"Mother, aunt."

It was Cui Yujin who spoke, and he stepped in first, followed by Chen Ziyao.

Cui Yuzhu turned her head to look, and it happened that Chen Ziyao was looking at her, the two looked at each other, and the starry stars in those eyes made her stunned.

Chen Ziyao is two years older than Cui Yujin, and he is already twenty-one years old, more mature than Cui Yujin, and he looks more heroic.

"Cousin."

Cui Yuzhu avoided his eyes and gave a slight blessing, "Cousin." ”

Chen Ziyao fixed his eyes on her, Cui Yujin walked to Cui Yuzhu's side just to block it, he bent down slightly and whispered to her: "Sister, my cousin brought you a gift from Suzhou, and you will be surprised to see it later." ”

Cui Yuzhu couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but glance at him, but took two steps forward to talk to Chen Nanying.

Chen Nanying took a handkerchief out and gave it to her, and said, "I also brought you a gift from Suzhou, although it is not valuable, but it is my heart." ”

Cui Yuzhu took it, and saw that one side of the handkerchief was embroidered with a picture of a kitten fluttering butterfly, and the other side was embroidered with a magpie and a plum picture, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is double-sided embroidery?" Sister embroidered? ”

"I embroidered it, does my sister like it?" Chen Nanying said.

Cui Yuzhu used her fingertips to follow the silk, only to feel fine and even, tight fingers, and said busily: "I naturally like it!" Sister is really amazing, this embroidery is dense and consistent, the two sides are different but do not show stitches, which can be called a must. ”

He said: "This embroidery method can't be embroidered even by Xu Ying'er...... Alas, my sister really admires it tightly, is my sister willing to teach me? ”

Chen Nanying said: "What's so difficult about this? It's just that the double-sided embroidery method is quite painstaking, and my sister is not boring. ”

"If my sister is willing to teach me double-sided embroidery, I will also teach my sister to weave knots, but I usually create my own knots, you see my brother's sword hanging on it, it is the sword spike I braided, what does my sister think?"

Chen Nanying nodded and said, "It's pretty beautiful." ”

Cui Yujin dismantled her platform and said: "You still said, you didn't force me to hang up?" ”

"Nonsense, it's obvious that you are begging for it from me."

Cui Yuzhu is really angry with him sometimes, and he doesn't save her face in front of so many people.

Chen Ziyao had no deterrent power at all when he saw that she was angry, his little face was flushed, and his eyes were glaring, but he was more beautiful than when he was quiet.

He took the conversation and said, "I think this sword spike is very chic, and it is just right for my sword, if Yu Jin doesn't want it, give it to me, right?" ”

How dare Cui Yujin transfer the sword spike to others at this time, so she had to say: "This is an old thing, how can there be a reason to give it to you, if my cousin likes it, it's not easy for my sister to make up another one?" ”

Chen Ziyao looked at Cui Yuzhu with a smile in his eyes when he heard this, "Cousin Lao has worked hard, and I will also give one to hang up." ”

Cui Yuzhu had no choice but to nod, "It's good if my cousin doesn't dislike it." ”

"Thank you, cousin."

Cui's second wife, Chen, and Zhang looked at a group of children chattering, and said with a smile: "I still thought that after not seeing each other for so long, these children would be divided, but now it seems that I am thinking too much." ”

"yes." Zhang agreed, "I am the same age, and I am my own, so I can naturally talk about one place." ”

Second Mrs. Cui bowed her head, "Exactly." ”

He added, "If Nan Ying likes your sister, she will move in with her for a few days, first, not to be lonely, and secondly, to let her grow more skills." ”

Although Chen Nanying was reluctant in her heart, she did not show anything on her face. She thought about it, in fact, there are a lot of benefits, at least she can make a lot of noble girls in the capital through Cui Yuzhu, and it is not in vain for her to go to Beijing.

All kinds of thoughts flashed, and Chen Nanying said: "Nanying listens to my aunt." ”

……

Cui Yuzhu lives in the Linglong Pavilion in the West Courtyard, and Chen Nanying moved in another room, Cui Yuzhu has a request for her, and she is also courteous to her, and she has to ask about what she eats.

Cui Yujin said that Chen Ziyao brought her a gift and promised that she would be surprised, and Cui Yuzhu knew that Chen Ziyao gave her a piano named "Phoenix Tail".

Although it is a famous product, it is a pity that she has not played the piano for several years, and it is really a waste in her hands.

Don't blame Cui Yujin for making fun of her, Cui Yuzhu is embarrassed every time she thinks about it.

When she was eight years old, Cui Bai hired a luthier to teach her music, and she studied it seriously for two years, but forced out a total of three piano masters.

Without exception, she said that she had no talent, and the sound of the piano was old-fashioned and soulless, Cui Yuzhu didn't know how many times she cried in those two years, and later found out that she really couldn't learn well, so she let go.

Chen Ziyao knew that she liked to play the piano, so he gave her a famous piano, and Cui Yuzhu was grateful.

Looking at the simple and quaint phoenix tail, she remembered what happened when she was a child, and she couldn't help but itch.

Cui Yuzhu put the piano on the table, adjusted the scale by memory, and sat there at the back end when she was ready, with a flick of her fingers, it was a "knock......

No, it's not tuned.

After working for a while, I picked up the strings again, but it was the sound of "......", although I couldn't hear anything wrong, but I always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

After a while, the sound of waiting for the moment came to Chen Nanying's ears, and she couldn't wait to stuff some cotton into her ears, which made her feel confused.

Chen Nanying is one of the best, she knows that she is wrong at the first moment, and there is also a problem with fingering, and it is so bad that people don't want to point out.

She thought to herself: In terms of appearance, it is difficult for me to compare with her, but in terms of talent, she is far inferior to me...... No wonder the reputation is not obvious, it turns out that he just has a beautiful appearance.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Chen Nanying was relieved, and after a while, a pleasant sound of the piano came.

The sound of the piano is sometimes thin and long, sometimes like a storm crashing on the shore, which is very different from the so-called waiting.

Well?

Could it be that the person who played it earlier was not Cui Yuzhu? Is this it?

Chen Nanying couldn't resist her curiosity and went to Cui Yuzhu's room, as soon as she got closer, she felt that the sound of the piano was very familiar, and when she went to see it again, it was really him.

Chen Ziyao sat next to her and patiently demonstrated to her.

Cui Yuzhu learned from him to stir the strings in general, and sure enough, it was a crisp sound that popped up, and she couldn't help laughing, she said: "Ah, it turns out that it's not that I can't learn well, it's that they can't teach." ”

Chen Ziyao saw that she was happy, and also smiled, "My cousin is smart, and she naturally learns everything quickly." ”

"Don't praise me indiscriminately, and make fun of my brother when he hears it."

Chen Ziyao said seriously: "I am just stating the facts. ”

Cui Yuzhu was not familiar with him before, and he didn't dare to talk to him much, but now he knows that he is enthusiastic and very good at talking.

"Maybe it's because this anchovid is so good, but it's also too precious, my cousin really gave me a big gift."

"It's good if my sister likes it, it's not a big gift, compared to this piano, my cousin's sword spike is a big gift."

After he reminded him, Cui Yuzhu thought that he had forgotten all the gifts he was going to give him, and he was embarrassed at the moment, so he hurriedly said: "That's just a thing to make up for fun when you have nothing to do, if my cousin likes it, it's easy for me to make up a few more for you." ”

Chen Ziyao said: "Where do you dare to make your cousin work so hard, one is good, only one will be cherished, if there are more, it will not be beautiful." ”

"Hmm." Cui Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "This is reasonable." ”

Chen Nanying stood at the door, listened to the conversation between the two people, and couldn't help but step into the house anymore, just pretending to be just here, and said in surprise: "Hey, why is my brother here?" ”
