Chapter 12: Phoenix Seeking Phoenix VS Qingfeng Song
At the end of the song, Miaoqin played it with great pleasure and the audience was very satisfied. Shi Yan's music is very rare for someone to play the flavor, let alone the charm of the breeze song, which is difficult to grasp. Miaoqin also learned the piano since she was a child, and she has never been unsatisfactory in the Yi family, but as a young lady and a big girl, she always has to shoulder the responsibility, so she also bears some pressure. In this song, she deduces her gentleness, her tenacity, and her brightness, which is very unique.
"You say this maid's name is Miaoqin? This piano art is really wonderful! Meng Qihan has also heard a lot of music, and others have played Qingfeng music in front of him, among which there are many skilled piano masters, but none of them are so moving as this maid. The pianist is more concerned about the skill when playing the piano, a good note, a continuous song, this breeze song played by the wonderful qin, in detail, is also two wrong positions, but it is full of emotion, but it is more popular.
"The prince of the world is too famous, where can the slave and maid bear such praise." Miaoqin stood up and performed a worship salute, behind which were pretty moon flowers, the flowers were blown by the wind and swayed, lined with Miaoqin's elegant and vulgar, and her body seemed to have a light spirit, only to see her beautiful appearance, peach cheeks with a smile, and there was indescribable tenderness in the air.
Miaoqin is not the best-looking maid in Yongle Ju, and in Yongle Ju, Fluttershy is the most outstanding; But when Miaoqin laughs, she is always gentle, bright and very moving, which Yi Xiangxiang has praised. Now she was standing by the flowers, with such a smile on her face, which shook Meng Qihan's mind, and he stared at Miaoqin blankly, the kind of gaze that a man looks at a woman.
Yi Xiangxiang knows this kind of vision too well, she was outstanding in her previous life, and she often received such infatuated eyes, she frowned slightly.
"What a beautiful piano sound, you guys are so Yaxing!" Yi Ruonan appeared at the door of Yongle Courtyard, with an oil bottle Yi Ruofu behind her. The two walked up to Meng Qihan with their luggage, and the latter had already come back to his senses and shouted in a deep voice.
"Big sister An, fifth sister An......" Yi Luochuan got up to say hello to the two sisters; Growing up and being orderly, he has been taught by the Lin family to be polite since he was a child, and he will not be easily caught in the wrong place in terms of behavior.
Yi Xiangxiang reluctantly went down to the ground to say hello to the two sisters, if there was no Meng Qihan at the scene, she would not give Yi Ruonan and Yi Ruofu face, but now that outsiders are there, she can't afford to lose Lin's face. After all, juniors have no rules, and it is always the elders who take the blame.
"Big sister An, fifth sister An......" Yi Xiangxiang also said hello.
Yi Ruonan smiled and said, "Third brother An, eighth sister An!" We are a family, so we don't need to be so polite! ”
What Yi Ruonan said in this sentence simply put Yi Xiangxiang in his throat with a mouthful of old blood! Damn, I didn't come down after Meng Qihan said that I didn't have to be polite, and I didn't come down if you just said that I didn't need to be polite, and now I'm done greeting you to come to such a sentence, and it's also troublesome to be considerate and generous, okay? Yi Xiangxiang secretly scolded Yi Ruonan in her heart.
It won't be good to implement a ritual, Yi Xiangxiang is the person who annoys the second room, when they don't come, the Yi family is so clean, and they don't have to hide it when they do things by themselves; Since they came, not only did they have to do something every day, but their mother was also very worried that the second uncle would bring trouble to the Yi family, and they were all worried about losing weight. There is also this Yi Ruonan, smart is smart, but it is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, looking at her performance these days, she has brought the limelight to Yi Fu when she sees the sky, don't you know that the tree is a big wind? also went to the guest house all day long, how could Meng Qihan's identity take a fancy to her? This forced everyone to dodge, but they still chased after them! If this really offends the Hou Mansion, Dafang will definitely bear the brunt. It's probably not in line with the second room, or the magnetic field between people is relative, and she thinks that the people in the second room are not pleasing to the eye anyway.
As a mature soul, Yi Xiangxiang rarely has such children's emotions, but she feels in her heart that this second room will one day poke a big basket for the Yi family, and she is hostile to all potential threats that will destroy her life and comfort.
Yi Xiangxiang smirked and asked Le Qi to carry her back to the high stool chair. As soon as she sat down, she heard Yi Ruonan say to Miaoqin: "You just played the breeze song?" Played well. In one sentence, I confessed that I am also a person who understands the piano.
"I also think that Miss Miaoqin's music is good, and it is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Meng Qihan said what he thought, he really appreciated Miaoqin.
Miaoqin stood by the piano case, and accepted the praise gently and lovely: "Xie Shizi appreciates, Miss Xie appreciates." "The posture is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Which gentleman did Miaoqin learn from? I have to pay a good visit to Ming'er and ask my husband about his piano skills. "Most of the people who taught the piano in the Li Dynasty were women, but here, whether it was a woman or a man, as long as there was a tauger, they were all honored as Mr.
Yi Ruonan didn't really want to know who Miaoqin's teacher was, but just hoped that Miaoqin would tell how she learned it, because Yi Ruonan thought that such a little girl's teacher might be which grandmother, after all, how could the maid invite any gentleman to teach, Yi Ruonan just wanted to use this to press Miaoqin in terms of identity.
"It's not a gentleman who teaches Miaoqin, Miaoqin has been with the eldest lady since she was a child, and the piano art is also taught by the eldest lady." Miaoqin was not embarrassed, and told it carefully, and no one noticed that she did not call herself a slave.
Meng Qihan and Yi Ruonan, who were present, were a little surprised by Miaoqindi's reply, neither of them thought that the eldest lady Lin was still a woman with outstanding piano skills. Meng Qihan knew that the lady of the Yifu Dafang, Lin Shihan, was from the Lin family in Kyoto, and the Lin family was a family of hairpins for generations, and it had been standing in the Li Dynasty for a hundred years. The current head of the family, Lin Zhen, is even more skillful, and once served as the prince and prince, that is, the teacher of the current Emperor Shengwen; Although Lin Zhen has now retreated into the background, his son Lin Chong has already worshiped the position of prime minister. However, this Lin Shihan is just a small leaf in the big tree of the Lin family, and his father Lin Hai is only a relative of the Lin family, and the Lin family will not even invite him to the main banquet in the festival.
Meng Qihan tapped the fan lightly, thoughtfully; Now it seems that it is not unreasonable that the Lin family has a far-reaching and long-standing history, and even a foreign concubine like the Lin family has such talent, so what should those direct relatives of the Lin family do.
Although Meng Qihan is not a gentleman, he has nothing to do with diligence and studiousness, and people like them don't need to take the exam to pick the top prize in the flower exam, as long as they have the blessing of the family to sit and wait for the lord, so Meng Qihan feels that he is not a person who is a hard-working child of the Lin family, so he has never dealt with it.
However, Meng Qihan is looking down on the young people of the new generation of the Lin family this time, Lin Shihan just happens to be talented and talented, and the current Lin family, although Lin Chong is an official and worships the prime minister, his direct descendants are not as good as the generation. That's all for later.
"It turned out to be my aunt's closed disciple! I never thought that my aunt was not only good at managing the family's accounts, but also had such a high level of piano skills. Yi Xiangxiang was surprised and then answered, although she was too vain, she had always been smart, and naturally made the scene beautiful.
"The eldest lady is from the Hayashi family in Kyoto, so it is not surprising that she has such a talent." Meng Qihan took a piece of jujube paste cake from the cypress square table engraved with peach blossoms sideways, and said with a smile. This jujube mud cake looks very good on a shadow green glazed plate, which arouses his appetite.
Yi Ruonan's eyebrows, Kyoto's Lin family? She suddenly remembered something: "Kyoto Lin family? But the Jindu Lin family, where Lord Lin Zhenlin, the Holy Master, is located? Today's Prime Minister's Office? "Isn't that the Lin family who drove them out of Beijing in the first place? Of course, she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Otherwise, which Lin family is there in Kyoto?" Meng Qihan finished eating the small jujube paste cake in one bite, he took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "What?" Miss Yi didn't even know the identity of her aunt? "It stands to reason that those who bring relatives must know more or less.
"I've never heard the elders mention it, and I think the adults also think that these things are not for us to know as juniors." In fact, although Yi Ruonan knew that the Lin family's surname was Lin, she never connected her with the Lin family in Kyoto; She was already six years old when the Dafang family left Centennial County, but she had never heard of the relationship between the Lin family and the Lin family of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In fact, not only Yi Ruonan, but even Yi Tangquan and Huang don't know. The former didn't ask about these things, indulging in Flower Street and Willow Lane, and the latter was dizzy by the warbler Yanyan in the backyard, which was never asked. Moreover, since the Lin family married into the Yi family, they rarely interacted with the Lin family again, and even saw their father Lin Hai only a handful of times every year.
Seeing this scene, Yi Luochuan knew that he could not cause a misunderstanding in the second room, so he said: "The branch where my mother is located and the direct line of the Lin family are almost relatives of the five suits, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something we dare to climb." ”
In fact, what Yi Luochuan said is also reasonable, Lin Hai can't even compete with the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone Lin Shihan, who is Lin Hai's concubine. However, at the beginning, Lin Shihan said to the little girl that she didn't have to worry about being blamed by the Prime Minister's Mansion for taking in the second room, firstly, because she felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion could not afford to lose this face, and secondly, she also felt that if the Prime Minister's Mansion really wanted to study it in detail, she would also know that she was a concubine of the Lin family, so it would not be too difficult.
"I see." Yi Ruonan suddenly realized.
Yi Xiangxiang had lost interest when she saw the two sisters just now, and the topic of discussion at this time was even more fun, so she told the maids to put the piano away. I thought to myself that this Yongle House is a vegetable market, why do you love to come uninvited.
"Eighth sister, don't put away the piano first, since you like to listen to music, how about letting me stroke a song?" Yi Ruonan walked to the piano case, and the lady fan in her hand shook gently; She lightly opened her lips to seek the consent of the others present, but in fact, she was only seeking Meng Qihan's consent.
Yi Ruonan is very polite and has a good posture, but Yi Ruofu is not an interesting and sensible person, she hurriedly said after her eldest sister's words: "That is, who can compare to my eldest sister in terms of piano skills!" The snort in his voice was palpable.
Although Meng Qihan was not interested in Yi Ruonan, it was not easy to refute the girl's face, so he said: "Then it's hard Miss Yi." ”
Yi Ruonan is still very confident in her piano skills, she heard the sound of the piano on the way to Yongleju, and found an obvious mistake, if the breeze song is played by her, it is guaranteed that there will be no omission. Of course, she couldn't play Qingfeng Song again to prove her strength, so she chose to play Phoenix Qiuhuang.
Yi Xiangxiang sighed slightly in her heart when she heard the sound of the piano, and Yi Ruonan didn't attract Meng Qihan's attention when she danced the phoenix dance that day, let alone playing the piano, right? A moment ago, he secretly said that this Yi Ruonan is smart, and he usually does things well, but at this time, he would choose to fall twice in the same place.
In fact, Yi Ruonan pretended to be nothing on the surface, but he was also angry in his heart, and he could even be said to be dizzy. In the past few days, she has tried her best to get close to Meng Qihan, but the latter didn't care, but avoided her to listen to a maid playing the piano here, isn't this a mockery that she is not even as good as a maid? She was angry in her heart, so she chose this phoenix.
Phoenix is a well-known piece of music, and the dance made with it is not difficult to learn, but this piece is not easy for even professional pianists to challenge. Yi Ruonan has the attitude of "people fighting for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense", and he actually played very well, and there was not a single syllable, which is already very rare.
At the end of the song, Meng Qihan took the lead in applauding: "Miss Yi's piano skills are admirable!" ”
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this compliment, but Meng Qihan just praised Miaoqin for using the word "piano skills", while praising Yi Ruonan said "piano skills", which has been seen by superiors.
However, when Yi Ruonan came, he only heard the melodious sound of the piano, and did not hear Meng Qihan's praise of Miaoqin, because he didn't know that he had been defeated. In fact, Yi Xiangxiang also felt that Yi Ruonan was wronged, because her piano was indeed well caressed, but she chose such an uncontrollable song as Feng Qiuhuang, and her mind was focused on fingering, where would she care about the artistic conception of the song.
"I'll just say, the eldest sister's piano is the best, and she is a famous talented girl in a century-old county." Yi Ruofu's children spoke out for attention.
"What Miss Fifth said is that the eldest lady is indeed talented." Meng Qihan naturally didn't argue with Yi Ruofu, the little girl, he looked at the Miaoqin standing behind Yi Xiangxiang, and said: "Sister Xiangxiang's maid plays well, and Sister Xiangxiang's piano skills in the future will definitely be extremely outstanding." ”
Meng Qihan said it well, not only praised Yi Ruonan, but also praised Yi Xiangxiang, and even secretly praised Miaoqin. But Yi Ruofu felt that it was not right, why did this sound like she was superfluous? So he was a little dissatisfied: "I will be very good in the future!" By the way, Brother Shizi, why do you call the eighth sister a sister, but call us a young lady, doesn't the brother of the prince like us? ”
Yi Xiangxiang thought, it is estimated that you are the only one in the courtyard Yi Ruofu who went out without a brain, and you have to pierce that layer of window paper. However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect that the other party was still a little doll, and you can't expect all little dolls to have super high emotional intelligence.
"Sister Fu, don't be rude." Yi Ruonan saw that Meng Qihan's face was not worried, and hurriedly stopped his sister. She knew that Meng Qihan also gave them face, if they were really angry and started a fire, it would be enough for them to drink a pot!
"It's okay!" With just two words, Meng Qihan stopped talking.
Yi Xiangxiang felt that the scene became very embarrassing in an instant, and thought to herself that she really hoped that this group of people could stay away from her in the future, and not play the wit in front of her, she just wanted an ordinary and simple life of counting money!
"Sister Fu, you don't know, it's because I'm cute, where is it like you and the little fat man, it's not good-looking at all!" Yi Xiangxiang got up and stood on the chair, talking to Yi Ruofu from above, intending to use a child's mouth to break the topic and crumple it and solve it, so as not to ferment Meng Qihan's dissatisfaction, and finally become dissatisfied with the entire Yi Mansion. I really hope that these two sisters will be as far away from her as possible in the future, lest she have to pretend to be innocent to wipe the butts of these two children!
Yi Ruofu didn't admit it, who could compare to Yi Xiangxiang in terms of fatness, so she sneered: "Eighth sister, are you good-looking?" You're fatter than me, and your arms are as big as my legs, and you're embarrassed to say that you're embarrassed about me, you want to be ashamed! ”
Yi Xiangxiang was condescending, and she beat Yi Ruofu in momentum, only to see her spread her hands and say: "I don't want shame, you want a face to cover up your ugliness, I don't want to be beautiful." ”
The two children haven't grown up yet, and they can't see the beauty and ugliness, but Yi Xiangxiang's words still made Yi Ruofu angry instantly, and she blushed: "You, you, you, ......" found out that she didn't know how to go back, but she couldn't talk about Yi Xiangxiang, she could only stomp her feet away angrily. Yi Xiangxiang looked at the back of Yi Ruofu who left angrily, remembered the little quarrel with Yi Ruofu these days, and found that this girl really doesn't have a long memory, and she has to hit the south wall every time before turning back, but there is no malice in such a person, it's just stupid, just stupid.
"Sister, how can you bully like this...... Bully my sister! Yi Luochuan was still very strict with Yi Xiangxiang in front of outsiders, but he also knew that what he said was wrong, after all, it was indeed Yi Xiangxiang who was relatively young.
"Brother, you said it yourself, she is a sister, so how can there be a sister who can't get along with her sister." Yi Xiangxiang said.
"It's okay third brother, the fifth sister is spoiled by my mother, and she should be taught a good lesson." Yi Ruonan, a peacemaker, stood up very understandingly.
"It's still a big sister, not only good-looking, but also so considerate." Since Yi Xiangxiang has issued fairy tales, she naturally has to do the trick.
Yi Luochuan pinched his sister's small round hair and said, "Yes, your eldest sister is good, you are the naughtiest, I will go back to my mother and let her detain you to learn the rules." ”
Yi Xiangxiang is about to jump now: "Ah!! Brother don't want it, how can anyone learn the rules at such a young age! Now is the time to have fun, you know! ”
"Do you understand the loss of playthings?" Yi Luochuan was already about to pinch Yi Xiangxiang's round bun.
Meng Qihan, who was sitting on the side, saw that Yi Xiangxiang was really anxious, and the little girl was very pleasing quietly, so she didn't want to see her suppressed by her brother, so she hurriedly said something to help: "When I came, I heard my grandmother say that my aunt was very strict in governing the family, and now it seems that this is indeed the case; However, the children of the Kyoto family also began to learn the rules and read poetry at the age of eight, and Brother Chuan really didn't need to be too restrained by Sister Xiangxiang to learn the rules so early. The grandmother he said was Mrs. Jiang, and the aunt who praised him was Lin. Thinking that Meng Qihan just used the "eldest lady" to call Lin, he called his aunt at this time, which shows that he is still very satisfied with Yi Xiangxiang's children's "unintentional" solution, but Meng Qihan, as a junior, naturally can't say that the elder Lin has detained Yi Xiangxiang too much, so he can only use Yi Luochuan to talk.
"Look, even the prince is on my side." Yi Xiangxiang proudly knocked off Yi Luochuan's hand and asked Miaoqin to help tie the bun again.
"The son of the world doesn't know, my sister's temperament is really jumpy, you see, if she is lawless, she is afraid that she will be out of control in the future." Yi Luochuan said.
Meng Qihan disagreed: "It's just a girl, how can she be out of control?" Brother Sichuan is worried! ”
Yi Luochuan smiled and nodded in response, he had no intention of arguing with Meng Qihan about this issue, and there was nothing to talk about in depth about this issue, so he turned to ask about the scenery of Kyoto. Meng Qihan was familiar with Kyoto as well as his own yard, so he chatted with the people present. But it didn't take long, and soon after, a little maid came to report that Mrs. Hou had returned from the Centennial Temple, and sent someone to call Meng Qihan back to the guest house, and the group dispersed.
