Chapter Twenty-Eight

King Yan's Mansion is a carriage away from Yan's house, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour to arrive. When they got out of the car, they saw that there was already a lot of traffic in front of the Yanwang Mansion, and people were coming and going, and the sky was only slightly blue at this time, but the people had basically arrived, so it could be seen that the people who were invited attached great importance to this apprenticeship.

Don't look at Yan Xiuyu's young age, but his reputation as a leather monkey has been spread to everyone in Beijing, he doesn't like to read, and there are not ten but eight gentlemen who drove away, including many respected Confucians. Many people are strange, what kind of person can make Yan Xiuyu willingly perform a great prostration.

You need to know that this kind of apprenticeship is different from the ordinary master invited at home. In addition to preaching and teaching to the son, the teacher who worships the teacher also needs to teach the principles of life, and even help the students find a way out, so that they can truly be a teacher for one day and a father for life. The apprentice should make offerings to the master and listen to his teachings, and if the master asks him to do something, if he is disobedient, he will be guilty of unfilial piety.

Yan Songnian got out of the carriage at the front door and entered the house first, Yan Qingge was pulled to the side door, and several mothers-in-law and maids greeted her, carried her in a soft sedan chair, and took her to a flower hall where the ladies and ladies gathered.

Although this was the first time Yan Qingge had attended a party since she was reborn, she swept her eyes and recognized the people inside. It's just that she knows them decades later.

The beautiful woman who looks like a flower now, a few decades later, is an old lady with gray hair and a lot of words; Now the little girl who is coquettish next to her mother or grandmother, a few decades later, she will be the head mother of a royal mansion or aristocratic family......

There are many of them who became friends with Yan Qingge later, but now, they don't know themselves yet.

Because there was no adult to lead him, Yan Qingge's arrival did not attract attention. She crept over to a corner blocked by a pillar and observed the people in the room.

"Which sister are you, how come I have never seen you?" A girl's voice rang in her ears.

As soon as Yan Qingge turned around, he saw that it was a girl with crooked eyebrows and eyes, who was more than a head taller than herself, looking at her.

This girl has a natural heroic spirit in her eyebrows, her eyes are as bright as stars, her lips are slightly plump, she has no half jewelry on her body, and she doesn't even have ears and eyes.

As soon as he saw her, Yan Qingge couldn't help but smile happily and said, "I've seen my sister, I'm the eldest lady of Yan Mansion, my name is Qingge, and I rarely came out and walked around before." ”

"Oh! You are the Yan family who had a horse's head cut off yesterday. The girl suddenly realized, and she didn't care about Yan Qingge's face at all.

Yan Qingge was not angry. This girl is the daughter of Ling Ce, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, named Ling Xiao, and she is the most outspoken. Back then, when she was insulted as a fat pig by Yan Shuyu, who was the queen mother, at a banquet where noble ladies gathered, Ling Xiao spoke up righteously, so that Yan Shuyu couldn't say a word.

It's just a pity, because she married too low in her last life, and she had almost no intersection with Ling Xiao, who later became the princess of Zhong, and the two were naturally not friends.

She glanced at Yan Qingge a few times before and after, and said, "I guess it's you." My name is Ling Xiao, and I came with my mother. I just heard my mother say that the teacher that Yan Xiaowang wants to worship today is your uncle. Is there any way you can take me to the front? ”

Yan Qingge was stunned for a moment, and said: "The front is a place where men stay, we can't go."

"What are you afraid of, we are still young, so we don't shy away from it. What's more, the apprenticeship ceremony is about to start, aren't we here just to watch the apprenticeship ceremony, because I am a girl, I will be locked in the back, and I will be suffocated to death. ”

Ling Xiao took Yan Qingge's hand for granted and pointed outside; "Let's go into the courtyard, and if no one notices, we'll slip through the courtyard gate."

Yan Qingge was helpless for a while, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Sister Ling Xiao, there is a maid guarding the door, if we go over, we will definitely be arrested." Well, I'll play with you, and you won't be bored anymore. ”

Ling Xiao was excited and said, "What are we playing?" ”

Yan Qingge took out the handkerchief in his sleeve, stretched out a jade-white left palm, spread the handkerchief in the palm of his hand, shook it at Ling Xiao, and said, "Look, there's nothing on it." Then he blew on the handkerchief, closed his right hand upward, and when he let go again, there was a delicate golden bean inside.

Ling Xiao didn't expect her to play tricks, clapped her hands happily, picked up the golden beans and said, "Where did this golden bean come from?" ”

Yan Qingge will do this before he is reborn, in order to coax his son Zhu Ming. This trick is most effective for coaxing young children.

At this moment, the sound of bells and dings came from outside, and it was obvious that the ceremony had begun. Even if Ling Xiao wanted to slip over now, it would be too late. Fortunately, at this time, Ling Xiao's attention was all attracted by her trick of turning into a golden bean, and he was not interested in the apprenticeship ceremony at all.

After the bell, there is also a salute and music. The music was noisy for a while, and after a while, it paused and replaced it with an elegant sound of the qin.

The flower hall in the backyard and the place where the ceremony was held in front of it were just separated by a wall, and although the sound of the piano was not as clear as before, it was still audible.

Yan Qingge immediately heard that the sound of the piano was clearly "Guangling San". The person who plays the piano doesn't have to think about it, it is naturally his uncle Le Yi.

She pulled Ling Xiao, who was pestering herself to play tricks, and sat down, and sighed: "Listen, it's my uncle playing the piano." ”

In the flower hall, as soon as a few knowledgeable women heard the sound of the piano, they couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen to the music, their faces full of intoxication and excitement.

Ling Xiao blinked and his eyes widened: "It's very good, is it a new song made by your uncle?" I've never heard of it before. Your uncle is amazing. ”

"No, it's him who has newly obtained the score of "Guangling San", but my uncle did compose a few tunes by himself, if you have the opportunity, I will take you to listen to it."

Ling Xiao looked envious and said, "Your uncle is really amazing." I started learning the piano last year, and you started learning the piano too, right? My family piano is all iron strings, my mother told me to wear bamboo chips, I couldn't bear to wear it, and I split my middle fingernail once, which was really scary. ”

Yan Qingge nodded, there is a female gentleman in Yan's mansion all the year round, but unfortunately he is not enterprising, he has no knowledge, and he just has two hands over and over again. After she was reborn, she was impatient to learn the clichΓ©s she had known a long time ago, and only stayed in Qingxingyuan.

The two little girls immediately found the topic, talked about the piano, and made an appointment to hang out together when they were free.

Front, after Yan Xiuyu finished worshipping his teacher, when Le Yi was playing the piano on stage, he couldn't listen to it, and his little head shook left and right in the crowd to watch, only Yan Songnian was found, but Yan Qingge was not seen. After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him that Yan Qingge was a female dependent, and he must have been placed in the back yard.

He took advantage of the fact that everyone was staring at Master Le Yi, and trotted to the door of the backyard.

Princess Yan knew Yan Xiuyu's virtues, not only sent a maid to guard the door, but also called two generals to follow, for fear that he would be confused again today. As soon as the two generals saw Yan Xiuyu, they grabbed him by the collar and picked him up, and brought him to the side of Lord Yan who had been punched and kicked.

Lord Yan had been informed by Le Yi yesterday, and a song was played at the apprenticeship banquet today, and after hearing that song today, he was deeply shocked. This song is passionate and unyielding, with a spear killing and fighting spirit, full of ancient meaning, the more he listens, the more he suspects that it is the long-lost famous song "Guangling San". It's just that he has only seen this song in ancient books, and if it is really what he hears now, Lord Yan doubts that he will faint happily.

Yan Xiuyu muttered, shouting to see the eldest lady of the Yan family, Yan Wangye was disturbed by listening to the qin, and he was helpless against this younger brother, so he glanced at him: with a deep depression, he said: "Wait a while, before the banquet, your sister-in-law will go to the back and ask her to take you, not now." ”

With permission, Yan Xiu Yu'an gave birth, put his hand into his sleeve, touched the fine linen handkerchief hidden inside, and smiled on his face.

This handkerchief is a clean goose yellow bottom, locked with delicate thin edges, and a cute kitten is embroidered in one corner, fluttering butterflies, and even the fine fluff on the cat's body is embroidered with distinct roots, which looks lifelike.

The blood stains on this handkerchief yesterday have been personally washed by Yan Xiuyu behind his back, and he has been held in the quilt all night to warm up, just waiting to return it to Yan Qingge today - however, it would be better if he could ask for his own use.

In the backyard, the more Yan Qingge chatted with Ling Xiao, the more speculative he became, and Ling Xiao, who had underestimated Yan Qingge, found that he fell in love with this Yan family's daughter-in-law, and became closer and closer to her.

A mother-in-law who was waiting in the Yanwang Mansion walked in, looked around in the hall, and ran to Yan Qingge with broken steps and saluted: "This young lady is the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion, there is a maid in your mansion, who said that she gave you clothes." ”

It's really strange, how can I come to deliver clothes at this time! There are no serious masters left in the house, only three aunts are left, who sent them?

Yan Qingge called Ruyi, who was waiting behind her, and asked her to go out with this maid to get clothes.

After a while, Ruyi came over with a small package and said, "Miss, the clothes were sent by Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu." Said that when you ate porridge in the morning, you were sweating hot, and I was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to stick to my body, so I specially sent a thin kudzu replacement. After speaking, she looked at Ling Xiao, who was tired of Yan Qingge, and said, "Miss, let's borrow an empty room from the Yanwang Mansion for exchange." ”

Ling Xiao waved his hand: "Go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Entering the small room prepared by King Yan's mansion, Yan Qingge asked Ruyi to help him change his clothes, and asked, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

Ruyi's face turned pale, and said: "Miss, Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu called someone to report the news, saying that Aunt Hai was interrogating the maid at home, and a maid said that she heard the secret news in our house, and bit Miss to death, you gave it to someone privately, and gave a handkerchief to the little prince of Yanwang's mansion." Aunt Hai reported to Zhishu and Dali, asking them to find a way to get the handkerchief back from Yanwang's Mansion so that they could deal with Miss. ”
