Chapter 33: The Chess Test
The long wind has passed, and the purple shirt is picturesque.
The delicate girl kneels behind the piano table, her slender fingers pressing the strings. The piano is engraved with a phoenix sycamore, lining the girl's five fingers smooth and slender. The soft skirt was put behind her, the ribbon hanging on her arm and the ribbon behind her hair were blown up by the wind, and the girl raised her head quietly, her dark eyes were clean and pure, like a landscape painting.
She looked at everyone quietly, with a gentle smile on her lips: "It's ugly." ”
After a while, there was a cheer from the crowd, and the rest of the people applauded. The eager and admiring eyes fell behind Gu Mingxiu, but Dong Zhiyue on the other side was unattended.
The fifth prince had always been silent, but at this moment he put down the teacup and muttered: "Where is the ugliness....such piano skills, such appearance..."
The eyes of the six princes drifted over Gu Mingxiu, and the folding fan was staggered to hide the smile on his lips, which was somewhat meaningful.
The red sleeves in charge said with a smile: "What is the result of this piano fight, I think you should have a decision in your hearts." ”
Almost threw the piano on the piano platform, Dong Zhiyue secretly gritted her teeth and sneered: "It's because my skills are not as good as others, Miss Gu Si, thank you for your advice." ”
Not to mention that her skills were completely lost to Gu Mingxiu, that is, she didn't finish a single song, where can she compare.
With a faint smile, Gu Mingxiu's eyes glimpsed that King Xiao was still leaning in front of the window, and he groaned a little and smiled lightly: "Thank you King Xiao." ”
"Fourth Miss is polite." King Xiao looked at her with interest, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed with a bit of strange light, "This song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world." The fourth lady's piano skills are so wonderful, when it should be matched with a good piano, this piano is called Phoenix Wutong, and it will be given to the fourth lady today. ”
He said it frankly, the wind was light, and there was an uproar in the crowd.
The phoenix sycamore is a well-known guqin, and now it should be regarded as a treasure in the deep palace by the neighboring country Daanguo. Gu Mingxiu's fingertips gently brushed the strings and carefully looked at the phoenix sycamore on the piano.
The sycamore is a good material in the tree, and it has to be the body of the piano. The strings should be silk in the snow, flexible and translucent. The upper segment is too tough, and the elastic is stiff; The lower section is too soft, the play is soft, and the middle section is the most beneficial, and it is best to use it with a sycamore wooden piano. The phoenix on the piano is full of charm, spreading its wings and wanting to fall on the sycamore, lifelike.
"Famous piano with beauty." King Xiao opened his mouth casually, with a little smile at the end of his eyes, "The things that this king sent out have never been taken back." ”
“... Thank you, King Xiao. Seeing this, Gu Mingxiu didn't say much, and thanked him and asked people to put down the curtain and put the piano away.
Dong Zhiyue lost the piano and lost people, smashed the piano to the ground as soon as she blocked the curtain, and smashed a few cups in a row, so frightened that Gu Xiaodie didn't dare to speak. Gu Changge almost pinched his nails into his palms, the jealousy in his eyes was difficult to eliminate, and he almost wanted to tear the layer of skin on Gu Ming's embroidered surface at this moment.
What kind of ecstasy did you get, so that King Xiao gave her a famous piano?!
Even Dong Zhiyue fell behind in the douqin, first with Gu Mingxiu's pearl and jade in front, no one was willing to step forward to play the piano, and he dimmed himself in vain. The test of the piano is considered to be the end of the competition because no one has competed, and this leader naturally falls on Gu Mingxiu.
"As soon as you play the piano, Dong Zhiyue's piano will be messed up." Shen Qingqing looked at her with a smile and shook her head regretfully, "It turns out that you can play the piano like this, I knew that it would be different from you, so I should let you play the piano for me." ”
Her eyes fell on the piano that Mu Lan was holding, and there was a little smile in her tone: "I'm afraid that Dong Zhiyue is going to be angry with you, rob her of her name, and ask King Xiao to give you the piano." Xiao Xiu'er, do you recognize King Xiao? She said, "King Xiao is the most unkind, he has never seen a woman he helps, and no one has any other eyes on him." ”
Shen Qingqing seemed to be talking to herself, but Gu Mingxiu froze slightly.
Little embroidery?
There was a vague figure in my mind, and I couldn't see my face, and I called her like that, with deep helplessness.
Gu Mingxiu frowned.
"Girl, Miss Ning has arrived." There was a gentle knock on the door, and Shen Qingqing's maid entered with a quiet girl.
Seeing the girl, Shen Qingqing smiled. She beckoned people to come over and sit down, and introduced the two of them with a smile: "This is the young lady of the Ning family, Ning Fei, who is very good with me." After the girl sat down, she smiled again and said, "This is the fourth young lady of the Gu Mansion, I mentioned to you before, if you come earlier, I'm afraid you will be able to hear the sounds of heaven." ”
Ning Fei's dress is not very exquisite, and it is not ordinary. Her facial features are delicate, and she has a very clean and comfortable feeling when she smiles, which makes people very unrepulsive.
Hearing this, Ning Fei smiled and shook his head: "You played the piano well." I went downstairs, and listening to the song was very moving, and I unconsciously stood there and listened a little stupid. She looked at Gu Mingxiu with a smile and said softly, "I am Ning Fei of the Ning family, I am the daughter of a businessman, and the fourth lady should have never seen me." ”
Gu Mingxiu nodded lightly: "I haven't played for a long time, and I'm a little rusty." ”
"Okay, I listened to the conversation between the two of you, why do you feel so polite?" Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows, glanced at the two of them with disgust, and turned her head to look downstairs, "In front of me, it's mostly boring." ”
The chess level is to allow people to go up and set up a chess game, and then wait for others to solve it. The first few games were easily relieved, and in the last game, many people were defeated, and no one solved that game at the moment.
Shen Qingqing looked at it and frowned: "Such a simple chess game, but no one can solve it?" ”
Ning Fei glanced at it and said with a smile: "That's the chess game you put out," she deliberately glanced at Gu Mingxiu, and smiled slightly, "Only you can have such a tricky chess game." ”
"If you see this guy playing chess, you can understand what it means to be tricky." Shen Qingqing spread her hands, "Xiao Xiu'er, do you have a bottom?" I think this chess game should be difficult for you. ”
Without waiting for Gu Mingxiu to answer, a regretful sigh sounded downstairs: "I can't solve this chess game," Miss Biyi stood in front of the last chess game, raised her hand and put the chess pieces in her hand back into the chess game, "Now that many people have abandoned this game, I am a little curious." ”
Gu Mingxiu sighed, instructed Mo Zhu to bring the cloak, and said lightly, "Coming at me." ”
I don't know why I looked at her posture of putting on a cloak and going down, the two of them glanced at each other, and then heard the young lady downstairs say again: "This game should be set up by Miss Shen, so I won't ask Miss Shen to answer." I heard that the fourth lady of the Gu family is even better at chess than Miss Shen, so I want to ask Miss Gu to come down and teach a lesson and solve this chess game. ”
Gu Mingxiu had already gone out at this moment, Shen Qingqing suddenly said with a smile: "That young lady knows Gu Changge, but she follows Dong Zhiyue all the time, I'm afraid that there will be some moth to embarrass Xiao Xiu'er." She smiled very cutely, as if she was sympathizing with that group of people, "It's a pity, Xiao Xiu'er's chess skills are better than mine." ”
"I just don't know if Miss Gu Si is willing." The young lady deliberately focused her eyes on the Tianzi room, but when she saw that the curtain didn't move, her tone couldn't help but be a little more contemptuous, "Could it be that the fourth lady is unwilling?" ”
Gu Mingxiu appeared on the corridor with a cloak, and walked downstairs to the ring slowly. Staying in front of the young lady, her gaze swept lightly over the chess game below, and smiled slightly: "It's just a chess game, what's not to want." She picked up the chess piece and paused again, "It's just that Miss Shen said it herself, you can't trust her, and now I have solved this chess game in front of you..."
Gu Mingxiu's lips pursed a touch of coolness: "But I don't know if you want to say it again, this is the solution that Miss Shen taught me." ”
She said carelessly, but the young lady froze in place. was disrupted by the plan, the young lady panicked, and said: "So many people have seen it, you are good friends with Miss Shen, who knows if she taught you." ”
"You're right." Gu Mingxiu nodded, put the chess pieces back on the chessboard, and said lightly, "That's it, if you want to, you can put it on the table, and I will solve it all." She raised her face and said with a smile, "You will never teach me the solution to the chess game you set up yourself, right?" ”
Gu Mingxiu was a little furious when she saw it, and the young lady nodded: "This is what you said!" If someone wants to, they can come and put on a game. With that, she first stepped aside and brushed the original game and began to play chess.
After a while, many people came to the stage, and they all put on a new chess game. Shen Qingqing looked very interesting, but she taught Ning Fei and asked her to step down and put on a game for Gu Ming to embroider. Ning Fei couldn't cry or laugh, but he went downstairs obediently, and showed a helpless expression with Gu Mingxiu.
It's not just the young lady's side, but even the sons of the family who are watching the excitement here are interested in putting on a game.
"Isn't this bullying other people's little girls?" The young master of the official family in the building was a little dissatisfied, and he looked a little indignant.
Gu Mingxiu put on a cloak and stood quietly aside, blinking at them playing chess, without saying a word. She looked peaceful, but she couldn't see a trace of grievance or sadness.
On the contrary, it made those young masters of the official family praise again.
When the new chess game is set up, only Gu Mingxiu's master and servant and the young lady and the red sleeves in charge will be left on the stage.
"Miss Gu, please."
The dark eyes casually glanced at the chess game on the table, and Gu Mingxiu almost wanted to laugh in his heart. Gu Changge came prepared, but she didn't know that she really didn't take it seriously, she wanted her to be ruined, Gu Mingxiu wanted to borrow her hand to make herself stand above everyone.
She calmly walked up and stepped forward to solve the chess.
Gu Mingxiu didn't stop, and didn't seem to even think. She solves chess very quickly, and when she walks in front of the chess game, she picks up the chess pieces and moves on to the next one, without even hesitating. Every time she solves a game, someone looks ugly.
With a cup of tea, Gu Mingxiu has solved the last game. Shen Qingqing's chess game failed to stump Gu Mingxiu, but in this last game, she paused slightly.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
