Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bai Wei is humiliated

Zheng Xiao glanced at the tea handed to him, frowned boredly, then looked away, and lazily chatted with Fang Tingshen next to him......

The county lord's face changed suddenly, but whoever told her liked this man! The more she treats her like this, the more she can't let go! So she took a deep breath, took back the cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I respect the tea Zheng Sanye dare not accept, it seems that in the future, the county lord will enter the door, and he can only stretch out his hand after dinner, and the tea will come to open his mouth!" After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Xiao meaningfully.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, only Zheng Xiao did not move like a mountain, as if the county lord was saying this to others.

The county lord had just taken advantage of the verbal advantage, and now he was in a good mood, and ordered the tortoiseshell on the side: "Go, serve tea to your third master!" ”

When Liu Ruyi heard these words, she felt incredible, how could there be such a brazen/shameless person in the world, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zheng Xiao was abandoning her! As a woman, no matter how rare a man is, he shouldn't be so disrespectful and stalking! What's more, Brother Zheng has her Liu Ruyi in his heart......

Ye Peiru and Ye Baiwei followed closely behind Zheng Mingyi's sister and Dong Sisi, and sat down at the table not far from the pavilion, Zheng Mingshu glanced at his cousin, and then smiled and Dong Sisi: "The people sitting over there are all Julu Academy, and the high-level students of Mingyue Academy, my brother has more friends with them, and it will be beneficial in his career in the future!" ”

Dong Sisi nodded with a light smile, Ye Peiru was not to be outdone, and hurriedly picked up the conversation with a smile: "What Sister Mingshu said is extremely true, Brother Mingyi is a champion talent, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future!" ”

Zheng Mingshu glanced at Ye Peiru disdainfully, and didn't reply, but asked Ye Baiwei, who was sitting on the seat with a calm face: "It is reported that my sister not only plays the piano well, but also has a good literary talent, and today I finally have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes!" ”

Ye Baiwei didn't expect that Miss Zheng, who has always been known for her high talent, would take the initiative to praise herself, after a moment of stunned, she immediately adjusted her mood, and replied with good manners: "Miss Zheng praised, in this Jincheng, if you talk about talent, Zheng Gongzi is the first choice among men, and Miss Mingshu is none other than Miss Mingshu, I am embarrassed to mention my little insect carving skills." ”

Zheng Mingshu and Dong Sisi were both surprised, they couldn't imagine that this girl in the second room of Wutong Lane was so delicate and clear, and her words were not leaky.

Ye Peiru saw that the sister of the Zheng family was so snub about herself, but she was very enthusiastic about Ye Baiwei, and she was sick to death, but she couldn't blatantly find her cousin's stubble, so she had to pretend to be smiling, turned around and took Ye Baiwei's hand affectionately and said: "My cousin is also a favorite person, otherwise the eldest young master of the Qian family would not have been staring at her, for fear that she would grow wings and fly." While talking, he pinched Ye Baiwei's arm with his fingernails, and when he saw his cousin who was still smiling just now, his face changed in pain, and he didn't dare to withdraw his hand, so he suddenly felt relieved, and then covered his mouth and laughed.

Ye Baiwei's tears of pain were about to come out, and it looked even more pitiful, at this time, Zheng Mingyi happened to come back, smiling vigorously, and happened to hear his cousin ask Ye Baiwei: "Sister Ye, is she unwell, why is her face pale?" ”

So Zheng Mingyi Ye looked at Ye Baiwei, only to see the girl in the aqua blue gauze skirt shook her head gently, pulled out a smile and said, "Thank you sister for your concern, I don't have any discomfort, just a little nervous?" ”

Ye Peiru saw that the Zheng family brothers and sisters had spent all their thoughts on Ye Baiwei, and the acid bubbles were bubbling up, and asked Ye Baiwei with a worried face: "Is my sister okay?" You are already weak, you should pay more attention, at home is also a medicine jar, maybe there are too many people here, boring! If my sister goes out for a walk and blows the wind and breathes, maybe it will be better! ”

A few people present also felt that it made sense, and Ye Baiwei's arm was really painful, so she smiled and saluted a few people, and let the maid walk out with her arms.

At this time, Ye Chanyi was holding a large handful of camellias, ready to sell them at the door of the teahouse, but she happened to bump into Ye Baiwei who was covering her arms and her eyes were red, she was very surprised, in front of everyone's eyes, could Ye Peiru still dare to bully people?

Ye Chanyi hurriedly put the flowers in the grass on the side, pulled Ye Baiwei to the corner of the wall and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you, you look devastated?" ”

The grievances that Ye Baiwei had been holding back in her heart, when she was asked like this, it was like a flood that burst the embankment, pouring out, and big tears rolled down from her eyes.

The little maid beside her saw that the master was sad and speechless, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell what had just happened, Ye Chanyi pulled up Ye Baiwei's sleeves, and saw a few bruised and purple nail marks on her white and flawless arms, which looked shocking!

Ye Chanyi never expected that Ye Peiru would dare to treat her cousin like this, even if the second room is a concubine and attached to the third room, but the second room is not idle and does not do things, and it is also running around inside and out?

"She's so deceitful, has she been like this before? Why didn't you tell the second uncle and aunt? Can you also tell her parents to go? Ye Chanyi asked angrily.

"The eldest lady bullied our girl as long as it didn't go her way, and she deliberately broke my girl's guqin last time! After the third wife knew, she only said that it was just a game between sisters, and she also sent someone to send a brand-new piano over with great fanfare. How can you play such a piano? The more the little girl talked, the more angry she became, and she talked about the last time she repaired the piano, met Sister Ye Peiru, and was smashed again......

Ye Chanyi also knows a little about the structure of the guqin, just mentioned "Dragon Pond" and "Feng Marsh", in fact, there are two large and small sound grooves at the bottom of the piano, the larger one in the middle is called "Dragon Pond", and the smaller one in the tail is called "Feng Swamp". This is called going up the mountain and going down, and there are dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing all the things in heaven and earth.

There is a strip of hardwood on the forehead side of the mountain, which is called "Chenglu". There are seven "string eyes" on it, which are used to tie the strings. There are seven "pianos" for tuning. At the side end of the headstock, there are "phoenix eyes" and "guards".

From the waist down, it is called the "tail". The tail is inlaid with a shallow grooved hardwood "gum" to set the strings. The trim on both sides of the gum is called the "crown horn", also known as the "scorched tail".

The seven strings start from the exposed part, pass through the mountain and the dragon's gum, and turn to a pair of "goose feet" at the bottom of the piano, symbolizing the seven stars. The speaker of the guqin is not made of sticky boards like zhengs and other musical instruments, but is hollowed out of a whole piece of wood. Its speaker wall is thicker and relatively rough, so its sound has a unique charm and a sense of historical vicissitudes.
