As soon as Xie Changge took Cai Yin to the front of the flower hall, he heard laughter inside, and he didn't know how many voices came out. The eldest aunt Wang was guarding the door and saw Xie Changge coming over and immediately saluted, and said, "The ladies and ladies of the clan relatives and the old man's colleagues have come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, the eldest lady should go in quickly." ”

There are eight black lacquered square tables in the flower hall, and the white porcelain fruit plate on the table is filled with fruits, snacks and other things, Li Shi wears a red gold tuan gown with a collar of auspicious patterns for longevity, and is sitting on the right seat with a smile, and many women wearing brocade clothes next to her sit around her with a smile, during which the maids wearing silver and red jackets, blue satin vests, and white silk fine-folded skirts shuttle non-stop, busy serving snacks or renewing tea, a lively atmosphere.

Seeing someone come in, the room suddenly fell silent, everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Nuan, she smiled slightly, and stepped forward to salute the Li family generously: "Grandmother, Changge wishes you a long life and good health, and all the best!" ”

Ge'er, come and meet your aunts and aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters. Li smiled and beckoned to her.

Everyone looked at Xie Changge's eyes and was very surprised, this granddaughter of the old lady of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Xie Cheng was really as beautiful as a fairy.

She was wearing a light red flowing color dark flower cloud long dress, a jasper Qibao exquisite hairpin on her head, emerald green drop earrings, a combination of spring harmony, and an indescribable luxury, a delicate and white face like porcelain, a pointed chin, big apricot eyes, and curved eyebrows...... Hearing Li's greeting, she smiled without showing her teeth, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, Yingying saluted everyone, her sleeves were a little tricky, reflecting the snow-white delicate and crystal clear skin, and the festive but restrained dress complemented each other and added to the beauty and arrogance. Everyone secretly said in their hearts that this eldest lady resembles the deceased Hou Mansion's concubine Jiang Yanwan, she is a natural beauty embryo, and with such a demeanor and bearing, as if she is a different person, she doesn't know how beautiful she is to be after the ceremony, and she can't help but shout that she is gone.

Li smiled and took Xie Changge's hand, introduced her to the ladies present, and continued: "It's not that I'm boasting, my granddaughter is really kind-hearted, considerate and gentle, but she doesn't like to walk around in front of people, and she is too showy." ”

The wife of Liu Ziang, the secretary of the ministry, Kang, is a beautiful woman in her thirties, she wears a colorful carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, and her temperament is very elegant, and she said with a smile: "The eldest lady was born like this, and I don't know how to move in a few years, I'm afraid that the old lady can't hide it if you want to!" ”

Xie Changge lowered his head with a smile, and Li patted her hand affectionately: "This kid is shy." Everyone laughed when they heard this, except for the wife of the Ministry of Shangshu Kang, the wife of the Ministry of Officials Yu, and the wife of the Ministry of Langzhong, most of them were the same clan of the Xie family, and they were also familiar with each other, and the atmosphere was warm for a while. At this time, Mama Liu came over to report and said, "Old lady. The second lady is here. I saw Xie Yun walking in with a smile. Saluting to the crowd, she wore a long jacket with a collar of golden floral brocade. Sleeve. Caged a squirrel fur, with a moon-white threaded skirt exposed underneath. There is a golden glone on his chest. The dazzling red gold lock, with a pair of Seven Treasures Jian golden hairpins on the head, is also gorgeous.

Li nodded slightly and said, "It's good to come, you can sit down." The attitude was not at all like the enthusiasm for Xie Changge, and all the ladies and ladies looked at it in their eyes and secretly speculated about the reason.

At this moment, Mama Liu walked in with a happy face and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Luo is here in person!" The eldest lady and the second lady of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion also came. "Zhenguohou? Xie Yun heard that the people from the Zhenguo Houfu were coming, so he straightened his clothes a little and smoothed out his hanging hair. The eldest grandson of Zhenguo Hou's family, Jiang Yuanzhu's cousin Jiang Yuanzhen is two years older than her, in the mood for love, Yushu is in the wind, famous in the circle of nobles in the capital, and is the dream lover of many school-age girls, including Xie Yun.

"Grandmother is good." As soon as the old lady entered the door, Xie Yun first offered her courtesy and stepped forward to salute without waiting for the old lady to speak. Even the Qin clan couldn't stand it.

"Yun'er!" The Qin clan made a look, and Xie Lan realized that he was rude and hurriedly retreated into the crowd.

"It's a shame to bother Mrs. Luo to run away, please take a seat quickly." Xie Yun's performance of hating marrying a village girl attracted everyone's attention, and the old lady hurriedly got up to greet Mrs. Luo, although she didn't like this second granddaughter, but after all, it was the Xie family who looked at this uncompetitive Xie Yun and still helped her out.

"Eh, where are you, eating the birthday banquet of the old birthday star is a blessing in itself, do you say?" Mrs. Luo turned around and asked the two daughters-in-law who were traveling with her, and the eldest lady and the second wife hurriedly agreed.

Mrs. Luo sat down and saw at a glance her granddaughter Xie Changge, who was in the crowd and looking at her silently crying.

"Come, Changge, come to my grandmother, and let my grandmother take a good look. Do you remember your grandmother, Mrs. Luo, who beckoned to Changge and asked her gently. Xie Changge looked at his grandmother and cousin who loved his aunts and uncles, not only shed tears, but after his mother died in his previous life, he was sent to his father and Qin family to Zhuangzi in the countryside, and his grandfather sent someone to pick her up to take her to Zhenguo Houfu, but his father refused them with lies, saying that Xie Changge himself proposed to go to Zhuangzi to keep filial piety for his mother for eight years. In the end, he was killed by Tuoba Hui, and since God reborn me until I was eleven years old, I had to protect all my relatives from the same fate as in my previous life.

Xie Changge said coquettishly: "Does grandmother still love Ge'er?" Ge'er has been thinking about her grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt and cousin in Zhuangzi all these years.

Kitsune! Village girl! Just because you want to steal the limelight from me?

"Rubbing", Xie Yun followed Xie Changge closely and rushed out of the crowd.

"Grandmother, you are really eccentric, you only love your sister." Xie Yun said coquettishly, her delicate and lovely appearance made people feel pity.

"You girl, the VIP clan is here, talking to your grandmother like this?" Mrs. Xie pretended to be angry, but in fact she was spoiled. "Old lady, you are smiling, this is my second girl, Xie Yun."

Seeing that Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo introduced her, Xie Yun hurriedly saluted. In a hurry, she forgot to be steady and reserved, her movements were frivolous, and she was like a pug, Mrs. Luo looked at her and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, Xie Changge hurriedly "helped" Xie Yun and said: "Grandmother, don't laugh, my sister is still young, so she will inevitably be a little frizzy." ”

"Xie Changge, who do you say is frizzy?" Xie Yun saw that Mrs. Luo didn't like her, and she was already depressed in her heart, completely forgetting what the occasion was, and opened her mouth to retort.

"Presumptuous! The name of the eldest sister is also what you can call! "Grandmother, I ......" Xie Yun was speechless for a while, bowed his head and stood in place embarrassed, Xie Changge saw this, and hurriedly saluted: "Grandmother, grandmother, don't laugh, I have a close relationship with Yun'er, Yun'er will call me like this, and I hope that the second elder and the relatives and friends present will not blame her."

Xie Changge, who used you to come out and pretend to be a good person! A room full of relatives and friends, all cast approving glances at Xie Changge, at this time Xie Yun was like a clown who set off Xie Changge's knowledgeable and dignified image, she could even hear someone whispering that the second miss of the Xie family was a reckless and ignorant girl.

Joke, Xie Changge, you should never think that the limelight will overpower me!

Xie Yun stabilized his mind, slowly saluted, and said: "Grandmother Yun'er knows that she is wrong, Yun'er thinks, there are still one or two hours before the birthday banquet starts, it is better for Yun'er to sing a tune to cheer up the distinguished guests and the two old ladies present." ”

"Okay, okay, my Yun'er has a heart." Old Lady Xie nodded and motioned for Xie Yun to go down and prepare.

"Grandmother, Yun'er has always admired her sister for playing the piano well, please allow your sister to accompany Yun'er." Xie Yun said, not forgetting to cast a sincere admiration at Xie Changge.

"Okay, you sisters go to prepare together, so that everyone present can see how our daughter's family of Xie Mansion is doing." Mrs. Xie said.

Changge saluted his relatives and friends in the living room, walked behind Xie Yun, and walked into the inner hall. As soon as he entered the inner hall, Xie Yun put away his usual well-behaved appearance, gritted his teeth and said to Changge: "Xie Changge, don't think that you can win me with a foxy appearance, there is only one concubine in Xie Mansion, and that is me!" ”

"Second sister, next time you have a guest, remember to walk behind your sister, don't let people see the joke." Xie Changge reminded with a light smile that on the way to the inner room from the living room just now, Xie Yun was rude in front of everyone again.

Xie Yun was reminded by Changge, thinking of his rude just now, he couldn't help but be blunt, it's bad, it's bad, who will dare to marry her in the future.

"Eldest sister, wait a minute, I'm going to sing "Martyr's Jiao" to my grandmother, and you will accompany me." Xie Yun threw down a sentence and went to change his clothes.

"Miss, I heard that the second lady has been learning to sing for the old lady's birthday for several months, and then I told you to play the piano accompaniment, what can you do, why did the old lady ask you if you could play, and agreed." Xie Changge didn't say anything yet, and the little maids around him were about to cry.

"Zein, be quiet." Xie Changge was not in a hurry or impatient, and took the maidservant to the musical instrument workshop to choose a piano to take advantage of.

"Xie Changge, where have you been?" Changge took the maidservant, and the maidservant carried the piano, and was walking towards the meeting room, when a rude roar was heard in the distance.

"Second sister, I went to find a piano to accompany you." Xie Changge spoke softly, which was in stark contrast to Xie Yun's vulgarity.

"Xie Changge, what kind of lady are you pretending, the whole world knows that you are a village girl who grew up in the countryside! Don't pretend, I'm disgusting to watch. Compared with Xie Changge, Xie Yun was even more uneasy.

Changge ignored her hysterical yelling and continued to walk towards the parlor with the maidservant.

"Xie Changge, the piano you chose by a village girl can't be on the table, put down that ugly piano, use mine." I saw that Xie Yun was also followed by a servant girl, holding a piano in her hand, the piano was a good piano, but a few colorful ribbons were tied, and the simple beauty was completely destroyed.

In the end, who is the village girl's aesthetics, it's clear at a glance. Xie Changge also knows how to be flexible, she has been arranged enough in the previous life, does she still have to listen to others in this life?

"Second sister, my piano doesn't have as much as yours on the table, but I'm used to it." Xie Changge raised her hand, meaning to ask her maidservants not to put down the piano in her hand, she still spoke softly, but her tone was very firm. glanced sideways at Xie Yun, but there was only one thought in her heart, Xie Yun's things, she didn't want to touch them.

Receiving the message from Xie Changge's eyes, she couldn't help but stop, and in a blink of an eye, she saw the servant girl cowering behind her, and her arrogant and domineering temper was even more uncontrollable.

"Did you see that just now? She actually glared at me? Xie Yun tore the maid's clothes without scruples, so frightened that the maid quickly knelt down.

"Second Miss, this... The slave is clumsy, no... Too... See..."The servant girl knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, with sincere fear, for fear that if she said the wrong word, this little life would be gone.

"I ask you, yes?" Xie Yun rolled her eyes, she was the only one who dared to look at no one, and now this shameless fox was actually going to climb on her head to make trouble.

"Second Miss, you are the most favored up and down in this house, this eldest lady is a country girl, how dare she give you a look and call you out." Another clever maid hurriedly broke the siege, this body is in the house, she can't help herself, she only has this one friend, don't help her. "Second Miss ...... to dissipate her anger"

"Humph! Hurry up. Xie Yun strode towards the living room, casually pinching these maids to get angry, naturally feeling a little more comfortable, and thinking that he would be able to make Xie Changge ugly later, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Xie Changge, this good show has always been on stage, you can watch it later.

In order to shine on the old lady's birthday, Xie Yun has been practicing hard every day for the past few months, she heard the master say that practicing vocalization is a foundation, and how to master the breath is also a trick, which needs to be explored slowly.

At the same time, she also paid special attention to protecting her throat, and even the spicy foods such as dogwood, mustard, and ginger that she would eat on weekdays, she also gave them up.

She also heard the maid say, this learning the piano, the most emphasis is hard work and diligence, only through long-term practice, can we reach the point where practice makes perfect, so a village woman like Xie Changge doesn't even have a good piano, how can she be brilliant, Xie Yunzi doesn't believe it.

"The jade is thin and fragrant, the sandalwood is deep and the snow is deep, and this year I hate to explore the plum and it is late..."Xie Yunqing sang a curling voice, and his voice was like a butterfly following the fragrance of flowers, hurriedly flying to the ears of the guests present.

But Xie Changge's piano sound is even worse, she just sits there quietly, the green silk like a waterfall is only gently held by a delicate hairpin, her ten fingers are exposed, as slender as bamboo shoots, even if she ignores her unique light spirit, the sound of the piano pouring down like transparent moonlight is also like a mandarin duck crying phoenix, which has long been compared to Xie Yun's yellow warbler out of the valley.

"Sitting on the guest, the wine is full, the singing is the same, the water is broken..."Xie Yun's singing voice seems to have become more delicate and nuanced because of the blessing of Xie Changge's piano sound.

Seeing that Xie Changge was so blue-hearted, the sound of the piano made Kunshan jade shatter, and Xianglan wept, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, not bad." ”

"......" Xie Yun never thought that Xie Changge's piano skills would be so good. The Qin clan on the side had long been unable to bear it, and his mouth was crooked.

In her previous life, Xie Changge knew that Tuoba Hui loved the qin, so she searched everywhere for good pianos to please him, and she was lonely, so naturally she just accompanied the guqin and buried those faint pains into the strings.

"Difficult branches can be inserted, and they must be cut frequently, don't wait straight, the west building has a few sound pipes."

It was Xie Yun's words as the leading, but then it was wrapped by Xie Changge's piano sound, which added a little more charm and affection to the whole performance, and it was like drinking refreshing tea, savoring it, and it was unforgettable for a long time.
