Chapter Seventy-Eight: Xiao Yin
The water pavilion was as lively as the usual banquet, singing on the stage, and the girls were either watching the play, or from time to time looking at the sons of the various families opposite, and then whispering a few words of laughter with their companions, and the most talked about was Liu Yi.
Xiao Zhiqiu curiously glanced at Liu Yi who was sitting opposite, and happened to meet his gaze, his eyes were still so quiet as if they were a pool of deep water, and he couldn't even see a trace of emotion, it was really elusive, Xiao Zhiqiu thought to himself, and then bowed his head to him slightly.
There was still Song Kai sitting next to him, Song Kai was much more lively than Liu Yi, not only whispering and laughing with the prince of the family beside him, drinking a few glasses, but also hooking his lips and blooming his signature smile from time to time, I don't know what to say, but from their eyes from time to time to describe the side of the water pavilion, it should also be talking about which girl here makes them more favorite, I can't help but feel curious and interesting, isn't this Song Kai always respectful of women?
Thinking like this, he saw Ling Shu, who was wearing an azure brocade robe, passed through the children of various families, and casually came to Liu Yi's side and sat down, his expression was still full of loneliness, and he seemed to be more cold than before.
His appearance made all the girls in the audience a little surprised and whispered, which couldn't help but make Xiao Zhiqiu feel even more strange, how could Ling Shu's appearance make these girls from the family so excited?
Suddenly, the sound of an object falling to the ground sounded suddenly, and everyone inquired about it, but it was Tang Jinxi who somehow dropped the teacup to the ground.
For a while, the girls were silent, as if they remembered that Tang Jinxi was also in the banquet, and the girls had different expressions, and then the conversation became quieter, but they couldn't stop.
Xiao Zhiqiu listened attentively, but all of them were talking about the rumors that Tang Jinxi was circulating in Beijing, and she had heard some of these rumors, but she hadn't paid much attention to them before, but she never thought that the person Tang Jinxi liked would be Ling Shu.
No wonder she has a flute pinned to her body, Xiao Zhiqiu looked at Tang Jinxi, only to see this flamboyant girl, looking at Ling Shu on the other side with a stunned expression, and deaf to the surrounding discussions.
Ling Shu had a cold face, and there was even a gloom and disgust in his eyes, and he glanced at Tang Jinxi, who seemed to hold back his anger and picked up the wine glass and drank it.
Xiao Zhiqiu saw that Tang Jinxi's stubborn expression changed slightly when she saw this scene, her eyes flashed, and she actually withdrew her eyes, "Bring the wine." She said softly, completely devoid of the arrogance she had just hauled.
The atmosphere became lively and noisy again, although Xiao Zhiqiu was strange, he also retracted his expression, and talked slightly with Fan Caiqing about the words sung on the stage.
Fan Caiqing was obviously in a very good mood today, seeing Song Kai laughing with the children of the family opposite, she seemed to feel that she knew Song Kai a little more and was closer to her, so she became more and more happy.
Halfway through the table, the drama on the stage came to an end, and the ladies of the family on Yu's side discussed that they should invite these girls from the family to perform their talents, so as not to make the banquet too boring.
The people of the Song Kingdom are all inclined to elegance, so the lyrics and composers are very prosperous, and this is also to create some opportunities for these young people to learn more.
All the girls were a little happy and reserved, just as you pushed me to push and humbly let who go first, but I heard a long sound of the flute, it turned out that Tang Jinxi took off the flute on her body, and whined softly, her eyes looked at Ling Shu with complicated but infatuated eyes.
As her flute sounded, the gloom on Ling Shu's face was obviously more gloomy than just now, which couldn't help but make Xiao Zhiqiu a little surprised, she had only heard that Tang Jinxi would be furious when she disagreed at the banquet, and her reputation was not good, but she didn't know what was the relationship between Ling Shu and Tang Jinxi, so that Ling Shu actually hated Tang Jinxi, who was in love with him and had a valuable status.
It seemed that no one paid attention to what emotions Tang Jinxi's Xiao Yin carried, and almost all of them just looked back and forth between Ling Shu and Tang Jinxi, and then laughed softly from time to time.
At the end of the song, Ling Shu's expression had gradually returned to calm, but there was still an unapproachable chill in her eyes, but Tang Jinxi was much better, as if she had conveyed her thoughts and infatuation to Ling Shu through Xiao Yin, and the depression in her heart had also dispersed a lot, and even a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"The sound of the flute played by the county lord is so good, even I can't help but be moved by you when I hear it." Qi Jiyue is the host, and it is her responsibility to solve the siege for the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and her soft voice sounded, so that people couldn't help but calm down and listen to her.
When Tang Ziqian heard this, she still looked sad and carefree, as if she wanted to comfort Tang Jinxi, she joked and said: "The flute she blows, I think there is probably no woman in the whole capital who can compare, and Ling Gongzi is really like-minded, and she will definitely be able to move Ling Gongzi in the future." ”
Tang Jinxi listened, glanced at Ling Shu, only to see that the chill in Ling Shu's eyes seemed to be able to condense into frost, revealing a wry smile, she was about to borrow wine to kill her sorrows, but she heard a crisp rebuttal.
"That's a bad deal!" But it turned out to be Fan Caiqing, who spoke quickly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in puzzlement, Fan Caiqing was not panicked, but smiled at Tang Ziyuan's gaze: "Although the county lord's flute sound is played well, it is always too sad, which makes people feel sad to listen to it, and I can't bear to listen to it anymore, but I know that Cousin Qiu's Xiao Yin is also rare, I bet that Cousin Zhiqiu's Xiao Yin is not worse than the county lord's." ”
Fan Cai has no city government, and she doesn't know the entanglement between Tang Jinxi and Ling Shu, she is naïve and reckless, listening to Tang Jinxi's Xiaoyin and Tang Ziqi's words, she subconsciously wants to fight for Xiao Zhiqiu to be in the limelight, so that these girls in Beijing know that Xiao Zhiqiu is also very outstanding, and it is by no means as obscure as they thought.
Tang Ziqian was a little stunned, obviously she didn't expect someone to refute her words, and glanced at Xiao Zhiqiu Governor curiously.
Tang Jinxi's face turned cold in an instant, looking at Fan Caiqing's innocent appearance that didn't know the height of the sky, her eyes became cold, and she looked at Xiao Zhiqiu.
"You can also flute?" She asked.
Tang Ziqian and Qi Jiyue heard this question, and their hearts couldn't help but mention it for Xiao Zhiqiu.
Xiao Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, looking at the hostility that suddenly appeared in Tang Jinxi's eyes, was there anything wrong with her? But I still brought up the mental response.
"Briefly." Fan Caiqing's words have been exported, and Xiao Zhiqiu does not deny it.
As if she had heard some joke, Tang Jinxi grabbed the flute that was placed on the low couch, and without saying a word, she left her seat and walked in front of Xiao Zhiqiu.
"You play a song for me, I don't believe you can play better than me." She was confident and hostile in her eyes, no one knew how much effort she spent on the flute to practice, Tang Ziyuan's words were to make her happy, but she was also quite confident in her own Xiaoyin.
And this Xiao Zhiqiu, who has no better musician than her to teach, has been obscure, saying that she is better than herself, she will not believe it.
