Chapter 18: The Sword of the Piano

The weather was nice on this day, with clear skies. The weather in October has entered the end of autumn, although the sun is shining, but it is also a little cool.

Most of the flowers in the back garden are gone, and even the September chrysanthemum is showing its defeat. The trees were bare, but the ground was covered with a layer of fallen leaves, as if a yellow carpet had been laid.

Although this scene looks a little cold and depressed, it also has a special taste.

It's rare for the family to be here today, and Ye Chuqing came up with the idea that it was a family dinner. Because for half a month, Ye Chuqing had to study homework every day, and rarely had time to relax. Xu thought about it and readily agreed.

So Xu and Ye Chuxia cooked the dishes themselves, and Ye Chuqing commanded the people to set up tables and chairs in the back garden.

After finishing the arrangement, Ye Chuqing ran to Ye Qingyun and pulled his sleeves and dangled coquettishly: "Daddy, do you think I arranged it well?" ”

Ye Qingyun looked at the tables and chairs placed in the garden, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, good, Qing'er is really capable!" ”

Ye Chuqing hugged Ye Qingyun's arm and smiled sweetly: "Dad, this is not my credit, but everyone's credit." So, I thought, let's have a dinner with our family today, why don't we also make the people in the house lively? ”

Ye Qingyun looked at her with some puzzlement: "Qing'er means ......"

"Oops, Daddy!" Ye Chuqing called out squeamishly, holding Ye Qingyun's arm and shaking: "The people up and down the house, although they are all subordinates, but everyone is dedicated to their duties and works hard every day, instead of having dinner with our family today, it is better to let the people in the house put a few tables to make everyone happy!" Everyone is in a good mood, and they will be more excited to do things in the future! ”

Ye Qingyun frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules!" Which house has a dinner party for people? ”

Ye Chuqing didn't follow, holding Ye Qingyun's arm and shaking it constantly, and rubbing his head around: "Dad, you just agree!" I've boasted to them that I'm going to let them all get together! If you don't agree, what dignity will I have in front of them in the future? And what majesty? Don't you laugh at me? Daddy, daddy, can you bear to let your daughter not be able to raise her head in front of your subordinates in the future? He covered his face and whimpered.

I have to say that Ye Chuqing's coquettish kung fu is still very useful. No, when Ye Qingyun saw her like this, he suddenly had no choice, so he had to hug her and hurriedly agree: "Okay, you can do whatever you want." ”

Ye Chuqing asked in a sullen voice: "Really?" ”

Ye Qingyun hurriedly said: "Really, really, Daddy promised you!" Do whatever you say! ”

Ye Chuqing put down her hands with a "brush", raised her little face and said with a smile: "Thank you, Daddy!" With that, he immediately ran away.

Ye Qingyun was stunned, then shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "This kid! ”

Ye Chuqing ran to the chief steward and began to instruct: "Uncle De, you can arrange it again, put a few more tables a little farther away from us, and let the kitchen prepare more food." Today makes everyone in the house happy and happy. It's not that she doesn't want to sit with the people, she just wants to be as lively as possible. But no one else can do it! Their sense of hierarchy is very strong, and they can't stand sitting with their subordinates.

The chief steward of the house was a middle-aged man over forty years old, named Zhang De. He is also an old man who has followed Ye Qingyun for nearly thirty years, and he treats Ye Chuqing like his own child. At this time, listening to Ye Chuqing's instructions, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, girl, wait a minute, the old slave will arrange it." In addition, the old slave thanked the girl for her grace on behalf of everyone. ”

Ye Chuqing hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, Uncle De doesn't have to be polite." ”

Uncle De's work efficiency is very high, but after more than an hour, three tables were set up at the entrance of the garden, and all kinds of dishes of chicken, duck and fish were placed in succession, and the garden was filled with fragrance for a while.

Ye Chuqing and the others have been having a banquet for an hour, and they have all eaten at this time. Regarding the dinner for the next people, Ye Qingyun told her as soon as Xu came back. Ye Chuqing added oil and vinegar to say how hard people work, how to fulfill their duties, and give proper respect. Xu didn't bother much when he heard this, and let Ye Chuqing toss it.

At this time, the family was drinking tea and talking, and Uncle De came over and said, "Master, madam, the banquet has been set up at the gate of the garden, please give instructions from the old lady." ”

Ye Qingyun glanced at Ye Chuqing, and Ye Chuqing hurriedly ordered: "Uncle De, call everyone in the mansion together." But I'll have to leave two janitors, huh...... Draw a few people and let them take turns guarding and taking turns eating. ”

Uncle De replied with a smile: "The old slave knows! Then he went down and made arrangements.

After a while, two rows of people stood neatly at the entrance of the garden. Ye Chuqing asked her parents, brothers and sisters to go over together.

After the people saluted, Ye Qingyun spoke first: "You are all from my Ye Mansion, whether it is an old man for many years or someone who has only recently entered the mansion, you are all a part of our mansion. On weekdays, everyone is conscientious and loyal, and we all see it. Today is the grace that the second girl asks for you, so that everyone will be lively and happy. It should also be a celebration for the second girl's freedom. ”

Everyone was beaming with joy and saluted, "Thank you, girl!" Thank you, masters! ”

Ye Chuqing waved his hand and smiled: "You're welcome, everyone, you're welcome!" Open to eat and drink! ”

Ye Qingyun suddenly said: "But there is one point, you are not allowed to drink!" ”

Ye Chuqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qingyun, and then ran to Ye Chuyang's side with a smile: "Brother, give them some of your fruit wine!" That thing can't get drunk again! ”

Ye Chuyang was helpless and a little reluctant: "Girl, I got it for you!" ”

Ye Chuqing said impatiently: "Oh, you just take it out!" I can't drink much by myself, so it's a big deal if you can get me more in the future! ”

Ye Chuyang looked at Ye Qingyun and saw that Ye Qingyun nodded lightly, so he smiled and patted Ye Chuqing's head: "You!" Then he took someone to fetch the wine.

Ye Qingyun, Xu's, Ye Chuxia, Ye Chuyang, and Ye Chuqing's family continued to sit in their previous positions, talking and drinking tea.

After a while, Ye Chuxia proposed: "It's not interesting to just sit and drink tea like this, why don't I go and get the piano to cheer everyone up." ”

Ye Chuqing immediately clapped her hands and shouted, "Okay, sister, go quickly!" ”

After a while, Ye Chuxia took a twenty-one-string mahogany zither. The big girl next to Ye Chuxia, Xuewen, set up the tables and chairs, and placed the guzheng. Ye Chuxia Yingying stepped forward and sat down, slowly raised her hands, and gently covered the strings.

pointed out that the strings moved, and the pleasant sound of the piano poured out from under Ye Chuxia's agile fingers.

Ye Chuyang smiled and praised: "Good! Then he walked to the clearing, drew the long sword he held in his hand at some point, and danced to the sound of the harp.

The sound of the piano is pleasant, and the sword flowers are flying.

Ye Chuxia's piano skills are outstanding, every note, every key, is so different. Her fingers are nimble and her movements are elegant, and the sound of the piano flowing from her fingers is unusually beautiful, as if she has drawn a majestic picture of mountains and rivers for the audience. Let the listener feel as if he is in the majestic mountains and rivers, and as if he is in the raging river.

Ye Chuyang and Ye Chuxia's piano sound and sword dancing are even more breathtaking. Ye Chuyang is vigorous and chic, the long sword in his hand is flying flexibly, and his whole person seems to be integrated into the picture of mountains and rivers outlined by the sound of the qin. The long sword in his hand was like a life, and sword flowers danced in his hand, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and rivers.

The sister and brother cooperate seamlessly, as if they are two painters, one sketches the mountains and rivers, and the other fills in the flowers, birds, insects and fish. Their cooperation brings the whole painting to life.

Ye Chuqing listened quietly and watched, slowly as if she had entered the artistic conception they had created, which made her unstoppable and emotional. At this time, she remembered a song she had heard, and sang it out loud: "Listening to the sound of the piano, I can't forget what I should forget, Hongchen trapped me young." Forgive me for the arrogance I have hidden in my heart, and go to battle to face the heavens and the earth. Life is also dashing, the soul is haunted by dreams like a flame burning, and the dust of the past looks at the floating dust. Write the past and present with the loneliness of the cold bladed harp. Gu Jian talked and laughed at his fingertips. ”

For a long time, no one moved. The sound of the piano is gone, the song is broken, and the sword is back to its sheath. However, Ye Chuxia still sat quietly, with his hands on the body of the piano, and did not move. Ye Chuyang clenched his sword and looked up at the sky, thoughtful. Ye Chuqing stood firmly with her eyes closed, and she had not yet recovered from the artistic conception just now.

A gust of wind blew, rolled up the dead leaves on the ground, and flew away with a whirlwind.

The people at the gate of the garden all stood up at some point and looked inside in a daze. Such a piano, such a sword, such a song, they have never been able to see it with their own eyes in their lifetime. At this time, the three sisters and brothers were like immortals coming down from the sky, as if they were going to ride the wind back.

Many years later, those who are still alive still remember the scene. The young and beautiful piano sound and elegant posture, the handsome young man's flexible swordsmanship and chic posture, the sweet voice of the cute girl and the novel songs, are all so beautiful and unforgettable. The three sisters and brothers seem to be the most beautiful picture scroll in heaven and earth.

Ye Qingyun came back to his senses first and laughed: "Okay, good!" ”

Ye Chuxia stood up and walked to his parents, and Ye Chuyang and Ye Chuqing also walked over one after another.

Xu Shi smiled with tears in his eyes: "It's so good...... The three of you sisters and brothers cooperate very well, your performance is the most beautiful and best that your mother has ever seen in her life, and my mother will never forget today in her life. ”

Ye Chuqing spread into Xu's arms and called coquettishly: "Mother! Xu stroked her head, and his heart was soft. How fortunate she is to have three such excellent children, and she has no regrets in this life.

And Ye Chuqing's heart was thinking about how to make herself practice such a piano skill. Today, Ye Chuxia's performance made her very envious, and she decided to learn to play the piano.
