It is said that Dong Yanzhi thought for a moment that she had accidentally entered the garden courtyard, and she didn't feel like a deer panicking. In that era of etiquette and moderation, it was a faux pas for Dong Yanzhi to break into the courtyard so recklessly, not to mention blindly eavesdropping on the elegant sound of other people's pianos. Although it is in my aunt's house

There's no voyeurism to talk about, but it's a little embarrassing. She wanted to explain something, but the person was so far away, separated by a pool of lotus lotuses, and her voice was a little indistinct after all.

"Heh, heh, Miss Dong, you are the aunt who just came yesterday. Miss Ruhua of my family is telling you to come over at this time. A girl wearing a pink peach jacket stood behind Dong Yanzhi and whispered, the gentle words were like a green lotus with water in her bones.

Dong Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Hmm", and then asked the girl back: "Who is your young lady?" How do you know I just came here yesterday? The girl replied: "Miss Dong, don't worry, just come with me, wait a while, you will know who my young lady is." ”

After that, the girl stood aside and made a gesture of please. Although Dong Yanzhi was suspicious for a while, she was at her aunt's house after all, so she didn't have many worries and followed directly.

When I arrived at the small courtyard of Dehechi, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old delicate girl with a rusty face and a peach blossom smile like spring, and she was looking at Dong Yanzhi with a kind and delicate face. That detrimental demeanor seems to be a beauty who came out of the painting, and the infinite delicate gentleness is all presented in this glance, dripping out a charming thought.

"Heh, you must be the sister Yanzhi who came from the south yesterday, the little cousin is so polite." The delicate woman saw Dong Yanzhi, who was following the maid, stepped forward first and said, there is no longer the squeamishness of everyone's young lady.

Dong Yanzhi couldn't prevent this beautiful woman from suddenly coming to this set of etiquette, and hurriedly responded: "Well, I am Dong Yanzhi who came from afar yesterday, who is the girl?" I only heard the beautiful girl smile, covered her mouth and quipped: "Ouch, it's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family." I'm your little cousin Du Ruhe, it's no wonder you don't know, it's all because I went home late yesterday and didn't have time to meet Sister Yanzhi, so that the result of meeting but not knowing each other now is really laughing to death. ”

Dong Yanzhi's apricot eyes widened, and she responded with a smile: "Hey, I'm really reckless, I should have guessed that it was you, my sister." Yesterday, my aunt kept saying that you went out to learn the piano why didn't you come back, it turns out that my sister is really a smart blue heart, the piano skills are wonderful, and the talent is smart, just now the piano sound is really envious of the dead sister, it seems that the sister is not to hook the sister's soul away and vow not to give up? I thought it was the fairy who had descended to earth, and the piano music played in this small courtyard was so lingering and sorrowful. ”

"Okay, Sister Yanzhi, don't praise your sister to the sky, I'm not so good, my sister should come in with me first and have a cup of tea, let's sit down and talk about it." Du Ruhe said as he turned around and walked towards the back room, leaving a faint scent of marriage fat behind him.

Dong Yanzhi moved the lotus step lightly to follow, and the charm of listening to the piano just now seemed to linger in her mind. Now I have witnessed the beautiful Ruhe sister who is as glamorous as the hibiscus out of the water, and I am even more happy, in this distant foreign land in the northern country, there is a woman who likes the art of piano, chess and music as much as herself. This has somewhat made me find a sense of belonging in a foreign land, so I won't be so lonely.

Entering the wing, Du Ruhe had already moved a round carved stool and placed it next to the desk, and greeted Dong Yanzhi with a happy face and said: "Sister, sit down quickly, let my sister take a closer look at my sister's handsome and dexterous appearance." I used to hear my mother say that there was a charming cousin in the south, and I didn't want to see it today, and it was really the best among people, and the fairy was like a mortal. The women in this world are handsome and delicate, and their full temperament and description seem to be all occupied by their sisters, and my aunt's sister is only staring at her eyes and being red and anxious. Sister, don't blame my sister for being such an anxious monkey, just blame my sister for being really big, and all the advantages of a woman are given to you alone. ”

Yahuan, who led the way just now, also helped: "Miss Dong is a noble person in the embryo of a beauty, as soon as you come, my young lady's humble courtyard will also shine." Today, looking at the lotus flowers in this pond, it has become green, dark and green, and the bright lake is in autumn. I think it's also the luxury brought by Miss Dong's beautiful embryo. This sharp-tongued girl wanted to say, but Dong Yanzhi grabbed Bai Dao first.

"I'm as precious as my sister's gold, not only is he handsome and delicate, but his heart is also dexterous. It's the piano rhyme that my sister played by leaning against the window just now, which is enough to shame me. I'm afraid that the current piano art poetry will also be a top and one beautiful, and that one dares to expect to compete with his sister. Arouse my sister's envy of my heart, but it's like a thief's heart, I can't wait to rob a good sister directly from the house, wouldn't I be happy to have a golden house to hide Jiao. Mo Ruo now fell into a greedy and itchy sore spot, tormenting this happy heart, I am afraid that it is a tumbling in an oil pot at the right time, and it hurts. ”

"Hey, Sister Dong's words exaggerate the soul of a sister as if she was flying out of the clouds. It's just that my heart as a sister is clear, and the level of my piano music score is much worse. Not to mention that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, I am afraid that it is rare to even participate in the piano and chess event of the Gao Wangfu this autumn. However, my sister doesn't know how good Sister Dong's piano and music skills are, otherwise we will participate in the "Qin and Chess Festival" held by Gao Wangfu this autumn with my sister in one fell swoop. I heard that if you win the top three rankings, you can also get a great reward from the saints today. Du Ruhe said with envy, the feelings in his heart seemed to be a little proud, and there seemed to be a little bit of indifference and sadness.

Dong Yanzhi heard Du Ruhe's mouth say that the Gao Wangfu would hold this autumn's piano and chess event, and her heart was suddenly filled with emotion. Suddenly, the fragments of practicing piano and chess in the blue and white embroidery building came to mind, and the scene of the guests throwing money and rewarding the jackpot because they were happy. But Dong Yanzhi was only happy for a moment, she came back to her senses in the time in front of her, ignoring Du Ruhe, who was confused and longing in front of her, and a trace of imperceptible wry smile turned into the corner of her mouth. A sigh slipped out of his mouth gently.

Seeing this, Du Ruhe's eyes were quick to see this, and he urgently asked why Dong Yanzhi sighed so silently. Dong Yanzhi couldn't help frowning and said: "My sister is looking forward to the piano and chess event, and she is naturally happy to be a sister." I'm afraid that I really don't dare to go to this event, so I have high hopes for my sister. ”

"Why did my sister say this, my sister was really ashamed. I think that this piano and chess event is not only a comparison of music and art, but also famous all over the world, and when it shines in the court, it has such a glorious reputation, why did my sister say such depressing words. Could it be that my sister has seen through the red dust at such a young age and is not moved by worldly fame and fortune. Is there a constant hardship or something else to report. ”

Dong Yanzhi was about to answer Du Ruhe's question, but she didn't want a green-clothed girl ring to hurriedly walk in and said, "Miss Ruhe, Madame quickly called you over, saying that you should visit the distant guest first when you get up in the morning?" Mo fell for the hospitality of the Du family. ”

Du Ruhe glanced at Dong Yanzhi, and the debater hurriedly replied with a helpless look: "You go back to Mrs. Rin first, and say that I will go now, don't let my mother wait for a long time." ”

The girl responded and turned to leave, why not trample on.

There was a kind lady sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in the Du Mansion Hall, and on both sides were two or three good-looking servants standing with their hands down. The hall was surprisingly quiet for a while, only the sparse morning sun slanted in, sparsely falling, and the stars sprinkled on the ground, radiating dazzling light.

Du Ruhe walked in briskly, and said with a squeamish face: "Mother, what's the important matter of sending someone over to summon He'er early in the morning?" Don't let the family sleep for a while, at this time, He'er is still dizzy. ”

Ha, ha, Mrs. Liu suddenly laughed and said: "He'er is really stubborn, my mother called you over in such a hurry, just to introduce you to my aunt and cousin Dong Yanzhi from the south." Why is my son so rude? Isn't it annoying that my mother is strictly controlled? ”

Who knew that Du Ruhe didn't answer Mrs. Liu's words, but smiled and said, "Mother, that's it?" I've been with my aunt and cousin a long time ago. I was discussing it in the backyard just now, and if my mother hadn't sent someone to call me out, I would still be chatting with my cousin at this time. ”

"Oh, yes, you haven't met yet? How did they come together. Mrs. Liu asked with a confused expression, as if she didn't believe what Du Ruhe said.

Du Ruhe saw that his mother was puzzled, and she also had a puzzled look. smiled lightly, and explained thoroughly how he and Dong Yanzhi met each other. I only heard Mrs. Liu laugh smugly: "Auntie, this Dong baby is really spiritual, I forgot myself when I heard your piano, and I thought that Yanzhi's baby is also a person in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." If this is very good, He'er can get along with her aunt and cousin in the same room to discuss the principles of piano and chess music, and show off her skills for the "piano and chess event" in Gaowang's Mansion this autumn. ”

As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, Du Ruhe frowned and said: "Mother, it's not that He'er doesn't get along with her cousin, it's just that when her cousin heard about this 'piano and chess event', she was full of sorrow and doubts, I don't know what reason she did this?" Haul was wondering about this. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Liu asked with a puzzled glare, and the doubts in her heart suddenly filled her forehead.

"Yes, He'er was about to ask her cousin why she was so sentimental, so her mother sent someone to invite her. didn't bother to ask in detail, so I came to my mother's side. Du Ruhe explained to Mrs. Liu in time, as if telling her mother that this cousin seemed to have a lot of inhumane concerns.

In fact, of course, Mrs. Liu didn't understand why Dong Yanzhi was so worried at such a young age, she knew everything Dong Yanzhi had experienced in the courtyard of the Blue and White Embroidery Building in Liyang Town.

As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for three years. It is estimated that Dong Yanzhi is also based on this in her heart, so she will feel worried and afraid of what grand events these dignitaries will hold.

While the mother and son were talking, Dong Yanzhi stepped in. was so shocked that Mrs. Liu almost screamed, and then glared at Dong Yanzhi in a daze, without saying a word.
