Chapter 56: The Zhanglou Fire
Mu Qianlan nodded sincerely: "Yes, we are all very curious, I don't know what kind of unique performance Miss Ye will have in the piano art?" ”
Ye Yunxiang also came over and echoed: "Sister, just tell us, right?" Piano art is a test of skills, not songs, even if you say it, it's nothing! ”
Ye Tanghua blinked, hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone is so curious, then I tell everyone that it's actually okay." ”
Suddenly, the ears of all the young ladies were pricked up, for fear that they would not be able to hear the song that Ye Tanghua wanted to offer.
Ye Tanghua raised her eyebrows, looked at the eager young ladies around her, and a little ridicule rose between her eyebrows, do you want to be clever if you learn to fight with real talent? In that case, then you guys should play slowly! She doesn't mind helping them out and making them have a better time!
Thinking of this, she smiled: "The song I want to play is the calligraphy title Qingyunge, I don't know if it will help the young ladies?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the young ladies suddenly turned green. Qing Yunge? What's the difference between saying it and not saying it? They are not Ye Tang flowers! Not to mention what kind of bird seal was silently written, they hadn't even heard of the content of Qingyun Song, let alone the music score? Isn't that a joke!
At this time, everyone couldn't think about it, so they had to praise Ye Tanghua for a few words and then excuse themselves, Ye Tanghua's eyes turned to Mu Qianlan, who did not hide her annoyance, and smiled: "Is Cousin Qianlan's answer to Tanghua satisfactory?" ”
After listening to Ye Tanghua's words, Mu Qianlan realized that when she was close to Ye Tanghua, although her mouth was full of flattery, when she spoke, she was called Miss Ye.
When it comes to background, it is not rude for Mu Qianlan to call Ye Tanghua Miss Ye, but the problem is that the relationship between Mu Qianlan and Ye Tanghua is not just a simple matter of origin, the two of them are serious aunts and sisters!
When Mu Qianlan thought of this, she almost wanted to give herself a few slaps and go to have a close relationship with her cousin, but she was called Miss Ye, isn't this a mouth that shows her stuffing? As long as Ye Tanghua is not a fool, she will definitely be able to hear that her words are not sincere, she is too impulsive, but it turns out to be self-defeating, but it makes people play!
When Mu Qianlan thought of this, her teeth itched with hatred, so she could only reply with a smile: "Satisfied, of course satisfied, what qualifications do I have to be dissatisfied!" The song you play is up to you, what does it have to do with me? ”
Ye Tanghua smiled secretly in her heart, but her face pretended to be serious: "Well, that's right, but according to Cousin Qianlan, you don't need to ask me what tune I play, right?" I have to say a few words about this, you have to think clearly before doing things in the future, don't act rashly, it will be easy to do useless work. ”
"I don't need you to teach me this!" Mu Qianlan was angry for a while, and her voice involuntarily raised a few points, and the atmosphere between the two was not as relaxed as just now.
"I teach you this truth is love, not teaching you duty. Miss Mu Er, you are not young anymore, sometimes you should understand something, if you take everyone's affection for you as your duty, sooner or later everyone will not even do their duty to you. Such a simple truth, don't you still understand? Ye Tanghua smiled as before, but the irony between her eyebrows and eyes was even worse.
"You ......" Mu Qianlan was even more angry, and was almost about to shout, but Ye Tanghua took the lead and put her finger on her lips to make a silent movement, and at the same time pouted at Yun Yaotai, when Mu Qianlan turned around, she found that Han Yirou was already playing the piano in front of Yun Yaotai, the sound of the guqin was very small, if you didn't listen carefully in a quiet environment, you would basically not be able to hear it, so at this moment, Yun Yaotai had already quieted down, if Mu Qianlan really shouted it just now, then she would definitely become the focus of the whole Yun Yaotai in the first time. Han Yirou played a famous guqin song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", this piece is beautiful and elegant, melodious, Han Yirou's fingers are soft and white, and the posture of plucking on the strings is also very beautiful, her piano skills are really good, and she can't help but praise for a while: "Yes, it's really good, Miss Han's song is really good, and it is a material that can be made." ”
Han Yirou smiled slightly after hearing this, and got up from the piano bench to salute: "Thank you for your appreciation, Yirou is ashamed." ”
Le Zhen waved his hand to signal that Han Yirou didn't have to be like this, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to dare to do, playing well is playing well, this sentence is what you deserve, don't shirk." ”
Han Yirou heard that her body was lower, and her face also brought out some radiance: "Thank you for your advice, Yirou wrote it down." ”
When she retreated, she looked in the direction of Ye Tanghua, and was looking at Ye Tanghua with two eyes, Han Yirou smiled at Mu Qianlan and Ye Tanghua, and there was an obscure light in her eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Qianlan also had to swallow her anger, even for the sake of face, she couldn't have infighting with Ye Tanghua in front of Han Yirou, she was the leader of the performance at the old banquet, Ye Tanghua was Tanhua, but Han Yirou was the leader, this result represents the queen's wishes, so if nothing else, she will serve with Han Yirou and Ye Tanghua by the prince's side in the future, compared to Ye Tanghua, who is the third person, it is obvious that Han Yirou is a bigger enemy.
Mu Qianlan thought like this, and her hostility towards Ye Tanghua unconsciously shifted to Han Yirou, and she was thinking that she couldn't let Han Yirou bargain, when she saw several women in Tsing Yi rushing forward in a panic: "Oh no, no, ladies and ladies, please go down quickly, Nishang Pavilion is gone!" ”
This frightened many of the young ladies present, the scene suddenly became chaotic, several teachers also hurriedly walked down from the Yunyao platform, everyone went down the stairs together, during the period was a mess, the fire downstairs was not optimistic, but fortunately, only the dance clothes in the Nishang Pavilion were burned, and it did not affect the stairs downstairs, and the young ladies rushed downstairs, for fear that they would be late and become dead souls in the fire.
Ye Tanghua silently followed behind the panicked ladies with her skirt, the more she thought about it, the more strange things became, this fire came really strangely, she didn't show her talent in the previous life, and the women's art test was carried out safely and steadily to the end, why is this life so variable? Could it be that this fire also watched people put down dishes and saw that she was going to show her talents?
Ye Tanghua walked absentmindedly with everyone, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the development of things seemed to have reached the limit of her tolerance. Thinking about it, since the day of the old banquet, she has been being calculated by someone, first the old banquet did not receive the news of the performance, then Fu Lingyang's frame-up and framed, and then Mrs. Weiyuanhou's calculation, the carriage was robbed on the way home from the palace, and when she returned home, Aunt Ye Yuanzhi and Aunt Li added blockages everywhere, and now it is the fire in Zhanglou, so look at it, this year is actually thrilling and full of trouble.
It seems that she has been too gentle recently, patronizing the danger and forgetting to touch the melon, does the person behind the scenes really think she is easy to bully? Fu Lingyang's past is still there, how can she make it easier for those who dare to calculate her?
After a while, everyone gathered in the open space in front of the Zhang Building, everyone looked at the billowing smoke coming out of the Zhang Building, and was worried in their hearts, the Zhang Building was on fire, not to mention that the female art test could not be carried out, and even the female school must not be able to start classes for several days, although this fulfilled the wishes of many young ladies who did not like to learn things, but it was definitely not a good thing for Ye Tanghua.
"It's really unfortunate that this fire is so lit that I can't hear Tang'er's cousin's Qingyun song, it's a pity." Although Mu Qianlan didn't have the opportunity to show her talents, when she thought that Ye Tanghua's Qingyunge had also died, she was still more happy than disappointed after all, and now looking at Ye Tanghua's solemn face, Mu Qianlan couldn't help but gloat.
Ye Tanghua glanced at Mu Qianlan lightly, and the corners of her lips pulled out a trace of arc: "Zhanglou is the symbol of women's learning, and it is the treasure of Nanyan's boudoirs, and now it has suffered from the disaster of Zhurong, cousin Qianlan is not sad for the female students, not sad for the eldest ladies who are interested in learning, not sad for me to suffer this loss, but sad for not being able to hear my piano?" With all due respect, Cousin Qianlan is inevitably putting the cart before the horse, the piano can be played at any time, once the Zhanglou is burned, it will cost national strength to repair, which is more important, Cousin Qianlan doesn't understand! ”
Mu Qianlan made Ye Tanghua choke a breath of turbidity in her chest and couldn't swallow it, and smiled reluctantly: "It's not that I don't know the severity, just say that, you don't have to be serious, the horizontal and vertical Zhang Building also has to be repaired every year, isn't it?" ”
"This is the words of Miss Qianjin, a porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, half a thread and half a thread of perseverance and material resources are difficult, although the annual repair of Zhanglou is costly, but the use of materials is also worthy of the people's labor, and now it has suffered from this natural disaster and man-made disaster, Cousin Qianlan only said that it is repaired, but I don't know how much wood and stone materials are needed for this repair, it is all silver in the treasury of Nanyan, and it is the wealth of the country!" Ye Tanghua was in a bad mood, and she spoke even more impulsively, and she didn't plan to let Mu Qianlan go like this.
Mu Qianlan saw that Ye Tanghua refused to let go, and she was angry for a while, so she sneered and said: "Cousin Tang'er's words are really good, good is not like what a woman said, but like the words of a scholar, speaking of which, I advise my cousin, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and her cousin should not ponder some men's things all day long, forget her identity, as the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and needlework is a woman's duty!" ”
Ye Tanghua flicked her sleeves, looked at Mu Qianlan and sneered, the rotten wood on her face could not be carved: "It turns out that my cousin is worried about my Nanyan state affairs, but in the eyes of Cousin Qianlan, she is overstepping her duty?" Then I have to ask the last sentence, humanity is the responsibility of the rise and fall of the world, why can't I, an official eunuch, be worried? Moreover, people praise the woman and say that she is virtuous and helping, her eyes are limited to the boudoir, and she is knitting every day, but she is only helping, how can she be called virtuous? ”
Ye Tanghua said, not giving Mu Qianlan a chance to open her mouth, and sneered: "Cousin Qianlan's trick is really wonderful to use out of context, there is a popular saying among the people that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', but what is the previous sentence?" A man is virtuous, and a woman is virtuous. This half sentence clearly says that women should not show off their talents, but should be virtuous, and after the mouth of Cousin Qianlan, she became a woman should not be talented? Cousin Qianlan is knowledgeable, how to make such a joke! Do you really don't know the true meaning of this sentence, or do you bully your cousin for not reading much and bluffing people?! ”
