Chapter 22: Casting Lots (Part II)
"Uncle, the county lord's sister just wants to know what kind of magical magic this Ling girl has." Lianbu walked to the main table lightly, poured the jade cup full of tea and respectfully handed it to Princess Xi. "I can't complain about my sister's impatience, the people of Chaoxi Valley who are shocking all over the world, who doesn't want to find out?"
Silently, he swept his eyes over the nobles present, and all the women in purple were so light, and immediately echoed as if they had just woken up from a dream, "Yes, yes!" Princess Niangniang, legend has it that Venerable Qingxi has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. We live in the depths of the boudoir, we have no chance to visit, today can be regarded as a blessing to be with the people of Chaoxi Valley, how can we not take this opportunity to open our eyes? ”
"Yes...... Oh, yes! Lu Qian also swept away the previous decline in the noise of everyone, and rolled her eyes to Princess Xi and said coquettishly, "Mother, don't you always say that Qian'er lacks talent?" If Miss Ling is willing to show a little, won't she also let her daughter benefit from it? ”
Unable to withstand the rising voices of the women, Princess Xi smiled at An Youran, who lowered her eyebrows and couldn't see any emotion, "Miss Ling, don't laugh." The name of Chaoxi Valley is like thunder, which really makes these girls' hearts run for a long time, so they are so rude. If so, can you teach them a lesson or two? ”
"Not really!" When she came back, the woman in purple fluttered like a beautiful butterfly and pounced on An Youran's side, her expression innocent and longing, "Miss Ling, Yu Rou is obsessed with piano music, but she has never been instructed by the Master, can you ask my sister to demonstrate a song for me?" ”
She said that she painted herself, and without waiting for An Youran to react, she ordered the maid with her, "Quick, bring my Yaoqin, and ask Miss Ling to play a song for us live." ”
Looking at Zhu Biyaoqin, who appeared on the case at the same time as the voice, An Youran was secretly amused in her heart. If you want to dig a pit and bury people, you shouldn't be in a hurry to show off with a shovel, isn't this a disguised place without three hundred taels of silver?! Real disdedication, disdedication!
As the white fingers stroked towards the body of the piano, a strange smile hung on the corner of the purple-clothed woman's lips. In addition to the two strings of Wen and Wu, the five strings of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu all ask the masters to move their hands and feet, and the first time they play is not noticeable, but with the strengthening of the strength, the tune will go out of tune in the middle of the song, and it is more likely to end up with broken strings. Therefore, whether it is the off-string out-of-tune with incomplete five notes in the playing, or the bad omen of broken strings, it is enough to make this Rongnan medical woman lose face!
However, the wishful thinking had just begun, but I saw that the medicine girl suddenly had her hands in the air, and she didn't follow up for a long time, and the woman in purple just wanted to ask, but she heard her crisp voice like a jade plate falling on a pearl, and exclaimed in a panic, "Oops! No way! I can't play this piano! In the valley, I often hear Grandpa Qingxi say that there are six taboos in Fuqin, and seven are not played. The six taboos are, cold, heat, wind, rain, thunder, and snow. Seven do not play refers to, do not play when you hear the mourning, do not play music, do not play redundant, do not play if you are not clean, do not play if you are not neatly dressed, do not play if you do not burn incense, and do not play if you do not meet a bosom friend......"
As she spoke, she pulled the coarse blue shirt on her body, and the girl dressed in men's clothes said with regret, "Everyone, it's really unfortunate, I've been busy with chores these days, I haven't bathed for two days, and I haven't changed my clothes for three days. So I can't play a song for you today, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Unexpectedly, the situation would develop like this, the purple-clothed woman's expression was slightly stunned, but before she was replaced by a smile that came back to her, "Miss Ling must not blame herself, even if this is the case, Rou'er is inconvenient to force it, so she has to give up this once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity to the other sisters." ”
Turning his head and beckoning to a noble girl wearing a green cloud brocade, the woman in purple was so sweet that she seemed to be tired of honey, "Laneige, why are you still stunned there?" Haven't you been working hard for a delicate chess game lately, but you can't figure it out? Don't you hurry up, let Miss Ling guide you through the maze! ”
"Right...... That's right! After a subtle pause, the noble girl named Laneige nodded busily and said, "Miss Ling, I've been really troubled by this chess game recently, please help me solve it!" ”
But before she could call someone to take out the chessboard, An Youran stopped with a wave of her hand, "Miss, wait!" The way of chess is to be silent, and the trade-off is urgent. Benevolence can be complete, righteousness can be kept, etiquette can change, wisdom can be both, and faith can be restrained. The gentleman knows the five, and he can talk about chess. I am here today to meet the princess and all the young ladies with great excitement, and I can't calm down for a long time, how can I play chess? What's more, the exquisite chess game, there is a catastrophe within a catastrophe, there is both co-living and immortality; or counterattack or retract the gas, the flowers are five and six, interlocking, fascinating, Ling Ran is afraid of being obsessed with it and living up to the beauty of this good day. Niangniang kindly invited to come down, originally for flower appreciation, but now for other time-consuming and labor-intensive, isn't it putting the cart before the horse, and the gains outweigh the losses? ”
Her backhand is an attack, which is really wonderful! not only cleverly avoided the problem, but also praised the princess in a different way, which really killed two birds with one stone, and took advantage of both horizontal and vertical. But how could Lu Qian, who was barely forbearing, be willing to give up? With a sneer, she sneered, "Miss Ling is really a person who pities flowers and cherishes jade, and her heart and mind are all concerned about the beautiful scenery of this good day. This is just right, as the saying goes, the clouds are easy to disperse, and the good scenery is difficult to stay, I have heard for a long time that the Danqing Mobao of the Qingxi Holy Venerable is unparalleled in the world, Miss Ling is a close confidant, and she has obtained a lot of true legends, so please splash ink and wave it for us, and keep the magnificent scenery of this house full of autumn chrysanthemums for us......"
Lu Qian has always acted resolutely, took the pen and ink directly from the desk and fell violently on An Youran's case, and commanded aggressively from above, "Draw quickly, don't make us wait for a long time!" ”
She's a minion?! Or a servant?! It's not impossible to deceive people too much, but it is true that the tricks should be brighter, the people in this world who dare to despise her are leisurely, if the ending does not reward her for her Shandandan blossoming and gorgeous, how can she be worthy of her noble sentiments that she has always known and tasted!?
Although the surface is a smile in the eyes, there is no peace and no waves, but for Lu Qian's command, there is no intention to buy it, An leisurely stabbed the pen and ink in front of him behind him, and replied in an awe-inspiring tone, "Lord Lu, when you want to write, when you watch and listen, you are absolutely worried and concentrating, and your heart is upright, it is wonderful." If the mind is not right, the book will be slanted; The ambition is not harmonious, and the words are upside down. Yes, I'm a book now, but I can't rhyme, and if I paint, I can only not get into its marrow, and I can't obey my fate! ”
"You ......" was so angry by her unabashed confrontation that she immediately turned her face, Lu Qian raised her eyebrows angrily, pulled out her saber, pointed directly at An and shouted, "You are a lowly medical girl, you dare to disobey your will again and again, it is clear that you don't take us seriously!" If you don't let your blood spill three feet today, you will be in vain in the name of my county lord! ”
Although she was not satisfied with Lu Qian's handling of it, Princess Xi was obviously dissatisfied with An Youran's evasion in every way, and after pressing Lu Qian with a light scold, she raised her eyebrows, and Sen Han said majestically, "Miss Ling, although Qian'er is reckless, they are indeed kind to ask for advice." Even if you can call the wind and rain to the valley to shake the past and the present, but there is no one in your eyes like you, is it a little too much!? ”
"Mother, I misunderstood." As if he was still unaware of the looming danger, An leisurely sat at the table with an unchanged face, his back straight and relaxed, "It's only because piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are really skills that can be seen everywhere, so I refused." Although Ling Ran didn't have any real insight, he did know a few words, and he knew the truth of 'come and not be rude'. Since the lady and the ladies are sincerely seeking advice and want to open their eyes, how can I fool the past with ordinary things? I want to show my housekeeping skills ugly, and I can live up to your warm expectations! ”
With that, she turned around and said to the old woman who had led the way before, "Mama Lao, help me and the guards waiting outside to send a message to them, and ask them to carry the wooden box in the southeast corner of my room!" ”
