Chapter Fifty-Three: Light Smoke Gathers Fog, and Snow Reflects in the Pines
When Mu Jiu went back, the birthday banquet just began, the round table filled the lobby, and the stage in the middle was singing the birthday celebration.
Because it's an open-air meal, there aren't so many rules, and although men and women don't have different tables, everyone is here, and there's no curtains or anything.
Mu Jiu was sitting next to Mu Shiying, and Mu Ruolan was sitting on the other, although they were not so comfortable, but neither of them was the kind of person who caused trouble, but they also got a clean feeling.
"Okay, one more."
After singing the song, everyone applauded, and just as everyone was waiting for the opening of the new play, under the red curtain, a slender figure with crimson light gauze slowly came, holding a pipa in his hand.
"It's ...... Miss Wei? ”
There are many noble girls in the capital, and there is a princess who is known as the Nine Heavens Fairy and the blue water is in front of her, these noble girls are a lot darker, of course, there are many talented and good-looking people who can compete with the princess, and this person is the eldest lady of the Wei family, Wei Yingxue.
Light smoke gathers fog, and snow is reflected in the pines.
Princess Ninghua is a fairy spirit, Wei Yingxue is an ethereal fog, low-key, indifferent, it can be said that she stays at home, but she declares that she is not in good health, and rarely attends banquets, but the palace banquet is still back, and her reputation is to present a pair of Guanyin pictures made by herself at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother and began to become famous.
If Princess Ninghua is famous for her beauty, Wei Yingxue relies on her talent, of course, she is also a great beauty, although she rarely appears in front of everyone, but it is because it is rare to see it that adds a sense of mystery, but it makes people yearn for it.
It's far away, and you can't see your face clearly, but you can distinguish one or two from your body and temperament, and you do have capital.
A stool was placed on the stage, Wei Yingxue walked to the stool and sat down, raised her hand and slid the sound, and the next moment she began to play, playing the most familiar birthday song, but slightly changed, the pipa sound was not urgent, a little less sonorous, and it sounded very pleasant.
However, this song is only half talked about, the sound of the piano suddenly paused, and the next moment suddenly rang up, instantly pulling everyone's nerves, and then, the sound of the piano was like raindrops, and it turned out to be a marching song.
A song pops up at the birthday party?
Mu Jiu felt that a gaze fell on him, and subconsciously looked over, and saw Xiao Junshu sitting not far away in a dark brocade robe, obviously everyone was sitting, but he had an aura that made people see him at a glance, and his extremely prosperous appearance seemed very incompatible with the people around him.
However, when Mu Jiu looked over, Xiao Junshu really looked at the stage seriously, that gaze just now was not his?
Xiao Junshu did not sit with the Xiao family, next to him sat kraft candy Xiahou Jin, and there were three other young and handsome men, although their appearance was slightly inferior to Xiao Junshu, but they were also dragons and phoenixes among people, two of them were embroidered with dragons on their clothes, they had always been the crown prince and the third prince, and the other was the fourth prince.
Taishi's birthday, the saint did not come in person, but his sons ran very actively.
Wei Yingxue can be regarded as the first talented woman, this piano skill is naturally not bad, and many people applaud after a song.
Wei Yingxue got up with the pipa, bent down and bowed slightly, and then looked in the direction of Wei Taishi: "Yingxue has a birthday song, I wish my grandfather happiness such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, and evergreen pine cranes, a song to go on the expedition, I wish my grandfather a long life of 100 years, and another hundred years of journey, such as the green mountains do not fall." ”
Wei Taishi obviously liked this granddaughter very much, and nodded again and again, and the others naturally gave face, applauding and applauding.
Wei Yingxue slowly walked down from the stage, handed the pipa to the maid, walked to the table of the Wei family's daughters, and came all the way, I don't know how many noble ladies sighed helplessly, what a good girl, but unfortunately she can't be her own daughter-in-law.
Wei Yingxue and the third prince are cousins, not surprisingly, she is the third princess, even if she is not the third prince, she will marry other princes, and it is impossible to match it to an ordinary official family.
Everyone's eyes followed Wei Yingxue's steps, wanting to see the true face of this mysterious talented woman, but saw Wei Yingxue suddenly stop, and the table happened to be where the princes were sitting.
She slowly turned to face the table, everyone guessed that she was right to the third prince, only to see her bow slightly, and then looked at the Marquis of Dingbei, politely polite: "Yingxue's expedition just now is not imposing enough, so that Hou Ye smiled, if there is any shortcoming, please ask Hou Ye to give some advice." ”
Everyone's eyes brightened instantly, this situation was not right.
Could it be that the person Miss Wei has a crush on is not the prince, but the Marquis of Dingbei? Although this Dingbeihou is indeed a rare beautiful man, but that virtue is a little difficult to explain, why is Miss Wei so blind?
The beauty is gracious, and any young man present will probably be a little agitated, get up and politely return the salute to show his cultivation and demeanor, but Xiao Junshu didn't, he still looked at sitting upright but seemed to be lazy and uninhibited, and he didn't know what to say, so Miss Wei stiffened slightly, saluted again, and then left with an ugly face.
Mu Jiu gossiped up his ears and listened, and in the face of Miss Wei's favor, Dingbei Hou only replied with one sentence: "Miss Wei's piano skills are superb, but the marching song on the battlefield is not played like this." ”
It is equivalent to negating the tune played by Wei Yingxue, Miss Wei is arrogant, she must be a little arrogant, she was denied by Xiao Junshu in front of so many people, and her face is not ugly.
Fortunately, they didn't speak loudly, but not many people heard them.
However, at their table, the third prince was dissatisfied, and when he saw Wei Yingxue's gloom, he immediately asked Xiao Junshu: "That day, my aunt's other village, I heard that Hou Ye rewarded a servant who played "Breaking the Army", Yingxue's piano skills are all ashamed of the musicians in the palace, could it be that in the eyes of Hou Ye, Yingxue's piano skills are not as good as a servant?" ”
It seems a little inappropriate to compare Miss Wei with a servant, but it makes sense, no matter how you look at Wei Yingxue's piano skills, she should be better, Dingbei Hou rewarded a servant, but said that Wei Yingxue played badly, which was clearly intentional.
