Chapter 42: The Conspiracy of the Eldest Lady
Back in the Plum Garden, Lin Muyao did not go directly to Banyuepo, but took Qin Yan to a pavilion in a secluded place, and ordered someone to bring Yaoqin, pen and ink and other things, and put them on the table one by one.
Qin Yan was puzzled by her inexplicable actions: "Hasn't the eldest lady already tested my level, I'm not very good at these things......"
"Wrong! Your level is not 'not very good', but you don't know anything at all, no different from the old farmers who hoe and plough the fields in the countryside!"
Qin Yan basically adapted to her temperament, didn't take her sarcastic words to heart, and said calmly: "Don't look down on the old farmer, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and the eldest lady and the old farmer don't-"
"Shut up!" Lin Muyao interrupted him angrily, pressed her hands on the Yaoqin, and said in a deep voice, "Look at it, Yaoqin has eight basic fingerings, split, support, wipe, pick, hook, kick, hit, pick, play the strings and press the strings to be strong, the so-called 'play the strings to break the strings, press the desire to enter the wood', the fingers must be flexible, not stiff......"
As she explained, she plucked the strings, and a pair of slender hands flew up and down between the strings, playing a string of smooth and faint music, as if the waves of the green wood texture were also rippling. Qin Yan didn't know what she wanted, but she also looked at it carefully. I saw her pressing the strings with her left hand and her right fingers repeatedly, like a snow-white elf dancing happily. The sound of the piano flowed from between her fingers, sometimes light and clear, sometimes calm and deep, sometimes distant and soothing, sometimes agitated and surging, until finally it turned into a sonorous sound, and the afterglow was cut off when both hands were pressed together.
Qin Yan had just heard some of the charm, and was in high spirits, when he heard the sound of breaking, but the afterglow was distinct, as if he had been cut off from it, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "Why don't you keep playing?"
Lin Muyao glanced at him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "It's over." ”
"It's over, there's still the second half!"
"What do you know, this song "Heavenly Death" has only been handed down in half. What's more, Miss Ben is not obligated to play for you!"
Qin Yan exhaled lightly, dissipated the unpleasant feeling that was like a fish in his throat, and asked, "That being the case, what did the eldest lady call me here for?"
"Teach you how to play the piano. Lin Muyao got up and took two steps to the side, and said, "Now it's your turn, give me the song I just played." ”
"Hey, aren't you joking, the day after tomorrow is your father's birthday, you don't go to rehearse the show, but instead drag me here to do these things, and just let me watch it once and then pop it up for you, do you think I am a god?"
"Can't you do it, can you?" Lin Muyao's eyes showed a cold look, "If you can't do it, you won't have the chance to enter the library again." ”
"Huh!" Qin Yan was stunned, "You mean that if I do it, let me ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, my patience is limited, can you play it?"
"Play!" Qin Yan didn't say much, turned over and sat down in Lin Muyao's position just now, learned her posture just now, pressed her hands on the strings, and plucked gently after a little thought.
With the memory of the Searching God Mantra and the guidance of Lin Muyao's words, Qin Yan copied the posture and movements of the entire song, and even the technique and intensity of the force were exactly the same, and there was no difference from the tune that Lin Muyao played just now.
After a sonorous break again, Qin Yan pressed the strings with both hands, frowned and said, "It's only half a song, it's really not pleasant." ”
"That's your ignorance! Although this song "Heavenly Death" is only half a section, it contains almost all the playing skills, as long as you practice this song, you can play the rest. When Lin Muyao said this, her expression was a little complicated. It took her a whole month to learn this song, and she was still under the careful guidance of Mu Chengxue. And the person in front of him has already mastered all the skills just by watching it once. How unfair God is, there are always some people who are far beyond the ordinary, Haochen Gang is like this, Die Shumeng is like this, and the person in front of him is also like this!
Qin Yan saw that she was a little stunned, and asked aloud, "Is the eldest lady satisfied?" "If you are satisfied, fulfill your promise and take this young master back to the library pavilion!"
Lin Muyao came back to her senses, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly showed a delicate smile: "Yes, you really didn't disappoint me." Let's learn calligraphy and painting, listen well......" She sat down in the other direction, picked up her pen, glanced at the scenery outside the pavilion, and began to write.
"Why are you still engaging in this kind of thing...... Qin Yan muttered in a low voice, so he had to continue to stare at her every move.
It didn't take long for Qin Yan to imitate her movements and make an identical painting. After that, Miss Lin asked him to memorize a whole book of poems, and taught him embroidery, weaving and other female worker skills.
Qin Yan became more and more suspicious of Lin Muyao's purpose. Doing so many girls' things, she doesn't want Young Master Ben to pretend to be a woman, right? That's too embarrassing, and she won't do it if she kills Young Master Ben!
But when he thought of the book "The General Outline of the Sword Technique of Qingweiju" in the Library Pavilion, his heart tightened again......
Fortunately, until the two walked out of the pavilion, Lin Muyao did not take women's clothes for him to try on, so that he didn't have to worry about it senselessly. However, Miss Lin had no intention of taking him to the library pavilion, and judging from the route they walked, the next destination was the Half Moon Slope in the north.
Along the way, Lin Muyao seemed to be caught in a lot of trouble, and never spoke again. It wasn't until she came to the Half Moon Slope that she looked at Mu Chengxue and a group of guards and servants from a distance, Lin Muyao paused slightly, turned her face sideways and whispered: "You have to behave well in front of Miss Mu for a while, so that she will look at you differently." ”
After understanding the deep meaning of this sentence, Qin Yan's eyes couldn't help but widen. The eldest lady specially taught me so many things, wouldn't it be for me to use to please Mu Chengxue?
Could it be because the eldest lady fell in love with Hao Chenggang and didn't want Mu Chengxue to share with her, so she sent me to distract Mu Chengxue's attention, and then she took advantage of the situation......
He immediately developed a rich association, and the picture of the two young ladies trapped by love and turning against each other came to his mind. In the end, only one person could lie in Haochengang's strong arms, and said with a hint of triumph: "Mu Chengxue, that cheap maid......" Of course, it is more likely that both of them are bamboo baskets to draw water, because Qin Yan has seen Haochengang's eyes and feels that he and himself should be the same kind of people, and they can give up everything for the sake of the avenue. When Hao Chengang rescued the two young ladies that day, his eyes were calm from beginning to end, and he was not confused by the beauty for half a minute......
Speaking of which, the eldest lady also thinks too highly of me, and it's no problem to let Young Master Ben go to the next poison person, but it's a bit suspenseful to want to restrain Miss Mu's heart......
At this time, Lin Muyao had already walked up the mountain steps, turned around and urged: "What are you still doing in a daze, come here!"
Qin Yan hurriedly followed. Walking up the hill, I heard Mu Chengxue come up and say, "You two have been there for too long, tell me honestly, did you do anything bad?" Her gaze swirled between Qin Yan and Lin Muyao, her eyes were bright, and she deliberately showed a narrow expression.
The poor girl didn't know that her close friend was teaching a country boy how to soak her!
"What nonsense. Lin Muyao walked over and naturally took her hand and whispered a few words in her ear. Seeing Mu Chengxue look at Qin Yan in surprise, she said with a suspicious face: "It can't be so fast, you are lying to me again!"
Lin Muyao continued to explain in a low voice, the two pretty faces were almost pasted together, whispering intimately, with the background of plum blossoms falling all over the mountain, it can really be said that the peach blossoms on the human face are intertwined, which makes people dizzy.
Qin Yan saw a turmoil in his heart, and quickly looked away, but a faint sense of sadness floated in his heart. Such a beautiful picture will be broken by one of the protagonists himself, and then it will be replaced by an ugly scene of resentment and fighting, which is really sad. As the saying goes, the way of heaven is impermanent, and all the good things in the world are only short-lived vain. If I can't find the root of the Great Dao, I will also turn into a pile of dry bones in a few decades, what is the meaning of everything I have experienced?
"Are you saying let Qin Gongzi play your role, and you play that villain?" Mu Chengxue raised her jade hand in surprise to touch her friend's forehead, "Are you okay, is it because you were frightened in the morning, don't you ......" The last sound turned into a stunned groan, Lin Muyao moved her face and kissed her soft lips.
There was silence all around for a moment, and the movements of everyone on the slope froze for a moment, and the servants who saw this scene were all stunned, and then lowered their heads in a panic, not daring to take another look.
Qin Yan was also stunned. In order to defeat her rival in love, the eldest lady really worked hard, and even went into battle herself......
Mu Chengxue's eyes widened at a loss, and she let Lin Muyao lick her cherry lips in a daze, and she didn't react until a moment later, pushing Lin Muyao away hard, and shouted angrily: "Yao'er, you are dead, that's still my ......" Speaking of this, she noticed Qin Yan's gaze, and her cheeks were dyed into a gorgeous red glow as if they were burned by fire.
"Your first kiss, isn't it. Lin Muyao smiled lightly, deliberately stretched out her tongue and licked the corners of her lips, revealing a leisurely aftertaste, "The taste is very good, and the aftertaste is endless, just like the sound of your piano." ”
"You, you ......" Mu Chengxue, who was so light, immediately turned red and wanted to cry. Lin Muyao hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Xue'er, don't be sad, you didn't suffer, that was also my first kiss! Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't cry, I don't dare anymore......"
It's easy to talk about it, and it's an oath and a gambling curse, so that the teaser Miss Mu with tears and misty eyes makes her laugh.
