"Brother, Marshal, and Brother Yu, why are you all here!"
A brisk and familiar male voice came from the direction of the city gate along with the sound of horse hooves. Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi rode two horses, one black and one red respectively.
When the two came closer, Yu Xiufan quickly got off his horse and greeted everyone. Yuan Yuyi was also polite and generous. Only when she met Qu Jiayue, the expressions of the two cousins were a little subtle.
After a few words of greeting, Yu Xiufan suggested with a smile: "As the saying goes, meeting by chance is worse than meeting by chance. Let's go for a walk and drink...tea together!"
When the words came to his lips, Yu Xiufan changed the word "wine" to "tea" abruptly. He felt secretly happy: God was really helping him. Today he made an appointment with Yuan Yuyi to go to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense. Originally, I was worrying about whether it would be rude to invite Yuan Yuyi to a teahouse or restaurant to sit with the beautiful lady. Now I'm fine, let's go with the flow.
Thinking about it, Yu Xiufan's eyes sparkled.
Young Master Liu Wu and Yu Xiufan grew up wearing the same pair of trousers. You could tell what Yu Xiufan was thinking by looking at his appearance. They also joined in and encouraged Xiao Yi and Guan. Yubai walked toward Fengyun Tea House in a grand manner.
Qu Jiayue, who deliberately lagged a step behind, stared at Guan Yubai's slender back, barely suppressing the smile at the corner of her mouth. She looked as elegant and calm as usual, only a pair of unusually bright eyes revealed her thoughts.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse welcomed everyone to the private dining room on the second floor in person.
In the elegant seats, there are still things left by the Third Young Master Hua, Qu Jiayue and their entourage. There are pianos, chess, books, paintings, and tea. At this moment, the tea has cooled down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ordered the waiter to give it to the distinguished guests. We had the best Longjing and the specialty dim sum in the tea house.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea and incense, and the sound of wind blowing leaves can be heard outside the window. The atmosphere is quiet and elegant.
Yuan Yuyi glanced half a circle around the room, her eyes fell on a piano in the corner, she raised her eyebrows thoughtfully, and blurted out: "Could this be the 'Great Sage's legacy'?"
"Miss Yuan has really good taste!" Miss Hua responded, her black eyes sparkling.
"So this piano belongs to Miss Hua?" Yuan Yuyi walked to the piano and gently plucked the strings. The sound of the piano was clear and clear, "It's such a good piano, no wonder it can be used as a palace piano for the former dynasty!"
Miss Hua saw that Yuan Yuyi was a person who knew how to play the piano, and the smile on her lips grew wider, "Miss Yuan, do you want to give it a try?"
Yuan Yuyi wrinkled her little face and said: "I won't show off my embarrassment. My mother said that I am just a flower stand. It's okay if you ask me to play "Autumn Wind Ci", this is the legacy of the Great Sage. 'It is a rare and famous piano, with beautiful and rich sound, but it was wasted in my hands..."
Qu Jiayue's eyes flashed, and she interrupted with a smile: "Liu Shuang, you are too humble." Liu Shuang is Yuan Yuyi's title. Qu Jiayue and Yuan Yuyi have not been close since they were children. They call each other by their titles.
Qu Jiayue picked up a piece of piano music on the table beside her, stepped forward and said, "I just happened to find a piece of broken music for "Butterfly Sleepwalking". Just now, Miss Hua and Miss Chang were trying to re-write it. This remnant of the song has not yet been completed, but Miss Hua and I already have ambiguities... How about you, Liushuang, take a look at it for us?"
Yuan Yuyi was also aroused with some interest. She looked at all the music scores composed by Qu Jiayue and Miss Hua, and frowned slightly.
Before she could speak, she heard a "zheng" sound from the piano. She looked down and realized that Xiao Yu had walked to the piano table at some point, stretched out his little hand to pluck the strings, and then raised his head. With a small face, she looked at Yuan Yuyi with burning eyes: "Auntie, play the piano!" Play it for Brother Yu!
Xiao Yi snatched Xiao Yu away in a funny manner, and flicked his forehead, "You brat, you're used to calling people around!" Look at how skilled this brat is, he must be doing it a lot at home. His mother played the piano for him!
Little Xiao Yu looked at his father aggrievedly. He didn't do anything? !
However, Xiao Yu's words gave Yuan Yuyi a flash of inspiration, and she said with a smile: "Brother Yu is right, you will know it in the end." She looked around the crowd and said, "Anyway, everyone has nothing to do. Listen too, maybe we can each draw on our own strengths."
Qu Jiayue's smile became even brighter, she clapped her hands and echoed: "Liu Shuang, you have a great idea! Then let me try it out first."
Qu Jiayue has always been very confident in her piano skills. She has no children, but she can stand out in the harem of King Xiye. Firstly, she has outstanding appearance. Secondly, because of her extraordinary piano skills. Those vulgar fans of Xiye are so outstanding.
After Qu Jiayue burned incense and purified her hands, she walked to the piano table and sat down. After testing the sound, she began to pluck the strings.
The sweet piano sound sounded, melodious and broad, clear and moving, and gradually became sad...
This is only the first section of "Butterfly Dreaming". Soon the music of the piano stopped abruptly. Others in the seats were also a little unfinished. Mr. Liu Wu praised: "Miss Qu is really excellent at playing the piano!"
Yuan Yuyi glanced at Qu Jiayue, with a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.
"You're showing off your ugliness." Qu Jiayue stood up gracefully, blessed everyone, and returned to her seat.
Then it was Miss Hua's turn. The beginning of the song was the same, but after two melodies, it started to be a little different. The tune was ethereal, lively and smooth.
When Miss Hua stopped her hand, there was silence in the elegant seat until Xiao Yu clapped her hands "papapapa", which was very flattering.
Yuan Yuyi frowned in thought. No wonder they couldn't argue. She really couldn't say which one was better. Different people have different understandings of the music. Both sections were well composed and in line with the original artistic conception of the music. When I first heard it, the tune of Qu Jiayue was more distinctive and left a deeper impression on people. In comparison, Miss Hua's section seemed a bit bland, but it was light and interesting, leaving a lingering charm. ……
Both of them have their own merits, but...
"Miss Hua's is better..." Yuan Yuyi said honestly.
Qu Jiayue's smile froze, she took a deep breath and said softly, "Liu Shuang, why?"
Yuan Yuyi pinched her chin and muttered: "I can't explain something..."
Qu Jiayue pursed her lips and said seriously: "Liu Shuang, you always want me to lose clearly, right?" As she said that, she looked at Guan Yubai in front of her on the right, stood up and said, "The marshal is both civil and military, and he is expert in everything. Can you give me some advice on Mingyue?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Guan Yubai, who was drinking tea.
Guan Yubai put down the celadon tea cup in his hand and said, "Can you lend me the remaining music score at the end?"
Seeing that Guan Yubai seemed to be making the decision for her, Qu Jiayue was overjoyed and quickly presented the original fragment of music.
After Guan Yubai flipped through the remaining music, he stood up and walked towards the piano case. Miss Hua, who was sitting behind the piano case, guessed something and hurriedly got up and gave the piano to Guan Yubai.
After Guan Yubai casually tried the piano sounds, he flicked the strings, and a string of piano sounds escaped from under his fingers, as high and distant as the sky, ethereal and free and easy...
As soon as he made a move, the other two piano masters immediately showed extraordinary performance.
This "Great Sage's Legacy" can only be considered alive in his hands...
When the sound of the piano stopped, Miss Hua couldn't help but blurt out: "It's so magical." She suddenly felt that this piano in her hands was really a waste of natural resources.
"Sounds good to you, foster father!" Xiao Yu sat in his father's arms and clapped again.
"I understand." Chang Huanwei said thoughtfully from the side, "Miss Hua's composition is too smooth, while Miss Qu's composition is... too radical. This is the first paragraph..." " "Butterfly Sleepwalking" has a total of seven sections plus an epilogue. The section played by Qu Jiayue is so exciting and pathos that it should not be included in the first section.
Chang Huanwei was obviously talking about music, but for some reason, Qu Jiayue always felt that the other party seemed to be saying that she was too radical.
"Marshal," Miss Hua looked up at Guan Yubai, her eyes burning, and Fu Fufu said again, "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, can you finish playing the song "Butterfly Sleepwalking"?" If you can complete the score of this piece, , it must be another amazing song.
Who would have thought that before Guan Yubai could say anything, Xiao Yi directly refused: "You can figure out the remaining score for yourself!"
Guan Yubai quickly glanced at his right hand. After just playing this part, his fingertips were already trembling slightly. He put his hands into his sleeves calmly.
Xiao Yi has always been sharp-eyed and had already caught this scene in his eyes. He picked up Xiao Yu carelessly and said, "It's time for the brat to take a nap. Xiao Bai, let's go."
These two were the most well-known figures in southern Xinjiang, and others did not dare to stop them. They respectfully escorted them out of the dining room and watched them leave the teahouse.
Poor little Xiao Yu had no chance to object. By the time he reacted, a room full of delicious food had already left him. He looked at his father pitifully and said, "Dad, cake cake and Guoguo! ”
"Look at your potential!" Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly and spoke rudely, but he went all the way to sweep up all the snacks and snacks in the snack shops on the street. Poor Bamboo naturally He could only obediently help carry the food boxes. In the end, he was almost overwhelmed by the food boxes, attracting funny looks from many people wherever he passed.
Walking and buying along the way extended the journey that originally took less than a stick of incense to half an hour. The little guy was completely satisfied.
By the time the father and son returned to Bixiaotang, the sun had begun to set, and Nangong Yue was redrawing the dowry list for Xiao Fei in the small study.
After learning that Yan Xijun needed to observe filial piety for a year, Xiao Fei came to Nangong Yue and discussed with her whether to go beyond herself and get engaged to her sisters first.
Nangong Yue naturally knew that Xiao Fei's implication was that she was willing to wait for Yan Xijun for a year.
In Nangong Yue's view, a woman must marry once in her life. In fact, as long as she chooses the right person, it doesn't matter whether she marries early or late. In one year, Xiao Fei will be seventeen, the girl who is the most physically and mentally mature girl. A beautiful season is enough to give birth to a healthy child.
For this reason, Nangong Yue specially called Xiao Ronxuan and Xiao Rongying and told them that Xiao Fei's marriage was still being considered, and she was afraid it would be decided later. Both girls said they were in no rush.
Nangong Yue had already expected this. Xiao Rongxuan promised Fang Shilei. It is estimated that Xiao Rongxuan herself hopes to delay it for one more year; Xiao Rongying is not old, so she can wait for another year and talk with the dignity of a princess. When it comes to marriage, she will only be happier.
According to Xiao Yi, these things are nothing at all!
Since the wedding will be a year later, Nangong Yue plans to add more dowry to Xiao Fei on the original basis.
It turns out that the dowry ratio set by the Zhennan Palace is 20,000 taels of silver for the legitimate daughter and 10,000 taels of silver for the concubine. Now Nangong Yue has added another 10,000 taels of silver to each, and is happily adding to the list, preparing to let others Go to Jiangnan to buy some jewelry and new fabrics.
As she lowered her eyes and thought about it, she heard Xiao Yu's clear voice: "Mother!"
Then there was the sound of the curtain being raised, and the little guy rushed in. He hadn’t seen his mother for a long time, he hugged her arm affectionately, and thoughtfully avoided her high posture. High bulge in the abdomen.
After acting coquettishly, he acted like a big brother again, put his ear on her belly, and asked: "Mother, is my sister good today?"
Little Xiao Yu's cute and caring look made Nangong Yue's mouth curl up slightly, and a slight smile formed on her lips.
"My sister is as good as Brother Yu." Nangong Yue coaxed two of them at once, and the little ancestor in her belly seemed quite satisfied and kicked her gently.
The little guy also felt it and shouted excitedly, "Mom, daddy, my sister is saying hello to me!"
Xiao Yi, who followed his son into the house, had a handsome face that was so dark that it was almost dripping with ink. After hearing this, he no longer cared about settling accounts with his son, and couldn't wait to get on Nangong Yue's belly.
Seeing the father and son's heads, one big and one small, pressed against her abdomen, the smile in Nangong Yue's eyes grew stronger.
Unfortunately, the little ancestor in her belly was also naughty, so the father and son waited for a while, but nothing happened again.
However, the little guy was unwilling to give up and insisted on waiting for his sister to play with him again. Nangong Yue had no choice but to sit on the beauty couch beside her and cuddle up to the little guy who was already sleepy but still refused to close her eyes. Be by your side. She patted him regularly, trying to put him to sleep without leaving a trace.
"Where did our brother Yu go to play with his adoptive father today?" Nangong Yue asked with a smile.
"Anxingzhuang..." Xiao Yu yawned while talking about what he saw and heard in Anxingzhuang, talking about veterans, fields, fish ponds... Naturally, he inevitably mentioned the Hui Sir and "rebellious officials and traitors" and so on.
Nangong Yue pursed her lips slightly and frowned.
Of course Xiao Yi, who was leaning on the beauty's couch, also heard it. He still had the same casual expression and said lightly: "Xiao Bai also told me about this just now."
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth curved into a mocking arc, "Everyone is so loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but I have never seen them join the army for Dayu and go into battle to kill the enemy. It seems that the so-called loyalty to the emperor is nothing more than that! There is no such thing as such a person You have to teach bad children until they become pedantic."
Little Xiao Yu looked at his father and then his mother curiously, his eyes narrowed due to sleepiness.
Xiao Yi calmly took advantage of the little guy's yawning to help him adjust his position so that he could nestle in his arms, and patted his back a few times.
After playing for a long time, the little guy finally couldn't resist the call of sleepy bugs and fell asleep snoringly.
Seeing Xiao Yi skillfully coaxing their little guy, Nangong Yue's eyes became softer, like a pool of spring water. She took the small quilt on one side and covered the little guy.
The little guy smelled the familiar smell on the quilt, snorted, pinched a corner of the quilt with satisfaction, and fell asleep deeper.
Nangong Yue gently trimmed the little guy's sideburns behind his ears, and then said, "Ayi, it's not a problem for a person who is black and white and never compromises."
As he spoke, Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and her tone became meaningful, "I'm afraid that some people think they are 'bearing the humiliation' and 'misleading others' by staying in southern Xinjiang."
Originally, the Confucian way of Confucius and Mencius is based on loyalty to the emperor. If someone intends to instill some pedantic and ignorant thoughts into those children who are like blank sheets of paper through teaching, they may be able to do so without being noticed.
Xiao Yi was startled and squinted his eyes thoughtfully. What A Yue said made sense.
"I will discuss this matter with Xiaobai later...it's not a big deal." Xiao Yi said, sitting up, caressing Nangong Yue's cheek with his long fingers, and said lightly, "On the battlefield The people who are fighting for their lives have also come over, but they are just pedantic literati!"
Now that he is on guard, he won't let some people take advantage of him.
Southern Xinjiang is located on the border and has been war-torn for years. Defending the homeland is naturally the top priority. It can be said that for hundreds of years, southern Xinjiang has tended to emphasize military force over culture. Now the situation is stable. In order to " For the long-term development of "Vietnam", they should also carefully consider the issue of "study"!
