Chapter 133 Qin Art(1/2)

The conversation between Yan Min'er and Mrs. Yan was heard by a woman in green on the other side. The woman was younger and more beautiful and delicate than Yan Min'er. She asked: "I heard that Mrs. Qiao's wife is a famous talented woman in Huzhou. I wonder if she was born well?"

Yan Min'er smiled and said inexplicably: "Even a famous talented woman, she is not as good as A Xiu in our Jiyang."

Ling Xiu is the beloved daughter of Ling Dianyi, the Dianbu Hall of the Royal Palace. She was able to write poetry at the age of five and was famous at the age of seven. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is still weak and beautiful. In Jiyang City, where most women are beautiful and stingy, she is really unique. I heard that a talented woman came from Huzhou and became comparative.

On the other side, a girl covered her mouth and sneered: "Why did Axiu have to compare with the merchant's wife? She has no ability to reduce her identity? It's not certain that the name of a talented woman is a lie, but she just adds a layer of golden clothes to herself."

Ling Xiu also smiled: "If Mr. Qiao really stayed in Jiyang, he would no longer be a merchant in the future."

"A merchant is a merchant. The smell of money is soaked in his bones. It cannot be covered by changing clothes." Yan Min'er said in a contemptuous tone, "After all, it is difficult to be a place of elegance."

The girls laughed and said, "Cui Zhong has arrived!"

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking from the end of the long pavilion by the lake. The man was round and straight, with a wide body, looking a little honest and smiling, as if Maitreya Buddha was wearing a black martial arts suit and energetic. When he reached the entrance of the pavilion, he handed the spear in his hand to his subordinates and said with a smile: "Everyone has arrived."

Everyone hurriedly got up and returned the gift to Cui Yuezhi.

Cui Yuezhi was in Jiyang, and he was more than ten thousand people. Therefore, both inside and outside the palace wanted to sell him this face. Cui Yuezhi turned around and asked Zhong Fu: "Have Huanqing and the others arrived?"

"I have sent someone to invite you." Zhong Fu smiled and said, "It should be here soon."

Yesterday, Cui Yuezhi was discussing with the princess in the palace. He accidentally drank a few more drinks and stayed in the palace. He continued to quarrel with the group of old stubborn people in the morning, and he still hadn't seen this nephew yet. He touched his chin and said, "I don't know how my nephew gave birth to? Does it look like my elder brother? How similar is it to me?"

Zhong Fu wanted to speak but stopped. To be honest, that Mr. Qiao had nothing similar to the Cui family except gender.

"That child was raised in a merchant's house," Cui Yuezhi was a little worried. "Although I don't mind these, these nobles in the city value their identities the most and only hope that they don't underestimate themselves."

Zhong Fu still had to speak. At the end of the Changting, a servant of the Cui family came over and said, "Mr. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao has arrived--"

Everyone subconsciously looked up.

But at the end of the long pavilion, two people walked side by side by side. One man and the other were very young. The man was very tall, tall and straight as jade, wearing a dark green embroidered black golden python brocade robe, very elegant, with a blue and jade-like hair tied up with a green jade hairpin, delicate and bright eyebrows and eyes, and a gorgeous and beautiful appearance, but he looked a little cold. The woman standing beside him was smiling and bright, and she didn't know what material she was wearing. She looked at it as ordinary white as she walked around, and she showed some blue, purple, gold and pink, like a dream, and was very charming.

Both of them had excellent appearance and demeanor, and they were in a strange way. They stood together and felt indescribable. For a moment, everyone in the pavilion was stunned.

Is this a businessman born in a businessman and full of stinking money?

Can a businessman have such an extraordinary temperament?

Cui Yuezhi was also stunned. Is this his eldest brother's son?

His elder brother looks seventy-seven points like him. Not to mention being handsome, it is difficult to achieve the word slim just. This... is a bit too beautiful.

Yan Min'er was stunned, and suddenly her face became extremely ugly. She knew these two people, the woman, the one who was embarrassed and suffered losses in the Xiuluofang that day, the man... was the one who scoffed at her with too dark skin. After she returned home, she could not swallow her breath. Unexpectedly, these two people were the nephew and niece-in-law that Cui Yuezhi found.

She was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.

Ling Xiu's eyes fell on Xiao Jue, and he was a little confused and murmured: "There is such a beautiful man in the world..."

Jiyang is different from Shuojing. The heroine is beautiful and fierce, and the man is masculine and brave, and it is probably precious. Just as a talented woman like Ling Xiu is very popular in Jiyang. A man with a handsome and elegant appearance like Xiao Jue is really rare. When all the unmarried female relatives stared at him like a wolf staring at him like a flesh.

He Yan also noticed these fierce gazes and cursed in his heart. Xiao Jue's face really attracted bees and butterflies everywhere.

Lin Shuanghe followed behind them. At first, everyone thought he was Xiao Jue's relative or friend, but when they later found out that he was the housekeeper, they were also shocked.

I probably didn't expect that the conditions for being a housekeeper in Huzhou would be so harsh.

Cui Yuezhi arranged for Xiao Jue and He Yan to enter the table and sat down on the right side of his long mat.

"Huanqing," Cui Yuezhi looked at him with a smile, "I really didn't expect that you could look so beautiful."

It really gives the Cui family a very good face. No one in Jiyang City is more outstanding than the young man in front of him. Cui Yuezhi was ridiculed as a "ball" behind his back in his early years. He was vulgar and obese. Before Qiao Huanqing came back, he heard rumors in Jiyang City, waiting to see an extra "little fat ball". Who knows... it's so long!

The Cui family will avenge their previous shame, okay!

Xiao Jue nodded calmly.

Cui Yuezhi's eyes fell on He Yan again and said with a smile: "The niece-in-law looks young, how old is this year?"

He Yan said: "It's almost seventeen."

"Seventeen is good." Cui Yuezhi's more satisfied with He Yan's view, he is more beautiful. His nephew and niece-in-law both have a good-looking appearance. In the future, the bloodline of the Cui family must be better than that of the next generation. Thinking of this, he was very pleased and even wanted to go to the ancestral hall to sing two incense sticks of fortification for his elder brother. It is indeed God's blessing.

"Today's banquet in the middle of the lake is to specially welcome you two." Cui Yuezhi said with a smile: "I think it's okay?"

Xiao Jue said: "Very good, thank you uncle."

This "uncle" immediately pleased Cui Yuezhi. His face was about to laugh, and he said to everyone: "You can see that this is the only seed of my dead brother, my nephew of Cui!"

The guests immediately raised their glasses and praised them for their "extraordinary appearance" and "deep elegant people". They also congratulated Cui Yue's family on their reunion, and so on.

Cui Yuezhi became happier and asked his servants to cook the dishes and the banquet began.

Jiyang does not have the habit of different tables for men and women, and the length is divided into seats according to others. Cui Yuezhi asked Xiao Jue in detail many things related to these years, and as he talked about it, he talked about He Yan.

"I heard that my nephew and niece-in-law have just gotten married soon?"

"I got married in Huzhou in October last year." Xiao Jue said lightly: "It's less than half a year."

Cui Yuezhi said "Oh" and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes." He patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder: "If I could see you getting married with my own eyes, I would have died without regrets."

"What does the niece-in-law do at home?" Cui Yuezhi asked, "Huzhou is too far from Jiyang, and many things are difficult to find out."

He Yan replied as he had previously explained: "Yuyan is just an ordinary family, thanks to the young master's attention."

"Ordinary family?" The people in the seat looked different. This is a commoner family. People always think that although Qiao Huanqing was born in a businessman, he was considered a wealthy person. He had money to make the devil beat him. Moreover, he had such an outstanding child. If he married a daughter of a small official, he would be more than enough. But if he married an ordinary family like Wen Yuyan, he had no money or power. Why? If he valued Wen Yuyan's beauty, he would be fine to be a concubine, so why should he be a wife?

The girls immediately looked at He Yan with a few hints of envy and jealousy.

Ling Xiu's eyes turned slightly and fell on Xiao Jue's face. The young man was already handsome and handsome. He sat lazily at this moment, but because of the sometimes indifferent indifference, he became more and more itchy, and he compared all the men in Jiyang.

She looked at He Yan again, but she was just an ordinary family's daughter. In terms of appearance and identity, how could she be as good as herself? A little unwilling to accept her heart. Wen Yuyan was not worthy of Qiao Huanqing at all. Only herself should stand side by side with Qiao Huanqing.

She stood up and said softly: "Today, Lord Cui is a good thing worth celebrating when he finds his family. A Xiu is not talented and is willing to present a song to Lord Cui to express his congratulations." After that, his eyes flashed across Xiao Jue, showing a shy smile.

The young men in the table were overjoyed when they heard this, and their eyes were staring at Ling Xiu with burning eyes.

The girl in Jiyang City has always been bold, confident and bright. If she has outstanding talents, she will not be embarrassed to show herself in front of everyone. However, Ling Xiu is different from everyone and never likes to show herself on her own initiative. Even at a banquet, she has to push back and forth, and she will agree in desperation.

This is the first time she is so proactive today, and it is her best piano skills, which makes people look forward to it.

Cui Yuezhi was also very happy and waved his hand: "Okay! A Xiu also opened our eyes today. If you play well, uncle will give you a big gift!"

Lord Ling and Mrs. Ling smiled. They were no longer surprised that such glorious things were happening. After all, the entire Jiyang City knew that Ling Xiu was unparalleled in talent and appearance.

The servant quickly received a piano.

The piano is also green, like the grass and trees in spring, green and verdant. She is wearing a light green gauze dress, just like the charm of spring. Her fingers are slender, her incense is burning and bathing her hands, gently plucking the strings.

She played "Late Spring".

The spring breeze is arrogant in Wulinger. In March of West Lake, the orchestra touches the water, the warblers and flowers markets. I don’t know that the sound is not here. It is suitable to sing, wine and poetry. The mountains are frowning, and the willows are dragging smoke and shining on their temples...

The sound of the piano is pleasant, and it brushes through people's ears, making people intoxicated. He Yan is the same. He only thinks that this girl's hands are really clever. Comparing the movements of her plucking the piano, she can break the strings by accident, and don't use lifting to play a complete song.

It's really amazing.

She was intoxicated when she glanced at her, but saw that Xiao Jue was not moved at all, and she only lowered her head to drink tea. She couldn't help but touch him and whispered: "Why don't you listen?"

Xiao Jue: "I'm listening."

"Then why didn't you show a good look?"

"What does it sound good?"

He Yan nodded to the other end, "Just like them."

Some of the young men here, even some older young men, were staring at Ling Xiu in a daze, as if they were about to drown in the sound of the piano, and their eyes flashed with admiration. Xiao Jue withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "Bored."

"You are really hard to serve." He Yan murmured in a low voice, "I think it sounds pretty. She looks good too. If I could meet such a girl, I would be very happy?"

"I'm so happy?" Xiao Jue suddenly laughed, looked at her, and said with great interest: "I hope you can be as happy in the future."

He Yan didn't understand what he meant, so he just said, "I will naturally be happy next."

Ling Xiu had already finished talking with a song and looked at Xiao Jue, but saw Xiao Jue tilting his head to talk to He Yan, with the corners of his lips curled, as if he was joking. Ling Xiu felt a sank in his heart when he saw this scene and became more and more unwilling to accept it.

She stood up, and everyone around her praised her. Cui Yuezhi also smiled and said, "A Xiu, your piano is lingering in the lingering sound, three, no, nine days!"

No one would deny her piano sound. Ling Xiu looked at Xiao Jue again, but when he saw the young man bowing his head to drink tea, he never looked at her. However, the "Wen Yuyan" beside him looked at him with a smile, as if mocking.

Ling Xiu's smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff, but in a moment, she said humbly: "How dare A Xiu show off her skills? I heard that Mrs. Qiao from Huzhou is a famous local talented woman. Her piano skills are superb. Since I have the fate to be here today, can A Xiu also see it?" After that, she stared at He Yan expectantly, "Let everyone see how exquisite the wife's piano skills are."

He Yan was just watching it happily, and was stunned when he heard this. Why did he suddenly mention her? Wen Yuyan’s qin art is superb? Is she? Why didn’t she know?

He Yan looked at Lin Shuanghe like a request for help. This was her husband. Lin Shuanghe didn't start as if nothing had happened, pretending to talk to the people around him, but he did not want to help her again.

"I think... there is no need..." He Yan said, "Miss Axiu's piano skills are already very good, and I don't have to do this again."

"How can you say that you are unnecessary?" Ling Xiu looked at He Yan sincerely, "A Xiu really wants to listen to the sound of his wife's piano."

He Yan: "..."

Her piano sound? Her piano sound can drive away evil spirits and save the house, not for appreciation!

When Ling Xiu saw He Yan's face showing a difficult look, she couldn't help but feel proud. Thinking about Wen Yuyan's talent that she had heard before, it was a guise. If she could make her look ugly in front of everyone today, that would be a joke in Jiyang City.

Yan Min'er, who has always been facing the wheat horn with Ling Xiu, couldn't help but gloat when she saw this. Before, in Xiuluo Fangli, although it was a sarcastic word that Xiao Jue said, Yan Min'er settled the account on He Yan's head. Most of the woman who was loved by such an excellent man always seemed particularly eye-catching, especially when she didn't look special, which made people feel even more unworthy of her name.

He Yan looked at Xiao Jue beside him. Xiao Jue was drinking tea slowly, his expression was calm and gentle.

No wonder he just said, "I hope you will be as happy next time." He had guessed that this scene would happen long ago? How did he know? Such strange thoughts are unpredictable, but Xiao Jue could tell? Is there any mind reading technique? He Yan murmured in his heart, reached under the table, secretly pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "Can you help me?"

Xiao Jue said calmly: "Didn't you learn it?"
