Chapter 80
After a long time, the Second Mistress smiled and said: "I heard that my younger sister Jiumei is very good at playing the piano. Now that I have drank my good tea, I will play a piece. This is all a gift."

heard?Who did you listen to?Ruoxi wondered in her heart, she hadn't played the piano a few times since she traveled through time.

Before she could refuse, Second Grandma took off the piano and put it on the desk, and made a gesture of invitation to Ruoxi.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself!" Ruoxi had no choice but to sit down.

After thinking about it for a while, I played the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". Teresa Teng's "I hope you will last forever" used this poem as the lyrics. It was Ruoxi's favorite back then and never tired of listening to it.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it? The sound of the piano, she sang softly.

The second grandma listened to the sound of the piano and savored the artistic conception of the words carefully, and she was a little crazy when she heard the last two sentences.

"I wish you a long life, and a thousand miles away!" She chanted in a low voice, and after a while she came to her senses, looking at Ruoxi with a sense of sympathy in her eyes.

"No wonder..." She murmured two words vaguely and stopped, "Your sister made this melody and lyrics?" She removed the "nine" and directly called Ruoxi her younger sister.

"How can I be so talented? I read it from a miscellaneous book, and I just edited it a little bit." She said it with a guilty conscience, but she couldn't tell the truth.

After hearing this, Second Grandma walked quickly to the desk, picked up a brush and began to write.After a while she put down the pen, blew on the paper and picked it up, "Sister, come over and have a look, is this score right?"

Fortunately, Ruoxi studied ancient music when she was a child, otherwise she really wouldn't understand this Gongshangjiao Zhengyu.Unexpectedly, this second grandmother is a master of rhythm, and she can compose the score exactly after listening to it only once.

"I didn't memorize all the songs my sister sang, please ask my sister to write it down for me." She handed over the pen, rolled up her sleeves and polished it herself.

Ruoxi hurriedly took it, and added lyrics under the tune.She has a good hand in lower script, and she is a bit free and easy in her femininity.

"It's really a good word, but it's a pity that I don't know who wrote it. Especially the last two sentences, it makes people feel at home." Second Mistress read while reading.

As soon as I put down my pen here, a little girl outside invited the two of them to a table in the garden.After hearing this, Second Grandma felt a little unsatisfied, she ordered the girl to fetch water for the two to clean their hands, and then she took Ruoxi to the garden.

She smiled and said as she walked: "My sister is very good at poetry and prose, let's have a good discussion when I have time."

"I don't dare to take the word 'good'. It's just that I can make a sentence or two after reading two books." Ruoxi didn't intend to show off, but today she was playing chess, playing the piano, and writing one by one. Unsatisfied, I want to make myself a poem again.

The second grandmother heard the words but looked at her and said: "Mei Xu is three points less white than snow, but snow is less fragrant than Mei. Isn't it my sister's fault? I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and when I looked back, the man was there, in a dimly lit place! Didn’t it come from my younger sister? Although my younger sister never leaves home, this beautiful line in the boudoir is well-known in the capital. How many people wrote these lines on the fans, and the more they recite, the more they feel that this is a good line through the ages !"

Ruoxi was startled when she heard the words, she didn't want to make such a show.What's more, it's not decent for a big girl in the inner courtyard of a deep house to write poems on a fan day and night by men who don't know any virtue!

The second mistress seemed to see her displeasure, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about your own reputation. Outsiders say that people who can write such quatrains must be icy-hearted and pure. It's too late for them to admire, so how could they do anything to defile you?" For example? What I can’t forget are only poems, which are all done by some literati, so it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t hurt the elegance!”

Ruoxi felt much more comfortable after hearing this, and just as she was about to reply, she saw a girl coming towards her, saying that the banquet had already started and asked them to hurry over.

When I entered the garden, I saw that almost all the guests were seated, the maids and mothers-in-law shuttled back and forth without any panic and chaos, which shows that the Liu family has very strict family rules on weekdays.

Ruoxi saw her seventh sister, Ruo Ting, sitting beside that Mrs. Wang, and they seemed to be chatting very congenially.She found her tenth younger sister Ruomiao in the crowd, but she was stopped by the second grandmother when she wanted to go there.

"Come to the table with me." Second Mistress dragged her to sit at the table below the main table, which was full of unfamiliar faces.She knew she couldn't refute the second grandma's love, so she nodded and smiled slightly at everyone, as a greeting.

"Don't sit down yet." The second grandma asked her to sit next to her, and said with a smile: "This is my father-in-law's cousin, sister Ruoxi, the ninth girl of the Han family." After finishing speaking, she introduced the other things on the table to Ruoxi. people.

The round-faced and friendly one is the sister-in-law of the eldest grandma of the Liu family, sitting next to Mrs. Liu's nephew and daughter-in-law, opposite is the second grandma's natal sister-in-law, and a fragile Lin Daiyu-type woman.

She frowned, and there was a slight sadness in her eyes. From time to time, she turned her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, as if she was very uncomfortable.The rose red all over her body made her pale. The clothes were not fat but looked loose on her body.

"Don't you always recite those lines of poems? Today I brought you the poetess!" The second grandma smiled and said to her: "My cousin is in good health these days. It just so happens that my nephew was born. Meeting today can be regarded as arranged by God."

Ruoxi became embarrassed when she heard the second grandma call herself a "female poet". After thinking about her words for a while, she knew that this crooked grandma should be Ding Bohou's second daughter-in-law.I heard that this second grandmother has been ill all year round, and she would lie in bed for a few days when she saw the wind, but she didn't expect to come here today.Speaking of which, she is still Ruoying's sister-in-law, by the way, why not see Ruoying?Could it be that he couldn't come because he was a concubine?
"So this is Miss Nine. It seems that I really didn't come here in vain! Cough cough!" Second Grandma Lin stared at Ruoxi, and coughed after saying a word.

A mother in her forties came up from behind, and while stroking her back, she whispered: "Grandma has something to say slowly, didn't the doctor tell grandma not to be sad or happy?" After saying that, she glanced at Ruoxi.

Seeing this, Ruoxi understood her subtext, isn't she just a concubine of a seventh-rank official, how could she be so excited by the dignified Second Mistress of the Lin Family?
The second grandma of the Lin family was a little excited when she saw Ruoxi, and the mother behind her was very worried when she saw this.Originally, Second Grandma's body was going from good to bad, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was mainly for maintenance, so it was probably unable to recover.Lin Yixuan and the maids and mothers who waited on her around her knew the details, so they waited more carefully on weekdays.

This time there was a happy event in Liu's residence, she felt that she was in good spirits and came here.Lin Yixuan understood that she only had one or two years to live, as long as her body could bear it, she could be happy with her.

She didn't expect the relationship between Second Mistress and Ruoxi to be so good, and the girl who wrote those poems like paintings was right in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but look carefully.
