Chapter 99
Xiao Beishu's eyes lit up when he saw Fengwei Jiaoqin.The piano case was placed in the middle of the floor, and he walked around it a few times before raising his hand and gently hooking the strings.The jingle sound of the piano is crisp and sweet, flowing like pearls falling on a jade plate, making the listener forget the customs.

Xiao Beishu exclaimed excitedly: "It really is a good piano!"

The old lady is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now when she heard it, she smiled and looked at Ruan Yunting with love in her eyes: "Ting'er is very lucky and capable. She can get such a good piano at a young age." Ruju, what she said is indeed correct, Ruan Yunting's fate is different from others, it is obvious now.

Ruan Yunting already understood at this moment that Xiao Beishu told the old lady about the piano fight that day, and Guiyun Pavilion was a public place, so she didn't expect the matter to be kept secret, but now that she was exposed on the spot, she was still a little caught off guard .She could only smile at the old lady's unabashed admiration and the thorn-like eyes of the third wife and Xu Ningxia.

Xiao Beishu is a person who loves the qin. Now that he sees a good qin, he is naturally itchy. After cleaning his hands and burning incense, he sits in front of the qin and calms down for a moment. The song "Spring Plums Reflecting the Snow" fills his ears.

Ruan Yunting listened quietly, Xiao Beishu's piano skills were superb, no less than Shui Qiuxin, and the pure and thorough timbre of Fengwei Jiaoqin brought the music to the extreme.Ruan Yunting listened intently, and so did the old lady. Xiao Beishu finished talking, and the room was still immersed in silence.

After a while, the old lady seemed to come back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Good piano, good music, good skills!"

Xiao Beishu got up and said: "It really is a good piano. With this piano, Miss Ruan will become even more powerful in Qin art."

The old lady nodded lovingly, the tassels on her temples swayed, reflecting the brilliance on her slightly powdered face, she was extremely noble.Looking at Ruan Yunting, she said, "Ting'er also comes to play a piece, just play the piece that won the piano that day, and let grandma listen to it too."

After the words fell, the smile on the third wife's face visibly froze, and Xu Ningxia couldn't hide her jealousy even more.

Ruan Yunting was keenly aware of this. When she returned to the Jingsi Garden just now, Chanjuan had already said that the third wife might have been reprimanded in the old lady's courtyard before. Combined with the previous few times they framed her, she and Xiao Bei were just at home. When Shu came back together, the third wife's jealous eyes and Xu Ningxia's hurried figure...

Ruan Yunting felt that she had performed enough today, and it was pointless to make enemies because of these things.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunting smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao knows my piano skills, but in fact it is far inferior to Ba Niang. Today, my ancestors are interested and have such a good guqin. Why don't you let Ba Niu play the piano?" It’s also good for me to follow and learn.”

No one expected Ruan Yunting to say that.Not only did she give Xu Ningxia the chance to perform in front of her ancestors, but she also allowed Xu Ningxia to touch her privately owned precious guqin.

The old lady was surprised, the third wife was astonished, Xu Ningxia stood up in surprise, Xiao Beishu sized Ruan Yunting up and down with probing eyes, and then smiled knowingly.Ruan Yunting also smiled back.

The old lady has been working in the deep house for so many years, and she can almost see through the little things without paying attention. She knows the mentality of the third wife, mother and daughter at the moment, and it is unexpected that Ruan Yunting is so magnanimous. At such a young age, he actually knew how to make concessions to maintain the harmony of the family.

The old lady loved Ruan Yunting a little more in her heart.

The third wife and Xu Ningxia did not think deeply about the old lady's thoughts, but were delighted to have an extra opportunity to express themselves.Since Xu Ningxia entrusted the door to enter Fengxian Academy, the old lady had a lot of opinions on the third wife. In addition, Ruan Yunting replaced Xu Ningxia to dance the "Flourishing Age" dance, and the third room never raised her head. opportunity.

Xu Ningxia bowed her knees and saluted, walked quickly to the piano stage, and played the best "Yi Chunliu" after a little thought.

The melody of this song is soothing and the artistic conception is far away.Compared with the previous "Spring Plums Reflecting Snow" played by Xiao Beishu, it is a little more calm and less cheerful.After all, Xu Ningxia was young, and she was even more unstable due to her eagerness to perform and unstable temperament.Although the playing skills are good, the artistic conception of the piece has not been fully displayed.

After playing the song, Xu Ningxia stood up and saluted, her pretty face flushed with excitement.Looking hopefully at the old lady and Xiao Beishu, he seemed like a child eager to be praised.

The old lady smiled and asked Xiao Beishu: "Brother Bei, you are Xia'er's teacher, and you know her piano skills best, so let's talk about it."

Let him do things that offend others?Xiao Beishu touched his nose, smiled casually, and said, "The eighth girl has improved in her piano skills."

Xu Ningxia was overjoyed.

Xiao Beishu said again: "But maybe the girl is a little anxious, and her playing is a little impetuous. For the skill of calming the mind, the girl needs to practice more."

"Yes." Xu Ningxia was already very happy to be praised by Xiao Beishu, so she didn't think about the latter sentence.He saluted with a smile, and smiled sweetly at the old lady when he looked up.

The third wife is an adult after all, Xiao Beishu pointed out Xu Ningxia's flaws in her temper in a few words, but her daughter took the criticism as a tonic, and the third wife is now blushing.

Not long after it came time to set the meal, the old lady entertained Xiao Beishu with a meal, and the third wife, Xu Ningxia and Ruan Yunting also stayed together.

The phoenix-tailed Jiaoqin was put back into the piano bag, and the old lady ordered the maid, Huamei, to take her back to the Jingsi Garden carefully.

Ruan Yunting didn't eat herself, but served the old lady with dishes.Seeing this, Xu Ningxia and the third wife were both disdainful.The reason why Ruan Shuzi pleases the old lady now is not because she can flatter her.Looking at his humble appearance makes him angry.

"Master Ying, don't drink anymore, you've had enough to drink today." Jun Lanzhou snatched the jug from Jun Zhaoying's hand and put it down, frowned helplessly and said, "What's the matter, tell me, I It’s better to think of a way. What’s the use of drinking here.”

Jun Zhaoying was lying on the table drunk, but her mind was still clear. Thinking of Ruan Yunting's touch and the tangy fragrance when she was in her arms today, she felt itchy and unbearable. Thinking about him asking her if she liked Uncle Jun At that time, her complex eyes, his heart, seemed to be drawn out with a knife.

"Tell me, Lan Zhou, which woman do I care about as much as I do for her. Huan'er Peier, the head of the mansion, has been serving the Lord for a while. Even if they are all people in my house, I haven't treated them that well. But it’s her, I chased after her all day, but she treats me like a fart!” After saying that, he picked up the jug angrily, and took another sip: “If she likes big brother, I’ll make him happy! I’m afraid she will regret!"

"Master Ying, you are so excited." Jun Lanzhou sighed, Ruan Yunting really has a great ability to make Jun Zhaoying, who has always been carefree, drunk with love.

"I'm excited? I'm already, I'm not excited anymore!" Jun Zhaoying's voice became louder.

Jun Lanzhou hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Keep your voice down, if Madam finds out, she will reprimand you again. Here, do you really give up Miss Ruan?"

"Give up? Of course not." Jun Zhaoying's voice was still loud.

Jun Lanzhou said helplessly: "Your big commotion really provoked the master and madam. Knowing that it was Miss Ruan who put you in such a mess, before entering the house, Miss Ruan's impression in the hearts of her parents-in-law was greatly reduced."

"That's right, it seems to be true."

"So you go to the clean room and take a good shower. I have ordered someone to prepare hot tea for you to hangover. But don't let the master get angry again. Your more than 50 times of "Tao Te Ching" and [-] times of family rules are still there. I haven't finished copying it, so there can be no more."

"Yes, Lanzhou, you are right." Jun Zhaoying stood up and shook, walked a few steps and turned around, grinning at Jun Lanzhou: "It's really my good brother, or you Thoughtful."

Jun Lanzhou cleaned up the cups, trays and teacups on the table, raised her head and smiled back: "Go quickly."

Jun Lanzhou didn't stop until Jun Zhaoying entered the clean room, and his eyes showed worry.Fang Caijun called Yingying back to the mansion, first he rushed to Xiuningju to find the uncle, but he didn't know what he said, the uncle was very angry, and he himself came back full of anger.Now it seems that Jun Zhaoying shouldn't just say something like "Ruan Yunting likes Jun Zhaoyan" in a daze, otherwise there will be big troubles.

The weather was hot in August, and the rehearsal of "The Great and the Frightened" has been moved into the main hall.Otherwise, the girls are like delicate flowers, which will fail if they don't bloom for two days under the scorching sun.

They practiced together again, and when it was over, Nanny Zhen, who had been watching for a long time, walked up to her and said loudly, "Tomorrow is the Moon Festival. Ladies, after preparing for so long, it's finally time to show off your strengths. Tomorrow What you carry is not only your own face, but also the face of your family, as well as the face of our Fengxian Academy. So girls, there must be no mistakes in the rules and etiquette. After practicing for so long, you should not be able to There is a problem. In the palace, you can't help but make mistakes, but you all know?"

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Mother Zhen."

"Also, just now, Master Zheng ordered people to come, saying that tomorrow the envoys of Xiwu Kingdom will come to the palace to face the saint. Your dance will also be watched by the envoys of Xiwu Kingdom, so don't disgrace us Daliang Kingdom. If anyone makes half a mistake, you will know the consequences when the time comes."

The nine people looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts were raised, and they responded one after another.

Daliang State is adjacent to Xiwu State on the west side, and Nanchu State on the south side.Xiwu and Daliang have been friends for many years. Although they always love to compete with each other on the surface, Ke is generally a brother and neighbor.This time, the Grand Dance of the Moon Festival is more important than usual.

Mother Zhen ordered the crowd to disperse, Ruan Yunting left the hall with the crowd, but saw Han Su standing not far away in a bright red gown.

"Wen Yuan."

"Are you ready to dance?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen you these days, where have you been?" Her jade pendant had been broken for so long, and she didn't find a chance to speak frankly with Han Su, because he was always absent recently.

Han Su said: "The envoys of the Xiwu Kingdom will arrive tomorrow. The emperor ordered some people from the university department of our academy to prepare well for this year's competition in the Xiwu Kingdom. Why, have you visited me?"
