farm concubine

Chapter 92
Seeing Li Wanqing's little face flushed from coughing, Aunt Yun's eyes flashed a smile, she leaned over and gently patted Li Wanqing's back, teasing, "Auntie knows you like studying very much, so don't be so excited."

Li Wanqing hasn't stopped coughing yet, is she excited?She was only surprised.

Without giving Li Wanqing a chance to speak, Aunt Yun continued to urge: "Okay, hurry up and have breakfast, let's start the class. Today Auntie will teach you the piano, which Auntie is best at." In front of the Wen Mansion, she was the number one oiran in the 'Smoke and Cloud Pavilion', playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting as well as those daughters of everyone.

"Do you still want to learn the piano?" Li Wanqing, who just stopped coughing, was shocked when she heard that Aunt Yun wanted her to learn Yaoqin. She knew this Yaoqin, which is another name for Guqin, but she only had a dozen or so. I am going to get married in ten days, can I learn it in ten days?
"Yes, you married Jiang Shangshu's first daughter-in-law, and you are going to attend the banquet in the palace. How can you not know how to play the piano?" Aunt Yun took it for granted.

Li Qingting heard for the first time that the surname she was going to marry was Jiang, and she immediately became interested: "Auntie, do you know the name of the person I'm going to marry is Jiang?"

"Well, I know, what's the matter, don't you know?" Aunt Yun looked surprised, and Wen Yifang often talked about the Jiang family in front of her.

And she also knows everything about the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, and she is going to tell Li Wanqing everything she knows about the Jiang Mansion today, so that she can be prepared in her heart so that she won't be overwhelmed by then measures.

"I don't know, that man didn't tell me, and I don't know who to ask." She dared to guarantee that even if she asked Wen Yifang, he would not tell her the truth, and it was even more impossible for her to believe the servants in the mansion. .

Concubine Yun is the only person in Wen's mansion who wants to have a relationship with her. She believes that Concubine Yun wants to befriend her. Even if what Concubine Yun says is not 100% true, it is [-]% true.

Hearing what Li Wanqing said, Aunt Yun's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I just listened to what the master said. I heard from the master that Jiang Shangshu took the scientific examination one year later than the master, and Jiang Shangshu had the help of the master before he made a fortune. Without thanking the master for his help, Jiang Shangshu, who was still a candidate at the time, made a baby marriage with the master. At that time, Jiang Shangshu's son was already a seven-year-old boy, and his wife was also eight months pregnant. The master was very optimistic about Jiang Shangshu at that time. Then he readily agreed, the master really didn't miss it, Jiang Shangshu's high school Tanhualang was better than the master in the exam."

Aunt Yun felt that her mouth was dry, and continued after drinking a sip of tea: "Jiang Shangshu asked to post a letter after staying in the Imperial Academy for half a year, starting from Qipin County Magistrate, all the way through the ranks, and it took eight years to complete the present work. I don’t know if Jiang Shangshu’s fortune is too fast in the future. His eldest son has often been ill since he was 15 years old. There are good times and bad times. Jiang Shangshu came to propose marriage to the master, but the master declined on the grounds that the young lady was young, and the young lady came to propose marriage before the Jiang family, which aroused the suspicion of the master, so the master sent someone to inquire, only to find out that Jiang Shangshu wanted to marry him. Marry the young lady back to his eldest son Chongxi, hoping that his eldest son will be happy, Madam would not be willing after knowing it, but the Jiang family kept pressing, the master was forced to think of marrying on behalf of others."

"But I was afraid that the Jiang family would not be willing, so in the end my wife persuaded me. My wife said that the eldest son of the Jiang family was seriously ill. I don't know if this Chongxi will succeed. If it doesn't work, find a woman of marriageable age to marry and say Maybe you can still leave a son for the Jiang family's son, and the young lady is only 11 years old, so you can't leave a son for the Jiang family's eldest son. In terms of son and face, Madam believes that the Jiang family will definitely choose a son. But let other The woman was not reconciled to marrying the master, he didn't want to miss the big tree of the Jiang family, so after thinking about it, he remembered the woman he had a relationship with before he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he spent a lot of effort to find out. I went to your mother's place and found out that the date of your birth does not match the date of your mother's marriage, so I set my mind on you."

"But he can't be sure that you must be his own. He secretly sent people to follow you, and secretly found the woman who gave birth to you at that time. After many proofs, he finally decided that you were his own. With your mother and your father's words, the master's doubts are completely dispelled, and you are allowed to marry on his behalf, so that he can marry the Jiang family immediately and leave a child for the Jiang family, killing two birds with one stone."

The more Li Wanqing heard it, the wider her eyes opened. Wen Yifang was cheating on her parents. Li Rulin and his wife are too honest. They are not the opponents of Wen Yifang. Before even starting to fight, he lost to Wen Yifang in heart.

After expressing emotion, Li Wanqing asked doubtfully: "Auntie, why did you tell me this?" Normally, Aunt Yun shouldn't have told her such a confidential matter. Isn't Aunt Yun afraid that she will leave after knowing the truth?
"My aunt knows that you are a child with your own opinions. My aunt just hopes that you will be prepared in your heart, so that you won't be overwhelmed when something happens."

Indeed, Li Wanqing nodded again and again. She wished that the eldest son of the Jiang family would go to see King Yan right now, so that she would not have to marry on her behalf. She couldn't be blamed for being vicious. The Jiang family knew that their son was seriously ill, and Jiang Peiwen was just an 11-year-old. A little girl who is [-] years old, but she still wants to urge her to marry, is not a good bird. Since she is not a good bird, she does not need to sympathize.

"Auntie, I owe you two favors, and I will pay you back, but that doesn't mean I have forgiven you." She is a person with clear grievances, and will not let her forget Aunt Yun just because she is kind to her. For her deception, she is a person who is very good at holding grudges, and she does not have the great heart of Jesus, so she can easily forgive other people's deception.

"Qing'er, Auntie really treats you as her own child to tell you this." Hearing that Li Wanqing and her were so clearly separated, Auntie Yun felt a bitterness in her heart, and she said that she could not live with her own crimes, but now she deeply understands it .

Li Wanqing didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so she changed the subject: "Didn't Auntie say she wanted to teach me how to play the piano? Let's start."

"Okay, Auntie will go back and get the piano and teach it in your room."

"it is good."

Concubine Yun's room was not far from the West Wing, and soon Concubine Yun came over with Yaoqin, and the bowls and chopsticks in front of Li Wanqing were also taken away by the nurse guarding the yard.

Looking at the Yaoqin brought by Aunt Yun, Li Wanqing couldn't help but sigh how good it is. The Yaoqin in Aunt Yun's hand is a lyre with a beautiful shape. Li Wanqing is looking forward to whether the sound of this piano is as beautiful as its shape.

Aunt Yun was not in a hurry to play the piano, but first explained to Li Wanqing the timbre, technique and how to read the piano score. This lecture lasted for most of the day. Except for lunch time, Aunt Yun was talking about the knowledge related to the piano. Hearing this, Li Wanqing was drowsy, and she couldn't hear Aunt Yun playing the piano until she went to bed. With regret, Li Wanqing fell asleep.

On the second day, after Li Wanqing had finished her breakfast, Aunt Yun came over again with her Yaoqin. Li Wanqing wanted to hear Aunt Yun play the piano very much, so she was very excited. Sure enough, Aunt Yun put the piano away and said, "Today Auntie will play a song." Qing'er has to listen carefully to the little song."

"Yeah." Li Wanqing nodded heavily, as long as she doesn't play, it's fine.

At the sound of 'ding', Aunt Yun is playing a folk tune, the tune is lively and cheerful, and the sound of the piano is far away like the meaning of the sounds of nature. Soon Li Wanqing is intoxicated by it, and even Aunt Yun stops playing without knowing it, don't be autistic He rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Seeing Li Wanqing's reaction, Aunt Yun was very satisfied. She thought back then that she had captured Wen Yifang's heart with just one song with her superb piano skills, and made him redeem her on the spot.

"Qing'er, it's your turn." Aunt Yun pursed her lips and said softly.

"Ah?" The artistic conception was interrupted suddenly, Li Wanqing opened her eyes and looked at Aunt Yun blankly.

"Qing'er, come, Auntie will teach you techniques." Aunt Yun smiled and waved to Li Wanqing.

Uh, I really want her to learn. Li Wanqing suddenly looked miserable, and said pitifully: "Auntie, didn't you say that the eldest son of the Jiang family is seriously ill? Since he is seriously ill, I don't think it is possible for me to participate. What about palace banquets, you don’t need to learn this piano.” After speaking, she looked at Yaoqin in front of Aunt Yun with a frightened expression.

"No, even if you don't participate in the palace banquet, the Jiang Mansion will hold a banquet for the wives of the officials. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, how can you not know how to play the piano? Come quickly."

Seeing Concubine Yun pull down her charming face, and thinking that Concubine Yun had helped her, Li Wanqing walked over with a bitter face.

"Come on, put your fingers like this, that's right..." As soon as Li Wanqing sat down, Aunt Yun held Li Wanqing's hand and placed it on the strings.

For three days in a row, Aunt Yun taught Li Wanqing to play the piano, but Li Wanqing did not improve for three consecutive days, just like what she learned on the first day, the magic sound pierced her ears. After Li Wanqing was tortured, she ran outside for 'refuge', but Aunt Yun's maid, Nanny, did not step into the courtyard of the West Wing Room on the second day. Although she still couldn't escape the pain of being pierced by the magic sound outside the courtyard, It's better than being in the yard.

On the afternoon of the third day, Aunt Yun finally announced that she would give up Li Wanqing's piano learning, and she would teach Li Wanqing Go instead. Li Wanqing can't turn chess, but she can play chess and military chess.

"Auntie, I know one kind of chess is more fun than this kind of chess." Li Wanqing said with a smile.

"Oh? What chess? Qing'er, let me hear it?" Hearing Li Wanqing say that the chess she knows is more fun than go, Aunt Yun suddenly became interested.

"Auntie, bring your pen and ink." Speaking of chess, which she likes, Li Wanqing beamed with joy.

"Okay." Aunt Yun told her maid to go back and get a pen and ink.

After the brush and ink were brought, Li Wanqing quickly drew the appearance of the chess and the chessboard: "Auntie, follow my drawing and find a carpenter to make it."

Seeing that Li Wanqing could not only draw the appearance of chess, but also write, Aunt Yun asked in surprise, "Qing'er, can you write?"

Hearing Aunt Yun's surprised words, Li Wanqing finally realized that she was so complacent that she accidentally revealed her secrets.

"Well, when I was 12 years old, a beggar came to the village. I saw him pitiful, so I gave him steamed buns every day. He taught me this chess. Every time he played chess, he would draw this chessboard on the ground. Then use stones instead of stones, and tell me which one represents the marshal and which one represents the pawn." Li Wanqing lied in good faith without red eyes or panting, anyway, it is impossible for Aunt Yun to send someone to Xiaoqing Village to verify.

"It turned out to be like this. My aunt sent someone to take it to the carpenter's shop in the city. Before the chess you mentioned is made, let's learn this go first."

"Ah, good." Just learn it, anyway, the skills are not overwhelming, and she does not reject Go.

Because she has the foundation of playing chess, and there are not as many combinations of Go, Li Wanqing soon learned it. In just two days, she was able to fight [-] rounds with Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun lamented that Li Wanqing was the one who met her The most talented chess player ever.

Two days later, the chess drawn by Li Wanqing was also made, and this time it was Li Wanqing who taught Aunt Yun again, because there are more combinations of chess than Go, Aunt Yun had a hard time learning it, but Aunt Yun learned it in just two days up.

Li Wanqing successfully passed the level of chess, and the next step is the book. In order to make Li Wanqing's handwriting look good, Aunt Yun specially asked Yun to buy a tracing book.

"Auntie, I'm not a child anymore." Li Wanqing couldn't laugh or cry as she looked at the tracing book she had written when she was four years old.

"Qing'er, you started later than others, this red tracing is very effective, be good, hurry up and practice." Aunt Yun coaxed Li Wanqing patiently.

Well, she was back when she was four years old again, but thinking of being able to write openly in the future, Li Wanqing didn't say much, so she sat down and began to draw red seriously. Seeing Li Wanqing's cooperation, Aunt Yun was very satisfied.

It took Li Wanqing only two days to finish writing the red tracing book. Looking at the correct font, Aunt Yun was very satisfied, so she bought another red tracing book and came back, planning to spend half a day tracing red and half a day drawing.

Li Wanqing really wanted to say that she could draw, but thinking that she had already been exposed in chess, it was already a great talent to play chess. She didn't want to be regarded as a monster, so she had to resign herself to learn painting from Aunt Yun.

This morning, Li Wanqing was practicing calligraphy seriously, when she heard the servant girl come to report that there was a person at the gate who called himself shopkeeper Cai came to Li Wanqing.

Hearing that it was Shopkeeper Cai who came to look for her, Li Wanqing threw away the pen happily, and strode out. Shopkeeper Cai came to the door at this time, probably to help her find the maid.

Thinking of this possibility, Li Wanqing quickened her pace a bit, seeing that Li Wanqing hurried out of the room as soon as she heard shopkeeper Cai coming, and Aunt Yun also followed out curiously.
