Yan Shen was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked unnatural, and he said coldly: "It's too boring over there, it smells like makeup, I just walked around."
Shen Xitang glanced at him, but did not expose him. He looked up at the direction where Jiang Xun left, and said with a half-smile, "Does Prince Kang also think this woman is special?"
Yan Shen followed his gaze and could only see Jiang Xun's slim figure slowly walking away. He said, "What's so special? It's just that her beauty is better than other women."
Shen Xitang did not answer, but smiled meaningfully.
"You don't fall in love with her, do you?" Yan Shen's tone was a little strange.
"Aren't you also very interested in her?" Shen Xitang smiled.
"Me? Huh... how is that possible?" Yan Shen took a breath and said coldly.
"I heard that Xiao Wanghe intends to marry her," Shen Xitang said.
Yan Shen's expression changed.
"Let's go, the flower banquet performance is about to begin." Shen Xitang said.
"Where was the person who was with you just now?" Yan Shen asked.
Shen Xitang said: "Already gone."
…
When Jiang Xun returned to the pavilion, Yan Longyue and others came over immediately when they saw her.
"Sister Xun, where have you been? It's easy to find me." Yan Longyue asked.
"I went to the clean room and accidentally got lost." Jiang Xun said.
"You came back just in time, the performance is about to begin." Yan Xiwu said.
"Um."
Jiang Xun saw Wei Mingyu coming back in a hurry, looking a little ugly, her eyes were still red, and she looked like she was lost. After she saw Jiang Xun, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"I just heard that Xiao Mansion paid a lot of money to hire some singers. Their singing voices are very beautiful, just like the cries of orioles."
"Please go and take a seat over there." The young lady of Xiao Mansion came over and invited them to watch the performance, and everyone went to the stage to find a seat and sit down.
Just as he was talking, everyone suddenly heard the sound of music being played.
Jiang Xun and others followed the sound, but after a while they saw a graceful woman in green walking out. Behind her were four women in purple, all of whom held a magnificent phoenix-headed harp in their hands.
The woman in green stood on the temporary high platform and bowed gracefully to everyone, then sat down and started playing the phoenix-headed harp, with the other four accompanying her.
The soft and clear music sounded, like the sound of nature.
Everyone was mesmerized by the song until the end of the song and could not wake up from it.
Jiang Xun was not interested in the music. She was still thinking about what happened just now. Someone happened to come over to bring tea and cakes. Jiang Xun glanced subconsciously and was slightly startled. The woman in front of her, dressed as a maid, was holding a plate of snacks. That "Su Xun".
Their facial features were somewhat similar, and Su Xunsheng's was also pretty and bright. There was mist in his eyes, which was very charming. When Jiang Xun saw them, he had to say, "These eyes are really beautiful."
Su Xun was also looking at Jiang Xun, her eyes were a little cautious, and there was a bit of jealousy in her eyes. She just glanced at Jiang Xun for a few moments before shrinking back, and served tea to all the guests with a smile.
Jiang Xun remained calm. If Su Xun had any brains, he wouldn't do anything at this time. Now was not a good time for her to admit her marriage.
After a while, those handsome husbands also came. In addition to Shen Xitang, there were many beautiful men from the Jiang family, the Yan family, the Xu family, and the Lin family, but no one could steal the limelight from Shen Xitang.
Next to Shen Xitang stood Yan Shen. Yan Shen's face, although a little too cold, was still very eye-catching.
After the performance, the singers on the stage left one after another. Wang, the eldest mistress of the Xiao family, walked onto the stage and said with a smile: "After watching the performance, I have a suggestion. The ladies here are all talented women, and they are all versatile. , how about we compete here today and let us all judge to see whose performance is the best and most powerful, what do you think?"
The noble ladies were all interested and talked in low voices. They looked at the men at the other table, and their minds inevitably became lively. If they could show off in front of their favorite men, it would also attract their attention. It's a good thing that there is usually nothing to show off. These ladies all have good skills and are very confident, so they all nodded in agreement.
"In this case, we will invite all the gentlemen to be the judges. Whoever likes the performance will pick a flower from the garden and give it to that person. In the end, whoever has the most flowers will be the leader today, and I will give it to her. A gift. As for the order of performances, let’s draw lots, and whoever is called will be the winner,” Wang said.
"What do you want to perform?" Yan Xiwu asked in a low voice.
Yan Longyue thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it."
"Unfortunately, I didn't know there would be a performance today. My sister didn't bring her piano, and I didn't bring my pipa. Otherwise, we could have played a song together." Yan Xiwu curled her lips, a little disappointed.
Jiang Xun smiled and said, "Sister Xiwu, how come such a big Xiao Mansion doesn't have a piano and a pipa? I'll just ask a maid later and ask her to borrow them."
"That's what Sister Xun said." Yan Longyue nodded and smiled.
The sadness on Yan Xiwu's face disappeared and she smiled and said, "Why did I forget this? Oh, well, I'll borrow it from the eldest mistress of the Xiao family, and I'll say I'm your sister."
Yan Xiwu heard the eldest lady say that the Xiao Mansion wanted Xiao Wanghe to propose marriage to Jiang Xun, so her tone was full of ridicule.
Jiang Xun blinked and looked embarrassed, his cheeks suddenly turned red.
Their seats were not far from those of the gentlemen. Several gentlemen, including Shen Xitang and Yan Shen, had good martial arts skills and extraordinary hearing, so they heard what sisters Jiang Xun and Yan Xwu said.
There was a faint red cloud on Jiang Xun's pretty face, which made her look more and more feminine, which made people's hearts itch to look at.
Jiang Jiaerlang asked, "Which noble lady's performance are you most looking forward to?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Xun involuntarily, but no one spoke.
"Okay, I won't say anything at this time. I'll see if you send flowers later." Erlang of the Jiang family laughed and scolded.
"General Shen, you are free to come here today. Could it be that you also have the idea of getting a wife? In the past, you would never have come to such a banquet." Someone asked.
Shen Xitang smiled, and the curve of the corners of his mouth was not obvious, but it was enough to surprise them.
Is it possible that you are really right
Everyone was shocked.
Yan Shen glanced at him and narrowed his eyes.
"Prince Kang is here, of course I will come." Shen Xitang said lightly.
"Yes, why are Prince Kang here today? Don't you always say that you hate the smell of makeup, so you avoid places with many women?"
"I have something to do with Wanghe. I didn't know there was a flower banquet today." Yan Shen said coldly.
I wonder if there is a flower banquet today? This... is too perfunctory. There are people greeting guests at the door, and Prince Kang came quite early. Even if he really didn't know, he would have left long ago according to his previous temperament. Why would he still stay here with them? Watch a show together
How strange!
"Wanghe, I heard that you intend to marry the granddaughter of the old lady of Yan Mansion?" asked the eldest son of the Xu family.
Xiao Wanghe kept looking at Jiang Xun and smiled without denying it.
"It turns out it's true. Will I be able to have your wedding wine soon?"
"This girl is both talented and beautiful, with a gentle and quiet temperament. Wanghe is very happy. If she can marry her and bring her home, her red sleeves will be more fragrant. It will be regarded as fulfilling a big wish in life." Xiao Wanghe said bluntly.
Shen Xitang said calmly: "The performance has begun."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted to the stage.
"The first person to appear seems to be the third wife of the Jiang family."
Only the sound of music was heard, and the third wife of the Jiang family performed like drawing a picture before the song was played.
I saw her light and graceful figure, swiping pen and ink on the stage, her movements flowing like clouds and flowing water, her graceful and graceful figure attracted everyone's attention, and she seemed to be dancing when she painted.
At the end of the song, when she showed the painting she had just made in front of everyone, everyone was amazed.
She actually painted the back garden of Xiao Mansion. Although her painting skills were not superb, her ingenuity was impressive.
Originally, being the first one to perform on stage was a bit of a disadvantage, but her thinking was extremely clever, and she was different and impressive from the beginning. If her subsequent performances were not very outstanding, it would be difficult to overshadow her.
The faces of the ladies in the audience were not as relaxed as before.
The performances of the next several noble ladies were actually good, but with Zhu Yu in front, they seemed a bit mediocre.
When it was Wei Mingyu's turn, she played and sang an exotic tune. The melody was something that no one had heard before. Her singing voice was very delicate and beautiful, which finally made the atmosphere lively again, but she kept singing like crazy while playing and singing. Looking at Shen Xitang, it was impossible to hide her thoughts from others, but Shen Xitang turned a blind eye and never looked in her direction.
After Wei Mingyu finished playing the song, Shen Xitang didn't look sideways, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
After that, the names of all the noble ladies were called one after another. Yan Xiwu and Yan Longyue played the harp and pipa together. They were indeed sisters. They had a perfect tacit understanding. The music of the ensemble was much more beautiful than the solo, and they also won everyone's attention. of applause.
Jiang Xun waited for a long time before it was her turn. During the waiting time, she was not idle and asked Yingqiao to borrow many tools for her.
After she came on stage, several maids moved a table to the stage according to her instructions, and Yingqiao arranged all kinds of tea sets for her.
"I see that all the ladies have performed songs, dances, musical instruments, etc., but I can't compare with them. I don't think I have any other skills that I can excel in. Only the tea art is pretty good, so I will make some for you. Let's have a lot of fun over tea. It's just that all the fun over tea is on the tea surface. Everyone can come on stage to watch. "Jiang Xun's voice is neither soft nor serious, neither urgent nor slow. He speaks slowly and tactfully, and sounds very comfortable.
In addition to Yan Shen, there were two other people present who had seen Jiang Xun's tea-making skills on the Flower Chao Festival. They were amazed that day. When Jiang Xun wanted to demonstrate it again today, they stood up without saying a word.
Yan Shen couldn't help but reminisce about the bowl of tea he drank that day. He hesitated for a moment and stood up.
If someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow and come to the stage to watch.
Wei Mingyu was annoyed, but wanted to see what tricks she could make when making tea, so he also asked several ladies he had made friends with to come on stage.
Suddenly, the huge stage was packed with people, all centered on Jiang Xun, surrounding her to watch how she performed this tea show.
Shen Xitang was standing on her right side, so close that he could even smell the fragrance of her body. Shen Xitang fiddled with the beads faster. Her face was obviously calm and gentle, but he was thinking about how to do it. Let her bite her lip, look at herself with tears in her eyes, and moan softly.
The author has something to say: I will take a shower first and then continue writing. This is to make up for yesterday.
I will update another chapter later, probably around 12 o'clock.
Darlings, don’t abandon me. I’ve been very tired recently and I’m a bit busy at work. There’s no car, the company is very remote, and there’s no public transportation. I used to give rides to my colleagues, but my colleagues resigned. Currently, I don’t have any colleagues living near me. , I had no choice but to move from home to the dormitory, and I didn’t sleep well for several days. Oops. Occasionally I go home. It’s not convenient to code without a computer.
I'm thinking that I'll quit my job next month and just write at home. I don't know if I can make up my mind. Last time I mentioned it, everyone was opposed to it, and I was very hesitant.
ps:
If you guys are not satisfied with what I read, I would like to recommend my gay friend Jiang Zhiyu’s quick-travel novels to you.
She updates much faster than me, haha, she updates twice daily, and is serializing two books, which is amazing and the writing is also very beautiful.
