"But the music I heard from Yan Kuang's flute that day was also very good." Hua Zhuo was a little dumbfounded. She had actually known for a long time that Zhuang Zheng practiced piano, and she had also heard Du Wan mention that Zhuang Zheng's chess skills were similar to hers, and that his piano skills were somewhat better than hers, but after all, she was not very proficient in music. She felt that even if it was good, it was only too good, and she had heard Yan Kuang's flute music before, and it was really very good. That day at Qiushuitai, the reason Zhuang Jing was able to beat Yan Kuang was not because Zhuang Jing's piano skills were better than Yan Kuang's, but because the song "Killing of Hundred Flowers" was an unexpected success. What really counts is that Zhuang Jing and Du Wan worked together to beat Yan Kuang.
Hua Zhuo stared at her thoughtfully.
Afterwards, Sun Bingzhong went back with a panda eye. When he was secretly applying ice to his eyes, he happened to be caught by Sun Bingshu. As the saying goes, like a brother, like a sister, another gossip soul was burning, but Sun Bingzhong could not resist his sister's insistence. After a rough fight, the truth was revealed, but who would have expected that Sun Bingshu was curious for a moment and failed to withstand Zhuang Jing's persistent pursuit, so the matter spread to Hua Zhuo's ears.
"As long as you have the heart, I'm telling you this specifically because I want to ask you if you want to go back with me." Webster said again.
Hua Zhuo felt that his face was still hot, and he was too embarrassed to follow him. He opened the window and blew in the cold wind for a while. He felt that his face was no longer so hot, and then he saw Zhuang Jing sneaking in.
She only thought that Zhuang Jing was asking about the visit to Mei in Xishan. Naturally, she felt very embarrassed and secretly blamed Zhuang Zheng for telling Zhuang Jing everything.
She went off topic without saying a few words. How could Hua Zhuo have the time to pay attention to that Sister Sun? Seeing that Zhuang Jing was reluctant to get to the point, he moved the snacks in front of her one by one, making Zhuang Jing hurriedly anxious. Said: "If you don't treat me well, I will ask my second brother to divorce you."
Hua Zhuo was startled, and regardless of his shyness, he raised his head and said, "Are you going to leave too?"
"So-and-so wants to talk to his Qin Se... Damn girl, let you talk nonsense, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
Hua Zhuo burst into laughter with a "ha" sound and said, "That's right." While laughing, she avoided Zhuang Jing's hand that came to tickle her.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jing made a fuss and said, "Didn't the second brother tell you that he taught Yan Kuang a lesson?" Hua Zhuo was startled and said in shock, "What?"
Hua Zhuo blushed and said in a low voice: "Sister Jing'er is lively and cheerful, there's nothing she doesn't like about her." She was embarrassed to mention Zhuang Zheng, but Wei Shi was from the past, so how could he not see the shyness in the corners of her brows and eyes? She was overjoyed that her son was in love with her favorite daughter-in-law. Nothing could satisfy her more than this. Holding Hua Zhuo's hand, he said: "I know that the matter between you and Zheng'er was just wishful thinking on my part from the beginning, and I also used some means to get you two to where you are today. It's not that I'm not worried about whether something will happen. For the resentful couple, fortunately Zheng'er is considerate and obeys my advice, and you are generous and decent, and know how to adapt to the situation. Now that you get along well, my last worry has been completely gone, and I can go back with peace of mind."
Hua Zhuo's face started to get hot again, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about so carelessly?"
"I was just thinking," Hua Zhuo hesitated, "Brother Zhuang Shi's piano skills are better than yours. If I learn the piano with you, won't I never surpass him?"
The matter is actually very simple. Zhuang Zheng met Yan Kuang through Sun Bingzhong's relationship. Sun Bingzhong was also a little selfish and couldn't bear the burning spirit of gossip, so he arranged the meeting place in the back garden of Sun's house. Although Yan Kuang and Sun Bingzhong had different temperaments and would quarrel with each other when they met, he could not resist Sun Bingzhong's pretense of serving his own interests. He used the excuse that his father, Sun Daru, wanted to see Yan Kuang, and tricked Yan Kuang into the Sun Mansion. But as for Zhuang Zheng, he had no intention of meeting Yan Kuang at all. He was playing a zither in the alley outside the back garden of the Sun Mansion. Yan Kuang was good at music, so he naturally heard that the sound of the qin from the mountains and flowing water was better than the sound of the qin that he heard on the Qiushui Terrace that day. It was quite similar to the sound of Ziqi who met Boya. I was so happy that I quickly took the flute and played a song. Unexpectedly, at the halfway point of the song, the sound of the piano suddenly changed. The sound of gold and jade was so high that it could not keep up with the sound of his flute. Now Zi Yan was curious and followed the sound of the piano out of Sun's house and into the back alley. The sound of the piano was already faint, so he only wrote four new characters on the alley wall: That's all. The ink is clear and majestic.
"The New Year's Day is coming soon. I have been stranded in Beijing for a long time. I have to rush back to host the New Year's Day ceremony and have all the necessary favors. As a woman, I don't have as much leisure as you. I can steal these two months. Willful." At this point, Webster paused, and then said with a smile: "I was wrong, you haven't had any leisure time these days. Nowadays, no one in Beijing knows that you, the eighth young lady of the Hua family, in short, your family's My aunt is relieved to leave, and I feel relieved at first glance, so it’s time to go."
"Hmph, you haven't settled the matter with your second brother yet, so you're thinking about Qin Se and Ming." Zhuang Jing couldn't feel her itch, rolled her eyes, and quickly thought of a rebuttal.
Yan Kuang was so angry that he went crazy. He grabbed Sun Bingzhong who was following him and asked, "Did you ask someone to tease me?"
Hua Zhuo also knew that as the royal wife, Wei could not stay away from home for too long. Two months was already the limit, especially before the New Year. There were countless favors in the county governor's mansion, plus New Year's festivals and so on. In fact, Webster should have gone back to prepare a month ago, but it is not easy to delay it until now.
Zhuang Jing suddenly fainted and had to say: "What are you in a hurry? I'm not talking about this." She gathered all the snacks back, and then she didn't dare to go off topic anymore, so she told her what she heard from Sun Bingshu with more details.
After sending away the banker brother and sister, Wei Shi took Hua Zhuo back to the house and said with a smile: "Seeing how well you get along with the two brothers and sisters, I feel relieved."
"Brother Zhuang Shi actually has such a musical skill?" Hua Zhuo was a little startled. When she came to Zhuang Zheng to come forward, she just wanted to use the relationship between the two families to let Zhuang Zheng have a talk with Yan Kuang, and it would be best to make Yan Kuang retreat. However, she never thought that Zhuang Zheng would take such a heavy hand. Yan Kuang was so ashamed and angry now. No wonder Jingli didn't hear anything about it. How could Yan Kuang have the nerve to tell others about this kind of thing? People in the Sun family were not meddlesome, but Zhuang Zheng didn't even tell her, so naturally he wouldn't tell anyone else.
"Ha, I knew that with my second brother's temper, I would never tell you." Zhuang Jing sat down on the chair where Zhuang Zheng was just sitting, and said with a high air: "Oh, I'll accompany you." After talking for a long time, my mouth is dry and my stomach is hungry."
Sun Bingzhong slapped his hand away and said angrily: "If you want to take advantage of others, you can blame others for teaching you a lesson. If you are not as good as others, go home and practice again."
Hua Zhuo shook his head and said, "I have already sent someone back to tell me that this year's New Year's Eve will be celebrated in Beijing." She had just made friends with so many officials and their daughters, and the New Year's Eve was the time to deepen their friendship. She couldn't give up, and she also After making an appointment with Zhuang Zheng at Laba, it was already too late to go back to Huainan Mansion before New Year's Eve, so it was better not to go back.
It seems that nothing is explained clearly, but it seems that everything is explained clearly. Hua Zhuo said nothing, and Zhuang Zheng did not stay any longer. He said, "I'll talk to you later," and then walked away.
Hua Zhuo was so angry and funny that he couldn't do anything with her, so he had to call Baxiu in and said, "Go and get some snacks." He poured Zhuang Jing a cup of tea with his own hands, and then said, "What on earth is going on? "She was full of curiosity. No wonder Yan Kuang hasn't come to disturb her since that day. Even the rumors outside gradually subsided. I originally thought that Lin Feng had used some trick, but I didn't expect Zhuang Zheng to move so quickly. How did he do it? Why didn't he hear any wind outside
"Sister Sun?" Hua Zhuo blinked. Another sister Sun appeared out of nowhere
Zhuang Jing twisted her nose and said, "That's natural. When my second brother and I were learning the piano together with Master Zhen, Master Zhen said that I could only acquire eight points of her piano skills, while my second brother had already learned the piano. There is no way to teach, and as time goes by, one will surely outperform the master and become better than the master. Even Sister Wan'er once wrote to my second brother to ask for advice on piano skills."
"Miss, the second young master said he is going back, please come over quickly."
Zhuang Jing quickly explained: "She is Sun Daru's youngest daughter, her name is Bingshu. She came to me mysteriously that day and asked me about my second brother and you. I thought she had something to do with my second brother. What are you thinking about? I said Sister Zhuo'er, you have to be careful. There are many people in Beijing who are thinking about my second brother. If you don't pay close attention, huh... "
"Did my second brother tell you?" She was so excited that her face was red.
Zhuang Jing was proud for a while and then felt uncomfortable being looked at. She said, "Why are you staring at me? If you want to stare, just stare at my second brother."
Zhuang Jing was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized and said angrily: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are making fun of me."
"This is a big deal. It's time for me to go back, otherwise the county governor will be extremely anxious, but I really can't bear to leave." Hua Zhuo said, his eye circles gradually turning red. Since the arrival of the fifteenth aunt, Webster has hardly done anything to avoid her embarrassment. He even rarely comes to see her. She can understand the painstaking efforts and is even more reluctant to give up.
Zhuang Jing was naturally very satisfied when she saw her taking the road like this. She laughed and said, "Second brother didn't tell me about this either. It was Sister Sun who asked me quietly if the matter between second brother and you was settled. Tell me to listen." I had a clue, I pestered her for a long time before she secretly told me."
"Haha, you were the one who told me first, don't you want to make peace with your second brother Qin Se? If that's the case, how about I talk to my second brother and let the matter between our two families be settled?" The two girls were talking. When they were making a fuss, they suddenly heard Bi Xi's voice coming from outside.
Hua Zhuo rolled his eyes at her and said, "The matter between me and your second brother has not been decided yet."
"My second brother is the best." Zhuang Jing raised her chin, like a proud little peacock, showing off proudly.
