Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun were at the side. The old princess' face was always light, and she could not see any joy, anger or sadness. After sitting on the main seat, she waved her hand, and the princess smiled at Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun. Nodding her head, Mrs. Yun helped Mrs. Yun to sit on the side seat next to the main seat.
The main seat was originally the old princess, the princess and the princess, each of whom was a little shorter. The old princess asked Xiao Wei to sit next to her, and Wu Yiyu and Xiao Jinglin joined the case. The princess asked Mrs. Yun to add seats to Mrs. Xiao and the mother and daughter of Xiao Jingyuan.
On both sides of the main seat there were a few short ones, and now an old lady Yun was sitting. Ren Yaoqi was guessing who the remaining ones were for, but she saw Mrs. Xu, Ouyang, and several ladies coming over together. After the ladies met the old princess and the princess, they sat on the short table next to the old lady Yun. There were a total of six people sitting there. Ren Yaoqi only knew Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Su. The remaining three ladies were all about the same age as Mrs. Xu.
The ladies who were standing before bowed their knees and saluted.
The princess nodded gently and said, "Sit down." Then everyone sat down.
"Everyone is here? Let's get started." The old princess raised her eyes and whispered to the princess.
The princess responded and nodded at Madam Xu.
In previous years, although the Yun family had organized the Qianjin Banquet, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Ouyang, presided over the inspection of the talents of the daughters.
Ouyang Shi stood up and said in a slow voice, "I think you all know the rules of today's competition, so I won't repeat them. No matter what kind of talent you are, you can use it as long as you think you are good at it. Come out and show it. In the end, we will decide the best ten unqualified scholars, as the chief masters of this year's Qianjin Banquet. The sage said, 'A gentleman has nothing to contend with, and he will also shoot. 'As long as you can understand the truth, the result doesn't matter...'
Ouyang's voice was not loud, not sonorous, and even had some morbid qi deficiency, but there was a unique charm that made people calm down and listen to her.
Ren Yaoqi sat down and looked at Ouyang Shi, and saw that although her face was still not very good, her spirit was good. I don't know if the medicine will help her. Ren Yaoqi thought about finding an opportunity to visit after the Qianjin Banquet was over.
Ouyang's finished speaking and sat down, but Ren Yaoqi found that the ladies who were sitting upright seemed to be a little commotion, although that little commotion was shown to be very restrained. Ren Yaoyu, who was sitting next to her, always quietly looked into the peach blossom forest on the opposite side from time to time.
Ren Yaoqi also looked up, but found that there seemed to be people in the peach blossom forest. In the blink of an eye, Ren Yaoqi understood the shyness and eagerness of the ladies and gentlemen. It must be the same as the last tea party in the Su family, those young masters are gathering in the woods at the moment.
I heard that just a few days ago, there are already more than a dozen families who have the intention of marrying each other. These young sons and young ladies must also want to know the appearance of the person who will be engaged with them. After all, if we meet again next time It is very likely that it is time for the bridal chamber flower candle, because the two parties to the marriage are likely not from the same state capital, and just looking at the flowers through the fog of most of the peach forest, I don't know if they can recognize the person clearly.
Seeing that the elders including the old princess did not show any unpleasantness about this, it must be the practice of Qianjin Banquet.
Ren Yaoqi was absent-mindedly thinking about some of these things, but he heard Ouyang say above: "Master, how about you start today?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look up at Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin was sitting there expressionlessly and reciting a map of the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body. When she heard Ouyang's call, she raised her head as if nothing had happened. Subconsciously glanced at Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi blinked at her with a smile and nodded.
Xiao Jinglin thought that she had to play it sooner or later anyway, and the first one would be the first one. If she finished it earlier, she would learn from those women who were sick three times a day and said that they would go first.
Thinking about this, when Xiao Jinglin was about to nod her head, she heard Wu Yiyu who was sitting next to her say a step ahead: "I'm afraid Jinglin is not ready yet, why don't you let me throw a brick and attract jade today." She said without looking at Xiao Jinglin. What to say, she stood up one step before her.
Xiao Jinglin frowned, the princess was about to say something, but the old princess smiled and said, "Since Yiyu wants to come first, then let Yiyu come. Jinglin's finale today is not bad."
The old wangfei opened her mouth, but the wangfei could only swallow the words and nodded with a smile: "It's the same for Yiyu to come first."
Wu Yiyu turned her head towards Xiao Jinglin and smiled, behind the crowd, her smile contained undisguised pride and malice. Xiao Jinglin turned her eyes away and regarded her as nothing.
When the two maids carried a piano case and placed it under the main seat, Ren Yaoqi faintly felt that something was wrong.
Wu Yiyu walked slowly to the piano table and sat down. Her maid held a piano and placed it on the piano table in front of her. Wu Yiyu raised an arrogant smile at the corner of her mouth and raised her hand to pluck the strings.
Familiar piano sounds flowed from Wu Yiyu's fingertips, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sighing, and looked at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Wu Yiyu below with a blank expression. Wu Yiyu was also wearing a purple jacket and skirt today. A flying phoenix with wings spread was embroidered all over her body with gold thread. There was no embroidered Zhai pattern. The eight-treasure pattern of "wheel screw umbrella cover, flower pot fish long". Wearing a luxurious white jade lotus crown inlaid with treasures on her head, this outfit is actually similar to Xiao Jinglin herself.
Xiao Jinglin doesn't pay attention to clothes on weekdays, so she didn't notice Wu Yiyu's clothes before. But now, Wu Yiyu played the song "Moon Full Guanshan" that she had been practicing for a long time before her. If she hadn't realized Wu Yiyu's deliberate provocation, she would have lived in vain.
Xiao Jinglin's nature is free and easy, and she doesn't really care much about winning or losing today's Qianjin Banquet, but Wu Yiyu's actions made her feel a little sorry for her mother's efforts these days for her, as well as the waste of Ren Yaoqi's piano practice with her. time and energy.
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but glance at the princess, the smile on the princess' face faded a lot, she picked up the teacup and casually left the tea foam.
The old princess narrowed her eyes slightly, as if immersed in the sound of Wu Yiyu's piano and did not notice the surrounding atmosphere. Xiao Wei looked at her daughter with a smile, and the tip of her right index finger gently tapped on the short table.
They didn't seem to realize what was wrong with Wu Yiyu's behavior. It was just that Xiao Jinglin practiced the piano in the Yanbei Wangfu. Everyone in the Wangfu knew, and even the wife who was sweeping the floor in the Wangfu knew that the county master only played that tune every day. .
Xiao Jinglin finally met Ren Yaoqi's worried eyes, she thought about it, and smiled comfortingly at Ren Yaoqi.
Ouyang also frowned, but today's competition was hosted by her, so she couldn't say anything. After all, it was said at the beginning that it is up to the ladies to show any talent.
Wu Yiyu finally finished playing the tune.
In all fairness, Wu Yiyu plays pretty well, at least compared to Xiao Jinglin, who is cramming her feet, her piano skills are much superior. If Xiao Jinglin still insists on playing the song "Moon Full Guanshan", no matter how well she plays, it will inevitably be inferior. Presumably this is also Wu Yiyu's intention to play Xiao Jinglin's song one step ahead.
Wu Yiyu got up and returned to her seat. When she sat down, she leaned slightly over her body and whispered in Xiao Jinglin's ear, "How did I play?"
Xiao Jinglin turned her head and glanced at her as if she was looking at an ant that couldn't get into her eyes, then she turned her head without saying a word and ignored her.
Xiao Jinglin has decided not to play, although she may be a little unwilling in her heart.
Wu Yiyu's face turned cold from the stimulation in her eyes, and then she seemed to remember something, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"If you don't play, let alone today's leader, you won't even get one of the ten leaders, and you will lose all the face of Yanbei's palace and princess. Oh, I Forget the face of the Yanbei Palace and Jingyuan, but the princess's face will not be easy to restore. You don't care, and the princess doesn't care?"
Xiao Jinglin continued to stay as still as a mountain, she knew that Wu Yiyu wanted to provoke her anger by saying this, and let her get out of control and angry in public. If she did what Wu Yiyu wanted, she would be so stupid.
Although in her heart, Xiao Jinglin has silently greeted Wu Yiyu's ancestors for the eighteen generations one by one.
Wu Yiyu saw that no matter what she said, Xiao Jinglin didn't react at all and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but she was still in a good mood waiting to watch the excitement.
Next, the ladies came forward to perform their talents in order of seating. This time the seating was originally arranged according to the family background of the families, so no one had any opinions. On the contrary, the girls of the Ren family were in the higher order because they were specially taken care of by the princess, which made them very excited. Everyone knows that the higher the ranking, the greater the chance of winning the championship.
After Wu Yiyu, Yun Qiuchen, the eldest young lady of the Yun family, appeared. However, Miss Yun had already won the top spot at the last daughter's banquet. With Xiao Jinglin and the others here this time, Yun Qiuchen felt that she was just going through the motions, and she retired after writing a poem.
The eldest Miss of the Su family, Su Fangfei, is also known to be both talented and beautiful, although she lost to Yun Qiuchen in the last Qianjin Banquet and won the second place. This year, Miss Su is performing calligraphy with both hands. After writing it, Ren Yaoqi took a look at it. Miss Su's left-hand calligraphy should have only been practiced in the last two years, although it looks like it After all, it lacks a bit of rhythm, but the right hand is written well.
