200, free labor
Have no dreams all night, sleep peacefully until dawn.
After Gu Qianxue woke up and had a good meal, she sent someone to call Gu Qianrou to continue listening to the song.
Gu Qianrou reluctantly ran over with Rou'er and a few maidservants.
"Sister, you have to say a tune today, I don't want to play the piano so aimlessly." Gu Qianrou suppressed her anger and said.
Gu Qianxue looked surprised, "Yesterday I selected a song and was about to tell you, but I accidentally fell asleep. What is the name of your third last song yesterday?"
"..." Gu Qianrou couldn't remember what the third last song was, and besides, she didn't even know when Gu Qianxue fell asleep. "I have no idea."
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "I can't help it, then you have to play it for me again."
Gu Qianrou gritted her teeth, "I... I... My hand hurts and I can't play it anymore."
"Oh," Gu Qianxue looked helpless, "Forget it, you go back, Yucui, and invite Aunt Wang here."
"Yes, miss." Yucui immediately walked out quickly to invite Aunt Wang.
Yulian brought up a plate with sliced apples in it, "Miss, the old lady told me, this apple is good for your health, you must eat more of it." She didn't let Gu Qianrou eat it at all.
"Okay." Gu Qianxue was also obedient. She used a bamboo skewer to pick up an apple piece and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, she recalled the raw materials of the salad dressing. After a while, she looked up and saw Gu Qianrou, "Second sister, didn't you say that your hands are tired?" ? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Just kidding, go back to rest, how do you know what song Gu Qianxue chose
"Sister, although my sister's hands are tired, I can stay and help my sister as a staff officer. My sister is also dabbled in dancing skills." Gu Qianju said.
Gu Qianxue disagreed, "No, I have a preference for listening to music, and I like to be the only one in the room to listen to it. If there are too many people, I can't concentrate."
"You..." Gu Qianrou became angry, "But when I played the piano for you yesterday, there were still Yulian, Yucui and Cui'er in the room."
"So," Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "Because there were so many people, I couldn't concentrate, so I fell asleep."
Nonsense, obviously I was too tired, so I accidentally fell asleep.
Gu Qianrou was trembling with anger, Tweety tugged at Gu Qianrou's sleeve and winked, and finally, the two left.
After leaving the yard, Tweety said, "Miss, you don't need to play the piano for her. Didn't they ask Aunt Wang to play the piano? Let's go and ask Aunt Wang later, what song did the eldest lady choose, isn't it all right?"
When Gu Qianrou heard this, she also felt that it made sense, so she followed Cui'er back.
After a while, Aunt Wang was invited.
Different from Gu Qianrou's treatment, Aunt Wang received warm hospitality in Tingxueyuan. The maids greeted Aunt Wang affectionately, and some even brought tea and snacks.
"Aunt Wang is really a rare visitor, is this the first time to my Tingxueyuan?" Gu Qianxue pulled Aunt Wang over, sat on a chair, and sat next to Aunt Wang.
Said to be Auntie, but in fact, Aunt Wang is only five years older than Gu Qianxue, and she is nineteen years old this year.
Gu Qianxue felt sorry for these girls from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention marrying an old man at a young age, she would still be discriminated against. But after thinking about it again, the last few aunts who entered the mansion were from poor families. After entering the Gu mansion, their lives are more comfortable than before, which can be regarded as a gain.
"Missy is such a precious person, and she is also a celebrity around Concubine Qin and Princess Yong'an. If there is no summons, the concubine would not dare to come and disturb her." Aunt Wang said timidly.
Gu Qianxue said with a smile, "Don't say that, regardless of seniority, we are about the same age, so we must have a lot of common topics to talk about. As long as I am in the mansion on weekdays, you are welcome to come and play at any time."
Aunt Wang lowered her head, "Yes, the concubine knows it, miss." She still showed respect.
Gu Qianxue was not entangled in the formality, "We will chat more later, but today is tight, so please play some tunes for me."
This is the "homework" that Su Lingxiao gave her. Apart from eating and sleeping, she has to listen to the tunes, and listen carefully, trying to be familiar with each tune.
At the beginning, Gu Qianxue thought it was a difficult task. It took two days to become familiar with every piece of music, and even if she listened to it without eating or drinking, she couldn't finish it.
Later, it was discovered that Nanyue Kingdom counted and counted, and there were only dozens of songs, unlike modern songs. This is not only the case in Nanyue country, but also in ancient China. The tunes are fixed, but the lyrics are worked hard.
Therefore, there are only so many lyrics in Song Ci, so there are only a few tunes in Yuan Opera.
Aunt Wang was also unambiguous, she sat down and began to play, one song after another, tirelessly.
It has to be said that Aunt Wang's piano skills are not as good as Gu Qianrou's, but Gu Qianxue still listens seriously.
In a flash, it was noon.
Aunt Wang played for the whole morning, and she was tired. Although Aunt Wang wanted to stay and play in the afternoon, Gu Qianxue declined politely, because someone would come back to be a free laborer in the afternoon.
When Aunt Wang was about to leave, Gu Qianxue asked Yulian to take out a pair of jade earrings from the warehouse and gave them to Aunt Wang as a thank you gift.
Aunt Wang's family is poor, and although she has monthly money, most of it is subsidized to her family, so naturally she has no spare money to buy jewelry. When I saw the earrings, I couldn't help but like them, but I was embarrassed to accept them, "No... no, Miss, you will not be rewarded for nothing, even the most famous luthier can play for a whole morning, and you can't earn such a pendant." , I can’t have this pendant as a concubine.”
Gu Qianxue smiled, "That's right, you said you won't get paid for nothing, I have something to ask you." Immediately afterwards, she approached Aunt Wang and whispered something, Aunt Wang nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Aunt Wang hesitated to speak.
"Is there anything else Aunt Wang can do?" Gu Qianxue asked.
Aunt Wang gritted her teeth for the last time, blushing, and said, "Concubine... Concubine... I hope the master can teach me how to play the piano... Concubine..."
"Understood, don't worry, Aunt Wang, father will pass by within three days." Gu Qianxue immediately understood, and felt once again this evil social system in her heart, polygamy, a woman has to please her stepdaughter if she wants to see her husband.
Aunt Wang left with a blushing face, while Gu Qianxue sat on her seat and closed her eyes.
Although no one was playing the qin, I felt my head was buzzing, as if the sound of the qin was still reverberating.
"Miss, do you want to invite any aunt to play the piano this afternoon?" Yu Cui asked.
Gu Qianxue opened her eyes and smiled slyly, "No, the free luthier will be back."
Listening outside the Xueyuan gate.
The blushing Aunt Wang was walking back happily, but was stopped by Gu Qianrou and her group, "Hey, let me ask you, what song did the eldest lady choose in the end?"
Aunt Wang hated this arrogant second lady, "No."
How could Gu Qianrou believe it? "Really? Dare to lie to me, do you know what will happen?"
