Tang You and Chen Yuyan were seated at the front of the banquet, and they hadn't noticed the commotion at the door. They were surrounded by vulgar people, and they all looked like people, but the content of the conversation was not very serious. now—
"There are so many beauties at the banquet today, Brother Tang, which one do you like?" Chen Yuyan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Tang You smiled: "I like them all."
"Brother Tang, you can't be too greedy." Another man in Tsing Yi answered.
"My name is Huaxin, not greed." Tang You said sternly, "I just like beautiful beauties, they are all beautiful, so I like them all, what can I do."
This made Chen Yuyan laugh, and they grabbed the things around them and hit him. Tang You was chased and dodged by several people, and ran around the seat several times.
"Tang You, stop, if you have the seeds, stop for me!"
"We don't care about our brotherhood at all, we eat meat and soup with you, and we just lick the pot?"
In the midst of the noise, Xie Fei walked slowly over with Xiwen. Tang You, who was out of breath after being chased, had his eyes glowing, and he leaned over to Xie Fei with a shy face. The wicked first complained, "Brother Fei. Look, they actually joined forces to bully me."
The few people who followed after heard the words and glared at Tang You: "You deserve it, who made you cheap."
Tang You was about to retort, Xie Fei glanced at him and said lightly: "Okay, the banquet is about to start, I'll go to the seat with Xiwen first."
"Oh, Brother Fei, you actually brought your family?" Tang You said, leaning his head and looking at Xiwen who was hiding behind Xie Fei.
When she heard the word "family", Xiwen's face started to turn red, and now a few pairs of eyes looked over, she directly covered her face with her hands in shame.
Xie Fei slightly turned to block the sight of several people, and separated Tang You's head with his hand, looked at him and said, "Xiwen is fragile, don't scare her."
Tang You looked at Chen Yuyan angrily and asked, "Do I look scary?"
Those few nodded tacitly, and then started a new round of chasing after me.
When Tang You and the others had had enough trouble and returned to their seats, a male voice came from the chairman's seat: "The first prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, and the ninth prince are here—"
Everyone stood up and saluted, the four princes took their seats one after another, and the eldest prince smiled and signaled everyone to take their seats.
The banquet started, and the servants held pots of chrysanthemums of various shapes and colors and placed them around the courtyard. Suddenly, the fragrance of chrysanthemums filled the whole garden.
The ones in front are basically common chrysanthemums such as bonsai chrysanthemum, marigold, calendula, tricolor chrysanthemum, and the last few servants carefully carried the chrysanthemum to the center of the banquet, and everyone was curious. He stretched his neck, and the next moment his eyes widened in shock. It was unexpectedly precious and unusual green peony, ink lotus, phoenix Zhenyu and West Lake Liuyue. These are all chrysanthemums that are hard to buy.
"Thank you for your appreciation. Come to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. In order to express our gratitude, this palace specially sent people to search for these pots of peerless chrysanthemums, so please enjoy them." The eldest prince said with a toast.
Everyone agreed and drank the wine, the second prince raised his lips, smiled and said: "Brother, just appreciating chrysanthemums is too boring, the ladies here are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't we hold a competition? ?"
"It's a good idea, but I don't know why this bet is good?" The fifth prince agreed.
The second prince's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Just use these four pots of chrysanthemum as a reward, is the eldest brother willing to give up his love?"
"Why not give up." The eldest prince said indifferently, and then asked the crowd, "What do you ladies think?"
The purpose of the ladies present here to attend the banquet is to make the capital famous. Besides, today's banquet is not the son of the noble family, or the talented person from the poor family, and there are even four princes who have not yet married. All of these men have a promising future. If you want to gain their favor, this is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
All the ladies tacitly acquiesced, only Xiwen, who is now focusing on the four pots of chrysanthemums in the center of the courtyard, especially the pot of green peony, whose outer petals are light green, with dark green heart petals. Curled upwards, green like jade, crystal clear and dazzling.
At the same time, Chen Bing'er in the distance frowned tightly as she looked at the young ladies who were gearing up to perform their talents.
She has lived in the countryside since she was born, and she is only good at fetching water, cooking, washing and chopping wood. She doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and girlish skills. Although she started to study after Beijing, she didn't just study it herself. In just half a month, how can she compare to these young ladies who have studied hard since childhood. She is afraid that she will be laughed at, and I just hope that Brother Liang will not be implicated...
A simple performance stage was quickly set up in the middle of the banquet. Miss Li, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, volunteered to be the first to perform on the stage. She played a melodious and melodious flute, which was fascinating; Each time, the lotus danced a wavy dance; Miss Lu from the Qinggui Family played a very beautiful pipa song; Miss Liu from the Zuo Xiangfu's house even attracted beautiful butterflies with her wonderful Danqing!
With such a rare opportunity, these young ladies have come up with their own unique skills in pressing the bottom of the box. Everyone is dazzled and applauded.
Just when everyone was hesitating, Tang You's eyes fell on Xie Fei and Xiwen. He smiled and said, "Eldest Prince, Princess Anping hasn't performed yet!"
As he said that, he looked at Xie Fei ingratiatingly and said, "Brother Fei, let your princess play a song. I have long heard that Princess Anping's piano skills are superb, but unfortunately I missed the last Queen Mother's birthday banquet. You will satisfy me next time, and let me have a good time."
Xie Fei put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "I don't care, Xiwen is willing to do it." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xiwen beside him.
Xiwen raised her face slightly, her clear eyes were full of longing, she pursed her lips and hesitated, "I, I like that pot of green peony..."
"Then go, I'm here, don't be afraid." Xie Fei nodded and smiled lightly.
Xi Wen nodded overjoyedly, smiled involuntarily, and said lightly, "Then I'll be ugly."
After saying that, she got up and walked to the stage, flicking her sleeves, Shi Shiran sat in front of the piano stage, and a pair of slender fingers that were white and better than snow just rested on the strings and plucked gently.
The sound of the piano is as clear and lingering as spring water, the sound is gentle and lingering, just like the meeting of mountains and rivers, and then it turns like a yellow warbler. Wen suddenly raised her eyes to look at Xie Fei, the eyes of the two met in the air, Xie Fei's eyes were focused and affectionate, all of a sudden, Xi Wen only felt that everything around her didn't exist, only the two of them were left.
Seeing how the two were in love with each other, everyone felt that the sound of the piano became more and more intoxicating, turning into a graceful fairy and entangled between the two.
At the end of the song, everyone was still intoxicated, and when Xiwen returned to her seat, everyone woke up like a dream, and they all cast their eyes of admiration and admiration at Xiwen: "Princess Anping's piano skills are really superb, I'm really waiting. It's hard to beat."
"This song should only be found in the sky, how many times should I hear it in the world? I only really saw it today!"
Everyone was talking in high spirits, and Xiwen lowered her head shyly. Her plain white hands were stirring the handkerchief under the table. Her fair cheeks were already red and hot, and even her neck and ears were stained with a tinge of blush.
Xie Fei looked sideways at the petite woman beside him, his cold eyes stained with a bit of a smile, and said calmly, "Playing well."
His voice was so low that Xiwen almost thought she was hallucinating, she raised her head in a daze, and met his eyes with a low smile, her heart suddenly became numb, and she blushed and stammered: " Much, thank you for the compliment…”
The ladies tried their best to make a wedding dress for Xiwen in the end. Although they also admitted that Princess Anping's piano skills were indeed unparalleled, they were really unwilling to let them give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just as the ladies were frowning and thinking about countermeasures, Miss Li, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry, saw Chen Bing'er's mouth with a faint sneer. What better talent, why not perform it for everyone to appreciate?"
The lively banquet just now quieted down in an instant. During the stalemate, Chen Bing'er frowned and said, "Miss Li, Bing'er was born in the countryside and is not good at any kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
When Miss Li heard this, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel happy. What you want is that you are not good at it. Since Princess Anping's song is so beautiful, it's up to you to set off us. She immediately smiled and said: "Miss Chen doesn't have to be humble. Since you can get into the eyes of Mr. Liang, there must be something extraordinary. Please give me some advice and show it to everyone."
During the conversation between the two, the rest of the daughters also figured out the key points and invited them one after another. Before Liang Shao saw Xi Wen and Xie Fei flirting with each other when he was playing the piano, he was unhappy in his heart. Now, regardless of Chen Bing'er's embarrassment, his brain became hot, and he said, "Bing'er, you can perform one."
Liang Shao thought very well. He thought that as long as he was a woman, he would have one or two talents that he could show off, but he didn't know that it would be good for Chen Binger to be well fed and clothed. There is no such thing as a skill in the countryside, so even if you have money, you can't learn such high skills as the women in Beijing.
Chen Bing'er couldn't, so she got up and went to the stage. All around, there were malicious eyes from the ladies who were waiting to see her joke. She hesitated for a while in the urging of everyone. She opened her mouth and sang a song of her country. folk song.
In fact, this song is not bad, especially Chen Bing'er's own voice is very endearing, but which of these daughters' skills has not been tempered, it is conceivable that Chen Bing'er's clear soup and water-like songs are really good No countertops.
As soon as they sang a few words, the young masters and young ladies couldn't help laughing. Gradually, the laughter became louder and louder. Chen Bing'er's face turned red, and her throat seemed to be blocked. Her trembling mouth was slowly clenched, and the hand hidden in the sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, and the blue veins on the back of the hand were bulging.
Holding back her tears, she spoke again. After singing, Chen Bing'er staggered back to her seat step by step. Liang Shaohu, who was beside her, stared at her, his face ashen. Seeing Chen Bing'er's pale face, he not only did not comfort him, but turned away angrily. head.
