The room was very quiet, there was no sound at all.
She quietly raised her head to glance at Chi Jingxi, and found that he didn't seem to have opened the book, but was looking at something on the cover of the book.
Wen Yantong's heart skipped a beat, and he said immediately, "Young Master, I know I was wrong, you don't remember the faults of villains, don't worry about me, okay?"
Chi Jingxi threw the book on the table, picked up a teacup, and leaned lazily on the soft chair, his eyes rolled around the rim of the cup, "What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have pretended to be a maidservant to lie to you." Wen Yantong honestly confessed everything.
Chi Jingxi's fingers were slender, white and beautiful, and the soft fingertips rubbed against the edge of the dark cup, and then rouge appeared on the fingertips, and did not respond to Wen Yantong's words.
"And..." Wen Yantong dragged his tone slowly, "I shouldn't lie and say that I haven't touched anything in the house, the books on the bookshelf, the water on the table, and the soft chair... I have touched them all."
After Chi Jingxi finished listening, he placed the cup heavily on the table and made a bang, which scared Wen Yantong's eyelids.
On the cover of the book, there are traces left by Wen Yantong's fingers after applying face powder; on the rim of the cup, there are also red marks from the rouge on her lips; the soft chair is even more terrible.
Wen Yantong was lying on the bed just now, and the smell of powder on his face and hands was inevitably contaminated. None of this can be hidden from Chi Jingxi, he knew at a glance that Wen Yantong was lying.
But Wen Yantong originally just wanted to panic and escape from the room, how could he think that he would be punished by Chi Jingxi!
Now I'm afraid that Chi Jingxi is really angered, what if he suddenly hits her? Wen Yantong didn't want to take that kick when he kicked a big boy backwards twice.
Although she padded a lot of things on her chest, it was hard and stiff, but if she was kicked by Chi Jingxi...
The more Wen Yantong thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and she lowered her head and began to cry.
Chi Jingxi's handsome eyebrows furrowed, and he turned his head to look, "What are you moaning about?"
"... I don't want to be beaten." Wen Yantong cried bitterly, "Don't hit me, my leg hurts."
Chi Jingxi didn't want to beat her at first, but when he saw a young man crying like this, he couldn't help itching his hands.
Kesiji Wen Yantong had a lame leg, was thin and short, he might be dead if he punched him twice, so he said in a bad mood, "When did I say I was going to beat you?"
When Wen Yantong heard this, he immediately stopped talking. She doesn't have the ability to cry when she says it like an actor, and she just howled dryly.
Chi Jingxi looked at her appearance, and said disdainfully, "I used to be a bitch, but now I still put on makeup and wear women's dresses, why not just send me to the palace to be a eunuch, why stay here to study .”
"That's wrong..." Wen Yantong retorted softly.
Chi Jingxi glanced at her.
Under the pressure, she still said, "Eunuchs don't like to wear women's dresses..."
This is true.
Chi Jingxi had no way to refute, and was so angry that he didn't speak for a while. Then he said, "Your Mingwen is the last one in the academy in the class test, and your handwriting is not as neat as scratching a dog's paw. How can you still have the face to stay in the academy?"
This Wen Yantong has to fight, "I've already practiced again. The piece of paper I took from the young master earlier was framed on the desk by me, and I'm practicing every day!"
Chi Jingxi gasped, "Eat and sleep for a while, what can you do?"
"Practice a little every day, and it will be effective if you accumulate it over time." Wen Yantong encouraged himself.
"Accumulated over time? Are you planning to practice until your beard turns gray?"
"As long as I can practice the rhyme of Xiao Hou Ye's words to two or three points, I am willing to spend any amount of time." Wen Yantong said.
Chi Jingxi choked suddenly. If Wen Yantong was simply arguing with him, he would still have a reason to be disgraced, but the bad thing was that she was holding him while arguing, which really made him unable to answer the conversation.
Chi Jingxi pondered for a while, and finally returned the topic to the original point, and said angrily, "Wen Yantong, you are so courageous! How dare you lie to me!"
Wen Yantong: "..." Is this cheating
Seeing that Yantong lowered his head again and pretended to admit his mistake, Chi Jingxi snorted and said, "This is the last time, if I find you deliberately lying again next time, I will knock out two of your sharp teeth. Let's see how you lie."
Wen Yantong immediately understood that Chi Jingxi didn't intend to pursue it anymore, and immediately responded, "Yes, yes."
Chi Jingxi stood up and walked in front of Wen Yantong. Compared with the low pressure when he just entered the door, he was in a much better mood now. When he walked to her side, he paused, "From now on, don't appear in front of me to be an eyesore."
Wen Yantong didn't respond, he thought to himself that I don't agree to this, how can I hug my thigh if I don't come in front of you.
After Chi Jingxi finished speaking, she went out, leaving Wen Yantong alone in the room, and then she completely relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
Chi Jingxi's rank is really high! The original book always emphasizes that he is violent and vicious, almost making people forget that this person is not generally smart.
In fact, Wen Yantong's lie just now is easy to see through, as long as he is a little more careful. But the scary thing about Chi Jingxi is that his brain thinks and reacts extremely fast, and he may even have the answer before Wen Yantong lied.
So when Wen Yantong told a lie, he already knew that she was lying.
Wen Yantong wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and secretly sighed that if he faced Shangchi Jingxi next time, he would have to be more energetic and vigilant.
He is not at the same level as those masters in the academy.
Mrs. Zhao was so foolish, he just cried a few times and believed everything he said.
Wen Yantong sighed, at this moment he thought of Mrs. Zhao's good news.
Just as she was thinking, Huamo hurried in from outside the door. As soon as she entered, she was startled by Wen Yantong, who was standing next to the door, and shivered. She held her heart and took a few steps back, "My mother!"
Wen Yantong looked confused, "What's wrong, Master Hua?"
Huamo rubbed her frightened heart, "Why are you standing here so well!"
Wen Yantong wanted to say that it was not a good one, but that he was almost taken over by Chi Jingxi. But his lips moved and finally he didn't say anything, just said, "Punishment to stand."
After hearing this, Huamo stared and said, "Young Master, have you been here?"
She was also surprised, "You know he's coming?"
Huamo quickly explained, "I didn't know it at first. I heard Mr. Zhao said that few people come to these rest rooms, and the young master never set foot in these places, so I wanted to arrange you here."
"Then why is he here today?" Wen Yantong wondered.
Hua Mo said, "I just heard about it too. It is said that Miss Fu's sixth lady accidentally fell on the young master, and the face powder rubbed onto the clothes, leaving a smell of powder, and the young master immediately Order someone to bring new clothes here to change."
Wen Yantong thought that when Chi Jingxi came in, his complexion was not very good-looking, and he changed into a light yellow dress before going out. He thinks what Huamo heard must be true.
He said angrily, "Does Fu Shi do the splits while walking? How could he fall on someone else? It's still the young master!"
Huamo also sighed, "It's all the tricks of little girls, it's really a joke."
Wen Yantong was so angry that she knocked on the ground twice with a crutch, thinking that it was so unlucky, this shit could also happen to her!
Huamo patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think too much about it, we'll be on stage soon, let's get ready first."
The most important thing at the moment is to complete the banquet first, Wen Yantong set the priorities, so he followed Huamo to the Eight Pillar Hall without saying a word.
When I went there, I saw a group of beautifully dressed girls gathering in the room, some were trying the piano, and some were chit chatting.
Only that Fu Shi sat in the corner and wiped the strings, his movements were gentle, as if isolated from other people.
Wen Yantong blindly guessed that Fu Shi couldn't participate in the chat because these girls were making fun of her falling on Chi Jingxi.
Just kidding, no matter how bad-tempered Chi Jingxi is, he is still a prominent young master, a serious young man with a jade face, and I don't know how many noble girls in Chaoge are looking forward to marrying him.
Isn't Fu Shi acting so rashly just to provoke public anger
Wen Yantong chose to ignore it, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stared at by the girls in the room, causing a burst of exclamation.
She lowered her head to hide it, and this awkward appearance made people think that she was embarrassed to show her face. Huamo kindly rescued her and led her to a corner. After I went there, I saw two Xi Qins on the table.
There is one that Wen Yantong ordered others to buy casually, and he doesn't cherish it very much on weekdays, and the piano bar is pinched and black. The other one is very brand new, with a mahogany body and a snakeskin top, it looks like a precious thing at first glance.
Wen Yantong was startled, and was about to ask, when Huamo came over and said, "This is from a student named Fu Zixian, I'll name it for you."
Wen Yantong was surprised at first, but then realized that this was probably Fu Tang's farewell. She always thought that Wen Yantong blocked the carriage so that the carriage did not hit the wall, and she was grateful to Wen Yantong for saving her life.
Although Wen Yantong explained that it was just to escape, Fu Tanghuan was still serious and always sent things to her.
Wen Yantong touched the mahogany Xiqin, feeling very excited, tried it twice with the bow, and immediately hugged the qin without letting go, and carried it directly to the stage.
Before taking the stage, Fu Shi didn't know where she came from, stood beside her, and suddenly reached out to touch the mahogany Xiqin.
Wen Yantong looked at her suspiciously, and subconsciously moved Xi Qin back.
"This is what the third sister gave you?" Fu Shi smiled with his eyes bent.
"No." Wen Yantong said, "It was given to me by Master Fu. Didn't you see it when he sent it over just now?"
Fu Shi's smile didn't change, "I've only been here for a while."
No, I was thinking about how to fall on Chi Jingxi, so naturally I didn't have time to come so early.
Wen Yantong lowered his eyelids, slandering in his heart.
"You want to bring this new piano to the stage?" Fu Shi saw that she responded coldly, but she didn't leave wisely, instead she continued to talk.
Wen Yantong glanced at her and knew that she still had a second sentence.
Sure enough, Fu Shi pointed at the old violin and said, "You are used to practicing that violin on weekdays. When you come to the stage to change to a new violin, don't you feel unfamiliar?"
Wen Yantong thought for a while after hearing this, and didn't want to understand what she meant, so he smirked and said, "It doesn't matter, the more expensive things are, the better. You look at the piano and see that you are not ordinary. Since you are going to be on stage, you naturally want to buy it." Use something good."
Contempt flashed in Fu Shi's eyes, and he smiled at her again, turned and left without saying anything. Wen Yantong looked at her back and felt that this was not an easy matter.
But before she could think about it, it was time to go on stage. Huamo took her crutches and helped her up herself.
The stage for the performance was wide enough and not too close to the auditorium. After Wen Yantong went up, she felt that there was a dense darkness sitting underneath. If she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see her face clearly.
She was arranged in the middle by Huamo, and the rest of the girls were arranged in a trapezoid, symmetrical left and right, staggered front and back, and everyone could be seen by the audience.
Huamo squeezed her wrist secretly, and said in a low voice, "Be serious, success or failure depends on it."
Wen Yantong was not in any mood at first, but she was a little nervous when she mentioned it.
She rubbed the sweat in her palms and nodded to Huamo.
Not only Wen Yantong, other girls on the stage were also very nervous, some even trembled. She also saw one of the girls whose hands were shaking like an epileptic, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, his mood eased a little, touching the good Xi Qin, Wen Yantong felt confident.
Huamo hid at the side of the stage, staring closely at the first few people from the Hanlin Academy below the stage, feeling extremely uneasy.
The old man sitting in the middle is the source of Wen Yantong wearing women's clothing. He had heard some rumors that men and women were mixed in the guqin competition, so he collected his pen and ink to find fault. He opened a pair of bright eyes and carefully looked around among the girls on the stage, but he didn't see the shadow of the man.
Four lamps on the stage lit up again, illuminating the entire stage incomparably gorgeously. The gold ink gauze dress worn by Wen Yantong shone brightly under the light, as long as she moved, the fine light It's astonishing as it flows slowly.
The sound of the guqin sounded at the same time, and the peaceful music flowed in the hall. The originally noisy hall gradually quieted down, and the sound of the qin became louder and clearer.
The pure sound from the strings, and this piece is mainly in a slow tone, giving people a feeling of eloquence, which is easy to calm people's hearts.
When the melody was halfway through, all the girls tuned in at the same time, the sound of the guqin stopped abruptly, and the hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone in the audience was stunned, they didn't expect it to end so suddenly.
Wen Yantong looked down at the mahogany Xiqin in his hand, tapped his fingertips on the piano bar, silently counting the beats in his heart, while Huamo was also staring nervously at the back.
The beats in their hearts were the same, Huamo clapped her hands when the last beat fell, fearing that Wen Yantong would miss the beat. But before the sound of that palm came down, Wen Yantong had already lifted the bow, and when the fine bowstrings touched each other, there was an honest and honest sound.
The emotion contained in Xi Qin's voice is much deeper than that of Gu Qin, not to mention the song "Outside the Long Pavilion" itself contains deep emotions.
Wen Yantong played very seriously, the sound of the piano was in his ears, and he didn't hear the compliments from the audience.
The main hall is specially equipped with a sound transmission device, which diffuses the sound of the piano layer by layer, so that everyone can hear it clearly.
Mu Yang gasped in shock, "I never thought our academy could play Xi Qin so well."
Cheng Xin smiled and said, "Don't you think it looks familiar?"
After hearing this, Mu Yang took a closer look, "Don't tell me, it looks familiar, who is this person?"
"It's the dwarf who taught you how to draw old man Ding." Chi Jingxi crossed his arms, and although he didn't have a good impression of Wen Yantong, he said to the point, "This hand piano skill is really good, and finally one end catches the eye."
Mu Yang suddenly widened his eyes and blinked vigorously, "I heard that right, this is Wen Yantong?"
Cheng Xin knocked on his head, "Be quieter."
Mu Yang covered his head and lowered his voice, "How could he be dressed like this... This is too sissy!"
Chi Jingxi's eyes flicked over the sleeves sprinkled with golden ink gauze, and said, "This dwarf is indeed spooky, and his behavior is incomprehensible."
Cheng Xin turned his head to the seat next to him and glanced at the few officials of the Imperial Academy who were intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and said in a low voice, "Perhaps it was a helpless move."
When Wen Yantong's solo came to an end, the piano sounds of other girls immediately picked up. The last section is a combined piece of music. The interlacing of Guqin and Xiqin has become the key point of ups and downs, and the curtain ends at the most exciting place, which has become the unfinished wish of everyone.
Applause and applause erupted from the audience, and the girls stepped off the stage one by one with red faces and high emotions. Huamo hurried up to help Wen Yantong down, took the mahogany piano, and returned the crutches to her.
Huamo kept praising her, so Wen Yantong didn't even have a chance to thank her. She scratched her head and said humbly, "Master Hua's Guqin music is also very nice."
Huamo was very happy, and wanted to chat with Wen Yantong, but suddenly heard a girl's exclamation in the room, and the two looked at the same time.
I saw a girl violently grabbing something on the table, sweeping it to the ground, and everyone around her stepped aside.
One of the girls said, "Sister Lanlan, don't worry, you may bump into something."
The girl called Sister Lanlan had an extremely bad tone, "It's not that you lost something, so naturally you don't worry!"
Seeing this, Huamo immediately walked over and asked, "What's wrong? What's missing?"
Wen Yantong stretched his neck to watch the excitement. The girl called Sister Lanlan seemed to have a hot temper, and she said to Huamo, "I put the bracelet in the corner of the table before going on stage, but it disappeared when I got down, someone must have stolen my bracelet! Thinking that there are people with dirty hands and feet in the academy!"
Hua Mo said, "Don't worry, first tell me what your bracelet looks like."
"White jade bracelet with fine golden stripes on it, wrapped in red cloth."
Hua Fuzi thought for a while and said, "You search this room carefully first, I will report this matter to the academy, if it is really stolen, I will deal with it severely."
"If you catch him, master, please hand him over to my father for disposal. It just so happens that my father is also from the Ministry of Punishment. He has some tricks to prevent that person from stealing!" the woman said sternly.
Wen Yantong pouted, guessing the identity of this person. It should be the concubine daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, named Wang Lan. This girl is the only girl in the family, so even if she is a concubine, she is quite favored, so her temper is a bit arrogant.
"Could it be that Fu Shi took it? I saw her leave when I went back to the room just now..." someone whispered.
Wang Lan shouted immediately, "Fu Shi? She usually sees that I am not going well. Could it be that she really took my things?!"
After hearing this, Huamo's face became very serious, and she said fiercely, "Who will allow you to doubt without evidence?"
The girl who doubted Fu Shi shut her mouth with an ugly face.
The other girls in the room also helped to find them. Huamo handed the package to Wen Yantong and said, "Go and change your clothes first, and then just go and sit in the hall. The last part of the first snow feast is the main point." It's recorded, you don't want to be absent."
After Wen Yantong took the package and answered it, he stopped joining in the fun, turned around and went out through the side door, and then entered the rest room next to the hall.
It's just that this time she didn't dare to enter Chi Jingxi's room again, but chose a room with no lights on. It was dark inside and there was no heater. The brocade cloth wiped off all the makeup on his face.
He tied the package to his crutches and was about to leave when he heard a loud slap. Wen Yantong heard it clearly, turned around and walked towards the window.
Behind the rest room is a small forest, and no one goes to that kind of place on weekdays. But just now she heard the sound of a big ear scratching, which meant that someone was making trouble there.
When she walked to the window, she heard Fu Shi's voice, with a disgusting arrogance in her tone, "Don't think about what's not yours, take it out!"
Wen Yantong's heart skipped a beat, and he quietly opened the window a crack, peeping with one eye.
He saw Fu Zixian standing opposite Fu Shi with his head down, handing out a long black box. His face was facing Wen Yantong's, allowing her to see the eye-catching red marks on his face.
Fu Shi is beating Fu Zixian? ! Wen Yantong was startled all of a sudden, suffocating for breath.
Fu Zixian was an extremely unfavorable child in the Fu family. His mother was a low-status Tong Fang who died of dystocia when giving birth to him. He has always been a dispensable existence in the prime minister's mansion. So a few days ago, when he said that he was rewarded by his father, Wen Yantong was slightly puzzled.
It's just that Fu Shi dared to offer his hands to Fu Zi in the academy. And judging by Fu Zixian's appearance, it's not like he was bullied by her once or twice.
Fu Shi snatched the long box in her hands, and said with a sneer, "This pen is what my father wanted to reward Yu'er! If you hadn't come back in the shepherd's carriage that day, who would have looked at you more? You don't even know the size. Grab Yu'er's stuff!"
Fu Zixian lowered his head, allowing Fu Shi to humiliate him. Wen Yantong looked extremely distressed, but she also knew that this was a family matter of the Fu family, and she was a commoner, so she had no right to take care of it.
She turned around and left very lightly, instead of going to the main hall, she returned to the room. In the room, Wang Lan was still looking for the lost bracelet, but she couldn't find it, which made her very anxious.
Wen Yantong walked past her on crutches, as if talking to himself, "It's strange, Fu Shi is walking in such a hurry, what is he going to do?"
When Wang Lan heard this, she suddenly stopped and grabbed Wen Yantong's crutch, "What did you say!"
Wen Yantong pretended to be afraid, shrank his neck, and stuttered, "I, I just saw Fu Shi holding something and going to the small forest behind. Maybe, maybe it's something to bury."
Wang Lan didn't ask any more questions, and rushed out of the door in a huff, followed by the girls behind.
Wen Yantong followed out the side door, and saw several girls heading towards Xiaolinzi, she turned around and walked into the main hall.
There were many people sitting in the main hall, but Chi Jingxi and others were the first in the middle, so they were easy to find.
With everyone's eyes on her, she quickly walked to the side of the leader, and shouted, "Mu Yang."
Mu Yang was discussing something with Cheng Xin, when he heard the voice, he immediately turned his head, saw that it was Wen Yantong, a smile burst on his face, "You today..."
Wen Yantong interrupted him, "Didn't you always want to know how I hit the bull's-eye? I remembered the secret."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up awkwardly. Chi Jingxi on the side also raised his eyes, looking at her suspiciously.
The author has something to say: Wen Yantong: Debaters from the other side, please follow the rules.
Chi Jingxi: [beep—]
Wen Yantong: Good luck +1+1+1
