The sound of the piano at my daughter's house has always been more tender and more lingering. Qu Qingju leaned on the back of the chair, gently rubbing the edge of the cup with her index finger, watching the petals fall in Qu Yuesu's hair, and when the spring breeze blew, they rose one after another. Fall, with a kind of indescribable charm.
Because of her occupation in her previous life, she likes to admire beauties of various colors. The beauty in plain clothes with long hair fluttering under the rain is a beautiful painting, not to mention the beautiful sound of the piano.
"The light rain in Tianjie is as smooth as crisp, and the color of grass is far away but there is nothing close. It is the most benefit of spring, and it is absolutely better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital." The song has a perfect ending.
Everyone around woke up from the music, some applauded and some praised, but no one mentioned that this concubine was originally the daughter of the grandfather's mansion.
"Beautiful people and beautiful songs," He Heng complied with a half-smile, playing with the wine glass in his hand, "Okay."
"It's a blessing for her to be praised by the second brother. Although Mrs. Qu is only the concubine of this king, she is also the sister of the second sister-in-law, so she can call the second brother your brother-in-law." He Yuan raised his glass to He Heng with a smile. , "The wine is more beautiful, let's have another drink."
He Ming, who was sitting on He Heng's right hand, was a little offended when he heard this. He glanced at the concubine who was sitting beside the piano, and then at the second brother, frowning. The third brother was deliberately embarrassing the second brother. Can't do it
"The third brother is joking," He Heng laughed instead of being angry, he glanced at Qu Yuesu indifferently, "The third brother is willing to let his concubine play a song for us all, so that we can see what a beautiful song is. Even more beautiful, the second brother should give you a toast." This Qu Yuesu was the daughter of the grandfather's mansion before she got married, but now in your Prince Rui's mansion, you love to show your own woman, and you don't think it's ashamed to have anything to do with him. , what is he afraid of
After saying this, He Heng deliberately turned his head to He Ming next to him and said, "Fourth brother, do you think it's time for us to respect the elders?"
With an ignorant expression on his face, He Ming raised his wine glass and said with a naive smile, "Fool brother toast third brother, thank you third brother for such warm hospitality."
"You don't have to be so polite, it's just a concubine, what's there to bear?" He Yuan drank the glass of wine with a smile, but the fire in his heart burned.
"Haha, what the third brother said makes sense, drink and drink." He Heng raised his glass and laughed, and greeted everyone present to drink together.
Under the pear tree, Qu Yuesu's fingernails pierced the palm of her hand, and a drop of bright red blood dripped on the Jiaoweiqin. Her fingertips as white as jade wiped away the drop of blood heavily. The "House of Flying Daggers" popped up.
"'House of Flying Daggers' is full of murderous aura and is full of crises, but the tune of the side concubine in your house is very good," He Guinian took a sip of tea and looked at the woman playing the song with a smile, "This The girl is splendid in writing, beautiful as a flower, and she can play the piano well, no wonder the third brother wants Baba to return to the house."
So what if you have so much ability, isn't it still shameless to be someone else's concubine? Qin Bai glanced at He Guinian with a smile on his face, and finally his eyes fell on Qu Qing Ju, "That's not the case, not to mention the prince, even I like to listen to her songs on weekdays. This sister-in-law's younger sister, Truly a rare woman in the world."
When Qu Qing Ju heard this, she sighed: "It's the third uncle and the third younger brother and sister, you are lucky, before I left the cabinet, the third sister lived with the stepmother, and it was difficult for us to even see each other on weekdays, let alone admire the third sister. I have mastered the qin skills. Now I have come to the house of my younger brother and sister, and I have such a blessing. Anyway, I still have to thank the third younger brother and sister, otherwise I will not have much chance to listen to the third younger sister's piano music in my life." She smiled. With emotion, "It can be seen that you are still lucky to have such a good helper to take care of the third uncle for you."
After He Guinian heard Qu Qingju's remarks, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as expected of the second brother and sister, and the second brother was really a match made in heaven, and even his words were so murderous without blood.
She tilted her head and saw that Qin Bailu's face had changed. Which woman would not feel good when she heard such words. Which woman would like to have a talented concubine to split her husband
"Thank you second sister-in-law, I hope that second sister-in-law will have such good luck in the future," Qin Bailu took a sip from the teacup, trying his best to make the smile on his face seem natural.
"This kind of good fortune is not something that everyone can have, so I won't expect it," Qu Qing Ju said with a full smile, "But it's useless just to enjoy the music, the three younger siblings might as well invite some beautiful women to dance with them, then It's called joy."
Qin Bailu squeezed out a two-point smile: "The dancer has already been prepared. Since the second sister-in-law wants to enjoy the beautiful dance, my brother and sister will let the people below prepare."
She really thinks that Prince Rui's mansion is a theater, so she can order whatever she wants to see? Qin Bailu signaled to let the originally prepared program proceed as planned, and soon there were dancers in snow-colored green waist skirts appearing in the yard, and many musicians were playing music, which made the whole yard look very lively.
When the atmosphere became more and more lively, Qu Qing Ju glanced at the male guests on the opposite side. These men were either pushing cups for a change, or holding silver chopsticks to beat the street shots, and somehow they remembered "Pipa Xing" by Bai Juyi. , which reads "The silver grate on the head of the tin is broken, the blood-colored skirt is stained with wine. This year's laughter will return to the next year, and the autumn moon and spring breeze will be leisurely." This is probably the case, luxury and corruption. Men are greedy for freshness and beauty, but women's youth is so short. After the youth is over, where is the heart of the king
After most of the singing and dancing, He Yuan pointed to the dancer who was leading the dance, "Second brother, what do you think of this beauty?"
He Heng glanced at He Yuan with a smile, and said slowly, "In terms of appearance, it's natural to be outstanding, but it's not what I like."
He Yuan, who had been waiting for the other party to praise the beauty before sending the beauty out, did not expect that He Heng would say such a sentence.
"As soon as Fang sees it, his heart is happy, it is for me," He Heng put down the wine glass in his hand, took out his brother's gesture and said earnestly, "Third brother, no matter how many beautiful women are, it's just icing on the cake, and a man should not be too much. Too greedy for beauty. The so-called beauty mound, a happy nest, is the easiest to kill a man’s ambition. When I am young, it is better to spend more energy on political affairs, which can be regarded as sharing the worries for the father and the emperor.”
The beauty didn't send it out, but He Yuan, who was taught a lesson, could hardly hold back the smile on his face, and put the wine glass in his hand on the table, "Second brother taught me that these people are just for fun, and they can't be taken seriously. , let the second brother worry, it's the younger brother's."
"I know you've always been sensible, I just said a few words in vain." After speaking, he raised his glass with a smile, "Come, drink."
He Ming's eyes widened as he watched the second brother push the beauty out like this, and even taught the third brother a lesson. His admiration for the second brother came spontaneously in his heart, and he was indeed the second brother.
The fact that King Rui wanted to send Duanwang's beauties while he was enjoying the singing and dancing came to Qu Qingju's ears when everyone was having lunch together. She did not change her face, but said generously, "If you have a beautiful woman, It's a good thing."
"It's a pity that you won't be able to bring this beauty home," He Guinian smiled and wiped the water off his hands, then looked at Qu Qing Ju and said, "My second brother said, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, it's just icing on the cake. It's enough to have one's heart, and he also said that men should focus more on political affairs."
A group of female relatives next to her envied Qu Qingju's good fortune. One said that King Rui acted generously, and the other said that King Duan was diligent. Both families praised him, and even He Guinian was praised for having two good younger brothers.
Listening to these people's words, Qu Qing Ju couldn't help but think that poor He Xiaosi was forgotten by these female relatives again.
Qin Bailu looked at Qu Qingju with a happy smile on his face, the sourness in his heart almost filled his throat, she was obviously born taller than Qu Qingju, even more talented than her, and her husband was more favored by his father than her husband. Doting, but why is she better than herself everywhere, her mother-in-law treats her gently, her husband loves her more, and even her clothes and jewelry are more luxurious than her
Obviously he should be the one who is more proud of himself, right? Besides being two points prettier than her, where else could Qu Qing Ju compare to her
It's really unfair, such a vulgar woman can get such a good life, why can't she get the love of her husband, the satisfaction of her mother-in-law, and even fight with the concubines in the backyard who can't make it to the stage man
"Second sister-in-law is so beautiful, how can you compare to those vulgar fans," Qin Bailu said, "It's right that King Duan doesn't look down on those dancers."
This sounds like a bragging, why is it not so right? Qu Qing Ju looked at Qin Bailu with a smile, "The third younger sister's words really make me feel ashamed, the eldest sister just made fun of me, you are here again, our women's youth is only a few years old, what beauty is not beautiful, That's all."
Many of the girls present have been married for many years. When they heard Qu Qingju's words, they couldn't help but feel a little sigh. Duan Wangfei's words were true. Husband has nothing to say, so beauty can only be enjoyed for a while, how can it be good for a long time
In the west courtyard, Qu Yuesu calmly watched Yaoxi bandaging her wound, listened to the laughter and laughter in front of her, and smiled bitterly: "Today I have lost all face." Now, it is too late for her to regret it.
"Miss!" Yaoxi said with red eyes, "Miss, don't think too much, you still have a long life in the future."
"Yeah, it's long." Qu Yuesu stared at the half-opened door, as if thinking of the conversation between Duan Wang and the prince just now. It turned out that she was just a thing.
thing…
