The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 423
"Xiyan from my family has seen you young masters!" Xiyan bowed to everyone sitting outside, then sat down and put the piano on the piano table.

"Miss Xiyan, don't be too polite. I have heard for a long time that Miss Xiyan is superb at the piano, and she is also quite accomplished in painting and calligraphy. I wonder if I am honored to invite you to play a song?"

Yu Ting also admired Miss Xiyan very much. Since Xiyan came over just now, she has been watching intently until the girl sits behind the gauze curtain.

Naturally, Huang Junheng also wanted to listen to the beautiful sound of the piano, so he straightened up and echoed: "I invited the girl to a banquet not long ago, but the girl just happened to be unavailable. Today, the girl should play two more pieces."

Min Feng had seen it once when he was participating in a poetry meeting. It was far away and there were many officials and eunuchs present, so he couldn't move forward even if he wanted to.

Among them, Zhu Pang was the most wolfish. He stood up, stroked the robe on his body, and said solemnly: "Miss Xiyan, I have admired Qing for a long time, and I invite you..."

Zhu Pang blushed, "Play a few more pieces."

Gu Chengyu stroked his forehead, is this guy still drunk?

The people present at first thought that Zhu Pang was going to express his feelings, but finally realized that he was cowardly, and they all burst into laughter.

Zhu Pang almost wanted to wipe away his tears. He had just learned about his fiancée last night, and he endured it until the early morning.As soon as the dawn broke, he went to Gu Chengyu's residence, looking for comfort.Who would have thought that Gu Chengyu had already left the house.

He had no choice but to bother Zheng Lun at the Hou Mansion. He knew that Zheng Lun came out of the examination room later and his body was worse than Gu Chengyu's, but he couldn't help it!

Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, she had seen Mr. Zhu before, and his temper was a little frank.

Seeing that all the sons and brothers present are in high spirits, Xiyan is very proud.The girls sitting there were all envious and jealous. They were usually servants in Israel, unlike Xi Yan, who could make these young masters flock to her.

"Thanks to everyone not giving up, then Xiyan will show her shame." His eyes glanced at everyone present, but he found that Gu Cheng Yusui was smiling and very calm.

Hua Lian poured a glass of wine, and brought it to Gu Chengyu's lips.Gu Chengyu hurriedly dodged to the side, martial arts practitioners have very keen senses, and they are always on high alert when others approach suddenly.

Gu Chengyu turned around and saw that it was the little girl just now, and hurriedly took the wine glass with his right hand, "It's good for the girl to enjoy the sound of the piano, and I'll do this kind of rough work by myself."

Hua Lian bit her lips when she heard that, she was still a baby, and Mother Hua pulled her here temporarily to make up the numbers.This period of time is being trained, and she has already predicted that the day when she will receive guests is not far away.

She is just a little bit pretty, and compared to Miss Xiyan, she is quite different.However, fortunately, she is quite weak, boneless, and charming, which can be regarded as arousing pity.

Therefore, she often practiced Xizi's gesture of holding his heart in front of the mirror, hoping to win the love and affection of these young masters.

Who would have thought that Mr. Gu was very ungrateful, when she first entered the flower hall, she noticed this Mr. who was about her age.This person stands out from the crowd, with a graceful posture, it can be seen that he is a well-educated noble son.

She squeezed away the girls around her, and walked quickly to Mr. Gu's side.

He thought that serving this elegant and noble young master well would be good if he could redeem her, even if he was a roommate or a concubine.

Hua Lian felt depressed for a while, but she was wishful thinking.

Seeing this, Xi Yan snorted coldly in her heart, Hua Lian's heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper, who among these young masters would have sincerity?

As everyone knows, why is she not like this?

Sitting down in front of the piano table, Xiyan put her hands on the strings.

The slippery piano sound has a long charm, and the lingering sound is endless.Gu Chengyu was also attracted by the sound of the qin. This guqin should be a famous product. When the strings are plucked, it sounds like gold and stone, and the tone is pure.

A "High Mountain and Flowing Water" is a famous song handed down from the predecessors.Anyone who learns the piano will practice this piece of music, and only those who practice well are rare.

The melody is divided into nine sections. At this moment, Xiyan is playing the first section. The melody is constantly jumping and changing ranges, and the top of the mountain can be seen, erratic and cloud-shrouded. Gu Chengyu can't help but nod.

He also learned guqin and xiao in Guozijian, and he can play "High Mountain and Flowing Water" naturally, but compared with the two, he is still a little inferior.

This is not unusual, this is Xiyan's special skill, he is not as good as it, and he is not discouraged, this is just a taste of leisure time!

The sound of the piano is clanging, a song!Everyone is still intoxicated by it, unable to extricate themselves!

It was still Huang Junheng who was the host, and only then did he come to his senses. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of today. This is a poetry meeting, and playing the piano can only be used to add to the fun.

"Miss Xiyan's piano sound is really beautiful, and we are so intoxicated by it that we can't extricate ourselves. However, today is a poetry meeting, let's compose a few poems first to meet the occasion. Miss Xiyan also rested here for a while, just in time Comment on your poems."

"Young Master Huang is absurd. My family only has a superficial understanding of poetry. Everyone here is a well-known talent. How dare a little girl play tricks? I just want to read your masterpieces. It would be a great honor if I could get some calligraphy."

Xiyan has not forgotten the purpose of coming today, and besides, Gu Jieyuan is here today, she also wants to see if Gu Jieyuan is in vain.If there is the beauty of Duke Zhou's talent, it would not be in vain for her to come here today.

"Extremely! I also appreciate the sound of the piano, so let's start the poetry meeting! According to my observation, the peony in front of the court is blooming just right. Why don't we use peony as the theme? How about everyone show their talents?"

Yu Ting became even more interested when he saw that he was back to the topic.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the peony outside the court, and it was true that the flowers were in full bloom.Perhaps the temperature here is slightly higher than other places, and the peony flowers are large and beautiful, with different colors interspersed together, each with its own charm.

"Brother Yu is right, if I'm the host today, why don't I start by throwing bricks and attracting jade."

Huang Junheng quickly responded, he had written several peony poems before.Because I often come to Tianxiang Pavilion, it is natural that peony poems are indispensable, so I just choose one of them.

"Brother Huang, don't be modest. Who doesn't know that Brother Huang is one of the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River? Brother Huang has a good knowledge of people, and even published several volumes of poetry anthology."

Yan Huan is also a well-known student in Beidi, who is good at composing Fu.It's just that Huang Junheng has gotten quite close recently, so he came to respond with a few words.

Huang Junheng ordered the girl next to him to bring the four treasures of the study on the desk over there, and spread paper and ink for him.

"Wait a minute! Just reciting poems is a little boring, why don't we have some prizes?" Yu Ting shook the folding fan in his hand, pretending to be romantic.

"Huh? This method is wonderful. I wonder if Brother Yu has any suggestions? Why don't you tell me." Yu Ting said, and Yang Haomiao, his follower, immediately nodded in praise.

Even the rest of the students found it interesting and agreed.

Yu Ting smiled and said nothing at first, and then was urged to say a few words by everyone, so he didn't tell the truth and said the solution.

"Since we are accompanied by a beauty today, we still have to be accompanied by Miss Xiyan. We can't let the beauty sit idle, can we? Why don't we invite Miss Xiyan to participate, I wonder if she would like it?"

Yu Ting cupped his hands towards the gauze curtain, and smiled, but there was a little desire in his eyes.
