the first lady

Chapter 42

Feng smiled lightly, without forcing, but poured a glass for Zong Zhengyan.

"Mrs. Zongzheng, I would like to offer you a toast." Feng Qing held up the wine glass and made a toast gesture.

Lan Feng had poured a cup of tea for Qiao Ling'er before, and she held the cup, "My concubine uses tea instead of wine, please forgive me, Mr. Feng. Please!"

"Please!" Feng Qing gulped it down.

The slightly bitter tea made Qiao Ling'er show a very shallow ironic smile, and asked straightforwardly: "I wonder if Mr. Feng has anything else to discuss?"

Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, dissatisfied with her straightforwardness, could it be that he annoys her so much now, and she doesn't want to see him so much?

"Madam Zongzheng, do you know who the Snow Island Lord is?" Feng asked calmly and lazily.

"Huh?" Qiao Linger looked at him puzzled.

"The personality of Lord Snow Island is unknown to anyone, and it is rumored that he is bloodthirsty and cruel on his own." Feng Qing said lightly, took a sip of his wine and continued: "Madam Zongzheng has a deep friendship with him now, so be careful! "

The wine glass made a slight sound when it hit the table, making this seemingly quiet place even quieter.

Isn't Zong Zhengyan completely ignorant of Fengqing's thoughts, is he caring about his second sister-in-law?But judging from how many times he has embarrassed her and disdain her, it is a bit far-fetched to say that he will care about her.

Even though the current Qiao Linger is very different from the previous Qiao Linger, she is still Qiao Linger in essence, isn't she?
Qiao Ling'er squinted her eyes before saying: "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for reminding me, I have my own discretion."

A sentence of Mr. Feng and a sentence of concubine made Feng Qing's eyes sink, and his heart seemed to be blocked.

"Madame Zongzheng, thank you for giving up this batch of porcelain. You are welcome, please use it." Feng Qing glanced at the delicate dishes on the table, and said politely.

Qiao Ling'er chuckled: "Young Master Feng is polite, even if Master Snow and Master Feng do business, it is an exchange of equal value; Lord Snow Island gave this batch of porcelain to my concubine, and it was my concubine who picked up the pies that fell from the sky. Trading with Mr. Feng is really a fluke, so it's useless to keep it as a concubine, isn't it?"

A few words easily dispelled Feng Qing's desire to have a deeper friendship, and every sentence was true.

"Come on, Qing, I'll toast you for my second sister-in-law." Zong Zhengyan sensed the slight embarrassment between Feng Qing and Qiao Ling'er, of course it was only Feng Qing's embarrassment, so he raised his glass to toast.

"Okay!" Feng greeted lightly.

What Qiao Linger ate this time was tasteless, and she didn't have the time to ponder over Feng Qing's thoughts, let alone have a deep friendship.If he showed her some good looks after she crossed over, maybe she would have a better impression of him.But now...she would never look back at an unworthy man!Not to mention his reputation abroad, it is completely incomparable to her current minister, Zong Zhengyi.

If it was Zong Zhengyi, even if it was a treat, he probably wouldn't invite such a sumptuous meal!What a waste!
After dinner, Qiao Ling'er walked around Liuyun Garden, and asked Ning Xiang to take out the piano when she could sit down without feeling uncomfortable.

In this era without computers and TVs, life is extremely boring. She can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and the only thing she can use to pass the time and amuse herself is Qin.

Relying on the impressions in her mind and the feeling in her hands, she was able to play the general music very accurately, but the music score left by Yun Zhongyue made her very troubled.

It's not that she can't understand some places, but she can't comprehend them, and she will always break.

Ningxiang and Lanfeng were all by Qiao Linger's side. Listening to her piano sound was a kind of enjoyment, but she herself didn't have any sense of pride, and she was still focused on the place she couldn't figure out.

After breaking off for the third time, Ning Xiang finally couldn't help but said: "Miss, is there something wrong with this score?"

"There will be no problem." Qiao Ling'er said with certainty.

"But you still can't learn it after studying for so long!" Ning Xiang pursed her mouth.

Qiao Ling'er smiled slightly and shook her head slightly: "Ningxiang, your lady is not omnipotent, so what's so strange about encountering a piece of music that you can't play?"

"Miss's piano skills are unparalleled in the world, there must be mistakes in the music score, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for Miss to fail to play!" Ning Xiang put all the responsibility on Yun Zhongyue's music score, wholeheartedly adhering to the fact that Miss's piano skills are number one in the world!

Qiao Linger decided to try again if she didn't reply to Ningxiang's words. If it didn't work, she would have nothing to do, and she would definitely agree with Ningxiang's words: there is a problem with the score.

The quiet music swayed melodiously in the quiet night, facing the cool wind, it was fascinating.

Qiao Ling'er was sitting in the center of the courtyard, the bright moonlight shrouded her body, coating her with a layer of silver, and she looked a little hazy, like a celestial being.

After a short time, Qiao Ling'er encountered the bottleneck again, her brows could not help but frowned slightly, and she wanted to use her fingers to pick apart the string, but she subconsciously didn't know which finger to use or which string to move.

Here's a high note, she throws in the towel...

However, just when she was about to give up, two other hands suddenly appeared above hers, lightly plucked a few strings, and immediately raised her voice to an unprecedented level.

pass……

Qiao Ling'er was a little dazed, her fingers were moving subconsciously, and the hand next to her was also accompaniment to her, with high notes all the way down, but this time it was smoother than ever before.

Until the last part, I saw four hands fiddled with the strings in a disorderly manner, and the listeners completely forgot to think.

In this world, there is such a beautiful melody!

genius!Whoever created this tune is an absolute genius!

The plain hands fluttered, and the last sound fell. Ningxiang, Lanfeng, Qingye and Yueying couldn't recover for a long time.

One is the seamless playing that shocked the cooperation of two people. Throughout the ages, there have never been two people playing on the same piano at the same time; the other is because the men and women in the middle of the courtyard are surrounded by moonlight, so harmonious, as if the most beautiful in the world The thing is here.

The corner of Qiao Ling'er's mouth raised a joyful smile. This song...it turned out that the reason why she couldn't complete it by herself was because she didn't have a trusted partner!

There is a faint fragrance covering the tip of the nose, the man's body temperature seems to be able to be transmitted, and the man's clear breathing sound can be heard next to the ears.

When Qiao Linger turned her head too far, she happened to meet Zong Zhengyi's eyes. Those obsidian-like eyes exuded a black luster, which made her heart stop beating immediately.

Seeing Qiao Ling'er like this, Zong Zhengyi was also slightly taken aback. At that moment, everything seemed to be outside his body, and she was the only one left in the whole world...

The other people didn't speak, just looked at the two people who looked at each other and were a little absorbed, like a couple of gods and gods, which was admirable.

After a while, Qiao Ling'er pretended to be busy and turned around again, coughed twice and asked, "Have you dealt with your business?"

"Hmm!" Zong Zhengyi straightened up, and accidentally saw her dyed red behind the ears.

Qiao Ling'er also stood up, trying her best to dispel the feeling of being overwhelmed by a deer.However, when she met those smiling eyes, her face couldn't help becoming hot again.

"Well...you also know rhythm?" Qiao Ling'er found a topic in embarrassment.

"Yeah." Zong Zhengyi nodded, "It's been a long time since I touched it, and it's a bit unfamiliar."

"No, you play well." Qiao Ling'er said truthfully.

If she said it, she would regret it!Is her like this considered a compliment?He doesn't think he treats him...

Just as Qiao Linger's thoughts were spinning, Zong Zhengyi had already stepped forward and picked up the sheet music placed in front of him.

After turning a page, Zong Zhengyi asked, "Linger, what's the name of this song?"

Qiao Ling'er was pulled back by the word "Ling'er". Seeing Zong Zhengyi's calmness, she calmed down a little.

"It didn't have a name when I got it." Qiao Linger replied.When Yun Zhongyue left the sheet music, there was no name on the cover, and she kept it just to return it to him one day.

Yun Zhongyue's temperament is cloudy and uncertain, compared with Xue Mo seen two days ago, it is definitely worse than anything.At this time, she didn't want to have anything to do with those irrelevant "famous people", otherwise it would only make her more irritable in the end.

"This is a beautiful piece of music!" Zong Zhengyi commented, not to praise his own piano skills, but because this piece of music already has the capital to be praised.

"En!" Qiao Ling'er nodded in agreement.

Previously, I only heard the front part, which was very quiet, but in the latter part, after completing the whole song with the help of Zong Zhengyi, I can already hear the unprecedented...how should I put it, it should be a feeling, it seems to be a kind of Brought to another realm.

"Miss, you have practiced for a long time, do you want to rest or play with my uncle again!" Ning Xiang stepped forward and asked.

"Young master will go to court tomorrow..." Qiao Ling'er was about to speak, but Fang Zongzheng had already cut her off.

"Ling'er, can you try again?" Zong Zhengyi asked with a smile.

Qiao Ling'er kept her mouth shut, his harmless smile made her nod subconsciously.

And when she sat down and put her hands on the strings, she suddenly thought that the man behind her would approach her, and his hands would synchronize with her... her face became even hotter.

"What's the matter, Ling'er?" Zong Zhengyi couldn't help asking when she saw her eyes closed.

Only then did Qiao Ling'er open her eyes, shook her head and said, "It's okay." Then she plucked the strings again.

Those who hadn't slept also followed the source of the sound to Liuyun Garden, but they just stood outside the garden in a tacit understanding.Including Zongzheng Yan, they all just stood at the entrance of Liuyun Garden.

Under the moonlight, the woman in the pink dress has slender hands, moving back and forth on the piano skillfully; the man behind her, with an elegant smile on his mouth, leans behind the woman, his fingers also covering the surface of the piano, and The woman cooperates.
