Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 55

Pei Xuan's voice is the same as his, it sounds very gentle, like a pool of warm water, soaking everyone's ears, walking like a green pine, stirring the hearts of girls, no matter where they go, the girls' gazes follow where.

"Mr. Wang was teaching 'Chunjiang Opera' before. It is said that he has not finished teaching it yet. If someone can play it for me, I will know what to teach next."

He held a sheet of music in his hand, and looked left and right. The girls hesitated for a while, and then they all raised their hands, expressing their willingness to play. Pei Xuan looked around, and unexpectedly fell on Yan Zhaohua. On the body, the slender hand pointed and said unexpectedly:
"Just you."

Yan Zhaohua's smile froze, and he put away his heart from watching the show. Seeing this, Xie Xinrou hurriedly said, "Cousin, sister Hua..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Xuan, who tapped on Xie Xinrou's head lightly with the score in his hand, and said softly, "Call me sir."

Xie Xinrou rubbed her head, and suddenly felt that she could no longer be as unscrupulous as before, because Mr. Wang dared not speak of her, let alone beat her, but Pei Xuan dared.

"Oh, sir." In order not to be beaten, Xie Xinrou was very tactful, pointing at Yan Zhaohua and said: "Mr. I don't know, that is my eldest cousin. She only came to the school for a few days, and she hasn't had vocal lessons yet. , how do you know what Mr. Wang taught you?"

Only then did Pei Xuan set his eyes on Yan Zhaohua and looked around for a couple of times, then nodded knowingly, and compared Xie Xinrou with the score: "Then you can do it."

Xie Xinrou was so frightened that she hurriedly covered the top of her head, but Pei Xuan didn't come down again, so she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, looked helplessly at Yan Zhaohua, sat up straight, and taught the "Chunjiang Qu" that Mr. Wang had taught half of before. After playing, the sound of the piano flowed from the fingertips, and the whole study room was quiet. Yan Zhaohua couldn't help sighing, such a talent is not inferior to being called a daughter of an aristocratic family.

Pei Xuan didn't make any trouble anymore, and sat back in front of the podium, holding the score in one hand, and played the next tune shallowly with the other. It wasn't the kind of flowing sound, but one syllable. His hand shape Very beautiful, slender and tough, like bamboo, with snow-white skin, well-manicured nails revealing a healthy and lustrous luster, such golden and precious fingers touching the strings are indeed a pleasing thing.

After playing all the tones of the music score below, Pei Xuan was unambiguous. He took the music score away and played the previous tune smoothly. Such a talent is really surprising. It seems that there is a new kind of music played by him. The indescribable elegance is a little different from what the old master Mr. Wang taught.

After Pei Xuan finished playing, he dissected out the points to pay attention to for each syllable, and then let everyone do it. For a while, the sound of the piano was heard in the study room, and Pei Xuan wandered around the study room like a stroll.

Yan Zhaohua's level is only good enough to read a music score, so that he can't understand the scale of the music score, but if he can understand it, he can understand it. My sister's piano skills are not bad, she only needs to follow Min's fingers and learn bit by bit.

She was peeking vigorously, the top of her head was like a Mount Tai, blocking the sunlight, only to see Pei Xuan standing in front of her at some point, looking at her expressionlessly, Yan Zhaohua stopped when he saw her , thinking that he did not allow students to learn from each other, so he withdrew his gaze from Sister Min's hand, and buried himself in the music score, but Pei Xuan still didn't leave, just when Yan Zhaohua was about to collapse under his watch , he suddenly spoke:

"The sound just now should be here."

"..."

Yan Zhaohua suddenly felt a little speechless, so many people were playing, how could he tell that she played it wrong?Smiling with shame, he flicked it according to the direction he pointed out, but he still didn't leave. Yan Zhaohua guessed that he wanted her to continue playing, and suddenly felt a feeling of being chased away from the shelf, so he insisted. Scalp played a few more notes. If Mr. Huan had heard such an obscure tone from her, he might have concluded that she had no talent and turned around to leave. But Pei Xuan stood still, making Yan Zhaohua feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. People deliberately target themselves.

Fortunately, two cousins ​​and nieces asked for advice, and Pei Xuancai left Yan Zhaohua's position. Only then did Yan Zhaohua heave a sigh of relief, thinking that she is a fake girl, and she still has to learn these things that are useless in the future. It's quite sad to think about it, especially when I met such a preoccupied Mr. Pei Xuan, who played a wrong note and stared at it desperately. It seems that the vocal music class will be difficult in the future.

An hour seemed as long as a day, and after finally waiting for class to end, the girls gathered around Pei Xuan unsatisfied, holding a sheet music in their hands, asking this and that, Xie Xinrou walked to Yan Zhaohua who was packing up, and the two The people looked at each other and shrugged, packed up their things, and walked out of the study room without staying any longer.

Xie Xinrou followed Yan Zhaohua and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and see Sister Ning, I don't know if she was wronged yesterday, but she didn't come to the school today. I went to see her, just in time to greet my grandmother."

After Yan Zhaohua finished speaking, Xie Xinrou followed and replied: "Grandmother went to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and she won't come for a while. The eldest granddaughter of Guogong's mansion invited grandma to be a Quanfu person today. Her family Miss Wu and Sister Yuan are very close, so she posted a message for Sister Yuan, and they went together, and it is estimated that they will come back at night."

The two of them went to Qing Cang Court together, and as expected, Mrs. Liu was not there, so Yan Zhaohua and the others went directly to Yan Zhaoning's place. Yan Zhaoning's maid, Xi'er, invited them in, and saw Yan Zhaoning lying On the bed, Xie Xinrou seemed to be out of spirits and asked:
"What's going on here?"

Xi'er replied: "My young lady has been in a bad mood since last night. In the morning, the old lady asked Nanny Gui to invite a doctor to come and see her. She said that she was very irritable and out of breath."

Yan Zhaoning sat up from the soft couch, stretched out his hand to Xie Xinrou and Yan Zhaohua, and said coquettishly, "Sisters came to see me, I thought no one in this house remembered me alive or dead."

Xie Xinrou sighed helplessly, and said, "What did you say? No one remembers you? Sister Yuan went to the Zhen Guogong's mansion today. If she knew that you were sick, she would definitely come to see you. Not to mention us, who came as soon as class was over, little heartless, not satisfied."

Yan Zhaoning pursed his lips and smiled, feeling relieved, and asked: "Miss Wu of Zhen Guogong Mansion, but Miss Fan Wu? Last time I admired flowers with her, why did she invite Miss Yuan? Why don't you invite me? I still treat her as a friend."

Xie Xinrou turned around and handed Yan Zhaoning a glass of water, and said:
"Zhen Guogong's mansion and Dingguo Gong's mansion have been in contact for a long time. Today is the eldest daughter Jiji of his family. The fifth girl didn't know that you were in the mansion, so it was delayed. Don't think too much. Take good care of your illness and wait for you to get sick. Well, let’s go with Sister Yuan again.”

After finishing speaking, she stopped talking to Yan Zhaoning and turned her head to look at Yan Zhaohua who had been silent all along. Xie Xinrou asked, "Do you have anything else to say to Sister Ning?"

Yan Zhaohua looked at Yan Zhaoning, Yan Zhaoning glared at Yan Zhaohua fiercely by drinking water, Yan Zhaohua didn't care, and said to Xie Xinrou: "It's nothing, I just came to see She's fine."

Yan Zhaoning snorted coldly and muttered vaguely: "It's okay, I let you down."

Xie Xinrou was a little embarrassed, Yan Zhaohua pretended not to hear, turned around and was about to leave, Xie Xinrou got up and wanted to follow, but Yan Zhaoning held her hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Rou, stay with me, I'm bored It’s been a whole day, and the doctor won’t let you go out to blow the air, so I’m almost bored to death.”

Seeing that Yan Zhaohua had already walked to the door, Xie Xinrou turned around and said something perfunctory to Yan Zhaoning:
"I asked the servant girl to come in and play tricks for you. Today, my husband left a lot of homework, and I still don't understand arithmetic. Get well soon, so that the sisters can go to school together to have fun."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his hand from Yan Zhaoning's. Seeing her walking in a hurry, Yan Zhaoning stepped on the bed angrily and kicked all the thin quilts off the couch. Not daring to provoke her, Yan Zhaoning became even angrier.

At this moment, a woman in her thirties begged to see Yan Zhaoning, saying that Aunt Gong had sent some delicious and interesting things to Yan Zhaoning, and Yan Zhaoning was angry when she heard that Aunt Gong had sent them He refused without even thinking about it, and said unceremoniously to the woman:

"This is the main courtyard. Tell her not to send people here all the time. I'm not short of food and drink. Let her keep it for herself."

That woman is someone close to Aunt Gong, and she thought that if she came to give something to this young lady, even if she wasn't rewarded, she should listen to a few polite words, but she didn't expect this young lady to be so arrogant and reject Aunt Gong so much. It seems that she dislikes Aunt Gong's status as an aunt.

In fact, Yan Zhaoning disliked Aunt Gong's status as an aunt. In her opinion, her mother suffered the most in her life because she was a concubine, so she could only marry her father as his stepmother and gave birth to her and Shuyan. The eldest son came out, but there were two brothers and sisters who were born on top of him. The grandmother was already dissatisfied with her mother. Now if she gets closer to Aunt Gong, the grandmother will not completely let her go!In that case, wouldn't it be cheaper for Yan Zhaohua?She is not that stupid!

What's more, Yan Zhaoning really hates Aunt Gong's self-proclaimed grandmother, but she doesn't know that because she is a concubine, Yan Zhaoning and her mother Xie have an inferior background. As a gift, Yan Zhaoning just accepted it casually, but today, when she was in a bad mood, Aunt Gong's people ran into her temper again, so she said some exaggerated words.

The woman seemed a little unconvinced, and apologized to Yan Zhaoning with a smile:
"How can Miss speak like that? Aunt Gong is also Miss's grandmother, she..."

Who knew that these words touched Yan Zhaoning's weakness again, he picked up a teacup beside the soft couch, threw it on the ground, broke it thoroughly, and shouted to the woman:
"What nonsense are you talking about, slave? How can a concubine be my grandmother? I only have one grandmother, and she lives in the main courtyard. She has nothing to do with those heretics! If I hear you say such things again in the future, be careful and forgive me. Not you!"
