The Reborn Peasant Woman

Chapter 9
Xia Jinyan only dared to mutter in her heart, she would not ask.

"Xiaofu, go and tell the shopkeeper to increase the reward by another 100 taels of silver. Maybe there will be a brave man under the heavy reward." Su Ruiyang came from the family of the richest man in the Daxing Dynasty, and these hundreds of taels were naturally not rare in his eyes.

200 taels plus a delicious meal in Zuiyunlou, so tempting, is there any reason?
"Master Su, I would like to respect you a cup." He Qingwan said with a smile.

"Miss He, you're being polite." Su Ruiyang replied neither salty nor bland.

He Qingwan was furious, but she planned to make persistent efforts and perform well.

"My lord, Qingwan heard that you are very fond of rhythm. A few days ago, Qingwan got a new piece of music—" He Qingwan smiled at Xuanyuan Haofeng.

"Then come and listen to it. This king is taking advantage of Rui Yang's face, and now you are blessed, and so are you, hahaha..." Xuanyuan Haofeng drank his daughter Hong from the white jade wine glass in one gulp.

The song "Qingyun Lotus Tune" fascinated everyone present except Xia Jinyan. After the song was over, everyone applauded, and only Xia Jinyan frowned.

In fact, Xia Jinyan was thinking about the Shanglian that Su Ruiyang said, and she thought that the Shanglian was not too difficult, maybe she could figure it out, so she chose to ignore He Qingwan's piano sound.

"Miss Xia, why are you frowning? Is it because Qingwan played badly?" He Qingwan was angry in her heart, and the water mist filled her beautiful eye sockets, looking very pitiful.

Ordinary people, after she played the piano, either said that the lingering sound would linger for three days, or that it sounded good, or applauded, but Xia Jinyan was the first one who still frowned after hearing her piano sound.

"You play very well, really." Xia Jinyan said with a faint smile.

"Miss Qingwan, what are you asking her for? She doesn't know rhythm at all." Xuanyuan Haofeng glanced at Xia Jinyan and said coldly.

wipe!Damn it!

Xuanyuan Haofeng actually despises himself so much!Isn't it Fuqin?What's the problem!
Xia Jinyan was so angry that she made an unexpected move. She got up suddenly, stood up, and went to break off a leaf of orchid grass.

"Cousin Jinyan, what are you doing with the leaf next to your mouth?" Situ Zifeng asked in surprise.

"Didn't he say that I don't know the rhythm, so I'll show it off, can't I?" Xia Jinyan raised the leaf in her hand angrily, smiling lightly.

"Can this leaf make melody?" Naturally, He Qingwan didn't believe it, let alone all the beauties present here.

"Yezi can still play the song you played on the piano just now." Although she didn't listen carefully, as long as she performed the melody decently, it would be fine.

Xia Jinyan explained with a smile on her lips, she had already put the emerald green leaf on her lips.

The melody and unique charm are the most important, and the most important thing is the artistic conception in this piece.

It is clear and translucent, and the subtle fragrance hits, but it is so close to the ear, like a lotus flower blooming elegantly, making people hold their breath and just wait for a glimpse of that beautiful moment.

"The leaves can also play the melody, it's amazing." Situ Zifeng couldn't help but praise his cousin.

"Then cousin thinks my cousin is good at singing?" Xia Jinyan only played for a while.

Before Situ Zifeng could speak, Su Ruiyang had already praised, "It's rare in the world to hear it."

"Mr. Su, I love to hear your words. Thank you. I will replace wine with tea to thank you for your praise. I found that people need courage." Xia Jinyan glanced at Xuanyuan Haofeng's constipated face, laughing so hard It hurts, but fortunately, she held back.

"Since you are proficient in melody, can you match the upper couplet written by Mr. Su?" He Qingwan was jealous in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she just smiled gently and said casually.

"Master Su, if I can match your second couplet, will the reward count?" Xia Jinyan felt that she should ask clearly.

"Yeah." Su Ruiyang nodded.

"Don't talk too much, you won't be able to forgive me later, you'll lose face." Xuanyuan Haofeng said sarcastic remarks on the side.

"Okay, if I can't tell you, I'll put myself in the Zuiyun Building as a coolie, okay?" Xia Jinyan stared at her apricot eyes and smiled slightly.

Will she let herself lose?
Is she not sure that she will agree to the second line?

"Miss Xia, have you really thought about it?" He Qingwan is conceited that she is also a talented woman, but she can't agree with Su Ruiyang's second line.

"Yes, Mr. Su, please repeat the couplet you wrote." Xia Jinyan said with a smile on her lips.

"The goat goes up the mountain, and the mountain touches the goat's feet, bleating." Su Ruiyang said.

"The buffalo goes into the water, the buffalo's horns are flooded, moo moo!"

"What's more, flowery cats play with flowers, flower fans with flowery cat eyes, meow meow!" Xia Jinyan uttered two lines fluently at once, which stunned everyone present.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Su Ruiyang's eyes flashed a hint of admiration.

He Qingwan did not expect that Xia Jinyan would be praised by Su Ruiyang, and it happened twice in a row, and the jealousy in her heart drank a few jars.

"Cousin Jinyan, I didn't expect you to have such talent. We ignored you before." Situ Zifeng sighed.

"Did you really come up with it? Don't ask others on the way." Xuanyuan Haofeng still doesn't quite believe it.

"No one taught her." Even Mo Rong shook his head, he also looked surprised, Xia Jinyan is really a treasure, in addition to being able to design clothes, she also knows the rhythm, and can match pairs.

Xuanyuan Haofeng saw that Ji Morong, who had been silent all this time, had already defended Xia Jinyan, opened his mouth immediately, and didn't speak anymore, just lowered his head and drank the remaining half glass of wine with his neck up.

"Miss Xia really admires Qingwan. Qingwan has always liked playing chess, so can Qingwan ask Miss Xia for advice?" He Qingwan saw that Su Ruiyang ordered his personal maid, Xiao Fu, to give Xia Jinyan two 100-liang silver notes , the jealousy in her heart was even worse.

It's not because of the silver ticket, but because Su Ruiyang praised Xia Jinyan.

This was the first time that the first son Su Ruiyang praised a woman, which had to make her vigilant.

"No." Playing chess was too much work, Xia Jinyan waved her hands lazily and said directly that she couldn't.

"No?" He Qingwan didn't quite believe it.

"It's true, Miss He, you can ask Master Su for advice. Isn't he the number one son in the legend? You can't waste this good opportunity." Xia Jinyan explained calmly.

Hearing this, Su Ruiyang frowned. His chess skill is indeed rare in this world except for a few people.

"Miss Qingwan, don't embarrass my cousin, she must be very tired today." Situ Zifeng saw Xia Jinyan's eyes asking for help, so he chimed in.
