Chapter 93
With a shy smile, Liu Shuyun said: "I was so anxious to think about repairing the piano that I didn't even introduce myself to the young master. The little girl Liu Shuyun has met Mr. Li!"

Li Yichen seemed to enjoy such tenderness, and immediately reached out to help him up.But in this instant, Liu Shuyun stood up by himself, looked at Li Yichen with a smile and said, "Shuyun still has something to do, so I will take my leave first."

"Ah?" Li Yichen didn't expect Liu Shuyun to leave at this time, and after a moment of astonishment, he said, "Don't you want me to take you back?"

"It's not far from where I live. I'll just walk back. Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

"This is a forest, aren't you afraid of bad people?"

"How can there be so many bad people in this world?" Liu Shuyun said with a bright smile on his face, "It's like the young master, who never knew me, and would help me repair the Guqin. So, in this world there are still There are so many good people!"

Growing up so old, it was the first time that Li Yichen was praised as a "good man", which made him dazed for a while, but at this moment, Liu Shuyun had already carried his zither on his back and walked farther and farther.

"Liu, Shu, Yun..." He murmured the name softly, and a strange feeling flashed across Li Yichen's heart.

As for Liu Shuyun who had just turned around, his eyes were lowered, and an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the actors on the stage with his eyes wandering, Li Yichen giggled from time to time, his whole body was so stupid, as if he had lost his soul.

Slowly turning his eyes away from the stage, Sima Xu rested his chin on his palms, looked at Li Yichen playfully, and asked, "What do you mean you're smirking?"

Before Li Yichen could reply, a nobleman beside him hurriedly said, "My lord has been busy recently, so I don't know this kid has taken a liking to him!"

Frowning, Sima Xukong said calmly: "Isn't it normal for him to have a crush on him?"

"It's different this time," Li Yichen said earnestly when he came back from the fugue, "She's a good girl, I'm serious this time."

Seeing that Li Yichen was rarely serious, Sima Xukong couldn't help feeling excited, and asked, "Whose girl is that, who can make you fall in love at first sight?"

"It's not like you're a lady," Li Yichen said with a simple smile, "but she's very gentle, talented, and doesn't cling to the rich and powerful. She's a very special girl."

Hearing Li Yichen's description was very unusual, the people around asked with interest: "Then when will you bring that girl out so that we can have a glimpse of her beauty? Let's see what kind of girl she is. Mr. Li is fascinated by this look."

"This..." Li Yichen said with some embarrassment, "She is a very shy girl, she might not agree to come out."

"If you want to marry you, you must face all kinds of scrutiny. Do you want to come to a golden house to hide your beauty and never let her see anyone for the rest of your life?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Yichen hesitated for a while, and then said: "Actually...that girl hasn't agreed to my courtship yet, so I'm not sure if she is willing to come out with me."

"what!?"

Everyone couldn't help showing a look of shock, wondering which girl was so powerful and fascinated Li Yichen so much.

Leaning slightly forward, Sima Xukong said with a smile: "On the day of Lidong, my house will hold a party. It's all for fun, and there is no restriction. But at that time, if you can't bring the girl you like Come on, then you can give her up, presumably that woman really doesn't like you, why don't you leave a good impression, it's also a memory."

As if being bewitched, Li Yichen was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh, said through gritted teeth, "The prince is right, if I can't even conquer a little girl, then how can I have the face to go out with everyone in the future? Everyone, just wait for my news, this time I will definitely return victorious!"

Such a small episode seemed insignificant among men, and it didn't take long for it to be forgotten.Before I knew it, it was the night of winter, and the Nine Princes' Mansion had prepared grilled meat, fine wine and delicious dishes, as well as beautiful women's silk and bamboo, which were really fragrant and attractive.

This is the first time that grandson Jingrong entertains guests after marrying into the palace. Although they are all Sima Xukong's friends, Yu Li also needs to prepare well.However, the eldest grandson Jingrong was too lazy to participate, so he handed everything over to the housekeeper. He was happy and relaxed, and didn't come until the dinner was about to start.

Among the aristocratic children, some came with their female relatives, sat on the round table on the right back, and chatted with each other.

Seeing that the grandson Jingrong only appeared when the dinner was about to start, and was wearing ordinary clothes, several women sitting together couldn't help discussing in low voices below, thinking that the princess came from a small family after all, and even the fine clothes I don't know how to put it on, it's really shabby.

Although I couldn't hear what those women were saying, I could tell from their expressions that they must be talking about myself.Really, one or two is enough to eat, and there are so many words, it makes people upset to watch!
Seemingly sensing the impatience of Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong approached her and asked in a low voice: "Why, do you think it's cold here?"

"If I say yes, will you let me go?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Sima Xukong said: "Don't be arrogant, I specially added a brazier behind you. If you still feel cold, let them add another one."

"Forget it, if you add more, I'm afraid I will have to wear a long summer skirt."

Seeing Changsun Jingrong's lack of interest, Sima Xukong moved closer, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is a lot of excitement today, Li Yichen, he wants to bring his sweetheart to the dinner party! Aren't you curious, What kind of girl can subdue Li Yichen?"

"You are really a gossip," Changsun Jingrong said slowly, stroking her hair, "What kind of girl does he like, do I need to inform you?"

"Is it just me who is curious, aren't you curious?" Sima Xukong looked into the eyes of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and said in a coaxing voice, "Actually, you also want to know, right, but I'm too embarrassed to admit it ? Oh, okay, I understand, I won't ask further, let's just sit here and watch the excitement!"

Sima Xukong seemed to be talking to himself, before waiting for Changsun Jingrong to answer, he said a series of words himself, then turned his head and looked at the entrance, as if waiting for something.

Shaking his head helplessly, Changsun Jingrong thought to himself that if the place was not full of people, he would definitely shake his head and listen carefully to what was inside!

After a while, when the dinner party had already started, Li Yichen came belatedly and appeared with a flushed face.And just when everyone was about to reprimand him, they found that there was a beautiful lady Pingting standing behind him.

I saw the woman wearing a white silver-trimmed long skirt, a velvet white fur waistcoat, a jasper stone belt hanging around her waist, and her long hair was only tied up with a jasper hairpin. She looked graceful and exquisite, fresh and refined, like a narcissus The flowers are average.

The moment he saw the woman, Changsun Jingrong's eyes were fixed, and then with a sarcastic smile on his lips, he silently drank the sake in front of him.

"This woman..." Sima Xukong frowned and muttered, "I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Of course you've seen it before," Changsun Jingrong said softly, having recovered his usual indifference, "Because she not only showed off her talents at the Women's Poetry Club, but also my best friend, Liu Shuyun!"

"Really?" Sima Xukong looked at Changsun Jingrong in shock and said, "Is there such a coincidence in this world?"

"Who knows if it's a coincidence or something else?" Changsun Jingrong said something vaguely, then looked up at Liu Shuyun, as if looking forward to her performance tonight.

In fact, when you think about it, it's really ridiculous. This woman obviously showed her heart to Xu Zizheng and had to wait for him for the rest of her life, but in the blink of an eye, she found a new lover. It seems that her sincerity is really cheap!
After I was silent at the beginning, everyone seemed to have exploded, joking about the couple, saying: "Oh, I didn't expect you to bring people here!"

"Well, not bad, she is indeed a beauty, no wonder she fascinated you so much!"

"I said why haven't you introduced this girl yet, we don't know how to call this girl yet."

Amidst everyone's words, Liu Shuyun's face was red, and she lowered her head slowly, looking shy and cute, and people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Seeing Liu Shuyun's shyness, Li Yichen's desire to protect was aroused, he stepped in front of Liu Shuyun, and said to the joking crowd: "Hey, don't make a fuss, or scare people!"

"Yeah, just standing there, it seems that our palace is being rude," Changsun Jingrong raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yichen and Liu Shuyun with a smile, and said, "Take your seats quickly, both of you."

"It's still the princess who knows how to be considerate," Li Yichen smiled and bowed to his eldest grandson Jingrong, and then led Liu Shuyun to sit on the third table on the left.

Seeing that Li Yichen had disturbed the seating order, the nobleman next to him said, "The female relatives have to sit on the right. No matter how hard it is for the two of you to part with each other, you will be able to part with it for a while."

"That's right, it's not good if the woman sits here and delays our drinking."

After hearing these words, Liu Shuyun looked embarrassed, and got up to leave, but she didn't want to be stopped by Li Yichen who was next to her, and said: "Shuyun and sister-in-law, sister-in-law and younger siblings don't know each other, it's inevitable that they will meet for the first time It's embarrassing, so it's better to sit here first."

Among the female relatives, there was a hot-tempered woman. After hearing these words, she couldn't help but hide her knife in her smile and said: "The sisters sitting here have met for the first time, and I haven't seen anyone who is too frightened to sit down. Together, is it possible that you are afraid that we will eat her?"

"That's right. Before we met each other, we were strangers. We only became acquainted after chatting a few times. Why did we come to this little lady and seemed a little more delicate? Dare I ask this girl, is it Miss from which house?"

These words made Liu Shuyun very embarrassed.What kind of identity is she, I know better than anyone else, if it is brought up in public now, wouldn't it just add to the laughing stock?
Just when Liu Shuyun was ashamed and angry, Changsun Jingrong waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let her sit there. You are all greedy looking at her gluey appearance, right?"

Seeing that the hostess had spoken, all the girls had no objections, but they looked at Liu Shuyun with a bit more sternness in their eyes.

After the little disturbance, the man began to talk loudly, chatting all over the world, as if he had completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now.But the women were different. They all stared at Liu Shuyun with jealousy and reluctance in their eyes, and the words they exchanged in low voices gradually became mean.

"Hmph, it's really annoying to see her pretending to be noble, she seems to be more expensive than a princess."

"That's right, he's clearly a petty man, but he wants to pretend to be a lady of the family. What's wrong with Li Yichen? He's always been very picky, how can he fall in love with such a guy."

"Hey, I must be tired of seeing ordinary beauties and want to find something new and exciting."

"Then it's better to go to a brothel, the appearance is not as good as this one."

"Hey, it's a good thing my husband-in-law didn't pick someone like this, otherwise I would feel like I'm worthless!"

"Guess how long it will take Li Yichen to dump this woman this time?"

"Well, a month at most."

"One month? You are too overestimating that woman, I guess fifteen days at most, why don't we make a bet?"

"Good good!"

The women seemed to have found an interesting topic. Sometimes they discussed something in a low voice, and sometimes they covered their lips and smiled happily. The atmosphere was so lively.On the other hand, at Liu Shuyun's place, he was sitting there alone, and the men around him burst into laughter from time to time, as if they were talking about something happy.

The eldest grandson Jingrong, who had been observing the situation with cold eyes, saw Liu Shuyun's depression, and thought to himself how boring it would be if she was allowed to spend the day in a normal way?Immediately he said: "Mr. Li, the beautiful woman sitting next to you seems very boring. Don't just take care of yourself and neglect the beautiful woman."

Hearing what Changsun Jingrong said, Li Yichen quickly looked at Liu Shuyun, and said with a little self-reproach: "Shuyun, isn't it boring to sit here with me?"

Shaking his head with a slight smile, Liu Shuyun said: "Young Master, what did you say? It is Shuyun's blessing to be able to walk with you."

Hearing such a gentle and understanding voice, the men around couldn't help saying enviously: "No wonder you are so precious to this girl, she turns out to be a Xieyuhua."

Hearing this, Li Yichen smiled proudly: "The length of Shuyun is far more than that." After speaking, Li Yichen looked sideways at Liu Shuyun, and said, "Shuyun, just in time for today, you will play for everyone Let's go to the last song."

Seemingly hesitating for a while, Liu Shuyun stood up, saluted everyone and said, "Then... Soyun is making a fool of himself!"

Ugly?She is really humble.

The eldest grandson leaned back on the chair with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for something.Not long after, a series of crisp sounds flowed out gently, like a gentle wind, gently blowing into everyone's heart, no matter what kind of mood just now, it has become softer now, It's like lying on the clouds, ignoring the vicissitudes of life.Gently close your eyes, your body seems to be able to fly, this feeling is really wonderful.

Just when everyone was completely immersed in this wonderful piece of music, the piece stopped abruptly, allowing everyone to return to reality in an instant, looking at each other inexplicably.When Liu Shuyun slowly walked down from the piano stage, everyone woke up like a dream, and realized that all the beautiful music just now was made by this woman.

The men couldn't help but looked at Li Yichen enviously, and said: "Your boy has picked up a treasure this time. When you are free, you can burn the qin and cook the crane with the beautiful woman, pluck the strings and have fun, and do some elegant things. It would be fun."

Different from men's admiration, while women are envious, they also have a bit of jealousy in their hearts, but they don't want to show it on the surface, they can only express their dissatisfaction with cynicism.

But no matter what, Liu Shuyun, who showed his skills, has already changed everyone's original views, and sitting with everyone will not seem so out of place.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Changsun Jingrong suggested to take the female relatives around the palace.Although it was already the beginning of winter, there were some cold-resistant plants planted in the palace, which could stand proudly, green and fragrant even in the cold weather.

At the beginning, the female relatives could concentrate on admiring the flowers and leaves, echoing a few compliments from time to time, and the scene was quite lively.But after a while, some of the women's family members who disliked Liu Shuyun began to find faults openly and secretly.

Standing in front of a flower pot taller than a person, Liu Shuyun absently looked at the branches and leaves in the pot, standing at the end of the line of female relatives, a place where no one would pay attention to her.Looking at those emerald green leaves, Liu Shuyun thought that her eldest grandson Jingrong really knew how to enjoy herself. In the bleak weather, she must be in a good mood to be accompanied by these flowers and plants.If you become the wife of the Li family yourself in the future, you should enjoy it like this!
While Liu Shuyun was in a daze, someone suddenly pushed her from behind, following the force, she fell forward involuntarily.

"ah--"

All the girls heard a scream, and then Liu Shuyun threw herself on the vase, followed by the vase's shaking, fell to the ground together, and then "crashed", the vase shattered into pieces.

Hearing the sound, the eldest grandson Jingrong hurriedly turned around and walked over, then asked, "What's going on behind?"

"Back to Wangfei, Miss Liu accidentally fell down and broke your favorite vase."

"Then are you all right now?"

The women surrounding Liu Shuyun turned their heads and said, "Fortunately, Miss Liu was not injured!"

"It's good that people are fine."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong's tone was calm and calm, and seemed to have the intention of giving up, a female family member said unwillingly: "Oh, Miss Liu, why are you so careless and broke the princess's beloved flower? This is very precious. , I'm afraid you can't afford it."

Liu Shuyun, who was helped up, looked at the female relative with a gloomy expression.She knew that it was this woman who caused her to fall into embarrassment, and now she continues to stir up trouble, it is simply hateful!And she also knew in her heart that her eldest grandson Jingrong would not let her pay for any vases, so she became bold in her heart, and asked for it back together with the grievances she had just suffered from cynicism and ridicule!
