Seeing that Wu Xiang was not playing the music but staring at Lin Jinrong, Mrs. Tao coughed lightly with a straight face.
Wu Xiang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I feel like I have only played the first half of the song "Four Sisters", and the second half is still missing. Why don't I continue it?"
Lin Jinrong forced a smile: "I'm trying to attract others."
"As long as the fourth sister doesn't think I'm too lazy to follow my lead, it'll be fine." Wu Xiang sat down, calmed down, and played a song.
The autumn night is cloudless, the moonlight is like water, the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away are extremely enchanting. The tired birds return to their nests, the streams are clear, the Yue women wash their yarns, and the weavers pound the yarn. The night wind is like singing, the bamboo shadows are like dancing, and the scholars lean against the window and chant.
Sound. There are many buildings, the lights are bright, the scholars are writing according to the case, writing vigorously...
After a piece of music was played, Wu Xiang smiled slightly: "Show off your ugliness." He looked at Lin Jinrong, and there was an extra layer of meaning in it.
Before Tao and others could speak, Lin Jinrong smiled: "I lost."
Not to mention her skills, her state of mind has been lost to that of Wu Xiang. The song "Autumn Moon" is born from the heart, which is good at the beginning, but by the end of the play, she has completely devoted herself to her personal melancholy, and is trapped in it. She has to be a little embarrassed and hasty.
It ended badly. No matter how she cheered herself up, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, the past had left indelible traces in her heart, and she easily lost to it.
Wu Xiang is different. He is the rising sun in the morning. He is dazzling and full of hope for the future. His life is bright and brilliant, enchanting and beautiful. He is the scholar who is studying hard under the moon, and he is the person who writes freely in the tall building.
He, that is the ultimate dream of every scholar, to become the pillar of the country, laugh and talk to the world, and express himself freely.
A genius is a genius, not to mention a hard-working genius. Lin Jinrong believed that although Wu Xiang could not clearly understand what she was thinking, he could understand her sadness, so he said that hers was the first half, and he would fill in the second half.
Que. He was telling her that they are both Qiuyue, with different mentality, different vision, and different understanding.
How could she compare with him in this state of mind? There was no comparison, no way. Lin Jinrong thought sadly, he was still young, but she was already old.
Tao was a little surprised. They were clearly two completely different styles. In terms of skills, Lin Jinrong was slightly better. Even if she went crazy in the later period, she might not have lost. But Lin Jinrong had already given up, and Wu Xiang was very strong. Tao
Then he followed the trend and said: "Everyone has his own strengths."
Wu Xiang was still a little nervous and uncertain earlier. When he heard Lin Jinrong admitting that he had lost, his smile suddenly bloomed, and he became more generous and talked eloquently: "Actually, I am not as skilled as the fourth sister, but the fourth sister's mood
Not as good as me, the person who blows the xun is trapped by the xun... At such an age, one should not make such sad sounds, the fourth sister should relax her mind."
Lin Jinrong lowered his head and bowed his head in thanks, but Mrs. Tao couldn't help but be startled. She had not realized this problem earlier, but now she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She praised Wu Xiang a few words and asked someone to order tea.
After Wu Xiang had a cup of tea, he got up and left. Not long after, Mr. Lin San also felt that all the bones in his body were scattered, and he ran off to sleep. Tao Shifang frowned and said, "Nanny
, the music you played today is not suitable for a little girl, it sounds too sad and desolate, especially at the end."
After two cups of hot tea, Lin Jinrong had recovered from his low mood and chuckled: "I just wanted to take it for the occasion. If mom doesn't like it, I'll just skip it next time."
When she was reborn last autumn, she was in the most miserable state of mind, and the music she played was so much more sob-inducing than this one that Old Mrs. Lin couldn't bear it and had to agree to let her go to say goodbye to Mrs. Wu. At that time, Mrs. Tao
I didn’t feel anything. Wu Xiang accidentally said something today that made Tao pay attention to this issue. Does Tao not love his children? No, Tao has tried his best, but people are too easy to get trapped in their own emotions.
, with eyes and heart filled with only seeing one's own dissatisfaction and dedication, only sadness and anger, thus missing out on happiness and opportunities.
Mrs. Tao didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she followed the words: "Although Wu Xiang is arrogant, there is some truth in what he said. You should be more open-minded. Don't think that something is bad because of me and your father...
..." She was not good at having in-depth conversations with her daughter about this matter. She talked about it in a huff and a loop, and laughed at herself: "Actually, I don't know how to live, so don't learn from me. It's a good thing that you have your own opinion, but you should
When you have to be submissive, you still have to be submissive.”
Lin Jinrong said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, I will live a good life no matter what the situation is." Regardless of whether she made the same mistake as Tao back then, she will not make it again in this life. She will take a longer view,
Life should have a broader world, rather than just being limited to the two-acre land in front of her.
As soon as a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, everyone had already stood up, lighting fires to make food, feeding horses and harnessing carts. Mrs. Tao was directing people to do things, Lin Jinrong took the lychees and put them on the dining table, Wu Xiang came in and stood about three steps away from her
He bowed to her and said hello, and laughed in a low voice: "Fourth sister, last winter, before I competed with you, Lu Mian had asserted that I would definitely lose to you, saying that my state of mind was already a big difference.
"I didn't realize it at the time, but I realized it later."
"Then what?" Lin Jinrong smiled slightly and waited for the next sentence.
"I have been going smoothly since I was a child. I have never suffered any grievances. The only punishment I received was that I stole the wine my grandfather had buried underground for decades to drink. I was punished by my father twice and my grandfather scolded me several times. I still deserved it, but I still deserved it.
I felt so wronged that I vowed never to drink again." After Wu Xiang said this, he looked up at Lin Jinrong, his slightly slender eyes full of kindness and sympathy: "Fourth sister, my grandfather often told me
, life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. Although I have never tasted it, I think you should open your mind. The elders will not like your sound. Smile more and talk to them more.
, they will like it.”
Lin Jinrong looked at the young man in front of him seriously. In the morning light, the young man was still fair and tall, and there was already a circle of light blue hair around his lips. Although he tried his best to look mature and taught, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all green.
This person has always lived a life that she longed for but never got. Being close to him, close to him... Being close to him, maybe she can live that kind of life... When Wu Xiang was looking a little uncomfortable, Lin Jinrong
Finally he withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice: "Actually, things are much better now than before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to Qingzhou this time. Brother Ang, thank you. No one has ever advised me like this. Yesterday I was convinced of my defeat and I benefited a lot.
shallow."
Her smile was too sincere and bright, and her tone was too sincere and serious. Wu Xiang was a little embarrassed. He touched his ears covertly and looked away: "Well, actually you are a nice person. I thought you were too weak and stupid in the past.
"Some, and then I lost to you, and I suddenly felt that it was not easy for you to be in a situation like yours." I understood the meaning of his xun, accepted his kindness calmly, dared to admit defeat, and showed no trace of the coquettishness and coquettishness of a girl who cannot afford to lose.
There's no acidity at all, it's really good.
Seeing Wu Xiang's embarrassment, Lin Jinrong felt a little happy inexplicably, and said tentatively: "I heard from my seventh brother that when we go to Qingzhou, the second brother didn't bring much else, but he brought the most books. On the way.
It's boring. I wonder if you can lend me two books to look at?" This is a good excuse to borrow books. Once you borrow and return them, you will have more opportunities to ramble on.
Sure enough, when Wu Xiang heard her talk about this, her discomfort disappeared at all, and she smiled and said: "I wonder what kind of books the fourth sister likes to read? Poems, songs, or legends? There is a book about mountains and rivers, which is very interesting.
Can’t you see it?”
"Look, why don't you look? I just want to take a look outside and learn more, but unfortunately I don't have the chance. I haven't even been to Taiming Mansion. I heard that there is a whole street in Taiming Mansion, from beginning to end.
You sell books, right?"
Wu Xiang's eyebrows were flying: "Yes, when I was in Taiming Mansion, I wandered on that street when I had nothing to do. There was a book store that had very good books and rare books. I fell in love with a set, but Lu Yansheng snatched it away.
, makes me angry..."
Lin Jinrong was happy to hear what he said, and her mood improved a bit. Unexpectedly, he brought out another Lu Yan. Thinking that Lu Yan would ruin Mr. Zhu's books in order to force her to apologize, she felt a little disgusted and frowned slightly.
Said: "Everything has a first come, a first served. How could he snatch your book?"
Seeing that she took her seriously, Wu Xiang smiled awkwardly: "It's not that he robbed him, it's because I lost the bet. By the way, did you know that he actually has a wonderful ability to repair ancient calligraphy and paintings, and I don't know where he got it from.
I asked him to supply me with what he had learned, but he refused. I wanted to see how good his skills were, so I gave him the book. Unexpectedly, he actually had two real skills..."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but be startled, how could Lu Yan have such a skill? It's ridiculous, she never knew about it. But, what does that have to do with her? With a smile on her lips, she continued to ask Wu Xiang: "They all have it in Taiming Mansion
What’s delicious and fun?”
Poor person who has never been out, Wu Xiang is also trying hard to satisfy her curiosity: "There is nothing interesting, but there is a lot of delicious food. Oh, by the way, there is a shop that sells good rouge and gouache. My mother and others asked me to bring it."
, if someone from your family goes there, you can ask them to bring you some to try."
Lin Jinrong found that he was not good at small talk in this area, and quickly changed the topic: "Yang Mo returned to Jiangnan, did you write a letter? How is she?"
Wu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I wrote it. By the way, she also asked about you and asked you to write her a letter when you have time. Once you have written it, let someone take it to my house and take it with you when someone goes to Jiangnan.
past……"
Mr. Lin San yawned and walked to the door. He happened to see Wu Xiang and Lin Jinrong separated by a table and the sleepy Lin Shenzhi. One was talking happily, the other was listening attentively, one was young and talented, and the other was beautiful and gentle.
.I couldn't help but think about it, and I touched my chin and thought, isn't this a ready-made good marriage?
