After leaving Yan's house, Yan Susu asked the driver to drive to the nearest drug store. The reason was: "I want to grab some anti-fetal medicine for my mother. When the time comes, just wait for me in front of the drug store."
The coachman responded respectfully: "Yes, Miss Third."
The carriage drove for a while and arrived at the busiest street in the capital. It was now the third day of the first lunar month. Many shops were not open and there were not many people on the street. People were walking on both sides of the street. The carriage drove to the door of a drug store.
While it was still closed, the coachman went down and knocked on the door. The proprietress of a nearby sesame cake shop said that the shopkeeper and the staff had all gone home to celebrate the New Year and would not come back to open the shop until the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Hearing this, Yan Susu thanked the proprietress, and asked the coachman to continue looking for the next pharmacy. I wonder if it was because she was unlucky, but all the big pharmacies in the city were closed. After thinking about it, Yan Susu asked the coachman to park the car.
The entrance to Prince Min's Mansion.
"You go back first, Prince Min will take me back later!" After sending the coachman back, Yan Susu walked into Prince Min's Mansion.
The door recognized Yan Susu, but due to the rules, they still asked her to wait outside for a while, and then went in to report.
Yan Susu stood at the door bored, looking at the servants carrying fruit plates to and from the corridor in Prince Min's palace. She probably guessed that Yuan Minxiang had guests.
She knew that she came at the wrong time, but now that she was here, now that everyone had gone in to report, and now that the carriages had been sent away by her, she could only wait outside for news, and could not leave on her own.
After waiting for a moment, the gatekeeper ran over respectfully and bowed to her: "Miss Third, the prince invites you in! Please follow me."
"Yes!" Yan Susu responded, and walked in behind her husband. As she approached the hall, she could hear the sound of silk and bamboo playing all the way in the distance. Yan Susu had learned piano skills, and naturally also knew a little about ancient music.
The piece played here is an ensemble piece.
There are the ethereal sounds of the harp, the light flute sounds, and the rich sounds of the guqin. Another instrument is sonorous and powerful, but I can’t tell what it is.
After entering the hall, there was a music seat in the middle of the hall, and Yan Susu discovered that another sonorous and powerful instrument was actually the Morin Qin.
In modern times, the morinouqur is a musical instrument of the Mongolian people in the grassland. It has two strings, a trapezoidal resonance box, and a round sound, deep and rough. Now paired with the konghou, flute, and guqin, it seems to be a strange combination, but that piece of music is different.
It has flavor, and none of the musical sounds are too abrupt at all.
It is like a piece of heavenly palace music. This piece of music has never been heard by Yan Susu. It is different from many sad and euphemistic ancient songs in the Central Plains. This piece of music is full of passionate emotions, especially the middle part, where all four musics are played at a very fast speed.
The speed, the power, the music, and the momentum make people feel like they are on a grassland, surrounded by boundless green space and thousands of galloping horses. It is so spectacular.
When the sound of the piano reached the back end, it was replaced by the solo of the Morin Khuur, which was slow and deep, gathering up the picture of the prairie horse and putting on the clothes, the deep dusk and the peaceful sunset.
Yan Susu was a little crazy when she heard that. She glanced at the woman playing the piano and saw that she was wearing three layers of clothes, inside and out. The innermost layer was snow-white, and the cuffs were made into blue tunic sleeves.
Adhere to the entire wrist.
The second layer is a blue coat with sleeves reaching to the elbow, with nameless wild flowers embroidered on the sleeves.
The third layer, which is also the outermost piece, is a collarless waistcoat with straight rows of shiny buttons. It is pink in color and looks very pink.
On the woman's head is a must-have snow-white peaked hat with an upturned brim, decorated with fox fur, and inlaid with a circle of yellow agate.
The woman's face was covered with a piece of white satin. Her hazy beauty, half-hidden as if holding a pipa, was sultry.
Yan Susu, led by her father-in-law, walked forward from the side path. Everyone's attention was focused on the woman playing the matouqin. No one noticed her until the woman playing the piano raised her eyes to look at her and slightly disturbed the music.
, everyone noticed her arrival and looked towards her one after another. Most of the people at the table recognized her and did not forget to call her "Miss San" and say hello to her.
Since the last school competition, Yan Susu has become famous. All the princes in the capital have recited her great achievements and told her that after six rounds, she trapped the mighty general Li Wei into it and lost completely.
Some people praised her for her unparalleled appearance, saying that they only knew the eldest daughter of the Yan family was beautiful, but they did not expect that the third daughter of the Yan family would not be outdone. No wonder Prince Min would abandon the eldest daughter and the second daughter and be attracted to the third daughter of Yan alone.
With these recitations, Yan Susu has become the standard for future wives in the young master's heart.
Beautiful, smart, and courageous.
Yan Susu didn't know that she was so sought after. She just nodded politely and greeted everyone with a smile. After walking a few steps, she reached Yuan Minxiang's side.
A servant had already prepared a chair for her. As soon as she passed by, Yuan Minxiang took her hand and led her to the seat.
Yan Susu came to see him on business, so naturally she could not stay long. She sat down, but did not join the guests to enjoy the song and dance performance.
The playing of the morinouqin continued in that room, and at the end of the section, Yan Susu looked at Yuan Minxiang, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "When are you free, take me into the palace."
Yuan Minxiang was watching the performance on the field, but his thoughts were all focused on Yan Susu. Naturally, he heard her words clearly, but he was slightly unhappy when he heard that she was going to enter the palace.
He could never forget the way Yuan Minrui looked at her, and the tenderness she showed towards Yuan Minrui.
Pretending not to hear, she pointed to the field: "Does it sound good?"
Yan Susu nodded and replied: "That sounds great - Your Majesty, when are you free, can you take me into the palace?"
She wasn't focused on the performance, so she just said "wonder" casually and repeated her question again.
Yuan Minxiang's handsome eyebrows raised, and he suddenly pulled her up a little domineeringly. Just when Yan Susu didn't know why, she saw that he ignored the current situation, took her in his arms as if no one else was around, and put her on the bed.
on one's own knees.
The people present today were all young men, and the atmosphere was just a gathering between friends, not serious. So when they saw this scene, they all cheered and made good-natured jokes.
"Prince Min, your wedding is coming soon, so you don't have to be so anxious!" someone laughed.
"Isn't it particularly comfortable to have a beautiful woman in your arms?" someone continued.
Yan Susu felt her face turn red and white, and couldn't help but struggle. However, Yuan Minxiang's hands were very strong and held her tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
"Let me go!" Due to the occasion, Yan Susu could not confront him, so she could only suppress her anger and scolded him in a low voice.
Yuan Minxiang just pretended that he couldn't see her suppressed anger and couldn't feel her struggle to resist. He just said in her ear roguely: "What did you just say to me? You are a little far away, and there are so many people in this room."
There is some noise, so I can hear it if you get closer."
Yan Susu had nowhere to think about talking to Yuan Minxiang. She just wanted to leave quickly, leave his arms, leave his knees, and leave Prince Min's Mansion.
"It's okay, I have nothing to tell you, please let me go!"
Hearing this, Yuan Minxiang's face was stained with a proud smile: "In that case, let's concentrate on singing and dancing. Morinouqin is a rare thing to hear in the capital."
The performance of Morin Fhuur is indeed novel and unique to these people from the Central Plains.
But Yan Susu was born in the 21st century, and communication media are so developed that she has long been used to seeing such performances on TV.
And because I stayed at my uncle’s house in Tibet for two months the year of SARS, I often listened to my uncle playing the Morin Qur, so although I thought it was very nice to play, I didn’t think it was rare.
In other words, she didn't want to hear it.
"I'm going back, my mother is still waiting for me."
He grabbed her wrist and put her bare hand into his generous palm. With the other hand, he pressed her waist tightly to prevent her from breaking away. He pursed his lips slightly: "Shh, listen good.
Your appearance has interrupted the performance. If you want to leave, you have to wait until the performance is over, otherwise it will be too rude."
Who is the rude person? Yan Susu wants to ask.
He pulled her into his arms openly, molested her in front of everyone, and did not allow her to leave in a domineering manner. Who is this rude person?
After all, she didn't ask, not because she was afraid of him, but because the sound of the piano fell, it was just a song.
He kept his word and let her go.
Yan Susu didn't want to stay for a moment. It was too embarrassing. Even in modern times, it is indecent and immoral for men and women to be so intimate in public.
She blushed, said goodbye to everyone, and hurried back.
As she walked down the side path, she received a strange look. She turned her head slightly and saw that it was the woman who was looking at the matouqin. A pair of beautiful eyes above her face were looking at her.
Yan Susu smiled slightly at the woman, then turned away and continued walking out.
On the main seat, Yuan Minxiang's eyes followed her back with great leisure from beginning to end. After careful calculation, he was close to Chu Jiu.
