"Miss Xue?" Jin Tong asked curiously, "Is she the new singer?"
The waiter waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Miss Xue can't be said to be a singer. Those talented men of letters should all be called everyone's."
The name "everyone" refers to those women who are knowledgeable and of high moral character. For example, Ban Zhao in the Han Dynasty was proficient in literature and history and had great talents in learning. Although it later became an honorific title, those who can be called this are all in a certain
A woman with recognized achievements in her field.
"So powerful?" Xu Yin asked with interest, "What is her origin?"
The waiter said: "This Miss Xue has a single name. Her grandfather Xue Chang once served as a censor. Unfortunately, he committed a crime later and the whole family was confiscated. Her mother was pregnant with Liujia at the time and also entered the Jiaofang.
manage."
Gao Silan thought thoughtfully: "So, she was born in Jiaofangsi."
"Yes, it's so pitiful that I was originally a harem girl, but ended up in a quagmire." The clerk lamented.
Jin Tong laughed: "You still pity her? Look at the way she is being sought after by thousands of people. When you go to people, they don't even look at you."
The clerk was embarrassed by what she said and kept saying, "Yes, that's what Miss Jin said."
Jin Tong would not quarrel with a waiter, so he continued to eat melon seeds: "Go on."
The waiter responded, and continued: "Miss Xue was born smart. She could read at the age of three and discern sounds at the age of five. She could play the pipa to the point of tears. I don't know how many literary talents wrote poems and poems for her. She was famous in the capital, even Your Majesty.
Everyone has heard her name."
"Then why did she come to Nanyuan?" Gao Siyue was surprised, "Nanyuan is not close to the capital."
The waiter smiled and said: "A while ago, Miss Xue heard about the news about her grandfather's house and wanted to visit her relatives. Unexpectedly, she encountered rioters on the road, and she ended up in Nanyuan by mistake. Now that there is chaos outside, Miss Xue wants to stay in Nanyuan.
Please stay for a while, otherwise we will never be able to listen to her pipa."
Xu Yin asked: "When did she come?"
The clerk thought for a moment: "More than a month ago? Or two months ago. No one knew about it when I came here. I was later recognized and my identity was announced."
Xu Yin nodded, and the time was right.
It was completely quiet outside. The waiter knew that the performance was about to start and did not dare to say anything more. He pointed to the window and quietly left.
Jin Tong muttered: "It sounds so amazing, I want to see how powerful it is."
The girls looked over and saw that musical instruments had been placed on the high platform. Some were holding cloud boards and some were holding bamboo flutes, but there was no one holding a pipa.
"Hey, where is it?" Everyone searched everywhere but couldn't see a woman that matched the description.
The cloud board sounded, and the performance began, and the silk and bamboo slowly played the prelude, which was pleasant to the ears.
Gao Siyue said: "Could it be that you didn't come at all? You're just pretending."
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of red silk was suddenly thrown out from the private room on the second floor opposite and dropped diagonally towards the high platform.
Two strong servants jumped up high, took the end of the red silk, and straightened it with all their strength.
There were exclamations in the field, and everyone looked up, only to see a woman in red appearing from the window, holding a pipa in her hands, with red silk on her toes, coming into the wind, as if a fairy had come to the world.
The moment she landed on the high platform, the sound of pipa also sounded.
This appearance was unheard of, and deafening cheers immediately erupted in the restaurant.
On Xu Yin's side, the girls were also shocked. After a moment, Jin Tong said: "This Miss Xue is quite capable of thinking. How did she do this?"
"Yes, silk is so soft, how can you step on it?" Gao Siyue was also very interested.
The two started discussing.
Xu Yin glanced and saw a piece of clothing flashing across the elegant room opposite.
A thought flashed through her mind and she asked Gao Silan: "How is your mansion going? It's been a long time since I visited your county prince's mansion."
Gao Silan smiled and said, "You can come anytime you want. Aren't you still welcome?"
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Isn't this afraid of being unlucky? My father is still sick!"
"What's the point? Our family is not that poor and sophisticated."
Xu Yin asked casually: "Has the prince been in the mansion recently?"
Before Gao Silan could speak, Gao Siyue intervened: "My father has been busy recently. He doesn't know what he is doing. He is always running away. My mother and concubine have asked me several times and they are about to quarrel."
"Ah Yue!" Gao Silan wanted to stop her. This was a matter in her parents' room. How could she tell others?
However, Xu Yin continued: "What's the point? We always want to go out and play, and I think the prince is the same."
Gao Siyue forgot about her sister, curled her lips and said, "Is it possible that he also comes to see Miss Xue play music?"
"Maybe?" Xu Yin stopped after saying this.
This Miss Xue was probably really good at playing the piano, and she was as beautiful as a flower. The guests were so mesmerized that they applauded her from time to time and threw their jewelry on the high platform as if they were free.
On Xu Yin's side, the little girls couldn't appreciate it and were bored.
"It's so noisy! I can't hear the sound of the pipa clearly. What do they call it?"
"They don't listen to music, they just watch people!"
"It's boring, let's play something else!"
Xu Yin suggested: "Then let's throw the pot, it's not appropriate to leave now."
The girls responded and ordered the men to bring pots and arrows.
Jin Tong has always been good at this game, so he was gearing up and threatened: "I will win you all today!"
Gao Siyue refused to admit defeat: "I have been practicing at home for a long time, I will definitely beat you!"
"Then come."
"Come just come."
The two of them were really at par with each other, and their faces turned red.
Xu Yin laughed: "What are you fighting for? I wasn't the one who won in the end?"
Jin Tong and Gao Siyue immediately put aside their disputes and united.
One said: "You are good at telling big words. You boasted before you even voted."
Another said: "If you want to brag, vote first and then talk."
Xu Yin took the arrow, gestured twice, and said: "Tossing into the pot is nothing. I'll give you something new to play with today."
"what?"
Xu Yin raised his gaze and looked at the other party's private room.
"It's too easy to throw into the pot. I'll throw to the other side."
Jin Tong and Gao Siyue looked at each other, neither believing it.
The distance between the two rooms is not close, and they don't think the shot will be successful.
Xu Yin said: "Then let me try. If I hit, you both have to admit defeat."
Jin Tong thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, if you make a hit, you will win today."
Gao Siyue had no objection either.
Xu Yin picked up the arrow, aimed at the opposite side, and threw it.
The skill of archery, which can be used to throw pots with perfect accuracy, is simple and easy. The arrow leaves the hand, draws an arc, and accurately enters the opposite window.
There was a "bang" sound, as if something had been hit.
Immediately afterwards, someone appeared angrily at the window and shouted: "Who is it? Is he playing pot throwing?"
Gao Siyue looked at it and was dumbfounded: "This, isn't this Sun Yong? Why is he here?"
Sun Yong is her father's attendant.
Gao Silan reacted and turned pale: "Is it the father on the other side?"
