"I think about it, but what's the use of thinking about it? Xiaoyue is just an ordinary maid. She has no father or mother since she was a child. She has been following the madam all the time. She has a humble status. How can she compare with the madam in the West Wing? Even if the young master is willing, Xiaoyue
Yue doesn’t dare to…”
Xia Shang originally wanted to make Xiaoyue happy, but he didn't expect that he actually made the girl lose her temper. Just as he was about to say something else, another person came to the pavilion.
"Sir, do you still have time at home today?"
Miss Xian'er was holding Qin and walking towards her in a bright red robe. This red satin was as soft as smoke, floating in the wind, blowing the hem of her skirt. It was floating up to reveal a section of her calf, and her jade-like skin was looming.
People covet it endlessly. The red dress and red makeup, and the delicate face decorated with rouge and gouache, make it even more beautiful.
Xia Shang still remembers the first time he heard Miss Xian'er's piano playing in Yichun Courtyard. Although he couldn't see her, he could still imagine the scene at that time. Just like now, she was dressed in red and wearing a piano.
Xia Shang looked at Xian'er, his heart inevitably beating.
Xian'er also looked at Xia Shang, not shying away from his eyes, and sat directly opposite Xia Shang, smiling: "Young Master, I haven't seen you for a few days. Xian'er has taken care of me and has no way of repaying it, so I played a zither to express my gratitude.
Thank you from my heart."
After that, without waiting for Xia Shang's reply, he started playing the strings on his own.
Miss Xian'er was a guest, so it seemed inappropriate for Miss Xian'er to play the piano for Xia Shang. But Miss Xian'er was in high spirits, so Xia Shang followed her.
It can be seen that Xian'er is very attentive. He tilted his head, strummed the strings seriously and began to test the sound. During this period, he whispered: "Recalling the time when we met by voice in Yichun Courtyard, the young master said that Xian'er didn't understand the rhythm.
, and even smashed the guqin, which made Xian'er angry for a long time. But later, after carefully understanding what the young master said about the sound of the piano, she felt that it made sense. I think the young master is a person who is very good at music, so Xian'er should be more careful, otherwise he will
I was laughed at by the young master."
Xia Shang smiled: "Don't worry about it. Listening to the piano is just a state of mind. Techniques are trivial. In fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to them. Just follow your heart and do whatever you want."
"Then Xian'er is showing off his embarrassment."
The sound falls, the sound rises, and the music comes.
It’s been a long time since the small courtyard of the Xia family has been intoxicated by such wonderful music. Good piano, good skills, and good people, the three of them echo each other, blend into one, and turn into the most beautiful piano music floating in the air, even far away.
All the birds were also attracted, stopping all over the garden, chirping and jumping happily, becoming an even more beautiful background sound.
The tune is familiar to Xia Shang, it was exactly the one Miss Xian'er played when we were at Yichun Courtyard.
"Although I am fond of the harp, who will listen when I open my mouth? When the Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao Tao, the music is resolute, and the joy is full of friendship, it is time to go back? If you are not a good man, you hold a harp, shed two tears, and sigh three times..."
The same music, the same voice, the same people.
After a few months, it sounds like it has more flavor than before.
It is not difficult to see that Xian'er must have practiced after listening to Xia Shang's instructions, and she was even more amazing when she played it today than before.
The top name in Yichun Courtyard seemed to suddenly overlap with Miss Xian'er again, and turned into that flirtatious woman with a hint of charm that makes people unable to help but think about her.
Seeing Miss Xian'er at this moment, Xia Shang had a little doubt.
If Miss Xian'er was just acting on occasion in Yichun Garden, what does the stunning beauty at this moment mean? Could it be that she was just acting on occasion?
Is this the true face of Miss Xian'er now, or is she the chivalrous girl you were before?
Xia Shang was still confused when the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
I don't want time to fly so fast under the wonderful music, and the music ends in a blink of an eye.
"Sir, how do you think Xian'er plays?"
"Pah...pah...pah..."
A burst of soft applause came, but it was not from Xia Shang. Outside the pavilion, a girl in green walked slowly, surrounded by two little maids. Xian'er frowned, the person who came was none other than Liu Ruyan, who was also
She is dressed in a rich dress and has been carefully dressed up. Although she is not as beautiful as Xian'er, she has an innate softness than Xian'er.
"Ruyan is also good at music. I think I have some accomplishments. I have never admired anyone in my life. I never thought that Sister Xianer's piano skills are so superb. She really impressed her. I will definitely ask Sister Xianer to give me some advice someday."
yes."
Seeing Liu Ruyan, Xia Shang frowned inadvertently, maybe he was repelled because he couldn't figure out Liu Ruyan's thoughts.
But Liu Ruyan did not reject Xia Shang at all. She walked up to Xia Shang and greeted him with a smile: "How are you, young master? Can I sit next to you?"
"Don't be formal, just sit down."
Liu Ruyan smiled, but she smiled very carefully, especially the smoky eyebrows, which were her second pair of eyes. There were infinite tender words between the slight frown, which made people feel pity.
Even Xia Shang couldn't stop such a sad look. He couldn't bear it, so he gently grabbed the other person's hand and held it in his palm to encourage him.
After all, they are considered husband and wife, so it shouldn't matter if they touch their hands, and they are really soft.
Xia Shang glanced at Liu Ruyan curiously and found that the other person's eyes were filled with emotion and a layer of mist. If there were no outsiders, he might have turned into tears at this moment.
This girl is really pitiful, and it makes people's hearts drunk. A small handshake can move her so much. Xia Shang was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions, so he quickly changed the subject: "Listen to what you just said, you also understand
Qin music? How about playing one too?"
Liu Ruyan lowered her head, a little shy: "Master, how can the Nu family's piano skills compare with Sister Xian'er? It's better not to show off one's shame."
Xia Shang added: "Whether it's good or bad, if you're willing to show off your skills, that's fine."
With Xia Shang's encouragement, Liu Ruyan was eager to give it a try. When she got to the piano, she waited for Xian'er to get out of the way.
Xian'er didn't speak, only glanced at Liu Ruyan coldly, calmly sat down where Liu Ruyan had just been, took an orange, and peeled it slowly.
Liu Ruyan tried the piano and then started playing.
Unlike Xian'er, Liu Ruyan's tunes are not good, or even average. What's more, there are some mistakes.
Xian'er ate the orange, lowered her head and smiled softly, saying to herself that it was rumored that Liu Ji was very thoughtful and good at scheming. Apart from not knowing martial arts, she had all kinds of skills. She didn't expect that her piano skills were so poor, so the rumors in the world were not entirely true.
Right? You even have some doubts. Did you make a mistake? This person is really Liu Ji from the Red Flower Club?
Perhaps feeling the chaos of his own music, Liu Ruyan became more and more nervous, and the tunes became more and more chaotic, even causing noise due to playing errors.
"Young Master, you also eat oranges." Xian'er ignored the music and peeled oranges for Xia Shang seriously and brought them to Xia Shang's mouth. She thought that Xia Shang would naturally accept her kindness, but she didn't expect the other party to speak calmly.
:"Hold on."
Then he stood up, sat down behind Liu Ruyan, and held her hands: "Don't be nervous, I'll teach you." (To be continued)
