Chapter 169： Douqin (one more)

Chapter 169 Fighting the Qin (one more)

Now, Gu Yanfei was sure that he understood.

"I'll help you!" Gu Yanfei said with a smile, the corners of his lips curved into a confident and flying arc.

A few messy strands of hair were blown by the cold wind and caressed her jade-like cheeks, which made her elegant and graceful.

Wei Jiao Niang and Lu Qin looked at each other again, and the two laughed almost simultaneously, the laughter was like a bell.

Both of them snuggled up on Gu Yanfei's shoulders intimately, making Gu Yanfei deeply feel what a left hug is.

Several eyes around looked at the three of them.

While talking and laughing, the group came to the Imperial Garden.

Liushuang, the maid in charge of the palace, took the girls to a water pavilion with a width of three rooms by the lake.

This Tinglan Water Pavilion has been laid out in advance. The house is scented with incense, and the floor is covered with wool carpets. The piano case, table and chairs, book case, chessboard, etc. are all available. Several silver frost charcoal basins are burned inside. suitable.

As soon as the girls who were about to freeze went in, they felt as if they were alive again, and they took off their cloaks one after another.

"Little girl!"

Wei Jiao Niang, Gu Yanfei and the others walked to the entrance of the Water Pavilion, and a girl in a green dress happily waved to Wei Jiao Niang.

Wei Jiao Niang took the tung oil umbrella and handed it to a palace maid next to her. She turned her head and whispered to Gu Yanfei, "The eldest prince will definitely come in a while."

She also imitated Gu Yanfei's way of doing a pinch calculation, as if to say that the god's calculation has just been calculated.

Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin were amused by her, they laughed happily and happily, they walked over the threshold together.

In the water pavilion, most of the girls have already taken their seats. There is still a clear distinction between the nobles and the noble family. The noble daughters sit on the east side, and the noble family girls sit on the west side.

Behind a red sandalwood inlaid shell piano case by the west wall, a dignified and beautiful woman from an aristocratic family sat gracefully, her hands on the strings, and she tried the sound first, and then plucked the strings with her slender fingers. Played a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

High mountains and flowing water meet bosom friend.

Playing "Mountains and Flowing Water" is naturally to wait for bosom friends.

Wei Jiao Niang motioned Gu Yanfei and Lu Qin to look at the girl who was playing the qin with her eyes, and said in a low voice, "They must have got the news, otherwise, what kind of qin are they playing in this winter."

While they were talking, they came to the girl in Cuiyi, and Wei Jiao Niang asked with a smile, "What shall we play?"

"Play hide and seek." Cuiyi girl suggested.

Lu Qin immediately rejected without thinking: "How can you play in such a small place, it's snowing outside now."

Said, she pushed open a window and looked at the lake outside the water pavilion. The clear lake water was sparkling in the wind and snow.

"Let's feed the fish." Lu Qin rolled her eyes and suggested with a smile, "I heard that there are a lot of gold and silver scale koi raised in this lake, and their whole body is covered with golden or silver scales. Extremely."

Lu Qin cheerfully greeted the maid to fetch fish food.

Wei Jiao Niang pointed at Lu Qin's forehead and told Gu Yanfei with a smile, "Yan Fei, this fellow A Qin is too lazy to move because of the cold weather."

Lu Qin stuck out her tongue playfully, winked at Gu Yanfei and smiled, not at all embarrassed by what she thought.

The two boxes of fish food were quickly brought up. The girls fed the fish, enjoyed the fish, ate snacks, and talked and laughed.

At the door, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged maid instructed a few palace maids to pour tea and water, and from time to time to add melons and fruits to the dishes, while he himself looked out from time to time.

After a while, a little waiter finally arrived belatedly with a tray.

The middle-aged waiter took the tray and passed the white porcelain wine jug and several wine glasses on the tray in person.

The tip of Wei Jiao Niang's nose moved, smelling the slightest hint of wine in the air, and blurted out, "Qiong Hualu."

said, Wei Jiao Niang touched her chin, her face showing a thoughtful look.

They, foreign ministers and daughters-in-law, are not allowed to drink casually except to attend palace banquets. They are afraid of losing their honor in front of the monarch. This is the rule, so the palace people will not drink alcohol casually.

Wei Jiao Niang squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the palace servant who served the wine, thinking: Could this be some kind of conspiracy?

In an instant, all the playbooks about palace fights that Wei Jiaoniang had seen came to her mind.

But in the next instant, Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and said to the middle-aged servant, "It's you."

"It's a servant." The middle-aged servant was somewhat flattered, and hurriedly said, "The servant's surname is He."

This father-in-law He was the father-in-law who brought the sedan chair to Xihuamen to pick up Gu Yanfei.

Eunuch He said respectfully: "This Qionghualu was given to the second girl by the First Prince."

He lowered his eyebrows and brought the jug of wine to the table, and quickly poured a glass of wine for Gu Yanfei.

"It's really Qiong Hualu, Jiao Niang, your nose is still so smart." Lu Qin praised in amazement, and exchanged a glance with Wei Jiao Niang in tacit understanding, meaning that the eldest prince is really a caring person.

"That's it." Wei Jiao Niang smugly touched her nose, blinked her right eye, and made a pun.

Wei Jiaoniang's grandfather, Duke Wei, was fond of wine. Although Wei Jiao Niang's drinking capacity was average, she had a good nose. As long as it was the wine she had drunk before, she would know it as soon as she smelled it.

The wine in the white porcelain cup is light amber, crystal clear and fragrant.

Gu Yanfei squinted and sipped the clear aroma of the wine, remembering that she once casually mentioned to Chu Yi that she wanted to try Qionghualu. She forgot what she said, but he didn't expect him to remember.

"Eunuch He, thank the First Prince for me." Gu Yanfei curled his lips into a smile and treated Eunuch He generously.

Eunuch He smiled and took the empty tray back, thinking in his heart: Gu Er girl seems to like to eat candied fruit, especially the carved plum **** have eaten several more than the others, so I have to ask someone to get some.

"Have a drink?" Gu Yanfei smiled and poured a glass of wine for Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and the other three girls at the same table.

As the wine poured down from the spout, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the pleasant aroma of the wine washed away the sweet and greasy fragrance around it.

Wei Jiao Niang and Lu Qin took the lead in toasting, and the other two girls were also informal, and also held the glass one after another. Only one girl in pink was a little hesitant, thinking that drinking in the palace was not right after all.

Wei Jiao Niang took a sip of the wine and sipped it carefully: "Ganoderma lucidum, honey, wolfberry, and..."

She tilted her little face, concentrating on the taste in her mouth, and always felt that there was an indescribable taste in the wine.

"Peony." A certain smiling voice rang in Wei Jiao Niang's ear.

Wei Jiao Niang's eyes lit up, she nodded hastily: "It's peony."

"Yan Fei, your tongue is smarter than mine!"

Lu Qin said, "With this peony, this Qionghualu is fragrant but not flamboyant, mellow and elegant, with a long and sweet taste."

"Good wine, really good wine!"

The girls applauded happily.

The crisp and lively voices of laughter and laughter floated clearly in the water pavilion, adding a bit of vitality to this cold and windy winter.

"It's so noisy!"

On the west side of the Water Pavilion, a yellow-robed girl sitting beside the piano said coldly, making no secret of her displeasure.

"I can't even appreciate the piano properly." The other girl in blue also frowned and looked at Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang, her red lips pursed tightly, and she snorted coldly, "To be noisy in the palace, what a formality!"

The melodious sound of the qin continued, and the girl in purple who played the qin stroked the qin with her fingers, looking down at the strings with concentration, frowning lightly.

Several other daughters of aristocratic families also nodded their heads in sympathy, and secretly said: These noble ladies are really rude and hard to be elegant.

The noisy noise made their good mood of listening to the piano and enjoying the snow swept away.

Only Yu Chaoyun's expression remained the same. He rubbed the scented **** in his sleeves with a gesture of caressing his sleeves, and reminded lightly: "They may plan to be like when they were in Shanglin Garden last time..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other people in the room changed instantly, and they couldn't help but think of Wei Jiaoniang and the others outside the hunting ground that day, deliberately disturbing the sound of the piano with the sound of gongs and drums.

At that time, I accidentally broke the strings when I was playing the piano. It was really hateful! Zeng, who was dressed in yellow, stroked her fingers, and her fingertips recalled the pain of breaking the string that day.

Miss Zeng repeatedly stroked her trembling fingertips, bit her lower lip with her jade teeth, and squeezed out four words between her teeth: "Too deceiving."

After all, didn't Wei Jiao Niang dare to be so arrogant because of the backing of Duke Wei?

"Miss Yu is right, they must be intentional!" The girl in blue kept her voice low, barely maintaining the demeanor of an aristocratic girl.

The girl in purple who was playing the piano naturally heard their conversation, and with a flick of her fingers, the sound of the piano became chaotic.

She frowned tightly, and simply pressed the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

The surroundings were quiet, and the laughter from the right seemed to become more harsh.

"I see..." Yu Chaoyun said again, these two words attracted the attention of all the daughters of aristocratic families.

Yu Chaoyun continued calmly and said, "It's better to play the piano with them."

Douqin?

All the daughters of the aristocratic family were stunned and looked at each other.

Douqin is a tradition of the Dajing Dynasty.

It is rumored that during the reign of Emperor Taizu, he often made private visits in private clothes to observe the feelings of the people.

One year when Emperor Taizu went to Yangzhou, he came across a painting boat on a boat on the Qinhuai River. The two sides had a dispute over the matter of giving way. The two large ships were blocked on the river, making it difficult for other ships to travel.

Emperor Taizu saw that there was a stunning beauty on the painting boat, and heard that the beauty was Hua Qingyi, the first talented woman in Yangzhou, with outstanding piano skills, so he proposed to fight the piano with the opponent.

Hua Qingyi accepted the challenge, and after finishing the song, Emperor Taizu sighed and said, "This song should only be heard in the sky, but it can be heard a few times in the world."

Emperor Taizu had a heart of pity for talent and beauty, but it was a pity that King Xiang had the intention, but the goddess had no intention. Huaqing Yi politely rejected Emperor Taizu's good intentions.

Since then, the women of the Dajing Dynasty have a tradition of fighting the qin.

Douqin "doing" is not "spirit", but "talent".

Miss Zeng raised her eyebrows and squinted at Wei Jiaoniang and others, and said with a bit of sarcasm, "They can play the piano?"

"How can the light of this firefly compete with the sun and the moon!" The purple-clothed girl said with a half-smile, and plucked a string casually.

The faces of several other aristocratic girls also showed the same ridicule and disdain.

It is said that these noble ladies of noble families can all draw bows on horses, and carry knives when dismounted, just because of their rough hands and feet, even if they have learned the piano for a few days, it is only half a bucket of water!

Let them beat gongs and drums!
