Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 52

"Jingtai, Your Highness, is there any problem with that place?" Mo Qingyun was slightly stunned. The Jingtai is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and there are beautiful scenery in all seasons. It is especially wonderful to watch the snow in winter. Taitung has a warm pavilion, and Mo Wanyan will be here In his opinion, it is perfectly normal to set up a meeting to enjoy the snow.

It's just that His Royal Highness's tone doesn't sound quite right.

"Mirror stage." Mo Junli's brows twitched uncontrollably when he heard this, "It's not a big problem... Cousin Yun, do you know what kind of people that girl Le Wan invited this time?"

"The left ones are just the ones I saw in previous years." Mo Qingyun pondered for a while, "The young masters and young ladies who are about the same age as her from all the members above the third rank, plus a few more nobles who are in her eyes and whose family background is slightly weaker. Female."

"Only this time, I don't know why, the young master of the Xiao family who doesn't like to get involved in this matter has come." Mo Qingyun's tone paused slightly, "Le Wan said that she also invited the young lady from the Duke's Mansion." , but with Ah Yin's body, I reckon that she will probably be absent this year, so it would be nice to have a second Miss Mu."

"Cousin Yun, you said that Xiao Hongze is also here this time?" After hearing this, Mo Junli's expression froze. The Xiao residence is the most unique existence in the Qianping family, and Xiao Hongze is even more of a dude.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was the founding minister of Qianping back then, with a transcendent status and the most outstanding achievements. The Xiao family was even the only prince with a different surname in Qianping. It is truly a famous family of several generations, a century-old family, compared to Mu Guogong The age of the government is much longer.

However, in the past two generations, the talents of the Xiao family have withered. Not only did they lose their hereditary titles four generations ago, except for the old grandpa who is still serving as the current imperial tutor, the whole family can't find a second third-rank official.

However, even so, according to the generations of in-laws of the Xiao Mansion, coupled with the merits of the old Mrs. Xiao's life, as long as the old matriarch is alive, the foundation of the Xiao Mansion will be unshakable for a day.

As for Xiao Hongze... His father is the second son of the Grand Tutor, and his mother is the niece of his imperial grandmother. After the death of Princess Chang An, the Empress Dowager was very kind to her niece, and the status of the second son of the Xiao family rose accordingly.

Xiao Hongze was originally a dandy, but now he is even more obsessed with eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Not to mention sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows all day, he also has a hobby that makes him very contemptible.

This dandy loves young children, especially those under twelve.

——Mu Xici is not yet twelve.

Mo Junli's face collapsed for a moment, the same sentence, he didn't know whether Mu Xici's situation was consistent with his guess, but no matter what kind of her she was, some troubles would inevitably happen today, but the result was not the same.

Either Xiao Hongze uttered wild words and was shot to death by the little girl, or Xiao Hongze was beaten to death by Mu Xiuning after Xiao Hongze uttered wild words.

... Anyway, this person will not survive.

Mo Junli pressed the corner of his forehead subconsciously, Mo Qingyun didn't understand, so he said, "That's right, I just saw him coming and guessed that Ayin would not come, so I found an excuse to slip out."

"Cousin Yun, don't you know that the third miss of the Mu family returned to Beijing last month?" Mo Junli took a deep breath, managed to gather his composure, and patiently explained a few words to Mo Qingyun, "So, Today is probably the first time Miss Mu San officially appears in front of everyone—with Sister Mu's temper, she will definitely come."

Mu Xiyin would never let Mu Xici go to the meeting alone, especially when Mu Shiyan, Xiao Miaotong and others must be there.

"Ah?" Mo Qingyun was stunned, and a moment of blankness flashed in her eyes, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you forgot that I have been in the suburbs of Beijing for the last month, and started training the new camp of the Imperial Forest Army..."

He just came out of the army the day before yesterday, and today he was dragged into the palace by Le Wan, where did he know the news?Mu Xiuning is not in the same army as him!

"It's okay, you know now." Mo Junli curled the corners of his lips stiffly, and the two cousins ​​looked at each other, then turned and walked towards the mirror stage.

*
In the warm pavilion on the mirror stage, Mu Xici stared at the girl playing the piano with downcast eyes in front of the screen, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

In terms of appearance, Xiao Miaotong is not the best, even Mu Shiyan is a little more delicate than her; but when it comes to the demeanor of the ladies, none of the noble ladies present can match her.

Including her sister.

Mu Xici tapped her knees through the clothes with her fingers shrunk in her sleeves. Because of her body, sister was gentle and demure, but after all, she came from a family of generals. The strong heroic spirit that can't be removed is different from that of ordinary boudoir women in terms of temperament.

On the other hand, Xiao Miaotong is the most standard "every lady" here. She is dignified and polite, calm and self-restraining. "Perfect".

She is as cold as if she has no weaknesses, and she can find the most beneficial path in front of her at any time——

This person is more ruthless than Mu Shiyan, and also much more difficult than Mu Shiyan.

Mu Xici slightly curled the corners of her lips. If I remember correctly, this Miss Xiao in her previous life was often behind Mu Shiyan's back to give advice and run on her elder sister.

She should also charge some interest in this life.

The little girl leaned back lazily, half-closed her eyes as if listening to enjoyment.

It has to be said that Xiao Miaotong, as a lady of a century-old family, has excellent piano skills. She played "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" ① like a river flowing eastward, full of misty clouds, full of fairy and ethereal artistic conception, and full of chanting. Chuo Note ② techniques.

The melody of the qin is ever-changing, and the meaning of the qin is clear and distant. Mu Xici tapped the beat with her fingertips and sighed silently.

In fact, Xiao Miaotong's piano skills are proficient enough, but it's a pity that he will miss the meaning of this song "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun".

What kind of fairy song is this? "Every desire for Jiuyi is covered by Xiaoxiang water and clouds" ③, the song was composed in the troubled times, and what is contained in it is clearly the inexhaustible melancholy and melancholy!

After all, she is a girl who grew up in the middle of the capital. She has never seen the hundreds of miles of yellow sand in the desert, let alone the thousands of miles of ice in the north. When she saw the name of the piano piece "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", she subconsciously thought It depicts the water and clouds of Xiaoxiang.

It's harmless, just lacks a little charm.

Accompanied by a light and big pinch ④, the last piece of "Shadow Contains Vientiane" was played on the radio, and there was immediate applause from all around.

Amidst the noise, Xiao Miaotong slowly stood away from the piano bench, and leaned towards the surroundings slightly, with a calm voice and a courteous tone: "Miaotong is showing his ugliness, the song "Shuiyun in Xiaoxiang" is just for attracting jade, I don't know how to answer it Come down, is there any young lady who is willing to come forward and show it?"

"Today is a rare and good day. If you just talk about the sky and enjoy the snow, it would be too boring." After Xiao Miao finished her fairy tale, her eyes lightly swept across the crowd, and all the young ladies who were caught by her shrank back half an inch—— With such pearls and jade in front of them, how dare they go on stage?I'm afraid that if I show timidity as soon as I go on stage, it will become a joke.

The noble ladies looked at each other and remained silent. Seeing this, Xiao Miaotong turned her eyes to look at Mu Shiyan. The latter understood, and said with a chuckle: "I don't know about others, but Yan'er listens to Qin Yi. The master praised the third sister, saying that the third sister is talented, she can learn the piano at a glance, and she must play the piano well——sister, how about you come up to show everyone today?"

As soon as these words fell, the eyes of the girls immediately fell on Mu Xici.
