There is room for the evil peasant woman

Silk and bamboo orchestral instruments and drums sounded together, and the music flowed and danced like gurgling water. Different melodies were intertwined, pushing the banquet to a climax...

After the dancers retreated, Mrs. Zheng said loudly: "Autumn is getting darker and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom. It's the best time to enjoy chrysanthemums. Today's autumn chrysanthemum feast has many rare varieties, all of which I spent a lot of time on. I found it with great effort, ladies and gentlemen, you can take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gorgeously dressed woman in the crowd said: "Mrs. Zheng, wouldn't it be boring if we just admire chrysanthemums? Can we add something to make this banquet more interesting?"

While the woman was talking, Xia Anning leaned towards Shen Yan's ear: "Look, the person speaking now is the daughter of a scholar in Fuquan Town next door. The scholar did not become a private school teacher, but went into business. He was very lucky. , the business is booming. Now, he can be regarded as one of the top wealthy businessmen in Fuquan Town, but his daughter, I have met her several times before, likes to show off, I guess she has practiced something on her own. , I want to perform in front of everyone.”

Sure enough, not long after Xia Anning finished speaking, the woman saluted Mrs. Zheng and said, "In my opinion, why not let all ladies and ladies show off your talents, write poems, paint, play music and dance, wouldn't it be better! Mrs. Zheng What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile: "This is a good idea. What do you ladies and ladies think of this proposal?"

"We will not participate. Let these juniors go and have fun. We will just watch."

The older man shook his head and led his junior out.

Of course they are very willing for their children to show off at the banquet. After all, although this Qiu Ju Banquet is called the Qiu Ju Banquet, it is actually a blind date. Zheng Shuyan has also reached the marriageable age. What happened to Zheng Shuyan some time ago was terrible. Mrs. Zheng was so frightened that now that she was free, she wanted to hold a banquet to meet a suitable family.

"Since everyone has no objection, let me consider this set of jewelry as the first prize." Mrs. Zheng said, and she replaced the maid and brought up an exquisite gift box. At Mrs. Zheng's signal, the maid Open the gift box.

As soon as it was opened, the eyes of everyone in the audience immediately lit up, "Gulang Pavilion's latest model - crystal-encrusted diamond hollow gold hairpin! Red butterfly carved double happiness! What else is it?"

"That's the treasure of Qiongzhen Pavilion - a red sandalwood crystal jade bracelet!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone in the audience immediately became excited, looking at the bracelet with gleaming eyes. If they were just excited about the ornaments from Gulang Pavilion in front of them, the things from Qiongzhen Pavilion were more than just exciting. .

Qiongzhen Pavilion is one of the best jewelry and rouge shops in Qinglan. There is no Qiongzhen Pavilion in a small place like Qingshui Town. Only those wealthy towns close to the capital can have this shop. If you can really own a Qiongzhen Pavilion It's something from the pavilion, I wish I could wear it every day!

"Mrs. Zheng, is this gift... too expensive?" Although he said this, the man's eyes never left the items on the gift box.

"Since it's a banquet, everyone can just have fun. The lucky draw is just the icing on the cake, it's nothing."

Mrs. Zheng responded with a slight smile. After receiving this answer, many people who did not want to participate began to secretly add up what they were good at in their minds, thinking of overpowering others.

Mrs. Zheng called a few people who had some friendship with her and were good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to serve as judges, waiting for comments.

"My aunt is really willing to do it! Such a precious thing, if it is said to be a lottery, it should be a lottery! I don't know what she thinks..." Xia Anning whispered in Shen Yan's ear.

"Mrs. Zheng has her own plans, but do you want to go? I look very interested in you?"

Shen Yan picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it slowly.

"Go, why don't you go here? With these things, the people in my family will be jealous for who knows how long. It's a wonderful thing to think about!"

After all the affairs in the venue were ready, Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Everything is ready. Today is the Qiu Ju Banquet, so everything should be based on this theme. As long as it is related to this, it will be fine." !" As soon as Mrs. Zheng finished speaking, the scholar's daughter took the lead in standing up, "I'll come first!"

As he spoke, he looked around at the surrounding scenery and said slowly, confidently: "When the autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the branches are covered with yellow flowers. Guests come to enjoy the chrysanthemum scenery and drink chrysanthemum wine together."

This poem fits the theme very well, has a sense of rhythm, and beautiful imagery, but it lacks some innovation and can only be described as ordinary.

However, everyone in the audience still praised and applauded.

The scholar's daughter was confident and slowly raised her head, but when she saw that after she finished her poem, the response was mediocre and did not achieve the effect she expected at all, she stamped her feet angrily, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng shook her head slightly. Such a person is too restless to achieve great things!

After the woman, there were many people performing, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, poetry and tea art... everything was available. For a while, there was endless laughter and laughter, and it was very lively.

Among them, Xia Anning performed the piano art. However, Xia Anning's appearance while playing the piano was very different from what Shen Yan had seen in the past.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, her hair was half tied up, and she had a few simple jasper hairpins, and she had an orchid-like temperament.

The guqin was placed on top of it, and her slender hands gently plucked out a few light notes, and her fingers fell on the qin like a drizzle. The strings vibrated under her fingertips, producing melodious notes. Every note is as crystal clear as a pearl, as if carrying a hint of warmth, gently brushing against everyone's heartstrings.

As the sound of the piano rises and falls, her fingers dance on the strings, sometimes gently, sometimes passionately. Her arms and shoulders swayed gently to the melody, and her whole body seemed to be integrated with the sound of the piano.

When Shen Yan saw this, his eyes flashed slightly, he put down the hand holding the teacup, and quietly enjoyed the music.

The melodious sound of the piano flowed out from her fingertips, one string at a time, exciting.

The sound of the piano changed from a low murmur, struggle, pain, and escape at the beginning, and then gradually became lighter, as if she had broken free from the cage that trapped her. Slowly, it began to become passionate and ambitious, as if she was bathing in fire. Like a reborn phoenix, ushering in a new life...

Shen Yan knew a little about piano skills, but Xia Anning's piano skills were something she rarely appreciated in her previous life.

She seemed to be really taken away by the sound of the piano to the past that belonged to Xia Anning, and witnessed Xia Anning's growth.

As the last note fell, the venue suddenly fell into silence. Shen Yan came back to her senses, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"it is good!"

As soon as the sound of Xia Anning's piano fell, everyone reacted, and then thunderous applause broke out, and the praises were endless!

After listening to the music played by Xia Anning, everyone's eyes changed.

Xia Anning finished cleaning up and sat next to Shen Yan, "How's it going, Shopkeeper Shen, what do you think of my playing?"

Coming!
