Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 70

Yu'er's face brightened, "Is Master Su Ye playing the piano?"

Kong Linglong didn't speak, the sound of the piano became more and more mellow and soft, even people who don't know the rhythm can feel the tenderness hidden in the sound of the piano.

Yu'er called a girl to inquire, and immediately approached Kong Linglong with a smile: "Young Master Su Ye sent someone to bring him a Guqin early this morning. I really can't believe that Young Master Su Ye even plays the piano so well."

The ancients said that women were required to play qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Suye, a man, was so proficient in the art of qin.Listening to this song is not only beautiful, but also the fingering is superb.

Kong Linglong said indifferently: "Bring the account book. It's Beixiang's turn today."

Yu'er's smile was slowly put away, and she lowered her head and handed over the account book.

The sound of the piano outside the courtyard kept ringing for an hour or two. Yu'er couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound of the piano. She thought it would be good to play for half a day at most, but she didn't expect that after noon, Kong Linglong didn't order dinner , as if all his mind was on the account book, the sound of the piano also accompanied him until the afternoon.

The strings of the Guqin are so hard that the player's fingers will not be able to support them after playing for an hour.Even Qin Ji, who makes a living from playing the qin, never played it non-stop for a whole day.

If you play like this, your fingers will be useless.

Yu'er couldn't bear it any longer, and called out to Kong Linglong who seemed to be concentrating on reading the account book: "Miss, Mr. Suye, he... If he keeps playing, his hands won't be able to stand it!"

Kong Linglong didn't seem to hear, and slowly turned a page of the account book.

Yu'er boldly stood in front of Kong Linglong and said, "Miss, did you hear what the servant said?"

Kong Linglong lifted her eyes slightly, and looked at Yu'er's face with some cold eyes: "If he can't stand his fingers, he can stop playing at any time, no one is forcing him."

With such indifference, Yu'er stomped her feet anxiously: "Miss, what's the matter with you, Mr. Su Ye has finally returned safely, why do you seem to be still angry with Mr. Su Ye?"

This is what Yu'er can't figure out, what's wrong?Mr. Suye was clearly the survivor of the catastrophe, and he even went to the county government office for no reason. Why did the young lady's attitude suddenly change after he came back?
She was naturally puzzled.

Holding the account book in her hand, Kong Linglong glanced at Yu'er lightly: "I'm not angry. When Suye came to Kong's house, I made it clear that we would not interfere with each other. If he wants to play the piano, he is naturally up to him. Why should I?" To interrupt?"

Yu'er was worried and annoyed, but she had nothing to persuade her, so she could only stand there with a frown and a bitter face.

The sound of the zither was so melodious that even the servants of the Confucian Mansion stopped, and there were some little maids in the courtyard, whispering to each other, obviously they were also joyful to the sound of the zither.

Kong Linglong put down the ledger lightly, and the sun outside the window began to turn westward. Obviously, this day will pass soon.

She got up from the chair, and Yu'er was weak: "Miss, do you want to eat?"

Kong Linglong didn't say a word, and walked slowly towards Xiyuan, Yu'er followed, suddenly joyful.

Suye was sitting in the most conspicuous pavilion in Xiyuan, dressed in white, with her head lowered and focused on the strings.But he didn't feel it when he was far away, but when he got closer, he would find that his hands were already unstable, and his fingertips were even trembling slightly.

Even so, his expression didn't change, he just played the piece under his finger very intently.

Kong Linglong was standing a few steps away from the pavilion, looking at him, but Suye obviously didn't notice that the sound of his piano was continuously flowing out from under his fingers.

Yu'er watched nervously and worriedly, she just felt that Mr. Suye had been treated harshly by those thieves for a few days before, now that he is playing the piano so disregarding his body when he comes back, he is really a strong man, how can he bear it?
Kong Linglong stepped forward again, this time Suye finally noticed someone approaching, and immediately raised her head to see Kong Linglong in front of her.

There was a flash of joy in his eyes, and even the music of the piano under his hand was out of rhythm.

But he stabilized quickly, but now he was looking at Kong Linglong, while his fingers seemed to be sensing the strings automatically.

In fact, it can be seen that his hands are already shaking more and more violently. After playing the piano for such a long time, he can still keep every pitch correct. One can imagine how much perseverance and ability are required.

It's just that the rhythm of Su Ye's playing the piano was obviously much slower. He just looked at Kong Linglong with deep eyes.

"Stop playing, Suye." Kong Linglong said while looking at him indifferently.

The sound of the zither stopped, and Suye's eyes moved: "Linglong."

Yu'er felt uncomfortable in her presence, so she could only lower her head as hard as she could, hoping that neither Miss nor Suye could see her.It is also strange.

Kong Linglong looked at the qin in front of him. The Kong family was a businessman and rarely had any elegant music, and this qin was even half-old, but just for today's half-day qin, who would believe that it came from the old qin in front of him? In the xylophone?
Either it is someone who plays the piano, and his skills are too high.

Kong Linglong looked at Su Ye: "You don't have to do this."

Su Ye's eyes moved, as if he didn't say anything, and she didn't ask, but both of them knew something was wrong.

Su Ye pressed his fingers on the strings, his knuckles were already in pain, and when he laid on the strings like this, his whole hand looked as soft and boneless as a woman's.

"Do you like to listen?" After a while, he asked in a low voice.

Like it or not, such a beautiful song, I believe that anyone who has ears in Kongzhai will be able to enjoy it today.But these are not important, Kong Linglong stared at him: "Young master's piano skills are outstanding, not for someone as shallow as Linglong."

Su Ye's hands curled up slightly, addressing him as young master, even more isolated himself to a superficial level.

But Suye's face just darkened, but he raised his head and smiled softly: "I will play for you every day."

This piece of music is pleasing to the body and mind. Kong Linglong looks at the account books every day, and it is extremely taxing. With this piano sound, it is indeed much more pleasant and comfortable.

But Kong Linglong just looked at him, but still didn't respond.

After returning home, Yu'er didn't say a word, she knew that she was just a servant girl, and it would be counterproductive to intervene in the relationship between Miss and Mr. Su Ye, but what Mr. Su Ye said today was not pleasant to her.

When I left Xiyuan, I saw Kong Linglong's own courtyard gate. Two maids guarding the courtyard were preventing anyone from entering. Kong Linglong didn't look sideways, as if she didn't see it.

I heard a soft and somewhat weak voice from the yard: "Please, let me see Miss."

The two maids guarding the gate looked at her: "You said you were Miss's maid, but we have never seen you before, how did you come here?"

The weak voice had a sense of grievance: "I, I was indeed brought back by the lady. If you let me meet the lady, you can know."

The maid guarding the yard obviously couldn't be trusted: "I said we have never seen you by Miss's side, and you can't see Miss when you say you see Miss. Besides, if Miss can use you, there is no need for you to come here. Miss has already sent someone to look for you." you."

This is indeed the truth, and it is all the more embarrassing because it is the truth.

Kong Linglong looked at the weak and somewhat pitiful figure, and said lightly, "Nie Qianqian."

The voice reached her ears, and Nie Qianqian turned around in great surprise. When she really saw Kong Linglong standing in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt down: "Miss, Qianqian has finally seen you!"

I don’t know how many days have passed since I arrived at Kong’s house. Kong Linglong has never seen her once. From the beginning, Nie Qianqian was full of anticipation, but now her heart is full of panic. She was abandoned in the most remote courtyard, and even that courtyard was rarely visited by people. , At night, she even thought that she would be left in this barren place for the rest of her life.

So seeing Kong Linglong, Nie Qianqian showed her weak and pitiful side as much as possible.Most of it comes from the heart.

Kong Linglong looked at her and asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"

Nie Qianqian lived in the remote Nanyuan arranged by her for three months, and finally couldn't stay any longer.

Nie Qianqian froze immediately, then raised her head and took a few steps on her knees, grabbed Kong Linglong's dress, and said earnestly: "Miss, you are Qianqian's lifesaver, Qianqian vowed to repay Miss' kindness, please let Qianqian stay by your side Will you serve me?"

It is false to repay the kindness, and it is true not to want to live alone anymore. Kong Linglong looked at the tears on her face lightly and said, "Do you want to serve me?"

When Nie Qianqian heard that Kong Linglong didn't refuse, she immediately felt hopeful in her heart, and begged even more: "Since Qianqian has sold herself to the young lady, she has already regarded the young lady as Qianqian's lifelong support in her heart. I just ask the young lady not to leave Qianqian alone again." Staying in the South Garden, I can only sit and wait all day long, but I can't serve Miss, Qianqian is really uneasy!"

What he said was really emotional, in order not to endure panic and live alone in Nanyuan, what he said was somewhat sincere.

Nie Qianqian's hands holding Kong Linglong's dress were trembling. Yu'er knew about this Qianqian girl who was bought by the young lady. After so long, to be honest, she even forgot about her.

There was a faint coldness in Kong Linglong's eyes. She bought this Nie Qianqian back then because of the constant involvement in her previous life.And the usefulness of Nie Qianqian is indeed not to stay in Nanyuan all the time.

During these days, she just wanted to see how this "concubine" who was weak and clever in all kinds of ways in her previous life would react in the end when she treated her coldly in the courtyard.

"Okay," Kong Linglong continued without waiting for Nie Qianqian to show her ecstasy, "From today onwards, you don't have to go back to Nanyuan, go and pack your clothes, and I will do what you want."

Nie Qianqian couldn't hide her joy, and quickly kowtowed on the ground several times: "Thank you, miss, thank you, miss!"

After kowtowing, Nie Qianqian hurriedly went back to Nanyuan to pack her things, and Kong Linglong also brought Yu'er into the courtyard.

Yu'er asked curiously in a low voice: "What does Miss want her to do?"

Kong Linglong gently put down the round fan in her hand, her eyes were deep: "Let her serve Su Ye."
