Chapter 19 Pipa Condensation
Shaohua carefully took over the pipa and lifted the wrap cloth. At the same time, his face showed surprise. She looked at Mage Rong hesitantly, saw her nodding, and quickly hugged the pipa in front of her. As soon as the pipa got it, the posture came out, pressing the string with his left hand and plucking the sound with his right hand. After randomly plucking a few strings to test the sound, his eyes suddenly brightened, but his heart settled down.
For a moment of silence, I saw white jade-like fingers moving gently. With the sound of stirred the heartstrings, Mother Rong's eyebrows trembled slightly. And then the increasingly rapid tune was like the golden drum battle horn before the expedition, the Ma'er-Lenin-Lenin battalion. The sound rises and falls, sometimes it is urgent and slow, or it is clicked or dialed, and a song "Huaiyin Pingchu" comes out like flowing clouds and flowing water. The score seems to be engraved in Shaohua's mind, without stopping, skillful and natural.
When the pipa sounded, the girls in the flower hall next door were also attracted involuntarily. One by one, he stared at Shaohua like an old monk, sitting quietly in the chair, but his fingers played quickly on the strings. The song was like the sound of nature, but it made them stand up, and their whole heart was nervous with the ups and downs of the song, and involuntarily grasped their chests.
"Five ladies, that's enough." Mother Rong suddenly pressed the strings, and the song stopped abruptly.
The girls outside the door were also relieved and looked at each other, looking at each other with condescension, and couldn't say their surprise. Only Shaohua came to his senses and looked up at Mami Rong puzzledly, "Sir, I haven't finished playing yet."
"Five ladies were born in a scholarly family and should not learn this kind of martial arts music. If you really like the pipa, from today on, use your left hand instead. Right-hand martial arts and left-hand martial arts, this is the knowledge that everyone who plays the pipa knows. I have a piece of music here, so I'll send my wife to learn.
So when Mother Rong saw Shaohua press the string with her left hand and dial the sound with her right hand, her shock was indescribable. Although there is no difference between noble and cheap songs, a little lady raised in a deep boudoir can play exquisite pipa martial arts music, which is really incredible. Mother Rong quickly calmed down, took out the pipa ancient song that had been hiding behind her back and handed it to Shaohua.
Shaohua took over and turned over a few times, feeling a little boring. "Sir, the literary music is soft, but not as touching as the martial arts music." Naturally, she knew that the text was long, melodious and pleasant, but far less thrilling than Wuqu.
Mother Rong restrained her expression, looked solemn, and said seriously, "The fifth lady has forgotten that I'm here to teach the affairs of the lady's boudoir. The wife is the pearl and noble daughter of the world, and Lang Jun, who will marry in the future, must also be young and talented. What I can teach you is how to do things, not the sound of the wind and snow. The wife is 13 years old this year, and she should learn to cultivate herself qualitatively, so that she can teach her husband and children in the future.
Seeing Shaohua pursed his cherry lips tightly and unwillingly, he glanced at the embroidered handkerchief on her table and said helplessly, "If the embroidery work of the five women can be as outstanding as your pen and ink pipa, it will not be inconvenient for me to say anything to you."
Shaohua heard the implication and asked excitedly, "Sir, do you mean that as long as I can embroider well, or can I learn martial arts music?"
"It's not too late to talk about this issue when the five ladies can be embroidered into a complete handkerchief." Fortunately, Mian Rong's characterization is good, otherwise she will be angry by Shaohua's words.
"That won't work, sir, let's talk first. As long as I can embroider a complete veil, sir doesn't care what song I learn, right? Shaohua bargained with Mother Rong with a smile, which stunned the girls outside the house.
It is estimated that Shaohua is the only one who can bargain so playfully in front of Mother Rong, who can't be refuted.
Mother Rong looked at her for a long time and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "It depends on what kind of veil the wife can embroider." Mother Rong is not so easy to fool.
"What do you say, sir?" Shaohua was a little discouraged.
Mama Rong seemed to have been prepared for a long time. She took a picture of a mandarin duck playing with a line from the table. Seeing Shaohua's expression that her eyes were about to fall down, she couldn't help laughing. Seeing several other girls coming in, Mother Rong bowed and said, "I apologize to the ladies first. I have to leave here tomorrow and have some personal matters to deal with. I have told the elder this morning, and now I want to tell the ladies.
"When will you come back?" Wanhua asked worriedly.
"Ten days or four or five days at least."
"Can you accompany me, sir?"
"Some trivial private affairs, it's not convenient to bother."
After implicitly rejecting Yan Sui's proposal, Mother Rong looked at Shaohua beside her and blessed her. "I hope that when I return, the five ladies can embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water." After a pause, he said, "Water ducks don't count."
The girls covered their mouths and smiled softly, making Shaohua's faces hot. "Sir, you look down on my female red so much."
"It's not that I look down on it, but I haven't seen it." Mother Rong replied.
Shaohua opened his mouth to answer, hesitated for a moment, and said in a tone, "Then please wait and see."
"I just hope that the women don't forget their homework and will check them one by one when I return." This sentence is obviously said to Shaohua. Wanhua smiled and promised to help stare at Shaohua to learn from the female red, and Yan Sui also echoed, which made Shaohua one or two big. I looked at them sadly. The rhythm of buying one and get two free was specially aimed at her.
Because I want to leave the house, I have to go back early to pack my things and say goodbye to Liu. Therefore, Mother Rong ordered some homework and let them go back separately.
Once again, she went to school early because of Shaohua, and Wanhua and Yan Sui joked with her excitedly. As soon as they left the school, the girls began to chatter. What surprised them most was that Shaohua did something they didn't expect. Compared with Yan Sui's excitement and Jinhua's unwillingness, Wanhua felt a little proud and spoke much more powerfully. In addition to being excited, she did not forget to take out the appearance of an elder sister to persuade him.
"How did your grandfather let you learn this kind of music? He almost made you unhappy." Wanhua scolded lightly.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Shaohua retorted softly.
"Which gentleman taught the fifth sister's pipa? How to teach some terrible songs makes people's hair stand on end. Just outside the house, my heart was about to jump out. Jinhua held his chest, as if he had just been shocked.
"Why is this terrible? When I was a child, I heard... My grandfather told the story of Chu and Han competing with each other. This song is..." Shaohua was interrupted by Wanhua before he finished speaking. She sank her face and her expression was a little unhappy. "How does your little lady listen to these stories? What's good about fighting and killing? No wonder your husband was just about to talk about you."
Shaohua looked aggrieved. She used to grow up in northern Sichuan and saw many soldiers and generals. Naturally, she heard the stories of some heroes. Of course, these can't talk to Shaohua, so they have to smile and don't answer.
Yan Sui said enviously, "My husband is very kind to my fifth sister. When we studied on the same day, my husband favored you very much and gave you the pipa score, which is notable for you to argue like this. I thought my husband was a difficult person to talk to, but now it seems that he is quite easy to talk to his fifth sister. After Yan Sui finished speaking, the others nodded coincidentally and looked at Shaohua with the same eyes, wondering what she could do.
Jinhua said in a delicate voice, "The fifth sister is really a wonderful person. What the husband likes, the fifth sister can do anything by coincidence."
Wanhua was also puzzled, "The gentleman once said that she prefers the lute, but she has only heard one person play it wonderfully. I think that today's Wu Niang's pipa has also entered the husband's heart and reminds me of the old friend.
"The old man?" Yan Sui repeated.
Wanhua nodded and whispered, "It's Princess Anxi who just passed by."
Yan Sui said "ah" gently, quickly covered her mouth, and looked at the corners of other people's eyes drooping slightly, and she was embarrassed. Suddenly, the atmosphere became solemn. Shaohua had the biggest headache for them to raise this problem, although he repeatedly warned to accept reality. However, when I heard others mention the funeral of "myself" repeatedly, I was always a little awkward and changed the topic with haha: "Mr. Maybe is the first time I've seen such an unruly wife like me, and I'm so angry that I have nothing to say anything."
"I think so." Wanhua also felt embarrassed, and the cooperative tone made Shaohua almost spit blood. Wan Hua looked back at his sister's sad expression and couldn't help smiling, and the other two also laughed.
The car sent them back to Biwuxuan. After saying goodbye to them, Shaohua couldn't wait to run to his house. It was the first time that she felt so much that she missed the house and the soft bedding.
Youhan was greeting the little maid to sweep in the yard. When he saw his wife running in furiously, he was shocked and thought something had happened. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately ran to the bed. Chu He couldn't stop him, but Shaohua fell down**. He kicked over his shoes and said in a daze, "Don't wake me up before dinner." Then I slept soundly.
Chu He had a bitter face, but she had no choice but to tuff her quilt and put her shoes neatly in front of the bed.
Youhan came in with tea and saw that Shaohua had got into the quilt. He was about to open his voice, but was stopped by Chu He shaking his head.
"Let your wife sleep. You didn't see her eye sockets, as if she was painted with ink. I don't know how long I chatted with the third lady last night. This morning, I was listless and stabbed myself again, which made people feel sad. Chu He took out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve, and the shocking blood stains made the young man almost scream.
"But what if my wife sleeps now and can't get up at night?" The young said worriedly.
Chu He shook his head, "It's not too hard. I just heard the gentleman say that he wanted to leave the house. From tomorrow, the ladies don't have to go to school." Looking back at Youhan picking up the pattern left by Mother Rong to Shaohua, she couldn't help complaining, "Sir, it's true. Our wife doesn't have to do it herself in the future. Why do we have to force her to practice this?"
"Huh? Mr. Hengzhi is not in the house these days. Why don't we help my wife do this so that she won't get her hands hurt. Youhan's proposal was affirmed by Chu He.
"That's a good idea. You'll make a deal. I'll get the needle and thread."
Chuhe got up, brought the needle and thread basket, and saw that the young Han was curiously looking at the pipa sent by Mother Rong. He walked over nervously, wrapped the pipa carefully and put it away. Be careful. This is given to my wife. If it is damaged later, we can't afford to pay for it.
Youhan couldn't help but be shocked, "Sir is so kind to the Fifth Lady."
"That's true. It's the first time I've heard that your husband is so kind to a woman. Now the third lady can get married, and it will be the fifth lady's turn in two years. With such a preference, it is easy for the five ladies to find a satisfactory man. Suddenly, there was a murmur, and the two were shocked and looked back at Shaohua who turned over and dreamed. Chu He hurried over and saw that she was still sleeping soundly. After tamping the quilt for her, he came back and said to Youhan, "Since Mr. Dao entered the house, I don't know how many matchmaker has come to ask. It used to be to inquire about the young master and the second young master. Now it seems that it should be for our wife.
Youhan was surprised and stabored a little, "Didn't you say with Liu Jialangjun?"
Chu He shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no fixed matter. Who knows?"
