Red plums reflect youth

Chapter 54

After breakfast, the three of them came to the backyard of Qingcheng Pavilion together, found a place with dense trees along the lotus pond, and set up the stringed qin.

Although the weather is hot, the wind is cool, and the fragrance from the lotus pond makes people feel refreshed.

Ming Yan looked at the lotus pond, the lake surface was rippling, and the lotus leaves were swaying. She couldn't help but sighed, "Ziqing, do you still remember when you and I played the piano under the moon and danced by the pond?"

"Why don't you remember?" At the beginning Qiao Yang was afraid that I would get involved in the incident and pretended to be ruthless. To ease my distress, I said, "Playing the piano at night disturbed Miss Yu and bothered you, Mingyan." He spoke lightly to Mingyan. A smile: "But I also got a friend who understands music."

Huyan Keluo couldn't help listening to them with great interest when they talked about the past.

Listening to Ziqing's answer, Mingyan couldn't help but cover her face with a smile, Mingmei said with a trace of sentimentality: "I didn't expect it to be so long, but it feels like yesterday in my heart."

"Mingyan, why did you leave the Qingcheng Pavilion?" Ziqing had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she never found a chance to ask: "In the pavilion, except for Miss Yu, no one can beat you. And dancing, too. It is your talent, why give up?"

Hearing the words, Mingyan looked sideways at the lotus pond, and said quietly: "Miss Yu only dances for her bosom friends all her life, and I, Mingyan, only dance for those who really understand and love the music." It is absolutely impossible for me to dance for those who have no name at all!"

Huyan Keluo raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and guessed: "Could it be that you are alluding to a certain celebrity in the pavilion?"

"I, Mingyan, don't need allusions!" Mingyan glanced at Huyan Keluo, and said loudly: "I just can't understand the Yin Cixin who is so popular now. The music is seductive and slutty, just like her Sample."

"It's stunning." Huyankeluo nodded in agreement, but obviously got the point wrong.

"Hmph!" Mingyan stared at Huyankeluo with her almond eyes open after hearing the words: "It's all praised by you lecherous men! Her piano music is obviously mediocre, and you men are all fascinated by her, regardless of the facts. Just because of her beauty, she praised her, made her the number one card in the court, and fueled her arrogance." Then she turned her head aside angrily: "Although I can't stop her from being popular, no one should think about it." Forcing me to share the stage with her!"

"Listen...why are you so sour?" Huyan Keluo squinted his eyes and smiled, "Could it be that Mingyan is jealous of her beauty?" Looking at Mingyan's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Huyan Keluo hurriedly said: "Actually You don't have to be angry about it, Miss Yin is beautiful and enchanting, but Mingyan, you are beautiful and lovely, there is something in it...Of course, it would be better if you weren't so arrogant."

"You!" Mingyan knew that he was hinting at his arrogance and rudeness just now, and was suddenly out of breath, but couldn't get angry in front of Ziqing, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You are really unreasonable! Yin Cixin's qin music is obviously Mimi Zhiyin! If you don’t understand, don’t talk, no one will think you are dumb. Besides, in terms of appearance...” Mingyan turned to look at Ziqing and said, “How can her Yin Cixin compare to Ziqing? Wearing a veil, I really don’t know if it’s to hide some flaws!”

"Mingyan...don't talk nonsense." The topic suddenly turned to himself, Ziqing reminded with a slight frown.

Huyan Keluo turned his head to look at Ziqing, seeing him nodding slightly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.Although Ziqing looks like his mother, but inside is a clear and handsome charm.If it is a daughter, and then a little decoration, it is not an exaggeration to say that the country is beautiful.On the other hand, Yin Cixin, although not as charming as Zhao Modi in the painting, is very much like the enchanting one.

Just as he was watching, he suddenly heard a coquettish banter from behind:

"Oh? So, Miss Mingyan looks down not only on Ci Xin's piano skills, but also on Ci Xin's face?"

While speaking, Yin Cixin, accompanied by the maid Piaoxue, had already walked in front of the three of them, her eyes were mellow and charming, but there was a layer of anger and a layer of sarcasm in this seductiveness.

Unexpectedly, the discussion behind the scenes was overheard by the person concerned, and all three of them were shocked.

However, Mingyan dared to act boldly, and immediately admitted firmly: "That's right! I just look down on you! I looked down on you before, look down on you now, and I won't look down on you in the future."

Yin Cixin blinked his eyes contemptuously when he heard the words: "You say that Cixin's piano skills are famous, but how dare you ask Miss Mingyan, who else in Qingcheng Pavilion is better than me?"

Mingyan tilted her head triumphantly, and said to Ziqing, "There is one sitting in front of you. When Ziqing's Butterfly Love Song was famous in the whole city, Miss Yin didn't know where she was."

"Butterfly Love Song... I have heard about it." Yin Cixin turned his eyes to Ziqing, and there was no kindness in his eyes, just like when he first met when he was swimming in the lake: "It turns out that Mr. Liu's piano skills are so good. Outstanding."

Looking at Yin Cixin, Ziqing couldn't help but think of the incident when he returned the silk scarf that night but unexpectedly saw a woman's body, his face was already covered with a red glow. At this time, when he heard Yin Cixin talking to him, he lowered his head and said hurriedly : "The mouth of Mingyan is unobstructed, and I hope Miss Yin doesn't mind. From what I hear, the girl's piano skills are definitely excellent."

"Really?" Yin Cixin looked at Ziqing coldly and said, "How does that compare to yours?"

"Of course he is much better than you!" Mingyan shot Yin Cixin a contemptuous look, and interjected.

Hearing this, Ziqing glared at Mingyan reproachfully, and then saluted: "Young lady can play the qin music intensely and colorfully, bringing people into gorgeous situations, but Ziqing just plays the piano as she pleases, using the music as her own. It's just lyrical."

"Heh... Mr. Liu is modest." Yin Cixin sneered after hearing the words: "However, Miss Mingyan definitely disagrees."

"Aren't you stupid!" Mingyan confronted each other.

Yin Cixin glanced at him, and continued to say coldly: "Actually, when I was in the cabinet, I heard many people praise Mr. Liu's piano skills, and even Miss Yu was among them. Ci Xin is also curious, Mr. Liu's piano skills How superb it is."

"Ziqing, play a song for her now to satisfy her curiosity." Mingyan said to Ziqing upon hearing the words.

Ziqing frowned and was about to speak, but Yin Cixin stopped her and said:

"Don't worry. People who like the sound of the qin music will like it very much, and those who hate it will also hate it, depending on their temperament. Now Mr. Liu plays a piece. If it is the piece that Cixin hates, if I agree, yes Going against myself, if I say something wrong, Miss Mingyan will definitely not be convinced. I have a good suggestion, why not..." As he spoke, Yin Ci looked at Ziqing with determination: "You and I have a public competition , How about asking the seniors in the piano industry to evaluate and appraise it?"

"No..." Ziqing was about to refuse, but Mingyan pulled his arm and said, "That's it!"

"Okay! Then I'll tell Manager Cui and let him arrange everything. I, Yin Cixin, just want to publicly learn Mr. Liu's piano skills and hand them over to Manager Cui. I don't think you will suspect what I did in it." Said Then, he raised his eyes to look at Huyankeluo, and smiled charmingly: "I said, this young man from a foreign land, can you take your eyes away from me?"

"Hehe~" Huyan Keluo replied with a dry smile: "It must be a girl, you have some kind of magnet on your body, which attracts me so much that I can't look away."

"Haha~" Yin Cixin smiled with a pair of winking eyes, but Mingyan gave Huyan Keluo a sharp look.

"I think it's still..." Ziqing wanted to say forget it, all the incidents that happened to him recently made him have no intention of competing in the competition, and it didn't matter who was good or bad in piano skills.

At this time, Yin Cixin suddenly said to Ziqing coquettishly: "Cixin is really looking forward to it, and I hope that Mr. Liu will appreciate it."

A coquettish voice blocked what Ziqing wanted to say. He really didn't know how to deal with a coquettish woman, and he didn't want to meet other people's sincere expectations, so he could only say in a low voice, "Okay."

When Yin Cixin walked away, Mingyan snorted in the direction of Yin Cixin's departure: "She is doomed."

"Mingyan, why do you bother to help me with these things." Ziqing shook his head reproachfully and said, "Qin music is originally played to express my feelings. It's a moving piece. What's the point of trying your piano skills?"

"Ziqing, you still don't understand?" Mingyan blinked her almond eyes and said triumphantly, "You have been traveling for two years, and those who liked to listen to you playing the piano in the past have forgotten about you. Now she occupies all the resources of Qingcheng Pavilion, and you don't know who she is." There is no way to show your talent again. This time she even took the initiative to compete with you publicly, not to mention that your piano skills are far superior to hers. Even if you lose, you will be known by everyone, and you will gradually return to the old days Scenic."

Huyankeluo heard the words, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that although Miss Mingyan is a woman, she is resourceful and resourceful."

Mingyan snorted and ignored it.Just now, Huyan Keluo stared at Yin Cixin with no promise, and he didn't settle accounts with him yet!

Ziqing lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Xiaoqing, I'm also looking forward to it." Huyan Keluo encouraged, but he hoped that Ziqing could focus on something and forget about the idea of ​​suicide: "By the way, I also heard the Butterfly Love Song you just mentioned. But, it turned out to be Xiaoqing's masterpiece, can you please let me enjoy it?"

"Dreaming!" Mingyan angrily poured a basin of cold water on him.
