Chapter 15: Taining Marquis Mansion (2)

When girls get together, most of them are eating, drinking and having fun, and sometimes they will go to the theater or play some games together. But today is a little different. The Lord Heshou County smiled and said to Yuchen: "I have always heard that Miss Chen is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to listen to one or two today?"

From the first time he saw Princess Heshou, Yuchen was sure of one thing, that is, County Lord Heshou was very hostile to her. Yuchen said with a smile: "The princess is too well-known, and I can't talk about proficiency, but it's just a way to pass the time at home."

Princess Qingxia smiled and said: "Cousin, your piano skills are also very good, why don't you and Miss Chen each play a piece, and let us feast our ears?"

The Lord of Heshou County smiled and said: "Miss Yuchen and Miss Yuxi are under the tutelage of Mr. Song, and the fourth girl cannot shirk." The Lord of Heshou County has doubts about Yuxi, so he tried a few things.

Yuxi smiled gracefully and replied: "Master Song, I have limited aptitude, and I did not worship Mr. Song as my teacher." Seeing the surprise on the face of the Lord Heshou County, Yuxi smiled and said: "Mr. Master learned painting and calligraphy. As for music theory and poetry, I didn't follow because I didn't have talent."

The Lord Heshou County didn't say anything after hearing this. Since Yuxi can say it in front of so many people, she will definitely not lie to her.

Yuchen played "Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms". This piece praises people with noble sentiments by praising plum blossoms for their tenacious character of not being afraid of the cold and frost and fighting against the wind and snow. Yuchen is essentially a person of noble character, and this song has a bit of charm from her.

The master of Heshou County played the song "Chun Xiao Yin". The first half of this song presents a mood of spring dawn people who are tired and lazy to comb their hair; Jin, a scene full of spring! When it comes to the end, it gives people a feeling that although the beauty of spring will never last forever, thinking about how short life is, then feel sad.

After Heshou Xianzhu finished playing, the scene was suddenly quiet.

After a few seconds, Yuchen came back to his senses, walked up to the county lord Heshou, and said, "The qin art of the county lord is like the sound of nature, Yuchen feels ashamed." Although he lost, Yuchen didn't think there was anything good shameful. There is a sky beyond the sky, there are people beyond people, and there are people who can play better than her.

Lord Heshou smiled and said, "I'm two years older than sister Yuchen, so it's because I took advantage of it." She knew that Yuchen was the most arrogant, and ordinary people couldn't catch Yuchen's eyes. Only in this way can the distance between the two be shortened.

Princess Qingxia felt that the opportunity was rare today, and said, "Cousin, the weather is so good today, shall we compose two poems?" It's because she has to compose poems at every turn, which makes people overwhelmed.

County Lord Heshou knew that this cousin liked poetry to the point of obsession. If she had been in the past, she would have tactfully refused, but now she would not spoil Qingxia's interest. She happened to see a few peonies in full bloom not far away, and said: " Taking peony as the theme, what does my cousin think?"

Princess Qingxia thinks it is very good: "Peony is the king of flowers, so taking peony as the theme is naturally excellent."

Qingxia County Master and Heshou County Master were the best present, and they both said so, so the others would naturally not refute. If he refuted it, it meant that he would not give face to Qingxia County Master and Heshou County Master.

Zhou Shiya is not good at poetry, so she racked her brains now, just to write a poem to deal with it. But after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't have a clue, but when she looked up, she saw Yuxi eating cakes there leisurely. Zhou Shiya lowered her voice and asked, "You don't write poetry?"

Yuxi is going to hand in a blank paper later: "I can't write it.

"

Zhou Shiya didn't want to write either, but she didn't have the courage, so she said anxiously: "If you don't write, you will be laughed at, and you won't be punished when you go back?" Doesn't handing in a blank paper prove that the girls in the Duke's Mansion are bad?

Yuxi said: "There's no way to joke. I just said that I'm not good at poetry. I didn't even go to Mr. Song's class. It doesn't matter even if it's called a white paper." At the beginning, Aunt Quan also persuaded her to learn poetry and musical instruments. It would not be a joke to say that there are two things that can support the facade when going out in the future. But she just can't learn how to do it. Without this talent, forcing is useless.

Zhou Shiya thought for a while, and said: "I lost face in the Duke's Mansion, and you won't be reprimanded by your aunt when you go back?"

Yuxi said indifferently: "If you reprimand me, just reprimand me. I really don't know how to write poems, so I can't cheat! Besides, the Duke's Mansion has my third sister, which is enough to support my appearance." She is not as perfect as Yuchen People, if you don't know it, you won't, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. She didn't believe that all the girls present were masters of poetry and painting.

Two quarters of an hour later, more than twenty girls handed in all their poems. At the end of the review, Yuchen wrote the best and won the leader, and the worst was naturally Yuxi who handed in a blank paper.

Princess Qingxia was a little surprised. Even if she didn't know how to compose poems, many people would rack their brains to write a poem to complete the task in order to meet the situation. This was the first time she saw the person who handed in the blank paper. Princess Qingxia said to the maid next to her, "Go ask Miss Yuxi to come over." Yuxi was whispering to Zhou Shiya in a corner of the garden at this time.

Yuchen was not surprised that Yuxi handed in a blank paper. Yuxi has that temperament. If she doesn't know it, she will just say it, and she won't beat around the bush or cheat.

Princess Qingxia took out a blank paper with Yuxi written on it, and asked, "Miss Yuxi, did you hand in this?"

Under everyone's strange eyes, Yu Xi frankly admitted that it was handed over by herself. Since she dared to hand in a blank paper, Yuxi was ready to be ridiculed.

Yuchen didn't want to lose the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, so he said with a smile: "My younger sister was not good at music theory and poetry since she was a child, but her paintings are very good, especially the peonies and chrysanthemums are very beautiful." Yuchen Saying this is also to save face for Yu Xi.

Qingxia frowned.

The Lord of Heshou County smiled and said: "Since sister Chen said Miss Yuxi's peony paintings are very good, if Miss Yuxi doesn't mind, how about using paintings instead of poems?"

It can be said that she has no talent in writing poems and submitting blank paper. Now Yuchen has said that her peony paintings are good. If she postpones it, she will not only lose face to the Duke, but also lose face to Yuchen. Of course, being scolded is a trivial matter, and I'm afraid that if she bears the name of an idiot in the future, then her future marriages will drop several grades. Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes. But I draw very slowly and it takes a long time."

Lord Heshou smiled happily: "It's okay, we'll just wait." This is obviously completely different from the person in the rumors, and I don't know what secrets this person has.

The maid and mother-in-law of Taining Hou Mansion immediately brought brushes and paints of various colors. Yuxi was not pretentious, she spread out the rice paper and began to draw on the table.

When painting peonies, the most important thing is the coloring. If you don't have a good color, no matter how good the first effort is, it will be in vain. But Yuxi is very sensitive to color, and she has never made a mistake in this area.

Yuxi was really slow in drawing, so slow that the people who started to watch were impatient, and they gathered in twos and threes to talk and chat. Lord Heshou County and Princess Qingxia were chatting happily with Yuchen, and even Zhou Shiya was deserting.

A servant girl walked up to Chen Xue and said, "Girl, the dishes are already on the table, it's time to treat the girls to dinner."

When Yuchen heard that he wanted to eat, he looked at Yuxi who was painting with his head bowed, and said to him: "Let's go eat first! After the meal is finished, Yuxi's painting should be finished." Let everyone wait for Yuxi One, everyone will definitely be dissatisfied.

After lunch, most of the girls went home with their elders, and a small number of them went to the garden with Princess Qingxia and Princess Heshou.

When everyone arrived in the garden, Yuxi happened to finish painting the peony.

Yu Xi needs several times the time of others to draw a picture. Today, in order to save time, she only draws a peony surrounded by green leaves, a peony in full bloom. The upper right corner of the painting also quotes a poem by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "The peony in front of the court is invincible, and the flower on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the city of Tokyo is in bloom."

Yuxi's peony is exquisite in brushwork and bright in color, which is incomparable with famous artists, but it also has its own characteristics.

Princess Qingxia said with a smile: "This peony is well painted, but unfortunately there is only one." Although Yuxi is good at painting flowers and plants, she rarely has animation pens. No matter how distinctive her paintings are, her standards are limited. But Princess Qingxia has seen too many good things, and Yuxi's paintings are still not in her eyes. To get a good one is already a very high evaluation.

County Lord Heshou glanced at Yuxi in surprise, he couldn't be mediocre with this painting skill, and wondered in his heart why Han Yuxi seemed to be a different person. County Lord Heshou said with a smile: "Miss Yuxi just said that she paints very slowly. If she paints a lot, wouldn't she have to paint until night?"

Princess Qingxia smiled and said, "I'm so happy too, I forgot about it."

Yuchen said happily: "Princess, in fact, what my fourth younger sister is best at is not painting, but embroidery. There are few of us sisters, and fourth younger sister's embroidery is the best." A complete pair of double-sided embroidery, Yuchen will definitely publicize the fact that Yuxi can embroider double-sided embroidery.

Lord Heshou's eyes flickered, looked at the purse on Yuxi's waist, and said with a smile: "Miss Yuxi, your purse is very delicate, did you embroider this purse yourself?"

Yuxi took off the purse from her waist and said, "Well, I embroidered it myself. I like roses very much, so I embroidered roses on the purse."

Lord Heshou County looked at Yuxi's clothes embroidered with roses, and the jewelry was also patterned with roses. This is not an ordinary liking, but an obsession. Just like Princess Qingxia's obsession with poetry, she has become obsessed. Princess Qingxia took the purse, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Sister Yuxi's embroidery skills are comparable to the best embroidery lady in our palace."

The smile on Yuxi's face remained unchanged, and she said: "On weekdays, I embroider when I have nothing to do, as a way to pass the time." She didn't want to compare herself with the embroiderer.
