The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 86

[Chapter 86 Taining Hou Mansion (2)]

When the girls get together, most of them eat, drink and have fun, and sometimes they go to the theater or play some games together. But today is a little different. He Shou County Lord smiled and said to Yuchen: “I have always heard that Miss Chen is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can have the honor to listen to one or two today?”

From the first sight of seeing Heshou County Lord, Yuchen was sure of one thing, that Heshou County Lord was very hostile to her. Yuchen said with a smile: “The county master is too famous, and he is not proficient, but he has nothing to do at home on weekdays.”

Qingxia County Master heard it and said with a smile: “Cousin, your piano skills are also excellent, why don’t you and Miss Chen each play a piece of music, so that we can also fill our ears?”

The head of Heshou County smiled and said, “Miss Yuchen and Miss Yuxi are under the tutelage of Mr. Song together, and the fourth girl cannot shirk.”

Yu Xi responded with a proper smile: “County Lord, my qualifications are limited, and I have not worshipped Mr. Song as a teacher.” Seeing Heshou County Lord’s surprised expression, Yu Xi smiled and said, “With Mr. Song’s love, I follow Song. My husband learned painting and calligraphy. As for music theory and poetry, I didn’t follow along because I didn’t have talent.”

Heshou County Lord did not say anything after hearing this. Since Oak-hee could speak in front of so many people, she definitely wouldn’t lie to her.

Yuchen is playing “Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms”, which is a piece of praise for people with noble sentiments by extolling the tenacious character of plum blossoms who are not afraid of frost and snow in the wind. Yuchen is essentially a person of noble character, and this song is a bit of charm for her.

The master of Heshou County is playing a song “Song of Spring Xiao”. The first half of this piece presents a state of being tired and combing hair in Chunxiao; after the second half, the rhythm is bright and bright, the mood is comfortable, and the flowers are like flowers. Jin, what a spring scene! At the end, it gives people a feeling that although the beauty of spring is not forever, I think about how short life is, and then I feel embarrassed.

After Heshou County Master finished playing, the scene suddenly became quiet.

After a few seconds, Yuchen came back to his senses, walked up to Heshou County Lord, and said, “The county owner’s qin skills are like the sound of nature, and Yuchen is ashamed.” Although he lost, Yuchen didn’t think there was anything good. shameful. There are days outside the sky, there are people outside people, and there are people who play better than her.

Heshou County Lord smiled and said, “I’m two years older than Yuchen’s sister, so I’m taking advantage of it.” She knew that Yuchen was the most arrogant, and ordinary people couldn’t get into Yuchen’s eyes. Only in this way can the distance between the two be shortened.

Qingxia County Lord felt that today’s opportunity was rare and said: “Cousin, the weather is so good today, let’s compose two poems?” Qingxia County Lord is not very popular among the ladies, not because she is not easy to contact, but It is she who writes poetry at every turn, which makes people overwhelmed.

The head of Heshou County knew that this cousin’s love of poetry had reached the point where she was in a state of obsession. If she had refused before, she would not have swayed Qingxia’s interest. She happened to see a few peonies in full bloom not far away, and said: ” With peony as the theme, what does my cousin think?”

Qingxia County Master thought it was very good: “Peony is the king of flowers. With peony as the title, it is naturally excellent.”

In the presence of the Qingxia County Lord and the Heshou County Lord, the identities are the best. Both of them have said so, and others will naturally not refute. If he refuted, it means that he will not give face to Qingxia County Master and Heshou County Master.

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

Oak-hee was 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 guts, so she said eagerly: “If you don’t write it, you will be laughed at, you won’t be punished when you go back?” Doesn’t handing in a blank paper prove that the girls in the Guogong’s mansion are bad!

Yuxi said, “I can’t do a 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 if it’s called a blank paper.” At first, Mammy Quan also persuaded her to learn poetry and musical instruments. It will not be a joke to say that there are two ways to go out in the future. But she is dead and alive, what can she do if she can’t learn. Without this talent, it is useless to force.

Zhou Shiya thought for a while, and said, “You have lost the face of the Duke’s Mansion, so you can’t be reprimanded by your aunt when you go back?”

Yuxi said nonchalantly, “Just reprimand it. I really don’t know how to write poetry, so I mustn’t cheat! Besides, I have a third sister in the palace, which is enough to support the appearance.” She is not as perfect as Yuchen. People, no, no, no shame. She didn’t believe that all the girls present were masters of poetry and painting.

Two quarters later, more than twenty girls handed in all the poems they had written. In the end, it came out that Yu Chen wrote the best and won the first place, and the worst was naturally Yu Xi who handed in a blank.

Princess Qingxia was a little surprised. Even if they didn’t know how to write poetry, many people would rack their brains to write a song to complete the task in order to meet the situation. It was the first time she saw a person who handed in a blank paper. Princess Qingxia said to the maid next to her, “Go and invite Miss Yuxi to come over.” Yuxi was whispering to Zhou Shiya in a corner of the garden at this time.

Yuchen was not surprised by Yuxi’s handover of blank paper, Yuxi was just that kind of temperament.

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

Under the strange eyes of everyone, Oak-hee frankly admitted that it was made by himself. Since she dared to hand in a blank, Oak-hee was ready to be ridiculed.

Yuchen didn’t want to lose the reputation of the Duke’s Mansion, and said with a smile: “My little sister is not good at music theory and poetry since she was a child, but she draws very well, especially the peonies and chrysanthemums are very beautiful.” Yuchen Saying this is also to regain face for Yuxi.

Qingxia frowned.

Heshou County Lord smiled and said, “Since Sister Chen said that Miss Yuxi’s peony is very well drawn, if Miss Yuxi doesn’t mind, she can use painting instead of poetry, how about it?”

Writing poems and handing over blank paper can also be said to be a lack of talent. Now Yuchen has said that her peonies are well drawn. If it is postponed, it will not only lose the face of the Duke’s government, but also lose Yuchen’s face. Of course, being scolded is a trivial matter, and I’m afraid that she will have a bad reputation in the future, then her future marriage will have to drop several grades. Oak-hee nodded and said, “Yes. But I’m very slow at drawing, so it takes a long time.”

Heshou County Lord 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 of Taining Hou’s mansion immediately brought brushes and paints of various colors. Oak-hee was not pretentious, she spread out the rice paper and began to draw on the table.

The most important thing in painting peony is coloring. If you don’t have a good color, the first effort will be in vain. Oak-hee is sensitive to color, though, and has never been at fault here.

Oak-hee was really slow in painting, so slow that the people around him were impatient, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk and chat. Heshou County Lord and Qingxia County Lord are chatting happily with Yuchen, and even Zhou Shiya is deserting.

A maid walked up to Chen Xue and said, “Girl, the dishes are already on the table, it’s time to invite the girls to dinner.”

When Yuchen heard that he was going to eat, he looked at Yuxi, who was lowering his head to paint, and said, “Let’s go to eat first! When the meal is finished, Yuxi’s painting should also 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 went to the garden with Qingxia County Lord and Heshou County Lord.

When everyone came to the garden, Oak-hee had just finished painting the peony flowers.

It takes others several times as long to paint a painting. Today, in order to save time, she only painted a peony flower surrounded by green leaves, a peony that bloomed brilliantly. The upper right corner of the painting also quotes a poem by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: “The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond on the pond is pure and unloving. Only the peony is the true color of the country, and Tokyo is in bloom when the flowers are blooming.”

Yuxi’s peony has delicate brushwork and bright colors, which cannot be compared with famous artists, but it also has its own characteristics.

Princess Qingxia smiled and said, “This peony is well drawn, but unfortunately there is only one.” Although Yuxi is good at drawing flowers and plants, she seldom draws pens, and her painting skills are of limited quality. And Qingxia County Master has seen a lot of good things, Yuxi’s paintings can’t catch her eyes, and she can get a good one, which is already a very high evaluation.

The county magistrate Heshou gave Yuxi a surprised look, and it was impossible for him to be mediocre with this skill in painting. The county magistrate Heshou smiled and said, “Miss Yuxi just said that she paints very slowly. If she paints a lot, wouldn’t she have to paint until the evening?”

Princess Qingxia smiled and said, “I was too happy, I forgot about it.”

Yuchen said happily, “Master, in fact, my fourth sister is not good at painting, but embroidery. With a few of us, the fourth sister’s embroidery is the best.” If it wasn’t for Yuxi’s embroidery, A complete pair of double-sided embroidery, Yuchen will definitely publicize the fact that Yuxi can do double-sided embroidery.

Heshou County’s eyes flashed, looking 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?”

Oak Xi took the purse from his waist and said, “Well, I embroidered it myself. I like roses very much, so I embroidered roses on the purse.”

The county magistrate Heshou saw that the clothes Yuxi was wearing were embroidered with roses, and the jewelry was also a pattern of roses. This is not a common liking, this is obsessed. Just like Princess Qingxia’s obsession with poetry, she has gone crazy. Princess Qingxia took the purse, took a serious look, nodded and said, “Sister Yuxi’s embroidery skills are comparable to the best embroiderers in our palace.”

The smile on Yuxi’s face did not change, and she said, “I do embroidery when I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I think it is to pass the time.” She didn’t want to compare herself with Xiu Niang.

ps: The monthly pass is forty plus more.
