Chapter 42 - birthday
Bai Chu was attracted by the unfamiliar voice, and curiously probed to see who it was. Shen Yuezhi moved faster than her, let go of her hand, turned around and looked, her tall figure blocked her tightly.
Bai Chu could only listen to him with a dazed smile and call out, “Big Brother.”
!
Is it Shen Jingzhi?
Bai Chu is no longer a demon, and obediently hides behind him, Wei Wei is blessed: “Uncle.” It doesn’t matter whether he hears it or not, even if it is a courtesy.
Shen Jingzhi still heard it, and glanced in her direction coldly, his eyes finally fell on Shen Jingzhi’s face: “Where are you going?”
Shen Yuezhi was elegant and calm, ignoring the coldness and power in his eyes, and said warmly, “Is there something wrong with me, eldest brother?”
Shen Jingzhi frowned tightly, and his stern face became more serious: “Come with me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored Shen Yongzhi’s reaction, turned around and strode away, Bai Chu looked at his back with the cold wind whistling, exhaled lightly, and patted his chest in fear: “I almost thought he was going to hit me. .”
Shen Yongzhi’s originally dignified mood disappeared instantly when she opened her mouth, and helplessly said with a smile, “What are you thinking about in your head? No matter what, eldest brother will never attack a weak woman.”
Bai Chu made a face at him lightly and cheerfully, with a few strands of schadenfreude between Bai Nen’s delicate eyebrows: “Also, the uncle is a dignified and mighty man, and naturally he also disciplines your own brother.”
“Didn’t I tell you to follow him? Why don’t you go!”
Shen Yongzhi was speechless and said with a smile, “I’ll tell you the rest next time.”
Seeing him leave, Bai Chu also forgot about what was going to happen next time. In fact, Shen Yongzhi didn’t need to open her mouth. She had Xiaoba’s ear, and she already knew everything about the outside world. .
Zhang Shi suddenly gave up letting King An be his son-in-law because in the palace, her own sister, the concubine Xian concubine next to the saint, said that the saint intended to marry King An and had already decided on a candidate, etc. Of course it wasn’t Bai Yinhua.
In addition, Concubine Zhang Xian also mentioned what happened at the birthday banquet of Princess Changping a while ago. She vaguely expressed that because Princess Changping and Princess Roujia entered the palace to greet her, she explained this matter euphemistically. There are some in the palace. Rumors that can’t get on the stage, the Princess Roujia is not innocent, but Bai Yinhua’s reputation is somewhat ruined.
What she meant was to let Mrs. Zhang find her a marriage as soon as possible. Once this little girl is engaged, no matter how much rumors outside, it will naturally fade away.
Although Zhang was looking forward to Bai Yinhua’s noble destiny, but in the end, the loving mother who loved her daughter had the upper hand, so she went to the trouble of contacting her parents’ family to see if she could connect her daughter with her nephew.
But as soon as she moved here, Bai Yinhua received the news, and hurriedly approached the door to ask Mrs. Zhang to dispel the idea.
In fact, she is also kind. If it is the son of another family, she will not rush to wait for King An or Zhou Boxuan to express her heart to her. She vows to marry her, and then she will find a way to dissolve the engagement. , As for what happens to the family of the son who is married to her, she doesn’t care.
Helpless Zhang chose her grandfather’s house for her. Bai Yinhua knew the importance of her mother’s help, and was easily reluctant to have a grudge with her grandfather’s family, so she hurriedly came to stop it.
After all, how could she possibly look at her mediocre cousin?
Bai Yinhua had Bai Yinhua’s calculations, and Zhang’s also had Zhang’s worries, so the mother and daughter froze for a while, but Bai Zizhen supported Zhang, and Bai Ziqi was suppressed by her brother and didn’t dare to say anything to her.
Bai Yinhua suddenly became isolated and helpless.
Originally, due to the matter of Bai Yinhua’s traditional Chinese medicine last time, there was Shen Yongzhi stirring up the situation in the dark. Prince An has suffered many disasters in the past few months, and he has been quite in a hurry, but he is the male protagonist anyway, there is still room for relaxation, that is When I was busy, I didn’t have time to send letters to Bai Yinhua every day or invite her to meet and talk about love like before.
Zhou Baixuan’s not contacting her has already upset Bai Yinhua, and even Prince An seems to be cold. In addition to the matter of Yiqin, Bai Yinhua is really restless, and he doesn’t care how to play hard to catch, so he asks Nightingale to give it to Prince An. Sent a letter.
The olive branch that was thrown out was naturally received by An Wang. In order to appease his lover who was deeply in love and panicked, he made an exception for the first time to break through the blockade of the White House and came to a beautiful event to visit the boudoir at night. .
Bai Chu thought that it was probably this action that alerted Shen Yongzhi, and that was why she was confident enough to use it as a bargaining chip in front of her.
Zhang’s love for her daughter will definitely be let down in the end.
Bai Chu’s walking back to Wutong Courtyard was also a lot more brisk, probably because she was the original owner, she naturally didn’t like Zhang from the original owner’s standpoint, like Bai Yinhua and Bai Ziqi. Brothers and sisters are fighting at the same level, and it is shameless for Zhang to use the means to frame a child of the original owner.
It’s good now, she hasn’t done anything yet, maybe Zhang’s biological daughter will teach her a lesson she will never forget.
As soon as she was in a good mood, she became patient with Shen Yuzhi. The day before his birthday, Bai Chu sent the gift she prepared:
“After I married into the Shen family, except for the two boxes of dowry that I barely made up, the rest were protected by my grandmother and mother. In the end, it was because of the third brother that you fell into my hands.” Bai Chu’s voice was clear and gentle, He slowly said, “I don’t do this thing about borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. A few days ago, when I was looking through the ancient books in your study, I found your annotations on a few pieces of music. I think the third brother likes it very much. ?”
She opened one side of the study, under the layers of gauze curtains, held the guqin on the piano table, pulled Shen Yuzhi to sit down, and took down the jasper flute hanging from the wall next to her, which was as white as condensed jade. The slender fingers are softly placed on the top, as if lingering with a faint halo.
She pointed to the side of the piano frame with a smile: “I haven’t seen the third brother play the piano for a long time, and I know that you are uneasy and confused, and you can’t move the piano. But since it’s your birthday, let’s put it aside for the time being. Life is long, when can you not think about it?”
“Just let me be your interpreter, hum, as long as you like a few songs, I will list them on the top, and I promise that no one will disturb you one day, the third brother can completely calm down and relax, good Enjoy the sound of the piano.” She blinked and dangled the long flute in her hand, “How about me, just use the flute you taught me and have a good day with you?”
Shen Yuzhi stared blankly at her bright and soft smile, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, but without the slightest dazzling aggression, she curled quietly, like a quiet and blooming ephemera under the slanting moonlight and the Milky Way, all the brilliance could be seen. A little cinnabar mole on the tail stopped abruptly, and that little vermilion color was brilliant and scintillating.
He looked away almost as though escaping, and hurriedly picked up the song list designed by Bai Chu Jingxin. It turned out to be some of his favorite piano songs. Shen Yuzhi scanned it from top to bottom and said with a chuckle, “You said to accompany you. I, so many pieces, Chu Hua, are you sure you can play them with the flute?”
Bai Chu pouted: “You don’t believe me, don’t you believe my master?”
Shen Yuzhi was stunned for two seconds before realizing that her master was herself, which meant that she was blocked again. He raised his hand and rubbed her head in a funny way: “You are right, not mine.”
This room is empty and empty, except for a red sandalwood carved screen with the rising sun and the mountains reflecting the sky and the sea, there is only a small incense burner with four legs carved with wisteria flowers and wishful patterns, and the gently rising cigarettes are soft in the air. Spread softly.
It was his favorite cold rosin.
There are intentions everywhere.
Shen Yuzhi suddenly felt that a cluster of flames rose in the palm of his hand, and the heat was hard to hide. He quickly retracted his hand, and shook his palm lightly under the cover of his wide sleeves, but somehow couldn’t close it.
As if to cover up the sudden shyness and embarrassment, he moved to the back of the piano table and sat down. His slender and clean hands stroked the strings of the piano, bringing up the faint scent of turquoise. Reborn deep in the soul.
In fact, Shen Yuzhi seldom plays the piano recently, and most of the time when he touches the guqin, he only plays a few bars in order to teach Bai Chu. I can’t say whether I like it or not, it’s just that the guqin is pleasing to the heart. If you can’t devote yourself to playing it, it seems to be an insult to the melody.
However, in recent years, he has been disturbed by various things, and with Bai Yinhua Xiqin, he can handle the flute logically, which is quite comfortable.
However, when he fiddled slightly, the melodious sound of the violin lingered for a long time, and all the hesitation, hesitation, and hesitation disappeared.
Shen Yuzhi raised her eyes and smiled slightly at Bai Chu, her brows and eyes were shining brightly, “The first song is “Bijian Liuquan”, right?”
Bai Chucan nodded with a smile: “Okay.”
The rhythm of the guqin music is light and slow, and the Xiao as an assistant can’t be fast, which is why Bai Chu has the confidence to accompany him to play the music.
You don’t need to have a skilled memory, as long as you don’t fall off the beat, the protagonists themselves are Shen Yuzhi and his qin, and Bai Chuan is her supporting role.
After playing three or four songs, her cheeks hurt a bit. She never felt wronged by her character, so she put down the xiao. She thought that Shen Yuzhi, who was deeply immersed in the perfect fusion of the playing movements and the melody in her ears, would not care. , I didn’t think that as soon as she stopped, he looked over strangely: “What’s wrong?”
Bai Chu’s rather obediently curved lips smiled: “I want to listen to your solo performance of “The Journey to the Immortal” by third brother.”
Shen Yuzhi couldn’t see that she was being lazy on purpose, and it wasn’t the first time. He shook his head helplessly: “It’s a birthday present for me, but when it arrives, you still want me to play the piano and you will reward me quietly. What’s the point?”
Bai Chu’s attitude is very calm: “It’s wrong. Anyway, I really want to hear it. Third brother, you can’t play it, right?”
This arrogant and self-willed appearance, he simply gave up?
Shen Yuzhi couldn’t help laughing, suppressed his smile, and sighed: “Bang, I owe you.” He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking sternly, “Look back and wait for your birthday, I will let you play the songs on this list. Play it all for me, and make sure you don’t make any mistakes.”
Bai Chu smiled and nodded, leaning lazily on the armchair with his chin up, not taking it seriously:
She would be a ghost if she was willing to listen to him.
