The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

When Xiao Mingxu first saw Jiang Tunan holding the erhu, he actually had the urge to throw a few pieces of silver. As soon as he put away this absurd idea, he was attracted by Jiang Tunan's music.

He had never heard such a beautiful erhu, no, it should be such a beautiful song.

He had always thought that the erhu was only used by the poor because it was often used in funerals, and he got goose bumps every time he heard it. But today, he heard it and it was no less than other instruments.

Jiang Tunan's music is gentle and fluent, as if someone is speaking softly in your ear. Different from the elegant or majestic music that most aristocratic families like, this song is graceful and reserved, with a unique Jiangnan style.

"Cousin, you really have so many surprises!"

Xiao Mingxu said happily that at first he thought Jiang Tunan was just an ordinary farm girl. Later, when he learned about Jiang Tunan's adventure, he just felt it was novel. But now, he felt that the woman in front of him was truly an extraordinary woman!

Luo Yunqing also praised repeatedly,

"I really like this piece of music by Xiaonan. Wanxin, go get my piano."

Luo Yunqing has been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, among which music is her favorite and what she is best at.

Wan Xin brought the zither not long after. Luo Yun sat in front of the zither and said to Jiang Tunan,

"Xiao Nan, what do you think of my playing?"

Jiang Tunan had just woken up from his memories when he saw Luo Yunqing already playing the guqin, playing the "Jasmine Flower" that she had just played.

Jiang Tunan: Awesome!

This is simply a tape recorder turned into a spirit! Luo Yunqing only listened to it once, and he could play the song completely on the guqin.

Although the sound of the harp is not as melodious as Jiang Tunan's erhu, it also has its own flavor. In Luo Yunqing's hands, this song "Jasmine Flower" is made more elegant.

"sharp."

Jiang Tunan admired from the bottom of her heart. It was the first time she saw the power of the ladies from ancient times after traveling through time. Although she had received education in the 21st century, she did not think that she was superior to others here. In ancient times, ladies had to learn needlework, etiquette, and calligraphy and painting. They were just influenced by the times, especially someone like Luo Yunqing, who would definitely be a top student in modern times.

"Xiao Nan, you are too kind. I can only replicate the rhythm, but I cannot imitate the subtle and implicit feelings you played. Moreover, I have been learning the guqin since I was a child, so I can't be considered as an expert."

Luo Yunqing's cheeks were slightly red. She had seldom played the piano since she had Xiaobao. Hearing Jiang Tunan's performance today made her feel as if she had regained the happiness she had when she was still in the boudoir. Thinking of this, she actually felt a little sad.

"Hey, sister-in-law, what you said is not right. The eldest daughter of the Luo family is an excellent zither player. Everyone in Kyoto knows this."

Xiao Mingxu interrupted,

"Everyone says that there are three talented women in Kyoto, but I think that if my sister-in-law didn't want to show off in front of others, there should be four talented women in Kyoto. Moreover, I think those three are definitely not as good as my sister-in-law!"

Jiang Tunan was actually interested. Among the three talented women, there must be the vicious female supporting role who was said to be a stumbling block in the love between the male and female protagonists. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to get to know the main characters.

"Oh? The three talented ladies? I haven't heard of them. Cousin Mingxu, please tell me about them."

Luo Yun interrupted with a chuckle,

"You just really listen to his nonsense. You just love to say these nice things to cheer me up. She is called a talented woman because she has real talent. I am just a little bit proficient in piano skills, how can I be called a talented woman?"

"But Sister Yun Qing, I really think you are amazing. Although those talented women are famous, you are not bad either, Sister Yun Qing. There is no need to belittle yourself."

Jiang Tunan thought in his heart, if that talented woman was really a vicious female supporting role, it was not worth it for such a powerful woman to get hurt just to fight for the male lead.

"Okay, okay, you're so smooth-talking. It's time for lunch, and you must be hungry, Wanxin. Ask someone to serve the food."

Luo Yun tapped Jiang Tunan's forehead lightly. It seemed like he was admonishing him, but his words were actually full of doting.

"Yeah, Sister Yun Qing, you are so nice."

When Jiang Tunan heard there was food, he picked up the food unconsciously. When Xiao Mingxu heard the sound of Jiang Tunan picking up the food, he got goose bumps all over his body.

"Cousin, I know you are very excited now, but don't get excited yet."

Jiang Tunan glared at Xiao Mingxu.

"It's nothing to do with a woman."

"Okay, sit down and eat."

Luo Yunqing stopped the two from bickering, glared at Xiao Mingxu and signaled him to shut up.

Xiao Mingxu raised his eyebrows, then sat down and stopped arguing with Jiang Tunan.

Jiang Tunan saw that the braised pork had been served and had no intention of arguing with Xiao Mingxu. No one was more important than the braised pork right now!

"Third brother, I have seen my husband looking very sad recently, but when I asked him, he said nothing was wrong. Tell me the truth, what happened?"

Luo Yunqing knew that Xiao Mingyue was a man who could not hide his thoughts on his face, so something must have happened for him to be like this.

"Humph, it's just about that Princess Guangping. You're just looking for trouble."

Xiao Mingxu snorted coldly. He naturally knew something about the grudge between Princess Guangping and the Xiao family, but what happened to Princess Tu Shuang back then could not be blamed on the Xiao family. Princess Guangping was indeed going a bit too far.

"Princess Guangping? She...she returned to Kyoto?"

Hearing the words "Princess Guangping", Luo Yunqing unconsciously became nervous. Seeing Luo Yunqing's reaction, Jiang Tunan asked,

"Who is Princess Guangping?"

Xiao Mingxu seemed to have opened up and told Jiang Tunan the details.

"Princess Guangping, she is an important person. Her husband, Prince Guangping, is the only prince of a different surname, stationed in the southern part of Daxing. She is also the niece of the Queen Mother, and her status is extremely noble. Even the Emperor has to give her some face."

Jiang Tunan was puzzled.

"Then what is the relationship between Princess Guangping and the Xiao Mansion?"

Xiao Mingxu put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and said lazily,

"That's all because of my elder brother. If he hadn't been a hero saving the damsel in distress, none of this would have happened."

Xiao Mingxu was talking to himself, not noticing that Luo Yunqing's face was getting worse and worse.

"That Princess Tu Shuang and my elder brother back then, that was really..."

"Cough cough!"

A cough interrupted Xiao Mingxu's speech, and Xiao Mingrui walked into the yard and bowed slightly to Luo Yun.

Jiang Tunan: Who understands? This feeling is like being pinched off in the middle of a shit.

"Third brother, you are in a good mood. Father and second brother are already busy and exhausted, but you are reminiscing about the past. I wonder if father finds out, how many hours will he hang you from the beam this time?"

Xiao Mingxu shuddered suddenly, thinking of the last time he was beaten by Xiao Huaimin, and felt a little scared.

"Then I can't help you, right?"

Xiao Mingxu said weakly, but compared with other people in the Xiao Mansion, he did seem a little relaxed.

"Father is looking for you, come with me."

Xiao Mingrui said this coldly and left. Although Xiao Mingxu was puzzled, he immediately followed him.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, let's talk next time. Hey, Xiao Mingrui, wait for me!"

After walking a distance from Fufeng Courtyard, Xiao Mingrui stopped, turned around and said to Xiao Mingxu,

"You dare to say anything."

Xiao Mingxu finally reacted at this time.

"No, my father didn't look for me at all. You called me out on purpose!"

Xiao Mingrui glanced at Xiao Mingxu,

"How about I let you continue to tell the story of the love-hate relationship between my elder brother and Princess Tu Shuang in front of my elder sister-in-law?"

Xiao Mingxu was speechless for a moment. He was indeed not thoughtful enough. He just thought that he was too excited at the moment and forgot to consider his sister-in-law's feelings.

"Then I will go back and apologize to my sister-in-law now."

"Wait! If you go back now, won't it make your sister-in-law even more embarrassed? Go back to your Qiyun Courtyard and stay there."

Xiao Mingxu said gloomily,

"Got it. I'll be back soon."

He is obviously the older brother, but he always acts more like a younger brother in front of his fourth brother.

Xiao Mingrui looked at Xiao Mingxu's departing back and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, after Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingxu left, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere at the Fufengyuan dinner table no longer existed.

Seeing that Luo Yunqing looked troubled, Jiang Tunan could not help but ask,

"Sister Yun Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Yunqing gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"It's okay, I just remembered some past events."

Jiang Tunan: There’s news!

"Sister Yun Qing, if you don't mind, you can tell me what's bothering you, but if you don't want to, then don't tell me."

Hearing Jiang Tunan say this, Luo Yunqing felt somewhat relieved.

"Thank you, Xiaonan. This is a long story. It's about Ayue and Princess Tushuang. When my husband was not yet a cavalry general, but the eldest son of the Xiao family, he accidentally saved Princess Tushuang on the road. From then on, the princess fell in love with my husband."

Luo Yunqing didn't mind telling Jiang Tunan about these things. After all, as long as one was willing to inquire in Kyoto, these things could be known.

Luo Yunqing recalled the scene at that time, feeling somewhat sad. The past seemed to be right before his eyes, but he did not expect that things and people were no longer the same now...
