After the transformation, I became the white moonlight of good and evil
Chapter 46: The lingering sound
Xia Tian found Mrs. Lu to report the matter, thinking that even if she would not be furious, she would at least be a little dissatisfied with him.
But Madam Lu just nodded gently and said, "Don't act on your own again in the future."
Hearing this, Xia Tian's already fair face became even paler, and he lowered his head, unable to speak.
Madam Lu glanced down at the maid condescendingly.
"If you do that again, I will demote you to a firefly."
Xia Tian felt even more frightened by these words, and immediately his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.
"Your servant, I am only thinking about you, Madam, and I have no ulterior motives."
Madam Lu ignored her and turned away. Cui Er, who had been following Madam Lu, was speechless about these sisters. How could such smart people become so stupid now?
Until the two disappeared around the corner, Xia Tian stood up tremblingly under the watching gazes of the servants, and went back to find her current mistress with unsteady steps.
When she returned to the room, she saw Madam Lu holding Concubine Yu's hands and comforting her softly. Both of them ignored her arrival, only Cui'er glanced at her and quickly looked away.
"Fei'er, you don't have to feel guilty. After all, you are so far away. Even if you have all kinds of tricks, you have nowhere to use them."
The girl looked calm and nodded slightly.
"Fei'er knows."
"Fei'er is the best."
Mrs. Lu really liked the girl in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face.
"You will have another chance later. The master just wrote to me, saying that he will let you join the game and sing a song to add to the fun. You must perform well this time."
Seeing that her expression was still indifferent, I didn't know whether she heard it or not.
Alas, this child. After arriving at Chunhua Pavilion, he became so unpopular. I don’t know whether it is good or bad. It makes me feel sad.
While I was chatting with her, there was a knock on the door.
A male voice came through the crack in the door. "Madam Lu, the master said it's Miss Yu Fei's turn to sing."
Seeing this, Madam Lu took the girl's hand and stood up. "Don't be nervous, just play the song as usual."
The girl nodded, and walked towards the third floor surrounded by the crowd. Led by a maid in a gorgeous dress, she entered a side door and heard the loud conversation of the people next to her through the screen.
Hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
After washing her hands in front of the zither table, the girl knelt down in front of the zither. She looked up at the elegant screen in front of her and could vaguely see the shadows of people drinking and chatting on the opposite side.
After the maid drove away the irrelevant people, she closed the side door lightly and came to Yu Fei's side without making any sound.
He leaned close to the girl's ear. "Miss, let's start."
Feeling the warmth beside her ears, the girl tilted her head slightly in discomfort. But the maid did not explain what song was being played, so Concubine Yu was a little unsure.
But when I thought that this drinking party was to celebrate the young man's high school graduation, an idea came to my mind.
He placed his hands lightly on the strings, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then his five jade-like fingers suddenly plucked the strings.
Suddenly, a fresh and bright melody burst out from the fingers, the melody was lively and jumping, quite like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. This song contains the word "flying", which means watching the dance flying, and the melody is auspicious.
The piano music did not feel out of place during the conversation, as if it had always been there. The elegant scenery around them became as magnificent as if a phoenix had arrived.
Separated by a screen, the drinking party in the private room was already in full swing. But hearing the piano music made everyone's mind pause and be attracted by it.
The person sitting at the center of the table was a slightly plump middle-aged man, with a pale face flushed with alcohol.
Listening to the auspicious tune, he gently placed the wine cup on the table, making a slight crisp sound. Looking at the screen, he could only see a slender red figure stroking the strings of the zither.
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being the best in Jiangtao City. Chunhua Pavilion is really full of talented people. The one who can play such a sound must be a master of zither."
The prefect knew that the governor had many connections with this place, otherwise he would not have held the banquet here. So he agreed, "Chunhua Pavilion is the best pavilion in Jiangtao City, but it took a lot of effort to invite such a skilled musician."
At this point, he turned to look at the young man beside the governor and said with a smile: "We are also benefiting from the governor and Zirong."
The officials around immediately echoed and praised the Chunhua Pavilion and the scholar to the climax.
This immediately caused the governor to shake his head and laugh.
"Alright, alright. This time we are only here to celebrate Zirong's admission to high school. Let's not talk about other nonsense anymore."
Rong Ting stood up tactfully upon seeing this, and filled the cups of fragrant wine for the officials around him one by one, and then respectfully offered a glass to the governor.
He said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for helping me with my studies."
After saying this, he drank the glass of wine without any hesitation.
Afterwards, the prefect and the surrounding officials did not forget that after all this time, the young man's alcohol tolerance was already normal, and now he was even more staggering. He relied on his strong willpower to avoid making a fool of himself in public.
The officials were particularly satisfied to see that he knew his limits and how to advance and retreat.
If he is really like a nerd who only knows how to say "hmm" and "ah", although I will admire his talent, I will also look down on him in my heart.
Now it seems that he is indeed a good candidate.
Rong Ting reluctantly sat on the chair, his eyes slightly wandering. Listening to the piano music beside his ears, his heartbeat, which had been surging due to the alcohol, calmed down a little. He turned his head to look for the sound of the piano.
A red figure can be vaguely seen through the screen.
He couldn't help but think of the girl in the window. She was also dressed in red, but she was so full of thoughts.
The governor who had been sitting in the main seat saw the student staring at the screen in a daze, and his heart was slightly disturbed. He chuckled and said, "Zi Rong was attracted by the sound of the piano?"
Rong Ting came back to his senses and felt his face getting hot. Fortunately, he was drunk and no one noticed it.
He calmed himself down a bit, his tone slightly embarrassed.
"I do think the sound of this piano is pleasant, but I wonder who played it."
Hahaha
Hearing him say this, the governor of Luzhou couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You are a man of character, and you are not shy about it. I will introduce you to him after we have dinner."
Rong Ting was touched in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up, bowed and thanked him.
Concubine Yu listened to the high-ranking official's words through the screen, as if he were a matchmaker, and her crystal-clear earlobes turned slightly red.
This drinking party lasted for several hours. Concubine Yu played countless tunes, but the sound of the piano remained the same.
Only after everyone had left the private room did Yu Fei slowly stop what she was doing.
After playing the zither for such a long time, Yu Fei's fingertips were covered with blood marks. If she hadn't been so skilled and protected her fingers at all times, they would have bled.
She stood up with the help of the piano stand. She staggered and almost fell after kneeling for a long time. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should rub her numb legs or her swollen and painful fingertips.
Glancing at the sky outside the window, it was no longer as bustling as it was at noon, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden glow into the room.
It will be a nice day tomorrow.
At this time, there were footsteps approaching outside the door.
As the private room was pushed open with a click, the voices of the conversation between the prefect and the young man were heard.
