Moon frost snow

The young lady's mother pulled her daughter and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my daughter just said it casually, please don't be offended, but it is true that no one has ever brought civilians here."

Guo Yulan said unhappily, "Yue'er is not a commoner."

Another young lady sneered, "If not a commoner, then what is it? I've never heard of a young lady being a doctor."

Guo Yulan thought for a moment and said, "She is my father's adopted daughter, and she is my sister. Why can't she come?"

Madam Qian smiled and said, "So she's Lord Guo's adopted daughter. Like Miss Guo, she's a beauty. You were the one who cured Miss Guo's illness, right? You're Doctor Mo's apprentice, He Yue."

He Yue smiled and replied, "Mrs. Qian, that's right."

Mrs. Qian liked He Yue very much because she was beautiful, polite, and not influenced by others.

Mrs. Qian has no daughter, and her husband is their husband's boss. With Mrs. Qian's blatant love for her, the mother and daughter didn't dare to say anything more.

A few people were chatting about this and that, and the banquet began after Mr. Qian from the men's table gave the order.

When they were almost done eating, the performance began. The first one was the lady who just mentioned He Yue.

She slowly walked to the middle, where there was an empty space with a chair and a table, on which was a pipa.

She bowed to everyone, then took up her pipa and began to play. This ancient and mysterious instrument, with its unique timbre and expressive power, stands out in the world of music. When the pipa's strings were gently plucked, the crisp, bright sound, like pearls falling on a jade plate, instantly shattered the silence and captivated everyone.

The timbre of the pipa is rich and varied. The treble is bright and sharp, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, penetrating the clouds and illuminating the earth; the middle range is round and full, like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing across the face, making people feel extremely comfortable; the bass is deep and rich, like the sea under the night sky, surging and full of vitality.

The rapid plucking and plucking of fingers produces a crisp and bright sound; the rapid rotation of fingers produces a continuous sound, like the gurgling of water.

The cheerful music and the bright and crisp sound of the pipa are perfectly matched with the night scene.

After the song was over, the whole audience applauded, and she returned to her seat with satisfaction.

The second lady who came on stage danced for everyone. Her slender and flexible waist was matched with her flowing colorful skirt.

Every spin and jump is so smooth, like a fairy in the sky, pleasing to the eye.

After the first dance ended, there was another round of applause and praise. The third one also played a song on the guzheng.

It is also a very pleasant song, and every note seems to touch the heart, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

There was also applause from the whole room. This year, County Magistrate Guo was the host, so Guo Yulan was the last one to appear.

It was Guo Yulan's turn. She nervously grabbed He Yue's hand. He Yue patted her hand gently and said, "Don't be afraid. Take a deep breath. You have to believe that you are the best."

Guo Yulan took a deep breath, walked to the middle and saluted everyone. Her favorite long zither was right in front of her.

She sat down slowly and looked back at He Yue, who raised her hand and clenched her fist to encourage her.

Guo Yulan took another deep breath, raised her hand and plucked the harp. The melodious and graceful sound of the harp rang out, followed by her clear and pleasant singing voice.

Guo Yulan sang the Water Melody song taught to her by He Yue completely.

Even though County Magistrate Guo had heard it in the government office, he was still amazed when he heard it again today.

Everyone present seemed to be brought into the scene described in the lyrics.

As the song "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart" ended, no one had come to their senses.

Guo Yulan stood up and saluted. "I'm sorry for my poor performance. Please don't mind me."

He Yue was the first to applaud, and then everyone came to their senses and kept clapping. Lord Qian kept praising Guo Yulan.

Guo Yulan returned to her seat, but was pulled by Mrs. Qian before she had the chance to talk to He Yue. The tenderness in her words was beyond words.

Everyone was very happy and praised Guo Yulan, except He Yue, who didn't like a commoner like her sitting with them from the beginning.

What's more, she has always been popular, and suddenly Guo Yulan stole the limelight. She was very unhappy, but she had no choice but to endure it here.

After the performance, we drank tea and ate glutinous rice cakes. The waiters cleared the food on the table and brought tea, snacks and glutinous rice cakes.

There was a cup of tea and a plate of rice cakes in front of each person. Li Lian'er took this opportunity to put the medicine into a cup and a plate of rice cakes before delivering the things.

When it was delivered to her door, she didn't dare go in. She gave the waiter some money and lied to him, "Could you please give this to Dr. He for me? She saved me, and I want to express my gratitude by making her favorite flavor. Could you please give it to her for me?"

The waiter saw that there was money to be collected and heard that it was a token of gratitude, so he didn't think much about it and immediately nodded in agreement.

He walked towards He Yue with the drugged tea and steamed buns, placed them in front of He Yue and left.

He Yue was talking to Guo Yulan. Sitting next to them was the lady who didn't like He Yue. She smelled the tea and steamed buns in front of He Yue and thought they looked better and smelled better than her own.

Seeing that they were chatting with each other and the waiters were walking around, she directly switched with He Yue.

Some people saw it but didn't dare say anything, thinking that it was all the same and there was no need to make a big deal out of it and ruin the happy atmosphere.

After a while, there was a "bang" and the lady fell to the ground.

Everyone put down their things, stopped talking and came over. Her mother anxiously helped her daughter up and said, "Yier, what's wrong with you?"

The magistrate of the neighboring county, Lord Zhou, also hurried forward and asked, "Yier, what's wrong with you? Someone, go get a doctor."

He Yue was right next to her and immediately squatted down to check. Mrs. Zhou pushed He Yue away unhappily and asked, "What are you going to do?"

County Magistrate Guo said to Lord Zhou, "Lord Zhou, she is the doctor, and her medical skills are very impressive. Let her take a look!"

Mr. Zhou nodded and made way for him. "Please."

He Yue checked Miss Zhou, and then checked what she had eaten and the tea she had drunk before saying to Lord Zhou and the others, "Sir, she drank drugged tea and cakes. Don't worry, it's not poisonous, it just makes her feel weak all over. She will be fine after a while."

Mrs. Zhou was relieved. "Are you really okay?"

But Mr. Zhou looked at his daughter and asked, "Who on earth wants to harm my daughter and drug her?"

Miss Zhou looked at He Yue and said weakly, "It's her, it's her."

Although she spoke quietly, everyone heard it. Mrs. Zhou looked at He Yue angrily and said, "My daughter said it was you. Tell me, why did you drug my daughter? We have never seen you before and have no grudge against you. Why did you drug her?"

Guo Yulan immediately explained on He Yue's behalf, "It couldn't have been Yue'er. She had no reason to drug Miss Zhou. You can't listen to Miss Zhou's nonsense."
