The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

"But at that time, I knew that Kui'er was there. No matter how well I did in this matter, I was ultimately unable to retain many guests. After all, her piano skills are still unmatched. At that time, I was not very willing to try these things."

“Now that Kui’er is here, no matter what I do, she will always be here. Those guests who like to listen to her play the piano will always stay because of her. So, when I first met Kui’er, I had this thought in mind: the best thing would be to learn to play the piano with her.”

"But I also thought that she was not in a good mood right now, so I didn't bring it up too much. I was thinking of making plans after a few days. But since you brought it up now, Miss Tong, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that if Miss Kui'er doesn't mind, I can learn to play the zither with her in the future."

"Not to mention that playing the zither is inherently a way to cultivate one's character, just the joy it brings and the way to vent emotions are things that I can only dream of but never achieve. I'm just afraid that I'll be too clumsy in learning these things and upset Miss Kui'er."

Looking at Yun Yatou's attitude, and based on her understanding of her over the past few days, Tong Qian naturally knew that what she said was definitely from the bottom of her heart, and there was no possibility of hypocrisy. It's just that she herself is the kind of person who is particularly intelligent. Even if she can't learn something the first time, she can grasp it very clearly after two or three times.

How could she be considered stupid? If that were the case, how would she define herself? Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark, she heard Kui'er interrupt her abruptly. Seeing how anxious Kui'er was, she suddenly became interested.

When Kui'er listened to what Yun Yatou said, she was also surprised. She did not expect that what Yun Yatou was considering was that she would look down on her and feel that Yun Yatou would be a burden to her. However, in these considerations, Yun Yatou's thoughts were indeed very similar to those she had heard about when she first heard them.

However, when something happens, the first thing I think about is not how I will be affected, but that I am always afraid that others will think I am bad or that I am inappropriate. I am extra careful in many things, but I don't know that the other person is also having the same emotions as me.

Before he could figure out what to do, and still somewhat shocked by what Yun Yatou had just said, he looked at Tong Qian, who was about to speak. He wanted to listen to her finish before speaking, but he was afraid that what she said would contradict what he wanted to say. If that happened, he wouldn't have the courage to speak no matter what he wanted to say.

Thinking this, he didn't wait for Tong Qian to say anything more and hurriedly said, "Miss Tong, I think it would be very inappropriate if I didn't say anything after all, since Miss Yun has already said so much about this matter."

When Tong Qian saw her finally speak, she couldn't help but feel a little grateful that she was finally going to say what she wanted to say, and her eyes were full of encouragement.

Kui'er looked at it and let out a soft sigh. She then said, "Actually, I had heard from many guests that Miss Yun's singing is particularly captivating and makes people want to hear it again after hearing it once. At that time, I thought that if I had the opportunity, I would definitely ask Miss Yun for her guidance."

"But putting aside the relationship between the two teahouses, there was already a slight tension between them. Just to put it simply, Miss Yun and I didn't have the opportunity to get to know each other. Even if we wanted to, there was no one to act as our intermediary. But now that we have this opportunity, how can we just let it slip by?"

"The reason I haven't spoken up so far is because, as you and I just said, it's because I'm afraid. There are still too many things I can't see clearly in these matters. After all, I always feel that there are many things that require a lot of time and effort when I'm learning these things. I'm afraid that Miss Yun will think that I can play the piano but can't sing well."

"It's a deliberate avoidance; I don't want to do these things from the bottom of my heart. That's why I haven't said anything about my attitude. I don't mean any reluctance. If Miss Yun wants to learn to play the zither with me, then I would naturally be very happy to do so."

Seeing the expectation on Tong Qian's face, he felt a little relieved. The fact that she could calm down and listen to him, and temporarily act as his audience, gave him a certain degree of recognition. "Someone can share with me the joy of having something that others don't understand. For me, this is something I would be very happy to do."

As she said this, she lowered her head slightly. If she were to speak again at this moment and ask any more questions, she really wouldn't know how to answer appropriately.

Seeing the two of them acting so anxiously, Tong Qian knew it must be because her words had touched a nerve. But she realized that her words were just a fluke. With that thought, she coughed lightly.

Then he said, "I could guess that your attitude toward this matter is not one of resistance, but if you had said so from the beginning, that would have been so much better. Why would I have needed to say so much more? Since you all have this intention, then let's make plans when you all go to the village later."

"These things can be learned in a short time, but they can't be mastered perfectly overnight, so there's no need to worry too much about them. Now you can eat first, and after you finish eating, just go back to the teahouse. I'll come back to pick up Kui'er in the afternoon."

"I'll make plans for these things later. Let's put them aside for now." Saying this, she turned to Kui'er and said, "When you go back later, just pack some clothes that you need to change into. You don't need to bring too much."

"Because no matter what, I think that if you stay there for a few days, your mood will be much better. At that time, you will want to come back and try out that brand new form of performance with Yun."
