The old man spoke with great vigor and force, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.
The group of people who were gossiping just now immediately became terrified and silent when they saw the woman being driven out.
The He family is an old and famous family, the first of the three major families. You must be crazy to offend them.
"Hey, He Er, your hot-tempered old man is awesome. Not only does he protect you like a calf, he even protects his granddaughter-in-law who hasn't married yet. Unlike my old man, he makes me angry just by mentioning him."
"You're just a bastard."
“…”
-
After Mr. He finished defending her, his expression changed instantly and he looked at Wen Xi with a smile. If he hadn't heard what Xue Ziqi said just now, he wouldn't have known that this girl was knowledgeable in music theory.
Now that's good.
It will be lively when she enters the He family.
He has wanted to form a band for a long time, but he thought it would be too monotonous and boring to have only men at home, so he didn't put it on the agenda!
"Girl, do you know how to play those instruments?" The old man was eager to find out the strength of the team members.
"I know most of it, but I can't say I'm proficient in it." Wen Xi replied calmly.
"Oh, then, how about a song?"
"Okay, but everyone must be tired of listening to the piano after all this time. I heard that Grandpa He has a great piano in his collection. I wonder if we can borrow it?"
Although the left hand cannot draw for a long time, it can still assist the right hand in playing a few notes.
"Can you also play the guqin?"
Hearing her words, the old man's eyes lit up.
Wen Xi smiled slightly, a small dimple forming on her left cheek. "I just know a little bit, I just hope Grandpa He doesn't mind."
"How could that be! There aren't many young people who can play the guqin these days."
Old Master He seemed to remember something, and was slightly distracted. He stood up and went to the study to get the piano himself.
He was old, and it was a bit strenuous for him to carry the guqin back and forth, but even so, He Tingyan was driven away when he wanted to step forward to help.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old man cherished this piano very much.
Seeing the old man being so kind to Wen Xi and handing the zither to her with great solemnity, Xue Ziqi was so angry that her teeth were almost broken.
She had heard her grandfather mention this zither before, but she had never even seen it, let alone touched it. Now this little goblin had gotten there first!
"Ziqi, you..." At this moment, Cheng Ruolin quietly pulled a piece of broken porcelain out from between the piano keys while no one else was paying attention. She looked at her in disbelief and said, "I know you like Tingyan and hate her, but this isn't a smart move. If you get caught... and you saw Tingyan defending her just now, he won't let you off easily. Not only will the He and Xue families be implicated, I'm afraid Aunt Zhen will be implicated too."
Xue Ziqi snorted coldly, snatched the thing from Cheng Ruolin's hand, held it in his hand and walked off the stage.
When he went down, he happened to pass by Wen Xi who was going up on stage with a zither in his arms.
Xue Ziqi rolled his eyes at the man and said with disdain, "I asked you to come, and you actually came? You're not afraid of losing face, you're really thick-skinned! And you're even saying 'I know the basics'? How shameless! I'm waiting to see you fail."
"It seems that Miss Xue hasn't been slapped enough in the face?" Wen Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"What did you say!?"
"Chinese, why don't you understand?"
“…”
"Alas, originally, since it's almost New Year, I really didn't want to bother with you, but you insisted on coming up to me. You can't blame me then."
Wen Xi walked towards the stage with a smile on her face, holding the zither.
The guqin has been well maintained. Although the body of the guqin is covered with old scars and the material looks very ancient, it exudes an indescribable aura.
