As Cheng Ying walked into the yard, he heard the sound of a pipa. Although he had not touched the pipa for many years, his former skills were still there. With just a quick listen, he could tell that the player had obviously just started learning the instrument. His fingering was stiff and awkward, and the strings sounded a little noisy.
Entering the main room, Cheng Ying was slightly startled when he saw Liang Wushuang, who was half holding a pipa in her arms, lowering her brows and nodding her head to play the strings. He sat down on the chair, his eyes fell on her face, and he was a little absent-minded.
Liang Wushuang had just started learning and didn't remember the fingering very clearly. When he saw Cheng Ying coming in, he became nervous and actually played several strings wrong.
Liang Wushuang was annoyed and panicked for a moment. He subconsciously looked up at Cheng Ying and saw that he was staring at him in a daze, and seemed not to notice that he had played the wrong note.
Liang Wushuang took a deep breath and continued to pluck the strings and play.
Cheng Yingjing listened for a while before she realized that Liang Wushuang was playing "Nichang Fenghua", but the music score and fingering were wrong. It was very different from what the little girl from the Liu family played in the Plum Garden that day.
The little girl's gorgeous clothes are about 60% similar to those of my junior sister.
After the song was finished, Liang Wushuang was so nervous that her palms were wet with sweat. Knowing that Cheng Ying was obsessed with cleanliness, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her palms. Then she stood up holding the pipa and smiled, "Du Gong, are you here to keep Wushuang company?"
The smile on her face was as bright as the woman in the painting, but it was deliberately learned, so it was neither natural nor fake.
Cheng Ying stood up and walked slowly to her side, her eyes falling on the pipa, "When did you learn this?"
Liang Wushuang lowered his chin slightly and said softly, "I have nothing to do all day, so I thought of learning some little tricks to pass the time. I just made a fool of myself."
Cheng Ying touched the strings with her fingertips, "The fingering is wrong, the plucking should be heavy on the plucking and light on the twang."
Liang Wushuang smiled shyly and placed her slender fingers on the strings. "Does the governor also know pipa? Would you please give me some pointers?"
She was thinking in her heart that she had guessed right and it was not in vain that she had wasted her time learning this shameful thing.
Cheng Ying was much gentler than usual today, and her cold and stern temperament seemed to have subsided.
He avoided Liang Wushuang's fingers and gave her some instructions. Liang Wushuang had an expression of having learned something, but she had no talent for music and could not understand it immediately. Her fingers plucked the strings clumsily, making harsh noises from time to time.
Cheng Ying patiently taught her for a while, but then she lost interest.
No matter how similar this face is, she is not my junior sister after all.
In fact, when his junior sister first learned to play the pipa, she was also very clumsy, but because it was her, he could teach her over and over again without getting tired of it. He did not feel impatient, but was filled with joy instead.
Even when his junior sister complained that the pipa was difficult to learn and didn't want to learn it anymore, he would still coax her gently to learn it.
I am afraid that there will never be such a preference again.
Liang Wushuang saw the impatience on Cheng Ying's face, so he stopped while he was ahead, and said with an apologetic smile, "I was poor before, and I have never touched the pipa. I also don't know anything about fingering. I am sorry to make you laugh."
"It's okay. If you like, I'll ask someone to send you a pipa someday." Cheng Ying said lightly.
Liang Wushuang thanked him with a smile, but what she was thinking about in her heart was the pipa in the study. It had been kept safely in the study for so many years, so it naturally had a different meaning. One day, she would get the pipa and replace the woman in the scroll in Cheng Ying's heart.
Liang Wushuang ordered the maids to serve the dishes and said softly, "I have been waiting for the governor to come back for the reunion dinner."
"There was a palace banquet in the palace, so we were delayed for a while."
Cheng Ying's voice was faint and nothing could be heard, but Liang Wushuang could sense something different from her explanation. A man like Cheng Gong was willing to elaborate on the explanation, which showed that she still had some weight in his heart.
The maids came in one after another carrying the dishes, moving carefully and without making any sound. The warm yellow light made Cheng Ying's usually feminine and cold face soften a little.
Liang Wushuang's heart started pounding after just one look.
She also discovered that today's Cheng Gong seemed more like an ordinary person. The sense of distance from a superior person and the cruelty of holding the power of life and death seemed to have faded a lot.
Liang Wushuang raised the corners of her lips. No matter how cold and heartless a person is, the heart in his chest is still alive. As long as she is willing to spend more time and effort, she can always hold that person's heart in her hands.
While eating, Cheng Ying suddenly asked, "Where did you learn the song you played just now?"
Hearing it in the Plum Garden that day was an unexpected surprise for Cheng Ying, and it brought back an old memory.
But it doesn't mean that anyone can ruin the song "Nichang Fenghua".
Liang Wushuang swallowed the food in her mouth gently. For some reason, she was reluctant to mention Liu Yujiao in front of Cheng Ying. She heard from Yang Jiyan that when Liu Yujiao had her coming-of-age ceremony, the governor went to Liu's house and deliberately made things difficult for her.
But Liang Wushuang's woman's intuition made her feel that maybe it was not as Yang Jiyan said.
Liang Wushuang has been following Cheng Ying for quite some time. He is a man who will not show mercy to women or children. If someone really displeases him, he can use countless cruel methods to make the person suffer neither the fate nor the life.
At the Liu family's coming-of-age banquet, Mr. Cheng's behavior was more like he had seen an interesting gadget and was deliberately playing with it.
