Chapter 195: Liang Zhu
Yun Wansheng was also infected by their joyful atmosphere. She was a little reserved at first, but now she relaxed a lot.
However, just as she was about to relax, an unwelcome person came over.
"Wow! It's so lively!" Lin Yao walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face, but when she saw Yun Wansheng, she glanced at her rudely with a look of disdain.
"Ms. Lin, you are here too?" Miss Tang stood up and greeted her.
Although this young lady of the Grand Tutor's family is already married, she has always considered herself Miss Lin and doesn't like others to call her Madam Lin.
Everyone understood what she was thinking. She felt that the status of the Grand Tutor's daughter was much more prestigious than that of Madam Lin in the Shangshu Mansion.
"Ms. Tang, I can hear your happy laughter from far away. I wonder what you are playing?" Lin Yao said in a gentle tone.
"We are having a talent competition! Whoever wins will be given ten taels of silver as a reward. It's not a lot of silver, but it makes the game more fun. Miss Lin, do you want to participate?" Tang Lian'er asked.
"Of course I will participate in such a fun event. If I lose, I will also pay ten taels." Lin Yao responded happily.
"That's great, it's more fun with more people. Miss Yun, do you want to come with us?" Tang Lian'er asked Yun Wansheng.
"Okay! I'd be happy to." Yun Wansheng agreed generously.
"Miss Tang, I have to remind you that Madam Yun used to be a street singer. Aren't you afraid that letting her join you will spoil everyone's fun?" Lin Yao said with a malicious smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Yun Wansheng with scrutiny in their eyes, and a few even had unhappy expressions, as if this woman had lowered their status.
Qiao Xue never expected that her future sister-in-law was actually a lowly singing girl. She had never heard Shangguan Lan mention her before.
Yun Wansheng glanced at the young ladies, and finally looked at her future sister-in-law beside her: "Qiao Xue, do you look down on me too?"
Qiao Xue met the woman's inquiring gaze. Her expression paused for a moment before she smiled. "How could that be? You were separated from your brother when you were young, and becoming a singing girl wasn't something you could have done. Besides, your original status wasn't lowly. You were the eldest daughter of the Yan tribe. It was just fate playing a trick on you. You're no less than any of us, at least I don't think so."
Yun Wansheng couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "You are worthy of being my sister-in-law. I have chosen you."
When the people around heard this, their eyes changed again. One woman said, "So Madam Yun used to be the eldest daughter of the Yan tribe. I was thinking! You have a temperament that shows you are not one of those country girls."
"Yes! As soon as I saw her, I felt that she had an outstanding temperament, was beautiful and dignified. It seems that no matter how big the setbacks a person encounters, it cannot hide her original charm." Another woman smiled softly.
When they said this, the other ladies all agreed and put aside their previous contempt.
Lin Yao was really angry when she saw that everyone changed their opinion of Yun Wansheng so quickly and became a little cold towards her. She didn't expect that Yun Wansheng's real identity was the eldest daughter of the Yan tribe.
Although her status is not as noble as hers, she is still respected by everyone in the tribe. Anyone who sees her has to respectfully call her "Miss" instead of "singing girl".
"Humph! Even if she's a lady of the Yan clan, the songs she knows are nothing more than some country songs, hardly worthy of being performed in a refined setting."
Yun Wansheng didn't get angry when she said that: "A country song is still a song. Maybe your song is not as good as mine."
"How shameless! If I lose to you today, my name will be written backwards." Lin Yao sneered.
"Then we'll wait and see!"
"You lost?"
"I also write my name upside down when I lose it."
"Okay! It's a deal!" Lin Yao said confidently, then looked at Tang Lian'er: "Miss Tang, we can begin."
"Ms. Lin, since you two started competing first, let's start with you! Who of you two will go first?" Tang Lian'er wisely stepped back and didn't argue with her.
"Then let her come first! Don't accuse me of taking advantage of my power and deliberately suppressing her." Lin Yao said pretentiously.
"Does Madam Yun agree?" Tang Lian'er asked Yun Wansheng.
"No problem!" Yun Wansheng smiled.
"Okay! The guzheng is placed beside the corridor, you can go over and play it." Tang Lian'er led her to the guzheng.
Yun Wansheng sat down naturally, put her hands on the strings to test the tone, while thinking about the song she wanted to play.
After thinking it over, a song of Liang Zhu sung by Chen Huilan was played in this fictional ancient Shun Shang Kingdom!
The beautiful music style and the sad and gentle melody instantly bring people into a weeping and plaintive piano music.
The delicate and pleasant music is like a pair of lovers telling each other a story, vividly showing the strong emotional fluctuations of people, pulling at the heartstrings and leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Yun Wansheng seemed to be playing the piano seriously, but no one knew that at this moment she was thinking about the person she could not forget.
Thinking about their beginning, their fights and quarrels, that man's contempt and slander, and his love for her, in short, her mind was now full of that man's figure.
She thought that as time went by she would slowly forget everything about that man, but unexpectedly, when she recalled it, she remembered everything about their past clearly, and she couldn't help but think of their past in this music.
Even the most beautiful music has to end. When the piano stopped playing, the ladies sitting in a circle in the pavilion did not move for a long time.
Several women who were so engrossed in the music were wiping their tears with their handkerchiefs. This was the most touching piece of music they had ever heard, and it left them with a lasting impression.
Yun Wansheng, who was sitting in the corridor, finished playing a song. Her moist eyes naturally raised and looked towards the other side of the pond.
I didn't know when a group of male guests were standing on the other side of the river. I saw them looking at each other across the water, and it was obvious that their eyes were on me.
She wanted to look away, but she glanced inadvertently to the left and saw the man she just remembered, Mu Xingci.
She sighed softly, retracted her gaze, stopped looking at him, and turned her head to look at Lin Yao who was standing at the entrance of the pavilion.
"Ms. Lin, it's your turn!" He stood up and made room for her.
Lin Yao came back to her senses, her eyes full of annoyance. She had never expected that this bitch's piano skills were so amazing. If she went up to play again, she would be asking for trouble.
A glance at the reactions of the spectators around her made her even less courageous to compete with her. No matter how arrogant she was, she knew that she had lost today.
"Yun Wansheng, I won't compete with a singing girl like you. If I argue with someone of your low status, it will only damage my reputation."
He found a way out for himself, said this arrogantly and rudely, and quickly left the place.
