Gu Yunzhen also ate some with her, and her eyes gradually reddened from the spiciness, revealing a bewitching beauty that seemed to have descended to earth like an immortal. Under the light, she appeared extremely alluring.
Shangguan Wu put down his chopsticks after eating until he was about 70-80% full.
She noticed that Gu Yunzhen had eaten a lot of spicy food, so she quickly served him a bowl of clear soup: "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine."
Despite saying that, Gu Yunzhen still finished the clear soup under her gaze, feeling much better.
This was Yan Yirou's first New Year after transmigrating into the book, and she never expected to spend it at the Gu family's house.
The Yan family treated her badly, so she felt no sense of belonging and it didn't matter where she spent the New Year.
She couldn't quite put her finger on how she felt, but she genuinely thought the Gu family members were all incredibly good-looking!
Although there are no ugly characters in the novel, any member of the Gu family who enters her world would be a beauty icon who would easily surpass the highest level of the entertainment industry, which is quite nice.
Yan Yirou ate very happily.
But the happiest person tonight is none other than Jimo Yan.
Looking at the fair-skinned and delicate Shangguan Wu and Yan Yirou, one was his daughter-in-law and the other was his future daughter-in-law, he liked them very much.
Qin Yichen came over after having New Year's Eve dinner.
He comes to Gujia to watch the performance every year, and this year is no exception.
Especially now that his younger cousin has married his best friend Gu Si, he should definitely come!
And he has a mission tonight: to record a video!
The performances of the four Gu brothers will be recorded and posted on the Qingkong Forum for public voting.
The Gu family's living room was transformed into a small stage by Jimo cigarettes.
The four Gu brothers took turns performing on stage.
The others sat on the sofas, eating fruits and snacks while watching their performance.
Speaking of which, this performance has continued for twenty years. It started with Gu Yilou alone, then the twin brothers joined, and later Gu Yunzhen was added, making the performance complete.
Every teenager goes through a rebellious phase, let alone the chosen ones.
They each chose their 'favorite' musical instrument, but only Gu Si regretted his decision.
Gu Chenye regretted it tonight too.
Why did he bring Yan Yirou over?
He held the erhu as if it were a hot potato.
However, they are also very filial, otherwise the performances would not have continued for so many years.
As they grow up, they have fewer days to spend at home with their parents, so they try their best to fulfill their parents' wishes.
If Jimo Yan wants to see them perform, then let them perform.
When Gu Yilou played the xun, the audience was completely silent, as if making even the slightest sound would be a desecration of the ethereal melody.
When the song ended, everyone applauded.
Gu Xiaobao stood up excitedly and clapped until his palms were red.
Gu Yilou returned to his side, and then heard Xiaobao say, "Daddy, you play so well! I want to learn. Can you teach me?"
Gu Yilou patted his little head: "You really want to learn?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Xiaobao nodded vigorously.
Gu Yilou smiled: "Okay, I'll start teaching you tomorrow."
Gu Xiaobao happily snuggled into his arms, thinking, "Daddy is the best!"
The second performer was Gu Chenge.
He was playing a folk song, the flute's sound clear, melodious, and pleasing to the ear.
Ji Moyan exclaimed in delight, "Xiao Ge has improved! Not bad!"
Gu Qingyu nodded, he was excited to hear it, after all, every man has boundless ambition.
When Gu Chenge returned to the sofa area, Gu Xiaobao ran up to him, looked up and asked, "Second Uncle, I want to learn the flute, can you teach me?"
Gu Chenge teased him deliberately, "Don't you want to learn the xun from your daddy anymore?"
Gu Xiaobao replied, "I need to learn them all, I have time."
"Okay, I'll teach you!"
Gu Chenge readily agreed to her only nephew's request.
Yan Yirou was stunned!
She thought the Gu brothers' family performances were mainly for silliness and amusement, since they were all very busy and it would be good enough if they could even play a tune.
She never expected their skill level to be so high; they could totally hold a concert!
How did they do it?
Is this what talent is?
Yan Yirou was envious. She couldn't play any musical instruments, nor did she have any fancy words to praise her. She could only scream like a groundhog in her heart.
Gu Chenye noticed Yan Yirou's adoring expression, and he smirked, picked up his erhu, and went on stage.
Qin Yichen had already placed the bar stools on the stage.
"Third Brother, please begin your performance." Qin Yichen gestured for him to begin. Every year, the erhu and suona performances were what he looked forward to the most.
Gu Chenye sat on the stage and played the first note of the erhu.
Yan Yirou stared wide-eyed!
The erhu piece she had heard was "Moon Reflected in the Second Spring," a mournful melody with lingering notes.
But Gu Chenye chose a passionate and uplifting style of music, as if riding a galloping horse across the vast grassland, with the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping.
Gu Chenye's good looks and imposing presence added a lot to the piece.
The contrast is too great; she needs time to process it!
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three Gu brothers.
This is not the piece that Gu Chenye practiced.
Gu Chenye changed the song at the last minute!
They glanced subtly at Yan Yirou, who was intently focused on the stage.
Tsk.
A peacock is spreading its tail feathers!
Gu Yunzhen was sitting to Shangguan Wu's right, and Yan Yirou was sitting to her left. When she saw Gu Yunzhen looking at Yan Yirou, she tugged at his hand.
When he looked at her, she opened her mouth and silently asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yunzhen whispered in her ear, "Third Brother changed the song."
Shangguan Wu didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Gu Yunzhen repeated, "He changed the song!"
Just then, Gu Chenye's melody shifted from high-pitched to low-pitched, from passionate to melodious, so everyone heard Gu Yunzhen's words.
