Chen Qingyin checked it and said, "Guzheng is fine."
After that, she looked up and looked at Liang Ruosheng expressionlessly: "You, go down."
The tone was as if he was driving away a servant who was in the way.
Liang Ruosheng felt that he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue.
Liang Yunyan felt her self-esteem was hurt, especially in front of so many people.
Just as she was about to retort, Linlang pushed her and drove the mother and daughter off the piano platform.
Chen Qingyin sat behind the guzheng and plucked the strings twice with her slender fingertips to adjust the strings.
Wherever her fingers touched, beautiful music seemed to flow out automatically.
The melody is desolate, like walking in an endless desert.
It seems that you can still hear the loud cry of the goshawk, bringing up a lonely fiery red sun.
Gradually, everyone became absorbed in listening.
Even Liang Yunyan was shocked. As soon as Chen Qingyin's tune started, she could tell it was not simple.
As the melody gradually quickened and the rhythm rose and fell, the guests seemed to be reminded of the towering mountains again.
It was as if I could see the army marching thousands of miles, with iron horses on the frozen river!
It was also as if I could see the soldiers being recruited outside the Great Wall, with the high spirits before the battlefield!
Hu Mianmian clapped her hands: "Mom is so awesome!"
The wife of Marquis Jinyang looked down at the little guy and said with a smile: "Your mother's songs were hard to come by back then. I wonder how many men were vying for her."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Hu Yunshen who was dumbfounded over there, and the wife of Marquis Jinyang couldn't help but roll her eyes.
These ladies, who were so close to each other at the time, never imagined that Chen Qingyin would marry a man who was inferior to her in every way.
As the music reached its climax, it was as if a war had begun. Her fingers danced faster on the strings and the music became more passionate.
Hu Mianmian became excited and raised the small bottle as if she was going to the battlefield.
The little fellow glanced around and saw that everyone was listening intently.
Hu Mianmian covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly.
In this case, she came to help her mother!
So she waved her little hand, and thousands of golden lights burst into the sky and scattered in all directions.
Soon, many orioles and magpies flew over, circled in the air, and spread their beautiful wings.
Everyone looked up in astonishment and shouted—
"Look, it's a lucky bird! The music has attracted the lucky bird!"
"Look, the clouds in the sky look like a phoenix, don't they?"
Liang Yunyan looked up into the sky and froze for a moment.
In the azure sky, the clouds illuminated by the sun are as fiery red as a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring towards the east.
It was so shocking that even Liang Ruosheng was speechless.
When Chen Qingyin finished her song and stood up, the audience in the courtyard came back to their senses.
Everyone stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
"Auspicious sign, it really is an auspicious sign! Madam is so amazing, her song attracted the Fire Phoenix. We are blessed by you today!"
Chen Qingyin did not expect such a scene to occur and thought it was just a coincidence.
She nodded slightly to show her humility.
"Thank you, everyone." After saying that, she asked Linlang to put away the guzheng.
More and more people praised Chen Qingyin, and the guests looked at her with nothing but admiration.
She is so beautiful and has a good family background, and the music she plays on the piano sounds like heavenly music.
Madam Hu gave Hu Yunshen a look and said, "Hurry up and ask the kitchen to serve the meal. Otherwise, how long do we have to wait to eat?"
Liang Yunyan felt jealous when she saw everyone surrounding Chen Qingyin and praising her.
She lowered her head and glanced at Liang Ruosheng.
It's time to take action.
Liang Ruosheng understood, covered her face, and walked past Rong'er crying.
Rong Er immediately looked over and asked in a loud voice, "You, why are you crying?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Liang Ruosheng covered her face and said, "Nothing, Third Master, please stop asking. I misunderstood the Madam..."
When Hu Lan heard that it was related to Chen Qingyin, she immediately jumped out.
"Ruosheng, if you have any grievances, just tell me, don't keep it in your heart. It can't be that my sister-in-law bullied you, right?"
Liang Ruosheng looked at Chen Qingyin fearfully and quickly shook his head.
Everyone looked and thought that the child seemed to be afraid of Mrs. Hu. Was there really some hidden secret?
Chen Qingyin frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to act like this?"
Liang Yunyan walked over and protected Liang Ruosheng behind her.
"Madam, please calm down. I didn't let her say it. The child is outspoken and I was afraid that it would offend you."
Hu Lan glanced at Chen Qingyin and concluded that she was the one who had wronged Liang Yunyan and her daughter.
So he said decisively: "Mrs. Liang, just tell me, my sister-in-law is not an unreasonable person, and my parents and brother are here today. Even if you are really wronged, I can still make the decision for you."
When Lady Jinyang Marquis heard this, she frowned fiercely.
Who are these people? From what I hear, they are also going to deal with the mistress of the house?
Liang Yunyan said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing, it's just a small matter."
"It's not a small matter, mother. Didn't you almost get bitten by bugs? The cloth that the eldest lady gave us was full of bugs."
One sentence is like a rock falling into water, causing a thousand waves.
Chen Qingyin was surprised: "Bugs?"
Liang Yunyan looked at her and said, "Madam, I know that you have shown me great kindness by allowing me to stay in the Hu Mansion with Ruosheng, but the cloth you sent me... is really unwearable."
Liang Ruosheng said hurriedly: "I'll get it for everyone to see."
She ran away.
Hu Lan looked at Chen Qingyin and said, "Sister-in-law, I asked you to arrange decorations for the mother and daughter to express your welcome. How could you be so careless that you even sent them cloth with bugs on it?"
Chen Qingyin didn't want to talk. She knew Hu Lan was deliberately angry because she didn't help Hu Lan invite the guests.
Linlang said, "Madam has never sent any cloth. We have made a list of the furnishings for Madam Liang's room. We have all the necessary items, from bedding to quilts, to potted plants and jades for playing with, but no cloth. If Second Miss wants to see it, I can show you the list."
Hu Lan snorted coldly: "Who wants to see it? If you really gave it to me, you wouldn't admit it."
Madam Hu said sternly, "Qingyin, our Hu family is honest and upright. You can't do such a shabby thing and bring shame to us."
Chen Qingyin said calmly: "I know what's going on after seeing the fabric. I'm also curious about how this thing, which I have never sent, ended up at Mrs. Liang's place."
As she said this, she looked at Hu Yunshen meaningfully.
Could it be that her husband had taken something from her warehouse and sent it to someone else without telling her?
But Hu Yunshen's expression was also very puzzled.
Liang Yunyan said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "It doesn't matter, it's okay even if it's a rag. It can be used just the same. I won't mind it."
Hu Lan immediately said, "How can that be! Madam Liang, you are the widow of a soldier, how can we in the Hu Mansion bully you? Even the mistress cannot let you suffer any injustice!"
Looking at Hu Lan holding Liang Yunyan's arm, it was as if they were sisters-in-law.
Chen Qingyin felt disappointed.
She used to take care of Hu Lan as if she were her own sister, giving her the best of everything, introducing her to powerful families, and giving her her own jewelry.
But this is the result.
No wonder people say that a little kindness pays off, a big kindness pays off!
At this time, Liang Ruosheng ran back.
When they saw the cloth in her hands, Hu Lan and Mrs. Hu's faces changed.
"This, how could this be..." Hu Lan opened her eyes wide.
How could it be the cloth she secretly left behind last time?
I vaguely remember that Chen Qingyin arranged for the servant to throw it away, but she snatched it back.
At that time, she was still thinking that being born in the Prime Minister's Mansion was different, as such good cloth could be thrown away at will.
It turned out to be infested with worms! ?
Hu Lan and Mrs. Hu each took two pieces, but because they were too valuable, they were still placed at the bottom of the box and had not been made into clothes.
Who could have thought that it would be exposed by Liang Yunyan!
Hu Lan was panicked, and Old Madam Hu was also dumbfounded.
Liang Ruosheng lifted the cloth and everyone looked. As expected, it was full of dead insects and holes eaten away by them.
Hu Yunshen, who didn't understand what was going on, shouted angrily, "Qingyin! How could you do this?"
