An ethereal song, with Taiyin curling around the beams. The magical power of music is indeed effective. Everyone in the banquet hall can't help but restrain their emotions and sit upright. It seems that even the heavy drinkers have been affected by this clear music, and their souls have been lifted. They were all washed and the drunkenness was gone.
The gentle tones, unhurried and slow rhythm, have more magical power to win people's hearts than the exciting and sonorous "Martial Dance" march.
The anger suddenly disappeared, and there was peace.
Following the music of Taiyin, the faces of Zhao Huai and Yang Feng gradually changed from angry and entangled to quiet, and even in the end, a layer of joy gradually appeared.
Guangkang's face was the most spring-filled. After all, he was his disciple. He should be the most proud of being able to achieve this effect.
"My son's musical skills have improved again! Congratulations!"
The last group of notes in "Taiyin" were gently swept out of harmony, and before the lingering notes were dissipated, a close friend had arrived.
Doctor Xiang had also arrived outside the banquet hall a long time ago. He had quietly stopped outside the hall door just now and stopped to listen to Xiang Zheng finish playing the extremely difficult "Taiyin". Then he let out a sigh of praise and walked forward. Entering the threshold of the banquet hall.
Following Doctor Xiang, the person who was pulled into the banquet hall was a thin and small man. He was hidden by the doctor's robe and was not noticed by anyone inside for a while.
"Father!" Xiang Zheng left the seat, quickly jumped up, and ran quickly to his father's side.
While Xiang Xu waved his right hand, preparing to welcome Xiang Zheng's defection, he used his left hand to pull out a little man from behind like a magic trick, put his arms around his shoulders, pushed him in front of him, and said: " Zheng Er! This is your brother Zhong Er, come here and meet him!"
"Brother Zhong'er! Ah, he has grown up so much!" The last time Xiang Zheng saw this brother, he was still a swaddled baby held tightly by the crazy little Mrs. Xiang; they hadn't seen him for three years, and now, That baby has grown into a lively little boy that you can play with!
Xiang Zheng was so happy that, regardless of letting his father hug him, he bent down first, held this cute little brother in his arms, lifted him high, and spun him around in circles! ——This is what he has always wanted to do. Today, this little toy was actually brought back by his father, which made him so happy.
Previously, when I was playing the piano for my father, the piece was called "Crane Ming Jiugao". There was a part in the middle that expressed the content of "fish lurking in the abyss, or in the abyss; fish in the abyss, or lurking in the abyss". Zheng asked his father, and he said that Master Guangkang said that this song was about a group of cranes dancing and playing happily, but his father would always feel sad when he heard this song.
When I asked, it turned out that when Dr. Xiang saw Xiang Zheng, he thought of his other son, Xiang Zhong, who was still in a remote mountain. How could he have any joy and freedom with his eldest son?
Therefore, Xiang Zheng sensiblely made a request to his father to see this younger brother, saying that he was too bored. If he could bring his younger brother back, he would practice the piano better and let his father better enjoy the beauty of music. During the family time, he could also study with his younger brother, and even offered to have six of his own masters, and also accepted his younger brother as his apprentice.
Xiang Zhong was hugged and turned around by this kind and enthusiastic brother, but he didn't feel dizzy. In fact, he had been drilled in this way by "Little Tail" so many times, and he had already adapted to being "played like a toy" with various moves.
Xiang Zheng was a little surprised to see this "toy" that was rotated up and down, left and right, so calm. He always felt that what he should see was not such a "calm and gentle" expression. At least this "toy" should give out a sound. Two calls? But from the beginning to the end, this younger brother was silent the whole time. He just opened his eyes slightly and stared quietly into his eyes. The corners of his mouth were flat, as if to say: "I'm just looking at you like this. Looking at you... can I... how?"
At this time, there was another expression in the hall, which was perfectly explaining what "inexplicable hatred" meant.
Mrs. Xiang did not welcome the appearance of this little thing, which was completely opposite to her Zheng Er's joy. She hated this child, just as she deeply hated the little Mrs. Xiang who she had tried to drive away. She cursed in her heart and thought, it was so difficult to drive away this mother and son! It's only been three years of peace and quiet, why did you bring this bastard back! In the future, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to myself and Zheng Er!
She stared at the child who was held up in the sky as a treasure by her son with very disgusted eyes. Just when Xiang Zhong was being spun around by Xiang Zheng, she discovered a detail: that child should be prepared for the "Crown Ceremony". The family's exclusive jade pendant was moved from Xiang Zheng's neck to the back of his neck, drawing an arch in the air. This was worn by Xiang Zhong as a pendant on his chest.
As the head wife of the Xiang family, Mrs. Xiang knows very well that the jade pendant can only be officially awarded by the head of the family during the crowning ceremony after the child has officially recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. However, this jade pendant has not fulfilled any The "bastard" during the entry ceremony actually got this Xiang family jade pendant in advance. Even his biological son Xiang Zheng only looked at it with swallowed saliva and was not allowed to be touched. He had to wait until he was old enough. Can have.
It seems that we can finally catch the "little braid"! Mrs. Xiang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a sinister expression.
The six gentlemen, all in good order, bowed to the doctor and greeted the official.
"Hello, doctor!"
"Gentlemen, please get up! There is a banquet today. I am bringing my son Xiang Zhong here. I hope to get to know you all. From now on, please pay more attention to teach him how to read, calligraphy, etiquette, music and archery. Together with Zheng Er, please treat all gentlemen equally. Thank you for your careful teaching!" Dr. Xiang also returned the courtesy to the gentlemen. At the same time, he pulled Xiang Zheng to the front and added emphatically:
"Although Chong'er is weak and has congenital ear problems and hearing impairment, he has a superhuman mind and extraordinary intelligence. He has his own method that allows him to read lips and overcome this obstacle. However, his speech is somewhat different from ordinary people. It's not commonly spoken, and the intonation is different, but it's generally close to the correct pronunciation. Listen carefully, or give him a pen, and you can still communicate."
Since he was apprenticed, Xiang Zhong had to give face to his father, and seriously made a standard formal apprenticeship ceremony of kneeling down and prostrating, and reluctantly said: "Student Xiang Zhong, I have met you gentlemen!"
The six gentlemen were surprised to see the second son of the Xiang family who was grandly introduced. Although he was very young, he was as calm as a young adult. He saluted, said and drank, and responded to the request. They were also very surprised, so they returned the courtesy neatly. The first meeting of this new group of master-disciple relationships was completed.
"Although Zhong'er is young, gentlemen, please don't look down upon him. He has something that even my Zheng'er doesn't have!" Mrs. Xiang slowly walked around behind Xiang Zhong, and started to interrupt according to the timing.
