Chapter 1021 Ancient Song
Xun An suggested: "Sing. There are celebrities here who study classical dance and ballet. They have received systematic training since they were three or four years old. They have won international awards. You can't compete with them."
Xia Ling was slightly unconvinced: "What if I can survive?"
He thought she was very cute and couldn't help but touch her head.
Xia Ling glared at him angrily: "Don't underestimate me!"
"Okay, okay, I don't underestimate you," Xun An suppressed a smile, "but I want to hear you sing. You have such a nice voice, so you should also sing nicely."
"Of course," she said proudly again, raising her delicate chin with pride, "I can sing a lot of songs. When I was in the orphanage, every time I sang, a lot of people would come around to listen. Woolen cloth."
Xun An smiled and said, "What can you sing?"
She named a few songs and said, "I can also arrange music myself."
He said: "Really? Make up a song and listen to it."
Since she was adopted by Pei Ziheng, her living environment has been very different from before, and she has had fewer opportunities to sing. Seeing Xun An's interest, she was very excited and planned to sing a song. What should I sing? Her clear and flowing eyes looked at the lake surface where the lotus leaves were growing slowly in midsummer. In the refreshing fragrance, she suddenly had an idea.
“You can pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields with lotus leaves…”
She sang softly, an ancient Han Dynasty music song. Once, the teacher at the orphanage taught them this poem, but now she composed it into a tune casually, and it was surprisingly clear and melodious to the pond of lotus flowers.
Xun An was dumbfounded after hearing this.
He had long guessed that she sang well, but he didn't expect it to be so good. The girl in front of her was clasping her knees and looking at a pond of lotus flowers. The breeze was gently blowing through her crow-green hair. Her light-colored dress was a little dirty on the gravel ground, but it had a beautiful and swaying aura. Xun An has never seen any other girl who can wear such a noble and elegant outfit so casually and so charmingly.
Unknowingly, he looked at her in a daze.
Her song ended with a faint lingering aftertaste. She turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "Doesn't it sound nice?"
“Ah? Well!” He just came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly. Not only does it sound good? It was simply the best singing voice he had ever heard! This feeling, this scene, coupled with such a heavenly singing voice, is simply a fairyland on earth.
Xun An said to Xia Ling, "That's great! If you participate in the talent competition with this song, you will definitely become the most talented girl in the audience!" What about those rich ladies who are good at dancing and playing the piano? ? Who is as fresh, natural and touching as her? Besides, the eldest ladies compete in talent every year, and the other guests are somewhat tired of the aesthetics. How can they compare to her who looked like the sound of nature in her first appearance?
Xia Ling said, "Really? But whether you can be selected as a celebrity in Midsummer is not just about this." Xun An had just explained to her the rules for selecting celebrities in Midsummer, and she also found herself in front of Pei Jingyu and the others. How ridiculous it is to boast about Haikou. With her background, it’s not surprising that she got the last place!
Xun An shrugged: "They deliberately want to see you make a fool of yourself. Even if you don't want to participate, they will definitely make you come on stage. Xiao Ling, show your skills and let them see who is inferior to whom!" Even if you don’t win the crown of Midsummer Celebrity, you can’t lose too badly, you have to slap them in the face!”
Xia Ling burst out laughing: "Why are you more excited than me?" Xun An waved his fist in mid-air, his eyes shining: "Of course, I decided to help you! People say that adding icing on the cake is easy, and providing help in the snow. Difficult, as long as I help you in times of need, Director Pei will definitely look at me with admiration! Then my status in the family will definitely improve!"
Xia Ling laughed again. She didn't know whether Xun An was really naive or if he was too deep in the city to actually say these things to her so clearly. However, compared to getting along with those young ladies who hide their knives in their smiles, she prefers this upbeat young man. No matter what his purpose is, at least he is clearly good to her.
“How are you going to help me?” she asked curiously.
“Come, come, come here...”
The two whispered for a while, and Xia Ling laughed softly at his words. The breeze blew slowly by the lotus pond, and the clear and melodious laughter of the boy and the girl faintly spread far away.
Pei Ziheng sat in the pavilion with Pei Zhenyuan.
Pei Zhenyuan is lecturing: "It's okay if you adopt a wild child, play with it for a few days and then throw it away, I won't blame you. But what do you mean by bringing her to the banquet? Don't you know what this banquet is for? !”
Pei Ziheng was absent-minded and stared gloomily at the lotus pond in the distance, where Xiao Ling was sitting and laughing with a clean and cheerful young man. The young man dared to touch her head with his hand! Pei Ziheng was thinking in his mind that he would make that bold young man look good later!
“Are you listening to me?” Pei Zhenyuan was very angry and scolded him.
"I'm listening." Pei Ziheng's voice was calm and he looked away from the lotus pond. "Uncle, it's my own business to adopt Xiao Ling, and it's also my own business to bring to the flower viewing party. You just need to take care of the group's affairs. That’s all. As for my personal matters, I won’t worry about them.”
He finished speaking and stood up: "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
“You!” Pei Zhenyuan was so angry that his liver ached. This child was getting more and more disobedient!
Looking at Pei Ziheng's back as he strode away, Pei Zhenyuan once again felt that this grandnephew was really becoming more and more disobedient... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? He remembered his nephew's last words before he died, holding his hand and telling him: "Second uncle... Zi Heng is courageous and capable, but sometimes he is too headstrong and too young... Please help him well." , help him stabilize the emperor's empire, and..."
Before my nephew could finish what he said, he closed his eyes and passed away suddenly.
But Pei Zhenyuan knew what he wanted to say - look after Zi Heng and don't let him go astray.
What is a crooked path? Apart from taking good care of the family business and finding a well-known Shuyuan to get married and have children, everything else is wrong!
Pei Zhenyuan sighed, remembering that when Pei Ziheng first took over the family business, he listened to his opinions as an independent and important minister. However, in recent years, as his power in the emperor became more and more stable, some things gradually changed. changed. It is a good thing for young people to have their own ideas, but it is also a bad thing to have too many ideas!
Pei Zhenyuan decided to use this Xia Ling incident to give Pei Ziheng a good beating and let him know what the tradition of the Emperor Pei family is and what family justice is!
The old man was sulking here, and over there, Pei Ziheng had already reached the lotus pond.
