Chapter 1021 The Ancient Song

Xun An suggested: "Let's sing. There are some famous ladies here who learn classical dance and ballet. They have received systematic training since they were three or four years old. They have won awards in the world. 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 held back a smile, "but I want to hear you sing, your voice is so nice, so singing should be nice too."

"Of course." She was proud again, raising her fine chin proudly, "I can sing a lot of songs. When I was in the orphanage, every time I sang, many people would gather around to listen. Woolen cloth."

Xun An smiled: "What can you sing?"

She reported several song titles 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 was very different from before, and she had fewer chances to sing. Seeing Xun An's interest at this time, she was very interested and planned to show her a song. What should I sing? Her clear and flowing eyes looked at the lake where lotus leaves were growing slowly in midsummer. In the refreshing fragrance, she suddenly had an idea.

"You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves and He Tiantian..."

She sang softly, an ancient Han Dynasty song. Once, the teacher at the orphanage taught them this poem, but now she composed it into a tune, and it was unexpectedly clear and melodious to the pond of lotus flowers.

Xun An was dumbfounded.

He had already guessed that she sang well, but he didn't expect it to be so good. The girl in front of her was looking at a pool of lotus with her arms around her knees. The breeze gently brushed her crow-blue hair. Her light-colored dress was a little dirty on the gravel floor, but it had a beautiful and swaying style. 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, dazed.

Her song ended with a faint aftertaste. She turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "Doesn't it sound nice?"

"Ah? Hmm!" He came back to his senses and nodded hastily. It sounds nice. It was 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: "It's great! If you take this song to participate in the talent competition, you will definitely become the most talented girl in the audience!" What about those daughters who are good at dancing and playing the piano? ? Which one is as fresh, natural and exciting 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?

But Xia Ling said: "Really? But, it's not just about whether you can be selected as a celebrity in midsummer." Just now Xun An had explained to her the selection rules for celebrities in midsummer, and she also found that she was in front of Pei Jingyu and the others. How ridiculous it is to boast about Haikou. With her background, it is not surprising that she got the last place!

Xun An shrugged: "They 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 soon. Xiaoling, show your skills and let them see who is inferior to whom! Even if you don’t win the title of Midsummer Celebrity, you can’t lose too badly, you have to slap them in the face hard!”

Xia Ling burst out laughing: "Why are you more excited than me?"

Xun An waved his fist in mid-air, his eyes sparkled: "Of course, I decided to help you! People say that it is easy to add flowers to you, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. As long as I give you charcoal in the snow, Director Pei will definitely look at me with admiration. Yes! Then my status in the family will definitely improve!"

Xia Ling laughed again. She didn't know whether Xun An was really innocent or was too deep in the city to actually say these words to her so clearly. However, compared to getting along with those young ladies who hide their knives in their smiles, she prefers this flamboyant young man. No matter what his purpose is, at least he is clearly good for her.

"How are you going to help me?" she asked curiously.

"Come on, come on, come on with your ears..."

The two whispered for a while, Xia Ling laughed softly at his words, the breeze was blowing 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 was lecturing: "It's fine if you adopt a wild child, throw it away after playing for a few days, and I won't say anything about 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 darkly at the distant lotus pond. There, Xiaoling was sitting with a clean and bright young man talking and laughing. That 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 very steady, and he looked away from the lotus pond, "Uncle, it's my own business to adopt Xiaoling, and it's my own business to bring whoever I bring to the flower viewing banquet. You just need to take care of the group. That's all. As for my personal affairs, I won't bother you."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "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 thought of his nephew's last words before he died, holding his hand and saying: "Second uncle... Zi Heng is courageous and capable, but sometimes he is too willful and too young... Please be careful." Help him, help him stabilize the emperor's empire, and..."

Before the nephew finished speaking, he closed his eyes and died suddenly.

But Pei Zhenyuan knew what he wanted to say - take care of 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.
