Chapter 477
After being entertained by Su Qingping, everyone took their seats in the flower hall in Bibo Xuan. After a while, the maids of Hou's mansion served melon, fruit, tea, and dessert.
After everyone gave Su Qingping a birthday present, Su Qingping made a gesture to Liu Rong, and then heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the lake, and the melodious music floated in the wind, like a dream.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a small boat swaying towards Bi Bo, and the music was coming from the boat.
After the boat docked, a girl with a pipa and a little girl got off the boat.
The girl was wearing a pink Luo shirt, emerald green smoky gauze scattered flower skirt, and one or two silver plum blossoms inlaid on her temples. When she got close to Su Qingping, she bowed down Tingting: "I have met Mrs. Shizi, I wish Mrs. a happy birthday and youth. forever."
Su Qingping smiled and said, "Gu Aunt Hong is exempted from the ceremony." Then she introduced to everyone, "This is Aunt Hong, the most famous female storyteller in the ancient and modern buildings. The prince specially invited her here for me." A faint red glow appeared on his face.
Nangong Lin said with a charming smile, "Oh, my cousin's uncle really has the heart to invite such a beautiful storyteller to celebrate my cousin's birthday."
Su Qingping said with a smile: "Well, he does have a heart."
Seeing this, Nangong Lin curled her lips in annoyance.
Aunt Hong held a pipa in her arms, and said to Nangong Yue a few blessings: "I have met a few young masters and girls." After seeing the ceremony, she said, "Then now, Aunt Hong will be the storyteller for several of them, I don't know Mrs. What do you think?" She looked at Su Qingping as if asking.
Su Qingping's eyes fell on Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao. They were obviously not interested in listening to the story. They were already absent-minded and looked in the direction of the pond from time to time. She thought about it for a while, and deliberately asked Mrs Gu: "Sister-in-law Sibiao, what do you think about starting to listen to the book now?"
Gu Shi naturally agreed quickly, but Nangong Hao protested: "Cousin Ping, listening to the book is too boring, can I go outside and have a look?" He looked at Nangong Xin, trying to seek his approval, " Second brother, don't you think so?"
Nangong Xin nodded honestly.
Su Qingping smiled slightly and suggested with a good temper: "Brother Xin, Brother Hao, if you don't want to hear the story, why don't you go to the courtyard and put the paper kite for a while!"
As soon as they heard Zhi Yuan, Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao's eyes lit up and they were eager to try.
Su Qingping hurriedly ordered her servants to fetch two paper kites, one from an eagle and the other from a dragonfly.
Both Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao looked at Gu Shi and Nangong Sheng eagerly. Before going out, they were told to listen to Gu Shi and Nangong Sheng in everything, otherwise they would not even think about going out to play.
Gu said with a smile: "Brother Xin, Brother Hao, since cousin is very kind, you can go play."
"But don't get too close to the pond!" Nangong Sheng warned again. The last time Su Qingping fell into the water at the residence of the long princess in Yuncheng, it had already caused everyone to leave in good spirits and return in disappointment. Today, since grandmother and mother handed over his younger brothers and sisters to him, he naturally had to be careful about their safety.
"Yes, auntie, big brother!" Nangong Xin and Nangong Hao responded in unison, each picked up a paper kite and looked at it carefully.
"Let's go together." Nangong Yue got up a little uneasy, but was gently pressed back by Su Qingping.
"Sister Yue," Su Qingping's eyes flashed and she smiled tenderly, "Brother Xin and Brother Hao are just going to put the paper kites away! What's there to worry about..."
"Yeah!" Nangong Lin pouted in agreement, "Third sister, they are just going to put a paper kite, what can happen? If you are really worried, let the second brother and brother Hao be in the courtyard of Biboxuan. Let's play, and send a few more maids to follow."
