Chapter 13 Learning the Piano
Zhang Anchu saw that she was thinking again, her brows still furrowed, and he knew that she must have listened to his words again.
It was estimated that she would not have time to trouble her sister-in-law and her in the future, so she let it go, but she still secretly made up her mind that she would not speak so casually in the future and must be more thoughtful.
This banquet was just a family banquet, and no one was invited. It was just a gathering of family members to celebrate Zhang Anxian being crowned the Princess of Chang'an. The banquet broke up soon after.
Zhang Anchu was led back to her yard by her eldest sister. She wanted to talk quietly at night. Zhang Anxian told Madam Hou personally and agreed with Madam Hou, so no one stopped her.
The two of them were lying on the bed, covered with thick quilts, and the charcoal fire in the room was still burning, making it very warm.
"Sister, when you come back this time, your parents will be worried about your marriage, right?" Zhang Anchu faced his sister, his long eyelashes flashing, and his face was sly.
"This is not something you and I can worry about. After this period of work, I will probably have to be busy." Zhang Anxian replied, she had no idea about this. With the title of Princess Chang'an, she will be very sad in the future.
Zhang Anchu knew that what she said was right, but he still asked curiously: "Could it be that... my sister-in-law doesn't have anyone she likes in the palace?"
Zhang Anxian was lost in memories for a while. After coming back to her senses, she said softly: "How can there be someone I like."
"Sister, you are lying! Judging from your appearance, there must be someone. Tell your sister quickly, maybe we can make a match." Zhang Anchu said mischievously.
"No, really not!" Zhang Anxian was dumbfounded, a blush appeared on her face, and she didn't know when she started blushing.
She recalled that when she was in the palace, the second prince was the one who treated her well. Unfortunately, he was already married.
Besides, even if you like her a little bit, you can't give up the honor of the prince's family and become the second prince's concubine. In addition, if you follow the second prince, the risk is very high. His ambition is too big, which makes people discouraged.
No matter what, Zhang Anxian is rational in her heart and will not do such a thing. She can just go back home and marry anyone she wants.
"For people like my eldest sister, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future. My eldest sister should marry the best man!"
"At your age now, why do you think about these things all the time? Is it possible that you want to get married as soon as possible?" Zhang Anxian didn't want her to keep talking about her own affairs, so she joked.
"Hmm..." Zhang Anchu said in a long voice and thought for a while. She didn't know if she wanted to get married. If she did, she would definitely want to make Aunt Bai and her brother live a better life as soon as possible.
"You are actually thinking, it seems you want to get married." Zhang Anxian said with certainty.
"No, I'm just thinking about what will happen after getting married." Zhang Anchu denied it, but now she blushed.
"After you get married? Which prince's backyard do you think you will enter in the future?" Zhang Anxian asked, looking at her with amusement.
"I don't know much about the princes. Just like my sister said, just leave it to fate." Zhang Anchu was a little helpless. He didn't know if the people he would get along with in the future would treat him well.
She is still very confident about her appearance, but, as Zhang Anyi said today, if she likes her because of her good looks, it doesn't count as liking her.
"Yeah, let's leave it to fate." Zhang Anxian suddenly felt sad, wondering if she was thinking of someone.
"If you enter the palace and need help, you can ask the second prince, and he will definitely help you." Zhang Anxian seemed to be talking to himself.
Zhang Anchu seemed to have heard something extraordinary. It was obvious that she was a little sad, so she had to say obediently: "Okay."
The next day, there was another banquet held at home. This time it was to receive congratulations from relatives and friends, and it was very lively.
But Zhang Anchu didn't have time to go. He still had to learn to dance and read, so he stayed in the courtyard and studied hard.
"neat?"
Zhang Anchu raised his head and saw Aunt Bai standing outside the door, thinking that today's banquet should have ended.
"Aunt Bai, why did you bring a piano?" Zhang Anchu hurried forward to take it, but Siyu took it before her with a wink.
Since Zhang Anxian came back, Aunt Bai has understood that her legitimate daughter will not enter the royal family, so her own daughter will definitely enter the royal family. She knows that Zhang Anchu's dancing skills are outstanding, and Teacher Shen often praises them, and she will be able to start dancing soon. .
However, the more this time came, the more uneasy she became. Some people liked dancing, others liked music, and she was not sure what the nature of her daughter's future husband would be.
After thinking about it, I decided to teach Zhang Anchu a little more, maybe he can use it one day in the future.
At this time, she didn't care about her shame anymore, as long as she could help Zhang Anchu.
"Auntie thought about it and felt that you should not only be able to dance, but also understand the music, so she brought the piano over and a few piano scores, all of which were excellent tunes." Aunt Bai held the piano in her arms. When I took out the music score, it was just a few pieces of paper.
Zhang Anchu took the score and took a look at it. It looked like it was newly written, but something seemed wrong.
Aunt Bai saw her brows furrowed and said, "These are all chosen by me, not some extravagant music."
Aunt Bai was afraid that she would dislike her stuff as coming from a brothel, so she explained that these pieces of music were not the same as those from the brothel, but they were good tunes that she had learned and were harmless.
"The one given by Aunt Bai is of course good." Zhang Anchu knew that she was overthinking it and quickly reassured her.
She was still a little happy in her heart. She had wanted to learn the piano for a long time, but there was no way.
"But even if you have the music score, it will be difficult to learn it without anyone to teach you." Zhang Anchu said while holding the music score, wondering if Aunt Bai had any solution.
Aunt Bai understands, but she can't say it or reveal it. She already had a solution before she came.
"I heard Mrs. Hou say at the banquet that the eldest lady is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You can ask her for advice." Aunt Bai approached her and whispered.
Zhang Anchu understood what Aunt Bai meant. It was a good idea, and it would also allow him to get closer to his sister-in-law, so he nodded to answer her.
"But the eldest lady is not in good health. You can't go often. Learn some basics and practice more when you come back. If you don't understand something you don't know, ask again." Aunt Bai was still worried, fearing that Zhang Anchu wouldn't be able to do things and offend people. Bored, he said.
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Anchu nodded heavily, feeling that what she said made sense, and it should be so.
"How is my brother?"
"It's still like that, but lately I don't know what to do in the room and I don't want to come out." Aunt Bai had a headache when she talked about him. After all these years, she still hasn't heard a word from her son, and her behavior has become increasingly crazier.
