Chapter 22 Teenager's Mind
Outside Feng Yan's courtyard, not far from the rockery, Feng Yishu and Feng Xiaoqi were lying together, holding their breath and staring at Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan's courtyard.
Feng Yishu held his chin, "I didn't turn off the lights so late and I was still playing the piano there...what are they doing?"
"Have you ever seen a peacock who is courting?" Feng Xiaoqi asked.
Feng Yishu didn't understand, "What do you want to say..."
"Wei Xingzhen is now a peacock who only prays for a couple, and she is opening her tail at her sister in different ways." Feng Xiaoqi said softly, "To be honest, you should learn a little of this kind of ability, Brother Fifth."
"What's wrong with being able to play the piano? Lord Yin can play it," Feng Yishu frowned. "...I've been childhood sweethearts for so many years, and my sister has changed her mind now?"
"...If what you said before was true, Sister Ah will definitely not give Yin Shiyun a second chance."
Feng Yishu didn't react at once, "What did I say?"
"It was because my sister asked Yin Shiyun to take her out of Chang'an three years ago, but Yin Shiyun retreated in the face of trouble."
Feng Yishu understood, "You said this... but what's wrong with this? I think my sister is also young, and she wants to elope when she is hot. What's wrong with Chang'an City? Lord Yin is the legitimate son of the Grand Master, and his future is unlimited - if she really elopes with her sister at that time, that would be bad!"
"Brother, you are really a piece of wood in this regard." Feng Xiaoqi sighed, "You guys should do things, otherwise you don't agree. If you agree, you can't do it. It's all scams. Do you understand?"
Feng Yishu frowned, "What are they all?"
"It's all a scumbag." Feng Xiaoqi reached out and tried to wipe his neck. "Anyway, Yin Shiyun's stock must be out of the way, just believe me."
Feng Yishu's eyes widened and his head was full of question marks, "... Then do you agree to help me match them?"
Feng Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, "I didn't agree to help match it up! I just think there is something wrong with this Wei Xingzhen, so I came to help you."
“What’s the problem?”
"I can't say it at once," Feng Xiaoqi tilted his head and thought, "Anyway, when I sent my sister back to the yard in the evening, this person looked at me with a strange look, and it seemed that he didn't like me very much--no, it was better to be wary of me than to dislike me."
"???" Feng Yishu was even more puzzled, "It's enough that he likes Sister, why do you like you?"
"This is not the point. The point is: I am so harmless, why is he wary of me when I see me?" Feng Xiaoqi's eyebrows frowned, "You know, in this family, my sister and I have the best relationship. If he has no ghost in his heart, why should he be wary of me?"
Feng Yishu leaned closer, "... Then what do you think is he?"
Feng Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's hard to say... But I see, he probably wants to do that to his sister. pua.
“…speak human words.”
Feng Xiaoqi lowered his voice, "You think, Sister is not out of the gate and does not step into the two gates. She has no friends in Chang'an or Luoyang. The only person she can rely on is us. Wei Xingzhen is wary of us for no reason. Maybe she just wants to differentiate our relationship with Sister, so as to completely isolate her - so that he can control Sister."
"...But what is the use of his control of Sister?"
"You forgot! Wei Xingzhen is the first husband of Sister. If Sister passes twenty-four and fails to defeat her husband, they will be separated. But if he controls Sister, then he will have the final say at that time!"
"... Come on, sister is not that easy to control." Feng Yishu sighed, "You have never experienced her actually getting angry-"
"Hey, you don't understand... Mental control is divided into steps. If Wei Xingzhen is really good at this, then according to the situation of Sister, she will be very dangerous."
Feng Yishu's brows frowned and remembered the last time he had experienced at the Taiwei Mansion. Although he was still very annoyed when he thought about it, Wei Xingzhen seemed to be showing kindness to him at that time.
"Forget it..." Feng Yishu didn't plan to argue anything again, "I don't think he is a good person anyway."
Before he finished speaking, the harmony between the pipa and the piccolo came from Feng Yan's courtyard in the distance, and both of them were stunned.
"Ah..." Feng Xiaoqi took a deep breath when he heard this, and couldn't help but lean back slightly, "Sister hasn't touched the pipa for at least three years, right? Wei Xingzhen... is that too good?"
Feng Yishu clenched his fists, "Now the second, third and sixth brothers are all in Chang'an - sister is the only one! Xiaoqi, what do you think next?"
Feng Xiaoqi bit her nails and pondered. After a while, she finally made up her mind.
"Don't Yin Shiyun want to see Sister?" Feng Xiaoqi said softly, "No matter what Sister's attitude towards him, we can confirm now that he is a person who is sincerely good to Sister. This relationship may help you when it is critical. Tomorrow you go to Yin Shiyun, I will go to Wei Mansion to bring Sister out, and then let them meet."
"Sure, that's it!"
Feng Yishu and Feng Xiaoqi clapped tacitly.
"For the happiness of my sister!"
...
The next morning, it was dawn, and Feng Yan heard someone calling her name in a daze.
Feng Yan had a fight with her eyelids and barely opened her eyes. Seeing that Wei Xingzhen had already changed into her official uniform and was sitting on a chair not far away wearing boots.
Feng Yan looked around and found herself lying on the couch on the first floor wearing last night's clothes.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Did I fall asleep first last night?"
Wei Xingzhen nodded, "You said you would have to rest for a while when you were tired of playing, but then you fell asleep after putting on the pipa."
Feng Yan lowered her head, "...Thank you."
Wei Xingzhen put on her boots [new www.xxbiquge.xyz] and stood up and walked two steps, "Get up, I'll wait for you in the yard."
Feng Yan nodded.
After Wei Xingzhen left, Feng Yan quietly went to the ground - the tea on the tea table was cold last night, and it was too late to drink the tea after being left so blank all night.
On the zither table next to it, the guqin was gone.
I think... it must be that Wei Xingzhen has put it away.
Feng Yan raised her eyes and looked at the pipa that had been hung back on the wall.
The ivory white peony carving on the head of the pulpit is slightly yellow, and the flowers have a light gray dirt. Although people have taken it down and wiped it diligently over the years, the color of these dusty falls has become part of the carving like the aging ivory yellow.
Feng Yan carefully took it down again.
When she was twelve years old, she took the pipa from Yin Shiyun. At that time, the two families liked to go to the mountains to escape the summer heat. Every time they entered the mountains, Yin Shiyun always carried his Fuxi guqin on his back.
In the mountain stream on a summer night, Yin Shiyun taught her to play the piano, and soon the two of them could play some simple music together.
As insects and birds sing, the two children are singing and playing with the piano.
In Feng Yan's lonely youth, this was one of the few times that could withstand memories.
Later, Yin Shiyun heard that Feng Yan had learned the pipa since she was a child. After going down the mountain, she personally ordered the piano from the best craftsmen in Chang'an City as a gift for Feng Yan's twelfth birthday.
How many nights have passed by alone, Feng Yan spent time alone holding the piano.
In the past three years, Feng Yan has never touched it again, but she is reluctant to throw it away and just hang it there.
Maybe it's waiting.
But what are you waiting for?
