Chapter 68 Part 2: Conclusion
Her natural talent coupled with having received advice from many experts over the years, Jiang You Yao’s guqin’s skill was not low. People even rumored that in a few years, Jiang You Yao might surpa.s.s Xiao Deyin.
Ji Shuran had a lot of confidence in Jiang You Yao’s guqin’s skill.
“Many of the people coming are from n.o.ble families with meritorious achievements. The scene when you are introduced will be magnificent and unrivalled. In the future, it will be advantageous when looking for a husband.” Ji Shuran calculated.
Jiang You Yao’s cheeks immediately turned scarlet. No idea what she was thinking about, she had a somewhat bashful appearance. She said: “I’m not the only daughter of our Jiang family…….”
“Jiang Yu’e and Jiang Yu Yan should not be mentioned. Jiang Li has the past of attacking her mother and murdering her younger brother,” Ji Shuran spoke coldly: “As long as it is a good family, they would never allow such a woman to enter the door. If seeking for marriage, they would certainly have a plan to some extent and it also won’t be a good match. Jiang Li has only herself to blame. In the future, your father also won’t be able to help her. Furthermore, the more dazzling you appear on the stage tomorrow, the more vulgar she would look. This is the difference between cloud and mud.”
She looked at Jiang You Yao and smiled suddenly: “The n.o.ble daughter of the Jiang family has always been only you.”
“I listen to mother.” said Jiang You Yao.
……
In Fang Fei Garden, Jiang Li was also in the middle of bringing up the exam tomorrow with everyone.
Jiang Jing Rui had again come uninvited. Since Jiang Li got the first position, his face also seemed to have a ray of light. He often came to Fang Fei Garden and found things to talk about. He said: “Tomorrow is music, this time you are done for. What if you first learn some of the most common ones? It’s fine as long as you don’t make a fool of yourself in public.”
Tong’er poured tea from the side while feeling deeply worried. Before, when Jiang Li was seven years old, she was too young and had only received instructions not for long, no need to even mention any string instruments. Afterwards, she was banished to Mount Qingcheng. Tong’er know those days were full of never ending work. Without mentioning playing any kind of string instruments, where would Jiang Li find a teacher to teach her to play the guqin? Jiang Li basically couldn’t play the qin. Letting a person who couldn’t play the guqin to take the music exam, Tong’er could only imagine the scene at that time and was so anxious she couldn’t say a word.
Jiang Li asked: “Are you also going?”
“Of course!” Jiang Jing Rui replied without the slightest hesitation. “Every year, many people come to see the later three exams. All the ladies from Ming Yi Hall are beautiful and those wealthy sons are going to get a wife in the future. So they seize this opportunity to take a good look. The more magnificent and popular they are in the examinations, there would be more people seeking marriage in the coming year.”
Jiang Jing Rui spoke casually and matter of factly, saying whatever was in his mind. He also said: “Therefore, if you wish to get married, you must work well and hard. If you do not wish to marry, just playing around casually will be fine.”
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Li laughed softly: “Even if I topped the three exams and there’s no other best in the examination, when the day arrives, n.o.body would take any interest.”
Tong’er this servant girl, plus Jiang Jing Rui looked blankly at her.
Jiang Li said: “Who wants to marry someone who attacked the mother and killed the brother?”
Her voice was relaxed without any self-mockery or distress. On the contrary, it was as if she was talking about good matters.
This was of course a good thing. Jiang Li was very happy inside. In this way, she could seize the limelight without any scruples.
