Reborn as a petite ex-uncle

Chapter 584 Mouth Kung Fu

The family dinner begins.

Because there were only a few relatives of the Zong family in Jingzhou, and the Zhao family who was close to the Zong family, a total of seven banquet tables were set up.

Zong Lu was at the main table, and as a representative of the family, introduced Su Mi, mother and son to the relatives and friends present.

The relatives of the Zong family already knew that Su Mi was married and had a child outside, and they hadn't seen the other half at the moment, and most of them were considered to be high in EQ, so they didn't ask for the face of Zong Lu's family.

In addition, Xiao Subao was soft and cute, and when he bowed and introduced to everyone, most of them melted away, and he didn't make things difficult for Su Mi's mother and son.

Only Mrs. Du was very meaningful towards Liu Tingzhen:

"Tingzhen, congratulations, you have found such a good granddaughter after you lost it, and you can buy one and get one free. You, you have a good life since you were young, and you can have good things on your head while sitting at home."

When Liu Tingzhen heard that Mrs. Du, a rival in love, congratulated herself, her scalp went numb.

The old rival in love had no good words when he opened his mouth.

The dog will not be able to spit out ivory again.

I have been fighting against myself all my life, and I get weird when I meet.

I'm afraid there's nothing good to say today.

If it wasn't for her being an elder of the patriarchal clan, she had to be invited, and I really didn't want to see her.

Sure enough, Mrs. Du continued:

"However, it's a pity. Look at your Mimi, who was born with a good-looking appearance. If you can grow up in the clan and train well, you will be guaranteed to be the top three local ladies in Jingzhou. She is qualified! It's a pity that she grew up outside and became a single mother in the end. It's so pitiful. The beauty is so unlucky."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Liu Tingzhen's teeth were itchy, she raised her head, maintaining everyone's demeanor, and called Mrs. Du's boudoir name:

"Chaogui, the times are different. There are a lot of divorced people. It's not something to be ashamed of. Why are you looking through the old almanac from hundreds of years ago?"

Mrs. Du chuckled: "You are wrong. No matter what age a woman is, her mother's family and her husband's family always have to take the lead. Seeing that my family is happy, it is different. I have been carefully cultivated since I was a child, and I can play and sing. He graduated from an Ivy League school, and his fiancé is the youngest son of the Jingzhou Ship King, and his wedding is about to be held."

Sitting next to her was a girl who was Mrs. Du's granddaughter Zong Yiren. She was pretty and had an elegant temperament. She was the cousin who told the relatives of the Zong family that Su Mi was a very popular actress just now.

At this moment, Zong Yiren gently tugged at the corner of grandma's clothes, as if she didn't bother to compare her with Su Mi.

She is a dignified family daughter, a descendant of an official, and a daughter who grew up in a commoner family. How can she be compared?

Wouldn't it be worth losing your own worth?

Whenever she could feel proud in front of Liu Tingzhen, Mrs. Du would not let it go, and instead pushed her granddaughter:

"Honey, there happens to be a piano over there, so go play a song for everyone. Let's treat it as a warm place, and help Mrs. Liu to cheer up the fun."

Seeing that grandma had said so, Zong Yiren went over, turned on the piano, and sat down.

The notes flow.

Carefree and fluent.

Come at your fingertips.

During the dinner, occasional approval from several relatives sounded.

Liu Tingzhen snorted softly, and whispered to the maid beside her:

"It's just playing the piano. What's the big deal? Our family recognizes our daughter's family dinner. How can she let her granddaughter show off?"

If her granddaughter had the opportunity to grow up in the clan's parents, she would be many times stronger than Zong Yiren!

That Du Chaogui, decades ago, she couldn't beat her in the competition for men, now seeing that Mimi didn't have the chance to learn so much, it's really shameless to catch such a weak point and step on it hard.

Su Mi heard Liu Tingzhen muttering, and knew that grandma was really angry.

The song is over.

There was a lot of praise during the meeting.

Zong Yiren has long been used to such praises, she was not surprised or thanked, and raised her snow-white neck slightly, like a noble swan.

Mrs. Du glanced at Liu Tingzhen triumphantly: "How do you feel, has my Yiren improved again?"

Liu Tingzhen's face was ugly, and before she could answer, she heard a soft voice beside her:

"It's just a grade-[-] piece. It's still an amateur grade-[-]."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Old Madam Du's complexion changed.

Zong Yiren's expression turned ugly, but she looked at Su Mi more seriously and vigilantly than before.

Unexpectedly, this cousin is not useless, she still knows a little bit.

She never thought of being compared to her cousins ​​who grew up in a grassroots family, so she just played an elementary piano piece.

Just deal with it.

At this moment, she raised her chin slightly: "You can also play the piano? How about you play one too?"

Seeing that Su Mi didn't make a sound, Liu Tingzhen was afraid that she would just say something casually and didn't know how to play the piano at all, so she hurriedly said to her in a low voice:

"Ignore her. She likes to let her children show off in public, but my family doesn't have this style. Learning things is for self-entertainment, not for entertaining others."

Su Mi's heart warmed up, she glanced at grandma, indicating that it was nothing, then said humbly to Zong Yiren:

"I won't make a fool of myself. Since my cousin has been playing the piano since elementary school, she must be better than me. It's just that the piece just now didn't play to my cousin's strength. Why don't my cousin change to another one? I can also study hard."

Zong Yiren saw her humility, which was very useful, and seeing that she dared not come to play, she was sure that she was just a word of mouth.

In fact, at most it is just getting started.

As soon as he came on stage, he probably had to reveal his secrets!

Her tone added a bit of arrogance: "Which one do you want to learn?"

Su Mi thought for a while and said, "Brahms's Piano Concerto No. [-] in B flat major. Any fragment of the second movement is fine."

Zong Yiren sat up straight.

Burshen in B-flat major?

It is recognized as one of the most difficult divine comedies in the piano world.

She wasn't that proficient at all, but now that Su Mi has brought it up, does it mean that she can't play it?

Mrs. Du has already shouted: "Yiren, since your cousin has humbly asked for advice, you can play it to her and let her learn!"

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Zong Yi gritted her teeth as she rushed the duck to the shelf.

That's it.

The relatives present did not have any professionals.

Even if she didn't play that well, no one could tell.

She didn't speak, and her fingertips finally landed on the keys.

Su Mi half-closed her eyes, and after a while, she could hear Zong Yiren's powerlessness.

Can't keep up with the rhythm.

Played a few wrong notes.

Zong Yiren also gradually realized that she could not hold on any longer, and was about to end it quickly to avoid embarrassment, but she heard footsteps behind her.

Taking a look from the corner of the eye, at some time, Su Mi had come over and sat beside her.

Before Zong Yiren could react, the slender fingertips of the woman beside her landed on the black and white piano keys.

Fluent, proficient.

In an instant, the music that was already about to collapse was saved.

The broken and unstable notes became smooth and coherent again.

Zong Yiren looked at Su Mi in shock, her fingers trembling inadvertently while playing together.

She can actually play the piano...

And it's such a difficult song...

This grassroots cousin who has been living outside since she was a child and has never received an elite education is actually more powerful than this serious daughter of Jingzhou who has been carefully cultivated since she was a child! ?
