The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 29

Chapter 29

“It hurts, please be gentler!” Shen Xian complained, Lan Yuan was too strong just now.

“Be patient, you’ll be fine in a while.” Lan Yuan comforted Shen Xian.

Finally, after a long time, Lan Yuan stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands clean with a towel, and put down the clothes that Shen Xian had lifted up.

“Give me the other leg.” Lan Yuan continued to apply safflower oil on his hands and asked Shen Xian to put his thigh on his lap.

She had just knelt in the ancestral hall for two hours, and half of Shen Xian’s legs were almost useless. Lan Yuan applied medicine to her, but she kept complaining that it hurt.

When it came to the second leg, Lan Yuan had gained experience and the movements would not cause any particular pain.

Chen Xian’s calves were straight and white, and Lan Yuan’s eyes would tilt there from time to time. If she could, she would really touch them.

“Don’t your legs hurt?” Shen Xian asked.

“I’m used to it.” Lan Yuan blurted out.

Shen Xian’s heart was pricked by these careless words. She had never known that Lan Yuan had suffered like this. Two hours had almost made her knees crippled. It was hard to imagine how Lan Yuan, who had been punished since she was five or six years old, could survive.

“If your mother punishes you from now on, I will help you reason.” Shen Xian clenched his fists.

Lan Yuan laughed out loud: “Forget it, you will only suffer a loss when the time comes.” Just have this intention, but don’t put it into practice.

“I’m not afraid.” Shen Xian raised his head.

“I’m afraid, afraid that you will be bullied.” Lan Yuan wiped her hands and arranged Chen Xian’s clothes.

“Are you still going to sort out the list tonight?” Chen Xian asked.

Lan Yuan nodded.

“I’ll accompany you.” Shen Xian was reluctant to let Lan Yuan stay up all night alone.

“I can do it myself.” Lan Yuan was reluctant to let Shen Xian spend time here.

“I won’t leave.” Shen Xian begged in vain.

Lan Yuan had no choice but to let people stay. They had a simple dinner together and started to sort out the list.

“Are there any extra brushes?” Shen Xian asked.

“Can you also calligraphy with calligraphy?” Lan Yuan was surprised.

Shen Xian said modestly: “I know a little bit.”

Lan Yuan brought a blank sheet of paper and planned to see Chen Xian’s skills. Shen Xian simply wrote the word “Lanyuan”, which showed that he had seen the rules and he knew he was someone who had practiced it.

“My father likes calligraphy, and I practiced it with him.” Shen Xian explained, taking a piece of red paper from Lan Yuan in his hand, intending to help her organize it together.

“You are responsible for the guests at the tenth table. These are the guests at the tenth table.” Lan Yuan pointed out to Shen Xian and only asked her to be responsible for a small part of the work, not wanting her to be too tired.

“Why do you Orientals like red so much?” Shen Xian kept talking to Lan Yuan.

“Because it’s festive and auspicious.” Lan Yuan wrote quickly in her hand.

“I like white, and I will always decorate it in white when I get married.” Shen Xian said casually.

“Western-style wedding?” Lan Yuan has only heard of it, but has never actually seen it.

“Yes.” Chen Xian nodded.

Lan Yuan imagined how Shen Xian would look when she got married in the future. She would definitely look ten times more beautiful in a wedding dress than ordinary people, but she just didn’t know who could be so lucky.Then Lan Yuan thought about the smell of perfume on Shen Xian’s body. What is the relationship between Shen Xian and the sister in Nanjing?

The flickering candlelight dazzled Lan Yuan’s eyes. She was already worried and distressed because of the concern of Shen Xian and the sister in Nanjing. In addition, she was tired from morning to night, so she fell asleep on the table without knowing it.

Chen Xian noticed that Lan Yuan had dozed off, so he smiled helplessly, took her back to bed, and continued to sort out the guest list, otherwise Lan Yuan would still be scolded tomorrow morning.

Lan Yuan opened her eyes again, the sky was almost bright, and she remembered that the guest list had not yet been sorted out, so she hurriedly got up.

Running to the desk, Lan Yuan found a thick stack of red paper filled with lists of names neatly coded. After checking, he found that there were no mistakes.

Next to a stack of red paper, there is a folded white paper.

After opening it, Lan Yuan laughed happily, her heartfelt happiness could not be concealed. She looked at the piece of paper over and over again, looking over it, and she felt happy no matter how she looked at it.

The white paper was written by Chen Xian. Last night she only wrote the word “Lanyuan”. After sorting out the guest list, she felt that the two words were too monotonous, so she added the word “Chen Xian” next to the word “Lanyuan”, which made it perfect.

Shen Lan

The square regular script is particularly beautiful!

Holding the list in hand, Lan Yuan hurriedly went to pay her respects to her mother.

Although Mrs. Lan realized that it was not written by her own hand, she was not angry at all. Instead, she praised Shen Xian for his elegant handwriting. She thought that Shen Xian was a low-ranking person, but she didn’t expect that Shen Xian had read and written calligraphy.

Lan Yuan chose to ignore the derogatory words in her mother’s words and chose the pleasant ones to listen to.

After a few days of busy work, I finally got everything done before the wedding.

Ten miles of red makeup, Lan Zhi’s wedding day, half of Yangzhou city was lively.

Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan are face-loving people, and the banquet was very grand.

Lan Yuan also felt that Lan Zhi was very impressive today, unlike his usual frivolous appearance.

Although there was some grudge between him and Su Wan, Lan Yuan still went to tell her brother yesterday to love and respect her future sister-in-law.

As both women, she still hopes that Su Wan can be happy.

Lan Zhi dismounted and took Su Wan out of the sedan chair. Su Wan, decorated with a phoenix crown and harem, was much more beautiful than usual.

But Lan Yuan felt that she was still not as beautiful as Shen Xian, who was standing with Aunt Li at the moment and watching the wedding procession. Su Wan still needed external decoration, and Shen Xian’s appearance would only eclipse even her pearls and hairpins, making her feel inferior.

However, Shen Xian probably wouldn’t wear red when getting married. It should be a Western wedding dress. Lan Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at herself as to why she thought so much about it. She didn’t know how to marry herself.

Originally, Mrs. Lan repeatedly emphasized that Shen Xian was not allowed to come to the church today, but Shen Xian couldn’t bear it and begged Lan Yuan that she wanted to see a traditional Chinese wedding, so Lan Yuan became bold –

She arranged someone next to Aunt Li. Her mother had to greet guests today and had no time to care whether Shen Xian came or not.

Moreover, her mother was so concerned with saving face that even when she saw Shen Xian, she would not dare to trouble her on her big day so that outsiders could laugh at her. At most, she would be punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall in private.

In short, Lan Yuan put Shen Xian’s happiness and demands first this time.

After bowing to Heaven and Earth and Gaotang, as well as the husband and wife bowing, Su Wan was taken to the wedding room, led by Lan Yuan, while her parents-in-law and Lan Zhi were expected to accompany the guests.

Shen Xian also took the opportunity to come to Lan Yuan and waited for her outside the wedding room.

“Am I beautiful?” Su Wan opened her hijab and asked Lan Yuan.

“It’s beautiful.” Lan Yuan said calmly.

“Do you think your brother will like it?” Su Wan was very nervous as a bride for the first time.

“Brother has always liked you, you two are childhood sweethearts.” Lan Yuan deliberately forced a smile.

“A Yuan, you are eighteen years old, why are you so disconnected from me? I watched you grow up.” Su Wan and Lan Zhi were childhood sweethearts, and Lan Yuan was her childhood sweetheart. However, this sister was cold to everyone, and she had no choice in etiquette, but she was not affectionate.

“Anyway, I have always regarded Sister Su Wan as my real sister.” Lan Yuan couldn’t think of anything nicer to say.

“You look uglier when you laugh than when you cry.” Su Wan squeezed Lan Yuan’s hand and laughed.

“You have reached the age to get married. I heard from my mother-in-law that you are having an affair with Young Master Li. I will introduce you to him another day.” Su Wan said.

“Sister-in-law is worried.” Lan Yuan pushed Su Wan’s hand away. Blind date was more uncomfortable than death.

The sentence “sister-in-law” made Su Wan smile from ear to ear. She was only happy and didn’t notice the sadness on Lan Yuan’s face.

“I have to do other things, sister-in-law, please stay by yourself for a while.” Lan Yuan came up with an excuse.

“Okay!” Su Wan nodded, still immersed in the joy of Lan Yuan calling her sister-in-law.

Lan Yuan retreated from the room and saw Chen Xian standing in the corner with a glance.

The two of them knew that this was not a place for gossiping. If Su Wan heard Shen Xian’s voice, they might cause trouble again.

Looking at each other speechlessly, they cooperated tacitly, and they came to a place ten meters away from the wedding room – a garden in Lanzhi Courtyard, before they dared to speak loudly.

“You are even more beautiful than the bride today, you are the most beautiful in the whole room.” Shen Xian praised sincerely.

Lan Yuan dressed up today. Her clothes were much more colorful than usual. This red and white dress complemented her beauty very well.

On the big day, Lan Yuan didn’t wear too plain clothes, her makeup was brighter than usual, and her hair was carefully combed and styled, of course, in order not to embarrass the Lan family in front of all her relatives and friends.

Although she was aware of her own beauty, Lan Yuan felt that she did not dare to take it seriously when she heard Shen Xian’s praise: “Teacher Shen is overly praised. On this special day, I have to say that the bride is the most beautiful.”

“She is not my bride!” Shen Xian pouted, why should he praise Su Wana!

“Look at what you said. Those who didn’t know it thought I was your bride.” Lan Yuan joked. After saying this, she realized how inappropriate the words were and quickly covered her mouth.

When Shen Xian heard this, he couldn’t help but blush. He really longed for Lan Yuan to become his bride.

But Shen Xian didn’t dare to admit it, so he quickly changed the subject and took out a small box from his pocket: “This is for you!”

Lan Yuan also pretended that she didn’t say anything just now and was just talking nonsense. She took the box from Shen Xian and asked, “What is this?”

“You’ll know when you open it.” Shen Xian raised his eyebrows.

Lan Yuan opened the box and found a silver bracelet: “Is this for me?”

Chen Xian nodded to acknowledge, “You can try it with me.”

Lan Yuan looked at the necklace carefully. It was smooth and had no unnecessary carvings. Only the two symbols “LY” were engraved on the inside. “Did you spend a lot of money?”

Although the money was not very expensive, Lan Yuan knew that Shen Xian’s salary was not high, so he still didn’t want her to spend money.

“Don’t worry, it just cost a little processing fee. I had the silver material a long time ago.” Shen Xian told the truth.

After returning from Nanjing, she had always wanted to give Lan Yuan a special gift.

Although this bracelet is made of ordinary silver, it also has a history——

Shen Xian participated in a piano competition during his freshman year and won the first prize. The silver material was removed from that medal.

In the past, Shen Xian felt that music was everything to her, but now Lan Yuan and music together form her spiritual support. Lan Yuan’s existence is even higher than music, so she cut off her medal to make this bracelet.
