Xie Pinghuaiâs eyes lit up when he heard Xie Qiaoâs words. âReally? Eldest Sister, donât lie to me!â
âReally.â Xie Qiao smiled kindly.
Xie Pinghuai heaved a sigh of relief. âThatâs great. Iâm used to eating the food that my aunt cooked. My aunt and cousins arenât around, I feel like something is missing. Moreover, Iâm doing this for Xiâerâs sake. Ever since Aunt left, sheâs been so bored that sheâs been learning music. She even got herself first place. Itâs really depressing.â
Learning music, was that something his younger sister could do?
Even the Buddhist music in class did not match his familyâs temperament at all!
It was clear that she was terribly bored.
When Xie Qiao heard that, she asked, âSheâs learning music? Whatâs going on?â
âShe took music class. I heard that she didnât like the main classes she had. When she was free, she went to music class. When she came home, sheâd always babble and sing⦠softly⦠To put it bluntly, I always think it sounds like what the women in the brothel sang⦠Iâve taken a look at it twice. I donât know where Xiâer learned it, but she occasionally had flirtatious movements when she sang.â However, Xie Pinghuai was actually not very concerned about it.
It was just singing. It was not a big deal.
If her sister liked it, then she should do it. It would not make her lose a piece of flesh.
It was just that when she learned that, it was inevitable that she would be criticized by others. However, Xie Xi was not considered old. Usually, she would either sing in the music class or at home. Outsiders did not know about it, so it did not matter.
Xie Qiao could not imagine what her sister would look like when she sang.
âAre you sure itâs not a country song, but⦠the kind in the brothel?â Xie Qiao frowned slightly and paid more attention to it.
âEldest Sister, itâs not like Iâve never been to a brothel. I know what the women in the brothel look like, just that kindâ¦â as Xie Pinghuai spoke, he stretched out his hand and drew a seductive image in the air, then, he tilted his butt and covered half of his face with one hand. He shyly raised his eyebrows and said, âThe songs are all about men, concubines, and lovesickness⦠Arenât those the songs in the brothel?â
Xie Qiao was stunned. âThis wasnât what the music class teaches, right?â
She knew that the music class could be established in the Royal Academy because the songs sung in it could all be considered elegant.
Not to mention the Buddhist music, the rest were also made of poems and songs. The melody was mostly melodious and elegant. It sounded elegant and peaceful, and the songs were mostly about the spring scenery and the snow in the village.
The lyrics were all about the peaceful scenery of the common people, but there was nothing romantic about them.
âLetâs go.â Xie Qiao suddenly stood up, looking very serious.
âWhatâs wrong, Eldest Sister? Didnât you say that youâre not in good health and canât go to Eldest Brother to settle the score?â Xie Pinghuai shouted from behind.
Xie Qiao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. âSettle the score? We canât even beat a single finger of his when the two of us combined. I havenât seen my sister for a long time. Canât I take a look at her?â
Xie Pinghuai rubbed his nose.
He did not understand why his eldest sister got so aggressive out of nowhere.
However⦠Her fierce appearance did not have any deterrent force at all. She was not like that beast, his eldest brother, who would look like he wanted to kill.
Therefore, even though Xie Qiaoâs attitude was not as friendly as before, Xie Pinghuai still followed behind her and boarded the carriage to go home.
When they reached home, it was already past noon.
Therefore, not long after, Xie Xi returned.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as Xie Pinghuai said, the moment Xie Xi returned, she immediately returned to her small courtyard quietly. After a while, she heard the sound of singing in the courtyard. Not only that, Xie Qiao also heard the sound of the pipa..
