Chapter 73 - The zither’s music could enhance one’s pleasure and his aura of elegance
In the afternoon, Wen Xinya was reading in her room. The more she tried to absorb the classical Chinese words, the more frustrated she became. She threw the book on the table and tossed in her bed. After a while, she reluctantly picked up the book and started reading again. But somehow, she just could not calm her frustration.
Wen Xinya was cuddling her blanket and tossed on the bed for some time. Suddenly, she heard classical music from a distance away. The soothing music immediately swept away all her frustration.
Wen Xinya put on her shoes, ran to the courtyard, and saw Si Yiyan playing the Chinese zither under the sycamore tree.
The zither was placed under the sycamore tree by Wen Xinya. She even joked with Grampy that the sycamore was an elegant object, and playing the zither by the sycamore was the greatest pleasure of all! Grampy had specially ordered the servants to shift the marble table and chairs from under the sycamore tree to that of the viburnum tree. The sycamore tree became her favorite spot for practicing the zither.
Though Grampy had mentioned that Si Yiyan excelled in calligraphy and chess, she had never expected that he could also play the zither so well. Wen Xinya felt defeated for a moment.
Si Yiyan belonged to a unique type of human beings who were born to defeat the masses.
As the song came to an end, Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan with sarcasm in her eyes. “There’s an ancient saying that the zither’s music could enhance one’s pleasure and his aura of elegance. Young Master Si is already a distinguished gentleman, you don’t seem to need to enhance your aura of elegance further, do you?”
