"This humble Xi Yan has met the young masters!" Xi Yan bowed again to the distinguished gentlemen outside, then took her seat and placed the zither on the stand.
"Miss Xi Yan, no need for formalities. I have long heard of your extraordinary skills in playing the zither, as well as your attainments in painting and calligraphy. May I have the honor of requesting a piece from you today?"
Yu Ting greatly admired Miss Xi Yan, having watched her intently from the moment she arrived until she was seated behind the silk screen.
Huang Junheng, naturally eager to hear the beautiful music, straightened up and chimed in, "I recently invited Miss to a banquet, but unfortunately, you were unavailable. Today, you must play at least two pieces for us."
Min Feng had seen her once at a poetry meeting from afar, where officials' sons were abundant, making it impossible for him to get closer even if he wished.
