Chapter 20: Yang San, someone else's child
"Sister He?"
Zhao Qingqing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of He Linwan's eyes, and He Linwan couldn't help but come back to his senses.
Zhao Qingqing smiled apologetically: "Look at me, these words full of copper smell in front of my sister make my sister tired of it, right? ”
He Linwan shook his head and said: "No, I heard my sister talk about the year of the election, and I thought that there is no daughter of school age in my family this year, but Sister Yuan is exactly thirteen this year, right? ”
Zhao Qingqing glanced at He Linwan and smiled sincerely: "My sister is a transparent person, no wonder I feel very attached when I see it." Speaking of Ah Xiang, she doesn't have to enter the palace to run for election. ”
He Linwan blinked: "Oh?"
Zhao Qingqing glanced at Yuan Xiang, and his smile was a little narrow: "The woman who is running for the election needs to have no marriage contract." ”
He Lin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Xiang.
Yuan Xiang's face was slightly red, but he didn't twist and pinch, but said naturally: "Two years ago, my family made me a marriage, doesn't Sister He know?"
Now He Linwan really didn't know, so he smiled embarrassedly: "My mother never mentioned this to me. ”
In the end, he was afraid of Yuan Xiang's face, Zhao Qingqing did not mention her marriage contract again, and He Linwan naturally did not mention it, so the topic was revealed.
Zhao Qingqing started to say something else: "Speaking of this year's general election, there are two of our 'four beauties' in Beijing who want to enter the palace to participate in the election." ”
Yuan Xiang was stunned: "What are the 'four beauties'? What is this saying? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Zhao Qingqing covered her lips and smiled, and said that she was merry: "It's not unusual that you haven't heard of this statement, I heard that this is the pretentious Shilin students who held the Qionghua Banquet last year after the queen held a banquet from among the women of various families. Now it's even spread all over the streets. ”
Yuan Xiang became a little interested when he heard this: "Sister Zhao, don't make fun of me, you can talk to us quickly." ”
Zhao Qingqing teased: "If I say it, don't cry because you are not on the list." ”
Yuan Xiang couldn't help but glared at Zhao Qingqing with a smile: "I don't have other skills, I still have some self-knowledge." Sister, don't sell it. ”
Zhao Qingqing picked up the fan handed over by the maid, and said while gently fanning the wind: "The so-called four beauties, there are naturally four. One of them is the original Mu family's eldest lady Mu Wanping, who is now the wife of the prince of Yasukuni. ”
Yuan Xiang nodded when he heard this: "I thought of this just when you talked about beauty, I saw Miss Mu a few times when she was not married, and she really lived up to her name." What about the other three?"
"The second is Fan Lanruo, the granddaughter of Fan Gelao, who has already paid tribute, I heard that Miss Fan was seriously ill this year, and she followed her grandfather and grandmother back to her hometown to worship her ancestors a while ago, but she should return to Beijing in this year's election. ”
Yuan Xiang still nodded: "Miss Fan is not only a beauty, but also a talented woman, I heard that the queen mother liked to recruit her into the palace to copy scriptures, and this one is well deserved." ”
Zhao Qingqing smiled: "The third is Xue Wanqing, the granddaughter of Xue Shangshu. ”
Yuan Xiang thought about it seriously: "I haven't been in contact with Miss Xue, I've only seen it once from afar, it's not good to evaluate, but her brother Xue Xingyi has long been rumored to have the appearance of Pan An. ”
Zhao Qingqing chuckled lightly with a fan against his lips: "There are a lot of rumors about this Xue Gongzi, it is rumored that he is outstanding in writing, and he wanted to be the champion at the beginning, but when I turned my head and looked at the third place Tanhua, not to mention his age, he also looked quite ...... Unsatisfactory, the saint felt that Tanhualang Tanhualang, ordering such a Tanhualang is really detrimental to my face, and the last glance at Xue Gongzi, who was standing next to him, moved in his heart, and changed the rankings of the two. ”
Yuan Xiang smiled "poof", choked with laughter, and pointed at Zhao Qingqing and said: "Sister Zhao, you are talking nonsense again, the palace test is such a serious matter, how can it be such a child's play as you say? You even dare to deviate from the saint, Sister Zhao, you have such a mouth!"
Zhao Qingqing patted her on the back gently: "The saint is the master, and he will not worry about a little woman like me." Besides, I'm laughing in front of my two sisters, can you still sell me?
He Linwan raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "Sister Zhao said yes." ”
Zhao Qingqing glanced at He Linwan, as if he wanted to say something, but Yuan Xiang couldn't help but urge: "The four beauties Sister Yuan only said three, who is the other one?"
Zhao Qingqing saw that He Linwan's expression was no different from usual, thinking that she was too sensitive just now and saw it wrong, so she withdrew her eyes, but she was a little hesitant about Yuan Xiang's question and did not speak immediately.
Yuan Xiang was puzzled: "What? What can't this fourth beauty say?"
Zhao Qingqing thought for a while and sighed lightly: "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that this beauty is no longer alive." ”
Yuan Xiang was stunned.
Zhao Qingqing said: "This fourth beauty is also extremely extraordinary, she was born in the Yang family of Wuzhou, a century-old family, her grandfather is the great Confucian disciple of my dynasty, the official of the world is the Taishi, the uncle is the head of the household, the father is the imperial history of Zuodu, the grandmother is the daughter of the prime minister of the former dynasty, and the mother is the ...... of the Lu family."
Yuan Xiang couldn't help but whisper when he heard this: "Are you talking about Yang Weizhen, the third lady of the Yang family?"
Zhao Qingqing looked at Yuan Xiang: "Do you know? It's this Miss Yang, it's a pity ......"
Yuan Xiang also sighed: "I naturally know Miss Yang San, how many people in Beijing don't know Miss Yang Jiasan? Miss Yang San and the Fan family girls are both talented and beautiful women. I once saw her at the birthday banquet of the British Duchess, and that time she and Fan Lanruo painted and inscribed poems together, and the two of them made the 'Shoubi Nanshan Picture' for the British Duchess in public, and the painting was completed in a quarter of an hour, and in the end, even the most proficient in calligraphy and painting, the Guozi Priest Master Jiu Chen, was full of praise after seeing it, how many people did they amaze that time?
Yuan Xiang saw that He Linwan had not spoken, thinking that he had been too involved in chatting with Zhao Qingqing and snubbed her, so he wanted to introduce her into the topic.
He Linwan gently picked up a honey-stained plum and put it in his mouth, the sour and astringent taste permeated the taste buds, He Linwan smiled at Yuanxiang: "Well, I'm here." ”
Yuan Xiang got He Linwan's response, and also smiled back at her, and continued: "However, the reason why Miss Yang San stands out among the ladies in the capital is not because of her painting skills. ”
Zhao Qingqing was puzzled: "Oh, I have been in the capital for a short time, I don't know this, but what are the allusions?"
Yuan Xiang took a sip of tea and moistened his lips before saying: "Once Miss Yang San's younger brother somehow entered his eldest uncle's study, accidentally knocked over the vase, and the water splashed out and soaked up a copy of the newly drawn fish scale book of the household department. ”
Zhao Qingqing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, although it is a childish child, but according to today's rigorous style, I am afraid that Yang Shangshu will be punished for the crime of slacking off official duties?"
Yuan Xiang shook his head and said with a smile, "Miss Yang San came to look for her younger brother and happened to see this scene, but she didn't have time to stop it. At that time, Miss Yang San immediately stepped forward and flipped through the fish scale book that had not yet been completely blurred, and then a quarter of an hour later, she copied the few copies of the fish scale book that had been destroyed beyond recognition. ”
Zhao Qingqing said with a smile: "I don't believe this, although I haven't seen the fish scale book, but I also know that it is a booklet that draws and records the acres of land and acres in various places, and the patterns in it are like fish scales, complicated and trivial, and ordinary people feel dazzled at a glance, that Miss Yang has such the ability to draw it after a few glances?"
Yuan Xiang said: "Naturally it is true! Miss Yang was afraid that her younger brother would be punished, so after finishing the drawing, she put the booklet back in place thinking that the god did not know it, and did not want the person who drew this picture to remember that there was a mistake in the booklet on the second day, and went to Yang Shangshu to ask for guilt, and after Yang Shangshu gave the booklet to the person who drew it, the person who drew it was surprised to find that it was not the one he made. Yang Shangshu called all the people in the mansion and asked them one by one, only to know that it was Miss Yang San and the Ninth Young Master of the Yang family who came in yesterday, and the matter of Miss Yang San's copying of the fish scale book only happened. ”
Zhao Qingqing was a little convinced when he saw that Yuan Xiang was so sure: "So Miss Yang San is not only talented and beautiful, but also has the ability to never forget?"
Yuan Xiang sighed: "I don't know if Miss Yang San has the ability to never forget, but I once heard my father say that Master Yang once regretted that this granddaughter is not a man. ”
Zhao Qingqing teased Yuan Xiang and said: "I haven't seen you talk as much as you do today, it seems that you like this Miss Yang very much." ”
Yuan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said jokingly: "Sister Zhao, is there such a person in your life?" In the eyes of everyone around her, she is almost flawless, no matter what you do, the elders like to compare you with her, but you can't compare to her in everything, so you should learn everything from her, it seems that you can only live in the admiration and envy of her all your life?
Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but lean forward and lean back with laughter, and Yuan Xiang stuck out his tongue in a rare mischievous way: "She is such a person to me." After a pause, Yuan Xiang added, "Presumably, she is such a person for many ladies in Beijing, so we are not close to her." ”
He Linwan was stunned for a while, she didn't expect to hear such an evaluation from Yuan Xiang's mouth, in fact, although she had an impression of Yuan Xiang, a little girl, she knew who she was, but she was only able to sit in the right seat.
She didn't know that she had played such a not very likable role in Yuan Xiang's "life", and He Linwan couldn't help but smile bitterly secretly.
"By the way, speaking of this Miss Yang San, I heard that she once had a marriage contract with the Xue Xingyi Xue Gongzi mentioned before?" Zhao Qingqing asked casually.
He Linwan's hand stroking the tea bowl stiffened slightly.
