Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhenguo Mansion is located on Dongxin Street in the capital, and Dingfu Street, where Chengfu is located, is separated by a whole imperial city, and the distance is not ordinarily far.

Because Mrs. Cheng was feeling hot and unwell two days ago, she didn't accompany her to the Zhenguo Mansion on this day, and Young Master Cheng had official business, and Miss Cheng was married, so this time the Miss Cheng Mansion was only accompanied by the second young master and the third young master.

The two young masters were accompanied by horseback, and the four young ladies were in two carriages.

Shi Lang, the cousin of the Shi family, went out early in the morning to complain.

Because of the distance, the young masters and young ladies of this schedule house all went out early. But in the end, it was too far, and when I arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, it was already three o'clock, not too early and not too late.

When they arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, the two young masters went straight to visit the Zhenguo Gong, and the young lady's carriage entered the mansion from the West Corner Gate, and then turned around for a while before stopping in front of a hanging flower gate, and the four young ladies got off the car with the maids, and immediately there were more than a dozen sturdy servants, carrying two green mantle sedan chairs forward.

Liu Shuangli is a maid, and she is not qualified to sit in a sedan chair, so she can only walk with Shi Qiong's sedan chair with the peach and willow green.

In this way, they walked for more than a quarter of an hour, until Liu Shuangli was numb to the extremely magnificent roofs and beams they had seen along the way, and they stopped in front of the gate of the first courtyard.

A tall and elderly lady was waiting in front of the door with a few little girls. The four young ladies got off the sedan chair, and the leading big girl led the little girl to bow on her knees, and said with a smile: "The cousins are here, the old lady just asked, saying that the ladies of Chengfu have not arrived yet, and they are anxious to let the slaves come out to ask, but it happened to arrive." Please, ladies and ladies are waiting inside. ”

said that they were in a hurry and polite, but they had already arrived outside the courtyard gate, and some people reported inside, but none of the ladies and ladies inside came out to greet them.

The four young ladies could only lead their respective maids, followed the big maid of the town's mansion into the door, passed through the hall, came to the Zhenghua Hall, and then turned the screen, and then saw a room of ladies and misses.

They were all sitting upright on the kang chairs, and when they came in, only a few young ladies sitting at the end stood up to greet them.

They first bowed and said hello, introduced each other, and then sat down one by one.

The old lady of Zhenguo, who was sitting in the first place, showed a happy smile, but only beckoned to Miss Cheng Er, who was out of the house: "Ying'er, come here, let grandmother see if she has grown tall." ”

Cheng Mengying unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth when she heard the call, walked quickly in front of the old lady of Zhenguo, knelt down on her knees, and shouted coquettishly: "Grandmother." ”

The old lady happily hugged Cheng Mengying: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my Ying'er is getting more and more beautiful." ”

The two grandparents kissed each other, asked about Mrs. Cheng's condition, knew that there was no big problem, put their hearts at ease, and said goodbye to each other, and threw aside the other three young ladies who had just arrived for a while.

The two concubines, Miss Cheng, have been ignored by their mother-in-law since they were children, and they have long been accustomed to this situation, and they have been ignored, and they have no expressions and feelings, so they sit obediently and automatically act as the background.

Only Shi Qiong is different, she is a descendant, and she is the only daughter in the Shi family's peers, she has been spoiled since she was a child, she has never been so neglected when she grows so big, although her temperament has been restrained after coming to Beijing, she is arrogant after all, seeing that people have been all as if she did not exist since she was introduced, after sitting patiently for a while, she was a little restless, stretched her neck to look left and right, and the unhappy look was clearly written on her face.

Seeing this, the Duchess of Zhenguo, who was sitting at the front of the head, started a circle and asked Shi Qiong about the customs of Xi'an.

Shi Qiong replied a few words, and several ladies and ladies became interested and joined in the inquiry.

"Didn't you say that the cousin of the Shi family still has a chivalrous girl by her side as a maid, I don't know which one?" asked a lady with a smile.

As soon as Shi Qiong heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, she came to Beijing to chase her lover, and secondly, to please Qiaoqiao to show her identity. But every time people talk about her, they only say that she knows martial arts, and she praises her chivalrous demeanor on the surface, and she was happy to hear it at first, but no matter how stupid she is, she knows what others mean, just when she is a big lady who can play three or two tricks, rude and incompetent, and she looks down on her at all in her bones.

It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the founding ancestor was born in the rivers and lakes, but after so many years, he has already gotten rid of the martial style at the beginning of the founding of the country. Nowadays, whether it is a big family or a noble prince, most of the people who are powerful are literati and scholars, and those who advocate martial arts and ink are also admired. Practicing martial arts, it is good to say that it is to strengthen the body, chic and free, if it is not good, it is barbaric and rude, and even if it is forbidden by martial arts, it is a great disrespectful crime.

At this moment, everyone said that they wanted to see the chivalrous woman, so what could it be?

Even if he was unhappy, Shi Qiong still pointed out Liu Shuangli.

Liu Shuangli was named, and he wanted to stand up and salute the lady who was seated.

No matter how helpless you are, you have to be polite and thoughtful.

Shi Qiong's unhappiness was obviously written on his face, but Liu Shuangli's unhappiness was completely suppressed in his heart, but on the surface, he was calm and calm.

Such a down-and-out generosity made all the ladies and ladies excited, and within a few words, someone asked Liu Shuangli to practice martial arts in public and watch.

Liu Shuangli couldn't refuse, but she didn't want to play tricks with her master's martial arts, so she only borrowed a sealed long sword from Fuzhong and picked up some of the juggling skills she saw on the street when she was wandering alone.

Because of her own extraordinary martial arts, the ladies and ladies present here do not know anything at all, including Miss Shi Qiong, who has studied martial arts and only learned the epidermis. Therefore, Liu Shuangli has no routines in practice, as long as the tricks are not disconnected, there is nothing to do at all, and no one sees anything wrong.

A juggling performance, don't watch anything, the picture is a fresh and lively, martial arts people are casual, people who watch are novel, but there is nothing to do.

When Liu Shuangli played, the guests invited by the Zhenguo Mansion also arrived.

Some people heard that Shi Qiong also knew martial arts, so they unceremoniously asked Shi Qiong to perform a play, and even laughed and asked Shi Qiong to have a fight with her girl.

was so angry that Shi Qiong clenched her teeth, if it weren't for the fact that she had always been healthy and had enough qi and blood, she would have been unable to stand it and fell to the ground. And Cheng Mengying, the granddaughter of the old lady of Zhenguo, just smiled and watched from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.

Liu Shuangli looked carefully at the woman who said that she wanted Shi Qiong to practice at the beginning, and saw that it was a young woman who was about the same age as herself, wearing a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan and a green step, wearing an openwork gold collar around her neck, and a phoenix-shaped palace silk and butterfly jade pendant on her skirt, wearing a long red striped cotton robe, covered with a light gold silk yarn half-sleeve, bright and delicate, not luxurious and rich, and the bottom was a Xuejuan plain skirt, but it was covered with a hibiscus gauze skirt embroidered with black leaves and Zhurui, which was bright and beautiful.

The young woman is slender, with a smile at the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, and she is arrogant and natural.

Although she sat behind the head, none of the ladies and ladies sitting with her were as bright, noble, or imposing as her. Although she was young, the elders in the seat, including the old lady and the lady of Zhenguo, seemed to be looking at her face and acting and talking, faintly with her as the leader.

"Miss Biao has just arrived in the capital, and it is reasonable that she is not accustomed to the water and soil, and she is unwell for a while. It was a guest lady who had been silent for a long time to explain.

"Aren't all the heroines and heroines of the rivers and lakes going south and north, how can there be a saying that they are not accustomed to the water and soil. The teasing words are still laughing.

Someone immediately ate and said with a smile: "Xu is central capital has changed too much compared with other provinces, no matter how good Miss Biao's health is, she can't take care of it for a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall continued to laugh, Shi Qiong's shoulders shook and trembled, her face turned blue, and the whole person was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"The princess may not know," said another guest lady with a smile, "I wonder what kind of people in our capital don't have, what kind of people won't come, that is, what kind of people have, and any situation can appear." Let's just say that the fifth uncle of my eldest daughter's husband's family finally returned to Beijing after finishing an errand and brought back a few girls and daughters-in-law who can play guns and swords. I heard that she has been helping her fifth uncle to find out the news outside for a long time, and she has always been in good health, but as soon as she returned to the house, she fell ill twice. When it comes to our capital, everyone thinks about it, but it may not be a question of good or bad health. ”

After speaking, there was a joke in the hall for a while, most of the people present were smart people, and they couldn't hear what kind of words they were saying, at this time, everyone was smiling, looking at Shi Qiong with a strange face, and no one spoke out for her.

After Liu Shuangli finished his martial arts, he stood in the corner with his head down, and after listening to this, he looked at this arrogant young woman carefully, and she immediately knew who this person was.

In this Zhenguo Mansion, the only one who can be called a princess is the second princess who just got married last month and was born by the Queen Mother, Qin Siyang's second sister, and Qin Sihua, who was just given the title of Princess Changle.

I saw Qin Sihua laughing happily, the corners of his eyes curled even more, and he looked at the lady and asked with a smile: "Isn't the husband's family of the eldest daughter of the lady the Marquis of Jianning, and her fifth uncle is Ye Zhiqiu?"

"What the princess said is good, isn't it Ye Wu who is the patrol envoy. ”

Liu Shuangli's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly pricked up his ears, wanting to hear more about Jianning Houfu and Ye Zhiqiu, but he didn't want Qin Sihua to be interested in this, so he only chatted casually with this lady for a few words, and then changed the topic, but talked about the fact that Chen Ergongzi was killed a few days ago.

Regarding the death of the second son of Chen, the lady and lady present were shocked and curious, and most of the chatting was rumors from the outside, and the testimony of the third room and the fourth son of the Marquis of Jianning Mansion was also used to talk in detail, but it was inconclusive.

Everyone chatted for a while, except for Shi Qiong, who was curious about the chivalrous women of the rivers and lakes for a while when she first came, and watched Liu Shuangli's drill and laughed at it, which made Shi Qiong's face blue and annoyed, no one was interested in any chivalrous women.

Shi Qiong knew that she was looked down upon, and no one paid attention to her, so she could only bow her head with a blushing face, like the two young ladies from Cheng Mansion, sitting speechless.

It was only when the old lady of Zhenguo said that it was boring to sit and let the ladies and ladies go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and have fun, and everyone got up and retired.
