Chapter Seventy-One: The Flower Society

A sedan chair stopped beside Xin Yi at some point, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Lu Jin's smiling face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info As if she was just meeting a friend on the road, she stopped the sedan chair to greet her, and her smile was warm and dignified.

"My girl's mouth is not covered, her words are ugly, and the words are clean. Xin Yi's shallow smile on the tip of his eyebrows was just right, not humble or arrogant, and secretly alienated, "The Qixi Flower Festival is a matter of elegance, and it has alarmed the only young lady of the Lu family, and if you want to join in the fun, is it that no matter how expensive or cheap the nine products are, the Lu family and I are all average?"

Xin Yi aggravated the words of "just elegant things". Today, she and the eldest grandson's family are grasshoppers on the same rope, even if she has no intention of causing trouble, she must speak for the eldest grandson.

The gun shoots the first bird. Since ancient times, it has been publicized and caused trouble. Naturally, she understands this.

Seeing that the people from all walks of life came over to curry favor because they recognized Lu Jin's sedan chair, Xin Yi made up his mind and bowed his head to Lu Jinyifu, pretending to be very tame: "The elegant things in the boudoir, no matter how lively they are, they are just fun." What the Lu family sees in their eyes is the government and what they hear in their ears is the society, how can they look down on it. ”

"Miss Xin has a clever mouth, but she is not smart. Lu Jin's smile became stronger, and he pretended to be kind and weak, "Although the flower meeting is just an elegant thing in the boudoir, and it can't be on the big stage, there is ambition behind it." Miss Xin can hear. ”

Lu Jin paused, and a chill rose in the depths of his tone: "The folk flying stalkers (Note 1) start to gnaw at the wood, and by the time the owner of the house notices the precautions, it has already collapsed in the anthill. Only when the knife holder is on the neck will you know that it is dangerous, and the thief will know how to prevent it when you enter the house. The five surnames and seven hopes will not be so stupid. ”

Xin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but his smile was no different: "Miss Lu is the daughter of the fifth surname and Qiwang, and I am the bride of the eldest grandson's family." As far as her position is concerned, why did Miss Lu talk to Ziqing like this?"

Lu Jin raised her eyebrows, and the water spirit in the center of her eyebrows flickered, reflecting the snow-colored flow of her eyes: "The matter of Qujiangchi River Lantern, no matter what Miss Xin herself plans, I am up to you in the end, I have washed away my grievances, and I have gained a good reputation in vain." This is a favor for you. However, Miss Xin has always been smart, even if I don't talk about it, the girl herself can see it. Leave. ”

After Lu Jin finished speaking, regardless of Xin Yi's reaction, he put down the curtain directly, and the little servant shouted "get up the sedan chair" and went to Ziyun Tower.

Xin Yi stood in place for a long time, his eyes a little heavy. Of course, she could guess what Lu Jin meant, but as a person who went all the way with her eldest grandson, she was lucky after all.

The flower party is just an elegant taste, even if it is too grand, the five surnames and seven hopes of the day will not think much about it.

However, it now seems that today's flower society will never be quiet.

"Green Butterfly, let's go. Xin Yi sighed slightly, the matter has come to this point, and the only way to see the move is to dismantle it. However, she called a few times, but the green butterfly did not answer.

"Green Butterfly?" Xin Yi looked around, only to find that because he avoided his conversation with Lu Jin, Green Butterfly stepped aside and was looking at the prosperous scenery around him.

"Girl. The green butterfly came to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "The girl spares the slave." The slave and maid were greedy for the beautiful scenery, and did not hear the girl call me. ”

"That's it. Do you think this flower will be really beautiful?" Xin Yi looked at the green butterfly's little face, still flushed with excitement, and his eyes couldn't help but glance to both sides.

Green Butterfly's eyes lit up and nodded fiercely: "Prosperous and grand, although it is the night of Qixi Festival, it is competing for Sanchunhui." The girl looked at the surrounding lanterns, tens of thousands of pots of seasonal flowers, sheng flute painting boats, and the fragrance of cinnamon wine, and she really couldn't see enough for a few hours. What did the eldest grandson hold a flower party as a declining family, even if the five surnames and Qiwang attended, it was just some concubines, but I didn't expect the only lady of the Lu family to come to see the excitement. ”

Green Butterfly finished speaking excitedly, but the more Xin Yi listened, the more his eyes sank: "The only lady of the Lu family came to join in the fun?" Green Butterfly, have you ever heard a folk saying: People are here to smash the field?"

"Smash the field?" Green Butterfly was stunned.

Xin Yi pulled his skirt, brushed his sleeves, turned to leave, Green Butterfly hurriedly followed, only in the slightly drunk evening breeze, I vaguely heard the two of them talking "Green Butterfly, stay quiet later." Tonight's flower party is going to make a big mess", "slave maid Yide".

When Xin Yi and Green Butterfly walked to Ziyun Tower, an entourage checked the invitation, and the two entered the building, and when they reached the pavilion on the highest floor, they found that the grandeur of this flower party exceeded their imagination.

The wide and bright pavilion has no walls on all sides, only the light silk bead curtain blows in the wind, sending the lotus fragrance all over the garden. In the middle of the pavilion, dozens of pineapple wood carved flowers and silver are placed in the big case, and there is no need to talk about the wine and delicacies on the case. In the center, a three-zhang high coral cinnamon tree, the incense is burned in the golden furnace all around, and the jade carving is dry and the jade screen is dry, and the pavilion is dressed up like a toad laurel moon palace.

In the pavilion stood dozens of young ladies and girls from various official houses in Chang'an, the pavilion was almost black and pressed, the air was filled with gouache, and the jade was stained red with rouge. Not long after everyone arrived, they didn't sit at the table, just stood and laughed and talked, and it was seen that the women were surrounded by five surnamed Qiwang women, as well as the host Sun Yuru. Among the crowd, Lu Jin was the leader, and even the eldest Sun Yuru had a flattering smile.

Xin Yi came in and no one noticed, or rather, no one paid attention to her. Except for the eldest grandson Yuru who had his back to her, everyone else glanced at her, then turned their heads lightly and continued to laugh with their friends. It seems that I didn't see Xin Yi.

The nobles at the scene were at least from the Sipin Mansion, and Xinyi, a concubine from the Wupin Mansion, if she hadn't been involved in marriage with the eldest grandson, they would have lost her identity even though she was half of her eyes.

"Girl, let's go over quietly and go directly to Miss Eldest Sun. The green butterfly stood at the entrance of the pavilion, and she also felt embarrassed, and her cheeks turned red.

Xin Yi shook his head. She is not a person who is in the limelight, but she is about to marry her eldest grandson, if she is despised by Chang'an's boudoir at this moment, she will not be able to gain a foothold in the eldest grandson's mansion in the future.

Besides, she is no longer a pawn, she is also a player. What she wants is not to compromise and be in control. Protect yourself, protect this life, and ensure the rest of your life.

Retreat, there is only one dead end, and there are still thousands of opportunities to advance.

"Green Butterfly, tidy up your appearance, look up. Xin Yi said lightly. The green butterfly who followed her was frightened, because her girl's voice suddenly became calm, calm to the point of frightening.

Xin Yi straightened the hairpin ring in her bun, smoothed the wrinkles on Luo's skirt, pinned the green silk that slipped out of her sideburns behind her ears, and she walked towards the field.

The nobles who gathered in a group to laugh noticed Xin Yi coming calmly, and couldn't help but look sideways slightly, but if this was only a woman from the fourth rank mansion, the third rank and above and the fifth surname Qiwang, even if they heard the more and more clear footsteps, their eyes did not flash.

Xin Yilian walked with the wind, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I'm late! I'll punish myself three cups later, and I'll make amends!"

As soon as the words came out, the house was full of surprise.

Not to mention that all the women present were solemn and dignified, soft-spoken and gentle, and did not dare to lose the demeanor of the official lady, Xin Yi did not arrive, and the laughter came first, and it was rude.

The most important thing is that Xin Yi's words are really intriguing.

The meaning of the words is as if she is the master, and even if the nobles of the various provinces have five surnames and seven hopes, they are only invited by her. There is no shabby five-grade petty official between the words, but the relationship between the peers is hidden and arrogant.

Exegesis:

1. Flying stingles: that is, termites. There are records of termites in ancient books in China, but the classification is confused, and ants, stingers, flying stingers, mayflies, licks, and stingers in ancient books are all confused with ants. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the name of termites was born, and it was determined to be another name for termites.
