Fanwai (Du Ruyin) on
"Yinyin, you see, the commissioner is drinking with your brother outside, do you want to go out to accompany you, I know you don't want to, but your brother will have to rely on him in the future......" The mother's voice was a little sob, getting smaller and smaller. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮
I smiled: "Isn't that what a father and mother have cultivated for their daughters, and it's not the first time that a mother has anything to say." ”
I picked out a rose-red dress and changed it on, a vulgar fabric, but because it was just time, I still looked bright in the mirror.
I stared at the woman in the mirror until the coldness and disgust in her eyes were no longer visible, until her lips were again shy, pure and shy, like a fawn, and then I turned and went out.
After the dance, I looked at Jiang Lu's fascinated eyes, just lowered my eyes shyly, and slowly withdrew my hand.
I can't remember when I was no longer scared to the point of crying or being ashamed and angry in the face of such a thing.
When did it start, thirteen, twelve, or earlier?
In fact, the family is also strange, but there is a hidden happiness in this strangeness, my father and mother are just ordinary, and a few sisters can be regarded as middle-aged at most, but it is me, who gave birth to this fairy jade face, fortunate or unlucky?
"Du Rutao, is this sister of yours your own child? Look at this delicate and delicate watery appearance, it really hurts, so why don't you just follow me as my fifth concubine?" Jiang Lu spoke.
I just pretended to be shy, hid my face and ran away from the seat to the backyard, not worried, how can they see it, they still expect me to climb higher branches.
"Lord Jiang carries love, Mo Jiang is really fortunate in three lives, but when my sister was born, a warlock asserted that she could only stay in her mother's house before the ceremony, otherwise she would be a husband for the rest of her life, and when she passed the ceremony, I would immediately send her to the adult's mansion to ......."
I don't want to listen to the same rhetoric anymore, there are the assertions of the charlatans, but what he said is that in my life, I will definitely be able to stand in a high position that the world envy and enjoy the glory that the world cannot enjoy.
It is precisely because of this sentence, and my more and more outstanding appearance, that my parents almost used the financial resources of the entire Du family to support my growth.
They invited the best gentleman for me, taught me the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy, taught me embroidery female red, taught me piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, vocal music and dance, and did everything.
They bought me the best clothes and jewelry they could pay.
Not to mention the rest of the sisters, even the brothers, what they use is not as good as mine.
But—
I suddenly remembered the scene I saw when I went to the market to pick up cloth this morning, such a gorgeous carriage, such a cloud-like servant, and such a noble formation, and everyone's face was full of flattering smiles.
A light breeze blew, and the woman in the carriage smiled quietly and calmly, not unbeautiful, but the faint patience and dislike in the depths of her eyebrows pierced my heart in an instant.
It was something I couldn't hope for, and she abandoned it, just because of a different background?
The surrounding pedestrians whispered enviously: "This is the second miss of the Murong family, I heard that she was lost a few years ago, and now she has found it again, she looks really beautiful......"
Hongyin noticed that I couldn't take back my gaze, and opened her mouth to persuade: "Miss is hundreds of times more beautiful than her!"
I know she's deliberately exaggerating to please me, but even if that's the case, what?
She is still the second lady of the noble Murong family, I am just the daughter of a small official with a beautiful face, full of talent, but I can only use it as a means to deal with Jiang Lu and others.
I am not reconciled, but life can only go on like this* year after year, until she gets married, and her husband is the third prince who is most favored by the Holy Grace, and the day of my trip and ritual is approaching day by day.
As time goes by, even the parents can't help but have a lot of complaining looks on their faces.
"Yinyin, what the hell do you think, a few years ago, there were always some people who couldn't get on the stage, your father and I didn't wait for you to say goodbye, but now your father and brother are slowly rising, and the people you meet are all considered to have heads and faces, but why don't you always agree? For example, this time Lord Liu, although he is a little older, but he is a member of the imperial court, I really don't know what you are still picking this child......?
I looked at my mother and smiled, but my eyes were cold: "Mother don't worry, in a few days, it will be the birthday of Huang Yiyuan, the daughter of Huang Gong, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and my daughter has asked Lord Liu to find a way to take her daughter to the banquet." ”
The mother was overjoyed and laughed: "Oh, you kid, when did you hide it from us—"
I interrupted her and handed over the box in my hand: "Mother, you help me sell all these jewelry, and then go to the 'Yunni Cloth Village' to buy the pink Luo Qi that I have newly shipped from Qi Yue, and I will use it to make a dress myself." ”
The mother was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, Yin Yin is the most delicate in pink, and Lord Liu has also praised it, isn't it?" But you have all these jewelry, and your father and I will think of buying it for you, how can you do it without wearing anything." ”
After my mother finished speaking, she left, and I looked at the jewelry in the box, which was the best I had, but compared to famous ladies like Huang Yiyuan, it was nothing at all, and wearing it would only increase their laughing stock.
Within a few days, my mother sent the horse to me, and said distressedly: "It's just such a small piece of cloth, it's really expensive, you have to behave well in front of Lord Liu." ”
I ignored her, just by myself, it took me five full days to cut Na Luo Qi into a dress that was unique in the world, and then between the cloudy hairpins, a newly blooming chrysanthemum was put on it.
I looked at Liu Zhanghai's obsessive appearance, and knew that my outfit must be beautiful, but I didn't do it for him.
All the way to Huang Gong's house, I have been searching, and I heard a long time ago that Princess Yiyang, the most favored princess of the saint, will also come today.
For the princess's various elegant deeds, as well as her enthusiasm for court politics, the community has always talked about it.
I have heard that she has sought out many young women as a tool to curry favor with her father, brothers, and the powerful.
Yes, tools, but I don't mind.
Because I know that even if it is just a tool, as long as it is from the hands of Princess Yiyang, then the value is by no means comparable to the daughter of a cabinet attendant, and the person she wants to please will never be a mere third-grade person like Liu Zhanghai.
My eyes have always followed Princess Yiyang, and I have already taken advantage of the crowd to throw Liu Shanhai away, but Princess Yiyang didn't see me at a glance, how could she see it, her side was surrounded by too much flattery and welcome.
It's getting late, I'm not in a hurry, but I'm still waiting, I'm waiting for an opportunity that will allow me to succeed in one fell swoop.
The joyful dance and music began to be staged, in fact, the banquet had just begun, but I watched Princess Yiyang and a handsome young man beside me laugh in a low voice, and I had already vaguely revealed the meaning of leaving the table first.
This is really anxious, on such an occasion, she is willing to come, which has already given the Huang family a lot of face, and there is no need to save it until the end.
Just after a period of dance and music, I didn't dare to delay any longer, got up and walked to the hall, bowed down to Princess Yiyang Yingying on the main seat, but lowered her eyebrows and opened her mouth to Huang Yiyuan: "Miss Huang's birthday is auspicious, Yin Yin specially prepared a dance of neon clothes and feathers, to congratulate Miss on her birthday, I wish Miss every year, rich and auspicious." ”
Almost everyone was stunned, partly because they didn't know who I was, and partly because they didn't expect me to leave the table so unreasonably.
I didn't give them time to react, and I didn't even wait for them to ask or agree, but stretched my arms and danced.
For this dance, I practiced all my life.
When the last movement froze, I raised my eyes to see Princess Yiyang on the main seat.
Her eyes moved, and then there was an unconcealed interest, and even a little, vaguely excited.
I smiled slowly, lowered my face again, and bowed to Princess Yiyang in a dignified manner.
