Chapter Twenty-Nine: Caught on Fire
"Second sister, I recently visited a wine taster, and my wine tasting skills have improved a lot, and I want to take advantage of the heroes of the Piaoxiang Club to have a discussion with the second sister next month. The fourth lady picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the second miss with a smile.
simply regarded Gu Zhirong as transparent.
Gu Zhirong didn't mind, when the two powerful factions of the Gu Mansion were fighting each other, of course she would not be stupid enough to be cannon fodder.
The fourth lady came over from the second lady, looked at the title deed that the second lady got in her hand, and was proud of the spring breeze, and happened to pass by Liuyun Courtyard, thinking about coming in and seeing, not wanting to be caught by her The excellent opportunity.
The second miss frowned and looked at the fourth miss vigilantly. Of course, she knew that the fourth lady was very scheming, and over the years, relying on her fame abroad, she had become famous and became a substitute for the four famous ladies in the capital.
In just two years, the fourth miss made her name a household name in the capital, which even the second miss had to admire.
In the face of such a person who snoops you from time to time, even the second lady is such an arrogant person, she feels a little frightened in her heart, and looks at the fourth miss with more guarded: "Fourth sister has been very leisurely recently, why do you have time to study wine tasting?"
"Second sister scared?" the fourth lady glanced at the second lady, "This is not like you, one of the four famous ladies in the capital." ”
In the face of such an aggressive momentum of the fourth lady, the second miss was speechless for a while. She knows very well that in terms of talent, this fourth sister can't compare to her no matter what. However, this fourth sister can always go off the rails, making her unable to resist. For example, the fourth lady is not as good as herself in playing the piano, so she will make an appointment to compare herself to dance, and she is not as good as herself in Go, so she will compare embroidery with herself. than his own weakness, he repeatedly let himself drill and take the opportunity to take the position. In the past few years, with this method, it has gradually become famous. Those good deeds in the capital also put her name on it, as if she was the backup of the four celebrities.
This time, what kind of set is it again?
Seeing that the second lady was still groaning, the fourth lady smiled indifferently: "Is the second sister unwell? If that's the case, then just admit defeat and give me the first name." ”
The second young lady glared at the fourth young lady fiercely, she has always been arrogant, how could she admit defeat, and was about to answer, when she heard the cuihuan next to her say quietly: "Fourth miss, the slave maid thinks this is unfair, every year in the Piaoxiang Society, it is the question of the fourth miss's life, this time let our young lady also have a question, okay?"
The second lady didn't expect Cuihuan beside her to be so clever all of a sudden, and couldn't help but glance at her approvingly.
The fourth lady nodded: "That's right, in the past, the proposition I proposed was adopted every year, but this time, it's okay to give it to the second sister." ”
The second miss didn't expect the fourth miss to throw the proposition to herself so easily, and she couldn't help but take a closer look at the fourth miss. Seeing that the fourth lady looked as usual, she did not have the slightest regret or reluctance, which made the doubts in her heart gradually rise.
"Second sister, what is your proposition?" the fourth lady tilted her head slightly, met the eyes of the second lady, and asked in a peaceful voice.
The second young lady couldn't help frowning.
The second miss is not like the fourth miss, she doesn't know anything about the fourth miss's specialty, if you talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the first two years of the establishment of the Piaoxiang Society have been compared, and last year's dance, the fourth miss monopolized the boiling, defeated herself and the ladies in the capital, and the peacock dance she danced was also choreographed by the court musicians. So, this time, although the second lady desperately wants to get back a game and restore her fame, what's the problem?
Seeing the second lady groaning, the fourth lady smiled: "Since the second sister can't think of it, how about it according to my idea?" Since it is my question, my own words are unfair, since this is the case, I will let the fifth sister go." ”
Everyone in Liu Yun's courtyard was stunned for a moment.
Gu Zhirong didn't expect that she would watch the play well, but she was suddenly dragged into the water, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at the fourth miss uncertainly: "Fourth sister, are you talking about me?"
Seeing that the fourth lady nodded, Gu Zhirong hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't know how to taste wine......"
Everyone in the house knows that Gu Zhirong loves to paint very much, and he gets drunk when he drinks. The rain in the Jokhang Kingdom is abundant, the melons and fruits in the four seasons are fragrant, and there are flowers of various varieties. Even the most cherished Shennong flower is unique here. Folk love to use flowers and fruits to make wine, gradually, men drink strong wine, show pride, women drink fruit wine, stretch feelings. Later, it was spread to the palace, and tasters of all levels were derived. A fruit wine blended with a variety of flowers and fruits, like a modern cocktail, can be mixed with a variety of colors and flavors.
Gu Zhirong doesn't know this, the most important thing is that she doesn't know how to drink at all. I remember that one year at the banquet in the Hou Mansion, someone in the house wanted to fix the heroine, so she was asked to have a drink, and the heroine only drank half a cup and fell to the ground with a "bang" and got drunk. So the reputation of not being able to drink has spread louder than his own name.
When Cuihuan heard that it was the fifth young lady Gu Zhirong who came to participate in the competition, her eyes showed disdain, and she nodded secretly at the second young lady.
The second lady said: "Okay, let the fifth sister participate in this competition." But... If the fourth sister regrets it now, it will be too late. ”
"Why should I regret it?" the fourth lady smiled lightly, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking, "I believe that the fifth sister will definitely do it." ”
Gu Zhirong stared at the fourth young lady in surprise. This scheming Gu Yuanqin knew that she couldn't drink, but he wanted to pull her out, what the hell was he doing!
Could it be that the fourth miss wants to choose a side by herself, force herself into her chariot, and deal with the second miss side by side with her?
The struggle between the big house and the second room is endless, and she is a weak woman with no power and no power, and the best way is to stand by and watch.
So she rolled her eyes and showed a look of embarrassment: ""Two sisters, I remember that the competition of the Piaoxiang Club will be on the third day of next month. You all know, I'm grounded, I can't get out here, how can I go to the Fragrance Society?"
The second lady suddenly sneered: "What's this, I'll talk about it over there, old lady." Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, especially you......"
She took a step forward, stared at Gu Zhirong and said, "Don't think that you should respond to someone else's, and then find a simple reason to push it off?
Gu Zhirong opened her mouth, what is this second miss talking about, what did she say to the fourth miss again? Could it be that the fourth miss can make the second miss misunderstand that she and the fourth miss are in a group by saying it casually, it seems that this fourth miss is really powerful.
