Chapter 291: Flower Society
As soon as she returned to the mansion, Fu Ying came to see her, and she didn't ask her where she went, but only told her that tomorrow there will be a Hundred Flowers Party in Princess Changping's mansion, and Master Hou asked her to go with Guo Xiuzhi.
This kind of flower meeting is the most popular among the noble women, and it is held several times a year, either this princess or a wealthy family. It is to gather some unmarried little girls together, and then invite some famous sons, at which the women compete with each other, perform, and compete to attract attention. Usually the girl with the best reviews can find a good family.
Some families are appointed to see each other through flowers, and some women are mothers to find daughters-in-law for their sons, in short, it is a blind date in disguise, and the wealthy ladies give outsiders the opportunity to see each other.
Guo Wenying really doesn't like this kind of Baihuahui and Baicaohui, she is used to being a man, and she is not good at contact with women, not to mention that she has no talent at all, and it is more difficult for her to perform than to catch ducks on the shelves.
Guo Yixian's meaning seemed to be to push her out, and I don't know whose idea it was, but obviously he didn't intend to let her hide in the boudoir.
Hongxiang inquired about the news from Guo Xiuzhi, saying that this time the flower party is different from previous years, because there are several princesses participating this year, that is to say, this issue of the flower party involves the royal family, and the scale is destined to not be small.
When Guo Wenying heard this, she felt even more headache, the last thing she wanted to do was the royal family.
Seeing the dark guard at first glance today, it completely disrupted her peaceful life for a long time, and I am afraid that her wishful thinking will come to naught, and the little life she has been thinking about will not be able to pass.
Feng Jingting, Feng Jingting, when will it not be so ghostly?
This night, Guo Wenying had a dream, and dreamed that a weasel was drooling at herself, with a weird smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to her: "If you want to run, where do you run?"
She was frightened, and instantly woke up from her sleep, and was sweating all over her body for a while.
Hongxiang, who was keeping vigil, heard the movement, and hurriedly came to look, and when she saw her sitting on the quilt, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, is this a nightmare?
She sighed, "Weasel." ”
Hongxiang is funny, what's so scary about a weasel?
Guo Wenying sighed and lay down again, weasels are not scary, but if you are a chicken, it is scary.
Hongxiang shook her head and walked out, her young lady has always been bold, when did she become so bold?
※
The Princess Mansion of Changping has built guest seats day and night, and the dance hall has been renovated, and its luxury is also higher than before.
Guo Xiuzhi has always liked to inquire about gossip, and she didn't know where she heard it, saying that this flower party might be the preliminaries of the September Palace draft.
The news came out as early as a few days ago, and all the high-ranking families in the entire capital exploded, and the three-year draft has always been presented to the Inner Court Division by all over the country, and then the Inner Court Division is in charge of a round of screening, step by step, during which there are many ladies, and there is no opportunity to perform in front of the palace, so they are called back. If this news is true, it is a good thing that the school-age women of all families in Beijing have fallen from the sky, but anyone who is a little ambitious hopes to show their faces once in this flower party, and they can become successful without ranking, at least they can be familiar with their faces.
For a while, Princess Changping's invitation became a sought-after item, and it could be sold for five hundred taels on the black market.
Guo Wenying was very surprised when she heard the news, and then began to think about whether to sell the invitation card in her hand. Five hundred taels is really not a decimal number.
She thought so, but she didn't dare to really do it, the invitation card had the name of the mansion, and it said Yongding Houfu, who would dare to take it out and sell it?
Mrs. Lu knew that she was going to attend the Hundred Flowers Fair, so she asked someone to bring her a dress and a ruby head. Although it is not as big as the sapphire set she gave last time, it looks very delicate, and it is suitable for some young girls.
After all, it was her aunt's heart, and Guo Wenying still dressed up. The ruby head and face with the peach pink dress suddenly showed a little bit of the delicate state of the little daughter.
Guo Wenying looked at the pink-faced and peach-cheeked, smiling woman in the mirror, a little unbelievable that this was herself, she took off her dress and put on women's clothes, it turned out that she could be so cute and cute. At this time, she realized that she was really a woman.
When she set off, Guo Fu only prepared a carriage, and Guo Xiuzhi got into the car first, but she didn't let her get on the car by holding on to the door.
Guo Wenying glanced at her coldly, knowing that it was most likely a small action made by Fu Ying. Sure enough, I went to ask the steward, and the steward said that all the carriages in the house had gone out, and the young lady was going to use a blue caravan with only subordinates.
Guo Wenying sneered, and was about to drop him, but when she saw the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion coming out, Guo Wanyun greeted her with a smile in the car, "Sister doesn't dislike it, just take one with me." ”
Guo Wenying nodded and stepped into her car.
Although the carriage was not spacious, it was still possible to drive for two or three people. Seeing Guo Wenying coming up, Guo Wanyun smiled softly at her, "I saw my sister just now, and I still didn't believe it, but now I know that I am not mistaken, does my sister still remember Wanyun?"
Guo Wenying said with a smile: "How can you not remember that Sister Wanyun is so peugeot, which is unforgettable at first sight." ”
Since coming back from the southeast, Guo Wanyun has been waiting to be married in the mansion, I heard that the emperor ascended the throne, accepted Jiang Yuyan into the palace, and named the virtuous concubine, but she did not enter the palace, it seems that what she said at the beginning of Feng Jingting is still valid.
She smiled and asked, "Sister Wanyun has always been good?"
"It's okay. Guo Wanyun lowered her head, looking a little lonely, and it seemed that this time was not going well.
After the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's marriage decree was never mentioned again, her father once knocked on the side of the emperor and asked, and what he got was that the emperor's decree was not seen at all, and the implication was that this decree was not counted.
The good marriage is gone, Guo Yiqian is still looking forward to his daughter entering the palace and being a concubine, but obviously the emperor has no intention of accepting her into the palace. I had to go around to find her in-law's family, and many wealthy families in Beijing asked, and some people even disliked that she had been married by the emperor, and they didn't dare to marry her for fear of ruining her reputation. It's been a year and I haven't decided on a family affair.
Although Guo Wanyun didn't say these words, Guo Wenying knew something about her in Guo's mansion these days, and when she saw that she was not happy, she guessed what she was worried about.
When she talked to her about the marriage, she also thought that there would be this day, and since she had already managed it, she could only manage it to the end. Then he said: "Sister don't worry, I will find a good family for my sister, but if I can't do it, I went to ask the emperor for marriage, and he will also give some face if he sees the merits of the Guo family." ”
Guo Wanyun knew that the merits she was talking about were not from the Guo family, but the merits of her Guo Wenying, and as for that face, it was also for the commander of the Tianzhong Elite. The entire Guo family wants to say that she is the only one who can speak in front of the emperor, even her own father.
In fact, it is not the first time she has seen Guo Wenying today, a few days ago in Xifu Garden, when she was sitting in the pavilion, she saw Guo Wenying coming with two maids.
