8. Tutoring
Dou Mingluan looked back and pointed to the place and said with a smile: "That is the place where several of my brothers come to practice bows and arrows in winter, and today the fifth brother is rising, and he has invited some friends to come here to practice, can my sisters and sisters go over to have a look?" ”
Before everyone was silent, Zhenxiu had already said loudly: "Good, good! ”
Seeing this, Dou Mingluan smiled and took them forward to the half-shot place, passing through the January Gate, and seeing that this place suddenly opened up, a poplar forest in the distance, and these young men were shooting arrows into the forest.
Seeing that Dou Mingluan had brought a group of ladies to him, the little girl hurriedly summoned the young men over. Most of these sons have not yet been dressed, they are all dressed in short clothes, only the collar and cuffs are slightly more luxurious, and among them, the young man wearing a military uniform has beautiful eyebrows and long eyes, red lips and white teeth, and is more beautiful than many women. Most boys and girls are too feminine and not yang, but this young man is not, although his lips are red and his teeth are white, he is masculine and majestic. Even a woman like Zhenshu who doesn't want to have a spring in the capital has to secretly praise her good looks.
This young man is Dou Keming, the fifth son of the Beishun Hou Mansion, he came over to hug his fists and give a salute, and several ladies in the Song Mansion naturally returned the courtesy. Before everyone looked up after the salute, they suddenly heard a coquettish cry: "Ouch! My purse. ”
When Zhenshu heard this, he naturally knew that Zhenxiu was making trouble again. She endured the white eyes and stepped forward to pick up the purse that fell to the ground for Zhenxiu, but saw Zhenxiu gently push her away and said, "Don't bother Yahuan, this girl will pick it up herself." ”
The two brothers and sisters of the Hou Mansion and their friends and several ladies of the Song Mansion all watched, and they saw Zhenxiu lift the skirt curtain and squat down to pick up the small purse. The purse was falling at her feet, and when she picked it up, a pair of three-inch-long little golden lotuses were exposed in plain sight. If it is said that there are good golden lotuses in the court, they are all half hundred and seventy old people, how can the young sons appreciate this good thing, but they have not been tempered by the world, it is when they love the innocence of women, they are a pair of slender feet, and they also love the white, tender and tender five toes. And this kind of deformed play of breaking the bone joints and wrapping them into a small zongzi, they can't appreciate it at this grade.
It was because the teenagers around Dou Keming all gasped in exclamation, and the tone seemed to say: This girl is really ruthless, she can do it.
Zhenxiu has been bound for seven or eight years, just to shine in Beijing. Although she also knew that she should first press her age to please Zhenyu now, and then find an opportunity to reveal it. However, the five sons of Dou Mansion were too handsome, and Zhenxiu panicked and wanted to lure him with a golden lotus. And just after hearing the voices of these young boys, he thought that he had conquered most of them with his feet, and he was secretly proud, but Zhenyu next to him suddenly looked at her coldly.
It turned out that Zhenyu was willing to promote Zhenxiu, but it was just because she felt that among the girls in the second room, only Zhenxiu was ordinary, and she could show her own beauty when she was with herself. She was kind and willing to help her, but she regarded herself as a ladder to climb up, and at the banquet in the pavilion, Zhenxiu praised Dou Mingluan more than herself, which was good, she simply stepped on herself and came out.
Mingyu thought like this, and moved two steps to the side quietly. This Dou Keming has some dealings with Mingyu, thinking that the beauty of the Song Mansion is just the same posture as Mingyu, and now there are several fat, thin and thin people like this, among which one of the marriageable grades, with a pink face and delicate cheeks, shy eyebrows, two long hair on his chest, and when the wind blows, his whole soul will float away. After all, he is a young man, and his mother is staring at him closely, and the maids who are waiting in front of him are all ordinary appearances, and they haven't eaten in their mouths yet, Wei Mingyu is a self-recommended person all day long, but she looks like a man, although Dou Keming is greedy, but now she still holds her heart and does not promise her heart to that woman.
Today, this is the only one, just one glance, as if it is about to seduce his soul.
Dou Keming swallowed lightly, raised his bow and pointed at Ming Yuan and said, "This sister is also from the Song Mansion?" ”
Dou Mingluan smiled: "Exactly, it's the eldest daughter of the Song Mansion." ”
Zhenyu has been familiar with him since childhood, and looking at the way his eyes shine, he knows that today is not good, and this Dou Keming is afraid that he has taken a fancy to Zhenyuan. On the one hand, she secretly hated this Dou Keming for not knowing the goods, but she also loved a shallow goods with a good-looking face and no inside, and on the other hand, she thought that she had to tear him apart quickly, otherwise she was afraid that he would take a few more looks, and even she would not pay attention to herself.
Thinking of this, Zhenyu took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Brother Keming, I have some new ideas about what we talked about last time, do you want to talk to me again?" ”
Dou Keming was still staring at Zhen Yuan, but he also nodded and said, "Okay, where to go?" ”
Zhenyu said: "Let's take a walk in the forest ahead." ”
She turned around and saw that Zhenxiu was about to follow, so she coldly gave her a roll of her eyes, pointed to Zhenshu and said, "You follow." ”
Since you want to be in the limelight, I'm going to lift someone else. Zhenyu thought so in her heart, staring at Zhenxiu from afar, but dragged Zhenshu away.
Zhenshu saw that Dou Keming was still some distance from them, so he bowed his head and said softly: "Second sister, you brought the maid ring yourself, besides, I am not taking your burden." ”
Zhenyu looked up and said, "So what?" Didn't you lower your value to be a girl? If you can be their maid, why can't you be mine? ”
Zhenshu gritted his teeth and said secretly: When I return to Huixian County, I won't come to the capital again. The ladies in the capital are really sick.
Seeing that he had entered the forest, Zhenyu hurried a few steps to catch up with Dou Keming, and left Zhenshu alone to follow behind. She said coquettishly: "Fifth brother, Concubine Rong in the palace sent a letter to urge marriage again, how is this good?" ”
Dou Keming smiled: "That is the case, you can choose a good son-in-law, why do you want to ask me?" ”
Mingyu glared and said, "I hate it!" ”
She chased Dou Keming, which can be regarded as a well-known thing in the whole capital. Although Dou Keming doesn't like her appearance, but Zhenyu has a hearty temperament, she is squeamish when she should be squeamish, she is generous when she should be generous, and she can talk about it with him, and it is rare to see such a passionate and bold lady, although Dou Keming is a little reluctant in his heart, he has never thought of rejecting her.
Zhenshu listened to Zhenyu's boldness like this, he was embarrassed first, and then took two steps back, Rao is like this, Zhenyu's voice is still clear and heard in her ears.
"I won't stop you from taking a concubine, and I won't stop you from sleeping with a girl, and I have a dowry." Mingyu stared at Dou Keming and said, "And you?" It's not the prince, there are four brothers in front of you, how much is left of the Hou Mansion's family wealth in your hands? I can help you deal with those annoying sisters-in-law, and bring a large dowry, fifth brother......"
Zhenyu saw that he didn't respond for a long time, so he turned his hand around his eyes and said, "Are you listening to me?" ”
Dou Keming was speechless for a long time, and suddenly said: "That eldest sister of your family, how old is this year?" ”
Zhenyu sneered: "It's weird, it turns out that you have a crush on her." ”
She took two steps forward, then turned back and said: "Her father is a concubine, and the family wealth is only a few acres of thin fields, if you talk about dowry, there is no penny." Grade, eighteen, a year older than you. ”
Dou Keming shook his head and said, "I can't see it, she doesn't look like fifteen or sixteen." ”
Zhenyu looked at Dou Keming coldly for a long time, loved his appearance, and was angry at his frivolity, and hated to ask him to kneel down and beg to marry him immediately, but he coldly rejected him, so that he could meet the pain of chasing him all these years.
But she naturally knew that this was impossible, he was born with such a good appearance, the women in Beijing flocked to him, and if she let go, someone would naturally come to rob her immediately, and then he and Miss Beppu would marry, and she would really become a joke in the capital. She comforted her heart like this, and then said calmly: "She is just a daughter born to a concubine, how can she compare with me." If you love her beauty, and when you marry me, I will bring her to you as a concubine? ”
Dou Keming was looking into the distance, but at this time he turned back with a smile on his face and asked, "With her appearance, can she be willing to be a concubine?" ”
Zhenyu suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "She just has a pair of skins, a stupid mouth, and a stupid brain." No one in Beijing who has a head or face is unwilling to marry someone like her and go home as a housewife. Besides, she has no dowry, and being able to take her to marry with me as my concubine is already elevating her, and I still can't look down on ordinary women. ”
In fact, she is also nonsense, but for some reason she thought that she also believed her own nonsense, and thought about it in her heart, isn't this Dou Keming just because she looks bad, if he really brings a beautiful concubine to him, will he agree to marry him.
Dou Keming was also thinking there, not knowing if what Song Zhenyu said was true. If it comes to dowry, Song Zhenyu is indeed his good match, but her appearance is too ordinary, even his current grade of blood and strength can't be interested in her, what will he do in the future. But if she can really bring the eldest girl of the Song Mansion as a concubine......
Zhenyu saw that his eyes flickered, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and he knew that he had guessed his mind again.
She clasped her hands on her chest, deliberately raised her chin, and said slowly: "It's just a girl in the second room, and it's not difficult for me to marry as a concubine." But now the concubine Rong in the palace is urging her to be tight, this thousands of family wealth and delicate concubines, if you don't want it, I will let my grandmother go to the various houses in the capital to ask and see if anyone else ......"
Dou Keming grabbed Zhenyu's little hand and said: "What did my sister say, I will urge my mother to come to your house to propose ...... in two days."
While the two were talking, a short boy ran over panting and shouted, "Fifth son, the Hou Ye has called you in the front yard." ”
Dou Keming frowned and looked at Zhenyu, seeing that Zhenyu was also at a loss, the two turned around and asked the little guy, "What's the matter in the front yard?" Can it be urgent? ”
The little servant waved his hand and said: "The slave also listened to the words uploaded by the second door, but the second door also said that it was urgent, and asked the fifth son to hurry up." ”
Dou Keming said goodbye to Zhenyu and turned to leave. Zhenyu just got his words, and he hated to shout a few times with joy in his heart. was turning around to walk back, and when she turned around, she saw the dark Zhenshu standing not far away and looking at her coldly. Zhenyu secretly said in her heart: Oh no, I forgot that I brought the wrong ring.
But she naturally didn't show it on her face, and stretched out her hand and said, "Help me go back." ”
Zhenshu looked at her hand coldly and said, "Second sister has such a big face, she really treats our family as a slave." The eldest girl in the house actually wants to pull you to marry as a concubine, are you still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Five Dynasties and Three Kingdoms period, are we all untouchables killed by you? ”
When Zhenyu heard this, she secretly said bad things, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just coaxing him that idiot, can you believe it in this way?" ”
Seeing that Zhenshu was still pulling her face, Zhenyu stepped forward and took her hand and said affectionately: "There are frequent banquets in Beijing these days, which are specially arranged by Concubine Rong Niangniang in the palace, that is, to find a good mother-in-law for all your sisters." I don't like to socialize either, but I have to cheer up for your sake. Besides, this is the case in the capital, and it doesn't hurt for relatives and friends to say naughty things to each other. Even if you go back today and sue your grandmother, it will only be a scolding and laughing at her, and I ask you, since you were a child, have you ever seen a woman marry with a concubine? ”
Zhenshu asked her to be suspicious, but she could also hear that Zhenyu was deliberately provoking herself, so she looked back and said: "Naturally, I will naturally inform my grandmother and mother when I go home, and as for whether it is a joke or not, you can explain it to them." ”
Zhenyu saw that she was still walking forward with a baggage, and suddenly said loudly: "I forgot, the three girls of the Song Mansion have already found their own wishful husbands in that poor countryside, unlike the others, who want Baba to come to the capital to find a rich and noble family in a vain attempt to ascend to the sky in one step." ”
Zhenshu stopped when he heard this, saw Zhenyu raise his eyebrows and look at him with a provocative smile, walked slowly in front of her and said: "Second sister is so mean, she is really a good lady and a good tutor!" ”
