7. Chapter 7 Beauty
In view of the expressions of several sisters in the Yasukuni Mansion in front of Su Yan yesterday, it successfully made her a little more curious about her cousin who she had never met, Lu Ji, the eleventh lang of the Lu family. The little ladies in the Guogong Mansion must be very beautiful when they mention him.
On the second day, the weather was exceptionally fine, and in the warm spring breeze, the peach and willow were red, and the warbler flew and butterflies danced, which made Su Yan feel very good when he got up in the morning. Today's banquet in the house, her mother got up early, and went to the eldest aunt and the third aunt according to the arrangement, and said yesterday that there is no need to go to ask for peace this morning. As for the sisters, they all went to help, only she was too lazy to move, and the time to return home was still short, so she was not assigned a job.
Although it was a small banquet today, there were not many guests. Because of her father's request, her grandmother carefully selected, and even her own brothers and nephews were all made and discarded one by one before the list was set.
"Shi Niang, how about wearing these dresses today?" Nursing Mother Yuan Niang was very nervous about her little lady's first appearance in the imperial capital, and since yesterday, she began to choose the clothes she wanted to wear today and the jewelry she brought, but Su Yan didn't pay much attention to it. Clothes and jewelry, she has always come with her mood, she uses whatever she likes, anyway, she looks good in everything she wears (everyone says so, she also thinks it's a fact).
Su Yan leaned lazily on the smoke cage, the copper duck under the smoke cage still had the fragrance of last night, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and asked casually: "It's all red?" The Confucian skirt prepared for her by the nurse was all kinds of red, and the maid held it for her to see.
"Shi Niang doesn't like it?" The nursing mother has always taken Su Yan's opinion as her opinion, and seeing that her little lady seems to be disliked, she immediately plans to change to a batch.
Thinking that day when her grandmother said that she liked to see her wear red, Su Yan said indifferently: "That's all, you don't have to change it anymore." ”
The clothes are red, and the hairpin is gold, which is about the little ladies who came today, and they are dressed up in a slightly uniform way. Su Yan asked Yuanniang to dress her up, but when Lu Xue was about to comb her hair, she frowned and stopped her, "Let's comb a double screw bun." ”
Lu Xue still wanted to fight for it again, "Shi Niang, this is the favorite hairstyle of the little lady in the imperial capital." "She went to learn it for the sake of her little lady.
"No need."
"Yes."
When they were all dressed up, Qingyun held two small chiseled gold incense balls, which were only half the size of a child's palm, and they were extremely exquisite. The newly made incense has been placed in the incense ball, and as for the sleeves, the warm incense itself emanates, which is particularly elegant and intoxicating.
With eyebrows like mountains, eyes and autumn water, and a light red pomegranate skirt, when Su Yan walked into the flower hall step by step, the flower hall that was originally a little noisy instantly quieted down.
Su Rong stared at Su Yan stunned, she had long known Su Yan's beauty, but every time she saw it, she couldn't help but marvel. God doted on her too much, gave her a peerless look, unparalleled talent, and gave her fatherly and maternal love, a sweet friend and a son-in-law, and a lifetime of glory, so that every time she faced her, it was hard not to be envious and jealous.
Originally, when she went back to Fangyuan yesterday, she still regretted saying that one more sentence, but now it seems that yesterday's sentence is not superfluous at all. Since she felt that Shiyi Lang was a good match for her in this life, she should let Su Yan know in advance. After all, except for Lu Ji's mother Xu, the Lu family hopes that Su Yan can marry back to the Lu family. Although Su Yan is willful and self-conscious, she is also proud, knowing that she has a close relationship with Shiyi Lang, she will definitely not agree to the marriage. If she objected, with the favor of the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, no one would mention the matter again.
Not to mention that Su Rong was stunned, there was no one in the flower hall who was not stunned, until Su Yan looked at the Wang family and said slowly: "Grandmother An." ”
Only then did the hall come back to their senses, and Su Yunlan and a few other little ladies couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves. Looking down at the red clothes on his body, and then at the glorious sister, he couldn't wait to go back and change his body immediately, so as not to be compared to the dust. The little ladies were silent, even the Liu family didn't speak for a long time. Luo raised his eyebrows, and smiled secretly in his heart, this time your baby daughter was compared, look at what you are proud of.
Only the Wang family was really happy, took his granddaughter's hand, looked up and down for a long time, and then sat beside her with satisfaction, and kept saying: "I'll just say, our ten mothers are beautiful in red." ”
It was a day off, and the guests of the banquet soon came to the door. Because the people invited were either relatives or good families, the little ladies of the Yasukuni Mansion did not hide, and generously followed their respective fathers and mothers to greet guests and greet everyone.
The first to arrive was Mrs. Lu's family, except for the Lu family who was not in Shangdu, the rest arrived. Su Yan followed his parents and brother to salute, but was pulled by Mrs. Lu. The old fairy with wide-sleeved robes and fluttering silver hair took his granddaughter's hand and smiled like a Buddha. "Little Auntie, why didn't you go to your grandfather's house to play?"
Jingguo Gong squinted at Mrs. Su, and said angrily: "Xiao Shi Niang has only returned to Beijing for twenty years, and she has been to your house three times." ”
Mrs. Lu stroked his long hair in contempt, "You also know that it's only been three times." ”
Jingguo Gong just wanted to jump, but was pushed aside by his wife Wang, Wang smiled like a chrysanthemum, took his dear mother's hand diligently, and secretly glanced at Mrs. Lu several times, completely ignoring his husband on the side and only jumping to the side, just let people, "Tai, Taifu, Ah Li, please." He happily called to the maids: "Quickly serve tea to Taifu and Ah Li, good tea." ”
Lu's mother, Qin and Wang, were also friends when they were young, and they were calm about her being so old that she would be a nymphomaniac to her husband. Anyway, it's not just the Wang family, women of the same age as them, as long as they are still alive, see that her husband is rarely a nymphomaniac.
Qin said: "Whether the tea is good or not is another matter, if the wine is not good, I will settle accounts with you." ”
Su Yan blinked, blinked again, was that sentence just now really said by her elegant and charming grandmother? She must have heard it wrong, it was her grandmother who said it.
"There is good wine, there is good wine, and you are satisfied."
Lu beckoned to his daughter, pointed to the one who was particularly outstanding among the teenagers opposite, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this is Eleven Lang." ”
Su Yan was blessed, and the young man opposite returned the salute. In the spirit of curiosity about this cousin, she looked up and looked directly into a pair of clear eyes. The young man was dressed in a light cyan shirt with large sleeves, his eyebrows were sparse, and his posture was outstanding, and he smiled at her gently, just like a spring breeze, and he was pleasant.
At the moment when Su Yan raised his head, Lu Ji only felt that the light of the spring in the garden had faded, and he used almost all the gentleness and caution in his life, and called softly: "Sister Ashu." ”
"Brother Eleven."
Lu Shi looked at the young man and girl in front of him, and his heart was extremely satisfied, among the nephews of his mother's family, only Eleven Lang was worthy of her daughter.
The last time she took her daughter back to her parents' house, Daddy and Auntie both showed a little meaning and wanted Auntie to marry into the Lu family. The eldest brother has three sons, the eldest and second sons are all married, and only the youngest son, Eleven Lang, is the same age as Ah Shu. Listening to A-Niang's meaning, Eleven Lang is very similar to his father, and he is quite blue.
She hadn't said before that she wanted to see Eleven Lang with her own eyes. Now I see it, and I am very satisfied. Thinking about going home that day, I privately explored the meaning of my sister-in-law. If the sister-in-law is interested, there is no need to say it, let the two get along for a while, and wait for each other to be interested, and then make a marriage contract.
Lu thought in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, he only beckoned his sister-in-law and younger siblings to enter, and asked his son to entertain his nephews.
For a while, Wang's elder brother, the current Duke of Wuyi, also arrived with a family.
After Su Yan returned to Beijing, it was the first time he saw his grandmother's mother's family. Under the guidance of my grandmother, I saluted one by one. The Wuyi Mansion is similar to the Lu family, with many children and grandchildren, and few daughters. Seven or eight cousins came today, and indeed there were only two cousins, one of whom was still a concubine. However, the one who came out of the concubine was the only daughter of the prince of Wuyi. It is also the most outstanding among the sisters of the Wang family.
Wang said to several nieces and granddaughters: "You little ladies go to play together, Ah Yue and Ah Shu are well entertained." ”
"Yes." Su Rong and Su Yan were blessed together, and then took the two cousins to another flower hall.
As soon as she entered the flower hall, Su Yunlan saw Wang Shuyun, snorted coldly, passed her and greeted Wang Jing, and took Wang Jing's hand affectionately and wanted to sit together. No, Wang Jing withdrew his hand vigorously, and said indifferently: "I have something to say to Ah Yue." ”
Su Yunlan immediately turned into a gloomy face, bit her red lip hard, and sat down to the side. If it weren't for Wang Jing's cousin being Princess Yang'an, she would be impatient to pay attention to her. A concubine was crushed by a concubine and died of disgrace.
When Su Yunju saw Wang Shuyun, she greeted her, "Ah Shu, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Wang Shuyun reversed her previous cold and proud appearance, held Su Yunju's hand and smiled, she was more delicate in her own life, this smile was like a blooming red rose, charming and moving, "I have sorted out the music score you asked for the day before yesterday." ”
"Thank you so much." Su Yunju said happily.
Su Yan and they were not very familiar with each other, so they sat down at the table at will, and a maid had already brought fragrant tea. Su Rong originally took Wang Jing's hand, and subconsciously chose a place far away from Su Yan to sit down, she didn't want to sit down and be compared to a dog's tail grass. Obviously, Wang Jing has the same meaning with her. But he didn't want to, Wang Shuyun actually came to Su Yan's side.
Su Rong and Wang Jing glanced at each other, and only sighed in their hearts, they saw Wang Shuyun cold and proud on weekdays, but now in front of Su Yan, the cold and glamorous are gone, and even the arrogance is only a layer of skin.
Obviously, Wang Shuyun himself was aware of this, and his smile was unnatural for a moment, "Tenth cousin, can I call you Ashu?" "Sure enough, she is the first beauty of the Great Xia Dynasty who is famous in history, and no matter how beautiful the girl is in front of her, she has to make fluorescents. I don't know, what is the shadow area in Su Rong's heart at this moment?
