Chapter 82: The Hundred Flowers of the Qionghua Banquet Bloom
The sky is slowly brightening, the spring sun is warm but not dazzling, sprinkling a faint soft little light rain, the green leaves with rain and dew are shining, and more and more people are gathering in Qionghua Villa. οΌ.οΌ
This is to see the lively people in the vicinity, some of them also skillfully set up tea stalls, dim sum stalls, and the most are the head flower stalls, rouge stalls, kite stalls...... It's like a market, and it's become an annual ritual.
The elder brother takes the younger brother, and the older sister takes the younger sister......
Most of the people who come are nearby, and at this time of year, it will be particularly lively. Although I know that it is difficult to see those beautiful young ladies, after all, they are not girls in the yard, how can you see them whenever you want? However, it's not bad to meet those pretty girls. It's just a young lady from an ordinary family, and some can't catch up with a girl next to someone!
In addition to some nearby villagers, some others are also very eye-catching.
That is the scholars who are dressed in various colored robes, exude a Sven atmosphere, and claim to be talented people. Several of the most famous academies in the capital are outside the city, and they are not too far from this Qionghua Villa. At this time, it is also the most frequent time for several colleges to meet friends in literature. As for the location, of course, it is one acre and three points of land around this Qionghua Villa.
Even many talented people who went to the capital to take the exam from other places have come out of the hard study, and they say that they can relax before the exam, sober their minds, and meet the most important challenge in their lives in the best state.
Of course, such activities are indispensable for doing poetry or something.
Not to mention, there are a lot of excellent works every year, after all, those who can come to the Jinshi examination are still at some level in their stomachs, and there are many amazing talents.
Princess Pingyang also admires talents very much, if someone really makes an outstanding work and can get into her eyes, she will never be stingy with a Qionghua sub-post.
This is also the only opportunity for these talented people who do not have enough family background to get close to these famous ladies, so there are many marriages that have been achieved.
Xishan Academy is only ten miles away from Qionghua Villa, and the students of the academy will naturally not miss such a grand event. They wore moon-white robes embroidered with the logo of Xishan Academy, all of them were like cranes among people, which attracted the attention of many girls.
"Look, it's from Xishan Academy, they're here."
"Is it the Four Heroes of the West Mountain? Let me see, just show me. β
"You're so beautiful, it's only the first day, how can people appear? Do you think people are just like you silly boys, just looking at those little girls and being satisfied? People are different from you, so why did they come on the first day? I'm just waiting for the Qionghua to start tomorrow! β
"Joan Flowers? What is Qionghua? β
"I don't know anything. I'll tell you one by one, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it next year. Look, you'll know tomorrow. β
"Look at the shirts, I heard that as long as you pass the exam, you will have four sets per person. Dressed with a lot of spirit. β
"Well, it would be nice if I could get in, too."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that Xishan Academy is one of the four largest and most famous academies in Beijing, and the other three academies are Dongling Wenyuan, Nanxi Xiuguan and Beiquan Jingge. Among them, the Nanxi Show Hall only accepts women, and Liu Ru of Hanlin Mansion, a famous talented woman in Beijing, was once a student here and is known as the most outstanding one here. Otherwise, Liu Ru is such a low-key person, and she has not done anything sensational, and she will not become famous in the capital.
Being watched by everyone with such envy, all the students of Xishan Academy were even more full of spring breeze, only one of them was about half a head taller than everyone, slender and athletic, handsome face, and slightly dark complexion, but he was frowning a pair of sword eyebrows, and he didn't look very good.
The classmate next to him didn't seem to notice his bad mood, and specially told him.
"Brother Shuhan, take a good look, don't miss the Miss Hong family of the 'No. 1 Beauty in Beijing'. I'm all here for her today. β
"Yes, Brother Shuhan, we can count on you. Who told you that you and Miss Hongqi are both from Qinghe County? Except for you, relying on ourselves, even if we are given a hundred years, we can't find it. β
"That's, that's it, Brother Shuhan. By the way, isn't your father the county magistrate of Qinghe County? Speaking of which, you should have seen the seventh lady of the Hong family, right? How's that, is it really as beautiful as the legend says? β
It was Mei Shuhan who was surrounded in the middle, he was sent to the academy in the capital to study, and the willingness of the Da Jia clan was to let him forget the grievances and grievances with Hong Qi, but he never thought that Hong Qi would also come to the capital.
Because of the questioning of his classmates, the figure of Hong Qi appeared in his mind, and after a few months, Mei Shuhan couldn't remember what Red Qi looked like. However, the feeling of seeing Hong Qi at that time seemed to be revived again because of memories. The heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and it hurt so hard that it hurt. I never thought that there would be someone so beautiful that it hurts my heart.
However, no matter how beautiful it is, the heart is so poisonous, and it harms more people.
Mei Shuhan's eyes were cold, Hong Qi, the hatred of the senior brother, the hatred of the aunt, these, I will definitely ask you for the reads;. Laugh now, the more you smile, the worse you will fall!
At this time, someone shouted in surprise: "Look, look, there is a carriage coming." β
At this time, it will be the end of the hour, the beginning of the hour.
Today's second carriage, the first carriage in the eyes of everyone, finally arrived in the limelight slowly.
"Great!"
I don't know who started, it was sparse at first, and slowly became more and more enthusiastic, and applause rang out all over the mountains, making this perennially lonely Qionghua Valley begin to boil.
All eyes were on the first carriage that was slowly entering.
Of course, no one dared to make trouble, because at this time, the Jingwei Mansion had already dispatched soldiers to line up along both sides of the road outside the gate of Qionghua Villa to the official road.
Outside the gate of the capital city to the official road connecting Qionghua Valley, there are many squads patrolling, and if there is any situation, they can arrive at the first time.
You must know that among these daughters attending the meeting, which one is not delicate and expensive, if there is a mistake, it will be a big joke. Attended the banquet of the royal princess, but something happened, and when it came out, where is the majesty of the royal family? It's just that the elders of the father's clan don't say hello, the princess doesn't speak, and the Jingwei Mansion dares to ignore it?
In the capital, what they want to do is to prevent trouble.
If something really happens, then wait to lose your hat, if you don't do it well, maybe your life will be gone. Therefore, those who can sit in this seat are very cautious. It's better to be a soldier than to regret it afterwards. Some things, once they happen, are irreversible.
Therefore, the people dispatched by the Jingwei Mansion are all elites, and they do not bring a single old, weak, sick or disabled person.
The crowd kept pushing forward, but none of them could break through their blockade.
In the eyes of everyone, the carriage kept moving forward, and finally, in front of the gate of Qionghua Villa, the coachman and the palace maid who came to meet were already waiting.
The pretty little girl had already got out of the carriage, and stretched out her arm to help the young lady out of the carriage.
The young lady half-poked her head out.
"Alas!"
The crowd sighed.
Veil, see veil again!
Damn it, they're coming for people, who wants to see what veil?
The crowd was extremely depressed. However, fortunately, after many experiences of this kind of thing, they have long been accustomed to this kind of blow. Therefore, after sighing, everyone should do what they should do.
For example, I moved my eyes to the girl's back, and after a while, I sent the young lady back to see the real thing. Look at this figure, like wicker, it is definitely a beauty embryo.
Just then, suddenly the wind blew.
"Ah, miss, your veil ......"
The girl screamed.
Because of this accidental spring breeze, the Qionghua banquet appeared for the first time in an incident where the beautiful face of the lady was seen by people outside. Long after the young lady was gone, someone whined, "See! See! After ten years of waiting, I finally saw it. β
The bystanders looked at him in amazement.
Dude, how persistent should you be? It seems that the Qionghua banquet has only been held for ten years. The old man replied: You don't understand the mind of the brainless fan.
And the young lady who had already entered the village listened to the voice of thanking God and thanking the spring breeze outside, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile.
"Idiot, Miss Ben is God."
Naturally, the people outside could not hear this.
This huge sound naturally also spread to the palace, Princess Pingyang heard it, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and politely said to a woman in her thirties who was sitting opposite, dressed plainly and with an elegant face: "This year, I will ask you." β
The woman smiled and said: "Where is it, thanks to the blessing of the princess, we can come to see the demeanor of the ladies in the capital, we can't ask for it, we should thank the princess." β
Even in front of the princess of the dynasty, the woman was neither humble nor arrogant, very natural, and did not look trembling. Not to mention anything else, this kind of everyone's temperament alone is also very extraordinary.
Who is this woman?
With the beginning, the rest is fast. One after another, the hosts of the three hundred and sixty-nine Qionghua banquets arrived. Naturally, a good thing as serendipitous as the first carriage never happened again. After all, how can the appearance of our young lady be allowed to be spied on by ordinary people?
However, on the first day of this Qionghua Banquet, there were really a few very different characters.
The first, naturally, was the girl who accidentally lost her veil. Everyone praised her as white as snow, innocent and beautiful, making people love and pity, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, just like a red plum in the snow, stunning blooming. Some people even compared her with Hong Qi and the "Four Beauties of Beijing", saying that her beauty must not be inferior to them.
The second is a girl in red riding a white horse with a hat, the horse is as white as snow, and the person is as red as a sun, like a red bird, galloping by amazingly. But no one knows who she is.
The third girl, I don't know its origin, when the girl helped her down, she leaned on the girl's body in a human form, her head was still little by little, obviously she didn't wake up from a good dream, which made everyone laugh.
The fourth was a girl with a black veil and a black dress, and as soon as she came out, for some reason, everyone felt their hearts tremble, as if something bad would happen.
Because of their appearance, this year's Qionghua Banquet can be said to be off to a good start, and it provides so much talking on the first day, which is rare in the past.
It's just that until the sun sets, the last carriage also slowly drove into Qionghua Villa, until, the gate of Qionghua Villa slowly closed, and the red seven that everyone in Xishan Academy wanted to see was still missing, which was disappointing.
"Shuhan, did Red Seven really not come?"
Everyone asked without giving up.
Mei Shuhan shook his head: "I don't know, it's too much, and I can't figure it out." Mei Shuhan said vaguely, but he was very sure in his heart that there was absolutely no red seven in these carriages.
The woman, didn't come? Count her lucky enough to have escaped this one. Mei Shuhan is not the only one who cares about this issue. Moreover, Cheng DΓΉ cares more than them.
