On the second day, Qin Wan came to talk to Shang Wanyan again, and at first she still kept talking to the border pass and the military camp, but she didn't mention Shang Xizhou as blatantly as the day before, which made Shang Wanyan breathe a sigh of relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Wan said, seeing that Shang Wanyan's expression was a little sad, she stopped talking and turned to talk about tomorrow's banquet.

After chatting happily yesterday, Qin Wan seemed to feel that her relationship with Shang Wanyan was getting better day by day, so when facing Shang Wanyan, she was less restrained than before, revealing the curious nature of the little lady: "I heard that tomorrow's banquet is very famous, the little ladies are a flower banquet here, and the buddies are a poetry banquet on the side." Poetry hop tea, accounted for half. ”

Yesterday, Shang Wanyan had already asked Jinshu to inquire, Yan Mansion held a banquet this time, most likely to choose a husband for Miss Yan Si, and it was not good to invite men to see each other, so she simply held a banquet and invited all the young masters and ladies in Jindu City to come over.

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old lady like Qin Wan and Shang Wanwan is naturally a little lady of fourteen or fifteen years old, Shang Wanyi, who shows her face more on this occasion, maybe it will be fate in the future.

In the previous dynasty, female infanticide was popular, and the biological mother of Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, was thrown into the mountains by her own father and mother when she was born, and was taken by wolves to eat wolf milk for a few days before being picked up and raised by the hunters in the mountains. When he grew up and got married, Gao Zu actually had an older sister above him, but the sister was strangled to death by Gao Zu's father the moment she was born, and Gao Zu's biological mother was a little crazy from then on.

When Gaozu was weak, Gaozu's biological mother was pregnant again and gave birth to a younger sister, who was strangled to death by her father again, and Gaozu's biological mother went completely crazy. Gaozu killed his father and killed his ancestors in a fit of rage, and then rebelled and became the ancestor of the Great Qi Dynasty. Because of what happened to his mother and sisters and sisters, the first thing Gaozu did after ascending to the throne was to issue a decree punishing infanticide, and the family that gave birth to a daughter in the family was once able to go to the yamen to receive the reward.

After several generations, the folk customs of the Great Qi Dynasty will be so enlightened. Every family no longer kills infants, and large families are not even willing to marry their daughters too early, almost all of them only start to see each other when they are sixteen or seventeen, go out at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and even marry in their twenties.

That's why Shang Wanyu said that Shang Wanyan went to the banquet to please Miss Yan Si to speak for herself, not that Shang Wanyan wanted to pick a good family for herself.

"I heard that the talented people in Jindu City are going to go, and everyone is going to Qiuqiu, will Brother Xi Zhou go to communicate with everyone?" Qin Wan said, "I can't say which lady will be in love, when the gold list is titled, and the good time comes, wouldn't our house be double happy!" ”

Shang Wanyan glanced at Qin Wan, and said in a light tone: "My brother's affairs are decided by my father, and I can't control my brother as a younger sister." ”

Qin Wan was not convinced by this, who in the Wuwei Hou Mansion didn't know that Shang Xizhou regarded Shang Wanyan as a treasure and listened to his sister for everything!

But she didn't care, smiled, and said, "I heard that many people want to marry Miss Yan Si, and I don't know how beautiful this Miss Yan Si is!" ”

Shang Wanyan said: "The queen mother's niece is naturally beautiful. ”

The two of them talked like this, Qin Wan mentioned Shang Xizhou a few times, but quickly diverted the topic, and didn't seem to ask Shang Wanyan about Shang Xizhou's meaning.

Shang Wanyan was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she had nothing to do, she just talked to Qin Wan to pass the time.

Another day passed, and it was the day of the Yan family's banquet. Early in the morning, Shang Wanyan and the others dressed up and got ready to go out.

Naturally, it was impossible for their little ladies to go by themselves, Zhong Xueying took them there. Mrs. Shang wanted to go, maybe Yan Fu also knew that she couldn't be on the stage, so he didn't give her a post. Because it was Zhong Xueying who took someone to go, Second Mrs. Shang detained Shang Wanwan at home and did not allow her to go out.

Yan Mansion is not big, and it is only a few streets away from Wuwei Hou's Mansion. It is said that the Yan family is the descendant of the Yan family in Miaojiang, so many pavilions and garden scenes have some foreign styles, and everyone is very novel.

There are already many people's ladies and misses who have arrived, Mrs. Yan took Miss Yan Si to welcome guests, Mrs. Yan is very sociable, and Miss Yan Si is not a shy person with few words.

Shang Wanyan thought in her heart, Empress Dowager Yan has so many nieces, no wonder she likes this Miss Yan Si the most. If you talk about how good she looks, it won't be enough, but if you talk about her ability to talk and communicate, she has completely obtained the true inheritance of Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan seemed to like Shang Wanyan very much, and took Shang Wanyan's hand and led everyone towards the garden: "I heard that the eldest lady of Wuwei Hou's Mansion Hui Zhenlanxin, but when I looked at it today, the rumors were true...... Except for the eldest princess of Liyang, I have never seen a better looking little lady than you. ”

Shang Wanyan was a little embarrassed by the praise, and reluctantly smiled: "Miss Yan Si is very good." ”

Mrs. Yan shook her head: "Where can she compare with you!" ”

said so in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart, and there was a trace of pride in his eyes...... Miss Yan Si was personally taught by her and her sister-in-law, the Empress Dowager, which is naturally unusual.

Yan Zhenqi turned her head to look at Shang Wanyan and asked, "Do you think I'm very good, but I can compare to you?" ”

She had a smile on her face when she asked this, so Shang Wanyan thought she was joking with herself, and didn't notice the loneliness that flashed in Yan Zhenqi's eyes.

Shang Wanyan smiled and said, "Fourth Sister Yan is where I can compare." ”

Yan Zhenqi bit her lip: "Hypocrisy! ”

If I'm better than you, why doesn't he want me, he wants to like you!

The women of the Shang family didn't know, but Mrs. Yan knew what Yan Zhenqi was thinking, and she joked and wanted to divert the topic, and said to Zhong Xueying: "The current little lady can be spoiled by us, when we used to party when we were young, we only dared to discuss and compare in private, which one is like them, as soon as they meet, they are more energetic!" ”

Mrs. Shang smiled: "There are only a few of them at this time, wait for more little ladies, is it possible that they will hold a beauty competition?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was happy, Shang Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, not caring about everyone's jokes. Miss Yan Si blushed and snorted arrogantly.

When they arrived at the garden, the women of the Shang family found that many people had arrived, and someone reported that the ladies and ladies of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion had come, and Mrs. Yan told Zhong Xueying that she was annoyed and hurried with Yan Zhenqi. Zhong Xueying looked up and saw a few handkerchiefs from her childhood, so she brought Shang Wanyan and others over to talk.

She didn't want to introduce people to Shang Wanyan and others...... She wasn't born, she doesn't care so much about what she does! But I left the little ladies to talk to the handkerchiefs by myself, and it was unpleasant to spread it, so I took them with me.

There is a screen in the garden, and people are setting up tables and pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the other side of the screen, which are prepared for the men's poetry banquet. Because she was afraid of colliding with the female guest, Mrs. Yan's post to the men was posted later, and no one had arrived at this time.

The ladies and ladies looked at the opposite side through the screen that had not yet been set up. (To be continued.) )
