The time entered the third day of the Qionghua Banquet, that is, the second day after the first banquet, that is, the second day after Jiang Lihua, Liang Yunyun and others left. (.)

Without the strong smell of gunsmoke on the first day, this day, the sun is high and warm, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the birds are crying, the wicker is threaded, and the flowers are blooming, which is an excellent day.

Even the air smells very peaceful.

With the lessons of Jiang Lihua, Liang Yunyun and others, some people who were originally a little impatient seemed to have temporarily rested their thoughts.

Besides, as Ximen Shuang said, as Xiuzhen and the information provided to Hongqi before the rain, Qionghua Banquet has always been a relatively benign and easy trip for aristocratic ladies to play, compete, make friends, and go on a blind date.

But once the situation turns vicious and loses control, it is not Princess Pingyang's original intention.

This event was not frequent, it was sudden and accidental. Of course, if it is not guided and controlled, it will be difficult to say.

Therefore, after this incident, Princess Pingyang spread the word that she did not want similar things to happen during the Qionghua Banquet. As soon as these words came out, even those who were unwilling and were secretly planning something had to weigh it, and they still couldn't do it. After all, this Qionghua Villa is no better than one's own one-third of an acre of land, if it is not good, it is not cost-effective to compensate oneself.

For a while, the Qionghua banquet entered an unprecedented period of peace.

Even those who have had a holiday with each other, and often you rolled my eyes, and I sneered at you with bad intentions, and when we met at this time, they also smiled and said to each other, "Miss Zhang, you got up so early today" "Miss Li, the flowers in your hands are so beautiful, where did you pick them?" I'm afraid that anyone will see some signs of discord, and they will have a bad impression in the ears of the princess and the ladies.

In Qionghua Villa, spring is full of love and harmony.

Whether to talk to three or two friends, or to enjoy the scenery and butterflies in the garden, let it be your will.

Some people may ask, in this case, how were the top four of the Qionghua Banquet finally selected? Don't you have to engage in a ring, compete for talents, show your appearance, sing and dance, shout in support and vote for me or something?

After hearing this, it is estimated that everyone will give you a roll of the eye.

Who are they? They are all the most outstanding daughters in the capital and even the Great Xia Dynasty, and they are not famous prostitutes who sell jokes in the building, how can they engage in any Oiran competition like them? Set up a platform for others to judge?

Moreover, everyone's ladies are more beautiful than what kind of singing and dancing, and they are not lowly servants. That's what they know, it's just to cultivate their temperament. If you dance well, you will be a daughter, and not all of them can be the same as the top names in the pear orchard and the oiran in the building.

Therefore, the selection of the Qionghua Banquet is actually very casual, however, casual does not mean casual.

Princess Pingyang would invite nine virtuous and knowledgeable ladies to stay in Qionghua Villa, and these ladies would send out posts inviting some ladies to attend their parties, some of which were reading clubs, to talk about their views on the characters in a certain book; Some are poetry clubs, propositions are poems; Some are paintings, pianos, and chess......

If you are interested in the semi-finals, you can participate, and if you get the blue eyes of that lady, you will naturally have hope to be shortlisted in the end; Even if you don't think about the top four, most of them will go, and you can say a few words to those ladies to leave a good impression, and when others ask about it, that lady will say a good word, which is more useful than the matchmaker saying a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Therefore, although it is not a mandatory requirement, most of the ladies who come will participate, but if they don't go all, they will also pick a few that they are particularly good at. The ladies who can come here, which one doesn't have a few unique skills?

However, the ladies' meetings generally begin on the ninth day.

These days, but it is free, and there is no arrangement.

Because some ladies themselves do not live in the capital, they also need to rest and recuperate. Moreover, you can also let the ladies who come get to know each other and meet new friends.

Therefore, today's Qionghua Villa is completely alive, and you can see this dragging that hand everywhere, introducing who and who is with her; The two were chasing butterflies in the garden, and they happened to bump into each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and exchanged names and surnames.

Everywhere was the laughter of young women, and even the wind seemed to blow exceptionally brightly.

Among them, there are particularly popular ones, such as Ximen Shuang, as the daughter of King Xichuan, the first county lord to participate in the Qionghua banquet, surrounded by people.

Another example is Shangguan Rong of the British Mansion, which is also one. In addition to Ximen Shuang, the county lord, her family background was the most prominent.

and Liu Ruyi, although her father's official position is not high, he is only a Hanlin, but everyone knows that the emperor values her father, and who dares to underestimate her?

……

The popularity of these upstarts in the Qionghua Banquet is of course extremely high, but as Mei Zifang and Zhou Zihua, who have participated in the Qionghua Banquet for three consecutive years and have been shortlisted for the semifinals twice, they will naturally not be far behind. However, Mei Zifang has an arrogant and cold temperament, so in comparison, Zhou Zihua is more lively here.

There are those who are popular, and there are naturally those who are not very popular, or even very poor.

Among them, such as Hong Qi, although the "Qionghua Expulsion Order" was stopped by Ximen Shuang, but there was no half of her door, which was really deserted.

Among them, there are certainly some people who are taboo about her beauty and do not want to be with her and become her foil. But this is not the main thing, there are still people who are curious about Red Seven and have a heart. It's just that Hong Qi hasn't gone out, and she didn't live in the capital before, so no one knows her, so it's not good to come to the door. After all, Hong Qi's family background is there, and the foundation is the thinnest, and those ladies are willing to come to her low. If Red Seven took the initiative to invite, it would be about the same.

Hu Lingling, Jiang Qin, Hei Tong, and Zhan Feng of the "Lingmeng" are treated similarly to Red Seven, but the reason is different, they are not as good as Red Seven, although Red Seven's foundation is thin, the family is a landlord, and the poems and books are heirlooms, and Red Seven's father is also a showman and has a meritorious reputation. And several of them are either from businessmen or doctors, Hei Tong's family background is even more difficult to say, the only slightly stronger Zhan Feng, her father is a general.

However, the name is just a little majestic, the Daxing Dynasty emphasizes literature and light on martial arts, it is a small Qipin Zhi County, and in the face of the general, you dare to be polite.

With such a group of people, it is natural that they are treated coldly.

For this kind of cold treatment, the red seven places are calm, peaceful, and even welcome.

For her, the influence of her career in her previous life has been deeply rooted in her bone marrow, and although she doesn't have to do anything in this life, the habits she can develop cannot be changed overnight.

Rather than being surrounded by everyone to be in the limelight, she prefers to hide quietly in the dark and wait to move. Exposing herself to others always makes her feel insecure. It's as if someone is observing themselves in the dark, and if you're not careful, you'll be stabbed by someone else. People who do this kind of thing often inevitably feel that others may do the same to them.

Therefore, people, it is better to live frankly and honestly, and to be worthy of a good heart.

Hong Qi envies those who live in the sun, smiling so carefree, living steadfastly, not deliberately guarding, beware, and suspicious, and can trust people and be trusted......

This kind of life is so precious to Red Seven.

Because, she once had; And because, she can't have it anymore.

Some things, lost are lost, and it is impossible to turn back time. Life has long turned her into what she is now, and in the past, she can only see it in memories and in the smiling faces of others. Even if she thought about it, she couldn't be her old self again. What happened has already been seared into life.

The current Red Seven still likes the sun, but it has become a part of the darkness.

That's why she can face this kind of cold treatment so dismissively.

However, not everyone is like her, who can face this qiē calmly, at least not Hu Lingling. After only one morning, she was a little restless and restless. Although he shouted, "They don't rare us, do we scarce them", but after all, my heart is uncomfortable.

The others, although not as obvious as her, are not so comfortable.

Jiang Qin's speed of eating dim sum has decreased a lot; Hei Tong's embroidery needle did not fall on the embroidery handkerchief this time; Zhan Feng's knife cut down, and he didn't pull it out for a long time.

Although they already felt this rejection at the beginning, they simply went to make friends with Red Seven in a high-profile manner. But it's one thing to feel, it's another thing to experience it in person.

Being looked down upon and excluded is still a big thing for a little girl of this age.

According to the previous agreement, when Hong Qi came to witness the accession ceremony of Wu Qunqun and Ning Cairuo, he felt a burst of low pressure. However, as soon as he saw someone coming, Hu Lingling immediately raised a small face and greeted Hong Qi warmly. She is really a kind little girl with a general knowledge and a good personality, even if she is a little shrewd and calculating, she will not be annoying.

After that, Wu Qunqun, Ning Cairuo, and Liu Rushi also came one after another.

Seeing Liu Rus, Hu Lingling said apologetically: "Sister Liu, I didn't think it through. You should be very busy today, I just have Sister Hong here, you go and get busy with yours. ”

Liu Ru smiled: "I will only agree if I have time, and if I don't have time, I won't reluctantly read it myself;." If you drive me away, you will despise me. Think I can't even arrange that little entertainment? ”

Jiang Hongqi and Liu Ru came as promised, and Wu Qunqun and Ning Cairuo did not lose their trust.

Hu Lingling's spirits lifted a little, the joining ceremony was very simple, it was a little bloody, and he was going to cut his fingers, Wu Qunqun did it excitedly, but, after doing it, Wow Wow shouted "It hurts" and "It hurts to death"; Ning Cairuo did it with a slight frown, but after he was done, he didn't say a word, winning the admiration of Hu Lingling, Jiang Qin, and Zhan Feng. Their original appearance was not much stronger than Wu Qunqun, but they didn't expect Ning Cairuo, who seemed to be weak in Wenwen, to be so tough. It's only a little worse than Heitong. But, Hei Tong, can people compare with her, a living zombie?

Several people worshipped the gods of heaven and earth in front of the incense case, and said nonsense such as "sharing weal and woe", "sharing wealth and hardship", "if there is betrayal, the sky will thunder and thunder, and it will not be good to die", and this matter is over.

It's just that when he read the oath of membership, Ning Cairuo couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know who wrote it.

It was Wu Qunqun, who read it enthusiastically, and felt that this was much more fun than those poetry clubs or something.

After finishing this, a few people sat and gossip, Liu Ru was sensitive, and it didn't take long for him to find out the loss of Hu Lingling and a few people from just a few words, so he smiled and invited: "Why don't you come to my Xiting tomorrow to play!" There will be a lot of people coming, so it should be very lively. ”

She said this with good intentions, but as soon as the words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Hu Lingling's eyes lit up at first, and in the end, Hu Lingling still refused, and then brought the topic over. It's just that the atmosphere after that will never return to what it was before.

When Hong Qi saw it, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I look at this Qionghua Villa, there is nothing interesting in it." It's just a larger garden than home, with a few more houses, rockeries, and water. There is nothing unusual about it. I heard her say before the rain, from now on, it will be lively outside, what kind of flowers, selling things, flying kites, it's so fun. I was thinking that Ming'er would quietly go out for a while, but he was just a little timid, and he was a little afraid. If you guys are okay, would you like to go out with me? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Then, Hu Lingling's eyes lit up suddenly, and then, his face turned red with excitement. She clapped her hands and laughed, "That's right! How did we not think of it? My little sister has convinced you. Boss Red, let's go out together tomorrow! ”
