Chapter 34 Hearing the flute before anyone saw it
Everyone gossiped for a while, and then saw a dressed lady surrounded by maids, she was wearing a silver-red butterfly and peony pattern Song Jin pipa blouse, under the cold smoke purple embroidery and Ruyi pattern Luo skirt, black pressed hair pulled into a hundred flower buns, hairpins with a golden phoenix out of the cloud and gold rolling jade step swaying, a crystal clear ruby pendant shining on the sideburns, more and more she is glamorous, rich and indescribable. Everyone here knows that this is the host of today's banquet, Princess Tongfu, who stepped forward to bow down.
Although Princess Tongfu was born a little heroic, she smiled gently and looked very amiable. She raised her hand slightly and said, "No need to be polite." The peony flowers in my house are blooming very well, and I thought that it would be a pity if no one appreciated them, so I invited all the daughters to enjoy the flowers, so that I could also touch the vitality of your young people, and I don't have to be rigid about etiquette today. ”
Although she said so, which woman in the audience dared to be presumptuous, so she naturally agreed, but the rules were still according to etiquette.
I only heard a woman say: "The princess is just in Shaohua, the country is beautiful, and the demeanor is beyond my expectations, where can we call young people in vain." ”
It is also true that what this woman said is that Princess Tongfu is only in her early twenties, and she is beautiful and noble, so she deserves such praise. It's just that everyone looked at the woman with a very disdainful expression, and it is said that there is also a relationship.
This daughter is the granddaughter of Cheng Xianbo, whose name is Fang Yazhen. Uncle Chengxian's Mansion sounds like it is also a noble house, but it is already an empty shelf. This title ended here in Fang Yazhen's grandfather's generation, and her father was a figure who ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled, and his ancestor's inheritance had already been ruined. The huge family only relied on Fang Yazhen's mother to work hard, so they married several concubines to a wealthy merchant family.
To say that although there is no discrimination against businessmen nowadays, the status of pure businessmen is indeed not high. The so-called pure businessman family refers to the fact that there is no one in the family, and they are all engaged in business, which is essentially different from those noble and scholarly families who put some shops to add input.
Because of this, Fang Yazhen's sisters are definitely low-married, and some people in Beijing talk about Fang Yazhen's mother selling her concubine Yunyun in order to maintain her livelihood in the house, and even look down on Fang Yazhen a little, saying that she will drill the camp like her mother. In addition, the Fang family released a rumor early, saying that they were going to send Fang Yazhen into the palace, which made some people look down on them even more. Those ladies who were set to enter the palace in the family regarded them as competitors, and naturally they would not give any good looks.
However, in Jiang Suoyue's opinion, Fang Yazhen's mother is much more humane than Jiang Tian's, at least she didn't let her concubine suffer domestic violence or be widowed early. Although the Shangjia family is not good, but the life is always lived by themselves, Jiang Wanyue and the others look good at marrying well, but in fact, they are living a life that is worse than death, and they may not be as happy as the sisters of the Fang family.
Princess Tongfu also seemed to be affected by the rumors, and the other party Yazhen was a little faint, just glanced at her with a smile, and said to everyone: "Take a seat." ”
A group of warblers and swallows sat down separately, and some maids had already stepped forward with a screen and placed them in front of the women, and another maid stepped forward to offer fragrant tea and melon and fruit snacks.
The people knew that young men would be present at the peony feast, so they were separated by screens, and they sat down as usual. It's just that they are chatting about Yao Huang and Wei Zi in front of them, but their eyes are full of anticipation, nervousness and shyness from time to time.
The lady on the table was chatting with Princess Tongfu, but there was a flute sound in the distance, like a filament, fluttering and waving as if it was about to go with the wind immediately, but it was tenacious and endless, gently tugging at the heartstrings. Gradually, it seemed that the flute player was getting closer, and the sound of the flute became clearer. Its voice is clear, as if it is straight into the sky; Its sound is ethereal, like the murmuring of a stream. People can't help but be attracted by the sound of this flute, and gradually indulge in it, with a sense of floating out of the dust and being intoxicated.
At the end of the song, the women at the banquet showed admiration and curiosity, but because of their reserve, it was not easy to ask directly who the flute was.
After all, Princess Tongfu is also a person who came over at this age, so she didn't know what these girls were thinking, so she also smiled and said: "The kid from the Wang family of Rong'an County is showing off his skills again." ”
The women said in their hearts, it turned out to be the son of the Wang family of Rong'an County, and they didn't expect that this prince would have such superb flute skills in addition to the rumored appearance of Pan An. Some of those who have floating thoughts have expectations, red clouds appear on their faces, and there is a faint expectation in their eyes, among which is Jiang Jiaoyue.
After a while, a young man's voice came, and a group of people came out from the flower stand, it was the young man who went to the banquet this time. The first few people wearing moon-white brocade robes should be the prince of Rong'an County who played the flute, but seeing that his face is like a crown of jade, his temples are like a knife, his eyes are like stars, his body is long, and he has a green flute pinned to his waist.
Jiang Suoyue secretly compared it to Xiao Yan, these two are the most top-notch she has seen so far, if Xiao Yan is uninhibited charm, this one in front of her is gentle and elegant. Thinking of Xiao Yan, she swept over Jiang Jiaoyue intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that she really had an obsessive look on her face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Jiaoyue really couldn't resist such a man in the wind of Yushu, but this was also a good thing for herself. If Jiang Jiaoyue falls in love with the prince of Rong'an County, with her temperament, she will definitely refuse to enter the palace, if she really doesn't have to enter the palace, Jiang Zhaolin will bet all her hopes and resources on herself, and the future opportunities and Aunt Ning will be treated differently. Secondly, in order to fulfill her daughter's thoughts, the Jiang Tian clan will definitely not let herself have an accident, because once she has an accident, Jiang Jiaoyue will become the only candidate to enter the palace. Then, in the days before entering the palace, she can be safer.
It seems that if she has the opportunity, she must add some more heat to make Jiang Jiaoyue desperately want to marry the prince of Rong'an County. However, whether she can marry or not will have nothing to do with her.
Jiang Jiaoyue is really excited in her heart at this moment, she has always regretted that she failed to marry Xiao Yan, but when the two met, Xiao Yan already had a marriage contract, and Xiao Yan still took a fancy to the sister she hated the most. I thought that I would never have the opportunity to see such an extraordinary man in my life, but I didn't want to see a comparable and valuable person today who was a little more valuable than Xiao Yan.
It's just that now she has also learned to be obedient, and before she finds out the situation of this prince of the county, she can only temporarily press a throbbing heart, and she can't wait for someone to tell her how old this person is, but she has a marriage contract, and she has a sweetheart.
Soon, her wish came true.
