227. Chapter 226

An Sui could often see Yin Qingcheng at the meetings of the household department, and she remembered that he should be the champion of the first men's scientific examination of the Chiwu Dynasty, and she had seen him in the palace examination at that time. It's just that he is really different today than he was then.

At that time, Yin Qingcheng was crazy and rude, but he was talented. Now that he has transformed, he is more calm, although he still faintly reveals the pride he once had in his bones. His talent is also gradually revealed, and he is no longer the arrogant champion he was ten years ago.

Yin Qingcheng also appreciated An Sui a little, but with the relationship between Gongsun Luo, it was somewhat embarrassing, but fortunately, everyone knew a little bit about it, and they didn't have to be embarrassed by each other.

As soon as the matter of the household department was over, An casually went home, but as soon as he got out of the car, he heard Siniang's voice, "It's time to wait for you, a busy man!" ”

The Qian Mansion has always valued its reputation, and An Sui was despised by many ministers of the DPRK because of the Shanglin Yuan incident, so as not to involve the Qian Mansion, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Qian Mansion's invitations were also excused on the grounds that there were many household affairs.

Later, Siniang asked people to send invitations several times, but An Sui never went to the appointment, but she didn't know that this time Siniang actually came to Anfu in person.

This made An Sui slightly embarrassed. hurriedly led Siniang into the house to speak.

"Siniang? What are you doing here? ”

Siniang sighed deliberately, "And ask me why I came?" The few times I sent someone to invite you before, you have to shirk it, and I was still wondering in my heart, is it because Lord An is now in a high official position, so he can't look down on our old friendship in the Qian Mansion. ”

"No, Siniang, I definitely don't mean that in my heart." An Sui hurriedly explained.

Seeing that An Sui was so nervous, Siniang even let go of the last trace of doubt, "Okay, if I don't believe you, how can I come to you today." Father said, "You don't dare to get close to us because of your reputation, for fear of endangering us." ”

An Sui was said to be in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.

Siniang took An Sui's hand, "Actually, don't think about it, it's true that our Qian Mansion is famous, but don't we value you?" Although we haven't been in touch for many years before, I still remember our relationship in the mansion in the past, not to mention that you often ask Xianggong about me, and I understand it in my heart. ”

An Sui could only nod, "I am helpless in Beijing, and my uncle and aunt take care of me, and I also understand in my heart that I don't want to embarrass my uncle and aunt." ”

"If you don't want to embarrass your father and mother, it's right!" Siniang saw that An Sui had relieved herself, so she slapped the table and said her intention, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will set up a banquet in the garden, and I have also invited many friends from the Qian Mansion and the Cai family to come, and you will come with you." ”

Siniang took out an invitation card from her sleeve and stuffed it into An Sui's hand, "I can't help but give me face this time, even if you don't give it to me, it's better to give my father and mother a thin noodle!" I've personally invited me to the door, and if I don't come, we'll be broken! ”

After that, Siniang left directly.

Leave An Sui to look at this invitation and cry and laugh. No wonder Siniang personally came to the house to invite someone, and said that kind of affectionate words, it turned out that they were all paving the way for the final matter, and they couldn't shirk it every word.

She is also the Zoe of the dignified Honglu Temple, and she has been in the harem and the court for so many years, but in the end, she was planted on this person-like Siniang.

Siniang had prepared a qiē in the garden early, and the guests arrived one after another, and Qian Sizhong was also entangled by his daughter, so he could only come to the banquet in the end.

When Cai Xiang saw his father-in-law coming, he hurriedly bowed down to greet him, "I really feel ashamed to ask my father-in-law to come to work." ”

Qian Sizhong saw Siniang not far away, patted Cai Xiang's shoulder and said, all with a little sympathy and helplessness, "My daughter, I really bothered you, tossing and turning like this, you can give her a few more points." ”

Siniang likes to toss things when she is at home, and Qian Sizhong sometimes has to feel a lot of headaches. But after Siniang married into the Cai family, he often worried that the relationship between the husband and wife would be bad, but he didn't want Cai Xiang to say a word about Siniang over the years, and she liked everything.

Cai Xiang smiled, "Father-in-law, don't say that, it's also my blessing to be able to marry Siniang, and now it's best if she likes it." ”

Although Qian Sizhong sometimes knows the shortcomings of Siniang's character, as a father, it is not that he can't understand his son-in-law's embarrassment, but if there is really something, he will still stand on his daughter's side. And Cai Xiang was able to protect his daughter so generously, I have to say that I was also very moved, so I also liked my son-in-law even more, and I couldn't help but protect him in everything.

It's a pity that Siniang didn't hear her father speak like this, otherwise she would have to toss for a while, and she looked out of the door with all her thoughts.

finally saw An Sui's carriage arrive at the door, so she immediately lifted her skirt and ran to the door, and picked up An Sui in, "Sui'er!" The better hours are coming, and I thought you were going to break my appointment again. If you don't come again, I really won't pay attention to you anymore. ”

"You said so, how dare I not come!" An Sui smiled, and then saw Qian Sizhong and Cai Xiang, and stepped forward to greet him first, "Uncle!" Lord Cai. ”

Siniang pulled An Sui and said angrily, "You still have to be like this, calling my father an uncle, calling me a sister, but I am an adult?" Speaking of which, you are also old acquaintances! ”

An Sui was a little embarrassed, "It's indeed old knowledge." ”

Siniang looked at An Sui stunned, and couldn't help but smile and give her the answer, "You call me sister, naturally he is a brother-in-law!" ”

Cai Xiang took Siniang's hand and smiled dotingly, "Siniang, don't be so embarrassed by Lord An." It doesn't matter what the name is, it's all old friends. ”

"I know, you call Sui'er like this, where does Sui'er dare to call you brother-in-law, you change your mouth first."

Cai Xiang was helpless when Siniang's eyes saw it, and smiled at An Sui awkwardly, "Miss Sui!" ”

Cai Xiang also spoke, and An Sui also replied, "Fourth brother-in-law." ”

"That's right!" Siniang saw that the two of them changed their names according to her meaning, so they gave up, and several people went to the garden together.

The garden was already very lively, several dignified literati were already there, and in the pavilion behind him, there were also several poetry platforms, on which pen, ink, paper and inkstones had been placed.

Uncle Qian walked in first, and Cai Xiang introduced with a smile, "This is my father-in-law, Siniang invited me to judge the poem today." ”

After everyone saw the ceremony, one of the most handsome sons saw An Sui standing beside Siniang, and asked Cai Xiang with a smile, "This girl is a face, I don't know which one it is?" ”

Siniang pulled An Sui to the front of the son, "This is my sister, didn't you say last time that the poetry of the girl's family is always inferior to your man's?" Today, I will bring a female poet to open your eyes, and don't say anything about daughters who are not as good as men. Obviously, Siniang is extremely familiar with the sons in front of her, and she doesn't need to be honorific when she speaks, "Sui'er, these are all friends of your brother-in-law, this surname is Liu, called Liu Ming, and the next few sons are Wu Zong, Nian Shengmin, Huang Yinhao and Meng Hui. ”

After An Sui saw the ceremony one by one, the sons also politely called her Miss Sui.

Cai Xiang walked out, "Today is the end of April, and they all say, 'The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom'." So today I originally wanted to use this as the theme, but the peach blossom alone is a bit old-fashioned, so the following means that whatever you write is the theme, the image of the peach blossom will inevitably appear in the poem. ”

Siniang continued, "Is there any limit to rhyme? ”

"Naturally, there is no limit."

Cai Xiang is the one who wrote the question, so naturally she didn't participate, Siniang was also a little interested, she is also a person who can write poetry, but the previous time when Liu Ming was out of the test, he laughed at a few words about women's poetry skills are not as good as men's words, she was obviously not convinced, so this time she also pulled An Sui to come anyway.

The rules of the poetry club are that there is no limit to the rhyme of writing poems, but there must be a time limit, and the poems are limited to a stick of incense.

Everyone was looking for inspiration, and Siniang leaned in front of An Sui and said, "Although, you also understand why I have to invite you here today!" These stinky men all said that women are not as good as men in writing poetry, and they also enjoy a certain reputation in the capital. I can't compare to them, and the only way I want to come is to find you. ”

An Sui sighed softly, "Don't say it, this is really embarrassing for me." ”

When An Sui was in the palace, he often had to go to banquets or something in the palace, and occasionally wrote some poems to meet the occasion, but after going to the border, he naturally spent less effort on poetry, at most, he wrote a few sentences when he exchanged letters with Ji Xuanyuan.

An Sui sighed secretly in his heart, Siniang's request was really more embarrassing than Xing Hou wishing to paint a picture by himself!

Writing out the peach blossoms, naturally I want to enjoy the peach blossoms, except for An Sui and Liu Ming, the rest of the people went to the peach orchard in the garden to find inspiration.

Liu Ru was thinking about something, and when he raised his eyes, he saw An Sui holding a peach blossom and leaning against the railing to play with the water, pondering something.

After the end of the household meeting, An went back to the house to change his clothes, and then came to Cai's house, so he wore his usual clothes on weekdays, a light blue waist coat, a moon-white wide-sleeved robe, and a loose moon bun at the back of his head, and only used a moon hairpin to tie his hair, in addition, there was no other decoration in the hair. And her face is fair, and her eyebrows naturally form a whisk, she did not put a heavy powder on her face, but a light layer of white plum powder on her face, but she was a little indifferent. It doesn't feel disrespectful or too deliberate.

This is not quite the same as Liu Ming has seen many women in the past.
