Chapter 55: The Second Sister
After the afternoon, when the sun sets in the west, it is the time for the daughters of the Jiang Mansion to go to the Lantern Festival.
The rest of the Jiang Mansion will also go with them, but they will not go to the Linglong boat, but enjoy the lanterns of the whole capital at the restaurant on the shore.
The coachman waited in front of the house early, and Jiang Susu took the lead in getting into the car and beckoned Jiang Ruan and a few people to come up. Jiang Li and Jiang Dan also sat in the same carriage as Jiang Ruan, and several guards from the Jiang Mansion followed, and sent them to the Yongding River, where Linglong Fang was already waiting.
Although the Linglong Boat is held spontaneously by the aristocratic women in Beijing, in fact, it is also used in the palace every year. is not the queen, but the hottest lady today, that is, the biological mother of the eighth prince. Concubine Shu has been favored by the saint, and even the queen has to be afraid of her status in the palace, and her mother's family is even more wealthy, so she categorically disregards a few of these silvers, and generously packs the annual lantern festival on the exquisite boat and the green pine boat, saying that it is just a lively picture, and the deep meaning of it is unknown.
The carriage drove slowly on the road in Beijing, Jiang Li and Jiang Dan, as concubines, participated in the Lantern Festival for the first time today, Jiang Dan bowed his head timidly and was silent, Jiang Li looked a little eager, if it weren't for Jiang Ruan and Jiang Susu, they would have opened the curtain and looked out.
Jiang Ruan was closing his eyes and recuperating, when Jiang Susu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What kind of talent does the big sister know?" β
Sure enough, Jiang Ruan sneered in his heart, but raised his eyes in surprise and said: "I don't know anything, why did the second sister ask this?" β
"Why should the eldest sister be so modest," Jiang Susu pretended to be angry: "Is it possible for my sister to be shy?" The eldest sister doesn't know that every year on the exquisite boat of the Lantern Festival, each lady has to show her talent to win the first prize, if you can win, you can get the most beautiful lantern on the boat. β
Jiang Ruan lowered his head and muttered: "It sounds interesting, but I really can't at all." β
"How so?" Jiang Susu said: "When the eldest mother was here, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't believe that she had never taught you. Her tone was innocent, as if she was really a frank and sincere little girl, and her words were full of anger. At the beginning of Jiang's mansion, no one knew that Zhao Meiyi's daughter, who had never been born in a martial arts family, was willing to learn the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting for Jiang Quan, but she was not favored. And the crepe things she barely learned for Jiang Quan were as naΓ―ve as a child who had just learned words in front of the first talented girl in the capital. Jiang Quan prefers Xia Yan, but he will definitely bring Xia Yan on any occasion, so Xia Yan's elegance sets off Xia Yan's rudeness more and more, at least in the eyes of the world.
Now Jiang Susu recalls Zhao Mei's learning of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the irony can be imagined.
"The second sister is wrong," Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "Could it be that the second sister's knowledge is all taught by her mother herself?" Naturally not, my father wanted to ask Mr. to teach him for the second sister, but I was in Zhuangzi, and I never had the blessing of inviting Mr. β
Jiang Susu choked, paused for a moment before saying, "But I see that the eldest sister is so smart, and she is not a person who has nothing to offer." Besides, this matter is also related to the face of our Jiang Mansion, if the eldest sister thinks about it, if she has any talents, at least she can deal with the past. β
"According to the second sister, what can I do?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Jiang Susu looked at her with some suspicion, but saw Jiang Ruan's eyes open, as if he really wanted her to help with ideas, so he said: "Calligraphy, chess and painting are not practiced overnight, and the eldest sister has never learned the piano, so why not dance a song?" There should also be singing and dancing performances in the Zhuangzi, and you can learn a few percent of the movements in singing and dancing like that. β
Jiang Ruan nodded: "This is a good idea, the second sister has thought it through." β
Jiang Li on the side sneered: "Don't laugh and be generous." Having said that, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Jiang Dan, who was on the side, smiled timidly at Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan leaned back: "In this case, I should think about what kind of dance I will dance later." β
"I'm sure the big sister will be amazing." Jiang Susu said with a smile.
Jiang Ruan closed his eyes, as if he was really contemplative, but his heart suddenly became clear.
The boat is full of young ladies from big families, what kind of talent has not been seen, but Jiang Susu's proposal is to teach her to dance the song and dance that can be danced on the stage at will on the village Zhuangzi, if she really dances, she will become the laughing stock of the entire capital tomorrow.
Jiang Susu really used the same methods as in the previous life, but the play couldn't start as she wanted.
I don't know how long I walked, but I heard the shouting of the coachman outside, and the carriage swayed to a halt. A few maids lifted the curtain outside, and the people in the carriage slowly got out of the carriage in turn.
Jiang Ruan was the last to get off the carriage, and when he walked down the grass on the shore and saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little trance.
By the time the carriage was moving, it was already dark. In the dark night sky, which is like a curtain, countless bright Kong Ming lanterns are reflected. The capital is already glorious, and the moat under its feet is also brightly lit. All kinds of lanterns are spread all over the river, and at a glance, it looks like a flowing river of lights. The two ships in the front are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and they are decorated with a lot of delicate lanterns, and the green smoke curls up, from which there is a pleasant sound of conversation and laughter.
This is the Qingsong Boat and the Linglong Fang, Jiang Ruan took a deep breath, and then heard the little girl singing outside dragging his voice and shouting: "Miss Jiang has arrived-"
The conversation and laughter stopped abruptly, and the eyes from all over the two boats gathered from the large windows of the two boats, and fell on the young ladies who were late.
Jiang Susu, as a stunning beauty in Beijing, naturally enjoys such a gaze, she wore a silver mouse gown with a white plum narrow silver long skirt today, pulled a flowing cloud bun, and only pinned a plum blossom white jade hairpin to her sideburns, and the snow-white cloak on her body swayed with the wind during walking, and she was as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth.
However, people's eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and then fell on the girl behind her.
The girl's whole body is gathered under the bright big flamingo crane, and the whole person's skin is as white as jade, teaching people to be full of reverie about the slender crane under the crane, her eyes are like autumn water eyebrows like ink paintings, her expression is clear under the lights, her eyes are cold and cold, her red lips are curved, and her long black hair is only a small bundle at random behind her head, allowing others to wind down. is different from the beautiful fairy, she is charming and bright, she is obviously extremely well-behaved, and her aristocratic demeanor is natural, but she seems to be inadvertently seducing. Walking towards everyone step by step, people couldn't help but hold their breath, and couldn't tell whether this girl who was like a red dust spirit was a dream or a reality.
She's so beautiful that she's frightening.
