Chapter Ninety-Three: Xianrentai
"The kid is gone?" Pearl glanced out the window, also a little angry. "I don't know which child in Lu Dao is so naughty?"
"I'm definitely leaving, and if I don't think it's interesting, I won't stay here." Lin Yu was slowly drinking a glass of boiled water. After all, it's not on her own territory, she still has some taboos, so she simply doesn't even drink tea. "I guess it should be a prince, and it's not like such a big child doesn't understand anything. How dare the children of ordinary aristocratic families make such a fuss in the palace? ”
The boy followed Lin Yu all the way, and it was inevitably noisy and annoying. However, although he did whatever the kid did, Lin Yu simply ignored him, and left after a while, feeling bored, and probably wouldn't come again.
Seeing that the time was not too early, Lin Yu changed his body and clothes, cleaned up his hair a little and set off to attend the banquet in the palace. The banquet was placed in the main hall, ten people at a table, and there were more than a dozen tables, according to the status level, Lin Yu sat at the back of the most table in the outer hall, because the location was relatively partial, and I couldn't see the four or five tables where the royal family members and the royal family were related to the inner hall.
This kind of banquet is more meaningful than practical, it looks very good, and it is common to eat it in the mouth. Lin Yujing accompanied the last seat, basically no one talked to her, and naturally no one came to find trouble. Although this is a disguised snub, she is also happy, eats a little food, and just cares about watching the excitement around.
As the saying goes, there are no ugly people in good and rich people, basically they are very good-looking, and groups of handsome guys and beautiful women are exquisitely dressed and very eye-catching. There are a few more common ones. The temperament is good. Coupled with singing and dancing, silk and bamboo, as well as things like opera, Lin Yuquan should have seen the ancient banquet, so he had a very happy life.
However, when the banquet was at the end, everyone began to insinuate with each other after they were full of wine and food. Among them, there is a young lady surnamed Han who is very beautiful, although not as stunning as Yin Susu and Queen Liu. She is also one of the most outstanding young ladies in this banquet, with snow-white skin like clotted cream, a pair of veins with affectionate eyes, cherry lips slightly upturned, and a natural charm between the eyebrows. The young lady was besieged by several young ladies. However, there are also several sons who helped her out of the siege.
Because this Miss Han was born in this group of second and third ancestors, she was considered inferior, so she sat very close to Lin Yu, just one place above Lin Yu, that is, the third from the bottom.
For example, "Some people don't think they can enter the royal family because of their beauty", "A royal daughter-in-law is not just a beauty, family background is the most important." Words like that kept ringing in Lin Yu's ears.
And this Miss Han is smiling all the time, showing extraordinary self-cultivation. Gently and softly pushed back, "In fact, family background and appearance are not the most important thing, the most important thing is morality." The saint often said, "Be lenient to others, and we all have something to learn." ”
And then naturally there is someone who wants to please the beauty to help her speak, which can be regarded as an equal match. Lin Yu didn't know anyone, so he didn't intervene. Just drink tea and eat. But as time passed. In the end, the atmosphere gradually became cold, and after everyone drank a few glasses of wine, they inevitably felt a little drunk, and gradually their speech became more and more unpleasant.
Seeing that he was about to make a fuss, he heard a female voice behind him suddenly speak, with an ordinary tone, "It's not good to drink too much on this occasion, do you need a decanting soup for a few young ladies?" ”
Lin Yu turned his head to look. It turned out to be a woman dressed in palace clothes, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, her appearance was quite beautiful, and her dress was more gorgeous than ordinary palace people, and Lin Yu couldn't tell whether she was a palace official or a low-level concubine.
Seeing that several people immediately stopped talking, Miss Han changed from a cold face just now to a spring breeze, and said to the woman with a gentle smile, "Thank you aunt for reminding me, then it will be troublesome Aunt Ruyi." ”
Lin Yu drank three glasses of wine at the time of Princess Qingning's toast, and basically didn't drink again, so he was not drunk at all. The other ladies were in a cold sweat, regretting that they had just drunk two more glasses of wine in the palace. is a little dissatisfied with that Han Xuelu, and she shouldn't show it on such an occasion, this Ruyi aunt is a female official next to the queen, and she is also very decent in front of the emperor, so she came to observe the temperament of the sons and ladies of each family. Since she reminded her, it means that her performance is obviously very bad.
After Aunt Ruyi left, several young ladies who sarcastically said about Han Xuelu did not look very good, probably worried about their own future. It's strange to say, the hangover soup was only sent to those young ladies who almost made a big fuss, and they didn't even have Han Xuelu's, let alone Lin Yu. This is obviously not a good sign for those young ladies, it can be said that if you want to join the royal family through this, you can't even think about marrying a good family. However, it is interesting that four of the five young ladies have gray faces, but some of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Yu deliberately glanced at the young lady surnamed Sun, who was also a beauty, although not as beautiful as that Han Xuelu, she was also rarely beautiful. When the young lady saw her coming, she also smiled at Lin Yu, looking very gentle and beautiful, which was different from when she was sarcastic just now.
The banquet dispersed quickly, Lin Yu was not in a hurry, and walked slowly, but Miss Sun, who was relieved just now, walked a few steps slower, waiting for Lin Yu to come up and talk.
"I've seen you before, you're the righteous sister of the county lord of Zhaoya, is she the one who helped you participate in the peach blossom banquet?" Miss Sun smiled, "Then the county lord of Zhaoya really cares about you." ”
The reason for this is naturally not enough to be humane to outsiders, Lin Yu smiled, and instead of denying it, he asked, "I see that those young ladies don't look very good after drinking the sobering soup, is there any reason for this?" ”
Miss Sun said softly, "You also know that this time I actually want to choose a few princes and concubines, and some princes should also be married." Therefore, although many people dare not expect the position of a prince and concubine, they also want a more prominent background. ”
"This is also common sense, people go to high places, and water flows to low places." Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's normal for those young ladies to have such thoughts. ”
"These young ladies, including Miss Han, are all concubines, but Miss Han's appearance and personality are all superior, so I hope to be bigger. Originally, the verbal swords at this banquet were also ordinary, but who knew that Lu Dao happened to let Aunt Ruyi see it, she was more decent than the unfavored concubine in the palace. I think you guessed that too. Sending decanting soup means that you are out. Miss Sun explained carefully.
"Then Miss Sun, you?"
"I'm a descendant, but my family has long since declined, and my father is a third-grade official but with a small title." Miss Sun sighed softly, "They all say that the royal family is noble, but after all, it is too tiring. ”
However, this was a little bit profound, she quickly reacted, and said with a smile, "But Ming'er is very lively, and the scenery of this garden is also very beautiful." You should be here for the first time, you must go to the Houshan Fairy Terrace to see, the scenery is really not ordinarily beautiful. The first time I went, I was blown away. ”
"Then I'm really going to check it out." Lin Yu also smiled.
The two returned to their lodgings and quickly dispersed, washing and resting separately. Lin Yu changed places, and he was in a place like the palace, so he didn't sleep well in the end, and he tossed for a long time before falling asleep.
On the second day, I got up a little late, and when the two young ladies of the eldest princess's family came over, Lin Yu had just combed her hair and hadn't changed her clothes.
"Yesterday I heard that the scenery of the Immortal Terrace in Houshan is extremely beautiful, is it true?" Lin Yu asked while changing clothes.
"Xianrentai? If you don't say it, I almost forgot," the eldest grandson clapped her hands. "But no, the scenery is extremely beautiful, the peach blossoms and clouds all over the mountain, especially the peach blossoms reflected like red clouds at sunset on a sunny day, are really beautiful."
"Then I must go and see, it's rare to come here once, I can't miss it." Lin Yu also laughed.
Lin Yu had no enthusiasm for showing his talents, and went to Xianrentai early in the morning. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
