Chapter Twenty-Six: Rong Yuexuan Meets the Third Lady
When she arrived at Rongyue Xuan, the maid who had been waiting for her greeted her, Huiyue, who was one of the second lady's personal maids, and she smiled: "The old lady sent someone to report that it was the cousin and the girl who came to greet the third lady, and the third lady was so busy that the slave maid came to the door to wait, but unexpectedly ushered in three distinguished guests, this is a great thing, the third lady likes to be lively the most, and she is happy today." ”
Lu Binrou smiled: "Sister Huiyue's mouth is still so sweet, but Gu Gongzi is a distinguished guest, and I am a disgusting crazy girl, how dare I work Sister Gong to come out to greet her in person." This is the little son of the Pingguo Mansion, but he is a rare guest, and his sister just takes care of the two of them. ”
Huiyue smiled and saluted Jin Longxiang: "It turned out to be the little prince of the Guogong Mansion, what a distinguished guest." ”
He saluted Lu Binrou again, and said with a smile: "How did the slave maid offend the girl, the girl is so difficult to be a slave, the third lady said, the girl is the most delicate master of our Hou Mansion, if Huiyue dares to snub the girl, the third lady will not pull out a layer of Huiyue's skin if she knows it." Two sons, girls, come in, it's cold outside, be careful of freezing your body. ”
Gu Hui and Jin Longxiang let Lu Binrou enter the house, and the third lady Qi was dressed in homely clothes, wearing a wipe of her forehead, and was sitting on a soft couch embroidery.
Seeing them come in, he put down the embroidery shed and said with a smile: "I just told Zhuyue, why haven't you been here for a long time, isn't it that Rou Yatou hasn't come to the third aunt for a long time, she doesn't remember the way, and she led the wrong way?" Hey, isn't this the little prince of the Pingguo Mansion, why didn't you say anything when you came today, Huiyue hasn't seen you, I'm afraid I was slacking just now. ”
Jin Longxiang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I didn't want to disturb Mrs. You, but my mother said a few days ago that she was going to hold a plum banquet in the first month, and sent me to send a post to the house." As a result, I didn't bring it today, and the old lady said that the post is usually sent to you here, so I will apologize to you first, and I will send it to you in person tomorrow. ”
Qi said with a smile: "The house is lively for me to drink and feast, so the post is usually sent to me." I heard that the son also saved my family's soft girl, so I guess I only came back from the Banshan Temple today, and I shouldn't have brought a post. It's okay, don't say I forgot to bring it today, it's just that there is no post, if I go cheekily then, can Lingtang still kick me out? ”
Jin Longxiang also blinked and said with a smile: "Madame, my mother is looking forward to your going." My mother also said that day, saying that the first thing to be called at this flower-viewing banquet was Mrs. Lu San, and when Mrs. Lu San arrived, this flower bloomed to have aura to be rewarded. ”
Qi Shi was dazzled by his compliment, and said: "This kid's mouth is really sweet, and it is better than Zhihui'er, it is really likable." Actually, what Lingtang means is that I am the most crazy, and I went to the banquet to make everyone laugh, but I will enjoy the flowers and enjoy the fun. ”
After that, Gu Hui also went up to give Qi a salute, Qi smiled and asked him how he was doing these days, he was still used to it in Beijing, how he got along with his colleagues in the Yulin Army, Gu Hui replied one by one, his attitude was respectful and just right, showing that he was different from Jin Longxiang's intimacy, and the words made people only feel comfortable.
Lu Binrou stood quietly beside her, bowing her head slightly to listen to them, she remembered Gu Hui's glance when she was at her grandmother's place, and she still felt strange in her heart. I don't know if my grandmother saw it, whether it should be or not, and her old man's eyes are not very good. However, there were so many people on the side, and someone always noticed it, and Jin Longxiang saw it......
She suddenly remembered a very strict question, Gu Hui looked at her like that, others wouldn't think they were eyebrows?
Lu Binrou was distressed, and heard her third aunt call her: "Rourou, why is it so quiet today, and the third aunt here can't say a word?" ”
Lu Binrou came back to her senses, caught a glimpse of the embroidery shed next to Qi's, and said busily: "Third aunt, forgive me, Rourou just saw the butterfly hibiscus you embroidered, and the butterfly was the same as the real one, and Rourou just thought if it was going to fly." ”
Qi said with a smile: "I haven't seen Rou Yatou's mouth become sweet for two days, and the third aunt will be embarrassed to be praised by you." This qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song can not give you three aunts, it is this female red, when she was not out of the cabinet, she was ordered by her mother to practice for a few years, and she worked hard, and then she could barely see people. ”
Gu Hui said on the side: "Aunt Cousin's words are too modest, who didn't know that Miss Xu Si's embroidery shook Yunzhou City with one hand, and embroidered peony flowers can attract butterflies and bees, and now some ladies in Yunzhou will mention it." ”
Qi Shi held his forehead, a little embarrassed and said: "When I was young and vigorous, I was aroused by others and became competitive, in fact, I used the side door in that incident, and the embroidery thread was soaked in flower juice in advance to attract bees and butterflies." That's not what I'm really capable of, it's really inhumane. ”
Gu Hui shook his head and said: "Having said that, the embroidery judges at that time were all masters in the Yunzhou embroidery workshop for decades, and their eyes were the most vicious. That's just an eye-catching approach, and everyone knows it. Besides, who didn't have to think carefully at that time, aunt, you just came up with some ingenuity and didn't bribe the judges, which was already a very real behavior. ”
Qi smiled and said: "You kid, when something that wasn't very glorious came to your mouth, it seemed to have changed its taste in a twist." Anyway, it's all old things left and right, that is, you can laugh when you think about it. Except for your mother and them in Yunzhou City, I'm afraid few people remember Qi Siniang! ”
Lu Binrou listened to some curiosity, stepped forward and gently shook the third aunt's arm, and said coquettishly: "Third aunt, Rourou doesn't know what you're talking about, tell Rourou about it~" She unconsciously dragged out the tail note, and her little daughter was full of emotion. After saying that, I saw the smile in Qi's eyes and remembered that there were two men next to him!
Lu Binrou is embarrassed, she has always been dignified and generous in front of outsiders, and there are few times like this. Her face was hot, and she didn't dare to look at the two of them, so she had to bury her face, and the hand holding Qi's sleeve quietly retracted.
Qi patted her head amusedly, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a tradition in Yunzhou City, there is a fighting competition every Qixi Festival, and girls who have not come out of the pavilion in the city can participate, and the participants can be calligraphy, painting, embroidery, etc., and even a dance." If anyone wins the first place, it is the Qiqiao Niangniang of the year, which is very glorious. My aunt made a bet with someone at that time and vowed to win the top spot that year, so she embroidered an eight-colored peony to participate. That's it, nothing special. ”
Lu Binrou blinked, she could feel from the conversation between Gu Hui and the third aunt just now that the things back then were definitely not as simple as her aunt's mouth, but since the aunt didn't want to say it, it was not bad to ask again, so she had to suppress her curiosity and think about when to wait for the third aunt to be happy before begging her to tell herself.
