93. Chapter 93
In the backyard of the eldest princess's house, there is a garden near the water, the scenery is unique, the beauty is so beautiful that it can be done in one go, Zhou Zhuo named it 'Miao', saying that there was a poet in the previous dynasty who said, 'The emperor descended to Beizhu, and his eyes were sorrowful', and the water vapor here can also be 'misty'.
'Miao Miao Garden' enters June, it is the sky and waterscape, the blue color is even the sky, a nine-curved corridor is across the clear water, connected with the stone boat parked on the shore and the octagonal pavilion in the lake, this way to go, see the scenery everywhere, the scenery is different.
Changle set the hidden tea banquet here, and it also skillfully welcomed those famous ladies who liked elegance.
In this world, there are always a lot more constraints on women, girls, it's hard to go out, locked in the backyard of one acre and three points of land, it's hard to see anything new.
After all, Shangjing, the most prosperous capital of the Great Seal, has every inch of land, and not everyone's garden can be built into such a luxurious and large vessel as the Changgong Mansion, so there can be a sense of freshness in the suburbs.
The famous lady who can be invited by Changle is very eye-catching and has a temper with her, after two lives, she is always a lot smarter and freer than in the previous life in terms of picking friends.
As the princess of Jiaoyang, Changle's entertainment is different from other people's young ladies, her current status does not dare to say that she is below one person and above ten thousand, but in the national women's rights rankings, she can definitely rank in the top ten, and among the unmarried women, she can almost rank in the top three.
The stars hold the moon, but that's it.
- She doesn't need to please anyone, what she doesn't like, she can definitely not think about it, she doesn't have to care about anyone's face.
Among these ladies, in addition to the four ladies of the British public, she has to pay attention to it, and there is another one, which she attaches great importance to.
That is the concubine of the Tongjibo family, Zhao Yi's sister Zhao Huilian, who had blocked Li Rongxiang's carriage with Ou Zijia before, and this is also her best friend and sister in her two lives.
After being reborn, she became a lot estranged from many boudoirs who had some contact with her on weekdays, first, she really didn't want to waste the relationship on this, and secondly, she also saw through some human feelings, only Zhao Huilian, no matter where she was, she walked around as usual.
Even if you haven't seen each other for a long time, you always have to bring some gifts to each other and do your best.
In this small banquet, in addition to Changle's entrustment by Mrs. Yonglin Bo and Ou Zijia's own troubles, she wants to take care of Ou Zijia's marriage, her cousin Yang Yining's marriage, she is also very concerned, and she doesn't know if the marriage of Sister Hui'er's previous life can be booked now? If you haven't booked it...... Her cousin ......, that's pretty good, too.
Just after the hour, the boudoir ladies invited by Changle had already arrived one after another, led by the well-trained little girls and little palace maids in the princess's mansion, and they came to the 'Miao Garden' in the backyard.
To Changle's surprise, among these boudoirs, the first to come was not her good sister Zhao Huilian from Tongji Bofu, but the fourth lady of the British public family who gave Ou Zijia a big headache.
The British government's surname is Liu, the fourth lady's name is Yingmei, and she has three sisters, all of whom are from the same mother, and they all married early, and now they are mothers.
The youngest son of the British Duchess who was beaten by Ou Zijia and returned to the house to complain is actually the son of the British Duke, and these four golden flowers are compatriots, and the British Duchess has gone through a lot of hardships and worshiped the gods and Buddhas of I don't know how many temples before she begged to come back, and she looked more important than her eyes.
Ou Zijia dared to make a move on such a son, and it was difficult for his sister to pull him off the bed in the women's branch courtyard, and he would be beaten fat.
Since her rebirth, Changle has seen Liu Yingmei for the first time, no different from the person in her memory, although she is not very outstanding, but she has a good temperament, and she has a sassy atmosphere that is rare for a boudoir woman.
In the previous life, she walked with a graceful and reserved temperament, and she may not like Liu Yingmei's appearance, but this life is different, she has greatly let go of her temperament, and she knows a sentence: What three obedience and four ways, moral virtue, are all bullshit, and it is true that they are not as happy as themselves.
When she went to see Liu Yingmei again, she felt very close to her, especially after Liu Yingmei saw her, she was not restrained, as if she had known her for a long time, and smiled when she opened her mouth, "I am Liu Yingmei from the British Mansion, I have seen Princess Jiaoyang, and the princess is blessed for a thousand years!" β
Liu Yingmei obviously saluted her, but her demeanor was not humble and flattering at all, just the appearance of two old friends meeting and greeting, which was generous and added a little closeness.
"Sister, don't be polite, I've been looking up to my sister for a long time, and I only got to see my sister today, and I always feel that it's late."
Changle stretched out his hand, and Liu Yingmei held it, "The princess said and laughed, it's late, but I think it's just the right time." β
One step earlier and one step later, there will be no such fall in love today, and it will be so late to see each other.
"It's just right, that's right, it's just right," Changle pulled Liu Yingmei and walked inside, "I know about my sister and my unfilial apprentice, and I haven't had time to congratulate my sister!" β
With such a cheerful woman, there is nothing to hide, and it is simply disrespectful to this woman to not be able to talk straight to the point.
"The princess is not sincere in what she said, what do I have to congratulate on this marriage!" After speaking, he glanced at Changle with a smile, "The reputation of your apprentice is rare in the capital city." β
When she said this, she was also disgusted, and Changle couldn't help laughing, provoking the boudoirs who were coming to her side to look at her.
Changle covered the corners of his lips with his hand, "Then sister, can you disagree with this marriage?" β
Looking at Liu Yingmei's temperament, it doesn't look like the kind of person who is submissive, if she really disagrees, she won't dare to talk to the British public, who can force her to do anything?
Between the two, there was silence for a while, seeing that the boudoirs who came by appointment were about to come over, it was difficult to say private words, Changle was slightly anxious, and she couldn't urge, this little thing, she could still hold her temperament? Just wait quietly until ......
Waiting for the few boudoirs, they had already walked in front of them, and Changle heard Liu Ying's low eyebrows, "Maybe, it should be fate!" β
It's fate, right? Rao is Changle is much more clever than the previous life, and she didn't understand the meaning of Liu Yingmei's words, where is her fate with Ou Zijia?
Liu Yingmei must not be referring to the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, and the only direct contact between Liu Yingmei and Ou Zijia was the time when the women's branch dragged Ou Zijia out of bed and violently beat Ou Zijia. It's just incredible.
Changle felt that Liu Yingmei and Ou Zijia really needed to be seen, after all, the big wedding is not child's play, it will take a lifetime, and if you come aggrieved, it will not go well in this life.
Before it was her turn to think about it, someone next to her was already greeting her again.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, your Luo skirt today is so beautiful, this is a new style in the palace, right?"
Changle raised his eyes and saw that the person who was talking to her was Zhang Ruowei, the eldest daughter of Zhang Qiang, the left attendant of the Ministry of War.
In the past, Changle had greeted this Miss Zhang a few times in the few small banquets in the Fuchang Marquis Mansion, and felt that this Miss Zhang was not an annoying, so when he posted this time, he invited him by the way.
Looking at it now, it's really not an annoying, casual topics are all popular in the daughter's circle, and this sentence is appropriately used to raise Changle's identity, the new style in the palace is always novel and noble for her girls outside the palace.
This year is even different, Zhengyang Palace ushered in a new round of draft, it is a five-year election, her uncle's harem can be richer, and there are many fresh girls rushing to give birth to children for him.
Yes, Zhang Ruowei's new style in the palace immediately aroused a lot of discussion in the boudoir group, and they circled around the Changle orchestra, wanting to boast about the clothes worn by Changle and Changle.
Changle suddenly remembered that when she attended the banquet before, if she didn't say anything, no one else would know that she had come, and at that time, she seemed to be dressed like this.
This person is not popular, I really don't care how likable you are!
If you are the ingenious girl in the shop seller's house, in front of this pile of young ladies, you will be flattered from beginning to end, and in the end you will end up with the sentence 'nouveau riche', 'full of cheesiness', and 'a smell of copper'.
She became the only princess of the Great Yin Dynasty, and she didn't have to say anything, as long as she stood there, there were countless good words.
It's just that I listen to such words, but I always owe some taste, and it's okay to socialize, but it's not okay to have a heart-to-heart.
When the daughters of this group of boudoir pavilions spoke, they squeaked, but they couldn't hear Liu Yingmei's voice.
She stood alone outside the circle, watching Changle deal with it with ease with great interest, only feeling that her own character, I am afraid that she can't do it, and I admire Changle a little, no matter what those girls say, Changle can always go around.
Changle took these ladies and ladies through the nine-song corridor and walked to the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake.
This octagonal pavilion, which was chosen as the centerpiece of the banquet, was already decorated yesterday with a gentle breeze of gauze tents and colored silks, which could not only cool the pavilion, but also allow a clear view of the lake through the shade.
The dry decorations used for the tea banquet have been neatly arranged in the octagonal pavilion, and the melon and fruit snacks are also exquisitely placed on each table.
The palace maids who were there, when Changle brought those young ladies over, one would be one or two, guiding the ladies to sit down separately.
It stands to reason that the banquet can start at this time, but before anyone arrived, Changle kept dragging it out, letting the ladies talk with laughter and laughter, just not opening their mouths to say that the banquet would begin.
Others, Changle can be different. But, Zhao Huilian, she has to wait.
Changle understands Zhao Huilian, and according to Zhao Huilian's character, if there is no stumbling block, he will never be late.
After receiving his invitation and being tripped up, Changle probably guessed what the reason was.
Tongji Bofu, don't look at the day when the sun has not set, the tattered Cheng dΓΉ inside is even worse than those who have a big family and a big power.
Zhao Huilian and Zhao Yi, who were friends with Ou Zijia, were both born to the same mother, and were left by Tongjibo's original wife, who did not live long, and when Zhao Yi was two years old, she died of illness.
After less than a year, Tong Jibo remarried a stepwife, although this stepwife is a concubine, but her mother's family is very powerful, her father is the commander-in-chief of the Wucheng Guanma Division, although her mother is a concubine, but she is quite favored, she has also been pampered since she was a child, and this temperament is inevitably a little domineering.
For the children left by his predecessor, although he didn't dare to be too harsh, he didn't necessarily treat them very well, but fortunately, Mrs. Tongji was still there, and she loved Zhao Huilian's sisters and brothers, so as not to suffer from the sisters and brothers.
In the past, when I received my own small post, Hui'er arrived early, and at this time today, she hasn't appeared yet......
Changle was inevitably a little worried.
Liu Yingmei, who was sitting next to Changle, noticed Changle's looking left and right, and when the few people next to him turned around to say goodbye, she asked Changle softly, "Is there something wrong with the princess?" But it's inconvenient? β
Changle didn't hide it from Liu Yingmei, "No, it's nothing, it's just that Sister Hui'er hasn't arrived yet, and I'm a little worried." β
Liu Yingmei saw Changle bluntly tell her what she thought in her heart, knowing that Changle regarded her as her own, her heart was moved, but she was not born with the kind of character that is easy to be sad and easy to sigh, and she only remembered it in her heart.
"Hui'er? The one from the Tongjibo family? β
The boudoir circle in Shangjing is so big, even if you are not familiar with it, you know which is which and who is who. As soon as Changle mentioned the name, Liu Yingmei thought of it.
Changle nodded, "I have been friends with Sister Hui'er since childhood, and the relationship is excellent, I know that she is a person, if there is nothing to do, she will not be late." β
"Hmph, that would come ...... There must be something big," Liu Yingmei said, her tone changed, and she snorted coldly, bringing out mockery.
Changle also felt strange that Liu Yingmei could change no matter how she said it, but when she looked in the direction of Liu Yingmei's raised eyes, she saw her long-marquised sister Hui'er.
It's a pity that the surprise in Changle's heart hasn't passed, and he saw that behind Zhao Huilian, there was also a girl in a green willow shirt, and he understood where Liu Yingmei's cold snort came from.
