Chapter eighty-four, three escorts
The Shogunate family went out to visit Lord Situ Liu's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info along the way, the third sister Mu Lanting tried to find the bad luck of the Chenxue sisters and brothers several times, but she blocked them one by one. Fortunately, at this time, I got off the sedan chair and entered the garden, and the third sister impatiently came to the side of the fourth sister, thinking that she would get rid of her sister-in-law, so that the ladies of each province could look at herself more. Now she is 13 years old, but she doesn't even have anyone who comes to her door to ask for marriage.
In fact, if Aunt Ma's background is higher, even if she is a noble concubine, the marriage of these three sisters will not be so difficult. But anyone who has some heads and faces will not ask to marry the daughter of a drama to enter the door. In fact, if these three sisters are willing to accept their fate and become concubines, it will not be difficult to use her appearance. It's no wonder that this Ma mother and daughter are too high-spirited, and they want to fight for their share with their cheap bodies.
In fact, if these two people are willing to fight for some benefits for themselves with their true skills and true temperament, Mu Chenxue does not hate such people, after all, how hard do women suffer for women. But the mother and daughter just want to step on others to climb up, which is a taboo against her, so not only can't get used to it, but even disgusted with the two of them to the extreme.
Since Mu Lanting was willing to stick a hot face to a cold buttocks, Mu Chenxue also fell quietly, deliberately a few steps behind, and distanced herself from the eldest lady. This Situ Mansion set up the camellia banquet in the flower pavilion of the inner garden. Smelling the fragrance of flowers in the garden, the mood of the morning snow became more comfortable. The autumn chrysanthemums and camellia in the garden complement each other, and the red and yellow stacks of green add a bit of vitality to this late autumn season.
Entering the Flower Pavilion, the eldest lady led her three daughters to salute Mrs. Liu first. Mu Chenxue lowered her head slightly, and looked at the entire Flower Pavilion carefully with her residual light. Almost all the people sitting here have seen it at the lotus banquet in the Qingwang Mansion, and there are only two people who may be named, one is the wife surnamed Tian who is the fourth rank of the military counselor, and the other is the wife surnamed Huang who is a friend of the Wupin Palace. It seems that these two are not only closely related, but even have a wide range of faces. Looking at the position where the two of them are sitting, it is close to the seat of the Liu family, and the relationship between the three of them is more intimate than that of the eldest lady Cheng who was arranged a little farther away.
And this time, because I only invited some acquaintances, the seats of the ladies were divided into what kind of concubines, and they only simply divided the priority according to the official rank. She didn't care about these Mu Chenxue, anyway, even if she sat at the same table with the fourth sister, she was not a little happy.
But the fourth sister didn't like it. is the daughter of a concubine, but she has to sit at the same table with two sisters. looked at the sisters who were on a blind date on weekdays, they all looked at themselves with unkind eyes, and they were so angry that they twisted the handkerchief in their hands into a rope, but they had to pretend to have a little smile on their faces. Seeing the curtain Chenxue, I had to admire the fourth sister a little more. If I didn't wear it, I was afraid that my concentration and scheming would not be as good as these four sisters.
The third sister sat next to the fourth sister, patronizing and excited, how could she still see these in her eyes. Seeing that the fourth sister ignored her, she went to find a few young ladies from the same table to say hello and chatted about gossip. He didn't even care about the other party's cold words, he only cared about his own happiness.
The fourth sister looked at the third sister like this, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, she couldn't help it, and secretly pulled the sleeve of the third sister under the table and reminded in a voice, "Third sister, if you say too much, you will lose, it's better to drink tea!" ”
These four sisters are really kind-hearted, and they really remind them, but in the eyes of the third sister, it looks like the fourth sister is jealous. Although the third sister's face was not revealed, there was a little smugness in her eyes, and Mu Chenxue, who was holding a teacup on the side, shook her head. In order to highlight the dignified and virtuous lady of her daughter, the eldest lady raised several concubines to be arrogant. Now I can't even see the height of my eyebrows. She can only feel sorry for her father, and it is only a matter of time before such a child causes trouble. As for whether she can save face, she doesn't care anyway.
Although the third sister here didn't see the anger of the fourth sister, the eldest lady sitting at the table saw everything in her eyes, and took advantage of the fact that several ladies were chatting with Mrs. Liu, and glared at the third sister fiercely, which made her put away the smugness in her eyes and drink tea with her head down.
They sat for almost a quarter of an hour, and the guests arrived. The lotus banquet held by the Qingwang Mansion before, although it was only a dim sum made of lotus flowers, but the people were high-powered, and no one would say anything. And this Liufu is to meet friends with flowers, in addition to tea and snacks, but also a few dishes of delicious wine for the occasion. You won't be able to eat enough of these things, but at least you won't go hungry. I'm afraid that the guests of this mansion only Mu Chenxue thinks so. Several ladies at the same table, except for some snacks, did not move a bite of the dishes on the table. Mu Chenxue was still a little puzzled at the beginning of the morning, this host's family served the food, if the guests didn't eat a bite, wouldn't it be a waste of the host's heart. But she looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile on her face, but it was normal like this, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, and she realized after pondering it in her heart.
In fact, this ancient woman lived a very tired life, and she had to be managed by her parents and brothers at home, and she had to pretend to be reserved and virtuous when she went out, and she couldn't smile and show her teeth. This food is also more exquisite, so in order not to make mistakes in front of people, they would rather be hungry than rude in front of people and ruin their reputation.
Mu Chenxue didn't care about these things, but the fourth sister didn't eat it, and she didn't dare to eat it, after all, the eldest lady's eyes were staring at their table like knives, and she didn't want to give the eldest lady any excuse to punish her and her mother.
However, before the dim sum was eaten, I heard a voice from the upper seat, "Mrs. Liu, let's go to King Qing's Mansion before, Princess Qing used poems to add a bit of elegance to the lotus banquet!" Although there is no husband to be married in Mrs. Liu's house, we might as well follow suit and have a lively picture? ”
"I originally wanted to invite all the ladies to come to the house to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't think about embarrassing the daughters of the ladies, Mrs. Tian prefers to be lively, and she can't be idle for a moment!" Mrs. Liu actually has this intention, this ancient banquet is to give these ladies a place to show their talents. Let the wives of each province and each house choose a favorite daughter-in-law for their son by the way.
"What Mrs. Liu said is that Mrs. Tian is like the bird in the tree, and she can't be idle for a moment!" Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Tian are close friends, and they make fun of each other, so naturally they will not hurt the harmony.
"Don't talk about me, we're half a catty to eight taels, and no one is much better than the other!" Watching the two ladies arguing, the people next to them naturally laughed along.
Mu Chenxue looked at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh along, but she didn't expect that this ancient woman seemed to be living only on her own one-third of an acre, but this three-(accompaniment) work of chatting, laughing, and sitting together was more incisive than that of modern people. Anyway, whether this chant is right or painted, it has nothing to do with her. She is only six years old, and she doesn't care which house she marries or which house marries a daughter.
She didn't care anymore, but the third sister's eyes lit up. Although he was just glared at by the eldest lady, he was at a loss for what to do. Mrs. Ketian's words were like a shot in the arm, which made her come back to life and find her goal. His eyes looked straight at Mrs. Liu, and he kept praying in his heart, "I hope Mrs. Liu can allow her to participate with her." ”
Several ladies discussed it again, and even the eldest lady Cheng smiled and agreed a few words from the side, and finally I don't know which lady took the lead, and actually let the ladies present follow the example of the Confucian sage and play the "Flying Flower Order". (To be continued.) )
