Chapter 22: Three, Six, Nine, etc
Juxian Pavilion is a six-entry courtyard, built by the mountain, in front of the door is the sea of flowers, and the murmuring water in the courtyard flows through, the stream is crystal clear, and there are fish that are not afraid of people swimming in the water.
The flowers and plants planted in each yard are different, the first one is full of acacia, it is the season of thick flowers, only to see a small umbrella-like velvet tassel full of trees, there are groups of four or two piles of ladies in the yard are chatting, I think it is the ladies of the last noble family, seeing Zhao Shu walk in, they all got up and curtfell and saluted.
These ladies, Zhao Shu didn't know, and could only smile in return, so he followed the palace maid into the second entry, the two into the jade lotus, the jade lotus flower fragrance is strong, in contrast to Zhao Shu prefers the light fragrance of the acacia, but the slightly fleshy double-petaled corolla is like a saucer scattered on the branches, extremely cute.
"Sister Ajun is here, Fang and the concubines talked about their sister, and said that they were afraid that their sister was lost, so they took the fourth sister-in-law to find their sister, no, my sister came just out." Sun Si came out from inside, smiling all over his face, looking like his aunt and sister-in-law had a harmonious and intimate relationship.
Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Zhao Shu also smiled lightly, "Jingxin Garden is too big, isn't it almost lost?" A few girls found me, otherwise I wouldn't know where I was, and I thought it was heaven. ”
"Look at what my sister said, if you like it, come over in the future, there is nothing else in this Jingxin Garden, but the flowers are just look, there are." She said goodbye and took Zhao Shu's hand affectionately and left Erjin together.
Walking all the way, although it is a yard, but in fact it is always going to a high place, there are strange stones beside the road, old trees climb branches, walked for about two quarters of an hour, and finally arrived at the place where the first-class family ladies gathered, two big characters stand on the plaque, gather sages!
Juxian Building is a courtyard scattered on a small hillside, there are not many people in it, and there are no flowers and trees. There were only a few green bamboos swaying in the wind, Zhao Shu glanced at it and found that she was not impressed by the ladies inside.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has a beautiful and dignified appearance. The woman wearing a blue and white green magnolia pattern brocade dress took the lead in front of Zhao Shu, "It's the monarch, right?" It's really as rumored, and it's extremely good-looking. ”
Zhao Shu didn't know this girl, Sun Si chuckled, "Miss Qiu." You see, let's call our Ah Jun shy. In disguise, he introduced the family where the girl in front of him came from, and said: "Ajun, come, the fourth sister-in-law will introduce you to you, this is Qiu Tong of the Qiu family, this is Yang Mengxian of the Yang family, Sun Ying, Wei Jiawei Yunshu, Jiangnan Yan Ruyu." ”
Zhao Shu listened to the names of these people. The first reaction was, "Oh, this game of chess is so big, I hope the flag bearer won't die of exhaustion and be killed by himself."
"See the county lord." Several ladies were extremely down-to-earth and generous, and they didn't feel that Zhao Shuzu was a mud leg and showed dislike and contempt.
Zhao Shu also bowed her knees in return, Qiu Tong walked up to Zhao Shu and held her hand affectionately, "Ajun, can I call you that?" ”
The girl of the first family of Qiu. But it doesn't look like it starts with autumn at all, and those eyes are bright and bright, gentle and clear.
"I also want to be called Ah Jun, and I want to be called Ah Jun too." The younger Yan Ruyu hurriedly came over and grabbed Zhao Shu's other arm. It's small-mouthed, very playful and cute.
Qiu Tong teased and said, "You should be called Sister Ajun, no big or small." ”
Yan Ruyu's eyes widened, "Sister? How can I look younger than me? Am I too old? ”
"If you are old, how can you let an old bone like this palace live?" Hao Guifei came out from behind the screen, and her voice was like a warbler's cry. It's pleasant to the ear, but she's in her early twenties, and she's married to a woman, and the maturity and charm on her body can't catch up with the little girls.
She glanced at Zhao Shu, "Does the county lord know what kind of place this is?" Ordinary people can't come here, and the glass can only stop at the next two floors. She walked to Zhao Shu's side calmly, looked Zhao Shu up and down, smiled meaninglessly, and held Yanmei's hand with a smile and left the courtyard.
"Ajun, the fourth sister-in-law still has something to do, so I won't talk to you, fifth sister, take care of Ajun for the fourth sister." After Sun Si curtsy his knees and sent Hao Guifei away, he said to Zhao Shu apologetically.
Sun Ying smiled lightly at Zhao Shuyao, "I know the fourth sister." Her voice was so sweet that you couldn't help but want to hear it more.
Sun Si smiled apologetically at Zhao Shu again, and after crossing the screen, he didn't know where he went.
However, this is like a rehearsed play, the prologue slowly opened, and Zhao Shu was already on the stage.
"People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, I don't know the county lord, which class do you think you are?" , It was Mrs. Sun who had just come up who spoke, and she was followed by a group of people, including her daughters-in-law and granddaughters, and the ladies who were in charge of the mansions in Beijing, and the stars hugged her in front of Zhao Shu like the moon.
Not to mention her aggressive words, it is the subdued and frustrated voice, which inexplicably gives people a kind of psychological pressure.
Zhao Shu looked at her squarely, Mrs. Sun was already goosebumps and old-fashioned dragon clock, holding the dragon head crutches, with the support of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, slowly entered the courtyard, Sun Yun followed behind her, her face was cold, as if she had just been wronged, Zhao Shu looked at her, she shook her head slightly, and reminded Zhao Shumo to go against her grandmother, there was no benefit.
However, Zhao Shu sneered in her heart, if you take a step back and open the sky, where is there still strife in this world? "In the past, Guan Zhong's family was in decline, in order to make a living, he was a lowly businessman, and when he was an auxiliary government, he set up a "female lu" system, and dared to ask the old lady, how many people is Guan Zhong? ”
Old Madam Sun was stunned for a moment, and then someone sneered, "Isn't the county lord claiming to be in charge?" ”
**Naked contempt, Zhao Shu looked over, it was the Yang family's daughter-in-law Zhang, Yang Mengxian had walked to her side, holding her arm, trying to stand away from Zhao Shu.
"Keiko has a saying, Zi Fei Yu knows the joy of fish, so don't look at others with your own eyes, Mrs. was born in a scholarly family, I think I know?" Zhao Shu did not show weakness, at this time, there were only two people by her side, Qiu Tong and Yan Ruyu.
Qiu Tong and Yan Ruyu got an explanation from their family today, and they will definitely help Zhao Shu, and before the two of them can stand up for Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu has already thrown the problem over.
Yang Zhang's was speechless by Zhao Shu's question, and his face suddenly didn't look good, and after Mrs. Sun was stunned for a while, she remembered that Zhao Shu also said Hanlin Rongweide in Changle Palace, so she opened her mouth to Yang Zhang's steps.
"The county lord is really smart and sharp-toothed, but it's just an ordinary gossip, and it can also make the county lord quote the scriptures like this, the old body is old, and he can't talk about the county lord," she said, holding on to her crutches and walking slowly forward, to go over the screen.
After she finished speaking, Zhao Shu immediately said: "I am not a saint or a sage, and I don't know how to answer the old lady's question. The ancients did not know what they said, but they were erudite, interrogated, and thoughtful. Reasoning and practice, the old lady asked like this, I think it must be because of the heart of the hills and valleys, I don't know how to ask the old lady. ”
I want to imply that she doesn't respect the elderly. Hehe!
The ladies and ladies who followed the old lady listened to her words, and immediately did not dare to speak casually, for fear that Zhao Shu would point the finger at them, such a tricky question, they couldn't answer it, and at the same time, they were shocked by Zhao Shu's strength, and they refused to eat at all.
Sun Yun walked to Zhao Shu's side and wanted to talk to her, but Old Madam Sun stomped on her crutches, "Old man's words." It didn't work! ”
"Go ahead, it'll be fine." Zhao Shu patted Sun Yun's hand lightly, signaling that she didn't have to worry.
Sun Yun seemed to have some scruples, and squeezed Zhao Shu's hand without saying anything, resolutely caught up with the old lady's pace, and bowed down and waited in front of the old lady.
Sun Yun, who was so proud of the sky, actually bowed down and made it small, and Mrs. Sun made it clear that she didn't treat her as a granddaughter, and even the maids around her had more status than Sun Yun.
The tragic experience of Sun Yun in his previous life was also this time. Thinking about what happened inside the Sun family, outsiders can't find out.
Everyone followed behind the old lady and walked past Zhao Shu one by one, although they did not speak. But it will be blessed.
After everyone bypassed the screen and the figure disappeared, Qiu Tong said: "I really don't know how to answer Mrs. Sun's question, I didn't expect you to be so clever, no wonder my father said I'll come over to support you to support the scene, and you have to come to the rest." ”
"Yes. Sister Ajun, you are amazing. Yan Ruyu looked adoring, and her eyes were full of stars.
Zhao Shu was a little confused, she didn't know these two before, and suddenly appeared in front of her and threatened to support her......
Qiu Tong looked at her with a confused look and said with a smile: "Ah Jun, don't worry, Ruyu and I are from your side." “
"En, my father said that in the capital, Sister Jun is the one who wants to make deep friends, and my father's fate is difficult, so Sister Jun will accept my little sister." She said that she hugged her fists and saluted, as if she was as chic as a celebrity.
"Thank you, Sister Qiu, Sister Yan." Zhao Shu was a little helpless and emotional.
"Sister Ajun, don't thank you, let's go, I heard that I will be able to see Master Huo later, my sister and Sister Huo are familiar with each other, I think it must be common to see Lord Huo, right?" Yan Ruyu began to gossip endlessly about Huo Baichuan.
For example, he asked excitedly: "Sister, Lord Huo wears a white dress of ink bamboo all day long, does he particularly like ink bamboo?" Master Huo always holds a licorice in his mouth unruly, why does he like to hold licorice, I have learned to hold it before, but licorice is not delicious......"
Twitter, Twitter, Zhao Shu was about to collapse, but fortunately, she bypassed the screen, and after a while, she came to the place where everyone was singing and drinking and writing poems.
The meandering stream, which seems to be chaotic on the bank, is actually orderly and orderly with a number of small tables, and there are brocade seats next to the small tables, and everyone who has come has sat on the ground on the brocade mats next to the small tables.
Although there are many people, not everyone can go up to the top, and some of them are not enough, so they can only be downstream, Zhao Shu glanced at it, and her position was a little awkward.
She is the super county lord, and Concubine Ning and Hao Guifei are also there, she has two concubines and one product, and Mrs. Sun is just a second-grade order.
It stands to reason that she has the highest grade here, and at this time, Mrs. Sun sits on the main seat, the concubine is the only one, and below is Concubine Ning, and gradually there are other ladies and nobles.
After taking a closer look one by one, he could only see three or two vacant seats at the end, Sun Si greeted Zhao Shu warmly, "Ah Jun sit down, it's about to start." "I only spoke, but I didn't get up to salute each other, and they were as steady as Mount Tai.
The creek is not big, about thirty meters, and there is a white jade screen in the middle, and a man's voice can be faintly heard on the opposite side.
Hao Guifei saw Zhao Shu staring at the vacant seat at the end, chuckled, poured a glass of wine bewitchingly, and then put half a cup of wine into the water, "County Lord, it's too late, but you will be punished." ”
It's still the same routine, the same recipe, and the history is strikingly similar.
On the other side, Yongwang was playing chess with Xie Yun, and after listening to Sun Si and Hao Guifei's words, his ears suddenly stood up, and he was not attentive when playing chess, for fear that someone would bully his daughter.
Although I couldn't see the people on the other side, the positions on both sides were almost arranged, when Zhao Shu said: "Mrs. Sun asked me, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and I can't answer, and now I am even more confused, the wife and concubine are the relationship between master and servant, I don't know why the old lady wants to eat in the same position as the concubine and Concubine Ning." ”
"The four emperor brothers are concubines, the four sisters-in-law are the daughters of the family, one concubine and one concubine, and they can even marry two surnames, so the shackles of the old system can be broken over, but I don't know why the position of the county lord is arranged at the end? Putting aside the distinction between the host and the guest, if the grade is concerned, the county lord should sit in the first place, and if the elder and the youngest, the county lord will not be at the bottom, I don't know who arranged the position, it is so uncourteous. ”
When King Yong heard this, his only daughter was bullied like this on the other side, and he immediately became angry, when he was still ridiculous before, he never went with Zhao Shu to appear in a place other than Cining Palace, and this was the first time he had heard someone bully his daughter like this.
Suddenly, as soon as the white jade chess pieces were released, he just wanted to speak for Zhao Shu, but Huo Baichuan next to him stopped him, only to see Huo Baichuan shaking his head slightly, signaling him not to speak.
Then he raised his voice and said: "County Lord, you can't answer such a simple question, Mr. Luo must be angry when he knows, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, you are divided into several grades, I say one class, if you ask you why you are doing one class, you will let her go home and memorize the three outlines and five constants, the three outlines are not through the five constants, and the virtue is worrying." ”
When Zhao Shu heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle, and turned around and instructed Xiao Zhuzi: "Move Xiao Ji and Jinxi away, and the county lord will not sit at the same table with a sanctimonious person." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a beautiful maid came from the opposite side, whispered a few words in Mrs. Sun's ear, and Mrs. Sun snorted coldly before ordering someone to arrange a seat for Zhao Shu, second only to her.
Zhao Shu saw that the position was arranged, she sat down with Qiu Tong and Yan Ruyu, and said casually to Hao Guifei: "Guifei, please let me go." ”
Huo Baichuan on the other side couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Zhao Shu's words, and at this time, someone pretended to be casual and said: "I heard that Miss Huo and the county lord are quite close, but I never thought that Lord Huo was very different from the county lord. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately began to discuss in a low voice, some people said what was excited, and they also looked at Zhao Shu with big eyes, and the meaning expressed in that look made people think about it.
