Chapter 82: Proposals
"What do you say, what is not a clever mouth."
Outside the house, a woman wearing a turmeric shirt and a green skirt stood a little simple, and she brought the little lady behind her into the house with a smile.
Everyone in the room stood up, and Mrs. Guan San introduced Yun Yao again, it turned out that this woman was the wife Wen and the youngest daughter of Song Wu, Yun Yao met again, and the two sides sat down separately.
After the Wen family sat down, it didn't take long for a number of lavish ladies, grandmothers, and little ladies to come one after another, including the daughters of several important officials in the Zhenting Mansion, the wives and daughters of the local gentry, and the wives and grandmothers of many big merchants.
Everyone had seen each other, and after talking for a while, Mrs. Guan San led everyone to the back garden.
This back garden should be trimmed, the place is not big but the whole is very exquisite, the flowers and trees are flourishing, the green willows are shady, and there is an artificial lake water surface like a green mirror, the lake is dotted with lotus, the lotus leaves are already very large, but the lotus flowers have not bloomed.
There are two small boats parked on the lakeside, which are supposed to be for the ladies to play.
There is a very large well-trimmed pavilion by the lake, there are verandahs on both sides of the pavilion, and there is a small and beautiful place at the end of the verandah on the east side.
The inside has been arranged, the tables and chairs are complete, the case is horizontally clothed, everyone sits down in turn, and there are little girls who come over one after another to serve food, tea and wine, Mrs. Guan San toasts to everyone, and everyone also toasts to greet each other.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Mrs. Guan San called a girl to give a few words, and after a while, everyone looked at a few girls in costumes in the lakeside pavilion and sang Yiyi, it turned out that Mrs. Guan San actually brought out the small drama raised at home to make everyone happy.
Yun Yao drank a glass of wine and ate a few more mouthfuls of food, feeling that this meal was quite chic and tasted good, but it was not as pleasant as eating a big bowl of meat at home, and the taste was not as good as at home.
Listen to the sound of singing. She put down her chopsticks and looked over from a distance, and saw a group of eleven or twelve-year-old girls wearing heavy makeup, wearing costumes and pretending to be emperors and generals in the pavilion, peerless beauties. staged a play of joys and sorrows.
The thin and beautiful voice is even better through the sound of water, and many wives and grandmothers have listened to it, but Yun Yao is used to hearing the inspiring and passionate voice of the interstellar era, and it is really a little awkward to listen to such a melodious and slow singing, how to listen to it and feel anxious and tight. I really want to go over a few sentences to help them finish the words they sang.
Yun Yao selfishly had some judgments about this Great Zhou Dynasty.
This dynasty is a bit sick, the peaceful and prosperous era for more than 100 years has made the officials and the people indulge in pleasure, whether it is the folk or the upper class of society are indulged in singing and dancing, greedy for beauty, and also to be thin and sick for beauty, so that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is full of beauty and grace.
It's just that such a dynasty is completely unable to resist foreign aggression, and if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, I am afraid that the romance of the past hundred years will disappear.
Yun Yao shook her head, leaving all these thoughts behind. After eating some more vegetables and filling his stomach, he listened to some of the women next to him with a smile on his face.
After everyone ate for a while, someone suggested that they should write poems and lyrics, and Mrs. Guan San also became interested and called a few people to discuss what to write poems on.
Xi Ying'er put down the wine glass and smiled: "Although the lotus flowers have not bloomed, the lotus leaves in this pond do not look bad, it is better to take the lotus as the theme, whether it is Yonghua or Yongye." ”
"That's good." Several people clapped their hands and laughed.
Mrs. Guan San nodded: "Let's take this as the topic." ”
The topic was set. Everyone began to think about it, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old lady sitting next to Yun Yao, who saw that Yun Yao only cared about eating and drinking, and did not think about poetry. It's a little disdainful, it turns out that this little lady is very unpleasant to look at Yun Yao.
She has always been conceited and beautiful, and I am afraid that there is no better looking than her in the entire Zhenting Mansion, but after looking at Yun Yao, I know that there are still such beauties in the world, and she is completely compared to her. After that, he paid attention to Yun Yao's demeanor and speech, and found that Yun Yao was really a good temperament and character, and he didn't know how to suppress Yun Yao for a while.
At this moment, she saw a good opportunity.
The little lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled: "This sister is not able to speak well, I don't think you are in a hurry, I think you are in a hurry." ”
As soon as she spoke, many people looked at Yun Yao, the youngest daughter of the Song Shoubei family was a straightforward and fast-talking person, and glanced at Yun Yao: "Sister Yun doesn't have a score in her heart, I have to ask you for advice in a while." ”
The little lady who originally spoke also smiled, but she couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes: "My sister looks so graceful, and the poetry must be extremely romantic, which will inevitably open our eyes." ”
Yun Yao saw that everyone's eyes were on her, she didn't feel anything, let alone embarrassed, and put down the cup with a smile: "What is the spectrum in your heart?" So what kind of Rausch poems can I write? It's because I can't write that I'm not in a hurry, I can't write anyway, and I'll see your long knowledge in a while. ”
Hearing Yun Yao say this, everyone laughed, and only said that they had to ask her to evaluate and evaluate it for a while.
Seeing this, Song Xiaoniang was a little embarrassed, and took Yun Yao's hand to make amends: "It's true that I don't know that my sister doesn't understand poetry, so it's difficult for my sister, so I'll give my sister a sinner." ”
Yun Yao hurriedly waved her hand: "What is this, I am not such an elegant person, I don't know what these haves, you don't have to care." ”
The previous little lady pursed her lips: "Sister Song is telling the truth, what is it to accompany her, originally people like us did not teach their children to read and write since childhood, and we didn't think that there were still people who didn't understand literature and ink at today's party." ”
If you want to say that this little lady may have something unintentional, then no one present now can hear that this little lady is deliberately targeting Yun Yao, she just deliberately wants to embarrass Yun Yao.
Mrs. Guan San's face was a little gloomy, and before she could say anything, Yun Yao had already laughed: "Anyway, I don't know poetry, I can't write those, why don't I do a secretary's thing, write down your poems, whoever likes it, copy a copy, and it won't be in vain for us to get acquainted." ”
Xi Ying'er burst out laughing: "This is good, this is good, I was still thinking that we can all write poems and lyrics, but who can write them down, I don't want to really fight for the first, so I will bother Sister Yun." ”
Mrs. Guan San also nodded and chuckled: "I'm tired." ”
While speaking, Mrs. Guan San asked someone to take the four treasures of the study, Yun Yao saw that the paper was cut, but there was no need to cut it again, so she laid out the paper, polished the ink, and picked a pen to prepare.
After a while, someone read out a poem, Yun Yao quickly wrote it down, Xi Ying'er and Song Xiaoniang leaned over to look, and saw that Yun Yao was really fast in writing, and it was really good to write in block letters, not only neat, but also the size of each word was the same, it looked ...... It's like measuring with a ruler.
"That's a good word for sister." Xi Ying'er praised: "My sister said that she didn't understand poetry, but it turned out that this word was written well, and we were all compared, let's go, let's not admit defeat today, my character and character can't be compared, my appearance is far worse, and I can't even say a word or two than my sister, alas, if my sister shows one or two more hands, I can be loveless." ”
Her words completely enlivened the atmosphere of the scene, many people laughed and teased her, Xi Ying'er was not annoyed, and pulled several people to laugh.
For another time, many people read out poems one after another, Yun Yao remembered unhurriedly, her pen was fast, almost she could keep up with the speed of speech, and the handwriting was not messy at all, many people who saw it were surprised, just said that Yun Yao's hand alone could not be as good as how many men outside, if it was a man, there was no need for scientific research, just with this handwriting, he could go to the court to make a record or something.
The little lady's face was a little pale when she heard these words, and the jealousy in her eyes was even worse.
For a while, everyone wrote poems, judged again, and after listening to the small play, they all got up and said goodbye when it was not too early.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Mrs. Guan San invited Yun Yao and Xi Ying'er to sit in the house again.
Entering the house, Mrs. Guan San pulled Yun Yao and said with a smile: "The one who didn't listen to what she said just now was the little lady of the Wutong judge, this little lady of Wu is not very good, she is the most jealous and talkative, everyone also knows her temperament, just look at the face of the Wutong judge and don't pay much attention to her, what she said, don't take it to heart." ”
"What do I have to do with her?" Yun Yao chuckled.
Xi Ying'er didn't have a smile at this time, and said with a calm face: "This little lady Wu really thinks that she is embarrassing you, but how do you know which lady and grandmother here didn't look at her behavior, I'm afraid everyone is tired of her, and wait, this time she won't be able to please her." ”
Mrs. Guan San was busy asking why, and Xi Ying'er explained: "The Wutong judge is looking for a suitable in-law for her, originally everyone only said that she was young and sometimes spoke straight, but now I see it, who doesn't have an account in his heart, and who is willing to marry this kind of daughter-in-law who has no head and no brains to offend people." ”
Mrs. Guan San also smiled when she heard it: "It's not like that, this time, she has to suffer a big loss." ”
Yun Yao hurriedly said: "I don't care if she suffers or not, but I don't suffer either, I have to thank Sister Xi for her maintenance today." ”
Xi Ying'er pulled Yun Yao: "If you really thank me, and send me the set for Jue Ge'er, I will receive your love." ”
It turned out that there was a four- or five-year-old girl in this Xi Ying'er's family, which was the age when she loved to play and make trouble, Xi Ying'er was only this girl, it hurt something, in order to make her girl happy, she spent a lot of effort to collect a lot of toys, and now Xi Ying'er saw the set of playthings that Yun Yao sent to Guan Qi, and she liked it in her heart, and she also wanted to get a set for her girl, so she would bother to maintain Yun Yao so much.
Yun Yao listened to Ying Cheng and said: "This is easy to say, just wait for me to make a set and send it to you, but what you said reminded me of one thing." ”
Yun Yao looked at Mrs. Guan San, and said to Mrs. Guan San very solemnly: "I can't do anything else, it's this pair of dexterous hands, whether it's embroidery or head jewelry or these toys, you can see it today, I do better than the next ones, I want to open a shop, but I'm afraid I can't get it with one hand, the two sisters and I have a contract, it's better for the three of us to open it together, first, we can make some fat powder money, and second, it's also a livelihood, isn't it."
