Chapter 6 Mid-Autumn Festival
The days that followed passed quickly, and Ding Muyan didn't trouble me anymore, but he didn't pay attention to me every time they met, but he didn't talk to me again. And Erniang is still as light as ever, but she didn't trouble me for that day.
The days seem to be quiet again,
In the blink of an eye, it was already September, and the teaching grandmother saw that the rules of the two young ladies had almost learned, and after paying homage to the eldest lady, she also went back to the palace. The various dowries prepared for the eldest sister have also been basically collected, and I heard Rulan say that they are prepared according to the highest specifications of the current marriage girl of one hundred and twenty-eight boxes. This is not surprising, at that time, the royal appointment was also according to the highest 100 boxes, and a garden was densely placed that day, and it took a month for the housekeeper to classify them into the treasury.
The eldest sister is now not out of the door, saying that she is embroidering intimate clothes and trinkets for her future husband in the boudoir. When I heard about it, I was actually quite envious. Seeing her and the crown prince that day, I really hope that they can still be happy in this era when there is no free love. I think the eldest sister who is thinking about embroidery now must still be happy. But when I think about it, if the crown prince succeeds to the throne one day, the three palaces and six courts make me shudder.
Time came to the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in my cranky thoughts. One day, I came to Mochizuki Pavilion with a rare guest, my second sister Ding Muyan. In my memory, she never came here. Rulan led her to wait in the living room on the first floor, and after I came out, she actually said: "You are quite elegantly furnished here!" This sentence actually flattered me a little, so I muttered: "It's still Rulan and they are able to clean up this place very well." ”
She took a sip of tea, but stopped talking.
I was also speechless for a while. The atmosphere was sometimes awkward, and after waiting for a while, she still didn't speak, I was really uncomfortable, took a deep breath, and asked, "I don't know if the second sister is here today, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Mu Qing, it's not that the second sister is mean, but everyone has everyone's luck. The same is true for every family. Since we were born in this prime minister's house, we have to take on this heavy responsibility. Although the honor and disgrace of the Prime Minister has three brothers, it is also closely related to us. I see that you have nothing to do every day, and I am really anxious for you. Only when we women marry a husband who can do it can we glorify our mother's family to the greatest extent. Now the eldest sister has added glory to the Prime Minister's house, so I want to add color too. And when I see you, I'm a little anxious. ”
I pecked at these words, not knowing whether they were true or not. If it is true, although her theory is a little ridiculous, but after all, the starting point is good, if it is false, then someone must have asked her to say this today. So, I made up my mind and kept quiet.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ding Muyan sighed and continued: "Now that the eldest sister is about to get married, there are only two of us left in the Ding Mansion, and I will definitely help you well, but you also have to grow." In this way, the Mid-Autumn Festival in our capital is not out of the pavilion of all the young ladies will open the "moon worship poetry meeting", in the past every year I and the eldest sister are responsible, this year the eldest sister is inconvenient, why don't you join me, I will also take you to see. "Just stared at me after that.
Although she spoke with great sincerity, I always felt a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes.
"Second sister", I slowly thought about the wording, and said: "Your moon worship poetry club, as the name suggests, will definitely make poems." You also know that my sister is illiterate, let alone making poetry, if I go, won't it make people laugh for nothing? ”
She showed a clear expression of "so you know", but then persuaded: "It's okay, I will tell other people that you have been weak since you were a child, and you have not studied attentively, and they will not embarrass you if you think about it." It's just that this poetry meeting, in addition to the young ladies of each family, the queen mother also handpicked a few of everyone's sons, and her old people will also participate, so ...... So......" she paused, and then said as if determined, "so Daddy specially asked me to take you with me." ”
It turned out to be a royal blind date, and it turned out to be the meaning of Dad. I understand a little, but now, now that I know what my father meant, I can't excuse myself. That's it, it's a big deal and don't speak.
I looked up at Ding Muyan: "Then there is Second Sister Lao." ”
