Ten days later, in the twenty-fourth year of Xihe, the beginning of spring.

Mrs. Jiang invited the wives of officials and squires in Yizhou to attend the flower viewing banquet in the prefect's mansion.

The climate of Yizhou is humid and warm, although it is only the beginning of spring, but the pear blossoms and peach blossoms full of trees are very lively, with the silk and bamboo in the garden at this time, it is a prosperous scene in spring.

The Qin family was also invited to participate with her daughter Sister Hui, at this time Sister Hui was nesting in Qin's arms and smelling the incense and drowsy, but she felt a little strange in her heart, and somehow it was not Qin's eldest girl Cuixiu who was waiting on the side today, nor Qin's mother or Xu's mother, but her father's more beautiful aunt Aunt Mai. Her mother is very disciplined, and her aunt and concubine and her have to settle down in the morning and dusk, but she doesn't like to let her aunt serve by her side, and she feels very strange when she goes out to the banquet today and lets Aunt Mai serve by her side.

But she still has a big plan with Jiang Jinxuan tomorrow in her heart, and she can't let the Qin family see anything at this time, these days she has been practicing painting red or laughing with the Qin family obediently.

When they arrived at Jiang's mansion, it was the Zhou family and Sister Xuan who came to greet them in person, and there were a few young ladies and ladies who were unhappy when they saw it, but most of the people at the banquet knew Chu Jinmin's official position and the friendship between the Qin family and the Zhou family, so no one really showed it.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet an ignorant person today, the position is at the back, and it can be seen that the position is not smart, "I just came back from the capital, I heard that this Lord Chu of Zhizhou is a cripple and the family doesn't like it, and the lady is the daughter of a criminal minister, this is it, how can it be worthy of the prefect's wife." ”

The woman was only a teenager, she was pretty, her voice was crisp but a little harsh, and although she whispered to the people beside her, it did not prevent the Qin clan from walking over and listening to it all.

Chu Zhenhui also understood, turned her head and glared at the person who spoke, and said indignantly because she was young: "Although my father is a cripple, he is also an official of the imperial court, and my mother is the daughter of a criminal minister, and she is also ordered from the fifth grade, I don't know what kind of identity my aunt dares to say this." ”

The man was so angry that he opened his mouth to reprimand, "Which lady is this?"

was interrupted coldly by Qin's faint voice: "Presumptuous! Sister Hui, my mother has taught you a long time ago, and you can't argue with the uneducated that you don't want to lose your identity, why did you forget it today. ”

"Yes, mother, my daughter knows her mistake." Sister Hui nodded obediently in response, and ignored the woman who was so angry that she was red-faced with her mother.

When he arrived at the main seat, the Zhou family personally took the Qin family to sit on his lower right, one level lower than Mrs. Tongzhi.

Zhou patted Qin's hand and whispered: "That's the wife of Master Qian, the concubine of a small official in the capital, thinking that we are all dirt buns, and everyone is unreasonable, don't take it to heart." ”

Qin said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, this is underestimating me, what I heard in Beijing over the years is much more ugly than this, but Sister Hui heard someone talk about her father, so she lost her manners, and she also asked her sister to bear with me." ”

"Sister Hui'er, this girl is doing the right thing, where can I bear my father and mother being scolded, and how old is our Sister Hui'er." Zhou patted Sister Hui'er's head and smiled nonchalantly.

Qin pointed to Sister Xuan on the side and said, "Our Sister Xuan is only one year older, so we can help my sister greet the little guests." ”

Just got up to greet her, Sister Xuan was leading a bunch of little girls to laugh together.

Sister Xuan smiled generously: "Sister Xuan can't afford Aunt Qin's praise, if Aunt Qin really praises me, why don't you borrow Sister Hui to me." ”

"You girl, you know how to do things!" Zhou pointed at Jiang Jinxuan's head fiercely, but laughed along.

"Take it, take it, Aunt Qin will give Sister Hui to our Sister Xuan as a reward." Qin also laughed and pushed Sister Hui out twice

"Mother~" Sister Hui looked at Qin pitifully, her clear apricot eyes were full of grievances, but her little hand had already led Sister Xuan'er.

The Qin family and the Zhou family laughed even more when they saw it, "Go quickly, go quickly, don't coax me with your father's trick." ”

"Come on, come on, this is my sister Hui, she is going to play with us in the future, you are not allowed to bully her." Jiang Jinxuan led Sister Hui to the girls' table to introduce everyone, and then introduced everyone to Sister Hui one by one.

There were a lot of people coming, she only remembered that she looked at a few sisters of Sister Xuan's family out of curiosity, but the names and people did not match, and then a bunch of girls recognized it and remembered that the girl who was very beautiful and called Li Yuyi was the eldest lady of the same family, but she was a blur.

But fortunately, Sister Xuan is sociable, and she is not lonely when she chats with her.

Although Sister Xuan is the master's family, she also has a bunch of her own good play, a bunch of squires, a bunch of the official family, and a bunch of concubines, and Sister Hui and Sister Xuan are the ones who come out of the official family.

Although Li Yuyi is very beautiful, she is a girl who speaks little, everyone talks about rouge and gouache, she rarely speaks, she sits upright, and ignores people, like a delicate doll.

Sister Hui is feeling a pity for such a beautiful girl, but I don't know who else provoked the topic: "My ancestor handed down a lone book, which was written by the Antarctic fairy girl, and my father liked it very much, but I looked at it but it was a little jerky and difficult to understand." ”

The delicate doll immediately came to life as if it had twisted a switch, and a pair of delicate eyebrows and eyes immediately became vivid, and she stepped forward and asked again and again: "But the favorite concubine of Emperor Xia Yuan in the previous dynasty, and then the Antarctic Immortal Gu who entered the Buddhist family?" ”

"Yes, yes." The man was also taken aback by such a sudden change in Li Semantics, and nodded in a daze.

Li Yuyi was even more excited: "Can you show me the book?" ”

"Ayi, you're abrupt." Sister Xuan pressed on the shoulder of Li Yuyi, who was a little excited, and reminded. At that time, there was a lone heirloom in the family that was more precious than gold and jade, and it was easy not to borrow, let alone the family's generation.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, Ayi is abrupt." Li Yuyi withdrew his hand a little stupidly, stood up and bowed in a standard posture, and apologized in a low tone.

Miss Zhang's father's official position is not as good as Li Seyi's father, and when he heard Li Yuyi's apology, he also came back to his senses, stood up, saluted back, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, Ayi is a man of temperament, and he loves books, which is incomparable to vulgar people like us." ”

Sister Hui saw that Li Yuyi had returned to her dumb appearance, a little strange, and asked Sister Xuan in a low voice, "What's wrong with her?" And how do you call her Ayi? ”

"Ayi is from Guangzhou, the people over there are called that, I can't tell, she just came and let everyone call it that, everyone called it that, her temperament is not cold, but she only likes those elegant, like books, paintings, and pianos, and she is not very happy with our marriage fat gouache."

Chu Zhenhui nodded and said that she understood, Sister Xuan didn't know very well, but she knew that in another era, she didn't chase Hong Kong dramas, and the customs in Guangzhou were very similar to Hong Kong.

"By the way, I've already arranged it, you just have to come tomorrow, I think you can't control that Mother Zhao, that Mother Wang is steady and listens to you, and you will only take her when the time comes." Sister Xuan whispered again.

Sister Hui nodded in agreement, Sister Xuan was very satisfied when she saw it, and then discussed with a bunch of girls what pastries were delicious, but Li Yuyi didn't speak again, just stared at the Miss Zhang family, looking at people uneasy.

Chu Zhenhui has the impression of the Antarctic fairy girl in her mind, not that her articles are so wonderful, but that she is very familiar with those articles, and they can coincide with the poems she read in her previous life.

And she has read the biography of the wild history, saying that the Antarctic fairy girl has often had amazing poems in the boudoir since she was a child, and she has the color of the country, and when she grew up, Emperor Zhao Yuan naturally recruited her into the palace to become the concubine of the harem, and then the red face couldn't stand the time after all, the color was declining and the love was relaxed, and Emperor Zhao Yuan had a newcomer. The Antarctic fairy girl was indignant, and heartbroken, left a song "Baitou Yin", paid his hair to go to the mountains to practice, since then the "Baitou Yin" is popular and widely sung, I heard that Emperor Yuan read the poem and felt deeply moved, then wanted to welcome back the Antarctic Fairy, but was refused, and then Emperor Yuan had to climb the city tower every day to overlook the direction of the temple where the Antarctic fairy Gu practiced to express his lovesickness.

For this Antarctic fairy girl's poetry book, her father's study also has one, but her father doesn't like poetry, and she is not interested in the articles in it, but she can give it away.

"Sister Ayi, I have a book by Antarctic Fairy Gu there, but it is not an article that Sister Zhang said, but a collection of poems." She leaned next to Li Yuyi and whispered, she couldn't bear to see the sad appearance of the beauty, and she could see that Li Yuyi really liked these things, not vassal elegance.

"Really? Yes"

"Don't worry, no one in our family likes that book, and I can't read it, so it's okay to send it to you, I'll send someone to send it to you in a few days." Li Yuyi is as big as Jiang Jinxuan, but when she heard the words, her face was like breaking ice, she softened, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Sister Hui

"You're Sister Chu Jiahui, right? Good sister, I am very satisfied if you have this heart, even if your family does not allow you to take it, it will be fine, but if you send someone to send a collection of poems another day, I will also ask someone to send you my new agarwood incense. ”

Chu Zhenhui smelled it, and was very beautiful for a while when she was held tightly by the little beauty, but it wasn't until she went home and happily looked for a book that she came back to reminisce, Li Yuyi's words seemed to coax her a little? !
