Chapter 313, the dim sum festival is praised by everyone, and several men are uneasy to compete for beauty
Duanmu Xuan retreated to the other side of the garden worriedly, but when Cheng Feng came up to joke, he was inevitably a little angry. But he also knew that Cheng Feng had no malicious intentions, so he had to remind him again, in short, Situ Yan could only be his, and others should not think about it.
Cheng Feng was just curious, and he had always regarded Duanmu Xuan as an opponent, after all, the two were of the same age, and they were both famous, rich in learning, and all-round in civil and military affairs.
The Seventh Prince Mu Yi also came today, and he was chatting with Situ Jin at this time, when he saw Duanmu Xuan and Cheng Feng getting up, they sat on the side and watched the play. When he told Situ Jin about the Guogong Mansion, he had the intention of watching the play, and of course he also saved Situ Yan to break off relations with Duanmu Xuan in a fit of anger, so that he would have a chance.
Others may be waiting to see a good show, but Situ Jin is like sitting on pins and needles, gently pulled Duanmu Xuan, and asked in a low voice, "Yan'er is good?" ”
"All well!" Duanmu Xuan can be angry with others, but he can't be angry with others, but he doesn't dare and can't treat Situ Jin. How much Situ Yan cares about his relatives, no one knows better than Duanmu Xuan. If he didn't get the nod from his future uncle, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could hold the beauty.
"That's good! That's good! Situ Jin said it twice in a row, and then he felt a little more relieved. Duanmu Xuan is actually calm on the surface now, after all, the words that Situ Jin said before are in his ears. "Yes, if Situ Yan is reproached by his mother, what can he do even if he stays aside, does he want to turn against his mother. After thinking about it again and again, the only thing he could do now was to stop Situ Yan before he was wronged. But it's not easy to do that, just like that. Although he stole into the inner courtyard, he didn't do anything to help. It's not so much about worrying as it's about being afraid. I'm afraid that the last thing I want will happen! But he didn't dare to show this, otherwise how could he appease Situ Jin.
In addition to a few of their young talents who were interested in Situ Yan, there were also many guests of Grandpa Guo, but these people were all invited to the outer courtyard, and they did not enter the inner courtyard to eat and listen to the play.
Situ Yan walked behind everyone, and with her identity, this position was the best. But Gongsun Yu has always been by the side of the Duchess of Guo, and compared with the two, the Duchess of Guo felt that Situ Yan was not worthy of her son.
In fact, Situ Yan really doesn't care about identity, so she is at the end. She doesn't like a lot of people, rather than being kind to those who pretend to be kind on the surface and dirty in their hearts, it's better to be at ease when she doesn't see these people.
I didn't know if it was intentional when I sat down. Or unintentionally. In short, Cao Ying was actually assigned to Situ Yan's table, and most of the people at the same table were some concubines. This can be regarded as a slap in the face of Cao Ying. Of course, the purpose is also to give Situ Yan a dismissal. It's just that Situ Yan doesn't care at all, it's okay to be at the same table with anyone, she has no intention of having a relationship with these people. However, there are still people who pretend to be aggrieved for Situ Yan and want to use her as a gunman. It's a pity that these people's little tricks can only be reversed.
The Duchess looked proud, thinking that her treacherous plan had succeeded, and she had not forgotten the words of her eldest daughter-in-law just now. Situ Yan's gift list, she has sent someone to see it. It's nothing more than snacks and fruits, not even a decent amount of gold, silver and jade. This gave her an excuse to ridicule Situ Yan.
"Come, ladies are welcome, try the chrysanthemum cake in my house, I specially asked the concubine to get the recipe from the palace kitchen!"
"The Duchess has a heart!" Several ladies took a bite politely, the entrance was soft, with the aroma of chrysanthemums, although it was not a masterpiece, but it was also a rare good product.
"Delicious!" Of course, you have to save face, not to mention that this thing is not unpalatable, and several ladies praised it.
"I just learned that Miss Situ's festival is also some dim sum, but I don't know how to do it, I have already put it on the plate, so I will present it, and everyone will try it!" To put it bluntly, the Duchess of Guo is using Situ Yan as a cook, and this face is not small. Moreover, the Duchess of Guo deliberately raised it, and even Duanmu Xuan and others on the opposite side of the lotus pond heard it.
Situ Jin was worried, and Duanmu Xuan even crushed the chopsticks in his hand. Mother's move was too much.
On the contrary, Situ Yan looked unimpressed, how could the dim sum she made by herself be bad, since the Duchess of Guo wanted to humiliate herself, she just watched the play. She was indifferent, and even Gongsun Yu and Chiyu were nervous together. Even Chiyu wanted to mention Situ Yan several times by pouring tea, but saw that Situ Yan didn't care at all. On the contrary, I don't know what to do.
"It's okay, for a different set, the little girl heard that Situ Mansion has the most famous dim sum shop in the capital, and it is also available in limited quantities every day! I went to buy the maid several times and was snatched up, but now I am stained with the light of the lady, and I can taste the craftsmanship of Situ Mansion! Gongsun Yu was anxious, but he shook out Situ Yan's matter.
The Duchess of the Kingdom was also surprised, the famous dim sum shop in the capital is the only one with a limited supply, but I didn't expect that there were no elders in Situ Mansion, but he was a good businessman. But even so, to put it bluntly, Situ Mansion is at most a merchant, and he is even worse than a student. Of course, looking at Situ Yan is even more unpleasant.
Situ Yan was really helpless to get home, this Gongsun Yu was getting more and more helping, and even Situ Jin was a little angry that Gongsun talked a lot. Gongsun said everything in his words, and he also felt that it was inappropriate, but if he said it, he could not take it back if he wanted to collect it. Just about to explain a few more words for Situ Yan, she saw Situ Yan shaking her head at her, signaling her not to say more, otherwise it would be too wrong. I had to nod apologetically to Situ Yan and eat tea in a muffled voice.
A group of ladies naturally want to follow the coaxing, all say to taste the best dim sum in the capital, dim sum on the table, just on the appearance of the dim sum of the Guogong Mansion compared, chrysanthemums, such as blooming in the brocade plate, become a plate of handicrafts, even chrysanthemum fragrance, no need to eat has been fragrant.
"Drink the fall of magnolia in the morning, dew in the evening, and eat the fall of autumn chrysanthemum. The good sentences in "Lisao" are now at your fingertips, Cheng Feng Xie is good, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to taste this delicacy! Before the sound of surprise arose, the men's praise was already heard on the other side of the pool.
The Duchess of Guo was a blue face, and she originally wanted to use this to ridicule Situ Yan, but she didn't want to give her a long face. Duanmu Xuan was worried. But he was proud. "Just kidding, Yan'er's craftsmanship is much higher than that of the imperial chef, and this chrysanthemum's dim sum is just a clever idea. If only I could let my mother taste Yan'er's cooking skills. You can't swallow your tongue yet! The more I thought about it, the more proud I became, and there was a smile on my face.
Situ glanced at Cheng Feng gratefully, but gave Duanmu Xuan a fierce look. Duanmu Xuangang's smile instantly turned into a grievance, it was not that he didn't want to praise, but he didn't react as fast as Cheng Feng.
Gongsun Yu was also surprised, she knew that Situ Yan was very good at making dim sum, after all, Gongsun Mansion could eat it every day. It's not as delicate and beautiful as today's work.
Situ Yan didn't want to be so troublesome, if she didn't want Situ Jin to make a fool of herself, she would rather have some snacks from the shop.
"Come on. Everyone try it, don't just look at it, no matter how beautiful this dim sum is, if it doesn't taste good. No flavor either! "Someone helped Situ Yan. Naturally, there are people who help the Duchess of the Kingdom, after all, these people plan to marry their daughters into the Guogong Mansion as concubines.
"Let's try it!" Only then did the Duchess come back to her senses and beckoned the guests to try it.
"Delicious!" Although the ladies ate this table sweetly, they could still hold back the praise, but after all, the ladies had seen little in the world, and the words of praise blurted out. Of course, the other side of the pool applauded continuously, and there were even people clamoring for more.
What made the Duchess even more angry was that the outer courtyard also handed in a message, thanking Situ Yan for the ceremony. even asked the Duchess if she could have more, which shows that even the grandfather is addicted. Instead, it was a snack prepared by the Duchess of the Kingdom. No one tasted it again.
Situ Yan sighed while drinking tea, she was also shot while lying down, the more she didn't want to be in the limelight, but the limelight itself would run to her feet, even if she raised her feet, she still couldn't help but be superior.
The Duchess of Guo's face is no longer good-looking, but now that the outer courtyard has released words, she is not good at not expressing her position, "Miss Situ is really surprised by this snack, I don't know which cook in the house has such skills?" ”
"Madame praise, this snack is made by the little girl herself, the gift is from sincerity, the brother is young and the house, the house is not very rich, compared to the antique gold of the ladies, but this heart, but can show my brother and sister a piece of Chicheng! And this dim sum just looks more surprising, if you talk about the taste, it is still the dim sum of the palace chef that is more delicious! ”
The Duchess was even more surprised at this time, she thought that no matter how poor Situ Yan's family was, there would always be a cook to cook, but she didn't want this snack to be from her own hands. But Situ Yan's sincerity made her unable to find any mistakes. I had to force a smile and nodded at Situ Yan, "It's rare!" It's rare for your brother and sister to be sincere! ”
Situ Yan saluted and then sat down, she won again in this round, and without saying a word, she had already won so beautifully. On the other side of the lotus pond, the people who had already thought about Situ Yan were even more eager to see it.
After eating snacks and drinking fragrant tea, Situ Yan was still glad that the banquet was about to disperse, and finally there were no more extraneous branches, but she didn't want the real highlight to begin.
The nurse was unwilling to be defeated, and she came up with a trick again, and hurriedly whispered to the Duchess of the country.
"That's a great idea! Performing talent can not only let Xuan'er see clearly, but also frustrate the little girl's spirit!" A hundred duchesses are in favor. Asked softly the opinions of the ladies. Naturally, it was a hit and it off, and none of these daughters of famous families had learned everything since they were born, but they wanted to show their heads on such occasions.
"Since the ladies are in favor, I wonder which lady would like to be the first to perform for fun?" The Duchess deliberately asked loudly, and several young ladies were eager to try, and pretended to refuse to be reserved, and Situ Yan almost vomited the dim sum she ate.
"Does the young lady have a talent to prepare? The slave is rough and rhythmic, but Miss Dai will try her skills! Chiyu had never seen Situ Yan caressing the qin, so she looked at her with some concern, thinking that her piano skills were acceptable, and she would not lose Miss Situ's face if she performed.
"Don't worry, people want to show, they need a stage, I don't feel like being watched!" Situ Yan didn't want to perform at all. She likes to play the piano, and she also plays it to the people she likes, and she is not interested in these people she doesn't know.
Situ Yan talked to Chiyu in a low voice, and in the eyes of the Duchess of the Kingdom, it became Situ Yan shrinking, which made her even more convinced that Situ Yan was an embroidered pillow, which was useless.
Several young ladies wrote, painted, and stroked the piano, taking turns to perform, Situ Yan ate tea and listened, and poured an expression of watching a play.
The sound of the piano is very impetuous, and the listener has no appetite. Ziheng, Zhongxian, why doesn't Miss Situ perform her talents? Miss Situ was a good match before, but she stumped our talents! "What kind of person is Cheng Feng, where can these vulgar songs get into his ears. Even the Seven Princes couldn't listen to it.
"That's it! Miss Situ's tongue fights the crowd of Confucianism, and her mouth spits lotus flowers, if she wants to overwhelm the crowd, it must be as easy as a hand, how can she be so quiet today, watching others out of the limelight! ”
"Lao Qi is right!" Cheng Feng and the Seventh Prince are a nostril-puffer, and they both want to see Situ Yan's talent.
Duanmu Xuan glanced at Mu Yi, "If you want to see your talent, go home and take a look, I heard that you just invited a troupe in your house!" ”
"Ziheng, what you said is not right, how can you compare Miss Situ with that play!" Mu Yi deliberately instigated, which provoked Duanmu Xuan to almost vent his hatred.
"Ziheng, I don't have the intention of despising Miss Situ, just because of those vulgar and bad songs, I feel really uncomfortable after listening to too many vulgar songs, if Miss Situ doesn't fight, I have to resign first, otherwise my ears can stand it, and my heart can't stand it!" Cheng Feng really couldn't sit still.
"Everyone, with the temper of the sister, I'm afraid it's difficult to do what you want today!" Situ Jin still knows his sister very well, and Situ Yan will definitely not have the mind of being with others for a long time.
It's just that no matter how much he understands, it's useless, how could the set set up by the Duchess of Guo let Situ Yan escape this catastrophe alone. Sure enough, as soon as the last young lady's piano stopped, the voice of the Duchess of the Kingdom rang out.
"The ladies are really extraordinary, outstanding character, this is a master, so that the listener is fascinated, the viewer is fascinated!" The Duchess of Guo can be regarded as exhausting the words of praise and holding several young ladies to the sky one by one.
The few concubines at the same table with Situ Yan looked resentful, and they could also stroke the qin and paint, but how could their mother give them a chance on this occasion. A few people couldn't do anything but breathe fire in their eyes. couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Situ Yan together.
Situ Yan suddenly felt a chill on her body, and before she could react, she saw Cao Ying stand up, "Mother, the young ladies of each family have shown their talents, but Miss Situ is silent on the side, maybe Miss Situ has something amazing, the daughter-in-law is bold, and wants to ask Miss Situ to give a song to bless this chrysanthemum feast!"
