Chapter 29: Salutation I
The sound of the axle turning gradually slowed down and stopped. In the distance, I heard a lively sound coming from Liufu, and a singing salute was heard louder than the other.
Ling Qingyun stepped out of the carriage, and saw a full of soft sedan chairs and carriages parked, and then someone trotted up to meet her, it was a clever little girl, and immediately said loudly: "Miss Ling of the General's Mansion has arrived~"
At this time, two more carriages stopped behind Ling Qingyun's carriage, and when the curtain was lifted, it was Ling Ziqi and Ling Ziran, two sisters.
Ling Ziran glanced at Ling Qingyun, her eyes burned with rage, and she said angrily: "It turns out that the eldest sister has arrived, and I thought that the eldest sister forgot Miss Liu's invitation." ”
"Since Miss Liu's invitation has been delivered, I must be coming. How? Is there a problem with the third sister? Ling Qingyun's tail note rose slightly, but it sounded a little soft.
Ling Ziran looked at the jewelry that Ling Qingyun was wearing, bit her lower lip fiercely, her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and she was able to barely squeeze out a smile, this is still the result of Aunt Lin's good teaching: "What did the eldest sister say?" My sister just heard that the eldest sister only turned out Miss Liu's invitation today, and she was worried that the eldest sister didn't prepare a gift. My sister thinks about my eldest sister, how can my eldest sister wronged me? It's not because the prince ......"
As he spoke, Ling Ziran pretended to be panicked and kept silent, but the content and volume of it just happened to attract everyone who was about to enter the door.
"Tsk, it turns out that this General Ling's concubine has this kind of bearing, pity that sister, I heard, it's still the prince's side concubine, why is she still bullied like this?"
"Yes, looking at the hibiscus face, this heart, why is it so vicious!"
"It's said that the concubine was not born to the same mother, no wonder ......"
"I heard that General Ling favors this concubine alone, I'm afraid this sister's life is not easy."
……
The women around them were talking, and the men who heard these words all looked disgusted.
"Why did the third sister say this? My dignified general's daughter, how can her eyelids be so shallow, and she will never blush a side concubine, after all, this is the taste of being a concubine, it is better not to taste it, otherwise, I am afraid that I will teach the descendants badly, I think this feels that Aunt Zhao has a deep understanding of it. Ling Qingyun said sentence by sentence, and the last sentence was even more attached to Ling Ziran's ear. Ling Ziran instantly poured boiling water on the cat, his fingers trembling and pointing at Ling Qingyun, but he reluctantly put it away, but the fingers in his sleeves clenched tighter.
Everyone was in an uproar, not a concubine! Then you have to be, Crown Princess! The queen of the future! is so arrogant, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married?
Ling Qingyun didn't stop, but continued: "My Ling Qingyun's husband can only have me, one couple for a lifetime, no matter how much it is...... So, third sister, do you understand? ”
Everyone was in an uproar again, she, why! Why should a woman ask a man to marry her alone! is so jealous, she has committed seven rules before she gets married, who dares to marry her!
In the sluggishness of everyone, Ling Ziqi, who had been acting as the background, was the first to come to his senses, and played a round at the moment: "Okay, third sister, it's time for us to see each other." ”
Saying that, Ling Ziqi glanced at the Yahuan beside her, and the Yahuan, who was wearing pink clothes, sent the red silk and gold box up, and the person who sang the salute looked at the salute and said in a loud voice: "Miss Ling Er gave a picture of a beauty, a set of mutton fat jade accessories, and a coral carving in the South China Sea~"
Among them, the mutton fat jade accessories and the South China Sea coral are just matching gifts, and the highlight is the beauty picture.
Beauty picture, as the name suggests, must be painted on the most beautiful woman of the dynasty, this extremely test of the painter's pen power, there was a humane: beauty picture, beauty skin. The general idea is that every picture of a beauty is equivalent to a layer of skin peeled off from the beauty, as long as the flesh and bone are attached, it is a peerless beauty. It sounds oozing, but it's really beautiful. The beauties in the beauty picture are carefully collected, and no one knows whether it is a person or a huge force to do this. However, the birth of only three beautiful pictures every year can always arouse everyone's popularity, and it is not an exaggeration to spend a lot of money, and some people even go bankrupt for this, but the people behind it can always get out of the way. In the past, some people suspected that the people who drew the pictures of beauties had ulterior motives, but they always failed. And the beauty picture with the beauty is indeed a good gift.
At that moment, a man wearing a dark cloud brocade robe with high black hair asked, "Dare to ask Miss Ling Er, I wonder if we can enjoy this year's beauty picture?" ”
"How did you get here? Lianyu, why don't you call all the young ladies into the house? Qingling's voice came from far and near, a thin black hair pulled into a half-turned bun wearing a white marble hairpin with a bead pattern on the white marble hairpin, a beautiful face, wearing a piping cotton silk skirt, a gold-inlaid nine dragon beads bracelet on the slender wrist, the waist is sprinkled with satin silk, hanging on it with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers brocade purses, wearing a pair of patterned thin-soled satin shoes on the feet, just walked over, it was really beautiful. It's just that when he looked at Ling Qingyun's appearance and jewelry, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Miss Hui, Lin Shangshu's eldest son wants to see the beauty picture that Miss Ling Er gave you, Miss look ......at it," a little girl ring with a lily bun and a pink skirt with colorful flowers and grass patterns responded.
Miss Liu San smiled generously: "What's so difficult about this, since Lin Gongzi wants to see it, then go into the mansion to take a closer look, presumably, Miss Ling Er won't mind Zi Ning looking at the gift first." ”
"There, it's good that Miss Liu likes it, but this beauty picture was only sent today, and Ziqi hasn't seen it." Ling Ziqi hesitated a little when she heard Liu Zining's words at first glance.
"It's okay, Zi Ning also wants to see if it will be that beauty this year." Liu Zining waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact, her eyes were full of ambition, "Let's go into the house first." ”
"Miss Liu, don't worry, my eldest sister hasn't saluted yet." Ling Ziran rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
Liu Zining smiled in her eyes, and said in a very slow tone: "It's good that Miss Ling is here, this gift, whether you give it or not, it's okay." ”
The atmosphere froze at this moment, and everyone looked at Ling Qingyun with a good look, according to her sister, she only saw the invitation this morning, how could she prepare a gift, it was just a few of those old-fashioned things. Moreover, the sisters of the Ling family seem to be at odds......
There was a faint smile on the corner of Ling Qingyun's lips, but her eyes swept a cold glance at Ling Ziran, and Ling Ziran, who was looking directly, had a dark wind on her back, and her hands and feet were cold before she looked away: "What did Miss Liu say, Miss Liu and Lu today, Qingyun should prepare a generous gift, besides, a concubine, what she said must be true?" Presumably Miss Liu is also clear. ”
On the way here, Bi Lan has told the deeds of this Miss Liu San, although she is a concubine, but her mother is not favored by her father, she can be bullied by everyone when she was young, and even almost ruined her appearance by a favored concubine, and then reversed black and white, she herself was severely punished by the prime minister, to this day, an unfavored concubine has grown into the most favored daughter of the Prime Minister's house, and the first unmarried match was grandly held and the daughter of the ceremony, what kind of wrist is this?
Liu Zining's face changed, and she glanced at Ling Ziran who was speaking disdainfully, she was just a side concubine, not a concubine, if it weren't for the fact that the prince didn't even show up this time, how could it be her turn? Also, who knows if the rumors in the capital are true? Thinking like this, Liu Zining glared at Ling Qingyun with jealousy and hatred.
If Ling Ziran didn't have that smart lady by her side to guide her, it is estimated that she would have been rectified a long time ago and would be difficult to turn over, and the most important point is also the point that she least likes Ling Ziran: look at people's faces. To put it bluntly, I just don't have eyesight. At this moment, Ling Ziran seemed to have forgotten Ling Qingyun's cold eyes, and only listened to her mouth and say quickly: "In that case, why don't you take it out and take a look?" ”
Ling Qingyun pulled the corners of her mouth, glanced at Ling Ziran, looked at Bi Lan, Bi Lan gave a salute, walked to the carriage, and after a while, she took down the two boxes from above, everyone waited with interest, and some even looked at the carriage.
Bi Lan held the box and bent her knees slightly to Liu Zining, and the box was raised above her head and said clearly: "This is my young lady's gift......
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding began to whisper again:
"What? Is the Shofu so poor? Can't even get a decent gift? ”
"The box is good, and the gems on it can be made into jewelry."
"Well, the jewelry on Miss Ling's head is very exquisite, so much so that it looks like it looks like the gem on it, and I don't know where it came from."
……
The topic was unconsciously led to the crystal, Liu Zining's face was a little ugly, and she said with a stiff face: "Miss Ling's courtesy is light and affectionate, come here, please invite all the young ladies and sons to enter the mansion." ”
Ling Qingyun didn't move, and coughed lightly: "Bilan." ”
Bi Lan immediately said quickly: ""Fragrant cheek snow" and "red jade purple" are the same~"
When everyone heard these two names, they were all stunned.
