86_86297In the backyard of Fengmoxuan, a large number of plum trees stretch up on the snow, and the flowers on the branches are blooming one after another, bursting with fragrance, and the scenery is really eye-catching.

Yun Zirao thought of the peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Lady Temple, although she had never seen it, but it must be a wonder to think about it, and the plum blossoms in this garden will definitely be able to compare!

"Mrs. Li?! I thought I was looking at the wrong person, it was really Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, I heard that the lord of Li City ...... "came over and was a woman wearing a bright red jacket, similar to the color of the plum blossoms on the branches, the skin was lined with snow white, the accessories on the bun were simple and lightweight, but they were noble, and a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with colorful butterflies flying stepped on the bluestone path between the snow, which was particularly bright.

When the woman who spoke saw Li Mengshi, she was surprised at first, and then there was a trace of worry in her eyes, from the bottom of her heart, not like a fake.

"Mrs. Shi is polite, my old man's body is no longer in trouble, and you have to worry about it." Li Meng's face did not change when he treated the visitor, but his tone was much more relaxed.

Mrs. Stone?! Could it be Shi Qinyu's wife?! It looks like it!

"That's good, that's good......" Mrs. Shi breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had put down a big stone in her heart, such an expression made Yun Zirao very surprised, didn't she know the relationship between Shi Qinyu and the Li family, or did she know, she just asked this question out of concern for Shi Qinyu?!

"This must be Miss Loei's cousin! It is worthy of being a noble girl nourished by the water and soil of the capital, with such a face, I want to come to the capital, so that many princes and young masters have broken through the threshold! Madame Shi looked at Yun Zirao, the gaze in her eyes was full of pity and sympathy, and she was not as cheerful as she said verbally.

Yun Zirao felt that Madame Shi looked at her very strangely.

"Mrs. Shi, I came to enjoy the plum banquet today, I'm afraid it's for the two young ladies in the house......" Li Mengshi diverted the topic, turned his head and gave Yun Zirao a reassuring look, which made Yun Zirao's heart warm.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Shi heard Li Mengshi talk about her family's two daughters, she immediately opened the conversation box and gushed endlessly, throwing aside all her "concern" for Yun Zirao, "Isn't it, the family has Shuangjiao, and they will be in time for next year, no, the owner of Fengmoxuan sent a post about appreciating the plum banquet......"

After chatting for a while, several prettyly dressed maids from Fengmoxuan came to pass the word, saying that the plum blossom banquet in the backyard hall has begun, and came to ask everyone to go and sit down, drink tea and eat some snacks first, and then perform the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and finally take everyone to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Sure enough, the ancient blind date banquets are all so the same, exactly the same as what they see in modern TV series, they don't need to pay attention to any family background, because these things, parents have already checked them clearly, they just need to take a look at each other and show off their talents, which is almost enough.

The most important thing is that the two families are right, and the parents agree!

Li Mengshi took Yun Zirao to the hall corridor, the hall corridor is actually no different from the corridor of the Li Mansion, but it is more spacious, there is a total of west, surrounded by a boxy courtyard, a platform is built in the middle of the hall, the platform is surrounded by light yarn and the hall corridor, the platform is used to show these men and women to show their talents, there is a desk in the hall, to the rest of the come, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to let the people in the hall and corridor see the performance on the stage, the design is ingenious.

Those who came with their sons sat in the north and south, and those who came with their daughters sat on the east and west sides, connected on all sides, but they were guarded by maids and would not let people move around lightly.

And the seats are all equal, and there is no surprise of zài's identity, because there are no more than two purposes for everyone to come, one is to give their children a blind date, and the other is to come to enjoy the plums.

Li Mengshi took Yun Zirao to the east hall under the guidance of the maid, and sat in the middle position, on the left was the lady Shi, with the two young ladies of the Shi family, the two of them could see from the dress that they were indeed prepared, and it took a lot of thought.

The table next to the right was empty, obviously the invitees had not yet arrived, Yun Zirao watched left and right, and there were almost seven or eight families sitting in the corridor of one side.

A few melodious piano sounds came out, everyone's eyes all looked at the platform in the center of the hall, I don't know when, a figure appeared on the platform, seeing everyone's eyes converge, the piano sound slowly stopped, and the aftermath was curling, endless.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a light blue robe walked out of the stage, and said loudly: "Mo Gongzi in Xia Feng Mo Xuan, thank you to all the ladies, young ladies, young children, and literati and elegant guests for coming to participate in the annual plum banquet of Feng Mo Xuan, the rules are the same as before, first by the sons of each family to show their talents, and then by the young ladies to show, and finally by the three sons of Feng Mo Xuan to judge the best, and give the final gift of the plum banquet, this year's gift is prepared by the owner of Feng Mo Xuan, Ouyang Gongzi himself, the gift is very valuable, It will live up to everyone's expectations! ”

As soon as Mo Gongzi's voice fell, there were bursts of whispering voices in the corridors of the hall on all sides, most of them were saying that Ouyang Chenfeng was preparing gifts, followed by those young masters and young ladies who were eager to try and were discussing the talents to perform on stage.

"Uncle, is it free to come here to enjoy the plum banquet?" Yun Zirao asked in her whispered Li Meng's ear, because she didn't believe that a traitor like Ouyang Chenfeng would do such an elegant thing for no reason, besides, Ouyang Chenfeng was full of copper and peach blossoms, so he didn't look like an elegant person!

"Those who receive the invitation post are free, but those who do not receive the invitation post need one hundred taels of silver per person at the door, but before leaving, Feng Mo Xuan will prepare a lot of snacks, jewelry and gadgets for everyone to buy as a souvenir, and at the plum banquet, for example, a son made a poem, this poem won the first prize, and the people of Feng Mo Xuan will immediately mount it, or carve it, or embroider it, and show it in a variety of different ways, so that those literati and elegant guests can collect and buy!"

Li Mengshi whispered in Yun Zirao's ear, Yun Zirao listened, and sighed in her heart, sure enough, she did not "misread" Ouyang Chenfeng, in Lanling City, the people who can receive the invitation post are all big families with heads and faces, for these big families, one hundred taels of silver is an insult to others, but for those small families, one hundred taels of silver is a symbol of status.

Secondly, those dim sums, jewelry, and gadgets are estimated to be things from Ouyang Chenfeng's other stores, and they are taken and marked with the logo of the plum blossom banquet, and they are bought for those young boys and girls and given to each other, which is another large amount of silver.

Finally, those literati and elegant guests, they came for their own hobby, and those who loved the piano had always loved to collect piano scores; Those who love chess collect chess games; People who love calligraphy and painting collect calligraphy and paintings; The love of poetry and poetry is naturally to collect things related to poetry and poetry, and Feng Moxuan has made these things collected by literati and elegant guests into a variety of forms, and the ultimate goal is also for money!

Yun Zirao's ideas for Ouyang Chenfeng to make money are really admirable!

"Eldest sister?!" Just as Yun Zirao's soul flew out of the sky, conjecture, a surprised and inexplicably strange voice sounded in her ears.

Turning his head, it turned out to be the owner of the seat on the right, but a woman and two young ladies who came here looked at Li Mengshi and her in surprise, which made Yun Zirao a little uncomfortable.

It feels like she and Li Mengshi are some rare species in the zoo and suddenly discovered!

"Auntie, they ......"

"This lady has recognized the wrong person, Mrs. Ben is the eldest lady of the Li family, not your eldest sister, the plum banquet has begun, this lady should take the young lady of the family to the seat!" Li Mengshi's voice was cold, but it was mixed with a little trembling and nervousness, and his eyes were a little moist.

Yun Zirao looked between the two of them, and saw that neither of them spoke anymore, but the woman who called Li Meng's eldest sister kept glancing at Li Meng's side from time to time.

Eldest sister, such a title, Yun Zirao's mind turned, it seems that this woman is very likely to be from the Meng family.

It's just that Li Meng's and the Meng family seem to have severed their relationship in the year when Li Tingxuan's arm was injured, and the specific reason is unknown, but at this moment, from this little subtle feeling, Yun Zirao found that it seems that things are not so simple, the people of the Meng family see Li Meng's with respect and worry, and Li Meng's people see the people of the Meng family, and their feelings fluctuate greatly, Yun Zirao thought, when she returned to Li Mansion today, maybe she can ask Li Tingxuan or Li Hua, Li Meng's treats her very well, if she can help, let Li Meng's and the Meng family repair the relationship, It should be a good thing to think about!

At this moment, there are already two sons on the stage, who is the specific one, Yun Zirao didn't hear the name clearly, only knew that one wrote a couplet, and the other made a poem, all of them were just going through the motions, and they were not very good.

"The eldest son of the Lu family is invited to come to power!" The presiding Mo Gongzi An sang according to the list, and Yun Zirao heard the word Lu family and cheered up.

I saw a man with a bloated body, vague steps, two big black circles on his face, and deep-set eyes, holding a cheesy gold-inlaid folding fan in his hand, his eyes fluttering on the corridors on both sides of the east and west, swaying on the stage, how did Yun Zirao look at how he felt that Lu Dagongzi looked like a round bucket!

"Uncle, this eldest son of Lu is born like this, and the young lady of the Lu family will not be ......."

"Ahem, the eldest son and the second son of the Lu family were born to the eldest lady of the Lu family, and Miss Lu was born to the second lady of the Lu family, and the appearance of the eldest lady of the Lu family and the second lady of the Lu family is not comparable, naturally this is ......" Li Mengshi knew what Yun Zirao wanted to ask, coughed lightly twice, and explained to Yun Zirao that Yun Zirao actually just wanted to divert Li Meng's attention.

"Yes! This is obviously a family, why does it look so strange, I don't know what the second son of Lu looks like? Yun Zirao pretended to mumble to herself, her voice was very small, and only Li Mengshi and Qingle who were standing behind the two of them could hear it clearly.

Qingle covered her mouth and held back a smile, as if she had expected Yun Zirao's speechlessness and embarrassment when she saw Lu Ergongzi.

Lu Dagongzi left a calligraphy on the stage, four lines of nondescript verses, and was invited by Mo Gongzi after writing, Lu Dagongzi was not angry at all, thinking of learning from those literati and scholars, he showed his fan, shook it twice, who knew that the fan was uncontrollable, and was directly shaken out by him, and everyone laughed.

"Poof!" Yun Zirao took a sip of tea and sprayed it all over the ground, but fortunately she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been sprayed on the desk in front of her.

Li Mengshi also pursed his lips, with a little smile on his face.

The laughter on the north and south sides is the loudest, and the east and west sides are women, which have to be somewhat disguised.

Lu Dagongzi made a fool of himself, and he didn't want the fan, and roared at the people who laughed at him: "What are you laughing at, this son's sister is Princess Lie, and this son is the uncle of Prince Lie, laugh again, be careful that this son let King Lie cut off your head!" ”

Yun Zirao shook her head lightly when she heard the unscrupulous words of the eldest prince of Lu, and secretly glad that Li Hua did not marry the young lady of the Lu family, it is not a good thing to have such a big and brainless brother, and I don't know what kind of row Miss Lu will eat when his words reach the ears of the real princess of Lie!

Even if the Lie King is a prince, he can't just cut off people's heads casually, isn't this looking for trouble for the Lie King! Yun Zirao thought that maybe she could catch more of these handles, which would affect the reputation of the Lie King in the future, and cause public indignation among the people at that time, even if Emperor Jin and Jin Aotian could not find evidence to punish the Lie King for a while, but the people wanted, and the Lie King had to surrender to the law!

The laughter in the hall gradually decreased, it seems that everyone is still a little jealous of the relationship between the Lu family and the Lie King, but it is obvious that everyone is a smart person, and the patience of this moment, he will definitely be ruthless when he seizes the opportunity in the future!

In this way...... Yun Zirao has an idea in her heart!

The men who performed on stage one after another, except for a young master from the Wang family who wrote a poem and was praised by the three judges of Fengmoxuan, there was only one man named Mo Li who played the piano well, and the other was a, which was considered unpopular, because there were no other people who played the flute, and it was not as good as the inferior, but the flute sound was melodious, and it was still appreciated by everyone.

And the second son of the Lu family, who Yun Zirao was looking forward to the most, was drawn by Yun Zirao into a forbidden area where he never wanted to intersect in his life, just because the second son of Lu really pressed all the most demeaning words of modern commentators on men, Yun Zirao felt that it was a little insufficient.

Short, acne, ugly......

If it weren't for the fact that he was born in the Lu family and wore gorgeous clothes, Yun Zirao felt that he was really comparable to those ugly-faced beggars on the side of the road! And after the competition, it is definitely the winner!

It is said that although the eldest lady of the Lu family is not outstanding, she is just an ordinary public face, why are these two sons so strange and so "impressive"!

Could it be that the eldest man of the Lu family has an ugly face, Yun Zirao is really indifferent! I am more and more glad that the Li family and the Lu family have no relationship!

After the man was finished, he came to the woman, and before Mo Gongzi was named, Yun Zirao was mentioned, "I heard that Miss Biao from Loei Mansion came to Lanling City from the capital today, why don't you let this noble girl from the capital show us all her talents, they all say that the noble girl of the big family in the capital is not much better than the royal princess, and today is also good for us to open our eyes!" It was the second lady of the Lu family who spoke, and Yun Zirao remembered the timbre of her voice!

Everyone looked to the east in unison, and the ladies and ladies in the east also looked at Yun Zirao like those modern people watching monkeys in the zoo.

Yun Zirao's face was expressionless, waiting for Mo Gongzi to speak.

She is not on those lists, naturally, whether she goes on stage or not depends on her wishes, of course, Yun Zirao knows that it is inevitable to come to power today, but this posture before going to power must be sufficient, people say that they are nobles from the capital, so naturally let their dog eyes appreciate the demeanor of the "noblewomen of the capital"!

"Miss Biao in Loei is not on the list of talents to show today, so whether or not to go on stage, Feng Moxuan has no right to interfere, and everything depends on the meaning of the young lady!" Mo Gongzi opened his mouth, Yun Zirao just smiled, did not say a word, and did not move.

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Yun Zirao was not moved at all, just smiling, dignified and decent, and did enough to be a beautiful and reserved and noble posture.

"What? I heard that Miss Biao of Loei Mansion was born in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion in the capital, isn't it that Miss Biao saw that there were many people today, and she was a little stage frightened, could it be said that Miss Biao has been raised in the boudoir and has never been out of the house?! "Second Mrs. Lu's words are not only a method of agitation, but also a temptation.

The agitation method is naturally deliberately to stimulate Yun Zirao and force Yun Zirao to perform on stage, more in the hope that Yun Zirao will make a fool of herself.

The temptation is naturally that if Yun Zirao is stage frightened and does not dare to come to power, then the matter of the Queen Mother that Yun Zirao said before is naturally subject to doubt, it stands to reason that Yun Zirao has even seen a big man like the Queen Mother, will she be afraid of such a small scene!

Yun Zirao silently praised Second Mrs. Lu in her heart, she is really a powerful character, if she didn't have such a powerful mother, I'm afraid that Miss Lu would not have climbed the Li family first, and then climbed to the Lie King!

"Why did Mrs. Lu say this? Miss Ben knows the attitude of Second Lady Lu towards the Li family, and also knows that Miss Lu has both talent and virtue, and was sent to the Liewang Mansion by a carriage of the Lu family to become the side concubine of the Liewang, and she can be regarded as a member of the noble ladies of the capital, I thought that when the second lady Lu saw Miss Lu, she had already seen the demeanor of the noble lady in the capital, but Zirao listened to the tone of the second lady of Lu, as if she had never seen it, since this was the case, Zirao was respectful and obedient, although it was not comparable to the royal princess, but the ability to open the eyes of the second lady Lu was more than enough, The young masters and ladies who came to the plum blossom banquet today are all elegant and polite people, if Zirao makes a fool of herself for a while, I hope you will forgive me, even if she is a noble girl in the capital, she is just an ordinary person, one nose and two eyes, not three heads and six arms, do you think what Zirao said is right? ”

Yun Zirao's words not only reminded everyone of the relationship between the Lu family and the Li family, but also pointed out the Lu family's ignorance of etiquette, which made everyone unconsciously think of the previous relationship between Miss Lu and Li Hua.

In addition, Second Mrs. Lu said that she wanted to appreciate the demeanor of the noble girl in the capital, Yun Zirao deliberately stimulated Miss Lu to enter the Liewang Mansion, and the Second Mrs. Lu never saw her again, which implicitly showed that Miss Lu was not doing well in the Liewang, and the words of the eldest prince Lu were just in the name of the Liewang, if Miss Lu was in the Liewang Mansion, she would not have the time to come back to see her mother's family!

In the end, Yun Zirao's two simple and playful words impressed everyone, and the interest and jealousy aroused by Mrs. Lu Er at the beginning changed to an appreciative and peaceful mentality.

Whether it is the noble girl in the capital, or the young master and young lady of the various families in Lanling City, they are just ordinary people, perhaps in terms of identity, the noble girl in the capital is indeed enviable, but Yun Zirao's two sentences made everyone psychologically balanced.

"What an ordinary person, Miss Biao of the Li family is really open-minded, peaceful and elegant, originally everyone was just curious about the demeanor of the noble girl in the capital, which made everyone have a little appreciation, no matter how Miss Biao's talent show is today, everyone should only make a friend with Miss Biao, an ordinary person!" Mo Gongzi's eyes were shining, and he looked at Yun Zirao, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of appreciation!

After listening to Yun Zirao's words, and hearing Mo Gongzi's words, she was really about to vomit three liters of blood, and her pretty face was snow-white, so she was not "beautiful"!

How did she know that a small agitation and temptation would make Yun Zirao ridicule the Lu family to this point, and she didn't expect Yun Zirao to analyze her daughter's situation in just one or two sentences, in Lanling City, no one knew that her daughter married into the Liewang Mansion and became a high-ranking side concubine, those noble ladies who used to look down on the Lu family and looked down on her will greet her respectfully when they see her, but now, ...... Catching a glimpse of those noble ladies looking at her dark and inexplicable eyes and mocking faces, Second Lady Lu only felt that there was darkness in front of her, and she was about to faint.

The five fingers were folded, pinched into the palm of the hand, forced himself to be sober, and looked up at the head that he thought was arrogant, Second Mrs. Lu cursed in her heart, cursing Yun Zirao for a while to come to the stage and make a fool of herself, so that the Li Mansion lost face, and her mind flowed quickly, and she began to think of ways to destroy Yun Zirao's reputation......
