Chapter 63: Colorful Head
Fang Yage followed the reluctant Fang Qiaoqian all the way north, through the winding corridor, and came to the back garden. Fangjia's garden occupies a small area, but there are few buildings, mostly rockery ponds, trees and flowers, which can be seen that it is not used to live in people on weekdays, but is more suitable for playing.
The Fang family naturally does not live in the south of the city where the rich families are concentrated on weekdays, and the garden at this moment is just one of the dowries of Jing Ran. It's just idle on weekdays, but it can be used to cool off in the summer, and the ingenuity club is arranged here for this reason.
Therefore, the ingenuity meeting is nominally run by King Yu's mansion, but in fact, Jing Ran is the person in charge, but the people who come every year are more for the reputation of King Yu, so the outside world has this saying.
Bypassing a moon gate, Fang Yage's eyes suddenly opened up, it was the season of camellia blooming at this moment, and clusters of pink and red camellia decorated the entire garden. A winding path emerges among the flowers, and through an open flat field in front of the path, there are several thick osmanthus trees planted together, and an open pavilion.
At this moment, with the pavilion as the center, with the pink yarn as the top, a shed about half an acre of size was built, and the tail end of the yarn was fixed on the osmanthus tree, which was indescribably chic, and the graceful figures gathered together in groups of three or five to chat under the shed.
The chatting crowd saw that Fang Qiaoqian, who had left earlier, came back with a petite girl, followed by seven or eight maids, and the interesting thing was that Fang Qiaoqian walked behind the girl, and they were all attracted to the spirit, stopped talking and looked here, and there were various speculations about the identity of the other party's Yage.
"Sister Fang, I don't know who this is?"
A girl with a delicate face and wearing a pale pink embroidered red chrysanthemum collar came to Fang Qiaoqian, took Fang Qiaoqian's hand affectionately and asked.
"Sister must not be rude, this is the Anning County Lord of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, don't hurry up and salute and say goodbye!"
Fang Qiaoqian frowned, and said with a stern face, this tone made Fang Yage look at the girl carefully. I saw that this girl was delicate, fair-skinned, with a pair of big watery eyes on her small melon seed face, a small nose, but her lips were slightly plump. Even if she is young, you can see that this girl has a good look.
The girl wore a beaded flower made of pearls the size of lotus seeds on her head, but this pearl was not white, but a rare pink. In addition, the girl wore a string of pink pearl necklaces around her neck, the size of a longan, and the grains were round, which shows that the girl's identity is either rich or expensive.
Fang Yage said that this girl, whether in terms of appearance or dress, had a faint meaning of suppressing Fang Qiaoqian, and it was no wonder that this Fang Qiaoqian didn't like to see others. Fang Yage smiled when he thought of this, and affectionately stretched out his hand to support the girl who was about to salute.
"This girl doesn't need to be polite, just now the county lord heard you call Miss Fang her sister, but she didn't know the girl's name."
Fang Qiaoqian saw that Fang Yage couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, and she suddenly became even more angry and tightened her face. This Fang Yage is deliberately embarrassing himself, just now he said everything in front of his wife that he had to ask her to salute, and he lost her face, and now he is defending himself and teaching a lesson, pretending to be approachable in front of these young ladies, it is simply too deceitful.
When did Fang Qiaoqian suffer such anger, she suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and walked towards the pavilion with the maid raising her legs without saying a word, no longer paying attention to the two behind her.
Fang Yage was not angry, and walked forward with the girl's hand. The girl smiled shyly, and she was generous, "Returning to the county lord, the girl's name is Jing Yunqing, and her father is Jing Huan, the second son of Yuwangfu." ”
Fang Yage turned these words around in his heart, the second son of this Yuwang Mansion is the son of the side concubine Ye Wuwu, which means that this girl is the daughter of the second room of Yuwang Mansion. And Jing Huan's sister is Jing Ran, which means that the girl is Fang Qiaoqian's cousin. That's weird, since the identities of the two are so close, why doesn't Fang Qiaoqian wait to see Jing Yunqing?
Fang Yage didn't know, this Fang Qiaoqian has always been arrogant, and today she is angry, so she naturally can't see others having a good time, just now Fang Yage exempted Jing Yunqing from the courtesy, and inadvertently hooked out the dissatisfaction that she had suppressed in her heart for a long time.
Jing Yunqing is Jing Huan's daughter-in-law, whether it is identity, appearance or speech and demeanor, she is often compared with Fang Qiaoqian on weekdays, although everyone says that these two girls are comparable, but Fang Qiaoqian knows that there are many places where she is inferior to this cousin, so she is very jealous...... In addition, with that unspeakable secret, Fang Qiaoqian is definitely not friendly to Jing Yunqing.
"It turned out to be a young lady of the Jing family, so I said that this bearing is not comparable to ordinary girls."
Although I don't know why Fang Qiaoqian hates Jing Yunqing, the enemy of the enemy is his friend, and Fang Yage did not hesitate to release kindness to Jing Yunqing.
After listening to Fang Yage's words, the ladies of the family were jealous, disdainful, and of course, convincing. This Jing Yunqing is indeed excellent in all aspects, so people have to nod and admit it. No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, seeing Fang Yage coming over with Jing Yunqing, they all bowed down and saluted.
"See the county lord."
Fang Yage smiled kindly, raised his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, this county lord is also here to see a lively today, you don't have to be rigid about your identity, if you don't have fun, that's mine." ”
Everyone naturally got up when they heard Fang Yage say this, and they felt in their hearts that this Anning County Lord had no arrogance, and it seemed that he was not a difficult person to get along with. Of course, there are also people who don't think so, and they have a good time with Fang Qiaoqian on weekdays, and they stand on Fang Qiaoqian's side for no reason at this moment, looking at her face and acting.
Fang Qiaoqian gave up the seat in the middle and sat first in the first place. After that, I saw a maid wearing a blue bibi walking quickly, bowed and said to Fang Qiaoqian: "Miss, the time has come, do you want to start making zuò melons?" ”
Fang Qiaoqian looked around, and sure enough, she saw everyone's eager expressions, so she didn't ask Fang Yage, but said directly: "County Lord, it's time to make zuò flower melons, let's go." ”
Fang Yage was not angry, smiled at Fang Qiaoqian and said, "Just do what Miss Fang said." ”
……
So the young ladies got up under the service of the maids, and saw Bai Zhi take out a small yellow silk umbrella and gently raise it to shade Fang Yage. This small umbrella is made of yellow silk, embroidered with large peonies, and the corners of the umbrella are dripping with colorful glass beads, which looks very delicate. Fang Qiaoqian, who was holding a handkerchief to shade the sun, saw this, her face sank, this Anning county lord was really enjoying it.
A short walk to a corridor made of bamboo, the roof of the shed is covered with verdant grapes to block the sun, and the bottom is neatly arranged with flowers and fruits, as well as delicate knives and trays.
Fang Yage realized at a glance that it turned out that this meant that the ladies of each family wanted to make zuò flower melons by themselves here. I smiled secretly in my heart, this house also has a heart, let people do it here, and they must test their real skills, it seems that they are afraid that someone will abuse the number. But did she hear that the first place in the flower melon making zuò every year was Fang Qiaoqian......
Seeing this, Fang Yage whispered a few words in Zisu's ear, and Zisu took the order and left, without attracting anyone's attention. At this time, Jing Yunqing, who had been in front of Fang Yage, suddenly spoke.
"The county lord may not know when he first comes to this ingenuity meeting, every year we will make zuò flower melons in this shed, and then this flower melon will be brought to the front hall to ask the ladies to taste, and the first one is also a lottery."
Jing Yunqing's words are very appropriate, Fang Yage naturally needs someone to explain when he first arrives, this Jing Yunqing has a heart or not, this intention Fang Yage still has to lead.
"Thank you sister for telling me, you don't say I really don't know, this ingenuity will really be interesting."
After Fang Yage said this, Fang Qiaoqian's face couldn't hold back, this meant that she was too incompetent as the master...... So he sneered: "My sister is really understanding, my sister rushed to finish her words before she could speak, but she shared her worries for her sister." ”
Jing Yunqing was not angry when she heard this, and bowed obediently, "Where is my sister, I am very happy to be able to share my sister's worries for my sister." "I don't know if I'm really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but I'm smiling happily.
"Humph!" The more Fang Qiaoqian thought about it, the more angry she became, so she simply turned her head.
This little hoof will pretend to be a good person, it looks like it has no scheming, but in fact it is the most insidious, and he wants to fight with her for everything at a young age. Looking at Fang Yage again, Fang Qiaoqian thinks that her identity is indeed inferior to Fang Yage, but she is confident that she will not lose in the flower melon system.
At this moment, everyone stood down in the corridor, choosing the flowers and melons that they were good at making, and some people would fold a few flowers, but there was no situation where you were fighting for it. Only Fang Yage actually walked straight through the corridor and sat under the pavilion with the girls, Fang Qiaoqian was stunned, this means not participating......
It turned out that this bamboo corridor was erected next to a small river, which was less than two steps wide, the water was crystal clear, and the bottom was paved with neat pebbles, and a pavilion was built next to it, in which melons and fruits were placed. Fang Yage brought the girls to sit in it at this moment, and it seemed that she had no intention of participating in the system.
Fang Qiaoqian originally intended to suppress Fang Ya Ge here, but seeing that she was not going to end at the moment, her mind changed, and she smiled and spoke to everyone.
"Sisters, every year we are making zuò flower melons, and although there are lottery heads that have won the first place, they are always some guqin, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings. I have an idea, why don't we add some color to ourselves this year, and not too precious, even if it is funny, I can remember the friendship between sisters when we see things in the future. What do you think? ”
As soon as Fang Qiaoqian's words were finished, she withdrew a pair of bracelets in her hand, this bracelet was flawless, it was actually carved from a rare high-grade ice jadeite, and the maid hurriedly took a tray to pick it up.
"I'll take this pair of bracelets, it's not too valuable, it's better than a pair, and the meaning is good. If you can get the sisters in the future, if you can see me in the future, it will be worth it. ”
Seeing Fang Qiaoqian like this, the others didn't lose face, and one by one they took off the most expensive jewelry on their bodies and put them in the tray raised by the maid.
The maid turned down in a circle, and the whole tray was full of jewelry, pure gold hairpins, and pearl necklaces...... Each piece is precious, and the most precious of them is, of course, Fang Qiaoqian's ice bracelet, only Jing Yunqing's pink pearl necklace can match it.
Seeing this, Fang Qiaoqian gave the maid a look, this maid was originally a close servant to Fang Qiaoqian, the master and servant were full of tacit understanding, and when they saw the color, they understood it, and walked towards Fang Yage as soon as their footsteps turned.
