Chapter 210: Chrysanthemum Banquet (I)
Meng Feiyang looked at Lu Wanwan's confident appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "Since this is the case, then you can go, but if you are bullied, don't come back and cry with me." ”
Lu Wanwan glanced at Meng Feiyang with disgust when he heard this, and then said coquettishly: "I won't, I'm always the only one who bullies others, and I won't let people bully me." When she said this, there was a faint look of pride between her eyebrows, and she was really full of confidence.
Seeing her so competitive, Meng Feiyang couldn't help but take her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Then I don't know if I can bully you?" ”
Lu Wanwan lowered her eyes, snuggled up in Meng Feiyang's arms softly, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and her cherry lips opened slightly, "Naturally, only Master can bully me." ”
As soon as Lu Wanwan's words fell, Meng Feiyang had already picked her up and slowly walked to the bed, while Lu Wanwan took the initiative to reach out and hook his neck, her eyes were like silk.
Three days later, Lu Wanwan was ready to go to Princess Qin's chrysanthemum banquet, she carefully selected, she chose a pink skirt of double palace silk, the cuffs and skirt corners are embroidered with peach blossoms, the pattern is directly embroidered in light and dark, from a distance it looks like the petals on the tree fall on the skirt but do not fall, it is really exquisite and lifelike.
With the skirt, she chose a pair of peach hairpins and pink dripping earrings, although they were not luxurious, but they were elegant, adding a bit of elegance to her already beautiful appearance.
Lu Wan took it with him in the evening; Liuyun and another maid went to the Qin Wangfu in a carriage, and the carriage stopped at the back door of the Qin Wangfu.
As soon as Lu Wanwan and his party entered, there was already a maid standing at the door. Responsible for registering the visitor roster and collecting chrysanthemums brought by everyone.
Before Lu Wanwan gave instructions, Liuyun had already asked the two little maids to hug the chrysanthemums they brought, and the onlookers were all amazed when they saw their chrysanthemums.
Lu Wanwan's face was also a little colorful, this pot of chrysanthemums was given to her by Meng Feiyang, saying that since she was participating in the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting on behalf of the Zheng Mansion, she couldn't fall into fame, so she found this pot of famous chrysanthemums.
Lu Wanwan doesn't know much about chrysanthemums, but just looks at the appearance. also knew that the chrysanthemums Meng Feiyang gave her were extraordinary. That chrysanthemum has a nice name. It is called the snow cover red plum, and the flower color is light purple red, with yellow, green, and white. The thin tube has a thin deformed spoon lobe, and the peripheral lobes are long, drifting or hanging. It's good-looking. At the end of the petal, there are bead-like spoon rings of different sizes and teratous spoon petals, spoon rings, and teratous spoon petal tips are red, yellow, green and white variegated. The proximal medial flap is tightly embraced or curled. The spoon ring is like a bud bud for the first time.
Lu Wanwan and his party stayed at the door for a while. They were welcomed into the mansion, and soon they arrived at the back garden of the Qin Palace, which was already full of people. The female dependents who come and go are beautifully dressed and have excellent appearance, and Lu Wan is still wearing a hat at this time, which is not so outstanding among the many warblers and swallows.
I didn't expect it to be such a grand scene, Liuyun and a few little maids behind him all showed a look of amazement, thinking that there was no hostess in the Zheng Mansion in the past, and they would hardly have the opportunity to participate in such a grand event.
After Lu Wanwan let a few maids and servants stay outside, he slowly walked into the garden with only Liuyun.
The servants who appeared in the garden of King Qin's mansion were all very graceful and polite, and after glancing at the envelope with Princess Qin's invitation handwritten letter handed over by Lu Wanwan, a beautiful maid hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Zheng." Mrs. Zheng, please. Under the leadership of this maid, Lu Wanwan walked through the overlapping corridors and came to a pavilion for viewing flowers.
At this time, it is late autumn, and most of the trees in the garden are withered, but it is now afternoon. The sun gradually sinks in the west, and the golden light of the sun shines on the lake on the left side of the pavilion, shining on the pavilion and pavilion, and there is also a bit of strong autumn mood.
As soon as Lu Wan appeared in the evening, she attracted the attention of everyone in the pavilion, most of these ladies had never seen her, and she wore a hat mysteriously, which made people even more curious.
Lu Wanwan stopped at the door, then took off the hat on her head and handed it to Liuyun, as soon as she showed up like this, everyone in the building let out a low exclamation, and everyone's eyes were glued to Lu Wanwan's body.
Since ancient times, beauties can fall into the city, but this is also a metaphor, the world is skeptical, what a beautiful beauty it is, will make a city collapse, but Lu Wanwan's appearance is definitely worthy of a country and a city, even if she is wearing rags, she can also let people see her in the crowd at a glance, not to mention that she is dressed up at this time, but also makes people's eyes unable to take their eyes off her, it is really beautiful, the figure is graceful, the eyes are like tears, when looking back and walking, they are all stunning beauty.
Lu Wanwan had long been accustomed to such a gaze in her previous life and present life, she walked into the pavilion calmly, nodded slightly and greeted everyone in the house, and then found a remote place to sit down, looking out the window, as if enjoying the scenery.
At this time, the ladies in the room also regained their calm, but they just sat there in groups of three or five and whispered something, occasionally glancing at Lu Wanwan, their eyes were full of curiosity.
Finally, someone couldn't help it, got up and walked towards Lu Wanwan, it was a richly dressed woman, with a dazzling ruby gold on her head, and a big ruby earring on her ear, she looked like a solid family, she walked to Lu Wanwan and sat down, with a smile on her face, and asked with a friendly attitude: "This sister is very eye-catching, I don't seem to have seen it before, my surname is Lu, my husband's surname is He, do some private salt trading, I don't know my sister ......"
The He family is a wealthy man in the city, making a fortune by selling illicit salt, and it is said that his backer is a big official in the capital, so in this Qi City, there is also a bit of face, Lu Wanwan saw that the lady in front of him had already reported her home, so he also looked at her with a smile, and replied: "My husband's surname is Zheng, but he is a martial artist, and I don't know if Mrs. He has heard of it?" ”
This Lu family city is good, listening to Lu Wan's evening news of Zheng Houzhong's name, his eyes just flickered slightly, and he smiled casually: "Why does my sister want to see me like this, if you don't dislike it, call me sister, I also participated in my sister's wedding, but I couldn't see my sister that day, and I regretted it for a while when I went back, but I didn't expect to meet today." As soon as I saw my sister you, I felt very loved, I grew so big, but I have never seen a woman with a better color than my sister, it really makes our room of children and dependents ashamed of themselves. ”
Lu's words sounded like a compliment, but they were full of hatred for Lu Wanwan, and the faces of the ladies in the room suddenly became unsightly.
Lu Wanwan didn't care, but smiled faintly and said, "Sister Lu is really ridiculous, I can only see a few points of this face." Nothing else is really useless. ”
Lu Wanwan laughed at herself like this. The Lu family didn't know how to answer, she looked at a woman in yellow not far away, then smiled lightly again, and said, "I know that my sister is the young lady of the Dong family." It's just that I've been weak since childhood. I've been recuperating in the countryside. Do you know that your clan sister Dong Xuan is here today, why don't you go over to say hello? ”
Lu Wanwan was slightly stunned and followed Lu's gaze. looked at the woman in yellow, the woman's age was not much older than her, about her early twenties, it was the best age for a woman, her face could only be regarded as delicate, but her figure was graceful and graceful, and she was also very eye-catching among the female dependents, she should be Dong Xuan in Lu's mouth, but her eyes were full of exploration when she looked at Lu Wanwan at the moment, as if it was the first time she had seen her.
Lu Wanwan didn't know if this Miss Dong family knew her details, so she only looked at her slightly, then withdrew her gaze, and said with a light smile: "I left the main family when I was very young and went to the countryside to recuperate. After saying this, Lu Wanwan stood up and walked towards the woman in yellow with graceful steps.
The woman seemed to be a little cramped, and when Lu Wanwan walked in front of her, she also stood up, and when she saw that Lu Wanwan was about to salute, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and said: "Xin'er doesn't need to be polite, they are all their own sisters, why bother to see the outside like this, although you didn't get along with our sisters much before you left the cabinet, we are a family after all, and we will be closer and closer in the future." ”
Lu Wanwan smiled at night, and this sisterhood was quite similar.
Lu's eyes looked at Lu Wanwan and Dong Xuan, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Although the two sisters are sisters, they are not very similar, if you don't know, you would never think that the two of you are a family." ”
Lu Shi's words obviously had a bit of a taste of sowing discord, Dong Xuan's face suddenly became very ugly, and his eyebrows were quite embarrassed.
Lu Wanwan squinted slightly, I don't know if this Lu family wants to target her, or Dong Xuan, but she is not a soft persimmon, anyone can pinch the round and flatten, she covered her lips and smiled, as if she thought of something funny, looked at the Lu family and said slowly: "Sister Lu said this, then you and the eldest lady of the house don't look like a family, these eyes and nose are not similar." ”
The people present listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and their faces were very strange, after all, who here didn't know that the Lu family was married into the He family as a continuation, and the eldest lady of the He family was not her biological daughter, and the two naturally looked different.
The expression on Lu's face was suddenly extremely embarrassed, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, but obviously she also knew that Lu Wanwan was not a bully, and she couldn't afford to offend the Zheng family, so she could only swallow this breath first, and returned to her place with a not very good-looking face.
Lu Wanwan glanced at the Lu family contemptuously, and then turned his head and said to Dong Xuan: "Sister Xuan, don't be angry, some people just can't look down on others." ”
Dong Xuan's face softened a lot at this time, pulled Lu Wanwan to sit down on the seat, and said slowly: "This Lu clan originally dealt with me, and today can be regarded as a burden to you, I see that you are here for the first time to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet today, there should be many things you don't understand, you will follow me for a while."
Lu Wanwan looked at Dong Xuan's kind demeanor, and seemed to not know her true identity, so she relieved her heart and nodded with a smile.
Xu saw Lu Wanwan's sharp teeth, and the people present didn't dare to provoke her anymore, the atmosphere was suddenly much more harmonious, Lu Wanwan and Dong Xuan chatted casually for a while, and then another maid came over and invited everyone to Chonghuayuan.
Chonghuayuan has been almost arranged at this time, the table is listed separately, a pot of chrysanthemums is placed, and there is a passage for walking around in the middle, which is convenient for guests to enjoy the flowers, Princess Qin is directing the people of the palace to put the delicacies on the table on the other side, and there are not only young ladies from famous families in Qicheng who are invited, but also many young talents.
Dong Xuan's interest was very high, she pulled Lu Wanwan, pointed to the male guests not far away, and whispered in her ear: "You may not know, this chrysanthemum appreciation party is held every year, but it actually has another name, that is, 'blind date', don't you see those ladies now, in fact, they are all hiding behind the curtain over there, maybe they have taken a fancy to which son, and they are thinking about how to get acquainted." Dong Xuan said as he pointed to a world separated by a curtain not far away.
Lu Wanwan only glanced at it casually, looking a little absent-minded, she and Dong Xuan walked behind everyone, but they didn't attract the attention of Princess Qin in front of her, and she didn't see Li Wei beside Princess Qin, for some reason, her heart gradually became uneasy.
Suddenly, Lu Wanwan only heard the sound of the jade chime next to him, and the guests naturally stopped talking, but heard Princess Qin smile and said: "Thank you for coming, although there were chrysanthemum banquets in previous years, but not as good as today, the guests gathered, so that the humble house is full of brilliance, I am grateful, only to treat with treasured wine, please be sure to drink a few more glasses later, let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord!" ”
She said, slender jade finger to the side of the case on the various precious chrysanthemums: "Chrysanthemum feast, as the name suggests, since the chrysanthemum is the main, my Qicheng chrysanthemum is also famous in the world, today all kinds of chrysanthemums on the side, but also please all the distinguished guests to move, pick out their favorite pot, put the tooth card in the hand into the bamboo tube in front of the chrysanthemum, and finally win with more tooth cards." ”
The rules are very simple, after the male guests get introductory, each person will get a small ivory card the size of a fingernail, more than 40 chrysanthemums to participate in the competition, and it is also very convenient to count, in this process, the female guests can not go over to meet with the male guests, they can only watch them put the tooth cards in their hands into the bamboo tube in front of the chrysanthemums, and the nervousness in their hearts goes without saying.
Of course, the rewards for the victors are rich, but everyone has not seen the world, and the main purpose is to enjoy the limelight of the stars holding the moon.
Dong Xuan suddenly leaned over and asked Lu Wanwan, "Where are your flowers?" ”
Lu Wanwan Nunu mouthed, and said: "Oh, the second in the second row on the left is, and I was lucky to get such a famous chrysanthemum, so I brought it over to offer ugliness." (To be continued......) I1292
