Chapter 273: New Friends
Han Er asked first: "Sister Gui Geng?" Can you read? "The girls of the noble family and the daughters of the Han family don't have much relationship. Most of these girls from noble families are vulgar people like Zhao Yufei who love vanity and don't know a few words. Where can it compare to the Han family, a family of poetry and books?
"I'm sixteen years old. Sister Gui Geng? I can't talk about reading yet, but when I'm idle, I read some poetry and the like. Later, my sister-in-law taught me to read some of the predecessors' travelogues, miscellaneous talks, but I think it is very interesting, and now I am reading a book of "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" which says that there is a very good way to make zuò fragrant dew, I am taking the maids to make zuò jasmine fragrant dew, since it is not bad, if my sister likes it, I will send a little to your house another day? ”
Han Er's girl was happy when she heard it. I didn't expect to get acquainted with an elegant person today. I like to read poetry, which is very pleasing to Miss Han Er, and I heard that she likes to read travelogues and miscellaneous notes, which shows that she is a tasteful person.
Han Er only felt that it was not easy to finally find a tasteful person among the noble girls in her eyes, so she hurriedly pulled Ling Xue and said, "Then I am really a sister, I am fifteen this year." Whose poems does my sister like? Which one do you like? Who wrote that Xijing Miscellaneous Journal? Can you show me? ”
In fact, the two people are not of the same generation. However, the little girl intersects with each other and has no blood relationship, so they are naturally equals. The two of them were admiring chrysanthemums and talking about poetry at the same time, and they really hated to see each other. Lang Xue didn't know a few people in the capital. Han Er's girl knew some people here. For example, the girls of the Hu family outside Mingzhu are all girls from scholarly families. On weekdays, I have more contact with the girls of the Han family. Although Mingzhu introduced her cousins to Lang Xue just now, these Hu family girls are all arrogant masters, and they have always only been face-saving for the girls of the noble family, and they didn't say anything when they saw a courtesy.
Now with the enthusiastic introduction of Han Er's girl, the girls of the Hu family are interested, and when they ask, they not only know how to read. I also like poetry. It seems that there is still some literary brilliance. I was clamoring to write poems, and the maids on the side had already been ready, and invited a few girls to go to the backyard to enjoy chrysanthemums and poems at the same time. The calligraphy and painting case has long been set up there.
These girls from scholarly families. I was very happy to hear it. The Xungui family rarely prepares these things for guests, so it can be seen that making snow should be a good hand. This county lord of Wenhui should not be a layman. Everyone, you pull me, I call you, and I hugged to the backyard, and saw that all the pen and ink were there, all of them were high-quality, the snow wave paper, wolf hair, blue and white pen wash, it was really elegant.
Everyone talked for a while, and they called out to give poems and chrysanthemums, and there was already a little maid who brought the rhyme book clip, and the girls of these scholarly families took a look, this thing is available, it can be seen that the master is a master, everyone limited the rhyme, and each went to write poems.
These scholarly girls went to the backyard to write poems, the front yard was a lot more leisurely, and there were more than a dozen girls gathered together, these are the girls of the royal family, or the girls of the military general's family, they don't know a few words, and they can't write poems, but they are all dressed up very luxuriously, but there are a few beautiful ones.
The girls were tired of shopping and were sitting in a pavilion drinking tea. Fortunately, the pavilion is spacious enough to sit down.
One of the girls asked, "Where did the eldest girl from the county lord's mansion, Miss Zhao, come from?" Isn't this mansion the county lord of Wenhui? Isn't the male owner Yufei's sister's second brother Lord Zhao of the military department? Where did Miss Zhao come out again? ”
Zhao Yufei gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Hmph, she is also worthy of being called Miss Zhao." Our eldest girl Zhao is the emperor's concubine. has been buried in the Yellow Tomb. Where did this slut come from? ”
As soon as they said this, everyone understood that there was gossip, and they all suddenly came to their senses, and began to ask Zhao Yufei what was going on.
Zhao Yufei didn't say how her mother killed Zhao Chongyi's mother, but simply said that Zhao Rongxue was born to a man in a mountain village after Zhao Chongyi's aunt escaped from the Zhongyi Mansion. has been exiled for many years, and was only recently found back by Zhao Chongyi, and she dared to be called the eldest girl of the Zhao family, but in fact, she has no blood relationship with the Zhao family.
Saying this, these noble ladies suddenly became interested, some said that Rong Xue had a rough life, some said that Rong Xue was pretending to be an official, and some said that the county lord promoted such a sister-in-law, but instead snubbed his serious sister-in-law Zhao Yufei really shouldn't be.
Listening to everyone's gossip, Zhao Yufei felt even more unhappy. One of them, the four girls of the Nan'an family, who always had a separate relationship with Zhao Yufei, deliberately said: "Yufei, you look at how magnificent and elegant the county lord's mansion is, it is not worse than the palace." Not to mention the utensils used, you see these porcelain for us to drink tea, these tables and chairs with chairs, even the light yarn hanging on the side of this pavilion is not an ordinary yarn, this is a very popular bead shadow yarn recently, clear, thin, transparent, bright, like smoke and fog, this is a kind of yarn, only Nanyang and Jiangnan have the product, ten gold is said to cost eighty taels of silver. If we get such a precious material, we must use it to make clothes. But, you see, in the county lord's mansion, this is used to hang on the pavilion in the wind and sun. It's extravagant. Such a good place, why didn't you invite a serious sister-in-law to live. So that our sisters can also come together to enjoy the flowers, drink tea, and have a play? Just let a lowly little girl occupy a place, become the sister-in-law of the county lord, and introduce it to the people in the capital in a grand manner? ”
Zhao Yufei couldn't stand up to this, and left angrily.
There was a smug laugh from the four girls of Nan'an Gong behind her, and Zhao Yufei was even more angry. She walked to the side of her second sister-in-law Chen Wenhui and saw that her second sister-in-law Chen Wenhui was chatting with Chen Wenhui's mother, Mrs. Chen, Bai, so she held back her anger and saluted.
Bai Shi saw Zhao Yufei's puffing appearance at a glance, and he understood what was going on. She smiled secretly in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she smiled amiably and said to Zhao Yufei: "The third girl is here?" Today, you are also the host of half a day, can you help your second sister-in-law entertain the guests well? I haven't seen the three girls for a few days, but the three girls are getting more and more beautiful. Especially this dress, this material, why do I look so familiar? ”
Zhao Yufei was a little embarrassed when she heard Bai praise her like this, the precious material on her body was the two horses that Chen Wenhui gave her when she went back to the Zhongyi Mansion last time, she was busy making clothes, and she really made a lot of envy just now.
Zhao Yufei forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mrs. In-law, for the compliment." This dress was newly made from the material that my second sister-in-law gave me last time. It's the first time I've worn it today. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I have long said that this color is the most suitable for you, and your white and tender skin is the most suitable for this material." If you like it, I still have two finch tweed materials there, and the weather will be cold soon, and these makeup flowers and the like are not easy to wear, or the tweed is thick. My two finches are made of peacock feathers, magnificent, dazzling, if you like, I will have them given to you. Shuilian asked someone to open the storeroom, took it, and sent it to the third girl. ”
Stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, Zhao Yufei originally came to look for trouble, but she didn't say a word, but she already got two horses. What about that finch gold, she has also heard of it, it is a very expensive material, a horse costs nearly two hundred taels of silver, her mother Mrs. Zhao is reluctant to buy it for her, and now the second sister-in-law is two horses, which is really generous.
She was overjoyed and forgot the purpose of her visit. At this time, another lady came over and talked to Mrs. Chen, and Zhao Yufei had to retreat.
This scene was seen by Han. Her sister-in-law, Han Liu, said to Han: "See, how powerful the mother and daughter of the Chen family are." slapped the face of your loyal and righteous Zhao family like this, and you still can't make a sound. The snow girl appeared in the social circle of the capital in such a grand manner, how can she be a person? The family is a high-ranking official, not your loyal and righteous Zhao family, but her county lord's Zhao family, this is to draw a clear line with your loyal and righteous mansion. You, sister-in-law, how did the Duchess of Zhongyi be? ”
Han sighed and said what Mrs. Zhao had blocked Wen Hui before, and she didn't do anything. Then said that Chen Wenhui changed hands on the people sent by her mother-in-law halfway, and no one entered the county lord's mansion. However, the two cooks she sent were already the concubines of her father-in-law, and it was said that she was very favored, and she suppressed the limelight of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao. As for the two cooks in her house, of course, they have also become the concubines of Zhao Chongli, the loyal and righteous duke, and it is time to be favored.
When Han Liushi heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "No wonder you went back to your parents' house a few days ago and looked sullen. You're a fool. Originally, you had a good relationship with Monarch Wenhui, and if you maintain the relationship like this, with the personality of Lord Wenhui, you will definitely not be treated badly. However, you are confused, how can you make such a mistake when you are critical? Don't you know who your mother-in-law is? What's in it for following her. Over the years, have you suffered less under her hands? You stammered your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law gave you some good fruit to eat. But if you offended Lord Wen Hui, not only did you lose the benefits you received, but you also suffered a loss. Your mother-in-law is an inner house woman, what can she give you, your children, and the Han family? But the county lord of Wenhui is different, she is in power, and the husband and wife are deeply trusted by the prince. is still the queen's niece, the governor of Nanyang, and has three cities in his hands, and he can make money with a little bit of stuttering. Can't you tell which one is lighter on both sides and which one is heavier? Tell me, you're so smart on weekdays, why are you confused at this time? (To be continued......)
