Chapter 161 Who's Winning Chances?
The sky is clear and the sky is clear.
The sunlight spreads out without any scruples, pouring on the plaque that hangs high and is written like dragons and phoenixes, shining with golden light.
The main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was wide open, and the lights were colorful, and even the two majestic lions at the door seemed to be grinning, quite happy.
The vestibule was vast, full of carriages from various prefectures, and from time to time well-dressed men and women were helped down from the carriages and led into the mansion by the people of the prime minister's house.
The carriage of the Marquis of Xiaoyao stopped in the distance, and as soon as several richly dressed women stood still, a mother-in-law in a sedan chair stepped forward and bowed down to welcome the guests. The sedan chair to the second gate, the female dependents walked.
The prime minister's mansion in spring, Zhumen Shenyuan, the scenery is quite good. Small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, a rich scene.
Li Fengjin, who was dressed in jewels, looked at the surrounding scenery, rubbed the Liu family beside him with his arm, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, look at the grandeur of this Manchu mansion, it is worthy of being the head of the four great families in Kyushu." ”
Liu Ting sneered: "When you see someone, I'm afraid you won't just sigh at the grandeur of this high mansion." ”
Li Fengjin was so happy that he grabbed Liu's hand and said hurriedly: "Uncle, let's go quickly!" ”
Qian Yuan, the wife of the Hou Ye beside her, laughed angrily: "What stupid things are you talking about? You didn't see those subordinates staring at you, and you didn't let me walk slowly and steadily, so as not to show jokes to others. ”
Li Fengjin raised his eyes, and sure enough, the busy maids and mothers-in-law around him came over from time to time.
Li Fengjin smiled proudly, straightened his waist, and smiled proudly.
Seeing his niece's demeanor, Liu hurriedly whispered: "In the family, every word and deed is the most decorative. When you get inside, laugh more and talk less. If you talk too much, you will lose, and you have to leave a good impression on the Gao family. ”
Li Fengjin said disapprerovingly: "Auntie, don't worry. I won't lose to someone surnamed Yang. ”
……
"Mrs. Xiaoyaohou, eldest lady, Mrs. Qian has arrived!"
With a shout, the flower hall was suddenly silent.
I saw two middle-aged women behind them, followed by a young woman dressed in makeup.
The woman wears a begonia red entwined grape ornament shirt, and the phoenix hairpin on her head spreads her wings and wants to fly, lining her body brightly and moving. Extraordinary. Look at the face. The makeup is exquisite, the face is like a peach blossom, except that the powder is slightly too heavy. It's not a beauty.
Orange squeezed in the maid, stretched out his head and looked out a few times, secretly pulled the corner of Lin Xi's clothes, and said softly: "This kind of person is also worthy of marrying our eldest young master?" An old look. looks two years older. ”
Lynsey glared in impatience.
Sister, just know it in your heart. Why bother to say it out of your mouth? If someone hears about it, won't it be another storm?
Orange glared back.
Lin Xi couldn't resist the power of oranges, so he had to show a smile obediently.
"Grandma Zhang of the Lady of Qinguo's Mansion, Miss has arrived!"
The two of them quickly raised their eyes to look. I unanimously praised it in my heart.
The girl was twenty-eight years old, and she was dressed in white clothes. The skin is so tender that it can almost pinch out the water, and the color on the face is particularly moving. Her thick black hair is combed into a Ruyi bun. Fix it with a white jade prismatic flower double hairpin, and the sideburns simply press a bright peach blossom. Look at it from afar. Extremely clear.
Lin Xi sighed in her heart, one is graceful and luxurious like a peony, the other is delicate and red like a peach blossom, if she is a man, and does not look at the girl's character, only seeing this appearance, she likes that intoxicating peach.
As the saying goes: the peach is dying, scorching its flower, the son is home, and it is suitable for his family. Young Master, you are blessed.
Orange covered his mouth and sneered: "It looks good, but I don't know what the temperament is, if it is tricky, it is not worthy of our eldest young master." ”
Linsey wanted to take a needle and sew the mouth of the person next to her.
Orange girl, this one is not worthy, that one is not worthy, together with heaven and earth, you are good-looking, soft-natured, and more than enough for the eldest young master, but you have to see if your identity is not.
Orange girl, listen to my sister's advice, in the future, you should farm and farm, you should herd sheep and sheep, you should collect rags and rags, live a down-to-earth life, don't think about those things that don't match your identity all day long, it's easy to be high-eyed.
……
Today's banquet in Gaofu invites all relatives who are familiar with it, and their status is either rich or noble. Aunt Zhu's three sisters-in-law, Aunt He's mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law are among them.
The most complete is Aunt Wang's maiden family, mother-in-law, aunt, aunt, sister and sister, and sister-in-law in each room. Because it is a relative of my aunt, I sit in the most corner.
Although Zhu Xunyan had a smile on his face, he couldn't laugh, and his eyes fell on Xia Yinrou, who was surrounded by people, from time to time, and he hated it in his heart.
Xia Yinrou was dressed in a narrow jacket of orange and red satin, embroidered with wisps of gold and a hundred plates wearing flowers and wearing phoenix hairpins, thin fat powder, a pair of bright eyes under the eyebrows of the smoke and willows, looking forward to the posture, a little red lips, and the skin was better than snow. dressed up like this, it seems to interpret the identity of Xiangye's new wife to the extreme.
Zhu's heart said that if the Cui family is there, it will be fine, the Cui family is a high family, and his mother's family is just a five-grade official eunuch family, and the sisters-in-law should pay tribute to the Cui family. This is a country woman from the Xia family, why does she let the stars hold the moon? The person who holds the moon in the stars is her!
Aunt Zhu exhaled two cold air from her nostrils, her eyes showed disdain, she secretly pouted a few times, and patiently talked to her mother's family.
He family's room, Aunt He's is okay, but Aunt He's mother-in-law Chang's face is not happy, as if someone else owes her hundreds of taels of silver, and she doesn't have a good face for the daughter-in-law next to her.
Aunt He was afraid of losing face, so her words were suppressed a few times, and the usual warmth in her eyes was gone.
Although Chang hated this concubine so much in his heart that he gritted his teeth, he had to take care of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the end, and he could show a smile, but it was more ugly than crying.
The daughters of the Wang family are much simpler. Seeing that Xin Fuzheng's wife was so generous and beautiful, he knew that Wang Meiyu couldn't compare to another reincarnation, so she didn't have anything to be angry about. Touching Wang Meiyu's outfit, asking questions and asking questions, there are only two words in her mouth and eyes, "envy",
Yingying Yanyan's room of noble ladies dressed up in makeup, each talking and laughing with others, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of fat powder.
Lynsey and Orange huddled in a corner, their noses itching from the smell of the powder, and they couldn't breathe. She hurriedly raised her chin at the orange, and no matter how she squeezed her eyebrows and glared, she quietly fled while everyone was looking at the visitor.
……
Legend has it that the girl who intends to marry the eldest young master of the Gao family entered the flower hall one after the other, and the eyes of all the ladies and ladies were like searchlights on these two girls.
When Xia Yinrou and the others arrived, they got up, pulled a girl in one hand, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guest, distinguished guest." It's really hard to take your eyes off, two ladies, what a blessing. Jasmine, take your three sisters and say hello to the two ladies! ”
The four young ladies of the Gao Mansion stepped forward and saluted according to their words.
When the ladies saw the new lady acting like this, they understood each other and came forward to salute each other.
They each sat down, and Zhengyang, who was on Xia's side, took the jade tray in the little girl's hand, and sent the two identical red gold and Ruyi hairpins to the two girls.
Li Fengjin and Yang Yun took the salute and couldn't help but raise their eyes to look at each other carefully. One shot down, and their hearts were slightly shocked.
Li Fengjin was surprised by the other party's beauty, and Yang Yun was surprised by the wealth of the Li family, and the two glanced at their faces at the same time, looking at their heads with a smile.
……
The purpose of today's banquet is very clear.
First, it is to let the Xia family, who was supported by his aunt, enter the social stage of the nobles of the Xin Kingdom in a dignified manner. The second is to find a suitable wife for the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion among the young girls.
Let's put aside the marriage of the younger generation, just look at the new wife, the nobles feel that their eyes are bright, and the questions in their hearts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are constantly popping up.
If you want to say which mature man in this world can most cause the ladies to tremble, the first one must bear the brunt of the high minister.
Gao Xiangye's grandfather is a high cadre, and his grandfather's grandfather is still the founding father. The inheritor of a high-ranking family, even if he does not have an official position, the inherent advantages of his privileged class are very comparable.
What's more, this inheritor is still in a high position, one of the assistants of the new emperor in the will of the first emperor, which is already extremely expensive. And this inheritor has a good skin. Just ask, there are a few women in this world who don't want to marry such a man.
Therefore, whether this continuation of Gao Xiangye can be worthy of the dragon and phoenix among people like Gao Xiangye is the common curiosity hidden in the hearts of the nobles of the family.
If the inexplicable marriage a few years ago was the emperor's grace to the Cui family, then Gao Xiang raised an aunt to the right position, I am afraid that it is also to not harm the interests of the eldest young master in the house. After all, this Xia family only has one woman by her side, and she can't set off strong winds and waves.
I thought that the Xia clan was just an ornament, but when I saw it today, all the nobles were secretly frightened in their hearts.
Not to mention the very beautiful face of the new lady, just look at her generous treatment of people, 800 exquisite, and the grace and luxury of the pitcher, it is natural to know that this person can be corrected by the high minister, not only because of a woman's body.
The gossip in a woman's heart is always related to men.
While everyone was shocked by Xia's beauty, they couldn't help but wonder, why was such a woman willing to let her green lantern ancient Buddha for more than ten years? Could it be that the main room is not allowed?
His eyes swept over the three aunts of the Prime Minister's Mansion who were sitting in the corner, and all the nobles suddenly realized.
How could such a high-quality man stop at a woman? Look, which of the concubines and beautiful maids in this room is not the best color? Thinking of the rumors that Xiangye was caught and raped in bed by the Cui family half a year ago, the noble girls looked at Xia's gaze again, and they were a little different.
Xia Yinrou looked at everyone as if she was gone, and only smiled at the two girls Li and Yang, and the eagerness in her eyes seemed to be the two girls in front of her who were her sisters-in-law's prospective daughters-in-law.
Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Qin, and Grandma Zhang of the Qin State Mansion were very satisfied with Xia's focus on their own girls, with a decent smile on their faces, and secretly thinking about who had a better chance of winning in this game.
Xia Yinrou looked at the two girls in front of her, and her heart was filled with bitterness. (To be continued)
