Chapter 368: The Most Heartfelt Word (Two More in One)
Because writing poems and painting is a common thing in banquets, the maids and maids quickly put a good application ready. The girls also gathered with a smile on their faces.
Qi Yuexin and Chen Yueying both quietly aimed at Shu Yao and the three sisters of the Yun family.
Shu Yao, Qi Yueling, and the four princesses were sitting in the pavilion talking about embroidery. Before the Chinese New Year, Shu Yao sent Prince Yong his own sewn and embroidered clothes, gloves and other clothes, Prince Yong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and fully expressed this joy in the letter to his daughter, and also "complained" that now the filial piety of the prospective daughter-in-law has been enjoyed, but his baby daughter has never expressed it, even if it is a purse.
Shu Yao couldn't help but laugh when she saw the letter, imagining that Prince Yong should be a serious and cold person who does not smile, but she didn't expect that the letter to her daughter was full of warmth and joy, and her fatherly heart jumped on the paper.
Shu Yao also has a feeling that Qi Haoning should have read too many of his father's letters since he was a child, and he is used to the kind of direct expression that seems to be speaking in person, so that people who read the letters can almost feel the heat of each word.
Qi Yueling directly relied on Shu Yao: "I don't care, Sister Yao'er wants to teach me to make the most beautiful purse, so I can send it to my father." My father didn't expect to ask me for a purse before, but it was all made by Sister Yao'er, so now you have to be responsible. ”
Such a "trick" Shu Yao is willing to accept it, even if Qi Yueling's status is noble, it is better for a woman to have a good female celebrity. You don't have to do it often, and you can be pleasantly surprised if you express your heart once in a while, right?
So, Qi Yueling, who had always been too lazy to move the needle, obediently made two purses under the guidance of Shu Yao, although they were only embroidered with a simple auspicious cloud pattern. But it's pretty fine. It is already a very rare work for Qi Yueling. Looking left and right, he was so happy that he was even very interested, and embroidered two men's handkerchiefs one after another, made two pairs of socks, and asked Gui Bo to send them to the southwest together.
Qi Yueling also attached a letter, telling her father that it was Yao'er's sister who instructed her to make these things, and her mother taught her to embroider and she felt irritable. Sister Yao'er taught it very interesting.
Within two months, Gui Bo sent a gift box, which was some exquisite knick-knacks from Thonburi and Burma. Prince Yong specially asked people to send back to the capital, two boxes, one box for Qi Yueling and Shu Yao, which shows the joy of the prince.
The prince also asked his baby daughter for a robe that she had embroidered by herself, and even the size was attached, presumably given by the aunt in the Southwest General's Mansion. Prince Yong's requirements are not high, let Qi Yueling do it slowly, and it will be very satisfying to let him wear it during the New Year.
Since I saw that "happy eyebrows". Qi Yueling and the fourth princess are interested in learning embroidery. When Qi Yueling saw his father's request, he immediately "determined" to make an impressive brocade robe. Shu Yao doesn't hide her secrets either. Teach them the most basic three-dimensional embroidery method, and propose that Qi Yueling embroider bamboo, so that as long as Qi Yueling's basic embroidery method is played well, it is enough to make the bamboo "amazing".
The fourth princess was stimulated and decided to work with Qi Yueling to make a robe for her father and embroider bamboo, anyway, everyone knows that the current emperor and Prince Yong have liked bamboo since childhood.
No, at this moment, Qi Yueling and the others were asking Shu Yao for advice on the problems they encountered when embroidering bamboo leaves.
The three of them were talking vigorously, not noticing the situation here. However, the fourth princess and the lord of Yuegui County did not come to attend the banquet, so naturally there was no need to participate in their activities.
And the lord of Fuxing, at the Daughter's Day banquet of the Jingguo Mansion, among the poems written by everyone, the works of the lord of Fuxing ranked first, not only the poems are good, but the willow characters in one hand are even more thin and vigorous, and they are strong and boneless. Therefore, the people who attended that banquet wished that the lord of Fuxing County had not heard the proposal to write poetry and would not come.
It's a pity that Qi Yuexin is not among them, she doesn't think Shu Yao writes badly, it's just that Shu Yao doesn't know what Lu Dao is doing here, how she saw the three sisters of the Yun family making a fool of herself, and how she saw Shu Yao nervous and embarrassed.
So, a maid walked over and saluted Shu Yao: "Lord Fuxing, I'm writing poems over there to make fun, everyone is participating, do you want to be together?" ”
Shu Yao smiled: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look too." "If you're here, why be arrogant? Generally speaking, Shu Yao will participate in the activities at the banquet.
"We're going, we're going." The fourth princess and Qi Yueling followed Shu Yao, and they rarely participated in banquets outside the palace, and they were all children, and they were very interested in joining in the fun.
Seeing Shu Yao and the three of them getting up and walking over here, Sima Yan frowned, how could she forget that with Xia Shuyao here, she was going to be second? That's it, today I have already said that it is not a competition, with Qi Yuexin and Chen Yueying here, everyone's interest will only focus on those three later.
What are "those three people", not "those three words" and "those three poems"? Just because in Sima Yan's opinion, the three sisters of the Yun family should not even dare to pick up a pen at all.
Qi Yuexin and Chen Yueying were very energetic, they saw that the three of them in Yunting were all worried, and they seemed to have seen the embarrassment and uneasiness on Shu Yao's face for a while.
It's a pity that neither Shu Yao nor the three Yunting sisters have thought about these things at all.
While walking, Shu Yao was still talking to Qi Yueling and the others about where to pay attention to when embroidering bamboo leaves. The three of them walked together, avoiding the others, discussing which of the poems they memorized were about flowers, and whether there were any such flowers in this garden.
Because Luo's dowry has two large boxes of books, the four sisters (including the eldest sister Yunxin, who married and stayed in the northwest) had no toys when they were children, and the most often played game was the competition to recognize words, and later they competed to recite poems when they knew more words, whether it was in laundry, embroidery purse, pulling weeds in the field, or going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables...... It's their fun to work and compete at the same time.
If they are asked to compose poems, they will not be able to, but they can still recite a lot, especially the youngest Yunyi, who can be recited for half an hour with his mouth open.
Yun Li is the most worried, she has half of her free time to practice martial arts, and she doesn't memorize as many poems as her sister Yunting and cousin Yunyi, so she begged Yunyi pitifully: "Fourth sister, remind me quickly, even if I memorize it, I will forget most of it now." ”
And Yun Li was sad that all they had seen before were wildflowers in the mountains and meadows. The precious flowers are all after entering Beijing. I recognized some in the garden of the Lianghou Mansion. Not very familiar.
These three sisters are honest people, abide by the rules of the game, and say that they want to praise a flower in the garden, and they really admit to death.
Or Yun Li's mind turned: "What are you afraid of?" Anyway, we'll write about those precious flowers, well, the names of those flowers that I heard in Yao'er's cousin's house. There are so many flowers in this yard, I believe there are them, didn't the lady just say it? There are so many varieties of flowers in Prince Yong's mansion that they can bloom and show. ”
Yun Li's eyes lit up. That's right, anyway, as long as they write poems, do they ask them to paste the poems they write on the corresponding flowers?
The three sisters had a small voice, and others couldn't hear what they were muttering, and when they saw their sad faces, they all thought that they were probably illiterate. After all, isn't the situation of the Yun family there? Some people gloated, and most people were quite sympathetic to the three sisters.
The ladies over there happened to be watching the play, and when they heard that they were writing poems here, they all gathered over to take a look. has his own daughter and daughter-in-law among them, and he has a heart of comparison.
Mrs. Chen was worried. For fear that Chen Yueying would make a fool of herself again, although Chen Yueying's words are neat, they are really not good. How could she have thought that this "writing poems for fun" was still strongly encouraged by Chen Yueying?
Mrs. Chen also saw that the three daughters of the Yun family were discussing something with a sad face, and like everyone else, she naturally thought that they were illiterate and couldn't write, so she immediately relaxed her brows, and it was a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Mrs. Chen walked next to Chen Yueying, pulled Chen Yueying in her hand, but her eyes looked at the three people from Yunting who had just finished muttering and were walking towards the table, and said with a loving face: "If you are interested, you can write if you are interested, and if you are not interested, you don't have to force it, right?" I heard Concubine Zhao say that the banquet will start soon, and it will take a lot of time to read what so many people have written. ”
Mrs. Chen thought that the three of Yunting would definitely take advantage of the steps to go down, so she stopped writing, and then asked Chen Yueying to follow "not interested", she believed that as long as someone took the lead and gave up first, many girls present would be willing to be "not interested". After all, everyone likes to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and everyone has to write that there is no way to avoid it, and it is natural to avoid it. There are several talented women such as the lord of Fuxing, the second princess, and Mrs. Yu, who wants to be a foil?
Mrs. Chen thinks well, such a simple and single sentence, first, to show goodwill to Shu Yao and the Yun family, second, to avoid her daughter from being embarrassed again, and third, those who don't want to be green leaves and red flowers will also appreciate her empathy.
It's a pity that Chen Yueying didn't understand her distress, for fear that the three of Yunting would take advantage of the situation to express their disinterest, so they hurriedly said: "This is not only fun, but also a congratulatory heart to Mrs. Ruan, naturally everyone has to write it, so it's lively." If you write well or not, it's all a piece of mind, isn't it? ”
Yun Li had just memorized the poem that Yun Yi had recited to her, for fear of forgetting, where was she in the mood to listen to the words of those two mothers and daughters? Just walk up and pick up the pen and start writing, regardless of whether people have started it or not.
This is like a signal called "start", and those who are surprised, not surprised, thoughtful, and unthoughtful all quickly pick up the pen, so that they will not be ugly if they have finished writing later.
Chen Yueying's mother and daughter had the most wonderful faces, and Mrs. Chen was surprised and disappointed that her plan had failed. Only one of the three sisters picked up a pen, so she could write, so she was in a hurry to show off, right? The girl of the Yun family is really overwhelmed! The person who has just returned from the barren land does not know the depth of the road, and she doesn't know how to borrow the ladder, which wastes her scheming.
Before she could finish sighing, she saw Yun Ting and Yun Yi also standing next to Yun Li and picking up the pen......
It wasn't one or two people who were surprised, Sima Yan and Ma Ling'er, who started writing poems, were also shocked, the Yun family was originally a military general, and then they were exiled to the northwest, and the girls in their family were really literate?
Chen Yueying was completely stunned, these three people really know how to write? Or is it pretending?
The fourth princess saw that those people all picked up the pen and lowered their heads to write, only Chen Yueying was still standing there in a daze, and sneered: "That, they are almost finished, why haven't you started to express your heart?" ”
Qi Yueling also smiled: "This is what the imperial grandmother said, the person who is the happiest moves the most." ”
Shu Yao shook her head secretly while writing: These two girls are not idle to watch the excitement, and they are really unforgiving.
Chen Yueying was pulled by her mother for a while, and then she came back to her senses, realizing that the person who the four princesses were laughing at was her, but those two were not something she could offend, so she was ashamed and annoyed, and walked to an empty seat with a red face and picked up the pen.
Mother Liu is a good person, and she can see some clues from the words of Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter. Leng snorted. A few words were whispered in the ears of the fourth princess. The four princesses are happy. Nodding his head, he exchanged heads with Qi Yueling, his eyebrows fluttered, ha, ha, this trip out of the palace is still fun, great!
A quarter of an hour later, the people who wrote had almost put down their pens, and the fourth princess looked at Chen Yueying: "This princess is very interested." How do you comment after you write it, post it all, or comment one by one? I heard that it was your proposal to write poems and praise flowers this time, so it's up to you to talk about it. ”
Chen Yueying was inexplicably weak-hearted, she didn't expect that the three members of the Yun family were literate, or, if she really dared to pick up a pen and write, where would she think about how to comment? She only thinks that everyone's focus is on watching the three members of the Yun family make a fool of themselves, and the others are just making a show whether they write or not.
"Back to the princess, it's just fun. It's not a game, and you don't need to post a review. Chen Yueying squeaked.
"That's not good." The fourth princess objected, "Isn't it your intention?" How can you do it without quality? Is that Sister Xin? Isn't that sorry for everyone's hard work, written in vain? ”
Having said that, Qi Yuexin can still say it? Her handwriting is still good, and it doesn't matter: "What the fourth princess said is, or, let's put all the words on the table and take turns to walk around, and everyone will taste the products?" ”
The fourth princess shook her head: "It's not good, so what can you taste if you walk around?" It's better to post it out and review it together. However, Sister Yao'er, Second Emperor's Sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu, and those of you who are already good at words, don't show off, just put them on the table for everyone to appreciate and appreciate, so as not to delay everyone's time to sit at the table.
Isn't it the mind? This is not so well written and willing to write people are really hearted, today this princess wants you to evaluate one or two of the most hearted people, this princess and Yueguijun mainly take back to the palace to the imperial grandmother to see, maybe the imperial grandmother will also commend it. ”
The most "heartfelt" words to show the Queen Mother? Four princesses, this is ...... Have fun with the Queen Mother, and embarrass others to make the Queen Mother happy.
Mrs. Chen secretly complained to herself, it's over, she won't really be sent to the family temple this time, right?
Just now, she and a few ladies who couldn't hold back their curiosity quietly walked around behind the three girls of the Yun family and glanced at them a few times, and several ladies kept nodding, she was also shocked, why can't she read? Although the three of them are all silently written poems of the ancients, the poems they choose are very good, not only praising the flowers, but also expressing the meaning of celebration. What's more, the handwriting is all delicate and upright, not to mention how good, but they are all average, or even upper-middle, at least much better than Chen Yueying.
Ma Ling'er also had a black face, and her personal mother whispered a few words in her ear, and she already knew that the three of them were not bad.
The fourth princess said to a lady: "Mrs. Qi, I heard that you have served as a judge several times, and you must have a number of people here who are well-known and well-written, so please do this princess a favor and put aside those words that are too well written, and let everyone enjoy them after the banquet later." ”
Mrs. Qi hurriedly responded: "The honor of the courtiers, I can't bear the word 'help' from Her Royal Highness the Princess, please wait a while." As he spoke, he began to get busy, directing his maid to order all the outstanding words in the day.
Then, the fourth princess smiled and said, "The three sisters of the Yun family have just returned to Beijing, everyone should have never seen their words, right?" Is it as curious as this princess? In this way, post their three words first. ”
The personal grandmother of the fourth princess hurriedly asked several palace maids to go over and posted the words of the three people of Yunting on the display board. Yunting was a little embarrassed: "We are very poor in the northwest, we all use wooden sticks to write on the mud floor, until my father made a general, mentioned Lu, and my mother entered the door, only to add pen, ink, paper and inkstone to our sisters, we write badly, please don't laugh." ”
There was a sigh all around, and many people lowered their heads, isn't this still good? The handwriting with a wooden stick is even better than what they wrote?
Mrs. Qi praised: "Second Miss Yun is too modest, your words are also considered to be in the middle of the crowd, Old Madam Yun is really good at raising her granddaughter, and she can practice at such a level in such a difficult environment, which is really impressive." The poems of the three girls are also well chosen, and it seems that you should have read a lot of books. ”
Yun Ting blushed: "Mrs. Xie Qi, our family couldn't afford to buy books in the past, only two boxes of books from the eldest aunt's marriage, and nothing else I wanted to read." We still have to be female celebrities for money, and we don't have a lot of time, so we don't know how to write poems or anything. She didn't want people to really think that how many books they had read, what if they were to be tested, or asked to write poems or something. If you can't do it, isn't it a loss of the Yun family's face?
I don't want everyone to be shocked, two boxes of books? Most of them read the Analects of Women, the Four Books of Women, and some poems and songs......
Chen Yueying quietly took the water cup handed over by Mrs. Chen and pretended to drink water, but the words on the table were taken away by a palace maid.
The fourth princess snorted: "Mrs. Ma Ba, right?" You don't care about your own heart! I haven't reviewed it yet, what if I accidentally get wet and get it dirty? Didn't it write in vain? Okay, let's taste this painting first. ”
As soon as the words were pasted, Mrs. Chen's face turned white, which was worse than what was written on weekdays!
Can't blame Chen Yueying, she has a weak heart, peeked at the three members of the Yun family while writing, and saw that they looked calm, focused on writing poems, and had no feeling of fear at all, somehow, I suddenly remembered the embarrassment when I played the kite that day, and the more I thought about it, the more empty it became, and the result was ...... (To be continued......)
