Chapter 2 I've Taken a Fancy to You
The weather in August is still very hot, and the dark green shirt of the county lord of Jinyan reflects the sunset that is about to go down the mountain, like a fairy concubine.
Yu Fei interrupted her thoughts and greeted her with a smile, "A-Niang-" grabbed her mother's arm and sat down on the stool, "I haven't seen you for a while, A-Niang seems to be a little more beautiful!" β
The county lord of Jinyan smiled and said that I am old, and then asked, "Is your brother okay in Northern Xinjiang?" β
"My brother is currently in the army, with his ability, it is difficult for ordinary officers to be injured, some time ago the Magyars came to attack, and he also made a meritorious service, General Zhenbei treated him well, as usual, steadily seek promotion, and it is still possible to return to Beijing during the New Year." Yu Fei smiled.
"That'll be fine." The county lord of Jinyan muttered, "Now that General Zhenbei is ......?" β
"It's General Yuan Shao." Yuan Shao is the right-hand man of the former Zhenbei general Yu Cheng, after Yu Cheng's death, Yuan Shao acted as an agent for northern Xinjiang affairs, and now Fang was promoted to the general of Zhenbei by order of the imperial court.
"Oh......" Lord Jin Yan whispered in his mouth. Yu Fei sighed secretly, since her father died, A-Niang has been hit hard, basically ignoring the world, except for her brothers and sisters, there is nothing that affects her.
"Is my grandmother okay? I haven't seen her in a while, and now that I'm back, it's time to pay a visit. β
Speaking of his mother, the county lord of Jinyan refreshed himself and said with a smile: "Your grandmother also mentioned you a few days ago, now that the filial piety period has passed, your age is indeed not young, it is time to take a good look at others." β
"There's no hurry." Generally, little girls are shy and timid when they mention their relatives, but Yu Fei's face is not red and her heart is not beating and she says: "My brother has not yet married." "Yu Xuan is now crowned, and he and Queen Yao, the eldest of the Wang family, have been married since childhood, and they will be married as soon as the filial piety period passes.
"In the third year of junior high school, your grandmother invited a group of children and young ladies to visit the garden, so you can go too!"
"Okay." Yu Fei smiled. grew up with the Youfang Taoist priests in the mouths of these families, and did not receive the orthodox family rules; After coming back, he followed his father to the military camp and called him brother and sister; Later, his father died, and Fang kept filial piety at home for three years, even so, he still went to northern Xinjiang from time to time. Her upbringing and behavior were criticized by the official family. In the past, although his father was a first-rank general and his mother was the lord of the county, he never pointed at him in person, but now that his father has died, his mother has not shown up in the circle of noble ladies all the year round, and the three highest official positions of their brother and sister are only the fourth rank military attachΓ© of the elder brother. Times have changed, and with her current 'prestige', there are really not many people who dare to marry her.
Alas, it's better to be in the rivers and lakes! Yu Fei sighed secretly, but there was no need to tell Ah Niang about this, just to make her sad.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Fei sat in front of the mirror, with a lot of makeup jewelry in front of him, raised his eyebrows, usually didn't pay attention to makeup, just wanted to be clean and neat, I didn't expect that I had saved so much money. "What kind of makeup do you want to wear today?" The eldest girl Liu'er asked.
"You can do it, just be like those little girls." Yu Fei said briskly.
"Everyone wants to be beautiful, I wish they were better than everyone else's makeup, but you don't have a girl." Liu Er laughed.
Yu Fei often mixed in with the three religions and nine streams when he was a child, and he didn't think much of the ridicule of these maids. "Girl, I trust your craft."
"Thank you girl for your trust." Liu Er smiled and began to apply makeup.
Because she often runs out, Yu Fei's originally white and tender skin is now a little dark, and her eyebrows have not been trimmed, and there is a rare heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Liu Er thought about it in her mind, but she didn't stop in her hand. Draw eyebrows, point red lips, and evenly apply the delicate powder fat on the face, and after a while, a pink little lady with her hair combed to the sky appeared.
Wearing a light goose yellow inner skirt and a white transparent yarn, Yu Fei looked at the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, although this outfit is a little hot, but it does look a lot better, just bear with it!
Jingwangfu
Yu Fei has always been very worried that hesitation, the weather is too hot, her makeup will be spent, and the sweat on her forehead is carefully wiped off by her with a handkerchief. She looked at the sons and ladies who were like a spring breeze in every move not far away, admiring the abnormality, facing the big sun, and wearing so much to still be able to maintain a pleasing eye, it is not easy!
Most of the children of the real family are noble, educated to deal with people since childhood, and they are arrogant and noble in their bones. Compared with these picturesque sons and nobles, Yu Fei, who was sitting crooked on the side like no bones, was very angry, and the county lord of Yunyang stepped forward with a smile, "Why don't you play together?" β
Yu Fei lazily fanned the handkerchief, "It's really hot this day, people don't want to move, cousin don't have to worry about me, it's good for me to sit here." β
The county lord of Yunyang pursed his lips and smiled, "You leather monkey, others don't know, you know that your grandmother is holding this banquet in my name, mostly for you, you sit here and don't move, how can you feel this thousands of scenery?" β
Yu Fei took a sip of herbal tea, looked at the sons and brothers around him a few times, and smiled, "It's really a thousand scenery, but it's a pity that Ah Fei can't be blessed!" β
"Cousin, you also persuade my grandmother not to worry about my affairs, don't become a feud when the marriage is not successful, so it will affect the reputation of the palace."
Yu Fei is also famous in this capital, these princes and ladies of the official family disdain to associate with her, they will come to this banquet, some are to make friends, some are for fun, and some are for the name of the palace, but only they did not come to Yu Fei, even if they saw Yu Fei after coming, they all regarded it as not seeing. Fortunately, Yu Fei is a person, others don't take the initiative to dangle in front of her, and she generally won't take the initiative to provoke others.
There is a green bamboo sea in the bamboo forest building, next to it is a small river full of blooming lotus flowers, there are three or two pavilions in the bamboo sea, and there are carved Chu River Han boundary on the stone bench and stone table. A group of sons and brothers sat in twos and threes, or gathered in a group and didn't know what to say. Some of the girls were boating on the lake, picking lotus flowers, and some of them gathered together to point at the male guests, giggling and laughing.
The Li Dynasty did not pay special attention to the defense of men and women, although there is no example of a woman taking the imperial examination as an official, but a few generations ago, there is still a history of empresses or female generals and female officials, but this does not mean that men and women can pull and pull, and teach each other privately. Yu Chun looked at the wrist that was being held hard, and then looked at the round-faced and delicate woman in front of him, his face was red as if he was about to drip blood, "This girl, let go quickly, like this...... It's so unruly. β
"Don't let go! As soon as I let go, you ran away again, you tell me which son you are first? The girl tilted her head and stared at Yu Chun with her eyes.
