Before the banquet began, it was full of gunpowder.

Li Linfu has just risen in the court, and he can't fight Zhang Jiuling, but in this kind of private gathering of the daughters of celebrities and ladies of the family, Li Linfu's daughter and Zhang Jiuling's granddaughter naturally form an antagonistic relationship, and as soon as he saw the situation in front of him, Yang Yun understood that Miss Zhang was isolated.

These women talked to each other, completely treating Yang Yun as a transparent person, Yang Yun didn't feel that he was being slighted, and stood beside Princess Xianyi with a calm expression.

Li Linfu's daughter is still unknown.

According to Yang Yun's understanding, it is recorded in the "Old Tang Book" that Li Linfu has 25 sons, 25 daughters, and many children, which is said to be very absurd and shameless in disguise.

However, it is recorded in "The Remains of Kaiyuan Tianbao" that Li Linfu only has six daughters.

However, "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" is always a notebook of the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, and it is not accurate, in the end, how many children does Li Linfu have in his family, Yang Yun can't ask directly.

Among the daughters recorded in history, the most famous is Li Tengkong, who later became a Taoist monk, and Li Tengkong once visited Li Bai and wrote poems to commemorate -

Jun Xun vacated the space, should go to Bishan's house. The water licks the mica, and the wind sweeps the heather flowers. If you love seclusion, invite you to make Zixia.

Vacating the air is obviously the way of a certain young lady of the Li family after becoming a monk, as for whether it is the beautiful woman in front of him, Yang Yun does not know.

Perhaps these wealthy daughters deliberately avoided having dealings with young men before they got married, even if Yang Yun was brought by the princess, they were not interested in coming over to talk to each other.

Finally, before entering the table, Princess Xianyi briefly introduced: "This Yang Daochang is the one who once entered the palace and fought with Luo Daochang." ”

"Huh? Could it be that he is the one who successfully restored the statue of the patriarch under the attention of countless Luoyang people? Miss Li asked first, and her beautiful eyes fell on Yang Yun, as if she was a little interested in Yang Yun.

Yang Yun bowed his hand slightly, as a greeting to the women around him.

Princess Xianyi nodded happily and said, "It's him, today this palace brought him to meet your sisters and sisters, if you have any troubles in the future, or encounter any troubles that can't be solved, you can find him." ”

That's what he said, but no one wants to find a little Taoist priest they don't know to solve their own troubles, which is clearly a polite thing said by the princess.

The women present all know how to be measured, how can they ask?

Even Miss Li just glanced at Yang Yun twice, and then accompanied the princess to the banquet hall.

……

……

It came out after a long time.

Zhang Yu, the lady of the Zhang family, finally appeared in the banquet hall accompanied by the female officer, and many female guests had already taken their seats.

When Zhang Yu walked inside from the main entrance, Princess Xianyi greeted her with a smile.

Yang Yun didn't follow, just looked at it from afar, and saw Zhang Yu wearing a plain white gauze skirt, draped in a red brocade, with her hair tied in a bun, and a green feather hairpin obliquely inserted, revealing a white neck like a swan.

The first impression of this woman on Yang Yun was that she was demure, which was diametrically opposed to the aggressive momentum shown by Miss Li.

Every movement and stillness is the appearance!

Yang Yun has never gotten along with the two, so it is not easy to judge the actual character of the second daughter.

Zhang Yu was very gentle in his greetings to Princess Xianyi, and she was absolutely beautiful in temperament, but she lacked a vigorous and heroic spirit and was slightly weak.

When Zhang Yu approached slightly, Yang Yun found that her face was pale, as if she was sick.

The main seat of the banquet was prepared for Princess Xianyi, and there was a small seat on the side of Princess Xianyi owned by Yang Yun.

Yang Yun is a man after all, and he can neither sit at the same table with Princess Xianyi, nor with the daughters of the family who sit on both sides, so he can only sit at a table alone.

It seems that the seats are not large, but the melons, fruits, snacks and dishes on the table are very rich, which shows how much the host of the banquet attaches importance to him.

As for the first seats on the two sides below, they are Miss Li and Miss Zhang, respectively, with a needle-to-wheat appearance.

Seeing Zhang Yu and Miss Li looking at each other, with disgusted expressions on their faces, Yang Yun couldn't help but secretly wonder: "These two incredibly beautiful women won't really fight, right?" ”

He glanced at Miss Li, this hot woman's eyes were scorching, and she had the momentum to rush up to fight, while Zhang Yu's eyes were much gentler, as if she didn't like this kind of dispute at the banquet very much.

"The crowd is almost here, and it's time for the feast to begin."

Princess Xianyi stood up with a smile and began to preside over the banquet, "Today is a gathering between good sisters, you all do it casually, it is sweet and glutinous rice wine, it is not easy to get on it, but if any sister or sister is not strong enough to drink, you can also not drink it and replace it with tea." ”

Immediately, many maidservants came in and brought hot tea to each table.

Princess Xianyi gave two more orders to the female official next to her, and the female official immediately went to arrange a singing and dancing performance.

……

……

The party of the ladies in the boudoir is not so fancy, and at the beginning of the banquet, it is a song and dance performance, and it is still the court ladies who appear.

Yingying Yanyan is a lot more than the wealthy daughters present, the clothes on her body are relatively light, and her temperament is frivolous.

Yang Yun didn't like this form of cabaret very much, even though the women looked very feminine.

Looking at these dancing girls, he remembered the scene when Liu Qingyuan danced for him on the last night in Yizhou.

He couldn't help but think: "I don't know what happened to that slightly rude and willful girl after Wang Yu fell?" ”

Just as he was wandering into the world, a dance ended, and as the music stopped, all the dancers stood in the center of the field, as if waiting for evaluation and reward.

After watching the performance, many famous daughters applauded politely, and Princess Xianyi was very satisfied with the performance.

"Your talents are good, they are pleasing to the eye, and you will be rewarded later." Princess Xianyi happily made a promise.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie."

The dancers are professionally trained and even bow and thank you in unison.

After the dancer retreated to receive the reward, Princess Xianyi tidied up her manners and got up to toast: "Sisters and sisters, today we are gathered together, here the palace will toast a glass of wine, you want to drink wine, drink tea and drink tea, don't be reluctant." ”

The princess wanted to toast, and even if many women present did not like to drink, they would pick up the wine glasses and drink with the princess from afar, especially Miss Li, who poured a full wine early and waited.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, was very uninteresting, holding up a teacup.

Many women drank together, and Yang Yun sat there without moving.

The object of the princess's respect is my sister and sister, and I am not, so naturally I don't need to welcome this courtesy.

After a drink, Princess Xianyi was not reluctant, and she herself was not very good at drinking, so she sat down and gossiped.

I asked you about the damage caused by the earthquake in Tototo last year, whether you provided relief to the victims during the snowstorm at the end of the year, and the harvest of each estate......

Everything is like a routine affair to reflect a Tang princess's concern for people's livelihood and suffering, and each family is a wealthy family in Chang'an and Luoyang, but whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, it will be expressed, even if there is no one, it will exaggerate and say something, in short, no one checks.

"It's not interesting to say that these are so funny, all my sisters and sisters are almost getting married, right? Ask me privately, do you have any matches? ”

Princess Xianyi suddenly asked a very private question.

This kind of topic is probably only asked at a banquet for pure women.

If it were normal times, it would be nothing, but there was an "uninvited guest" here today, and that was Yang Yun.

Even if Princess Xianyi thinks that Yang Yun is young, and he is a Taoist priest and belongs to outsiders, she can't simply classify Yang Yun as a girlfriend.

Asked these women to talk to a man in person about their privacy, they never spoke.

Miss Li was very generous, and said with a smile: "When each family reaches the age of marriage, they will naturally be married, but not everyone will marry." ”

"Oh!?"

Princess Xianyi pondered the meaning of Miss Li's words for a while, and suddenly understood that the other party said that some young ladies would choose to use the method of becoming a Taoist priest to avoid marriage.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were open, and if a woman did not want to marry, she would use the excuse of becoming a monk, so that the family could not force her to marry.

It is impossible for the daughter of a wealthy family to pursue the freedom of marriage, and even if she wants to become a monk, it is not easy.

Zhang Yu, who had been silent before, suddenly asked: "In this way, does the sister of the Li family have plans to escape into the empty door?" ”

These words were full of anger, originally Yang Yun didn't take the weak Zhang Yu seriously, but when he heard this, he realized that Zhang Yu's daughter was not simple, and saw that Li Linfu's daughter began to dominate the banquet intentionally or unintentionally, and immediately launched a counterattack...... As the granddaughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, she is definitely not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.

Miss Li's expression was full of displeasure: "This sister can't afford it, according to the seniority, I should call you a big niece." ”

As her words fell, there was a burst of laughter around her.

The issue of Zhang Yu and Miss Li's seniority is indeed difficult to say.

Princess Xianyi is commensurate with the women present as an equal, but there is always a big difference in the generations of women from each family to the marriageable age, for example, between Zhang Yu and Miss Li, if they are commensurate with sisters, does it mean that Li Linfu is a generation shorter than Zhang Jiuling? How will Li Linfu deal with himself in the DPRK and China in the future?

From this point, Yang Yun could feel that Miss Li was thoughtful, paid attention to some small details, and resolutely did not give Zhang Yu a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Princess Xianyi was slightly embarrassed when she saw the scene, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Everyone has their own hands, why bother more?" ”

"It's better to think about it."

Miss Li's words were scorching, "Since the eldest niece asked, then I will answer, even if I really become a monk, it is not impossible, who said that a woman must marry?" ”

"Li Xilang may not be willing, right?" Zhang Yu also has a woman's help.

Miss Li smiled and said, "Whether my father is willing or not, it has nothing to do with you, can we explain the affairs of our Li family to outsiders?" ”

By this time, the banquet had already been tense.

Princess Xianyi saw that the situation was not right, and it was almost beyond her control, so she hurriedly came out and said again: "A woman is a monk, and she has never been able to take care of heaven and humanity, so I won't discuss this topic today, let's drink." ”

Miss Li was unrelenting: "Speaking of Taoist priests, there is a Heavenly Master who has attained the Tao today, and even the saints are praised and have great skills, why not show your hand in front of my sisters and others?" ”

Princess Xianyi looked at Miss Li, and then at Yang Yun, her face was embarrassed.

At this time, she, the owner, was not as eye-catching as Miss Li.

"Let's ask Daoist Yang about his wishes." Princess Xianyi was stared at by the daughters of famous families present, so she had to ask Yang Yun.

Yang Yun smiled: "It's okay. ”

I didn't say no, I didn't say yes, and the answer was ambiguous.

Miss Li's eyes flashed with essence, and she said: "I heard that Yang Xiaotianshi repaired the stone statue of the ancestor in front of the people of the Eastern Capital, and the world called it immortal law, I wonder if I can show my magic here, so that my sisters can open their eyes?" It's going to ...... The hairpin on the head of the eldest niece of the Zhang family was taken off in the air, so how about I wait to see it? ”
