Chapter 121: Uninvited Guest
The two sisters gritted their teeth in anger behind them, and they looked at each other a few times, and they could find a little anger in each other's eyes. Nan Zixin lowered her voice and said: "Now the ladies are present, and the princes and the little marquis will be there in a while." β
Nan Meng'er said indignantly: "Hmph, today will definitely make that merchant girl ruined!" Otherwise, how can my mother and I swallow this breath, and sister, you are really...... Say what's not in good health? β
Nan Zixin was unhappy, could it be that she was wrong to relieve her sister, "I'm protecting you, otherwise you don't know what it's like to be troubled by Shi Die, Shi Die has always been domineering, and I'm really fed up with her face." β
The two walked away while discussing, but they didn't know that what they said was heard by Fan Ya behind the wall. Fan Ya stood in the shadows, and today she was wearing a purple dress, and if she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't be able to find that there was a person standing there.
After a while, the sons were all present, and they all gathered in the front hall and began to talk about the upcoming Spring Festival, and if they were tired of talking, they turned the topic to the court and talked with relish.
Liu Yin was even more excited at the banquet, maybe he drank too much, and he had the courage to propose that he wanted to go to the backyard to see the young ladies. Several sons were busy laughing and laughing, and they stopped Liu Yin one after another.
After a while, a notice came from the door: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has arrived!" His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived! β
The fifth prince is Tian Yuxiong's younger brother Tian Xinzhi, who rarely moves around on weekdays, but he didn't expect that today's Tianxin County Lord would be able to invite him, and there was a lot of discussion in the crowd.
Liu Yin saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the question mark: "The two highnesses haven't seen each other for a long time, and the five princes can't see them anymore." It's hard to see the five princes, but it's not easy to go out today! β
Tianyu Xiong also greeted Liu Yin, Tianxin only smiled and did not answer, which made it unpredictable to understand this person's temperament.
Liu Yin stood beside Tian Yuxiong, worthy of being the most handsome prince in the royal family, Liu Yin ranked fifth on the list of sons in Beijing, and he was already the appearance of Yushu Linfeng, but now standing next to Tian Yuxiong was compared alive, lost his demeanor, and was elegant.
This look reminded Liu Yin that Nan Shiyu was the fiancΓ©e pointed out to Tian Yuxiong by the official family, and he sighed again and again in his heart for a while.
Liu Yinzheng kept sighing, and a subordinate ran up and nodded: "Your Highness, the little marquis, all the sons, the flowing water in the backyard has been settled, and the county lord has specially asked the servants to come and inform you, please sit down." β
Liu Yin laughed twice, and the first one strode towards the backyard with everyone.
In Tianxin's house, Nan Shiyu re-made a makeup for Tianxin, which can be said to show the advantages of Tianxin's face. At present, Tianxin is a smiling face the size of a palm, her skin is as white as snow, her lips are vermilion, and she has a bit of a national color and heavenly fragrance, Shi Die couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Yu is really a skillful hand, I really envy the county lord, and Sister Yu personally dresses up for her." β
Tianxin looked at her in the bronze mirror and was indeed a lot more radiant, very satisfied, so that the maid on the side hurriedly looked at it, and she still wanted this makeup, "Yes, this county likes it very much!" Sister Rain, the coming day is free, anxious to come to the house to walk around, I heard that you will be thin gold, there is nothing good in this county, only the landscape painting is good, and Sister Rain is invited to write for it. β
The inscription for the painting of the county lord of Tianxin is a supreme honor in the eyes of many young ladies, and they are envious for a while.
Only Nan Meng'er was so angry that she slammed the door out of the house, without the slightest amount of courtesy, Nan Zixin's face was ugly, and she apologized to Tianxin and chased out.
Outside the door, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, Liu Yin's sister Liu Jingzhi and Kong Yiran came together. The two of them are first-class beauties, and they rarely walk together like this in the capital, and their appearance together today has attracted the attention of the ladies present.
Liu Jingzhi stepped on a slight step, and came to say hello to Tianxin with Kong Yiran, and his clothes fluttered along the way, as if he was descending from the world, and he was glamorous.
Nan Shiyu was also quite curious, and noticed Tianxin's expression for a while, but she was a little stunned. Liu Jingzhi stepped forward to say hello, but for some reason Tianxin was a little nervous, and seemed to be quite jealous of Liu Jingzhi. Nan Shiyu couldn't help frowning.
When Kong Yiran passed by Nan Shiyu's side, the two of them glanced at each other, and Kong Yiran said with a smile: "This ...... It must be the second lady of Nanfu, who is as well-behaved and moving as rumored, and she is a beauty. β
Nan Shiyu also smiled back at Kong Yiran, but she didn't say a word and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Tianxin hurriedly quipped: "Look, you must be scaring Sister Yu." Sister Yu is humble, how can she ignore you? Tell me if you bullied Sister Yu somewhere. β
Kong Yiran hurriedly accosted: "Where is the county lord, you can really make fun of me." It's the first time I've met the second lady, so how could I bully someone. β
Liu Jingzhi covered his mouth and smiled: "That's it, the county lord has always been like this, and the county lord in the capital is the best at making fun of people." It's been a long time since we've seen each other, but don't come unharmed. β
The three of them smiled and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite good, but Nan Shiyu kept looking at Tianxin's face, although Tianxin covered it well, Nan Shiyu still caught the panic in her eyes.
It seems that no one else is aware of it, if Shi Die finds out, according to her temperament, she will definitely talk to Nan Shiyu. Nan Shiyu couldn't help but wonder, what was Tianxin nervous about?
Liu Jingzhi said: "County Lord, did you not invite Mr. Du to come?" Isn't it boring that Mr. Du is not there. β
The room was very lively, Tianxin heard the word "Mr. Du", and obviously had a little discomfort on her face, all of which were taken into the eyes of Nan Shiyu.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tianxin took a group of ladies to Liuyu Qushui, and today's Liuyu Qushui was different from the simple banquet on weekdays because of the sons who came.
Shi Die and Nan Shiyu walked behind hand in hand, chattering endlessly: "Sister Yu, how can you talk so little?" Kong Yiran accosted you just now, why did you ignore her? I don't see any hostility towards her, you should find an ally, or if I'm not there one day, won't you be alone and be bullied? β
Nan Shiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, if it's not sincere, it's better not to make friends." β
Shi Die would quite agree with Nan Shiyu, "Well, Sister Yu is also very right, look at the people in this room, whoever dares to stand up and scold the county lord, whoever dares to stand up will marry Jin Lan with whom!" It's a pity that no one stood up, what a bunch of cowards. β
Nan Shiyu hurriedly covered her mouth: "Sister Shi, if you are quiet, you will be heard......"
The maids all followed behind their masters, and Jin Zhi followed behind Nan Shiyu, faintly feeling that Nan Shiyu in front of her was a little unfamiliar, which made her a little unrecognizable, but she didn't know what was wrong.
All the ladies sat down, and the flowing water feast began. Liu Jingzhi and Liu Yin stood at the forefront, "Then my brother will make the question first, right?" β
Tian Yuxiong saw Nan Shiyu and Kong Yiran in the crowd at a glance, he didn't plan to come today, but Tianxinzhi pulled him over, and couldn't help but be curious: "Fifth brother, why did you ask me to come today?" I remember I didn't get an invitation, and it was a bit ...... to come uninvited."
Tianxinzhi interrupted him: "Fourth Emperor Brother, I specially invited you here today because I can't bear to miss a good woman." That woman has always admired you, and you don't want to let others down easily, so when you are a younger brother, you will naturally push you. β
Tian Yuxiong frowned dissatisfiedly when he heard this, and instructed, "You are really ...... Be careful, don't be taken advantage of. β
Tianxinzhi hooked his lips and smiled, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, the imperial brother is at ease, I am not stupid." If you refuse to look at the woman today, then you will not look at her, and I will bring you to taste the wine. β
Tian Yuxiong gradually began to feel uneasy, if it weren't for the fact that his personal relationship with Kong Yiran was broken by Tian Xinzhi, he would not be satisfied with Tian Xinzhi at the moment, and let him threaten to come to these meaningless banquets at will.
Liu Yin pondered for a while, "Then let's take music as the theme, our son and your ladies will each have one person to compete in musical instruments, and the loser must accept the punishment of the winner, how about it?" β
Everyone applauded again and again, in the past, the flowing water song was not a poem or a strong food, it was rare to have a new way to play, and everyone was very happy.
Liu Yin clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Then how about the piano first?" β
The gentleman's favorite musical instrument is the yaoqin, and in addition to discussing political affairs, he plays the piano and drinks for fun, which is quite elegant.
Liu Jingzhi said: "Haha, brother, you are going to lose this time." It's better for you to compare the two, who in the capital doesn't know that Sister Yiran's piano skills are the first in the capital, you have to choose a good person, otherwise you will lose quite ugly. β
Liu Yin was not annoyed, "Yo, if you lose, you will lose, you should play with the girls, and it is enough to please the girls once." β
Kong Yiran blushed, and stepped forward with some pride, her piano skills were outstanding, even the queen mother was full of praise, this one must be won.
Tianxinzhi stepped forward and said: "Miss Kong is admirable with one enemy and two enemies, but it can't be felt that our masters bullied the girl's family, or Miss Liu will come with her?" β
Liu Jingzhi smiled and excused himself: "Me? I'll forget it, with Sister Yiran here, we can be described as fish eyes, and Sister Yiran is the real pearl. β
Kong Yiran learned that Tian Yuxiong was also opposite, and looked at him with a red face, but who knew that Tian Yuxiong glanced at her coldly and looked at Nan Shiyu, who was at the back of the crowd.
Kong Yiran also looked at Tian Yuxiong's eyes, Nan Shiyu stood behind him and was really inconspicuous, everyone was curious about what they were looking at, and they also turned their heads to look over.
Only then did I find out that there was a big problem, Nan Shiyu and Tian Yuxiong seemed to have a marriage contract!
There was an uneasy discussion in the crowd: "My God, won't you?" Shouldn't it be His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince on the other side? But his fiancΓ©e is still here......"
"Kong Yiran shouldn't be interested in His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, this is really evil!"
......
Shi Die's ears were calloused when she heard it, and she was impatient to speak for Nan Shiyu: "Wait! If His Royal Highness the Four Princes play in this game, then we must be matched by Sister Rain, if I remember correctly, His Royal Highness the Four Princes has a marriage contract with Sister Rain. β
Nan Shiyu held her forehead, Shi Die was really an unbearable character.
Nan Meng'er showed a somewhat contemptuous look and sneered: "So what? Sister Shi doesn't know anything, right? The second sister is a person who can't even recognize the five tones, how can she play the piano? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to have heard some amazing news, and they threw a "no" look at Nan Shiyu.
Tian Yuxiong glanced at Nan Meng'er with a calm face, and stood up to relieve Nan Shiyu: "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm." Since the old house parted, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and I miss you day and night. β
The crowd exploded, and Tian Xinzhi looked at Tian Yuxiong like a ghost, "Fourth Emperor Brother, do you know what you are talking about?" Father knows that he has to rectify you! How can you be so frivolous......"
Nan Shiyu on the opposite side couldn't help but get goosebumps, Tian Yuxiong really saw people talking about people, and it was a waste not to tell a book with a clever mouth.
