Chapter 7: The Feast of Flowers (3)

Wei Qingshuang looked at the two people in front of him who were singing and harmonizing, and sneered: "Yes, then thank you two for reminding me." After that, he didn't even leave a look at the two of them, and brushed his sleeves away.

The young ladies who followed Wei Qingshuang looked at each other and quickly chased after them.

Lin Xizhi glared at Wei Qingshuang who was far away, "cut", and said angrily: "What is there to be arrogant." "It looks like it's puffing up.

Luo Xinfang smiled at her, "I don't know her in general." ”

Luo Xinfang turned her gaze to the woman in pink beside her, and a touch of surprise appeared in her eyes.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this woman's appearance is a sinking fish and a goose. Although he had his hair scattered and had just cried, he didn't look embarrassed. At this time, there was a trace of mist in the woman's reddish apricot eyes, and a faint flush floated on the skin that could be blown away.

I really feel sorry for me.

At this moment, Luo Xinfang seemed to understand why Wei Qingshuang had to embarrass her.

The woman in pink wiped the corners of her eyes and bowed to Luo Xinfang and Lin Xizhi, "Thank you two for helping me out." My name is Wang Lingyi, and my father is ...... Secretary and young superintendent. Wang Lingyi's voice was glutinous, and his face still looked like he was about to cry, obviously listening to what Wei and Qing had just said.

Luo Xinfang replied: "It's nothing, it's time for the banquet to start." She glanced at the hosta that was broken into several pieces on the ground, thought about it, reached out and plucked the white hosta between her hair and handed it to her, "You use this, I have two hairpins." You don't have to give it back to me. ”

Lin Xizhi nodded at Wang Lingyi and walked away with Luo Xinfang.

Wang Lingyi looked at the distant backs of the two, quickly wiped the tears on his face, pulled up his long hair, put the hairpin given by Luo Xinfang in his hair, and walked quickly towards the peach blossom forest after tidying it up.

On the way to the Peach Blossom Forest, Lin Xizhi complained softly, "Sister Fang, you are really impulsive this time." Wei Qingshuang's human eye is smaller than the eye of a needle, and it will not be good to get on her, but it is better to stay away. ”

Luo Xinfang said with a faint expression: "I just really can't see her style." is also from a family of eunuchs, how can she trample on the dignity of others to this point? ”

Lin Xizhi nodded, "No wonder everyone says that the most upright person in the court is Luo Shangshu." It can be seen from Sister Fang's actions today that the rumors are true. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's just that my mother told me that when I saw that the young lady of the Wei family was far away from her, I was not afraid of her, but I didn't want to get into trouble." ”

Luo Xinfang teased her, "Who has to pull me to see the excitement?" ”

Lin Xizhi touched her nose and said weakly: "Aren't I curious......"

Luo Xinfang hid her face with a fan and laughed twice when she heard this, making Lin Xizhi blush.

Lin Xizhi pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Fang will laugh at me and ignore you." ”

Luo Xinfang begged for mercy, "Good sister, sister teases you." ”

While laughing, the two of them have arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest.

The peach blossom forest has been arranged. In addition to the seats prepared for the eldest princess of Chaoyang, there are twenty small seats in each of the left and right rows, and a few delicate snacks are placed on the table.

In this way, today's Hundred Flowers Banquet has invited twenty young ladies.

The ladies of the family who were hanging out had also returned, and some of them had already sat together in twos and threes.

Wei Qingshuang also arrived, and she unceremoniously took the position of the top left. Although there is no grade in the Hundred Flowers Banquet this time, she is the only person who takes it for granted like Wei Qingshuang.

Seeing that this person was so arrogant and arrogant, Lin Xizhi snorted lightly and ignored it, pulling Luo Xinfang to sit on the seat in the middle of the right side.

Wang Lingyi also packed up and rushed over, looking a little nervous.

Wei Qingshuang glanced at Wang Lingyi coldly, and saw that she was not as embarrassed as she imagined, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Her eyes fell on the white hosta in Wang Lingyi's hair.

How does it sound familiar?

Wei Qingshuang suddenly set his eyes on Luo Xinfang, who was whispering to Lin Xizhi.

Luo Xinfang also felt a trace of unkind gaze, raised her eyes to look for it, and collided with Wei Qingshuang's eyes.

Luo Xinfang returned her with a decent smile.

Wei Qingshuang was directly furious when he saw it.

No one has dared to go against her so blatantly!

Wei Qingshuang sneered, and was about to get up and teach Luo Xinfang a lesson, when someone not far away sang loudly: "The eldest princess of Chaoyang has arrived!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the young ladies of the family in the garden got up and saluted: "See the eldest princess, the eldest princess is blessed." ”

Wei Qingshuang could only salute, his eyes staring at Luo Xinfang tightly.

Luo Xinfang didn't take her to heart at all, she was secretly looking in the direction where the eldest princess came with the corner of her eye, only to see a noble man with good manners coming in the palace crowd, seeing that it was close, Luo Xinfang hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang saw that the warblers and warblers in the garden Yanyan maintained a saluting posture, and said with a smile: "Let's be free of courtesy, all the young ladies today are more casual and don't have to be formal." ”

The ladies of the Maison responded in unison, "Yes." "They sat down.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang sat on the chair of the princess at the top, and saw that the ladies of the family were all as beautiful as flowers, with good manners, and bowed slightly: "This palace can finally take advantage of the origin of the Hundred Flowers Banquet to come out and take a walk, you young ladies must behave well, don't let this palace down." ”

The ladies of the family are all eager to try when they hear this.

The eldest princess of Chaoyang said with satisfaction: "Today, the palace will select the four most outstanding young ladies, and these four young ladies will get the lottery prepared by the palace. With that, he raised his hand and gestured, "Without further ado, let's get started." ”

Hearing this, an older palace maid stepped forward and said without humility or arrogance: "The slave maid will tell you the rules of this Hundred Flowers Banquet for the young ladies. Please pick up the fan in your hand. ”

The ladies present looked at their respective fans when they heard this, but they didn't see anything special.

The elder palace maid said slowly: "The fans in the hands of the young ladies are embroidered samples of piano, chess, calligraphy, and paintings, and there are five fans for each embroidered sample. Please draw the "chess", "book" and "painting" of the ladies to follow the palace maid to the viewing pavilion in the peach forest, where the chess game and the book case have been arranged, and the viewing pavilion will have the palace maid to guide the ladies to draw lots. ”

"The ladies who drew the 'piano' stayed here and took turns to play, and each of them had a cup of tea. When the five ladies are finished, the ladies of the viewing pavilion will also come back here. Is there something you don't know about the ladies? ”

Luo Xinfang was secretly surprised when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, this Hundred Flowers Banquet was not performed by itself, but was selected through this random selection, which means that the ladies are required to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Luo Xinfang suddenly thought that when she first entered the Guanjin Garden, Lin Xizhi fell in love with her group fan, which happened to be embroidered with "Qin", and the eldest princess of Chaoyang was Lin Xizhi's cousin......

Luo Xinfang couldn't help but look up at Lin Xizhi.

Lin Xizhi received her gaze and winked at her, with a little cunning in her eyes.

Luo Xinfang was stunned, Lin Xizhi admitted that she had already known about it.

Although there is a kind of calculated little depression, it is beneficial and harmless to exchange fans with Lin Xizhi if you think about it.

After all, she just changed to the "painting" she is good at, and the rest of the ladies of the family who won the "piano" will become Lin Xizhi's foil.

Even if Lin Xizhi didn't ask her to change the fan, she would find another person.

What's more, Lin Xizhi also generously admitted that why did she have to be cheap and behaved.

Luo Xinfang whispered to Lin Xizhi: "It's a pity, I missed a good opportunity to listen to you play." ”

Lin Xizhi chuckled, "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

There will be opportunities in the future, which means that there will be more contacts after entering the palace?

This Lin Xizhi doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems.

Come to think of it, the daughter who grew up in a big family, where is there really a person with a pure mind like a blank sheet of paper.

Luo Xinfang stood up and went to the viewing pavilion with a group of young ladies.

When I arrived at the viewing pavilion, sure enough, the chess game and the bookcase had been arranged.

There was also a slightly older maid here, but she looked a little more stern than the one just now.

"The ladies who draw the 'chess' can go to solve the chess game, the five table chess games are the same, and the first lady to crack the chess game is the leader. The ladies who have drawn 'books' and 'paintings' are invited to draw lots each, and there will be corresponding topics in the lots. The older palace maid spoke a little coldly.

The ladies who drew the "chess" hurriedly walked to the chess game to observe when they heard the words, and the ladies who drew the "book" and "painting" also rushed to draw lots, for fear of delaying every minute and every second.

Luo Xinfang looked at the people in his group and was speechless for a while.

Wei Qingshuang's expression was a little arrogant, looking Luo Xinfang up and down, seeing that both of them had drawn the "painting", Wei Qingshuang glanced at Luo Xinfang with a bit of smugness on his face before taking the sign and walking towards the bookcase, as if he had already won the ticket.

Luo Xinfang didn't bother to bother with her, and after taking the signature, he walked to the farthest party from Wei Qingshuang.

The signature was signed, and there were only two small words on it: "Peony." ”

Luo Xinfang raised her eyebrows. This is really a coincidence, I was just pulled by Lin Xizhi to see the peony for most of the day.

Thinking of his father's words asking him to seek stability, Luo Xinfang closed his eyes and shook his head heavily, as if he wanted to throw the figure of Wei Qing's shuanghu out of his mind.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were clear.

She immediately put down her pen, constantly thinking about the pictures of flowers and birds that she had been practicing in recent days.

It's not eye-catching, it's good to be ordinary.

When the eldest princess of Chaoyang sent someone over, Luo Xinfang just put down her pen.

The palace ladies received the works of the ladies, and everyone returned the way they came. Back in her seat, Lin Xizhi was already sitting and waiting for her.

"Sister Zhi'er, is everything going well here?" Luo Xinfang asked.

Lin Xizhi smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem!" I drew "Mountains and Flowing Water", which was a piece of cake. How is Sister Fang's side? ”

Luo Xinfang said with a little helplessness on his face: "Wei Qingshuang and I were divided into a group. ”

A touch of sympathy suddenly appeared on Lin Xizhi's face.

When the two of them wanted to say anything more, the four leaders of "piano", "chess", "book" and "painting" had already been selected.
