Chapter 13: The Banquet (4)

Mrs. Gu instructed the housekeeper: "I'm so old, I'm tired of listening to birthday songs, you go tell her and let her sing some new songs." ”

The lady in charge responded, and then ordered Zhao Xiang'e, Zhao Xiang'e nodded, Ying Ying smiled, opened her voice, and sang Gu Zijing's "Girlfriend Love".

The sound of the flowers sold through the curtain was aroused, and the good dream was shocked. The sound of the arbor warbler is broken, and the shadow of the upper screen window is re-shifted. Dark groaning and losing his soul, sullen and drunk. Close the heavy door tightly and deeply, afraid that the warbler will laugh and be haggard. When will the sorrow be full, who knows this hatred? ”

The warbler's voice is tactful, light and transparent, and most of the people present are addicted to Zhao Xiang'e's natural sound, only a few people who understand the meaning of this song have slightly different reactions.

Mrs. Gu tasted the rhyme in this song, and couldn't help but think of the distant time in the boudoir, and felt some emotion in her heart. Sitting next to Mrs. Gu were the second grandmother of the Gu Mansion and the fourth girl of the Gu family, both of whom had a slightly unnatural face. Mrs. Shen didn't understand the meaning of this song, but when she saw that the second grandmother's face was wrong, she was a little suspicious, but she didn't understand the rhyme, she was anxious, but she didn't understand what was going on.

"It is for the matchless match, which causes lovesickness and incomprehensible disease. Seeing me thrown away, Po Qiao was even more ruthless than Wang Kui. I scolded here but regretted it, and I didn't support it in any way. The long sigh of the fall, the pillow is carried to the bed, and the sleep is forgotten. ”

Old Lady Gu was even more moved, with a gentle sigh in her eyes. And Gu Si Girl's face was already extremely ugly. The tune is sung here, although Mrs. Shen doesn't understand the tune, she can hear the words "no media matching" clearly, and her face sank instantly.

"Ambergris these times...... The more sad it is. …… Well-dressed, handsome and beautiful, singing and rhyme between the banquets. A little kind. Who is smart and handsome? Stirring is also like a soft bowel. Climbing and pushing is also like tears, like drunk and idiotic, the pen and inkstone are neglected, the tea and rice are reduced, and the needle is scheming, how to say this to people! ”

Old Lady Gu and everyone were already fascinated by it. The second grandmother's face had turned pale, and the fourth girl Gu lowered her head even more, refusing to let others see her appearance. Since Mrs. Shen understood the meaning of the song, she has been sitting like a needle felt, anxious, her lips trembling in the direction of Zhao Xiang'e, as if she wanted to open her mouth to stop, but she couldn't speak because of the presence of everyone, in short, she was very anxious.

Thinking that he often loves red cui, his heart is partial to Xiangyu. The face is better than He Lang powder, and the hand can draw Jing Zhaomei. Laughing and smiling in the leisure season, it is just like a bird with wings. The emerald skirt covered the waist more than half a foot, and the chest strap was around it. Bone slashed Yuji. Thin and widened the embroidered clothes......"

Everyone looked fascinated. The second grandmother was already as pale as paper, and the fourth girl Gu was sweating profusely and her face was pale. Mrs. Shen's expression was stiff and extremely displeased.

This song is simply a straightforward statement of the thoughts of the fourth girl, although Shen Zhiyuan is not a Dengke and the first, but he was just admitted to Xiucai half a year ago, which can be regarded as echoing the meaning of the song......

"My life hung in the balance for a few days, and I was cowardly and had no strength. I am very charming, not like the old days, and I can't help but cry in my eyes. If you can't have a party, you will have different things. I think the most bitter thing in life is parting. I often remember the words spoken on the pillow and the oath set at the end of the starry month. Who would have thought that this Gu Enbo was fortunate to be a thief, and there was no information for several years. Compared with your Dengke and the first, I will ask for the green mountain to turn into a wangfu stone. ”

The tail note fell, the aftermath lingered, and everyone gradually came back to their senses. Old Lady Gu smiled and nodded, obviously happy, and praised: "It's rare!" It's rare! This sister looks good, has a good voice, and sings good tunes, so she should be rewarded! As Ningxia Qing knows, Mrs. Gu has always liked to reward others in person.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu praised it so much, the surrounding guests naturally nodded in agreement.

In fact, this "Boudoir Love" is about a woman in a boudoir and a man falling in love, but unfortunately there is no matchmaker, the two met in private and made a lifelong vow, and then the man was in the first place, but he never came to look for her, she stayed alone for many years, and was always waiting for a lover who had changed his heart.

Such a Fengyue affair, placed in the Fengyue field, is sung by a woman tactfully, which is always particularly provocative.

However, if it really happened, this woman's life would be ruined, and she would have to bear endless infamy.

Zhao Xiang'e got up with the qin, blessed with a blessing, and walked to Mrs. Gu to receive the reward. Mrs. Shen always stared at Zhao Xiang'e closely, although she didn't know Zhao Xiang'e, she could feel that this Zhao Xiang'e was definitely not a good person. Second Grandma Gu also kept staring at Zhao Xiang'e, her face was extremely ugly.

Mrs. Gu took out a first-class red envelope and put it on a small red lacquer plate carved with begonia flowers, and the housekeeper handed the plate to Zhao Xiang'e, Zhao Xiang'e saluted again, and then raised her hand to the red lacquer small plate, and at this moment, a jade pendant suddenly fell out of her sleeve.

"Ugh!" Zhao Xiang'e shouted, then smiled shamefully, and said softly, "It's rude", and then squatted down to pick it up, and the old lady Gu suddenly said, "It's a good jade." ”

Zhao Xiang'e replied: "This is not my thing, it was a benefactor who fell on me yesterday." After saying that, she picked up the jade pendant and wiped the dust on it. Old Lady Gu saw it more realistically now, and said with a smile: "Not only is it a good jade, but the carving is also of the highest quality, show it to me." ”

Zhao Xiang'e put the jade pendant back on the plate, and the housekeeper held the lacquer plate in front of Mrs. Gu, who picked up the jade pendant from the plate, looked at it carefully, smiled even more, and couldn't help but praise: "Only after a closer look can I know that this is a high-grade hibiscus species, and it is completely flawless, and the Luan Feng carving on it is also a rare delicate and expressive." ”

Zhao Xiang'e lowered her head and said: "This jade is indeed excellent, I only hope to return it to that guest as soon as possible, but I look at this pattern, this jade should be a pair." ”

Old Madam Gu nodded, put the jade pendant back on the lacquer plate, and returned it to Zhao Xiang'e, who immediately retreated.

Ning Xia Qing, who had always stayed out of the matter, stretched out her hand at this time, took a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate and handed it to Zi'er, and then looked at the opposite side casually, only to see that Mrs. Shen was stiff, her face was unbelievable and angry, and the second grandmother was hideous, just forced to pretend to be decent, and Gu Si buried her head deeply, and she couldn't see her expression at all.

Zi'er tilted her head, she didn't want to eat the osmanthus cake, and seeing that her sister wasn't paying attention to her, she secretly put the osmanthus cake back on the plate, picked up the uneaten orange petal with her little hand and put it in her mouth, and bit it, but accidentally let the orange juice splash on the face of her sister next to her.

Ning Xia Qing glanced at Zi'er and saw that Zi'er was also staring at her with a thief's face. She laughed, whispered Zi'er to pay attention to her demeanor, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped the orange juice off her face.

The hand holding the handkerchief suddenly paused when it touched her cheek, and her eyes darkened.

She remembered that back then, Mrs. Shen had slapped her in public, scolding her for not abiding by women's morals and giving private advice to men, and what was even more ridiculous was that it was the fourth girl Gu who came out to testify. After this incident, she was almost ruined, the Ning family was humiliated, the Cao family was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick, and the Ning family humiliated her family......

Her eyes glanced at the people on the other side again, and she felt nothing but pleasure.
