Volume 1: The Husband Chapter 88: The Stone of Other Mountains (I)
Aunt Wen was stunned when she heard this, her expression showed pride, she shook her fan and stood up, and gave a soft blessing salute, "Don't dare to be, I don't know which lady is coming......"
Seeing that she asked knowingly, Xie Shi didn't say anything, but said lightly: "Duchess Rongguo is my eldest sister, and I really shouldn't have come to visit her after she has been sick for a long time." I saw that she was quite sick, and it was not a way to hold her like this, so I thought about letting her go out of the house to recuperate in another village, but the eldest sister was worried that no one would worry about the big and small things in this house after she left. ”
Aunt Wen's eyes shone when she heard this: "Where does Madam need to worry about the house, now that the Rongguo Mansion has been divided, the Communist Party is just a little bit of a matter, isn't there still me!" Although Madame goes to recuperate, there is no need to worry about big or small affairs, I will take care of Mrs. properly. ”
Xie Shi hesitated a little: "That's right, but I don't know what my brother-in-law thinks." ”
"Grandpa Guo, then I will tell him clearly, Madame's body is important."
Seeing Aunt Wen's efforts to persuade her, Xie secretly scolded a fool in her heart, but only nodded slightly on her face, "That's the case, I will let someone pick up the eldest sister to go to Beizhuang early tomorrow morning." ”
Aunt Wen looked at Xie's eyes like a straw bale, she thought it was the savior who moved from the main courtyard, but it turned out to be just a bad idea, if the yellow-faced woman was out of the house, she didn't want to come back! She curtsied at Xie: "In that case, please worry more about Madame's illness." ”
As soon as Xie left, Aunt Wen shook her handkerchief vigorously and breathed a long sigh of relief, smiling without seeing her eyebrows, and her whole body was full of comfort, as if she had invisibly broken free from some shackles and could finally show her strength.
………………
With Leng Lingyu by her side and the best medicinal herbs available, Qing Ruxu's injuries healed quickly, although she couldn't move freely, but she couldn't see that she had injuries on her body.
At the flower meeting of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion on this day, Qingru Xu wanted to shirk it for an excuse, but Song Ying appealed in every way, and she had no choice but to respond.
After learning the previous lesson, Qingru Xu asked Lan Zhou to take charge of the affairs in the yard, and usually stayed in the house to watch the house, so as not to have a bad idea around her, so she asked Shizhou and Xiong Bao'er to accompany her out on weekdays.
Dajing scribes are romantic, and this kind of flower meeting is not only a good place for the children of the powerful to make friends with each other, but also a good opportunity to show their talents and reputation.
For example, Princess Eleven, she is a frequent visitor to various flower parties, no matter who is the east, as long as there is such an opportunity, she will appear and become famous for it.
Her one-handed painting skills are very good, and even the emperor is full of praise. For her, this is not only to fight for face for herself and her mother, but also to compete for favor with the fourteenth princess.
Bao'er had never participated in any flower party and was very excited, and Qingru sighed: "You will know if you go, it is not interesting." "It's just a group of noble girls with an average family background, who tout noblewomen with higher status in different ways.
Thinking about it this way, in the past, Qing Ruchu was still a very popular one among the noble girls, mentioning her, everyone will think of countless words of praise, and when it comes to Qing Ruxu, there is only one word "disease" that can describe her.
Qing Ruxu showed a complicated smile, in this life, you must live a different self, in order to be worthy of a life all over again!
Because Song Ying specially told Qingru to come earlier, she arrived a lot of time in advance, but she didn't expect that there were many people who came earlier than her. Before entering the water pavilion, the girls here occupy half of the garden, and they are all dressed up, refusing to lose to the flowers in the garden.
The intention of today's flower meeting is that the county lord of Yongping wants to show Xue Xiaohou the candidate for a daughter-in-law, which is tacitly understood by everyone. Of course, there are also many people who come to join in the fun and make a name for themselves. But Qing Ruxu, who has been sick and weak since he was a child, has not learned anything, and does not know anything in the eyes of everyone, is obviously not among the fun.
In addition, the county lord of Yongping came to the door repeatedly to ask for a very unpleasant thing to marry Qing Ruxu before, and everyone heard about it, so everyone was a little surprised to see her.
"Why is she here?"
"Yes, didn't she refuse the county lord, but also taught the little marquis, what kind of fun will she come to join in?"
"Did you change your mind?"
Xiong Bao'er's ears were bright, and she told Qing Ru Xu these words, Qing Ru Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, if it weren't for the courage of Song Ying, she wouldn't have come!
Walking through the garden, Qing Ruxu didn't see Song Ying's figure, so he called a maidservant girl and asked, "Have you seen the fifth girl of Song in the Anguo Mansion?" ”
The maidservant pointed to the three-story water pavilion specially prepared by the county lord of Yongping for the flower fair: "The slave seems to have seen the fifth girl of Song go there." ”
Qingru Xu went to the water pavilion when he heard the words, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw that the girls in three or two were gathered in one place, sitting or standing, talking and laughing.
However, there was no shadow of Song Ying, she went up to the second floor, listening to the sound of warblers and swallows, there seemed to be a lot of people. Just as the window on the side of the corridor was not completely closed, she leaned over to look inside, and saw that Princess Eleven was painting, surrounded by many people.
Qin Songyun opened his mouth and praised: "The princess's picture of distant mountains is light and light, and she has the spirit of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really a rare masterpiece. ”
When the others heard this, they chimed in.
Qing Ruxu looked around, but still didn't see Song Ying's figure, and was about to leave, when she heard Qin Songyun say again: "Why hasn't the county lord spoken?" Don't you agree with me? ”
Qingru Xu outside the window laughed in her heart when she heard this, it seems that Xue Yun is in trouble, usually she is looking for trouble with others, this time for the eleventh princess, I don't know if she will be so tough?
She turned around and made a silent gesture with Shizhou and Xiong Bao'er, and stood under the window to continue eavesdropping.
Xue Yun has never been very interested in their writing and painting things, and at this time she was sitting bored and distracted, and she didn't hear what Qin Songyun said, and when she saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
Princess Eleven's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Because Concubine Hui intended to let the eleventh princess marry Song Yu, the eleventh princess was very unhappy with this blue-eyed Xue Yun of Song Yu. Today, Xue Yun is the proprietor, she shouldn't have made trouble for Xue Yun here, but Xue Yun didn't take her seriously!
"There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, Miss Xue Si must have excellent painting skills, what is there to criticize in my "Distant Mountain Map", please give me advice."
The "teaching" in the princess's mouth, how can it really be that you can give advice, it is clearly to let the other party kneel and lick herself.
But Xue Yun didn't have this heart, and he wouldn't show Qin Songyun's flattery with his rival. So she naturally said, "The princess must have misunderstood, I don't know how to paint." ”
Qing Ruxu watched from the outside, and secretly sympathized with Xue Yun, judging from the methods used by the eleventh princess to calculate the fourteenth princess last time, she was not a good person, and Xue Yun could not be her opponent.
Qin Songyun said on the side: "The princess's painting skills are even praised by the emperor, and the county lord disdains to take a look, there must be more outstanding skills?" Why pretend to be modest at this time? Why don't you take this opportunity to make a picture and open our eyes? ”
The eleventh princess raised her lips slightly: "What I said is that Miss Xue Si doesn't want to hide it." As soon as he said this, Xue Yun's good painting was provocative, and if he didn't paint well, he was clumsy, and he was disrespectful to the princess.
Her tone was polite, but her expression was full of irresistible meaning, Xue Yun frowned, the eleventh princess was second only to the fourteenth princess in the emperor's favor, and she didn't dare to offend easily, but she didn't know how to draw.
Qin Songyun saw her look of embarrassment, and showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded. To please the eleventh princess, it will be easier for her to gain the trust of Concubine Hui when she enters the palace next year.
"Everyone is waiting, Miss Xue Si hurry up and start writing." The eleventh princess has a bright complexion, and she is seven or eight points similar to Concubine Hui, which is a typical appearance of the Qin family, standing with her cousin Qin Songyun, like a sister.
But as a princess, she unconsciously carried a bit of superiority between her gestures, and compared with Qin Songyun's slightly flattering look, the difference was very obvious.
This will make the eleventh princess dissatisfied, and her words will be more arrogant and a little provocative, Xue Yun will be a little unhappy, and she will speak a little more impatiently: "Your Royal Highness the princess forgive me, I really don't know how to paint." ”
Qing Ruxu looked at Xue Yun, and saw that her face was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, but it was not the indignant expression of the opponent's opponent, and she couldn't help but think of Xue Zhun when she was angry, and then she thought of Song Ying......
If Song Ying marries into the Xue family, how can this sister-in-law be good if she wears Song Ying's shoes because of herself, and what's more, what if it is because Xue Yun hates herself, so she hates the house and opposes Song Ying marrying in......
She didn't want to help Song Ying in this matter.
Qing Ruxu suddenly had a headache, otherwise, save her and ease the relationship?
At this time, the eleventh princess spoke again: "Miss Xue doesn't have to be so modest, is it possible that you are sure that your painting is better than that of this princess, and it will embarrass this princess?" ”
Qin Songyun said: "The princess is angry, the county lord must not be such an arrogant person." ”
As soon as he heard this, no matter how arrogant Xue Yun was, he finally understood his situation.
It's a dilemma.
With a calm face, she stepped forward to pick up the pen.
The nobles of the family have more or less learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if they are not proficient, they will not be able to ...... at all Isn't it just a shame! This time she confessed!
Xue Yun gritted her teeth and was about to put down her pen, when she squeaked, the door was suddenly pushed open, Qing Ruxu walked in, and seeing everyone's surprised eyes, she stepped forward and saluted the eleventh princess: "Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"Is that you?" As soon as she saw that it was Qing Ruxu, the eleventh princess's attention suddenly shifted from Xue Yun to her. The festival between the two of them is not so simple.
Xue Yun was also stunned for a moment: Why did she come?
"I'm looking for my cousin Song Ying, it seems that she is not here." Qing Ruxu asked casually.
Qin Songyun, who was standing next to the eleventh princess, also raised her eyebrows, but she knew the cause of Qin Wanyan's death, it was because this eldest girl helped the fourteenth princess. "Isn't this the eldest girl who was terminally ill some time ago? It's really strange that you're sick, sometimes better and sometimes bad. ”
