Chapter 61: The True King is Sweet and Sweet
Because of the New Year, the court officials are at home.
Like other mansions, since the second day of the first lunar month, the real king's mansion is also to welcome guests, and it is very lively.
On this day, Qingsong Academy sent someone to invite Zhu Xi, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door.
Song Yi was still guessing what kind of guest was coming, and the old lady sent someone to invite the prince.
But the prince didn't ask much, just changed into the clothes of the guests, and took Song Yi to Qingsong Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the Qingsong Courtyard, before he entered the main hall, Song Yi heard a very warm sound from the house, singing and laughing, very lively.
The subordinate at the door has already reported that it is Zilin who welcomes her in the house.
Zi Lin changed into a festive outfit today, with a carmine satin flat placket on the upper body, a cherry-colored satin pleated skirt on the lower body, and a triangular bun, the whole person is playful and cute.
When Zi Lin saw the true king, her face turned crimson, and she didn't dare to look up. But there is also admiration in his eyes, and Song Yi can't ignore it on the side.
But the party, the true king did not respond, did not squint, and flashed past Zilin.
Zilin was a little disappointed, Song Yi saw it in her eyes, she was really a little worthless for Zilin, there is a saying that "an amorous woman has a negative heart since ancient times".
Song Yi sighed for the prince's ignorance and Zilin's infatuation.
This spring girl is not lacking anywhere.
Zhu Xi entered the Qingsong Courtyard.
The interior of the temple has been renovated for the New Year.
There is a picture of longevity hanging on the front wall, and the left and right congratulatory couplets "blessing is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity is more than the old pine of Nanshan", and it is the case that is offered, and the objects such as incense candles, incense burners, fruit points and treasure bottles are offered to the gods on the case.
In front of the offering is a golden silk nanmu lingzhi offering table, and a pair of golden silk nanmu Taishi chairs are placed on both sides.
There are four Su's mahogany armchairs on each side of the lower hand, and a mahogany coffee table in the middle of every two chairs.
Because of the large number of people in the house, a few single chairs were added.
Zhu Xi entered the room, first bowed to the old lady, and then sat on another Taishi chair next to the offering table.
Then, everyone in the room saluted Zhu Xi, and then sat down one after another.
In addition to the old acquaintances in Fuchu, there are two strange guests in Qingshoin Temple today.
Sitting at the bottom of the Du family is a noble lady in a flying bun and wearing a red robe, in her thirties, with a plump body, clear eyes, and a bright spirit.
Next to your lady sat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old beauty, with willow leaf curved eyebrows, goose egg face, combed hair in a bun, face puffed with white powder, and mouth smeared with red fat, looking delicate and very gentle.
As soon as Zhu Xi and Song Yi entered the house, they saw two strangers at a glance.
Song Yi naturally looked at the beauties so blatantly.
And very unexpectedly, the real king Zhu Xi also looked at the beauty a few more times, and there seemed to be some shock in his eyes. It can be seen how beautiful a beauty is, and her temperament is outstanding!
Old Madam Du couldn't help but feel proud in her eyes when she saw Zhu Xi's amazing look.
It turned out that she deliberately wrote back some time ago, just to ask Du Fu to send someone to bring Du Shuyin to the palace.
She knew that although the Du Mansion was gradually declining, it had a profound heritage, and the daughters in the family were all very beautiful, and they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Among them, Du Shuyin, who rarely appears, is not only glamorous, but also very talented.
This time, the Du family was able to agree to let Du Shuyin come out to visit the True King's Mansion, which shows that the Du family and the Du family have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
After everyone sat down, Du Shi changed his normal state and introduced Zhu Xi very warmly.
"Lord Wang, this is Mrs. Du, Mrs. Du. Today, Mrs. Du came to visit her daughter Du Shuyin in the house."
Mrs. Du and Du Shuyin, who were introduced, bowed down to Zhu Xi.
The old lady continued: "The old man has been married into the palace for more than 40 years, and he has been moving around with his mother's family less and less. Thanks to the mother's family, they are worried about the old body, so Mrs. Du and Miss Du are sent to visit today. The old student thought that as the saying goes, 'no matter how close a relative is, he will be born if he doesn't move'. So, please come to the prince, and the family can meet and introduce."
Zhu Xi nodded at Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "What did the old lady say?" A relative is a relative. When I came from home, the elders of the family commanded me to confess to the old lady and the prince on their behalf. They are old, they have bad legs, and they can't go out, so they have to let me and Shuyin come to visit."
Mrs. Du spoke very crisply, and her attitude towards the old lady and the true king was neither humble nor arrogant. Obviously not a simple person!
Du Shi listened to Mrs. Du's words, nodded and laughed, "I believe what you say." We old people have old arms and legs, so let's move less if we can, and reduce the burden on your juniors. However, I am glad that you and Shuyin can come. Shuyin, this girl, is really the eighteen changes of the female university, and now she is becoming more and more standard. ”
Du Shi deliberately pointed out Du Shuyin.
With the consent of her mother, Du Shuyin walked out.
"The folk girl Du Shuyin has seen the old lady and the real prince"
The beauty Ying Ying knelt down, although she didn't say much, but it was also very pleasing to the eye.
Song Yi couldn't help but look at him twice, it turned out that there was really such a beautiful beauty.
Zhu Xi looked at Du Shuyin, didn't know what to think, stood up and gently supported Du Shuyin, and then said, "Miss Du, there is no need to be polite." This king has heard of it. Miss Du is a rare talented woman."
"The prince's false praise, it is everyone's love, and Shuyin can't afford such praise"
Du Shuyin said, as if he was very ashamed, his face was red, and he was even more romantic.
Zhu Xi and Du Shuyin stood together, talented and beautiful, and there seemed to be some undercurrents.
The rest of the room knew each other. If you want to go to relatives, how can you let a female relative come alone?
There seems to be speculation about the sudden appearance of Miss Du and the abnormal behavior of the old lady.
Song Yi looked at Du Shuyin, and he really felt an inferiority complex in his heart.
The same woman, why is there such a big gap? Look at others, they all seem to have the sound of pearls and jades when they speak, their posture is elegant, and their behavior is dignified. And he is very vulgar in comparison.
The strange thing is that Song Yi has a very good impression of Du Shuyin, and the other party seems to have a kind of magic that can attract people to get close.
When Du Shuyin and Zhu Xi were "flirting with their eyebrows", a discordant voice suddenly came out.
"Miss Du Jia, at first glance, there is no embryo. Mrs. Du. I take the liberty to ask, does the young lady have a good match? ”
It was Cao who spoke.
Cao Shi spoke, and the old lady and Mrs. Du both frowned secretly.
Du Shuyin also avoided suspicion and slowly retreated to his mother's side. bowed his head and was silent, and the scene was embarrassing.
Mrs. Du had naturally seen the big scene, and although she was unhappy, she still answered Cao's question.
"Second Mrs. Zhu loves her little girl. The little girl is still unmarried."
Saying that, Mrs. Du glanced at Zhu Xi intentionally or unintentionally. It seems to be conveying this message to Zhu Xi.
When Cao Shi heard this, he was very happy, and his eyes changed when he looked at Du Shuyin, "That feeling is good." My boy is eighteen years old and is still studying in the academy and preparing to take the imperial examination next year. Miss Jodu ......"
Before Cao could finish speaking, the old lady scolded.
"Cao, you don't have to say a word. Mrs. Du Fu and Shuyin are distinguished guests in the house, and you have to talk nonsense. ”
When the old lady spoke, the Cao family was unhappy, and she wanted to say more, but her husband Zhu Yuanchuan glared at her, so she had to shut up unwillingly.
The Wang family on the other side was not happy in his heart, and he was very anxious about Du Shuyin who suddenly appeared.
With the appearance of Du Shuyin, Wang also felt the crisis. But she didn't know how to observe words and emotions like Cao, but had other plans.
A "blind date", each with its own thoughts.
Song Yi looked at the expression of the prince on the side, and seemed not to reject this Du Shuyin.
I can't say what I feel in my heart, but she only boils down her feelings to "the real king is really fragrant".
There was Wang Shutong in the past, and Du Shuyin later, I just don't know who will hold the "beautiful man"?
