Chapter 90: Miss Qiao's Miaoqing
When the impatiens bloom in August, the weather starts to get cooler.
Miss Qiao's family entered Wang Yingning's courtyard with several other invited girls.
The swing is swaying, the red skirt, yellow shirt and green clothes, and the delicate embroidered shoes show a small sharp corner with the swing lightly.
Everyone is in one place, as if they are back to the scene of a year ago.
The woman's laughter was sweet and lively, and Xiao Hu, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, had a red face, lowered his head, and his eyes did not move at all, and he didn't dare to look inside.
Hongyao didn't think it was a little funny to see him like this. laughed for a while, and did not forget to carefully boil the tea in the clay stove.
Qingmei hurriedly brought one after another delicate and small petal-shaped snacks from the kitchen and sent them to the young ladies.
"Yingniang, you are very beautiful, and the snacks you make are also chic, you are really a lovely maid. Look at this stupid girl next to me, why don't I change it with you! A young lady in a yellow shirt grinned and quipped.
Qingmei hurriedly glanced at Wang Yingning, shook her head with a smile, and knew that this young lady was really funny, and then stood aside with a smile and didn't speak.
The maid next to her is a lively one, listening to her say this, suddenly her body is like twisting a twist, and the stomping lady is too bad, don't think that if you send the slave maid, no one will urge you to embroider to be a female red, if you want to be lazy, it can't be!
Wang Yingning was curious and said What kind of female red do you make, your embroidery girl is a well-known ingenuity in our county, how can you embroider it yourself......
"Yingniang, you can't hear it yet, this little maid is urging a happy event, and our sister Yun is naturally her own wedding dress." Qiao Miaoqing covered her mouth and smiled.
"Oh, you bad girl, chew the root of your tongue here, see if I don't tear your mouth." The woman in yellow jumped off the swing and made a gesture to hit Qiao Miaoqing.
Qiao Miaoqing played with her.
"Hurry up and stop, you still say that this is when you were a child, feel free to have fun." Wang Yingning hurriedly stopped, don't look at these people in front of people all behaved politely, and they made a lot of noise in private.
After listening to Wang Yingning's words, the two immediately stopped playing and looked over with a smile.
"Yun Niang, tell me quickly, what is decided, which one is decided?" Wang Yingning asked the woman in yellow clothes.
The woman in yellow was shy, coughed lightly, and whispered, since it was Yingniang who asked, what else could I not say, it was the Li family in the east of the city, and it was set on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and then I would invite Yingniang to eat a glass of happy wine......
"Well said, well said." Wang Yingning couldn't help but laugh and said.
Thinking in her heart, Yun Niang was born in the Shi family, and the Li family in the east of the city must be the Li family of the Shi family, and the family background is not bad.
It is indeed a good family business.
She was so obedient and discerning, and the others listened quietly, all smiling, but they didn't laugh at her anymore.
In front of Yingniang, everyone has a little sincere respect and obedience.
How so?
It has to start from when Wang Yingning first came here from Jiankang City when she was nine years old, and before that, she was a flamboyant figure who "beaten" her peers in the entire city in Jiankang City.
Not to mention those orthodox piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just talk about the daily play of half-grown children, spinning tops, paper kites, and even cockfighting, crickets, fighting, drinking, and fighting...... If she was short and long, she never lost.
At that time, she was a little girl who returned to her hometown from Jiankang City, and she was not valued by her father, so she often ran out of the house, broke through the county girls' school, and climbed over the courtyard wall of the girls and young ladies of large families......
Some of the arrogant ladies and girls in the county were not convinced by her, so they agreed to win or lose.
One and two backs, cold and summer, all of them were convinced, she was in the crowd of half-grown children at that time, not to say a hundred responses, but also to say one or two.
Of course, among the little sisters who are good friends with her, they are not all better than winning or losing, just like Qiao Miaoqing and her have another fate.
"Speaking of the day of Qixi Festival, it's not just me, Miss Qiao, you don't want to tell the story quickly, do you still want to hide it from Yingniang!"
Yun Niang, who was dressed in yellow, was obedient in front of Wang Yingning, which did not mean that she had completely forgotten Qiao Miaoqing, the "initiator", and immediately sold Guan Zi with a mysterious face.
Qiao Miaoqing's face immediately turned red, and she stopped talking.
The other ladies hurriedly urged Dao to recruit them quickly.
Qiao Miaoqing's face seemed to be red and about to drip blood.
"Okay, don't tease her, Qiao Niang can't help but tease her thin-skinned." Wang Yingning took a sip of tea, turned to Qiao Miaoqing and said:
"Tell me quickly, what happened on the day of Qixi Festival?"
"Yingniang!" Qiao Miaoqing stood up and stomped her feet, and slowly returned to the swing, and the maid next to her smiled and handed her a cup of tea.
Everyone didn't urge, this Qiao Niang was gentle and gentle, but she was also generous and unconventional, shy and shy, she cleared her throat and said:
"On that day, I traveled to Huaqiao with my eldest sister in the family, met Lu Gongzi, and said a few words because of a relationship......"
"What did you say?" The others asked in unison.
Qiao Miaoqing was no longer shy at this time, and said slowly: "What did you say......
After the words, she got up and came to Wang Yingning's ear and whispered a few words.
Wang Yingning pursed her lips and smiled softly to congratulate, Qiao Miaoqing finished her and looked at the others proudly.
She aroused everyone's curiosity, and she was only willing to tell Wang Yingning alone, which immediately caused everyone to attack her.
"Okay, okay, if you don't say it, we also know, but it was Lu Qiao who fell in love with you at first sight, and goodbye was providence, and he intended to marry ...... That's what it says in the book. The woman in the yellow shirt said quickly.
What she said was not bad, because of the flower tasting conference, Lu Qiao and her fell in love at first sight, and Mrs. Lu was even more thoughtful about her blue eyes.
The day of Qixi Festival is not an ordinary festival, and the two can meet again, isn't it fate.
So Qiao Miaoqing didn't refute it, it was a tacit acquiescence.
"Since Yingniang intends to fight with Aunt Yao in the matter of matchmaking, we should do our best to help you. This time, I will send a message to Lu Gongzi, if the Lu family is interested, I want you to be the matchmaker. ”
Ordinary women will naturally be a little embarrassed to talk about their relatives so blatantly, but Qiao Miaoqing is serious and sincere this time.
Everyone understands when they hear it, and if they have such an opportunity, they will naturally be obligated to help.
"Okay, then I'll try."
Wang Yingning did not pretend to refuse, and happily responded.
Lu Qiao is an official, and this marriage naturally requires the official media to come forward, and this matter is a great opportunity for her.
is different from the previous two family affairs between Man Mingzhen and Man Susu, she came to make the world laugh at the Manchu family and dig a pit for the full level, this time it is a real match made in heaven.
"I heard that Aunt Yao wrote a piece of Luan Feng for the second lady of the Manjia family before, and won the favor of the matchmaker. If you are compared to Yingniang, then what is Aunt Yao, is she going to pick up the pen again this time and fight her to the ground! ”
A relatively young lady in red clapped her hands, and her excited little face was full of red light.
"You girl, in the past, she waved her flag and shouted behind Yingniang, and every time she saw her win us, she screamed excitedly, but now it remains the same." Someone went over and pinched the young lady's nose.
"My grandfather said that there is nothing wrong with being competitive, and it is not only men who can be competitive, if our daughter's family does not compete for the first place in everything, then there is no point in living." The little girl in red said proudly.
Wang Yingning couldn't help but think of her grandfather.
She has a deeper relationship with the little girl in red than everyone here, and they have known each other since they were in Jiankang City together.
Her grandfather was a different kind of old gentleman, who was the most important Taoist Xuanmen doctrine at the moment, but her grandfather was a unique and active activist who believed in Legalism.
She was also raised under the knees of her grandparents, and she was a proud and straightforward person who was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Since Jiankang City changed five years ago, some famous families were persecuted, and her grandfather moved out of that place in a fit of anger.
Wang Yingning's grandfather couldn't move because of his reputation, so he only sent her back to her hometown to her parents.
Therefore, the girl in red has extraordinary feelings and dependence on Wang Yingning.
Until Wang Yingning was so dazzled by Man Zhangzhi's good face that she was determined to marry, she was a little proud and conceited in her temperament, and she was always the same, so she naturally ignored the persuasion of the sisters, and immediately broke off contact with everyone when she married into the Manchu family.
Originally, everyone was also cold, but since she played the last Lu family's flower tasting conference, she has met with everyone one after another.
She Wang Yingning followed her grandfather when she was a child, and she never lost in literary and military debates, so if she wanted to, she would be extremely able to win people's hearts, so everyone gradually gathered around her.
