Chapter 22: Go to the Shen Mansion
The other man in black took the order and flew away. Tranquility has returned to the courtyard.
On the second day, Yan Zen Yi was woken up by the sound of birds, and the chirping sparrows, some on the peach tree, some on the eaves, seemed to be discussing some gossip, and they kept calling.
Listening to this burst of bird calls, Yan Zenyi did not feel annoyed, but had a comfortable feeling. The hardest thing to hear in a city that once lived like a stone forest was the flocks of birds.
Yan Zenyi was only wearing underwear, so he walked under the big peach tree in the courtyard and stretched his waist. Breathing the scented air under the peach tree, Yan Zenyi only felt that life was extremely beautiful.
Fenghua saw that Miss was wearing a shirt and walked out of the wing, a little shocked, and hurriedly took the cloak and stepped forward and said, "Why does Miss come out without wearing a dress, the wind in this spring morning is the most frozen, so don't catch a cold carefully." ”
Yan Zenyi turned around and smiled lightly when she heard this, and didn't say anything, then turned around and went back to the side room, ready to wash and change.
Her steps were brisk, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood, so naturally she didn't notice that Fenghua glared fiercely at the jujube tree not far away.
Yan Zenyi watched Fenghua open the wardrobe and showed her all kinds of long skirts in the wardrobe, gilded, silver-red azure, dazzling.
Yan Zenyi listened to Fenghua talking about which ones were sewn by the princess herself, and which ones were made by Mama Ruan, and her heart was warm when she listened.
But in the end, she still put on yesterday's men's clothes, and she didn't dislike those clothes, on the contrary, she liked them all.
It's just that she thinks it's more convenient to go out in men's clothes, and she actually can't wait for people outside to forget that there is an eldest lady in the Yanwang Mansion who never goes out to meet people.
It's a pity that as soon as he put on men's clothes, Yan Youhong walked into the Fence Chrysanthemum Courtyard, looked at Yan Zen clothes and put on yesterday's men's clothes, and asked with some confusion, "Sister, what is this doing?" ”
Yan Zenyi remembered that her mother mentioned it several times yesterday, and handed over the greeting note to go to Shen Mansion today to finalize the date of her brother's marriage.
Looking at his brother's eager look, Yan Zenyi couldn't help but tease, "Why did my brother come so early?" Do you hate to get married? ”
Yan Youhong thought that his sister must have forgotten, and was about to open his mouth to remind, but when he heard his sister making fun of himself like this, his handsome face immediately turned red, leaving only one sentence, "I'll go to Shaohuayuan to wait for you first." Then he turned and fled.
Yan Chanyi looked at his brother's shy appearance, and almost laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.
After a while, I put away my smile and put on a silver and red butterfly daffodil skirt sewn by my mother, the skirt was so long that it mopped the floor, and I walked step by step, which was very good-looking.
Fortunately, there is Fenghua waiting by the side, otherwise this kind of skirt with ties here and there, Yan Zen clothes will definitely not be worn.
Fenghua's hands are very skillful, but he gave Yan Zen a beautiful bun with silk flowers of the same color as the skirt.
Yan Zenyi looked at himself in the mirror, and he was just as pretty and lovely without powder, which was really pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't help but say to Fenghua's satisfied chin, "Your craftsmanship is really extraordinary!" ”
On the carriage to Shen Mansion, Su Manshu looked at Yan Chanyi with obsessive eyes throughout the whole process, if it weren't for his own mother, Yan Zenyi would definitely be angry.
Whoever is treated as a delicacy will be upset all the time, right?
"Mother...... Can you please stop looking at me like that. Yan Zenyi finally couldn't bear to hope that his mother would put away the coveted eyes, and whispered to Su Manshu, "You look at me like this, I ...... I'm scared. ”
"Poof." Su Manshu couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter pitifully saying that she was scared, and then she feigned anger and said, "You are the meat that fell off your mother's body, and you can't take a few more glances for your mother?" ”
"Yes, yes, my mother is looking at me like she is looking in the mirror? As if seeing yourself? "Thousands of people don't wear sycophants, and Zen Yi still understands this truth.
So he hurriedly moved from the opposite side of Su Manshu to sit next to Su Manshu, and said flatteringly, "My mother can watch it for as long as I like, I'm just afraid that my mother will get tired of seeing me, and I won't like to watch it in the future." ”
"You, you won't get tired of watching it for your mother for the rest of your life." Su Manshu touched the little head leaning on her shoulder, her tone and eyes were full of doting, and she didn't forget to tease, "But compared to your mother's youth, you are still a big step behind." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard that in a person's temperament, there are books you have read, roads you have traveled and people you have loved, my mother is a well-known talented woman, and she must have read more books than me. And there is a lover like my father, who should be better looking than me! ”
Listening to his mother teasing herself, she returned it by her own mouth, and made her mother blush, which felt really good.
"You girl..."Su Manshu's face turned red instantly, and she raised the silk handkerchief in her hand and threw it lightly on Yan Zenyi's hand, but she felt that what she said was so reasonable that she couldn't refute it.
Seeing that she was about to arrive at the Shen Mansion, she could only ignore her eccentric little daughter and try to calm her emotions, so as not to be seen with her big red face as soon as she stepped out of the carriage.
Yan Zen clothes will be accepted when they see it, and they no longer ridicule their mothers, but only quietly snuggle on their mother's shoulders, experiencing this unprecedented sense of security.
I was finally able to relax and think about my own money-making plans.
The mother doesn't seem to know that the treasury of her palace is about to bottom out, in fact, Yan Zen clothes are not very clear, but the inconspicuous small patch on her father's foot coat still stimulates her.
She thinks a lot, according to modern experience, a woman's money is definitely the best to make, after all, there is no woman who doesn't like to buy, buy, buy. But what should be sold in order to make these ancient women eager for it?
Makeup and maintenance? She doesn't even use much, let alone make it. If she were a science student, she might be able to come up with some new recipes.
But she is a proper liberal arts student, she is good at literature, and if she is reasonable, the list of chemical elements she learned in high school has been fully returned to the teacher before she graduated from high school. So in this regard, it definitely doesn't work.
kept thinking about the carriage stopping, and Yan Zenyi only scratched her ears and cheeks, and she still didn't come up with any good plan to make money.
Suddenly, I felt a little frustrated that my highly educated head actually didn't have any special skills, and it wasn't necessarily much better than this ancient.
It wasn't until Yan Zenyi got off the carriage that he noticed that there were really a lot of carriages parked at the gate of the Shen Mansion.
Waiting for the porter to welcome them into the inner courtyard, Yan Zenyi knew that today it happened that the Shen Mansion was holding a peach blossom banquet, that is, the legendary blind date banquet for handsome men and beautiful women of the children of high-ranking cadres.
When he entered the living room of the Shen Mansion, he found that only Mrs. Shen was waiting. said that Shen Shanlai was holding a banquet in the courtyard, and he was too busy to leave, so he couldn't come to entertain.
Discussing the wedding date was originally a matter for the elders, so Su Manshu signaled with a look, and Yan Youhong took Yan Zenyi to the garden of the middle hall of the Shen Mansion, leaving only Mrs. Shen and Su Manshu to continue to discuss the wedding in the living room.
As soon as I entered the backyard, a small servant came forward with a pen and paper, saying that each guest left a calligraphy treasure before entering the garden, and wrote a poem with the peach blossom as the theme in the garden.
When the peach blossom banquet begins, everyone's poems will be evaluated, and if you come out on top, there will be a big surprise.
Yan Youhong's face changed, and he was worried that the two brothers and sisters would not be able to enter the back garden, so he saw that his sister had no fear to pick up the brush, and even began to write without thinking.
Yan Youhong's eyebrows were twisted, and when he saw that his sister was writing, he had to bow his head and think about it.
But after a while, my sister handed over a piece of rice paper and said, "Brother take it and copy it." ”
Yan Youhong glanced at the poems on the rice paper, although he didn't understand it, but he read it very smoothly, so he didn't suspect that he copied it. After handing over the poems of the two to the little guy guarding at the intersection of the garden, the two continued to walk in the direction of the garden.
"This sister-in-law is engaged, why do you want to hold a blind date in your own house... Hold a peach blossom feast? Yan Zenyi asked with some puzzlement.
Shouldn't this kind of banquet be led by the powerful ministers who are waiting for the daughters in the boudoir? This Shen Shanlai has already been ordered to his brother, why do he have to do such a thankless job?
"Your sister-in-law is ordered to me, but she still has a brother who can't make it." Yan Youhong said disapprovingly, but when Shen Shanlai's younger brother was mentioned, he frowned reflexively, and his disgust was overflowing.
In an instant, Yan Zenyi understood, and couldn't help but think of himself in the previous life, and she was also a thankless sister who was called the Brother Demon.
Involuntarily, she also showed a disgusted expression like Yan Youhong, although she continued to follow Yan Youhong quietly, but she was already secretly thinking in her heart, how to save another brother demon?
"Shanlai, your future husband is here." A deliberately shrill female voice, from the moment she saw Yan Youhong stepping into the garden, her eyes were glued to Yan Youhong's body and never moved away.
Catching a glimpse of the strange woman behind Yan Youhong, he shouted gloating at Shen Shanlai, "It's just that why did you come with a woman?" Isn't it the girl in the palace? ”
Yan Zenyi has been hidden in the courtyard, and people outside only hear his name but don't see him.
And even if she is famous, I have only heard that she is an ugly and stupid disabled person, and she has nothing to do with the delicate woman behind Yan Youhong.
Yan Zenyi looked over with the voice that gave her goosebumps, and saw a girl who was only twenty-eight years old, with beautiful makeup on her face, but her head was full of old faces that did not fit her age.
Although it is beautiful and gorgeous, it makes her look like a married woman.
Yan Zenyi secretly rolled her eyes, and caught a glimpse of her sister-in-law looking at her at a loss, so she stepped forward directly and took Shen Shanlai's hand, pretending to be playful and affectionate, and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother mentions you to me every day, but I begged for a long time today, and he finally took me to see my sister-in-law!" ”
