Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dancing at the Birthday Banquet
In a word, the matter that Nian Fu wanted to trouble Luo Shuangyi was directly transferred to Luo Yingxue's marriage.
Luo Yingxue sat quietly on the side and did not speak.
The meal ended in a strange atmosphere.
"What's going on with Fu this year, when will it be his turn to discipline our daughter? Eating and drinking our all day long, and disciplining our daughter, I really treat myself as the God of Wealth! ”
Lord Luo was not very happy, and walked to the courtyard with the Liu family, and as he walked, he couldn't help but complain.
Liu Shi smiled, and there was a gentle charm between his eyebrows: "Okay, this person was left in the mansion by yourself, why did you make yourself angry in the end, if you are really so unhappy, you can send someone to send him away tomorrow." ”
Lord Luo knew that the Liu family was joking with himself, as the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, what kind of person is Fu this year, where is he who he said to send away?
Lord Luo took Liu's hand and walked in the corridor.
"Forget it, I don't want to miss him, I didn't eat hard at the table, go back to your yard and ask someone to bring me some more food."
The two talked and laughed all the way back to the courtyard.
Luo Shuangyi was also very busy during this time, although this thing was manufactured, but since this fragrance came out with some more ordinary fragrances, she couldn't find a suitable new product.
In the past few days, I was in the yard, and let Xiaoque bring back a lot of rouge gouache that he didn't use at all on weekdays, so that he could find inspiration.
Luo Shuangyi's words at the dinner table were deeply imprinted into Luo Yingxue's heart, and now the top priority is to complete her marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Prince as soon as possible, as long as the two get married, all the difficulties will be solved.
The Liu family and the old lady couldn't help much, Luo Yingxue thought about it, but she could only go to her uncle for this matter.
Last time, I asked Nian Fu to go to Fang Qi, but I had a closed door at Fang Qi's place, Luo Yingxue still remembered this matter in her heart, so she asked someone to make a snack and send it over to make amends.
When she arrived at Nian Fu's yard, Luo Yingxue first made amends and played a gentle and sensible image.
Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, Nian Fu originally had a little blame for her, so he disappeared.
Subsequently, Luo Yingxue said that she wanted to complete the marriage as soon as possible, which happened to be what Nian Fu wanted, so she agreed to go to Mingyang Wangfu with her.
Since the last time Luo Yingxue lived in the mansion and took care of Lu Huaiyu for a period of time, plus there was a marriage contract between the two, now the slaves and maids in the mansion have long regarded her as the future hostess.
After seeing Luo Yingxue and Nian Fu coming to the door, he politely invited people to the main hall.
It happened that at this time, the Mingyang Mansion went out, and there was only Lu Huaiyu in the house, so the subordinates invited Lu Huaiyu over, Lu Huaiyu didn't want to see the guests, but he heard that there was a young man, if he just sent people away like this, his face was not good-looking, so he went unwillingly.
The three of them met, and after a few polite words, Nian Fu directly stated the purpose of the future: "The marriage agreement between the two of you has been under for a long time, and you delayed the wedding date on the grounds of physical discomfort before, I can't blame it, but now your body has been better, today, you must set a wedding date for everything!" ”
Nian Fu's attitude is hard and cold, if Xue'er can marry into the Mingyang Palace, his business in the capital will be like a tiger in the future, and he can also gain a lot.
Who knew that after the words were spoken, Lu Huaiyu shirked for various reasons, Nian Fu has been in the mall for many years, and everyone is holding him high everywhere, when has he suffered this kind of repeated grievances, and he was about to get angry, but Lu Huaiyu hid back in his yard for a reason, and now, even if Nian Fu is angry, there is no place to vent.
The faces of the two of them were extremely ugly, Luo Yingxue sat on the side, her little face was also red with anger, she didn't understand what Lu Huaiyu was thinking in her heart.
In this marriage contract, since he is not persecuted by her, then she will find someone who can suppress him!
This marriage contract was given by the Queen Mother, Lu Huaiyu was unwilling, and in the end he didn't have to accept this holy decree?
As long as she asks the Queen Mother to set a wedding date for the two again, even if the prince wants to object, a crime of disobeying Yi's will knock down, I'm afraid he will succumb!
"Uncle, don't be angry, Xue'er has another plan."
After the words fell, he directly asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the palace.
"Miss, will the Queen Mother help us this time?"
Midsummer still has some apprehensions in her heart, the last time she urged the marriage period, the queen mother seemed to be very unhappy, this time the young lady went back, what if the queen mother made it difficult?
Luo Yingxue's eyes fell with a touch of firmness, since the Queen Mother is willing to give her a marriage to Lu Huaiyu, it means that she still has use value, and she and Lu Huaiyu get married as soon as possible, which is also the wish of the Queen Mother.
asked the people from the palace gate to go in to spread the word, and it didn't take long for Luo Yingxue to invite people in.
When she arrived at the Queen Mother, there was no need to cover it up, Luo Yingxue directly said her purpose: "The little girl begged the Queen Mother to set a marriage date for the little girl and the son. ”
The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, looking at Luo Yingxue who was respectful below, this girl looked more pleasing to the eye than her sister, but unfortunately, she didn't have too much thought.
"Get up!" She raised her hand and continued, "I couldn't urge the marriage last time, if I am urging it this time, it won't look good, it's better to let him take the initiative, this woman, if he keeps sticking up, he will only run away." ”
"I heard that he had some rumors with your sister before?"
The Queen Mother's careless first sentence exploded in Luo Yingxue's heart, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to dissolve her marriage contract?
"You don't have to worry, since he still thinks about others, you let him break this thought."
Luo Yingxue didn't understand the deep meaning of the Queen Mother's words, so the Queen Mother waved her hand and told her to step back.
"Miss, what do you mean by what the Queen Mother just said?" Midsummer is also confused.
Luo Yingxue gave herself a reassurance: "Don't talk nonsense, the Queen Mother has her own ideas in her heart." ”
On the second day, the Queen Mother invited all the ladies of the noble families in the capital to the palace.
Luo Shuangyi and Luo Yingxue were also among the invited teams.
After some talk and laughter, the Queen Mother finally got straight to the point: "Let you come over today, in fact, to prepare for the emperor's birthday banquet, you are all famous ladies in the capital, talented and virtuous women, on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, but you all showed your skills." ”
This sentence is also secretly hinting that everyone wants to bring out their best side, which maybe, they can fly on the branches and become a phoenix.
Subsequently, the Queen Mother asked everyone to write down the programs and types to be performed on the day of their birthday banquet.
Luo Shuangyi looked at the recorded eunuch and fell into deep thought, she didn't know anything about this ancient qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the Queen Mother named everyone to perform, if she refused, it was estimated that there would be big trouble.
The eunuch walked up to Luo Shuangyi, and seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, he asked out loud: "Miss Luo, have you thought about it, what do you want to perform at this birthday banquet?" ”
Luo Shuangyi was anxious, thinking about choosing a random one to fool around, and was about to speak, but Luo Yingxue interrupted her directly.
"Sister, aren't you dancing well? You can choose to dance! ”
"Then the slave will write a dance for Miss Luo."
After listening to Luo Yingxue's words, the slave immediately wrote the dance on Luo Shuangyi's name, and it was not easy to think about it for half a minute.
Luo Shuangyi looked at the little eunuch who had been set for herself in an instant, and then looked at Luo Yingxue, and immediately understood that this was a game specially arranged for her.
What is the original body like, no one knows better than Luo Yingxue, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it can be said that he doesn't know anything, especially dance, but he is also a person who doesn't know anything about dance, this Luo Yingxue just hit this point and deliberately said what Fang Cai said, I'm afraid I will wait for myself to make a fool of myself then.
Luo Yingxue slowly walked to Luo Shuangyi's side and said in a low voice: "Sister, that sister is going to look forward to my sister's dance at the emperor's birthday banquet!" ”
Luo Shuangyi didn't have a choice, after going back, she began to think about modern dance, and wanted to try the softness of her body, the first thing that came to mind was radio gymnastics, she had been a teacher for so many years, and watched the students bouncing around the square every day, but she basically didn't move much.
The only few radio gymnastics movements that I can think of are also very stiff, and I accidentally called Midsummer to see it, and she was almost scared that she thought she was sick.
On the same day, Liu sent someone to invite a few dance masters from outside to teach, but after learning kung fu for an afternoon, there was no progress at all, but the master was angry enough.
After watching Luo Shuangyi's performance outside Wushuang Courtyard in the middle of summer, he immediately gloated and returned to the Frost Courtyard and reported Luo Shuangyi's results to Luo Yingxue: "Miss, you didn't see it today, the eldest lady danced and twisted, like an earthworm, laughing at me." The master who taught dancing was so angry that his face turned green, I see, if it weren't for the sake of our Luo Wangfu, I'm afraid they would have left long ago. If you perform in front of the emperor like this, let alone be praised, the emperor will not blame it at that time, then thank God! ”
When Luo Yingxue heard this, she was also in a comfortable mood, she just wanted Luo Shuangyi to lose face in front of everyone at that time, and when the time came, it would be interesting to see if His Royal Highness would be tempted by such a good-for-nothing woman.
I have to say that the trick that the Queen Mother thought of was too strong!
Luo Shuangyi didn't make any progress in dancing in the yard, and his mood became more and more irritable, and the temper of the two masters who taught dancing was not very good, in the past two days, Luo Shuangyi felt like he was living in dire straits every day.
Until two letters were received.
