Chapter XXVII
With this kind of thought, Qi Xuan has always wanted to see Sheng Zi'an these days, but he has no chance at all.
Now that he finally has this opportunity, how can he let it go?
Thinking about Sheng Qing'an's equally beautiful face, if Sheng Zi'an was not given marriage by the emperor, he would have accepted the two of them at the same time, and it would not be a good thing!
Now I can only think about it ....
Qi Xuan thought to himself, and he was still persuading Qi Gao's in a good voice.
"Mother, where is your identity, you are the mother of the noble concubine, who dares not to take you in his eyes? Then Mrs. Sheng is a no-brainer at first glance, why are you so angry? ”
"It's better to go in the scenery, it seems that our family is a reasonable and generous family, and it also gives the concubine a good reputation, isn't it?"
Qi Gao thought about it, although he was unwilling, he could only do this.
After all, Shangshu Mansion is now on the Guogong Mansion and the Shizi Mansion, and it seems that it has made a fortune.
"Son, my mother is sorry for you, but my mother didn't pick a good marriage for you!" Qi Gao took his son's hand.
"It's good that my son is generous, otherwise my mother would have been worried about you to death!"
Qi Xuan's heart is no longer here with his mother.
All he thinks about now is the good taste of the Sheng family sisters, Sheng Qing'an will be his sooner or later, he can eat as much as he wants, Sheng Zi'an has to do it as soon as possible, and when she marries into the Shizi Mansion, he will have no chance.
At dinner, General Qi came back and sat in the hall, looking at his son's appearance, his thick black eyebrows furrowed.
"What's that thing you're wearing? How can I always learn from those sour Confucians, and dress up with a weak atmosphere! ”
General Qi was born in the army, and he looked down on those Wenchen who danced and wrote in the court, but now he looks at his son's appearance, and he is angry.
"Do you have to wear a short fight all day long like you?" Qi Gao protected his son and waited for General Qi to take a look.
The Qi family has only made a fortune in recent years, and the general of Qi was born in the army, but he was able to lead the troops to fight, and retreated from the Huns at the border pass, and was appreciated by the emperor, and directly gave the name of the general of the soldiers and horses, and gave the general's mansion.
Qi Gao's family married General Qi when he didn't make a fortune, and he was regarded as a bad wife.
Although the general likes beautiful concubines, he still respects his wife.
Qi Gao's family has been held by others in the past few years, and she has slowly hardened, and now she doesn't ask for anything else, only for her son to have a good future.
But Qi Xuan didn't like martial arts, let alone go to the battlefield with General Qi.
Scholarship is not good, and there is no hope for the imperial examination.
In the capital, it can be regarded as a gentleman, only Qi Gao's family is unaware of it, and feels that his son is unparalleled in the world.
"A few days later, the Sheng family will have a banquet, do you have a post for our family?" General Qi asked.
"Given, let's play Xuan'er like this, if you can go, you will give their family a big face! Isn't it just a little book? Qi Gao muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Nonsense! Ignorant woman! General Qi put the bowl on the table.
"Now even the emperor is promoting Shangshu Mansion, can you talk nonsense casually?" The general rebuked Qi Gao.
Seeing that his husband was angry, Qi Gao shrunk his neck, but still retorted in a low voice: "Our family is still the mother of the noble concubine!" What are you afraid of what they will do? Is it really easy for our family to bully? ”
She said in a small voice, and even had a bit of a country accent.
The general frowned: This kind of country woman just can't be on the stage!
He remembered going to his colleague's house, and the beautiful wife and concubine of the other family became more and more dissatisfied.
"No matter what you think in your heart, be polite to Lao Tzu when you go, you know?" General Qi turned his head and went to the concubine, and he didn't want to stay longer in the Qi Gao clan at all.
Qi Gao scolded a few times for having no conscience and slept alone.
The preparations of the Sheng Mansion are in full swing, but the Zizhu Courtyard of Sheng Zi'an is the most quiet.
Sheng Zi'an even wrote a note when he was idle and bored. Son, let Aoyagi go and send it to Sheng Qing'an.
said that he had a good use of the facial fat sent by his sister, and sure enough, this expensive facial fat was different, and his face looked a lot better after using it.
Sheng Qingan replied, as long as my sister likes it, next time my sister will give it to you, but I muttered in my heart, why is this medicine useless?
When you think about it, you may have to apply it for a while before you can see the effect.
I didn't pay much attention to it, and I prepared for myself.
Mrs. Sheng was relieved to see that her daughter was so attentive, and it seemed that her daughter understood her hard work.
On the day of the banquet, the streets were full of traffic, and the carriages of various families came one after another, each more luxurious than the other, and the surrounding people all looked straight at it.
Sheng Shangshu stood at the door, although his face was not obvious, but he sighed in his heart: God opens his eyes! Shangshu Mansion has finally been erected!
General Qi had an errand with him, and Qi Gao and Qi Xuan came over together.
Qi Gao's heart was angry, although he tried his best to hide it, but Mrs. Sheng and the other ladies around him could see it.
Mrs. Sheng just smiled softly, was considerate, and did not mention the previous marriage at all, so that Qi Gao's family had nowhere to speak.
In the courtyard, Sheng Qingan greeted the ladies of each family, and she was dressed very solemnly today.
Dressed in a carmine dress, embroidered with grape moire, the leader of the dress is made of cloud satin, the makeup is exquisite, and the eyebrows are made of flowers, which adds a bit of charm.
But these young ladies are not on Sheng Qing'an, they are all concerned about Sheng Zi'an.
This Miss Sheng family, who is silent on weekdays, actually asked His Royal Highness the Prince to ask the emperor for marriage, which is not a simple character.
Being able to be friends with Sheng Zi'an is much more useful than Sheng Qing'an.
Thinking like this, the young lady of the young Fu family was straightforward, and asked directly: "Sister Qing'an, why don't you see Sister Zi'an?" ”
"Sister Zi'an is just too quiet, she didn't want to play with us before, but not today, we have to pull Zi'an to play with us, after all, after getting married, there will be no such freedom!"
The ladies of the family talked and laughed, and they all wanted to see Sheng Zi'an.
Sheng Qingan bit her lip tightly, she hated it in her heart, and she had to be generous on her face.
"Sister Zi'an is usually such a lazy character, her mother asked her to help prepare the banquet, but she refused, what to say, where is the comfort of reading a book in the house?"
Sheng Qingan said jokingly, and after speaking, he smiled and bent over.
"My sister is such a pampered person, you will see you later, don't blame it!"
is clearly exonerating Sheng Zi'an, but in fact it is belittled.
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a girl's voice from the other side of the path, like a yellow warbler out of the valley.
"What is Sister Qing'an saying bad about me? My sister heard it! My sister is not right. ”
"It's obvious that my sister dislikes my sister for being clumsy, why did I end up and become lazy? Sister bullies! ”
The other people were a little strange on their faces, and everyone knew in their hearts that the two sisters were not close to each other at all.
Listening to the pistol with a stick like a joke, everyone was a little embarrassed.
"My sister laughed, it's my sister's fault, you hurry up and everyone is waiting for you!" Sheng Qingan looked at Sheng Zi'an's dress, and felt more comfortable in his heart.
Sheng Zi'an passed a crescent white dress embroidered with goose yellow patterns today, her body is slim, she looks a little weak willow to support the beauty of the wind, and has a rare sense of wind and bones that a woman has.
The only thing that made her face unpleasant was that she had a veil on her face and could only see her eyes.
"Sister, what's wrong? Why do you still wear a veil today? Sheng Qing'an said, stretching out his hand to pull Sheng Zi'an's veil.
The hand was halfway out. was stopped by Aoyagi.
With so many people, Sheng Qingan couldn't get angry, so he could only let go of his hand.
"I was affected by the wind a few days ago, and I had a little red rash on my face, my sisters and sisters forgive me." Sheng Zi'an blessed body.
No one dared to blame her, and everyone nodded and comforted her.
If you don't look at Sheng Qingan's restlessness, the banquet should be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
The people who came were willing to give face to Shangshufu, and when His Royal Highness the Prince stopped in front of the Sheng family, everyone's attitude towards the Sheng family became more respectful.
After the banquet began, Sheng Shangshu invited His Royal Highness the Prince to sit down, but His Royal Highness the Prince smiled and excused himself and held the junior ceremony. It made Sheng Shangshu full of red light.
I was even more satisfied with Sheng Zi'an's daughter.
The defense of men and women in this dynasty is not too strict, after the banquet, between the male and female guests, there is only a gauze curtain, and the voices on both sides can be heard, and the shadows can be seen.
Mrs. Sheng had in her heart the idea of finding a husband for her daughter, and the design was even more exquisite.
As soon as the wind blows, the bell on the curtain will ring softly, which is very elegant.
Halfway through the banquet, Sheng Zi'an supported his forehead, looked like he was overwhelmed, held Aoyagi's hand, and walked towards his yard.
Sheng Qingan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince on the other side of the curtain, and he couldn't hide it even more.
At the same time, she was very anxious, for fear that Sheng Zi'an would suddenly come back and spoil her good deeds. At this time, a little maid behind her leaned over and whispered in Sheng Qing'an's ear:
"Second Miss, just now His Royal Highness the Prince and the master talked about the piece in our house, the stone that the master moved back from Jiangnan."
"His Royal Highness the Prince seems to be very interested, saying that he doesn't need anyone to follow, he will go and see such elegant stones by himself!"
Sheng Qingan's eyes lit up, this was simply dozing off someone sent a pillow.
I heard the maid continue, "His Royal Highness the Prince seems to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and the slave and maid are all red when they look at His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Sheng Qingan's eyes darkened, signaling the maid to know herself.
Looking up over there, His Royal Highness the Prince had really gotten up and walked to the backyard, he had come to the Sheng family so many times, and Sheng Shangshu did not let anyone lead the way for His Royal Highness the Prince, for fear of sweeping His Royal Highness's interest.
"Mother, I'm a little drunk, go out to see the wind..."
Sheng Qingan hurriedly explained to Mrs. Sheng, and before she had time to see her mother's reaction, she lifted her skirt and walked to the back house.
When the fast stone stepped forward, he saw His Royal Highness the Prince standing there alone, his face stained with a hint of red, and he looked even more handsome and graceful than usual.
Sheng Qingan only felt that his heart was beating hard, such a character would be his own in the future!
