Chapter 40: The Daughters
After chatting a few more words, she realized that the two young ladies of the Chen family turned out to be twin daughters, no wonder they looked so similar.
Miss Jiang San interjected with a smile: "I often envy the three county lords, who can have a companion to play with among the sisters in the family, and I am even more envious when I see the two young ladies of the Chen family. Unlike me, my two older sisters are married, and it's boring to stay at home on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, Tonghui, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly said with a smile: "If Miss Jiang has no playmates on weekdays, she can also invite a few more young ladies of the same age to go out. ”
"What the county lord of Qingping said makes sense." The two young ladies of the Chen family were very interested, "You can put paper kites, bring some cooking utensils, and have a picnic!" ”
Jiang Yao smiled and nodded, and just as she wanted to speak, the little maid just now led the three young ladies over, all of whom Tong Yan didn't know.
Miss Liang greeted her first, greeted each other with the three young ladies, and said with a smile: "You came together?" ”
The girl standing in the middle was the most eye-catching, and she said with a smile: "I just met at the door." ”
Tongyue, who had been muffled and didn't speak, suddenly became lively, and she happily went over and pulled the hand of the girl on the left, "Sister Yang, Sister Hu, why did you come." ”
Tonghui and Miss Jiang both smiled and greeted the three of them.
Tong Yan was a little embarrassed for a while.
Miss Liang glanced at Tonghui and Tongyue, then walked over with a smile, pulled Tongyan, and introduced the three young ladies to them: "This is the county lord of Zhaoyang." ”
The three young ladies all saluted her, and the girl in the middle looked at Tong Yan's eyes lit up.
"This is the young lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, one word." Miss Liang pointed to the good-looking girl in the middle.
Pingyang Houfu, Zhao Yu, this is her cousin or cousin.
Tong Yan looked at her and suddenly became kind, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao." ”
"And these two." Miss Liang pointed to the girls on the left and right, "Miss Yang and Miss Hu, if I remember correctly, Princess Yong is Miss Yang's aunt, right?" ”
She glanced at Lord Wen'an with a smile.
Wen An's face suddenly turned red, and he said, "Yes." ”
Miss Yang's phoenix eyes are very bright, and she looks very shrewd and capable, which is a little similar to Princess Yong, she smiled and relieved Wen'an: "I have long heard the county lord of Wen'an say that her sister Zhaoyang county lord has the appearance of a closed moon and a shy flower, and today I am fortunate to see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation, which is really the envy of women of my generation." ”
After speaking, she looked at Tong Yan with a smile, and her eyes showed sincere envy.
Teenage girls are just growing up at the age when they care about their appearance, and when Miss Yang said this, the other girls also cast their eyes on Tong Yan.
Tong Yan was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Miss Yang's words are a bit exaggerated, I am still young and not yet an adult, where can I afford to be ashamed of the four words of the closed moon." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that although Miss Hu was smiling, her eyes flashed with a hint of unkindness.
Miss Hu looks about the same age as Tonghui, and her appearance is outstanding, but her lips are a little thin and she doesn't look very gentle.
"It's Miss Jiang." Tong Yan looked at Jiang Yao and said with a smile: "Born beautiful, when I first arrived in the palace, I heard that Miss Jiang was the first beauty in Beijing." ”
Jiang Yao's face was slightly red, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a modest smile: Don't mention this name, it's not a joke between sisters, somehow it was passed out, but shame on me. That being said, there was a bit of pride in her eyes.
Tong Yan looked at Miss Hu quietly, and sure enough, Miss Hu pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Yao, and there was something unkind in her eyes.
It seems that this Miss Hu is very jealous.
Soon Miss Zhou, Miss Xu, Miss Wang, Miss Liu and others came one after another, and finally, Princess Shuning and Princess Anle arrived at the hour.
Everyone saluted the two princesses.
After a polite pass, Miss Liang led everyone along the promenade by the lake to the south.
Xu Mingyi happily pulled Tong Yan and asked positively, "How?" Isn't your dad happy to teach you archery? ”
Tong Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "Then you guessed wrong, although my father is happy, he doesn't seem to want to teach me archery?" ”
"What?" Xu Mingyi's eyes widened in shock, "Such a good seedling is still not allowed to learn archery?" Is your father a military general? ”
"Did your father let you learn?" Tong Yan tilted her head and asked.
Xu Mingyi sneered: "Yes, but I don't have a talent like you, if I do, maybe my father will let me learn." The more she spoke, the more unconfident she became.
Tong Yan covered her mouth and smiled.
"By the way, what happened to the sword you sold your brother? Are you exposed? Tong Yan stopped smiling and asked curiously.
Mingyi winked playfully and laughed, "Can that be exposed?" Don't look at who I am, I'm Xu Yanzhi's own sister, and I know his brain best. ”
Zhou Yujin looked at her with suspicion in her eyes, "Sister Mingyi, you forgot that you said the same thing last time, didn't you also capsize." ”
"Why do you keep demolishing me? It was an accident, an accident, you know? Mingyi glared at her.
Zhou Yujin was not annoyed, stuck out his tongue, and whispered: "You don't have a time when there are no accidents." ”
In the middle of the gag, the group came to the garden of the Liang Mansion, under a vine shelf full of small purple flowers, and the maidservants had already set up their seats for a week's feast.
This shelf is very spacious, and it doesn't need to be exposed to the sun, but it also has some fun.
All the nobles praised Miss Liang for her ingenuity and ingenuity.
Miss Liang smiled faintly and said, "I just saw what was written in the book of my ancestors, so I moved it like this." ”
A young lady who couldn't be named by Tong Yan smiled and said, "That's also Miss Liang's extensive reading, unlike us, where do you know these things." ”
As if she hadn't heard, Miss Liang smiled and arranged for the ladies to sit down, not only did Miss Liang ignore her, but even the other nobles were silent, and some even gave her a blank look.
"What is Miss Ma talking about, the word is not added randomly, Miss Liang is recognized by everyone as a talented woman, but we are also famous girls, we have been reading and polite since childhood, Miss Ma don't have no cover in her mouth, say it to make people laugh." Miss Hu glanced at her and shook the fan in her hand with disdain.
These words were so sharp and mean, Miss Ma was so embarrassed in public, she couldn't help but have a layer of mist in her eyes, and she was about to cry when she pouted.
