Chapter 2 Raise the high and step on the low
Although the Flower Dynasty Festival is a feast for appreciating flowers, it is held in the cold winter wax moon, there are no flowers to appreciate, this reward, in fact, is the fake flowers made of silk yarn and silk by the daughters, specifically than who has the most skillful hands, who makes the most lifelike flowers, the most vivid and dazzling.
In addition, there are also lottery lots, flower poems, several activities down, select a winner, the queen has her own rich rewards waiting, even if nothing is gained, but to be able to enter this deep palace courtyard, see a phoenix body dragon face, is also the dream of many girls.
Liao's mother and other maids were waiting outside the palace together, Qin Yunuan walked behind Qin Yun's makeup, with a crescent white flower bag hanging on her waist, and walked on the palace road paved with bluestone bricks with more than 20 female dependents, listening to the chirping of the beautiful girls beside her, many of them were entering the palace for the first time, and it was inevitable that they were a little excited.
"Eh, you say, what does the iron-masked general look like? Cheng wears a mask all day long, and he is not too bored to panic. β
"If you want me to say, no matter what he looks like, such a mighty and brave man, even if he grows into a pockmarked face, he is a hero. What's more, I heard that this iron-masked general covered his face with a mask because he was born too beautiful and was afraid of causing trouble. β
Qin Yunuan walked next to the two girls who were talking, and every word fell in his ears, the four words of the iron-faced general had greatly touched him, in his previous life, he was forced to marry this person, and in the end, he didn't even know whether the groom was tall or short, fat or thin, so he was burned to death in a sedan chair.
Although I have no relationship with this person, I will always feel a tremor in my heart when I hear others mention it, after all, I have just woken up from the nightmare of my previous life, and the fire, the scorching temperature in the fire, seems to be vividly remembered, and my memory is still fresh.
"Hmph," Shangguan Yi snorted coldly when he heard the conversation between the two people behind him, and replied disapprerovingly, "It's just an illegitimate son of Ning Wangfu, it's not as good as a concubine, this kind of low-born person, what is there to care about, if it is about appearance, it must not be much better." After that, he deliberately provoked Qin Yunuan, "Sister Qin, you said yes, right?" β
Shangguan Yi is like this, just trying to belittle himself.
"Phew," without waiting for Qin Yunuan to reply, the girl in the discussion just opened her mouth and said, "The third son of Leng Changxi and Leng is a first-class general, who once won the head of the enemy general in the million army, and rode back in the rolling yellow sand but was spotless, such a legendary figure, I am afraid that your Shangguanyi is jealous, just because your brother is a straw bag, it is said that he has not even been admitted to the Guozijian who has been taking the exam for five years, this Daqi, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a second person who is more muddy than your brother." β
Shangguan Yi's eyes turned red, "Hmph, my brother's name is wise and foolish, how can it be like your Fang family, he gave birth to five daughters in a row, but he didn't even have a son, I'm afraid that he will be the last one." β
Shangguan Yi's words were quite vicious, Qin Yunuan couldn't help frowning when she heard it, scolded people for not saying anything about not having a son, and cursed people for being the queen, this Shangguan Yi was really open-mouthed when he spoke.
After Shangguan Yi finished speaking, he was still angry, and then said to the Fang family girl who was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Besides, you admire General Leng, and you have the ability to tell the queen and let her give her a marriage, see if you marry such a violent and ruthless martial artist, will you say that he is powerful and brave." β
"Forget it, Sister Shangguan, don't say it again." Qin Yunxiang watched on the side for a long time before she came out to persuade Shangguan Yi, as far as she was concerned, she also looked down on Leng Changxi, who was born as an illegitimate child, what if she had military merits, what about the emperor's weapons, after all, she was not rightly named, and she couldn't enter the ancestral hall if she died.
"That's it, let's not talk about it, the concubine and the illegitimate child or something, and the concubine out of the main room itself is different." Shangguan Yi's apricot eyes were raised, and he deliberately glanced at Qin Yunuan, his eyes full of arrogance. "Sister Qin, are you right?"
"I think Miss Shangguan's words are wrong." A leisurely and tactful female voice sounded, like a babbling stream in the mountains, pouring a little coolness into people's hearts.
Shangguan Yi turned around and found that it was Qin Yunuan who spoke, and his eyes couldn't help but add a little disdain, and his eyelids were even more like they were about to reach the sky.
Qin Yunxiang was a little surprised at first, but soon, he concealed his emotions again, frowned and persuaded, "Yu Nuan, don't make trouble." β
"Sister, this is the Shangguan girl who asked me first, if I don't answer, I'm afraid it will be rude," Qin Yunuan replied with iron bones, everyone pointed to their noses and spoke, do you want to let yourself endure it again and again? Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled lightly and asked at Shangguan Yi, "I don't know, what is the background of the Shangguan family?" β
Shangguan Yi raised his head, "My father is a Jinshi and the first born, and he has been an official in the court for twenty-two years, and he has never made a mistake. β
"Oh, what is the origin of Ling Zun, who dares to ask Master Shangguan?"
Shangguan Yi was even more proud, "My grandfather Shangguan Yi is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the place. β
"Well, indeed," Qin Yunuan nodded and sighed, "Mr. Shangguan Yi is rich in learning and five cars, and he is very good at writing words, even the first emperor once sighed, Daqi has Yi Lao, as if there is a treasure." β
These words praised Shangguan Yi for being so comfortable, but Qin Yunxiang frowned, and even the Fang family girl who spoke just now was a little puzzled, whether this Qin San girl was here to refute Shangguan Yi or to pat Shangguan Yi on the back.
"Well, then dare to ask, where is Mr. Shangguan Yi's Lingzun from?" Qin Yunuan had a hint of sharpness in his eyes, like a cold knife in the hand of a top assassin, and smashed towards Shangguan Yi in unison.
Shangguan Yi's little face suddenly turned blue, gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and looked angry, annoyed and nowhere to go, and suddenly, the girl of the Fang family also understood something.
"Sister Shangguan can't remember, it's better for my sister to say it for you," Qin Yunuan said with a smile, "From Mr. Shangguan Yi to the top, it is Mr. Shangguan Cong, who was born in an ordinary township and was born as a private schoolman; further up, it is Shangguan Quan, who was born as an ordinary fisherman in Jiangnan; Further up, it is Mr. Shangguan You, who was born well, a descendant of the Shangguan family, one of the four major families in Jiangnan, but unfortunately, he was born in an outer room and never entered the family tree for life. β
Qin Yunuan emphasized the latter sentence, to be honest, if it weren't for his mother-in-law who was also very fond of Shangguanyi, and wanted to explore the Shangguan family after the New Year, and settled the relationship between the two as early as possible, so he also took the various situations of the Shangguan family to look at and study, he just accidentally glanced at it when he sent embroidery, and he remembered it all.
Qin Yunuan looked at Shangguan Yi's blue and dark face, and her tone became more gentle, "So, Shangguan girl, introspect yourself first if you hurt others, so as not to target others all at once, but instead go around yourself." Besides, what about the concubine, what about the bad background, the so-called heroes don't ask where they come from, Zhang Lian Daru of the previous dynasty, Marshal Meng Zhen who founded the country, and now the iron-masked generals, they are all loyal people who threw their heads for Daqi, if there was no blood and courage, there would be no Daqi today. Miss Shangguan blindly emphasizes her background, but she also knows that the peace we can have in the capital today is how many ordinary sergeants risked their lives on the front line in exchange. Shangguan girl, people, don't forget your roots. β
The last sentence is particularly important, not only reminding everyone that the peace at this time was not easy to come by, but also emphasizing the origin of Shangguan Yi's ancestors.
Shangguan Yi's heart was anxious and rising, her apricot eyes were red as if she was about to drip blood, she was just a little concubine, what qualifications did she have to teach herself, she couldn't be angry! I can't be angry!
Helplessly, Qin Yunxiang has been secretly pulling Shangguan Yi to prevent her from having another incident.
Qin Yunuan looked at Shangguan Yi's pig's liver-colored face, and saw the admiring and appreciative eyes of this talented Fang family girl, and in her heart, she actually had the pleasure of resisting for the first time, it turned out that the feeling of self-struggle was so good.
"What are you doing here? Still not leaving? The fat mama who led the way originally wanted to give a few words, but saw that it was Qin Yunuan who was surrounded in the middle.
Qin Yunuan just gestured to the fat mama, looking well-behaved and tranquil, the fat mama didn't say much, it was just a banquet of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and she didn't want to provoke these noble girls in Beijing, she just beckoned and beckoned everyone to go quickly.
When they went again towards the garden of the feast, no one in the crowd dared to speak loudly.
Listening to the whispers of others, Qin Yunuan knew that tonight's Flower Dynasty Festival banquet was not only an annual celebration, but also a dust wash for Leng Changxi, the great general who had just triumphed from Eastern Qin.
Dong Qin? Triumph? It's really strange, I remember that in the memory of my previous life, Leng Changxi had to postpone it for a year to make a great contribution to breaking the Eastern Qin, how could this life be advanced, but there is nothing to be annoyed about, even his own rebirth may happen, and it is nothing to postpone this event by a year earlier.
Just listening to the discussions of these girls, it seems that many people are still very optimistic about this Leng Changxi, after all, Leng Changxi was originally going to support as reinforcements this time, but as soon as he arrived with 100,000 troops, he not only turned the tide and reversed the entire battle situation, but also attacked all the way, and directly killed the capital of Eastern Qin, forcing the monarch of Eastern Qin to present the jade seal with both hands and be willing to be a vassal country.
The great trouble in Daqi's heart for 20 years was solved so easily by a nineteen-year-old man, which is really happy and the glory of the whole country.
Looking at the crimson and expectation on the faces of many noble girls when they talked about Leng Changxi, I am afraid that there are not a few women who regard Leng Changxi as a big hero and a good man.
Entering the garden, the first planted are rare and precious blood-colored red plums, all the way to the flower view, the fat mama who led the way said that the queen has not yet arrived, so that the girls can visit the garden first, a group of girls who have been bored for a long time are excited again, pointing to each other to see this and that.
Walking in front of a rugged and realistic rockery, I don't know who suddenly shouted, "Look over there, there's a Persian cat." β
