Chapter 199: Tanabata (2)
The Qixi Festival, which is the most anticipated by the boudoir women in the world, is finally here. In addition to meeting three or five friends, you can also show your ingenious embroidery or eye-catching talent on various occasions.
More important things, it is best to be able to make a good relationship and set a lifelong event.
Su Xiangsi sat in front of the dressing mirror with rosin to pull her hair, and always felt that her complexion was more ruddy than before after being grounded for a few days, and her white was so red and tender that she was about to drip water.
In previous years, she spent a few days in the splendid nest to join in the fun, and she didn't have to see her needlework roughly, and she didn't have too many illusions about her children's affection.
This year is different, and the little feelings in my heart are more obvious.
The Qixi Festival in the capital will be lively for three to five days, in which merchants have a variety of novel ways to play in order to attract business. Even the queen in the palace has to give famous and well-known female dependents in the capital to gather in the capital.
Yesterday, the invitation was sent to the house, and the other one was sent to the Tingzhu Courtyard alone.
When Mrs. Su found out, her eyes were slightly silent, what could she say about the honor given by the queen's mother, and she didn't dare to say anything.
Su Xiangsi's decision to split up the family caused a lot of uproar in the capital, and it was impossible for the queen not to know. not only invited her to the palace to participate in the Qixi banquet, but also sent a separate invitation post.
This clearly showed that she was on Su Xiangsi's side, and Mrs. Su was very weak, but fortunately, her husband was mediating in the middle at that time. Otherwise, Su Xiangsi will be the only pet.
"Today, the big guys are trying their best to dress up, and the young lady is too plain. Even Miss Song is still dressed up pretty. Rosin helped her change her clothes, but she still felt that she couldn't show Su Xiangsi's quiet beauty.
Ning Tingting nodded in agreement, and held a shallow white sleeve embroidered with dark patterns in her hand: "Sister Rosin Xiang is right, I heard that a lot of people have been invited to the men's table, and Miss should wear it brightly." ”
"It's just going through the motions, and it's hard to move around if you're overdressed. Now there are few people in the courtyard, Tingting, you stay and guard. ”
Su Xiangsi cares about these scenes, if it weren't for the invitation sticker to be sent to support her alone, tonight's itinerary would have been well arranged.
On this kind of big occasion, Su Xiangsi will only bring rosin and catkins, and at first she had some thoughts in her heart, but she heard that Su Xiangsi asked her to stay in the yard. On the contrary, I think it's a good errand.
"Say hello to the young lady, the old lady and the other two young ladies have already gone to the palace in advance. said that the young lady has not rested well, so that the young lady does not have to worry. ”
The groom saw Su Xiangsi's curled posture, jumped out of the carriage, and set up a round stool beside the carriage with his waist down.
No wonder the door was deserted, and Mrs. Su couldn't do anything with her, so she could only do this kind of trivial thing to express her dissatisfaction.
Su Xiangsi smiled indifferently: "It's okay, you have the patience to wait for me." Then he got into the carriage.
I was finally able to take a carriage to the banquet by myself, and I always sat with my two sisters, and I could always smell their rouge gouache on the tip of my nose.
Liu Wu handed the broken silver to the coachman and got into the carriage with him, and the coachman was a simple man. Su Xiangsi went out of the house mostly because he drove the carriage, and he waited for two quarters of an hour more today without complaining, but he didn't expect to get a reward.
The banquet began at noon, knowing that there were many female dependents invited by the queen's mother, but I didn't expect that the imperial garden was full of young masters and young ladies. Mrs. Su came first with two young ladies, and also brought a young lady with a foreign surname. Miss Su San finally came by herself, and combined with the news she heard, everyone understood more or less in their hearts.
"Sister Acacia, you're here." Yang Yiwang saw that Su Xiangsi had greeted the official lady warmly, and he couldn't bear to trot through the crowd.
Su Xiangsi took her hand and walked towards a place with few people: "It's not good to run in such a hurry, it's not good to hit someone." ”
"I heard that my sister was grounded and was in a hurry, but I was worried." Yang Yi sat on the stone chair and beckoned the palace maid to bring hot tea and snacks.
Su Xiangsi looked around at the people around her, most of them had been seen by her. Most of the children of the high-ranking families in the capital know each other, and if they are interested in each other, the family affair has already become a long time ago.
The elders like to pick such a good festival to set big things, and the girls have also reached the time of starting a family. His face was red with shame.,Always inadvertently want to find your own eyes and minds in the total number of sons.。
The girl's feelings are people who look forward to being able to join hands with them for a lifetime, and they are men who truly love each other and support each other. Women should be reserved so that they are ashamed to express themselves, and they can only get to know each other more through such a feast, and then their parents will come forward to decide on family affairs.
Su Xiangsi followed the sight of the girls in the flowers and landed on the man, and her heart blossomed.
The elder brother fought on the battlefield, and his aura was very different from that of the son of the family in the capital. is unrestrained and informal, and that merry energy is not something that ordinary people can imitate.
Standing in the crowd, he is particularly conspicuous, his appearance is handsome and extraordinary, and his family background is not bad.
It's eye-catching.
My brother is indeed at the age of marriage. Since returning from the border a few years ago, a matchmaker has come to say goodbye, but my brother is not often in the house and has not been able to meet.
"Who is my sister looking at? I screamed a few times and didn't come back to my senses. Yang Yi stretched out his hand and shook it a few times in front of her eyes, and looked at her gaze, which was also a group of people.
"It can't be that my sister has a crush on which son, right? Let me see which son fell into my sister's eyes. ”
Su Xiangsi smiled skillfully, and the person in his heart was now surrounded and talking, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him: "Mother is not in a hurry for me to get married." But which one do you like? Tell me quietly. ”
Yang Yibian flattened his mouth: "Teasing me again, don't get married." I just want to stay with my mother for the rest of my life. ”
"Mrs. Yang heard that Miss Yang is a mother-daughter connection, and I heard Mrs. Yang talking just now."
A warm and calm voice suddenly sounded behind the two, Su Xiangsi's heart jumped violently, and when he turned around, he fell into Mu Jinchen's shallow smiling eyes.
"Mu Shizi quietly eavesdropped on me and my sister."
Yang Yi saw that it was Mu Jinchen, but he was even more curious, and said that Mu Shizi had a cold temperament and didn't like to be close to people. That seems like nonsense.
Mu Jinchen's eyes gently swept over Su Xiangsi's pretty face, and he calmly sat down and poured tea alone: "I'm tired of talking over there, I smell that you have good tea, don't you welcome this son?" ”
"Hey, hey, no, no, I can't ask for it. It's just that this kind of occasion is inappropriate. Don't look at their eyes......" Yang Yi said and gently bumped Su Xiangsi next to him with his elbow, hinting obviously.
The smile on the corner of Su Xiangsi's mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Why is it inappropriate?" You're almost staring his face out of the flowers. ”
Yang Yi smiled and retracted his gaze, and muttered, "It's good-looking." Mu Shizi is really worthy of the words "Fenghua", and the woman who is worthy of him is definitely not inferior. ”
"The preserved fruit can't stop your mouth. The more I talked, the more I didn't open the door. ”
Mu Jinchen's burning gaze is too obvious, and after getting along for a long time, she is still easily teased and blushing and heartbeating.
"Dust, it's so you're here, I've been looking for you for a long time."
With the crisp voice, Li Huaijing sat on the chair next to Mu Jinchen, and apologized slightly to Su Xiangsi, and her tone was just right, making people angry.
"Interrupt the small talk between the two of you, don't you mind adding me more?"
The smile on the corner of Su Xiangsi's mouth was even more: "How come." ”
Yang Yi trembled, and it was a little strange for Sister Acacia to laugh.
