Chapter 27: Spring Festival Party (3)

The Spring Festival will be held on the second day, and several generations of emperors will choose concubines to enter the palace after the sacrifice ceremony on the second day of the second month of February. The conditions for choosing a concubine are also extremely harsh, and after layers of screening and competition, you can only enter the palace if your talent is extremely prominent. In the end, it evolved into a talent show between women, setting up a fun game, and the sons would pay attention to their favorite women in the process, and if they had the opportunity, they would talk and understand, and then ask the matchmaker to go to the house to propose.

People will compare with each other for a long time, and the girls in the boudoir will also rivet their talents to study their talents. But in previous years, the most popular ones were Su Qing, the eldest lady of General Su's Mansion, and Li Huaijing, the eldest lady of Dingguo Mansion.

The most interesting thing is also the talent of these two beauties, Su Qing is good at poetry and piano, and Li Huaijing is good at pipa and dance. The two are comparable, but Li Huaijing is more eye-catching than Su Qing to participate in the Spring Festival for three years.

Li Qinse felt that her daughter was a little different today, and it was definitely not normal. Wake up early in the morning and pick out jewelry? When does my daughter care about these things? On weekdays, it is a simple tune that is never eye-catching.

Su Xiangsi changed into a light purple white gold thread fairy cloud cross-collared wide-sleeved long skirt, and put on the moon white soft gauze sleeves, and the back spread from the bottom to at least the top of the light purple small roses, and the flower branches on the wide sleeves were also decorated with half-flowering bones with different postures. The same series of silk flowers with roses inlaid with fine beads are pinned. Walking and swaying, the small jasper gently comes out of the water.

Rosin Xiang wondered if Miss was stimulated to go crazy yesterday, and look, she regretted not doing it to Mu Shizi earlier.

There are not so many rules for the Spring Festival, and the men's and women's seats are only separated by a five-foot-wide river, so you can see clearly when you show each other's talents. The pavilions on both sides can accommodate more than ten people, and a large cloth shed will be set up to put snacks and tea for everyone to rest. Five large tables and chairs were placed in the open space, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were placed for the people present to play.

In order to make the scene not monotonous and boring. The Four Seasons Garden provides scarce potted flowers for free.

Before noon, the young lady of the family and the son arrived at the venue, and they unintentionally looked at each other across the river and touched each other's eyes, and looked away with shame in their eyes.

Su Qing and Su Xiangsi re-ordered new dress jewelry half a month in advance. Su Qing has a fairy character from head to toe, and Su Yiling is pure and good. Su Yiling is smart and will not deliberately emulate Su Qing's temperament to attract attention, but take another path that few people choose.

When Mrs. Su led her ladies to the banquet, there were many people, all of whom were carefully dressed up and were about to compare the scenery in the garden. On such a table, each piece of jewelry and dress is carefully selected, which should be chic and elegant but not vulgar and cumbersome.

"Don't hold it down, let's go our own way." Mrs. Su also knew that the little Jiujiu in everyone's hearts was rare to let them play once.

After getting the right words and scattering, Su Xiangsi had no acquaintances, so he could only honestly follow Li Qinse and wander among the ladies. There was even a lady who took the initiative to talk to Li Qinse, and by the way, she took a look at the third lady who heard her before she saw her.

Su Xiangsi followed her obediently, laughing more and talking less, if she praised her, she blushed. After a circle, most of the ladies met. Others can be regarded as having seen Miss Su San.

Li Huaijing and her girlfriend rested in the gazebo, and their thoughts were always on Ling Jiao. She likes Mu Jinchen and knows a lot of people, and now she is waiting for him to nod her head when she has not decided on the marriage for a long time. But no matter how hard Mu Jinchen tried, she never gave her a response, she could afford to wait for Mu Jinchen, but her family couldn't afford to wait.

Seeing the lady beside Ling Jiao walking away, she greeted her best friend and walked towards her. In any case, I want to make a good impression on Mrs. Mu.

And Su Xiangsi didn't see Li Huaijing here, as if she was very familiar with her aunt. Li Qinse whispered to her to introduce the ladies and ladies, but she didn't see her react and looked at her gaze, knowing in her heart, she didn't care: "The children of the Dingguo Mansion are outstanding, and they are also candidates for daughter-in-law." ”

Su Xiangsi's heart trembled, daughter-in-law?

Li Qinse glanced at her daughter who had not yet reacted and did not continue, forcing her to be in a hurry backfired.

One after another, eunuchs took turns to come to the ladies with pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and each young lady had to write the talent and payment to be performed in the note. At that time, the queen and the emperor will draw lots together for the order of several performances. If you don't have a lottery, you can also perform spontaneously, and finally choose the most wonderful treasure or respond to a request, the emperor promised that a request is the most attractive, and someone who is unwilling can take the initiative to stand up and compete with each other, and choose the winning one.

Or, enter the palace as a concubine.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing girls, red flower arrangement, these boudoir women have to practice since childhood, and they quickly write notes with confidence. Su Xiangsi was a little difficult, what she was good at was not very convenient to take out her hand, pursed her lips and pondered for a while to write one, and wrote her name on the letter. I hope that the painting is good luck and does not draw her.

Through the stream, you can vaguely smell the fragrance of rouge gouache wafting from the women's seat opposite, and the suave son-in-law naturally knows that today in addition to his own policies and arguments in front of the emperor and the prince, there are also important things that his mother has told him thousands of times.

Most of the ladies can roughly understand the temperament of a certain boudoir woman between talking to each other, and even if they like it, it depends on the meaning of their son.

The women's and men's tables are set up so that everyone can wave ink at any time and evaluate in groups of three or five.

Son-in-law buddies will still be thin-skinned when they meet their children, and they will inevitably be scared if they look directly at the person opposite. I can only occasionally look at the woman who makes my heart move.

Mu Shizi is different, he has been standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back and facing the women's seat without moving. Although she was curious about what Mu Shizi had taken a look at, which woman didn't dare to disturb rashly. The face clearly said, 'Don't enter the living'

He has no interest in these so-called flower-viewing poems, and he came here early to wait for the first time. When I came back from Su Mingjin last night, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep. Angry that little Nizi didn't give him any chance to explain, and he couldn't force his way into her house.

When Su Xiangsi first arrived at the venue, Mu Jinchen saw her quickly. Li Qinse followed her wherever she went, and her smile was in her eyes. Many women only see her, and they only want to see her.

Mu Jinchen's eyebrows skipped when he saw his mother talking to Li Huaijing, no matter what they were talking about, it would not be good if Si'er saw it.

In the next second, Si'er really saw it, and the more expressionless she was, the more Mu Jinchen didn't understand her thoughts.

Si'er ignored him, he went to find her all the time, as long as he ignored him, there was still a chance. I already have a plan to go around a few corners in my heart, and I am confident that I will return with a beauty. Thinking about it, he raised his lips and chuckled, and the girls opposite him were fascinated by their hearts.

Su Qing had already made a marriage, and when she looked at the other side, everyone thought she was looking at Yang Xun. Only she knows the person she thinks in her heart, every year there will be a lot of officials and ministers who want to send their concubines to King Yu's mansion, but what kind of character is King Yu, who is upright and righteous and does not indulge in women.

Since the Lantern Festival, he has never been able to meet with King Yu again, although he expressed his intentions from the letter and explained the situation that night to resolve the estrangement between the two. But Su Qing's heart has never been stable, and she has been trying to find a way to say a word to King Yu when she came to the palace.

Other ladies all let their daughters take a few more glances at the young man, but the Song family only asked Su Yiling how to behave in front of the emperor. has always instilled that she wants to enter the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth of the concubine, and the young man opposite looks at it but must not be moved.

How can the heartbeat be controlled by Su Yiling?
