Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Talented Woman in the Capital

Su Zhiyuan acted super fast, and within a few days, he went to buy a maid and came back: "Lady, this is what I bought at the dental store this morning, she knows some kung fu, she can protect you closely, if the lady wants to buy something, you can also let her go." ”

Banxia looked at the woman in front of her: tall and tall, with a plain face.

"Do you have a name?" Banxia asked.

"Please give your name to the master."

"Then let's call you wishful!"

"Ruyi, thank you for the name."

Banxia looked interested: "Do you know martial arts?" ”

Banxia is very curious about the light work, internal force, etc., which often appear in TV series.

"Slaves know how to do some kung fu."

"Will it be light?"

"Yes."

"Is there an internal force, can you hit things in the air?"

"The slave has some internal strength, but it is not deep."

"Come on, come on, show off." Banxia held her cheeks in the shape of petals with her hands and looked at her expectantly.

Ruyi lowered his eyes and understood for a while, and then he understood what it meant to "show off", mentioned the internal force, and flew around the yard with light work.

Banxia applauded: "Okay, good." ”

Su Zhiyuan raised his forehead: That's it, the lady has been staying in the yard lately and it's boring, so it's good for her to be happy.

After a while, Banxia was tired and went back to the house to rest.

Su Zhiyuan called Mama Su into the study, and asked carefully about the state of the past few days and half a summer, knowing that the lady ate and drank well, so he was relieved.

He asked again: "Which house was Mama Su in on an errand before?" ”

Mama Su didn't dare to hide it: "Back to the second young master, the slave maid was on an errand in Luofu before. ”

"So far, does Mama Su still plan to hide it?" Su Zhiyuan looked at her sharply.

Mama Su knelt down.

Su Zhiyuan said lightly: "Let's talk about it." ”

Mama Su hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of her young master's outstanding literary talents, it would not be difficult for him to go to high school in the future, he must be mixed with officialdom, and it would be good to know some things earlier.

……

It's another sunny day.

At this time, a plum viewing banquet was being held in the backyard of Luofu.

The delicate ladies sat together and chatted about the new jewelry and dresses in the capital, while the ladies chatted about the children, and watched from a distance, a lively and harmonious scene.

A young woman in a pink skirt led a graceful and luxurious woman to the main seat, and Mrs. Luo said: "Today's house holds a plum banquet, thank you for coming to the cold house." ”

"Recently, the plum blossoms have bloomed very well, and we are fortunate to be able to see such beautiful plum blossoms in the Zhongshu Shilang Mansion."

"I just saw that there is Gong Fan Mei, this is a rarity."

Mrs. Luo pinched the veil lightly: "The lord knows that I am going to hold a plum banquet, so he specially ordered someone to go to Youzhou to find rare varieties." ”

"What a blessing Mrs. Love!" Many ladies complimented.

"My husband respects me, and my children are also dragons and phoenixes among people," Mrs. Shaoqing said with a smile: "Miss Luo is beautiful and talented, if this is my daughter, it will be too late to be pampered." ”

Luo Xue's face was slightly red, and she smiled. Although shy, his demeanor is generous and accepts everyone's scrutiny.

Although it is a plum appreciation banquet, the ladies present all know that this is a blind date banquet.

Luo Xue is already quite old, and because of Mrs. Luo's reluctance, she left her daughter until she was eighteen years old, and she has never agreed to marry.

Jiang Milan said a few words to the young lady next to him, turned his head and saw Luo Xue, so he walked this way, holding her arm affectionately: "Cousin is so beautiful today, this dress is the new style of Splendid Pavilion, it's so beautiful." ”

Luo Xue didn't say much, nodded and smiled.

At this time, Mrs. Shaoqing proposed: "Today's plum blossoms are very good, that is, the plum banquet, why don't you make a flower order and make a poem with plums, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Luo smiled: "This is very good, there are many young ladies here today, all of them are beautiful and talented, and we will watch the excitement on the sidelines." ”

He turned to his grandmother and said, "Pearl, bring me the ruby head in my room." ”

Mrs. Luo looked at everyone with a smile: "Today, I will use this ruby head as a color. ”

Many official ladies are unhappy: who doesn't know that Luo Xue is the first talented woman in the capital, and she is the best at poetry, with her, the rest are foils.

This Mrs. Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is used to ingratiating herself with Mrs. Luo, but she uses them as rafts.

Of course, some people are really pouring out of Luo Xue's talent, yes, I am looking forward to it.

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they are all calm.

A woman in yellow stood up generously: "Then I'll come first, throw bricks and lead the jade, sisters, don't dislike it." ”

The woman in yellow read a poem, which was unremarkable.

One person started the beginning, and several official ladies chanted a few poems, according to which there was not much to show.

Luo Xue stood aside, smiling, her pink dress fluttering in the air.

"Cousin, it's your turn." Jiang Milan held Luo Xue's hand affectionately.

In the eyes of everyone, Luo Xue calmly spoke: "There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone." I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Jiang Yun couldn't help but applaud, she was a fanatical poetry lover and admired Luo Xue very much.

Read this poem carefully: "Plum blossoms are not afraid of the cold to appreciate the noble character, use snow to metaphorize the ice and jade cleanliness of plums, and use "dark fragrance" to point out that plum is better than snow, which shows the great charm of strong and noble character. ”

The more Jiang Yun tasted, the more happy she became: "She is worthy of being the first talented woman in the capital!" ”

Praise from everyone:

"Of all the poems made by Miss Luo, which one is not a masterpiece."

"That's it, such a good literary talent can afford the title of the first talented woman in the capital!"

……

In the face of overwhelming praise, Luo Xue's face was still calm, and she was not shocked by honor and disgrace.

Mrs. Jin looked at it and nodded secretly, her family background is good, her writing is outstanding, she is calm and calm, if she is really a good woman, if she can marry her son......

It's a pity that their Jin family is a merchant, so I'm afraid they don't have much opportunity.

But after thinking about it: since she can receive an invitation to this plum banquet, it means that Mrs. Luo is also considering the Jin family, and after thinking about it, she has some confidence in her heart.

Mrs. Luo also secretly looked at the wives below, and said that she would marry high and marry low, but although Luo Xue was loved by her, she was not her own child.

Although it was later recorded in her name, her biological mother was a Qinglou woman after all, and many wealthy families in the capital looked down on this fake concubine.

Instead of being sent to the family to suffer, it is better to marry low, and if you are wronged in your husband's family, your mother's family can still help support you.

Mrs. Luo swept around, and compared the Xuanwei General's Mansion, Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Mansion and Jin Mansion.

Pulled these ladies and chatted a few words.

General Xuanwei's wife is too straight, Mrs. Luo doesn't like it, but Mrs. Shaoqing and Mrs. Jin of Guanglu Temple are good.

Although the Jin family is a merchant, the Jin family has a family rule: a man in the family can only take a concubine if he is thirty years old and has no children.

And the Jin family has a low portal, so naturally they don't dare to bully Xue'er, and Xue'er will not be wronged if she marries.

With the end of the plum banquet, Luo Xue's new poem "Plum Blossoms" also spread to Beijing with everyone.
