Chapter 55: Flying Flowers Ask for Directions
Originally, Qin Huai thought that the chamber of commerce was a group of businessmen talking about the tax on the income of the year, or setting the next month's business, or talking about what business is better now.
But it wasn't until she and Yan Biyu arrived at the gate of Cao's Mansion that they found out that the Chamber of Commerce was actually not like that.
Most of the people who came to participate in this chamber of commerce were young nobles and brightly dressed boudoir ladies, and I think that coming to the chamber of commerce is just a change of reason for talking and laughing, which is contrary to the original intention of the chamber of commerce.
Listening to Yan Biyu, originally this time the Chamber of Commerce was only run by the official family and the Su family, but somehow, Cao Yingying had to pester her father to participate in the peace. Say that you are going to Xunyang soon, and finally say goodbye to everyone.
And what is even more unexpected is that Guandu and the Su family even agreed, so the location of this chamber of commerce was set in Cao Mansion.
The entrance of Caofu was very lively, and someone was specially invited to play music. Cao Yingying personally stood at the door to greet her, and from time to time she exchanged a few words with the sons who came in, and then was taken into the house by the housekeeper.
Yan Biyu got out of the carriage and glanced at Cao Yingying, who was dressed in rose-red brocade, and her flying bun that was about to be inserted into the door frame today, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yan Zhengcheng is really courageous, if she can't come, she really won't come, and it's okay if she doesn't come, so that she always wants to destroy the good marriage between me and the official son."
It's not that Yan Xiangcheng doesn't want to come, it's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world, she has done a lot of wrong things one after another, and even the Yamen was shocked by Zhang Sanyi's case. Originally, Qin Huai thought that she was a smart person who knew how to endure, but in the face of power, she was just a poor person who was carried away.
Not to mention making a wedding dress for the Qiu family in vain, I'm afraid that even my uncle will be offended. These nobles didn't say or ask on the surface, but in fact, they were like mirrors in their hearts, so they naturally deliberately avoided her.
Yan Biyu tidied up the wrinkled dress on the carriage a little, and pulled Qin Huai to remind before stepping into the gate of the Cao family.
"Okay, you have to help me today."
Qin Huai patted her hand and spoke firmly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely count my words, but it depends on you whether I can make the official son's heart move."
Cao Yingying was busy explaining something to the people below, and when she saw Qin Huai and Yan Biyu arriving, she hurriedly came over to talk.
As soon as she approached, Qin Huai smelled the strong and pungent fragrance of flowers on her body, and only felt the tip of her nose itch.
"Yo, the two sisters are here, just now I was talking to the people below about the recent major events of your Yan family. The Yan family has been in the limelight recently. An aunt and wife went to the mansion when they entered the door, so that the whole Yunzhou City knew about it, and my mother also said that she must prepare a big gift. ”
Today, she is the owner, and on the surface, she is very enthusiastic, but she doesn't know how to pick good things to say, but seems to be deliberately squeezing Qin Huai and Yan Biyu.
"Thank you Madame for your kindness, seeing that our aunt and Mrs. are about to receive the basin, it is better to give the child's full moon gift together, and save you from running a few more times in Xunyang City."
Cao Yingying really didn't expect Yan Biyu to be so shameless and inch by inch, but this was at the gate of their Cao family, and she couldn't refuse the guests' opinions.
"This is natural, not only the full moon gift of the little son, but also my sister's wedding gift, I am ready, but I don't know, sister, the Ruyi Langjun you have in your heart is willing to let me give this gift."
Cao Yingying is also a metaphor that Guandu has no intention of Yan Biyu, let her die as soon as possible.
"I heard that the third prince is only twenty-three now, Sister Cao seems to be two years older than the third prince, and I don't know if she can be selected as a show girl."
Yan Biyu couldn't hold back and sneered.
Qin Huai remembered what she had said last time in the Yan family, and also remembered that her actual age was the same as Qin Huai, but she deliberately wanted to say that she looked old and made her angry.
Cao Yingying was about to be anxious, but there were guests here, so she had to ask the housekeeper to bring the two of them in first, and she was preparing to settle the account for a while.
After entering the living room, I found that Cao's Mansion was so big, there were several places in the corridor and lotus pond alone, and the stone bricks were all rare to see, as well as the infinite scenery of the Lake Pavilion, which made people sigh that Master Cao had been an official for many years, and whether his behavior was honest and proper.
The good strategies in this living room are full of dazzling food, and there are drinks that exude a real chuckle, but these delicacies and the aroma of wine are afraid that it is difficult to overshadow the taste of Cao Yingying.
Yan Biyu thought about it, and at a glance saw the official ferry in the Huxin Pavilion in the distance, so she took Qin Huai's hand and rushed forward to say hello.
I have to say that Guandu's woman's fate is really good, and whenever he sees him, he is surrounded by women.
How to say that he is also the protagonist of today, the owner of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce, he is naturally dressed decently and appropriately today, especially his four-square-square pointed hat, which is especially suitable for him.
At this time, Guandu was flying with a few girls, several of whom were familiar faces, looking at the roulette wheel in front of him, a wind word game seemed to have just begun.
Dancing and writing is not Qin Huai's strong point, in order not to show foreign appearance, she immediately decided to leave first.
"Sister Biyu and Sister Mingyue are here, please take a seat."
As soon as she turned around, Guandu called her name, and politely gave way to her and Yan Biyu, and suddenly many pairs of unkind eyes stabbed straight over.
Yan Biyu didn't care, but Qin Huai was uncomfortable, in fact, Qin Huai still enjoyed these jealous eyes when she was in Xunyang, but now she didn't want to be misunderstood.
Qin Huai was arranged to sit next to Guandu, while Yan Biyu sat next to Qin Huai.
The woman who was sitting next to Guandu was suddenly separated from her, and her face immediately showed displeasure, and she immediately became troubled.
"The official son just said the sentence 'The good wind relies on the strength to send me to the green clouds', otherwise it will be up to Sister Mingyue to take the next sentence."
Qin Huai is familiar with this woman, as if she was also present at the last Spring Festival banquet, and she and Yan Cheng talked happily, thinking that it was also deliberate.
However, Qin Huai really didn't have any ink in his stomach, and most of the few poems he remembered were love poems copied for Duan Xiaolang, or they were quatrains on the screen of the female official's house.
If you use the word wind to enter the poem......
Seeing her frowning, the woman who provoked the conversation raised her eyebrows and smiled, she had already poured the wine for Qin Huai, and was waiting for her to come out.
But dating back not long ago, Qin Huai really had such a sentence!
She straightened the hem of her skirt and sat cross-legged on the cushions, looking at the roulette wheel in front of the table and staring at the memories.
"Hold your head high, Ling Shuang refused to come."
This poem originally came from Liu Yanxin's mouth, or when Duan Xiaolang wrote to her for help, she asked Liu Yanxin for help, and Liu Yanxin casually pinched such a poem for her on the day of the state banquet, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.
The original sentence of this poem is: Climb the green tile with a branch, and send the Xuantai with pride. Holding his head high, Ling Shuang refused to come.
The original intention was that the snow in Xunyang City this year came later than usual, which made people wait. But the day the snow fell, it also happened to be the day when Qin Huai was wronged......
"It's not bad."
"It's really right."
"It's really unexpected, it's worthy of being from the Bai family."
Qin Huai could hear the whispers of the nobles to each other, to say that Liu Yanxin was a talented woman in Lanzhou City, and a woman recognized by the literary master Li Qingliu, her poetry attainments were naturally not a problem.
Qin Huai felt the stolen gaze of the official dun beside him, so he didn't look back at him, but just kept turning sideways to face Yan Biyu. Just as she looked away, she happened to glance at an acquaintance outside the corridor.
That person is Luo Nanqing, I don't seem to be out of tune when I haven't seen him for a few days, but he is silent a lot, and he doesn't sit with Guandu, it's really strange.
Finding that Qin Huai was also looking at him, Luo Nanqing withdrew his gaze and walked away with the wine jug until he disappeared into the crowd.
The noble girl who asked the question just now saw that she, a country straw bag, could still have such a good sentence, and her eyes stopped on Yan Biyu while she was irritable.
"Then the next one is Miss Yan, if you don't come up, you will be punished for drinking."
There were other nobles on the other side who echoed, but seeing Yan Biyu rolling her eyes, it was not difficult for Qin Huai to come to a conclusion.
That is, these noble ladies don't have a good relationship with her......
Yan Biyu is not like Yan Cheng, who can do things in the scene, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are all expressed on her face, and she doesn't know how to hide it.
"I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors."
Yan Biyu did not hesitate, she said this sentence exactly the lower que of Jasper made up a tree high.
After that, this flying flower order came again, and everyone just thought it was boring, and someone remembered something.
"I heard that Sister Cheng has temporarily taken over the power of the family, which shows that Master Yan attaches great importance to her, but Sister Biyu, you are the eldest sister anyway, why don't you see Master Yan looking at you differently?"
At first, the troublesome noble girl was still unwilling to let Yan Biyu go, so she took Yan Makeup as the head of the family to stimulate her.
"Cousin Biyu is obsessed with poetry and painting tunes, and she also knows a lot about the way of business, so she is naturally not good at fighting for power in the house, and my uncle also said that I want to let Cousin Biyu go out to experience and experience."
Qin Huai helped Yan Biyu to round out the words without showing her face, and she got a grateful look, and of course she got more white eyes.
"Just take this opportunity today to ask the official son to do me a favor, and after that, our jasper shop will ask you to take care of it."
In fact, Qin Huai really doesn't recommend her to do business with Yan Biyu's brain, but as long as she can create opportunities, even if she loses some money.
If my uncle got such an excellent son-in-law......
Somehow, the strong fragrance on Cao Yingying's body floated over again, and sure enough, it implied that he had not seen him, and he smelled it first.
"You're all here."
Before Guandu could answer, Cao Yingying appeared, interrupting everyone at the right time, and did not give Guandu a chance to answer.
"This Flying Flower Order is still the same as before, why don't we play another game, this is a popular new game in Xunyang, and it is the most tested."
She separated Guandu from Qin Huai as if no one was around, because the place was limited, so she was closer to Guandu.
Qin Huai couldn't stand the smell on her body, covered his nose slightly, glanced at his side, and Yan Biyu also pouted. And Guandu was very natural, he didn't even frown, as if he didn't have a sense of smell at all.
However, the other nobles didn't dare to question her action, and they all lowered their eyes and didn't look directly.
"Tell me about it? I'm one of the novelties. ”
Cao Yingying's words, not many people dare to say no, and the nobles are holding her intentionally or unintentionally, so they naturally have to accept it.
"It's called the Unspeakable."
Qin Huai was obviously stunned when he said this name, isn't this the game he came up with when he pestered the female officer? Unexpectedly, after these few months, it has all spread out of Xunyang.
And this name was also proposed by other literati on the spot, not by herself.
Cao Yingying couldn't wait to say how to play this game, for fear that someone on the spot wouldn't understand.
"I'll tell you the end of a story, you have to guess the process of the story, you can ask me some questions in a while, but I can only nod or shake my head, if I can't answer, don't react, guess all the right ones first."
Exactly the same.
"It's fun, let's get started."
Yan Biyu was a little uneasy, and quietly pulled Qin Huai's sleeve under the table. Qin Huai was confident, and grabbed her with his backhand to make her relax.
"Let's start with the first one. There was a woman whose husband was a famous general, who had been away from home for 30 years because of a defeat in battle, and returned to his homeland after 30 years. And the people who knew the general back then either died of old age or died in battle, but the woman openly accused the old general that he was not herself. After an investigation by the Shuntian Mansion, it was confirmed that the general was not impersonating. So what is the woman's secret that is difficult to say? ”
Cao Yingying looked around at everyone with a smile, as if she had determined that everyone couldn't guess the truth of this story, especially the way she looked at Qin Huai, it seemed to be a provocation.
Qin Huai also smiled awkwardly at her, but couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Even the title is the same, she still thinks Cao Yingying can change any fresh stories, isn't this just copying everything?
This story comes from a very interesting miscellaneous book.,It's the story of three hot-blooded teenagers.,It's also what she thought was interesting when she first read it.,That's why I took the beginning and end of the story and put it in the title.。
