Chapter 78: The Five Elements Lack Beauty
The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious. As soon as the play ended, more than a dozen mermaids came out, wearing light gauze and thin skirts, as if they were in the opposite season from the guests present.
A grain of cinnabar between the eyebrows of the beauty in a high bun and red is particularly eye-catching, holding the pipa with her backhand, dancing lightly and elegantly, and her every move and smile can affect people's hearts.
Most of the girls were happy, but only a few of them had a faint expression, and they were not very interested in the beauty, and only thought about how to make face in front of the eldest princess after the banquet.
More girls whispered which beauty was more beautiful, which one danced the best and played the best, Yu Can liked the quiet girl who played the guqin on the side the most, and Yu Mingyi liked the girl in the red pipa the most, and the two of them also competed for this.
"She dances well, but what do you listen to her, if you don't have the guqin to cooperate, you won't be able to perform it a long time ago."
"Just your guqin girl, she's beautiful alone, ouch hey, but why didn't she become the protagonist?"
Yu Can snorted unconvinced, and continued: "That's because people are low-key and willing to be a foil, what a high level of consciousness." ”
"Shh Yu Mingyi made a childish grimace at her, "I see that you just lack what you like, and you lack 'quietness' in your five elements, so you like quiet girls." ”
"Oh, you like the girl in red because she is beautiful, which means that you lack 'beauty' in the five elements, right?" The heart-piercing crit finally made Yu Mingyi deflated, and Yu Can couldn't help but bow his head and laugh sullenly.
The girls watched with relish, but many of the ladies did not like it as much as the young ones. In particular, there is no shortage of warblers and mothers in the house, and they feel congested when they see this scene.
The Yao family and the Xu family have no concubines to worry about, and the acceptance of new things in Beijing is high enough, although they have never seen such a cool singer and dancer in winter, but they also feel very fresh and moving when they look at it.
The old sisters chatted while watching songs and dances, and they couldn't care about eating more chopsticks for the good wine and food on the table, and they felt that a pair of eyes and a mouth were not enough.
"Sister Xu," Yao Shi turned his eyes to look at the eldest princess, and saw that she seemed to be immersed in singing and dancing, so he leaned into Xu's ear and whispered, "Do you know what it means to hold a flower viewing banquet today?" Why don't you see a single male guest? ”
Xu pursed his lips and twisted a little uncomfortably.
"It should be to discuss the relatives of the Zhenguo Princess, and the eldest princess is trying to hide it. To the outside world, it was the first banquet at the end of the mourning period, and it was customary to invite the ladies of all provinces to sit down, but I heard my old lady say that most of it was to choose a daughter-in-law. ”
"What?" Yao's eyes widened in shock, and he muttered several words of Amitabha Buddha Daluo Jin Xianyun in succession, and he slowed down for a long time before saying, "My brain is really confused, isn't this why so many school-age girls were invited!" ”
"Sister, don't worry, the eldest princess is not a strong person. In these years, the family in Beijing has refused to discuss with the Zhenguo Princess, not to mention that there are nine out of ten, and the eldest princess will never be embarrassed. ”
Since Zhenguo Gong was not Zhen Guogong, the eldest princess was looking for a daughter-in-law everywhere, which scared several girls in Beijing to reluctantly marry their distant cousins, and as a result, they also promoted several couples.
Yao's surprise was not because she was afraid, she didn't think that the eldest princess would take a fancy to her daughter or a few girls from the Yu family, so she didn't worry about the need to reject the eldest princess.
It's not that the daughter and niece are missing, but the Yufu family is too low, and they are lucky to be able to participate in this banquet, and such a thing as discussing relatives can't hit them.
The reason why Yao was surprised was because he heard Yu Shuo muttering about Jing Yan all day long, and felt that he was heaven and earth. I didn't expect the eldest prince to have to make such a big move to discuss his relatives, and he could only invite people to the mansion by hiding it.
The girls in Beijing came to the banquet positively, and they all wanted to please the eldest princess, but they were afraid that they would please too well, so they accidentally became her daughter-in-law.
"Alas, it's really a family with its own worries." Yao thought of the cold young man who had met him a few times, and felt that it looked a little scary, but in general he was still a good boy.
"In my opinion, I don't know where the rumors about Zhenguo Gong were created. Saying that people are relatives and wives, and that people are good men, what is this called? I think it's just iron-hearted and don't want to make people good! ”
Xu didn't go deeper, and if he said it any further, it would be easy to get involved in the royal taboo.
The relationship between the Protectorate Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion is not close, but everyone is loyal to the monarch and never stands on the side of the Queen Mother and King Cheng. The Fu family has always believed that the bad reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion must all be attributed to the Empress Dowager Qi.
It's just that the reckless men of the Fu family dare to say that a daughter-in-law of the Xu family would never dare to mention it. She cautiously changed the subject and chatted with Yao about the marriage of her children.
The singing and dancing performances were scattered and dispersed, the stubble beauties came and changed, Yu Can ate a lot of dishes unconsciously, and the seven points of fullness that her mother usually asked for had already been left behind by her.
As soon as she is full, she is easy to get sleepy, especially when she sees the girls around her slowly picking up vegetables, and a green vegetable has to be chewed dozens of times, as if in slow motion, which is very hypnotic.
"You eat first, I'll go for a walk, Taozhi, you are here with my cousin." Yu Can really couldn't sit still, and she couldn't open her eyelids anymore, because there were many girls who changed their clothes and left the scene, she didn't stand up and didn't look at her.
Leaving the noisy garden, I just turned a corner, and the noisy sounds sounded like a thick wooden door through them.
Fragrant flowers were piled up on the path, and the cool breeze blew into a breath, Yu Can suddenly sobered up a lot, and most of his sleepiness dissipated, but he didn't plan to return so soon.
The maidservant girl near the path was very eye-catching, and she could see that she wanted to scatter aimlessly, so she stopped her steps and did not come to disturb.
Yu Can saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, it was really different to be on an errand in front of the emperor's relatives and relatives, if he didn't deliberately look for them, these maids didn't even seem to exist.
There are only two masters in the huge Eldest Princess Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion, and these "transparent people" like maids are quiet and sensible, and they don't even have any fireworks in the world when they come to the two mansions.
Yu Can thinks that Yu Mansion is better in comparison, although the old lady and the second room make trouble all day long, but the home is more laughter and liveliness, and when you are idle, you can also pull the maid and the maid to kick the shuttlecock and hide and seek together.
Thinking of this, Yu Can inexplicably imagined a picture in his mind, the graceful and luxurious eldest princess and the serious Jing Yan were counting shuttlecocks in the back garden......
"Poof-" Yu Can was amused by the picture in his mind, lowered his head and laughed for a long time before stopping.
Raising her eyes inadvertently, she realized that she had walked across a quaint little stone bridge and came to another garden. There were no waiting maids around, and the scenery became a little different.
The garden just now is full of flowers, the fragrance is pleasant, here there is only vigorous green, and the cold wind blows, it looks a little desolate.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Can knew that he was going to a place where he shouldn't have come, so he hurriedly turned his head and walked back the way he came. Before she walked back to the bridge, she suddenly heard a familiar cry in the distance, chirping, it was her Xiaobai.
"Splash monkey! Don't get back yet! Li Yu's voice came closely, and it sounded very angry. Grandpa Guo, I'm really sorry, I don't know why this monkey suddenly became excited, I'll go over and take a look. ”
