Chapter 389: Hind Legs
After another quarter of an hour, the county lord of Huaiyang and Qin Hua arrived at the general's mansion one after another.
Qin Hua also brought a Song Qin, and the two were both handkerchiefs and sisters-in-law.
In this group of people, except for Bai Ying, the others are either already married, or they are just short of getting married like Song Qin Qu Xiaoyue.
For example, the county lord of Huaiyang and Yao Yiyi already have children.
When Bai Ying saw Song Qin, her first reaction was that fortunately, there were a lot of pearl powder, otherwise it would not be enough!
Song Qinsheng's slap face, eyebrows and eyes are similar to Qin paintings, which is closer to the appearance of Xiaojia Jasper, but there is a bookish atmosphere on his body. When she met the other few people, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I have long wanted to meet Miss Qu, and I came uninvited today, please forgive me." ”
Qu Xiaoyue returned the salute and said with a smile: "Miss Song can come, the General's Mansion is shining, and it is too late for Xiaoyue to be happy." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the cool Lake Pavilion together.
The people who came were more or less looking at Bai Ying's face, after all, Bai Ying had known Qu Xiaoyue since the year before, and during the time she was studying martial arts, she also went to the General's Mansion to teach Qu Xiaoyue every once in a while.
In the past, Qu Xiaoyue didn't like to socialize and only loved to paint in his own house, plus the Hua family managed the general's mansion, everyone only knew the eldest lady of the Qu family, Qu Huanting, and had no impression of the real concubine.
Later, Qu Xiaoyue rectified the mother and daughter of the Hua family, and occasionally came out to participate in a few poetry meetings, but she was not very familiar with other people, and over time, others stopped inviting her.
Now although Qu Xiaoyue is given to marry King Qi, many people are not familiar with her, and jealousy is mixed with contempt, thinking that she is not worthy of the beautiful King Qi.
Qu Xiaoyue originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but once I heard the gossip outside involving General Qu, they didn't say bad things about Qu Xiaoyue, they only said that General Qu obviously had a concubine with the same outstanding appearance and talent, but he only loved the little-known Qu Xiaoyue, and the concubine was a few years older than the concubine, and she still stayed in the boudoir and ignored it, so favoritism, it was too unfair.
In and out of the words, it seems that Qu Huanting is upset, but in fact, she belittles Qu Xiaoyue, she can have so much without anything, is she worthy of His Royal Highness King Qi?
- Not worthy!
But if you don't deserve it, others say it's useless.
They were Qu Xiaoyue or Qu Yingyue in the past, but she was unwilling to bear it, she set up this small banquet today, not only to see Bai Ying, she also had other intentions.
She didn't hide it from Bai Ying, and everything was explained in the letter.
Bai Ying was also willing to help her, but it was just a gesture.
Qu Xiaoyue usually doesn't interact with other nobles, but now she has made a post to the county lord of Huaiyang and others, and the county lord of Huaiyang asked that Bai Ying was also invited, and then used her brain to think about the recent topic in Beijing, and then knew the meaning of Bai Ying.
Yao Yiyi and Qin Hua didn't think much about it, just thinking that since Bai Ying wanted them to come, then they would take a trip.
The county lord of Huaiyang is different, she is the queen mother's favorite grandchild, and she can perceive the thoughts of the superior more than others, so she also thinks more.
If King Qi really wants to inherit the throne, then Qu Xiaoyue is the queen of the Middle Palace.
It is true that the county lord of Huaiyang is looking at Bai Ying's face, but it is undeniable that she is also willing to sell Qu Xiaoyue, and the two of them are also nominal "cousins".
"Ah Ying, have you read the poem I sent you a few days ago?" Qin painted Song Qin on the left hand and Bai Ying on the right hand, and she said obsessively, "What do you think of that poem?" I thought that there should be another painting to match, so beautiful, how about you have to paint one on it? ”
Bai Ying pointed at Qu Xiaoyue, "With her, how can I be ugly?" ”
Lord Huaiyang smiled: "Is Miss Qu's painting skills very good?" I hadn't heard of it before. ”
Qu Xiaoyue rarely goes out when he goes out, not to mention the county lord of Huaiyang, except for Bai Ying, who was present, he all had a surprised expression.
Qu Xiaoyue said: "If you don't mind, you can call me Xiaoyue." ”
Qin Hua immediately shouted "Xiao Yue" affectionately, "In this case, I will send the poem over when I turn around, and Xiao Yue will just look at it and draw casually." ”
Song Qin reminded: "Xiaoyue is still preparing for marriage, there may be a lot of things to be busy with, ...... painting."
Qu Xiaoyue said: "It's okay, I love painting since I was a child, and I still have this time." ”
Qin Hua smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his appearance was four or five points similar to Bai Ying, "Then thank you here, I will invite you to tea when I go back, and remember to come to Song's house as a guest." ”
Since Qu Xiaoyue said so, Song Qin is also a person who loves calligraphy and painting, and hurriedly said: "The painting is ready, show it to me." ”
With a common topic, several people instantly shorten the distance between them.
The county lord of Huaiyang hooked the white ying's sleeve, she turned around, raised her eyebrows and asked what was wrong.
The county lord of Huaiyang laughed in a low voice: "I just saw Qin Hua smiling, that appearance is very similar to you, should I say that I am really a cousin?" ”
Bai Ying's heart was weak for a while, and Qin Hua was still hidden in the dark by the Huainan Palace, "The third sister-in-law will spare me, I will never dare to hide anything from you next time." ”
"Okay, I'll just talk about it, and I'll scare you."
Bai Ying put her arm around her, thinking to herself that after so many years of getting along, I still don't know you?
"I brought a lot of pearl powder today, you bring a few bottles back, I will write the usage on paper for you, use it for a month, and keep it white."
Lord Huaiyang smiled, "Is it just me, or does everyone have a share?" ”
Bai Ying raised her eyebrows, "It's almost there." ”
Yao Yiyi leaned over, "What are you talking about?" ”
The county lord of Huaiyang immediately had an expressionless face: "I'm asking Ah Ying, which sister-in-law is closer." ”
"Of course it's me...... My cousin! Under the cool eyes of the county lord of Huaiyang, Yao Yiyi decisively changed her words, she was pregnant with Bai Ying and the county lord of Huaiyang sandwiched her in the middle, so that she could protect her, Yao Yiyi just wanted to pull the sleeve of the county lord of Huaiyang, but she held her arm, "Don't move your hands and feet, be careful about the road under your feet." ”
Yao Yiyi smirked twice, seeing that the county lord of Huaiyang couldn't pretend to be able to do so, he laughed.
Walk to the lake pavilion, sit down one by one, mother-in-law and maidservants have entered, the melons and fruits in the season are cut and put on the plate, fresh and refined pastries, flower tea and warm water, according to the preferences of the lord of Huaiyang and others.
This kind of small detail also made them feel Qu Xiaoyue's intentions and sincerity.
The county lord of Huaiyang raised her eyebrows slightly, quietly glanced at Qu Xiaoyue, who was talking to Qin Hua in a warm voice, pinched the teacup to cover her lips and smiled, she turned her head and said to Song Qin: "What month is Sister Qin's good day set for?" So that I remember, don't confuse it with Xiaoyue. ”
Song Qin's face was flushed, and he said, "One month earlier than Xiaoyue, on the eighth day of the eighth month of August." ”
"The eighth day of August? It's a good day. Yao Yiyi said, "That day is just the right day to get married...... Not. ”
Lord Huaiyang smiled: "It's a good day. ”
Bai Ying glanced at Yao Yiyi, who was gagged by the pastry, couldn't hold back her laughter, and said, "The third sister-in-law thinks you talk too much." ”
Receiving Yao Yiyi's resentful eyes, the lord of Huaiyang County said without changing his face: "What nonsense is Ah Ying, I am seeing that Yiyi is pregnant with a child, so I should eat more." ”
Yao Yiyi: Hmph!!
After a cup of tea, the maid continued to put on the ice cubes and retreated.
Qin Hua clasped his hands together and said: "It's too boring to sit and chat, let's make a poem!" ”
Song Qin's eyes lit up: "Okay, why don't you take flowers as the theme, a stick of incense, and see who writes well, how?" ”
Bai Ying: I don't think so.
Qu Xiaoyue looked over, and Bai Ying hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "I can't do it, I can't do it." ”
I'm sorry that I'm a fake school bully who has dragged everyone back m(つω')~
Yao Yiyi laughed dryly, "I won't join in the fun." ”
Although it is said that she spent gold in Taixue, she ...... That's mixed with water, okay?
The county lord of Huaiyang coughed lightly, "It's better to paint and chant poetry, and paint with joy." ”
Yao Yiyi: "I think this is good! ”
Bai Ying: "Agree! ”
Song Qin looked at this, looked at that, "That...... That's pretty good, too. ”
was aroused, and Qin Hua naturally agreed.
The host is casual with the guest, Qu Xiaoyue smiled, and also asked people to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Bai Ying and the others got out of the way and stood aside to watch.
Qu Xiaoyue suddenly raised her head and smiled at Bai Ying, "It's okay to bother Ah Ying to grind ink for us?" ”
Bai Mixed Eating and Watching the Drama Ying hurriedly walked over, "No problem." ”
Qin Hua and Qu Xiaoyue are both based on the theme of the pond full of lotus flowers outside the pavilion, one composing poems and the other painting.
No more familiar than Qu Xiaoyue with her own lotus flowers, minute by minute ink into a painting, Qin Hua thought for a moment, and leaned on the railing to enjoy the beautiful scenery, she sniffed the fragrance of lotus leaves in the air, and sighed: This touch of green in summer is the coolest. ”
Bai Ying smiled: "What about the time for a stick of incense, have you thought about it?" I didn't write it out, but I was punished. ”
Song Qin chuckled and said: "My brother is not here, and I like Ah Ying the most when I paint, so let Ah Ying be punished for painting." ”
Bai Ying snorted, "No, like this." ”
Song Qin said: "Then change it, if you can't write the painting, Ah Ying will improvise a poem instead of painting." ”
"Sister Qin inevitably thinks too highly of me." Bai Ying said, "I won't do anything today, just be an ink girl for Painting and Xiaoyue, don't take me anymore." ”
The county lord of Huaiyang couldn't help but laugh and said, "If Mr. knew that the students he taught were such virtuous, would he blow his beard angrily and stare at him?" ”
Bai Ying: "The third sister-in-law dares to let Mr. know?" ”
Lord Huaiyang: "...... Hum. ”
Song Qin's eyes showed admiration and yearning: "Is Mr. Ji Yuan a Confucian?" ”
Yao Yiyi nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
Mr. is erudite and ambitious, but she is not very serious, and she has to rely on Ah Ying several times to complete her schoolwork.
This is still, Qin Hua smiled brightly and turned around: "Yes!" ”
She dipped her pen in ink, and her handwriting fell on the paper.
For people like Qin Hua, who have loved poetry and books since childhood, writing a poem is just a trivial matter that can be caught by hand.
It was about a pool of lotus leaves and lotus flowers that gave her too much inspiration, and after writing a poem, Qin Hua continued to write in the blank space.
Song Qin and others surrounded the side, naturally under their eyes.
At a glance, Song Qin was the first to applaud: "Good!" ”
Bai Ying read the last two lines of the poem and was full of praise: "It seems to be plain, but it is actually the finishing touch...... Painting and writing, comparable to the champion! ”
Qu Xiaoyue glanced up at Bai Ying, couldn't help but smile, she stood up straight, put down her pen, and said softly: "Okay." ”
