Extra: Ji Chen's first encounter (Ji Xun & Chen Zhuo
The third day of March. Morning, sunny.
Chen Zhuoer turned over, feeling uncomfortable, and turned over again. I closed my eyes and moved my arms, still sleepy. I was too lazy to open my eyes, so I simply kicked my legs hard, stretching my muscles and bones and feeling comfortable.
Miss Chen stretched her waist lazily and gradually returned to her consciousness, only then did she squint, and the warm sunlight shone calmly into the bedroom through the blue screen window, and it turned out that the sky was already bright.
"Miss, you're awake." The little maid Abi came into the room with her clothes in her hand, ready to serve the eldest lady and get up.
"Abi, what time is it?" Anyway, Miss Chen is spoiled by her father, and she doesn't need to say hello in the morning, so she just sleeps a little more every day.
It's really rare to see such a big lady.
The little maid grew up with Miss Chen since she was a child, and she has never been exposed to the daily life of other young ladies, and she is accustomed to her own young lady's virtues, thinking that the life of the eldest lady should be like this.
That's not the case at all!
On that day, the lady took the young lady to the royal family for a banquet, and the young ladies laughed and talked together, comparing clothes, jewelry, and their own embroidery. Miss Wang's embroidery of the "breeze chirping cicada" used on the silk thread is good, the color matching is just right, the stitches are dense and delicate, which just reflects the beautiful artistic conception, and the overall embroidery is quite profound, which makes Abi breathtaking. It turned out that the Wang family invited the leading embroidery girl in the state and county to teach the young ladies to be popular, and the young lady of the Wang family was diligent, and it was difficult to learn well; Miss Zhang's flower arrangement skills stood out in the competition, but despite this, Miss Zhang's behavior did not have the slightest smug and arrogant attitude, and everywhere reflected the peace and gentleness that a rich lady should have; Miss Zhao Jia...... Miss Zhao family can talk to her own young lady, the two are simply equal in the lack of learning and no skills, although the first time the two met a little bit of a sense of hating each other, but each other still has concerns about the surrounding eyes, afraid of others behind ridicule, therefore, each other is very restrained. However, since then, Miss Zhao and Miss Zhao have a similar smell. Miss Zhao doesn't like women, likes sticks, doesn't like red makeup, loves arms, although she was born in a business, she appreciates Mulan's feat of serving in the army for her father, and she is bent on serving the battlefield with a crotch knife.
Alas, their young lady's best friend, Miss Zhao, is a strange person, so don't mention it.
Miss reads a lot of books, although the business of reading the account books is transparent, but compared to Miss Wang and Miss Zhang, there are not many daughters like them.
Abi heard that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, compared to other eldest ladies who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are almost no "talents" in her own miss, but, de-
If you don't like to get up early, is it considered virtuous to sleep lazily? Is it considered virtuous to go out and love men's clothing without going out and love to go over the wall without going to the front door? Read all the four books and five classics, and threaten to dislike Kongqiu, is it considered virtuous? Sometimes it's not good to look at the ledger all night for fun?
Abi thought helplessly, after all, she is her own miss, let her go.
Once, the little maid of the Zhang family whispered: "My young lady is the most intelligent, she can learn flower arrangement, and she is born with a pair of skillful hands," the little maid said proudly, a little forgetful, "I heard that your young lady is a demon king of the mixed world......
Abi immediately quit, who wouldn't quarrel, "How can you speak, in addition to reading "Women's Rules" and "The Book of Filial Piety", has your young lady read a lot of other books?" My young lady can read the account books to do business, and your young lady probably can't even think about it, right? ”
And then...... Then Abi felt that her own young lady's image was tall and glorious, what is someone else's young lady, or her own young lady!
……
The tall and glorious Miss Chen asked Ah Bi: "Ah Bi, what time is it?" ”
"It's almost hour, miss." Abi lifted the veil with her hands.
At this time, Ah Cheng came over.
"Miss, the water is ready. It rained two days ago, but today it is sunny and the weather is refreshing and warm. Ah Cheng put the water on the basin rack and reported the weather today.
"It's just right, let's go out for a walk after washing, and Miss Ben will take you out today to see and see."
To see again?
Chen Zhuoer got dressed and came down, inexplicably a little excited, "How about we go boating in Nanhu?" ”
Abi Acheng was a little scalp fried when she heard the eldest lady's words, and she didn't have much to know when she went out, so she was afraid that Miss Chen would go out to see! The eldest lady is too playful, and she doesn't press the point when she should go home. Over time, the two of them hardened their heads and practiced a pair of broken mouth skills, and if the eldest lady did not want to return home when the golden crow entered the forest, they had to sacrifice their housekeeping skills, turning into flies, mosquitoes and bees, buzzing and buzzing, until the eldest lady Chen voluntarily returned home.
At the same time, knowing that the daughter is like her father, Chen Zhuoer, the pearl in the palm of her hand, went out with the front foot, and the old man Chen sent a number of guards on the back foot, not far away, not close, when Miss Chen flicked her sleeves and went back to the house, these guards wiped their sweat and went back to hand over the errand.
"I'd better change into men's clothes." Chen Zhuoer thought for a while, and then took off the clothes he had just wore, "Bring my blue robe - by the way, the charlatan who came to the house yesterday told his father that my true destiny is coming today, and he will meet me, it's just nonsense, I want to go out and see how he explains to my father!" ”
The eldest lady changed into men's clothes, quite delicate and heroic, took a few mouthfuls of snacks, and took two Abia oranges, which was very ostentatious...... I climbed over the wall and went straight to Nanhu.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Miss Chen had a flash of inspiration, remembering that Nanhu was several miles away from Chen's mansion, and walking to it would definitely tire her feet, so she hired a carriage and set off.
Nanhu is a local scene in Lin'an, not far from the lake, there are streets and alleys, there are wine shops, teahouses, inns, brothels, selling flowers, performing arts, selling all kinds of gadgets, the traffic is busy and lively.
On weekdays, the sons of the family and the literati like to linger here, chanting poems, fighting wine and listening to music, and the elegant ones are drunk and drunk, and they are all rolling around with hysteria in the three glasses of wine in the red dust.
Today is the day of spring and Jingming, there are willows on the shore of the lake, and the willows are tied to horses; There are boats on the lake, and there are people on board; There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and there is a poem in the pavilion bar.
Miss Chen and Abi Ah Cheng came to the lake, the lake water was sparkling and green, and the three of them chartered a small boat under the willows, boarded the boat, and the boatman untied the cable on the shore, rowed forward lightly. Standing at the bow of the boat, the breeze is not dry, and the clothes are lightly swayed, which makes people feel relieved.
There were already quite a few boats chartered in the lake, and in a short time, more than a dozen boats were floating on the open lake.
"Boat man, can you race rowing? We overtook the one in front! "Miss Chen's playfulness has come up.
"Okay, the little boy is standing firm!" The boatman straightened his waist and arched his legs, his arms were forced, and then he arched his waist and kicked his straight legs, and his legs were strained, and several boats went back and forth to speed up and catch up with the ship in front. The eldest lady lay on the bow of the boat, laughing and cheering.
A young man with a long body standing on the boat in front of him turned his head when he heard the laughter, and collided with the smiling Miss Chen, the man was stunned, his eyes couldn't move for a while, he looked at Chen Zhuoer intently, and said in his heart: "This girl's true temperament is rare in the world." A sentence blurted out between the flashes and flints: "In Xia Ji Fengxin, dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" ”
"What miss, didn't you look at our son-in-law, this person has no eyesight!" Abi wasn't happy. Xindao, where is this Dengzi?
Chen Zhuoer looked at the man fixedly, his chest was pounding, and he wondered: "Is this 'Mo Shangren is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world'?" Did I see him somewhere, and why can't I remember him for a while? Strange, why is my heart so hot? ”
She involuntarily put one hand on her chest, feeling someone calling in her ear, turning her face to look at the source of the voice, Abi was pulling her sleeve and shouting, "Childe, Childe!" ”
Seeing that the person had finally returned to his soul, Ah Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the eldest lady: "Childe, let's go." ”
Chen Zhuoer came back to his senses at this time, and a red cloud rose on his face.
Ji Xun, the word Fengxin, came to Lin'an at the beginning of today, at the invitation of several friends to come to Nanhu to play, and was scheduled to go to Chen's house to meet the head of the Chen family on the second day.
I don't want to meet a young lady dressed as a man on the South Lake today, and when I first saw this young lady with a smart and delicate temperament, I suddenly had a good feeling in my heart.
But I don't know which lady it is?
A month ago, a senior learned that Ji Xun had not yet married, knew that his family style was profound, his character was outstanding, and he had the heart to be a matchmaker, but Ji Xun refused: "Fengxin knows that his predecessors have a heart of love for Fengxin, and Fengxin has thanked his predecessors for their kindness, and Fengxin has the courage to not believe in the words of the matchmaker, and is willing to choose a person who is in love with him to spend his life together." ”
Seeing the girl in men's clothes for the first time, Ji Xun became even more determined in his thoughts. Everyone in the world says that they want to win the heart of one person, but how hard is it to find someone with a heart? I don't think I am so fortunate that this destined person is here and now.
"Brother Li, can you find out who the talented woman is for Feng Xin?" Ji Fengxin hurriedly asked Li Du, who came with him.
"Girl?" Li Du looked at the boat that had just turned his head and walked away, patting his chest, "What's so difficult about this?" Although it is wrapped up in the brother! ”
Ji Xun chased Chen Zhuoer with his eyes: "That girl, she is dressed as a man." ”
