Chapter 58: Seeing the Chang'an Flowers in One Day (1)
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go to the Sheng family to make an appointment, and it was the time to make an appointment, Shen Weizhen got up early in the morning, and she was dressed up by Danko, she was too lazy to choose clothes, and only had one request: be plain.
At the same time, there was peace in the Gu family's mansion, one of the four great families outside the palace. The second miss of the "first beauty" Gu family, who had not appeared in front of everyone for a while, was walking through the corridor and got up early to meet her mother.
The Gu family's housewife looked at her daughter who had lived in the Chonghua Temple of the National Temple for a while, everything was fine and she was relieved, "After living in Chonghua Temple for so long, are you willing to come back to see your old mother?" ”
Gu Qinglan smiled, "Mother, my daughter has been thinking about you." If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have come back from this trip. ”
"The Sheng family next door is holding a banquet today, and the post has been delivered, so you can go and have a look. No matter how much you don't like it, you have to be more or less gregarious. Mrs. Gu spoke bitterly.
Gu Qinglan didn't want to hear it at all, her mother had said it too many times, the nobles in Shangjing were all the same, what was there to make friends with.
"Anyway, you're going today. The Shen family has another daughter, who looks no worse than you, raised in front of the Queen Mother these days, and her temperament may be better than yours, so I always have to go and see it. ”
Gu Qinglan pursed her lips, "The Sheng family's banquet is for her?" Where did the girl from the Shen family come from, why hadn't she heard of it before? ”
"She is the youngest concubine of the Shen family, but the queen mother favors her, and the concubine is not so important." Mrs. Gu took Gu Qinglan's hand and said earnestly, "You haven't shown up in front of people for a while since you returned to Chonghua Temple this time, and this banquet is big, and it's all you juniors, how much do you want to go to ......?"
"Alright, alright, mother, I'll go, can't I go?" Gu Qinglan couldn't wait to pull out her hand and cover her ears.
Mrs. Gu withdrew her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "That's right." ”
Gu Qinglan got up extremely reluctantly to change her clothes, and also prepared to go to the Sheng family.
In the side hall of Ciyi Palace, Shen Weizhen stood in front of the mirror and looked at the outfit this time.
The girl is wearing a long skirt with red plums printed on a white background, wearing a light green veil, her shoulders are cut into a waist like a thin willow, and her skin is like a condensed fat and her air is like a quiet orchid.
The hair was casually tied in a loose bun, and a finely made white jade flower moon swayed with a few strands of silver silk beaded tassels. It's really simple, but it's fresh and elegant.
It was forbidden to ride in the palace, but the Queen Mother allowed her to sit in a small sedan chair to the carriage. There were two carriages, Shen Weizhen and Aunt Cui Yu got into the first one, and the second one sat with Dankou and spare clothes, refreshments and other items to bring.
The carriage moved, and Aunt Cui Yu showed up to complete all the procedures, and when she left the palace, she did not go to the main gate of the palace, that is, the Taihe Gate, but only took the side gate of Guangyun Gate in the west.
Shen Weizhen wanted to open the curtain and look out, but Aunt Cui Yu was afraid that she would say that she was not in order, so she sat still and did not move.
The carriage gradually drove onto the bustling streets, because Shen Weizhen heard the noisy shouting and smelled the aroma of food, which was the atmosphere of the lively market.
"Auntie, have you ever seen the Sheng family's daughter?" Shen Weizhen was afraid that he couldn't resist the urge to lift the curtain, so he took the initiative to chat with Cui Yu.
"Sheng Shuling, the second girl of the Sheng family? I have seen it, and the second girl Sheng came to the banquet in the palace a few days ago. ”
"Huh? I didn't know anyone at that banquet, and no one came to talk to me. ”
Cui Yu smiled, "The banquet in the palace is stricter, but this time it is different, they are all about the same age as you, this time the girl can talk to many people." ”
"What kind of person is the second girl?" Shen Weizhen only knew that the Sheng family was also one of the families side by side with the Shen family, but he didn't know anything about Sheng Shuling, and he didn't know why she rushed to the front to entertain her.
Cui Yu recalled, "It is rumored that the second girl Sheng is a crystal character with a delicate heart, and the world commented that she was 'more amazing than Zhuge Cai, and only sighed that she was born a daughter'." The slave and maid have only met a few times and have not had much contact, but the etiquette of several times is extremely thoughtful. ”
Shen Weizhen raised his eyebrows, judging from the rumors, this Sheng Er seems to be a powerful person, "What is this comment?" ”
"This, is the world's praise for the sons and ladies of a family like the girl, and the second girl Sheng is also known as the 'first talented woman in Beijing'. I want the girl to appear a few more times, I'm afraid there will be a ranking of comments. ”
"And who else does?" It must be an extremely top-notch character who will be talked about by people, even if she is rumored, she is afraid that she will be rumored.
Cui Han smiled, "An Shizi also has it, but An Shizi doesn't like it very much, so he doesn't allow others to say it in front of him." ”
Shen Weizhen was curious, and he was still disgusted by the praise he gave him, "What do you say?" ”
"'The appearance is three points more beautiful than the hairpin, and the sex is like the scorching sun'. An Shizi dislikes others saying that he is better looking than women. Cui Yu said with a little want to laugh.
Shen Weizhen read it a few times in his heart, Su Bo'an's face was really speechless, if it weren't for the ruffian spirit revealed from time to time on his body, it really couldn't tell the gender at a glance. He Su Poan also has today, hahaha!
Cui Yu said suddenly: "Speaking of good-looking, the girl is really the only one in the world, before I met the girl, I only knew that the second girl Gu was peerless, but after the girl came out, she was on par with the second girl Gu, I am afraid that the sons of the family in Beijing will make a fuss." ”
"Second Miss Gu?" It is also one of the four families, the Gu family.
Cui Yu nodded, "'Peony flowers bloom in true national colors, and red-clothed beings are fierce and charming'." Gu Er girl is also known as the 'No. 1 Beauty in Beijing', but the girl came out, and I don't know how it will be passed on in the future. ”
Shen Weizhen didn't answer, no matter how he passed it, it had nothing to do with her, I just hoped that there wouldn't be too many superficial people to post it.
chatting and time flies quickly, and the Sheng family is not far from the palace, about two quarters of an hour away. The four families of "Shen Gu Shengwen" were built in one place, occupying a few streets closer to the palace, this place is rarely populated, the street has always been quiet, and the magnificence inside can be faintly seen through the wall, which is really prosperous and extravagant.
But today, the Sheng family held a banquet, and the streets that had been quiet in the past were now full of cars and horses, and it seemed that half of the people who went to Beijing were invited.
The little servant of the Sheng family saw Shen Weizhen's palace-made carriage that was obviously different from others from a distance, and immediately knew who it was, and hurriedly went back to report it to the second girl.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Sheng Shuling also took the maid to the side of the carriage.
Cui Yu came out and helped Shen Weizhen get out of the carriage, and Shen Weizhen looked at the girl standing in front of him.
The orange-red Luo skirt is painted with exquisite makeup, if the posture is only above average, standing in front of Shen Weizhen's stunning color will only be eclipsed.
But this Sheng Er girl has a unique temperament, which makes people ignore her appearance after seeing her, and will only be attracted by her special temperament.
And this attractive temperament is mixed with softness and beauty, but it is an indescribable feeling, which may be extremely attractive to men?
"Sister Sheng is good." Shen Weizhen made a flat salute.
Sheng Shuling immediately returned the salute and said with a smile, "Look at me, I only cared about my sister's complexion, but I forgot the etiquette." My sister really can afford to say that the country is overwhelmed, and I was stunned. ”
Shen Weizhen also had a signature smile, "My sister praised it falsely, and my sister is also good-looking." ”
"Sister, don't be modest, just come to Shengfu today to have fun, what you want to eat, what to play just tell me, don't be polite." Sheng Shu Lingxuan helped Shen Weizhen's other hand and walked towards the door.
On the spacious road, Miss Gongzi who got off from the other carriages all looked at Shen Weizhen. At the beginning, the banquet was too far away, and I could only see it approximately, but when I saw Shen Weizhen at such a distance today, I really wanted to sigh at the ice muscles and jade bones, which was unique.
"It's all us juniors who are here today, and my sister just relaxes and plays. Shall we go and see our mother first? ”
Shen Weizhen nodded, "Okay, listen to my sister." ”
Sheng Shuling smiled, with a softness between her eyebrows, "My sister is really well-behaved and good-looking, I also want to have a sister like you." ”
"Sister, don't make fun of me, let's go."
When Shen Weizhen walked to the main courtyard of the Sheng family to meet the Sheng family's housewife, the male guests also arrived one after another.
In the flower hall not far from the gate of the Sheng family, there is a noble son in brocade clothes and a golden crown, with a handsome appearance, it is Sheng Yanxi, the eldest son of the Sheng family. He was also entertaining visitors, but most of them were received by the little maids, and he also entertained a few of the more noble, but he was also idle.
"Eldest prince, it seems that someone has come to Jing'an Palace." A small guy standing at the door hurried over to report back.
"Jing'an Palace?" Sheng Yanxi was a little puzzled, except for Su Bo'an, the prince of Jing'an, there is no Miss Gongzi in the palace? Why don't you say that An Shizi has arrived?
"Yes, it is indeed the carriage of the Jing'an Palace."
"Carriage? Let's go, go out and have a look. Sheng Yanxi lifted his robe and walked towards the door.
Happened to arrive at the gate, I saw that the carriage curtain tattooed with the family crest of Jing'an Wangfu was opened, Su Boan jumped off the car without waiting for the attendant to put a stool directly on the car door, his movements were neat, and the end was boundless and chic, which provoked a group of noblewomen on the side to cover the handkerchief and scream quietly, watching him whisper.
"Yo, the sun is coming out of the west today, right? The famous An Shizi actually took a carriage? Sheng Yanxi looked at Su Bo'an, who never took a carriage in order to be handsome, and was amazed.
"Can you handle it? The master came to you to give you face, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't welcome him, he leaves. Su Poan dusted off the hem of his clothes, and his tone was a little impatient.
"It's not right under it, it's wrong under it. Lord Shizi, please here! "I almost forgot that this man was a master. Sheng Yanxi immediately put away the ridicule and saluted dignifiedly.
"You talk a lot of nonsense." Su Boan didn't wait for the master's family to leave first, and walked directly to the Sheng Mansion.
Sheng Yanxi couldn't bear to beat Su Bo'an's heart, and followed him to show him the way.
I feel a little strange in my heart, why is this master also here, the little overlord of Kyoto, notoriously arrogant, doesn't he usually look down on this kind of banquet?
