Chapter 78 Qing Talk
Liu Yin has always liked chrysanthemums, and many green plants are planted in the open yard, but the most are chrysanthemums.
She is different from Xu Xiao, Xu Xiaoxi orchid, the more precious she is, the more she loves it. Liu Yin is different, she likes to look at the golden big curly chrysanthemum, just like the golden gold is exciting.
"Sister Liu's chrysanthemums are really getting better and better, and you can see some differences every year, my sister must have put a lot of thought into it!" Mu Yuanshuang is the eldest daughter of Hezhou Mu, Hezhou Mu and Liu Yin have always had a relationship, last year when she was just admitted to the Jinshi, Liu Yin sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.
"Yuanshuang don't want to make fun of it, these withered flowers are worthy of you, today's chrysanthemum wine party is only set in the humble house, this year's vintage is not very good, this flower has also suffered some grievances, so it bloomed like this, but it disappointed you."
Mu Yuanshuang hurriedly said: "Where are you disappointed, look, this whole yard is caged by this chrysanthemum, and my eyes are full of these long-petaled chrysanthemums, which really makes my hands itch, I can't wait to pick them all and take them back!" ”
At this time, a tall woman walked over with three or two men and women, and after hearing her words, she laughed loudly: "Sister Yuanshuang is very right. This yard full of chrysanthemums is really eye-catching, if Sister Liu is willing, I want to move all home to pay tribute, and when the flower branches are about to wither, find a good day, and then pick the flowers to make tea and drink! ”
"It's still Miss Fang's wonderful words, this chrysanthemum is really suitable for making tea!"
More and more people gathered in the courtyard, but fortunately, Liu Yin had arranged the seats early in the morning, and there was a waiter waiting on each seat, but there would be no chaos.
Xu Han and Xie Yu found a place in the corner below, and sat idly listening to the others complimenting Liu Yin.
The chrysanthemum cocktail party will be held in Luzhou every autumn, but due to the high threshold for admission, people without invitations cannot enter, so there are not many people who participate in the cocktail party every year in the past. Since Xu Xiao was in Luzhou, the requirement to join the party by invitation was canceled, as long as you send your name sticker, you can come to participate in it whether it is a family or a poor family.
There is no threshold, the participants are all crowded to come in, can come here, even if they are not nobles, they are also talented women full of wealth, and it is of great benefit to themselves to be able to make friends with one or two.
The cubicle seats arranged in the backyard of Liu's Mansion were all full, and some of the later ones had to sit on the big flat at the bottom of the head. It's said to be a private seat, but it's just a few cushions.
Although Liu Yin doesn't have any great talent, she likes to be vassally elegant, and a backyard is properly cleaned up. Although there is no compartment on the big flat, everyone sits on the ground, behind them is a brilliant chrysanthemum, in front of them is a stream with nine turns and eight bends, but there is some elegance of winding water.
Many of these people are well-known people in Luzhou City, and Xu Han is from Beijing, and he is a well-known master who does not learn and does not know how to do it, so since she was admitted to the hospital, many people have looked sideways. After she sat down, someone next to her scolded Huai sneeringly.
"This chrysanthemum wine party is really not as good as a year, and even some wine naan rice bags can participate, it seems that it is not a good thing for Sister Xu to let go of the threshold."
Xu Han didn't react when she heard this, not because she didn't understand, but because she felt that she didn't need to care. But Xie Yu, who was sitting next to her, had a cold face, and the hand serving the tea tightened slightly. Fortunately, he was wearing a hood and outsiders did not notice.
"This tea is good, what do you think?" Xu Han seemed to have a spirit, raised his head and smiled at him.
Xie Yu's expression moved slightly, looking at the white jade face through the thin curtain of the hat, and softened his voice: "Barely quench your thirst." ”
"Humph! What does a person who is swelled by the smell of copper know how to taste tea? It's a shame! ”
Xu Han saw that the more the man talked about it, the more he said it, and said that he would just do it, and even pulled it on Xie Yu.
"I'm covered in copper and don't know how to taste tea, but at least I won't bite people everywhere like some people who are full of feces and bite like a mad dog."
"What did you say!" The man jerked to his feet.
Liu Yin had already heard the movement here, but she didn't plan to interfere, she just watched the excitement from afar.
"Don't think that if you are the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi, you can be rampant everywhere, this is Liu's Mansion, here is the Chrysanthemum Drinking Party, here are many scholars, where you talk about high opinions, how can you be a shameless person who doesn't learn and knows how to calculate money?!"
Xu Han glanced at him lightly, and said slowly: "Then I will ask this ......"
Her eyes were on the woman with angry eyes on her face, she was short and fat, but she was wearing a snow-white skirt, which did not look fairy but was a little nondescript.
Xu Han held back for a long time before he could hold back a word, "Please ask this knowledgeable young lady, all of you here today are well-educated people with poetry and books, how many places can you rank?" ”
Xue Zhimei was so embarrassed by her rhetorical question that her face suddenly swelled: "I can't be ranked, and you are even less qualified to rank!" ”
Xu Hanxiu's face was cold, her momentum suddenly rose, her eyes were like arrows, and she smiled sarcastically: "How about the woman in this world, you don't need to arrange it!" Since you have no confidence yourself, you dare to mock others ridiculously! There are such shameless people in this world! ”
Xue Zhimei was about to rush over when she heard this, but it happened that Xu Xiao stepped in from outside the hospital, Liu Yin saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly came out to make a round: "Everyone who comes is a guest, and everyone who comes is a guest, it's all me Liu someone who is not well entertained, the daughter of the world, Miss Xue should not be angry anymore, today is a clear talk, as long as you come, you are a friend, why bother for these little things?" ”
Xue Zhimei flicked her sleeves and snorted coldly: "For Sister Liu's sake, I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about a villain!" With that, he sat down and turned his head to look at her again.
Xu Han raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
The two stopped arguing, and the backyard returned to tranquility.
Xu Xiao naturally heard that something was wrong in the courtyard, so he came here, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yin in the town, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
She glanced at Xie Yu, who was sitting next to Xu Han, although he was wearing a hat, she was very sure that it was the Third Highness who came to find her last time.
She smiled and said loudly: "You are all famous literati and talented women in our dynasty, and they are all well-informed and knowledgeable. However, Xu is not as good as all of you here! So I won't make an axe in the class, just as before, and ask Mrs. Jiang to preside over this cocktail party. ”
Mrs. Jiang's name is Jiang Yan, she has been smart since she was a child, and she was already a child when she was ten years old, and she is a famous little prodigy in Luzhou City.
When she was fifteen years old, she went to high school to explore flowers, but later offended the villain and was demoted to Haizhou, she resigned angrily and returned to Luzhou City to set up a private school. Outsiders praised her as a noble hermit, not afraid of power, and conservative in her heart.
But when Xu Han heard it, he scoffed.
I didn't expect that she was organizing the drinking party this time, but you can imagine how boring this conversation will be.
Not long after the party began, she was drowsy to listen. This begins with a discussion about whether everything in the world is born of being or of nothing. With such an esoteric topic, she still had a good time shutting up.
She looked up at Xie Yu, who was listening carefully to the side, and admired him from the bottom of her heart, she could listen to it word for word when he was so boring, and when he finished drinking a cup of tea, she lifted the teapot and whispered to him: "I'll go around and listen to it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to snore." ”
I saw Xie Yu's veil move slightly. Xu Han suddenly became energetic, glanced left and right, and then exited the compartment lightly.
What she didn't notice was that Xue Zhimei next to her had been staring at her.
