Chapter Twenty-Nine: Miss Eight's "nemesis" is actually Miss Five
The banquet is not as simple as lip service, nor can it be done the next day. The Lin family asked the family to send the invitation over to invite, and she had to go in person if the card was relatively large; Then you have to arrange the tables, chairs, utensils, fruits, snacks to be used on the table, and you have to arrange the position of the seat, etc., in short, there is a series of this and that to be processed.
The Lin family was very busy, but Yi Xiangxiang was very idle, so the next day the college reopened, and she went to the women's school of Lusheng College to see the daughters "fighting". Since she doesn't need to compose poetry, she likes to go to class, not to mention other fun, let's just say that this girl with a beautiful face and moon looks is also a feast for the eyes.
"Xiao Ling'er, don't think that you are Jiang Jingshan's cousin and can do whatever you want, you are so rude and willful, be careful that no one will dare to marry you in the future!" As soon as Yi Xiangxiang walked into the school, she heard Hu Xuehui yelling at Xiao Ling'er.
Xiao Linger was dressed in a white jasmine dress, with an embroidered white ribbon around her waist, and a bright moon drop bead earring hanging from her ears. I only heard her say sarcastically to Hu Xuehui: "Hu Xuehui, are your Hu family not ashamed like you?" What does the yellow flower girl say about marrying here every day, do you have rules? I'm not afraid to laugh off other people's big teeth! Besides, who saw me spill ink on you? Obviously, you accidentally knocked over the inkstone! ”
Xiao Ling'er's snatching was very tricky, not only did she not admit that she had soiled Hu Xuehui's clothes, but also scolded her. What's even more excessive is that Xiao Ling'er laughed out loud after she finished speaking, so the other ladies behind her also laughed cooperatively!
Yi Xiangxiang glanced at Hu Xuehui, she was also wearing a white dress today, but the embroidery of the skirt was an elegant June snow, although it was a pure outfit, but her eyes were charming, and her seductive eyes had a charming charm, so she had a different style when she wore it. Hu Xuehui's white dress completely compared Xiao Ling'er to the dust, no wonder the latter deliberately embarrassed her, this is obviously naked jealousy! Yi Xiangxiang also secretly thought that this Tongzhou Hu family was really extraordinary! She looked at the ink stains on the hem of Hu Xuehui's skirt and lamented that it was a pity, most beauties are easy to be troubled!
Yi Xiangxiang was sighing, Hu Xuehui's mood had calmed down here, and her eyes were full of ridicule at Xiao Ling'er: "I don't know who goes to the school next door every day, I don't know if it's checked, forget it, and see the sky and the man messing around!" ”
The male and female schools of Lusheng College are only separated by a wall, although they belong to two courtyards, but Gao Min, the dean of Lusheng College, once said: "The same poem, men and women will have different opinions, and the students in the school, whether male or female, are students of Lusheng College, so they should be counted as brothers and sisters, and brothers and sisters can discuss poetry together, but they cannot exceed the rules." Even though Dean Gao said this, many female students do not go to the men's school easily, but Xiao Linger ran next door to see the sky, so that Hu Xuehui was very ashamed.
"Shut up! I...... I'm here to learn poetry well, like you! What is like you...... is the same as Yi Xiangxiang, who has no talent and no virtue, and can't even make a whole poem! Xiao Linger was a little anxious to defend, but suddenly found Hu Xuehui's sore foot and stepped on it fiercely.
Xiao Linger is not wrong about one thing, that is, Hu Xuehui is beautiful, but she really has no literary talent, and was once called a vase by her classmates. But this is not the point, the point is that at this time, Yi Xiangxiang had already walked to the last row of the school by the window and sat down, and was suddenly named, but she really didn't react. However, Yi Ruofu, who was sitting in front of her, heard it, and saw her "snap" and slapped the table and said, "Xiao Ling'er, do you think that no one can cure you?" My eighth sister is also something you can choreograph? ”
Yi Ruofu has had a very close relationship with Yi Xiangxiang over the years, she doesn't even like to be close to her sister Yi Ruonan, and prefers to play with Yi Xiangxiang. After she and Yi Xiangxiang experienced countless times of "sharing hardships and hardships" together, she even had a heart to protect the calf of this eighth sister, because she heard Xiao Ling'er and Hu Xuehui's fighting method but implicated Yi Xiangxiang, and there was no reason to let it.
In fact, Yi Xiangxiang also felt that her relationship with Yi Ruofu had changed a little unexpectedly, but she didn't expect that people who didn't treat each other would suddenly become sisters who didn't talk about each other one day. She sometimes thinks Yi Ruofu is quite pitiful, as the second daughter of the second room, she is not as smart as the eldest daughter Yi Ruonan and trusted by her mother, and she is not like her brother Yi Hanchen who is expected to have high hopes, she is always the one who is ignored. In fact, Yi Ruofu's previous surname was domineering and loved to bluff, but they just wanted to attract the attention and attention of others. When Yi Xiangxiang and her first started getting along, they felt that this little girl was quite lonely, so she was willing to let her often talk and have fun with herself in Yongle Ju.
"Hmph, she is originally talented and virtuous, did I say it wrong!" Xiao Ling'er was a little afraid of Yi Ruofu, who was angry, but she didn't want to bow her head easily, so she could only stiffen her mouth.
"I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" Yi Ruofu said that she was about to pounce and hit Xiao Ling'er, but before Yi Xiangxiang could stop her, Yi Ruofu was stopped by Yi Ruonan, who had just come to the door.
Yi Ruonan grabbed Yi Ruofu's arm and said, "Fifth sister! It's just a matter of messing around with your surname at home, why are you still so ignorant of restraint in the academy! When I turn around, I will show my mother, and she will punish you for three days of confinement! ”
Yi Ruofu was very unhappy with her big sister's indiscriminate approach of giving a lecture, but she was not afraid of Yi Ruonan's complaint, only to see her break free of Yi Ruonan suddenly, and quickly rushed over and slapped Xiao Ling'er.
The incident happened between lightning and flint, and the daughters present were stunned, they really didn't expect Yi Ruofu to rush over after Yi Ruonan stopped her, and they didn't expect that she really dared to clean up Xiao Ling'er. The school was silent for a while, but some people were secretly happy, this Xiao Ling'er had always bullied the weak by relying on herself to be Jiang Jingshan's sister, and at this moment, a palm print appeared on her white face, and most people were happy in their hearts.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't care what others thought, she knew that when she returned home in the evening, she and Yi Ruofu would kneel in the ancestral hall! I silently wailed in my heart and said, my fifth sister! I thank you for being so righteous! But can you stop doing it next time!
Yi Ruonan saw that Yi Ruofu completely ignored her words, and her eyes were so angry that her eyes were on fire: "Yi Ruofu! I'm your sister! You have disobeyed me! ”
"Humph! The eighth sister is still our sister, you don't know how to defend your sisters, what's wrong with disobeying you? And the two of you, who are also sisters, do you just watch the drama when you watch your sister being bullied? Yi Ruofu said angrily.
Yi Ruofu has become more and more displeased with this sister since she heard with her own ears a few years ago that her sister pushed the Su family, causing the latter to have a miscarriage but still refused to admit it. And the "two of you" refers to Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan standing aside, these two girls in identical pink dresses stood aside, and secretly smiled.
The two sisters, Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan, were snickering and biting their ears, secretly scolding that Yi Ruofu hit Xiao Ling'er is simply "a dog biting a dog's hair", this abruptly being embarrassed by Yi Ruofu, and she didn't even have time to put away her smile.
However, Yi Ruofan is still relatively smart, so she hurriedly said: "Fifth sister, where is this, this big sister is here, let's listen to the big sister!" One sentence implied that Yi Ruofu did not respect her sister-in-law, and picked up the two of herself.
Yi Ruofu has always disdained to talk to this boring concubine, but just now she was angry and pulled them away, and she didn't want to deal with them at this time. And she didn't want to show their sisters' discord too much in front of outsiders, so she returned to her seat and sat down after she beat Xiao Ling'er and got angry. But Yi Ruonan was comforting Xiao Ling'er here, and ignored the two sisters, Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan, which made them even more embarrassed.
Yi Ruonan has always wanted to be friendly with Jiang Jingshan, and Xiao Ling'er is the best link, because she stopped Yi Ruofu just now.
"Ling'er, I'm sorry, my fifth sister has been stubborn since she was a child, you must not be like her." As he spoke, he was about to pull Xiao Ling'er's hand.
Xiao Ling'er shook off Yi Ruonan's hand and said, "Don't let you pretend!" You're not good people! Hum! Your Yi family is just an outsider, how can you compare to my Jiang family! We'll see! I'm going to make it impossible for you to eat and walk around! ”
Yi Xiangxiang was speechless when she said something, and secretly sighed why these ancients were so confident!
"Ling'er! Don't be rude! As soon as Xiao Ling'er finished shouting, the topic character Jiang Jingshan appeared at the door of the school, she was wearing an orange long skirt, the skirt was printed with layers of sunset, and her chest was wrapped in brocade of the same color, standing there like a twilight picture. Yi Xiangxiang looked at Jiang Jingshan's beautiful appearance, her gestures were as graceful as the wind blowing willows, and she thought to herself that it was no wonder that she was called the first beauty in Tongzhou.
Hu Xuehui's beauty is charming, Yi Ruonan's beauty is gorgeous, and Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan's beauty are delicate...... And this Jiang Jingshan's beauty is charming and glamorous, glamorous and pink, pink and soft! Jiang Jingshan is not only outstanding, she is also the daughter of the Jiang family, her grandfather is Jiang Chuanhong, the former governor of Tongzhou, and her father is Jiang Chengshen, the former governor of Lezhou, and now she has been transferred to Kyoto as a member of the Ministry of Rites. Although this foreigner is still from the fifth grade, he is already a serious Beijing official! If you talk about this in detail, although Yi Xihu is at the same level as Jiang Chengshen, the Beijing official himself is higher than the local official, and Yi Xihu's position is not as good as Jiang Chengshen's. Moreover, this Jiang Jingshan's aunt is the Marquis of Changping in Kyoto, and the glory of the family naturally makes her a real famous lady! Such a woman with a good family background, good looks, and outstanding literary talent is naturally popular with everyone in Tongzhou City.
"Cousin, you're finally here! If you don't come, I'll be bullied to death by them! Xiao Ling'er said and asked Jiang Jingshan to look at her face.
Jiang Jingshan looked at the marks on Xiao Linger's face, and asked sharply, "Who did it?" ”
Yi Xiangxiang pressed Yi Ruofu, who wanted to speak, she stood up and said, "Miss Ben did it!" "A few words are very arrogant and domineering, and there is a tone that if you dare to come over, I will beat you!
Yi Xiangxiang is wearing a peony soft cigarette skirt with a waist bundle, covered with a light-colored plum blossom cicada wing yarn, a milky white jade bracelet on her wrist, and three thousand green silk are simply pulled up with a green bamboo hosta; Although everyone looked at her as not as gorgeous as Jiang Jingshan, her ethereal arrogance was more dazzling than the latter.
"It turned out to be Miss Yi, I don't know what Ling'er did wrong? Unexpectedly provoked Miss Yi to be so heavy-handed? Jiang Jingshan looked at the faces of the people around her and knew that maybe it was not Yi Xiangxiang who really did it, but Yi Xiangxiang took care of it herself, so she naturally wanted to target her.
"Miss Jiang, you are the granddaughter of Lord Jiang Chuanhong, and you are a well-known knowledgeable person, I don't want to embarrass you! It's just that your cousin has nothing to do with Master Jiang, so she dares to rely on the Jiang family's power to accuse me of being talentless and virtuous, forget it! actually said that we would not be able to eat and walk around our Yi family! Although my father has not made an extraordinary contribution to Tongzhou like Lord Jiang, he has done his best as an official over the years, and how can he suffer such humiliation as a dignified court official? Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile, although her voice was not loud, but it was a heart-wrenching word.
Xiao Linger is the daughter of Jiang Jingshan's aunt, and her parents died young. Her aunt, Jiang Jingshan's mother, Zhu couldn't bear Xiao Ling'er to be alone in the Xiao family, so she took her to raise her since she was a child. Although Xiao Linger also called Jiang Chuanhong's grandfather with Jiang Jingshan, she actually had nothing to do with Jiang Chuanhong.
The implicit meaning in Yi Xiangxiang's words is very simple, not to mention Yi Xixi's contribution to the official, if your Jiang family is so powerful that even a relative dares to say that the court officials can't eat and walk around, then wouldn't they even pay attention to the saint in time? Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to quarrel with these young ladies, but this Xiao Ling'er directly slapped the Yi family in the face, and if she didn't fight back, it would seem that the Yi family was weak and bullied! That's why he put such a big hat on the Jiang family.
Jiang Jingshan heard the deep meaning of Yi Xiangxiang's words, and her heart was slightly shocked! Knowing that if my cousin is open-mouthed, if she doesn't get it right, she will get into big trouble for the Jiang family! She also heard from Yi Xiangxiang's words that her cousin provoked others first, and now her side is also at a disadvantage, so she can only hurriedly say: "Sister Xiangxiang, where is this, Ling'er, she is still young, don't have a relationship with her." The mother of the previous son also said that she invited Mrs. Yi to come over to enjoy the flowers, and I will also invite Sister Xiangxiang here. ”
From "Miss Yi" to "Sister Xiangxiang", Jiang Jingshan's face changed as fast as singing, and the smart people present also saw her softness.
However, Jiang Jingshan did not feel annoyed after losing her self-esteem, not to mention that Yi Xiangxiang is now reasonable, as far as she Jiang Jingshan herself usually cherishes her feathers the most, it is better to be able to bend and stretch a little more than to be said to be unreasonable and cause trouble to the family. She just opened her mouth to blame just to show her sister's heart, and now she knows that it is her cousin's fault, so she naturally wants to show her reasonable and generous side; At the same time, she said that her mother invited Yi Xiangxiang's mother to enjoy the flowers, which implied that she said to Yi Xiangxiang that the little entanglement of our juniors should not make the relationship between the elders embarrassing.
But Yi Xiangxiang didn't care about Jiang Jingshan's extraneous meaning, not to mention whether the invitation was a temporary excuse for the other party, even if it was really invited, she didn't care. Jiang Chengshen left his wife in Tongzhou, but he served as an official in Kyoto, which shows that he is not satisfied with his wife. Yi Xiangxiang once sent someone to inquire, although this Jiang Chengshen is also a fair and honest person, and the official is also honest and honest, but he has a childhood sweetheart, and he was plotted by the Zhu family to marry Zhu as his wife. So within two years, Jiang Chengshen thought of carrying Qingmei into the house, and it was this aunt who is now accompanying her in Kyoto. Yi Xiangxiang was still thinking that if she wanted to confront the Jiang family in the future, she would hand over the evidence of Jiang Chengshen's concubine and killing his wife to those officials in Kyoto, then it would be enough for the Jiang family to drink a pot at that time.
"Okay, since you were wrong, apologize to me!" Yi Xiangxiang touched her slender jade finger and said.
Jiang Jingshan couldn't, so she could only ask Xiao Ling'er to apologize to Yi Xiangxiang. In fact, Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted her to apologize to Hu Xuehui, although the latter had no friendship with her, but after all, Hu Xuehui was the daughter of Zhu Qianqian's uncle and Zhu Qianqian's cousin. This Zhu Qianqian's father Zhu Yulin and her father Yi Xihu are brothers who worship the son, so these inextricably linked links should also be maintained by Hu Xuehui. But Yi Xiangxiang thought that if she made a move, this Hu Xuehui would definitely be on her side in the future, and when Xiao Linger couldn't deal with her, she would just keep taking Hu Xuehui under the knife, so she didn't pull Hu Xuehui in again.
Of course, Yi Xiangxiang didn't help Hu Xuehui, but Yi Ruofu was still very sympathetic; She asked the maid to give Hu Xuehui a set of clothes to make a change of clothes, and asked her to go next door to change clothes for a while.
Xiao Linger knew that she was in trouble, so she apologized very obediently, so the classroom turmoil passed. However, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu were still unlucky, they returned to Yi Mansion in the evening, and the two of them were called away by the old lady of Ci'an Hall.
It turned out that Yi Ruonan came back to sue as soon as she went to school, she was confronted by Yi Ruofu today, and was ignored by Jiang Jingshan, not to mention how angry she was, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to let Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu be punished. Although this Yi Ruofu is her sister-in-law, she feels that the other party doesn't treat her as a sister, so she naturally doesn't have to care about sisterhood.
Yi Ruonan didn't think about it at all, because she didn't set an example for her sister, so she didn't receive her sister's respect.
Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu walked into Ci'an Hall and saw Mrs. Yi sitting at the top and Yi Ruonan sitting at the bottom of her, Yi Xiangxiang immediately pulled Yi Ruofu to kneel down and said: "Grandmother, the granddaughters know their mistakes and promise not to do it again in the future." ”
Mo Shi looked at his granddaughter and laughed in his heart, but his face was not obvious: "I know how to bully people at a young age, and I will be able to pay it back in the future!" ”
"Grandmother! It's not our fault at all! And it's my hand, and it has nothing to do with the eighth sister! Yi Ruofu hurriedly said after hearing Mo's words.
Yi Xiangxiang secretly supported her forehead, she was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates! So the result was very much Yi Ruonan's heart, because of Yi Ruofu's refusal to admit her mistake, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu were punished to kneel in Ci'an Hall.
Yi Xiangxiang felt that Yi Ruofu was simply her nemesis, the last time Yi Ruonan hinted that she wanted Yi Xiangxiang's green jade bamboo hairpin, Yi Xiangxiang didn't give it, Yi Ruonan spoke aggressively, Yi Ruofu pushed Yi Ruonan with a big heart to protect the calf, so Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu were punished.
And last time, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu drank longan soup in Yongle Ju, Yi Ruonan ran over and cried and said that he was not entertained, forcing Yi Ruofu to splash the soup directly on Yi Ruonan, and as a result, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu were punished.
After all this, Yi Xiangxiang is really going to be made a nervous breakdown by Yi Ruofu, thinking that she used to win all battles against Yi Ruonan, but since Yi Ruofu stood aside with her, being punished and kneeling at both ends in three days is almost commonplace.
Yi Xiangxiang saw that only she and Yi Ruofu were left in the main hall of Ci'an Hall at this time, so she got up from the kneeling futon and took a plate of golden silk dates to share with Yi Ruofu.
"Don't kneel, eat something, I'm starving!" Yi Xiangxiang said to Yi Ruofu.
Yi Ruofu no longer knelt, but sat on the futon with Yi Xiangxiang and chatted: "Big sister is so upside down black and white, I will definitely catch her next time!" ”
Yi Xiangxiang wailed when she heard this: "Don't don't, don't, don't!" You and your sister are really not the same number of paragraphs, you better save some effort! ”
"Eighth sister! How can you grow up others and destroy your own prestige! ”
"I'm here to make you see the facts! It's all out of a mother's womb, why are you pig's brain! ......”
“......”
In Ci'an Hall, the two little girls were eating golden silk dates, and as they spoke, they began to discuss how to trap the person who punished them for kneeling!
"When the time comes, I'll push her into the lake and let the maid save her, make her a big ugly!" Yi Ruofu said indignantly.
Yi Xiangxiang said yes again and again, because she knew that Yi Ruofu was just addicted. This guy has always been a giant in words and a short man in action, she knows that Yi Ruofu still regards Yi Ruonan as her sister to some extent, and she is usually just irrational after being provoked, if she really wants to design Yi Ruonan, she will never be able to do it.
However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect that even if they didn't make a move, Yi Ruonan would fall into the lake.
