"Presumably this one next to Luo Chuan is the eighth lady of your family?" Zhao Zixiu said a word, let Yi Xiangxiang, who was about to get up, sit down again, and looked at him with a smile.

That's right, it was Zhao Zixiu who was sitting at the top at this time who spoke, he actually saw Yi Xiangxiang just now, but Zhu Qianqian said hello to him after she came, so she had to turn his head and ask Yi Luochuan.

Zhao Zixiu's previous understanding of Yi Xiangxiang was only based on rumors, and he was a label of no talent and no virtue. However, in the past two days, he has been in and out of Yifu a lot of times, but he thinks that these eight young ladies are just relatively low-key. Although it is true that he is not obvious in terms of talent, in his opinion, Yi Luochuan is a solid scholar and intelligent, and his sister should not be a woman with no ink.

In fact, he didn't intend to point her out, but he just saw her whispering with his brother, and he was not satisfied that Yi Luochuan didn't peel oranges for her again, the point was that he wanted to get up and sneak away, but he thought it was extremely interesting, so he deliberately spoke up.

Yi Luochuan bowed: "It's the sister!" ”

In the face of outsiders, Yi Luochuan is accustomed to cherishing words like gold.

Yi Xiangxiang admires her brother's cautiousness, after all, it's wrong to say more!

"The courtiers meet the Fourth Highness!" Yi Xiangxiang pulled the corners of her mouth and got up to salute again, and at the same time scolded Zhao Zixiu in her heart, when she just came in, the sisters had already introduced themselves, okay! However, she was so slanderous in her heart, but her face did not show any impatience.

Zhao Zixiu waved his sleeves and said, "No need to be polite!" Sit down. ”

Yi Xiangxiang sat down with a smile and learned to be a sculpture like her brother.

Zhu Qianqian, who was on the other side, opened her mouth with a smile: "Your Highness, do you think Sister Xiangxiang is a little familiar?" ”

Zhao Zixiu looked at Yi Xiangxiang with special eyes when he heard this, his facial features were not particularly outstanding, he could only be regarded as medium-sized, but his temperament was like an empty valley orchid and like an iceberg snowflake...... Familiar? Those big black eyes are indeed a little familiar.

"Why did Qianqian say this?" Zhao Zixiu said suspiciously.

Eh, it's all called Qianqian! Yi Xiangxiang secretly exchanged glances with Hu Xuehui.

"The little girl in yellow in the hundred-year-old temple mentioned by His Highness before is Sister Xiangxiang." Zhu Qianqian said with a smile and Zhao Zixiu.

Oh? Is it her? Zhao Zixiu was unexpected. A few days ago, on the passenger ship to Tongzhou in the south, when Zhu Qianqian came to greet him, he actually didn't think about it for a while. It wasn't until Zhu Qianqian mentioned the Centennial Temple that he recalled the process of going to seek medicine many years ago, and what impressed him more at that time was the little girl in yellow who was whistling and whistling.

Unexpectedly, the little girl who was bouncing was Yi Xiangxiang, the eighth lady of the Yi family.

Zhao Zixiu rolled up his sleeves and said happily: "I didn't expect to have such a fate, I don't know if Miss Eight still remembers this hall?" ”

What kind of fate, my God, it's just a coincidence, okay!

"Remember to remember, Your Highness is the dragon among the people, and the courtiers are naturally unforgettable!" Yi Xiangxiang lied to her face, after all, she couldn't say that she was completely impressed with Zhao Zixiu, right? She still knows how to judge the situation.

Because everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Zixiu, it was natural that everyone was looking at him and Yi Xiangxiang at this time.

Zhao Zixiu nodded to express his satisfaction with Yi Xiangxiang's answer, and a smile like a spring breeze spread out on his handsome face, only to see him smile and say: "Back then, the main hall passed through the Centennial Temple, and I had a relationship with them. ”

This one naturally refers to Yi Xiangxiang and Zhu Qianqian.

Everyone suddenly realized and said, "I see! ”

For Yi Xiangxiang and Zhu Qianqian's luck, most of the people present were envious, and they were familiar with the prince by chance, and anyone would feel honored. Of course, no one will ask how Zhao Zixiu passed through Centennial County, it should be said that no one has the courage to ask, but someone will definitely ask Yi Xiangxiang, there is no doubt about it.

However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect that Jiang Xuanrui was the first to speak.

"I didn't expect Sister Xiangxiang to still believe in Buddhism? I've never heard you talk about it! Jiang Xuanrui saw that Yi Luochuan no longer peeled the orange for Yi Xiangxiang, but instead peeled it very intimately and handed it to Yi Xiangxiang.

Yi Xiangxiang is very embarrassed! She was too lazy to peel the orange herself, because she felt that the juice on the orange peel was uncomfortable on her hands, so she supported her brother. This brother peels oranges for her because his brother loves his sister, but Jiang Xuanrui is also a foreign man! She looked at the orange flesh sent by Jiang Xuanrui, and she really didn't pick it up.

Fortunately, Yi Luochuan took the orange meat very appropriately and said: "Don't let her eat too much and get angry!" As he spoke, he gave half of the orange flesh to Yi Xiangxiang and ate the remaining half himself.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at the embarrassment and was about to answer Jiang Xuanrui's words, but Zhu Qianqian, who didn't want to be opposite, laughed: "Jiang Gongzi doesn't know, Sister Xiangxiang doesn't like to worship Buddha!" As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Zhao Zixiu and said, "Your Highness, do you know what Sister Xiangxiang did when she went to the back mountain?" ”

"Oh? Not going to play? Zhao Zixiu asked very cooperatively.

Zhu Qianqian said urgently: "She went to the back mountain to pretend to be a mountain spring and went home to make snacks!" ”

A joke made the people around him laugh out loud, and even Yi Luochuan remembered the days when Yi Xiangxiang had to fill a pot of water and take it away every time he went to the hundred-year-old temple, and he laughed unconsciously.

Yi Xiangxiang was speechless, little sister Zhu Qianqian, you are not kind! You attract the attention of the male god, don't make a topic about me!

So Zhao Zixiu, who was also happy, only listened to Yi Xiangxiang and said: "Sister Qianqian, don't make fun of me, I love to eat, that's well known, but if you talk about it, you ate a lot of that dim sum back then!" ”

"Hey, you little girl, you blame me for eating too much, right? Okay, I think, who made your dim sum delicious! Speaking of which, I really miss the days when I lived in Yongle House a few years ago. Zhu Qianqian said.

She was sincere in what she said, although Yi Xiangxiang didn't like to talk at that time, she was also very comfortable and comfortable living in Yongle House.

Zhu Qianqian really misses it, but Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu have numb scalps!

Yi Xiangxiang still remembered that Li Yanping, the young lady of the Li family, wanted to live in Yongle Residence, but was stopped by her and Yi Ruofu under the pretext of entertaining Zhu Qianqian. Now as soon as Zhu Qianqian's words came out, the Li sisters naturally had suspicions on their faces, because from their point of view, Zhu Qianqian was about to live in Yongle Residence, how could they only miss the past?

Well, sure enough, I shouldn't have come to the garden! Yi Xiangxiang looked up at Yi Ruofu and found that the latter was eye-to-eye with herself, and her eyes were still aimed at Li Yanping's direction from time to time, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious!

If you can invite people into Yongle Residence, it is not a difficult thing, Yi Xiangxiang can give Zhu Qianqian some tactful invitations from a different angle, such as "Then when do you decide to come and stay for a few days?" This can also be round in the meaning of the word. But she really can't say that, because now she must not let people live in Yongle Residence! There's a bomb lying in her side room!

Yi Xiangxiang turned around a few times in her mind, and said: "What's so difficult about this, just catch Ming'er's sister to serve some snacks to her sister in Yongleju, and ensure that the taste is exactly the same as before!" But if my sister really wants to eat dim sum, it has to be a dim sum in the joy building that is more delicious, and my sister will take my sister to the joy house to go around! ”

didn't mention the matter of Yongle Residence, but put the topic on the dim sum, Yi Xiangxiang said it very cleverly! She said, "Yongleju offers snacks", from the perspective of the Li sisters, Yi Xiangxiang's words mean that when Zhu Qianqian lives in Yongleju, she will do this. But from Zhu Qianqian's point of view, the focus will naturally shift directly to "go to Xile Building". With this rhetoric, it can be understood differently on both sides. As for the fact that Zhu Qianqian will not live in Yongle Residence in the future, when the time comes, we will discuss it and find an excuse, it is better than being debunked now and not having this agreement!

In addition to the parties Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu, the other young ladies naturally don't understand the twists and turns before and after, and Zhao Zixiu asked even more after hearing the dim sum:

"Sister Xiangxiang still knows how to make dim sum?"

What the heck? Who's your sister? Yi Xiangxiang rolled her eyes inwardly!

Jiang Xuanrui called her like that because she was good friends with Yi Luochuan, and the two families were immediately relatives again, so it was normal to call Sister Xiangxiang.

Zhu Qianqian is also because of the good relationship between the two families, her parents are righteous brothers, and they have known each other since childhood, so it is normal to call Yi Xiangxiang her sister!

But what is Zhao Zixiu's identity, his sister is either a princess or a county lord, doesn't this make Yi Xiangxiang find trouble!

"Courtier, Your Highness Thank You! In fact, it's just Sister Qianqian's joke about the courtiers, where will the courtiers make snacks! It's just that I saw some dim sum recipes in the book, so I copied them and gave them to the chefs in the back kitchen! Yi Xiangxiang said with Zhao Zixiu with a smile.

In her words, the courtiers came and went, and Zhao Zixiu naturally understood the meaning of the words.

In fact, Zhao Zixiu didn't have any malice in calling Yi Xiangxiang his sister just now, but it was indeed a kind of love and promotion as Yi Xiangxiang said! He just heard Jiang Xuanrui and Zhu Qianqian call him like this, so he felt more cordial, but he really didn't think of other problems. Or in his opinion, this is not a big problem, but Yi Xiangxiang abides by the rules of etiquette like this, which surprised him.

How did he know that Yi Xiangxiang was not following the rules, but felt that more things were better than less! If the son of the family calls her sister, forget it, but Zhao Zixiu is the son of the royal family, she doesn't dare to challenge the authority!

"Oh? What books does Xiangxiang like to read on weekdays? Zhao Zixiu was very talkative, and changed his name again.

Yi Xiangxiang sighed secretly in her heart, it's better not to change it! Doesn't it mean that Zhao Zixiu knows how to get along with people? Doesn't it mean that he treats everyone the same with respect? Can't he see that I don't really want to have a relationship with him? Don't you know how to respect my feelings and call me Miss Yi? Yi Xiangxiang once again felt that she really shouldn't have come to the garden!

Eh, poor Zhao Zixiu really didn't find out that Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to deal with him, after all, Tianhuang is noble, and he felt that he was liked by the whole world since he was born!

"It's just a book, it's not a book." Yi Xiangxiang replied briefly.

Zhao Zixiu was still about to ask, but Xiao Ling'er, who was sitting in the women's seat, interjected first: "Your Highness, don't you know, Yi Xiangxiang is the person who loves to read books in women's schools!" Even Mr. Yu couldn't persuade her! ”

I only love to read books, and never read serious books! I didn't even listen to Mr. Yu! This is Xiao Ling'er's unspoken meaning.

Xiao Linger was already a little unhappy when she saw Yi Xiangxiang sitting next to Jiang Xuanrui, and then she saw Jiang Xuanrui peeling oranges for Yi Xiangxiang, and the fire of jealousy was even more blazing! In the past two days, she has been turned away from going to her cousin's yard every day, and even the Yi family's poetry and drinking party this time she came by herself, so she naturally has a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart.

The day of Yi Luochuan's wedding has been set for the beginning of spring, and Jiang Jingshan, like Miss Cui, is embroidering wedding dresses on her own embroidery floor. So Xiao Ling'er originally wanted to follow Jiang Xuanrui to the Yi family, but she didn't want Jiang Xuanrui to wait for her! One by one, she selectively sprinkled her anger on Yi Xiangxiang!

Zhao Zixiu came to Tongzhou to celebrate Mr. Yu's birthday, Xiao Linger said that Yi Xiangxiang didn't even listen to Mr. Yu's words, and it was clear that she wanted Zhao Zixiu to punish her!

However, Yi Xiangxiang was not angry at Xiao Ling'er's deliberate difficulty, firstly, what the other party said was indeed true, and secondly, she felt that Zhao Zixiu would not embarrass her for this kind of embarrassment, but she felt again and again that she should not come to the garden!

However, history is always strikingly similar, Yi Xiangxiang doesn't care, Yi Ruofu is not so easy to speak.

"Miss Xiao deliberately moved out of Mr. Yu to step on my eighth sister, she wants to say that my eighth sister has no talent and no virtue, right? Why bother beating around the bush like this, you just said it directly, do you look at my eighth sister and ignore you? ”

Yi Ruofu sat next to Yi Ruonan and said to Xiao Ling'er below with great disdain. She didn't want to come to this poetry party today, but she heard that there were ten miles of fragrant incense at the banquet, so she came to mix wine and drink.

Zhao Zixiu, who was sitting at the top, didn't expect that this Yi Xiangxiang looked indifferent as a party, but her cousin was furious. Although Yi Ruofu's words were disdainful, the performance of fried hair was very obvious.

Yi Xiangxiang naturally knew that Yi Ruofu was fighting for herself, thinking that the little girl was righteous enough and helpless at the same time, you all know that I don't care anymore, why do you bother to talk like this, Fifth sister, today is in your own home! People are guests!

Now she only hopes that Yi Ruofu will not step forward and slap Xiao Ling'er, otherwise it will be troublesome, there is still a prince sitting in front of her!

Yi Ruofu's words made the scene very embarrassing for a while, and Yi Ruonan, who was a sister, could only play a round game: "Fu'er, don't be rude!" I saw her get up and bow to Xiao Ling'er and say, "I'm sorry Miss Xiao, my fifth sister is really spoiled, forgive me, forgive me!" ”

She confessed with such a smile, and everyone was naturally very cooperative haha.

Last time she had a conflict with Xiao Ling'er in the academy, Yi Ruonan also said something similar, but this time Yi Ruofu gave face and didn't talk back, in fact, she also knew the severity, after all, she was in the garden of their Yi family, and she really had the demeanor of the main family.

I'll clean you up again! Yi Ruofu secretly thought to Xiao Ling'er in her heart.

"It's me who is reckless, it's just that I'm not as good at poetry as my eighth sister, so I'm so excited to refute Miss Xiao!" Yi Ruofu was very obedient and walked down the ladder handed by Yi Ruonan.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to talk to her, but she looked at Yi Ruofu's aggrieved appearance and suddenly had a sense of righteousness, so she said in a timely manner: "Fifth sister, don't be sad, this common saying says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and Miss Xiao is actually envious of us!" Miss Xiao, don't be discouraged, as long as you are on par with our two sisters, you will definitely be as virtuous and respected as us in the future! ”

The four words of high morality and respect, Yi Xiangxiang said sonorously and powerfully!

Everyone present laughed instantly, and even Jiang Xuanrui, who frowned and was dissatisfied with Xiao Ling'er's troublemaking, laughed.

Cheeky with me? I'm afraid you don't dare to play, friend! Yi Xiangxiang said silently in her heart.

Zhao Zixiu also smiled, and he smiled beautifully, and the surrounding daughters were all trembling with his smile.

"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but I don't know why Xiangxiang has such an opinion?" After laughing, Zhao Zixiu looked at Yi Xiangxiang with sparkling eyes.

He found out, just like Yi Ruofu said, Yi Xiangxiang really didn't care about Xiao Ling'er's words. But because of this, he deliberately asked this question, wanting to see how Yi Xiangxiang would explain!

Yi Xiangxiang doesn't feel that Zhao Zi has reconciled at all now, this problem is clearly from the demolition! Not to mention that she is a new woman in the 21st century, even if she sees that this ceremony has opened up a school for women, she doesn't dare to really say that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented"!

This is to see Yi Xiangxiang's jokes to force her to slap her face! Hmph, she dares to say that she is "highly respected", and she is afraid of being slapped in the face?!!

She took a sip of tea and slowly replied: "Your Highness misunderstood, in fact, the courtier was just joking with Miss Xiao just now!" This original saying is: A man is virtuous is talented, and a woman is virtuous if she is not talented! This means that the most important thing for men is virtue, and women are literate and can understand righteousness, and they are virtuous, but if they use literacy to break words, make law dance and even cheat, it is better not to be literate. Women have no talent, they should be there but they don't have it, they have talent in their hearts, but they think of themselves as if they don't have it, which is rare and valuable! ”

Hmph, talk about reasoning? Yi Xiangxiang has 5,000 years of famous sayings and aphorisms from China that can be excerpted and copied, and it is reasonable and well-founded! Zhao Zixiu wants to see her slap in the face, then she will play more excitingly!

Zhao Zixiu laughed out loud when he heard this: "A good man is virtuous, and a woman is virtuous!" Miss Yi is so smart, she must have something but nothing to have! ”

It's over, it's too much! Yi Xiangxiang is confused!

"Your Highness smiled, these words were obtained by the courtiers from turning through the books, not the understanding of the courtiers, but the admiration of His Highness." Yi Xiangxiang hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

"Oh? I don't know who wrote the book? Zhao Zixiu asked.

"Mountain and wild magazines have never been named." Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile, her expression was full of sincerity.

Zhao Zixiu sighed slightly: "That's a pity." ”

Yi Xiangxiang knew that Zhao Zixiu didn't fully believe this statement in his heart, but fortunately, Jiang Xuanrui assisted without knowing it, and only heard Jiang Xuanrui say: "There are many talents in the Li Dynasty, but there are always hidden talents or buried talents, after all, the big waves are sweeping the sand, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to feel a pity." ”

"Xuan Rui is right!" Zhao Zixiu nodded and replied.

The little turmoil passed like this, and Xiao Ling'er also restrained herself after being glared at by Jiang Xuanrui, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the four princes anymore. And in the following time, the poetry and wine party really turned the topic to poetry and wine. Because the person who presided over this poetry and wine party was the noble fourth prince Zhao Zixiu, it was the Yi family who offered a rare ten miles of incense today. After that, Zhao Zixiu asked everyone present to make an analogy with a poem related to wine in the name of Shili Xiang, and selected the best one, and the one who won the first prize could get a reward.

So, after the evening poetry party, Yi Xiangxiang had an extra fox-shaped jade pendant on her waist.
