Chapter 175: Vulgar Woman
On the opposite side of the row were men, and this formation really looked like they were paired. I have to say that compared with the eldest princess, Zhang Yanran only learned one percent. Just these dozen or so male guests with new faces have already lost.
Which of the people present is not a noble girl, if she is with a poor and sour talent who is not famous, I am afraid that Zhang Yanran herself will be implicated at that time. Xia Sihan had a trace of sympathy for her in her heart, and it was a pity that the prince fell in love with her for some reason and married her as a wife.
"Everyone, today's sky is high and refreshing, why don't we carry out a wine order, with chrysanthemums as the theme, how about it?" Zhang Yanran was the first to speak, and everyone agreed.
In front of them, a maid brought wine and refreshments.
Liu Xiyue was not interested, and said softly: "I'm here to see the fun, just have fun with your sisters and sisters." As soon as her voice came out, everyone looked over, and even Xia Sihan was locked by everyone's eyes.
Zhang Yanran smiled generously, "It's okay, you are pregnant, and it is inconvenient for you to participate, so it is better to let Mrs. Li accompany us to play!" ”
Xia Sihan had already guessed that she would say this, and said loudly: "The princess is gracious and hard to refuse, and Sihan must obey." In this way, Zhang Yanran's face smiled even more.
"I'll come first!" The first to speak was that Miss Liu, the Zhongshu Ling family, no, Miss Liu, who has now been relegated to a nobody.
She urgently needs to find a backer to make her rise in this circle of noble women. Although her father was demoted, she climbed up to Zhang Yanran and naturally followed.
"The chrysanthemums in the garden are golden and yellow, and there are lonely bushes in them that are like frost."
Miss Liu looked smug after reading it, and when there was a cheer on the other side, she looked over and saw a slightly chubby man clapping her hands, and couldn't help but sit down in disappointment.
Xia Sihan snickered in his heart, raised his head and looked around, but he was afraid that there would not be many people who could make Miss Liu look at her.
"Xia Yingxue is here!" Liu Xiyue suddenly patted her arm and motioned her to look over, Xia Sihan turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Xia Yingxue coming.
The shelves of the three princesses are quite large.
"The third princess is late, so she should be punished with three glasses of wine."
I don't know who shouted, Xia Yingxue smiled skillfully, straightened her back and walked over, sat directly beside Zhang Yanran, and said generously: "This can't stand it, why don't I let someone perform atonement for me on my behalf?" ”
Her words made her interested, but there were still people who hadn't forgotten Xia Sihan's existence.
"The three princesses are slow, it's not too late for us to watch the performance later, but this wine order still has to be done, and it's not too late for us to enjoy the performance when the three princesses arrive."
"Yes, the third princess used to be a talented woman in Beijing, I don't know if she is also the daughter of Shangshu, what is Mrs. Li's talent?" As soon as the man's words turned around, he pointed the finger at Xia Sihan, and Xia Sihan guessed that it would be like this.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she replied lightly: "The little woman is not as good as the third princess, and she can't talk about talent, but she just knows a few words." ”
"My sister is too modest, my father often says that my sister is frugal and gentle, and she marries her brother-in-law in Li Mansion and rises all the way, which is all the credit of my sister, and now my sister makes a poem, so that they all know, sister, you are not only an expert in making money, but also a model for us to learn."
Xia Yingxue's gentle voice couldn't hear the slightest smell of gunpowder, but it was pressing step by step, so that she couldn't refuse. Xia Sihan is not a vulgar woman with no ink on her chest, knowing that she laughs at herself as a businessman, a chill swells in her heart. Liu Xiyue on the side was just about to hug upset, but Xia Sihan held her hand.
She looked at Xia Sihan's eyes in surprise, and the latter's eyes were full of confidence.
"Why don't I come first, and then Mrs. Li will pick it up, I just thought of a song." A voice appeared in the crowd, Xia Sihan looked over, it was the man again, I don't know why he helped him.
The man pondered for a moment, and then said: "The lone orchid grows in a secluded garden, the grass is gone, the frost is early, and the green is afraid to rest." ”
"Brother Li is really talented and quick-witted, and he really deserves to be the first genius in Kyoto."
"Yes, Brother Li, I admire you!" Others praised him, Xia Sihan looked at the man on the other side, and saw that he was very modest and not arrogant.
"It's your turn, Mrs. Li!"
Someone reminded her that Xia Sihan glanced at the person who spoke, and said disdainfully: "The little woman is vulgar, I'm afraid she can't compare to Li Gongzi, please don't laugh at it." ”
She took a deep breath and read: "Autumn is not with Baihuayan, lose weight and clear the cold into Chutian, drink fragrant tea outside Yurun, and sleep in frost and wine." ”
Xia Sihan was silent in the audience, and Liu Xiyue was the first to react and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li will not only make money, but also be a good writer, it seems that she is really an example for us to learn!" ”
Xia Yingxue's silver teeth were secretly bitten, her face was unwilling, but she still squeezed out a smile and praised.
"My sister is brilliant, my sister is ashamed, come, I will toast you." Xia Yingxue raised her glass and drank it all, and the wine glass turned down to signal that she had finished drinking.
Xia Sihan chuckled and said lightly: "How can you compare to your sister, you have been taught by your father since you were a child, and the name of the first talented woman in the capital is not for nothing." ”
She raised her glass and took a sip and sat down, ignoring Xia Yingxue's pale face. Everyone understood the sarcasm in Xia Sihan's words, and they also knew the entanglement between the daughters of the Xia family.
Everyone knows what Xia Yingxue's behavior is, and now when they hear Xia Sihan sarcastically mocking her, everyone can't help laughing. However, she is the third princess in the end, and she can't be offended easily.
Zhang Yanran played a round on the side and said: "Mrs. Li is indeed a leader, our wine order has not yet ended, do you want to continue, or do you want to see the performance of the three princesses?" ”
"Naturally, it's a performance, and the wine order can be done at any time, but the performance can't be seen all the time."
"Yes, the third princess, I don't know who is performing today?"
Xia Yingxue finally regained a little face, and said proudly: "Naturally, it's the red silk girl from Yaji in Beijing, please move to the water pavilion in front, the red silk girl has been preparing for a long time." ”
"The red silk girl is both beautiful and artistic, and a song of red Zhao wishes resounded in the capital back then, I don't know what masterpieces there are today."
"Just listen to it! Hurry up, you won't have a good spot if you're late! Everyone wanted to see it, Liu Xiyue wanted to go because he drank too much tea, so Xia Sihan took a step late and waited for him. It's nothing so far that this poem will be carried out, it seems that she is too careful.
But do Xia Yingxue and Zhang Yanran just want to make a fool of themselves here? It should be more than that.
"Young lady, they are all gone, why don't you go and take a good place for you?"
Xiuzhu volunteered on the side, Xia Sihan wanted to refuse, but seeing that her eyes were full of expectation, she agreed. Seeing her nodding, Xiuzhu was overjoyed, and a fine light flashed in her eyes was seen by Xia Sihan. It seems that it is too early for me to relax, and the good show is still to come.
