Chapter 2 Jujube Shengguizi
Meng Shizi's posture of drawing the bow still looks like that, he should have touched it before, not a pure layman.
Of course, the little brother said that they have nothing to do when they are idle, and learning more things is nothing more than window dressing. Of course, his original words were not so good, and he collectively called these children of the remnants of the former dynasty "family dogs". This nickname is not very polite, but I heard that the other party mentioned that these upstarts are also mud legs and dirt buns, and they look down on each other.
With a "whoosh", the first arrow shot out diagonally, and the ceremonial officer who served as the master of ceremonies on the side said loudly: "One shot at the sky, the heavens are destined for good fateββ"
"Two shots, two shots, two pairsβ"
Liu Yan forgot to inhale when he opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to put it down with his heart.
It wasn't until the third arrow hit the sedan curtain that she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's still the same thing that cums.
She tilted her head and whispered, "He must have practiced early." β
Gui Yuan also agreed with this in his heart, but he had to persuade him: "The princess is quiet, people will hear it." β
"Hear it, hear it......"
Having said that, Liu Yan still closed his mouth tightly. She is at ease when she laughs at this sick brother-in-law, but if people laugh at the eldest sister because of this, it won't be possible.
The celebrant shouted at the top of his voice: "Please ask the bride to get off the sedan chair." β
Gui Yuan was like a great enemy, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover Liu Yan's ears and block herself in front of her.
The sound of firecrackers sounded overhead, and the people who were close to the door were all shocked and covered their ears and hurriedly avoided to the side.
Liu Yan squinted and shrank his head to hide, this firecracker was extraordinarily long, and the green smoke of the firecracker explosion was filled with outside the door of the princess's mansion.
"Huh?"
Gui Yuan noticed her voice, for fear that some cannon paper would burst into her face, and looked down to see that it was okay.
After the firecrackers were over, everyone's ears were still buzzing. Gui Yuan and the other palace maids escorted Liu Yan inside, and asked, "Princess, what happened just now?" β
Liu Yan turned his head to look outside, it was crowded, and the newcomer had already gotten out of the sedan chair and stepped across the brazier, so he couldn't see anything clearly.
"It's fine."
I glanced at it in a hurry just now, and I couldn't see it clearly, most of it was because I was dazzled and misunderstood.
She caught a glimpse of a face in the crowd just now, and it looked a little like the second child of the Tian family, Tian Lin, the second son of An Huaihou.
is also a fiancΓ© who was previously engaged to his big sister.
But this man died last fall, from a landslide. The death was so miserable that there was not even a corpse, and I heard that the arms, legs, and head were all picked up from the rubble pile.
On such a happy day today, Liu Yan didn't want to think about that unhappy thing anymore, and he didn't want to mention it to others.
Gui Yuan and his party escorted Liu Yan inside, and saw from a distance that Princess Fuyu's palace maid Huang Lian was squeezing out against the direction of the crowd.
Liu Yan is close to Princess Fuyu, so the relationship between the two palace maids is also good. Speaking of Huanglian, there is a joke, after Princess Fuyu changed the name of the palace maid next to her, someone rushed to call Huanglian Aunt Huang, Huanglian couldn't help but explain again and again, his real surname is Wu, not Huang, and by the way, he also explained for his good sister Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi's surname is Wang, don't call her Aunt Bai. Explanation is explanation, most people don't know that the titles of Aunt Huang and Aunt Bai are still called.
She didn't go to accompany Princess Fuyu at this time, why did she go out instead?
Before the auspicious time of the worship hall arrived, Princess Fuyu went to the east wing room to rest first, Liu Yan guessed that the eldest sister would hurry up to wipe her sweat and drink water at this time, if she hadn't waited to visit the church, she might even be able to change her clothes together.
Bai Zhi led the two little palace maids to guard the door of the wing room, and when she saw Liu Yan, she hurriedly curtsied: "Fourth princess." β
"Big sister in the house?" The doors and windows are closed so tightly, don't you feel too bored?
Most of them wipe sweat and makeup in the house, afraid of being seen.
Bai Zhi didn't open the door to invite Liu Yan in as soon as possible, but looked at her a little nervously: "Our master wants to rest for a while, and the fourth prince will not ......."
Liu Yan stopped smiling and looked at her.
Bai Zhi screamed bitterly in her stomach. If someone else comes, even if it is a prospective horse, Bai Zhi can block it all, and she doesn't even need to give a reason, but the fourth princess is the exception. She was sweating profusely under Liu Yan's forced gaze, and had to tell the truth: "The princess is not in the house." β
"Where did you go?"
Bai Zhi was about to cry: "The slave really doesn't know." Just now Huang Lian came in from outside and said a few words to the princess, but the slave didn't hear what she said. The princess told me to stay here, and she went out with Coptis Chinensis. β
Today is the day when the eldest sister gets married, and there is an auspicious time to visit the church in a quarter of an hour. Do you have to hide it from people so secretly?
Liu Yan entered the room, there were two red silk burdens on the table, and a red silk handkerchief was thrown on the bed. As a result, if you look closely, it's either a silk handkerchief or a big sister's hijab.
Of course, it was inconvenient for her to go out and wear a hijab, but looking at this hijab thrown here, Liu Yan always felt a little weird.
If Gui Yuan wanted to set Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi couldn't tell her even if she knew, not to mention that she really didn't know.
The problem is that Gui Yuan doesn't believe it, she thinks Bai Zhi knows and refuses to say.
Bai Zhi can't trust herself, but Gui Yuan doesn't care. But at the moment, Gui Yuan didn't ask herself, she fought for her own princess, and Bai Zhi didn't know if she asked like this, so it was a bit too much to say.
Liu Yan is not in a hurry. According to her, the eldest sister is wearing that auspicious dress that is thick, and it is inconvenient to move around, and it is very eye-catching, and she can't go far, and she will definitely come back before the auspicious time of worship.
With this idea, she first took out a date from the plate on the table and chewed it, chewed it, and ate it, and then grabbed a handful of peanuts.
There are a few things on the table, as if there is something to say.
Jujubes, sheng, ah yes, and longan lotus seeds, these should be prepared for the bride, but it turned out to be cheaper Liu Yan first.
At the door, Gui Yuan and Bai Zhi heard the sound of rattling in the house, and found that the fourth princess was eating peanuts happily, and the peanut shells had accumulated a small amount of kung fu at this time.
Gui Yuan suddenly forgot to compete with Bai Zhi, and hurried over: "The princess beware of splitting her nails, the slave maid will peel it." β
Liu Yan waved his hand: "I'll peel it myself, you pour me tea." β
This date is big, red and sweet, but it is easy to get thirsty when you eat it.
At the door, Bai Zhi suddenly deliberately raised her voice and said, "Why did the prince come over?" β
Liu Yan and Gui Yuan glanced at each other.
Meng Xu is here?
Through the door, I heard Meng Xu say: "It's hot today, I'm worried that the princess won't be able to stand the heat, so I specially took two pills of Qingxin Cool Pill, this is the secret recipe of the Meng family, and it is very effective." β
Liu Yan probed and asked, "Cool off the pill?" What does it smell like? Is it bitter? β
Meng Xu said with a smile: "Peppermint flavor, bitter taste is also a little bit." β
Liu Yan stretched out his hand: "Then give it to me, I'll give it to my eldest sister." β
Bai Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If she wants to stop Meng Shizi, she can also stop it, and the excuse is also ready-made, where can the newlyweds meet before the church? He said that he couldn't let him in at this door.
But the old saying is right, don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Bai Zhi is now weak in her heart, she always feels that her face is hard and she won't smile, and her voice is also full of weakness, and she always feels that she has been exposed. If it weren't for the fourth princess coming out, she really didn't know how to pick up what to say.
After sending Meng Xu away, Liu Yan pulled the cork from the bottle, and a smell of medicine in the bottle made her sneeze.
Gui Yuan looked left and right outside the door, trying to close the door. Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to hide it, just leave it open." β
Bai Zhi wiped her sweat: "The princess is right, it's okay to have half a door open, which makes people feel strange when they look at it." Anyway, the slaves and maids stay here, and they won't let people into the house. β
Liu Yan saw that she was so worried, but felt funny: "Even if you guard the door strictly, if the eldest sister doesn't come back in a quarter of an hour, this empty city will not be able to sing." β
Gui Yuan saw that Bai Zhi's face was really as white as paper, and he couldn't bear it, so he deliberately interrupted the conversation: "Princess, why did you say that the prince suddenly came over to deliver medicine?" It's hot, and he's not in good health, so it's not possible to send someone to run errands and pass the word? β
"You mean, he found out that his big sister wasn't there?"
Gui Yuan just didn't have anything to say, she really didn't expect what Liu Yan said: "It shouldn't be, right?" β
But she couldn't guarantee that Meng Xu would not have doubts.
Liu Yan frowned: "If he finds something, it won't be good." β
It's okay for others to find out, not to mention the big sister's methods, just talk about Liu Yan herself, and it can also guarantee that they don't dare to confide in half a word.
If Meng Xu finds something in his heart and doesn't say it, what if he and the eldest sister and his wife are not in harmony in the future?
The back window was suddenly opened from the outside, and Princess Fuyu, dressed in a big red auspicious dress, jumped in from the window.
She thought that there was no one in the house, Liu Yan didn't expect that the eldest sister, who was usually so steady, would also climb over the wall and jump out of the window, looking at each other, and the two looked at each other.
Or Princess Fuyu spoke up first: "Why are you here?" β
"I'm afraid you're bored, and I want to come to talk to you."
As a result, people are not bored at all, not to mention how busy they are in and out.
After Princess Fuyu came in, Huang Lian also came back, but she didn't jump out of the window, but came in through the door. Princess Fuyu didn't care about the explanation first, and sat down in front of the dressing mirror, Huang Lian and Bai Zhi stepped forward with their hands and feet, one shook off the cloth to cover the shoulders and placket of Princess Fuyu, and the other quickly opened the makeup box, and dipped the grate in oil for Princess Fuyu to straighten out the somewhat scattered sideburns. Shake off the muslin cloth and wipe the sweaty fat powder on her face, and put it on again. After the head and face were cleaned up, the cloth was lifted, and the two of them bent down together to straighten out the auspicious clothes for Princess Fuyu.
The two of them were well-trained, and Liu Yan couldn't intervene, so he simply picked up the hijab and shook it, ready to cover it again for Princess Fuyu.
After picking it up like this, Princess Fuyu looked the same as just now, and no one could guess that she had sneaked out just now.
