Chapter 282: Touting (Four Changes)
Just when Xiao Xia and Zimei bit their ears, the protagonist of today's chrysanthemum banquet finally arrived. As the host, Song Taishou walked into the pavilion with Mrs. Taishou and her children with a grand pomp. There were also quite a few accompanying officials and wives.
Song Taishou took his son and others to entertain the male guests and walked to the Fengwei Pavilion, and Mrs. Taishou took her daughters and other ladies to entertain the female guests and walked into the Qihuang Pavilion.
Mrs. Taishou looks like a woman with an extraordinary temperament and a very scheming heart, under the graceful and luxurious dress is a prosperous beauty, Xiao Xia finally knows whose beauty Song Baiyi inherited.
To the right of Mrs. Taishou, there was also a girl, the same age as Song Baiyi, wearing a peach-pink Luo skirt, with a graceful posture and a thin waist of willows. The small face is white, slightly powdered, the light eyebrows are swept, and the red lips are sandy, a typical beauty. It's a pity that there is a bit of cowardice between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes her lose the brilliance that a girl should have.
But judging from the clothes, she should also be the lady of the Song Mansion.
It is conceivable that the Song Mansion already has a very outstanding Song Baiyi, so the other young ladies must have a hard time.
Mrs. Taishou finished speaking, and the chrysanthemum feast finally began.
Listening to Shen Zisheng's introduction, the chrysanthemum banquet is divided into three parts. The first is the game session, which is for the young lady and the sons to have fun separately. The second link must be an indispensable talent competition, which is the best opportunity for the young lady to show her talents. The last link is free activities, enjoy chrysanthemums everywhere, and then you want to do something touching, and the opportunity has arrived.
In the past few years, the chrysanthemum banquet is almost a stepping stone to achieve Song Baiyi's good reputation, and in the annual talent competition, Song Baiyi is the leader, and countless men have expressed their appreciation to her, and gradually she has the title of the first beauty in Zezhou.
This year will be no exception!
Song Baiyi smiled confidently and stood up.
"In previous years, we played a game of riddles, and I guess the girls are tired of it. Mother, why don't you change it this year? How about playing drumming and passing flowers? ”
Mrs. Taishou is Song Baiyi's biological enemy, so naturally everything will depend on her.
"Okay, you young people have the final say, we're just here to see the excitement." Mrs. Taishou looked at her woman lovingly and proudly, and raised her glass to toast the ladies.
"If anyone's son can marry Miss Song, it will be a blessing for several generations, but it's a pity, my youngest son is too young, otherwise, it will level the threshold of your too guarded mansion, and I will have to marry Baiyi to be my daughter-in-law."
"Our white clothes are not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also not inferior to men, our good men in Zezhou don't like it except for the one with eye problems?"
Several ladies on the throne praised Song Baiyi as if it was difficult to find in heaven and on earth, and Song Baiyi always maintained a smile that was not arrogant or impatient, and accepted the praise of the ladies generously and decently without changing his face.
"It's only when you're blind that you see her!"
"Be quiet."
"Afraid of what? A group of sycophants, every year is these ladies, every year is also these words, why doesn't she dare to invite my mother? ”
"Shhhh I beg you, be quiet. Cui Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped Gao Yuanyuan's growing voice, and many girls sitting close to them had already noticed them.
The Xiao Xia sisters happened to be sitting behind them, and these words were heard clearly.
"This year, I also prepared a lottery for the girls." Mrs. Taishou had enough of the praise for her daughter all around, and then she spoke again, and asked the maid behind her to bring a tray covered with a red cloth.
As soon as the red cloth was removed, a jade rouge box was covered underneath.
"Young girls love beauty, this box of rouge was rewarded in the imperial city this year, and Tang Guifei is using Yurong pearl cream. Today's winning girl, this box of rouge is the color head. ”
As soon as they heard that it was Yurong pearl ointment, everyone present, including those elderly women, was moved.
That's the imperial city holy product that Tang Guifei is using! What woman doesn't love beauty? I heard that as long as you use a box of this Yurong pearl cream, your skin can be ten years younger, although it may be a bit exaggerated, even if it is a rumor, all women want to give it a try, after all, it is something that the first beauty in the world uses.
"Mother, why don't I know you have such a good thing?" Song Baiyi's image to outsiders has always been an iceberg cold beauty, but today she is no worse than a squeamish woman, with red lips like peach petals, and a very clever nose, which is delicate.
"Mother knows that you don't usually like to dress up, and you never use rouge, and you are not interested in telling you, you know that you hide in the study and read books all day long, and you will become a nerd after being careful, and you can't get married!" Mrs. Taishou cocked her middle finger and gently tapped her daughter's forehead.
Song Baiyi sighed, and sat back to the side unconvinced.
"How can Miss Song compare with ordinary ladies, our girl can embroider and recognize a few words, not just be blind. How can you be as smart as Miss Song! ”
"That's right! Miss Song is naturally beautiful, and she is still the first beauty in our Zezhou without rouge. ”
The chrysanthemum banquet has just begun, and this scene has almost become Song Baiyi's personal commendation meeting.
Shen Xiaoxia sat down and regretted it a little, the delicious pastry he had just eaten almost vomited at this time.
It's disgusting.
Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting in front, would have slapped the table if Cui Xiaoxiao hadn't stopped him.
"I won't come, my mother will let me come. What else do you say about not using rouge, liaring ghosts! Who pushed me into the lake last time because of a box of rouge? If I hadn't been able to swim, I would have drowned. ”
"Say less! It's been so long since this happened, no one will believe it. ”
"It's good for you to talk, why is the marriage you got married since you were a child, don't you remember? It's not all her fault. ”
Cui Xiaoxiao's sad thing was mentioned, and her already pale face was even more ugly.
"Let's get started! The phoenix tail pavilion has already begun. Song Baiyi was sitting on the main seat facing the Fengwei Pavilion, while the other girls were sitting with their backs to the Fengwei Pavilion and sitting in the guest seats.
"Let's not praise the white clothes! No matter how much you praise her, she will float up to the sky. As soon as Mrs. Taishou spoke, everyone sitting in front of her echoed her.
Song Baiyi heard enough of the good words, and enjoyed the jealous eyes of the girls sitting below, so she got up, pulled up the girl in the peach-pink dress who had been sitting beside her silently, and walked to the guest seat.
"Sister, please be seated."
The girl in peach pink clothes quickly lowered her head and returned the salute respectfully.
"Or sister, please sit down first."
Song Baiyi sat down at this time, and then the girl in peach and pink clothes sat beside her.
"How does Madame Shou teach her children? It is long overdue to teach us how loving and deferential our sisters are, which is really enviable. ”
When Mrs. Taishou heard this, she pinched her handkerchief and covered her nose, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Where is there any way?" It's just that a bowl of water is flat, there is no difference between enemies and concubines in the Song family, and the sisters in the family naturally have no contradictions. ”
