Chapter 3: The Tiger Girl
Twenty years later, the capital of Wu was Yecheng
In a simple but not luxurious courtyard, a girl wearing a blue riding costume and a high ponytail on her head is on a rockery, a big tree, and a lake...... Flying around with a light body and a graceful posture, this light skill can be regarded as superior. Because this girl walked so fast, it was like taking off in the air, not touching the dust, and because she was so fast, she could barely see her appearance. At this time, a round-faced girl dressed as a first-class maid came in from the corner door, and shouted to the former: "Third Miss, come down quickly, my aunt has been looking for you for a long time, and if you can't find it again, I will punish you for copying Buddhist scriptures." ”
The girl in riding clothes is flying freely in the garden, and when she heard it, she was stunned and fell down from the rockery, face down, a dog eating, the maid was frightened, and hurriedly went over to mix her up, the girl in riding clothes fell not lightly, her body hurt, and she raised her head with difficulty for a long time, who knew that her face was full of nosebleeds, and the girl did not know whether she was alive or dead and made a grimace, this scene looked really terrifying, only to see the round-faced maid fall to the ground, and fainted in fright.
The name of this girl in riding clothes is Yan Yue, the word is Xianchen, and she is fifteen years old. She is the concubine of Yan Yujing, the general of Wu Guo, and ranks third in the family. Although it is not a natural fragrance, it is pure and lovely, with skin as white as jade, a pair of inner eyes, a high nose and a small mouth, and a melon seed face. In the state of Wu, which advocates the rule of culture, but he doesn't like the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting at all, he is keen on swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and he is stubborn by nature.
It was her personal maid Xiao Yu'er who came to call Xian Chen, Xiao Yu'er's family name was Jin, Xian Chen said that it was not the gold of the goldfish, and she was called Xiao Yu'er when she came and went. Xiao Yu'er was already frightened, and although Xian Chen's whole body was sore, she had to stand up and carry her away. It's really self-inflicted, and you can't live.
Xian Chen carried Xiao Yu'er out of the corner gate with difficulty, and gave Xiao Yu'er to a big-shouldered and round-waisted mother-in-law on the second gate, ignoring the blood stains on his face and everyone's surprised eyes, and hurriedly ran to a courtyard. This courtyard is called "Jingyuan", in the southwest corner of the general's mansion in a relatively remote place, the courtyard is small and beautiful, the courtyard is full of pear blossoms of Shengxue, the pear blossoms are fluttering in the wind, beautiful.
A discordant voice suddenly sounded, "Bang! "Someone kicked the door open." Mother, I'm coming, I'm coming," Xianchen shouted.
"What kind of system is it to make a loud noise?" This voice is like a heavenly sound, and the person who said this is even more incredible, like a fairy in the clouds. Although he is middle-aged, he is still graceful and luxurious, and he is beautiful and beautiful. The body is plump, the skin is delicate, there is no trace of time, the eyes are bright like stars, and the lips are red like coral. This woman turned out to be Xian Chen's mother, General Yan's only concubine - Jiang Weiqing.
Xian Chen ran forward and hugged Aunt Jiang and said, "Mother, I'm here, don't punish me for copying Buddhist scriptures, you can kneel for a day." ”
Aunt Jiang took a closer look at this naughty daughter, her face was covered with blood, most of it had been dried, and her clothes were full of dirt. Distressed and annoyed, he said, "Where is the injury?" Hurry up and show the mother" and carefully examined it.
Xianchen: "My daughter was not injured, but it was hot and she had a little nosebleed." ”
Aunt Jiang shook her head and was noncommittal, it was only April day, and it was the time when the spring breeze was warm, and there was a hot nosebleed. It's obvious that he went out to get into trouble and came back in a panic. Seeing that her daughter was not in the way, she put her mind at ease and said, "The eldest lady told you to go over for lunch today, hurry up and clean up, someone from Qinfangyuan has been urging for a long time." ”
The "big lady" mentioned by Aunt Jiang is naturally the general's wife - Xiao Shuying, with no trace of small characters. Mrs. Xiao is the second daughter of Xiao Guogong, gentle and generous, taking care of housework tightly and organized, and met General Yan in the prime of his life, and fell in love at first sight. At that time, General Yan was only a deputy general under Xiao Guogong, and he didn't dare to climb the daughter of Guogong, but Mrs. Xiao admired it wholeheartedly, and Xiao Guogong had nothing to do, so he had to promote General Yan and hint at him to propose. General Yan has always had great respect for Mrs. Xiao.
Xianchen hurriedly washed her face and changed into an azure dress, and Aunt Jiang was combing her hair in a bun. In the mirror, Xianchen changed into a daughter's outfit, with long hair and a shawl, which was two points less heroic but three points more delicate than just now, which was really cute and moving. Xian Chen looked at himself in the mirror, then looked at Aunt Jiang behind him, and said with a suffocated mouth: "I really look like my father, if I look like my mother, I should be very beautiful, right?" ”
Aunt Jiang has always known that this child loves Hun and doesn't care about her, but she smiled at the grandmother next to her: "Although the third lady is seven points like the master, there are still three points like the aunt, you see that this eyebrows and eyes are very similar." ”
Xianchen combed his hair in a bun, strode out, and a sentence floated in the air, "Mama doesn't have to comfort me, haha......"
Xianchen went to the eldest brother's yard first, wanting to go with his sister-in-law, but who knew that the sister-in-law Xiao Luhan had already gone over to talk to Mrs. Xiao early. It's no wonder that Xiao Luhan's small character Qiuwan is the daughter of the Xiao family's side branch, although the blood relatives are a little farther away, but Xiao Wanqiu is really gentle and considerate, knowledgeable, and neat, which makes Mrs. Xiao love him.
Seeing that the sister-in-law was not there, Xianchen went to the front yard to find the eldest brother, but it happened that the second brother was also there, and he was playing with the eldest brother. Born tall and burly, with a square face, and strong muscles, it is the eldest brother Yan Chao, the word Rixi, and he just turned twenty on the first day of the first month. When a man reaches the age of 20, he will hold the ceremony of "knotting his hair and crowning it", and take the word; The woman held the ceremony of "knotting the hair and adding the hair" at the fifteenth birthday, and took the word. However, the crowning ceremony of the Yan Dynasty as the son of the Yan family is common, and the Yan family has never paid attention to these red tapes.
Next to him is of medium stature, white and delicate, scholarly appearance, and the second brother Yan Lang is holding a folding fan. Yan Lang's face was gloomy, as if telling the whole world: "I lost, I lost again, I lost every time, I lost ......"
Xianchen: "Don't look at it, the second brother must have lost again." ”
"No, let's compare." Yan Lang said angrily.
Yan Chao: "My Yan family has practiced martial arts for three generations, and you are unique and like these strange things." ”
The so-called shooting is when one person covers a common object with a vessel such as a basin, bowl, cup, etc., and the other person uses subtle knowledge to determine what the object is. Yan Lang is extremely talented in this regard, but Yan Chao, a martial artist, knows nothing. The two sons of the Yan family, Da Lang is good at dancing knives and guns, leading soldiers to fight, and Erlang is good at easy learning and divination and the study of various new weapons, which can be said to have their own merits.
The three of them went to Qinfang Garden for lunch together, only to see the maids rushing in, all kinds of delicacies are dazzling, and the second-class maids and mothers-in-law each retreat after they are put on, leaving only the first-class maids and grandmothers to serve. Needless to say, everyone was seated separately. Xian Chen and the youngest Yan Shilang Yan Ming sat next to each other, Yan was only ten years old next year and Yan Chao and Yan Lang were both the sons of Mrs. Xiao, pink and cute, with a full round head, and the informal and noisy Xian Chen.
The seat was closed, and the maid and woman had already set up snacks and tea in the side hall. Everyone understood that General Yan or Mrs. Xiao had something to say, so they went to the side hall and sat down.
Yan Yujing: "On the 21st of next month, Taifu Yun will start classes in Taifu's Mansion, and those who have a little reputation in Beijing or have connections are vying to send their children to attend classes. Fortunately, in the early years, his father was the martial arts enlightenment master of Yun Yi, the son of the Yun family, so the children of our family are all on the list of students except for Ming'er, who is still young. The three of you brothers and sisters should study your homework hard and not be naughty, especially Yue'er. ”
"Father, how can my daughter ever be naughty? Mother, you have a fair word. Xianchen looked at Mrs. Xiao pitifully.
"Your father is right, Yue'er is a little naughty......" Before Mrs. Xiao could speak, Xian Chen had already rushed up in three steps and two steps to hug Mrs. Xiao's legs, and Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear to criticize anymore, although this criticism was not lethal.
Yan Lang: "The third sister is the best at being coquettish and cute, her father and mother are partial to her, if you want me to say that she should be punished well, and go to copy ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures for my aunt." ”
As soon as he heard the Buddhist scriptures, Xian Chen made an expression of fainting, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Qiuwan put on a white fox shoulder for Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao looked at the account book overnight with a sore shoulder and neck, and she just needed a shoulder. After dressing Mrs. Xiao carefully, she turned around and said with a smile: "I have only seen Aunt Jiang two or three times since I passed the door, and my aunt is dedicated to Buddha, so she should come out and gather more with our closest relatives." ”
Xianchen was about to speak, Yan Lang took the first step and said: "Sister-in-law don't mind, Aunt Jiang is the most amiable person, but she has such a temperament that doesn't like to be lively, and there are only two old grandmothers who have been serving in her room for more than ten or twenty years, and even the first-class maid in the third sister's room is probably rare to see her." ”
Yan Ming: "My mother never treated my aunt harshly, and she also allowed the third sister to be raised under the name of her aunt and called her 'mother'." But the third sister is closer to her mother than her aunt, and I am going to be jealous when I see it. ”
Yan Ming is well-known for maintaining the dust, and everyone laughed dumbly when they heard his childish words. Xiao Qiuwan was originally an unintentional remark, but it attracted everyone's maintenance of Xian Chen, and she lowered her head slightly embarrassed. Yan Chao saw his wife like this, and inevitably glared at his two younger brothers helplessly. Xianchen scratched his head stupidly.
