Chapter 21: The face is red and white
Qin Luofei shook his head secretly, this Lin Huijiao was really spoiled by the Lin family, and such words could be said. If it is really a big man, such a question is obviously disrespectful.
The little guy hurriedly stopped, and Shi Li said, "I heard that the steward in the front yard said that the Seventh Prince is here." ”
"Seven Princes!" Lin Huijiao's cheeks immediately shy, and she hurriedly arranged her clothes and hairstyle with her hands.
I knew that the Seventh Prince was going to come to the poetry meeting, so she should dress up and come out again, but it was too late now.
Qin Luoyu was also secretly happy in his heart, although the palace was rich and powerful, but the emperor had so many concubines, it was impossible to favor one person, and there were rumors that the emperor now favors Leng Guifei alone, and he does not want to see other concubines. The methods of the cold concubine have been seen by everyone, not only knocked down her sister Queen Leng, but also ruthlessly dealt with the concubines in the palace, since the death of Queen Leng, two more concubines died inexplicably in the palace, which shocked the women of the family to enter the palace with a little more care.
But the seventh prince is different, the emperor's younger brother is powerful, and there is no princess, and there is no mother-in-law in the past, so he can be the master of the house.
The other women were also shocked when they heard the Seventh Prince, although it was not as obvious as Lin Huijiao, but their joy was self-evident.
Qin Luofei no longer had a heart for the Seventh Prince, and the last temptation proved that this man could not be attracted to him, so it was better to go his own way.
Qin Luofei sat down leisurely, eating the grapes brought by the maids, and enjoying the scenery of this Lin Mansion.
The courtyard of this Lin Mansion is actually a few points wider than the Qin family, even the flowers and plants in the courtyard are better than the Qin family, especially the rockery, the strange rocks are craggy, steep and towering, it takes a lot of effort.
"Sister, aren't you going to see the Seventh Prince?" Hearing the voice, Qin Luofei turned his head, and it turned out to be Luo Ziyan.
Qin Luofei smiled, "Sister, why don't you go to see the Seventh Prince?" Doesn't my sister want to be the Seventh Princess? ”
Luo Ziyan didn't blame Qin Luofei for his questioning, sat next to Qin Luofei, ate two grapes, and then said, "Sister doesn't ask for anything else, only for the safety of the family." ”
Qin Luofei knew that although the head of the Luo family was a bachelor, the Luo family was an upstart with a low foundation, and it could not be compared with their families, so Luo Ziyan wanted to enter the palace for the draft, so that the Luo family could gain a foothold in the imperial court.
This Luo Ziyan is so tactful, and she knows what she wants?
"Sister, like a sister."
Luo Ziyan looked at the smart woman in front of her, and it was difficult to connect with the rumors outside.
On that side, the Seventh Prince entered the mansion accompanied by the sons of the Lin family. Seeing that the Lin family's house covers a wide area, but there are obviously some traces of patchwork, I think it was after Lin Concubine was favored, and the Lin family forcibly expanded the circle for the sake of face.
The Seventh Prince was disdainful of coming, but now the court is using Prime Minister Lin, so the emperor has to save face. It's hard to get to someone with such a temperament as him, and the most important thing is that he heard the little guy say that all the ladies in Kyoto will come to participate today, and he can't help but feel a little more interested.
The eldest son of the Lin family is now a squire, and he is more or less an official of the imperial court, unlike other children of the Lin family who can't even ask for fame. Except, of course, for the youngest Lin Gongzi.
"The Seven Princes can come to the Humble House, it's really brilliant." Lin Zhaoming, the eldest son of the Lin family, stammered on his face, and the other sons and nephews of the Lin family also agreed.
The Seventh Prince only snorted expressionlessly.
Everyone knows that this Seventh Prince is the most black-faced and cold-hearted, and they don't dare to expect him to give a smile.
Lin Zhaoming first led the Seventh Prince to see the old lady of the Lin family, and then led him to the backyard again.
Qin Luofei chatted with Luo Ziyan about family life, and quietly paid attention to Qin Luoyu, seeing that his sister had been tidying up the hairpin rings on her clothes and hair, she also knew in her heart that her sister also had thoughts about this Seventh Prince, but she should still add fire.
She stood up quietly, walked to Qin Luoyu's side, and said in a low voice, "Sister, did you say that the Seventh Prince really came to the Lin family's mansion?" ”
Qin Luoyu didn't like her sister in the first place, and she was just trying to maintain her dignified and virtuous image, but she really hated her in her heart.
"Of course, how dare the little guy of the Lin family lie." Qin Luoyu said, pinching his cheeks slightly with his hands, making his cheeks look even more rosy.
Qin Luofei's small face showed an extremely annoyed expression, and he complained: "If only I had my sister's beauty, the Seventh Prince would definitely like me." I think there is anything good about the palace, so many concubines guard an emperor. It's not as good as the Seventh Prince, such a big mansion, and he will be the master of the house when he enters. The seventh prince is the emperor's younger brother, and there is a lot of glory and wealth. ”
Qin Luofei's words were naturally what Qin Luoyu thought in her heart, but she still maintained her ladylike demeanor, and said indifferently: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, this is what our daughter's family should think." ”
Qin Luofei nodded helplessly, and returned to his seat just right to continue eating and drinking.
Luo Ziyan on the side saw the expressions of the two, guessed slightly, and couldn't help but show a funny look, she liked this outspoken fourth miss of the Qin family, she always felt that the second miss of the Qin family was too hypocritical in her words and deeds, and coupled with the previous clothes, she felt more and more that what kind of mother she had, what kind of children she had.
As soon as the seventh prince entered the backyard, he saw a woman rushing over, only to hit the seventh prince, and the guards beside the seventh prince mercilessly reached out and blocked the woman's advance with a sword.
The woman's original intention was to crash into the arms of the Seventh Prince, and when she saw the opportunity, she knew that someone had inserted a rod diagonally, and one couldn't hold her feet and fell to the ground.
The woman looked up resentfully.
"Little sister!" The eldest son of the Lin family broke out in a cold sweat. I resented my mother in my heart for being too spoiled by my sister, and she actually used such despicable means to seduce the Seventh Prince, but she was still in full view of everyone, which was really a shame for the Lin family.
The Seventh Prince didn't even look at the woman on the ground, he kept walking forward, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the woman's side.
"The folk girl has seen the Seventh Prince." A delicate voice sounded. A woman with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance walked in front of him like a willow swinging in the wind.
The Seventh Prince frowned unhappily, how much rouge did this woman wipe, she could smoke people to death.
Lin Huijiao, who had just gotten up on the ground, saw the woman who stepped forward to greet the Seventh Prince, and immediately understood that she was being used.
Although she is not smart, she grew up in a living family, and she does not understand the doorway.
Qin Luoyu deliberately said in front of herself just now how to hook up with the Seventh Prince, lead herself to the bait, and make herself ugly, but she herself went to greet the Seventh Prince with all manners, showing her elegant beauty.
"Qin Luoyu, you wait." Lin Huijiao hated her teeth. She didn't expect that this Qin Luoyu would even calculate her.
Such a beautiful woman was in front of him, but the Seventh Prince frowned slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Luofei, who was happy to eat on the mat.
The other women of the family were all tidying up and looking at him, but she turned a blind eye to herself.
The Seventh Prince turned his head and went to the male guest, leaving only Qin Luoyu to endure everyone's funny gaze, his face was red and white.
She was so beautiful, the Seventh Prince refused to even look at her.
Qin Luoyu turned his head and glanced at Qin Luofei fiercely, Qin Luofei looked at her with an aggrieved expression, don't look at me, I don't know why that scourge doesn't like a charming beauty like you, maybe he doesn't like women.
The old lady of the Lin family was dressed in a crab shell and green Luo luan, and walked out with the support of several maids.
The old lady is the master, and below is the eldest lady of the Lin family.
The daughters-in-law of the Lin family are all good, and the face shape of the eldest lady of the Lin family's goose egg is somewhat similar to that of Concubine Lin, and they are all coquettish people.
Qin Luofei took a few sips from the cup, but felt a beam of eyes rushing at her. Qin Luofei didn't bother to look at it, but it was just a disciple of Bo Xing from which family.
This time, it can be regarded as a gathering of ladies in Kyoto, and it is indispensable for those prodigal sons, who keep peeping, and comment on the young lady of that house is the most outstanding.
The Seventh Prince saw her at a glance among the many ladies.
The old lady of the Lin family picked up the rhino horn carved hosta cup in front of her and said with a smile: "Thank you, young ladies...... The sons admired their faces to participate in this poetry meeting, and the old body toasted everyone first. ”
The old lady raised her glass, and everyone hurriedly raised their glasses.
Only then did Qin Luofei realize that not only were the cases in front of everyone different, but even the wine jugs and wine glasses were different.
In front of Mrs. Lin was a small table of red sandalwood, a six-diamond-shaped wine jug, and a rhino horn carved hosta cup.
In front of him is the ivy case, plum blossom silver wine jug, and entangled agate pot.
Looking at Luo Ziyan beside her, the soft velvet Fuzi coral tablecloth, the mandarin duck turned into an incense pot, and the gold bull head agate was inlaid.
I only heard that the Lin family is rich now, and it is really different, even the Leng family in the past has never been so extravagant.
"Yue'er." The old lady of the Lin family likes her youngest grandson the most, and now that she has gained fame, she naturally loves her even more.
"Grandmother." As he spoke, a man with a hippie smile came down the hallway.
A dark color narrow-sleeved brocade robe, the cuffs are inlaid with auspicious clouds with complex patterns, and the moon-white auspicious cloud pattern belt around the waist is only hung with a piece of jade with excellent quality, although the shape is strange, it is clearly a good ancient jade.
Qin Luofei frowned slightly, only feeling that this son of the Lin family had an indescribable evil spirit, and he didn't like it.
The old lady took Lin Lingyue's hand, her eyes were full of love.
The Lin family held this poetry meeting, obviously to catch the wind and wash the dust, and secretly to choose a lovely lady for the son of the Lin family.
Only the eldest son and the youngest son of the Lin family are from the eldest lady, so they naturally have to choose a girl with a good family background.
"The fact that the Seventh Prince can come to the Lin Mansion really makes our Lin Mansion shine. The old body wants to invite the seventh prince and the old body to preside over this poetry meeting together, and I hope that the seventh prince will not refuse. "Old Madam Lin has her own plans in her heart, dragging the Seventh Prince, then her grandson's marriage will be related to the royal family, which will also be good for her grandson's future.
"This king, I can't ask for it." The Seventh Prince stood up and walked to the throne.
The behavior of the Seven Princes was so unexpected to Qin Luofei, when did these Seven Princes become so humane.
The first test is poetry. Except for Qin Luofei, all the other ladies who came participated in it, and even Luo Ziyan went up to make a song.
Especially her good sister Qin Luoyu lost face in front of the Seventh Prince just now, and now, how can she get it back.
Qin Luofei had already guessed in his heart that this poetry meeting must not be simple, the old lady of the Lin family made such a big fanfare, and focused on introducing her little grandson.
A smile overflowed at the corner of Qin Luofei's lips, it seemed that the old lady was about to make a mistake, according to her observation of this Lin family's son, he was not an obedient master.
The poems written by the young ladies of each family were collected and handed over to the old lady and the seventh prince.
The old lady of the Lin family watched a few songs and nodded incessantly.
"Seventh Prince, you see, you can deny the ranking."
The Seventh Prince's narrow eyes glanced lightly at the women who were doing it, and said, "It seems that there is one person missing." ”
Qin Luofei didn't expect this Seventh Prince to be very nosy.
The old lady checked with someone, and sure enough, there was one person missing.
"Sister, it's not that you didn't pay. If you don't know, why don't you make a song for you? Qin Luoyu pursed his lips and smiled.
Her voice was neither loud nor small, just for everyone to hear.
Although a woman is not talented is virtuous, but everyone is still proficient in poetry and songs, Qin Luofei has become the focus of everyone's attention for a while.
Qin Luofei's face was still the same, and he smiled faintly: "Then I'll bother my sister." ”
Qin Luoyu was originally humiliating her sister, but every time she thought of her, she agreed to let her do it.
She had worked hard to make a song just now, but now she couldn't do it anyway, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's fine." The old woman of the Lin family heard that the fourth lady of the Qin family was not favored, and she thought that there was no dogma, so she would replace it, so as not to be ugly, and she was the young lady of the Qin family.
"Slow." The Seventh Prince stopped by the side, looked at Qin Luofei with a pair of gloomy eyes, and said, "Miss Qin, I and the old lady don't dislike it for good or bad, as long as the fourth lady does it." ”
These Seven Princes are really idle, Qin Luofei secretly hated it, but it was not easy to refute the Seventh Princes on his face.
"Then Luo Fei is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Qin Luofei saw that he couldn't escape, so he had to stand up. A little maid sent a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Qin Luofei just wanted to put down the pen, and the seventh prince said: "I think that the fourth lady deliberately didn't hand in the poems just now, and now she has to be punished, so it's better for the fourth lady to chant a poem according to the peony in this courtyard." ”
In her previous life, the eldest lady of the Leng family was fluent in poetry, singing and dancing, and this little poem really couldn't help her.
These seven princes are against her everywhere, and she wants to give him something powerful this time.
She nodded slightly, put down the pen like flying, and handed it to the little girl.
Lonely and red, low to the rain, away from the cloth, scattered with the wind.
It was still melancholy when it landed, not to mention floating in the dirt.
The little maid held the poems and gave them to the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince frowned slightly, a shock flashed in his eyes, and handed the poems to the old lady.
