Article 1088
Gu Yunyan is wearing a royal blue Tianyun brocade golden lotus carve silk ruyi long skirt, which sets off her fair face with grace and luxury, a pair of eight treasures of red coral, adding more atmosphere and dignity to her face, earrings, necklaces and bracelets are red coral, the yield of coral itself is very low, it is rare to be able to make such a set of head faces.
Everyone saw that the dress of this mother and daughter was very valuable, which made the noble ladies present feel even more uncomfortable, why are they all married, this Gu Yunyan is just destined to marry a good family, and life is so good?
Although he despises Gu Yunyan as a merchant, he still can't say it directly, he can only use his eyes to convey such information, but Mrs. Cao can't bear it anymore, this Gu Yunyan is here to smash the field today, this daughter Qingyi is not a good thing, she looks like a fox in Yifu, and it is not pleasing to the eye.
Mrs. Cao said in a weird manner: "Ouch, isn't this the eldest lady of Yifu who resigned from our official position, I almost didn't recognize it just now." ”
Qingyi looked at Mrs. Cao, who looked like a brothel bustard, a little disgusted, so the upper body was a big red lotus gown, and the dewdrops on the lotus were embroidered with gold thread, but the embroidery was not very good, Qingyi could see at a glance that it was shrinking, because the normal use of such a large area of embroidery skills requires several taels of gold thread, and the effect is very good after embroidery.
It's a pity that it is estimated that it will not be used for one or two, so it looks like the stitches here and there are not very uniform, and those who know the know can see at once that this is an adulterated practice.
Mrs. Cao's lower body is a horse-faced skirt with crimson lotus, I don't know how to wear this kind of seriously color-dependent clothes, and I also took a lake-green veil, how weird it looks, this taste, Qingyi's head is full of black lines!
Qingyi hasn't seen anyone dressed like this for many years, it's just a fight with Concubine Liu Gui back then, it's just that Concubine Liu Guifei is red with green, and this Mrs. Cao is big red with crimson, and her feelings are to be a bride?
A half-old made it like this, that is, Gu Yunyan looked at it with shock in his eyes, and said lightly to the provocation of the governor Mrs. Cao: "Although our master has resigned, he is now waiting for the arrival of the new prefect, and he didn't plan to come, but the invitation letter from the Cao Mansion has been sent six times, and he has disappointed Mrs. Cao's heart not long after, hasn't it?" ”
Gu Yunyan didn't plan to endure it, the previous temporary forbearance was exchanged for almost catching this woman who looked a little vulgar on the outside, but she had a bad stomach in her bones, and Gu Yunyan was very disgusted when she thought of the things she did.
The implication of Gu Yunyan's words is that it is not me who is coming, it was you who invited us five or six times, and of course the other ladies also understood, but they were all watching the show on the sidelines.
Governor Mrs. Cao's face turned red with anger, her lips opened and closed twice and she didn't speak, but she scolded Gu Yunyan half to death in her heart, let your family degrade your family today, let your son be our son-in-law, and your daughter will be a concubine, see what you Gu Yunyan is proud of?
Especially many people found that this Gu Yunyan had nothing to scruple about now, and he was not a polite person at all, and he really underestimated this good-looking lady of Yifu before.
Qingyi is very satisfied with the mother's approach, and this time she came here to take revenge, Cao Fu would be wrong if she really thought that she Qingyi didn't care about anything and didn't care, on the contrary, Qingyi was a woman who held a lot of grudges, and the culprit who harmed her mother's conditioning for so long couldn't be let go.
Qingyi also made a simple junior salute and said: "Thank you Mrs. Cao for taking care of our Gu Mansion before, and our family also came back to thank you before leaving Jinan!" ”
Although Qingyi smiled and said that she was thanking, Mrs. Cao didn't feel that Qingyi had any sense of thanks, but the corners of her mouth twitched when she heard Qingyi's words, and she felt a little panicked for no reason, as if something would happen today.
The governor's wife didn't think much about it at this time, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she said: "Let's go to the Lotus Pavilion with me, where young people can communicate with each other, I can say it first, and the daughters of each family will show it on this occasion, don't be shy when the time comes." ”
Mrs. Yu is a person who thinks she is exquisite, and hurriedly continued: "My sister, not everyone knows that everyone is here today, how many couples have married at the lotus banquet every year, how many people in Jinan have to thank my sister." ”
Sure enough, Mrs. Yu's sycophant was very successful, and Mrs. Cao smiled embarrassedly: "Where is Mrs. Yu winning the award." ”
Soon said that the lotus pavilion is actually a big performance venue, here is not like Kyoto there are strict rules, but the inheritance of the style of the folk customs on the Jinan Mansion, men and women sit on both sides, everyone can see, this lotus banquet is actually a blind date banquet in disguise.
But there are many girls who fly on the branches every year, just like the wife of the cousin of the young master of the General Military Mansion was acquainted at the lotus banquet, and her background is not very high, although she is not very valued in the past, but it is not bad.
The crowd slowly entered the venue of the Lotus Pavilion, where a lot of coffee tables and fruits have been set up, everyone can enjoy them at will, each family is on a table, Qingyi and her mother deliberately went to the end.
Qingyi already knew that it was King Zhuang who came this time, and an old man who was over half a hundred years old had something to see.
Sure enough, those, especially the three of the five who were about to climb the high branches, secretly saw a majestic man wearing a four-clawed dragon robe next to Lord Cao, and knew that it was the prince, but they didn't see a few strange young people, whispering to each other.
"What's going on? Aren't there a few princes coming over this year? ”
"Why is there only one prince here? Where is the prince? ”
"You don't know yet, the princes have returned to Kyoto ahead of schedule, and only one of the princes of the Beiding Marquis Mansion is at this banquet."
"What is He Qi Zhengshizi, I heard that he is the most flowery prince in Kyoto, and he already has a wife room and a side lady and six or seven such as a wife, and there are still few maids in this room, I heard that there are no children."
"Huh? So? However, Uncle He is also a prince, much more expensive than the young masters in our Jinan Mansion, and he is a cousin of King Qingjun, or the queen mother's mother's family. ”
Although the daughter present was not very satisfied, but even this identity is not bad, so a lot of flattering eyes began to be frequently thrown to He Qizheng, this He Qizheng has a good name, but unfortunately he didn't suppress it, a belly of wine bags and rice bags.
After coming to Jinan, it has not stopped, thinking of which beauties in their own family have been out of breath, this heart is inevitably disappointed, follow Zhuang Wang Ye to the lotus banquet can boldly look at the beauty, although not as delicate as the women in Kyoto, but free of a bold and atmospheric style, but also quite likable, this time I can go to a few will be good.
Thinking of this, he looked at the beauties on the field in a daze, and when he saw Yu Yintao, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, Yu Yintao showed his beautiful neck with satisfaction, and he Qi was boiling with blood.
I was so excited that I almost went over to bite a few bites, there are such peach blossom fairies in this Jinan Mansion, it is really worth the trip.
Zhuang Wangye is already more than half a hundred years old, he is older than the emperor, this matter to check the drought, although it is solved, but after this is solved, this year's autumn harvest or something should also be checked.
So I'm not very enthusiastic about these women's affairs, but I'm just talking to the governor and the general soldiers, and basically don't think about other people and things.
Mrs. Cao saw that the occasion was almost lively, so she gave her daughter a look, Mrs. Cao said: "This year's lotus banquet is held in our Cao Mansion, according to the annual routine, this year's song and dance performance begins, and the daughters of each family should prepare it." ”
Qingyi looked at this opening remark really not very much, it was too simple, but it was also in line with the state of mind of each daughter, and she couldn't wait to go on the stage to perform immediately.
Everyone began to discuss in a whisper about the program they wanted to perform, and some of them blushed and looked at the man sitting at the top, although the big man from Kyoto is Zhuang Wangye and a few officials, but the youngest is the prince of the world, and this Gao Zhi is not bad.
It was noon when I came this day, and after an afternoon of performances, I went to dinner, and then I took a break for an hour and left, which is the order of the lotus feast.
The first performance is Yu Yintao, the performance is a dance, the dance is very enchanting, although it is not perfect, but the first appearance always makes people applaud more.
Yu Yintao's cheeks were slightly sweaty after skipping the song, and after the sun shone like this, it seemed to be a beautiful peach blossom-like goblin, extremely charming.
In fact, it is because Yu Yintao is coated with a kind of fragrant powder, which is easy to make people have an illusion, even Cao Runrui, the son of the governor's family, is a little confused, and Cao Mirui, the second son of the Cao family, is even more surprised.
It's just that you can't make your own decisions about this marriage after all, two days ago, I listened to my mother's plan and remembered that I should have a wife, although he and his eldest brother are one year apart, but why hasn't anyone said anything about him?
This result made him very annoyed, and when he saw Yu Yintao at this time, he seemed to think of his marriage, so Cao Mirui's heart beat fiercely, this kind of beauty should be his own! As if he had made some decision, Cao Mirui's eyes had a somewhat obscure look.
And Yu Yintao watched the prince smile at her, and knew that there was a play, and she had to make persistent efforts, so Yu Yintao replied shyly.
According to the order of voluntary and lottery, the second is Zheng Yuer, this time Zheng Yuer is performing a sword dance, Zheng Yuer, who is not too fair-skinned after a song, seems to have found her own tune, and the heroic Fan makes many daughters incomparable, and finally Zheng Yuer has found a lot of self-confidence.
Zhuang Wang Ye praised Zheng Zongbing and said: "Zheng Zongbing's daughter is good, the tiger father has no dog girl, hahaha." ”
Zheng Zongbing said modestly: "Where is it, it can't be compared with the daughter of the prince's family, our children are naughty, and they have been interested in these things since they were children, and I, the parent, have come with her temperament, hehehe." ”
In fact, this Zhuang Wang Ye is in a polite compliment, not a sincere compliment, only people like Zheng Zongbing stupidly think that it is really to praise their children.
The third is Shen Youyun, who plays the guqin or the track of "Mountains and Flowing Water", the mountains and flowing water are already difficult, Shen Youyun's kung fu is not at home, everyone almost fell asleep, and she hasn't finished talking.
However, only He Qizheng was looking at it with great interest, because Shen Youyun was wearing a little bold this time, it was an emerald green color of clothes, yes, but the clothes were very bold, more daring than Yu Yintao, a lot of exposure below the collarbone, and He Qizheng's eyes were straight.
The fourth is Cao Yanrui, Cao Yanrui, who is dressed in green clothes, is taking a pure route this time, but unfortunately she painted a very thick makeup to destroy it, Cao Yanrui is singing singing, this voice is not very good, and everyone doesn't understand what to sing.
The last is Gong Feifei, I didn't expect Gong Feifei to sing a play, and many people present looked at this Gong Feifei with disdain, and came out wearing a costume, which was really a loss of Jinan's daughter's face, and something that couldn't be put on the stage!
Only He Qi was watching with relish, and found that the women in his yard couldn't sing small songs, especially this chick sang like weeping and complaining, so she liked this tune.
Next, many daughters have finished performing, those who think they are not good at performing, such as embroidery or something, cooking or something, these people basically don't perform, of course, there is Qingyi in this, Qingyi thinks that his talent does not need to be shown here!
Cao Yanrui kept staring at Qingyi and looked at it again, as well as Yi Yingbo, who was already near the end of the performance at this time, Yi Yingbo didn't look at her from beginning to end, which made her a little frustrated, and stared at Qingyi and said: "Mother, our new prefect's daughter in Jinan has not performed!" ”
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Qingyi, including Zhuang Wangye, who was amazed for a moment when he saw Qingyi's appearance, but it was fleeting, but He Qizheng drooled directly when he saw Qingyi, this kind of beauty seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Compared with the women in their own yard, they are all outstanding, and suddenly their hearts are as uncomfortable as cat's paws, and Yu Yintao and Gong Feifei, who were pleasing to the eye before, are not enough to see.
And Cao Runrui looked at Qingyi as if you were me, which made Qingyi very uncomfortable, Qingyi avoided these eyes and said: "Thank you Mrs. Cao for your kindness, Qingyi knows that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so these will not make you laugh." ”
As soon as Qingyi said that he didn't know anything, he suddenly swept over with disdainful eyes from everywhere, and they all felt that Qingyi was just an empty and beautiful vase, and he couldn't get on the table, he couldn't do anything, it was really embarrassing.
Qingyi just sat down and generously, such a third-rate banquet, at this level, Qingyi had no interest in performing with them at all, that was a very bad thing.
Gu Yunyan held her daughter's hand and said, "Ning'er, don't worry, if anyone dares to say anything, just listen to their mother." ”
Qingyi nodded, if it weren't for the excitement today, she really felt disgusted to see these people, it would be best for her mother to deal with such an occasion, after all, there is a prince here, and he is also a member of the royal family if he does not shy away from it.
Mrs. Cao really gloated: "Hey, such a beautiful daughter doesn't know anything, I said Mrs. Yi, how do you usually educate?" ”
Mrs. Cao just wants to find Mrs. Yi's bad luck, she just doesn't like Gu Yunyan to be younger and more beautiful than her, and her body and skin are better than her, even their master, sure enough, Mrs. Cao's anger is surging upward, this Lord Cao is fascinated to look at this Mrs. Yi, this slut, Mrs. Cao feels that she is about to explode in anger, and if she doesn't find some channel to vent, she will definitely suffocate to death.
