Chapter 17
The Tang Mansion intends to marry the Right Xiaowei General's Mansion, at present, only the hostess of the Tang Mansion Dou and the hostess of the General's Mansion Gao have a faint meaning, and they have not been put on the bright side, the eldest grandson girl naturally knows nothing about this, she is very busy now, in addition to reading and practicing calligraphy, learning female red and other activities every day, she also has to spend half an hour with her brother to learn archery.
Because of the support of the eldest grandson, the Gao family allowed her to practice martial arts, but the right female teacher is not so easy to find, there is no suitable female teacher, the eldest grandson girl can only pester her brother eldest grandson Wuji to teach her some basic kung fu first, the eldest grandson Wuji has always loved this sister, so naturally he can't refuse her request.
Every day after school, he has to take half an hour out to teach his sister archery, and then do his homework, fortunately, although the eldest grandson girl has not learned archery before, but she exercises her body every day, and her body is good, plus this girl was born smart, holding the small bow she used when she was young, and she learned it well, which made the eldest grandson Wuji, who was an elder brother, quite a sense of achievement.
Busy days always pass quickly, in a blink of an eye to the Shangyuan Festival, because of the encounter on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, in the Shangyuan Season, this crowded day of the eldest grandson girl chose to refuse to go out, after the Shangyuan Festival, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty asked the people to prepare for the northern tour of the various matters, the eldest grandson Sheng is a long-set entourage, busy every day.
Of course, these adults' affairs have nothing to do with the six-year-old eldest grandson girl, she reads and practices arrows in the house every day, and her life is full and peaceful, on the eighteenth day of the first month, Li Xiuning of the Tang State Mansion gave her a poster, inviting her to go to the house on the twenty-second day of the first month to play, and the eldest grandson girl was quite excited to receive the post.
On the twenty-second day of the first month, the neatly dressed eldest grandson girl took the maid to the Tang Guogong Mansion happily, she arrived at the door of the Guogong Mansion, handed over the sticker, and was quickly welcomed in. ”
The eldest grandson girl is wearing the same costume that she wore when she returned to her uncle's house with her mother on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the bright and gorgeous colors made her look like a little fairy in the fairy palace, which was really beautiful and lovely, but our eldest grandson girl was more skinny, and was praised by the idol she worshipped, and suddenly blushed: "Sister, don't make fun of me, you are really good-looking." ”
Li Xiuning is still dressed in red, her appearance is bright and bright, her complexion is white, coupled with her free and generous personality, enthusiastic and flamboyant, it is especially suitable to wear red, she is wearing a set of fiery red Liuxian skirt today, the fairy skirt neutralizes the heroism on her body, and adds a special delicacy to her, and there is indeed a kind of beauty that makes people can't take their eyes off.
"Poof, little girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, go, follow me to meet the other guests." Li Xiuning was amused by her and laughed, reached out and gently pinched her beautiful little face, and then naturally took her little hand and walked inside.
"Are there any other guests in my sister's house today?" When the eldest grandson girl heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, this is the first time I've had a banquet at home since I turned ten, and besides you, there are some young ladies about the same age as me." Li Xiuning nodded, when the nobles of the court reached the age of ten, most of them would hold a tea party or flower party at home once or twice a year, and the people invited were all noblewomen in the same circle, and at the same time, they would often participate in other people's tea parties and flower parties, playing polo or appreciating flowers together, which was the main way of social activities for the nobles of the dynasty.
Li Xiuning is not the same as ordinary noblewomen, she worshiped the hidden master as a teacher at the age of five, and most of the time followed the master to practice martial arts, and her temperament is much wilder than the average little girl, because she often walks with the master outside, she has seen countless different customs and folk sufferings, and has read countless books on the calendars of various dynasties, her vision and vision are far from being comparable to ordinary peers, and naturally she is not much interested in these gatherings, for this reason, when she is twelve years old, she has only participated in three gatherings of Kyoto noblewomen.
The two times she played polo, once to enjoy the flowers, and the two times she played polo she took the initiative to go, and the time she was forced to go by her mother, and as for holding a party in her own house, she had no such idea before.
The reason why there is such a move today is to listen to her mother faintly reveal to herself that she likes the little lady of the eldest grandson's mansion very much, and intends to ask for her second brother, and wants to hear her opinion.
When Li Xiuning heard this, she really thought about it seriously, although she didn't have much to do with the eldest grandson girl, but the little girl was one of the few people who was very pleasing to her at first sight, for this reason, after listening to her mother's meaning, Li Xiuning unexpectedly remembered the scene where she met the little girl of the eldest grandson's family on the sixth day of the first lunar month, it was indeed a smart, beautiful and cute little girl, and her background was enough to match Erlang.
When the idea fell here, Li Xiuning informed his mother of his impression of the eldest grandson girl, Dou's image of the eldest grandson girl was excellent, and at this moment, there was more assurance from his daughter, and there was no hesitation in his heart, just waiting for a suitable time to go to the general's mansion to propose marriage.
Since Li Xiuning knew that the eldest grandson girl would become her younger sister-in-law in the future, she naturally had to take more care of her, although she didn't participate much in the gathering of the nobles in Kyoto, but she also had a few good friends, the eldest grandson girl was smart, she was too young, and she didn't return to Beijing for a long time, if she wanted to gain a foothold in the circle of nobles in Kyoto in the future, someone had to take care of her.
It is precisely because of this psychology that there is today's party, she wants to introduce the eldest grandson girl to a few of her friends through this party, and show everyone in the circle that this little girl is the person I Li Xiuning protects, if any of you want to embarrass her in the future, you have to worry about your own weight, can you resist my anger.
Gossip aside, let's get back to business, when Li Xiuning led the eldest grandson girl to the flower hall of today's banquet, there were already eleven girls inside, the oldest of these girls was fourteen years old, the youngest was ten years old, and there was no one as big as the eldest grandson girl.
"Xiuning, who are you this beautiful little girl?" The cousin of the Dou family, who had a good relationship with Li Xiuning, walked up to them, looked at the eldest grandson girl with curiosity and asked, Cousin Dou is the niece of Li Xiuning's mother's mother, the fourth in the family, known as Dou Siniang, is thirteen years old, one year older than Li Xiuning.
"My new good friend, the little lady of the Right Xiaowei General's Mansion." Li Xiuning opened his mouth and replied.
