The Qin family's mansion was given by the Emperor of Wude in the fifth year of the Holy Emperor, and it was the residence of a prince of the previous dynasty. There are carved beams and paintings all over the house, exquisite and gorgeous, and there is a small hill full of green trees and bamboos in the garden to the north, and a small blue pond at the bottom of the mountain. The water pavilion on the corridor by the pool is actually a stage, and the two small buildings on the opposite bank, one east and one west, are the listening pavilions in the house, and there is a bamboo forest in the middle of the east and west theaters.
The female dependents were placed in the West Pavilion to listen to the play, and the three tables by the window on the second floor sat the girls from each house.
The three sisters of the Qingdai family arrived early, and after seeing Mrs. Qin and Qin Zi, they were led to the theater. After sitting for a while, I saw acquaintances coming up, Tinglan, Zhang Shi, Zhou Cuiniang and Ji Chun. When Ji Chun saw the three Qingdai sisters, he was too lazy to take care of it, so he went to find another table and sat down.
Zhou Cuiniang saw Qinglian and praised her for her beautiful dress, so she sat down next to Qinglian, and the two of them talked about the popular clothing and accessories in Beijing. Qingwei pulled Tinglan to sit down at her table. Qingdai stood and said a few words to Miss Zhang Shi, who was called away by her cousin and sat down at another table. Qing Dai tasted tea boredly, and after a while, Qi Zhen arrived.
Qi Zhen swept around, saw Qing Dai sitting by the window, walked over and sat down, "When did you arrive?" โ
"It's been more than half an hour."
Qi Zhen smiled and quipped: "You are to blame today." โ
"People made a post, and they also deliberately named them, and someone sent someone over last night to remind them, how dare you not get up early today." Qingdai Nunu mouthed, and asked with a smile, "What are you busy with these days?" โ
Qi Zhen's god changed, looked down at the Yuxi lotus pastel tea bowl on the table, and was silent for a long time, "Someone came to my house to propose, and my mother asked me to cultivate myself at home." โ
Qing Dai smiled and laughed, "It's decided?" โ
Jane pouted, "If it's really settled, how can I still get out of the mansion?" โ
"In the blink of an eye, you're about to get married......" Qi Zhen is one year younger than Qinglian, and she will be married next year. It was only natural for Mrs. Qi to think that she would kiss her.
Qi Zhen said helplessly: "Originally, my mother was not in a hurry, and wanted to keep me for two more years." As a result, when someone mentioned the marriage, my father looked at it as inappropriate, but my grandmother remembered it and said that I was not young, so my mother would look at each other now. My mother got my grandmother's words, and now the east picks the west, I really don't know if she will be dazzled? โ
It sounded like Qi Zhen was talking casually, but there was no smile on her face. Qing Dai patted her hand and said comfortingly: "Pearl, you have to have a number in your heart, don't wait until they get married, and they don't even have room to turn around." Speaking of which, Tingjia has never seen her since she got married, and I don't know how her life is now......"
While the two were talking, there was a commotion from downstairs.
A group of people came upstairs and saw the red-clothed woman walking in the front, Qi Zhen whispered in surprise: "I didn't expect this ancestor to come too?" โ
At the moment when the graceful and beautiful figure appeared, Qing Dai glanced behind her, and finally saw another familiar figure appear at the staircase, pulled Qi Zhen's sleeve and said, "Look at Tingjia, Tingjia is also here." โ
"This dead girl, it's been a year since I've seen a figure." Qi Zhen complained, but her face was full of smiles, "I don't even bring a word to others, I'll find an opportunity to teach her a lesson later." โ
Mrs. Qin accompanied Princess Duanyang to sit at the main table in the middle, and the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, Fรน, accompanied the three daughters-in-law of the Zhongyi Hou family, Fรน, to sit down at the table again. Coincidentally, Tingjia's position was directly opposite Qi Zhen and Qingdai, Tingjia smiled and nodded at the two, and was dragged by the person next to him to talk.
After sending the princess to the seat, Qin Zi was about to retreat to the next seat, but was called by Princess Duanyang, "Today's birthday star is the biggest, and the third girl, this child is sensible and hurts, so I asked her to sit next to me." โ
The princess spoke, Qin Zi felt honored, bowed down and thanked her, and then sat down beside the princess.
The play on the water pavilion has begun. Although the drama is really good, the following girls who came to congratulate have not been on the stage since Princess Duanyang appeared, and they all concentrated in the middle of the main position. Seeing that the princess was sitting down and bowing her head and laughing with Qin Zi from time to time, the girls became more and more red, and couldn't help but whisper.
"The old family of the Qin Pavilion is not declining, and the princess is here on behalf of the Queen Mother. King Zhong opened a government and built a mansion, could it be that the queen mother is the third girl in the picture? โ
"I see that Princess Duanyang invited Miss Qin to take a seat, this move is just a whim."
"Not necessarily, haven't you heard that Princess Duanyang's third son has returned to Beijing, maybe the princess is in love with the third girl Qin?"
"Didn't you see that Mrs. Ji was also at the main table, she can be related to the Chengguo Mansion, maybe it may be the prince of Chengguo?"
โโฆโฆโ
While discussing, Princess Duanyang suddenly called Miss Zhang Shi to ask questions. The atmosphere on the table suddenly changed direction.
Qing Dai seemed to be indifferent to these gossips, and her eyes kept looking at the tea tray in the hands of the maids who served the refreshments.
Qi Zhen touched Qingdai with her elbow, "You know how to eat, you have been staring at the snacks in the hands of other people's maids, and you don't know that you think your stepmother is hungry for you?" โ
"Shhhhhh Qingwei is still there! Qingdai glanced at Qi Zhen, "Where am I hungry?" It's just that I feel that the princess is here, and this treatment is immediately different. โ
"What do you mean by that?"
Qing Dai glanced at the side and said in a low voice: "When people didn't arrive, there were four dishes and eight things, and when people arrived, they became eight dishes and sixteen things, and there were a few things that I looked like Wupinzhai ordered." The eldest lady of the Qin family is really good at living, and she is afraid that she will know that someone will come to the palace if she gets the news earlier, but she doesn't know who it is, so she prepares a banquet with both hands. I'm wondering, if the queen and the queen mother come in person, will these eight dishes and sixteen things become sixteen dishes and thirty-two things? โ
Qi Zhen almost burst out with laughter in a mouthful of tea, and hurriedly swallowed it, but choked and coughed vigorously with a handkerchief. Seeing that this scene was about to be sung, Qi Zhen coughed non-stop. Qi Zhen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and pointed to the stairs. Qing Dai understood, helped Qi Zhen Shunshun's back, and said to the others at the table: "I will accompany Pearl down to Shunshunqi, so as not to disturb the nobles, and the sisters will sit down for a while." โ
Qingdai helped Qi Zhen downstairs together.
went downstairs, Qingdai helped Qi Zhen to find a secluded place on the edge of the bamboo forest in the east and stood still. Seeing that there was no one around, Qing Dai withdrew her hand and looked at Qi Zhen who was still coughing, "I said that I also went downstairs, can you stop coughing?" โ
Qi Zhen straightened up and said in surprise: "How do you know that I am pretending?" โ
"My jokes aren't that funny, and you're laughing like that, and besides, your cough is so fake." Qing Dai glanced at Qi Zhen, "Did you see Zhang Siniang going back to the princess, and you were afraid of being named?" โ
Qi Zhen pinched Qing Dai's face, "You girl is smart." โ
Qing Dai slapped the wolf claws on her face and snorted: "You know how to eat when I do!" I didn't leave a word of what those people said, and I heard it clearly. Tell me, are you afraid of marrying them? โ
"Which? I don't want any of them! โ
Qi Zhen shrugged her shoulders, stretched out her hand and folded her fingers and said to Qing Dai: "That third child of the Hua family heard that he looks better than a woman, and I, a mediocre-looking person, look at it all day long, and I am not ashamed...... I heard that he kills people on the battlefield, he is a cold-faced Hades, and he lives with an ice cube, so I can't stand it! โ
"King Zhong, hey, my fifth brother is his best friend, and I have heard him talk about the glorious deeds of this prince all day long, hum...... There is also the fact that this status is too high, and the royal rules are too strict, which is not suitable! โ
"That prince of the country, only eight years old, when the Queen Mother wanted to point out Zhou Danniang to him, he was not happy, I am a big old man, don't join in this fun."
Qing Dai listened to Qi Zhen's words and smiled dumbly, "You don't like these three people?" โ
Qi Zhen glanced at Qingdai, "For you, are you willing to choose them?" โ
Jiu Niangniang, Yu Handsome Guy and Zhong Wangye, these three people want to have an identity, they want to have a status, they want to have a status, the handsome guy is golden, the real diamond king Lao Wu, but none of them is simple, they are all relatives of the emperor and the country, where is a little person like her worthy?
Qing Dai shook her head, "Those three are all big fat, everyone wants to grab them." I'm weak, and even if I grab it, I'm afraid of people's worries. Besides, the meat is delicious, and if you eat it, you will have indigestion, so why not eat it? โ
Qi Zhen nodded and said, "Well, that's such a reason!" My husband's status doesn't have to be too high, and it doesn't matter if he's worse than my family. But people should be down-to-earth and steady, know how to be considerate, have a sense of responsibility, and treat me sincerely...... It's best to have a harmonious family, mother-in-law is easy to coax, don't have those messy concubines and relatives looking for trouble from time to time......"
Qi Zhen babbled a lot, Qing Dai listened carefully, and said casually: "Those who know the root may not know so much, where do you find such a person now?" โ
Qi Zhen opened her mouth and said, she didn't know what she thought of and closed her mouth stupidly, and after a while, she said, "These things have to be decided by the family......
Qing Dai took Qi Zhen's hand, "You can rest assured, your mother loves you so much, she will always give me a good look." โ
"It's just that I suddenly thought of leaving home and getting married, and I felt a little depressed." Qi Zhen sighed, "It's you, you will have to think about marriage in two or three years." Your mother is not close, and your father doesn't love you. Grandmother treats you well, but she is an old man, and who will have the final say in your marriage when the time comes......"
Qing Dai never thought about it, but some things are useless now, and no one knows what they will encounter until then.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Qingdai smiled and quipped, "Don't worry about me, if you come out, your mother won't think you will run away later, right?" โ
"My mother knows my mind and won't say anything." Qi Zhen said impatiently about the things upstairs, looked at Qing Dai for a while, and hesitated, "Or, when the time comes, you will marry your fourth brother Wang?" โ
"Little cousin? He is tวng meets your requirements. โ
Qi Zhen blushed and took a sip of Qingdai, "What about you, what are you doing with me?" โ
Qing Dai pouted and said, "Isn't this just the case that you mentioned him, but it matches what you said." โ
Qi Zhen rolled her eyes, "Besides, I don't pay attention to you!" โ
Qing Dai pursed her lips and chuckled, "Come on, I won't tease you." My little cousin is a good person, but he will be seventeen next year, so I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for me in the next few years. Besides, I don't know what he thinks in his heart, maybe he only treats me as a girl? โ
Qi Zhen muttered in a low voice: "I don't think it may be ......."
"What did you say?" Qing Dai didn't hear clearly, so she asked again.
"No, I didn't say anything...... Qi Zhen waved her hand, "Look at the time is about to start, let's go back." โ
As soon as the two left, five people came out of the bamboo forest behind them, and the leading young man looked at the three people with different faces beside him, coughed awkwardly twice, and said with a sullen smile: "It's just a joke from the girl's family, and please don't be surprised by the prince, the prince and General Hua." โRO๏ผใ
