Chapter 24: Dou Yan (1)
In the alternating seasons of spring and summer, poplar flocculents are flying all over the sky. Out of the city gate, after going to the official road, it was like snow, the wind blew the curtain of the car, and a few wisps of naughty poplar catkins flew into the car and stuck to Brother Li's face, Brother Xu Ying was busy taking it off for her, and said with a smile: "The little lady in her cardamom years has become a white-bearded grandfather." ”
Brother Li slapped her lightly with a smile, snatched the poplar in her hand and wanted to stick it to her lips.
Where was Brother Ying willing to let her succeed, relying on his own strength, he pinched her wrist and gently pressed her on the carriage mat: "Little girl, don't you beg for mercy?" ”
Brother Li didn't follow it, but he was afraid that his hairstyle and clothes would be damaged when he struggled, so he whispered to him: "Second sister, let me go......
The wind blew the curtain of the car, and there were pedestrians passing by, and when they heard the faint laughter coming from inside, they couldn't help but look at it twice, and then their mood was a little better.
The banquet in the General's Mansion is not like ordinary people, and the generals have more contacts with the generals, and the Wenchen has more contacts with the Wenchen, but it is a hodgepodge - there are relatives and friends who have been good friends with the General's Mansion for many years, there are also young people who are good friends with Wujin, and ordinary guests who have invited the General's Mansion to a banquet earlier and need to return the favor, and there are also female guests who are good friends with Mrs. Wu and Brother Xu Xing.
After the Xu family arrived, the male guests were led to the front garden, and the female guests were led to the back garden. Not to mention the many greetings between acquaintances and acquaintances, the first time the person was introduced to look carefully, but many people noticed the Xu family's delicate and lovely sisters.
In the end, it is the first time since that incident to appear in front of everyone in such a grand manner, all kinds of speculation and discussion are indispensable, but you can't hide because of this. Yao looked at everyone's expressions quietly, and motioned to Brother Xu Ying to say hello to the ladies of the various mansions who were familiar with him.
Brother Xu Ying took Brother Li's hand, greeted him with a smile, and calmly accepted all kinds of looks and inquiries from all directions, and behaved generously without any crampedness. Yao was worried that she was young and thin-skinned and couldn't stand it earlier, but it could be seen that she was still the usual heartless smile, so she put her mind at ease and led Sun to go away with the female relatives she knew well.
It was the first time for Brother Li to participate in such a lively party, and he was "inadvertently" paid special attention to by several ladies, and he was a little restrained and very uncomfortable. Brother Sakura saw that she was shy, and when he finished meeting with everyone, he led her to the side to see the scenery: "I heard that today is to go boating and play first, and then go upstairs to watch my brother-in-law and them play polo." ”
"If you're interested and want to get off the field, you can still play step by step." Several gorgeously dressed girls came from the side with a smile, and a drooping girl wearing a red xiaxia yarn pleated skirt greeted Xu Ying warmly: "I haven't seen you two sisters for a long time, and I just talked to Ah Yun about you." This girl is plump, her apricot eyes are full of smiles, and her voice is particularly sweet and crisp, it is Brother Xu Ying's best little sister earlier, Tang Yuan, the fourth lady of the Taichang Siqing family.
Brother Xu Ying hadn't seen her for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart, so he took Brother Li's hand and greeted him with a smile: "Ayuan, I miss you too." ”
"Really?" Tang Yuan shook her hand and looked her up and down, and teased with her companion beside her: "I asked if she was coming as soon as I entered the door, and she definitely didn't ask any of us." ”
That's true. Brother Xu Ying smiled embarrassedly, maybe because of her actual age, she has too many things to pay attention to, although she is also concerned about Tang Yuan, but because she knows that Tang Yuan is doing well, she is not as eager to stick with her friends as she was when she was a child.
The other girls were also familiar with Brother Xu Ying, and when they saw that she was just smiling and silent, they all said, "Hey, this has changed a person, Sven." Say, "How come you have never seen this time?" We made an appointment to see you, and we also said that you were sick and could not meet guests. ”
Wu Yuyu, the sister of Wujin who was standing on the side, was the master, and when she saw that they were going to talk about Brother Xu Ying's illness earlier, she was afraid of pulling out some embarrassing words, so she diverted their attention: "Wait a minute, do you really want to fight?" If I really wanted to, I went and begged my sister-in-law to arrange it. ”
"Of course it's true, we've got all the clothes with us." Tang Yuan looked at Brother Xu Ying with anticipation: "Brother Ying, are you fighting?" If you want to fight, I'll go and get someone to come. "She is different from several other girls, she is a close friend with Brother Xu Ying, of course she knows why Brother Xu Ying is sick and does not go out to see guests.
After being locked in the house for half a year, Brother Xu Ying's hands and feet were also a little itchy, but when he saw the restrained Brother Li and the ladies in the distance who fell on her sisters from time to time, he changed his mind again and said with a smile: "I didn't bring any clothes." ”
Tang Yuan saw that she didn't refuse directly, so she said, "Cough! It's just a set of clothes, your size is about the same as your big sister, ask her for a set, as for Brother Li, it's up to Yuyu to think about it. ”
Wu Yuyu agreed: "That's no problem, it's on me." ”
Brother Li hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't." "She is usually tightly restrained, but she has occasionally watched one or two ball games, where do she dare to be ugly?
The other girls all talked nonsense, "Don't spoil the fun!" It's going to be a game or two. The other said, "What are you afraid of, my sister will teach you." The remaining one also said, "If you don't agree, you look down on us." ”
Brother Li's sisters of the same age who are familiar with each other on weekdays are the two sisters in the family and the cousins of the uncle's family, how have they ever seen such a battle? She was quiet and shy and clumsy, afraid of being rude and offending people, so she grabbed Brother Sakura's hand tightly in embarrassment and looked at her pleadingly.
Brother Ying clenched his sister's hand, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What, this is bullying my little sister's tender and shy face." Today is not the time, if you really want to fight, make an appointment to fight in a few days, and see if I don't clean you up. "She really wanted to have a good time, but she couldn't do it today. No matter how lenient this world is for women, it can't be relaxed, that is, in the eyes of everyone, the Cui family father and son should be punished, and in the early years, she and Cui Cheng's family affairs were also unlucky, but they were also very demanding of her. If she behaves too sadly, she will find an institution to trap Xu Heng, and if she behaves like nothing serious, people will say that she is unkind, how can the Xu family's tutor be. If she really dares to play such a game in public today, she is afraid that anything will come out and implicate Brother Xiaoli's marriage, is it not a sin?
Tang Yuan listened to her tone and knew that she would not fight today, nor would she be reluctant: "It's okay, it's just right to miss your illness, and spare you." But you are not allowed to go, you have to watch us play. ”
This is a trivial matter, how could Brother Xu Ying not allow it? He responded with a smile, and introduced those people to Brother Pear one by one, asking them to take care of Brother Pear more in the future. The custom of going to Beijing, when girls are a little older, they always have to follow their mothers out to be guests a few times, learn to communicate with others, and also let others see the benefits of their talents and prepare for finding their in-laws. The little girls looked at Brother Li's shy appearance and understood what was going on, so they all responded boldly, gently pulled Brother Li to talk, and teased her.
Brother Li gradually relaxed, although he didn't talk and laugh with them immediately, but he also asked and answered. The guests came in an endless stream, and Wu Yuyu needed to greet her, so Wu Yuyu suggested: "You might as well go to the painting boat to play first, I will let someone bring you some food and drink, and when I greet the other guests, I will go to my sister-in-law to intercede, let my eldest brother and them leave early, and let us have fun." ”
Tang Yuan brought a little hope: "Then you must do this." ”
Wu Yuyu responded with a smile, and asked someone to lead a few of them to a painting boat on the lake to settle them properly, and went to greet the other guests without mentioning it.
Brother Li is also an official eunuch in the end, the daughter of a scholarly family, she has the bearing, knowledge and upbringing, and her temperament is not withdrawn, and she will soon be able to talk to her companions. Seeing this, Tang Yuan called Brother Ying to the side and whispered: "I know you are uncomfortable, but I am not an outsider, why don't you even want to see me?" ”
Brother Xu Ying whispered: "Of course I also want to talk to you, but if I see you but refuse to see others, isn't it embarrassing?" But I can see everyone, and I really don't have that mood. ”
Tang Yuan saw her say this with her eyes lowered, and then thought that she had known Cui Cheng before, so she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and took Brother Ying's hand and smiled: "No, Ji Tai is coming!" If I say something that should not be said, the Cui family is rebellious, and the crime should be punished, and you can't still guard it for him. ”
Brother Xu Ying smiled and held her hand: "Your good thing is coming, isn't it?" ”
Tang Yuan's cheeks turned red and shook off her hand: "Don't tell me this!" After saying that, he pulled Brother Xu Ying over: "Okay, I have been separated from them for a long time, and I have to make up for it." Don't patronize the two of us talking, snubbing them again, and then having something to say later. ”
When everyone saw her two coming, they all laughed: "Finished whispering? ”
Tang Yuan said confidently: "Where are you whispering, I'm scolding her for all of us!" ”
Everyone laughed a few words, picked up the words just now, and said, "I heard that there are people from the princess's mansion and the king's mansion today, and I don't know which mansion they came." ”
The girl from the Shaoqing family of Honglu Temple smiled quietly: "I heard that Princess Changle will come, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Tang Yuan said: "Who does he care about, it's not the same charter?" ”
While everyone was discussing, they saw that Wu Yuyu brought a group of girls in the mood for love over. The group of girls was different from the girls on their side, they were dressed gorgeously and dazzlingly, and their expressions were even more arrogant.
