Chapter 137: Either Singing or Acting
Today, Xia Yuanwai was quite angry, got up and washed up, went to the old lady's courtyard to say goodbye, gossiped a few words about the aftermath, and then began to hold a banquet at noon.
Chung Yeung Festival, according to custom, should be a family climbing high to avoid disasters. But the old lady is very old, in order to take care of her, she has been going to the long house all these years, and the family eats wine and admires chrysanthemums, and is happy.
This year, Xia Yuanwai invited all the people in the long room to come, first, for the festival, and secondly, to introduce Aunt Rou to everyone, which is a concubine ceremony.
Aunt Rou, he is proud in his heart, and he can't wait to show off and show off his charm.
He had already prepared chrysanthemum wine, red eggs, and dogwood yesterday. And because Aunt Rou likes chrysanthemums, she also specially ordered people to go out of the house and purchased many golden chrysanthemum potted plants back, decorating the entire summer mansion with a red yellow.
At the family banquet at noon, he also had an ingenious idea, and ordered the chef in the house to prepare a chrysanthemum banquet in response to the occasion. As the saying goes, "people are in good spirits when they are happy" is described in this way.
As soon as the carriage and horses of the big house arrived, Xia Yuanwai welcomed everyone in happily, kowtowed to the old lady, and greeted each other, and after a few words of greeting, he introduced Aunt Rou to everyone in the big house.
Xue's skin didn't smile, his face was reluctant, and the Shen family in the big house was happy.
Over the years, the wife in the second room has been peaceful, and she has never made waves, which makes her inevitably angry. Now it's rare to see Xue's eating deflated, the disgusting look of eating flies and not being able to swallow and spit out, makes her almost smile from ear to ear when she gloats.
Shen stepped forward, directly took off the most golden phoenix peony auspicious hairpin on his head, and generously handed it to Aunt Rou's hand: "The person who sent the letter yesterday had a strict mouth, so I didn't know to inform me in advance, and I should prepare a meeting gift as a sister-in-law." Now that I'm empty-handed, wouldn't I be picky about Aunt Rou? ”
Aunt Rou smiled softly: "You spoke too politely, in fact, it should be Xi Rou who went to visit you, but I feel that this status is humble and a little abrupt." ”
Shen was full of praise for Xi Rou up and down: "Looking at Aunt Rou's mouth, she knows that her family background is well-up, and she listens to the pleasant ironing." And the voice is the same as the yellow warbler out of the valley, how good. The women south of the Yellow River should be more gentle, unlike our northern women, who are all five big and three thick, and speak like pouring beans. ”
Aunt Rou pursed her lips and smiled: "That's because the sisters have a bold temperament, and they don't twist at all." ”
"Look, this clever mouth is so good at talking. Now, the second mansion is lively. Everything in this house is good, but it is a little colder, and wait until next year, Aunt Rou will hold a big fat boy for the second child, and she will be a companion for Brother Huan in the future! ”
Aunt Rou couldn't help blushing.
And Xue stood aside, his nose was almost crooked, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Xue Zhao rested enough, opened his eyes, and also came to him, and bowed his hands to several little brothers in the big house, and said a lot of New Year's greetings.
The big guy didn't want to see him, and even looked down on him, so at most he just smiled perfunctorily and looked away.
Xue Zhao was bored, stood aside and watched coldly as Aunt Rou and Shen sang and talked in harmony, stretching the corners of Xue's clothes: "You said that this woman is the daughter of the brother-in-law who brought back?" ”
Xue pursed his lips disdainfully: "What a daughter, it's just a girl who can't marry her master's family." ”
"You said she grew up in a nunnery?"
Xue nodded: "I heard your brother-in-law say yes." ”
Xue Zhao rubbed his chin and looked Aunt Rou up and down, just as Aunt Rou's eyes looked over, met his eyes, flickered twice, and also looked at him quietly, and then turned his face again to talk to Shen.
Xue Shi stretched out his hand and twisted him: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Naturally, it's a taste of it."
"What's the smell?" Xue snorted coldly: "Is it possible to be hooked by her smell?" ”
Xue Zhao lowered his head and leaned close to the root of Xue's ear: "This Aunt Rou is not simple, she is not an ordinary woman from a good family. ”
Xue couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Her eyes have been specially practiced, my brother and I have been in the Fengyue Field for so many years, I can tell it at a glance." Xue Zhao is categorical.
Xue Shi turned his head to look at Aunt Rou's eyes, only to feel as if he was carrying a bag of water, which was very expressive, and hooked the soul.
She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”
Xue Zhao whispered: "First of all, when this woman from a good family looks at a man, her eyes are shy, basically she just glances at it, or floats over, and immediately jumps away in a panic, not daring to stay on the man's face."
This aunt was also a little too bold, and instead of being shy to look at me, she looked me up and down unscrupulously. How could a woman who grew up in a nunnery have the guts?
Besides, this normal person's eyes are somewhat scattered, and he can't see things in one place. And the eye waves are more or less jerky, not like her eyes with autumn water, flowing smart, and with the smell of seduction, people at a glance, you feel that the eyes seem to have hooks, and your heart is pulled. ”
Xue Shi snorted disdainfully: "The head of the story is the Tao, as if it is true." That's the natural foxy appearance. ”
"No, no!" Xue Zhao said solemnly: "To give you an example, you should have heard the play, have you noticed the look in the eyes of the actor when he looked forward to the turnover?" ”
Xue Shi thought about it, it seemed that it was really a matter of a while, occasionally going to other mansions to listen to the play, often listening to those ladies whispering, which drama has a hooking eye, and even the eyes jumping in the eyes are plays.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xue Zhao swallowed his mouth and continued: "This play, the play of one body lies in the face, and the play of the face lies in the eyes, it is this look that is the most expressive." It is said that when they practiced singing, not only did they chant and sing, but even their eyes were deliberately trained.
At the beginning, I practiced this concentration energy, staring at the black dots the size of lice every day, and slowly looking at them to the size of a grinding disc.
Then staring at the noon sun can you practice the sharpness of this look. Then, it is time to practice flexibility, and every day the black eyes follow the pigeons in the sky.
Until finally, the master takes a cage of sparrows, asks her to count, counts them correctly, and then takes one and marks it on its paws, and lets them fly around the house. After an hour, you can recognize where the one is at a glance. At this time, that look is the real hook. ”
Xue Zhao explained in detail, and Xue Shi looked at Aunt Rou suspiciously: "You mean to say that Aunt Rou is singing?" ”
Xue Zhao snorted softly: "Either singing or acting, this ability to seduce people is definitely not brought by my mother's womb." Sister, just pay attention, look at this Aunt Rou's means of serving her brother-in-law, what my brother said is right. ”
"Impossible," Xue denied: "The master said that she was a ...... from the master's mansion"
Xue Zhao snorted lightly: "Isn't this something you understand?" The brother-in-law is afraid that he is nostalgic for the fireworks outside, and the sister in the photo is afraid that he will not be able to accommodate it at home when he brings it back, and she will not be able to gain a foothold if it is spread out, so she will talk nonsense.
In this way, you will hold her in the palm of your hand and look at her as a person. Anyway, no one will be serious, and go to Xiangfu County to verify. ”
Xue couldn't help but hiss: "If you say so, it's not impossible." When I turned around, I secretly asked the long-term entourage beside him to see what this vixen was about. If it really comes from the fireworks and willow lane, don't say that I, even the old lady can't tolerate it. ”
"You just listen to your brother, brother's eyes, you may not be able to look at anything else, but you can't look at a woman." Xue Zhao said triumphantly: "Looking at her waist and limbs, you can know that there are more men." ”
While speaking, it was not early, and Master Xia invited everyone to the table to taste the chrysanthemum banquet.
The eldest lady turned her face and greeted her son and daughter-in-law happily, and twisted her face: "Hey, where is Sister Zheng?" Where did it go? ”
The old lady said: "Shicai said that it was a little cold, so I went back to add clothes." But I've been gone for a long time, so I'll send someone over to urge me. ”
The eldest lady said "oh", and before she could turn around and give an order, Mrs. Li said, "Let Jiayin go." ”
Jiayin is the girl in Li's house, she was promoted by Li's family, and she made a room, and she has no name or point, she is a maid.
The eldest lady nodded, and Jia Yin took the order and went straight to the old lady's courtyard.
In the old lady's yard, Changjing was leaning on the acacia tree in the yard with all her heart, in a stupid daze.
A bunch of pods fell from the tree and fell to the ground, and the shriveled pods were already full of fruit.
Xue Xiuliang came in from outside the door, and immediately retracted his head when he saw her.
Changjing's eyes were sharp, and he immediately spotted him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xue Xiuliang, you stop for me." ”
Xue Xiuliang poked his head out of the room, looking impatient: "What to do?" ”
Changjing walked out in two steps, looked left and right, there was no one on all sides, and snorted coldly at Xue Xiuliang: "What are you doing here?" Come to her again to be courteous to her Xia Anzheng, isn't it? ”
Xue Xiuliang didn't want to answer, so he changed the topic directly: "Can you call Xia Anzheng by her name?" That's your master! ”
"Master?" Changjing sneered disdainfully: "Every day she looks high, and she reprimands people with a straight face at every turn, I naturally can't forget that she is the master and I am a slave." But young master, you also have to have self-knowledge, how can the daughter of the Zuo Shaoqing Mansion in Dali Temple be able to climb high as you, an idle prodigal? ”
"What nonsense? Who climbed? Xue Xiuliang dusted off the sleeves of his clothes: "Besides, you can't take care of Young Master Ben's affairs." Is your master in the house? ”
Changjing glanced back at the room, snorted lightly from the end of her nose, and said sourly: "Here, what are you talking about, what are you tired of, hey, people are really the body of the young lady, the life of the young lady, but after standing for a while, I can't stand it with a cool breeze." We deserve to be maids standing and drinking the cool breeze. ”
Xue Xiuliang ignored her anymore, raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard, but was pulled by Changjing: "I still have something to say." ”
