Chapter 933: Friends
The carriage stopped, and the mother-in-law of Wenfu said outside that the place had arrived, and asked Xie Wanrong to get off with An Sheng.
When the two maids heard the sound, they first lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and then went to help their young lady down.
In March, the spring is in full bloom, the peach blossoms are scorching, stretching from dozens of miles away, there is no end in sight, the breeze blows, the pink and white flowers fall with the wind, like a cloud brocade spread on the ground, a small mountain stream in the distance gurgles and flows, the surface of the stream is shallow and crimson, and flows slowly.
Xie Wanrong pointed to the peach forest and An Sheng not far away and said: "With such a grand scene, even if you just sit in it, it is not in vain. ”
Probably inherited the hobby of the Duchess of Wenguo, Xie Wanrong also likes delicate flowers very much, and has a lot of experience in serving flowers and plants.
But she came out to play today, so she naturally wouldn't tell An Sheng about any experience in raising flowers, just pull An Sheng to enjoy the scenery and have fun.
Xie Wanrong pulled An Sheng to the front, and a group of servants and guards followed closely, and when the two young ladies chose a place, the guards could build a swing rack, just the same, the peach tree is not tall, and the bearing capacity is not very good, so it is not suitable for the rope used to build the swing, so you have to find the poplar and willow trees near the water's edge.
Xie Wanrong had already asked these questions before going out, so she didn't choose to let the guards build a swing in the peach forest, but pointed to a big willow tree that she didn't want by the water's edge and asked them to set up a swing.
Seeing that Xie Wanrong had chosen a place to set up a swing, the servants immediately laid cloth towels in the open space nearby, put soft cushions, and then placed a few tea trays and other things, and when everything was ready, they came to invite the two young ladies to sit over.
After Xie Wanrong and An Sheng sat down, except for the two of them, who knelt on top of the cloth towel, the servants were all not far away, not close.
An Sheng brought two servant women from the Yongning Marquis Mansion, she didn't want to bring them, but the Xu family insisted that she take them, saying that she had to take them with her as a precautionary faux pas, but she didn't tell them to do anything, just told them to follow the servants of the Wen Mansion.
In fact, An Sheng understood what the Xu family had to do with two servant women for her, but she just looked at her with two more pairs of eyes, but she didn't care.
Now she really has nothing to be afraid of Xu, others are afraid of Xu, but she is not afraid, she just doesn't want to cause more trouble, otherwise it will be Xu, and it will be difficult to get any benefits from her.
There were a lot of people in the peach forest, and An Sheng and the others sat on the edge of the stream, and they could faintly hear the frolicking sound from the upstream, thinking that someone was bending the water on it.
She and Xie Wanrong are only two people, so naturally they can't do this, but it is also excellent for the two of them to sit and talk together.
An Sheng is not a person who likes to be lively, and Xie Wanrong is too, otherwise it would not be the only two of them who came out.
Soon, the swing was set up, and the servant woman came to tell her, Xie Wanrong waved at her and said that she knew, but she was not in a hurry to go over.
The atmosphere of this dynasty is much more open than the previous dynasty, if it is the previous dynasty, it is broken cloth to allow women to swing outside, even if they want to play, they have to be in their own mansion door, but this dynasty has a much more tolerant attitude towards women, plus the Qingming calendar has the habit of women going out to swing, so even if you see an unmarried woman swinging outside, no one is surprised.
Of course, there are also some sour Confucian students who will gossip, but no one will pay attention to it.
An Sheng and Xie Wanrong were sitting and eating tea, and they heard Xie Wanrong say: "There is a juju competition in the next morning, you can go with me, I heard my cousin say that Lu Shizi is also going to participate, how can you not go?" ”
On this day, not only women have to go out to swing, many men also have to gather to kick the bow, and some sons and daughters of noble families have a routine competition on this day, and the location is in the school field of the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing, which is not far from here.
Lu Zheng invited An Sheng once before, but An Sheng did not agree.
She didn't actually want to go, but considering that the Gu family's affairs had only happened for a short time, if she appeared in front of people with Lu Zheng, she was afraid that others would gossip about Lu Zheng, so she didn't agree.
Lu Zheng has always been reluctant to force her, so even if she didn't respond, Lu Zheng didn't say anything, and never mentioned it again.
I don't want Xie Wanrong to mention it again today.
An Sheng did not answer immediately.
Xie Wanrong was smart, seeing that An Sheng was embarrassed, after a little thought, he understood, so he hurriedly said: "That's what I said, if you don't want to go, it's nothing, or I won't go, there is nothing to see in the Keju competition, let's talk and enjoy the flowers together, which is clean and interesting, this is the best." ”
As soon as An Sheng heard that Xie Wanrong had changed her tone so quickly, she knew that she was afraid that she had figured out something, so she deliberately said this again.
Ye Jingcheng has a juju competition every year, this is a very lively thing, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for another year, where does Xie Wanrong really don't want to go, obviously because she is afraid that she doesn't want to go, so she deliberately said this.
Xie Wanrong considered An Sheng, and An Sheng naturally also considered Xie Wanrong, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "I was a little uncomfortable before, so I said I wouldn't go, but it's good today, let's go and have a fun with you, just don't dislike me." ”
"Which one will hate you!" Xie Wanrong smiled when she heard this, and took a sip of An Sheng, "We can't wait for you to go together, especially Lu Shizi, if Lu Shizi knows that you are going, he will definitely be able to get the first name!" ”
She teased An Sheng, and An Sheng was not far behind, and immediately said to her, "Oh, he took the first place, so what can your cousin do?" ”
Xie Wanrong saw An Sheng's smile narrowly, her face was already red, and she was about to screw An Sheng, "Let you make fun of me, see that I don't tear your mouth." ”
An Sheng smiled while hiding, "You are too fierce, everyone is the most gentle and kind to you, I think they must have never seen you like this." ”
An Sheng said while avoiding Xie Wanrong's hand, and the two little sisters made a fuss for a while, tossing and sweating a little, and then stopped.
Xie Wanrong pinched An Sheng for a long time, but she was so tired that she couldn't do it, and she was panting next to An Sheng's shoulder.
An Sheng helped her while asking Qinghui to pour tea, and after the two drank a cup of tea, the heat dissipated.
After talking for a while, the two went to swing together.
The swing of the Wenfu guard frame is not high, I think it is afraid that it will be inconvenient for the two girls.
Because they were going to swing, the guards withdrew a little, and replaced them with a few servants and maids to guard the left and right, not only to protect the safety of the two young ladies, but also to help push the swings.
Xie Wanrong asked An Sheng to go up first, she came to push, An Sheng disagreed, she had to go up, Xie Wanrong couldn't screw An Sheng, so she had to get on the swing first and let An Sheng push her.
