Chapter 169: Autumn Banquet
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Little Doctor Girl: The Son of the World Comes to Propose Marriage!
Xi Ningyu and the others entered the chrysanthemum garden, and they didn't see Shang Tianyan and Shao Qi'er's children for a while, so they could only temporarily follow the people in Xi's mansion and swim slowly all the way.
Fortunately, this meeting is only the beginning of the hour, and the autumn banquet will not officially start until the end of the hour, so there is still nearly an hour to go, so Xi Ningyu is not in a hurry to find those two for the time being.
When Xi Ningyu followed the people of the Xi Mansion to wander aimlessly in the garden, Ling Xuanyi and Cangshu finally arrived in the imperial capital, and Fuqin, who had been staying in the imperial capital to preside over the affairs in the palace, naturally also received a message from Cangshu earlier.
After learning that Ling Xuanyi was injured on the bank of the Weishui River on his way back, he was already waiting outside the gate of the imperial capital in a hurry.
At this time, I saw Cangshu driving a carriage, followed by four or five scattered people behind the carriage, and all of them looked like they were all wearing them.
Fuqin lifted it in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, and when Cangshu stopped the carriage, he asked inside the car, "Master, are you okay?" β
"It's okay, the autumn banquet has already begun?"
Fuqin saw that Ling Xuanyi was still thinking about the autumn banquet, and he was extremely worried, but he couldn't help answering. Therefore, I can only tell the truth that the autumn banquet has begun, and all the women of each family have entered the chrysanthemum garden.
After Ling Xuanyi heard this, he paused slightly.
"Then go straight to the chrysanthemum garden!"
When Cangzhu and Fuqin heard this, they were both opposed, because they knew that Ling Xuanyi was injured at this time, and if he didn't seek medical attention as soon as possible, he was afraid that his injuries would worsen.
"Master, why don't we go back to the house first, and wait for the doctor to stabilize your injuries, and then we can go to Juyuan!"
Cangshu sat in the driver's seat and turned to the inside of the car.
"Don't be verbose, go directly to Juyuan, don't let me talk nonsense!"
Fuqin and Cangshu glanced at each other, and sighed helplessly, knowing Ling Xuanyi's temperament, they were not dissuading, but the worries in their hearts were infinitely spreading in their hearts.
At this time, it was close to the end of the hour, and seeing that the autumn banquet was about to begin, the women who walked around and watched at will also gathered in the middle of the chrysanthemum garden with their elders or sisters in the family.
As early as in the resting place set up in the chrysanthemum garden, there was a woman who was extremely neat and brightly dressed, and when she saw her personal maid walking quickly, she hurriedly asked, "Have you ever inquired about what you asked?" β
The maid who came to the woman's side also replied very respectfully: "Madam, I have already inquired.
The second lady of the Xi family, whom you asked the slave maid to ask, heard that she had already come, but the slave maid had not met her in the garden just now, so I don't know which one it was. β
After hearing this, the lady nodded slightly, and did not blame the maid.
"Got it, it's good to come. Anyway, the autumn banquet is about to start, and I will definitely see it in a while, and I am not in a hurry.
The second brother and younger siblings of the Jiang family have already arrived in the imperial capital, this girl still doesn't know, and she hasn't come to our Mu Mansion to see each other, and I don't know why! β
The lady who asked the maid to inquire about Xi Ningyu was Mu Hui's sister-in-law, the wife of Mu Jun, the son of the Mu family, Zhao, whose name was Ya.
Seeing that his wife muttered a lot, and he suddenly asked himself to inquire if there was a family member who came to Juyuan today, the maid was also very curious in her heart, who was the girl who asked her to send her to inquire.
However, as a subordinate, she didn't dare to ask casually, so she had to suppress the curiosity in her heart and stand aside.
With the arrival of the hour, the autumn banquet has officially begun.
The ceremonial official who presided over this year's autumn banquet briefly said a congratulatory speech, and then preached the so-called holy will of the Western Qin Emperor, and then officially announced the beginning of the autumn banquet.
The ladies of each province in the chrysanthemum garden are seated in order of dignity and family background.
Under the guidance of the Huang family, the people of the Xi family found their seats in the Xi Mansion and took their seats one after another.
Therefore, Xi Ningyu has never found Shang Tianyan and Shao Qi'er, so she can only sit in the seat with the Xi family at this moment.
Fortunately, there are many people, and she can't show anything.
The so-called autumn banquet is just a gathering of rich families and nobles, eating refreshments, talking about some gossip, and after waiting for a while, they gradually began to let the ladies who had prepared in various provinces come to the stage one by one to demonstrate.
Then the old ladies of the Houmen and the public family in the middle of the court made comments one by one to see whose talent was good and whose appearance was outstanding.
And those sons who have not yet married their wives are also watching the performances of various ladies in the courtyard specially set aside not far away, and give some guidance from time to time to evaluate the merits.
At this time, the person who performed on the field was a young lady from a second-class official in the DPRK. This woman's name is Pang Yun, sixteen years old, since she participated in the first autumn banquet last year, she has been unique in dance skills, and this year she has brought a new dance.
Flowing clouds and wide sleeves, swaying and rolling. Graceful posture, flexible and beautiful.
A wonderful face, changing his expression with the dance, not only outstanding dancing skills, but also with the appearance of disgust and joy, perfectly integrated into it.
Let people not only see a dance, but also see a wonderful beauty, that incomparable coquettishness.
After the song stopped dancing, Pang Yun had a faint layer of fragrant sweat on his forehead, and after giving a slight salute to the people around him, he floated and then retreated into the banquet.
Xi Ningyu didn't know how to dance, so when she saw the crowd around her clapping her palms, she couldn't stand still, so she didn't hit her palms lightly.
It's just that there is a touch of impatience on his face, and a look of boredom.
"I didn't expect to see each other for a year, and this Pang Yun girl's dancing skills have reached a higher level. There were a few dancers before, but according to the old body, it seems that they are not as good as the women of the Pang family! β
On the judging stage, an old woman said with a smile to several old sisters beside her.
"Yes, at first, I thought the previous ones were very good, but I didn't expect that after watching the dance skills of the Pang family girl, the previous ones were really-hey!"
"I also think I'm afraid that no one can beat the Pang family's girl in dance skills today, right?"
After a short wait, several old women on the stage gave the highest score for the dance so far.
This made the women who had already been on stage and those who were about to go on stage have some confidence in dancing sank.
It seems that this year's dance fell on Pang Fu's body again.
As Pang Yun retreated, several people who came to the stage one after another demonstrated their piano skills and music skills, although they also won a lot of applause, but compared to the dance of the Pang family, it was obviously weaker.
Until a woman in red, dressed in a strong suit, came to the stage.
The boudoirs sitting around, as well as the ladies and mothers of the families, all looked at the stage with a look of surprise on their faces.
Especially the old ladies who judged on the stage, they could already clearly see the twitching muscles on their faces.
"Isn't this the young lady of the Shang family, why is she dressed like this!"
"yes, she's- wouldn't it be ......"
As the discussion gradually rose around him, Xi Ningyu also looked at Shang Tianyan standing on the stage with a funny face at the moment.
Looking like that, it's clear that you just want to play a trick gun on stage!
As Ning Yu expected, Shang Qianyan then opened her mouth to say the program she was going to perform, and as soon as the words came out, the people on and off the stage couldn't cry or laugh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am still fascinated and I am attending the autumn banquet for the first time today, but I can't do those poems and songs, and I am not good at dancing and singing.
So I'm going to bring you a piece of rope gun skills that I learned before, even if you laugh at it! β
Shang Qianyan's performance can be regarded as something that has never been seen at the autumn banquet in the past, so after she finished performing the soft and rigid rope gun with a sassy rope gun, there was still silence all around.
Shang Tianyan, who had received the move, saw this, and his face was a little red, and he didn't know for a while whether it was better to step down directly or to be here.
"Papa~~Papa~~Papa~~ Papapa!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause from the seats under the stage, but this applause came from one place, so everyone present, including Shang Tianyan, looked at the source of the applause.
"Sister Shang is worthy of being the daughter of the gate, and the rope gun in one hand is very exciting, and there is really a bit of charm hidden in it.
I think that my Western Qin was originally a country founded by force, and there are many 'Golden Gun Phoenix' Queen Mao. There are also later wife of the Duke of Liao, 'Flying Ring Knife' Mrs. An and other female generals.
Especially Empress Mao, who was later the empress of the main palace of the founding emperor of Western Qin. Now, although I am safe in the four seas of Western Qin, I should not forget that when the war was chaotic, those female generals who abandoned women turned to Rong, so it is okay for women to practice martial arts! β
It was naturally Xi Ningyu who stood up and applauded, she saw that after Shang Tianyan accepted the rope gun, no one around cheered, and Shang Tianyan was even more hung on the spot, extremely embarrassed. So she was in a hurry and remembered the female generals when the Western Qin Dynasty was founded.
Therefore, he applauded vigorously, attracted the attention of everyone present, and said what he had just said, thus relieving Shang Tianyan's embarrassment.
In addition, Xi Ningyu pulled out the queen of the main palace of the founding emperor, so no one dared to say that it was inappropriate for Shang Tianyan to dance the rope gun today. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a big disrespectful hat button down tomorrow, after all, the queen of the founding monarch of Western Qin is a female general with great achievements.
Shang Tianyan naturally understood that Xi Ningyu was saving the scene for himself and relieving himself of embarrassment. So she glanced at Xi Ningyu with gratitude in her eyes, and then slowly stepped back from the stage and left calmly.
At this time, on the judging platform, the old ladies who reacted hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what this girl said is indeed good, I think my ancestors of the Western Qin Dynasty, since the founding of the country, there have been several outstanding female generals, and they have really grown ambition for our women, so today's Shang family girl, playing a rope gun, is also very reasonable, well, reasonable!" β
"Ahem! Yes, what the old sister said is reasonable, looking at it now, there are really few women who can do this kung fu, this is a unique move, wonderful.
It's justβ"
Then the one who spoke was a little embarrassed, after all, today's autumn banquet did not set up a piece of women's kung fu, and I didn't know what to do at this time.
Xi Ningyu saw that the old woman on the stage was embarrassed, and knew that this woman's display of martial arts was not within the scope of today's autumn banquet, so Xi Ningyu said here: "The old lady doesn't have to be embarrassed, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and horse hunting."
Although there is no martial arts, but among the people present, none of the women can compete with the monk's sister, so the rope gun is also one of the merits.
Moreover, since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty, large-scale activities have often been held, and many women have participated in them at that time, so it is not difficult to judge today! β
After Xi Ningyu's awakening, several old ladies on the stage immediately understood, and their eyes looking at Xi Ningyu were very kind.
After all, if they can't judge Shang Tianyan's performance just now today, then their judgments will be a bit embarrassing. This meeting Xi Ning Yu said, it can be said that he gave them a step down, how can he not be secretly grateful.
"Yes, yes, what this girl said is very true, in terms of merit, I am afraid that no one can compare to the girl of the Shang family today, and she deserves to be the first!"
Another old woman hurriedly opened her mouth, and Xi Ningyu saw that her goal had been achieved, so she also retreated silently.
After Shang Tianyan left the venue and Xi Ningyu also sat back in his seat, Juyuan's talent competition continued to begin.
And in a two-story attic next to the chrysanthemum garden, there was a half-open window, with a pale face Ling Xuanyi, who was smiling at Xi Ningyu, who had just sat back in his seat.
