The home of the Ministry of Rites is not large, of course, this is relative to Prince Heng's mansion; But it is more atmospheric than Prince Heng's mansion.

Yi Qing and others were invited to participate in the poetry appreciation hosted by Xiao Keying, the daughter of Xiao Gangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and naturally entered from the side courtyard to avoid men.

There are a lot of people who come, but Yiqing doesn't know each other, they are all the standard configuration of a young lady and a few girls, Xiao Taohong said in a low voice: "Second Miss, Aunt Min said yesterday that the invitees this time are all important ministers of the court and the daughters of the noble literati, and they specially told us to be careful when we speak!" ”

Yilan looked at Chunxing, who was eager to try, and secretly mentioned: "Yes, let's be together for a while, don't run around, so as not to have a lot of right and wrong!" ”

Yiqing held the greeting post in her hand and handed it to the concierge, the concierge had a very lively look in her eyes, and said loudly: "Xinglin Zhangfu - Miss Wang Yilan and Miss Wang Yiqing have arrived!" ”

After the little girl finished speaking, he saw a richly dressed, dignified and generous woman come forward, and said with a smile: "Oops! Our talented girl has arrived! I'm so splendid! "It turns out that this is Xiao Keying.

Xiao Gangyan is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because of his responsibilities, he has always been square and well-behaved, and he is as his name suggests - he looks very angular! Xiao Keying, as the eldest daughter of Di, has fully inherited the characteristics of her father, although she lacks the soft appearance of a little daughter, but she is very heroic and dignified!

Xiao Keying had long heard about the past of the two sisters, so she didn't comment on Yiqing's face towel.

Everyone saluted together - Xiao Keying is the daughter of the county lord, so the number of gifts cannot be lost.

Xiao Keying hurriedly stopped and said politely: "Sisters, don't kill me!" You are a miracle doctor and a talented woman, I can't afford it! ”

Everyone followed Xiao Keying into the back garden.

The garden was specially arranged for the poetry party: it was the end of summer, the grass and trees in the garden were still lush, and the flowers of various colors were stacked on top of each other, which was the result of the gardener's diligent care! The lotus flowers in the garden are still in full bloom, although not as prosperous as midsummer, but there is a unique flavor, there is a small pavilion in the middle of the pond, the shadow is standing in the lotus pond, and the circle of the pond is the tables and chairs that are placed in a staggered manner, and the table top is a variety of melons and fruits.

The ladies were not seated, but were now gathered in groups and scattered in the garden.

"Sisters, come and meet the talented girls in our capital!" Xiao Keying greeted everyone happily, and explained considerately: "The two sisters rarely attend our party, let me introduce you to ......"

"This is Li Ge's hometown daughter - Li Shishi!"

"Hello Miss Li!" Yi Qing and his party saluted.

Li Shishi replied shyly: "I have heard of your two names, but I finally got to see you today!" What happened to Brother Bao in the end?! ”

"This is the daughter of General Zhao's family - Zhao Yanyan!"

"Hello Miss Zhao!"

……

Xiao Keying suddenly whispered: "I didn't invite her!" Oh, I'm talking about the eldest princess in front of me - Wang Lurao! But the other party has already come, and as the main family, he has to go to socialize, "Two sisters, you go to Shishi first, she is very talkative, and I will come later!" ”

Master Li can't ask for it! Along the way, they chatted with Yilan about the plot of the Stone Record, and Yiqing couldn't cry or laugh.

"Sister Yiqing, you should hurry up and finish writing down the remaining stones! Zhao Yanyan and I are in a hurry! Li Shishi said coquettishly,

"That's it! Yan Yan has nothing to do, so she let her brother harass the five girls in Qingyutang, oh, she seems to be here today! "The girl who spoke was Meng Qianfan, and her father was a lieutenant under General Zhao, and he was good friends with General Zhao.

Zhao Yanyan is the youngest, and she is used to the blows of the two big sisters on weekdays, but today when she saw Yiqing, who was younger than herself, she tried her best to defend and said: "How can you say such an exaggeration!" Besides, it's not what you ordered, saying that I'm young and not afraid of losing face! After speaking, he looked like he was at home, which made everyone laugh.

"I think I heard you looking for me?" Ye Linglong jumped out of nowhere and was so frightened that Zhao Yanyan was startled, and hurriedly covered her chest and said exaggeratedly: "Oops! Five, girl, you're scared to death...... Quick, they're bullying me, you're going to have my back! The stone is written out, and you are not allowed to give them two! ”

Ye Linglong couldn't help but laugh, as if she was used to this kind of fighting, and said, "Miss Yilan, Miss Yiqing, you are here, just to clean up this group of monkeys!" ”

"The book of splashing monkeys is also out?!" Zhao Yanyan then asked, "Is it the Journey to the West of this fairy beauty next to you?!" ”

A group of bookworms looked at the two sisters in unison, and Ye Linglong hurriedly explained: "No, no! Yanyan, she came to my house to see it, and no one else has seen it...... Wait for Miss Yilan to write some more and publish it! ”

"Hahahaha......"

After a while, the maids brought tea to each young lady in a delicate teapot and invited her to a seat.

Yilan was caught by a few bookworms to ask about the storyline, Ye Linglong, as a businessman with a special status, consciously went to help the main family Xiao Keying, leaving Zhao Yanyan An'an sitting next to Yiqing, and Chunxing next to her.

After the ladies were seated, Yiqing noticed a number of middle-aged women sitting faintly on the other side of the courtyard.

Zhao Yanyan followed Yiqing's gaze and explained: "Sister, those are all the ladies of various provinces, sister, you don't know yet, right?" The autumn test is about to start, and the ladies and ladies have to come in advance to find out about these talents! ”

"Detectives? But I didn't see a talent! Chunxing asked, she finally seized an opportunity to interject.

Zhao Yanyan was stunned, looked at Chun Xing suspiciously, and Yi Qing hurriedly explained: "This is my wife's cousin, who came with me and my sister today." ”

Although Chun Xing is Mrs. Chun's own sister, in the end, Mrs. Chun's identity is just a concubine, and it is still very inappropriate to get a serious occasion, so Yi Qing did not use Mrs. Chun's name to introduce Chun Xing.

But Chunxing is a peasant girl from a small family after all, where has she seen a big scene, seeing that Yiqing has talked far away about her relationship with Zhang's house, she interjected and emphasized: "Not only that, my two sisters are the wives of the house!" Also, where are the talented people you are talking about? ”

Zhao Yanyan frowned and stopped answering, the ladies and ladies in the capital are the most proficient in the secrets of the furniture of the major families, and there are such miracle doctors and talented women in the Zhang Mansion, and the various masters of the Zhang Mansion will naturally be understood by those who have a heart, this Chunxing is a bit troublesome......

Seeing this, Yiqing was busy pulling Chunxing, who was looking around, and said: "What are you doing with the talents, naturally the ladies above are worried, let's just take care of our own food and drink!" I didn't even eat breakfast for the roast whole sheep in the house! If it doesn't taste good, it won't come out in the future......"

Zhao Yanyan was amused by Yiqing's greedy appearance, and waited for Yiqing's little peach to hit the railroad while the fire was hot: "Second Miss, you don't have an empty stomach, you can't get up in the morning!" For this reason, the slave and maid shouted many times! ”

Yiqing deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and made Zhao Yanyan, who was born as a military general, laugh heartily.

Li Shishi and the others heard the excitement here, and joined in to discuss, and the young ladies were on the side, and Chun Xing couldn't speak, and hurriedly twisted her handkerchief.

“…… I heard that the shallot from the Western Regions is delicious with it, but I don't know if there is one today? Yi Qing recalled eating roast lamb shank in Mongolia in her previous life, when she had the first close contact with Dr. Shuai, Dr. Shuai personally taught her how to eat, and this time she taught this method to everyone.

"It's really exquisite! I've heard my father talk about it! He's just coming back from there! I also brought a lot of the round shallots you mentioned! My sister likes me to let people send you some, you don't have to dislike the taste! It was Meng Qianfan who answered, who looked very delicate and had the taste of a Jiangnan woman.

As he was talking, he saw Xiao Keying happily walking to the small pavilion in the pond and said, "Thank you ladies and ladies for patronizing this poetry meeting, Keying can't help but be grateful!" I also hope that all the talented women will not hesitate to write treasures, and the most popular poems can win a set of exquisite ivory tea sets! Please join us! In addition, the talents of our Daqing Kingdom are also talking about poetry in the front yard, do you want to compare poetry with the talents? Then let's get to work! ”

It's all completely separated! This is also for fear that if something goes wrong, it will affect the reputation of the daughters.

Chun Xing was slightly disappointed in her heart.

Yiqing covered her face with her wide sleeves, and then half-lifted her face towel and drank tea: This kind of poetry appreciation is really boring, I have seen the cultural treasures of China for 5,000 years, how can I still see the disease-free moaning of these boudoir ladies? !

Zhao Yanyan looked at Yiqing, who was unable to move, and said cautiously: "It is rumored that Yiqing's sister's face injury is caused by external forces, and my family has an ancestral medicine for trauma, so I will send it to my sister when I go back - maybe it will work!" Your sister is so beautiful! If you are cured, you will be no worse than her! ”

Except for Yiqing, who was leisurely drinking water, and Zhao Yanyan, who didn't care about poetry, everyone else was seriously contemplating.

Chunxing is no exception! Emotions brewed with his eyes closed, and he no longer paid attention to the crowd.

Zhao Yanyan saw that Chun Xingting no longer paid attention to herself, and instead whispered to Yi Qing: "Those ladies are all here to find daughters-in-law for their sons, so they are all hidden and hidden!" Sister Keying is the daughter-in-law in their hearts, but there are more monks and less porridge...... We don't ask for anything else, we just hope that Sister Ke Ying will marry a lover! ”

Li Shishi looked at a few people curiously and said, "Don't chat!" If you don't want to write, you have to pretend! Don't discredit Sister Ke Ying! If she is seen by Sister Keying's future mother-in-law, it won't be good! ”

Yiqing thought about it and decided that it would be better not to write, in case she wrote the same poem as Ye Qingmei, it would be too embarrassing!
