Chapter 17: The Lilac Society of Fayuan Temple [2]
Dao Ran saw the constant laughter inside the curtain, which was more lively than outside the curtain. The drama of Guo Qingyuan smiled and came out with a play, and asked the master to order the play. Qin Daoran gave Lian Zhenyun the first order, and said with a smile: "What did the grandmothers order?" What are you laughing at? ”
The drama said with a smile: "Back to Uncle Qin's words, Grandma Li ordered "Nanke Dream" and "Court Discussion", Grandma Shen ordered "Palace of Eternal Life" and "Secret Oath", Grandma Qi ordered two plays, "Palace of Eternal Life" and "Suppression of Kou" and "Huansha Ji" and "Panhu". He covered his mouth and smiled: "Grandma Li is a talented woman, I only say that the fourteenth master's "You Palace" is very particular, and she is talking to Grandma Shen and Grandma Qi. ”
The fourteenth elder brother was drinking wine, and he was stunned when he heard the words, "I ordered it at random, so that they can see that they are exquisite?" Tell me, what's the point? ”
The drama of Sanqingyuan was still laughing, there was a sound at the gate of the courtyard, and someone came in to tell Di Fengru, "The big boss, the monk of Fayuan Temple came in to offer cut flowers for the grandpa and grandmother." Before the words fell, the ladies in the curtain laughed and made a mess, especially when someone said: "It should be the occasion, it is very appropriate." ”
The gentlemen were stunned at the table, and the actors of Sanqingyuan laughed so much that tears came out, and they covered their mouths and said: "Back to the words of the fourteenth master, Grandma Li said that the new little lady in charge of Caoshang took her to Fayuan Temple, and she brought her to visit Fayuan Temple, which is Miss Zhang Shengyu Yingying in the play." Grandma Qi said that although there is no shortage of matchmakers inside and outside here, there are too many. Grandma Shen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes laughing, "Grandma Shen is saying that there is only one monk missing, isn't the monk from Fayuan Temple coming?" ”
The fourteenth elder brother suddenly laughed, Qi Qiang laughed, and pulled Luo Shiqing, "Let me see, what is Changzhou Di Chang like?" He shouted again: "Quick, let the local monks of Fayuan Temple come in, so as not to miss the good things of Zhang Sheng in this courtyard." ”
Luo Shiqing and Meng Tiejian all laughed and scolded, and Di Fengru, Song Qing, and Lian Zhenyun were laughing and disgusting. The monk held a lacquered plate of new moon season and lilac flowers, and sent them respectfully, Di Feng ordered people to release the reward, and said with a smile: "Is there a guest in the release pond in the south?" Remember to clear the field in the afternoon.
”
"Back to Uncle Di's words, now it is the female dependents of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion who are releasing their lives, and the female dependents in Uncle Di's courtyard will be cleared in the afternoon. Koi fish and turtles are ready, just waiting for the grandmothers to have mercy on them. ”
Fu Yourong took a small lilac and pinned it to the placket for the fourteenth elder brother. The fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but smile when he heard the name of "Governor of Liangjiang", glanced at the curtain, and waved his hand, "Send it inside." ”
The monk held the flowers out of the curtain. The girls came out to pick it up. The Li family picked a red moon season. Shen Yuezhi picked a yellow moon season. Bi'er picked a bowl of big lilac flowers for Qi Su Niang and inserted them on the bun. Qi Su Niang smiled: "You also pick one and put it on." Little girls look best when they wear flowers. ”
Bi'er shook his head and smiled: "The guys outside haven't picked it yet." Where can the slave and maid pick first? And he pointed to the lilacs and fallen flowers all over the ground. There are these in there. Grandma is still afraid that the slave maid will not wear it? ”
Li smiled: "Where is this plate enough?" If you pick it, there will be no leftovers. Don't talk about them. Outside the aunts and grandmothers didn't have their turns. ”
Qi Su Niang also smiled: "These fallen flowers can also make incense tablets." Where can I get up? "Push Bier." Go and talk to the monk outside. Send two more plates. A plate for aunts and grandmothers. A plate for you. ”
The daughters-in-law and girls in the curtain smiled and thanked each other. Mianmian pulled Bier. said to Shen Yuezhi: "Grandma." The slave maid and Sister Biller went to pick flowers together. It would be better if there was. Take it back for grandma. ”
Shen Yuezhi smiled: "Take a closer look." Aunt Yue and Grandma love bright colors. There are large ones for her to pick. The rest of the land in this plate must not be to her liking. ”
Mianmian smiled and grinned, pulled Bi'er out of the curtain together, and said a few words to the monk who knew the guest. The monk hurriedly responded, beckoned the little monk who was waiting outside the courtyard gate to come in, and "lead the two girls to pick cut flowers in the flower room of the north courtyard, and wait for the students." ”
Weng Bai watched Bi'er come out of the curtain, his eyes immediately widened, seeing her follow the little monk out of the courtyard gate, Song Qingzheng in front of him was talking to Qin Daoran, he quietly retreated, but was looked at by Lian Dachuan behind Lian Zhenyun on the opposite side.
"He is really a stunned boy who is not afraid of death, and if he is caught by his wife, he will not be castrated as a eunuch." Lian Dachuan watched Weng Bai sneak out of the door and laughed quietly.
Even Dahe glanced at him, "I'm embarrassed to say that others, you yourself are not much better." ”
Lian Dachuan grinned and rolled his eyes, "Brother Dahe, if you let Bi'er talk about it, that kid will definitely be able to tell the eight generations of his ancestors who don't know it, let alone just the whereabouts of his father and mother......"
Lian Dahe smiled slightly, glanced at Lian Zhenyun, who was talking to Di Fengru, and said very softly: "Don't you see the big boss urging every day?" The things assigned by Mrs. can only be done by Mrs. and the girl, and she is in charge
Where to place? Qin Ba'er usually asks you to do land affairs, do you dare to be perfunctory like this? Son, you have been looking for Yangzhou City for three months. ”
Lian Dachuan nodded suddenly, and suddenly said confusedly: "Brother Dahe, what is the plan of the big boss?" I came here for four or five days, and every day I drank and feasted with these Caoshang masters and watched the play. Bai Lao Wu's matter is not big, but it is not small. ……”
Lian Dahe said indifferently: "The big boss is here to see the direction of the wind, and he always has to stay in this capital for a while, and now the court is in chaos, and the day is still early." As for Bai Lao Wu, "glanced at the female concubine behind the curtain, "If it weren't for the soft-hearted one and the second master pleaded for mercy, he would have died a long time ago." ”
The actors in Sanqingyuan put on makeup and sang "You Dian" in "The Legend of the West Chamber", Qi Su Niang listened to the soft voices of the Kunqu opera horns, and she was a little sleepy.
Over there, Li and Shen Yuezhi were laughing while listening to the play, and Li said: "Sister Shen, you listen to Zhang Sheng's singing of this sentence, 'It seems that there is no intention to fight, but it is ruthlessly annoyed. 'Sister Shen, do you still remember whose poem this sentence came from? ”
"Sister Li is testing me?" Shen Yuezhi chuckled: "It's clearly from the Song Dynasty Dongpo Gong's lyrics "Butterfly Loves Flowers", where is the poem." He whispered: "The laughter gradually faded into silence, but the amorous Wang Shifu was ruthlessly annoyed, and it was natural." ”
Li nodded again and again, with a smile on his face, "Wang Gongshi is a great talent, I remember that there is a wonderful sentence in the next paragraph that should be transformed from Zhu Shuzhen's poem" As he spoke, his eyes looked at Qi Su Niang.
Qi Su Niang knew about these poems in Yangzhou and avoided them, so as not to lose her dignity. This time, I was also quietly thinking about it, and I came out to enjoy the flowers and visit the garden, thinking that Bier could also mix it up.
Now that she heard the omen wrong, Bi'er was not around, but she was afraid that the Li family would come to ask her, so she quietly stood up while Shen Yuezhi opened her mouth to speak.
She looked left and right, lifted the curtain from the side, and walked out. The daughters-in-law of the Qi Mansion who came with her only thought that she was going to change her clothes, and when they saw that she had not summoned a waiter, no one stepped forward to follow.
Qi Su Niang walked to the sitting room and sat for a while, but still didn't see Bi'er and Mianmian come back. I heard Li asking inside, "Where is Sister Qi, let's join the poem and execute without her."
Qi Su Niang was startled, hurriedly left the room, and walked towards the side door. Everyone was listening to the play, only Song Qing saw Qi Suniang sneaking out of the side door, he smiled slightly, turned around and was about to talk to Qin Daoran, when he suddenly saw Weng Bai behind him disappearing, and he was immediately startled.
He suddenly remembered that the girl seemed to have gone to the flower room, and hurriedly confessed and changed her clothes, and hurried out of the courtyard.
Song Qing saw Qi Su Niang walking along the flower path under the lilac tree, heading south, remembering that the monk said that the flower house was in the north courtyard, thinking left and right, stomping his feet, still following Qi Su Niang. The more he values Weng Bai now, it is of great use, but he is afraid that Weng Bai will bump into her and suffer a big loss.
Qi Su Niang didn't know where Bi'er went to pick up flowers, just to avoid the poems, all the way to the flowers and willows, fluttering butterflies and flowers, leisurely and happy. Song Qing followed ten steps behind her, full of impatience, but helpless.
Seeing that there was a pool of blue waves in front of him, and the laughter of the women came from time to time, Song Qing knew that there was a female dependent in Beppu in front of him, so he immediately stopped.
Fortunately, Qi Su Niang saw that there were many people by the pool, and men and women were releasing them, so she hesitated slightly and retreated. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the slight sweat on her forehead, found a bluestone under the lilac tree, sat down with a handkerchief, and rested while gently fanning the white gauze fan.
Song Qing stood behind a lilac tree five steps away, looking at her and not going back immediately, sighed, saw a bush of peonies under the tree, and lowered his head to watch carefully, and suddenly heard a female voice sound, calling,
"Mrs. Chen."
Song Qing was startled, looked up, and saw a flag dress beauty walking over on the flower path by the pool, wearing eighteen inlaid red phoenixes wearing peony cheongsam, with high-soled Wufu holding longevity flag shoes on her feet, and a blue satin silver flat square inserted in the tall winged bun, the flat square was full of beaded flowers, a big red silk flower on the left side, and a red silk tie nearly two feet long hung down on the right side.
Song Qing saw the beauty of this flag girl, and couldn't help but look at it twice, her eyes fell on the left hand of this flag girl, only to see that she was holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and she was wearing a burnt gold jade ring on her index finger and ring finger, and a two-inch long silver filigree on her middle finger and little finger: a lang finger sleeve, and a red jade wrench on her thumb. Song Qing saw such a variety of richness, he couldn't see the appearance of his fingers clearly, and frowned, "Qiao is too ......"
Qi Su Niang stood up and said confusedly: "The girl is ......"
"The concubine met with her wife in Cining Palace the day before yesterday, do you remember it?" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, qidi, more chapters, support the author, support)
