Chapter 22—The Women at the Great Banquet (3) (60 Additions)

Sister watched Dong Guan'er dance, pouted, "It's so far away, you can sing clearly, where can you see it clearly when you dance?" She calculated that her aunt and grandmother would definitely reward her, and she only cared about pleasing the masters. ”

Qi Su Niang looked at it and looked passable, and couldn't help laughing: "Fortunately, the floor over there is big enough, and the banquet is scattered, otherwise I really can't see it." ”

After a while, Dong Guan'er finished dancing, Naxiu upstairs applauded, seeing that she was going to come over to ask for a reward, Lianxiang smiled and said: "If Mrs. feels that she is still passable, please give her a decent face." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled: "Are you pulling people to give rewards to please your lord?" Rui'er and Sister Gui'er both laughed. Bi'er didn't need Qi Su Niang to speak, turned around and found a pair of gold and silver bracelets wrapped in silk and a woven gold rope from the baggage brought by the branches, and half a leaf also prepared three makeup satins and a pair of gold bead earrings.

Lian Xiang looked at the girls who came forward to reward the other five families, and chuckled: "This time, Dong Guan'er's dignity is no less than that of Bigfoot Chen Sanguan. ”

Sister Gui'er pouted behind her and said, "If it weren't for the aunt and grandmother pulling the lady to reward her, where would the two grandmothers in the government reward her?" When did the grandmother in the river pass judgment house ask her to sing again? ”

Qi Su Niang and Lian Xiang laughed in unison, Qi Su Niang turned her face away, and nodded with a smile to the two ladies of the Tong Judge, the Tong Prefect, and the Lady of the River Tong Judge to express her gratitude. The grandmothers in Sanfu all smiled in return.

Xu Erguan was still dressed in a man's decoration, with a big braid on his head, sitting in the Naxiu Building, blowing a song of Xiao Yin, and no one in the Linglong Shuanglou spoke quietly. After the song was finished, Qi Su Niang smiled: "It's really beautiful." He gave Bi'er a look, and Bi'er took a flat silver purse full of melon seed gold in his hand.

Rui'er looked at it and knew that the reward was heavier than Dong Guan'er's, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "Even if Miss Xu can't play the tune, Mrs. is afraid that she will also be rewarded."

Lianxiang burst out laughing. Half of the leaf took three pieces of makeup satin as usual. A pair of gold bead earrings. I went up with Bill to reward. Thenceforth. The grandmother of the same prefect, the grandmother of the Tongjufu Mansion, the grandma of the Tongjufu of the river and the grandmother of the Tongjuan Mansion and Xu Erguan were all rewarded. Xu Erguan's face is not small.

Qi Suniang watched Li Siqin clumsily and clumsily gave Xu Erguan a flower from a distance. I can't laugh at it. Turning his head and asking Lianxiang. "There is no one in front of the second master. Have you ever mentioned the matter of carrying Miss Xu and Miss Cao into the house? ”

Lian Xiang hesitated slightly. "Miss Xu is fine. The second master goes less on weekdays. She also found a way out. The second master favors Cao Sanniang. Recently, I have been going less for most of the year," I looked at Qi Su Niang. sighed. "Miss Cao is good. If you bring it in, you can only be a concubine. I want to tell the second master about family affairs. It's time to like it. I also want to ask the lady to talk to the second master. ”

Rui'er smiled: "Grandma is not in a hurry. Miss Cao has a cheerful temperament. and the second master is on the same road. The slave watched. The second master has her land in his heart. The second master doesn't talk much about these rules. If the lady lifts her up. Even if the second master wants her to marry her, it may not be impossible. ”

Qi Su Niang turned her head and looked at Rui'er with a smile. Holding her hand, he was about to speak. Sister Gui'er glanced at Rui'er on the side. "Sister Rui'er is very affectionate. If Cao Sanniang becomes the second grandmother in our house in the future. I'm afraid I'm 120,000 grateful to Sister Rui'er. Sister Rui'er has found a big backer......"

Rui just smiled. I didn't talk to her either. Qi Su Niang patted Rui'er's hand. Turn around and talk to Lianxiang. "Why hasn't there been any movement in the building over there for a long time?" Between words. I could hear the daughters-in-law and girls in the Gu Studio talking quietly. "Guys are going to play archery......"

Lian Xiang laughed, "After eating this half of the wine, they will also disperse, the Cheng family's building is good on this, look, scatter the banquet on both sides, and a stone's throw in the middle is enough, so as not to move the teachers to go downstairs to find the school field." ”

Qi Su Niang looked from a distance, and sure enough, she saw that the little guys were rearranging the seats, and the middle of the floor was empty from beginning to end. On the side of Linjiang, a red arrow target was erected, and he couldn't help laughing: "Are you tired of guessing boxing, orders, and poems?" Play this upside down. ”

Lian Xiang covered her mouth and smiled: "Those celebrities don't bother to guess boxing with these men, there are one or two hundred people in this building, and only one round of orders is a day, who is impatient?" As for the couplet poem "Looking at Qi Su Niang and smiling," and the gentlemen who generally refuse to join the poem, the building over there also accounted for three or four out of ten. ”

Rui'er and Sister Gui both laughed, and Qi Su Niang smiled and went to twist Lianxiang's mouth, "What's wrong with not being able to connect poems?" I can't remember exactly. Especially the line of poetry, there are a lot of rules, it is a little vulgar, take the nickname of the water character, but also have to sandwich a sentence in four miles, but also to the six talents, but also to string meaning, who knows what these messy things are......"

Not to mention Rui'er and Sister Gui'er, even Bi'er, Banye, and Ziding couldn't laugh well, Qi Su Niang was especially happy, "Fortunately, Bi'er can compose poems, a few days ago at the banquet in the salt merchant's mansion, I relied on her to get over, but I took several talented grandmothers with white eyes, and they all knew that I was cheating." ”

Lianxiang smiled and panted, "At the beginning, the ladies in Yangzhou City heard that Xinfutai had come to Xinfutai, and they all went to inquire about Mrs. Futai's preferences, and it was rumored all over the city that Mrs. Xinlai Difutai was a talented woman, and even the queen mother and the emperor praised her." Those grandmothers and ladies who like to form associations and compose poems are overjoyed, and they only say that they are the leader, and the women's poetry scene in Yangzhou should be more prosperous...... "Holding Qi Su Niang's arm," I was still wondering at the time, when I was waiting for you to recuperate, I only saw a few arithmetic books and a picture album in your room, when did I see you write poems? The second master only asked, did Lord Chen change his wife? Stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that came out of his eyes with a smile, "Sure enough, as soon as you come, in addition to talking to those talented girls who love to paint landscapes, the rest are for Bi'er to top." It's a good thing that you don't like to socialize and feast, otherwise, it's me, and I don't know how many times I've made poems for you......"

The two were laughing, and a golden gong sounded on the upper floor of Naxiu opposite, and one person from each of the twenty seats came to gamble on archery. Qi Su Niang was surprised to see that seven or eight of the ten arrows did not miss the target, "Yangzhou has a very prosperous literary style, and I didn't expect that the martial arts style is not weak, it is that Mr. Wei, who also looks like he shoots arrows." ”

Lianxiang was watching with relish, and when she heard the words, she glanced at Qi Su Niang, looked left and right, and said in her ear: "Always because of the martial arts of Yangzhou Shige when the Qing Dynasty was founded, the martial arts in Yangzhou City have not declined......" Qi Su Niang was shocked, she naturally heard about the ten days in Yangzhou, Lian Xiang moved away, and said with a smile: "It is our Futai Lord, and he is also both civil and military, I heard that he likes to gamble on weekdays and is better than poetry, so everyone naturally wants to hurry up and have fun." ”

Qi Su Niang watched Chen Yan stand up from the chair from a distance, bent his bow and held arrows, and said with a smile: "When I first met him, I only thought he was a dull student. Later, when I watched him and the Thirteenth Master riding horses and archery outside the Saiwai, I learned that the scholars entered the palace to learn, and the imperial archery was one of the six arts to be learned. It's also a shame that he likes to patrol rivers everywhere, and his body has always been strong. Tian Hunt is down, and a game like gambling and arrows can't be difficult for him. ”

While speaking, Chen Yan shot three arrows in a row, and there was a chaotic sound of golden gongs upstairs on Naxiu, and the sound of cheering was loud, Sister Gui'er was watching intently, and suddenly shouted softly, "All three arrows are hit." This time, the head seat took the lead. ”

Lianxiang smiled: "What are you afraid of? There is always a second round, and there are our masters and second masters in the second seat, is it possible that they can't beat the big men in the first seat? ”

Qi Su Niang looked at the first seat, except for Chen Yan, who was more than half a hundred years old, and immediately smiled, "What is Caizhuer?" It's rare to see you so excited. ”

"The rules of Yangzhou City, after twenty banquets and gambling arrows, and finally winning the crown, you can order a thin horse in Yangzhou City to redeem yourself with gambling money. The mothers in the private house can't shirk it, but they feel that it is a big face. Lian Xiang said with a smile: "I didn't say it in the past, this time I am afraid that the gambling money under each seat is more than one hundred taels, and the twenty seats are only two thousand taels. ”

Qi Su Niang laughed when she heard it, and she didn't know whether to praise the elegance of the city, or scold each other, and stared at the gentlemen over there to gamble on the outcome of the game.

The characters in Yangzhou City are really handsome, the first round of wins and losses came out, and seven of the twenty seats were all three arrows, so they had to bet on the second round.

"Push another one out than that?" Qi Su Niang asked quietly, "The first round was the second master, and this round is afraid that it will be your master's turn." ”

Before Lianxiang could answer, Sister Gui muttered: "It's not a good thing to get a lottery, the second master is not in a hurry, so the master naturally brought Dong Guan'er in." Rui'er pulled the sleeve of her shirt and silenced.

Qi Su Niang muttered: "There are ten people at a table, what benefit do the others get?" ”

Lianxiang said: "It's just to set up another table and let the redeemed thin horse kowtow to the masters." Few of the landlords upstairs over there cared about these coins, but they just wanted to have fun and get a lottery. ”

As he spoke, four seats had already gone up to shoot, and they were not as good as the first round, three of the four missed the target, and the remaining one was only next to each other, Lianxiang smiled: "Only the first seat, the second seat and the third seat did not shoot." The third seat is a strong rival, in addition to Mr. Wei, there is also Lord Cui, the head of Hebiao Qian, he is a military attaché, and he must be in the middle of the land. ”

Gu Yinglou was originally talking about it, it was very lively, and when the daughters-in-law and girls came up with trays and asked the grandmothers in each house to bet on their children, the women turned their heads and laughed.

Qi Su Niang's head seat lady, Lian Xiang naturally pressed Lian Zhenyun heavily, and the other eight salt merchants' wives, five of them pressed the third seat, Lian Xiang looked at Qi Su Niang and pressed the head seat of fifty taels of silver, and laughed very softly: "Lord Cui is a smuggling salt dealer, and his reputation is very big." Most of these general merchant wives give him face. ”

Seeing that Cui Hao was hit by all three arrows, Lian Zhenyun was only hit by two arrows, not to mention that Lianxiang, Rui'er, and Sister Gui were surprised, even Qi Su Niang shook her head again and again, "In such a game, the big boss will actually miss?" Lian Xiang watched Lian Zhenyun and Cui Hao salute each other, returned to their seats, and said boringly: "In this way, Caitouer is Master Cui." ”

Qi Su Niang was laughing at her for being addicted to gambling, and the second round of shooting on the first seat stood up, and there was an uproar on the two floors at the same time, and it was actually a sister who was on the field to shoot arrows.

Qi Su Niang laughed and said, "Who is that sister?" Can you shoot arrows? Suppressed all the gentlemen in the head seat? ”

Lian Xiang frowned, "It's too good at stealing the limelight, even if you hit the arrow, it's not a good thing." Qi Su Niang had never heard Lianxiang belittle others before, and today she didn't answer, and the tone of her speech was different from the past, and she felt strange, but Mrs. Wang next to her leaned over and said softly: "The concubine has heard that Su Gaosan is restless, and Lord Futai and our master are also used to her, so I don't know how to advance or retreat, and I should teach one or two." ”

Qi Su Niang listened quietly with a smile on her face, and turned her head to look at the sister carefully. Thin and tall, wearing a mud-gold arched orchid and a silver-red Luo skirt, his head is full of pearls and emeralds, and he looks very elegant from a distance. Somehow, although Qi Su Niang couldn't see her clearly, she saw her skirt at a glance, which was so red that it was dazzling, and the big red gold crested butterfly wore flowered high-bottomed embroidered shoes.

Qi Su Niang's pupils shrank suddenly, her whole body suddenly lost strength, and she leaned heavily on the back of the chair.

I don't know how long it took, she slowly turned her head, looked at Mrs. Wang, and smiled slightly, "Mrs. Wang said, it's time to teach a lesson or two." Mrs. Wang smiled lightly and turned her head to talk to Mrs. Cheng.

After Lianxiang heard her say this, she didn't dare to make a sound, just looked at her face, Rui'er and Sister Gui'er both held their breath, and the branches and half-leaves who were quietly laughing closed their mouths, but Bi'er remained silent

Qi Su Niang indifferently watched the sister take the bow and arrows and walk to the middle of the field, or because she was closer, the more Qi Su Niang could see the lichen ornaments on her body.

The silver-red phoenix-tailed Luo skirt with gold silk is a new item of Liu Ji's ready-to-wear shop at the entrance of Cuihua Street, Chen Yan took a fancy to this when he entered the door, and directly asked the guy to pack a piece Although she was too rich, she didn't make a sound, and she planned to wear it again during the New Year.

The long hairpin with burnt gold inlaid beads on her head and the short hairpin on her head were originally a pair, which was the first-class goods of Fengxiang Silver Building on Cuihua Street.

The eight treasures inlaid with beads on the bun, the dragon and tiger emerald claw ring on the neck, and the silver auspicious plaque on the chest are all fine things of Zhang Deqin, a time-honored brand on Cuihua Street. The total value of the dragon and tiger emerald ring is forty-eight taels of silver, although Chen Yan picked it for her, she made too much money and returned it. She still remembered that Chen Yan glanced at her with a smile and picked another chisel gold auspicious card for her. Qi Su Niang resisted the urge to raise her hand to take off the eight-treasure inlaid beaded flower on her head, stared at the big red gold crested butterfly on her feet and looked at the embroidered shoes with flowers and high and low heads for a long time, and finally slowly bowed and stood up.

As soon as the gold rang, the cheers of the gentlemen upstairs in Naxiu rang out, "In one arrow, Miss Su is a good archer......"

"Lord Futai is such a magic arrow, the red fan knows where it will be bad, and there are two arrows, which are also bound to hit......"

"Master Wang is so glamorous......"

Gu Ying was quiet upstairs, Qi Su Niang waved her hand to stop Bi'er who wanted to keep up, endured the urge to run away, and slowly walked to the staircase under the various eyes of the grandmothers in Yangzhou Mansion, and went down the stairs step by step.

The camphor wood heel of the big red gold crested butterfly wearing a high-bottomed embroidered shoe hits the newly lacquered sassafras wood floor slab one by one, making a soft sound of "click, click, ......". The ancient wooden ladder of the twelfth level seemed to never go far, and she walked down one level, and then another level, and then another level......

The hibiscus flower garden slowly appeared in front of her, and Qi Suniang stood on the stone steps by the wooden ladder, looking at the drunken hibiscus that was still elegant and white in the morning, and had turned a light red because it had passed noon. Qi Su Niang slowly walked to the edge of the flower garden, reached out and gently stroked the delicate light red petals of the drunken hibiscus flower, gently plucked off a piece, and used her fingernails to tear off layer after layer of flower skin.

Qi Su Niang lost the flower, slowly raised her head, and looked at Qiuyang, "After a while, it will turn crimson......
