Chapter 14: Encounters with the Dead
After only walking about a few dozen steps with the guide slave maid, they made peace with Ouyang Lan, but saw Ouyang Lan standing in the Narcissus Pavilion, watching a scene on the high platform in the pavilion from top to bottom, and there were also a few ladies around who were joining in the excitement, but they were not too close.
"County Lord, the Yellow Lady is here." The guide slave saluted in front of Ouyang Lan.
Ouyang Lan saw Lin Yun'er coming, and smiled from ear to ear, if it weren't for Yingge mentioning it on the side, I am afraid that she would be about to show her original cheerful temperament. "Shan'er, come and see, I've never seen such a magical tweed, it still grows in the water, it's really a water fairy."
Lin Yun'er was born in the next generation, and she also has a little insight into what flowers, just like the narcissus in front of her, she has often seen it, so she doesn't feel unusual, but she can't bear Ouyang Lan's temperament, so she echoed a few words, "It's really not easy for narcissus to bloom in this season." ”
"Yes, it was carefully cultivated by a florist from the country of Posa." A lady in a green cardigan skirt on the side carefully echoed softly, and the people around listened to her echo and echoed one after another, as if she was afraid of losing her manners, Lin Yun'er turned her head and looked around, but saw that the ladies had dispersed, but only a few ladies were enjoying the flowers in the garden, and the two ladies of the Cui family had never appeared.
Pei Yufei walked up to Lin Yun'er and asked, "Shanniang, I don't know where Yurou is now?" "There is no lady of her age around, so she is a little lonely and helpless, and she is only in her early tens, and it is a good thing to be so straightforward and innocent. Lin Yun'er patiently replied to her, "Fang is still in the garden, now I'm afraid I'm going to other places, you wait, if she can't find you, she will definitely appear at the polo game in the afternoon." ”
Pei Yufei smiled and made her eyes crescent-shaped, and said happily, "Thank you Shanniang." ”
Several ladies around were very surprised, once upon a time they also knew Huang Zishan's temperament, although they were a little kind-hearted, but their vision was very high, and ordinary people never paid attention to it, Pei Jiuniang was born to Pei Shilang's concubine, although her mother was a concubine, but the concubine room was a concubine after all, and she couldn't change the fact that Pei Jiushu was born after all, and now Huang Zishan can talk to Pei Jiu like this, is it because she has changed her temperament?
In order to confirm her guess, one of the ladies took the initiative to step forward and say to Lin Yun'er, "Yellow lady, I haven't seen you for a few months, don't come unharmed." ”
Lin Yun'er looked at her, although the lady said that she was a little more polite, but there was some unpoliteness in the sentence, although she didn't know the identity of this person, but she was in the water pavilion, this lady clearly wanted to stand by Yang Yan's side, I am afraid that it is a person who is related to this Cui Mansion, Jade said, Cui Mansion only has two women, one is Cui Yun, who is the fourth in the clan born to Yang Yan, and the other is Cui Yurou, who was born to Yang Meiyu, the concubine she had just seen, so who is this person?
Ziwei knew that Lin Yun'er's memory was broken after what happened, so she whispered in her ear and said the identity of this person, she was the only daughter of Wu Fashu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, who had a marriage contract with Yang Meiyu's third son, Wu Miqin, the sixth in the clan.
Lin Yun'er owes herself, "Thank you Wu Liuniang for being considerate, Shan'er is inscribed." ”
Huang Zishan has really changed, although Wu Miqin is a concubine, but she is the only daughter of Wu Shilang, and she is also a figure with a face among the ladies in Beijing, although Huang Zishan is a little arrogant on weekdays, but she is very easy to be fooled, so she has never given her a look, but today, she deeply feels that Huang Zishan's attitude towards her is completely different, as if she is another stranger.
After thinking about it, something like that happened, and he was a person who had a marriage contract with Cui Fu, and it was unknown if he had a grudge in his heart.
Everyone saw that Wu Miqin had eaten a closed door, and they were not embarrassed to come forward to talk, but they didn't have to follow the county lord to echo a word.
After admiring the flowers for most of the day, I heard that the slaves and maids of Cuifu came to tell them that the ladies went to the backyard flower hall to eat, the flower hall was spacious, and the evening banquet was probably held here, and at noon it was just to fill the stomach at will, so everyone was also very casual.
The food is silent, and the whole lunch only hears the sound of chopsticks and bowls colliding, and does not hear any heavy sound of chewing, which also shows the good upbringing of each lady.
After the meal, everyone got up after rinsing their mouths, and the guide slave maid told him that the Cui Mansion had set up a seat on the stands in the front yard square, and the ladies rested for a while and then went to watch the polo game by themselves, and the polo game started half an hour later.
Ouyang Lan was an idle lord, so after lunch, he left those ladies and pulled Lin Yun'er to the front yard square, "I heard that that Lang Jun of the Shen family also came to participate in the polo match." ”
Shen Jialangjun was referring to Shen Yu, Lin Yun'er suddenly took her to see Dong Xiuyong that day, but she fell in love with Shen Jingzhi, didn't she still want to find a chivalrous man like Long Wu, why did she fall in love with such a weak teenager now? Could it be that the prosperous world of flowers has changed her?
Of course, Ouyang Lan didn't know what Lin Wan'er was thinking, and continued, "Somehow, this Shen family Wulang has been extremely diligent in his studies since he came back from the temple, as if he had fallen into some evil. Because Concubine Shen Shu is his aunt today, he is also qualified to enter Taixue, and now in Taixue, he is among the best. I saw that he was just drinking tea and painting, how could he be so powerful. I'm really curious. ”
Lin Yun'er smiled skillfully, "Shen Langjun is talented and intelligent, and he deserves to have such an achievement."
"Well, it's great to have talent." Ouyang Lan sighed.
Yingge smiled and said, "Why should the county lord be arrogant, no one can learn this talent for fooling around." ”
Saying this, several people laughed, out of the second door, is the front yard, there is a hall in the courtyard, this hall is extremely high, like the place where their own adults and officials discuss matters, it is also the place where they gather and eat, the hall is surrounded by a circle of corridors, across the corridor is a few flower halls, the flower hall is a platform in front of it, the platform walks through a corridor to the right is the stand, and below the stands this is the venue for today's polo match.
At this time, the flower hall was also full of people, Ouyang Lan stopped her steps, and she saw Shen Yu's figure from a distance, and Lin Yun'er saw her own yellow-haired chicken at a glance, but saw Huang Hui holding a wine jug in his hand to toast people one by one, as if he regarded this Cui Mansion as his own home, and the Lang Jun, who were full of wine and food, left the table early, and there were only a few Lang Jun who were not very drunk during the banquet who were trying to sober up, and Shen Yu was one of them. It's just that among these Langjun, Lin Yun'er accidentally found another person, he is still so elegant, but the bad smile on his lips has not changed.
Xie Lin, Xie Lanzhi.
But I saw that he had already shaved the beard off his face, and he looked much younger, wearing a dark gray round-necked robe, but he was wearing a moon-white crown on his head, looking extremely upright and gentlemanly.
Huang Hui seemed to notice Lin Yun'er and Ouyang Lan, and immediately put down the wine jug and trotted all the way to them.
When he came to Lin Yun'er, he casually saluted Ouyang Lan and said to Lin Yun'er, "That kid has been drugged by me to escape!" ”
When Lin Yun'er heard this, she had misunderstood Lin Tianze, she thought that Lin Tianze was hiding and drinking because she was upset, but she didn't expect that it was the yellow-haired chicken in front of her, she laughed lightly, "This is Cui Mansion, deliberately embarrassing the people in Cui Mansion, and Huang Mansion may not have any good fruits to eat in the future!" ”
Huang Hui felt very calm, "Who made him invincible?" It's no wonder to me! He showed an extremely gossipy look on his face, "The polo match starts in an hour, and you came out at this time to see a certain Langjun, right?" ”
Ouyang Lan said, "So what? Left and right are not just up to you. ”
The smile on Huang Hui's face was even worse, "I don't know which Lang Jun was lucky?" ”
"If you don't return to the table, those Lang Jun will be finished." Ouyang Lan said.
Huang Hui turned around at this time, but found that the banquet was empty, and there was only one Xie Lin, who was not drunk with a thousand cups, rinsed his mouth unhurriedly during the banquet, and got up unhurriedly, and there was no one around him except for the servants serving in the Cui Mansion.
Huang Hui sighed lightly, "That's it, let's scatter it, I'll take you to see the stage, there are many horses in Cuifu's captivity on the field, although they are worse than the thousands of horses of the prince of Pingxi, but they are even worse than ordinary horses. ”
As soon as he heard that it was a horse, Ouyang Lan suddenly completely forgot what he was doing this time, in addition to guarding Zhongshan, the king of Zhongshan also raised war horses for the dynasty, so Ouyang Lan was the county lord on horseback from the north, "Quick, take me to see the horse." ”
Originally, Huang Hui meant to lead them to the stands, but he didn't want Ouyang Lan to enter the venue directly.
Although this polo field is slightly smaller than the regular field, it is more than enough for these princes and nobles to hold a small polo game, the polo field is generally a square, with a total circumference of 1,000 steps, and three of the east, south, west and north are surrounded by low walls, and a row of high platforms are built on the north side as stands, on which there are several seats, and each side of the seats is driven by a huge oil-paper umbrella to protect it from the wind and sun.
The course is made of soil layer by layer to smash the flat, the ordinary horse farm is the dust under the hooves of the horses, and the horse farm in the general Cui's mansion is repeatedly cast with oil, which is worthy of the ground smooth as a stone and bright as a mirror. At both ends of the court, there is a short door, and the door is carved with red and colored, which is very eye-catching.
There is a fence in a corner on the south side of the course, and there are dozens of horses in the fence, and the insiders can see that they are all fine horses.
Ouyang Lan was so excited that she ran to the fence, and always picked a horse that she liked very much, it was a horse that was all black, but it looked extremely strong, Ouyang Lan got on the horse with a light car, raised the whip lightly, and galloped in the field.
At this moment, her skirt is flying, and the tails of her eyes can't be covered with splendor, which is where she was originally beautiful.
