Chapter 129: Passing Flowers and Bowing, Old Grievances and New Hatreds
On this day, the lazy autumn sun, in the end, did not break through the thick clouds in the anticipation of everyone, although the fog dispersed, the sky has been gloomy, so in the Xiapu Garden, although the fresh grass cultivated in the greenhouse is trying to create a hundred flowers blooming, but in the end it does not make people feel the brightness of the spring flowers, even so, the atmosphere on the field at this time is still in full swing, and it has not been affected.
The second round of "passing the flower and hitting the bow" has ended, the first round by the Lang Jun down, the loser in the winner's deliberate trouble, some people are forced to learn the little guy who advocates the grease and whitewash singing music, and there are also the "Yashi" who are polite and industrious to dance the sword in public, willing to accept defeat, Lang Jun is finally let go of his arms, although it causes "laughter" endlessly, they still maintain their demeanor.
Then it was the turn of the ladies and gentlemen, and thinking of the difficulties they might face, the fair ladies were all full of energy.
Yijing was very "lucky", and passed the palace flower in his hand to his side without danger, but Dong Yin didn't have time to hand the flower out, and the drum stopped abruptly.
Whether it is intentional or unintentional, Yijing has no judgment for the time being, and the maid who beats the drum horizontally and vertically is from her own family.
In addition, Siniang also won the lottery, and the draw was with Dong Yin.
Erniang wants to show her style, although she is not proficient in the four arts, her bowing skills are still commendable, and the premise is that her teammates do not make her look unpleasant. It's a pity that today she grinded and grinded, the drum beat just didn't stop, so she had to throw the flower to Siniang in annoyance, because Erniang was too long, Siniang only held the palace flower in her hand, and there was silence all around.
Therefore, the faces of Er Niang and Si Niang were a little annoyed.
In addition, Jin Liuniang and several officials' daughters won the lottery, as the opponents of Dong Yin and Siniang and others, they lost very "happy".
The little ladies are not as "insidious" as Lang Jun, and they are not too difficult, plus Dong Yin and Siniang are kind-hearted people, but they are just letting Jin Liuniang and others either stroke the piano music, or endow them with poems, and the more narrow is the daughter of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Industry, so that the daughter of the Cheng family of Taichang Temple can show her singing voice.
It must be known that nowadays, although it is not uncommon for noblewomen to show their talents, they are still limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and singing and dancing are all offered by the servants and maids, not the "program" of everyone's ladies.
can "be willing to gamble and lose", even if it is difficult, you can't be angry, otherwise you will have to end up with a "small belly chicken intestines" evaluation in front of everyone's eyes.
The daughter of the Cheng family of Taichang Temple is also clever, playing and singing a song "Man Jianghong", sonorous and high-pitched music, and tactful and clear singing voice, not only is not vulgar, but won everyone's high-fives.
But then, the winner who made the request and the loser who was ordered to show his talent were a pair of "old enemies" that were somewhat over-knotted.
When the lady of the household Shangshu family smiled meaningfully, and looked at Xiao Aman, the daughter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with a slanted eye out of the corner of her eyes, Erniang's eyes couldn't help but shine, and she reached out and poked Yijing's shoulder, and said maliciously: "There is a good show." The ladies thought so, and they all looked at the two opposite each other in the field with great interest.
When a little apprehension finally appeared on Xiao's Aman's face, the lady of the Hubu Shangshu family was satisfied, and lightly opened her lips: "I knew that Aman was not good at the piano, and it was not difficult for me to be for you, so let's dance a song for us." ”
- What an "empathetic" proposal it was, so much so that the crowd boiled.
Many Langjun high-fived and applauded, and the coaxing of "Shocking Dance", "Linbo Step" and "Thin Waist Soft" came and went, these are all the best tricks of the brothel girls, of course, the court dancers have naturally learned these soul-stirring dances.
Yijing looked at Xiao Aman standing alone with sympathy, her goose egg face was still slightly sweaty, and she was helpless in the face of the surrounding schadenfreude and ardent hope, her eyebrows were slightly raised, obviously very embarrassed.
"It's too much." Dong Yin, who had just returned to the table, was obviously very sympathetic to Aman's situation.
Zhen Mo said with a smile: "Ah Yin doesn't know, these two are already a little too knotted, and the Jin family originally intended to marry Shangshufu, but Jin Qilang and Ah Man are aunts and cousins, playing little childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, so this time is even more needle-pointed." "A warm-hearted and well-hearted Dong Yin, who just returned to Kyoto and didn't know how to entangle and contradict him, explained.
Yijing noticed that when Zhen Mo said this, the meaning oozing from her eyes was profound.
The first few grandchildren in front of Jin Xiang have already married, and the next few are still young, only Qilang is just the right age, and the little lady of Shangshu Mansion is the elders, but Aman is Qilang's own beloved, a pair of love rivals, and old grudges, no wonder so.
Zhen Mo, who understands the actions of the lady of Shangshufu very well, must have bad intentions towards her "rival in love" Dong Yin.
Yijing smiled slightly, did not interject, his eyes were slightly sideways, looking at the east side of the Lang Jun's seat, secretly wondering if Brother Feng would find it boring on such an occasion, but he saw that he was slightly leaning over, with a light smile on the corner of his lips, and what to say to Jin Qilang, Jin Qilang first bowed his head frequently, as if full of gratitude, but suddenly raised two sharp eyes, hatefully stabbed this side - of course, this fierce malice was not towards Yijing, but behind her, who was proudly seated, ready to see Xiao's Aman's jokes about the daughter of Shangshufu.
Yu Feng had long known that the Jin Mansion wanted to marry the Shangshu Mansion.
Han Shangshu was originally from a family, but the wife he married was a noble daughter who was like a fake, therefore, in the competition between Jin Xiang and Qin Xiang, he was in a relatively neutral position, and the importance of the position of the head of the household department is obvious to all, Jin Xiang's initial idea was to marry a daughter to go to the Han family, but the little Langjun of Shangshu Mansion was talented, and he was coveted by the Beijing nobles early, and Han Shangshu was also quite a bit of a backbone, although he was polite to Jin Xiang on the surface, but he was not as servile and humble as others, he couldn't look down on the pampering and coquettishness of the little ladies of Jinfu, and he politely declined.
It's just that Han Shangshu has only one daughter, who was raised like stars and moons when she was young, and she was also a spoiled and coquettish brutal daughter, born with high eyes, and even "laypeople" couldn't see it, but she only had a love for Jinfu Qilang.
Jin Xiang turned to the second, wanting to match the marriage between Qilang and Han Niangzi, but Han Shangshu was still hesitant and did not agree.
When I was also thinking about the political situation.
At present, many courtiers have figured out the intentions of the saints, but they are not sure whether they will win or lose, and at this juncture, of course, Jin Xiang must try his best to win Han Shangshu.
One more supporter, one more help, not to mention Shangshu, who is in charge of the country's financial endowment.
However, Han Shangshu naturally understands the current situation, even if he treats his daughter as a palm jewel and obeys him for a thousand times, this decision is not so easy to make.
Yu Feng paid attention to Jin Qilang's marriage, and naturally inquired that he had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, and he originally planned how to help Jin Qilang and let the lovers eventually become dependents, so that Jin Xiang's plan to win over Han Shangshu was in vain, but he didn't know that Shangshu's daughter and Xiao's cousin had a holiday.
Shang Shu's daughter made it difficult in public, Jin Qilang immediately changed color, and even those ill-intentioned gentlemen coaxed aside, seeing that Xiao's Aman could not come to the stage, Jin Qilang was heartbroken, and gritted his teeth with hatred for his grandfather's favorite granddaughter-in-law.
Seeing this, Yu Feng's heart moved.
and Jin Qilang came up with an idea to "break the siege".
Qilang was inexplicably grateful, and glared fiercely at Shangshu Qianjin, who was still unaware, but got up and respectfully waved Yu Feng, and immediately threatened: "Cousin, don't be shy, it's better for me and my cousin to play the piano and help the fun, and answer the question with a song 'Send Recruits'." ”
When Yi Jing heard this, he praised it in his heart, although he guessed that it was Yu Feng's idea, but he didn't know why he was interested, and he couldn't help but look at someone sitting on the seat again, but this time, he met Yu Feng's gaze, and both of them smiled in unison.
According to legend, when he was still the former emperor of Ming Shengzong, there was a powerful general who was given the title of "Heavenly Prestige" by Ming Shengzong.
This Tianwei young man became famous, not because of the battle, but in a hunt, he rescued Sheng Zong from the claws of a mad tiger, holding a dagger, bravely fighting the tiger, and did not hesitate to send one of his arms into the tiger's mouth and cut its throat. Sheng Zong felt his life-saving grace, not only made him a marquis, but also married Princess Zhaoyuan, the pearl of his palm.
Later, the Turks were in turmoil, and Shengzong ordered Tianweihou to lead the troops to fight, when Tianweihou and Princess Zhaoyuan were newly married, and it was difficult to separate.
When the army was marching, Princess Zhaoyuan, in order to cheer for her husband, was outside the expedition gate, holding a golden mallet, beating the war drum and dancing, praying that the army would be invincible and her husband would return safely.
The world named this dance "sending the conscript", and this custom has also continued, but whenever there is an expedition and war, it is used to send the army.
Of course, the dancers are not princesses, but palace maikos.
However, because of the origin and special nature of this dance, it was not a loss of style when it was danced by everyone's ladies at this time, and it was ridiculed and compared with the maid maiko.
Although it is not simple to "send recruiters" to dance in style, but at present, Xiao's Aman only needs to respond to the question, but it is just to deal with it, just beat the drum with the beat of the piano sound, and add one or two postures of stretching out his arms and waist, although he will not win the applause of everyone, but it can be regarded as alleviating the embarrassment.
Xiao Aman was relieved.
Shang Shu's daughter was changing, gritting her teeth, the wind, frost and sword were all in her eyes, and she was close to the pair of people on the field with a piano and a dance, and the coldness exuded from her body was like a thousand-year-old poisonous snake, "hissing" and spitting out the cold.
The word "jealousy" can really make people lose their minds.
Yijing couldn't help but look at Zhen Mo - she was smiling eagerly on her face, and asked the maid on the side to present a few bowls of lotus seed white fungus soup to quench the thirst of the little ladies who had just finished a bow.
A real poisonous snake will not easily show its fangs.
Shangshu Qianjin, who has been provoked by jealousy, holds a bowl of delicious lotus seed white fungus soup, but eats the taste of yellow lotus, when he saw the pair of pianos on the field stop dancing, smiled at each other, and slapped the white porcelain lotus bowl on the case with a "snap", "shocked" that the maid's wrist trembled, and a bowl full of sweet soup splashed on Dong Yin's skirt.
The Wen lady was shocked, glared at her maid fiercely, and hurried to apologize to Dong Yin.
Zhen Mo was also hurriedly concerned, and asked in a loud voice if it was hot.
Yi Jing watched coldly, and the palm in his sleeve gradually clenched into a fist.
It's finally here!
The little trickery of the ladies did not attract much attention, only Yu Feng frowned slightly, and the already faint smile on the corner of his lips disappeared.
When he saw that Dong Yin was accompanied by two palace attendants to go out, but Yijing was still sitting on the seat, he sighed lightly - finally the girl listened to the advice and did not risk herself.
Yu Feng has been paying attention to the maids beside Zhen Mo.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the maid to withdraw from the field without a word.
Yu Feng glanced at Gray Du.
Gray Du understood, and left with the maid quietly.
Of course, Yi Jing also noticed the departure of the two, a little nervous, looking for Yu Feng's gaze.
Yu Feng bowed his head slightly at her, revealing a slightly calm signal, and Yi Jingfang slightly relaxed his clenched fists, and at this time, a new round of drumming began again, and the palace flowers were passed in the hands of the little ladies again.
