Chapter Twenty-Three: Whose Flowers Fall
Since Wanhua and Ling's returned, Wanhua has been hiding in the house without seeing anyone. Shaohua was too lazy to be bored, and asked Chu He to dismantle the embroidered mandarin duck for her, Chu He hesitated, "Wu Niangzi, why don't you continue to embroider, this is more difficult than embroidery." "I knew that Shaohua would let her tear it down, so she wouldn't be so kind.
But Shaohua didn't care: "How do you embroider it, just remove it like this." The homework that my husband gave me, even if I can't finish it, is my own business. You didn't even ask, just took it, dare to love you as if you were a fifth lady? Chu He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say that he couldn't do it, looking at the mandarin ducks that he had worked hard to get out, he had to tear down all his face with tears and sorrows. To be a man of his word, I know that you are kind to me, but you can't trap me in unfaith. ”
Then she went to find her a shuttlecock, and in this small square yard, she couldn't think of any other exercise to keep fit. Before she got out, she didn't have to ride a horse, and she didn't mention climbing trees and tiles, for fear that they would think she was crazy again.
Youhan didn't dare to ask more, so he ran to find it, and watched Shaohua pant after kicking three or four. Later, he slowly became proficient, and he kicked a dozen or twenty in a row without stopping. Without Shaohua's instructions, she stood by dryly and accompanied Chu He to dismantle the embroidered mandarin ducks.
It wasn't until Shaohua was too bored to join that she was allowed to join, but Youhan was not as skilled at kicking shuttlecock as Shaohua, and she always had to drop twice in three rounds. So, she called all the maids in the yard who could kick the shuttlecock, and all of them came out to kick the shuttlecock with her.
When I went to ask for peace the next day, I was so tired that I almost couldn't get up. Fortunately, Xiyuan informed that the Ling family was too busy these days, so she didn't have to go over to say goodbye, just do her homework in the yard.
Since there is more shuttlecock kicking, Shaohua's life has been much more fulfilling. Basically, every morning, I have to get up and kick the shuttlecock a few times, warm up, and then press the lower back or something. Although the bones of the body are not softer than before, the good thing is that I exercise every day without anything, and my face is more and more ruddy and puffy day by day. She was basically between practicing the piano and kicking the shuttlecock, taking the time to squeeze out some time to embroider a few mandarin ducks, and getting up to find something else when she pricked her fingers until there was nowhere to tie them.
But the only difference is that in addition to eating and getting up, Shaohua asked Chuhe Youhan to put down his things and then sent them down, and he didn't let them get close to him without anything else. Youhan is nothing, but Chuhe is anxious when he looks at it.
"The fifth lady, the third lady is here." Hatsu He stood at the door and shouted.
Wanhua was a little curious, looked at Chu He, and stepped into the house. Shaohua just packed up the needle and thread and greeted him. Wanhua smiled: "It's rare that you are willing to stay in the house and do your homework so well." ”
"The third sister doesn't like to take care of me, I have nowhere to go, so I can only stay in the house." Shaohua pretended to be pitiful, then laughed again, and stepped forward to hold Wanhua's arm, "The third sister is really not interesting, others don't care, I'm your sister, and I can't hide such a big thing." ”
When Wanhua heard this, her pink cheeks were slightly red, and she pulled her to the inner room to sit down, "It's not a secret, there is a reason for it." I'm going to explain it to you. ”
"What's going on?" Shaohua pressed half of his body on the low table and asked in Shaohua's ear. "Third sister, you said it!"
"Good sister, don't rush, let me think about it." Wanhua blushed and snorted for a while before she said, "Do you remember the day a few days ago, when Auntie and Daddy quarreled?" Shaohua nodded, "Well, we were still out on the street that day." But what does this have to do with your marriage? ”
Wanhua stabilized her breathing, and then said: "Originally, I thought that A-Niang quarreled with her father because of Qi Niang's relationship. Two days later, I found out that my mother was unhappy when she talked to my father about my marriage. Ah Niang was originally the grandson of the Marquis of Anqing in the picture, Wei Saburo, his father was a national eunuch, and his official position was not high, but the family was innocent and solid. I heard that Wei Saburo received an errand in the Soldiers and Horses Division, and his immediate boss was An Qinghou's sister-in-law, that is, his own uncle. But my father and the Marquis of Anqing have always been at odds, so they blamed A-Niang for making assertions. ”
"That's it?" Shaohua asked incredulously.
Wanhua sighed quietly, "It's not all, A-Niang is seeking stability, she doesn't want any high-ranking families, she should be steady." Besides, Wei Saburo has his own uncle to help him, and he may not be able to succeed in the future. But my father thinks that my low marriage is not worth it, and second, he is afraid that Qi Niang will not be able to find a good family when she goes out in the future. You think, if I marry low, it's okay if you cross me, but Qi Niang can't go over me. And if I get married, whether it is you or Qi Niang in the future, you can show your identity. Saying that, Wanhua was unwilling, "Daddy still feels sorry for her in the end." ”
"So, this time I took advantage of my father's knowledge to marry the Wei family?" Shaohua doesn't know enough about Li Xunzhuo to comment.
"How is that possible!" Wanhua snorted, "Yes, the nephew of the Duke of the Domain, the second son of the Lord of Yinghua. ”
"Huh?!" Shaohua exclaimed.
This jumpiness is too strong, how can it become the grandson of a marquis and become the nephew of the prince of the country, or the second son of the county lord?
If she remembers correctly, this Yinghua county lord was sealed by the first emperor. However, it is different from her original county lord of Anxi, just because the county lord of Yinghua was originally the only daughter of Qin Tianjian and the niece of the queen mother. Because she has been in the palace to accompany the princess since she was a child, the first emperor rewarded her with a title, and also promised her to her nephew who was raised in the feudal kingdom. Speaking of the nephew of the prince of the country, he was also a romantic figure when he was young, and because of the early death of his parents, he was raised in the palace of the prince since he was a child. But he was not pampered and arrogant, but studied hard, took the martial arts exam, and served as Jin Wuwei.
If you want to say that the status of this feudal family is high, Wanhua is not unworthy, but with the title of the county lord's mother, he always has more honors than the people next to him. But more importantly, how could such a person fall on Wanhua.
Shaohua was confused by these relationships, and Wanhua was so ashamed that she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, "Don't shout, no, I haven't finished talking yet." Shaohua shrugged innocently, she obviously didn't say a word, "I also know that this good thing can't fall on me, but I heard that the saint intends to let the princess of the second prince of the feudal second Lang Shang, and the county lord also plans to let the second son follow the example of the prince Hongfang of the Three Princes' Mansion, and also go to the examination to gain a fame, so he hurriedly wanted to find a lady to settle down, and the matter of the decision will be discussed after the second prince of the feudal family." ”
As soon as he said this, Shaohua understood. If Princess Lang Junshang of the clan family, not to mention his future career, the original superior status of the lord of Yinghua County was suddenly suppressed by his future daughter-in-law. Although her mother's family has a queen mother, she is already married out, and if she doesn't have the name of county lord, not many people will do anything about her. It's been all these years, and there's no reason to marry a noble daughter-in-law and go home to worship. This is close to Qiuqiu, even if she likes a lady, she is afraid of disturbing her son's exam, so she has to come forward and help her palm.
When she was young, the Duchess was a delicate person, and she also matched many golden boys and girls in her hands. Now it's not her nephew who raised her, or the family next to her, and she is willing to do it. It happened that the Ling family had recently gotten close to the Guogong Mansion, and when she thought that she had two daughters, she mentioned it to the lord of Yinghua County. As soon as the lord of Yinghua inquired, the Ling family was the second daughter-in-law of Li Gelao, and her husband had no official position, but he also had a good reputation. Moreover, Li Ge Lao personally hired Mama Rong for his granddaughter to teach in the house, and he agreed immediately and asked the Duchess to help him.
As soon as the Ling family received the news, they were extremely nervous, this was a pie falling from the sky. Such a good thing fell on her head, no, it fell on Wanhua's head, and after discussing it with Li Xunzhuo that night, he decided to take his two daughters to the appointment the next day.
It's a pity that Shaohua got up late, and the Ling family thought to himself, the lord of Yinghua County was in such a hurry, and he must have to make a decision after the autumn of Fan Erlang. After all, Shaohua hadn't been in time yet, and he didn't care if he went, so he simply ignored her and went straight to the Guogong Mansion with Wanhua.
Because everything happened suddenly, although the front did not promise the Wei family, both sides were applauded. Therefore, the Ling family did not dare to come forward, for fear of being questioned by the Wei family. Anyway, as soon as the tokens of the feudal family were handed over, the feudal family had to come to the door to get it after the autumn, and the Wei family couldn't say anything. At that time, Wanhua will stay at home, and Fan Erlang will deal with next year's spring with all his heart. Not to mention that there is no side thought, even if there is, the Yinghua County Lord will not allow it.
Thinking that her daughter will be able to marry in a beautiful way next year, her son-in-law is not only the son of the county lord, but also a serious scientific examination, not to mention how beautiful it is.
"So, now it's just a private decision, or do you want to go through the ceremony after the autumn?" After getting Wanhua's affirmation, Shaohua frowned and thoughtfully, "What about the Wei family?" ”
"I haven't exchanged tokens, let alone taken them, what else can I do." Wanhua glanced at her sister, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said to Shaohua excitedly: "Guess, who did I meet in the Guogong Mansion that day?" ”
"Who? Eizaburo? Shaohua deliberately ridiculed.
Wanhua twisted her angrily, "Can you not mention this person again, there is not a word of eight words, spread it out, let the county lord mother hear it." ”
Shaohua deliberately grimaced and whispered, "Before I passed the door, I started to worry." But when she heard Wanhua's threatening "um", she hurriedly laughed doggedly, and Baba looked at Wanhua: "Who did the third sister see?" ”
"That's pretty much it." Wanhua was very satisfied with Shaohua's transformation, "I have met Yan Jialangjun. ”
"Oh, Yan Jialangjun, Yan ...... Yan Kaizhi?! Shaohua repeated, and suddenly the whole person came to his senses. opened his mouth wide, puffed out his eyes and looked at Wanhua nodding, and somehow, suddenly there was an urge to fan himself to death.
Oh, my God! Yan Kaizhi actually appeared in the Guogong Mansion, and she had the opportunity to see him, but she was missed by her own snooze!
I knew that she would rather stare at the dark circles under her eyes and see him than stay at home and stare at them with Jinhua and make a fuss. Thinking about it like this, Shaohua was even more angry.
Wanhua didn't have time to pay attention to Shaohua's complicated inner activities, and said to himself: "It's the first time I've seen him so closely. In the past, I listened to it a lot, and I saw it a few times from afar. However, compared with the eldest brother, he is much more robust and heroic, but he is whiter than the second brother, and he is not as burly as the second brother. Wanhua completely turned into a girl's Huaichun appearance, and Shaohua felt awkward in her heart. pounced over, straightened her face with both hands, and said seriously word by word: "Third sister, you already have someone else's, don't think about other Langjun." It's not good to be careful to let the county lord hear it! ”
Shaohua blocked back with Wanhua's words, and Wanhua was so frightened that she quickly came back to her senses, remembering that this was in her own home, and annoyed her, "What do you know!" You go out and ask which lady doesn't miss the four gentlemen, you can't count on it horizontally and vertically, and it won't be good if you think about it. "What Wanhua means is that these four gentlemen are recognized and openly conceived for spring, and even if they are known, they will not be made fun of." You haven't read it yourself. ”
"It's different!" Shaohua muttered sullenly. Thinking that she had missed an opportunity to meet Yan Kaizhi in vain, Shaohua regretted that she wanted to hit it with a piece of tofu. "What is he going to do?"
"I don't know." Wanhua shook her head, but thought in her heart, the Duchess of Guo is a well-known old man, what can happen to the Mansion of the Kingdom.
