Chapter 108: Tea Party Laughter
On the day of Mu Xiu, the two siblings did not go home. Lu Zhi found someone to carry a letter back to the Lu family in advance, and the two brothers and sisters had lunch together, and Lu Zhi told Yu some things to go to the Literature Museum.
After returning to the Kun Courtyard, Yu Yu asked the servants who were guarding the courtyard to boil hot water and bathe in the house, and then went to bed for a rest for two quarters of an hour, and waited until three minutes before getting up to dress up.
Lu Zhi told her a lot of things about the Errong Poetry Society, this tea party is its usual way of gathering, mostly held in the garden of the mansion, the meeting starts with the tea party, the members of the poetry club deal with each other at this tea party, in addition to making friends with each other, you can find out a lot of movements by the way, and some people also use the tea party to put some fake news out, right or wrong, all depends on the people who participate in the meeting to observe their own words.
In the name of the poetry club, it is inevitable to chant poems at the tea party, but this legacy is not afraid, even if she does not have the talent to become a poem in seven steps, but there are many famous poems and sentences in her mind, even if she is embarrassed by someone, she can deal with one or two.
Although the tea party requires formal attire. Nowadays, women are popular with complex and gorgeous beauty, but Yu Yu only chose a set of garnet red skirts, and the colors often worn by women in Chang'an City are neither plain nor formal. I heard that there are two princesses present at this tea party, one is Princess Linchuan and the other is Princess Chengyang, the two princesses plus the eldest grandson Xian, enough to overshadow the others present, gorgeous dress is really not advisable, and the dress is too simple is eye-catching, the shade is the best.
"Miss, it's good to comb your bun, it's just the golden hairpin with the two rubies." There are not many jewelry brought from home, just a few simple pieces, the most precious is afraid of the pair of golden hairpins, Chen Qu only said that the jade is to participate in the party of those young ladies, thinking that if you dress plainly, you will be underestimated.
Yi Yu shook his head, "Comb a common one." Then he reached out and rummaged through the jewelry box, and chose a few fancy hairpins with ordinary styles to put aside.
Chen Qu wanted to persuade when he saw it, but when he saw that she was holding the book and reading it again, he swallowed the words in his mouth, only made a falling ponytail with a back plate, left some remaining hair on her shoulders, and pinned four hairpins neatly.
"Miss, it's alright."
Yi Yu looked up at himself in the mirror, he hadn't dressed up properly for half a month, but he was wearing a few of the college's somewhat neutral regular clothes. At this moment, I changed into a red women's dress, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the fair little face was a little dazzling.
With a wry smile on his face, Yi Yu reached out and took the comb and put down the forehead hair that had just been combed to the side, covering his eyebrows neatly, and the special features of the eyes were inconspicuous.
She got up and took a half-length light chestnut shawl from the closet and put it on the crook of her arm, and then looked at the person in the glasses, and at a glance it was just a delicate little girl with a girlish atmosphere.

The back garden of Shangshu Mansion
In addition to the imperial city, there are many official residences in this capital, there are prosperous, there are wide, and there are exquisite, but if the garden is the most beautiful, it is the back garden in the Shangshu Mansion, the main residence of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Today is the first tea party of the Errong Poetry Society in August, many daughters have been present, the pavilions and water pavilions are each equipped with tea table carpets, the garden is full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, the girls who are good friends with each other sit in one place, and occasionally there are maids in one color of clothing bow down to serve tea fruits.
There are three young girls sitting in a yarn-winding water pavilion by the small lake, each with its own merits, one quiet, one beautiful and one soft, each with a teacup, chuckling and talking about something.
"Alas, eldest grandson. Why haven't I seen your little follower these days? "Princess Linchuan, who is sixteen years old, was born to Wei Guifei, and Wei's maiden family is a scholar of Jingzhao, and she has some influence in Kyoto.
Changsun Xian's expression was still faint, "That Chu Xiaosi borrowed my name a few days ago to lock up a female student, and almost killed someone, by the way, it seems to have been done with the people below Chengyang, and then he was stabbed by the student's brother to the sacrificial wine place, and then he was confined at home." ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" There was a look of surprise in Linchuan's tone, but because of the two gloating expressions on his face, he was not so compatible.
Eldest Sun Xian lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes, "You still have to ask Chengyang about this matter clearly, but I don't know anything." ”
Chengyang, who was writing in front of the case, paused slightly, raised his head and said with a smile: "The imperial sister asked me in vain, those people didn't report me in advance, and I only learned about this after receiving the news that the fourth brother went to save people in person." ”
"Fourth brother? Ha ha... My ears are good now, and you have to be measured when you laugh. Lin Chuan smiled and leaned down on the cushion behind him, and with a flick of his jade hand, a pink-makeup palace lady stepped forward and knelt behind her to squeeze her shoulder.
"Hmph, it's a lie to you, Lu Zhi is quite valued by the fourth brother, I heard those who were present say that the fourth brother took Yinxiao's monster to break into the Guozijian at night, and this matter is already known in the school, and the news of the imperial sister is too ill-informed." Chengyang snorted coldly and lowered his head to write again.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Linchuan's face, and he secretly said that he seemed to be overdressing. coughed lightly and went to change the topic, "Speaking of the fourth brother, it reminds me of one thing again, didn't he reject the two young ladies who were named concubines by his father at the family banquet a while ago, I really admire him, this matter of marriage dares to refute the will of my father, you say, what does His Royal Highness the King of Wei think?" She was talking about the two people she was asking, but her eyes were looking at Changsun Xian,
"The fourth brother is the most difficult to guess, in addition to the subordinates in the Wei Palace, you have seen a few women, but I heard that he has raised a lot of singers elsewhere, and the top brand worth two thousand gold in the last magenta mansion seems to live in his Yongpingfang courtyard." Linchuan answered her words while writing.
"You're well-informed." Lin Chuan just smiled when he heard her words, and then said to the eldest grandson Xian, who bowed his head and tasted tea: "I think the fourth brother seems to have ulterior motives for refuting the holy will like that, eldest grandson, you have some friendship with the fourth brother, but do you know which young lady he has a crush on, so he is unwilling to face his father?" ”
Changsun Xian's eyes flashed, and she raised her head and said: "I don't know about this, and I haven't seen the fourth brother look at which lady has a different eye, if you have news, remember to inform me, let me see it fresh." "She called Empress Changsun her aunt, although the mother of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was not the queen. She also followed the other royal ladies to call him the fourth brother.
Linchuan laughed again, waved his hand to change the topic, the three of them chatted here, and two girls were also sitting in a small pavilion in the distance, eating refreshments and saying some interesting things.
"Xiao Wu, look, I'll just say that the rules of our poetry club are not big, so you don't have to worry about it." The girl dressed in green said very kindly to the round-faced girl who was pouring tea on the other side.
"Well, I also want to thank Sister Ming for inviting me to join the poetry club, Miss Changsun's brand is not easy to please." The round-faced girl looked up and showed a sweet smile, and her golden hair shook slightly.
The girl in green showed a hint of pride on her face, and then said modestly: "I didn't help much. Your mother is already a flat wife, and she is qualified to join the poetry club, so I just asked Miss Changsun in front of her, and she agreed. ”
Having said that, the round-faced girl said a few words of thanks, and then took out a pouch from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the other party, "Sister Ming, this pouch for you, although it looks ordinary, but it was embroidered by myself." ”
The girl in green took the pouch, pretended not to care, opened the pouch, and saw a bead the size of a dragon's eye inside, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, "Our sisters are still polite, since you made it yourself, then I will accept it." ”

Yiyu was Shen Shi arrived at the Shangshu Mansion on time, handed the sign to the guard at the door, and someone took her to the entrance of the back garden, and changed to a handsome maid to guide, although she was surprised by the beauty of the garden along the way, but did not show it on the face, but secretly wrote down a few chic, thinking that if she changed the house in the future, she could also learn from it.
After walking around for a long time before reaching the place, standing in the corridor and looking at the pavilions and pavilions of the purpose, there was a faint woman's laughter in her ears, she slightly straightened the shawl on the crook of her arm, and then raised her feet and stepped into this world that did not belong to her.
The maid had been instructed by the eldest grandson Xian in advance, and walked directly towards the water pavilion, and many young ladies who were talking to saw this person, and they all asked each other, and two or three students from the academy knew Yi Yu, so they told her about her in a few words.
After hearing that it was a student from a common people, most of the people showed disdain on their faces, and then heard that this was Lu Zhi's own sister, some people's expressions eased a little, and finally heard that this was one of the people who had been widely circulated in Guozixue in recent days. Everyone's faces were slightly contemptuous, and they turned into a little doubt and jealousy.
Yi Yu didn't know that as soon as he came in, he would become the topic of everyone's conversation, and followed the maid to the water pavilion without squinting, and saw the three heavenly ladies sitting in the pavilion, and his expression did not fluctuate.
"Miss Lu, you're really punctual." The three of them were still sitting and leaning, but their eyes were on her, only Changsun Xian nodded lightly to her, but there was some mockery in these words.
As if she hadn't heard it, Yi Yu had an appropriate smile on her face, and bowed to the three of them separately, "The little girl has seen Princess Linchuan, Princess Chengyang, and Miss Changsun." She especially quietly glanced at Princess Linchuan who she had never seen before, this was the third princess she had seen in person, Gao Yang was delicate and willful, Chengyang was a little cold, but this Princess Linchuan was a little lazy, and her appearance was quite gorgeous.
Chengyang moved his gaze back from her back to the paper, and snorted coldly, "Why are you here." ”
Yi Yu paused for a moment, and didn't see the eldest grandson Xian explain for herself, so she took out the yellow wood sign from her sleeve, and sent it forward with both hands, her figure was still respectful, "Back to the princess, the little girl came at the invitation of Miss Changsun." ”
Chengyang didn't raise her head, let alone answer her words, Changsun Xian went to pour tea for herself, she lowered her eyelids, and still maintained the posture of holding a card. (Two more to) (!) )
