(pink 941 plus)

Xie Yan took the roster to the door to ask for an edict, and in addition to the thirteen young people from the Literature Museum and Guozijian, there were also several scholars from the Hongwen Pavilion, as well as some officials in the court and China who had studied geology, and these were the main personnel who wrote the Kun Yuanlu.

Menxia Province had already been instructed to wait for this list, and after completing the matter very efficiently, he sent it to the palace for the emperor to see.

After getting the edict, it was almost evening, Xie Yan took the people from the province and went straight to the Guozijian to read it, and the people waiting in the teaching house, not half of them left early, they were all waiting for the final confirmation with their eyes in order, so that they could celebrate with confidence.

Yu Yu had dinner earlier than usual, and then he bathed and changed his clothes, and went to Shuyun Pavilion in the evening, this kind of special exchange party between the daughter of the capital and the talented girl, the dress naturally can not be sloppy, that is, if you don't fight for your face, you also have to save the face of the Guogong Mansion.

Before dinner, the Zhao family, who got the letter from Lu Shuqing, also went to the Li Courtyard to explain to the Yu, and assigned his personal maid, a person named Evian, to come and wait.

"Miss, what do you think of this?" Pingtong asked the two little maids to carry a set of dresses, and asked Pinghui in front of the dressing table.

"Well, okay, don't pick again, that's it." The jade, which had been dazzled by more than a dozen sets of clothes thrown on the soft couch, was set after looking at the color of the clothes.

"Second Miss," Evian, who couldn't help much because of Pingtong Pinghui's neat hands and feet from the beginning, looked at the color of the clothes, and finally seized the opportunity to interject, she hesitated to call out, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped.

Because she remembered Zhao's confession, she knew that this small gathering was the first time that the two sisters, Yiyu and Shuqing, appeared on such a formal occasion at the same time, although Zhao did not say it explicitly, she also knew that she could not let her eldest lady be compared to the second young lady who was close in age, which was to say that she was assigned to wait, but what was the specific thought, but it was a difference.

"What's wrong?" Yi Yu was idle to wipe her hands with balm, it was cold, mostly to prevent freezing, the aloe vera water had long been used up, she was thinking about whether to go back to Longquan Town to get some seeds in the past two days, and come back to plant something useful.

Evian was embarrassed: "The slave and maid are too talkative, and I went to the eldest lady's house first, and it seems that I will wear this color of clothes at night, and the slave and maid are thinking, if both of them wear the same color, will it not be good, you might as well ......"

It's better what, she didn't say it, but the embarrassment in her eyebrows and eyes was clearly about changing the color of the jade.

Yi Yu glanced at the dress that was already in Ping Tong's hand, and before he could speak, he heard Ping Tong say in a cold voice:

"The color is the same, the style is the same, what our young lady likes to wear, there is no need for others to talk more."

Evian's face turned pale, she served in front of the eldest lady, she had not been spoken by any subordinate maid in such a tone, she was slightly angry, but she didn't know that Pingtong, who had experienced an unequal idle maid, was used to seeing intrigue between big people and women, these sisters had their own arrogance and heart, and they were sycophants in front of Yiyu, that was she was favored, first by Ah Sheng'er, and then privately warned by Lu Zhi, how could she allow others to play any tricks in front of Yiyu.

"Sister Pingtong misunderstood, I just had some good intentions, if I usually wore the same color, but I heard that the small gathering of the Errong Poetry Society went to the daughters of big families in the capital and talented women with some reputations, and it was not good to be laughed at by outsiders." Evian laughed.

Pingtong lowered his head and arranged the belt of the clothes, with a sneer in his words, and said: "According to what you say, all the young ladies who wear the same color clothes at the banquet are not a joke." ”

Although Yi Yu didn't know about the affairs of this house, he could see that something was wrong, and when he heard a few jokes, when the two were arguing, he chuckled lightly and said to Pingtong: "Well, I don't like to be the same color as others, so I can avoid it, Pingtong, I changed the moon white background and flowers." ”

Hearing that Yiyu took the initiative to give in, Evian felt a little proud in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at Pingtong, but saw that the maid who insisted on not changing her color just now did not have the slightest disobedience, and responded very respectfully:

"Yes."

This is a subordinate person, the quality is high, just such a life and an answer, you can see it. Evian was a little unconscious, so he didn't say anything again, until the jade hairpin ring was ready, and he changed into the clothes again, and the whole person stood in front of the mirror, and the delicate appearance made the maid slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, she stepped forward and took out a gold hairpin from the jewelry box, compared it to the jade, and said:

"Second Miss, your headdress looks a little plain, why don't you add a golden hairpin?"

Yi Yu glanced at the hairpin, moved her gaze to the maid's face, and waved her hand to refuse before Pingtong spoke, Evian wanted to persuade again, but was swept over by her faint eyes, and closed her mouth in a sneer.

After dressing up like this, the sky was already dark, Yiyu took the two maids out of the courtyard, and when she walked to the front hall, she met Lu Zhongzhi, who had just finished serving guests and drinking tea, and the old man Lu looked her up and down, praised a few words, and told her to come back early before letting people leave.

Yi Yuyuan was in front of Lu Shuqing and joined her, but when she arrived at the door, she was told by her subordinates that the eldest lady had left ahead of schedule. The carriage waiting outside was driven by Lu Yao, who was left behind by Lu Zhi, who was out on errands.

Sitting in the car, Pinghui, who was straightforward and fast-talking, said dissatisfiedly to Yiyu: "Miss, you shouldn't have changed your clothes just now, she obviously did it on purpose, and she asked you to wear a gold hairpin later, this month's white-bottomed clothes, can you wear a gold hairpin, isn't it cheesy." ”

On the contrary, Pingtong, who was arguing with Evian in the room just now, calmed down and reprimanded: "Don't talk much, Miss has her own plans." ”

Yi Yu was silent, she didn't have any ideas, she just felt that it was really unnecessary to make the two sides unhappy for the color of a piece of clothing, she insisted on big things, but she didn't give in to each other in this kind of small thing, there was no point.

Li Tai entered Shuyun Pavilion on time according to the appointed time on Li Chengqian's post, this elegant place located in the east of the city, the layout is very chic, and the gentleman's building of the Guozijian has the same magic, but it is much more delicate and small, and it is surrounded by buildings on three sides.

At night, in the hall on the first floor of this attic, there are lanterns hanging under the eaves, there is a brazier at intervals, the circular flower and bird yarn lamps with unique shapes can be seen everywhere, the velvet carpets of various colors are laid behind each table, the desk is furnished with fruit plates, tea and wine and other things, on the west side of the first floor, on the spacious platform of half a person, a group of beautiful women who are well-dressed are holding the pipa and the piano, and playing and singing, and their joy is very good.

This group of highly skilled female musicians is a major feature of this Shuyun Building, and it is a performance that you can't see if you spend money elsewhere.

Seeing the empty seats in the hall on the first floor, Li Tai led Ah Sheng to the second floor, and on the west incense corridor, he saw Li Chengqian, who had already arrived, the prince was holding a woman with a graceful figure on the left and right, drinking and listening to music leisurely, and the affectionate behavior of a man and two women in this public was made Li Tai, who secretly thought about his transformation, instantly dispelled this idea.

"Yo, you're not coming." Seeing Li Tai sit down on the empty seat on his left, Li Chengqian snorted.

"This king is not as idle as the crown prince."

Li Chengqian sneered and pushed the beautiful woman in Zuo Huai's hand, "Go, didn't you little hoof have been thinking about it for a long time, don't say that this palace won't give you a chance, tonight will be happy to serve King Wei, and this palace will fulfill your thoughts." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince," the woman screamed coquettishly, her body fell unsteadily at Li Tai's feet, and she lay on the ground, like a water snake, propping up her upper body and squeezing out the looming roundness on her chest, looking at Li Tai coquettishly, and said:

"I've seen the prince, the slave name is Nuan'er, it's the warmth of the warm fragrance."

"Haha, it's the warmth of the bed!" Li Chengqian laughed.

Li Tai took the wine after Ah Sheng inspected it with a silver needle, ignored the seductive soul that was lying at his feet, and said, "Who is the banquet downstairs?" ”

"It was said that the Errong Poetry Society was going to gather here, heh, it was actually bumped into by the palace, it just so happened that the father was not planning to choose a concubine for you, so let's take a look at it by the way, which one is close-eyed, the woman, the one who enters the door is still a good rule, this is usually playful," Li Chengqian spread his hand into the woman's light clothes in his arms, causing her to gasp, and he smiled evilly: "It's still good like this." ”

Hearing that he seemed to inadvertently mention the matter of Li Shimin's private talk to him about the selection of concubines, Li Tai's expression did not change, and he turned his head to look at the hall that was left at a glance.

However, because the lights upstairs were dim, looking up from downstairs, no one noticed that the two men in the middle of the capital, the group of girls from the Errong Poetry Society, behaved decently, but they were intimate and laughing.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth to swallow the fruit fed by the woman in his arms, chewed something, looked downstairs, and counted idly: "Look! The Gao family, the eldest grandson's family, the Chai family, the Zhang family, the Duan family, Chengyang, Linchuan, heh, isn't that Gao Yang, who hasn't seen anyone for a while, how is it today, they are all here, this palace is really suspicious, they checked the itinerary of the palace, and knew that I had a banquet for the fourth brother, so they came here, haha..."

The two women covered their mouths and smiled, and the one who fell at Li Tai's feet, Xu knew the temperament of the King of Wei, and he didn't come forward, so he shook his body crookedly.

Li Tai was not in a hurry to ask Li Chengqian what he was looking for him for, and let him say something inconsequential and judge the group of daughters below.

"This one is thin, and that one is fatter...... It seems that this figure is the best, or our sister Linchuan, the best appearance is the cousin of this palace, I really want to see, if she grows up for another two years, what kind of appearance will she be...... Another one, huh? It's still an eye-catcher. ”

(The fruit is here to wish all relatives a happy new year, a prosperous Year of the Rabbit, all the best, a happy family, good health, and all wishes come true!) )(! )
