Cheng Xueyan immediately remembered the beautiful woman with a string of lifelike Lingxiao flowers embroidered on her skirt, and she also noticed that Bi Tong did not add the title of "girl" or "sir" after mentioning this name, just as Du Yingzi's expression passed by deliberately when she introduced her.

"If you talk about female celebrities, this Li Yan is the number one in the imperial capital, but ......" Bi Tong blinked, as if she was afraid of being heard, and whispered in her ear: "Her background is not good." ”

Cheng Xueyan showed a suspicious look.

Bitong is a person who can't hide his words, and he doesn't need to be punished, so he consciously and automatically moves all the tricks.

"She was born in a Qinglou ......"

This sentence made Cheng Xueyan completely understand.

"It's also a singer, although it's a performer but not a person, and it was redeemed by the Marquis of Qi to be the fifth aunt in just one year. It's a pity that she was blessed and widowed the next year. At that time, she was favored as soon as she entered the door, and as soon as this marquis died, how could the other wives and concubines tolerate her? In the name of separation, and she had no children, he drove her out. She seemed to have expected this step before, saved some private houses, and bought a house outside. Guan Ju Pavilion is a royal women's school, teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the female popularity of this woman's foundation is also indispensable. When recruiting Mr. Female Red, she also ran for election with many women. Sewing, embroidery, shoes and hats, braiding, cutting...... Leading the way. But because of her background, the old lady has never decided to come. Coincidentally, the day of the noodle test was the Dragon Boat Festival, and the emperor was also a fun-loving person, so he asked the master to send the zongzi wrapped by the candidates into the palace for the concubines to try. As a result, word came out in the afternoon that the one who announced that he was going to be the 'Nine Son Zong' entered the palace turned out to be her. I have to say that she has a clever mind. A string of nine dumplings, the big ones are on the top, the small ones are on the bottom, the shapes are different, and they are all exquisite. She also made nine flavors with ingenuity, sweet tea, dates, mung bean eggs, taro, five bean brown, five color brown, eight treasure dumplings, fish-flavored lotus leaves, and hundred fruits, which were tied with nine colors of silk threads, which was very good-looking. Most of the nine zongzi are used to give to relatives and friends, and this time when she entered the palace, the 'zongzi' ...... 'neutron' responded to the thoughts of those concubines who longed for children, so she became Mr. Nu Hong......"

"How long is there until the Dragon Boat Festival?" Cheng Xueyan's stomach began to react.

Bitong also swallowed her saliva: "Girl, it's not summer yet." ”

Cheng Xueyan was a little frustrated.

"Actually, I just heard that Li Yan is not easy to give away, and even the old lady has never received her gifts. So I said that although her female celebrity is good, if the girl begs her to do something, it is better to borrow some silver, in fact, the second lady is ......."

"Let's go to Mr. Li's side......"

"Ah......h

——————————————————————————————————————

Li Yan bought a small house by herself, in the west of the city, but because it was a little far away from the Guan Ju Pavilion, except for the monthly return home with the girls, she lived in a small courtyard on the north side of Chengfu on weekdays.

The courtyard with three ears and two ears is extremely quiet and elegant.

The garden is full of lily of the valley orchids, which are in full bloom, and the white flowers are hanging down like small bells, and they are as crystal as glass carved bells. The breeze blows, swaying gently, as if about to touch a scattered bell, but it just shakes off the intoxicating fragrance and floats lightly in the courtyard.

is very similar to Li Yan, who looks calm, but always makes people shine and convince at critical moments.

However, at this moment, Li Yan is not in Yuling Tower, she is in the rest room set up for her husband outside the Guan Ju Pavilion - in Fangting, and she can wait for Dai Zhen to finish her painting class, and she can go to teach female red.

Bi Tong has long been familiar with the time and homework arrangements, and also informed Cheng Xueyan: "Girl, it's better to go to Fangting, anyway, she will have to wait for a long time for Mr. Dai to come out." Mr. Dai is always verbose, and sometimes he squeezes out Li Yan's lecture time. If the girl waits here, I don't know when she will come back, and besides, today is the day when the girls are going home, so I wonder if she will go from that side directly......"

Cheng Xueyan hesitated for a moment, but decided to stay in Yuling Pavilion.

She has her own ideas.

She doesn't know how Cheng Xueyan used to be, she and Li Yan have no intersection, this time there is something, Fang is in a hurry to find someone, she is disrespectful to herself and others, and she is busy with business, if it is rude to disturb with idle things, it is easy to cause disgust, and things are even more difficult to do. And sitting and waiting here, it is Chengmen Lixue's respectful and sincere attitude, everything is polite in front, Li Yan will not find any fault even if it is difficult to approach, so even if it is impossible to ask for someone, it will leave a good impression, and she feels very special to Li Yan, she always feels like a hidden master, cold on the outside, but actually hot inside, just living in such an environment, exposing her heart is easy to be hurt. Many people are like this, in order to protect themselves, they put on layers of masks, just hope to wear them on their faces for a long time, so as not to lose their true selves.

The sun hung on the eaves for a while, and finally rolled down to the powder wall, spreading the golden veil diagonally all over the courtyard.

Bitong yawned again: "Girl, Li Yan shouldn't be back, let's go, it's time for dinner." ”

"If you're tired, go back first, and I'll wait a little longer." Cheng Xueyan took two steps.

After standing outside for an afternoon, the whole person was a little wooden.

"I said that I went directly to Guan Ju Pavilion to find her, she was not a high-ranking person, but she wanted a girl to wait. Even if she has to wait, she will go into the courtyard to sit down, but the girl prefers to stand outside, it is really ......" Bitong complained sleepy and tired.

"I have a personal matter to ask her, and it is right to wait here, how can I delay her business? Besides, this is someone's courtyard after all, and it is rude for us to come uninvited, how can we be even more rude to enter a private house without permission? ”

"What private house? Isn't the Cheng family rewarding her? I said girl, you take her too seriously, she's just ......"

"Bitong," Cheng Xueyan's face became serious: "You don't like Mama Tang, why are you guilty of her worshipping high and stepping on low now?" In any case, Mr. Li is the gentleman of Guan Juguan, and even if she is not, she is worthy of admiration for relying on her real skills to support herself......"

"Girl......"

Bi Tong's face was flushed, and she was about to say something, but she only heard a soft voice coming.

"This Yuling Building is full of people on weekdays, but today there are nobles, and I don't know yet, it's rude to wait for a long time......

As soon as Cheng Xueyan turned around, she saw Li Yan appear behind her at some point, facing her Yingying Yifu.

Today, she is wearing a light purple shirt, covered with jade-colored smoke and light gauze half-sleeves, and the skirt is a five-color brocade gold embroidered silk skirt with a green background.

"It is said that there is nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, the eldest girl must have something important to visit this time, right?"

Li Yan got up without waiting for Cheng Xueyan to return the courtesy, with a beautiful face with just the right smile.

Since she is so straight to the point, it is inconvenient for Cheng Xueyan to detour, and this is not what she is good at.

She took out the pattern of the dress from her sleeve pocket: "Actually, I want to ask Mr. Li to help me look at this dress......

Li Yan took it and glanced at it, but her eyes lit up: "The eldest girl is really ingenious, I can't think of what this dress looks like even if it takes me three years." ”

Cheng Xueyan's face was slightly hot: "I can only draw, this time I ......"

Indeed, in her previous life, the drawings she designed were always praised by the teacher, but there was a problem with the actual operation, and she didn't understand what was going on.

"You want me to make it for you?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows, and the crystal tassels of the hairpin on her head flashed with a string of dazzling.

It's really a drum that doesn't need to be hammered, and people don't need to pluck it carefully.

"I know you're very busy, if this dress is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, it should have been sent outside to be cut, but I ......" Cheng Xueyan is not used to crying poverty to others, but this is indeed a fact.

"I know," Li Yan interrupted her embarrassment happily: "You really can't send this dress outside, if the Cutting Cloud Workshop gets the shape, it will definitely make many pieces to sell for a good price, and then you won't be fresh when you wear it on the day of Lixia......"

"How do you know what I'm going to do......"

Li Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Why does the girl ask knowingly? ”

She folded the pattern and put it in her sleeve pocket at will: "Since the girl doesn't dislike my rough craftsmanship, I will do it for the girl......"

"Ah......h

Cheng Xueyan and Bitong exclaimed in unison, they didn't expect Li Yan to agree so easily.

Li Yan smiled: "The girl will come to pick it up in three days." There are still ten days before the beginning of summer, and I am also looking forward to the girl showing her singing voice. ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Shi bowed and left.

On the way back, Bi Tong kept wondering: "How could it be so smooth, she shouldn't have any conspiracy, right?" ”

"Maybe it's because of the same sickness."

Cheng Xueyan looked at the last star of the sunset and lost her mind slightly.

——————————————————————————————————————

The venue is there, the props are there, the costumes are there, the soundtrack is bad, you can't sing it a cappella, and the music plays a very important role in setting off the atmosphere.

Cheng Xueyan turned around the house a few times: "Bitong, where is Miss Qin?" ”

"What is the girl looking for Mr. Qin?"

"Didn't she teach the piano? I want to ......"

"The girl wants her to play the accompaniment?"

Bitong is a smart girl.

"You can't let me sing a cappella, it's boring."

"The girl's idea is not wrong, it's just looking for her......" Bi Tong looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong with her?"

"I can't say it well," With the lesson of the Li Yan incident, Bi Tong didn't dare to say much, and it was really hard to say much about this Qin girl: "But the girl is afraid that Miss Qin will not be moved." ”

"Bitong, can you not just mention someone and you can't say it's okay to please?"

Even the most inaccessible Li Yan was easily overcome, let alone this Qin Gulan? Besides, she has a good impression of this woman who looks a little similar to herself. When I met my relatives, I just asked her to help with the accompaniment, why is it difficult?

So led by Bitong, he marched to Weilan Pavilion with great ambition.
