Chapter Ninety-Eight: White Calculation
The flower banquet held by the Marquis of Weiyuan caused a small sensation in a famous family in Shengjing City.
Because over the years, the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has been too silent......
Fu Tingye is becoming more and more famous year by year, but he has already moved out of the Hou Mansion and made the king in the north, no matter how great the glory is, it has nothing to do with the former Hou Mansion.
What's going on? Why did you suddenly hold a flower banquet?
Is it what Old Madam Fu meant, or what Fu Tingye meant? - Thinking of the possibility of the latter, these dignitaries in Beijing had to treat this flower banquet with a cautious attitude.
After all...... Who dares not to give Fu Tingye face?
So, on this day, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion can be said to be full of guests, and all kinds of gorgeous carriages come one after another, dazzling people.
β¦β¦
Cheng Wanmiao sat in the boudoir and dressed up, she was thinking about today's plan in her heart, and her expression unconsciously showed a little nervousness.
There were bursts of exclamations from the maid outside, which made her feel irritable.
"Xiuzhi, go outside and take a look, what are they arguing about." Cheng Wanmiao said with a frown.
The maid who was called Xiuzhi went out in response, but it stopped the noise outside for a moment.
The maid returned to the house and said to Cheng Wanmiao: "The Prime Minister's wife and Mrs. Hubu Shangshu are here, the Hou Mansion has not entertained such a distinguished guest for many years, everyone is a little forgetful, and they are talking about how precious the gifts sent by the two ladies are......"
Cheng Wanmiao listened to it and was in a trance for a while.
Prime Minister Zuo is a noble person, with a large number of students, and a very high reputation among folk literati and scholars, and he almost never participates in the entertainment between officials, and whenever he is invited to a banquet, he refuses on the grounds of old age and frailty, and even rarely shows up with the prime minister's wife.
I really can't imagine that it's just a small flower banquet, and the prime minister's wife will actually come......
Although Cheng Wanmiao knew that the status of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion was transcendent, because Mrs. Fu lived in a simple house after losing her husband and children, and never held banquets in the mansion, Cheng Wanmiao did not see many nobles seriously.
In fact, her status is too high, even if she sees her, she probably doesn't bother to deal with her, and in the end she can only interact with a family like the Xu family.
Cheng Wanmiao couldn't help but have a thought in her heart.
Today's flower banquet, if it is held by the Xu Mansion, will the prime minister's wife come?
β¦β¦ Definitely not.
This answer was in the bottom of her heart, but it made her feel extremely frustrated.
Cheng Wanmiao knows very well that although the Xu family looks glamorous, it is not as rich as the Hou Mansion, and Fu Tingye is even more than 10,000 people under one person, which Xu Qingran cannot compare at all......
Does she really want to give up everything in front of her to choose Xu Qingran?
- Smack!
The bead hairpin in her hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, waking Cheng Wanmiao up.
She suddenly came back to her senses and was very annoyed!
I secretly cursed myself for being confused!
What is Fu Tingye?! It's just a reckless man! I don't know when I will die on the battlefield! What's more, no matter how great the wealth is, how can it compare to the harmony and like-mindedness of husband and wife!
The thought of sharing a bed with that stout and savage man made her feel disgusting!
Xu Qingran is completely different, he is humble as jade, he is an elegant talent, knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and will be able to get along with her after getting married, and when she gets married, Xu Qingran will win the championship, and then she will be the champion lady, isn't it majestic enough?
Cheng Wanmiao, Cheng Wanmiao, don't be blinded by the wealth in front of you!
ββA sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl will always have some beautiful fantasies about love, and a gentle gentleman like Xu Qingran is a lover for her.
A little maid ran in from outside, "...... Miss, Miss! Mrs. Xu came with Miss Xu and the young masterβ"
Cheng Wanmiao was overjoyed, and a smile appeared in her eyebrows, "Where have they been?" β
"I've arrived in the front hall, and the old lady is entertaining." The maid said, and took out something from her arms with a strange face, "This is a gift from Miss Xu......
It was a delicate embroiderer's purse, Cheng Wanmiao opened it and saw that it contained a peacock blue bead flower and a piece of paper.
There are two lines of small words on the paper: the wild goose is in the cloud, the fish is in the water, and it is difficult to send this feeling. (Borrowing from Yan Shu's "Qing Pingle Two Songs")
Cheng Wanmiao's cheeks were slightly red, and she pursed her lips to reveal a sweet and shy smile.
She put the little piece of paper away and put it on in front of the mirror.
The girl's complexion in the mirror is snowy, delicate and bright, and her posture is moving.
Cheng Wanmiao was very satisfied, hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Let's go, let's go ahead to help the old lady entertain the guests." β
β¦β¦
There is no specific time for the flower banquet, some people arrive early in the morning, and some people arrive almost noon.
Fu Tingye is the kind who doesn't rush.
He sat on the edge of the corridor, watching Xi'er kicking the shuttlecock in the yard, patiently waiting for Hua Qingxue to dress up.
After all, this flower banquet is Hua Qingxue's first appearance, and her makeup naturally can't be casual, although Huan'er can comb her hair, she can't cope with such an occasion.
Fu Tingye specially sent someone to find a mother-in-law who is good at grooming and makeup to dress up Hua Qingxue.
There was a sound of the door opening behind him, Fu Tingye turned to look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xi'er, who kicked the shuttlecock, raised her hand to catch the shuttlecock, and happily ran over and shouted: "Wow! Miss, you are so beautiful! β
Pretty indeed.
Hua Qingxue, who is in the daily style, suddenly dressed up seriously, and the effect is very amazing! The skin is like clotted fat, the head of the mantis is moth-eyebrowed, and the eyes seem to have clear waves rippling between the light flows, which is delicate and vulgar.
The invited mother-in-law is experienced and grasps Hua Qingxue's weak temperament, and dresses her up, making her soft and dignified.
Fu Tingye stared at her in a daze, only feeling that everything was pleasing to the eye, and how satisfied he was.
The old woman is very good at talking, and said with a smile: "Miss has a good background, and she is as beautiful as a fairy just by dressing up a little." β
Fu Tingye waved his hand, extremely heroic, "Go down and receive the reward!" β
"General Xie's reward!" The mother-in-law happily followed the guards down.
Hua Qingxue stood stiffly at the door, looking embarrassed, "I feel so heavy!" β
She looked in the mirror, and of course she knew that the effect was good, but the price was terrible! It took a whole hour to comb my hair!
That's the equivalent of two hours! It's horrible!
In order to fix this so-called cloud bun, it is also a painstaking effort, osmanthus head oil is indispensable, and there are all kinds of beads and hairpins.
Hua Qingxue stiffened her neck and took two small steps forward, and said uncomfortably: "I don't dare to shake my head." β
Feel the slightest shake and a lot of gold, silver or pearls will fall off your head.
Fu Tingye walked over in a few steps and took her hand, "What are you doing shaking your head when you have nothing to do." β
Hua Qingxue: "......"
Hmm, I think he has a point.
Huan'er, who was following her, surrounded her and checked it seriously, and reassured: "Miss, don't be afraid, it's very firm." β
Hua Qingxue exhaled softly, trying not to make herself nervous.
"Go get the present, let's go."
Fu Tingye couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her cautious appearance, she was so beautiful and beautiful, but she was more restrained than usual.
Fu Tingye said to her: "Go and come back when you go to see each other, you won't stay too long." β
Hua Qingxue smiled, "I'm fine, it's just that I'm a little unaccustomed to dressing up like this all of a sudden." β
After she finished speaking, she squinted slightly and looked Fu Tingye up and down, and said with a smile: "The general is so handsome today!" β
Fu Tingye: "Handsome? β
Hua Qingxue covered her lips and chuckled, "That's it...... Very handsome, very manly. β
Fu Tingye was satisfied, hooked the corners of his mouth and led her out with a happy face-
β¦β¦
The famous General Fu brought a young woman to the banquet and immediately became the focus of the crowd.
Everyone knows that Fu Tingye is twenty-eight years old, but he has never been married, and now a woman suddenly appears next to him, does that mean ...... The great general, good things are coming?
Everyone looked sideways, guessing Hua Qingxue's identity, and guessing who was so lucky and climbed the thick thighs of King Zhenbei.
They saw that Hua Qingxue was soft and beautiful, and her demeanor was graceful, she should be a famous lady, but if it was a noble girl in the capital, why didn't anyone know her?
"A lot of people are watching us." Hua Qingxue whispered to Fu Tingye.
She was a little nervous, her back was always straight, her head did not dare to deviate, she tried not to squint, but in the eyes of others, she was noble and extraordinary.
Fu Tingye replied: "They saw that you were beautiful, so they looked at you twice." β
"Nonsense." Hua Qingxue blushed and glanced at him. After entering the mansion, she had already seen several good-looking ladies and ladies, all of whom were much more beautiful than her.
Fu Tingye was made hot by her shy and timid little eyes, and his bones were a little crispy.
"Don't move, the hairpin is loose." As he spoke, he lifted his hand to touch her bun, "This bead is loose." β
Hua Qingxue really didn't dare to move, and said softly: "Then you help me tighten." β
Fu Tingye deliberately pressed it twice, and touched her little face without a trace when he withdrew his hand, and he was immediately satisfied.
Hua Qingxue didn't know that she was being molested, because Fu Tingye was usually too serious, so she didn't think about it at all.
"Are you done?" She asked, still not daring to move her head.
Fu Tingye bowed slightly, "Well, it won't fall again." β
The people who were secretly observing around were so surprised that they inhaled secretly.
The general, who has never been close to women, took the initiative to help the woman tighten the hairpin, how rare is this?! Today's flower banquet is really not in vain! I can see this scene!
Fu Tingye took Hua Qingxue to the front hall, and the guests behind immediately exploded, asking around who the woman next to the general was!
Old Madam Fu was talking to several ladies in the front hall, and the maid who came in to pass the word said that Fu Tingye had arrived, and the smile on Old Madam Fu's face increased a little.
"Go and call Wanmiao over and meet her cousin."
The maid answered.
Mrs. Xu's expression was a little subtle.
One of the ladies smiled and said, "Wanmiao seems to be sixteen years old, right?" If you get married in the future, I don't know how distressed you will be. β
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "When I took it over, I was only a little bit of a villain, I was tired of raising her with an old bone, and now I am going to get married, and I can't bear to marry anyone." β
Several ladies all smiled knowingly, but Mrs. Xu's smile was a little stiff.
She hesitated in her heart, could it be ...... Mrs. Fu has other plans for Cheng Wanmiao?
If that's the case, wouldn't the son be a vain calculation?!
Mrs. Xu's heart was worried, and she was a little chaotic for a while, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.
A maid rushed in in a panic and shouted, "Oh no! Old lady, the young lady has fallen into the water! β
"What?!" Old Madam Fu stood up suddenly, and her eyes were suddenly dizzy!
