Chapter 176: Going to the Feast
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Green Willow Courtyard.
The curtain opened, and a man in a dark brocade robe came out first, with a long figure and a graceful demeanor.
The man got out of the carriage and turned to the inside of the carriage and said a few words, and soon the curtain was lifted again, and a pair of white hands stretched out from it, and then a woman got out of the carriage.
The woman was wearing a lotus-colored peach blossom cloud mist gown, and on her feet were soft-soled cloud brocade shoes, and the tips of the shoes were decorated with pearls the size of a thumb and belly, which were worth a lot just by looking at them.
Looking at the woman's beautiful appearance again, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, her appearance is not stunning, but it is rare to look at it.
There was also a carriage parked at the door at the moment, and naturally someone noticed them and couldn't help whispering in their hearts.
There are rumors outside that there is a concubine in Lord Lu's backyard, it is said that she is very favored, and it is difficult to say how much this word is, this will see this Aunt Bai leaning on Lord Lu's arms as soon as she got out of the car, but Lord Lu was not happy at all, but reached out and grabbed her shoulder, just this greasy and crooked energy, I think I also know that it should be extremely favored.
Bai Zhi squinted at the man next to her, she couldn't stand on her legs now, and she became weak as soon as she landed, which was all a good thing done by the initiator next to her.
Breaking the clothes she had prepared in the morning, and almost causing her to go out without clothes, she looked at his face, which she couldn't see enough, and only felt a little annoyed by gritting her teeth.
As if sensing the anger in her eyes, the man lowered his head, with a deep smile hidden in his eyebrows, "Admittedly, I know I'm good-looking, but you don't have to look at it all the time." ”
Bai Zhi, "......" You are right, you are good-looking, everything you say is right.
She was completely angry now, but she didn't dare to speak, in other words, it was useless to speak.
The hand hidden in her waist pinched her waist, and Lord Lu said seriously, "Men and women are not at the same table, I should be in the front yard at that time, you yourself have to take care of yourself in the backyard, and let people tell me if there is anything." ”
Bai Zhi snorted, "As long as you don't bully me, no one will bully me." ”
Lu Zhiyuan was funny, he carried her into the gate, and then passed through the hanging flower door, then let her go, and then handed it to the small bottle standing behind him, briefly admonished her, and followed the little girl who came to greet her to the banquet hall.
Bai Zhi naturally had a maid on her side to greet her, and turned around and went to the backyard.
This annex in Yufu is called Green Willow Villa, a very typical Jiangnan garden, rockery and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by stacked greenery, but it is very pleasing to the eye.
Walk through the long corridor and you'll find yourself in the backyard. After walking forward for a while, I saw a small white stone bridge in front of me, and after crossing the bridge, I arrived at the flower hall.
Bai Zhi came late, most of the people had arrived, Mrs. Yu was the main family and naturally sat in the first seat, she was smiling and talking to the ladies and ladies present, attracting bursts of laughter from time to time.
The people had already greeted her in advance, and as soon as Bai Zhi arrived, Mrs. Yu saw it, got up and greeted her, and was even more pleased to see her smile, "It's coming, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, I'm afraid I won't come." ”
Bai Zhi saluted her, "There are some things on the way to Shicai, which are delayed. ”
Mrs. Yu also returned the salute, holding her hand affectionately, obviously it was the first time they met, as if they had seen her many times, and approached her and whispered, "Your first time here, you must be restrained, if you are not happy, just tell me." ”
Bai Zhi nodded and thanked her, "I know, thank you, Mrs. Yu." ”
Tao Shi covered his lips and smiled when he heard this, "How old are you who I am empty, let's not call Mrs. and Mrs. Shengfen, why don't I call you Sister Bai, how about you call me Sister Tao?" ”
Bai Zhi's identity is a concubine, if it stands to reason, Tao should call her Aunt Bai, but she is afraid that this will make Bai Zhi unhappy among these ladies, so she changed her name and is called a sister, but she doesn't care what her identity is.
"Sister Tao." Since it was Tao's kindness, Bai Zhi naturally accepted it with a smile, before she came, she heard Lord Lu say that this lady in the prefect's mansion was very thoughtful and extremely tactful, and this time she saw her, she felt that it was indeed the case.
Tao pulled Bai Zhi into the table, introduced each other, and saluted each other, and then sat down again.
This crab banquet was attended by people with heads and faces in the Jinling realm, and part of the reason why everyone came was to see who this rumored Aunt Bai, who was extremely favored by Lord Lu, was sacred.
It's a little surprising to see this.,It's not very outstanding in terms of appearance alone.,But being favored is certain.,Not to mention the rest, it's worth a lot of money just to wear it all over the body.。 The ladies present were all watching silently, and Bai Zhi was also watching them.
However, she looked at it more casually, although Tao had already introduced it, she still couldn't match any of them, and she could only have an impression.
The hairpin on Sister Bai's head looks chic, and it really matches her sister's good complexion. Look, I've never seen it before. Someone spoke first, and Bai Zhi turned her head and saw a smiling woman.
The woman's surname was Wang, and her husband was a petty official under Lu Zhiyuan.
Bai Zhi recalled who she was, and then smiled back, "Sister Wang has won the award, if you like it, I will give it to you." Originally, she went out with a pearl head this time, but Lu Zhiyuan made her good clothes so wrinkled that she couldn't wear them, so she just looked the best with that set of clothes and that set of pearls.
The hairpin on her head is in the style of a ruby, and Lu Zhiyuan saw that she was really annoyed, and used it to coax her, a typical slap and a sweet date, so she didn't like to see this hairpin very much.
Wang was stunned by what she said, and then waved his hand again and again, "Where can I take Sister Bai's favor, I'm just saying it casually." ”
Bai Zhi didn't say much when she heard her say this, so she smiled and didn't speak. She originally wanted to say a few more words, but she really didn't know what to say, everyone was not familiar with it, and she couldn't even find a pleasant topic.
Tao Shi saw that she said something and had no intention of continuing to speak, thinking that her character should not be a person with many words, so he automatically took over the topic, which immediately attracted Wang and other ladies to talk.
Bai Zhi saw that no one was talking to her anymore, but she was a lot more relaxed, and she would sit and drink tea and eat snacks, which was very comfortable.
Tao Shi looked at her out of the corner of his eye while entertaining the guests, although she was a concubine, she was rare not arrogant or impatient, and every piece of jewelry she wore was worth a lot of money, and she had not shown it a word since she came in.
After another burst of laughter, a woman in brocade said with a smile, "It's boring for us to patronize and talk here, it's still early, isn't there a troupe at Sister Tao's house, why don't we talk while listening to the play." ”
Her proposal was echoed by everyone, and Tao naturally nodded, "The troupe is ready-made, I'll let people prepare to go, let's go slowly first, and when they are ready, they are almost ready." ”
Tao turned his head sideways and ordered the big maid beside him to say a few words, and the maid saluted and retreated.
The theater is located in the West Garden, and if you want to go there, you have to pass through the entire back garden.
The men are enjoying the flowers in the back garden, and they just happened to meet them when they went out.
Bai Zhi stood in the crowd, glanced up, and saw that Master Lu seemed to be looking at her, glaring at him quickly, and then staggered his gaze and ignored him.
She was still angry in her heart, her back hurt so badly that she had to pretend to be fine, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
Lord Lu didn't have any special emotions on his face, but he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, Aunt Bai couldn't tell how to scold him in her heart, thinking about it, she felt that she should scold a few words, he really made too much trouble in the morning.
Tao secretly observed the expressions of the two, thinking that the rumors were true, and Lord Lu did treat this Aunt Bai differently.
Since they met together, they naturally wanted to say a few words, and seeing that Tao said that he was going to the theater to listen to the play, Yu Zhifu proposed to go over together.
The theater building is divided into two floors, and everyone sat down on the viewing stage, ordered a play, and soon sang on the side of the theater.
Under the stage, there are also men's seats and women's seats, and Bai Zhi is watching the play on the women's seat, and suddenly feels a little unhappy in her belly, so she gets up and asks the little maid to take her to make it easier.
It happened that several ladies also had this intention, so Tao led everyone to the west wing. Since it was a banquet today and there were many people coming, as the host's family, Tao naturally prepared a room in advance for the guests to use.
When I go back, I usually go back the way I came, but I don't want anyone to suggest taking another route.
"Let's take the path on the left, I know this path is the most unique along the road." The proposed person's surname is Lin, and her husband is Tongzhi Jiang Wenjian of the Salt Transportation Division, and he holds an official position in Liupin.
Tao nodded naturally, and everyone went to the other side together.
Bai Zhi quietly glanced at Lin Shi who was talking just now, and the reason why she noticed her was because she had been looking not very good today, and even Tao Shi saw it and asked a few words, saying that she had committed some old diseases after the autumn, and it was no big deal.
Walking the path proposed by the Lin family, the scenery along the road is indeed good, the banana leaves on both sides cover the entire path, there are flowers and water, they are naturally watching and walking slowly.
When turning the corner, there was a sudden strange sound behind the rockery, and at first everyone didn't understand what the sound was, but the closer they got to it, the clearer it became, and the clearer it was, the more ugly the faces of the people were. Among them, the most ugly face is Tao, she is the master's family, and such a shameful thing happens at home, I can't wait for her to immediately arrest the shameless dog man and woman.
Behind the rockery is obviously the sound of a couple of men and women in love.
Bai Zhi was also stunned, she really couldn't imagine that she could encounter this kind of thing when she came to a banquet, and she couldn't say anything for a while.
"You flirt with a woman from a good family in broad daylight, if you are seen, be careful and your reputation will not be guaranteed." The woman's numb voice came to mind, and at the same time as she remembered it, a very ecstatic cry came.
"What are you afraid of, they will all watch the show, who will come." The man's heavy gasp sounded, and then he laughed a few times, "You little goblin, see how I fix you." ”
