Chapter 133: Mandala (Double Change in One for Pink)
Sheng Siyan smiled, and suddenly felt that the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, as if she was being targeted by someone, she looked up and looked around, but she didn't see anyone looking at her, it was really strange.
"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Yu'er saw Sheng Siyan looking around, and asked curiously.
Sheng Siyan shook his head, feeling that most of it was because he felt wrong.
"It's fine." Sheng Siyan smiled and took Zheng Yu'er's hand and walked towards the Feilai Pavilion together.
Several girls from the Wen family of the Marquis of Changyuan walked in the forefront.
The youngest fourth girl, Wen Yi, looked back at Sheng Siyan from the side, and at the same time glanced at Li Yiniang, the eldest girl of the Shangshu family not far from them, from time to time.
Li Yanniang walked with the girl of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department with a straight face, and like Wu Chanjuan, she was also very listless.
For the sake of her family, her mother broke her heart, but she never got a word of approval from the prince.
Li Yanniang doesn't care about herself, but this feeling of being looked down upon is very uncomfortable.
When she saw the four girls of the Wen family secretly looking at her, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, not wanting to deal with them.
Because she knew that the Wen family of the Marquis of Changyuan Mansion also coveted the position of the princess.
It was because of the intervention of the Wen family that the prince did not dare to go against the queen mother's family, so he kept dragging their family, not saying that it was good, nor saying that it was bad, and it would be delayed for a year!
Li Yanniang simply slowed down and waited for Wu Chanjuan to come over and walk side by side with her.
"Juan'er, why are you so depressed?" Li Yiniang was good friends with Wu Chanjuan, and she was very surprised to see that she had been listless since she entered the palace today.
Li Yiniang couldn't think of anything unhappy about Wu Chanjuan.
The Wu State Mansion is one of the four major palaces. Her mother, Grandma Zheng, is shrewd and capable. She is also the only daughter of a double pupil in the Great Xia Dynasty for thousands of years. What else could she ask for?
Wu Chanjuan didn't want to show her decadence in front of Zhou Yanli, so she shook her head with a smile, "I was so excited yesterday, I didn't fall asleep, and I was sleepy, so I have been sleepy today." To prove her claim, she yawned slightly.
Covering his mouth with his hand, he smiled embarrassedly.
Li Yiniang smiled and shook her head. "Don't pretend to be smart in front of me. You can't hide it from me. β
Wu Chanjuan heard Li Yanniang say this, and her eyes were red. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a low voice, "It's really hard to say." β
Zhou Yanli listened attentively next to her, and said in surprise: "Someone like Miss Wu Er also has troubles?" β
These words amused both Wu Chanjuan and Li Yiniang.
"How can we not have troubles? There are a lot of annoying things. Wu Chanjuan said with emotion.
Li Yanniang nodded along with her, proving that what she said was true.
Zhou Yanli said in a daze: "I thought that what did you ......want?"
Wu Chanjuan and Li Yanniang covered their sleeves and smiled, and pulled Zhou Yanli forward.
Li Yiniang and Wu Chanjuan are handkerchiefs, she knows Wu Chanjuan's thoughts, so she is very amiable to Zhou Yanli, a concubine.
The group soon came to the Feilai Pavilion. I sat down in a circle to the east and a circle to the west.
Li Yuniang watched the four girls of the Wen family go to Sheng Siyan, Zheng Yu'er and Zheng Yue'er. He pursed his lips and said, "I've never seen anyone eat alone like this." All good things in the capital have to be taken by them before they are willing. β
Wu Chanjuan also glanced over there, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Hey, aren't they looking at the emperor's grandson?" Why did you get close to the Sheng family and the Zheng family again? β
Wu Chanjuan knew that the Li family wanted Li Yuniang to be the concubine, but the queen mother's family got involved in it and wanted to marry a daughter of the Wen family to the grandson as the concubine.
She knew that the Sheng family did not have a suitable son-in-law, but there were several in the Zheng family, could it be that she fell in love with the Zheng family?
Li Yiniang attached to Wu Chanjuan's ear and said softly: "No, they are in love with this year's new champion......"
"How do you know?" Wu Chanjuan's heart was relieved, and she glanced over there with a smile.
"You can see it when you feast in Qionglin." Li Yanniang took a cup of tea and slowly turned it in her hand, "At that time, the Duchess of Sheng Guo and the new champion looked familiar, and no one else dared to fight the idea of the champion, except for their family's ......"
At that time, the queen's mother's family also took a fancy to Wang Yixing, but when they saw that the Shengguo Mansion recognized him, they took the initiative to back down.
Only the Queen Mother's family doesn't seem to have given up.
Because of the last Qionglin feast, Wu Chanjuan had a good impression of Sheng Siyan, and seeing that her Ruyi Langjun was about to be snatched away by the Queen Mother's mother's family, she felt the same hatred for the enemy, and raised her chin slightly: "I dare to fight with the Shengguo Mansion!" They are so domineering, does the Queen Mother know? β
"Who knows? Most of them do. Li Yiniang hesitated and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother loves the eldest girl of the Wen family the most." β
Wu Chanjuan looked at the eldest girl of the Wen family, who was said to be the Empress Dowager Xiao when she was young, bit her lower lip, and suddenly smiled: "Let's watch first." Aren't they all here today? As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Li Yanniang.
Li Yuniang understood, clapped her hands and smiled: "Exactly!" Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! β
I saw that the four girls of the Wen family over there had already sat next to Sheng Siyan, Zheng Yu'er and Zheng Yue'er, and several people were talking and laughing, and they were actually very enthusiastic.
Li Yanniang and Wu Chanjuan glanced at each other, and raised their eyebrows.
I heard that the four girls of the Wen family are very capable of showing off their wisdom......
Sheng Siyan sat on the edge of the railing with a smile, listening to the conversation of several of them, and turned around to lie on the colonnade of the Feilai Pavilion, and stretched out his hand to reach the waterfall hanging from the small mountain peak next to him.
The waterhole below is said to be bottomless, the waterfall is not big, but the sound of the water dingdong, smashing to the surface of the water, the mist is steaming, and it reflects a colorful halo in the sun, which is very beautiful.
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows.
"Miss Shanda, what are you doing at home? Where to go to school? Under whom? "Wen Yi, the eldest girl of the Wen family, has been carefully looking at Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan looked back and smiled: "I ate and slept at home, slept and ate, never went to school, and didn't even recognize a few words." As for Mr., there are a few embroidery girls who teach girls to be red, and then they learn some housework from my mother. "Try to speak badly of yourself. lest these girls have to compare poetry and words with her. She doesn't want to be a "copyist"......
Wen Yiroom was stunned for a moment. Such a girl. I don't even know a few big characters, how can I marry a champion as a wife? Just because she was good-looking? - I was not badly born.
Her sister Wen Yijia also thought so, giggling and said, "Yo, you hurry up to learn literacy now, I don't know if it's too late......"
"Why should I learn to read and write?" Sheng Siyan pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't want to be the champion in the imperial examination!" β
Wen Yi's room and Wen Yijia's faces suddenly changed, and they didn't know how to interface.
They can't say that in order to marry the champion. You have to learn to read, right?
Why give people a preconceived impression as if she has already married Zhuang Yuanlang!
Wen Yishun saw that the two sisters were speechless for a while, so he hurriedly said: "Although the woman does not take the top prize in the imperial examination, nor does she be the official slaughterer, but the housekeeper director must also know a few words, otherwise she can't read the account book, wouldn't she be scolded by the family?" β
"You say look at the ledger? I'm good at that. I know all the words. Sheng Siyan said with a smile, not angry at all.
Zheng Yu'er and Zheng Yue'er both saw that the four girls of the Wen family were not good, so they relieved Sheng Siyan, "There are not many words on the account book." Naturally, it's hard to think about it. He also said that the Duchess of Sheng Guo Wang was erudite and talented, and Sheng Siyan followed her to learn. Better than following any female gentleman.
A girl next to her is surnamed Zhong, the daughter of Ya Shilang, who is in charge of the management of salt and iron in the household department, and is good friends with Niu Xiaoye on weekdays. She listened to it, leaned over and said in surprise, "The grand girl is too humble, isn't she?" I've heard people say that you have a genius, and you can't forget it...... Last time at the dust washing feast in the Mansion of Wu Guo, I still had a couplet with the little prince Xia Zhi, could it be that I remembered it wrong? β
At that dust feast, the queen mother's house and the queen's maiden family did not go, so I don't know about this period of the past.
Sheng Siyan was embarrassed. Unexpectedly, although Niu Xiaoye is not here, her "spirit" is really eternal......
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, that's a joke, you can't take it seriously. Besides, I didn't say I couldn't read. Sheng Siyan spread his hands helplessly.
What she just said was that "she doesn't even know a few words", but it is not "completely illiterate", it is just that the girls of the literary family make up for her illiteracy at all.
Wen Yiroom rolled his eyes, smiled and nodded Sheng Siyan's shoulder with the fan in his hand, and said, "When the grand girl said this, did she look down on our sisters?" β
"Of course not! Of course not! Sheng Siyan hurriedly stood up and blessed him, "I really only recognize a few words." can't afford to show off in front of several sisters of the Wen family. She said, glancing at the girl who had interjected.
There was a coldness in her eyes, and the girl trembled, and she retracted her head, not daring to intervene again.
Wen Yimuro smiled and said, "I can see that the grand girl is too modest. If you don't come to something real, the grand girl doesn't want to show her talents. With that, she stood up and walked to the palace maid who was waiting in the Feilai Pavilion, and whispered a few words to her, and the palace maid nodded frequently, and went down from the Feilai Pavilion, and after a while, she came over with the instrument of beating the drum and passing the flowers.
Playing drumming and passing flowers again?!
Sheng Siyan just wanted to touch his forehead and moan. - Don't let people have a good time?!
Wouldn't it be nice to listen to the sound of the waterfall birds, eat and chat?!
"Girls, little brothers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought his ministers to play Liuyu couplets in the Water Curtain Villa at the foot of the opposite mountain, we can't lose to them." Wen Yijia, the second girl of the Wen family, waved her hand.
Sheng Siyan took a look and saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who led a group of people and sat down in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain on the other side.
The pavilion was built on the water, and a small waterway with twists and turns flowed through the middle of the pavilion.
The men took varnish glasses and filled them with wine, put them in the crooked waterway in the middle of the pavilion, and let it float freely, and whoever stopped in front of the cup had to drink a glass of wine, and then they made a poem, and filled another glass with wine, put it in the waterway, and went on until they stopped in front of another person, and the cycle continued.
They listened to it for a while, and only this year's new champions, Bangyan and Tanhua couplets had the most, which was like their special performance.
Wu Chanjuan heard this and hurriedly squeezed over to watch. She looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see, so she pouted and said, "...... They are all scholars, so what's so fun. Then he sat back and had wine with Li Yanniang.
Wen Yiroom waited for everyone to see enough, then stood up with a smile and said, "This time." Let's play a different drum and pass the flowers. He said. He held up one of the sticks in his hand. "Whoever has a flower, come and draw a lot, and see what the flower sticks let you do, and do it. Good no good?! β
"Good!" The girls and boys watched the men at the foot of the mountain playing with liuyu couplets, and their hands were already itchy, and when they heard Wen Yi's mention, they applauded. I haven't played this game before!
Sheng Siyan felt a chill down his spine.
She wanted to run away, but others wouldn't let her run away.
Wen Yishu walked over. took the initiative to take Sheng Siyan's hand and pulled her into the middle and sat down.
Sheng Siyan couldn't, so he had to play drumming and passing flowers with the girls and boys here.
The drums rang out, and the silk flower passed in the hands of the girls and boys, round by round, falling into the hands of different girls and boys.
The flower sticks drawn in front of you are all very easy to make a poem or a pair.
They are all big families, or girls and children of official eunuchs. Just make a poem, and it is not a problem to connect sentences.
The question is. After each flower pick is drawn, the stick is put into another holder, and it is not put back for recycling.
Seeing that the simple flower sticks were all drawn, leaving only a few lonely ones inside, Sheng Siyan couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.
I'm really afraid of something.
This time, after a round of drums, the silk flower happened to fall into Sheng Siyan's hand.
She knew she couldn't escape.
Sheng Siyan smiled, got up and drew a flower pick at random, and handed it to Wen Yicong, the fourth girl of the Wen family, who was beating the drum and passing the flowers.
Miss Wen Si smiled and unfolded the flower stick, and read aloud: "Mandala flowers!" - Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where! Those who get this sign are close at hand! The signature said: When there are flowers folded, they must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches! Because you have to fold a saffron flower to suit the occasion! β
After reading this lot, Miss Wen Si was a little unhappy. Why can she even draw a lot......
Good son-in-law! This son-in-law is still close at hand! I don't know if it's the champion Lang who is in the following couplet!
Sheng Siyan was funny and very happy to hear it, she didn't have to do those poems and lyrics, and she didn't need to sing small songs, it's so good!
"Well, where is the safflower? I'm going to fold one. Sheng Siyan looked left and right, and saw that the edge of the Feilai Pavilion was full of strange grasses and vines, verdant, and he couldn't see a single red flower, not only flattened his mouth.
"Huh? No safflowers? Then you'll have to listen to the commander. Whatever the commander tells you to do, you have to do! Wen Yicong said very happily, his face flushed with excitement.
"Uh, tell me about it." Sheng Siyan looked around looking for safflowers, and at the same time perfunctory Wen Yi.
"I heard that the Yue girl sings and picks green lotus, which is the grand scene of Jiangzhou Road in the south of the Yangtze River. Miss Sheng may want to go to Jiangnan to be a daughter-in-law, so why don't you dance a song and dance for us! β
It is difficult for Sheng Siyan to sing and dance, the girls in the villages of the Great Xia Dynasty will do this, and it is not limited to Jiangnan. When she was a child, she was in Wangjia Village and learned from the girls in the village.
But this dance can't be on the stage, and people like it won't let their girls learn this kind of dance.
When dancing this dance, you need to take off your shoes and bare feet, roll up your skirt, and expose your lotus root-like jade feet and calves.
Wen Yicong mentioned this Jianyì, not only to let Sheng Siyan humiliate her in front of everyone, but also to remind everyone that Sheng Siyan was originally a country girl, but she was lucky, she flew up the branch with her father, and she was not worthy of fighting with her sister at all!
Sheng Siyan's face paled. If there were only a few close friends here, she wouldn't mind jumping to show them.
But if she takes the opportunity to humiliate her in public with bad intentions, she will not accompany her.
"What if I don't jump?" Sheng Siyan asked with a faint smile.
"You grew up in the country, so you don't lie and say you can't jump, do you? I've heard that you're used to talking vernacular...... "Wen Yi is one year younger than Sheng Siyan, with a round face and big eyes, some curly sideburns, and an innocent and innocent look, who would have thought that she would come up with such an idea?
The three eldest girls of the Wen family smiled slightly, and did not say anything to stop their little sister.
Zheng Yuer saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I haven't seen singing and dancing, it's boring, let's change it." Well...... Do you want Siyan to tell everyone a joke? β
Wen Yicong smiled and said, "Miss Zheng, am I a commander or are you a commander?" - If you don't listen to the order, you will also be punished! Do you want to dance with the grand girl? β
Sheng Siyan was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Zheng Yu'er, "Sister Yu'er." Ignore her......"
"Hey! What do you say? Jump. Otherwise, there is something more powerful waiting for you! Wen Yi winked at the girl she was familiar with with a grin.
The girl and boy, who were good friends with the Queen Mother's mother's family, followed the noise. The sound was so loud that the birds on the hill were so frightened that they flew into the sky.
Sheng Siyan was hesitating, the girl of the Zhong family just now glanced at the girl of the Wen family, walked to Sheng Siyan's side, pointed to the top of the mountain not far away, and said, "There seems to be a red flower there......"
She looked at the place where Miss Zhong pointed out, and glared hard, only to see that it was on the top of the hill, next to the waterfall. There's a little bit of red coming out.
Sheng Siyan rubbed his eyes, stood on the railing of the Feilai Pavilion and looked at it again, only to see clearly that it was indeed a red flower!
Sheng Siyan was overjoyed, and immediately said to Wen Yicong: "There is saffron over there, I'll pick safflower, it's okay, right?" β
Originally, Wen Yicong asked her to dance and dance, because the flower stick said that she wanted to fold the red flower, and she couldn't find the red flower for a while, so she asked if she could do anything else.
Now that the safflower has been found, of course there is no need to dance and dance......
Wen Yicong nodded reluctantly. also stretched his face and glared at the girl of the Zhong family.
The girl of the Zhong family hurriedly lowered her head. I looked a little scared.
Sheng Siyan nodded to the girl of the Zhong family with a smile, thanked her, then picked up her skirt, walked out of the Feilai Pavilion, and walked along the path to the top of the hill.
She walked in a hurry, not seeing the girl of the Zhong family exchanging meaningful glances with the sisters of the Wen family.
Wen Yicong sneered in his heart.
Take off your shoes and roll up your skirt and dance with your calves exposed, or go to the top of the mountain to pick saffron, which is easier, maybe it's really true!
Wen Yiroom was a little uneasy, and wanted to beckon Sheng Siyan to come back, but in a hurry, she glanced at the group of men who were flowing in the wind, and only saw the champion of the jade tree in the wind.
It's a pity that the champion Lang couldn't take his eyes off the direction of Sheng Siyan's uphill mountain.
Wen Yishu shut up, lowered his eyes, and took a step back into the pavilion.
The girls and boys who flew to the pavilion all crowded to the edge of the pavilion and watched Sheng Siyan walk to the top of the mountain step by step with her skirt.
When he was about to get to the place where the red flowers grew, Sheng Siyan smiled, stretched out his hand, and picked the red flowers.
At this moment, a small snake about a foot long with a cockscomb on its head suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the red flower, and bit it fiercely at the tiger's mouth on Sheng Siyan's right hand.
Sheng Siyan only felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and the whole person stiffened for a moment, then lost his balance, rolled down the waterfall, and rolled down the waterhole along the roaring waterfall on the top of the mountain.
The hill was not high, and Sheng Siyan rolled down from the waterfall at the top of the mountain to the waterhole at the bottom of the mountain, and it was only a blink of an eye.
"Siyan!" Wang Yixing saw Sheng Siyan rolling down the waterhole at the foot of the mountain, screamed heartbreakingly, jumped down to the water's edge, and went upstream, wanting to go to the waterhole to save people.
But the water that flowed from the pool carried the pressure of the waterfall, and he could not swim through it even with all his strength.
The prince hurriedly said: "Go down and save people!" β
Several attendants jumped into the water and swam to the waterhole with Wang Yixing.
This qiΔ happened like a flint, and the girls and boys who flew into the pavilion screamed.
A small pebble suddenly burst into the air from the opposite side, and with a swish, Wen Yi rushed straight in from her grinning mouth, knocking a gap between her two front teeth.
Wen Yi was stunned, nervous, his throat swallowed involuntarily, and he actually swallowed the small pebble the size of a grain of rice, and suddenly cried in shock.
Just when everyone was attracted by Wen Yicong's cry, a dark shadow with blue and purple colors jumped from the opposite forest into the waterhole under the waterfall as if it were drifting.
His speed was so fast that even the most powerful guards beside the prince only thought it was a dark cloud on the horizon, and did not see a person jumping into the waterhole.
This dark black shadow with blue and purple color is none other than Zhou Huaixuan.
He could see clearly what was happening in the pavilion before, and even the Wen sisters did not escape his eyes when they changed their hands and feet.
He just didn't expect that Sheng Siyan picked a red flower and actually ran into a cockscomb snake!
The strength of the snake is only a little worse than the poisonous mountain wind.
Moreover, this cockscomb snake is still raised in the palace by Sheng Siyan's father Sheng Qiye, so as to extract venom and treat Emperor Xia Ming.
The alternative venom that Sheng Qiye found earlier was the venom of the cockscomb snake!
The Wen sisters are so scheming......
Zhou Huaixuan pursed his lips, resisted the huge momentum of the waterfall, and struggled to dive down to the pool.
Not far from the bottom of the pool, he saw Sheng Siyan's tender yellow skirt floating under the water, as beautiful and quiet as a water lily.
She was motionless, her hands and feet stretched, her eyes closed, and she was slowly sinking.
