Chapter 38 Becoming Famous
Hearing Jiang Wanxiu say so much, Song Yuanxi still asked in an impatient tone, "And then?" ”
Jiang Wanxiu bit her lip lightly, and asked tentatively, "Even if Wanxiu told Song Gongzi about this matter, can Shizi help think of a solution?" ”
I saw that Song Yuanxi's thick and moderate red lips were shining with a dizzying smile at this time, and he sneered and said, "What does your family's business have to do with me!" ”
Hearing such an answer, Jiang Wanxiu pinched the powder fist hidden in her sleeve, looked at Song Yuanxi with wide eyes, raised her slender jade finger and pointed at him and said:
"You ....."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Yuanxi stood up with a sneer and waved his hand: "Okay, you guys want to go slowly!" ”
After that, he left without looking back.
Xia Zhu on the side said indignantly: "Why is this prince like this, if you don't help, you still talk so badly."
Jiang Wanxiu was worried at this time that the only hope she had just had was shattered again, she rubbed her eyebrows and sighed: "Alas. If only he could help...."
At dusk, the two had been out for more than half a day, and when they saw that it was getting late, they hurried back to the house.
After dinner, Jiang Wanxiu lay on the bed alone, playing with her hands with her hair hanging down to her chest.
Thinking of Song Yuanxi's speech and attitude during the day today, Jiang Wanxiu was inexplicably a little stingy in her heart, she didn't care, some time ago she felt that he was not a bad person in her previous life, so she had a good impression of him, but she didn't expect that it was because she was clumsy, and the man of the Song family was really average.
Stretched out his hand and pounded the mattress, put his head under the quilt and fell asleep.
Xia Zhu, who came in to blow out the lamp, saw that the young lady looked angry, and expected that it was definitely the incident of today's teahouse that caused the young lady to sulk, so he sneered softly, walked out and gently closed the door.
Tonight, Jiang Wanxiu had a dream.
In the dream, she was still born in her previous life, alone in a dilapidated courtyard, there was no one around, Xia Zhu was not there, Qiu Ju was not there, her father and mother had already died, her brother was also depressed and died, and Song Chen's face of contempt for her and Bai Qingqing's ridicule of her flashed again and again.
With an exclamation, I woke up from the dream.
Seeing that he was still in his room before going to bed, Jiang Wanxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
On the second day, Jiang Wanxiu came to Heshoutang and was about to go in to greet the old lady, but Mama Li at the door stopped her.
"Miss, the Prime Minister's wife has just come, and she is talking to the old lady, and the eldest lady will come back later."
The corners of Jiang Wanxiu's eyes twitched slightly, her eyes glanced into the hall, and asked, "Mama Li, is Mrs. Chen here?" Do you know what it is? ”
Mama Li knew that Jiang Wanxiu was worried about the second miss, so she hurriedly lowered her body and replied: "This old slave is not very clear, and when I went in to serve in front, I vaguely heard that it seemed to be about the marriage of the second miss."
Jiang Wanxiu raised her eyebrows, glanced at the hall, and said, "Thank you, Mama Li." ”
Leave the courtyard of Tsurujudo and pace back and forth in the garden.
How is this good, I haven't thought of how to refuse yet, I don't expect that Song Yuanxi to be found, now that Mrs. Chen has come, if the wedding date is set today, then this matter will be difficult to do.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanxiu sighed lightly, with a hint of cumbersomeness between her eyebrows.
Seeing that there was no response after waiting at this time, Jiang Wanxiu sent Xia Zhu to inquire in the old lady's courtyard, and the prime minister's wife came to inform her as soon as she left.
After a long time, Xia Zhu hadn't come back yet, Jiang Wanxiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and was thinking about going over to see the situation in person, and just halfway through, he saw Xia Zhu running over panting.
"Miss, the prime minister's wife has just left, and the old lady told the ladies to go to Heshoutang."
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, Jiang Wanxiu didn't have time to think about it, so she hurried over.
When I went, the second lady, Jiang Wanwen, my mother and Bai Qingqing were already in the hall.
The old lady raised the corners of Yang's mouth and said slowly: "The prime minister's wife just came this morning to discuss with me the marriage between Wanwen and the third young master of her family. ”
Hearing that the prime minister's wife was coming, Bai Qingqing was secretly overjoyed in his heart, and without waiting for the old lady to finish speaking, he hurriedly asked:
"How about grandmother, did you come over to give a dowry and set a good date?"
When the second lady Su Lan heard this, her legs and feet were weak, and Jiang Wanwen beside her hurriedly supported her, only to see her ask with a little crying: "Old lady, does Wanwen really want to marry her?" ”
The old lady glanced at everyone, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more obvious, and her voice said with a little joy:
"No, Mrs. Prime Minister, she is here to withdraw from the marriage."
Everyone exclaimed, "What? ”
Jiang Wanwen reacted first, and happily took the hand of the second lady Su Lan and said, "Mother, great, I don't have to marry." ”
Bai Qingqing, who was on the side, gritted his teeth angrily when he heard such an answer, and stared at Jiang Wanwen's mother and daughter who were rejoicing.
When Jiang Wanxiu heard such a result, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, adjusted her mood and looked at the old lady who was sitting and said:
"Grandmother, Wan Xiu wants to know why the Prime Minister's wife suddenly changed her mind?"
"She said that the previous Taoist priest went to the Prime Minister's Mansion again yesterday, saying that she had miscalculated a few days ago, and Wanwen was not the best candidate, but the little daughter of a distant relative who came to Song Mansion to live temporarily in the past few days, and she went to the Song family yesterday to propose marriage, and the little daughter of the Song Mansion relatives also readily agreed to the marriage, and directly set the date and gave the dowry."
After the old lady finished speaking, her eyes gestured to the box placed on the floor of the side hall, and said:
"I said that I was sorry for our Jiang family, and sent someone to send a box of fine silk and some jewelry, and I will use it as an apology, and I will divide it for a while, so let's use it separately."
Mrs. Jiang also smiled at this time and said, "Old lady, this is very good, it is really the best of both worlds." ”
The old lady laughed, her eyes narrowed into a slit because of the smile, and said slowly: "Yes, it's good to solve it, fortunately, the Taoist priest changed his mouth again, and God blessed our Jiang family to avoid this difficulty." ”
Mrs. Jiang nodded heavily and lowered her eyes, "I'm just afraid that I will suffer the little daughter of the Song family's relatives in the future." ”
Su Lan, who was still rejoicing just now, heard this, and her heart suddenly became unhappy, her face changed, and she said softly: "Madam, what you said is not right, it is better to suffer others than to suffer our own young lady!" ”
Jiang Wanxiu ignored their words, just stood on the side, frowning, and wondered in her heart, how could it be so coincidental, she just said that she was with Song Yuanxi the day before yesterday, and today the prime minister's wife came to cancel the marriage contract, could it be that he came forward to solve this matter?
Jiang Wanxiu shook her head, thinking of Song Yuanxi's arrogant attitude that day, it would definitely not be him!
As soon as this incident passed, Jiang's mansion was peaceful for a while.
The next day, Tsurujudo.
The old lady smiled at Jiang Wanxiu and said, "By the way, three days later, the Kyoto Literary Society, you can prepare and go with Qingqing." I bought you a dress, and you wore it that day, and the officials and eunuchs in the capital will go, and you must be the most beautiful,"
Jiang Wanxiu was helpless, as soon as she heard that many people would go, she thought that there must be the two sons of the Song family, Song Chen was unwilling to see each other again, and Song Yuanxi was since that day, Jiang Wanxiu held a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that seeing him would make people suspicious.
But the old lady has spoken, and she is powerless to refute, just go to meet everyone, maybe she can meet the nobles in the future, then make the best use of them.
"Thank you, grandmother." Jiang Wanxiu smiled.
The old lady really likes Jiang Wanxiu more and more now. Bai Qingqing and Jiang Wanwen were very jealous, especially Bai Qingqing wanted to kill Jiang Wanxiu immediately, but after the previous lessons, she didn't dare to act rashly now, so she hid it, she couldn't see the slightest hatred in her eyes, and she was full of smiles.
Jiang Wanwen smiled affectionately, "My sister will definitely be able to make a big splash in the Kyoto Cultural Society, so that the capital will know that our eldest lady of the Jiang family is a stunning figure." ”
"My sister has won the prize. My sister is also a famous beauty, so I naturally can't compare to my sister. Jiang Wanxiu also looked at her with a smile. Her eyes fell on Jiang Wanwen's face, knowing that she was obviously jealous of herself to death at this time, but she still had to smile gently.
Jiang Wanxiu is the same, the hatred in the past and this life is combined, and she can't wait to kill them now, but she also laughs without flaws
If you do everything like this, you can be regarded as the most poisonous woman's heart. But Jiang Wanxiu would rather be a poisonous woman than be as stupid as in her previous life.
"My sister is humble." Jiang Wanwen said, and the conversation changed, "Grandmother, can Wen'er also go to the Kyoto Cultural Society?" ”
Before the old lady could speak, Bai Qingqing retorted, "How can a concubine be qualified to participate in this kind of literary meeting!" ”
"In terms of normal times, Sister Wanwen is not qualified enough. Some time ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion was pushed away, and this time at the literary meeting, my sister also knows some poems, and I don't know which handsome person will take a fancy to her, but you can also find a better person. ”
Jiang Wanxiu can best grasp the old lady's thoughts in this life, and leaned over and said, "Wanxiu thinks that you might as well give your sister a chance and let her go with us." ”
Before the old lady spoke, Bai Qingqing already knew that Jiang Wanxiu's words moved the old lady, and Jiang Wanwen could go to the Jiangzhou Cultural Conference.
Unexpectedly, she had already dug the fire pit of the Prime Minister's Mansion for Jiang Wanwen, and Jiang Wanxiu had such a great ability to pull her again.
is worthy of being the most difficult woman in the Jiang family to deal with now.
Sure enough, the old lady's gaze fell on Jiang Wanwen's face, and there was a loose look. Bai Qingqing was anxious when he saw it, he was afraid to let Jiang Wanwen go with him, and was about to say something, when he heard Mrs. Jun say, "Wanwen is also beautiful and sensible, and talented, but it's a pity that you are just a concubine, otherwise the old body will definitely choose a family affair for you." ”
"Grandmother, Wanwen knows that you are for my good. Wanwen implored her to participate in the Kyoto Literary Society. Jiang Wanwen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
The old lady said, "Good. This time, I specially allowed you to go with your two sisters. ”
Three days passed in a flash, and the Kyoto Bunkai Society.
Presided over by Lin Wenxi, a local Confucian in Beijing, a banquet was set up in the Lin Family Annex, and the Kyoto Cultural Conference was held.
Jiang Wanxiu is wearing a silver-white goddess dress today, with a half-pulled green silk, a silver-white gauze belt, two silver carved hairpins in her hair, a pair of silver chain earrings, white clothes are better than snow, and her clothes are fluttering, there is a feeling of a goddess descending to earth, and she is amazingly beautiful.
She got out of the carriage and just walked into the entrance of the Wenhui Hall, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Next to her is Bai Qingqing, who is wearing a gorgeous peony embroidered long skirt, this skirt is still specially made by her for this cultural meeting, and it is matched with a set of elegant and atmospheric jewelry, dignified and beautiful.
But she and Jiang Wanxiu walked together, but Guanghua was completely covered up by Jiang Wanxiu.
In the previous life, a group of ladies walked together, and others saw Bai Qingqing first, and then saw others, but in this life, they saw Jiang Wanxiu first, and then saw her.
Jiang Wanxiu was born extremely beautiful, but she was just malnourished and had a bad complexion and was not good at grooming, so she was not conspicuous in a place like the Jiang family. After being reborn, she knew how precious a woman's face was, and today she deliberately made up a little to hide her not very good complexion, and added a fairy skirt to add three points of fairy energy to her.
Bai Qingqing is a dignified beauty, and Jiang Wanxiu is a stunning beauty. Originally, they were all beautiful, but walking together, a beautiful custom, a beautiful fairy.
Who's that young lady? Never seen before. ”
"That's right, isn't the old lady of the Jiang family the most beloved Bai Qingqing next to her? She can't be the eldest lady who has been unknown in Jiang Mansion, right? ”
