Chapter Twenty-Five: The Prime Minister's Mansion is in Crisis
Yun Jiuji smiled and stood up to salute, Wu Ji looked enthusiastic, pulled down the chair that the little grandfather had sat on just now, and sat down unceremoniously, Yun Jiuji quietly moved her chair to the side.
"Miss Yun, I feel that I have a good relationship with Miss, and Miss's deeds make me admire it very much, so I repeatedly begged my mother to come to the door to propose marriage, hoping to tie the knot with Miss." Wu Xi did not shy away from the occasion at all, holding his orchid finger hypocritically, and his small eyes secretly sent autumn waves.
The dignified man was so twisted that Yun Jiuji only felt goosebumps fall to the ground, and everyone was amused by Wu Di's behavior and snickered.
Shang Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he played with the chess pieces, and couldn't help coughing twice. Shizi smiled lightly at the chess piece, and looked at Yun Jiuji, "Why did your neighbor provoke this sissy?" ”
Shang Qi glanced sideways at Yun Jiuji, and then at Wu Di, who was thin and unstoppable, shook his head and smiled.
Yun Jiuji laughed embarrassedly, and secretly scolded the sissy for not being a normal person, in order to learn to dance, the female celebrity ignored the shame of the world, and insisted on doing her own thing. This is the case today, in front of everyone on such a big occasion, without hiding his grotesque behavior at all!
Said the year before the queen mother's birthday, he offered a pair of hand-embroidered auspicious clouds and crane tents to win the praise of the queen mother, last year's birthday and boldly offered the red bird dance to make the concubine smile, won the majesty of the reward. Perhaps so, his confidence soared, and he was not afraid of courtesy.
"Wu Gongzi, I already know about this matter, the little girl is half a year older than the son, it's really not a good match, don't mention this matter again." Yun Jiuji tried her best to smile, and she didn't hate him, at least he was strong and unyielding and dared to insist on his preferences, but his hypocritical behavior really made her disgusted, uncomfortable, and headache.
Wu Yi shook his head again and again, and picked up the orchid finger, "Miss's words are wrong, the female junior holds the gold brick, Miss is half a year old, please don't refuse the next mind, I will treat Miss and Brother Ling well in the future." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, Yun Jiu Ji's face turned red, and she couldn't help but sigh: Cangtian, why did she meet such a demon?
Bai Yuanxiu's face sank, he pulled Wu Xi's clothes, and said unhappily: "Wu Gongzi, please be careful, Ji'er has no intention of marrying you, please find another beauty." ”
Yun Jiuji nodded in agreement, Wu Yi picked up his orchid finger, opened Bai Yuanxiu's hand, turned his head to look at Yun Jiuji, and said with a sworn face: "Miss Yun, I feel that you and I are a match made in heaven, and I swear that I will hurt you and Brother Ling." ”
Yun Jiuji felt like she was going crazy! stood up and stayed away from him, "Wu Gongzi, please respect yourself, I have no intention of Wu Gongzi, if Gongzi says more, it is out of ill intentions and wants to deliberately embarrass the little woman!" ”
Wu Xuan pouted and stood up, raised his feet and walked to Yun Jiuji's side, Bai Yuanxiu stood up and blocked in front of Yun Jiuji, and stretched out his hand to stop him with a displeased expression.
Wu Xianlanhua poked Bai Yuanxiu's chest with her fingers, and looked angry, "I said cousin, I won't eat Miss Yun again, why are you stopping me?" I just want to explain to Miss Yun that I don't have ill intentions, I really love Miss Yun! ”
Bai Yuanxiu opened his orchid finger in disgust, and Yun Jiuji's mood could only be described in four words: I want to cry without tears!
Lu Suyan and Hulun Zheyu watched the play on the side, and looked out of the hall door from time to time, until a maid came in from outside the hall and whispered a few words in their ears, and they looked at each other and smiled and walked out of the hall.
In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, Yun Jiuji said: "If Wu Gongzi no longer talks nonsense, the little girl will be confused for a while, if she doesn't choose to say anything, the little girl can only be unkind to the son, she has always been engaged to pay attention to your love and my will, isn't it unreasonable for the son to be so entangled?" ”
Seeing that the beauty was angry, the princes were so angry that they hurriedly took the initiative to stand up and persuade Wu Yi to pull him away, and Wu Xi walked away sullenly.
At this time, a woman's soft voice said, "Miss Li has arrived, and the ceremony has begun!" ”
Yun Jiuji looked outside the hall and saw a man in his fifties pulling a good-looking young girl, Lu Suyan and Hulun Zheyu standing beside her, followed by several graceful and luxurious ladies, and a large number of servants holding boxes and slowly following behind.
Yun Jiuji guessed that the young girl was the protagonist of today's Ji Lu - Miss Li Shishi, she entered the hall and saluted everyone with a smile, and stayed on her cousin and her for a few more moments before walking to the arranged dresser.
In front of the dressing table, there is a huge exquisite copper realm, the dressing table is full of all kinds of jewelry, such as gold hairpins, step rocks, earrings, etc., there are no less than three precious ivory combs, and those servants are still taking out all kinds of eyebrows, rouge, and hair oil from the box......
Miss Li sat elegantly on the chair, and a plump lady waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said solemnly: "There is a prime minister's mansion whose daughter has just grown up, and the ceremony is auspicious. ”
A servant woman handed the lady a thin thread, and the lady carefully and gently twisted the thread across Miss Li's face, and then handed the comb, and the lady combed her long hair and retreated.
"Open your eyebrows, put on makeup!"
Then another lady stepped forward to put on her makeup......
Yun Jiuji sat on the side and stared at the leaky pot, secretly sighing that the entire ceremony of the Harmony Ceremony had taken a whole hour! Thinking that she would be married a month later, she couldn't help but secretly decide that her etiquette must be simple, don't be so cumbersome and tiring!
Finally waited for lunch, Yun Jiuji sat down with a group of noble ladies to eat. Hulun Zheyu, Lu Suyan had already finished lunch, and pulled Li Shishi out of the dining room with a smile on his face.
After the meal, Yun Jiuji had nothing to do when she was free, and when she saw the two young ladies playing chess, she took the initiative to go up and watch the game, and she also talked with them very happily. Bai Yuanxiu discussed poetry with several sons, and glanced at Yun Jiuji with concern from time to time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to participate in the little girl's ceremony, the little girl has just prepared a poetry game on the shore of Laihu Lake, please go together." Li Shishi walked into the hall, saluted everyone, and looked at everyone with a smile.
Poetry game is one of the games that the nobles of Nanchang love to play, but whenever the lottery order is drawn is like a general order to be strictly enforced, to find the poetry union according to the instructions of the signing order, and then come back to the poem, the winner is heavily rewarded, the loser is heavily punished, and the lottery order is not a participant, double the heavy punishment. Because of the excitement of the gameplay, everyone nodded their heads when they heard the prepared poetry games, and the group walked to the shore of Laihu Lake.
Yun Jiuji didn't want to participate because she was infected with the wind and cold, so she shirked a few words and wanted to stay in the hall to rest quietly, Miss Lu heard that she came to invite her in person, and several young ladies pushed and shoved her and pulled her away.
Li Shishi smiled and led the way in front, turning her head from time to time to peek at Bai Yuanxiu affectionately, seeing Bai Yuanxiu paying attention to her delicate little cousin wholeheartedly, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Arrived at the big corner eaves pavilion on the shore of Laihu Lake, Yun Jiuji felt that this place was warm like spring, it turned out that the pavilion was already full of stoves, the high-quality silver charcoal in the stove was burning vigorously, and the front of the eyes was calm and waveless lakeside, there was a small island mountain in the middle of the lakeside, although the island mountain was not big, the mountain was covered with verdant green pines, and the spirit was extraordinarily seen from afar.
Hulun Zheyu and Lu Suyan enthusiastically held Li Shishi's hand, and a few of them were telling some jokes, all covering their mouths and laughing.
Everyone found a place to sit down, Li Shishi said with a smile: "Next, we have to start the lottery, and those who have drawn lots will know the corresponding place of your poetry union, now please Miss Lu, the lord of Hulun, and Miss Yao to help me distribute the signing order, and the signing order is like a general's order, and those who fail to complete it will be severely punished!" ”
Distributed all the way, Yun Jiuji took a sign from Li Shishi's hand, opened it and saw that there was a line of small words written on the sign: Island Mountain in the Lake, Explore a treasure in the cave of the island - Poetry Union.
Yun Jiuji frowned, the island mountain in the lake? Isn't that to take a boat to the island mountain and enter the cave to get the poetry couplet? This game is also too troublesome, but fortunately, the island mountain is not far away, and the difficulty of this signing task is not high.
Other people also received the sign, some went to the garden to get a flower pot, and there was a couplet in the pot, and some received the order to go to the tree to get a jar with a couplet in it......
All the nobles were having fun and started to act, Bai Yuanxiu patted her on the shoulder, and also went to complete his signing order. Yun Jiu Ji saw a small boat parked by the lake, and took the boat and rocked the oars to the island and mountain.
Ascending the island mountain, Yun Jiuji took the torch prepared by the Prime Minister's Mansion, walked to the cave of the island mountain, carefully looked for the poetry couplet, how did she know that she was looking for a sweat, top-heavy and weak, she thought it was caused by her own cold, the jade hand held the mountain wall and panted for breath, and she had no choice but to sit on the ground and rest for a while, where did she know that the more she rested, the more weak she was, and it was a problem to stand up again.
Outside the cave on the island, the little grandfather went into the cave and groped the mountain wall to go deeper, Yun Jiuji was in pain and tired at this time, and she only felt that her body was hot and cold.
When the little grandfather saw the fire in the cave, his face was excited, and he quickened his pace and walked inside, Yun Jiuji heard the sound and asked weakly, "Who is it?" Come in and help me. ”
Hearing Yun Jiuji's words, the little grandfather was even more excited, walked quickly to Yun Jiuji, rubbed his hands and smiled lewdly: "Here, this grandfather will come to help the little beauty, the little beauty is not in a hurry."
Yun Jiuji raised her head and was taken aback when she saw that it was the little grandfather, and reflexively picked up the torch next to her with a defensive expression, "Why is the little grandfather you?" ”
The little grandfather grinned and said, "Why doesn't Miss Yun welcome this grandfather?" Miss Yun, what's wrong with this? Come on, the little grandfather will help you take a look! With that, he stretched out his fat hand with an evil face, wanting to cover Yun Jiuji's forehead.
Yun Jiuji's head tilted, dodging his fat hand, with a look of disgust and panic, wondering how the little grandfather could come here? She didn't notice him following when she first came, if she knew that he was following, she would definitely not climb this island mountain, and now she is weak, on this island mountain in the lake is called the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual!
"Little grandfather, please respect yourself, men and women can't stand it clearly, can you help me call someone?" Yun Jiuji thought about it, and there was no other way but to try to keep herself calm and delay the time before thinking of a way.
The little grandfather has been in love for more than ten years, where would he not know what Yun Jiuji was thinking, stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, "Beauty, let the little grandfather take a good look, the sweat on the beauty's face is really distressing, and when the little grandfather is comfortable, I will send the young lady back, and cooperate well, and then the little grandfather will marry the beauty." ”
