Chapter Twenty-Three: Surprise the Crowd
Even if he is so good, he is still kind, what woman doesn't like such an excellent man? So Mo Ziqing walked all the way, and the exclamations on the women's seat never stopped.
Li Zixi saw that the king of Li, Mozi, and the Qing Dynasty looked at it, and the woman immediately lowered her head shyly.
Her father told her that this was her future husband, and that he would make her his concubine, and since her father said these words to her that day, she put Mo Ziqing, the king of Li, in her heart, and decided that this man was her future destination.
After she saw King Li himself, she fell in love with the man at first sight, and the man's handsome appearance and good talent were among the best in any single out.
Therefore, the position of Princess Li can only be hers, and King Mo Ziqing can only be her husband. Thinking of this, the woman firmly held the silk handkerchief in her hand.
After several princes took their seats in the men's seat, some ministers and sons next to them came forward to say hello. This year's poetry conference was attended by four princes, and the atmosphere of the whole conference was much more lively than before
Of course, Princess Chunyang, who organized this competition, also attended, but her position was in a seat in the middle, and it was not easy for others to talk to her.
......
In the women's seat, the young ladies with good relationships were sitting together and whispering, and several people were drinking tea and chatting, so comfortable.
Ning Chuxia shook the fan in his hand, "What preparations do you have for today's competition?" ”
"I don't." A woman beside her smiled: "There are so many people, it's useless for me to prepare, in case I draw a lot and draw a lot that I'm not good at, it's a waste of time to prepare, why don't you put so much pressure on yourself?" After all, I can't compete for the first place. ”
Ye Zhitao smiled when he heard this, "You have to work hard, the four princes are all present today, don't lose your Gu family's face in front of a few princes." ”
Ning Chuxia covered her mouth: "Poof, I said peach, have you forgotten the eldest lady of the Su family who has not participated in the poetry conference for more than ten years, Su Siqiao?" No matter how embarrassed she is, can she be disgraced? ”
Gu Xuefei also "giggled" when she heard Ning Chuxia's words.
"That is to say, can I be more ashamed than the daughter of General Su?"
Ye Zhitao smiled when she heard this: "That's right, even if we are bad, we still have her Su Siqiao at the bottom, I have seen her before, she is a vulgar person who can box, she doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”
"Every year, she is afraid of being embarrassed and not coming to participate, and now that she is old, she has to come if she doesn't come. Isn't she here to be responsible for amusement, pity that General Su and give birth to such a vulgar daughter. ”
Ning Chuxia pouted, "What kind of general's daughter, but the face of a good young lady has made her lose everything!" When she came to my house to play in the past, you didn't know how strange she was, red and green, even the bustard in the Yi Red Mansion didn't wear such a bright color. ”
"Poof" Gu Xuefei couldn't help laughing: "Then she won't dress up like that today, right?" If she wore such gaudy clothes to participate in this poetry conference, General Su would not dare to go out in the future. ”
"Hahaha"
.......
The women chatted happily, but the ridicule and contempt in their words were countless.
Just when a few people were laughing and about to continue the topic, they heard the slave maid outside the door shouting: "Mrs. Su and the ladies of General Su's Mansion have arrived." ”
The ladies and ladies present and the people in the men's seats on the other side all looked over there, and of course the four princes and Princess Chunyang were among them.
Because of General Su, although Su Siqiao is a straw bag, her father is a general, anyway, Su Zhiyuan, the general of Zhenguo, has a high prestige in the court, and has dealt with many border rebellions for the emperor, and he also has the military power in hand and has the reputation of a victorious general, and Zheng'er Bajing is the emperor's right-hand man.
Therefore, everyone still respects the Su family very much, and it is precisely because of General Su's prestige that Su Siqiao has been able to live in peace in the circle of nobles in the capital for so long, if it weren't for Su Zhiyuan's face, Su Siqiao's straw bag would have been drowned in the spittle of the nobles a long time ago.
The maids walked in with a group of people, of course, it was Liu Shuyun and her two daughters who walked in the front.
Liu Shuyun was dressed in a pale green silk shirt, although she was thirty-six years old, the woman was very well maintained and her complexion was delicate.
The dark eyes are bottomless, and it seems that this person's city is unfathomable. She was already plump, combed a noble bun, and looked more and more rich and dignified, and the momentum of the head of the house was undoubtedly revealed.
And beside her, it was her two daughters, Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er.
Su Yanwen wore a pale yellow gold thread yarn long skirt, embroidered with pink patterns on the wide hem, and a long cigarette Luo purple silk on her arms, Qianqian's thin waist, tied with a purple jade brocade belt, and her face was like congealed cream, and her complexion was radiant.
The woman bends her waist in a slight step, and the tassel of the jasper beads inserted obliquely between the buns on her head sways gently, and her smile is moving, so a gentle and beautiful beauty.
Su Wan'er was wearing a light blue pleated ruyi gauze skirt, with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, silver silk outlining a few auspicious clouds, and a row of blue sea clouds densely packed at the hem.
When the woman walks, the skirt spreads gently, her gestures are graceful like the wind blowing willows, and she wears a jade inlaid with gold and jade between her wrists, the color is translucent, and you can see that it is not ordinary.
I saw that the girl's slender hands were as bright as jade, and the woman reflecting the blue waves was as transparent, straight as rain and blue lotus, indescribably ethereal and light, and the laughter came, which made people feel that the woman was innocent and cute.
Everyone in the men's seat saw this scene, and they were also amazed by the faces of the two young ladies, although everyone knew that Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er were the collateral of the Su family, but this did not prevent everyone from stunning the appearance of the two, and these two young ladies were also famous in the capital, both of them were the best among the talented women, not to mention that they were so good-looking.
The prince turned his head to look at King Mozi and said with a smile: "I said third brother, among the brothers, you have not yet married a wife, I think the two young ladies in the second room of the Su family are outstanding women, don't you have the idea of marrying?" The second room of the Su family is also very powerful, and he can teach his two daughters so well. ”
Mo Ziqing listened to the prince's ridicule and refused: "Brother Wang is really good at making fun of me, I don't have the idea of marrying now, Brother Wang still don't make fun of me." ”
"Hahaha, it seems that the main hall is worrying about it."
......
Ning Chuxia in the women's seat immediately got up and waved when she saw Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er, "Yanwen, Wan'er, I'm here." ”
Ye Zhitao was speechless, "Didn't they come over right away?" What are you anxious about? Anyway, why haven't you seen Su Siqiao's straw bag yet? I don't know what kind of dress she is like today? ”
"Haven't I seen her in a long time? There are a lot of confidant words waiting for the two of them. ”
"Come on, come on, I saw that there was a person not far behind them, and that person must be Su Siqiao."
After Ning Chuxia finished speaking, several young ladies around her also followed what she said. I saw that behind Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er, there was also a person.
She was not with the two girls in the second room of the Su family, she was lonely, she should have looked a little unhappy and should have looked at the lonely woman, but for some reason, she didn't look humble at all, but had a kind of momentum of not being in the same stream with others.
The girl walked forward unhurriedly, like a fire in the snow, and like a plum in the frost and snow, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Dressed in a bright red and golden moire-edged flower-sprinkled robe dress, her hair is combed into a flying fairy bun, and a string of bright red gemstone tassels are embellished between her forehead and bun, which sparkle in the sun. A golden belt is tied around his waist. Pinching gold and digging cloud red incense boots, this body is already very rich, but wearing it on this girl, it is like the wealth that she should have.
The girl got closer and closer, and when everyone saw it, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
She herself was born white, and she was like a fine mutton fat jade with a little powder, the redder her lips were, like the reddest red glow in the morning on the horizon, her eyes were pitch black, and the brilliance was as charming as a spring day.
When I looked at it carefully, I felt that the corners of my eyes seemed to contain some cold irony. Everyone only felt as if they had seen a smart spirit emerge from the flowers, and they came all the way to the willows.
Look at the girl's skirt in the middle of the action without moving at all, her hands are folded upright on her chest, her hair is not moving, but there is a quiet and noble elegance under the bright and radiant appearance, such a unique charm rarely appears in young girls, only makes people feel that there is only one in the world.
This noble temperament and the majesty that came out of her heart shrouded her. It made her seem that she was not a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but a nobleman who had been in the top position for a long time. Liu Shuyun, Su Yanwen and Su Wan'er in front unknowingly became the foil of this girl.
......
"Who's that?" The prince couldn't help muttering, even though he had seen a lot of beauties and a lot of beauties, but when he saw this girl, he couldn't help but lose his mind, how could that woman have such a bearing at such an age, and also have such a beautiful face?
"It's ...... Are you a guest on the Su family's house? The second prince asked the person behind him: "I don't seem to have seen this person." ”
The men's table was even more silent at this time, because the woman's appearance and bearing were too outstanding, which caused those powerful ministers who had seen a lot of wind and waves to sigh.
Men don't look at women the same way as women. Everyone here is in the officialdom, so they can naturally see at a glance that the girl is different, not because of her appearance, but because of her bearing.
Who is this woman? This is the only question that everyone is curious about now. The woman has such a bearing, this is General Su himself is here, I am afraid that the aura of the whole body is not much better in front of this woman!
