Chapter 18: Poetry Society

Shen Yao felt that the gap between herself and Shen Xian was too big, she was a concubine who came back from the countryside, and she was a noble daughter who had been pampered since she was a child, so she should have lived better than her.

She is willing to share her share.

Aunt Wei was unwilling, and said: "How could I have such a daughter as you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Guogong Mansion for so many years, wasted time, and now I only have you as a bargaining chip, if you don't give me a fight, how will my mother live in the future!" ”

Shen Yao stirred her hands together and bit her lower lip: "It's my daughter who is not filial..."

Aunt Wei sighed, hated iron and steel, and said: "I heard that next month, the Red Mansion on Qingping Street will hold a poetry meeting, and many dignitaries and relatives of the emperor will go, and they will enlarge their eyes for me, and see who is the golden beetle son-in-law, you have to marry well and give your mother a long face." ”

"But... I wasn't invited to the poetry club. ”

Aunt Wei girlily poked her head with her fingers painted with Yin Hongkoudan: "You won't go to Shen Xian!" No one will leak this Red Mansion if she leaks, stupid! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked people to collect the gifts from the garden into his room, and he no longer looked at Shen Yao's embarrassed expression.

On the other side, Shen Xian looked at the invitation to the Red Mansion handed over by Xiangnong and hesitated.

I thought she would go every year, even if she couldn't come out on top in poetry, but the way she dressed that day would definitely lead the trend at that time, but this year's goal was not to have a poetry meeting, if King Xuan was not there, who would she show it to in a high-profile manner.

Xiangnon saw her refusal: "Isn't Miss going?" The slave helped you refuse. ”

Shen Xian was about to nod when she suddenly saw Shen Yao's figure swaying outside Qingshui Residence, but she hesitated and didn't dare to come in.

She was a little surprised.

Shen Yao has been back for so many days, unless she takes the initiative to find her, she has been staying in her yard very well, what happened today that made her come to her for the first time?

"Xiangnong, call the third sister in."

Xiangnong nodded, turned her head and glanced at the maid behind her, who immediately went out to invite Shen Yao in.

Shen Yao was still a little hesitant when she came in, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the invitation in Xiangnong's hand, and her face was suddenly a little twisted, and she didn't dare to look at Shen Xian with her eyebrows lowered.

"Second sister."

Shen Xian got up curiously: "The third sister is looking for me?" ”

"I..." Shen Yao recalled what Aunt Wei said, but when she said that embarrassing words, she gritted her teeth and forced her eyes to redden, and then stumbled and said: "I, I want to go to the poetry meeting with my second sister, I will be obedient, I won't make trouble for my second sister, I just, I just want to go and see, and I'll come back after reading it." ”

Shen Xian was stunned.

Looking at her expression, it didn't look like she wanted to go, but she was wronged.

After reacting, he sighed, raised his hand and patted her head and asked, "Aunt Wei asked you to come?" ”

Shen Yao didn't dare to speak.

Shen Xian also guessed in her heart.

"If you want to go, my sister will take you there, but I've said it many times, don't look down on yourself at every turn, if you're really talented, don't give me a long face."

Shen Yao bowed to Shen Xian, and said with a smile: "Thank you second sister, A-Yao will not embarrass the second sister." ”

Shen Xian raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Okay, don't cry, my eyes are swollen when I cry, but it's ugly, I don't want to take an ugly sister out." ”

Shen Yao lowered her head and smiled, and hurriedly wiped her tears.

After she left, Xiangnong was not very happy and said, "Miss knows that this is my aunt's idea, why do you want to help Miss San?" ”

"It's pitiful, if A-Yao has no one to treat her better, it will be really pitiful."

Xiangnong looked at her young lady and felt that she was glowing.

"I hope the third miss can really remember the good of the young lady."

Shen Xian shrugged her shoulders indifferently, she didn't want Ah Yao to give anything in return, after all, what she wanted was just something she could get at her fingertips, and since she didn't lack it, it was understandable to give it to others.

The so-called Poetry Club of the Red Chamber is just a place for those scholars who are elegant and elegant to show off their talents, and the Red Chamber will set a theme, and the people who come to the poetry meeting will write the poems they come up with on specific rice paper, and then hand them over to the people of the Red Mansion for evaluation, and whoever wins will be able to take away a single book of the Red Mansion.

For those who read, they want a unique book, but for others, the poetry will be a means to make a name for themselves in Kyoto.

On the day of the poetry meeting, Shen Xian wore a light orange brocade dress, and the embroidery pattern on it was the first in Kyoto, and she was very satisfied with her dress.

When I went out, I saw that Shen Yao was wearing light plain clothes, and she didn't even have a decent hairpin on her head, frowning slightly, and hurriedly asked Xiangnong to bring her jewelry box, and picked out a magnolia hairpin from it for her to wear.

He also said: "How do you dress up like this in a place where women gather to attract people's attention?" ”

Shen Yao was stunned, and her heart was pierced and her cheeks were red.

Along the way, Shen Yao pinched her hands uneasily, and occasionally took a deep breath, and Shen Xian, who was sitting on the side, became nervous.

It's as if I'm going to take the imperial examination.

The carriage stopped under a high-rise building, and the two were helped off the carriage one after another, and as soon as they stood up, a small servant stepped forward to salute and lead the way for Shen Xian, Shen Xian had long been accustomed to the hospitality of others, and she was just about to lift her feet to walk when she heard a strange yin and yang.

"Yo, isn't this Shen Xian? When you see the three princesses, don't you come to say hello? ”

Shen Xian paused, turned her head with a cold face.

Sure enough, I saw Zhao Baolin looking like a villain, and Xiao Hui, who was dressed exquisitely on the side, also looked at him with a smug gaze.

She suddenly wanted to laugh, if she let Xiao Hui know that her husband ran to tell other women about his love on the wedding night, she didn't know what kind of expression it was.

It's a pity that Shen Xian doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.

So he took a deep breath and saluted decently: "I've seen the three princesses." After speaking, she was about to leave, but Xiao Hui suddenly said loudly: "Did I let you go?" ”

Shen Xian pursed her lips, and her heart was on fire.

A thief who robs people and things, because he has an extra name, he begins to show off his might.

"Then what else does the princess have to order?"

Xiao Hui walked step by step, as if she had trampled Shen Xian under her feet, and said happily: "Remember, you can't go if I don't let you go in the future, Shen Xian, you can't be proud in front of me anymore." ”

Shen Xian held back her eyes and smiled at her that she didn't speak.

How could Xiao Hui be so tough in the past, but now she is proud to marry a third prince, if she enters the palace to be the emperor's concubine, she can't fly to the sky?

Seeing that Shen Xian didn't speak, Xiao Hui thought that she had made her deflated, so she raised her chin and took Zhao Baolin in with a high spirit, Shen Xian snorted, and finally rolled out a big white eye.

"Second sister, they're here too, will they..." she still remembered how she was bullied by those two, and she was a little afraid.

"Put your heart back in your stomach, our Shen family is not the one who suffers, if she wants to provoke me, then she will consider herself unlucky." Xiao Hui has indeed become the third princess, but she Shen Xian is still Shen Xian, and what she delusions will never happen.

What's more, when she became Aunt Xiao Huihuang, she cried.
