Chapter 58: Looking Back (1)
The girls in the courtyards got up early that day, and they were very excited, and they only put on makeup carefully, and they wore much brighter than before.
At this time, I went to Ci'an Hall to save Mrs. Shen, and then turned to the main house to listen to Sun's words before going out, and then everything was ready, and several girls were finally taken into the carriage by Zhang Luo.
The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and only the low neighing of the horse in front of me was heard, and when the curtain was lifted again, the scene on the side had gradually moved back.
When the carriage stopped, the girls from each courtyard lifted the curtain to welcome the girls down.
The hookah couldn't stand the bumps, so she sat alone in a car at this time, and fell behind a little slowly, and felt that the carriage gradually stopped, and the curtain was lifted in a corner.
Yu Yu helped her, and then she heard Mother Sun greet her with an anxious face, and saw that the girls were waiting under the door for a long time, which was a slight urging: "The third girl hurried in, and the master is waiting for you at the second door." β
Shen Shuisha raised his forehead slightly, leveled his eyebrows and eyes, and when he stepped on the steps, he couldn't help but climb the gold-painted characters on the door: Yongping Earl's Palace.
After a lifetime, she did come back again, not as the bride of the third room of the Zhao family, but as the innocent third girl of the Shen family.
Her heart trembled slightly, and her mind turned over the events of the previous life, and everything was as vivid as last night.
After resting for a while, listening to the jade whispering to her in her ear, Shen Shuisha eased her mind slightly, a little sneered, and with a little calm, she crossed the threshold and entered.
Today is a shared table for men and women, the Earl's Court is not as good as the Wen Mansion of that day, the girl who waits at the door is very regular, and the guests invited are mostly noble, and the rules of the banquet are rigorous, and because of the alienation between men and women, it is not as open as last time.
The hookah's eyes floated, and he looked around, and smiled coldly in his heart, thinking that coming to the Earl of Yongping Mansion is always a heavy faΓ§ade, but in fact, it is a leather face, and an embroidered pillow with a bag of chaff.
By Sun's mother, a few people walked through the corridor, and then they saw the shadows of the Sun family, and a few sisters on the wall looked at them boringly, and they were in a hurry.
Seeing people coming at this time, Sun's face was not visible, and he turned around and prepared to go in, the girls on both sides of the door knew the looks, and immediately smiled on their faces, and lowered their eyebrows and foreheads to open the curtains for a few people.
Seeing this, the hookah pressed his brows, and his forehead pressed his steps to follow.
When Fang entered, he listened to the laughter inside.
There are all kinds of things inside, there are ice pickers on both sides, and there is a gilded beast lacquered large copper incense burner in the middle, and the carved beasts on the four sides are lifelike, spitting wisps of cigarettes. The left side of the gauze curtain to both sides, in the middle of the masonry of the big kang, there is a glazed painted folding kang screen as decoration, the back of the carved mahogany kang cabinet, the lower head of the cool curtain as a shop, porcelain pillows are not lacking.
A true noble family.
After a few girls saluted respectfully, a girl outside lifted the curtain with a smile, carried the Arhat bench in, and added it to the wall of the girl's seat, allowing a few girls to sit down.
After some procedures, there were a few familiar ladies who greeted Sun Yan Yan with a smile, and Sun had a dignified and generous smile on his face, and asked the flowers and willows for a while.
Mrs. Li glanced at her a few times, pursed her lips slightly, and before she could speak, she heard someone speak, her voice was shrill and thin, mixed with a trace of disdain: "Hey, Shen Shen's participation in politics is developed at this time, and the eldest lady of his family is supported by everyone, and the shelf is very big, so she can't let go of others in her eyes at this time." β
As soon as these words came out, the lady fluttered at the place where Mrs. Li was sitting, and Mrs. Li raised her willow eyebrows, she did look down on the Shen family, but she turned a deaf ear and did not say anything.
Sun only felt that his heart fell, and the smile on his face froze, and he felt somewhat embarrassed at this time, and raised his eyes to look up, that lady was the concubine of King Gong.
Seeing that Sun had just arrived at this time, he was beaten on the head by Princess Gong for no reason, and the ladies of all the families sighed, and there were a lot of jokes, Princess Gong was happy in her heart, and she snorted from her nose.
I wanted to open my mouth to pull her face, but unexpectedly, Sun opened his lips at this time, and reluctantly smiled: "The princess said that I laughed, blame me for not knowing your body, I just chatted with a few ladies hotly, I don't want to snub you." β
Mrs. Li took a sip of tea with her eyes rolling, but her face was not shocked, and she continued to listen to the play.
"Hmph, it's not that big, you don't have to pay attention to it." Princess Gong shook the fan in front of her, her tone was still not good, and she didn't look at her with her eyes in the whole process.
Sun's face was blue and white for a while, but he didn't expect Princess Gong to look at her face in front of so many people, and he couldn't even hold back his laughter at this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was cold, Mrs. Li knew that these two gentlemen were opponents in the officialdom, and they met at this time to see their jokes.
Then he reluctantly put down the tea cup in his hand, smoothed the cuffs decently, and came out to play the round with a smile: "Hey, it's very hot this day, and everyone is holding back a little bit of dryness at this time, I have a new tea here, you might as well taste it, and you will be defeated." β
Princess Gong saw that Mrs. Li opened her mouth, her face softened, she held the teacup and showed a smile that did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and opened her eyelids and looked at her children and grandchildren: "In the end, Mrs. Li is decent, only next time, some people have to take a picture of themselves with a basin of water, see it clearly, just don't be too confident, dare to come to any banquet, if others look at it, maybe they will laugh, when they are here to fight the autumn breeze." β
There was contempt in these words, Sun's face was flushed, but he still endured it, brushed the hair on his ears and temples, and pretended to be stupid: "There is such a shameless person? Who is it? The princess might as well say it to make me laugh a few words, but I don't know, aren't all the seats in the Earl's Mansion written by Mrs. Li one by one? It's the first time I've seen such a person. β
Princess Gong's face turned cold, glanced at Sun, and turned her head to ignore her.
Mrs. Li still pretended to be nothing, she still had a smile on her face, and ordered the girl to serve tea for Sun, her eyes unconsciously drifted to the girl's seat, and her eyes flashed, as if she was looking for someone.
Shen Shuixia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Feng Wanniang, who couldn't help but climb up the wall, saw her Yan Ran sitting eating tea, she seemed to be aware at this time, raised her eyes to stare at the hookah, and smiled faintly.
The hookah raised her head slightly, and just wanted to go to the tea cup on the table, but she felt that her hand was hot, and she turned her eyes to look at it, and saw Rong Pingmei holding her hand, with a smile on her face, and smiled smartly: "I just heard you coming, I can find you now." β
As she was talking, she saw a girl hurrying behind her panting, crimson crawling up her cheeks, maybe she didn't keep up with her master at that time.
The hookah sneered, covered half of his smile with a fan, and gently scolded her: "I didn't think about it, the model of beauty in the eyes of others also has an unknown side." β
"Look at your mouth, you have no conscience." Rong Pingmei helped her hair bun, saw that it was not messy, stretched out her finger and lightly tapped it on the hookah's forehead, which was a little annoyed at this time.
When the hookah saw her like this, he immediately calmed down and begged for mercy slightly, but stopped messing with her.
Rong Pingmei stopped, glanced around, and whispered in her ear: "This is not interesting, you come with me." β
didn't wait for the hookah to pass her brain, he pulled her out of the side door, stepped on the bluestone corridor, and stopped at a hand-copying verandah.
The face is a little mysterious, and there is no one who has probed left and right, which is to wave his hand and send the girl next to him. Seeing this, Shen Shuisha bowed his head towards the jade in the back, and the jade knew and retreated to the outside of the corridor.
Only then did Rong Pingmei speak softly: "Have you heard about the Lu family?" β
After that, seeing that Shen Shuisha was at a loss, she was even more interested: "It's the Xuanping Hou Lu family, these days, King Gong's family is close to the Lu family, and the county lord of his family is even more happy with Mrs. Jiang of the Xuanping Hou family, last time I was invited to the Wei family for tea, and I heard the girl of the Wei family mention it, saying that the two families are intent on getting married, but I don't know if this matter is tenable." β
The hookah's eyes flashed, she had heard of this in her previous life. Above the court, most of them are calculated, and her Shen family has the ability to have a relationship with the Earl's Palace, and King Gong is not stupid, so he will keep his hand and pave the way for himself.
I just didn't expect this life to come so quickly.
I don't know if Shen Shuisha is listening, but seeing that her face is not obvious, Rong Pingmei is a little lacking in interest.
The hookah also realized it, and when he saw her muttering, he lifted his spirits, pretended to be surprised, and only motioned for her to continue.
With the listener, Rong Pingmei regained her spirits, leaned towards the hookah, and said that the affection was so strong that she insisted on hitting the fan in front of her, and continued: "Send this matter, Mrs. Jiang nods uselessly, who knows that Xuanping Hou is an unruly master?" Leaving the imperial examination road and not leaving, he was young and frivolous and ran to join the army, and it was easy to get out, and the rich man Langjun had already been crowned a shadow official, and he had to go through the storm of the court again. β
Rong Pingmei said it with relish, and piled up a basket of words, before he made a conclusion, and seemed to be determined: "In my opinion, these two families can't be made, just like the county lord, since childhood, if they marry the Lu family, the two have to work against each other, no matter how they look at each other, they don't look at each other, and they are tired of each other, I'm afraid that they will make trouble to the field that can't end." β
After that, she glanced at the hookah, as if she wanted to listen to her opinion, but the hookah listened to it in her heart, scratched her forehead, and pretended to be stupid with a smile, only saying that she couldn't talk about such things.
Rong Pingmei was not annoyed, shook the fan, and her face was slightly red: "I look at Lu Huaiji's temperament, he eats soft and not hard, and he must be treated by a girl with a gentle temperament." β
Shen Shuisha was ape-minded, but he didn't hear these words, and only shook his head perfunctorily.
After only a few words, the sun rose, and the porch was a little uncovered. The constant mosquitoes are also inevitably annoying, Rong Pingmei got up and wanted to pick up the hookah and walk back, but at this time, a little girl caught up and shouted to stop the two.
The girl was overjoyed, and only pointed to the name of the hookah, and invited her to the other courtyard for tea.
Shisha really hadn't seen this person, so he wondered in his heart, glanced at Rong Pingmei, looked at him with both eyes, and saw Miss Rong nodding quietly.
only gave way slightly in one place, and saw that the hookah was asked to leave.
