Chapter 002: Bright Flowers
The sound of the water is murmuring, and the feast continues.
Xie Zhan's eyebrows were cold, and he drank alone, except for a few occasional questions from his friends, he pondered without saying a word.
Prince Jin of the Wang family has always liked to play tricks on people, and when he saw that Xie Zhan had a different look after greeting Fu Xuan, he deliberately approached him and said: "Changheng, your fiancée is so beautiful, she deserves to be the first beauty of this Jiankang new evaluation, tsk, you are really beautiful!" ”
Changheng is Xie Zhan's character, and several close friends call him so.
Hearing the teasing in Wang Zijian's mouth, Xie Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and asked sharply, "Is it?" Better than your cousin? ”
As soon as his cousin was mentioned, Wang Zijin lost the momentum of being a joker, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Oh, I can't compare, I can't compare, if my words of praise fall into her ears, she won't want to pay attention to me when she turns around." ”
Xie Zhan sneered coldly, "A woman, as for it." ”
The prince looked at him with joy in his eyes and replied in a loud voice: "'My fair lady, good gentleman. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. I thought about it day and night, and it was all her. ”
Xie Zhan glanced at him, showed a "shameful" expression, thought of the word "lady", chuckled, and then took the wine and filled the glass.
On the other side of Xie Zhan sat Zhou Yue, the sixth lang of the Zhou family, he was very graceful, very eye-catching, and vaguely guessed that Xie Zhan was bored, because of the marriage of Fu Xuan, who was far away from his family background.
The people who helped the ancestors of the family were all petty officials, and they were outright poor and had no foundation. Even now, it has become an exception, but in front of a family like Wang and Xie, who have official positions and have been standing for a hundred years, they are just small households.
And Fu Xuan is not the head of the family who helps to ask his daughter-in-law, but only his niece, and in terms of identity, she is just the daughter of Sanpin Shangshu. Although the position of the third grade is not low, it is really not worth mentioning in front of the prestigious families who do not lack one and two grades.
To put it bluntly, the achievements that the family has achieved with great difficulty now have been available decades or even centuries ago.
Moreover, this Xie Zhan has always been high, self-assured, and not a good woman, this Fu Xuan is beautiful, and she is glamorous, but it is not in his hobby. When they first met, they generously invited the man to travel, and I heard that she often messed with her cousins and went to places where the nobles would never set foot.
The family background is so different, the personality is so coarse, looking horizontally and vertically, Fu Xuan is all with the famous and virtuous ladies who thank the family, and the "lady", without touching the edge.
Zhou Yue's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said meaningfully: "A famous lady who can match our Changheng, this Jiankang, I'm afraid there are not many girls." ”
This means something.
It is recognized by all families that she can match Xie Zhan's lintel, except for Wang Zhiyi, the elegant and gentle and beautiful girl of the Wang family.
Wang Zijin quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Zhan, and shook his head secretly. He has always regarded Xie Zhan as his future brother-in-law, and unexpectedly killed a Fu Xuan. After learning that Xie Zhan had a marriage contract, his seventh sister was depressed, and even the Xie family's spring banquet was prevaricated to the future.
Xie Zhan raised his head again and drank the wine in his glass. I have to admit that the wife who gave the marriage has too low status, and she is not the candidate for the head mother of the Xie family in Neng'an Town.
**
Fu Xuan finally sat down in front of Xie Zhan. The two were not far from each other, but because of their face, Fu Xuan was not good at looking at him frequently.
Xie Zhan, knowing that the identity of the person opposite was inconsistent with him, even if he restrained himself again and again, his body was extremely rebellious, and every drop of blood and every inch of bone in it seemed to be shouting and instigating, and he quickly lowered his gaze.
The distant and cold afterglow, after all, took advantage of the toast to leave her, a little inquisitive, a little curious.
It's a drinker.
Time passed inch by inch, and there were more people who drank and wrote poems, and talked loudly, and Fu Xuan, who had no one to talk to, sighed silently.
Although the scenery here is elegant and beautiful, she doesn't like this banquet now.
Since entering this Jiankang City, in order to make friends with the girls of various families, she has also sincerely participated in countless banquets, but she has really treated her well, except for Zhang Yao, the girl of the Zhang family, there is no one else.
The girl next to her either stabbed her openly and secretly, or had a smile on her face, but in fact waited to see her make jokes. The questions she answered with sincerity turned into a topic of ridicule for her vulgarity.
Gradually, she realized that to the nobles of the family, she seemed to be a "monster" who suddenly broke into their "world", and they were wary, disdainful, and even faintly jealous of her.
She quietly drank a few glasses of wine, thinking to herself that they didn't like her, probably because of the "Zhilan" in their mouths, Xie Zhan's "Zhilan", because of her, fell into the dust.
Fu Xuan smiled indifferently, she would never be difficult for others, let alone aggrieved, some people didn't want to see her, and she was even more willing not to go in front of others.
But some people didn't go against her wishes and wanted to take the initiative to provoke her.
A lady with a noble temperament and a girl came.
"Why is the Fu girl here alone and not having fun with us?" The girl smiled, pretended to be surprised, glanced at the people opposite, and added: "Oh, it must be to see that Lang Jun is here in the future, and I want to get closer to him." ”
Fu Xuan remembered this girl, the daughter of the third room of the Wang family, and the cousin of Wang Zhiyi.
Last time at the Zhang family's banquet, it was she who said "Zhilan falling into the dust", and she also described to others in a colorful way, her cousins Wang Zhiyi and Xie Zhanpin painted poems.
Today, I'm afraid that I am not upset for Wang Zhiyi, who missed the good fate.
Fu Xuan pressed her temperament, got up and smiled, and calmly replied: "Guests are as they please, I was led here by someone." But Miss Wang is right, my fiancé is here, so I am naturally willing to sit closer. ”
Wang Ai choked, and his smile froze. Fu Xuan's meaning is obvious, today's banquet was organized by Mrs. Xie, and she can sit here, because the main family arranged it like this.
The girl of the Wang family did not dare to beak Xie the housewife, but she was the proud girl of the nobles of the family, so she was reserved, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh, how can a girl be so eager and proactive?" In this way, it is like a jealous woman of a small family. ”
Jealous woman? If you hadn't come to provoke you, why would you have brought out this peacock yourself?
Fu Xuan glanced at Xie Zhan and replied: "Yanhua Xiangrui is the easiest to attract bees and butterflies, and I am guarding here to see which bed bugs will come from far and wide." ”
As soon as Fu Xuan's words fell, opposite Qu Shui, Wang Zijin raised his sleeves to cover his face, and his shoulders trembled with a smile, "Xie Changheng, we have been friends for many years, I don't know if you are a gorgeous flower, and you are still fragrant ......"
"Shut up." Xie Zhan interrupted in a low voice, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and there was a hint of strangeness in his heart. He is very articulate.
"You ......"
Wang Ai was completely choked, not to return the salute, not to answer the phone.
Fu Xuan was not afraid of her words, and also mocked her as a bedbug from afar, she was so angry that her neck was red, and she was afraid of the presence of everyone, and she didn't dare to vent at will to damage her own image, and she suffered a dumb loss.
At this time, the lady with a good temperament slowly opened her mouth: "The girl who helps the family really lives up to her reputation, she is beautiful in Kyoto, and her beauty is unparalleled." and my sixth brother, at least in appearance, is compatible. ”
She has something to say, what else does Fu Xuan not know?
Behind this lady, several noble ladies came one after another, all of them covering their mouths and smiling ambiguously, which was nothing more than saying that in addition to her appearance worthy of Xie Zhan, she was Gao Pan everywhere.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the other side again, Xie Zhan had already held the fan and gave it away. The young girl who can make Xie Zhan give gifts, the entire Jiankang, there are only well-known talented girls, Xie Xinyao's daughter, and Xie Xinyao.
Fu Xuan has always been held in the palm of her hand by the Fu family, how could she have thought that she would be wronged by her future husband's family? A fire immediately ignited in her heart, but thinking of her uncle's painstaking efforts, she was severely suppressed by her before this fire in her heart was about to burn her mind.
She secretly gritted her back molars, still with a polite smile on her face, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Wang for your praise, I also think that my fiancé Jun is good-looking." ”
Returning the other party's words the way they came, and even parroting, since she was a child, it was the best way for Fuxuan to repay the naughty children who argued with her. She secretly rejoiced, today, she didn't think about it, and it came in handy again.
As expected, Xie Xinyao's face froze.
Fu Xuan not only gladly accepted her "praise", but also took the opportunity to order "Fiancé Jun", and almost said that the two would be a family sooner or later! Xie Xinyao repented, and if she praised the two of them, she might as well not mention it and change it to a different sarcasm!
Knowing that it was not a wise move to confront Xie Xinyao head-on, after finishing speaking, Fu Xuan covered her mouth and pretended to burp, and her body shook with it.
The maid Linglong has always been clever, and when she saw this, she immediately stepped forward to hug her own girl with interest, and said with concern: "The girl is sick?" ”
Fu Xuan was a little embarrassed, "Today's main wine is good, I drank a few more sips of the cup, and now I am a little dizzy." She raised her hand to hold her forehead and fell a little weakly on Linglong.
The voice of the maid replying was not loud or small, just enough for several people on both sides of Qushui to hear clearly: "The slave and maid help the girl to go to the pavilion over there to rest, and when the wine is gone, let's go back to the house." ”
Are you leaving? Xie Zhan involuntarily raised his eyes and locked his gaze on Fu Xuan, whose cheeks were red.
Fu Xuan apologized to Xie Xinyao: "I won't disturb Mrs. Wang's interest." Then he walked away in a vague footstep.
Of course she knows, but anyone who is not blind can see that she is pretending, but even if she pretends like this, these people will not debunk it in person, but will make a gesture of concern and let her rest well.
After all, for the Maison, decency is the most important thing.
Fu Xuan left in a dashing manner, but Xie Xinyao was a little like a fish in his throat.
Fu Xuan can call her "Miss Xie" here, but she just calls her "Mrs. Wang". Isn't she sarcastic, married to the vulgar fan of the Wang family?
