Chapter Thirty-Eight: Eating Melon (Lan Shi)

The Ningguo Mansion is also the home of prosperity. The sons of Zhenguo Gong were welcoming guests outside, and when they saw Ning Guogong getting off the carriage, they immediately greeted him, one by one, and then personally led everyone into the house.

After passing through the front courtyard and turning a few verandahs, the men and women were separated from each other. The banquet places for men and women are different, just to avoid suspicion. Therefore, they actually don't see any male customers today.

Li Shi had told the feast bell about this rule before, and said: "So, I want to dress you up in a dignified atmosphere, and the ladies love the atmospheric girl." ”

After all, it is necessary to be a housekeeper in the future. They especially don't like the petty and stupid.

Because of this, the feast bell still has some dislikes for Kyoto. She thought that compared to Kyoto, although Lingnan was poorer, there were not so many rules, although she did not often go out to eat banquets in the past, but when she ate banquets, the ladies and girls were relaxed and loved to laugh, unlike now, everyone laughed properly, as if they were measuring it with a ruler.

It's not that she doesn't think this kind of laugh is bad, it's that she doesn't laugh like that. If you don't smile like this, you look like an outsider, but in fact, you can see through it at a glance, for example, now, when your aunt takes her to talk to each family, the first thing everyone says is, "You just came to Kyoto, right?" Ouch, it's still tender. ”

Li laughed, "Don't make fun of her, she's a stupid solid-eyed girl." ”

Feast Ling Yingying bent down, pursed her lips and smiled without speaking, looking shy but generous. The fifth girl has been taken away by other familiar girls, and she is the only one who follows her aunt. She was quite nervous, afraid of showing her timidity, so she simply pretended to be shy.

The ladies laughed out loud good-naturedly, "It's no wonder that you are stuck together with your little five-day personality." ”

The Li family was able to bring the feast bell to meet these people, indicating that they were still familiar with them, and after meeting, the feast bell showed his face, and he was full of satisfaction to show his attitude towards this niece, so he no longer took the initiative to say that he wanted to choose a husband for her, which is the reserve of the family.

Then it's time to say a few other words. The Li family has been busy fighting with the old lady these days, and many things are only known but not the other, such as the prince's favorite concubine.

It's really not good to talk about this matter in the Zhenguo Mansion, after all, it's the princess's mother's family. But the ladies hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they could have said it quietly.

None of them couldn't help it, so a lady said: "The princess is kind, but the concubine's room is very high-flying, I heard that she just conceived a child, and she made a big fuss in the East Palace, crazy." ”

Li also heard about it. But she didn't know what the concubine was shouting.

Another lady said, "I don't know what to shout, I just know that I am crying and running outside." ”

Of course, he didn't run out, but many people knew about it. Under the imperial city, where is there anything new? All of you have your own opinions.

"The means of the concubines to compete for favor, can we still know? I guess who I want to frame again. ”

"Crying pitiful, ouch, pear blossoms bring rain, can a man feel distressed when he sees it?"

"I heard that I still ran outside barefoot, which is really immoral."

"If you want to compete for favor and harm others, you should also think about the children in your belly, so these concubines only care about their own favor, and they don't even care about their children."

said this, without mentioning the crown princess at all. No one would mention anything that could not be mentioned, so they stopped and talked about other things.

The feast bell pretended to be dignified and generous, but secretly pricked up his ears to listen once, and heard that the son of this family suddenly went crazy and wanted to become a monk, and the daughter of that family was really ignorant, and even had some means of framing him. She also heard a familiar name: Song Qingyun.

The ladies squeezed their eyebrows and didn't say the word no, but the feast bell instantly understood.

Of course, the Li clan has known for a long time! But she still didn't know, covered her mouth and said in surprise: "...... How could this kind of thing come out? I haven't heard of it at all. ”

A lady said, "Can you say this?" The Song family is hiding it! I still got close to the wife of the Zhou family, and I only knew. ”

The Li family made a sudden realization, "I remember, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family married into the Song family as a clan wife, right?" ”

Be. As a daughter-in-law, she naturally knows about the affairs of the Song family. She also helped find a doctor to see, saying that she was born and couldn't see it well.

This young lady is a well-known big mouth in Kyoto, even if Mrs. Song told her repeatedly, she still told many people in a short time.

Song Qingyun is a person, he is still amiable outside, and he has many friends, but he has been competing with Yu Xingzhi in the country all the year round, and he has suppressed many people invisibly, so some people are angry, and when they hear about it, they immediately take it as a lively look, and publicize it vigorously with him.

Anyway, his reputation was ruined. In the future, the daughter of a good family will not marry him. What did you do when you got married? Widowed?

They are all people with heads and faces, and no one can do this.

Li gloated, and had to restrain his smile and say fakely, "Hey, it's really ...... God is jealous of talent. ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

"It's a pity, I'm afraid that in the future, it will be the people of the country who will mention him, and he will not be famous, but such a reputation, which is really not good."

Feast Bell discovered that Song Qingyun's flaws instantly drowned out the name of his talent that he had worked hard for many years.

It's really hard to say, but she also gloated and lowered her head and smiled, feeling that God has his own retribution.

But speaking of Song Qingyun, the ladies naturally also remembered another talent. This is also a big one, offended the Ningguo Mansion, and it is not pitiful that he packed his bags and went out of Beijing a few days ago.

But the feast bell is still here, so it's hard for them to say. Li Shi wanted to hear about Yu Xingzhi's tragic situation, and he wanted to talk about his eight-character life in front of all the ladies, so he excitedly opened the feast bell, "You go to your fifth sister, and I will talk to your aunts." ”

The feast bell bowed and left.

The five girls were talking in the pavilion with the three girls, who had just followed her aunt in the corner of the garden. Walking from the corner to the pavilion, you need to pass through a path, on this path, the flowers are dense, it looks like it has not been taken care of, it is quite wild, but it also seems to be deliberately exposed to a "wild", and it has become four dislikes.

The feast bell will appreciate the flowers, and you can see the good and bad of this path, but when she is regarded as a flower reward, she is still a little timid.

Many girls were watching her along the way. There are those who look secretly, and there are those who look at it openly. She forcibly walked into the pavilion, kept her head up, and resolutely did not embarrass the Ningguo Mansion.

But when she got to the pavilion, she heard the five girls laughing at her, "Have you seen it, how many people look at you with straight eyes." , she instantly let off this breath, and lay on the body of the fifth girl and couldn't get up.

The fifth girl hugged her soft waist and smiled, "Look at you, look at me, it's not shallow." ”

The other girls in the pavilion also laughed, and they were all very kind, and they quickly began to talk. The feast bell found that although the five girls didn't seem to be good at words when they were at home, they were also very good at socializing outside, and they made people laugh in a few words.

They're saying nicknames.

Men are twenty years old and crowned, and then there will be a watch. Girls who are fifteen years old and will also have nicknames. But most people overlap a word inside their name.

For example, the five girls' maiden name is Xi, and their nickname is Xixi, and these girls all call her that.

But some girls will take one separately. For example, the one who wears yellow clothes in the pavilion now, she is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, her father has studied the criminal law all his life, and he is a strict person, so he named her Zhengqi.

That's right, it's really called righteousness. So what's her nickname? Positive? Gas? Then you have to take another one.

She was the youngest here, just turned fourteen, and she was worried about fifteen-year-old Xiaozi.

She said, "You don't know, I'm scared right now. I'm afraid that my father will give me some brave little words. ”

Hearing this, the bell laughed too. However, the girl quickly perked up again, and said, "I have also thought of a slightly better one, which can be used by both men and women, and I can't say that my father will agree, you can help me with the staff." ”

Feast Bell was curious: "What is the small print?" ”

"Lan Shi. That orchid time in the spring. What do you guys think? ”

The feast bell reminded me of the everlasting lamp placed in the Daxiong Treasure Temple.

If she remembers correctly, the name of the deceased is Jing Lanshi.

She stopped talking. I can't say anything about it. However, the faces of the fifth girl and the other two girls were a little unsightly, and they were a little hesitant to say something.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little frozen.
