33. The handsome son who swept the capital
"Ah, I heard that Yu Liugongzi is here."
"Is that the one who is a young man with excellent poetry and painting?"
"yes, yes. I'd love to take a look. ”
"Do you lose it? Actually want to see a man? ”
"Afraid of what? Princess An just sent someone to say, and the male guests will have a pot throwing and archery competition in the East Plum Garden. If you are interested, you can also watch it across the river. When the time comes, a large group of people will not be alone. What's under the big picture? ”
The two girls next to them became more and more excited the more they talked. The voice also raised unconsciously, attracting several people to look over.
When they heard that it was Yu Liugongzi, they also burst into flames.
Liu Xinning listened to their words and couldn't help but think about this Yu Liugongzi.
It seems to have been mentioned in the book that Yu Lingjun, the sixth son of Yu Liu, is seventeen this year, and is the youngest son of Yu Ge Lao in the cabinet.
Although he has not participated in the imperial examination now, he has already spread the reputation of poetry and painting, which has attracted the admiration of many ladies in the capital.
Later, it seems that he was the guest of honor of the county lord of Yunde?
There are only a few mentions in the book, so Liu Xinning is not impressed.
However, the original owner didn't know him because of his simple life.
"They are all young ladies of the military general's family, they are used to being straightforward, and they don't care so much about the defense of men and women. Don't be surprised, the county lord. ”
Lou Xinyue saw that the two girls were her friends, and couldn't help but explain to Liu Xinning.
She had heard from Ye Lanqing that the Liu family was a family of poets and calligraphers in You'an County, so she must be more concerned about these etiquettes, right?
"No, it won't. They're so bold and cute. Liu Xinning didn't feel anything wrong.
In their previous lives, the star-chasing fans were much crazier than them.
Lou Xinyue saw that Liu Xinning really didn't care, and felt more and more that Liu Xinning was tolerant.
So, when chatting, she brought a little sincerity. Liu Xinning naturally felt it, so the two of them were even more speculative.
was chatting happily, Ye Lanqing came back.
She suggested enthusiastically, "Let's go see the pitcher too, shall we?" ”
"You're going to see the pitcher? Haven't you always been uninterested in that? Lou Xinyue asked Ye Lanqing puzzled.
Ye Lanqing is a typical lady, known for her chastity and virtuousness, and rarely takes the initiative to join in this kind of excitement outside.
"I just want to go out and breathe. I've been in this room for a long time, and I'm still a little depressed. ”
Ye Lanqing gently pulled Lou Xinyue's sleeve and said with a smile.
"Okay." Lou Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.
"Cousin Zhaoyang, will you go with us?" Ye Lanqing warmly invited.
Liu Xinning looked at the people around who were all interested, and she was not disappointed, and promised to go to the plum garden with them.
Concubine An likes plum blossoms, so there is a large plum garden in King An's mansion. The plum orchard is divided into two halves by a small river five zhang wide.
Therefore, it is called the East Plum Garden on one side and the West Plum Garden on the other. A covered bridge was built between the two plum orchards for passage.
Today, in this plum banquet in King An's Mansion, the East Plum Garden is exclusively for male guests, and the West Plum Garden is exclusively for female guests.
At both ends of the covered bridge, they were guarded by their subordinates.
In order not to let the guests attending the banquet get bored, King An's Mansion held various small activities.
There are projects such as poetry and painting on the women's side, and small games such as pot throwing and archery on the men's side.
At this time, the ladies sat in the cloister, looking at the male guests opposite from a distance across the river.
And the children who were throwing pots and archery in Dongmei Garden also saw a group of women watching on the other side of the river, so they became more and more upright.
Most of the women's eyes were on Yu Lingjun and the others who were throwing pots, but Liu Xinning keenly felt that Ye Lanqing and Lou Xinyue had set their eyes on a man in a blue brocade robe.
Liu Xinning followed their gaze and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the man was tall and handsome, and he was about to shoot an arrow with a bow at this time, and he did not notice the eyes of others.
When he shot an arrow, it caused a round of applause: "Hit the bull's-eye." Xin Gongzi, your archery skills are getting more and more sophisticated. ”
"Exactly. Immediately, you, a person who studies in the town, are not inferior to the son of the military general's family in archery. Awesome, awesome! ”
The man seemed to be a little embarrassed by the compliments of the people around him, so he could only thank him again and again.
At the beginning, when Liu Xinning looked at it, because she didn't know it, she just saw it.
And when she heard this name at this time, her spirit tightened, and she was immediately pulled back to the plot of the book.
Xin Lishi, the eldest grandson of the Ministry of Shangshu. He was tall, handsome, and personable.
Now it's just the year of the weak crown, and he has already been admitted to Xiucai.
More adults from the Hanlin Academy have read his articles. said that his autumn next year is not a problem, and the spring of the next year will definitely be among the top three.
Compared with Yu Lingjun, a young man who is both unique in poetry and painting, in fact, Xin Lishi is the good son-in-law in the eyes of all the ladies to be married in the capital.
After all, there is no imperial examination for the rest of the Lingke.
In the book, the person who married this wishful husband was Ye Lanqing.
After Ye Lanqing got married, she and Xin immediately became a well-known loving couple in the capital, and the relationship between the two was rumored to be a good story.
But......
Xin Lishi is a paranoid in the name of love. He really loves Ye Lanqing deeply, but he is extremely possessive.
Not only did he not let Ye Lanqing contact outsiders, but even his family and the maids around him were not allowed to contact one after another.
He did it himself to Ye Lanqing and cared about everything, but he didn't have any freedom for Ye Lanqing.
And what about Ye Lanqing?
Liu Xinning struggled to recall what she had read.
Ye Lanqing was naturally happy at first.
The husband does not accept beautiful concubines, does not accept the house, and only focuses on her. Isn't this the dream of many women?
However, then she began to be reluctant. She wants to go out, she wants to be with people.
As a result, the originally gentle husband began to beg, intimidate, and coerce, using various methods to block her heart to go out.
Ye Lanqing told his family about this.
However, the eldest princess of Feng'an died of illness in the second year after she got married.
And her father and brother, as men, felt that this was a sign that Xin immediately cared about her. Therefore, only let her concentrate on her husband.
In the end, Ye Lanqing died of depression.
When Ye Lanqing was dying, Lou Xinyue heard all the things from Ye Lanqing, which became a pain in the heroine's heart.
But the heroine couldn't even help Ye Lanqing get justice.
Because after the heroine disclosed Xin Lishi's affairs, under Xin Lishi's rhetoric, it became affectionate and affectionate.
Even after Ye Lanqing's filial piety period, after Xin immediately married a new lady who looked like Ye Lanqing, he spread the name of affection.
And Xin Lishi's new wife, is she a docile person, or is she a social phobia? For Xin Lishi's imprisonment, he was not disgusted......
She cooperated with Xin Lishi's show of affection, which made Xin Lishi's reputation better and better.
This made the heroine even more painful, and she couldn't let go of it for a long time, until Xin died immediately......
Liu Xinning retracted her thoughts and looked at Ye Lanqing again.
At this time, Ye Lanqing said that she came to see the pitcher, so she must have secretly come to see Xin Lishi, right?
Sure enough, Ye Lanqing looked at it again and again a little shyly.
And the smart Lou Xinyue also understood her friend's thoughts, and couldn't help but joke with her eyes.
Liu Xinning looked at the scene in front of her and thought in her heart.
The ladies watched for a while, and then it was time to go to the luncheon.
After a luncheon, the people with ordinary relationships took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
Some of the close people talked again.
The eldest princess of Changle, the eldest princess of Feng'an, and King An are sisters and brothers, so they stayed for a while.
Liu Xinning also stayed and chatted with Ye Lanqing and Lou Xinyue for a while.
However, she also left quickly, leaving the space for the two friends to talk privately.
