Chapter 43 It turned out to be a Hongmen feast
"Don't worry, Mama, Xiao Qinxue took the initiative to invite me to this poetry meeting, how can it be kind? It's just that if I don't go, there will be another time, and I don't know what purpose I was invited to.
"Why don't I go this time and see what tricks she plays?"
"Can you handle it yourself?" Mama Qin saw that Ling Zhiqiao understood in her heart, and she was even more worried.
"Isn't there still Zhang Liu'er? I couldn't leave her, and I also mentioned to Twilight that if he had time, he would definitely come uninvited. Ling Zhiqiao was a little proud when she said this.
Mama Qin said happily: "How many times have I said it, don't call His Royal Highness by name, what you know is that you think you are close, and if you don't know, you should be said to be rude." ”
"Mama, you're wrong again, we don't call it closeness, but alliance, it's similar to the sisterhood of Yijie Jinlan!"
"Haha, Miss Old Slave Xin, you're weird." I'm going to make clothes for you.
"No, Mama, I have to explain it to you, I ....." Jiang Wanqing chased after Mama Qin, who had already gone out, to break her relationship with Twilight Yunhan.
But Mama Qin quickly went down to the attic and ran to make clothes for them.
"It's so fast, how do you feel faster than me!" Ling Zhiqiao muttered, and reluctantly went back to the attic to study her drawings.
The day of the wine tasting poetry meeting.
Ling Zhiqiao got up and dressed up, wearing the same clothes given to Zhang Liu'er, but she secretly took off the beaded hairpin earrings and other cumbersome things that Mama Qin brought to her and put them aside, and only brought a mother's white jade jade hairpin.
When Mama Qin accompanied her to the gate of the mansion, Xiao Qinxue was already waiting for her in the carriage!
Unlike usual, she was waiting patiently, which made Ling Zhiqiao even more verified, Xiao Qinxue must have a trick.
"My sister is waiting for me in the carriage so early, don't you think it's boring here?" Ling Zhiqiao thought in her heart, if you are pleasant, I will be more pleasant than you, and see which of us can pretend to be whom.
"Wait for your sister, why are you bored, come on!"
The carriage slowly walked towards a private house in the Imperial History Mansion of the Criminal Department, and Xiao Qinxue peeked at Ling Zhiqiao's outfit.
I saw that she was still wearing the same clothes as when the crown princess was selected, and Ling Zhiqiao's fair face seemed to be powdered with fat, but there was no trace of powder.
She didn't bring much jewelry, but just a magnolia jade hairpin on the cloud bun was already elegant.
Ling Zhiqiao's set today is obviously the one for the selection of the crown princess, but the hair ornament is different.
Xiao Qinxue sneered in her heart, Ling Zhiqiao, after today, I will see how arrogant you are.
And while Xiao Qinxue was looking at Ling Zhiqiao with a smile, Ling Zhiqiao was also looking back at her.
It's just that Ling Zhiqiao didn't have the heart to look at her dress, she just wanted to see the clues from this Xiao Qinxue's expression!
In the end, it was Xiao Qinxue who couldn't hold back and spoke first: "My sister is wearing such a grand dress today." But is it to attract which marquis at the wine tasting poetry meeting? ”
Ling Zhi Qiao Wan'er smiled and said, "Why did my sister say this? I am the one who has an agreement with the Second Highness, although the Second Highness is not in the eyes of my sister now, but in the eyes of my sister, it is also a talent, a second prince with outstanding demeanor, how can I still look at other people? ”
"As for my outfit? What a grand place is this! I usually wear it like this, but if my sister really likes it, I'll give her a set when I get home today. ”
Xiao Qinxue's hearts are now tearing each other apart. One thought told her to hold back and not get angry. The other thought was to kick Ling Zhiqiao out of the carriage right away.
But in the end, she still held back, Xiao Qinxue lifted the bead curtain of the car window to look outside, and said to Ling Zhiqiao with a smile: "It seems that my sister is really in love with His Royal Highness!" As if my sister didn't say anything, we arrived right away. ”
Seeing that it didn't anger Xiao Qinxue, Ling Zhiqiao felt that she had to be more careful for a while.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, Ling Zhiqiao heard Zhang Liu'er, the daughter of Taiwei Mansion Yin.
"Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao, I'm here."
Ling Zhiqiao stepped forward, and the two held hands very affectionately: "Why don't you go in?" What to do at the door? ”
"Of course I'm waiting for you, I know that the young lady was also invited today, I'm very happy, you see that I specially wore the clothes you gave me, we are the same."
Ling Zhiqiao's guess was not wrong at all, this Liu Er was really wearing the set of clothes she sent, but she didn't expect it to be a kind of round beauty.
Xiao Qinxue saw at a glance that Zhang Liu'er, the concubine of the Yin family of the Taiwei Mansion, was wearing exactly the same clothes as Ling Zhiqiao.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart. When did the two of them get together? I haven't heard that Ling Zhiqiao is going to visit!
She thought about it again, I don't care who she wears the same clothes, today I must let Ling Zhiqiao fall into my trap and never turn over.
Xiao Qinxue stepped forward and said to Ling Zhiqiao and Zhang Liu'er, who were chatting enthusiastically: "Don't talk hotly outside this door, the poetry meeting will start immediately, and we will continue to chat while tasting wine and chanting poetry." ”
"Let's go, Sister Qiao, I'll sit next to you!" Zhang Liu'er grabbed Ling Zhiqiao's arm and was about to walk inside.
Xiao Qinxue was a little confused, she asked behind Zhang Liu'er: "I said Sister Liu'er, I remember that you are a few hours younger than me, how can you call Sister Qiao'er?" Xiao Qinxue's etiquette in front of outsiders is still very sufficient.
Zhang Liu'er smiled, the little fat on her face was squeezed together, her eyes were smiling like a curved crescent, and her fleshy lips said, "I am willing to call Sister Qiao'er." ”
Zhang Liu'er's unintentional words made Xiao Qinxue speechless, I am willing to be a good one, sooner or later, I Xiao Qinxue will turn you Zhang Liuer into a thin chicken!
Xiao Qinxue stopped talking, but she didn't show any anger, she just walked in and went to find Xie Xiaoyu and Zhao Qiyue.
The house where they tasted wine and poetry today was not very big, it was originally a private house of Xie Xiaoyu's father.
Occasionally, whether it was Xie An or Xie Xiaoyu inviting friends or holding a drinking party or something, Xie Yushi would send them to the private house to do it, out of sight and out of mind, but he didn't expect that these noble ladies and marquis would be happy and at ease.
Xie Xiaoyu and Zhao Qiyue had been waiting for Xiao Qinxue, and Xie An took Jiang Dawei to enter the Imperial History of the Criminal Department through the side door before anyone came.
This Jiang Dawei, when he heard Xie An and his plan yesterday, he didn't sleep well all night, scratching his ears and cheeks and thinking about good things tomorrow.
So in order to be sure, he followed Xie An to the private residence of the wine tasting society early.
Ling Zhiqiao also saw that Xie Xiaoyu and Zhao Qiyue were the sharp-toothed noblewomen in the Women's Virtue Academy that day, wearing red and yellow clothes!
"Liu'er, have we been invited?"
"That's right, Sister Qiao'er, I don't know why you invited the two of us, is there anything wrong?"
"That's not true, it's just weird, have you ever participated in this kind of wine tasting before?" Ling Zhiqiao and Zhang Liu'er found a place to sit down.
"How is that possible? They didn't invite me, they thought I was too fat and held them back. After Zhang Liu'er finished speaking, Ling Zhiqiao became even more suspicious.
"Liu'er, you decided not to leave with me today, understand?" Ling Zhiqiao whispered in Zhang Liu'er's ear.
This Zhang Liu'er suddenly became nervous: "What did my sister ask me to do?" What will I do? Never leave my sister half a step. ”
Ling Zhiqiao thought about telling Zhang Liu'er to follow her, if something really happened, she could also take care of Zhang Liu'er, but what she didn't expect was that Xiao Qinxue would come up with such a vicious trap to deal with her.
Gradually, the invited nobles and little marquis have arrived, this Xie An doesn't want to waste the opportunity to appreciate the beauty, he wants to take a look, what kind of beauty makes Jiang Xiaohou lose his soul.
Today's presiding over the poetry meeting is Xie Xiaoyu, she walked to the middle of the empty room surrounded by everyone's wine table, looked around and said: "Today's invitation to you to come to taste wine and chant poetry is the first poetry meeting this year. ”
Thank you for coming, there is a small pot of green orange brew in front of each table here, which has just been sealed, you can taste it first, and use the first wine to cheer up.
Ling Zhiqiao and Zhang Liu'er had never been to this kind of poetry meeting, so they both looked curiously at the small pot of wine in front of the table. If you say it's a small pot of wine, you can actually pour a glass or two. Otherwise, if you taste these dozens of pots, you will be drunk for three days and three nights.
Zhang Liu'er had to sit with Ling Zhiqiao, so there were two pots of wine in front of her.
I saw that the nobles and marquis who had participated in similar poetry meetings before didn't use wine glasses at all, but directly took the small pot and drank it directly to their mouths.
Zhang Liu'er looked strange, and tugged on Ling Zhiqiao's sleeve and said, "They just pick it up and drink it, and they don't need a cup." ”
Ling Zhiqiao looked at it coldly and said, "You may think that drinking like this makes you feel very bold!" But I think it's better not to drink it. ”
"It's okay, Sister Qiao'er, don't drink it, I'll drink it for you."
Before Ling Zhiqiao could stop Zhang Liu'er, Zhang Liu'er picked up the wine jug and drank it all.
"Liu'er, this is wine tasting, not drinking, aren't you going to get drunk in a while."
"My sister doesn't know, no one knows how much I drink, let alone a pot of this kind of wine, even if I come to fifty pots, I won't feel sleepy."
Ling Zhiqiao looked at Zhang Liu'er with infinite admiration, and thought in her heart, this is the legendary god of wine! It's just that it's a chubby Bacchus god.
Ling Zhiqiao shook her head helplessly: "Don't drink the second pot." ”
"Sister Jo'er, just sit back and see what tricks they can play? I'll take care of the wine for you. But as for reciting poetry, I can't do anything about it, I don't like to memorize poetry. ”
Ling Zhiqiao hugged Zhang Liu'er's chubby waist and said with a smile: "I now know that Sister Liu'er has two big lives that are okay, one is the hobby of drinking, and the other is the hobby of eating meat. Yes or no. ”
Zhang Liu'er stuffed another bite of pastry in her mouth, and said to Ling Zhiqiao with her mouth puffed.
When the two of them were bowing their heads and whispering, Xie An's girl, holding a small wine jug, stepped forward and walked to Ling Zhiqiao and Zhang Liu'er's table.
"Is this the beauty of the beautiful capital, Ling Zhiqiao, the daughter of the general's mansion who shocked the prince and chose the concubine?"
Ling Zhiqiao and Zhang Liu'er listened, they were afraid that Xie An in front of them would say too long sentences, and they couldn't breathe and fainted.
They glanced at each other, and Zhang Liu'er understood that Ling Zhiqiao didn't know Xie An, and just wanted to open her mouth to tell Ling Zhiqiao who this person was?
Ling Zhiqiao patted Zhang Liu'er's hand and motioned for her not to speak.
She raised her eyes and asked very unfriendly: "Dare to ask which family is this Hou Ye in front of you?" This wine tasting poetry meeting has just tasted a wine, and has not yet started to chant poetry? It seems that Hou Ye is a little drunk. ”
Xie An stared at Ling Zhiqiao, who was looking up at him, and didn't hear what Ling Zhiqiao was talking to him at all? Even the wine in the small flask in his hand spilled a little, and he didn't even feel it.
The concubine of the General's Mansion, as Jiang Xiaohou said, has an indescribable beauty, she really doesn't need any gold and silver jewelry to decorate, just a small face, which makes people unforgettable.
This Xie An Xie Hou Ye had long forgotten about his love for Xiao Qinxue, and stared at Ling Zhiqiao completely disregarded.
