The boy in red
The day of the birthday of Mrs. Ping'an soon came, Song Chu'an got up earlier than in the past to dress up, and changed into new clothes for her from the spring, and the light blue dress lined was particularly beautiful.
In her life, she never wore gaudy and tacky clothes, nor did she paint heavy makeup, but she only applied a little smoke powder from the spring, and the beauty of the skin itself was revealed.
The carriage was ready at the gate of the mansion, and the Xue family had sent someone to inform her to meet at the Hanging Flower Gate yesterday, but because of the old lady's age, she did not go to the mansion and only went to the two of their daughters.
Even so, Song Chu'an still went to Shou'an Hall to say hello first.
As for her two elder brothers, it is said that they are classmates with the little marquis of Ping'an Houfu, and they should go together at that time.
"Miss, can you memorize the rules taught by Mama?" Chunlai followed behind Song Chu'an and was walking towards the Hanging Flower Gate.
Song Chu'an hummed lightly: "I remember it all clearly." ”
Yesterday, because the Xue family was afraid that Song Chu'an would lose the Song family's people at the banquet, they specially sent the grandmother around her to teach her the etiquette, but it only took an hour for Song Chu'an to complete the grandmother's homework.
She knew these things a long time ago, in her previous life, whether before or after she entered the palace, she couldn't remember how many times she had done it, and when she first entered the palace, she was a little nobleman who almost had to salute people.
Song Chu'an hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, and waited for Xue's figure at the Hanging Flower Gate.
The Xue family came quickly, and Song Chu'an had just set up the heel of the pillar when he saw the Xue family walking over from a distance with the maid and the maid.
Song Chu'an straightened his back and stood up straight, and bowed to Xue Yingying: "Greetings to my mother." ”
Xue Shi looked at the flowing movements in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he recovered his expression and said lightly: "Get up." ”
Seeing this, the grandmother who followed Xue's side continued: "Behind is the carriage of the young lady. ”
After hearing Mama's words, Song Chu'an first stood up straight, and then walked straight to the carriage behind him with Chunlai without dragging his feet.
Even if she didn't arrange it like this, she didn't want to make a carriage with the Xue family at all, and two people who didn't know each other were crowded together, just afraid that the atmosphere would be extremely embarrassing.
……
The carriage drove towards the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, Song Chu sat quietly in the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, she was reborn once, so the scene outside the mansion was not uncommon to her.
On the contrary, Chunlai was very happy, opened the corner of the curtain and looked left and right, and said to Song Chu'an from time to time: "Miss, look, there is a candy seller here, and this is a ...... seller."
The spring came and chirped like a little yellow bird, so Song Chu'an had no choice but to respond patiently to the words of the spring.
The carriage jolted towards the east of the city, and soon the cries of the vendors weakened, and the east of the city relied on the Son of Heaven, and most of them were the residences of the noble royal family, and the mansions where they sat were all luxurious.
"Rack!"
Suddenly there was a sound of riding a horse outside the car, and Song Chuan didn't want to pay attention to it, but the man was riding too fast and almost hit her carriage.
The groom tightened the reins and let out a long shout.
The wind blowing from the collision between the horses and the carriage blew the curtain, and Song Chuan poked his head over to look over.
The horse was riding a tall young man, with long hair tied into a ponytail, and a red dress on his body that looked extraordinarily fair-skinned, and he looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and a pair of inky eyes were looking at her with a slightly apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I rushed home at my mother's order, and I didn't pay attention for a while before I crashed into Miss's carriage."
The young man's tone was sincere, Song Chu'an shook his head and was about to give up, but saw Xue Shi get out of the carriage and come over with the maid and wife.
Xue was stunned when he saw the young man, and the young man was also stunned when he saw Xue, and the two seemed to know each other.
"I've seen Mrs. Song."
The young man first bowed to the Xue family.
Xue Shi also returned the salute, and then asked: "The little marquis is polite, aren't Song Ting and Song Yu with the little marquis?" ”
Song Chu'an sat in the carriage and listened to the conversation between the two, and then his eyes wandered to the waist of the young man in red, and there was a black jade engraved with a big Gu character on it.
This is probably the little marquis of the Ping'an Hou Mansion.
Song Chu'an just guessed in her heart, after all, she had never seen this little marquis in her previous life.
But the next scene directly confirmed her thoughts, Song Yu and Song Ting drove their horses to this side, and when they saw their own carriage, they pulled up the reins and stopped, but when they got closer, they saw Gu Siming, the little marquis who had already set off from the academy in advance.
Both of them were stunned.
Song Yu took the lead in getting off the horse, approached Gu Siming and asked, "Why did you stop here?" Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Hou will smoke your board late? ”
When Gu Siming heard Song Yu's words, Qingfeng Jiyue's face instantly darkened, and when he thought of the consequences of being late for his mother's birthday banquet, his legs instantly floated up, and he hurriedly said to Xue: "I should leave now, I can't help accidentally crashing into Miss Zunfu's carriage today, and Gu will apologize again in the future." ”
Hearing Gu Siming's explanation in a few words, Song Yu and Song Ting also understood in their hearts at this time, it was Gu Siming who was in a hurry and happened to crash into their carriage.
The reason why Gu Siming is so anxious is not without reason, Mrs. Ping'an Hou was born in Prince Lian's mansion and is the county lord of the former emperor, this honor is unique in the capital, but the temperament of the county lord is also unique in the capital.
Because she was pampered and grew up, relying on the fact that her father was the only brother of the saint to enjoy the honor, the nobles of Kyoto did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her, even if she was married, Ping'an Hou was afraid of her, not to mention Gu Xiaohou, who was a son.
Gu Siming begged his master to return early yesterday in the bookstore, but the old pedant was so old-fashioned that he didn't want to live or die, so he got up early in the morning in desperation, and rode his horse to his home before dawn, but he still spent a lot of effort on the road.
Today is his mother's birthday, and if he goes late, he is afraid that he will be smoked.
On the side, Song Yu smiled and gloated when he saw Gu Siming's worried look: "You better go quickly." ”
Gu Siming glanced at Song Yu, and when he wanted to do the same to Cen Xiang as usual, he saw the little girl who was looking at him with her head up, which made Gu Siming let go of Cen Ren's thoughts, and he leaned into Song Yu's ear and asked curiously: "Why don't I know when there will be a young lady in your family?" ”
Song Yu was stunned, but Song Ting came over at this time and added, "He mentioned Chu An's with you." ”
Gu Siming let out a thoughtful sigh and looked in the direction of Song Chu'an, this time it was finally his turn to gloat, Gu Siming suddenly said to Song Yu: "Song Yu, this is the sister who is compatible with you." ”
Gu Siming's voice was not small, it happened to reach Song Chu'an's ears, she looked at the high-spirited young man in front of her and had completely lost her good feelings, this person was wearing a red and flamboyant clothes, and he even joked about her and Song Yu's eight characters in the middle of his words, he really lived like a gentleman.
"Gu Siming." Song Yu suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
Gu Siming saw that he had provoked Song Yu, so he immediately pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, turned around and got on the horse, leaving a waving back.
