Chapter Seventy-Five: Making a Name [1]
Wuhou Mansion, Inner Mansion, is very lively.
Today is the New Year's Day, and the entire Chang'an City welcomes the festival, and the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion, who is a noble in Beijing, is naturally no exception.
In order to celebrate the New Year's Eve, Mrs. Bai personally ordered to find a well-known Liyuan opera troupe in Beijing to come to Fuzhong to set up a stage and sing a big opera.
In front of the stage, a group of ladies from the Bai family headed by Mrs. Bai gathered together.
Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan, Bai Feifeng
Of course, it also includes Bai Yusheng.
In addition, Zhen was also invited to bring Xiangling, Han Shiyin and the maid here.
In fact, if she could, Zhen didn't like to mix with the ladies of the Inner Mansion such as Old Taijun Bai, and she also knew that Bai Yuxian must have already had the intention of setting up her own door, and sooner or later she would be independent of the Wuhou Mansion.
But this time, it was Bai Lao Taijun who took the initiative to send someone to invite her, so Zhen couldn't shirk it so he brought Xiangling, Han Shiyin and the maid over.
After all, now they are still living in the Wuhou Mansion, and it is not good to make the relationship between the two sides too stiff.
Since Mrs. Bai has taken the initiative to invite, she still has to give her face on the surface, just maintain a polite and harmonious appearance.
And Mrs. Bai took the initiative to invite Zhen, and she did have the idea of easing the relationship in her heart.
After all, now that Bai Yuxian has been admitted to the Guozijian, his reputation in the mansion is skyrocketing.
Even if she doesn't like Bai Yuxian in her heart, what she likes most in her heart is her own grandson Bai Yusheng.
But out of rational considerations, for the sake of the interests of the entire Wuhou Mansion, she also had to admit the fact that Bai Yuxian was excellent, and even the Bai family of the Wuhou Mansion in the future may have to rely on Bai Yuxian, so she must also find a way to repair this relationship.
Even if it is only to maintain a superficial relationship, it must not continue to be rigid.
For this reason, Mrs. Bai also deliberately arranged the position of the Zhen family by her side.
In front of the stage, Mrs. Bai sat in the center of the first row, with Zhen on the left, and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Mi on the right.
The second row behind is Bai Yusheng, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan, Xiangling, Han Shiyin, and Bai Feifeng.
And then there are some other important maids who are favored.
Han Shiyin and Xiangling sat together, with Bai Feifeng on the far side on the left, and Bai Xue and Bai Yue sisters on the right.
Bai Yusheng sat between Bai Qian and Bai Qian.
At the same time, Bai Qian and Bai Qian are also Bai Yusheng's sisters, and they were also born to Mrs. Wang.
On the stage, the big drama is exciting.
But under the stage, although Mrs. Bai and others watched the big play, there were few people who really thought about the stage.
In the second row, Bai Yusheng's gaze couldn't help but peek at Han Shiyin and Xiangling.
Because Bai Yusheng felt that he hadn't seen much during this time, Han Shiyin seemed to have become more beautiful, more bright and moving, and even gorgeous and dazzling.
Although Han Shiyin was also beautiful in the past, Bai Yusheng was sure that Han Shiyin in the past was definitely not as good-looking as she is now.
and Xiangling, who was sitting with Han Shiyin, was not inferior to Han Shiyin in the slightest.
Especially at this moment, Han Shiyin and Xiangling are sitting together, the two are like a pair of bright and moving sisters, they are really stunning.
Even Bai Feifeng, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan and other women who were also great beauties looked pale in front of Han Shiyin and Xiangling at this moment.
Bai Yusheng couldn't help but feel uncontrollable for a while, and couldn't help but look at Han Shiyin and Xiangling frequently.
Feeling Bai Yusheng's gaze from time to time, Han Shiyin and Xiangling couldn't help but feel disgusted.
During this period, Bai Yusheng also wanted to take the initiative to find Bai Xue to change positions and get to Han Shiyin and Xiangling's side, but after seeing Han Shiyin and Xiangling unabashedly that he wanted to change and get up directly, he had to sit in place.
Then Xiangling and Han Shiyin didn't pay attention to Bai Yusheng, and talked to Bai Feifeng and Bai Xue on the left and right in a low voice, during which Bai Yusheng interjected and ignored it.
Bai Xue also didn't like Bai Yusheng in her heart for a long time, so she ignored Bai Yusheng like Xiangling and Han Shiyin, and Bai Feifeng was also a delicate person, seeing that Han Shiyin and Xiangling obviously didn't like Bai Yusheng, they didn't introduce Bai Yusheng into the conversation of several people.
After all, Han Shiyin and Xiangling are all white jade immortals behind them, and now that Bai Yuxian is in full swing, Bai Feifeng doesn't want to offend Bai Yuxian by currying favor with Bai Yusheng.
In the front row of seats, Mrs. Bai, Zhen, Mrs. Wang and others actually paid attention to the situation in the back row.
also noticed Han Shiyin and Xiangling's dislike of Bai Yusheng and Bai Yusheng's performance.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi glanced at each other without moving, and they both saw each other's looks of watching a show.
Mrs. Wang looked a little unsightly.
Old Taijun Bai's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of unhappiness, but looking at the Zhen family who was next to him and thinking of the current Bai Yuxian, he still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and pretended not to see it and said to Zhen with a smile on his face.
"I heard that this Yuan Xi poetry event held by His Majesty, Brother Xian'er and the prisoners of their country can directly participate without signing up."
"I heard Yuxian say that this is indeed the case, this Yuan Xi poetry event, their Guozijian prisoners can directly enter and participate with the identity token of Guozijian." Zhen replied.
"So this Guozijian is different, now Brother Xian'er is really promising, he was admitted to the Guozijian, and my entire Wuhou Mansion has a light on his face, Brother Xian'er will definitely be a big official in the future."
At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was on the side, answered.
"Brother Xian'er's ability and talent are naturally beyond doubt, if you want me to say, tonight's Yuan Xi poetry event, Brother Xian'er will definitely shine and win fame in one fell swoop."
"I can't even say that I can win the championship in one fell swoop and get the gentleman's sword given by the Son of Heaven, if that's the case, it will really make a name for myself and win glory for my Wuhou Mansion."
Zhen looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile when he heard this.
This girl is not a good person, she is playing and killing here, and now she says so, if she responds, but when the results of the next Yuanxi poetry event come out, Bai Yuxian failed to enter the top three and win the name, it will be embarrassing.
"The eldest lady has an overreputation, Yuxian is indeed talented, but this time I can participate in the Yuanxi poetry event, which one is not a famous talent in my capital, which one is not full of talent, Yuxian wants to stand out from it, I am afraid it is extremely difficult, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven."
"However, this Yuanxi poetry event, being qualified to participate is already a great honor, far better than countless people."
The smile on Zhen's face remained unchanged.
Mrs. Wang, who originally wanted to play and kill, suddenly froze.
Zhen's words were hiding needles in Mianli to ridicule her, saying that being qualified to participate was already a great honor far better than countless people.
Thinking about it again, her son Bai Yusheng took the initiative to sign up and was not eligible to participate, isn't this just ridiculing her.
Regardless of whether Bai Yuxian can shine at the Yuanxi Poetry Festival this time, Bai Yuxian is at least qualified to participate.
And her son Bai Yusheng is not even qualified to participate.
Old Lady Bai's face also stiffened.
"Good news! Good news!."
At this moment, a sound of good news came from afar outside the gate of the rear courtyard.
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked behind them, and immediately saw a small guy who had been sent to the scene of the Yuanxi poetry festival running back.
"But there is news that there is a brother Yuxian in the Yuanxi Poetry Festival." Han Shiyin immediately got up and asked.
"Miss Hui Shiyin, it's the Jade Fairy Prince."
The little guy ran out of breath, but with a happy face, he hurriedly said.
"The primary selection of the previous Yuanxi poetry event is over, and the Jade Fairy Boy has been successfully selected, and then it will be the second choice, if the Jade Fairy Boy can pass again, he will be able to compete for the final top three rankings."
"Great."
Han Shiyin and Xiangling, as well as the maids Qingmei and Yuzhu behind them, and the maids Xiaotao and Xiaolan beside Zhen's side suddenly showed excitement and joy.
Zhen's face also instantly smiled.
Bai Yusheng looked unhappy in an instant, and the faces of Mrs. Wang and Old Lady Bai were also a little stiff.
Especially Mrs. Wang, listening to Bai Yuxian's good news, she only felt more uncomfortable than killing herself.
"I don't know what kind of poems Brother Yuxian wrote." Immediately, Han Shiyin seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly asked curiously.
"The little one has been copied down, Miss Shiyin, please take a look."
Han Shiyin immediately took the copy.
"There are lights without a moon and there is no entertainment, and a month without lights is not spring; When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver."
"Brother Yuxian's poems are really excellent."
Everyone else present also praised it one after another.
"Keep watching, and I'll report back as soon as there's any news."
Mrs. Wang urged the little girl who came back to summon the news.
But he gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that I don't believe that you Bai Yuxian can really win the name in one fell swoop tonight.
