Chapter 182: I Think You've Changed Lately
Yue Qingshuang prides herself on being the first talented woman in the imperial city, but now she is staring at the son of someone who has a master, and wants to break up the marriage of others, which is really a little shameless.
Yue Qingshuang's face was a little uglier: "Xu Huanting! ”
Xie Yixiao doesn't want to mix the grievances between the two of them, to say that Yue Qingshuang is hypocritical, and Xu Huanting's arrogance and domineering bullying are also true, they are not good people, nor are they bad people.
"But I'm obsessed with the game, and I can't see it for a while." Xie Yi smiled, turned his head and instructed Xie Zhu, "Don't eat too much ice." ”
Xie Zhu is eating a bowl of cherry ice bowl, the cherries are soaked in a small smoothie, it tastes cold and sweet, the taste is very good, and it is very liked by the girls.
But it's really cold, and if you eat too much, your stomach will be light.
Xie Zhu couldn't help but nodded: "Little aunt, I'll eat this bowl, and I won't eat it later." ”
Xie Yixiao nodded, and stopped talking, she took a piece of watermelon to eat, and then sat there listening to the people next to her, her expression was calm, and she didn't see any anger, as if all these things had nothing to do with her.
Cao Sijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also looked at Xie Yi and smiled, although Yue Qingshuang did have those thoughts, but if she made trouble, even if she took advantage of it, her face was not good-looking, and if it was spread out, she might have to bear a reputation of jealousy.
The moon is clear and frosty, and the face is even more unsightly.
And as the one who held this cool banquet, she was also not good-looking.
Cao Sijin said: "If you like to eat cherries, the house also makes cherry fried, which is also extremely delicious, Miss Xie will taste it in a while." ”
Xie Zhu smiled: "Then I really want to taste the craftsmanship of the chef in the house." ”
At noon, the later guests also arrived one after another, and the Cao Guogong Mansion sent new food to the girls, including fried cherries, Bijian soup, peach rice, fairy rich cakes, stone soup, all kinds of porridge and dim sum soup are dazzling.
There was a lot of cold food in the front, but now that there is hot food, Xie Yixiao asked Mingjing to get a bowl of red bean porridge and two pastries, which was regarded as today's lunch.
Gu Ying and Gu Yun looked for an opportunity to come forward to speak, Gu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, can I come over here and sit with you?" ”
Gu You didn't come, the only girls from the Hou Mansion of Changning were Gu Ying and Gu Yun, both of whom were concubines, and their positions were separated by several tables from here, so naturally they couldn't reach the position of the main table.
This position is not something that anyone can sit on if they want to.
Xie Zhu is the granddaughter of Xie Ge Lao, although Xie Yixiao's father is a little worse, but she was born in the Xie family, she is a concubine, and she was given a marriage to Rong Jiu, so she can occupy a position here.
In addition, there are Xu Huanting, Yue Qingshuang, Jiang Zhaoling, etc., there are more than a dozen girls at a table, which one is not from a noble background?
Xie Yixiao thought to himself, why don't I give you the position?
But she didn't dare to say this, Gu Ying heard it, and she would really climb up along the pole and switch places with her.
"Fourth cousin, eldest cousin is getting better now?"
"Much better, I saw her wandering around the garden today." The news of Gu You's strange and difficult marriage has spread in the Imperial City, and many girls are very curious about it, and many people asked Gu Ying for the news just now.
Gu Ying said something, and she was sought after, and she was still a little fluttering.
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "Today is the cool banquet of the Cao Guo Mansion, the fourth cousin should know what the meaning of this banquet is, this girl, you must know the rules, know how to be proportionate, and don't talk nonsense." ”
This cool banquet in Cao Guogong's mansion is actually the meaning of looking at the girl for the sons and daughters of the mansion, there are a lot of sons and daughters in the Cao Guogong's mansion, and Cao Guogong himself has three sons, two sons and one concubine, and only the eldest son is married.
If you count from the grandfather of the old country, there are five or six sons who have not married, except for a small one, the rest can be married if they can't get married.
Gu Ying's eyes lit up, and then sure enough, she didn't bother with the position, she sat upright in her position, intending to make a knowledgeable appearance.
Xie Yixiao shook his head helplessly.
After a group of girls ate, Cao Sijin invited everyone to go for a walk in the garden, and the girls gathered in groups to play together, Xie Yixiao didn't want to walk around, so he sat in the pavilion and ate melon seeds boringly.
In this era, there are no sunflower seeds, but watermelon seeds, and now watermelons have two different growth directions, one is watermelon flesh, scoop red melon seeds are less sweet, and the other is specially planted with watermelon seeds, which is not much red and has many melon seeds.
Every time in summer, it is also the time when watermelons are ripe, some ordinary people and children can't eat watermelons, so they will go to the fields outside the city to grow watermelon seeds to eat watermelons, watermelons are eaten for free, but the melon seeds are left.
If you are more particular, you have to pick out the watermelon seeds to make people eat watermelon.
The people call it 'fighting melons', and if they have good feelings, they make an appointment to go to fight melons together tomorrow.
The girls played for a while, and someone proposed that everyone do a talent show, and many girls came with the idea of marrying the Duke of Cao Guofu, and they also wanted to show themselves, and they were eager to try it.
Cao Sijin also wanted to see the girls' skills, and was busy arranging this talent show, but whoever wanted to show it would come voluntarily.
The first performance was a very confident girl, she played a tune on the spot, and she played quite well, and when the second one came, she came on stage and composed a little poem, which was neither good nor bad, and she got off the stage a little shyly.
Qin Yinqing went up and played a song of gonghou, Xie Yixiao listened carefully, and felt that the skills were indeed extraordinary.
Xie Yixiao listened to it, and then remembered the original owner, Qin Yinqing had been chasing after the original owner, wanting to suppress her, thinking that the original owner should be better.
It's a pity.
She closed her eyes and felt that the sun in the sky was a little harsh.
After Qin Yinqing finished playing, she glanced over here proudly, and saw that Xie Yixiao didn't even look at it with her eyes closed, so she was really a little angry in her heart, and got off the stage angrily and came to settle accounts with her.
"What do you think I'm playing now?"
Xie Yixiao opened his eyes, smiled and asked her to sit down, and then said, "Very good." ”
Qin Yinqing showed a smug smile, but she reacted and pressed it down again: "I'm better now than before, and one day, I will play better than you." ”
Xie Yi smiled badly and made her lose the motivation to move forward, smiled and nodded: "Okay, you must be able to, no one will be able to compare with you in the future." ”
Qin Yinqing felt that she should be very happy when she heard this, but she was not happy at all at this time, as if she had worked hard to compete with the other party for many years, but the other party suddenly admitted defeat.
It's boring.
“... I think you've changed lately. ”
