Chapter 4: Disaster Causes the Minister's Mansion Flower Viewing Banquet
Pang Ruyan's mind has always been delicate, and when she saw that Liu Shuyue's eyes were dark, she didn't speak, as if she was still immersed in sadness, so she took her hand and walked to the door. "Don't think about it so much, today's banquet, you take a walk and take a look, and see which of our young people in Kyoto can get into your eyes. ”
Her words were like a good medicine, which made Liu Shuyue laugh softly, and her face eased a lot, "Sister said that she was laughing, how can I find a reason to pick others." But sister, you can take a look again, these sons in Kyoto like their sisters. ”
The two talked and laughed all the way, joked, and soon walked to the door. At the gate, a dark pink carriage was parked there, and the little man who was driving the carriage was sitting on it, and when he saw his young lady coming, he took his soft feet and put them under the carriage for the young lady to use.
Pang Ruyan took Liu Shuyue's hand and wanted to go up together, "Let's go together in my carriage, it's spacious here, and our sisters can talk." ”
"No, sister, I also have a carriage here," Liu Shuyue looked around, but didn't see the shadow of the carriage, and just wanted to call Xiaoju to ask where the carriage was, but saw Xiaoju's eyes dodging, and her face was a little wrong, "What's the matter, what about the carriage you prepared?"
"The carriage, the carriage was used by the young lady, saying that she was in a hurry to go to the temple to worship incense. Liu Shuyue couldn't help but sneer in her heart, and she understood immediately. Where does a vulgar woman have any intention to worship incense, and besides, it is not good to go at any time, but she is about to go out just in time, and she is obviously taking the opportunity to take away her carriage. Others don't know, but she knows very well, this sister-in-law, like her brother, is also a master who loves to take advantage.
Fortunately, Sister Ru Yan came to pick her up, otherwise how could this Xiangfu banquet be successful, and how could she have a chance to get rid of here. "Then I'm going to bother my sister. Ru Yan and Shu Yue stepped on the soft collapse and got into the carriage one after the other, and the maid Zhu'er and Xiaoju also followed.
When Pang Ruyan and Liu Shuyue first entered the carriage, Pang Ruyun, the second lady of Pang Mansion, was sitting in the middle of the carriage, and when she saw Liu Shuyue coming in, she just glanced at it and did not speak. Pang Ruyan warmly invited Liu Shuyue to sit on the right side of the carriage, sat down with her, and glanced at Ru Yun with a smile, "Yun'er, say hello to Sister Shuyue." ”
"Oh," Pang Ruyun was a little reluctant, Liu Shuyue was just the daughter of a small six-grade official, but she and her sister were the daughters of Shangshu Mansion, it stands to reason that Liu Shuyue was not worthy of sitting in a carriage with them, but she stammered her sister vigorously, clearly wanting something. Pang Ruyun looked down on her a little, but thinking that she had to rely on her sister to take her to the banquet, it was better to deal with it, Pang Ruyun casually arched her hand, which was regarded as a courtesy, "I've seen Sister Shuyue." ”
"The second lady is polite. Liu Shuyue hurriedly returned a salute, she and Pang Ruyan knew each other like sisters, but with this second lady Pang Ruyun, they were only limited to taking pictures and greetings. Therefore, the title is also more polite and restrained, and only calls the second lady.
After a few words of greeting, Pang Ruyun simply didn't bother anymore, and opened the corner of the curtain to look at the scenery on the road curiously. The carriage of Pang Mansion is relatively spacious, which will seat five girls, and it is not too crowded, and there can be a little gap. The two maids sat side by side on the left side of the carriage, and Pang Ruyan and Liu Shuyue chatted casually on the side.
In a blink of an eye, the carriage came to the majestic and majestic Prime Minister's Mansion, which was already busy and lively at this moment. When the maid Zhu'er handed over the name post, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly greeted Pang Ruyan and his party into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Pang Ruyan and Liu Shuyue walked in the front row, Pang Ruyun followed closely behind, and maid Zhu'er and Xiaoju followed in the back. Pang Ruyun is the first time to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she is naturally very curious, others say that they have a big Pang Mansion and many other courtyards, but compared with the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is still a lot worse. The majestic Prime Minister's Mansion is majestic, spacious and bright, the furnishings are exquisite, it can be called a five-step scene, and the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion is full of flowers, especially the peony flowers are blooming, and the unique buildings and scenery of the Prime Minister's Mansion are quite compatible.
Although there are many young ladies and sons in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment, Pang Ruyan and his entourage are still very eye-catching when they walk in the courtyard. I heard that Miss Pang Ruyan, the daughter of Pang Mansion, is as beautiful as a flower and has a figure like a weak willow supporting the wind, and she can never forget it when she sees it once, and when she sees it today, she really deserves her name, and many young ladies around her have whispered and talked about this huge young lady, Pang Ruyan also seems to have gotten used to it, and she didn't care, but just took Liu Shuyue's hand and walked gently.
After all, Liu Shuyue is also the first time to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, with her identity, such a noble Prime Minister's Mansion was originally not qualified to enter, and because she and Pang Ruyan walked side by side, there were also people around them, it was a pair of women standing on the side of the road, looking at her from the corner of their eyes, although the voice was not loud, but Liu Shuyue heard it clearly. "Who is this, which house is it, how have I never seen it. ”
As soon as she heard someone talking about herself, Liu Shuyue couldn't help but lower her head a little, a little nervous, and her palms were sweaty. Sensing her nervousness, Pang Ruyan took her hand tighter, and said softly and comfortingly, "Don't be nervous, relax." ”
Pang Ruyan and Liu Shuyue were walking on the main road in the back garden, only to see a lady in a gorgeous dress walking slowly with two maids, seeing Pang Ruyan's pace a little faster, when she got closer, she looked at Pang Ruyan's eyes full of joy, and couldn't help but look at it carefully, and asked, "Is this Miss Ruyan?"
"Yes, Ru Yan has seen Madame. Pang Ruyan bowed, bent her knees slightly, and made a blessing salute.
The prime minister's wife, Han Shi, raised her eyes, looked at the beauty slightly, and was very satisfied, sure enough, she was a beautiful girl, delicate and elegant, and her behavior was also very dignified and decent, she was still the daughter of Shangshufu, and her voice was also very delicate and soft, which was quite satisfactory. At that moment, Han Shi helped her up and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, we will be a family soon." ”
Raise your eyes, look at the beauty slightly, delicate and elegant, dignified and decent. Oh, it's really a lovely person, raising his hand slightly, crystal jade.
This "family" called Pang Ruyan a little distracted, but remembering that the two families had already decided to marry, they would inevitably marry in the future, and the family was right, but marrying someone always felt too hasty for those who were not ready, but it was not easy to say anything. So he smiled slightly and replied softly, "Madam, you're polite, this is my sister Pang Ruyun." Seeing her sister introduce herself, Pang Ruyun on the side hurriedly stepped forward to salute, wanting to leave a good impression on the prime minister's wife.
"It's so beautiful, as beautiful as your sister. Han Shi took her hand and couldn't stop praising her, and this also made Ru Yun's heart feel happy, and the smile on her face deepened.
"In the future, come with your sister to our Xiangfu and walk around, and when the time comes, I will ask Lang'er to accompany you around. After a few words of greeting, the prime minister's wife, Han, noticed that there was a woman in pink standing next to Pang Ruyan, who looked very dignified and polite, so she couldn't help but be curious, "Who is this girl?"
Patronizing the greetings, she almost forgot to introduce her, Pang Ruyan hurriedly pulled Liu Shuyue forward, "Madam, this is Liu Shuyue, I have known each other for more than three years, and I am like a sister." This time, Ru Yan took matters into her own hands, brought her with her, and asked her not to be surprised. ”
"What's the matter, multiple people are more lively. Your sister is naturally also a distinguished guest of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Besides, I look at this willow girl very beautiful and generous, I like it very much. After that, Han took Liu Shuyue's hand and looked at her eyebrows carefully, the pair of moon curved eyebrows were very distinctive, which made people like it more and more, "The appearance is really dignified and good-looking, I don't know if Miss Liu has ever been married?"
Listening to the prime minister's wife ask about her marriage, Liu Shuyue couldn't help but be a little shy, with a little shyness on her face, "Thank you for your concern, Shuyue has never been married." ”
"Okay, there are a lot of people here today, and there are a lot of sons, you take a closer look to see if there is anything you like, if there is, just tell me, and I will make a good match for you." "I don't know when the Han family even wants to be a matchmaker, maybe I'm very happy today, maybe it's because she is Pang Ruyan's good sister, so the more I look at it, the more I like it. But I didn't know that my fate with this Liu Shuyue in the future would be very deep.
After standing in the courtyard and chatting for a while, a maid came over to tell the other guests that they had come, and Han left. And after she left, Liu Shuyue was also very happy, she was finally noticed, and it was worth the trip. And Pang Ruyan was also very happy for her, "Sister Shuyue, you see, even the prime minister's wife is looking forward to kissing you, if you have a crush on any son, you must tell me, don't miss your good marriage." ”
"My sister used to make fun of me. Xu was shy by Pang Ruyan's words, Liu Shuyue's face was red, and she pulled Pang Ruyan's water sleeve and laughed shyly. The two of them joked for a while, but it also alleviated Liu Shuyue's panic when she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the stones hanging in her heart finally fell some, and she could also face the crowd of people looking at her freely.
"Sister, look at these flowers are so beautiful. After putting aside the scruples in her heart, Liu Shuyue and Pang Ruyan enjoyed the flowers, and the mood was also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. And Pang Ruyun, the second lady of Pang, came to the Xiangfu for the first time, and because she was playful by nature, she couldn't help but be very curious, and walked aside to look at the flowers.
