Chapter 137: The Wife of Confucius
The long-haired woman asked in a soft voice, curious.
At this time, everyone was climbing the mountain, chatting in twos and threes.
But as soon as this statement came out.
The air fell silent.
Most people's eyes invariably turned to Concubine Zhao Ling.
At this moment, Concubine Zhao Lingfei had already broken away from the crowd and was walking alone on the edge of the mountain road, tilting her head slightly, looking at the delicate purple clothes with a distracted look, and the white clothes were incompatible with the vermilion flowers.
Everyone looked at each other, but not many people looked surprised.
Presumably, many people have heard of this rumor in the house, but it has not been admitted by the person concerned.
Ning Ying, who was chatting with others, suddenly stopped, turned her head, and looked at the silent Concubine Zhao Ling, with beautiful eyes,
I looked at it carefully.
In her impression, Concubine Zhao didn't like to wear Taiqing Mansion's standard white clothes before.
In the period before returning to her hometown to visit relatives at the beginning of the year, Zhao Lingfei often wore brightly colored clothes.
Especially red.
For a while, as long as there was a woman in the house wearing a red dress, it would attract special attention, because many men in the house knew that there was a woman who liked to wear red.
But after Zhao Lingfei came back from her hometown, which seemed to be called Da Li.
The whole person was dressed plainly.
The faint and delicate makeup that used to be worn regularly is no longer there.
Now, no matter what time it is, it is like a hibiscus in the water.
Well, although it is still extremely beautiful, it has also lost some of its light, and the whole person is a little dim.
By the way, since I met her, I saw that she had been wearing the ink-colored jade plate around her waist is gone, I remember that it used to be inseparable, and she would often wipe it with an embroidered handkerchief in her spare time, biting her lip in a daze.
I thought it was a relic left by her relatives, but now it seems to be ......
Ning Ying raised her eyebrows and moved her gaze upward.
And.
The most reverie, and also a major basis for the rumors in the house, is the green silk she coiled.
Coiled hair is also called curling hair.
In the mainstream tradition of the Xuanhuang world, there is no mandatory hairstyle for women after marriage, and it can be changed according to the woman's heart.
But.
Confucianism does.
There is a Confucian academy in Duyou City, so some Confucian customs are known to many people in the city, and Ning Ying has also heard of them.
The wife of a Confucian scholar must coil up the green silk, which is to maintain her demeanor.
In the basic etiquette of Confucianism, there is also a lot of attention paid to coiled hair.
Unless you make a big mistake, you can't put down the coiled green silk in front of outsiders.
Only her husband can untie her green silk.
And the coiled hair must be dignified and chic, and cannot be fiddled with at will.
Ning Ying looked at Zhao Lingfei's curled hair playfully.
It is dignified and neat, but it is only simply inserted with a wooden flute, without any other gold and silver hair accessories, and her current clothes are as simple as that, which Confucianism does not seem to regulate......
I heard that the reason why Confucianism requires women to have their hair curled and dignified is because women want to run a house, and this is a symbol of status, a kind of oath, swearing that after they get married, from hair to toes, they are under the control of their husbands.
Ning Ying scoffed at this, what kind of bullshit etiquette is this.
But......
Ning Ying smiled playfully.
So, the husband of Concubine Xiaoling is a Confucian student?
The corners of her mouth were still curled.
"Little Lingfei, what your senior sister Yu'er said is true?"
After Senior Sister Yu'er asked a question just now, Concubine Zhao Lingfei didn't make a sound, and she didn't know if she heard it, she was still looking at the flowers on the side, and her footsteps didn't stop.
As a result, no one could see her expression.
At this time, Ning Ying spoke again, because there was no one to chat, and the voice was clearly audible.
Everyone's eyes were all on Zhao Lingfei, who was on the side.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three-interest ......
Fortunately, this time it didn't make everyone wait too long.
The next moment, Concubine Zhao Ling had already turned her head.
Yan Ran smiled.
"Hmm. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
In addition to her rare brilliant smile, it is more because of her response.
Among the crowd, there were some men, their expressions remained unchanged, and Jun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes flickered, and he blinked his slightly sour eyes that had just been staring at for too long, and turned his head away to look at the woman who had known that he was out of reach for a long time.
In addition, many people inhaled slightly, in a state of shock.
What is heard in the rumors and what the parties admit are completely different things.
Now they've finally confirmed.
Concubine Zhao Ling has a husband!
This can definitely become a hot topic in the four mansions of Taiqing recently, and many mansions have been hot topics after tea and dinner.
Senior Sister Yu'er, who was the first to ask, opened her eyes wide, she licked her lips, and opened her mouth to ask some more curious questions, well, such as...... That Confucian ...... Is he the reading seed of the academy?
But Senior Sister Yu'er's gaze met Ning Ying's indifferent look, and she immediately shut up.
There was an awkward silence in the air.
"Alright. Ning Ying smiled, walked over and held Zhao Lingfei's hand, and smiled.
"Today is the happy day of Sister Yao'er and Brother Cheng, let's hurry up, the ceremony is about to begin." ”
Everyone should claim yes and hurry up the mountain.
Ning Ying glanced at Concubine Zhao Ling's expression, and it was the same as not long ago, cold and quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.
She coughed lightly, looked left and right, and suddenly found a topic and said:
"I didn't expect Xinran Sect to have a relationship with Mrs. Purple, and I can borrow this secluded mountain for half a day, I have never seen Mrs. Purple in the Star Picking Tower...... It seems that it is not bad to join the Xinran Sect, little Lingfei, why don't you come after you graduate?"
Concubine Zhao Ling smiled and did not answer.
——————
Under the mountains.
Zhao Rong went back to Lu Wan's carriage.
Seeing that Lu Wan hadn't come back yet, he also left.
He found a restaurant close to the entrance at the foot of the mountain.
After going in and ordering a cup of tea, I looked left and right, and sure enough, there was a monk who cast the spell of the mirror flower and the moon, and was watching the Taoist ceremony on the hidden mountain.
It was a ten-foot curtain of water in the center of the hall.
Zhao Rong approached and looked at it.
Above the flowing water curtain, the panoramic view of the mountain lookout platform is clearly visible.
Zhao Rong huddled in the crowd and looked up.
After waiting for a while, sure enough, in a group of people who came belatedly, I found that shadow.
He didn't care about the others in the ceremony.
His eyes were locked on Qingjun.
On the water curtain is an oblique and overlooking angle, although it is very clear, but it is a little far away, and you can only see the general appearance of Qingjun, but you can't see the specific expression.
But Zhao Rong felt that it was enough.
also looked at her quietly, and he was also very relieved.
After being separated for more than half a year, I finally found her.
Zhao Rong glanced at the two pairs of jade plates on his waist and smiled lightly.
Not much.
Inside the water curtain.
The white mist is filled, and the fairy music is singing in unison.
A group of feather fairy ribbons are flying,.
The ceremony began.
