May 11 is the day to set up a family and hold a banquet.
As for the newly arrived residence, Luoyue's government was still waiting until it was learned that the king of Zhennan would come in person, and even the princess would come, so they immediately stopped hesitating and went to an's house. As a result, a long queue of cars lined the gate of the good morning mansion, blocking the alleys.
The front door of the house was wide open, and Feng's wife, with her mother in charge, was greeting the guests at the second gate. All the visitors today were either rich or expensive. Feng was very careful when he mentioned that he was afraid of offending the noble people.
When nangongyue, Xiao Fei and Zhou roujia's carriage arrived, they were first introduced to the gate by the people of an's mansion. Feng personally led nangongyue and his party to the garden in the inner courtyard.
After bypassing a goose wing screen wall, the party walked along a cobblestone path.
In front of him, while leading the way, Feng introduced the scenery of the courtyard to nangongyue. In a short time, he saw a rugged rockery and a small lake beside the rockery. The blue lake water was golden in the sun.
The water of the lake is not uncommon. There is no pond in any garden. What's strange is a long Wisteria corridor built along the lake. At a glance, the deep and shallow purples are mixed together, which is incredible.
When they came to the flower Gallery, they found that there were still pots of peonies blooming on both sides of the gallery. Peonies like light but avoid exposure to the sun. It is just right to put them in the shade gallery. Moreover, wisteria flowers are as gorgeous as clouds in the distance, but they look inferior to each other in the near view, and they will not rob the peony of its elegant demeanor.
In the flower Gallery, they all unconsciously slow down and enjoy the beautiful water, mountains and flowers At the end of the flower Gallery, a large flower shed was built, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere. The flower shed was connected to a double eaves Pavilion. The yellow glazed tiles were laid on the top of the pavilion, which was brilliant in the sun.
At the moment, the pavilion, the flower shed under a noisy voice.
Many wives and girls have arrived, and their wives are dressed in gorgeous colors and jewels. At a glance, people are more delicate than flowers.
Seeing that Nangong Yue and his party came, the women's families all around stood up and prepared to give Nangong Yue a present.
Madame anda, with a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, took the lead in welcoming him. After saluting Nangong Yue, Madame anda said, "princess, this is my third daughter. She knows her painting well."
The third girl of an family, an Zhi, walked forward half a step. She had a melon seed face, a pair of bright big eyes and a cherry mouth slightly cocked up. She seemed to be a girl who loved to laugh.
Today, she wore a peach blossom carved silk mound and a peony bun. On her head, she wore a golden silk inlaid with precious peony hairpin, which could be regarded as the scene of today's "Peony banquet".
Nangong Yue is looking at an Zhi's paintings. An Zhi Hua also looks at the three of them without a trace. He immediately concludes that the young lady standing in the middle must be the imperial concubine, while the girl on her right hand who has not reached the hairpin is Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei. The identity of the other young lady is not difficult to judge. It must be the second young lady who has just entered the door.
On the surface, an Zhi's paintings are still smiling brightly, but in his heart, he is full of ups and downs. He has heard for a long time that the imperial concubine's "virtuous name" is outside. Today, it seems that she has a perfect life. Madam, Xiao Fang's family has just been abandoned by the prince. According to the truth, Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei, the children of Xiao Fang's family, must be in an awkward position in the palace. However, even so, the princess still brought the elder Xiao and the second young lady together, so that people could not make mistakes, and even felt that the elder sister-in-law of shizifei was kind-hearted
The princess is either a kind-hearted person or a very deep-seated person. If it is the former, how can she even abandon her mother-in-law?!
The more he thought about the painting, the more alert he was. But now shiziye is very powerful in southern Xinjiang. In the whole southern Xinjiang, shizifei is the most respected woman. Who dares to offend shizifei! Even if she married into the palace in the future, I'm afraid she has to respect her son and concubine.
In the Pavilion behind, the eyes of many young women's wives are projected on nangongyue and his party. There are examinations, speculations and doubts In the past, when spring hunting, there were many wives who were ambitious to let Xiao Fei be their daughter-in-law. Nowadays, many of them feel regretful and even secretly ponder that they must draw a clear line with Xiao Fei in the future, so as not to make the son-in-law unhappy.
"My little girl, an Shi, knows that she has seen her concubine."
An knows that the painting is full of happiness. He salutes Nangong Yue with a smile. He hesitates and ponders: do you want to suppress Miss Xiao to please the imperial concubine?
"No gifts for my cousin."
Nangong Yue raised his hand with a smile, and then politely praised An Zhi's painting, such as "knowledgeable, gentle and quiet", and pulled out a gold inlaid jade jewelry bracelet from his wrist and presented it as a meeting gift.
After receiving both hands, an Zhihua put it directly on his wrist, smiling and thanking him.
Then, the female dependents of other residences in the pavilion also came to greet Nangong Yue one after another.
When all the women gathered around Nangong Yue, he sat down again one by one. It was already a cup of tea. His wife and girls exchanged greetings with acquaintances."Miss Xiao." Chang Huanwei smiles and greets Xiao Fei. She doesn't notice that Mrs. Chang's face is stiff behind her.
In the past, Mrs. Chang hoped that her daughter would make more friends with Xiao Fei, but she was reluctant to do so. But now Xiao Fei's position in the palace is so delicate and embarrassing that her daughter will bump into her.
But thinking of Xiao Fei's maintenance of Chang Huanwei in spring hunting, Mrs. Chang hesitated.
She is not a poor and rich family. If Xiao Fei turns over her face and doesn't recognize people because she is down for a while, it seems that she is too powerful But the son is still under the command of shiziye. If he is too close to Miss Xiao, will he not be happy?
Mrs. Chang is immersed in the tangled mood alone. Chang Huanwei has already sat down beside Xiao Fei. After a while, they talk about Qin with you and me.
Nangong Yue didn't know about the thoughts of the women around him, but he didn't want to say more. In some people's eyes, he was just trying to cover up. Besides, she didn't want to find a family for Xiao Fei that could only share wealth but not adversity.
Life is so short, so long, who can guarantee their life can be smooth!
Nangong Yue looks at Chang Huanwei with a smile. For the first time, she leaves an impression on Chang Huanwei. Chang Huaixi's sister is a person who can go with each other. It's good for Fei to have more intimate friends in the future.
After that, the women took nangongyue as the center, exchanged greetings and looked at the harmony. As for what each person was thinking, only they knew.
After sitting for a while, an Zhihua suggested with a smile: "princess, it's hard for me to get together with some of the girls here today. It's not interesting to wait for the guests to arrive at the banquet. It's better for me to play a little game with some girls and get familiar with each other. If the imperial concubine thinks the little girl's idea is good, can she give her a prize? "
She laughed more brightly than the sunshine outside the pavilion, showing a pair of lovely dimples at the corner of her mouth, coupled with her pretty face and big black eyes, which made her feel good at seeing it.
The girls were whispering to each other about this saying of an Zhi painting, which made the atmosphere lively.
Today's peony banquet because of the presence of the princess, these girls will inevitably appear a little cramped, if you play a small game together, you can also relax.
Nangong Yue did not intend to be a disappointment. He asked with a smile, "how do you want to play?"
Seeing that Nangong Yue didn't have any objection, an Zhihua continued with ease: "beating drums and spreading flowers. When the drum stops, the hydrangea falls into the hands of those who will recite a poem, and those who have not thought of it in the five breaths will be eliminated. "
At this time, a lady on one side said with a smile: "princess, it's a good idea. Anyway, it's boring for them to sit here with us. It's better for them to play by themselves."
"Yes." Another lady echoed, and then proposed, "since today is a peony banquet, according to my opinion, this poem should also be a scene. It must have something to do with peony. What do you think, princess
"Madam Yu, that's a good idea." Nangong Yue nodded his head and said, "as for this colorful head, if anyone wins, I will reward her with a set of red gold face inlaid with three colored gems."
The girls on one side were more excited and chattered with their friends.
An Zhihua orders the servant girl to get the hydrangea.
Nangong Yue turned his head and looked at Xiao Fei and asked in a low voice, "Fei's sister..." Are you going to play together?
Xiao Fei shakes her head. She always likes quiet but not moving, so she likes playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not interested in games such as drumming, flower passing and pot throwing.
Nangong Yue takes Xiao Fei out to relax and enjoy the flowers, so he doesn't want to force her.
She smiles at Xiao Fei and points to the flower Gallery over there: "sister Fei, I see that Wisteria flowers in the flower gallery are blooming so well. Why don't you go and pick some and make some fresh tea Anyway, Xiao Fei doesn't like strangers. It's better to let her play and walk.
Xiao Fei's eyes brightened. She remembered that her sister-in-law told her that Wisteria flowers were not only good-looking, but also could be used as medicine and edible to make Wisteria cake and purple basket cake. If she was in the palace at the moment, Xiao Fei would like to make a big fight.
She was about to answer, but listening to an Zhi painting on the side, she said with a smile, "the princess and I have thought of going together. Today, I have prepared some purple basket cake and Wisteria flower wine for a small drink. I will definitely taste it later. "
Nangong Yue answered lightly.
After that, Xiao Fei stood up, and Chang Huanwei beside her said excitedly, "Miss Xiao, I'll go with you!"
The two girls left hand in hand, a blue and a green back, slender and graceful, looking like two sisters.
An Zhihua looks at Xiao Fei's back, her eyes flash, and her heart is more and more sure of her previous guess.
It's OK to ask a servant girl to do such a thing, but let Miss Xiao go Sure enough, Princess Shizi looks good to Miss Xiao, but she's just doing some superficial work.I'm afraid the imperial concubine brought Miss Xiao here. The biggest purpose is to be mean and humiliating.
She half drooped her eyes to cover the color in her eyes.
After a while, the servant girls of an's house successively put on Wisteria cake and purple basket cake.
The ladies tasted the cakes, and two servant girls in blue and purple dresses hurriedly got the musical instruments and hydrangeas for drumming and flower transmission.
Although the game is called "beating drums and passing flowers", these famous families often use other musical instruments to replace drums for elegance, such as Qin, Xiao, Se, and Pipa used in today's Anzhi painting.
However, what attracted people's attention was not the pipa, but the big red Hydrangea in the hands of another small servant girl.
This is hydrangea. Actually, it is a huge red silk flower. There is a hollow out golden ball on the outside of the silk flower. The golden ball is really exquisite. The flower pattern is outlined with gold wire on it. The ruby is inlaid with ruby in the stamen. Moreover, the ruby is wrapped in a small golden ball which is as small as a finger. It is extremely exquisite and complicated However, it was made by a famous craftsman, and it's worth a lot!
As soon as the girls saw the hydrangea, they couldn't help but look around. A girl in purple took it in her hand and looked at it again and again. She couldn't put it down and said, "Miss ANN, where are you making this golden orb? I also want to have one made. "
I said with a smile from my father's eyes. You can't buy it. "
Everyone knows to settle down and engage in maritime trade, so it's no wonder that you can get this rare and precious thing.
Those girls knew that this golden orb was unique in southern Xinjiang and even in the whole Dayu, and they envied it even more. They held each one in their hands and enjoyed it. They praised the delicacy of the hydrangea and the elegance of the three girls.
After a smile and politeness, an Zhihua asked several girls to play under the flower shed.
The servant girls have already formed a large circle around more than a dozen pear blossom wood chairs according to the number of girls. The girls, one by one, are like birds released from their cages, glowing with a youthful and moving look.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very lively, and the ladies in the pavilion also looked at the direction of the flower shed, smiling and laughing.
Zhou roujia sat on nangongyue's left hand side and said with a smile, "sister-in-law, this Wisteria cake is very good. Although it's a little bit sweet and greasy, it's just right to go with this Pu'er."
Zhou Rujia looked at the remaining half of nangongyue's hot tea cup. She quickly ordered her servant girl to add tea to her and sent a small dish of Wisteria cake to nangongyue.
Not far away, an Zhihua seems to be talking to a pink girl beside her, but she has been paying close attention to nangongyue. Seeing Zhou Rujia whispering with nangongyue for a while, and busy with busy work for a while, an Zhihua is disdainful of Zhou roujia, and at the same time is also at ease.
As long as you can see through what kind of person she is. Afraid that the other side does not show the truth, then he does not know how to move.
An Zhi had an idea in his mind. Seeing that the girls were all sitting down one by one, he gave an order to the maid, and then began to spread flowers by beating drums.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng..."
When the sonorous and powerful Pipa sounds, the hydrangea is thrown out of the hand of an Zhi's painting and falls into the hands of the pink girl on her right hand. The pink girl thinks that she is the second one, and is not nervous. She slowly plans to pass the hydrangea to the next girl. Unexpectedly, the hydrangea has not taken off, and the pipa sound stops suddenly.
Several girls and their wives were surprised. They were stunned, but an Zhihua laughed, and playfully compared his right hand to remind them: "sister Yu, five rest time." Between the words, the five slender jade fingers have been folded up, turned into four.
The other girl was just a little surprised. She quickly responded and said a catchy poem: "only peony is really national color."
The more simple the game is at the beginning, and the later, most of the verses have been recited. The more challenging it is.
After Miss Yu read the poem, the pipa sounds again. The golden and red hydrangeas are tossed among the girls' plain hands
From time to time, the girls read poems such as "who doesn't love peony flowers", "peerless only Westerners, all fangs only peony", "red crisp points out peony", and so on. Some of them can only be out of the game because of their temporary impatience.
From time to time, the maids moved away the empty chairs. After one incense stick, there were only nine chairs left under the flower shed, that is, nine girls, including an Zhi painting.
When the game is going on, most of the women's catchy peony poems have been read by other girls. Although there is no poetry available, we should be careful that other girls say their prepared poems first. Even if this is just a small game, unconsciously, the atmosphere can not help becoming a little nervous.
After Miss Yu read out that "the first crown of flowers is elegant, and the Spring Festival is broken every year", the sound of Pipa rings again
At this time, Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, who had picked a basket of Wisteria flowers, came back laughing and joking. In the flower Gallery, they looked at the lake, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and picked Wisteria. It was really relaxing. Chang Huanwei also made an appointment with Xiao Fei to enjoy paintings and tea in Huanxi Pavilion.The two girls were laughing and joking as they walked along the flower gallery.
An Zhi Hua quickly glanced at Xiao Fei from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes flashed. Then she quickly made a gesture. The servant girl who played the lute immediately understood it. At the moment when the embroidered ball fell into the hands of an Zhi painting, she suddenly pressed down the pipa string.
"Dang --"
an Zhihua gave a low, nervous cry. The Hydrangea in his hand came out of his hand, slipped through the air and fell on the ground. Then he rolled towards Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, and rolled to a distance of one or two feet from Xiao Fei
An Zhihua stood up and stroked her skirt. Then she spat out her tongue and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, I just slipped my hand. Can you help me pick it up?"
An Zhi's paintings are witty and casual, as if they were just asking Xiao Fei to do a favor. But the ladies present were not idiots. In an instant, they heard the provocation in this sentence.
It's not a servant girl without an's house. An Zhi's painting has to let Xiao Fei, a legitimate daughter of the royal family, bend down to pick up embroidered balls for her. Isn't it intentional to humiliate each other?
It seems that the third girl of an family has a lively disposition. In fact, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, most of the ladies are waiting for the good play, or taking tea cups, eating snacks, or pretending to appreciate flowers. They all want to see what kind of attitude Princess Shizi is to Xiao Fei. Mrs. Yao and Madame Tian have some understanding of nangongyue's conduct. They know that shizifei's temperament is not a person who has fallen into a trap. An Zhi's painting is probably flattering The imperial concubine's intention is to make a fool of herself.
Xiao Fei looked at an Zhihua with cold eyes, and her expression remained unchanged, neither angry nor humiliated.
She was not the "Xiao Fei" who used to be that lonely and self admiring. Of course, she also realized some mockery, some coldness and even some malice hidden in the eyes around her.
An Zhihua and Xiao Fei look at each other and smile more brightly. A girl of fifteen years old just needs a smile to make up, which is more beautiful and dazzling than those precious jewelry and powder clothes.
Time in this moment, seems to be stagnant for a moment, silent around, as if even the wind is still.
What a bully! Chang Huanwei frowns slightly and moves forward half step, but is held down by Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei's eyes moved away from an Zhi painting and looked at Nangong Yue in the pavilion.
Xiao Fei doesn't care about settling down, but after all, settling down is a relative of elder brother
Nangong Yue smiles at Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei's heart has a moment.
With Xiao Fei's eyes on nangongyue, an Zhi's paintings naturally saw nangongyue's subtle expressions and movements. However, she thought that the imperial concubine was praising her and felt more proud.
At this time, Xiao Fei moved.
An Zhi's smile at the corners of her mouth is deeper, waiting for Xiao Fei to lean down to pick up the ball, but she doesn't want Xiao Fei to step on the embroidered ball directly.
"Kera --"
the hollowed out witch ball is as delicate as a delicate flower, and it can't stand the twists and turns. When Xiao Fei goes down at will, the golden orb is trampled down in an instant. The precious treasure that was originally worth thousands of gold is almost worthless in an instant. Only a few big rubies are still shining in the sunshine.
It was quiet again. Everyone could see that it was Xiao Fei's reply. It was simple and rude, and showed a trace of contempt. It seemed that she was telling an Zhihua that in your identity, I was not worthy of talking with you!
