May 11th is the day of the banquet.
Regarding this newly arrived home, Luo Yuecheng's provinces were still watching until they learned that the Zhennan King would be there, and even the concubine would come, and they would no longer hesitate to go to Anfu, so early in the morning A long queue of cars lined up at the gate of the house, blocking the alley.
The main entrance of the house was wide open. Mrs. An, Mrs. An, accompanied by the steward, was welcoming guests at the second door. Today's guests are rich or expensive. Feng's caution is 120,000, lest he accidentally offend. Noble.
When the carriages of Nangongyu, Xiaoyu, and Zhou Roujia arrived, they were immediately introduced to the door by the people of Anfu. Feng also personally led Nangongyu and his party to the courtyard of the inner courtyard.
After bypassing a goose wing, the pedestrian walked along a cobblestone path.
Feng led the way in front of them, and introduced them to the scenery in the courtyard. Soon, they saw a rocky rockery, and a small lake beside the rocky rock. The blue lake was glowing in the sun. Golden shine.
The water in this lake is not unusual. There is no pond in any garden. What is strange is a long wisteria flower corridor built along the lake. At a glance, the deep purple shades are mixed together. It's incredible.
When they walked into the flower gallery, they found that there were still pots of peony flowers blooming on both sides of the flower gallery. The peony is very light but not exposed to the sun. It is just right to put it in the shaded flower gallery, and the wisteria flower looks far away. Gorgeous like layers of clouds, but they look indistinguishable from a close view, and do not steal the style of peony.
A group of people slowly slowed down in the flower gallery, admiring the good water, good mountains, and good flowers ... At the end of the flower gallery, a large flower shed was set up, overflowing with fragrance, and the flower shed was connected to a double eave Gazebo-style, with yellow glazed tiles on the top of the gazebo, is gorgeous and shining in the sun.
At this moment, there was a laugh and a noise in the gazebo and the flower shed.
A lot of ladies and girls have arrived, and the family members are all dressed in bright red and pearly looks. They are more beautiful than flowers at a glance.
As soon as Nangong Yu and his party came, the female relatives around him stood up and prepared to pay respect to Nangong Yu.
Mrs. An led a 15-year-old girl to greet her. After saluting to Nangong, Mrs. An introduced: "Sir concubine, these are my three daughters, and my daughter knows her painting."
The three girls An Zhi painted the first half step forward, and saw her face, the dark black bangs with big bright eyes, the small mouth of cherry slightly raised, it seems like a very laughable girl.
Today she wore a pink peony flower carved silk raccoon, pulled a peony puppet, and wore a golden tired silk inlaid peony hairpin on her head. This body can be regarded as the scene of today's "Peony feast".
Nangong Yu is looking at An Zhi painting, An Zhi painting is also looking at the three of them without any trace, and it is immediately determined that the young lady standing in the middle must be the concubine, and there are many girls who are not yet on the right hand. Eighty-nine is Xiao Xiao, the young girl, and the identity of the other young lady is not difficult to judge. It must be the new second lady.
On the surface of the painting, An Zhihua still smiled brightly, but her heart was full of ups and downs: Jiu Wen heard that the concubine's "sage name" was out, and today it seems that she is alive and well. His wife, Xiao Fang, was just abandoned by Wang Ye. According to the truth, Xiao Luan's and Xiao Lu's children must be in an awkward position in the palace, but even so, the concubine brought Xiao Xiao and Mrs. Xiao together. After coming out, people can't pick where to go wrong, and even think that Shi Zifei is a long-term gentle ...
This concubine is either a kind-hearted person, or I am afraid that she is a very deep-minded person-if it is the former, how could she fight so much that her mother-in-law is abandoned? !!
An Zhihua became more and more vigilant the more she wanted to, but now the grandfather Shi is powerful in the southern Xinjiang. In the entire southern Xinjiang, the youngest concubine is the most honorable woman. Who dares to offend the young concubine! Even if she marries into the palace in the future, she will have to respect the concubine a little.
In the rear pavilion, the eyes of the young girl's family were projected on Nangong Yu's group. Among them were inspections, speculations, and doubts ... Before, during the spring hunt, how many wives were ambitious to make Xiao Yu his own daughter-in-law Today, how many ladies have regrets, and even secretly pondered that they would have to draw a line with Xiao Xun in order to avoid annoying the grandfather of the world.
"Little girl An Shizhi painting has seen her concubine."
An Zhihua painted a good fortune, saluted Nangong with a smile, and hesitated in his heart: Do you want to suppress the girl Xiao to please the concubine?
"Painting cousin is free."
Nangong Yu raised his hand with a smile, and then praised An Zhihua for his politeness, gentleness and demure, and pulled off a gold inlaid jewelry bracelet from his wrist. Meeting ceremony.
An Zhihua took both hands and directly put it on his wrist. He smiled and thanked him.
Followed by, other family members in the pavilion also came to greet Nangong.
When all the family members gathered around Nangong Yu again and took their seats one by one, it was already a tea, and the ladies and girls greeted each other with their acquaintances.
"Girl Xiao." Chang Huanwei came forward with a smile and greeted Xiao Yan, not even noticing that Madam Chang behind her was a little stiff.
In the past, Mrs. Chang hoped that her daughter would go a lot with Xiao Yue, and she was reluctant to be so reluctant, but now Xiao Xiao's position in the palace is so delicate and embarrassing that her daughter has to run into it regardless.
However, when thinking of Xiao Huan's maintenance of Chang Huanwei during spring hunting, Madam Chang was a little hesitant.
He ’s not a poor and wealthy person. If it ’s because of Xiao Xuan ’s disappointment, he will turn his face and do n’t recognize people. Would it upset the grandfather?
Mrs. Chang was immersed in the entangled emotions alone. Chang Huanwei had already sat down beside Xiao Yan. After a while, the two of them talked about you with me.
Regarding the thoughts of these female relatives around him, how did Nangong Ai not know, but did not want to say more, too much, in some people's eyes, it is just to show. Moreover, she did not want to find a house for Xiao Yan who could only share prosperity and prosperity.
Life is so short and so long, who can guarantee that he can be smooth in his life!
Nan Gongxi smiled at Chang Huanwei for the first time, and for the first time left an impression on the girl Chang. This sister Chang Huaixi can be a person to exchange with, and it would be nice if her sister can have many close friends in the future.
Afterwards, the female relatives centered on Nangong Yu, and the cold-hearted guest set up, watching and being mellow. As for everyone's own thoughts, only they knew.
The crowd sat for a while, and An Zhihua smiled and proposed: "Sir concubine, it is rare that the little girl today has a chance to meet some of the girls present. Now there are still some time before the feast, and the guests have not yet arrived. Anyway, it is also It's boring. It's better for the little girl to play a little game with a few girls, and to be familiar with each other. If she thinks that the little girl's idea is good, can she appreciate it? "
She smiled brighter and brighter than the sun outside the pavilion, with a pair of lovely dimples exposed at the corners of her mouth, paired with that pretty face and **** eyes, which made her feel good at first glance.
An Zhihua said that the girls all talked to each other and the atmosphere suddenly became active.
Today's peony feast is inevitable because of the presence of the concubine. If you play a small game together, you can relax.
Nangong Nian did not intend to disappoint, and asked with a smile: "How do you want to play cousin?"
Seeing that Nangong Yan had no objection, An Zhihua continued to say with confidence: "Drumming and passing flowers. When the drum stopped, the hydrangea fell in whose hands, whoever would recite a poem, who would not have thought in the five breaths, Eliminated. "
At this moment, a lady aside said with a smile: "Second concubine, this idea is a good idea, anyway, it is boring for their girls to sit here with us, they might as well play for themselves."
"Yeah." Another lady echoed, then proposed, "Since it is a peony feast today, in my opinion, this verse should be based on the scene, it must be related to peony. What do you think, concubine? ? "
"Mrs. Yu has a good idea," Nangong said first. "As for this colorful head, if anyone wins, I will reward her with a set of three-color gems and red gold heads."
With the color head of Shizi Fei Shang, the girls on the side are more excited and chatteringly with their friends.
An Zhihua quickly instructed the girl to take the hydrangea.
Nangong Yan turned to look at Xiao Yan, and whispered, "Hello sister ..." Would you like to play together?
Xiao Shao shook her head. She has always been happy and quiet, so she likes piano, calligraphy and painting, but has no interest in games such as drumming, flower passing, and pot casting.
Nangong Ning brought Xiao Xun out to let her relax and appreciate the flowers, so don't get stuck in the palace all day, so Nangong Neng didn't plan to force her.
She smiled slightly at Xiao Yan and pointed at the flower gallery passage over there: "My sister, I watch the wisteria flowers in the flower gallery bloom so well. You might as well pick some and make some fresh tea, Isn't it appropriate? "Anyway, Xiao Yan didn't like being born, so let her play around.
Xiao Yan's eyes brightened, she remembered that Dasao told her that wisteria flowers are not only good-looking, but also can be used as medicine and edible for making wisteria cakes and purplish cake. The ground took a good turn.
She was about to respond, but listened to An Zhihua grabbing the front and laughed: "The concubine is thinking of going with me. I also prepared some purple cakes and wisteria flowers to drink. I will definitely try it later. "
Nangong shouted lightly.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan stood up, and Chang Huanwei beside her said with great interest: "Girl Xiao, let me go with you!"
The two girls departed hand in hand, one blue and one green back, slender, and looked like sisters.
An Zhihua looked at Xiao Heng's back, his eyes flashed, and he became more and more sure of his previous guess.
This kind of thing just ordered a girl to do it, but she was asked to go to Xiao Xiao ... Sure enough, Shi Zifei looked good to Xiao Xiao, but she was just doing superficial work.
I'm afraid Shi Zi brought the Xiao Xiao girl here, the biggest purpose is to intentionally mean and humiliate it.
She half-hook her eyes, covering the strange colors in them.
After a while, the girls in Anfu successively put on wisteria cakes and purple cakes.
The husbands were tasting the cakes, and the two girls in blue and purple dresses hurriedly took the instruments and hydrangeas to be used for drumming and flower passing.
Although the game is called "Drumming and Passing Flowers", these famous families often use other musical instruments to replace the drums, such as the piano, the flute, and the serpent, for example, the pipa chosen by Anzhi Painting today.
However, what attracted everyone's attention was not the pipa, but the big red hydrangea in the hands of another little girl.
This is a hydrangea, in fact, it is a huge red silk flower. A hollow golden silk ball is set on the outside of the silk flower. The golden silk ball is really delicate. The golden silk outlines the flower-shaped pattern, and the ruby is inlaid in the flower core. And the rubies are wrapped in gold **** with small fingers as big as fingers. The craftsmanship is incredibly delicate and complicated. Obviously it is from the hands of famous craftsmen, and it is very valuable!
When the girls saw the hydrangea, they couldn't help but look around. A girl in a purple dress took it in her hand and looked at it, and said eagerly, "Girl San An, where are you making the golden balls? I also want to Ask someone to make one. "
An Zhihua smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and said with a smile on his mouth, "This is what my father ordered me to bring back from overseas. Dayu can't buy it."
Everyone knows that Anjia is engaged in maritime trade, and it is no wonder that such rare and precious things can be obtained.
Those girls know that this golden ball is unique in southern Xinjiang and even in Dayu. They are even more envious. They take a good look at the play in their hands, and praise the delicateness of the hydrangea for a while, and the elegance of the three girls for a while .
After An Zhihua put on a smile, she greeted several girls to play under the flower shed.
The girls have rounded up a dozen or so pear-tree chairs in a large circle according to the number of girls, and the girls are glowing with youthful looks, like birds in cages.
For a while, the atmosphere was very lively, and all the ladies in the gazebo looked at the direction of the flower shed, smiling and smiling.
Zhou Roujia sat on the left hand side of Nangong Yu, and smiled, "Da'er, this wisteria cake is well made. Although it's a little bit sweeter, it's just perfect with this Pu'er."
Zhou Roujia looked at the hot tea in the Nangong tea cup and had only half of it. She hurriedly ordered the girl to add tea to her and gave a small dish of wisteria cake to Nangong tea.
An Zhihua, who is not far from the flower shed, seems to be talking to a pink girl next to her, but in fact has been paying attention to the movement of Nangong Yu, seeing Zhou Ruojia whispering with Nangong Yu for a while, and attentively busy After he was busy, An Zhihua was disdainful of Zhou Roujia, and at the same time he felt relieved.
Just see what kind of person Shi Zifei is. I was afraid that the other party would not show the mountains and the water, so I didn't know how to shoot.
An Zhihua had an idea in her heart. When she saw the girls sitting down one by one, she gave a command to the girl, and then started to drum and pass flowers.
"Hmm ..."
When the powerful pipa sound sounded, the hydrangea was thrown from An Zhihua's hand, and fell into the hands of the **** the right hand side. The **** the right side thought that she was the second, and was not nervous. The hydrangea was intended to be passed to the next girl. Who knew that the hydrangea had not been released, and the pipa sound stopped.
Several girls and ladies were a bit surprised, and Azhi painting smiled, compared with the lower right hand and reminded playfully: "Sister Yu, five breaths." Between words, five slim fingers have been put away There was one and it became four.
The other girl was just a little surprised, and she quickly reacted, saying casually that everyone was talking about the poem: "Only the peony is the true color."
The more the beginning of the game is simpler, the later it gets, most of the verses have been recited, and then the more tests will be made.
After the girl Yu had read the poem, the sound of the pipa sounded again, and the golden and red hydrangea fluttered together among the girls' hands ...
From time to time, the girls read the poems such as "Who doesn't love peony", "Peerless peony, Zhongfang only peony", "Red puff pastry peony" and so on. There are also girls who can only be out of the game because of the rush .
From time to time, the girls removed the empty chairs. After a scent of incense, there were only nine chairs left under the flower shed, that is, nine girls, including An Zhihua.
When the game reaches this point, most of the girls' peony poems have been read by other girls. Although they have not reached the point where no poems are available, other girls must be wary of saying the poems they have prepared, Even though this is only a small game, before you know it, the atmosphere can't help but get a little nervous.
After the girl Yu reads "Ya calls the flower the first crown, and the elderly take the break of spring", the pipa sounds again ...
At this time, Xiao Yan and Chang Huanwei, who had picked a basket of wisteria flowers, came back with a smile. In the flower gallery, looking at the lake, smelling the flowers, and picking wisteria, it really made people relax. Chang Huanwei also made an appointment for Xiao Yan to go to Huanxi Pavilion to appreciate paintings and taste.
The two girls joked and walked along the flower gallery towards this side.
An Zhihua's eyes quickly glanced at Xiao Yan, his eyes flickered, and then he quickly made a gesture. The girl who played the pipa immediately understood it, and at the moment when the hydrangea fell into the hands of An Zhihua, she suddenly held the pipa string. .
"clang--"
An Zhihua whispered nervously, the hydrangea in her hand came out, slipped in the air, and fell to the ground, and then rolled towards Xiao Yuan and Chang Huanwei, and rolled straight to the distance Xiao One or two feet away ...
An Zhihua stood up, stroking her skirt, and blessing Xiao Xiaofu. She spit out her tongue and smiled cheerfully, "Girl Xiao, I just slipped my hand just now. Can you trouble me to pick it up? "
An Zhihua was playful and casual, as if he had just asked Xiao Ye to help, but the husbands and presents were not fools. For a moment, I heard provocations from the words of An Zhihua taste.
Is n’t there a girl in Anfu here? An Zhihua had to let Xiao Ao ’s grand daughter-in-law to bend over to pick up hydrangea for her. Is n’t that deliberately insulting the other party?
It seems that the three girls who lived in the house looked lively, but in fact they were not fuel-efficient lamps.
However, most of the ladies are also waiting for a good show, or take a tea cup, or eat a snack, or pretend to enjoy the flowers. They all want to see what attitude Shi Shifei treats Xiao Yan, and Mrs. Yao and Tian Da Madams, they know a little about Nangong's life. They know that Shi Zifei's temperament is by no means a person who has fallen into ruins. An Zhihua's move may have the intention to please Shi Zifei.
Xiao Yan looked at An Zhihua coldly, his expression remained unchanged, without anger or shame.
She is no longer the lonely "Xiao Yan" who enjoys herself. Of course, she also realizes some ridicule, apathy, and even a little maliciousness hidden in the eyes around her.
An Zhihua and Xiao Yan looked at each other with four eyes, and smiled brighter and brighter. The fifteen-year-old girl only needed a smile and makeup, which was more dazzling than those precious jewelry clothes.
At this moment, time seemed to stagnate for a moment, and there was silence all around, as if the wind was still.
It's so deceiving! Chang Huanwei frowned slightly and stepped forward halfway, but was pressed by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's eyes moved away from An Zhihua, and he looked towards Nangong in the gazebo.
Although Xiao Yan didn't care about making a home, after all, the home was a brother's relative ...
Nangong Ai smiled at Xiao Ai.
Xiao Min had the bottom of his mind instantly.
An Zhihua also looked at Nangong Yu with Xiao Yan's gaze. Naturally, she saw Nangong Yu's subtle expressions, but thought that Shi Zifei praised her, and she was more proud of her.
At this moment, Xiao Yan moved.
An Zhihua's mouth smiled deeper, waiting for Xiao Min to lean over to pick up the ball, but did not want Xiao Min to step directly on the hydrangea.
"Cracker—"
The hollow witch ball is as delicate as a tender flower, and it ca n’t afford to toss at all. Xiao Xun's casual kick went down, and the wand ball was instantly trampled down. Now, only the few big rubies are still shining in the sun.
The surroundings quieted again, and everyone could see that this was Xiao Yan's counterattack. It was simple and rude, with a slight contempt, as if talking to An Zhihua, as your identity, it was not worthy of me and your tongue!
