Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 291 Poetry Club (2)
As expected, the Wen family only loves peonies, and today she is wearing a Shu brocade jacket with engraved gold silk button pattern and a pleated satin skirt with dark flowers, with a beautiful bow tied in blue silk Ruan Yanluo around her waist, her black hair is lightly Rolled up, a peony nobile inlaid with sapphires was inserted obliquely. This dress does not look gorgeous, but rather low-key and elegant. Wen's is probably the first one with a different charm.

"Miss Li, the Minister's Mansion is very lively today. When we came here, we saw many carriages driving there. Be active, maybe you can meet some little sisters."

Pomegranate came to participate in the poetry meeting as she wished, her eyes were full of excitement, and she talked more than usual. After going back yesterday, she opened her purse and saw Qingli's reward. The tourmaline on the earrings was not big, but why It is also worth more than a dozen taels of silver, and there are four pairs in one move. She and Xiancao are two pairs each, which is definitely a big deal.

"Xiao Li, don't be afraid when you enter the servant's mansion. Although Miss Ruan is talented and a bit arrogant, she is still a nice person and takes good care of you. When the time comes, other ladies come to talk to you, so don't hold back. , Let’s have a good time in the mansion too.”

Wen Shi nodded when he heard Shiliu's words, looking at Qingli's attire is really pleasing, originally he wanted his son Chunyu Wen to come with him this time, but who knew that he would send someone to the front yard early in the morning to ask people to know that he didn't have any go home.

"Aunt Wen, I'm still a little nervous."

Qing Li pretended to hold the handkerchief tightly, but actually she almost burst out laughing in her heart, she will be able to watch the excitement when she arrives at the Minister's Mansion in a while, those official ladies are fine, just say a few more words if they look pleasing to the eye, and just sit still if they don't pleasing to the eye Well, anyway, she doesn't need anywhere to ask for help now, and she doesn't need to hug someone's thigh.

Qingli was still very curious about the poetry meeting. Du Juan introduced it earlier, and what he said was very general. Since men and women are divided into pieces, what is the use of those sons? The young master will also come with his maid, and pay close attention to the poetry meeting. When the poetry meeting is over, you can meet him in the back garden of the Minister's Mansion. Now the defense of men and women in the capital is not as strict as in the previous dynasty. Many young ladies can propose marriage to any talented person they like. Of course, the premise is to ensure that they will not be rejected. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. Qingli remembers that Miss Shan of the Duke's Mansion was rejected because she pursued the strange thief Yizhimei. , It was very difficult to get off the stage.

The residence of the Ruan family is not on the busiest street, and it is still some distance away from the residence of the fourth uncle. At first, Qing Li didn't understand why the powerful servant's residence would choose such a place. There are five yards, and it occupies an entire street.

The carriage entered from the main gate to the second gate, and a dozen large and small gorgeous carriages were already parked at the second gate. After seeing the sign of the General's Mansion on the carriage, a woman stepped forward quickly, nodded and said, "Madam, You came just in time, Mrs. Liu just went in, and she was still thinking about you."

"That's daring."

As Wen said, she asked the servant girl to lead the way. She took Qingli's hand and walked behind. After walking a few steps, she saw a group of people in front stop. The leader was a lady in her thirties, dressed in Qing Li still saw the fine wrinkles on her face from under the thick layer of powder.

"I was still talking about it just now, see that I came a step earlier than you."

The lady had a hearty laugh and her words were informal. Qing Li noticed that it was the two young ladies beside her. One of them had met once, and she was looking forward to today's protagonist, Shui, one of the four beauties in the capital. Miss Lingli is still wearing such a flamboyant red dress, the usual whip is wrapped around her waist to make a belt, and a piece of ruby ​​is also attached to it, Shui Lingli is accompanied by a younger lady, Wearing a pale pink dress, she was looking at Qingli curiously.

"So, I took our Xiaoli and walked a few steps quickly to catch up."

Qingli knew that the hearty lady in front was Mrs. Liu of the Ministry of Justice, that is, Shui Lingli's mother, and had a good relationship with Aunt Wen.

"Xiao Li, this is Mrs. Liu, and the two girls with you are Miss Shui Family, Ling Huan, you always complain that you don't have a playmate, this time Aunt Wen will find one for you."

"Hello, Mrs. Liu, and the two sisters."

Qingli bowed separately according to Mammy Yu's teaching, and asked Liu to hold her back, "My good boy, your Aunt Wen and I are handkerchiefs, so you can call me Auntie too."

Qingli changed her words, and got the meeting gift from Mrs. Liu, which should be a jade pendant. She thanked her and handed it to Nanny Yu to help put it away.

Shui Lingli is almost at the age of getting married, she has no interest in the little girl, and she hasn't said a few words to Qingli, but Shui Linghuan is very happy, her birthday is a few months older than Qingli, so Qingli must call her She greeted her elder sister, she is Shui Lingli's cousin, and her father is the third-rank chief envoy, but she grew up in Kyoto since she was a child, and she is very familiar with this place. When she learned that Qingli came from the north, she kept going pestering Qingli about the customs and customs over there.

"Qingli, you said that the heavy snow won't freeze people to death? Kyoto is also very cold in winter. I always wear a thick jacket and a fox fur cloak."

Shui Linghuan pulled Qingli, the two little girls chattered together, Qingli would reply from time to time, although Fengyang City is cold, the people feel simple and honest, and although Kyoto is good, people are more thoughtful.

"This is Sister Li, you are welcome."

Ruan Ranran and her maid were settling down the guests in the back garden. Seeing Qingli and Shui Linghuan together, she said with a sharp smile, "Linghuan, don't you always dislike poetry meetings? Why are you here this time?" gone?"

"That's because I heard that the young master of the Yun family will come. I was at the Three Flowers in March last year, and I only saw his profile."

Shui Linghuan is a bit naive and doesn't hide his thoughts at all. Among the four beauties and four young masters in the capital, the young master of the Yun family is the most mysterious. He usually keeps a low profile and travels around Dazhou all year round, taking care of business. So hard to see.

"That's it, then you really came to the right place. Mr. Yun accepted the post and promised to come."

Ruan Ranran arranged for Qingli and Shui Linghuan to sit in the pavilion by the lake and enjoy the flowers. There were also two girls of the same age there, both of whom were the beloved daughters of the two adults of the Imperial Academy.

"It's so boring!"

Shui Linghuan doesn't like poetry and songs, so she doesn't have a good look at the two ladies who talk about poetry. She thinks that Qingli doesn't like studying, so she has a lot to say to her.

"Ling Huan, is there still no clue about your cousin's marriage to Doctor Bai?"

When Qingli met the real master, she inquired about gossip without any trace, watching the fun was the main purpose of today, not to make friends with anyone.
