The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 244 Tengu eats the sun and goes to the banquet
Chapter 244 Tengu eats the sun and goes to the banquet
A few months ago, Yun Xi asked the embroiderer in the mansion to make several clothes for traveling.Four months after giving birth to Zhuzhu, Yun Xi finally reduced her waistline to the figure before she was pregnant. As for her breasts, at least one size more. After wearing a skirt and a belt, she looked even more slender and her breasts were bulging of.
The clothes Yun Xi usually wears prefer pomegranate skirts, Liuxian skirts, Yuehua skirts, etc., causing the people below to imitate her, and many people like to imitate her.
Every time she goes out to a banquet, Yun Xi can always see Yishui's Yuehua dress, she is tired of seeing it, and with the recent free time, Yun Xi simply starts to fiddle with new clothes.It is said to be new clothes, but in fact it is just taking out various ancient clothes from the memory of the previous life.
Yun Xi watched with satisfaction as Duo Duo was wearing a chest-length skirt. The skirt was bright pink, and the skirt above was moon-white embroidered orchid grass.Not only does it look elegant, but it also shows the lively and cuteness of a girl.This kind of chest-length skirt has never appeared in this world, and Duoduo is especially suitable for wearing it, and she can also show off a little when she wants to come.
Yun Yao was wearing a flower cage skirt. The flower cage skirt itself was made of light, soft and transparent monofilament, but Yun Xi felt that it would look better if it was made of soft smoke, so she directly took the silver-red soft smoke in the warehouse. Luo made flower cage skirts for Yunyao.The flower cage skirt itself is not worn directly, but is covered outside the inner group, and a picture of butterfly and flower is embroidered on it. When walking, it seems that a butterfly is about to flutter its wings from the petals at any time.
Generally speaking, although soft cigarettes look good, noble families generally don't directly make them into clothes, thinking that directly upper body is too frivolous.After Yun Xi made it into a flower cage skirt, it looked just right, after all, it was only covered on the outside, and there was an inner skirt inside.The upper back looks lively and graceful, very suitable for Yunyao.
Yun Yao happily changed into a skirt, stroked the skirt with a happy expression on her face.
As for Yun Xi herself, she made two skirts, one is a ringing bell skirt, with bells adorning the corners of the ringing skirt, and the bells ring when she walks around.It's just that if you wear this skirt to a banquet, it's too high-profile, and it's suspected of overwhelming the guests.So even though Yun Xi likes it, after trying it on, she asks Yin Dan to put it away, and put it on when she serves as the hostess for a banquet.
The other dress is the three-legged skirt that she plans to wear to the banquet at that time. The color Yun Xi dyed with tulips is bright and bright, and it also has a faint fragrance of tulips. Wearing it on her body not only looks elegant and luxurious, but also It also looks light and agile.
Yun Xi tried on the clothes, and they were very appropriate, and she matched the matching jewelry, so she asked them to put them away.When going to a banquet, Yun Xi now habitually brings an extra dress to avoid accidents.So when she asks people to make skirts, they are basically in duplicate, but there are differences in details, such as adding pipa sleeves and buttons.
Yun Xi naturally did not forget her younger sister Yu Rong, even if Yu Rong could not attend the banquet, she still made Yu Rong a double-breasted skirt and a flower cage skirt.
Yu Rong liked it very much, and specially made some small snacks that she made herself.She kept her filial piety at home, and she was idle when she was idle, so she simply learned cooking.After Yun Xi heard about it, she gave her a cook from the mansion to teach her a few dishes.Now Yurong has learned to be decent, and every time she successfully cooks delicious food, she will always send some over.
She also made custard for Zhuzhu, but it was a pity that the baby had to wait half a year before eating custard, and there was no egg white, so she had to decline her kindness.
After trying on the clothes, Yun Xi carried Zhu Zhu over.At this time, Zhuzhu was already able to turn over, and Yun Xi also intended to train her daughter's ability to turn over. On weekdays, she likes to turn her daughter back after she finally turned over.
Yurong came here often, and Zhuzhu was no stranger to her, she just laughed at everyone.
Yurong couldn't help holding Zhuzhu in her lap, and said: "Our Zhuzhu is so cute, unlike my cousin's little nephew who always cries."
Yun Xi said: "This child is heartless again." But a child with a big heart should live happily.
Yun Yao heard Yun Xi's complaints, which seemed to be true and false, and couldn't help but said: "I think Zhuzhu is very good like this, she is so pleasing, everyone likes her."
Yun Xi shook her head, the people around her loved Zhuzhu more than the other, and Yun Shen was more of a daughter-in-law, and she didn't get angry when Zhuzhu grabbed her hair, and she laughed like a fool.Yun Xi felt that in order to prevent Zhuzhu from being spoiled by everyone, she was afraid that she would have to play a bad face in the future.
As soon as she thought this way, Zhuzhu shook the pearl on her head and was about to stuff it into her mouth. Yun Xi quickly picked up the pearl from her hand, lest the girl really put it in her mouth.She had discovered earlier that Zhuzhu likes shiny things, and she didn't know if all children were like this.
Zhuzhu was smiling happily while holding the pearl, but when it was taken away suddenly, she flattened her mouth, looking like she was about to cry or not.
Yun Xi had no choice but to pick her up and gently coax her.In the mother's familiar embrace, plus the practice of turning over for a while earlier, which took a lot of energy, Zhuzhu soon became sleepy and closed her eyes.
After Yun Xi succeeded in coaxing her to sleep, she gently put her in the cradle and asked the nanny to take good care of her.
……
Yun Xi lived a peaceful and peaceful life. Although she received many invitations after she became a filial piety, Yun Xi basically refused them all.She wondered if she should go to the Zhuangzi to take a rest after attending the third prince's Zhou banquet, so as not to be disturbed often.
After she told Chu Xiyuan the "prophecy" earlier, she felt nothing at all. She originally thought that Chu Xiyuan would silently borrow the Heavenly Dog's eclipse to see if the matter was true or not.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiyuan announced this matter directly in the court on July 28.Tell everyone that the Tiangou eclipse will occur in the morning of August [-]st, and bluntly say that this is the oracle Honggu, the leader of the White Clothes Sect, and died after that because of leaking the secret.
The ministers were dubious about this at first, but the officials of the Qin Tianjian did not observe this.Originally they wanted to say that Hong Gu was bewitching the crowd, but when they heard that Hong Gu died, and it was because of leaking the secret, they immediately swallowed all their words.
In addition, it will be the first day of August in three more days, so whether it is true or not will be revealed soon.
What happened in the early dynasty spread quickly to the imperial city, and within a day, it was spread throughout the streets and alleys. People talked about it, some believed it, and some didn't believe it.After all, the last time I saw a Tengu eclipse was probably more than 50 years ago.
The Tiangou eclipse is generally regarded as a bad omen, it is a punishment from the heavens to the court, and it means that the king is not righteous.In the past, even when the dog eclipsed the sun and the moon, the prime minister had to resign, and the emperor had to write a letter of guilt.
But it's different now. God specially told Chu Xiyuan through Honggu's mouth. It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with the emperor Chu Xiyuan.
After thinking about it, Yun Xi knew Chu Xiyuan's intention, on the one hand, it was to avoid rumor confusion after the solar eclipse.On the other hand, it is to lay the groundwork for the end of the year. With the prophecy of the solar eclipse ahead, I want to wait until he tells everyone that Honggu also "predicted" snowstorms and floods, so that the common people can believe it immediately, and they will not be half-believed.
This is probably the first time that everyone is looking forward to a solar eclipse.It's a pity that Da Chu couldn't see clearly enough. The geographical location of Nanling Capital is the best place to watch the solar eclipse.But Yun Xi would go to Nanling specially to see this, she is not stupid.
Although such a total solar eclipse is indeed unlikely.
When it was the first day of August, Yun Xi asked several servants to look at the sun in turn, and when they found a solar eclipse, they would remind everyone.Because the sun is covered by clouds, looking directly at the sun will not be too dazzling, and several people will take turns watching it so as not to damage their eyes.
In fact, people in the entire capital were doing the same thing. The ordinary people who were eager to lower their heads did not do their work for a while, but looked up at the sun, with expectant expressions on their faces.This is probably the first time in my life that a solar eclipse has been so anticipated.
Yun Xi was teasing Zhuzhu in the room. Zhuzhu was wearing a panda-shaped dress that she specially sewed for her, just a word cute.
A certain unscrupulous mother purposely took Zhuzhu's favorite jewelry, dangled it in front of her, and took it back when Zhuzhu was about to catch it.Zhuzhu made a babbling sound of unknown meaning, as if protesting to her.
Yin Dan was speechless watching from the side: Thanks to the little princess's good temper, she wouldn't get angry no matter how she played with her. If it were any other child, she would start crying at this moment.
But Yun Xi dared to tease her because she knew her daughter's temperament.
One after another, the beating of gongs sounded suddenly, accompanied by exclamations of exclamation.
Afraid that her daughter would be frightened by the sound, Yun Xi quickly covered her daughter's ears with her hands.On the contrary, Zhuzhu smiled so much that she could see her little baby teeth, dancing with hands and feet, and made a sound that only she could understand.
have to!Her daughter has been bold since she was a child.
At this time, the servants of the mansion also rushed over, and respectfully said: "Madam, it is indeed a solar eclipse! Although it is covered by clouds a lot, it can be seen that the sun was indeed eaten by a tengu!" His voice Inevitably with excitement.
Yun Xi wanted to put Zhuzhu on the bed, let someone guard it, and go outside to have a look by herself.But Zhuzhu held her sleeve with her little hand, and looked at her eagerly.No one can resist for more than ten seconds under those clear and innocent eyes.
Yun Xi felt distressed immediately, so she went out with Zhuzhu in her arms. Anyway, she was watching under the eaves, so she wouldn't be exposed to the sun.
After leaving the house, the sound of gongs and drums became even louder... Apparently, the common people outside were beating gongs and drums on the street, and the loud sound merged into an ocean.
Yun Xi's hand was still on Zhuzhu's ear, so as not to frighten her precious daughter by the too loud sound.
She raised her head and looked to the sky.
A small part of the sun is covered by the moon, as if a small part of a golden pie has been eaten by someone, and the more places are covered by the moon, the smaller it becomes.Although the dark clouds covered part of it, if you observe carefully, you can still see this process.
In the end, the whole sun was completely covered by the moon, but there was a faint circle of light like white jade around it.
Yun Xi felt that the original beating of the gong seemed to have stopped, and it seemed that everyone was appreciating the scene.Even the best painters can't capture the dynamic beauty of nature.
The breeze blew gently, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
She blinked, the moon slowly moved away from the sun, the sun radiated dazzling light again, and the earth returned to its original light.The clouds that had originally blocked the sun quietly dissipated at some point.
The eclipse is over.
Yun Xi heard cheers coming from outside the house, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
With this solar eclipse, at least more people will believe in the snow disaster at the end of the year.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and returned to the room with Zhuzhu in her arms.She intends to write this matter down, let everyone in Dachu know, and help Honggu to make a name for herself. With the halo of "God Envoy", Honggu will be more accepted by everyone.In addition, she herself is dead, no matter how famous she is, she will not arouse Chu Xiyuan's fear.
Thinking of the figure who never turned back to avenge the Lord and pave the way for the congregation, Yun Xi felt a little melancholy, and then this sadness quickly turned into a firm belief.
She must not let Honggu die in vain.
Perhaps because of the feeling in her heart, Yun Xi's writing and thinking flowed like a spring, and this prose unconsciously used some memorable lines from her previous life.After she put down her pen, Yun Xi read it again and felt that she had a rare literary talent.
After finishing writing, she checked it several times, caught some bugs, revised a few sentences, and then re-written it before sending it to the printing factory.
The impact of the solar eclipse was greater than she had imagined, causing quite a stir.For three whole days, the common people were discussing this matter.Because of the solar eclipse, Honggu's reputation suddenly increased. Originally, she was whitewashed a lot because of the pedal spinning wheel, but now many ordinary people have revered her, and even the white-clothed teacher stood up. A lot of light.
If the White Clothes Cult is really composed of ruthless congregants, how could the gods appear above their leader and remind people through her mouth.
At least now, even if Mu Tongtong and the others accidentally reveal their identities in front of others, they won't be given strange looks.
After at least seven or eight years passed, the enthusiasm for this discussion subsided a little.
……
On the seventh day of August, General Yun Xi also invited Feng Dongxiang who was still in the Yun Mansion.Feng Dongxiang can also be regarded as a relative of the Yun family, Yun Xi can't treat each other more favorably, and only bring her sisters from her natal family, but not her husband's family.
She had asked someone to prepare several styles of clothes and jewelry for Feng Dongxiang before, and asked her to choose two sets she liked.
Feng Dongxiang chose Yuehua skirt, she seems to have a special liking for Yuehua skirt.Compared with Yun Xi's two younger sisters, each with their own merits, Feng Dongxiang's appearance is really ordinary. Even if she is dressed in brocade and jade belts, and her hair is full of emerald jewels, it still pales in comparison.
And wearing too many jewels and emeralds, people only remember the gorgeous jewelry, and have no impression of her at all.
Feng Dongxiang looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes dimmed a bit.A person's appearance is innate, no matter how hard she tries, she still has this face that is easy to forget.Even if she worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and behaved well, at most she would have a little more temperament.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "I'll put on your makeup for you."
Feng Dongxiang cannot be completely reduced to a foil for Yunyao and Duoduo.
Feng Dongxiang shook her head, "No need, I can do it like this." She doesn't believe that the world only pays attention to her appearance, as long as she shows her beautiful side, everyone will be able to see her good side sooner or later.
Yun Xi looked at Feng Dongxiang's face seriously, thoughtfully, but speaking of it, Feng Dongxiang has a face that is very suitable for makeup.
She pinched Feng Dongxiang's cheek lightly with her fingers, and rubbed it - this action made Feng Dongxiang's face heat up continuously, her face flushed, and her blushing appearance added a bit of beauty to her.
Yun Xi nodded, "I'll give you some makeup." Feng Dongxiang's facial features were slightly flatter, which suits that kind of heavy makeup.
Yun Xi usually puts on makeup for people, basically it's light makeup, sometimes it's nude makeup with no trace of makeup visible.Now you can try it on Feng Dongxiang's face.
She pulled Feng Dongxiang to the front of the mirror, first washed her face thoroughly with soap, and before putting on makeup, she even patted a little rose water as a toner from her previous life, and then applied a delicate face cream.
After the basic skin care work was done, she started to put on makeup in an orderly manner.
Feng Dongxiang's eyes are relatively small, which tends to give people a feeling of lack of energy.Yun Xi used a paintbrush to draw eyeliner on her eyes, which made her eyes look bigger, and she became more energetic all of a sudden.In view of the limited materials, she can only draw a simplified version of smoky makeup, which gives people a charming but not overly ostentatious feeling.
The makeup on the face is girly, which neutralizes the mature feeling brought by the smoky makeup.
After finishing the whole makeup, Yun Xi put down the brush with satisfaction.No wonder some people say that makeup is equivalent to plastic surgery. The Feng Dongxiang who appeared in front of her can be described as a completely different person. She is cute with a touch of charm, and her eyes have a kind of blurred charm. It is difficult to connect her with the previous one. Together.
"It's amazing!" Yun Yao looked dumbfounded.This is even more exaggerated than Yirong!If you don't change your face, you can't be so good-looking.
Feng Dongxiang was originally staying in front of the mirror, until Yunyao's voice woke her up, and she gently stroked her cheek in disbelief.
Yun Xi is still a bit regretful, there are still a few tools, so it is not satisfactory.
Feng Dongxiang was already very satisfied, she had never looked so good-looking.Her eyes were slightly red, "Thank you." There is no girl who does not wish to be more beautiful.
Yun Xi thought for a while, she was considered free recently.The aristocratic daughters of this era will also teach some ladies' grooming.
Yun Xi clenched her fist with her right hand and lightly tapped her left palm, "After the banquet comes back, I'll teach you some makeup in the next month." By that time, she will definitely not miss Yu Rong's existence.
The three girls nodded hurriedly.
Yun Xi asked the subordinates to make poplar nectar, and each of them ate a bowl to fill their stomachs before preparing to set off.Before leaving, there was a little episode.
Zhuzhu, who was asleep, suddenly woke up, and she insisted on Yun Xi's hug, but the others would cry while hugging her.
With so many people at the banquet, Yun Xi was really worried about bringing her daughter there.On weekdays, Zhuzhu has a very good temper, and everyone hugs her with a sweet smile. Everyone said that they have never seen such an easy-to-carry child.But tonight it was rare to get into a temper tantrum.
When she was crying, she didn't cry like other children, she cried softly like a cat, crying until Yun Xi's heart was crumpled into a ball, and she almost told her not to go.
Later, she had no choice but to sing a lullaby with Zhuzhu in her arms.Yun Xi's singing ability is so-so, but she can't be tone deaf.
Contrary to her expectation, after she sang it several times, Zhuzhu finally fell asleep again, with a pure and innocent sleeping face.
Only then did Yun Xi breathe a sigh of relief, and after telling them to take care of Zhuzhu, she turned around and got into the carriage.
She couldn't help but said, "What a little magic star."
Duoduo said in a soft voice: "Zhuzhu is like this occasionally, she is usually very good."
Yun Xi is just talking.A few people chatted and laughed, and arrived in front of the Third Prince's Mansion in two quarters of an hour. There were many gorgeous carriages parked in front of the door. I don't know how many people arrived earlier than them.
Yun Xi and the others got off the carriage. She, Yun Yao, and Duo Duo are all rare beauties. Feng Dongxiang also has a special style after her skillful makeup. The four of them stand together, not to mention how attractive they are. The costumes of several people were carefully designed by Yun Xi.
Along the way, many people greeted her.Although Yun Xi basically didn't know these people, she still nodded in greeting with a faint smile on her lips.Li Qiu was next to her, dutifully introducing everyone's identities to her.
Suddenly Yun Xi heard an exclamation, accompanied by a few deliberately suppressed comments.
"I didn't expect him to come back to the capital."
"Yeah, there is another newcomer beside him."
"Oh, poor Mrs. Ming was so worried about him, she shed so many tears behind her back."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows when she heard this—these people are so powerful, they even know if they are crying behind their backs,
She did know who these women were talking about.It was Ming Zuoting, the son of Xuan Ping Hou.Speaking of it, Xuan Ping Hou is also a rare "wife-management" in Da Chu. He has a gentle and kind personality since he was a child. He is good at painting landscapes and does not like being an official.When he was young, after obtaining the honor of juren, he completely let go of his hands and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.When he was weak, he happened to meet Mrs. Ming, and despite all obstacles, he married Mrs. Ming. The two have been married for more than 20 years, and they have never been married.
Someone once invited Ming Shaotang, Marquis of Xuanping, to go to the place of fireworks, but Ming Shaotang waved his hand and said that there was a Hedong lion at home, so he dared not set foot there.From then on, everyone knew about the reputation of fear of guilt.
However, Yun Xi felt that the two of them were clearly one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. If Marquis Xuan Ping really wanted to take a concubine, no matter how tough Mrs. Ming was, she would not be able to stop her.
Marquis Xuan Ping and Mrs. Ming have a son and a daughter. The eldest son Ming Zuoting is both civil and military, handsome and handsome, but he has a broken sleeve.
Yun Xi's gaze could not help falling on Ming Zuoting. He was dressed in a wide soap-colored robe, with a long body and a face like a crown jade.Beside him was a young servant who was even more beautiful than a girl... No, it's not so much a young servant as a young servant.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, not intending to comment on his sexual orientation.This shows that even if Zuo Ting cut off his sleeves, he would do so frankly, and it was never heard that he harmed any girl.It's not like some people who obviously have broken sleeves, but for the sake of the so-called family inheritance, they still marry a girl and go back to use it as a child-bearing tool.
Ming Zuoting turned his head just in time, and glanced at them with peach blossom eyes, the women who were gossiping before immediately fell silent.I don't know if it's Yun Xi's overheartedness, but she always feels that Ming Zuoting seems to stay in their direction for a while.
The maids in the Third Prince's Mansion led them into the backyard.The weekly banquet was arranged in the evening, but Yun Xi and the others had already arrived in the morning.
Throughout the whole day, she has to cheer up and chat with others, but this itself is also a good time for her own girls to show up, so many women are surrounded by beautifully dressed girls, and everyone uses their biggest Their unique abilities highlight their own advantages, some are as bright as a peony, and some are as quiet as an orchid.
"Yun Xi, you're here too." A familiar clear female voice sounded.
Yun Xi turned her head and saw Yan Ling Yanyan walking towards her with a smile, wearing a phoenix tail skirt.
Yun Xi scanned around, and when she came over, she chuckled, "You've lost a lot of weight recently."
After hearing this, Yanling smiled, "I knew you would be able to see that I've lost weight. In the past few months, I've finally lost [-] pounds, which is lighter than before I was pregnant. Otherwise, I would not have lost weight like before. It’s embarrassing to go out.” Especially the waist, at that time it felt like it was all flesh.
Yan Ling lost weight in Yun Xi's shop.Speaking of which, Yun Xi's weight loss gym has not yet been formally built, but the personnel have been trained almost, so Yan Ling will be cheaper first.Moreover, her weight loss gym basically uses healthy and moderate exercise instead of dieting to lose weight, so as to avoid rebound to the greatest extent.
After Yan Ling turned her eyes around the few of them, she said with emotion: "I don't know what's going on in your head, but you can always design such beautiful clothes."
Then he praised the three girls again and again, Yunyao and Duoduo were alright, they were used to it long ago, but Feng Dongxiang, whose appearance was rarely praised, blushed with excitement.
A few people talked and laughed, and came to the garden in the backyard.Unexpectedly, it was not the third concubine who entertained the female relatives in the backyard, but Su Wan in a light purple dress.Yun Xi and Su Wan haven't seen each other for at least a year, but it feels like Su Wan hasn't changed at all.
She stood over there, entertaining the guests gently, with a graceful and slick attitude, standing next to Su Wan to help her seemed to be Nanny Gu, the nanny brought by the Third Prince from her natal home.The two cooperated very well, neither losing the royal air of the Third Prince's Mansion, but also making everyone present feel like a spring breeze.
Su Wan smiled softly, "It just so happens that the servants sent up some pots of chrysanthemums recently. Although they are not precious varieties, they are quite interesting. If you are interested, you can also appreciate them."
Others agreed one after another, and someone asked about the third concubine Yang Yeqing politely.
Su Wan still had a gentle smile, "The princess is not feeling well today, my concubine, thanks to the princess, I don't dislike her, so I will come forward to receive you temporarily."
In fact, the truth is that Xiao Shizi didn't know what he ate badly yesterday, so he suddenly vomited and had diarrhea.Yang Yeqing was distressed that her son would suffer at a young age, so she took care of him all night.Because she didn't want to appear in front of people with a haggard look, Yang Yeqing could only take a short nap to recharge her energy and investigate the tricks.
Naturally, it is difficult to say the reasons for these various reasons.
"I heard that side concubine Su was a well-known talented woman in the capital before she came out of the pavilion." A girl said crisply, looking at Su Wan with adoring eyes.
Su Wan just pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that she can read a few words, how can she be a talented woman."
While talking, several pots of chrysanthemums have been delivered, and each pot is a rare treasure of chrysanthemums, such as green clouds, red plums covered in snow, green clothes and red clothes, etc...
Compared with reciting poems and painting, Yun Xi is more interested in viewing flowers, admiring the moving beauty of these flowers with relish.
Su Wan asked people to take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so that some interested ladies could express their inspiration and leave poems.Many girls are eager to try, after all, this is a good opportunity to show their talents in front of others.Most of the invitations to get the third prince's mansion are either rich or expensive.
Yun Xi was not interested in this matter at all, and just sat beside her and drank tea.As for Yunyao, she saw a familiar friend and dragged Duoduo and Feng Dongxiang over.
After taking a sip of the tea, she smelled the faint scent of orchids in her nose, and Yun Xi raised her eyebrows—it turned out to be orchid tea.
"This is Yunwu Tea Bar, it's really good."
"Your Majesty gave the third prince several jars of tribute tea in the beginning of spring, which is the only honor among the princes."
Yun Xi's heart moved, and her eyes couldn't help falling on Su Wan.It seems that she is the only one who is orchid tea, and she knows that this special treatment is specially ordered by Su Wan.
Su Wan smiled at her, and the strangeness brought about by not seeing her for a long time seemed to be melted in this gaze.
Yun Xi sipped tea in a happy mood, watching those girls chirping and discussing whose poems were better, she felt a few years younger.Bah, bah, bah, no, she was already young!She's not even twenty yet!
This kind of idea of automatically adding age to yourself as soon as you get married is very dangerous.
An hour later, the final leader was also selected, and the leader was Ruan Wenshan, the daughter of the Northwest Governor.Speaking of Ruan Wenshan's family background, her father is the governor, one of her elder brothers is a promising major general, and the other is a household doctor.She herself is an old daughter of her father, so she can be called the apple of the eye of the Ruan family.It's just that this Ruan Wenshan has been weak since childhood, so she seldom appears in front of people.
Her appearance is also worthy of the evaluation of sinking fish and wild goose. She is as demure as a delicate flower like water, and her actions are like a weak willow supporting the wind, which is unique and romantic.Today, many girls have shown their housekeeping skills in order to become a blockbuster. Ruan Wenshan was still able to win the top spot, partly because of her family background, but it can be seen that her talent and learning have also been recognized by everyone.
Among the women who came here today, she was the one who performed the most brilliantly.
Yun Xi believed that after today, the daughter of the Ruan family would become famous in the capital.
Ruan Wenshan was praised by many people. She was neither humble nor overbearing, and she had the bearing that a lady should have. Many girls surrounded her, but they were overshadowed by her light and became her foil.
"Hey, are you really Feng Dongxiang? Why do I feel like you have changed your face?"
A somewhat sharp voice sounded from a distance, Yun Xi turned her head sharply because she heard Feng Dongxiang's name, and saw a woman in a big red pomegranate skirt and full of jewels frowning at Feng Dongxiang.
Yun Xi frowned slightly.
Li Qiu whispered in her ear: "That's Ruan Wenxiang, Ruan Wenshan's clan sister, and she seems to be at odds with Miss Cousin."
Yun Xi said: "Dongxiang is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to provoke people." Although Feng Dongxiang was a little cautious, he was generally not a bad person, and he kept his own place on weekdays.
Li Qiu said: "I'm not too sure about this." It's also impossible for her to inquire about every trivial matter.
Over there, Yunyao had already given Feng Dongxiang a head start. Although she and Feng Dongxiang had a mediocre relationship, they came out together, and she stood up to protect her shortcomings.Yun Yao said directly: "What's the matter? Dongxiang's facial features are not bad at first, and she can be a little beauty after a little care."
Ruan Wenxiang dared to hate Feng Dongxiang, but he didn't dare to directly offend Yunyao—no one in the capital knew that Yunyao was Yun Xi's favorite sister, she said, "I just think that girls of our age should regard nature as beauty, don't Wear heavy makeup all day long."
Yun Yao sneered, and said, "You wipe off the rouge on your face before you say this."
What qualifications do people who wear makeup themselves have to say about others?Ruan Wenxiang looks mediocre, but he is just jealous of Dongxiang becoming a little beauty after makeup.
Seeing that Yunyao could solve the problem alone, Yun Xi didn't go over to support them, and sat down leisurely to drink tea.
Ruan Wenshan smiled apologetically when she saw the clan sister making such a commotion, "I'll go over."
The girls around her understood and let Ruan Wenshan pass.Some of them complained to her.
"Wen Shan has such a good temper, she always cleans up the mess for Wen Xiang."
"Yeah, Wen Xiang is too smug. If she didn't have Wen Shan to lead her, how could she come here. But she still doesn't know how to behave, and she insists on causing trouble for Wen Shan."
"Yeah, Wen Shan is not in good health, so I have to worry about these things."
These girls seemed to have been conquered by Ruan Wenshan, and they all loved her there.
Ruan Wenshan walked up to Feng Dongxiang gracefully, and said in a sincere tone; "I'm really sorry, although my sister has a sharp mouth, she has no evil intentions."
A noble and beautiful girl like her apologized to Feng Dongxiang, Feng Dongxiang suddenly became a little flustered and stammered, "It's okay, it's okay."
Yun Yao squeezed Feng Dongxiang's hand, Feng Dongxiang remembered the teachings of the nuns in the mansion, took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled slightly, "It's okay." Her eyes fell on Ruan Wenxiang, not He gave a nail without being too hard, "It's just that Miss Ruan should pay more attention to her tongue in the future. If she meets someone with a sharp mouth like Miss Ruan, she may not be as easy-talking as I am."
Ruan Wenxiang didn't expect that she dared to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, and anger lit up in his heart, and he was about to make some remarks against this ugly monster.
Ruan Wenshan cast a warning look at the right time, Ruan Wenxiang forcibly held back what he wanted to say, and apologized politely, "I made a slip of the tongue before."
Ruan Wenshan showed a gratified expression, and everyone could hear the sincere joy in her words, "I am so happy to see that you two can shake hands and make peace."
Then he pulled his clan sister Ruan Wenxiang on the left and Feng Dongxiang on the right, leading them into the crowd, and she was always the focus of the crowd.
The other women saw this scene in their eyes, and looked at Ruan Wenshan with a little love in their eyes, thinking that Ruan Wenshan was really a rare and good girl.Good temperament, outstanding talent, peerless appearance, noble family background, I don't know what kind of family status can not humiliate such a wonderful person.
There are also some well-matched families, and there are also young wives in the family who try to bring up this topic.
Mrs. Ruan looked at her daughter with eyes full of love. Although her mouth was modest, everyone could see the pride on her face, "My Shan'er is still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years."
Yun Xi looked at Mrs. Ruan's complacent expression, but guessed in her heart that the Ruan family might have already known about their beloved marriage.She was curious about who the Ruan family's target was.
Because Ruan Wenshan pulled Feng Dongxiang over, everyone also noticed Feng Dongxiang's attire and couldn't help admiring them, Yunyao and Douduo's attire made them even more amazed.Girls have always had the greatest enthusiasm for exquisite clothes and jewelry, not to mention that they are wearing new styles that everyone has never seen before, but every one of them is very beautiful.
So the topic immediately shifted from Ruan Wenshan to clothes, and Yun Yao introduced them very generously.
When Yun Yao was surrounded, Feng Dongxiang also took the opportunity to return to Yun Xi's side.
Yun Xi was surprised and said, "I thought you would stay there."
Feng Dongxiang pursed her lips. She originally thought that she would aspire to be the focus of everyone, but when she really got what she wanted, she found that this didn't seem to be what she wanted, and she was not used to it.After returning to Yun Xi's side, he immediately felt relieved.
Feng Dongxiang looked at the beaming Yunyao with a hint of envy in her eyes - no matter how hard she tried, she probably couldn't become someone like Yunyao.
She was in a daze for a while, then remembered that she hadn't answered Yun Xi's question, her voice lowered a little, "It might be the first time, I'm not used to it." Although she was brought out by Yang a few times before, she usually was ignored.
Yun Xi just took this opportunity to ask the doubts in her heart: "Then why is Ruan Wenxiang at odds with you?"
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the update will definitely not be interrupted, but there is really no guarantee that I will finish writing in the morning, and everyone will read it in the evening.Happy New Year everyone~
(End of this chapter)
A few months ago, Yun Xi asked the embroiderer in the mansion to make several clothes for traveling.Four months after giving birth to Zhuzhu, Yun Xi finally reduced her waistline to the figure before she was pregnant. As for her breasts, at least one size more. After wearing a skirt and a belt, she looked even more slender and her breasts were bulging of.
The clothes Yun Xi usually wears prefer pomegranate skirts, Liuxian skirts, Yuehua skirts, etc., causing the people below to imitate her, and many people like to imitate her.
Every time she goes out to a banquet, Yun Xi can always see Yishui's Yuehua dress, she is tired of seeing it, and with the recent free time, Yun Xi simply starts to fiddle with new clothes.It is said to be new clothes, but in fact it is just taking out various ancient clothes from the memory of the previous life.
Yun Xi watched with satisfaction as Duo Duo was wearing a chest-length skirt. The skirt was bright pink, and the skirt above was moon-white embroidered orchid grass.Not only does it look elegant, but it also shows the lively and cuteness of a girl.This kind of chest-length skirt has never appeared in this world, and Duoduo is especially suitable for wearing it, and she can also show off a little when she wants to come.
Yun Yao was wearing a flower cage skirt. The flower cage skirt itself was made of light, soft and transparent monofilament, but Yun Xi felt that it would look better if it was made of soft smoke, so she directly took the silver-red soft smoke in the warehouse. Luo made flower cage skirts for Yunyao.The flower cage skirt itself is not worn directly, but is covered outside the inner group, and a picture of butterfly and flower is embroidered on it. When walking, it seems that a butterfly is about to flutter its wings from the petals at any time.
Generally speaking, although soft cigarettes look good, noble families generally don't directly make them into clothes, thinking that directly upper body is too frivolous.After Yun Xi made it into a flower cage skirt, it looked just right, after all, it was only covered on the outside, and there was an inner skirt inside.The upper back looks lively and graceful, very suitable for Yunyao.
Yun Yao happily changed into a skirt, stroked the skirt with a happy expression on her face.
As for Yun Xi herself, she made two skirts, one is a ringing bell skirt, with bells adorning the corners of the ringing skirt, and the bells ring when she walks around.It's just that if you wear this skirt to a banquet, it's too high-profile, and it's suspected of overwhelming the guests.So even though Yun Xi likes it, after trying it on, she asks Yin Dan to put it away, and put it on when she serves as the hostess for a banquet.
The other dress is the three-legged skirt that she plans to wear to the banquet at that time. The color Yun Xi dyed with tulips is bright and bright, and it also has a faint fragrance of tulips. Wearing it on her body not only looks elegant and luxurious, but also It also looks light and agile.
Yun Xi tried on the clothes, and they were very appropriate, and she matched the matching jewelry, so she asked them to put them away.When going to a banquet, Yun Xi now habitually brings an extra dress to avoid accidents.So when she asks people to make skirts, they are basically in duplicate, but there are differences in details, such as adding pipa sleeves and buttons.
Yun Xi naturally did not forget her younger sister Yu Rong, even if Yu Rong could not attend the banquet, she still made Yu Rong a double-breasted skirt and a flower cage skirt.
Yu Rong liked it very much, and specially made some small snacks that she made herself.She kept her filial piety at home, and she was idle when she was idle, so she simply learned cooking.After Yun Xi heard about it, she gave her a cook from the mansion to teach her a few dishes.Now Yurong has learned to be decent, and every time she successfully cooks delicious food, she will always send some over.
She also made custard for Zhuzhu, but it was a pity that the baby had to wait half a year before eating custard, and there was no egg white, so she had to decline her kindness.
After trying on the clothes, Yun Xi carried Zhu Zhu over.At this time, Zhuzhu was already able to turn over, and Yun Xi also intended to train her daughter's ability to turn over. On weekdays, she likes to turn her daughter back after she finally turned over.
Yurong came here often, and Zhuzhu was no stranger to her, she just laughed at everyone.
Yurong couldn't help holding Zhuzhu in her lap, and said: "Our Zhuzhu is so cute, unlike my cousin's little nephew who always cries."
Yun Xi said: "This child is heartless again." But a child with a big heart should live happily.
Yun Yao heard Yun Xi's complaints, which seemed to be true and false, and couldn't help but said: "I think Zhuzhu is very good like this, she is so pleasing, everyone likes her."
Yun Xi shook her head, the people around her loved Zhuzhu more than the other, and Yun Shen was more of a daughter-in-law, and she didn't get angry when Zhuzhu grabbed her hair, and she laughed like a fool.Yun Xi felt that in order to prevent Zhuzhu from being spoiled by everyone, she was afraid that she would have to play a bad face in the future.
As soon as she thought this way, Zhuzhu shook the pearl on her head and was about to stuff it into her mouth. Yun Xi quickly picked up the pearl from her hand, lest the girl really put it in her mouth.She had discovered earlier that Zhuzhu likes shiny things, and she didn't know if all children were like this.
Zhuzhu was smiling happily while holding the pearl, but when it was taken away suddenly, she flattened her mouth, looking like she was about to cry or not.
Yun Xi had no choice but to pick her up and gently coax her.In the mother's familiar embrace, plus the practice of turning over for a while earlier, which took a lot of energy, Zhuzhu soon became sleepy and closed her eyes.
After Yun Xi succeeded in coaxing her to sleep, she gently put her in the cradle and asked the nanny to take good care of her.
……
Yun Xi lived a peaceful and peaceful life. Although she received many invitations after she became a filial piety, Yun Xi basically refused them all.She wondered if she should go to the Zhuangzi to take a rest after attending the third prince's Zhou banquet, so as not to be disturbed often.
After she told Chu Xiyuan the "prophecy" earlier, she felt nothing at all. She originally thought that Chu Xiyuan would silently borrow the Heavenly Dog's eclipse to see if the matter was true or not.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiyuan announced this matter directly in the court on July 28.Tell everyone that the Tiangou eclipse will occur in the morning of August [-]st, and bluntly say that this is the oracle Honggu, the leader of the White Clothes Sect, and died after that because of leaking the secret.
The ministers were dubious about this at first, but the officials of the Qin Tianjian did not observe this.Originally they wanted to say that Hong Gu was bewitching the crowd, but when they heard that Hong Gu died, and it was because of leaking the secret, they immediately swallowed all their words.
In addition, it will be the first day of August in three more days, so whether it is true or not will be revealed soon.
What happened in the early dynasty spread quickly to the imperial city, and within a day, it was spread throughout the streets and alleys. People talked about it, some believed it, and some didn't believe it.After all, the last time I saw a Tengu eclipse was probably more than 50 years ago.
The Tiangou eclipse is generally regarded as a bad omen, it is a punishment from the heavens to the court, and it means that the king is not righteous.In the past, even when the dog eclipsed the sun and the moon, the prime minister had to resign, and the emperor had to write a letter of guilt.
But it's different now. God specially told Chu Xiyuan through Honggu's mouth. It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with the emperor Chu Xiyuan.
After thinking about it, Yun Xi knew Chu Xiyuan's intention, on the one hand, it was to avoid rumor confusion after the solar eclipse.On the other hand, it is to lay the groundwork for the end of the year. With the prophecy of the solar eclipse ahead, I want to wait until he tells everyone that Honggu also "predicted" snowstorms and floods, so that the common people can believe it immediately, and they will not be half-believed.
This is probably the first time that everyone is looking forward to a solar eclipse.It's a pity that Da Chu couldn't see clearly enough. The geographical location of Nanling Capital is the best place to watch the solar eclipse.But Yun Xi would go to Nanling specially to see this, she is not stupid.
Although such a total solar eclipse is indeed unlikely.
When it was the first day of August, Yun Xi asked several servants to look at the sun in turn, and when they found a solar eclipse, they would remind everyone.Because the sun is covered by clouds, looking directly at the sun will not be too dazzling, and several people will take turns watching it so as not to damage their eyes.
In fact, people in the entire capital were doing the same thing. The ordinary people who were eager to lower their heads did not do their work for a while, but looked up at the sun, with expectant expressions on their faces.This is probably the first time in my life that a solar eclipse has been so anticipated.
Yun Xi was teasing Zhuzhu in the room. Zhuzhu was wearing a panda-shaped dress that she specially sewed for her, just a word cute.
A certain unscrupulous mother purposely took Zhuzhu's favorite jewelry, dangled it in front of her, and took it back when Zhuzhu was about to catch it.Zhuzhu made a babbling sound of unknown meaning, as if protesting to her.
Yin Dan was speechless watching from the side: Thanks to the little princess's good temper, she wouldn't get angry no matter how she played with her. If it were any other child, she would start crying at this moment.
But Yun Xi dared to tease her because she knew her daughter's temperament.
One after another, the beating of gongs sounded suddenly, accompanied by exclamations of exclamation.
Afraid that her daughter would be frightened by the sound, Yun Xi quickly covered her daughter's ears with her hands.On the contrary, Zhuzhu smiled so much that she could see her little baby teeth, dancing with hands and feet, and made a sound that only she could understand.
have to!Her daughter has been bold since she was a child.
At this time, the servants of the mansion also rushed over, and respectfully said: "Madam, it is indeed a solar eclipse! Although it is covered by clouds a lot, it can be seen that the sun was indeed eaten by a tengu!" His voice Inevitably with excitement.
Yun Xi wanted to put Zhuzhu on the bed, let someone guard it, and go outside to have a look by herself.But Zhuzhu held her sleeve with her little hand, and looked at her eagerly.No one can resist for more than ten seconds under those clear and innocent eyes.
Yun Xi felt distressed immediately, so she went out with Zhuzhu in her arms. Anyway, she was watching under the eaves, so she wouldn't be exposed to the sun.
After leaving the house, the sound of gongs and drums became even louder... Apparently, the common people outside were beating gongs and drums on the street, and the loud sound merged into an ocean.
Yun Xi's hand was still on Zhuzhu's ear, so as not to frighten her precious daughter by the too loud sound.
She raised her head and looked to the sky.
A small part of the sun is covered by the moon, as if a small part of a golden pie has been eaten by someone, and the more places are covered by the moon, the smaller it becomes.Although the dark clouds covered part of it, if you observe carefully, you can still see this process.
In the end, the whole sun was completely covered by the moon, but there was a faint circle of light like white jade around it.
Yun Xi felt that the original beating of the gong seemed to have stopped, and it seemed that everyone was appreciating the scene.Even the best painters can't capture the dynamic beauty of nature.
The breeze blew gently, and time seemed to stop at this moment.
She blinked, the moon slowly moved away from the sun, the sun radiated dazzling light again, and the earth returned to its original light.The clouds that had originally blocked the sun quietly dissipated at some point.
The eclipse is over.
Yun Xi heard cheers coming from outside the house, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
With this solar eclipse, at least more people will believe in the snow disaster at the end of the year.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and returned to the room with Zhuzhu in her arms.She intends to write this matter down, let everyone in Dachu know, and help Honggu to make a name for herself. With the halo of "God Envoy", Honggu will be more accepted by everyone.In addition, she herself is dead, no matter how famous she is, she will not arouse Chu Xiyuan's fear.
Thinking of the figure who never turned back to avenge the Lord and pave the way for the congregation, Yun Xi felt a little melancholy, and then this sadness quickly turned into a firm belief.
She must not let Honggu die in vain.
Perhaps because of the feeling in her heart, Yun Xi's writing and thinking flowed like a spring, and this prose unconsciously used some memorable lines from her previous life.After she put down her pen, Yun Xi read it again and felt that she had a rare literary talent.
After finishing writing, she checked it several times, caught some bugs, revised a few sentences, and then re-written it before sending it to the printing factory.
The impact of the solar eclipse was greater than she had imagined, causing quite a stir.For three whole days, the common people were discussing this matter.Because of the solar eclipse, Honggu's reputation suddenly increased. Originally, she was whitewashed a lot because of the pedal spinning wheel, but now many ordinary people have revered her, and even the white-clothed teacher stood up. A lot of light.
If the White Clothes Cult is really composed of ruthless congregants, how could the gods appear above their leader and remind people through her mouth.
At least now, even if Mu Tongtong and the others accidentally reveal their identities in front of others, they won't be given strange looks.
After at least seven or eight years passed, the enthusiasm for this discussion subsided a little.
……
On the seventh day of August, General Yun Xi also invited Feng Dongxiang who was still in the Yun Mansion.Feng Dongxiang can also be regarded as a relative of the Yun family, Yun Xi can't treat each other more favorably, and only bring her sisters from her natal family, but not her husband's family.
She had asked someone to prepare several styles of clothes and jewelry for Feng Dongxiang before, and asked her to choose two sets she liked.
Feng Dongxiang chose Yuehua skirt, she seems to have a special liking for Yuehua skirt.Compared with Yun Xi's two younger sisters, each with their own merits, Feng Dongxiang's appearance is really ordinary. Even if she is dressed in brocade and jade belts, and her hair is full of emerald jewels, it still pales in comparison.
And wearing too many jewels and emeralds, people only remember the gorgeous jewelry, and have no impression of her at all.
Feng Dongxiang looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes dimmed a bit.A person's appearance is innate, no matter how hard she tries, she still has this face that is easy to forget.Even if she worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and behaved well, at most she would have a little more temperament.
Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "I'll put on your makeup for you."
Feng Dongxiang cannot be completely reduced to a foil for Yunyao and Duoduo.
Feng Dongxiang shook her head, "No need, I can do it like this." She doesn't believe that the world only pays attention to her appearance, as long as she shows her beautiful side, everyone will be able to see her good side sooner or later.
Yun Xi looked at Feng Dongxiang's face seriously, thoughtfully, but speaking of it, Feng Dongxiang has a face that is very suitable for makeup.
She pinched Feng Dongxiang's cheek lightly with her fingers, and rubbed it - this action made Feng Dongxiang's face heat up continuously, her face flushed, and her blushing appearance added a bit of beauty to her.
Yun Xi nodded, "I'll give you some makeup." Feng Dongxiang's facial features were slightly flatter, which suits that kind of heavy makeup.
Yun Xi usually puts on makeup for people, basically it's light makeup, sometimes it's nude makeup with no trace of makeup visible.Now you can try it on Feng Dongxiang's face.
She pulled Feng Dongxiang to the front of the mirror, first washed her face thoroughly with soap, and before putting on makeup, she even patted a little rose water as a toner from her previous life, and then applied a delicate face cream.
After the basic skin care work was done, she started to put on makeup in an orderly manner.
Feng Dongxiang's eyes are relatively small, which tends to give people a feeling of lack of energy.Yun Xi used a paintbrush to draw eyeliner on her eyes, which made her eyes look bigger, and she became more energetic all of a sudden.In view of the limited materials, she can only draw a simplified version of smoky makeup, which gives people a charming but not overly ostentatious feeling.
The makeup on the face is girly, which neutralizes the mature feeling brought by the smoky makeup.
After finishing the whole makeup, Yun Xi put down the brush with satisfaction.No wonder some people say that makeup is equivalent to plastic surgery. The Feng Dongxiang who appeared in front of her can be described as a completely different person. She is cute with a touch of charm, and her eyes have a kind of blurred charm. It is difficult to connect her with the previous one. Together.
"It's amazing!" Yun Yao looked dumbfounded.This is even more exaggerated than Yirong!If you don't change your face, you can't be so good-looking.
Feng Dongxiang was originally staying in front of the mirror, until Yunyao's voice woke her up, and she gently stroked her cheek in disbelief.
Yun Xi is still a bit regretful, there are still a few tools, so it is not satisfactory.
Feng Dongxiang was already very satisfied, she had never looked so good-looking.Her eyes were slightly red, "Thank you." There is no girl who does not wish to be more beautiful.
Yun Xi thought for a while, she was considered free recently.The aristocratic daughters of this era will also teach some ladies' grooming.
Yun Xi clenched her fist with her right hand and lightly tapped her left palm, "After the banquet comes back, I'll teach you some makeup in the next month." By that time, she will definitely not miss Yu Rong's existence.
The three girls nodded hurriedly.
Yun Xi asked the subordinates to make poplar nectar, and each of them ate a bowl to fill their stomachs before preparing to set off.Before leaving, there was a little episode.
Zhuzhu, who was asleep, suddenly woke up, and she insisted on Yun Xi's hug, but the others would cry while hugging her.
With so many people at the banquet, Yun Xi was really worried about bringing her daughter there.On weekdays, Zhuzhu has a very good temper, and everyone hugs her with a sweet smile. Everyone said that they have never seen such an easy-to-carry child.But tonight it was rare to get into a temper tantrum.
When she was crying, she didn't cry like other children, she cried softly like a cat, crying until Yun Xi's heart was crumpled into a ball, and she almost told her not to go.
Later, she had no choice but to sing a lullaby with Zhuzhu in her arms.Yun Xi's singing ability is so-so, but she can't be tone deaf.
Contrary to her expectation, after she sang it several times, Zhuzhu finally fell asleep again, with a pure and innocent sleeping face.
Only then did Yun Xi breathe a sigh of relief, and after telling them to take care of Zhuzhu, she turned around and got into the carriage.
She couldn't help but said, "What a little magic star."
Duoduo said in a soft voice: "Zhuzhu is like this occasionally, she is usually very good."
Yun Xi is just talking.A few people chatted and laughed, and arrived in front of the Third Prince's Mansion in two quarters of an hour. There were many gorgeous carriages parked in front of the door. I don't know how many people arrived earlier than them.
Yun Xi and the others got off the carriage. She, Yun Yao, and Duo Duo are all rare beauties. Feng Dongxiang also has a special style after her skillful makeup. The four of them stand together, not to mention how attractive they are. The costumes of several people were carefully designed by Yun Xi.
Along the way, many people greeted her.Although Yun Xi basically didn't know these people, she still nodded in greeting with a faint smile on her lips.Li Qiu was next to her, dutifully introducing everyone's identities to her.
Suddenly Yun Xi heard an exclamation, accompanied by a few deliberately suppressed comments.
"I didn't expect him to come back to the capital."
"Yeah, there is another newcomer beside him."
"Oh, poor Mrs. Ming was so worried about him, she shed so many tears behind her back."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows when she heard this—these people are so powerful, they even know if they are crying behind their backs,
She did know who these women were talking about.It was Ming Zuoting, the son of Xuan Ping Hou.Speaking of it, Xuan Ping Hou is also a rare "wife-management" in Da Chu. He has a gentle and kind personality since he was a child. He is good at painting landscapes and does not like being an official.When he was young, after obtaining the honor of juren, he completely let go of his hands and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.When he was weak, he happened to meet Mrs. Ming, and despite all obstacles, he married Mrs. Ming. The two have been married for more than 20 years, and they have never been married.
Someone once invited Ming Shaotang, Marquis of Xuanping, to go to the place of fireworks, but Ming Shaotang waved his hand and said that there was a Hedong lion at home, so he dared not set foot there.From then on, everyone knew about the reputation of fear of guilt.
However, Yun Xi felt that the two of them were clearly one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer. If Marquis Xuan Ping really wanted to take a concubine, no matter how tough Mrs. Ming was, she would not be able to stop her.
Marquis Xuan Ping and Mrs. Ming have a son and a daughter. The eldest son Ming Zuoting is both civil and military, handsome and handsome, but he has a broken sleeve.
Yun Xi's gaze could not help falling on Ming Zuoting. He was dressed in a wide soap-colored robe, with a long body and a face like a crown jade.Beside him was a young servant who was even more beautiful than a girl... No, it's not so much a young servant as a young servant.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, not intending to comment on his sexual orientation.This shows that even if Zuo Ting cut off his sleeves, he would do so frankly, and it was never heard that he harmed any girl.It's not like some people who obviously have broken sleeves, but for the sake of the so-called family inheritance, they still marry a girl and go back to use it as a child-bearing tool.
Ming Zuoting turned his head just in time, and glanced at them with peach blossom eyes, the women who were gossiping before immediately fell silent.I don't know if it's Yun Xi's overheartedness, but she always feels that Ming Zuoting seems to stay in their direction for a while.
The maids in the Third Prince's Mansion led them into the backyard.The weekly banquet was arranged in the evening, but Yun Xi and the others had already arrived in the morning.
Throughout the whole day, she has to cheer up and chat with others, but this itself is also a good time for her own girls to show up, so many women are surrounded by beautifully dressed girls, and everyone uses their biggest Their unique abilities highlight their own advantages, some are as bright as a peony, and some are as quiet as an orchid.
"Yun Xi, you're here too." A familiar clear female voice sounded.
Yun Xi turned her head and saw Yan Ling Yanyan walking towards her with a smile, wearing a phoenix tail skirt.
Yun Xi scanned around, and when she came over, she chuckled, "You've lost a lot of weight recently."
After hearing this, Yanling smiled, "I knew you would be able to see that I've lost weight. In the past few months, I've finally lost [-] pounds, which is lighter than before I was pregnant. Otherwise, I would not have lost weight like before. It’s embarrassing to go out.” Especially the waist, at that time it felt like it was all flesh.
Yan Ling lost weight in Yun Xi's shop.Speaking of which, Yun Xi's weight loss gym has not yet been formally built, but the personnel have been trained almost, so Yan Ling will be cheaper first.Moreover, her weight loss gym basically uses healthy and moderate exercise instead of dieting to lose weight, so as to avoid rebound to the greatest extent.
After Yan Ling turned her eyes around the few of them, she said with emotion: "I don't know what's going on in your head, but you can always design such beautiful clothes."
Then he praised the three girls again and again, Yunyao and Duoduo were alright, they were used to it long ago, but Feng Dongxiang, whose appearance was rarely praised, blushed with excitement.
A few people talked and laughed, and came to the garden in the backyard.Unexpectedly, it was not the third concubine who entertained the female relatives in the backyard, but Su Wan in a light purple dress.Yun Xi and Su Wan haven't seen each other for at least a year, but it feels like Su Wan hasn't changed at all.
She stood over there, entertaining the guests gently, with a graceful and slick attitude, standing next to Su Wan to help her seemed to be Nanny Gu, the nanny brought by the Third Prince from her natal home.The two cooperated very well, neither losing the royal air of the Third Prince's Mansion, but also making everyone present feel like a spring breeze.
Su Wan smiled softly, "It just so happens that the servants sent up some pots of chrysanthemums recently. Although they are not precious varieties, they are quite interesting. If you are interested, you can also appreciate them."
Others agreed one after another, and someone asked about the third concubine Yang Yeqing politely.
Su Wan still had a gentle smile, "The princess is not feeling well today, my concubine, thanks to the princess, I don't dislike her, so I will come forward to receive you temporarily."
In fact, the truth is that Xiao Shizi didn't know what he ate badly yesterday, so he suddenly vomited and had diarrhea.Yang Yeqing was distressed that her son would suffer at a young age, so she took care of him all night.Because she didn't want to appear in front of people with a haggard look, Yang Yeqing could only take a short nap to recharge her energy and investigate the tricks.
Naturally, it is difficult to say the reasons for these various reasons.
"I heard that side concubine Su was a well-known talented woman in the capital before she came out of the pavilion." A girl said crisply, looking at Su Wan with adoring eyes.
Su Wan just pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just that she can read a few words, how can she be a talented woman."
While talking, several pots of chrysanthemums have been delivered, and each pot is a rare treasure of chrysanthemums, such as green clouds, red plums covered in snow, green clothes and red clothes, etc...
Compared with reciting poems and painting, Yun Xi is more interested in viewing flowers, admiring the moving beauty of these flowers with relish.
Su Wan asked people to take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so that some interested ladies could express their inspiration and leave poems.Many girls are eager to try, after all, this is a good opportunity to show their talents in front of others.Most of the invitations to get the third prince's mansion are either rich or expensive.
Yun Xi was not interested in this matter at all, and just sat beside her and drank tea.As for Yunyao, she saw a familiar friend and dragged Duoduo and Feng Dongxiang over.
After taking a sip of the tea, she smelled the faint scent of orchids in her nose, and Yun Xi raised her eyebrows—it turned out to be orchid tea.
"This is Yunwu Tea Bar, it's really good."
"Your Majesty gave the third prince several jars of tribute tea in the beginning of spring, which is the only honor among the princes."
Yun Xi's heart moved, and her eyes couldn't help falling on Su Wan.It seems that she is the only one who is orchid tea, and she knows that this special treatment is specially ordered by Su Wan.
Su Wan smiled at her, and the strangeness brought about by not seeing her for a long time seemed to be melted in this gaze.
Yun Xi sipped tea in a happy mood, watching those girls chirping and discussing whose poems were better, she felt a few years younger.Bah, bah, bah, no, she was already young!She's not even twenty yet!
This kind of idea of automatically adding age to yourself as soon as you get married is very dangerous.
An hour later, the final leader was also selected, and the leader was Ruan Wenshan, the daughter of the Northwest Governor.Speaking of Ruan Wenshan's family background, her father is the governor, one of her elder brothers is a promising major general, and the other is a household doctor.She herself is an old daughter of her father, so she can be called the apple of the eye of the Ruan family.It's just that this Ruan Wenshan has been weak since childhood, so she seldom appears in front of people.
Her appearance is also worthy of the evaluation of sinking fish and wild goose. She is as demure as a delicate flower like water, and her actions are like a weak willow supporting the wind, which is unique and romantic.Today, many girls have shown their housekeeping skills in order to become a blockbuster. Ruan Wenshan was still able to win the top spot, partly because of her family background, but it can be seen that her talent and learning have also been recognized by everyone.
Among the women who came here today, she was the one who performed the most brilliantly.
Yun Xi believed that after today, the daughter of the Ruan family would become famous in the capital.
Ruan Wenshan was praised by many people. She was neither humble nor overbearing, and she had the bearing that a lady should have. Many girls surrounded her, but they were overshadowed by her light and became her foil.
"Hey, are you really Feng Dongxiang? Why do I feel like you have changed your face?"
A somewhat sharp voice sounded from a distance, Yun Xi turned her head sharply because she heard Feng Dongxiang's name, and saw a woman in a big red pomegranate skirt and full of jewels frowning at Feng Dongxiang.
Yun Xi frowned slightly.
Li Qiu whispered in her ear: "That's Ruan Wenxiang, Ruan Wenshan's clan sister, and she seems to be at odds with Miss Cousin."
Yun Xi said: "Dongxiang is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to provoke people." Although Feng Dongxiang was a little cautious, he was generally not a bad person, and he kept his own place on weekdays.
Li Qiu said: "I'm not too sure about this." It's also impossible for her to inquire about every trivial matter.
Over there, Yunyao had already given Feng Dongxiang a head start. Although she and Feng Dongxiang had a mediocre relationship, they came out together, and she stood up to protect her shortcomings.Yun Yao said directly: "What's the matter? Dongxiang's facial features are not bad at first, and she can be a little beauty after a little care."
Ruan Wenxiang dared to hate Feng Dongxiang, but he didn't dare to directly offend Yunyao—no one in the capital knew that Yunyao was Yun Xi's favorite sister, she said, "I just think that girls of our age should regard nature as beauty, don't Wear heavy makeup all day long."
Yun Yao sneered, and said, "You wipe off the rouge on your face before you say this."
What qualifications do people who wear makeup themselves have to say about others?Ruan Wenxiang looks mediocre, but he is just jealous of Dongxiang becoming a little beauty after makeup.
Seeing that Yunyao could solve the problem alone, Yun Xi didn't go over to support them, and sat down leisurely to drink tea.
Ruan Wenshan smiled apologetically when she saw the clan sister making such a commotion, "I'll go over."
The girls around her understood and let Ruan Wenshan pass.Some of them complained to her.
"Wen Shan has such a good temper, she always cleans up the mess for Wen Xiang."
"Yeah, Wen Xiang is too smug. If she didn't have Wen Shan to lead her, how could she come here. But she still doesn't know how to behave, and she insists on causing trouble for Wen Shan."
"Yeah, Wen Shan is not in good health, so I have to worry about these things."
These girls seemed to have been conquered by Ruan Wenshan, and they all loved her there.
Ruan Wenshan walked up to Feng Dongxiang gracefully, and said in a sincere tone; "I'm really sorry, although my sister has a sharp mouth, she has no evil intentions."
A noble and beautiful girl like her apologized to Feng Dongxiang, Feng Dongxiang suddenly became a little flustered and stammered, "It's okay, it's okay."
Yun Yao squeezed Feng Dongxiang's hand, Feng Dongxiang remembered the teachings of the nuns in the mansion, took a deep breath, calmed down, and smiled slightly, "It's okay." Her eyes fell on Ruan Wenxiang, not He gave a nail without being too hard, "It's just that Miss Ruan should pay more attention to her tongue in the future. If she meets someone with a sharp mouth like Miss Ruan, she may not be as easy-talking as I am."
Ruan Wenxiang didn't expect that she dared to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, and anger lit up in his heart, and he was about to make some remarks against this ugly monster.
Ruan Wenshan cast a warning look at the right time, Ruan Wenxiang forcibly held back what he wanted to say, and apologized politely, "I made a slip of the tongue before."
Ruan Wenshan showed a gratified expression, and everyone could hear the sincere joy in her words, "I am so happy to see that you two can shake hands and make peace."
Then he pulled his clan sister Ruan Wenxiang on the left and Feng Dongxiang on the right, leading them into the crowd, and she was always the focus of the crowd.
The other women saw this scene in their eyes, and looked at Ruan Wenshan with a little love in their eyes, thinking that Ruan Wenshan was really a rare and good girl.Good temperament, outstanding talent, peerless appearance, noble family background, I don't know what kind of family status can not humiliate such a wonderful person.
There are also some well-matched families, and there are also young wives in the family who try to bring up this topic.
Mrs. Ruan looked at her daughter with eyes full of love. Although her mouth was modest, everyone could see the pride on her face, "My Shan'er is still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years."
Yun Xi looked at Mrs. Ruan's complacent expression, but guessed in her heart that the Ruan family might have already known about their beloved marriage.She was curious about who the Ruan family's target was.
Because Ruan Wenshan pulled Feng Dongxiang over, everyone also noticed Feng Dongxiang's attire and couldn't help admiring them, Yunyao and Douduo's attire made them even more amazed.Girls have always had the greatest enthusiasm for exquisite clothes and jewelry, not to mention that they are wearing new styles that everyone has never seen before, but every one of them is very beautiful.
So the topic immediately shifted from Ruan Wenshan to clothes, and Yun Yao introduced them very generously.
When Yun Yao was surrounded, Feng Dongxiang also took the opportunity to return to Yun Xi's side.
Yun Xi was surprised and said, "I thought you would stay there."
Feng Dongxiang pursed her lips. She originally thought that she would aspire to be the focus of everyone, but when she really got what she wanted, she found that this didn't seem to be what she wanted, and she was not used to it.After returning to Yun Xi's side, he immediately felt relieved.
Feng Dongxiang looked at the beaming Yunyao with a hint of envy in her eyes - no matter how hard she tried, she probably couldn't become someone like Yunyao.
She was in a daze for a while, then remembered that she hadn't answered Yun Xi's question, her voice lowered a little, "It might be the first time, I'm not used to it." Although she was brought out by Yang a few times before, she usually was ignored.
Yun Xi just took this opportunity to ask the doubts in her heart: "Then why is Ruan Wenxiang at odds with you?"
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the update will definitely not be interrupted, but there is really no guarantee that I will finish writing in the morning, and everyone will read it in the evening.Happy New Year everyone~
