The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 123 Mr. Wen Qing
"Miss spins and reads all day, so it's time to go for a walk."

While chattering, Huamei took out an apricot yellow blouse embroidered with wood hibiscus and put it on for Yuechan: "As soon as Miss Jiang comes back, she will hold this chrysanthemum tasting party. I heard that many ladies are invited to go. Miss, go It’s good to take a trip, get to know a few more people, and have a place to talk in the future.”

Huang Ying brought over the powder and powdered Yuechan finely, and applied rouge on her lips. Huan'er picked out head jewelry and skillfully combed Yuechan's hair, with a pattern of twigs on the front. In Huasheng, there are rice beads hanging down, and a golden phoenix step is inserted on one side. The step trembles slightly, and a string of red jade hangs down.

After dressing up, Yuechan went to bid farewell to the old lady first, and then took the car to Duke Wei's mansion.

She just entered the main room here, unfortunately Yue'e and Yueting were also there, the old lady was a little unhappy when she saw Yuechan, Yuechan ignored it, bowed according to the rules before going out, but she heard the old lady say: "Yue'e and Yueting have been bored in the house for a while. You are the elder sister. You should take more younger sisters. When you go out today, there will naturally be many noble girls. You also take them with you to make more friends."

Yuechan was helpless, although she didn't want to take these two girls with her, but she couldn't say anything after the old lady said something. She had already offended the old lady because of the marriage before, if she refuted such a request again, the old lady was afraid that she would really get along with her. She turned her face, and when the time comes, no one will look good.

"Yes!" Yuechan said softly: "Yuechan knows, and will definitely take care of my sister."

While talking, Yuechan took Yue'e and Yueting out without looking at the smug expressions on their faces.

When Yuechan got into the car after leaving the gate, she heard Yueting sneer: "I don't know what to praise, I don't want to enjoy such glory, and I even choke with the old lady..."

Yuechan turned her head and glared at Yueting: "Since it's the glory and wealth, and you're so greedy, why don't you enjoy it yourself?"

After finishing speaking, Yuechan brought her thrush and Huan'er into the carriage, Yueting's face blushed, but there was nothing she could do about Yuechan, so she wanted to go over and argue, but Yue'e grabbed her , Winking at her, the sisters got into the next carriage.

This time the chrysanthemum tasting meeting was held in a courtyard of Duke Wei’s mansion, not too far from Meng’s residence, Yuechan got up early, and the carriage was driving fast. The climate is also a bit warmer, the sun is shining warmly, which makes Yuechan feel comfortable all over.

After taking the post, Yuechan handed it to the girl who was outside to greet the guests, and brought Yue'e and Yueting in. As soon as she entered the gate, she saw a huge shadow wall, which was made of green bricks. The chrysanthemums are simple and simple, but there are pots of single-petal golden chrysanthemums in front of the shadow wall. When the sun shines, the chrysanthemums glow with golden light, which is a scene of prosperity.

Bypassing Yingbi and walking along the Qingshi Road, both sides of the road are filled with chrysanthemums of various colors, either yellow or green, red or purple, each of which is fragrant, Yuechan wants to stop and take a good look at it.

She had only walked a short distance, and saw many famous chrysanthemums, and thought that the Jiang family had a profound heritage, and even a chrysanthemum tasting event would cost a lot of money.

Just thinking about it, Yue Ting said in surprise behind her: "Sister, look, isn't that golden back red?"

Then I heard Yue'e whispering: "There is still a white moon under the moon. The front yard is like this. I don't know how many precious people are waiting in the garden. This trip is worthwhile."

Yuechan stopped, turned her head to look at Yue'e and Yueting: "The old lady asked me to take you with me, I will take care of you, you two should be careful, there is no one here today. Let's see which one will clean up for you."

In a word, Yue'e didn't say anything, Yue Ting looked a little annoyed, but this girl calmed down, presumably, she also knew that Wei Guogong's other courtyard was not a place where she could run wild.

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Yuechan didn't say anything anymore, and led them for another walk, and entered the Hanging Flower Gate, when she heard a burst of laughter: "Sister Yuechan, I haven't seen you for many years, have you ever thought about me?"

Looking along the prestige, I saw Jiang Tong standing in a lavender shirt among purple chrysanthemums. The round face three years ago was now much thinner, with a pointed chin, and those big eyes were shining brightly. The small mouth is slightly turned up, and when she smiles, two dimples are faintly visible. Compared with three years ago, this girl has grown a lot taller, and she also looks bigger, but she still has a playful and sweet look.

"You girl, you really deserve a call for asking this question." Yuechan smiled and took Jiang Tong's hand: "It's okay outside, I haven't heard from you for three years, and I still treat you as a little girl." Conscience has forgotten me as a sister..."

Jiang Tong pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister has wronged me, even if I forget someone, I dare not forget you."

While speaking, Jiang Tong glanced behind Yuechan, curled her lips: "Sister, these two are..."

Yuechan hurriedly turned around, called Yue'e and Yueting over, and said with a smile: "These are my two younger sisters. When I heard that I was coming, I also wanted to see how many famous products Tong's sister has here, so I followed. My sister doesn't mind if we have two more mouths, let's mix a few more bowls of rice."

After saying this, Jiang Tong laughed loudly: "When our Jiang family is poor, we can't afford food for two people. Let me tell the truth, not to mention two more people, even if there are more than twenty people, we are not afraid of eating. .”

While talking, Jiang Tong took Yuechan's hand and led her to walk in. While walking, he introduced various chrysanthemums along the way, and saw that the back garden was full of chrysanthemums, each blooming brightly. Cherished green peonies, black chrysanthemums, golden horses in Yutang, red plums covered in snow, new jade peacocks, and independent cold autumns are all different, dazzling people who look at them.

Yuechan couldn't help sighing: "It's hard for you to think so much, so many chrysanthemums can't be bought with just money, the effort of finding famous ones, planting and cultivating them can kill people. "

Jiang Tong smiled: "I didn't do this. You know my grandmother prefers this. She has such a leisurely mind. She likes to take care of flowers and plants when she has nothing to do on weekdays. My family's other village specializes in chrysanthemums. These chrysanthemums also I don’t know how many years I’ve planted them, but as far as I can remember, there’s not much less than this. In a villa in the east of the city, there is a single plum blossom. When it snows in winter, I’ll invite you to go. At that time, we’ll have a barbecue around the stove while watching the plum blossoms. Isn't it an elegant thing to appreciate plum blossoms in snow."

"I don't know about elegant things. If you just watch the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms, it will be quite elegant. But when you say that you have a barbecue around the stove, you have ruined the elegant word. In my opinion, plum appreciation is the second, the key." It's barbecue."

Along the way, Yuechan talked and laughed with Jiang Tong, leaving Yue'e and Yueting behind, it was really awkward, Yuechan wanted to mention two people, but all the way, she was always pulled by Jiang Tong Talking together, there was no time to take care of the two of them, which aroused the anger of the two of them.

Walking to a pavilion in the backyard, only a few people came here at this time, Jiang Tong didn't say hello, just pulled Yueting to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this barbecue, I just tell you A few days ago, when I was visiting the West Market, I met a Hu merchant. He brought a seasoning called cumin from the west. He sprinkled it on the barbecue. You bring some, and you go home and try."

Yuechan nodded in response, took a sip of the prepared tea, and then remembered Yue'e and smiled at the two of them: "You two are thirsty too, hurry up and drink some tea, there are some chrysanthemum bushes over there. There are a few noble ladies here, after drinking the tea, you can go and play for a while if you want, as long as you don’t just walk around.”

Yuechan was kind enough to take care of the two of them, but she didn't expect Yueting to be ungrateful, she just sat down, drank the tea, and left without saying a word.

Yue'e took a look at Yuechan, and then followed. Jiang Tong just looked at her and said angrily: "Who is it, how did your family teach such a daughter? It's really annoying. Forget it, just ignore them. We Say ours."

Yuechan shook her head and smiled wryly. This Jiang Tong still had that temper. She was from a good background and was doted on by a family. Naturally, she was a little more pampered and spoke directly. However, she had a good heart, and only the person she liked , I will take more care of myself, and making friends with such a person is also worry-free.

It's just that Jiang Tong's temper has offended many people secretly.

While Yuechan was thinking secretly, she took a look at Jiang Tong, and thought to herself, didn't she also like her temperament? If she didn't have such straightforwardness, how could she be called the eldest lady of the Jiang family? I hope she can Keep it up.

Here she thought to herself, why not a thirteen or fourteen year old girl in green clothes walked in, the little girl was gentle and soft, with a slight smile on her face, and a hint of timidity, people who looked at her felt pity, just Can't wait to protect her well.

"Tong'er is here!" The little girl who entered the pavilion sat down and glanced at Yuechan: "Are you Miss Meng?"

She knew her, Yuechan was a little surprised, looked at the little girl carefully for a while, and then remembered, this is the girl Qinglan who had met once.

Yuechan hurriedly smiled: "Miss Qinglan!"

Jiang Tong stood up now, and looked at Qinglan with a sad face: "When did you come here, girl, if something happens, I don't care."

Qinglan lowered her head, her expression was a little gloomy: "I know Tong'er doesn't like me, I'm so worthless, but..."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Tong couldn't bear Qinglan's eyes and tone, and quickly waved his hands: "You're here, what are you talking about, when did you come, are you hungry, I'll ask someone to bring you some snacks .”

Hearing this, Qinglan raised her head and laughed: "I'm not hungry, I just heard that Tong'er invited Mr. Wenqing to come, and you know that I am very attracted to Mr. Wenqing. I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't tell you. One sound, I came here by myself, don't be unhappy."

Jiang Tong just sat down, poured another cup of tea for Yuechan, and smiled at Qinglan: "You are very well informed, I invited Mr. Wenqing, but you are not the only one here who admires him It's tight, among the ladies who came here today, there are not many who don't admire their fame."

Mr. Wenqing?

Yuechan frowned, thought for a while, and then remembered this person.

This Young Master Wen Qing is a famous Young Master who emerged from the Dazhao Kingdom in the past three years. I don't know the origin. I only know that this Young Master likes white clothes, loves to play the flute, and has a very high attainment in rhyme and rhyme. Absolutely, what's even more commendable is that it seems that there is nothing in this world that can be difficult to beat others.

Whether it's writing and poetry, or calligraphy and painting, other martial arts, architectural geomancy... Anyway, in general, as long as you can think of a name, Mr. Wen Qing is proficient in it.

I heard that when this young master was traveling in the south two years ago, someone blindly bet him that it was a culinary competition. That person invited a famous local cook, who was from an imperial cook, to compete with Mr. Wenqing. It was an easy win, not only got a lot of money, but also more famous, since then, I don't know how many people yearn for this young master's name.
