109 screen selection
I can't deny that she looks good at smiling, just like a round red Fuji apple.
"Sister is so beautiful today!" This sentence can be completely understood as heartfelt admiration, if you ignore the fleeting hatred in your eyes.
"I knew that my sister must dress up carefully. Come and have a look, so as not to be surrounded by them..."
She circled around Cheng Xueyan, and her eyes up and down were frightening.
"My sister is also beautiful today!"
Cheng Xueyan responded politely and told the truth.
After Cheng Xueyao and ji, she gathered all the wedges hanging to her forehead, showing a high and neat hairline.
Cheng Xueyan found that she had a beauty tip, and she always thought that such a hairline was very noble.
Today's dress is still pink as the main color, with cloud makeup and satin woven colorful butterfly top. The butterfly is embroidered with peacock feathers, which is extremely luxurious. Originally, the coat was very eye-catching, but she chose the gentleman orchid to choose the gauze pleated skirt, so that the flower to the flower looked a little messy.
As usual, Cheng Xueyan saw the fragrant hairpin of the chrysanthemum she sent in the middle of her hair. It could be seen that she still liked this jewelry very much, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Is your sister dressed up?" Cheng Xueyao took her hand enthusiastically, and two glazed bracelets and a colorful ribbon twisted silk bracelet jingled on her round and jade wrist: "Let's go quickly. We won't get a good seat when it's too late..."
Before the words fell, he hurriedly pulled her to the door.
Cheng Xueyan is just strange. Why is everything so abnormal today?
Bitong felt uneasy and hurriedly followed.
Qi Tong waited in the small hall and saw them coming out. She hurriedly bowed to Cheng Xueyan and followed the three.
The narrow staircase naturally does not allow four people to travel together.
"My sister is long, let's go first..." Cheng Xueyao was respectful.
This line is different from the ceremony. Cheng Xueyao seems to have grown up overnight.
"That day, Xue Yao and Zhu heard that her sister was ill and had always wanted to visit her, but her mother said that she needed to rest and didn't want me to bother my sister, so she had to come today... Ah - sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Girl..."
"Big girl..."
Before hearing the chaos behind her, Cheng Xueyan only felt that someone pushed herself hard behind. She involuntarily stepped a few steps but still couldn't help rushing down...
"Dong!"
The head is hard on the wall.
For a moment, consciousness disappeared.
But it was only for a moment, and then she clearly saw Cheng Xueyao's face with a smile.
"Why is my sister so careless?"
I thought that Bitong and Qitong could see her tricks clearly, but because her identity was not easy to expose, they all frowned and squeezed their lips.
Cheng Xueyao did not hesitate: "Why did my sister forget? Is this the game we used to play when we were young?
When I was a child? Play often?
Cheng Xueyan really wants to investigate how this body grew to 18 years old.
"Ah, I forgot that my sister can't remember anything. However, I heard from Dr. Song that my sister's illness can only recover from external stimulation. I don't know what happened just now?
She spoke magnificently and righteously, which makes people doubt whether her "unreal intentions" was wrong?
"It seems that my sister still didn't remember anything," Cheng Xueyao shook her head regretfully, as if regretting that the strength just now was not strong enough: "Oh, my sister's forehead is broken..."
She screamed in a panic, and Cheng Xueyan felt that her eyebrows were hot. As soon as she touched it, she was swollen.
"Bitong, how do you take care of your master? How could you hurt your sister like this?" Cheng Xueyao is the one who really suffers from amnesia: "What are you still doing? Why don't you help your master up?"
Bitong was so angry that her hands trembled, so she had to lower her head to admit her mistake and help Cheng Xueyan up.
"I'm afraid today's screen sparrow selection sister..." Cheng Xueyao bit her lips with some embarrassment: "But it's all about those girls. There's no need for my sister to worry about it. It's better to take care of her health. My sister is going to take a step ahead. There is still something to do over there. Say goodbye!"
Bitong gritted his teeth and said, "It's all the maidservants' careless..."
Cheng Xueyan rubbed her forehead and felt dizzy with pain, which seemed to be swollen higher.
"Tell me, they... we always played such games when we were young?"
"Is the girl stupid?" Bitong was anxious and didn't care about the following crimes: "What kind of game is that? It is clearly..."
She stopped: "I don't know if the girl remembers a scar on Mr. Kuang's hand..."
Huo Zichen......
I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't heard his flute sound for a long time. She seemed to have forgotten him, but by Bitong's sudden reminder, her heart beat like being hit by something.
She didn't know if Bitong's hand holding her arm felt her pulse accelerating.
She hurriedly avoided her eyes.
Scar...and the scar on Zichen's hand...
... His fingers are as slender as bamboo. She had never seen a man give birth to such a beautiful hand, but unfortunately she took it back before she could see it clearly, but when her eyes were shaking, she seemed to see a crescent-shaped trace at the tiger mouth of that hand...
"It was an early summer four years ago. The girl was sitting on the swing in Xinyuan, and the second girl and the third girl were playing by the lake. I don't know what's going on. Suddenly something flew straight to the girl's eyes... The girl was thinking about things at that time, but she didn't find it. At this time, a man waved his hand like falling from the sky... that thing fell at the girl's feet. The maidservant saw that it was an extremely sharp stone with a trace of blood on it. Looking at it again, the second girl and the third girl stood not far away. The third girl still held the slingshot in her hand. Seeing us looking over, she hurriedly stuffed the slingshot into the second girl's hand, shouting, 'She asked me to fight, and then ran away. The second girl was so scared that she threw the slingshot on the ground and only said, 'It's not me, not me', girl. He didn't answer, but took a veil and wrapped the man's hand. That man was... Mr. Kuang..."
Bitong should also feel Zichen's thoughts about her girl. After a pause, Fang continued to say, "But this matter is not over, and somehow she became a girl who didn't let the third girl play on the swing and pushed the third girl down. The eldest son went to them to argue... What the maidservant said could not be believed. At that time, only the second girl was present, but she cried like tears and refused to say a word of justice..."
Bitong helped Cheng Xueyan sit on the embroidery pier, and then looked carefully at her eyebrows, bursting with tears of anger.
Cheng Xueyan glanced at the mirror and felt that it was not serious, but it was just a few blood spots, which was a little swollen. She asked Bitong to immediately go to the kitchen and order someone to boil an egg, wrap it in a veil, and roll back and forth in the swollen place.
After half a column of incense, the swelling almost disappeared, but the blood spots were still a little conspicuous.
Cheng Xueyan was not in a hurry. She dipped a soft pen in the color and drew a osmanthus flower, and the red dot happened to be the stamen of osmanthus.
Check to make sure that no one can find any flaws, and then get up and walk out.
"What is the girl going to do?" Bitong hurriedly stopped.
"Aren't you going to participate in the screen selection? It's almost there..."
"Girl, wait," Bitong quickly circled in front of Cheng Xueyan: "Can't you see it yet? Just now, the three girls... She did it on purpose and didn't want the girl to go to that screen to choose..."
"Why? It's not me who is performing on the stage..."
"Girl," Bitong stamped her feet: "The girl is usually smart, why is she confused at the critical moment? Who will look at the three girls when you sit there?
Cheng Xueyan suddenly realized that it was funny, but in this case, she really didn't want her to be like this.
——————————————————————
The annual screen selection is located in Tangli Garden.
Tangliyuan is an outer courtyard of Chengfu, which is spacious and has no walls. It is at the intersection, so that it can attract passers-by to watch the performance at any time.
Although it is an outer courtyard, it also has beautiful scenery. There is a special platform for performing arts, surrounded by green trees, mixed with triangular flowers, early chrysanthemums and wild geese that open this season... It is lively, and the bright colors add a little festive.
How tall is the table? It is oval. Like the stage of the listening tower, it is a wooden structure. There is a high shelf behind the stage, which is well decorated. The women of Chengfu and the gentlemen of Guanjuguan sit in it, judging the girls' performance and awarding prizes at any time. It is not a valuable thing, but it is a kind of affirmation that the winner of this prize will marry into a top rich family in the future. In fact, this move also expands its reputation for Guanjuguan to attract business. Imagine, who doesn't want to see his daughter on the stage?
When Cheng Xueyan arrived, she saw several ice-striped mantles rolling down from the top of the high shelf, covering the viewing platform tightly. I can't help sneering, so that no one will see the situation inside, and I don't know what Cheng Xueyao is worried about.
There have been cars and sedanes slowly driving into Tangli Garden, including the families of girls and invited visiting officials and nobles, but there are also idle people entering at any time. As long as they don't come to make trouble, the family will not drive them away. What they want is that there are many people to be lively, and this will attract more people or... silver. In fact, with the strength of Chengfu, he could have cleaned up this place properly a few days ago, but he had to work in front of everyone. The intention is self-evident.
However, the audience is a little miserable. They have to sit in a semicircular platform and be at least ten feet away from the table. Although only tables and chairs are expensive enough, Chengfu seems to be a little inconsiderate when exposed to the sun, but those guests have foresight and have servants standing aside with various umbrellas. It seems that they have long been used the rules here.
After only a while, the stage was full, and there were passers-by who joined at any time. The three floors outside were crowded, and the cool autumn suddenly became a little stuffy.
When Cheng Xueyan picked up the steps and walked into the curtain, Cheng Xueyao said something with Cheng Xueman on the edge of the sandalwood red rock. As soon as she appeared, the grapes held in her mouth suddenly fell down. She half opened her mouth, stared at Cheng Xueyan for a moment, twisted her neck and hummed softly.
