Chapter 64 Jiang Jiawenhui 2
"That's true." Mrs. Huang agreed and looked at the crowd and laughed, "I haven't seen anyone in the Duke of Yongguo Mansion for many years. I heard that Mrs. Yongguo is a girl of the Yang family in southern Sichuan. The Yang family in southern Sichuan has a good reputation. Ask her to come over and have a look?"
Everyone nodded, and Second Grandma Xu quickly went to greet Li Yunshang in person. Princess Jiang Jun looked at Mrs. Huang and joked, "I'm going to find fault with your words. Isn't Sister Tian from the Duke of Yongguo?"
"Speaking of it, Sister Tian is serious and the direct branch of the Duke of Yongguo, but like Mrs. Huang, I think that the Duke of Yongguo is the Duke of Yongguo and Sister Tian is Sister Tian." Mrs. Yuan took over and smiled. Mrs. Huang smiled quickly and said, "That's it!" Princess Jiang was about to laugh again, and Second Grandma Xu had already brought Li Yunshang and Xu Jie over.
When Princess Jiang saw Xu Jie holding Li Yunshang's hand, she wink at Grandma Xu and motioned that she did not need to introduce her. She looked at Xu Jie and smiled and said, "A Jie has made new friends, and she doesn't introduce us?"
Xu Jie smiled shyly and pulled Li Yunshang and said in a soft voice, "This is the third lady of the Duke of Yongguo. Her name is Yunshang, Yunzhi's clothes, and she also loves Qin." Xu Jie paused and pulled Li Yunshang to Mrs. Yuan first and introduced her, "This is Mrs. Yuan, Shan's second aunt and Ke's second aunt."
Mrs Yuan laughed and pointed to Xu Jie and Mrs. Huang and said with a smile, "It's the first time I heard someone introduce me like this. Look, the children, who are our elders." With that, he waved to Li Yunshang, "Come and let me have a look." Li Yunshang came forward slightly nervously and bent her knees again. Mrs. Yuan stretched out her hand and pulled her up and smiled, "You don't have to be so many gifts. How old are you?"
"17." Li Yunshang hurriedly replied,
"Has the mother-in-law agreed?"
"Not yet." Li Yunshang's shy face turned red, and although her voice was low, she could also be heard clearly. Princess Jiangjun smiled and said, "Look at you, how can you come up and ask her if she has found her mother-in-law's house? She is not afraid to scare them away. Come and see, I'm Ake's mother." Princess Jiang followed Xu Jie's routine and introduced herself. Mrs. Yuan let go of Li Yunshang. Li Yunshang had been famous for the princess of Jiang for a long time. She bowed her knees and was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.
Princess Jiangjun stretched out her hand and pulled her, looked at her carefully and said with a smile, "It's two or three points like Sister Tian, and she also seems to be gentle."
While Princess Jiang was talking, the corner of her eyes saw that the maid waiting behind Mrs. Yuan had taken the meeting gift. She took off a red gold embedded bracelet on her wrist and put it on Li Yunshang's hand and smiled, "I didn't expect you to come today and didn't prepare a gift. You can wear this bracelet." Li Yunshang hurriedly thanked Princess Jiang, and Mrs. Yuan also took over a white jade forbidden step handed over by the girl and said with a smile, "This white jade forbidden step, their sisters have it all, and you can also take one to play with."
"This is Mrs. Gao, my second aunt." Xu Jie continued to introduce that Mrs. Gao did not talk much with Li Yunshang and ordered the girl to take a purse for Li Yunshang.
"This is Mrs. Cui, Sister Shan's mother." Xu Jie saw Li Yunshang thanking her and pulled her to Mrs. Cui to introduce her. Mrs. Cui pulled Li Yunshang and looked at it carefully, took branches and flowers from her head and put them on Li Yunshang's head. Xu Jie pulled Li Yunshang to Mrs. Huang, let go of Li Yunshang, snuggled up to her mother, Mrs. Huang and smiled and said, "This is my mother." With that, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Huang and smiled and said, "Mother, Sister Yunshang is also good at playing the piano. Her piano was learned from Mr. Shui."
"Really?" Mrs. Huang was surprised and said that the princess of Jiang County looked at Li Yunshang clearly. How could the Duke of Yongguo afford to offer water for worship? This must be a blessing for Sister Tian. Li Yunshang was embarrassed and said, "It's not something I learned from Mr. Shui. It was only when my fifth sister moved back before the Spring Festival that I was lucky to get a few words of advice from Mr. Shui." Princess Jiang's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was a smile at the corners of her mouth, but she was honest and not as annoying as her mother.
Mrs Huang asked Li Yunshang a few more gossips, and also took off a bracelet to reward her, and then sent Xu Jie and her two to play.
Across the lake, as soon as the scholar Xu's lecture was over, Leng Mingsong stood in a remote corner and carefully tasted the subtleties of Xu's lecture. Xu Sihai hurried over and pulled him away: "Hurry up, my uncle wants to see you, he has to leave in a moment." Leng Mingsong was pulled all the way in by Xu Sihai, and his nervous face turned pale, and the success or failure was only here.
Jiang Hong has been taken by his uncle Jiang Shangshu until the scriptures were over and Xue was sent away. People began to gossip, write poems and listen to music in twos and threes. Only then did they have time. They hurriedly found Xu Sihai and Leng Mingsong and looked at them and asked urgently, "How's it going? Did you agree?"
Leng Mingsong was about to speak when Xu Sihai grabbed him, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Jiang Hong, "Don't talk about it, let him guess!" Jiang Hong looked up and down at Leng Mingsong, reached out and patted him again and smiled, "Just looking at Dalang's happiness, it must be done!"
"Sir asked me to go and study with him for a few days tomorrow, but it can't be regarded as a success." Leng Mingsong smiled clearly. Xu Sihai knocked on Leng Mingsong with a folding fan and smiled and said, "You just don't have a chance. Are you afraid that you can't get into the eyes of your husband? In a few days, your husband will have to make you a proud disciple! Jiulang and I have to step back.
Jiang Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed to a water pavilion that stretched into the lake and smiled, "Let's go there to talk and enjoy the scenery. There are five kinds of lotus flowers in this lake, and there is a water lily planted in front of the water pavilion, which is very elegant."
The two responded with a smile and followed Jiang Hong into the water pavilion. Xu Sihai stood in the front porch of the water pavilion with a folding fan, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked carefully at the opposite side of the lake and asked, "I heard that the men and women of the Jiang family in Huaiyang have been studying since childhood. I remember that Jiulang has a sister. Have you made poetry today? I didn't notice it."
"The little sister has read a lot of books, but," Jiang Honghun smiled carelessly and said, "She reads useless idle books, not to mention poetry, and even feels embarrassed for the pair."
"Oh?" Xu Sihai was very surprised and said with a smile, "My little sister is the same. She said that it's okay to make poems if there is no rhyme. Every time I look at the lyrics, I have to marvel at it. 'How can you make it up?' Listen to it and make it up."
"When the little sister arrived in the capital, the happiest thing was to make a few like-minded friends. In the past, in the Huaiyang old house, several cousins in the family were good at poetry, but she couldn't even match the pair. When she came here, she made friends with the second wife of the Nanning County Palace, as well as the Li family and the Yu family. In addition to the Yu family, the two They can't even get it right. They also say that the real famous people are romantic and don't need to use those poems and words to fill their talents. Listen to this. Today, I heard that they received the transcribed messenger. It seems that my little sister and your sister can also speak. Jiang Hong laughed.
"Can't poetry? Yes, women's reading is just self-cultivation. With this poem, it is enough to recite and appreciate it, and there is no need for them to take the imperial examination. Xu Sihai didn't know what she was thinking. A person seemed to talk to himself to the lake. Such a beautiful and refined beauty, not good at poetry... It must be what she said. She stepped on the sunset glow all the way from the forest. There was no vulgarity, and naturally followed the fresh birth from the woods. What kind of poems and words do you want for such a beautiful woman?!
Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai stood side by side and looked at the other side in a daze. Leng Mingsong stood alone two or three steps behind and looked at the opposite side of the lake. He wanted to move forward, but half of his feet but shrank back. He and she were farther away than the lake.
Not far from the water pavilion, in a high warm pavilion, the fourth prince sat outside the door of the pavilion near the lake, slowly shaking the folding fan, and looking at the lake and listening to the music. The fifth prince crossed his legs and comfortably tilted on the wide circle chair. He was talking nonsense with Jiang Dalang, the eldest son of Jiang Shangshu, Ye Shusheng, the son of Dongyang County, Lin Yangfeng, the son of the king of Nanning County, and Jiang Zhengyuan, the son of the Marquis of Linchuan.
Ye Shusheng listened to the crowd absent-mindedly, but kept looking at the fourth prince on the lake. Qin Yu, the fifth prince, stood up, shook to the side of the fourth prince, followed his eyes and smiled at the lake and said, "The lotus flower of the lake in Jiang Shangshu's mansion is really well raised."
"Well, it's better than the lotus in the lake behind the breeze building." Qin Kun, the fourth prince, motioned the fifth prince Qin Yu to sit down and talk. The fifth prince moved his chair and sat down. He leaned back lazily and smiled, "This is different. The lotus flowers in this lake are raised to see, and the lotus flowers in the back lake of Qingfeng Tower are raised for food. The lotus seeds in the lake are not as good as those in the back lake of Qingfeng Tower."
"To raise lotus flowers is to eat!" The fourth prince withdrew his eyes, turned his head to look at the fifth prince, and shook his head with tears and laughter. The fifth prince smiled carelessly and said, "Men and women, people's desire to eat. Speaking of this, the donkey meat soup made in their house is really delicious, and the roasted cabbage is also good. These two are the best."
"If you can get your praise, it seems that Jiang's two kinds of food will be famous in the capital." The fourth prince laughed, and the fifth prince proudly patted his fan and smiled, "I dare not say it. I still have a little bit of understanding of this food. Let me tell you, most of these delicious food are in the shabby alleys. They are really hotels such as Fanlou and Huixianlou. On the contrary, they are common people and make the same. It's not good to pick out, but there is no aura. If you want to be a real eater, you have to have the ability to find those unknown best food, which is not easy.
