Chapter 529 The noble daughter of the two countries, the battle of etiquette

On the day of the spring banquet, the Duke of Wei, who was opposite the door, naturally came first. Because the prince would host the reception of male guests in Guan Suiyuan today, Yijing went to Rongxi Hall early and personally welcomed the elders and sisters of his mother's family. Although she saw San Niang change her plain clothes for the past year, she finally restored her bright and fresh dress. Thinking that she should have come out of the haze of Aunt Cui's death, she didn't pay much attention to it at first.

After talking for a while, guests came. Naturally, the concubines of the family, such as Yichen, would naturally greet Xiao Xie to help treat the guests, and there was not much leisure to pay attention to her third sister.

The garden of the house of King Chu's Mansion occupies a very spacious area. From the east garden of Guan Suiyuan*jiaomen to the north, it is connected to the West Garden. Naturally, there are several connected lakes. Along the lake, there are corridors along the lake, and the pavilions and platforms are winding paths are secluded. All kinds of fragrant plants are scattered, and the scenery is wide and very beautiful. Xiuya.

When entertaining guests, it is natural to invite the actors of the opera troupe to help them. The luncheon in the back house did not take long. After the banquet table was withdrawn, everyone first followed the old princess to sit and listen to the play in the theater set up in Beiyuan, while tasting tea and gossiping.

Xiao Xie is very busy entertaining guests from all over the world. Jiang Yue has always been like a decoration, only sitting next to Mrs. Jianning - this is also a way out. At this time, most of the noblewomen in Kyoto regarded Jiang Yue as a laughing stock, and their attitude was very obvious. Even if Jiang Yue wanted to catch up with long sleeves and dance, she would not appreciate it. The main task of today is to entertain Princess Jin Yuan. Although the stage is lively at this time, you can see the bright and colorful flowers in the inner garden. Many young daughters-in-law and little women can't help it and show careless. There are also those who admire Princess Jin Yuan, or are jealous or curious about it, because it is gone. The constraints at the palace banquet cherished the opportunity to have close contact with the princess. Since arriving here, they have scrambled to sit around the princess and gossip, or listen to gossip.

In fact, although it is rare to listen to the traditional program of the traditional program of spring banquets, most of the people who love this item are only the old princess, Princess Shou Taifei and other elders, accompanied by elderly daughters-in-law such as Huang and Mrs. Wei. The little daughter-in-law and the eldest girls will probably sit for a moment and enjoy the scenery together, or find people who are compatible with each other. Taste tea in a pavilion, or take a boat tour of the lake under the arrangement of the master's family, but any mansion with conditions must be arranged to do this.

The royal palace of Chu has built a horse farm like the Duke of Wei. The project has long been written on the invitation post, and it is also the only project that women's families participate in with male guests today. Many little women have obtained the permission of their elders and come with riding clothes and ball sticks. For example, Su Lian and Ping Le are especially good at this skill, and even mounts are early. Be prepared and take him to the horse farm of the King of Chu's Mansion.

The beautiful scenery naturally couldn't help looking at the people. First, they sent the spring evening back to Guan Suiyuan to ask when the banquet would end - the male guests must drink at the banquet, and the time spent on the banquet was much longer than that of the women.

The host family is sitting in a place with no other arrangements for the time being, and the guests will naturally not take the lead in getting up. Xiao Xie originally had arrangements, but she is busy socializing with the court ladies at this time, but she doesn't realize that because Princess Jin Yuan is present, some guests are much earlier than the ordinary "heart horse".

Yichen also found that the exchanges here were gradually increasing, and most people's minds were not on the stage. Seeing that Xiao Xie was busy, Jiang Yue could not count on it. He thought that although he was a guest, on the one hand, he was the eldest sister of the scenery, and on the other hand, he was also a patriarchal wife. "the anti-guest" could also be said. After going, he said to Yingjing, "You can arrange it. There is me here to help the general's wife. Don't worry."

Naturally, Yijing would not be polite with the eldest sister. After thanking him, he still met Xiao Xie and told several stewards led by Shan to arrange them one by one. Once the free activities began, they could not be separated from the servants and maidservants everywhere. There was an accident, and then the old princess was informed.

Although the eldest princess does not like to listen to the play, on such an occasion, she is also an elder. Of course, she will not get together with young daughters-in-law and girls. Seeing that her granddaughter she is cared for in the palm of her seems to have the demeanor of being a housewife. She is no longer more leisurely than in the boudoir, slightly distressed, but more gratifying, so With the old princess's words "Go" and said with a smile, "With us accompanying the old princess, don't worry, Jing, just treat the guests."

and other arrangements were made, and Yijing invited Princess Jinyuan to visit the garden together. Six, seven and eight golden flowers of the Guogongfu, including Eleven Niang, Peng Lan and other Jinyuan's fans responded enthusiastically, as well as several young daughters-in-law such as Liao of Zhenfu, who made friends with Yijing, or were also curious about many matters of Xiliang, followed. The group left the table, and the rest of the little women couldn't sit still. Some followed the princess to enjoy the scenery, and some daughters-in-law who did not want to join in the fun. They made friends with each other. Under the arrangement of the palace stew, or went up to the high pavilion to enjoy the scenery, or in groups of three or five to find another quiet place to talk, or traveled in the lake, or fished themselves. I'm happy.

Yijing accompanied the princess for a while. When she arrived at an open bar in the cherry blossom forest, she noticed that Sanniang did not follow her and quietly pulled Si Niang to ask.

"Today, the third sister has been talking with Concubine Ning and Bai. When I came out, I specifically asked her. She only said that she was familiar with all parts of the Royal Palace and didn't want to hang out." Si Niang said.

Yijing knew that San Niang's "heart" for the third prince in the past. She heard that her words in front of Concubine Ning were heavy. On the one, because she was really inseparable, and on the other, she also wanted to specially tell Guan Suiyuan to pay attention to the access control, but she was worried that there were many people today and invited male guests, in case the person with intentions take advantage of the banquet of the King of Chu's Mansion. What kind of "private meeting"? There is a clear sky and Huidu in the front court, and there are two sisters Xie and Yang in the back, which should be unimpeded.

Beautiful scenery was relieved and heard the princess of Nanyang ask, "Princess, I heard that the Xiliang nobles can't take concubines. Is that true?"

As soon as this came out, most of the young daughters-in-law present were bright-eyed, but more of them were women who were still waiting to get married. Even if they were open-minded and cheerful, they were a little embarrassed to touch such topics in public. Although they wanted to know, they all looked down and pretended to ignore them, just like Anran and so on. The thin-skinned daughter blushed early, and even Qi Niang turned her head to look at the scenery outside, staring at a butterfly with good eyes.

Yi Jing sighed that Princess Nanyang still restrained in front of Princess Kang. Once she left the "efather", her reckless style was undoubtedly obvious. No wonder Ping Le liked this sister-in-law the most.

Listening to Jin Yuan's affirmative reply, Princess Nanyang sighed: "Speaking of this alone, Xiliang is better than our Dalong. He is so jealous that it is legal and aboveboard. Unlike Dalong, how many virtuous women die."

Jin Yuan saw the cramped women present and realized that in the country of Dalong, the boudoir women should not touch such topics and quietly shifted: "I think that the etiquette of the past dynasties has been particularly harsh on women from the Ming Dynasty to the Eastern Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of Dalong, the old system has been restored, compared with the Eastern Ming Dynasty. It's finally enlightened." This is to turn the topic of taking a concubine into etiquette, and the daughters of the boudoir can also participate in the discussion, which really eases the embarrassment of the owner of the scenery.

The imperial concubine was very appreciative and smiled enthusiastically at Jin Yuanbao. She was about to echo a few words, but she was preempted by others.

This is the amazing attempt of Fanglin Yan. Although she won the lead with a national peony picture, she was overwhelmed by the princess's painting skills.

She is the niece of Mrs. Qin's mother's family. She is a veritable boudoir. She has always been conceited and despised the rudeness of Xun Gui. Because of her jealousy of Jin Yuan, she did not dare to make a bad thing at the palace banquet that day. It was easy to look forward to the spring banquet of the King of Chu and did not have many scruples - it was a private banquet, not a palace banquet, even if she quarreled with Jin Yuan. , it is purely because there are differences in opinions, which is not rude. In addition, Concubine Qin has always been dissatisfied with the royal palace. If she can subdue Jin Yuan with her own arguments at the spring banquet of the royal palace, which will embarrasss Princess Xiliang. When others talk about it, there are also the royal palace of Chu.

Shen Sanniang can't wait to be ashamed, so today she deliberately gathered a few fans and followed the concubine in order to provoke.

I only heard her say with a smile: "It is said that Princess Jinyuan is well-known and well-known. She is well known, but she is familiar with the etiquette of all dynasties, but only the little woman is different from what the princess saw... In terms of the boudoir, it is still in the former Ming and Dongming dynasties that it is considered to be neat and strict. From the past, the women of the family strictly abided by etiquette and religion. In the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the domineering and domineering daughter was far Now."

After saying that, Shen Sanniang looked at Pingle with some point, and her eyes turned to Jin Yuan.

Ping Le was furious. Although she was "unlearned and incompetent", she also knew that the domineering four words were pointing at her, and she was about to refute, but her arm was gently pressed, followed by another person beside her, but the scene sat down beside her.

Shen Sanniang said angrily, "I think it's also because the customs of Xiliang and Dalong are different. Although the people of Xiliang are deeply influenced by the cultural etiquette of the Han people, there are still differences after all, which causes the princess to think so."

At the beginning of the founding of Dalong, there was a fierce conflict between the family and the noble woman on etiquette norms. This is really a continuous disagreement. I Jingshen felt that there was no need to argue, because it was obvious that the family had been assimilated by the nobles, that is, the first family guard family, and no longer used the harshness of Dongming to teach their daughters, let alone these "post- If it is really measured by Dongming's boudoir, I'm afraid that most of the daughters of the family are not polite and will be criticized by the secular world.

Jin Yuan did not want to pay attention to Shen Sanniang's provocation, but since the other party raised the level to the difference between the two countries, she mocked that the people of Xiliang did not know etiquette. As Princess Xiliang, she could not swallow her anger.

The princess raised her bright eyes slightly. Today, she only went to the private mansion for a banquet and did not dress up. Instead, she wore the narrow-sleeved short jacket that Xiliang noble women often wear to the banquet, with a tight waist and green silk braids. It is very different from Dalong's beautiful dress. It is not like the softness of the banquet in the forest banquet, but shows a heroic temperament.

Gan Er smiled and said, "It seems that the little lady is well aware of Dongming's etiquette and believes that she is committed to it. If she dares to ask the little lady, she can be detained in the inner house without seeing a foreign man like the restraint of Dongming's boudoir?"

Pingle was pressed on the chair by Yijing. At this time, he was already unbearable and said, "Come on, I met Shen San a few days ago and the Langjun of the Lan family riding horses in the western suburbs. I could hear your laughter two or 30 steps apart."

"Originally, it was with the permission of the elders, and the two families of Shen and Lan are also good..." The person who argued for Shen Sanniang, who changed his color, was one of the fans today. Yijing looked kind and should also be the daughter of a family, but she couldn't remember who her name was for a moment, but she did not intend to interrupt. She believed that Jin Yuan would not be this. Help the shallow and proud woman to make it difficult.

"I was curious for a moment and read the Legend of the Martyrs adapted by Dongming, and the story is really creepy." Jin Yuan said: "Different from before the Ming Dynasty, the world's women should have virtues, and chastity is only one of them, and motherhood, wisdom are the most important. Since the Ming Dynasty, scholars have pushed the doctrine and followed the theory of 'preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires' to restrain their virtues. Later, they gradually evolved to be harsh on women's morality and believed that they were 'starved. Death is small and disjoiculity is big. Women are required to put chastity first. I really think it has reached the extreme and unkind degree.

"For example, the daughter of an official was still a child. After receiving the food handed over by the male servant of the family, she was informed by her father that she actually starved her young daughter to death. Another woman did not meet her husband after marriage. Her husband returned from afar. Before she came home, she saw the beautiful woman beside the road, so she admired her and talked to her. Unexpectedly, she was her father. The mother is the wife he married. The woman did not know her husband and fled angrily, but when she learned that the person who talked to her was her husband, she was ashamed and committed suicide. The reason was that she thought that her behavior was wrong, which attracted others to be frivolous.

"Moreover, he cut his eyes and cut his nose because he was seen by a foreign man's face; when he went out in trouble, he was rescued by a foreign man, and he cut himself off because he touched his arm..." Jin Yuan shook his head: "This is the chaste martyr who pushed the ghost in the Eastern Ming Dynasty. The little lady asked herself whether she could be efficient?"

Ping Le saw that Shen Sanniang and others were speechless, and his heart was very happy. He didn't fall into the well and asked when he would wait. He asked with a sneer, "Shen San, since you have to abide by Dongming's boudoir, of course, you should put Zhenlie first. Don't find any excuse for the good family and the approval of the elders. There are many people in the west, and many people see your appearance. Do you want to dig out or do you want to Cut your nose?"
