Da Suining

Chapter 48 The girl in green
The noble ladies were either shaking handkerchiefs or pinching fruits, talking with smiles on the corners of their mouths.

"What's the use of being beautiful, why don't you just go to the toilet?"

"It's so stinky, it's like a spanking bug lying on your feet, so it's her."

The crowd laughed again.

Princess Guo coughed, and everyone stopped.

Another round of dim sum was served, including almond bergamot, flower cup longan, tea and food sliced ​​with a knife, nine-layer cake, red bright fragrance, and free-spirited roast. A row of six maidservants each served a plate in the shape of a flower.

The ladies thanked them, but didn't taste much, these things are not unusual for them.

A little eunuch ran in and said that the eldest prince had practiced riding and shooting hard recently, so he couldn't come. Princess Chaoyang accompanied her mother to watch, so she also didn't come.

Princess Guo nodded, indicating that she understood.

The etiquette has come, and those who can't come, follow their wishes.

"Since the morning sun does not come, there is no need to wait." Princess Guo told the kitchen to serve meals. After the meal, the ladies can guess Chinese characters, recite poems, or draw some pictures, and go boating on the lake. Feeding a fish, playing polo, and practicing throwing pots are also possible.

The noble girls in Qingcheng are not as tightly controlled as the previous dynasty. They are not allowed to show their faces, they are not allowed to talk to young men before marriage, they are not allowed to study, and they have to bind their feet.

These noble women can read and write, can weave and mend, can play the pipa, stroke the guzheng, insert flowers, and make poems.

There are many talents, so they play a set.

Another six maidservants began to serve meals.

Pan-fried lying chicken, flower-cooked quail, red and white duck with bird’s nest, kung pao hare, barbecued pork breast, seven-star fish ball soup, yam with cherry meat, fragrant apricot condensed honey... Various dishes are placed on the round table, and there are more dishes in the back They came from the kitchen one after another.

One crop after another, the mothers-in-law who passed the dishes were all lined up ten feet away.

Xiang Yan went to Gong's room and wandered around the garden by herself.

The weather is getting hotter, and the flowers in Changxinhou Mansion are blooming one by one.

From a distance, it seemed that Xiang Suining was being supported by Ming Zhu coming into the garden, Xiang Yan hurriedly hid behind a rockery.

Dazzling lake water, slender figure, and somewhat sickly appearance, isn't it Xiang Suining?
"I didn't expect that she was unscathed, and she was still thinking about coming to the banquet. I underestimated her." Xiang Yan angrily grabbed a goldenrod that stood in front of her.

"Third Miss, don't be angry. Even if Second Miss attends the banquet, it doesn't hurt her. How can her appearance compare with Third Miss?" Chun Yu hurriedly gave Xiangyan a sigh of relief.

"You still understand me. How could I put the second girl in my eyes, and I don't look at her like that." Xiangyan put her hand on her forehead, the sun was a little sunburned, she didn't expect the sun to be so strong after the rain, her forehead was so dark It's hot.

Chunyu wanted to help her back to the banquet.

But Xiang Yan looked at the opera garden: "It is said that many noble sons have come here today, some of them are higher than my family, but men and women are different, so we can't see each other. I don't know what the noble sons in Qingcheng look like."

Thinking of the sons of the Duke's family, and even the princes from the palace, Xiangyan's heart would jump out.

If you have anything to gossip about with those noble girls, take a look at which noble son is suave, well-proportioned, and the most important thing is that the family has money.

Since you are here this time, why not take a look at the opera garden while there is no one around.

Xiang Yan secretly walked towards the theater with her feet pressed down.

If anyone asks, just say you got lost.

The theater garden of Changxinhou Mansion is built on a high platform, facing the nine-curved corridor, with three or four steps up and down.

In summer, the opera troupe is invited to sing here, and everyone sits around the water pavilion, enjoying cold food and listening to the opera, which is the most enjoyable.

It's not yet summer, and the lotus leaves in the pond are already showing their heads. A dozen mandarin ducks and wild ducks are swimming leisurely on the water. Two or three bluebirds rushed down from the sky and landed in the reeds. With some water on his mouth, he flew into the air again.

At the end of the Jiuqu corridor, there is the sound of singing.

A group of teenagers in white or green robes gathered around, as if they were feeding fish.

The nine-curved corridor looks like three or four feet across the water surface, and the goldfish jump up, and the water can splash on the wood of the corridor.

These goldfish are fat and strong, there are at least hundreds or thousands of them, swimming in the water, like a ray of sunlight, the water surface is all red.

"Look, these fish like to eat the food I feed the most." A boy said.

"Goldfish can't talk, we just have to believe what you say." Another boy laughed.

Everyone laughed.

A girl in green clothes came from the laughter, she seemed to have fed the fish, and was being served by the maidservant to wipe her hands.

Her black hair was draped over her shoulders, and gardenias were embroidered on the cloud shoulders of her neckline. The gardenias were embroidered as if they were alive, and her skin was as white as the gardenias, as if she was pampered.

Her walking posture is very dignified, with her hands clasped, she has an aura that strangers should not get close to.

Whether she looks good or not, Xiangyan doesn't have time to look at her, anyway, she won't be as good-looking as Xiangyan.

Xiangyan just wanted to get closer to see those young masters.

Walking hurriedly, the steps were heavier, and the Jiuqu corridor was still wet, so her embroidered shoes slipped over and stepped on the skirt of the girl in green.

The girl in green wore a cold face, but said nothing.

On the contrary, the servant girl who was following her refused to agree: "Where did you come from, this slave is blind for nothing."

Xiang Yan has been spoiled since she was a child, and she can go to the moon for nine days. Where has she been scolded like this?At that time, I wanted to slap this desperate maid and throw her into the water.Since those sons and brothers are far away, they just smiled and scolded: "My father is the second grade of Qingcheng, but you, where did you come from?"

The maid stretched out her hand to slap each other, but the girl in green lowered her eyes, and the maid didn't dare to move.

The girl in green stared at a splash of muddy water on her skirt: "You stepped on my skirt."

"I stepped on it, and I didn't mean it."

"Apologize."

"Apologize?" Xiang Yan lowered her head and smiled, but the words in her mouth were ugly: "If you step on you, you will be stepped on. Whoever told you not to have dog eyes, you must block my way."

The maid jumped up, and saw that a slap was about to hit Xiangyan's face. This slap was so powerful that if she slapped it down, Xiangyan would definitely vomit old blood.

It is better to strike first, and to suffer later.Xiang Yan has always understood this truth.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and gave the maidservant a crisp slap.

Beating a dog depends on the owner, Xiangyan doesn't understand.

In the effort of these few words, she has already seen the girl in green.

She doesn't have a single piece of expensive jewelry on her body, and her makeup is not outstanding. The key is that clothes, which were obviously bought by her family's Xiangfu with money, so why did they get on her?Could it be that Xiang Suining took this clothes as a favor?Perhaps this green-clothed girl is Xiang Suining's friend.

What else could be worthwhile?
The most important thing is that she came from those young people. She really has no shame and no rules. Is she trying to steal someone from her, the daughter of a second-rank official family?
