The beauty of the lady

Chapter 103 The Evil Etiquette (3)
"It's also my honor to make Miss San like it."

"Sister Zhou, don't be self-effacing." Donnie Yen's curled eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and she blinked non-stop. Suddenly, her expression became richer. She grabbed her hand and held it, looking at the bright red dress. , exclaimed: "Sister Zhou, your begonia embroidery is so beautiful, which embroiderer made it? And this material, doesn't it look like Yunjin?"

Zhou Mei was so excited by the enthusiasm and exclamation that she almost didn't touch the tea in hand, but Yin Yan had a sharp eye and quick hands, and moved the teacup away dangerously.

Donnie Yen was about to say that she was a little emotional, but she heard her say: "This material is from the Western Regions, and it is available in my silk and satin shop. It is feather gauze satin, which is a little different from the feather satin of our Great Yan Dynasty. , which is mixed with goose down and duck down, it will feel lighter and softer but warmer when worn on the body, and the color is much brighter than the material I am facing. As for the embroidery on it, I did it myself. "

"Really? She's so beautiful. Sister Zhou is so amazing." Donnie Yen looked enviously at her clothes and the begonia flowers with light blue in the white, "Sister Zhou is so beautiful in red."

"Miss Zhou's outline is very bright, and it really suits the colorful clothes." Zhen Qingyuan said while stroking his sister's head.

It's just a pity, not to mention my own family background, even though my mother is also the eldest lady of the Chengbeihou Mansion, anyone with a wink in the capital knows that it is also a situation of divorce.

The most important thing is this appearance. It is normal for our wives to want to find a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law for their son, but if it is too gorgeous, it will become a disaster, so it is not advisable.

Now he is the heir of Dingguo Duke's mansion, he has a beautiful and virtuous wife by his side, and he also has two concubines, but when he sees Miss Zhou's appearance, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't care.

He is not an indulgent person who can do this, let alone a son of another family.

The appearance of Duke Anguo's mansion has attracted many people's attention to Zhou's mansion.

Although it is a merchant, it is another matter to stand behind the Anguo Mansion, which will invisibly improve the status of the Zhou Mansion a lot.

Moreover, since the new emperor came to the throne, although no one from the Xuan family has been promoted to an official position, he has gained the attention of the regent, and the son of An Guogong's mansion is gradually moving closer to the imperial city. This is something that everyone has already understood in their hearts.

And the most important point, she is the disciple of Mr. Chang Chunzi, that's enough.

Studying medicine is a low-level profession. Before the Great Yan Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty strictly prohibited three generations from participating in the imperial examinations. It was not restored until several hundred years after the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, because the founding ancestors of the Great Yan Dynasty were fighting on the battlefield. It was Changchun. Guan, the sixth generation of Guanzhu, saved his life. After the founding of the country, the status of doctors was improved.

But for women, practicing medicine is a matter of publicity and is not praised by the world, but she is different, she is just a disciple of Changchunzi, and she is already a shining imperial signboard.

It is said that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. There is a special case in the Yan Dynasty, that is, Yunwu Mountain, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Yan Dynasty. Those who fled into Yunwu Mountain, without the permission of the temple master, even the emperor was not allowed to enter at will.

In short, Zhou Mei is definitely a special woman in Yanjing.

"Brother, when you go back, can you also go to sister Zhou's silk shop and buy me some plumes of satin?" Zhen Zimeng tugged at Zhen Qingyuan's sleeve.

"Okay, let the procurement go when we get back."

"I want to go myself."

"Then when we go down the mountain, let's stop by." There will be a poetry meeting outside Ciyun Temple later, they will not participate, but they will always go to see if there are students with both literary and talent, in that case, they can pull it out earlier It has been a secret that all the major families have known well over the years.

He believed that Changle Hou Shizi and the Major General of Zhen Guo General's House also had the same purpose.

"The poetry competition is about to start, let's go and have a look." Yun Zhongren said, looking at the time.

Everyone nodded, then got up and walked together.

The Poetry Contest is a grand event held in Xishan Fenglin every year. It lasts for a month, from mid-September to mid-October. At the end, the one with the most outstanding poems and essays will be selected. Although it cannot replace the imperial examination, if it is the first to win here Fame is also beneficial to the imperial examination, at least it can make the examiners pay attention.

Even if the papers of the imperial examination are all sealed, your calligraphy and the pattern of your usual poems have not changed much. Even in the later imperial examination, you still have a certain advantage.

Therefore, the annual poetry competition can attract a lot of people to participate, and the onlookers are not only the children of the rich and powerful in Beijing, but also many daughters of everyone with different styles. The purpose is self-evident.

The story of a beautiful woman loving a gifted scholar in Romance of the West Chamber does not only exist in dramas, it is also very common in the present world.

It's just that Zhou Mei doesn't have any interest, they are all people who moan without illness, only literary talent and nothing else is considered, that would be too casual.

The venue for the poetry contest is next to the bamboo forest of Ciyun Temple. On the left are lush green bamboos, on the right are dazzling blood-like maple leaves, and in front is a waterfall hanging from the sky. The scenery is so spectacular that people will never forget to leave.

There are four pavilions with octagonal cornices scattered in the middle space, and tables and chairs have already been placed inside, because the pavilions are very spacious enough to place four sets of tables and chairs.

Because the identities of the people on their trip were all high except Zhou Mei, it was very easy to occupy a position, and they were called over by several people as soon as they showed up.

"Uncle?" Zhou Mei was slightly surprised. Isn't that elegant man in indigo blue clothes her family's uncle?
"Meier is here too, come and sit down. Mr. Zhen, Young General Yin is being polite, please forgive me for the inconvenience." Zhao Chengyin smiled leisurely.

"Master Zhao is polite, that's good."

"Cousin Shaoling, Cousin Yuanming, you are here too."

"Sit down, this is the snack made by my aunt, it's very good." Xuan Shaoling pulled the chair beside him to let her sit down, and pushed a plum cake in front of her, as well as well-preserved salted plums .

"Why didn't the sisters come?"

"The eldest princess is hosting a banquet in the mansion today, and they have all gone." Zhao Yuanming said with a smile.

"Isn't the eldest princess married far away?" She remembered something like this.

"The eldest princess married a great general who guarded the border outside the pass. Last year, her son-in-law died on the battlefield. Concubine Hui begged the Ninth Prince to let the eldest princess bring a pair of children to live in the capital." Yun Zhongren said.

The eldest princess is also really pitiful, because she is the first daughter of the first emperor, so she is very favored, and she also chose the son-in-law herself, and it is said that the relationship between husband and wife is very good.Although the eldest son-in-law is a killer on the battlefield, he dotes on the eldest princess very much, but because of the eldest princess's demeanor and style, she has some conflicts with her mother-in-law, so in the end her husband passed away, so she can only return to the capital to live alone. It is rumored that she will return to the capital. There are two children to bring, but the mother-in-law often quarreled with her, and finally the father-in-law agreed.
