Chapter 52

In fact, gatherings like the one initiated by Leng Wan are common in the upper class of the capital. Sometimes the girls themselves invite ladies from various families to gather together, and sometimes the mistresses invite them.

One is that there was really no entertainment in ancient times, and the ladies were afraid of the etiquette. Normally, the gates were not allowed to go out, and the second gate was not allowed to enter, but after being closed for a long time, they were afraid of getting sick, so they held these gatherings. , One is to let them have fun.

Second, the people who get together are all famous ladies, and they will all marry into rich and noble families in the future. We can get to know each other when we were young, and we can exchange handkerchiefs. After we get married, we will have more friends, build relationships, and help each other.

Because Jinniang is not welcomed by the eldest lady, she has never left the house. Even if there was a banquet in her house, she was shy in the past. She hid in her small courtyard and dared not go out. Therefore, people she knew It's really rare. The other girls of the same age have good friends, whisper and laugh with each other, and no one talks to her. At the age of five, she is just a junior high school student in her eyes, and she really has nothing to say to them, and she turns a blind eye to their occasional strange looks, with a calm smile on her face all the time

After a while, the maids laid out the pens and paper, and the girls began to paint and write poems. Jinniang is still very confident in her handwriting. Poetry is still an old routine and plagiarism. Fortunately, this is an empty dynasty, and no one goes Research the sources of her poems.

Leng Wan didn't come up with a question, and just let the ladies play their own games. Jin Niang wrote a seven-character quatrain very quickly, picking up a poem that Li Bai listened to the most.

As soon as Jinniang wrote, Leng Wan came over like a little butterfly, eagerly picked up her poem to read, her expression was slightly different, but her beautiful almond eyes soon smiled like a crescent moon : "The fourth sister of the Sun family's poems are indeed very good. This poem is magnificent and the artistic conception is heroic and free and easy. I didn't expect my sister to have such a mind, comparable to a man."

Hearing the princess' praise, the ladies didn't believe it, so they came over to look at it. One of them, Liu Ziling, the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhongqin's family, was pretty and handsome, with a tall figure and an orchid-like temperament. She was very beautiful, but a little The lonely self-admired arrogance was the last thing she paid attention to Jinniang. Now that she saw Jinniang's poems and words, she felt a little admiration in her beautiful eyes, and took her own poem and Jinniang's handwriting. The mother said: "Sister Sun family, you really live up to your talent. The poem is indeed very good. This is written by sister Yu. Please give me some pointers."

Jinniang read her poem twice, but it was a poem written by a little girl based on anecdotes in her boudoir. The words are too gorgeous, but they are also quite literary. , naturally getting close to her.

Leng Wanyuan is also a straightforward character. Now that she has seen Jinniang's talent with her own eyes, and Jinniang behaves neither humble nor overbearing, she is calm and elegant. At first glance, she is ordinary and unremarkable. After staying for a long time, she feels that the fourth girl is calm and introverted. , like a jar of fine wine that has been brewed for a long time, sweet and mellow, the more it smells, the more fragrant it becomes. Knowing that she has already discussed marriage with the second son of Prince Jane, she has a feeling of friendship.

For a while, the three girls became close, and the conversation became more casual. As lunch approached, Jinniang was a little worried about Yuniang. The sister-in-law actually came out together, if something happened to Yuniang when she went back, she would have to be told by the eldest lady again.

Then she said to Leng Wan: "My second elder sister has something wrong, I want to go and see her, I don't know the princess..."

Leng Wan smiled brightly, "It happens that I still have a lot of old works in my room. Eldest sister of the Liu family, fourth sister of the Sun family, and the others went to my room to have a look, and also gave pointers to my younger sister. There is still a good one in the room. Qin, I heard that my sisters are also good at playing the piano, why don't you play a piece of music for your sister to listen to."

Liu Ziling originally came here with the intention of making friends with the princess, now seeing that the princess is willing to invite her to her boudoir, how could she refuse, so she happily went with her.You know, women's boudoirs generally don't invite people in if they don't have a good handkerchief.

The place where they meet is in the Nuanming Pavilion in the inner courtyard of Prince Ning's Mansion. There is an artificial lake across from Leng Wan's boudoir. The three of them talked and laughed along the bluestone road beside the artificial lake, watching the garden while walking. scenery.

Not far in front of it was a small courtyard with two entrances. The three characters Jingmingxuan were hung on the gate. It was located beside a quiet lake. It was very elegant. Liu Ziling asked, "Is this the princess's boudoir?"

Leng Wan's face darkened, she quickened her pace, and said: "It's just an empty yard, my house is not here." It seemed that she really didn't want to talk about that yard.

After hearing this, Jinniang looked at the yard again, and saw that the autumn osmanthus was blooming inside, the fragrance was overflowing, and the green bamboos were green and secluded. How could it be an empty yard in such an elegant place? However, she has never been a busybody. People don't want to talk about it, so she doesn't ask.

As he was walking, someone shouted from behind, "Princess, princess."

The three of them stopped, only to see a girl running over in a hurry, and stopped panting, "Prince... the princess is here, Wangfei please go to the front to meet the guests."

Leng Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is it Sister Lan who is here?" She looked very happy, and turned her head to look at Jin Niang with some shame.

"Princess, hurry up, don't neglect Her Highness the Crown Princess, you don't have to worry about me, just ask a girl to take me to see the second sister." Jinniang said hastily.

Leng Zhuan smiled embarrassedly, "Sister is really a caring person, then go on your own, I will accompany you when I see Sister Lan later." She looked at Liu Ziling again.

Zi Ling's eyes were filled with anticipation, originally she only wanted to make friends with Princess Ning, but she didn't expect to have a chance to meet the Crown Princess, so she really wanted to go with Leng Wan, but she was too embarrassed to say so, so she said to Jin Niang: "Sister Sun , the princess has something to do..."

Of course Jinniang understood what she was thinking, but she was worried about Yuniang on the one hand, and on the other hand she was really not interested in seeing the rich and powerful, so she smiled and said, "Sister Liu, your personal maid, why didn't you bring it? I'm afraid I'm looking for it, sister, go to the front quickly, otherwise they should be in a hurry."

In fact, the three of them didn't let the girl who was close to them follow. Zi Jinniang was just giving Ziling an excuse to go with the princess.
