Chapter 304: Arriving in the capital
"It's been six days......"
Xiaohuan sat in the courtyard, habitually folding his fingers and muttering to himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
My uncle and second lady have been gone for six days, and they should be about to arrive in the capital.
Yesterday, the Shangyuan Festival had passed, and the young lady took her to the street to see the lanterns, and when she came back, she bought a few beautiful ones to hang in the room.
If there is an uncle, there is definitely no need to spend money to buy, the person who sold the lantern said that as long as he guessed which lantern riddle, he could bring the lantern back, and the uncle guessed the lantern riddle very well, and he would definitely be able to guess at a loss.
There was some noise outside, I heard it in the yard just now, it seems that Uncle Fang and they took advantage of the aunt's absence yesterday to visit the Qinglou, and when they came out, they were caught red-handed by the aunts who came back from the temple, and yesterday there was a night in the house, and in the early morning, you can see the broom raised high in the courtyard next door.
A figure jumped in from outside the door, and the old man made a silent gesture to Xiaohuan and whispered, "I'm hiding here, don't tell your aunt." ”
As he spoke, the whole person quickly flashed into the storage room.
Xiaohuan sighed, Uncle Fang is such an honest person, how can he like to go to that kind of immodest place?
The aunt of the Fang family, who chased her in from the outside, pouted in the direction of the storage room, and lay on the rocking chair, which was very comfortable, no wonder my uncle used to like to lie on it the most.
There was a scream from inside the room, and a figure rushed out of it, crawling out of the yard, and the aunt of the Fang family hurriedly chased after it with a broom.
……
……
In the courtyard next door to Ruyi Fang, several long tables are side by side, with a huge canvas spread on it, a woman wearing a clumsy skirt, a handful of wooden hairpins on her head, holding a paintbrush, the tip of the pen swims on the canvas, the painting in front of her has been completed for the most part, the scenery is vivid, a tall tower stands on a lonely mountain, and a huge wave of thousands of feet high sweeps from the front, as if to submerge the entire mountain.
This is a scene from the most popular play "The Legend of the White Snake" in recent days, called "Water Flooding Golden Mountain", the mountain peaks are wonderful, as if they are about to be born from the canvas, the water is monstrous, and it is extremely shocking from a distance.
Wan Ruoqing walked out of the room, shook her head and said: "You can calm down, there are people outside who do not hesitate to offer a price of three thousand taels of silver in order to see you, even a portrait can be sold for more than one hundred taels, why bother so hard for dozens of dollars." ”
"It's different." After standing for a long time, Zeng Zuimo twisted his somewhat sore waist and said, "I don't care, anyway, you promised to take me in, but now you can't regret it." ”
"Your fame has now spread out of Qing'an Mansion, and the goddess of Luoshui is known to everyone, "Beauty Song" and "Luo Shen Fu" have been copied by countless people, and it is said that the paper price of Qing'an Mansion is one percent higher than in the past."
Wan Ruoqing looked at her and said with a smile. Who would have thought that the well-known "Yaochi Fairy" and "Luoshui Goddess" in Qing'an Mansion would be such a scoundrel. ”
"What Luoshui Goddess, it's not all his fault!" A hint of shame appeared on Zeng Zuimo's face, and every time she heard others read these poems, she couldn't help but think of the scene of "honest confrontation" with him that night.
As soon as "Luo Shen Fu" came out, her fame was greater than before, and the first genius of Qing'an Mansion made a fortune for the ages for a beauty has also become a beautiful talk, but all women, no one does not envy her, those resignations will definitely be passed on, and every time someone mentions it in later generations, I am afraid that the name of Zeng Zuimi will also appear together, and she has also become a celebrity for eternity in the real sense......
But she just wants to live a plain life in the future, after one thing, this wish can only become a luxury, she has to cover her face when she goes out, worrying about being recognized, what else is bland......
And the culprit of all this is still unknown where to be happy.
"If you don't like it, you might as well give me that book of poems." Wan Ruoqing looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm reluctant, without that book of poems, our "Luoshui Goddess" will not have anything to hold a giggle every night." ”
"And what about me, I don't know who it is, I have to take out the prayer lantern every two days to see it......" Zeng Zui Moqiao's face was slightly red, but he didn't suffer at all.
A hint of envy appeared imperceptibly in Ruoqing's eyes, and she changed the topic and said: "The top ten Oiran on the night of Shangyuan have been selected, don't you want to know who this year's Oiran is?" ”
"Who else can there be, that is, the battle for the leader is a little more intense, but it is just the competition between Lu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi, Liu Yiyi wants to use a few businessmen to overshadow Lu Qiaoqiao, who is supported by Qing'an's talents, I'm afraid it's not so easy, there is not much hope of getting the leader, as for the others-----, it's probably just those old faces." Zeng Zuimo added a few more strokes to the canvas and said nonchalantly.
Wan Ruoqing nodded and said: "Indeed, Liu Yiyi finally lost to Lu Qiaoqiao by a slight margin, and can only be relegated to second, in addition to the two of them, last year's Oiran, there are still four who are still famous, the Jade Academy has less you, and one more Chen Miaomiao, although it is only the last place, but with your fame, the Jade Academy will not have any big losses this time." ”
There is a sentence that Ruoqing did not say, although Lu Qiaoqiao is the leader of this year, but in terms of popularity, she is far inferior to Drunken Mo, if she does not redeem herself, even if she does nothing, she can firmly get the position of leader.
There was a knock on the door behind him, as if Qing walked over, and after opening the door, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw someone coming.
"Drunken ink, why are you so troubled!" A voice containing too much emotion suddenly sounded, and the old bustard of the Jade Courtyard ran into the courtyard, looking at Zeng Zuimo, who was dressed in cloth clothes and did not even have a decent piece of jewelry on his body, tears fell down his eyes.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Zeng Zuimo was taken aback, looked back, and was relieved to find that no one was following.
The old bustard grabbed her hand and said excitedly: "Drunken Mo, you go back with me, what's wrong with the Jade Courtyard, there is everything delicious and delicious, even if it is to offer you like an ancestor------ it is a life of happiness, why suffer like this!" ”
Looking at the old bustard's face full of tears and distressed look, Zeng Zuimo was a little funny, and said: "Mom, you don't need to persuade me, since I came out, I won't go back......, by the way, remember to pick a tender ginger in the future, the old ginger is too spicy eyes, you can't stand it......"
The method of wiping her eyes with ginger to tear up was taught to her by her mother herself, and she wanted to use this method to win sympathy, but she used the wrong person.
Hearing her words, the old bustard simply wiped away his tears and sighed: "Alas, you have no conscience, Mom, I didn't provide you with good food or drink, and now the wings are hard, and the small jade courtyard can't accommodate the Luoshui Goddess......"
"You really don't plan to go back?" After complaining, the bustard asked tentatively one last time.
"I'm not going back." Zeng Zuimo smiled and said with great certainty.
A trace of annoyance appeared on the old bustard's face, and he turned around and walked outside, saying as he walked: "Okay, the child is older, the old lady can't keep it, I just hope you don't forget the sisters in the courtyard, if you have the opportunity, support them more, even if you repay the old lady." ”
She came this time, she didn't think that she could invite Zuimi back, although she was no longer in the Jade Courtyard, but because of her fame, it also made the Jade Courtyard famous, the business was very good these days, if she was not so ruthless before, and turned to praise Chen Miaomiao, even if she didn't invite her back, she would always be able to get more benefits, but now, she can only look forward to the drunken ink and miss the old love, and she can help the girl in the building more, and she will also help her in disguise.
"Finally came out." Watching the figure of the old bustard disappear, Zeng Zuimo felt relaxed for no reason.
"It's finally here!" Looking at the city wall that was much taller and more majestic than Qing'an Mansion City, Li Yi let out a long breath, and the whole person relaxed.
