March 3rd, Shangsi Festival. Today, he gave the new science and technology to eat and drink in the apricot garden, and he brought the queen and the noble lady to overlook the river view in the Ziyun Tower and enjoy with the people. I saw a large number of beauties gathered on the edge of the Qujiang River, embroidering Luo clothes in the twilight of spring.

Yan Bing combed her double hair and followed her cousin and sister-in-law in a tender yellow dress, even if she didn't have a smile on her face, she became a scenery in the eyes of others with her natural beauty.

She had come to the feast after all. After passing the news of Grandpa's grandparents and uncle, everyone agreed that Wen Yuan's construction was correct.

It is not to deceive her relatives as the daughter of the new general Jinwu who is the founding county marquis of the new Jinwu general, but to worry that she will delay the best years due to illness and filial piety, if she accidentally survives until seventeen or eighteen and fails to say goodbye, then it is likely that she will never meet an unmarried man of the right age again.

"Okay, don't keep a straight face, smile and laugh, okay? It's not that you want to play with anyone right now, it's just that you go out to meet more people and look for some opportunities. Li Yan has regarded Yanbing as his own sister since she was a child, so she speaks quite bluntly.

Thirteen years old, is the age of flowers, because there is no need to wear a hat to cover his face, Qujiang banquet during the wine order to say poetry, couplets, or describe a few river scenes, flowers, immediately can show the style and talent, the opportunity must not be lost and never come again.

"Yes, if you come, you will be safe," Xingyi also persuaded on the side, and specially reminded, "Besides, Brother Wenyuan probably got the exact information from the palace to secretly inform him, and I don't know why he didn't say it in the will, we can only pretend not to know before the letter arrives, you don't want to trap him in injustice." ”

"Yes, I know." Yan Bing settled down, curled the corners of her lips, slightly lifted her skirt and followed everyone into the painting boat of the Duke of Liuguo.

At this Qujiang banquet, only dignitaries and nobles can have serious viewing seats, Ziyun Tower is the best, and non-royal nobles can't go up. The painting boat is second, the pavilions and pavilions along the river are once again first-class, and the common people can only sit on the sky and the ground at will.

The Li family is not high or low, there are not many relatives and preferences, so they simply did not set up their own banquet. Li Si and his wife did not go out, Li Mao and his wife went to have a small gathering with their colleagues in Guozijian, Li Ming found the Oiran lady to drink, and the juniors went to Liu's house for a banquet.

Everyone stepped into the two-story corner pavilion, only to see the rich peony lattice window, the crane auspicious cloud relief railing are exquisite, and Liu Shilang and his wife are smiling at the main seat.

Yan Bing and Xingyi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Wanfu Jin'an." Then he followed up to the second floor and greeted the colleagues and elders of Liu Shilang at a table.

After a period of greetings, the thin white-bearded willow waiter smiled and waved to his daughter, son-in-law and others: "You go down and have fun by yourself, don't be restrained." ”

"Okay, thank you grandpa!" Liu Qingqing and Li Yan both smiled and thanked each other. The eldest grandson of the Duke of Liu Guo was not in the capital during his appointment, and the second grandson was Liu Zixu, who was now in the apricot garden, and the elders were drinking tea upstairs to watch the scenery, so the whole painting boat is now cheaper.

After calling friends, in the soothing and tactful sound of silk and bamboo of the female singer, the painting boat slowly rippled on the river surface from the shore, and it didn't take long for a good person to raise his voice: "Come on, come on, Ah Qing, tell the boatman to sail to the apricot orchard, and see the demeanor of the new science and technology jinshi." ”

Liu Qingqing smiled and quipped according to her words: "How good can it be?" The two Tanhualang are what we are used to, and most of the rest have gray hair, right? ”

"Sister-in-law, my cousin is also a jinshi, where is the gray hair?" Yan Bing was stabbed in the waist by Xingyi, so she had to fight her spirit to participate in the conversation, and refuted it with a smile.

"He is not as handsome as my brother and the eldest man of the Rong family, so he has a good temperament." Liu Qingqing was depreciating and secretly praised, and did not forget to give her husband a light smile.

As he spoke, the painting boat had already approached the apricot orchard, and when he looked up, he could see a group of people dressed in red and green drinking, laughing, and talking, occasionally splashing ink.

There are probably too many people who want to see the demeanor of the Jinshi, and the more they go to the apricot garden, the more dense the painting boat becomes, and Yan Bing can hear someone on the boat next door talking loudly about the Rong family across the river.

"Do you know what flowers that Tanhualang named Rong Wenyuan picked?" The speaker had a male duck voice, and after laughing, he continued, "It's actually a frangipani!" Such a small white flower with a touch of yellow, and other people's delicate peonies and peonies look particularly cold! ”

"That's right, yes, I heard that everyone thinks he has to pay ten glasses of wine to get through."

……

Hearing this, Yan Bing's cheeks suddenly became hot - Frangipani? When I was in a trance after talking this morning, I seemed to fold a frangipani from the flower bed to him? I really handed it in, this is really, I obeyed him!

After a while, she heard Li Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat not far away, say to the person opposite: "Seventeen Lang, your news is outdated, the Rong family Lang specially wrote a poem for the frangipani, and he just won the praise of the sage, and appointed him as the leader of today's flowers, and also gave Rong Dalang a plate of red diamond cakes. ”

Before his cousin Lu Qilang, who was named, could speak, the young man in blue brocade with a male duck voice at the front looked up and said, "What did he write?" ”

"Hui Xu Gongzi, he said: Indifferent and suspicious of Mei Lose, quiet desire and Hui Zhengfen." Li Yan directly recited the two most praiseworthy sentences, which immediately attracted a round of applause.

Yan Bing, who was leaning against the window, was secretly speechless, and others thought that Rong Wenyuan was deliberately borrowing poetry to express his indifference to fame and fortune, which happened to be in line with the sage's intentions.

But she knew that this was just an unintentional willow insertion after she sent the wrong flower to him.

The charming little lady leaned thoughtfully on the railing, and even smirked softly, like a painting, and fell straight into the eyes of the young man in the blue brocade on the opposite side.

He even forgot to talk to Li Yan, first stunned, and then straightened his neck to look.

Xingyi, who was standing on the side, looked at the appearance of Xiao Langjun's green skin bubbles in his heart, and then pulled Yan Bing's sleeve and said, "The scenery on the back is good, come with me to take a look." ”

Although Yan Bing was a little unsure, she still followed out of the tacit understanding of the twins, and only after turning her back did she ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"That's the painting boat of the king of Dingyue County. It was Lu Shishilang and Xu Gongzi who spoke, and they were not fuel-efficient lamps. Xingyi had just been admitted to the Guozijian in the spring, and he listened to a lot of gossip about these two "seniors".

Although he didn't know what to say, Yan Bing understood it in seconds. The title of Xu Gongzi is quite problematic, Gongzi, that is, the general term for the sons of the princes. In other words, this ten□□-year-old son of the prince of Xianjun has no title, no position, no honor, it's simple. The description is both incompetent and not liked by the above.

Xingyi hoped that Yan Bing would stay away and not be watched by the prodigal son, but Lu Jiuniang, the princess of Dingyue County, sent someone to board the boat and invite them to talk!

The twins glanced at each other and silently confided in each other: "I can't refuse at all." "Regardless of the fact that Lu Jiuniang was unmarried because of her eldest aunt and Cousin Wan, she had a good relationship with Yan Bing, and the identity of the princess of the county alone cannot be objected to.

looked at it again, and the person who came to pick them up was still an acquaintance, that is, Mama Pang who took Yan Bing to see her father and mother from Xiaorongshu Village.

She naturally remembered Yan Bing, and when she opened her mouth, she said flatteringly: "I haven't seen her for many years, and the little lady is getting more and more smart!" It's really like a fairy. ”

"Mama looks still healthy," Yan Bing pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "I wonder if Changshi is alive?" "Old man Shi, the head of the county king's mansion back then, had an enmity with himself.

Afterwards, I thought back to Mama Pang's voiceover and realized that he didn't deal with this nurse either, but unfortunately he couldn't take the opportunity to do something at the beginning.

Yan Bing took the opportunity of Mama Pang to help her get on the boat, and quietly stuffed a golden melon seed into her hand.

made such a gesture of goodwill, and sure enough, she was mentioned by Mama Pang, only to see her come close and smile in a low voice: "Here, the county king and the lady are not good, how can they lack the control of Changshi." Xu Gongzi is even closer to him. ”

Yan Bing's mind quickly calculated, three years ago, Nineteen Niang slipped and was infertile and wanted to choose a good family as a concubine for the king of the county, but three years later, I didn't hear that she was pregnant, not only did she lack a concubine, but she also had no shadow.

If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that this Dingyue County Mansion will be replaced by someone in charge.

After entering the cabin to meet the prince and his wife, Yan Bing almost couldn't hide the surprise on her face when she sat down to chat, looking at the princess's empty embroidered gold dress and thin and pale face.

She endured it and couldn't hold back her emotion: "Sister Nineteen has lost a lot, and it's time to take supplements in the spring, so pay more attention." ”

"Alas, now that there are many and complicated things, how can you be as free and easy as when you were in the boudoir in the past." Lu Jiuniang's eyes drifted to the little uncle diagonally opposite as she spoke, and it was clearly him who was not worried.

Xu Gongzi didn't seem to understand the meaning of his sister-in-law at all, licked his face and asked with a smile: "Little lady Shu hasn't finished yet, is it someone else?" If you haven't learned to preside over the feed, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand the difficulties of your sister-in-law. ”

Hearing his words, Xingyi, who was sitting with him, instantly became aggrieved: How can a man of appropriate age directly ask someone if he has a marriage match? Asking someone to say that they are close to humiliation is so straightforward!
