Chapter 410: Too simple
Chapter 410 Too simple
After Qingming Emperor confessed that the Ministry of Rites and Qintian Supervisor would jointly handle the matter, he patiently calmed his heart and listened to courtiers discussing local affairs for a short while.
After retiring from the court, Xia Tingzhen and others were called to discuss matters in the imperial study room.
……
The next day, it was a bright and pleasant weather.
Early in the morning, Xu Mingyi sat at the dressing table.
Akui is very hard to comb her hair and choose the jewelry to use-the girl will go out with her wife today to attend the flower fair at Mrs. Wen's house, and the girl does not go to these occasions on weekdays. It's easy to go, she naturally has to treat it with care.
The girl said that she didn’t have to be so troublesome. After all, she didn’t want to see others, which son she fell in love with, and which daughter-in-law she wanted to be.
But the girl doesn’t care, but she does care—you need to know that each girl goes out and stands in the same place, and they have to be compared. Is the comparison only the appearance of the girls?
of course not.
Among the competitions, there are also the hair combing skills of the maidservants in various prefectures and the way of matching dresses and jewelry.
Xu Mingyi didn’t know the exquisiteness and competition in this. After Akui took a serious look, he looked in the mirror and saw that he was not exaggerated, and he was satisfied with the place when he used all his thoughts on the details. Head, went out with his mother.
Speaking of Mrs. Wen’s flower fair, Xu Mingyi has not been there for five or six years.
The reason why I passed this time was because Cui had been talking about it several times-she knew that her grandfather had left Beijing for the expedition, and her mother deliberately took her out to go out for a relaxing time. This bad intentions repeatedly refused, and there is nothing to do today. Be with my mother.
The mother considers herself to be with her daughter, and the daughter thinks she is with her mother. In short, that's how she left the door.
Although Mrs. Wen loves horse cranes and is one of the most addicted to food, she is indeed a famous family. The flower fair in her mansion has been held for seven or eight years. There are quite a few in the capital. Sub-famous.
Therefore, most of the ladies who received the post will not be absent.
Because the weather today is really good, it is very suitable for enjoying flowers and tea, this flower party has become more and more exciting.
A hundred flowers bloom in the garden, the rockeries and narrow creeks are quiet and exquisite, the ladies chat and laugh, and from time to time, there are girls from any family who play the piano and chant poems.
"It's rare to see the Xu family girl in recent years. It's rare to come here today. Why don't you go to the pavilion to play a song?" a woman suggested with a smile.
Xu Ming said with a smile: "The younger generation is not good in piano art, so I don’t show ugliness anymore."
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why she does not come to such occasions easily. It is no different from a nightmare to her to perform talent in public in front of her elders.
It's not that there is any prejudice against this behavior, she also admires the girls who are willing to stand up, but she really can't do it.
Mrs. Wen on the side looked at the girl sitting there upright, and said with a smile: "Do the girls from the Xu family still need to perform? Let's have our eyes full, you guys say yes or no?"
The women smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ms. Wen is very good at words and things. Xu Ming is self-aware of this, but she also feels that this lady was also scared by her...
I still remember that she also visited Mrs. Wen’s flower party five or six years ago.
and also performed the same talent.
But unlike ordinary piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her performance is archery.
At that time, at the age of a teenager, I wanted to show off in my heart, and probably wrote "Let you see how good I am" on his face——
Neither God could see that she was so capable, so she told her to blunder.
I still remember that the arrow had just hit it, and before it had time to aim at the bullseye, it flew out uncontrollably, sweeping past the silk flowers on the sideburns of a woman, scaring the woman to the sky and screaming on the spot. Passed in a coma.
The chaotic and thrilling situation at the time, and the embarrassing and subtle atmosphere, she has never remembered.
So, it was not without reason that I did not attend the flower fair again.
And that woman is the dowry of Mrs. Wen, and she still secretly trembles when she sees her.
"...Are you really not good at piano art?"
At this moment, a crisp voice asked quietly.
Xu Mingyi looked up and saw that the girl sitting in front of her turned her head, looking at her curiously with a pair of deep black eyes with thick eyelashes.
Thinking of the relationship between this girl and Wu Chao, Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded softly: "Yes."
"But you Zhongzhou women didn't learn these since childhood?" The girl whispered: "I think you are all very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy."
"There are exceptions."
"So, you don't like to learn this?" The girl seemed to finally find someone who could talk. The questions were thrown out one by one, and her body turned to Xu Mingyi: "Then what do you like?"
"I was born in Xingwu at home, so I learned some riding and shooting along with it." Xu Mingyi suppressed his voice very low.
One is that she doesn't want to be too noticeable, and secondly, cough, she said that she learned to ride and shoot at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. This shooting word made her very embarrassed.
"What a coincidence, I also learned to ride and shoot since I was young!" Princess Sangyun was very surprised, and quickly said: "Then how about we go riding together another day?"
The invitation came very suddenly, and the little girl in front of me seemed very eager to make friends with others. Xu Mingyi was a little puzzled about this. However, even if she threw away her puzzlement and wanted to nod her head to agree, she had to do it for both parties. One or two worries about the identity of ——
Therefore, I can only replied with a smile: "Unfortunately, I just suffered some back injuries a few days ago. I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany the princess. After a while to recover from the injury, it is good to send a post to the princess. ?"
Afraid of misunderstanding by girls, her tone is as gentle as possible.
This is the case, the smile on the cheeks of Princess Sang Yun is still faint, and he subconsciously glances at Xu Mingyi's waist.
Is there really a waist injury?
Still talking, but just deliberately prevaricating her?
But...Where did the other party have the confidence to decline her invitation?
If she hadn’t just heard that this was a girl from the Zhenguo Gongfu, she still had some family background. As the princess of the Yanwangfu, she would not have seen it more, but now she took the initiative to speak, but the other party was actually opposite. Picking up the shelf?
The princess Sang Yun, who was consciously refuted, had no enthusiasm in his tone, and said coldly and coldly: "Since there is an injury, it is not easy to force it."
Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy about this, Xu Mingyi was secretly puzzled.
Is this princess a bit too simple?
Is it because you have never left the northern border?
Xu Mingyi watched the girl make a gesture about to turn around, but he seemed to think of something suddenly, and looked at her again——
