The next day, Yan Xiao got up early, had breakfast at home, and went out early. He originally wanted to go out yesterday to look for inspiration, but was delayed by Liu's mother and daughter, so he didn't go out.
.
Today, I got up early and went out so I could go shopping. Shopping alone is not fun, so two people are better. Yanxiao only had one or two friends in Xunyang, so she decisively went to find Qiaoyun.
.
It took half an hour to get to Qiaoyun's icing on the cake from Lin's house. When Yan Xiao arrived, Su Niang was also there. However, today Su Niang's dress was extraordinarily different. She was wearing a man's shirt, with her black hair tied up, as if she were
A handsome young man.
When Su Niang saw Yan Xiao coming, she waved her folding fan and walked up to Yan Xiao: "Oh, little lady Xiao Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are a little different."
Yan Xiao looked at Su Niang looking like a bad scoundrel and asked sideways, "What's different?"
Su Niang walked around Yan Xiao, looked up and down and said, "You are more like a human being now than before." Su Niang said and turned to Qiao Yun: "Yun Niang, what do you think I said?
right?"
Yan Xiao looked at Qiao Yun who came out from behind the screen, and saw that Qiao Yun was also wearing a moon-white blue outfit, with her hair tied up with a silver crown, and a piece of suet jade hanging from her waist.
Qiaoyun smiled and said: "There are indeed some changes."
Yan Xiao looked at both of them dressed like this and asked, "Why are you all dressed like this today? Are you going out?"
Qiaoyun came out and held Yanxiao's hand and said: "Today is the fifth day of July, and in two days it will be Chinese Valentine's Day. There is a poetry club in the city, the same poetry club they saw last time we went to East Street.
"This poem will be held for three days, and today is the first day. Su Niang came over and asked me to accompany her to see it."
As soon as Qiao Yun said this, he remembered that Qiao Yun did tell him about a poetry meeting last time. This was because he knew the dressing habits of men here.
Su Niang waved her fan and walked up to the two of them. She held Yan Xiao's shoulder and said, "Qiaoyun just said that it would be great if you came, but I didn't expect you to come. No wonder people say that arriving early is not as good as arriving by chance."
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and change your clothes, and we'll go out together."
"Do you have my clothes too?"
"Although there are no clothes made for you, there are new clothes for you to wear."
With the help of her two sisters, Yan Xiao changed into a suit of sky-blue asparagus clothes, and tied her hair with a blue hairband. After dressing up, it was completely impossible to tell that Yan Xiao was a woman.
Yan Xiao looked at himself in the mirror, but he didn't expect that he dressed up in men's clothing and still looked like a dainty scholar.
Su Niang leaned against the dressing mirror and looked at Yan Xiao, covered her mouth with a fan and said, "I know what's different about you. You used to be a cherry, but now you've grown into a peach."
After Yan Xiao heard this, he looked at Su Niang with some confusion. For a moment, he didn't understand what Su Niang was talking about about how he looked different.
Qiaoyun, who was standing behind Yan Xiao and combing Yan Xiao's hair, heard Su Niang's words and covered her face with her hands.
Laughing, Yan Xiao watched Qiao Yun laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking like rain hitting begonia flowers. Yan Xiao remembered that when the two of them helped her put on her corset, something was wrong with Su Niang. At this moment, she knew what Su Niang was talking about.
what.
It is true that I have taken good care of my body in the past month or so. Perhaps it is because I drank space water. My body has recovered very well and I have gained some weight.
After the three sisters packed up, they went out together. Su Niang brought them and came in her family's carriage. When the three sisters went to Dongshi, they also took Su's mother's carriage.
As soon as Yan Xiao walked out of the door, he saw the carriage next to him. Compared with Qiaoyun's carriage, it was more gorgeous. Two palace lanterns were hung on the two legs in front of the carriage, and there were vermilion tassels hanging on the top of the carriage lid.
Su Niang walked in front, Qiao Yundu was in the middle, and Yan Xiao walked at the back. When they got to the carriage, the driver took out a small step stool. Su Niang stood aside and stretched out her hand in an inviting gesture and said: "You two gentlemen, please
!”
Qiao Yun lifted up her front and got on the carriage first and sat on the left. Yan Xiao followed and sat on the right, leaving the middle seat for Su Niang.
Su Niang straightened her hair and said, "We have to have a name when we go to an occasion like this. It's best to have something meaningful."
"Didn't you go there every year before? Just give us a name, okay!" Qiaoyun said.
After Yan Xiao got in the car, he first observed the decoration inside the carriage. The inside of the carriage was also different from Qiaoyun's carriage. There was an extra small table in the middle with pastries and tea on it. Secondly, there were a few cups placed on the seat.
Something similar to a pillow that you can lean on.
Su Niang put the fan away on the table and poured tea for the three of them. She put the tea in front of the two sisters and said: "This is the first time for both of you to go in this capacity. Of course, you have to choose your own name."
It makes more sense.”
Qiaoyun thought for a moment and said, "Then let me call you Ai Qiu!"
"I'll just split my name. How about Zhuyao?" Yan Xiao said, looking at the two sisters.
"Okay, it's just a nickname anyway. No one else will know you except the two of us."
"My name is Xin Yi. Fortunately, I have met Mr. Ai Qiu and Mr. Zhu Yao." Su Niang said politely.
The two of them also smiled and returned the greeting. "I have met Mr. Xin Yi."
The three of them looked at each other and thought this scene was very interesting, so they all laughed.
"Hahaha!"
Yan Xiao then said: "Aren't women gathering together on July 7th to beg for luck? What is the meaning of this Chinese Valentine's Day Poetry Festival?"
"The Qixi Festival and October Festival have only emerged in the past few years, and they have never existed before." Qiaoyun said.
Su Niang chuckled, picked up the fan, opened it, and said in a serious tone: "If this is the reason, there may not be anyone in Xunyang who knows the origin of this poetry club better than me."
Yan Xiao became excited when Su Niang said this, and quickly said: "Tell us quickly."
"Ten years ago, King Jinghui of today's day traveled to Xunyang and discussed studies with several famous scholars in Xunyang at the Fuchun Tower. At that time, no one knew that he was the most famous prince in the dynasty.
I thought he was a rich young man from other places, so the argument was very heated."
"Because Fuchun House is a restaurant, the time when the few people were arguing was the time when the restaurant had the most customers, so it shocked a lot of people. Of course, there were also many women who were moved by King Jing Hui's extraordinary temperament and talent."
"Coincidentally, when the two parties were in a stalemate, there happened to be an official from Kyoto who recognized King Hui Jing among the crowd of onlookers. The oranges who were debating with King Jing Hui were also frightened at the time. However, this scene
Not only did King Hui not mean to blame, but he also greatly praised these actions."
Yan Xiao listened and said: "This happened ten years ago, so you must be seven or eight years old. How do you remember it so clearly?"
When Su Niang heard this, she said proudly: "Because I was in that restaurant at that time, and I was right next to Prince Jinghui."
"Later, this routine was almost the same as what was written in those storybooks. These moves won the favor of the daughters of several big families in Xunyang at that time. With the help of them, the official career has skyrocketed. Since then.
After that, the Chinese Valentine's Day Poetry Club was established in Xunyang City, partly to show off their knowledge in the hope of being recommended by the Zhongzhengguan, and others to find a good marriage."
"However, these have nothing to do with us. We are going today just to join in the fun. After all, such grand poetry gatherings only happen a few times a year!"
Qiaoyun said: "You say that every time you go out. You only go out a few times a year. I'm afraid you can't even count it with your toes."
Being exposed by Qiao Yun, Su Niang was not annoyed and just said: "Who wouldn't like to see this handsome young master, right?" Su Niang smiled and winked at Yan.
Yan smiled and said, "It's true. I heard that appreciating beautiful things from time to time can extend your life."
The three sisters just talked and laughed as they headed to Dongshi. This chapter has been completed!
