Five-character scroll, section 105, a hundred flowers blooming
The carriage of Daiyu and his party drove directly from the corner gate into the west gate of Hulunhou Mansion (East Mansion) adjacent to the Shenwu General Mansion, and did not stop until it reached the outer courtyard.
Servants had already come to take the horses and carts away and take them to the special carriage and horse yard on the east side.
This is the first time for everyone to come to Hulunhou Mansion. The name seems a bit unfamiliar to everyone, but they all know that it is the title of Uncle Feng Ziying.
Logically, Feng Ziying could directly seize the title, but as a civil servant, Feng Ziying felt that it was not necessary, so she reported to the Ministry of Rites that she would not seize the title until the next generation. That is, the eldest son born to Shen Yixiu could directly seize the title of Hulun Marquis. Of course, It is necessary to attack and surrender, that is, Hulunbo.
Several girls got out of the car with the support of the maids, and they were greeted by the You family.
"Youshi of the Nu family has met your sisters. My sister is already waiting for you in the inner courtyard."
The You sisters spoke in unison, and the Mandarin with a slight northwest accent made all the girls curious. Of course, what made them even more curious was the two concubines whom Brother Feng had heard about for a long time. Well, it turned out that they were still outside the family, and they were taken into custody just a few years ago. She was carried into the mansion and officially became a concubine.
They have also heard about the beautiful names of these two women. Hu Nu, eight feet tall, with blue eyes, high nose and plump lips, skin like snow, how full her breasts are, and how fat her butt is, these come from the maids The words conveyed through mouth and eyes made all the girls extremely surprised.
The two women who came into view were as refreshing as the rumors.
In particular, the broad and three-dimensional facial features of the two girls made all the girls feel a completely different style from their own. Could it be said that Brother Feng likes this type? Almost every girl is muttering in her heart. Feng Ziying’s unique taste.
We all know that marrying a wife with virtue and taking a concubine is a good idea. Since Brother Feng chose this kind of concubine, does it mean that Brother Feng likes this kind of appearance? But there is no way they can be with the You sisters. The appearance is hanging on the side.
The You sisters were also flustered when faced with the glowing eyes of a group of girls.
When Shen Yixiu told them to greet the visiting girls on his behalf, they were all surprised and at the same time grateful.
This means that Shen Yixiu regards the two women as his own sisters. This opportunity to entrust the two women to welcome distinguished guests is not available to just anyone. In a sense, this is the eldest lady's influence on their status. Recognition is also a declaration to the outside world that they are concubines rather than concubines.
So they both came with anxiety and panic.
Third Sister You was better off. After all, Daiyu was familiar with her, but she didn't know the other girls. Second Sister You was even more flustered. All the ladies who came were from the three families of Lin Jia, Xue and Shi. Among them, Lin Daiyu She is also an engaged wife of the third wife, and the other girls are also standard ladies.
At this glance, the birds and birds were blooming like hundreds of flowers, dazzling the eyes. Even though the You family had some psychological preparations, they couldn't help but hold their breath, fearing that they would lose their etiquette in their speech and behavior and lose the Feng family's reputation. face.
Lin Daiyu's red lips slightly bloomed, and she was the first to reply: "You two sisters, please don't be polite. Spring is just right. My younger sister has made an agreement with Sister Shen, so I came to visit Sister Shen with a group of sisters. I asked you two sisters to lead the way."
When Eryou nodded in agreement and was about to take action, Lin Daiyu said again: "It's been a long time, third sister You, how are you?"
After being startled for a moment, Third Sister You felt a little shy and quickly responded: "Thank you for your concern, my sister. Everything in my family is healthy, but my sister must be taken care of carefully. However, looking at my sister's complexion today, she is already much better than last year. My family is in good health." I’m also happy for my sister.”
Last year, she and Feng Ziying accompanied Lin Daiyu to the south of the Yangtze River. She and Daiyu sailed all the way, ate and lived together, and had a certain friendship. However, now Daiyu is a future wife, and she is already a wife. At that time, Daiyu actually I asked her if she wanted to be Feng Ziying's concubine, but she could only speak vaguely, but she didn't expect that it was already cooked.
The greetings between the girls were all so polite and slightly pretentious. While talking, the You family took Daiyu, Baochai, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun through the second courtyard. Enter the Yimen and enter the middle courtyard.
Shen Yixiu had already been standing in front of the flower hall in the middle courtyard with Qingwen and Yun Shang. Seeing that Daiyu and his party had also lowered their ranks in recent years to greet them, "Sister!"
"Little sister has met Sister Shen."
Except for Lin Daiyu, Shen Yixiu had never seen the other girls. However, seeing Lin Daiyu bring these girls to visit him, Shen Yixiu was also very happy.
She also knew that these girls were all noble daughters of the Jia Shi and Xue families, and they were all ladies in terms of status. They were both relatives and best friends with Daiyu, but she did not have many relatives and friends in the capital city, especially those of the same age and sex. There are even fewer, and they all know their husbands.
Now that there are so many guests coming, the Feng family suddenly becomes more popular.
Apart from Lin Daiyu, Shen Yixiu's first sight was on the gentle, graceful and elegant woman following Lin Daiyu. She wore a maroon quilted cloak, and underneath was a long skirt with a white background and red flowers. There is always a gentle smile hanging on the corner of the mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes are as bright as stars, which makes people's hearts light up when they look over.
"Is this the sister of the Xue family?" Shen Yixiu took a step forward and asked with a smile.
"Baochai has met Sister Shen." Baochai also didn't expect Shen Yixiu to recognize her at a glance, and she felt happy, a little proud, and a little surprised.
"I have long heard that Sister Lin talked about Sister Xue, she is so beautiful but so smart. Today I saw it and it turned out to be true..." Shen Yixiu was several years older than the other girls, and his tone was calmer and calmer.
"How can I be worthy of my sister saying that? It's just sister Lin's false words and false praise." Baochai held Shen Yixiu's extended hand and said sincerely: "Little sister also heard that sister Lin said that her poems and paintings were Shuangjue, even Brother Feng lamented that he was incompetent and felt very sad..."
This sentence made Shi Xiangyun next to him burst into laughter, which attracted Shen Yixiu's idea, "Is this one a girl from the Shi family? She is really brave and outstanding."
Shi Xiangyun put down the hand covering his mouth and smiled, and then said after hurriedly saying: "Xiangyun has met the Shen family sister. He has long heard that Brother Feng married a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Today, he met her. She is really well-deserved. When she meets Brother Feng, she must Treat him well and give him a good beating."
Shi Xiangyun's boldness also made Shen Yixiu quite happy, especially Shi Xiangyun's sharp-edged eyebrows and big eyes, full of energy, which looked a bit like Mulan and Mu Guiying's aura.
After meeting Shi Xiangyun, Shen Yixiu turned his attention to the other three similarly dressed women. The first one was tall, with picturesque features, and was charming and approachable. However, her slightly evasive eyes showed that this girl was a little timid.
"Is this the second sister?" Shen Yixiu had heard Qingwen introduce him to the guest before, and he probably thought he was the right one. This gentle, honest but beautiful girl was naturally the most silent and quietest girl in Qingwen's mouth. Honest Jia Yingchun.
"Yingchun has met Sister Shen." Yingchun bowed her head shyly and said a blessing, then she was speechless.
He is indeed a silent and honest man, Shen Yixiu murmured in his heart.
Turning his head again, what came into view was an oval face as gorgeous as a peach and plum. The heroic spirit penetrated directly between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the corners of the mouth were sharp. At a glance, you can tell that she is a girl with great personality, and There was a sharp contrast with Jia Yingchun next to her, who was probably Jia Tanchun.
"Third sister?"
"Tan Chun has met the sister of the Shen family." Tan Chun said happily, raised his eyes and faced Shen Yixiu, "Being able to marry the sister of the Shen family, it is true that Brother Feng had a lot of blessings in his previous life. The younger sister originally thought that it was Brother Feng is lucky enough to marry someone like Sister Lin. He didn’t expect that Sister Shen is such a fairy-like person. Brother Feng is really looking for someone else under the lantern. I heard that Sister Shen and Lin My sisters are both from Suzhou. Is it true that this Gusu is so talented that even my daughter’s family is so smart and unparalleled? No, not unparalleled, but in pairs..."
Shen Yixiu was amused by Tanchun's words. No wonder Qingwen also focused on introducing this third girl, saying that the third girl was smart and clever, and was the most outstanding daughter in the Jia family.
"Third sister's words put my sister too high. Sister Lin may be worthy of it, but she doesn't dare..." Shen Yi smiled with a smile on his face, feeling happy in his heart.
His eyes fell on the last clear and elegant girl. This girl was obviously smaller, but the clear air between her brows made her look like jade in the snow, making her forget the ordinary world.
"Is this the fourth sister?" Shen Yixiu chuckled and said, "I heard that the fourth sister is very knowledgeable in painting. I have also been interested in this art since I was a child. If there is a chance, I really hope to be able to work with the fourth sister. Let’s discuss and learn together,…”
"Xichun has met Sister Shen. In front of Sister Shen, my little sister's painting skills are just an afterthought and not worth mentioning. If Sister Shen doesn't dislike it, of course I am willing to come to Sister Shen for advice."
Xichun had also known for a long time that this talented lady Shen was a master of both poetry and painting, and her meticulous landscape painting was widely praised among the socialites in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she had some confidence in her painting skills, the gap between her and her would definitely be quite large, but if she really could find one, Having a close friend on the road of painting is naturally a joy.
"Haha, sister is too polite. Then we have made an agreement. I will be waiting for you, including the fourth sister, to welcome you, including the fourth sister, to visit the house frequently. Don't get upset."
After this meeting, Shen Yixiu also got to know these boudoir ladies of the Wuxun family who came from Jinling but have settled in the capital city. These are somewhat different from women from scholarly families like the Shen family, at least. The aura of wealth and nobility shown in their gestures and gestures is natural and has been accumulated through generations of migration and migration. It has a unique charm.
