Qing Chuan Rebirth: Seeing You Every Year

Chapter 7

In a blink of an eye, it was almost late October, and the weather was fine that day. Shu Yi asked the boy to try the lake in the mansion to confirm that it was frozen enough, and ordered people to go to the warehouse to find skates and ice carts from previous years, and took the boy A Wu , Alu and Ting Lan competed on the ice skating car on the lake together.

Eager to win, she didn't realize there was an ice edge in front of her at all, and the ice car was going too fast, and she fell down on her ass.

She was struggling to get up from the pain, when suddenly there was laughter from the crowd, the servant girl panicked and hurried over to help her, and A Wu also overturned the car when he parked the car.

The master and servant turned over on their backs in embarrassment and were seen by the people by the lake. Shu Yi thought it was Ming Tai, Ge Xu and the others, so he stood up and went to the shore aggressively.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that the people who came were the ninth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and another man who was slightly older than them, and they looked extraordinary.

"The ninth elder brother is auspicious, and the fourteenth elder brother is auspicious." Shu Yi bowed her head and saluted.

What a pity, why do I feel so embarrassed every time I meet them.

Ming Tai hurriedly introduced: "This is the eighth elder brother."

Unlocking a new historical figure, Shu Yi is very excited, I have to take a good look at what this Eight Sage King looks like.

"The court lady Wanyan Shuyi has met the eighth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother is auspicious."

"You don't need to be formal, get up quickly." Eighth Prince's voice was very friendly, and she relaxed a little.

I saw him wearing a black python robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and clear eyes.It gives people a feeling of grandeur!

The eighth elder brother said again: "I just heard from the old fourteen that the youngest daughter of Mr. Luo Cha's family is clever and cute, and she is much more interesting than Mingtai Shaofu. I saw it in a blink of an eye."

When Shu Yi heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.How clever and cute is this first scene, wrestling in front of others, it's embarrassing.

The fourteenth elder brother was following behind the eighth elder brother, and came up to Shu Yi and asked, "You fell hard this time, are you okay?"

This stinky boy, Yinti, really can't open the pot and carry it!
Shu Yi shook her head and returned: "Brother Xie Shishi is concerned, it's nothing serious, skating and wrestling are common and I'm used to it."

She stirred her sleeves with her hands, and happened to catch a glimpse of Brother Jiu, with another indifferent expression.

"I heard that you are very good at ice skating. We are preparing for the ice skating ceremony. The events presented by the Ministry of Rites from previous years are nothing new. Do you have any new ways to play in Shengjing?" Brother Eight suddenly asked.

The so-called Ice Play Ceremony in ancient times is nothing more than Eight Banners men walking on the ice, fighting, etc., archery, and grabbing the ball. It is really boring to watch for a long time.

It was more fun in Shengjing when I was young, Shu Yi sneaked a glance at her elder brother next to her, wondering if she should say it or not.

Before Mingtai made a statement, Yinti seemed to see through her hesitation: "Just tell me how things are played in Shengjing, so we can learn from them."

His words gave Shu Yi a reassurance, seeing that Brother Ba also nodded, so he spoke boldly.

"There are performances of miscellaneous operas at the New Year's Eve Temple Fair in Shengjing in winter. If it is moved to the Ice Play Ceremony, it should be more lively than ordinary martial arts performances; there are many ice sculptures and ice lanterns of different shapes at the temple fair. Why not also at the Grand Ceremony Ice is used as a painting, and more decorations for the New Year are added to the beauty and excitement; in Shengjing, women and children can enjoy ice and snow in winter, go skating, play polo, and spin top..."

Seeing that she was talking more and more vigorously, Ming Tai quickly interrupted: "Shu Yi is young, and these are just playful ideas, everyone just listen to them, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use them in the grand ceremony."

"She spoke well, especially the idea of ​​ice sculptures. Let's discuss it with Mr. Luo Cha later." The eighth elder brother seemed very satisfied with Shu Yi's answer.

Fourteenth elder brother also agreed: "I think it's good too, but the style of this ice sculpture needs to be discussed carefully."

It was no fun for Shu Yi to continue standing here, and she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she wanted to find an excuse to leave, and saw Wanyi appearing at the door of the Chuihua Gate from a distance, waving at her, as if there was something urgent.

Eighth Brother said to Shu Yi: "If you use it well, we will help you get a reward in the future."

"Then thank you eighth brother in advance! The servant girl will not delay the elder brothers' discussion, so I will take my leave first." She saluted, and hurriedly turned to look for Wanyi.

Wanyi dragged her along and walked quickly, only saying that there was something urgent.

Leaning a little, finally arrived at the boudoir, screened the servants, and closed the door, which made Shu Yi even more curious about what was going on.

"What, Sister Yushu is engaged?" It was really a big deal, she choked on the tea in surprise.

Wanyi hurriedly handed over the handkerchief: "I was just as surprised as you when I first heard about it."

Yu Shu is a close friend of Shu Yi who has been acquainted with Wan Yi since she came to Beijing. Her Ama is the famous talent Nalan Xingde, and her grandfather Nalan Mingzhu was once the prime minister of the dynasty.

"Which family is Sister Yushu married to?" Shu Yi hurriedly asked.

"It's the eldest son of the Xiangbaiqi Nian family, named Nian Gengyao. I heard that the eldest son brought his younger sister to Wanyan's mansion for a visit at the end of October, so I came to ask you."

Nian Gengyao and Shu Yi were taken aback, as if they hadn't noticed this period of history before.Nalan Xingde's daughter was married to Nian Gengyao, which was a bit shocking.

"Do you remember this year's Lantern Festival when we went to Nalan's mansion for a banquet, and there was a male guest in the middle of the room who toasted loudly, and he was very easy to get along among the gentlemen. Ridiculous, that person is Nian Gengyao."

"It turned out to be him. He always felt that he was not suitable for Sister Yushu." Wanyi frowned with her chin in her hand, with a sad expression on her face.

"Because of the incident with the Prince Ying's mansion in the early years, sister Yushu is not easy to get married now. Nian Gengyao and my brother both worked in the Imperial Academy, and they were also Jinshi a few years ago, so they must have some talent."

Shu Yi thinks that this year Gengyao will also be a famous and important official of the two dynasties in the future, and marrying him as the first wife will not treat Yushu badly.

Wanyi shook her head: "Forget it, I'm not that curious. Hearing what you said, I'm relieved. Anyway, now that the dust has settled, I'm also happy for Sister Yushu from the bottom of my heart." She smiled and said, casually Flipping through the copybooks and poetry collections on Shuyi's desk.

"You used to disdain to read these things, but now there are poems and words, and the copybook is so thick." She asked curiously.

Shu Yi tidied things up with a guilty conscience, and dragged her to the outside room: "Don't look, don't look, it's just a whim, it's still the same if you practice again!"

"There must be something weird!" Wanyi glanced at the Yuefu poems she had just written on the table: Pulling cattails together with the king, you can't do it all day long.

"Who are you with, forget all your troubles! Have I ever seen this person with such a great ability?"

It's hard for Shu Yi to explain, he just said that he wrote it casually.

Wanyi was persistent: "Although I want you to marry into my family, if you want to belong, you don't have to feel burdened." She paused and reminded: "It's just that you and I will participate in the draft next year. Everything is uncertain, you have to plan in your own mind."

The draft in the palace is held every three years, and there was no big funeral in the 41st year of Kangxi. It seems that next year, I and Wanyi will definitely participate in it. Could it be that this is the time when Yinti was given a marriage?Shu Yi's brain was running fast, and he came to such a conclusion.

Wanyi leaned on the wooden slum in front of the window, and said lightly: "I really hope that God will bless me to lose the election."

From the drawer, Shu Yi took out the honey-soaked green plums that Mingtai sent a few days ago, and ate with her: "If you lose the election, who do you want to marry? Look at my nerdy brother, he has already rejected many door-to-door introductions." It's a matter of marriage."

The corners of her mouth were filled with a smile, and her cheeks were blushing: "I can't make the decisions of my parents or the words of the matchmaker."

The conjecture in Shu Yi's heart has probably been verified by seven or eight points. I don't know when it will start. Wanyi's eyes can always be seen in the crowd following Ming Tai. If this is the case, I can help out.

Wanyi was busy changing the subject, and asked forcefully, "Is there any story between you and Fourteenth Brother in private? I saw it on my brother's birthday. There's something wrong with your eyes?"

Shu Yi had no choice but to tell her what happened at Guo Luoluo's mansion and what happened at Jianting that day.

"Actually, I have long thought that the fourteenth elder brother looks at you differently than others. As far as I know, he is not married to Fujin yet. If he really likes you, he will definitely find a way to get the emperor to marry you."

Shu Yi savored the greengage in his hand, a little bit of sourness rose to the tip of his tongue.Yinti is going to be a father next year, so I don't want to be a Fujin for him!
That night, Shu Yi carefully reviewed the 41 years of Kangxi. Except for the fifth princess who died in July, there seemed to be no major incidents in the royal family. It seemed that she could spend the New Year in peace.

Unexpectedly, at noon a few days later, when she was practicing calligraphy, the young man in the mansion came with a guard to deliver a message, saying that it was Fourteenth Elder Brother who arranged an ice play ceremony in Taiye Pool, and needed advice on something.

　The story of Nian Gengyao and Nalan's is not fabricated, it is real.

　　Nalan Yushu's grandfather is Nalan Mingzhu, a university scholar.I have to say that pearls are still very accurate in judging people. Marrying my granddaughter to a young man with a mediocre family background, I must think that this kid is extraordinary!
