His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

Chapter 38
The Ningguo Mansion is also the home of prosperity.The sons of Lord Zhen Guo were welcoming the guests outside. When they saw Lord Ning Guo get off the carriage, they immediately greeted them. They said "uncle" to each of them, and then led them into the mansion in person.

Pass through a yard in front, and turn around a few verandas, then men and women are required to leave separately.Banquet places for men and women are different, just to avoid suspicion.Therefore, they actually couldn't see the male guest today.

Li Shi had told Sheng Yanling about this rule before, and said: "That's why I want to dress you up in a dignified and grand manner. The wives love grand girls."

After all, I will be a housekeeper in the future.They especially don't like petty ones, nor do they like stupid ones.

Because of this, Sheng Yanling still doesn't like Kyoto.She thought that although Lingnan is poorer than the capital, there are not so many rules. Although she didn't often go out for banquets in the past, when the banquets were held, the wives and girls were all relaxed and smiling, unlike now , everyone laughed just right, as if they were measuring out with a ruler.

It's not that she thinks this kind of laughter is bad, but that she doesn't know how to laugh like this.She doesn't know how to smile like this, and she looks like a foreigner. In fact, she can be seen through at a glance. For example, when her aunt took her to talk to each family, the first thing everyone said was: "Did you just come to the capital? Oh, yo, Still tender."

Li Shi just laughed, "Don't make fun of her, she is a girl with a stupid mouth and solid eyes."

Sheng Yanling bowed and saluted, pursed her lips and smiled without speaking, appearing shy but generous.The fifth girl had already been dragged away by other familiar girls, and she was the only one with her aunt.She was quite nervous, afraid of showing her timidity by speaking out, so she simply pretended to be shy.

The wives laughed kindly, "I have the same temperament as your little five, no wonder they stick together."

Mrs. Li was able to bring Shengyan Bell to meet these people, which means that she is still acquainted with them. After meeting, she let Sheng Yanling show her face, and expressed her attitude towards this niece with full satisfaction, so she no longer offered to give it to her. If she chooses a husband-in-law, this is the reserve of the aristocratic family.

Then there are a few other things to say.Li Shi has been busy fighting with the old lady these days, and she only knows one thing about many things, such as the crown prince's concubine favor.

It's really not good to talk about this matter in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, after all, it's the princess's natal family.But the wives haven't seen each other for a long time, so this matter can be said in a low voice.

None of them could bear it, so the wife said: "The princess is kind, but the concubine's room is very domineering. I heard that she was just pregnant with a child, and she made a big fuss in the East Palace, crazy. of."

Li Shi also heard about it.But she didn't know what the concubine room was shouting about.

Another lady said: "I don't know what the yelling is about, I just know that it's crying and running outside."

Of course he didn't run out, but many people knew about it.Under the imperial city, where is there anything new?Ladies and gentlemen, each has an opinion.

"How can we not know the methods used by the concubines to compete for favor? Guess who is going to be framed again."

"Crying and pitiful, ouch, the pear blossoms are raining, won't the man feel bad when he sees it?"

"I heard that it is still indecent to run outside barefoot."

"No matter how much you want to fight for favor or harm others, you should also think about the children in your belly. Therefore, these concubines only care about their own favor, and they don't even care about their children."

To put it this way, the Crown Princess is not mentioned at all.No one would mention anything that could not be mentioned, so I stopped talking and talked about other things.

Sheng Yanling pretended to be dignified and generous, but secretly listened to it again. He heard that the son of this family suddenly went crazy and wanted to become a monk.She also heard a familiar name: Song Qingyun.

The wives winked and didn't say the word "buju", but Sheng Yanling understood it instantly.

Of course Li Shi knew about it long ago!But she still pretended not to know, covered her mouth and said in surprise: "...How could this kind of thing get out? I haven't heard of it at all."

A wife said: "Can you talk about this? The Song family is hiding it! I only know about it because I got close to the wife of the Zhou family."

Mrs. Li made a look of sudden realization, "I remember, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family married to the Song family as the clan's wife, right?"

yes.As a daughter-in-law, she naturally knows about the Song family.She also helped find a doctor to look at it, saying that it was born in nature and it was not good to look at.

This eldest young lady is famous for her big mouth in Beijing, even though Mrs. Song urged her repeatedly, she still told many people in a short while.

Song Qingyun is a kind person on the outside, and he has many friends, but he has been competing with Yu Xingzhi in the Imperial College all the year round, suppressing many people invisibly, and some people are angry. Things, immediately treated it as a bustling scene, and promoted it vigorously with him.

Anyway, his reputation is ruined.In the future, the daughter of a good family will not marry him.What did you marry in the past?Widowed?
They are all dignified people, and no one can do this.

Li Shi took pleasure in other people's misfortune, and even restrained her smile and pretended to say, "Hey, it's really... Heaven is jealous of talents."

"Who said it wasn't."

"It's a pity too. I'm afraid that people from the Imperial College will mention him in the future, not talking about his talent but his reputation. It's really not pleasant."

Sheng Yanling found out that Song Qingyun's flaws instantly overwhelmed his reputation of talent that he had painstakingly cultivated for many years.

It's really hard to say, but she also lowered her head and smiled gloatingly, thinking that God will have her own retribution.

But when talking about Song Qingyun, the wives naturally thought of another talented person, Yu Xingzhi.This one also made a big mistake and offended Duke Ning's mansion. It's a pity that he packed his bags and left Beijing a few days ago.

But the feast bell is still here, so it's hard for them to say.Mrs. Li wanted to hear about the tragic situation of Yu, and wanted to talk about his fate in front of the wives, so she excitedly opened the feast bell, "You go to your fifth sister, and I will talk to your aunts." .”

Feast Bell bowed and left.

The fifth girl was talking with the three girls in the pavilion. She had just followed her aunt in the corner of the garden.Walking from the corner to the pavilion, you need to pass a small path. On this path, the flowers are densely grown. It looks like it has not been taken care of. It is quite wild, but it also seems to show a "wildness" on purpose. Then it became four different.

Sheng Yanling can appreciate flowers, and she can see the good and bad of this trail, but when she is regarded as a flower appreciation, she is still a little timid.

Many girls were looking at her along the way.There are those who watch secretly, and those who watch openly.She resisted and walked into the gazebo, holding her head up all the time, resolutely not to embarrass the Ningguo government.

But when she got to the pavilion, she heard Miss Wu laughing at her, "Did you see, how many people stared straight at you?", she immediately let go of this tone, limp on Miss Wu's body and couldn't get up .

The fifth girl hugged her soft waist and smiled straight, "Look at you, look at me, the beauty is not shallow."

The other girls in the pavilion also laughed, all of them were very kind, and they quickly chatted.Sheng Yanling found out that although the fifth girl seemed not good at speaking at home, she was very good at socializing outside, and she could make people laugh out loud with just a few words.

They are saying nicknames.

When a man reaches the crown at the age of 20, there will be a sign at that time.Girls at the age of 15 and Ji will also have nicknames.But most people use one word in their name to overlap each other.

For example, the fifth girl's boudoir name is the word Xi, so her nickname is Xixi, and these girls all call her by that.

But some girls will take one alone.For example, the person in the yellow dress in the pavilion is the daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. Her father has studied criminal codes and laws all his life. He is a serious person, so he named her Zhengqi.

That's right, it's really upright.What is her nickname?Right?Angry?You have to get another one.

She is the youngest here, just turned 14 years old, and is worrying about the small print of 15 years old.

She said: "You don't know, I'm just scared right now. I'm afraid that my father will call me some brave words again."

Hearing the feast bell, he also laughed.However, the girl soon cheered up again, and said, "I also thought of a slightly nicer one, which can be used by both men and women, maybe my father will agree, you can help me as a staff officer."

Sheng Yanling was curious: "What small print?"

"Lan Shi. The Lan Shi in spring. What do you think?"

Shengyan Bell remembered the ever-burning lantern in the Daxiong Palace Temple.

If she remembered correctly, the name of the deceased was Jing Lanshi.

She stopped talking.This matter cannot be said.On the contrary, Miss Wu and the other two girls looked a little unhappy, and they hesitated to say something.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze a bit.
