Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 94

Mrs. Gu and Concubine Gong talked about some interesting things that happened in the mansion recently. Concubine Gong and Concubine Gu are cousins, and they don't get together very often on weekdays, but they had a good relationship before they got married. Concubine Gong doesn't like to flatter people who flatter her, but she is willing to talk to those kind of real people.

It's just that it is inevitable that some wives with higher status and status will come forward to talk, and Mrs. Gu can't refute their face, just like the Princess Kangtai in front of her, relying on her status, she never leaves her daughter in three words, and she is eager to get Princess Gong's approval. look.

Concubine Gong has a good self-cultivation, and exchanged a few words with her: "The girls are all very nice to me. There are a hundred flowers blooming in the garden, all of them are young and blooming, and they are more beautiful than flowers. Remembering that we had such a carefree time at that time, I really miss it."

Princess Kangtai also echoed: "What the princess said is that this age is the best time to be carefree. To be honest, I am a girl who is good at everything. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lan Xin, her looks are passable, ouch, as long as I think of marrying her off in the future, I can't bear it."

No, Princess Kangtai can bring the topic to the shy daughter behind her no matter what she says.

Mrs. Gu couldn't stop her from speaking, but Princess Gong looked at the girl behind Princess Kangtai with a face-saving look. She had a weak appearance, a palm-sized face, high cheekbones, and a pointed chin. Such an appearance, in the eyes of ordinary people, might be regarded as a small family jade, but in the eyes of Princess Gong, it is not enough. Of course, it does not mean that Princess Gong likes beautiful girls, but at least she must look comfortable and close to her eyes. Okay.

But I can't tell that my mother said your daughter is too ugly, and I don't like it, so Princess Gong chose to continue the topic and asked Gu: "By the way, I heard that the eldest lady in the house has a girl staying. He is extremely clever, and he has been praised by the Duke and Madam more than a few times, I wonder if he has come today?"

Mrs. Gu knew that Princess Gong wanted to change the subject, and the "Miss in the family" in the words referred to Xie Wei, and there was only one daughter of Xie Wei, so she nodded immediately and said: "The princess is talking about Sister Hua. Come on, come on, just play antithetical poems with the girls in the garden."

Princess Kangtai also looked in the direction that Mrs. Gu pointed, and felt a little displeased that Princess Gong mentioned other girls in front of their mothers, but the other party was Princess Gong after all. Can't say anything, can only pretend to be magnanimous, and see what flowers Gu can point out.

The girls in the garden are discussing poems, and the ones with the best grades are at the front. The one at the front is Zhang Yingying, the granddaughter of Xie Xinrou's Shoufu family. They are both talented and beautiful, far ahead of the other girls.

When the people sent by the Gu family went to the back of the team, Princess Kangtai couldn't help but sneered, then turned to the people in the pavilion and said: "It seems that the legend is not true, I think the most intelligent person in the rumor should be a talented person." Yes, I don’t think it’s the last one, I didn’t say that if our family goes up, let’s not say it’s better than Miss Xie’s family and girls from Zhang Shoufu’s family, at least we can be in the front row.”

Concubine Gong and Mrs. Gu looked at each other and said nothing. Although the other wives also felt that Princess Kangtai’s comparison method was not good, they didn’t want to argue with her because of this. After a while, the maid came from the girl’s pile. Then a beautiful flower fairy was called out.

Yan Zhaohua is wearing a very simple and elegant gown with breast cloud gauze and a double-breasted waist today, with a flower made of pearls on his temples. He has no other accessories on his body. I know she is still in her filial piety.Although the dress is not gorgeous, once this face is exposed, no matter how simple it is, it is impossible to speak.

Yan Zhaohua came to the pavilion nervously, met the ladies, and was dragged by Mrs. Gu to Princess Gong. Princess Gong looked her up and down, and praised from the bottom of her heart:
"It's beautiful."

Yan Zhaohua boldly raised his eyes to look at Concubine Gong, and sure enough, he guessed right with her. Pei Xuan's appearance was more like Concubine Gong. Thinking of Pei Xuan, Yan Zhaohua was not so afraid, and actually replied to Concubine Gong. : "It's not as good as the princess in case."

If other people said this, Princess Gong might not believe it, but when she said it from such a shy little girl, Princess Gong was surprised and also very happy. She glanced at Gu Shi and couldn't help laughing. He also glanced at Yan Zhaohua, patted the back of her hand, and said:
"You child, tell the truth."

Gu Shi's words made Princess Gong even more amused, as she did when she was a girl, she patted Gu Shi's arm, and then said: "The child is talking nonsense, and you are still booing."

Mrs. Gu didn't expect that she adjusted the atmosphere for a long time, but it was not as effective as Yan Zhaohua's words. Immediately, the pavilion became lively, and some wives also echoed, talking about some elegant things about Princess Gong back then. Huacai knew that Princess Gong had the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital when she was young, and she attracted countless talented writers to write poems to praise her. She was also one of the most beautiful people in the capital at that time. , but Concubine Gong's character is always out of character, and now she hears people mentioning the past, she is full of emotions.

He looked at Yan Zhaohua differently, and pulled her from Mrs. Gu to sit next to him, as if he hated seeing each other late.Although Yan Zhaohua was sitting next to Concubine Gong, she was not in that mood. Although the others didn't say anything, at least Princess Kangtai and her daughter stared at her from time to time, which made her scalp tingle.

Princess Gong was in a good mood, and asked Yan Zhaohua about some things in life. Yan Zhaohua respected this beautiful and unassuming Princess Gong very much, and felt that she was much easier to get along with than Pei Xuan, but it was also because of her Similar to Pei Xuan's appearance, Yan Zhaohua is not afraid in front of Pei Xuan, he even says what he has, never hides it, and is not afraid of offending Pei Xuan, and now he is less afraid of Princess Gong, When Princess Gong asked her questions, she could answer them fluently, occasionally with some just-right jokes mixed in, and the wives next to her deliberately held Princess Gong. I couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere was so good for a while, even the girls in the garden who were interested in poetry couldn't help but looked over curiously.

Princess Kangtai also wanted to intervene, so she waved to Yan Zhaohua from her seat and said, "This is the girl from Yanhou's family, she is really beautiful, come and show me."

The voices in the pavilion suddenly stopped, Yan Zhaohua glanced at Mrs. Gu and Princess Gong, Princess Gong patted the back of her hand, and said: "This is Princess Kangtai, and sitting beside her is Princess Ronghua , the princess will take a look at you, so you can go and show her."

Yan Zhaohua knew this person. Although he did not meet her in the last life, she had heard about the reputation of Princess Kangtai, and knew that she was a difficult person to deal with. Looking at her face now, Yan Zhaohua knew that he must be hindering her It's a matter of opinion, Princess Kangtai definitely wanted to tell Princess Ronghua to be Pei Xuan's wife, but Princess Gong didn't like it, so she pulled herself to talk. Princess Kangtai couldn't get angry, so Princess Gong I want to find some balance on her body.

Yan Zhaohua came up to Princess Kangtai with her skirt in her hand, and saluted her. Princess Kangtai nodded as if putting on a show, and then looked Yan Zhaohua up and down with scrutiny. On the outside, Yan Zhaohua was I can't find any shortcomings. If you say that Yan Zhaohua is not good-looking, you are lying with your eyes open. If you look at the whole capital, you can't pick a few who can match Yan Zhaohua's appearance. .

Since there was nothing wrong with the outside, Princess Kangtai had no choice but to start from the inside, pointing in the direction of the garden, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"The appearance is very good, but this knowledge seems to be not very good. Why don't you move forward when the girls are writing poems?"

The words of Princess Kangtai are really immeasurable to the wives of Mantingzi, but everyone can understand her feelings, and they have worked hard to recommend their own girls for a long time. I put a few eyes on her girl, but when the little girl from the Changning Hou Mansion came, Princess Gong liked it like something, no wonder Princess Kangtai couldn't stand it, and wanted to stab the little girl.

And when a girl at this age has the strongest self-esteem, she is very angry when Princess Kangtai says this to her face, and she may have to feel inferior in the future.But the others couldn't answer for her, so they could just watch and listen.

Yan Zhaohua raised his eyes to look at Princess Kangtai, without any embarrassment, and smiled, amazed by the surrounding scenery, only to hear her reply unabashedly:
"You made the princess laugh. I'm really not good at learning, and I want to move up the position, but I really don't have the energy to spare. I must study more in the future, and strive to move up one or two positions in the future."

Such a generous admission that she is not capable of learning, and she only regards other people's slapping in the face as a normal conversation, and the answer is neither humble nor overbearing, but also generous and decent, Princess Gong likes this straightforward, unflinching and beautiful girl even more.

Princess Kangtai was also choked by Yan Zhaohua's generosity. She didn't expect her to admit it so simply, as if hitting the cotton with her fist. No matter how hard she tried, there was no response. She was very depressed, but I couldn’t find the point of the attack. You said that he was not good at learning, but he admitted it, and said very humbly that he would study hard in the future...

But it was just suffocating in one breath, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Concubine Gong wanted to protect Yan Zhaohua, and she was afraid that Princess Kangtai would say something, so she interjected: "Whoever reads or doesn't study, the most important thing for a girl is to understand the truth, know right from wrong, read so many books, and don't need to be the number one scholar." , The princess is serious about the little girl playing in the garden, isn't it the same as the little girl."

Princess Gong's words clearly favored Yan Zhaohua. Princess Kangtai blushed and was speechless. She glanced at Yan Zhaohua, who was standing with lowered brows and looking pleasing to the eye, and finally closed his eyes. mouth, and the Ronghua county lord next to her stared at Yan Zhaohua.

Princess Kangtai stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became better again. Earlier, Princess Gong mentioned the examination of the number one scholar, and everyone thought of it again. , everyone is a lot of topics.

"The prince has passed the weak crown this year, so I wonder if there is a girl from any family?" A graceful and luxurious lady asked Princess Gong in this way.

When Princess Gong mentioned her son, she also had a headache. Yan Zhaohua had already been dragged aside by Mrs. Gu, only to hear Princess Gong say: "He, he has been busy all day long, so go back and tell him about it. He just yelled at me, always perfunctory me, and didn't say anything about why he came."

"I don't know what the prince likes. Let's take care of the prince more, so that we can share the burden for the princess." Another lady said this meaningfully, which attracted the wives in the pavilion to agree.

The following topics basically revolved around Pei Xuan, and even Princess Kangtai, who had been stabbed by Princess Gong earlier, regained her interest and stepped forward to discuss it.

Yan Zhaohua gave up the space to these wives, while he retreated to the back to have some snacks.

Xie Xinrou and Zhang Yingying came hand in hand. After saluting, Xie Xinrou came over to hold Yan Zhaohua's hand and said, "I heard that you guys are wrestling on the slope, let's go see it too."
