marry a noble wife

Chapter 41 Unwilling

Madam Bai sighed in disappointment, "It seems that Zhengxiao in my family is not so blessed."

Hearing this sentence made Jin Zhi very angry and bored, if he had known this, he would not have asked his uncle to say anything about the marriage, and seeing Lin's look of arrogance, he lost his mood.

"Then what about the seventh girl?" Madam Bai said and looked at Jin Xia again. She knew that Jin Yuan and Jiu Ya were concubines, so she didn't want to give them one out of the corner of her eyes, which wasted her energy.

Hearing that it belonged to the Houfu family, Jinxia had already moved her mind, but the first thing she liked was An Zicheng. Although he was not from a high family background, he was handsome and handsome, so she didn't want to miss it.The second is that I don't know what the young master of the Bai family looks like. If he looks crooked, she won't go to the gold and silver mines.

Mrs. An looked at her with a half-smile, and didn't answer this time, as if she wanted to hear what she had to say.

Jin Xia actually lived up to her expectations, bowed her head and blushed and said, "Thank you Mrs. Hou for your love, there is an elder sister who is not married, how dare we young ones discuss marriage?"

"Oh, what a sensible person. I never thought Mrs. Song would be so strict and teach his children to be so well-behaved. He is really blessed." Mrs. Bai laughed to herself, found a step down, changed the subject, and asked again. Some female celebrities or something.

Jin Yuan sat beside her for a long while, but no one paid any attention to her, as if she was a transparent person, she felt a little bit bitter in her heart, what's wrong with the concubine, why is she so unpopular?It's like being oppressed by the Xiao family at home. Unexpectedly, outside, these people are even more snobbish. Today, she has to put on a show and show it to others. No one can underestimate her.

But Jiuya didn't care, she sat there quietly, trying to minimize her sense of existence, after all, the theme of her visit today is not here.

After sitting for a while, another visitor came outside. Seeing that the flower hall was a bit crowded, Mrs. An said to An Huiran: "Sitting with us old people is also boring. Go and lure a few girls to play in the garden. Huixin and the others It’s over there too, and it’s said that they want to guess riddles, recite poems and play music, and you all go to join in the fun together.”

In fact, Huiran couldn't sit still for a long time, she nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and took Jiuya and the others to the garden.

It is said that the An family's new mansion was bought from a third-rank official who has returned home. The scenery in the garden is scattered and orderly, with pavilions and flowing water, mountains and peaks, shaded by vines and vines, it is very elegant.

Jin Xia looked at the magnificence along the way, and the design and layout of this garden was many times better than that of the Song Mansion, so she made up her mind.Then he took Huiran's hand and pursed his lips with a smile: "I heard your mother say that Huiran's sister played the piano well last time. Today is a rare opportunity. Don't forget to play a song for us later, so that we will be full too." Ear blessing."

Huiran took a look at Jinxia. In fact, she knew that her mother wanted to cancel the marriage of the eighth girl of the Song family and let her elder brother marry the sixth girl. It has to be what it is, the elder brother's is good. I remember when I was in Chaosheng, I also got the title of one of the four great talents, that is, I am good at piano skills, and I don't know how many daughters' hearts I have captured."

Jin Xia was elated when she heard it, but Jin Zhi said on her behalf: "My sister recommends it so strongly, it really makes people yearn for it."

Huiran understood, "Brother will be pulled to play the piano in the front after a while, but I can take a few of you to hide behind and listen quietly."

Jin Yuan looked disapproving, sneered, and said in an indifferent way: "My sister's future sister-in-law is here, shouldn't she be invited to listen first?"

Jinxia's face immediately darkened, Huiran glanced at her, then at Jiuya, but didn't know how to continue the conversation.

But Jiuya changed the subject lightly, "The flowers in this garden are so beautiful, most of them can't be named. There are many people over there, are they also guessing the names of flowers like me?"

When she said this, Huiran's embarrassment was relieved, and she smiled and led them to the crowded place ahead.

This group is also full of girls, led by Huixin, the youngest daughter of An's family, playing and reciting poems under the name of flowers.Jiu Ya is not interested in these things, but Jin Zhi is like a fish in water. These arty things can greatly express herself, but before she can speak, a woman comes over and whispers in Hui Ran's ear: "Girl, Anping is here. .”

She didn't speak loudly this time, but the sharp-eared Jin Zhi heard it clearly, and immediately remembered the elegant and handsome man she had seen that day, how could she have the heart to chant poems?An Huiran told these female guests that she had something to leave in the main hall, and she immediately followed her and said, "Since it's a housewarming, my sister will naturally follow my sister to visit the fourth place of this mansion. My sister won't think my sister is troublesome."

An Huiran smiled unnaturally, "Of course not."

After Jin Zhi left, Jin Xia also became absent-minded, but Jiu Ya met Bai Wanli, the daughter of Marquis Huguo. This girl is innocent and talkative.And it is rare for Jiu Ya to know people outside of the Song family, so she naturally chatted witty words with her, and for a while, the two of them felt that they got along very well.After talking for a while, when Jiuya turned her head again, not only Jinxia was gone, but even Jinyuan was gone.

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, just as Bai Wanli took her hand and said, "Eighth sister, anyway, neither of us sings poems, why don't we just take a walk around here."

Jiuya also felt that this place was boring, so she got up and asked a little girl from Anfu to show them around.

In the front yard, An Zicheng hosted a group of young masters.He took out the purple bamboo shoot tea brought from Chaosheng, and called two singers invited from outside to play the music.Although it hasn't been long since he returned to Beijing, he has already figured out that this condiment is the favorite of the sons and daughters in the capital. It is delicious and delicious, and no matter what the occasion, this condiment is indispensable.

"Brother Song, this little Taohong is a well-known geisha in the capital. I'll bet today, if you can go up and kiss her right now, my son will immediately spend a lot of money to buy her and send her to the mansion. How about it? Dare you?" The person who spoke was a tall and thin man in Chinese clothes, holding a jade bone fan in his hand, tilting his head, with a frivolous expression on his face, it was Bai Xihou, the son of the protector of the country.

Song Yaoshu stood beside him flatteringly, looked at Xiao Taohong who was playing the pipa on the pavilion and was singing the peach blossoms in March, and looked at him with a troubled look on his face, "My son should know that Xiao Taohong is not an ordinary person, and you can ask her to sing for money." Qu, no one has ever treated her lightly..."
