The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 55. Second Shu
After the afternoon, when the sun is slanting, it is the time for the daughters of Jiang’s House to go to the Lantern Festival.
The rest of Jiang’s mansion will also go there, not going to Linglong Boat, but to admire the lanterns of the whole capital at the restaurant on the bank.
The coachman waited early in front of the mansion gate, Jiang Susu took the lead to get on the bus and greeted Jiang Ruan and the others to come up. Jiang Li and Jiang Dan also sat in the same carriage with Jiang Ruan and the others. Several guards from the Jiang mansion followed and sent them to the Yongding River, where Linglongfang had already been waiting.
Although Linglongfang was spontaneously held by aristocratic women in Beijing, in fact, the cost of it was also spent in the palace every year. It is not the queen, but the hottest concubine Shu, who is the biological mother of the Eighth Prince. The concubine Shu has been favored by the sacred favorite, and her position in the palace is even a bit fearful for the queen. Her family is even more wealthy. She categorically ignores a few of these silvers in her eyes. The cost on the Qingsongfang is said to be just a lively show, and the meaning of it is unknown.
The carriage drove slowly on the road in the middle of Beijing. Jiang Li and Jiang Dan, as concubines, participated in the Lantern Festival for the first time today. Jiang Dan bowed his head timidly and said nothing. Jiang Li looked a bit eager, if it weren’t for Jiang Ruan and Jiang Suer. People, already opened the curtain and looked out.
Jiang Ruanzheng closed his eyes and rested, and suddenly Jiang Susu’s voice came in his ear: “What kind of talent can big sister?”
Sure enough, Jiang Ruan sneered in his heart, but raised his eyes in amazement: “I have nothing to know, the second sister asks why?”
“Why big sister is so humble,” Jiang Susu pretended to be angry: “Is it possible for my sisters to be shy? My big sister does not know that every lady at the Lantern Festival every year will show her talents in order to win the top spot. The winner will get the most beautiful lantern on the boat.”
Jiang Ruan lowered his head and pondered: “It sounds interesting, but I really don’t know it at all.”
“How come?” Jiang Susu said: “When the aunt was there, she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don’t believe that she never taught you.” Her voice was naive, as if she was a really frank and sincere little girl. Liju is irritating. At the beginning of the Jiang mansion, no one knew that Zhao Mei was a heroine daughter who was born in the martial arts family, but she was willing to study the piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy for Jiang Quan, but she was not pampered. And the literary things she reluctantly learned for Jiang Quan is as childish as a child who has just learned Chinese characters in front of the first talented woman in Beijing. Jiang Quan prefers Xia Yan, but he will definitely bring Xia Yan on any occasion, so Xia Yan’s elegance further complements Xia Yan’s rudeness, at least in the eyes of the world.
Now that Jiang Susu reiterated Zhao Mei’s study of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the irony can be imagined.
“The second sister is wrong,” Jiang Ruan said with a smile: “Could it be that the second sister’s knowledge was taught by the mother herself? Naturally not, my father would ask her husband to teach the knowledge for the second sister, but I was on the Zhuangzi. Mr.’s blessing.”
Jiang Susu choked and said after a moment: “But I see my eldest sister is so smart, she is not someone who has nothing to do. Moreover, this matter is also related to the face of our Jiang mansion. If you think about it, your eldest sister Any talent that can be obtained can at least deal with the past.”
“According to the second sister, what can I do?” Jiang Ruan asked.
Jiang Susu looked at her suspiciously, but saw that Jiang Ruan’s eyes were open, as if he really wanted her to help make decisions, so he said: “Calligraphy, chess and painting are not practiced overnight, and the eldest sister has never learned the piano. It’s not like dancing. How? There should also be singing and dancing performances on Zhuangzi, just like that, just learn a few percent of the movements.”
Jiang Ruan nodded: “This is a good idea, the second sister is thoughtful.”
Jiang Li on one side sneered coldly: “Don’t laugh and be generous.” Even so, there was a glimmer of gloat in his eyes. On the other hand, Jiang Dan smiled timidly at Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan leaned back: “So, I should think about it carefully, and what kind of dance will be done later.”
“I believe that big sister will surprise you all.” Jiang Susu smiled.
Jiang Ruan closed his eyes, as if he was really meditating, but his heart suddenly became clear.
There are big ladies on the boat. I have never seen any kind of talent, but Jiang Susu’s proposal is to teach her to dance the singing and dancing on the stage at the village villagers. If she does dance, she will be reduced to tomorrow. The laughing stock of the entire capital.
Sure enough, Jiang Susu still used the same methods as in the previous life, but the play could not start as she wished.
I don’t know how long it has been, but when the coachman yelled from outside, the carriage came to a halt. Several maids opened the curtains outside, and the people in the carriage slowly got out of the carriage one by one.
Jiang Ruan was the last to get out of the carriage. When he walked down the grass on the shore and saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn’t help feeling a little dazed.
When the carriage was driving, the sky was already dark. Countless bright Kongming lanterns were reflected in the dark night sky like a curtain. The capital is already glorious, and the moat with gurgling water is also brightly lit. All kinds of lanterns covered the entire river surface, and at a glance, it was like a flowing river of lanterns. The two ships at the forefront are carved with dragons and phoenixes, decorated with many exquisite lanterns, green smoke curls, and sweet talk and laughter can be heard from them.
This is Qingsongfang and Linglongfang. Jiang Ruan took a deep breath, and heard the young man sang from outside shouting with a long voice: “Miss Jiang Jia is here—”
The chattering and laughter stopped abruptly, and eyes gathered from the big windows of the two boats, falling on the late ladies.
Jiang Susu, as a stunning beauty in Beijing, naturally enjoys this look. Today, she wore a silver rat coat with a white plum and narrow silver long skirt. She wore a flowing cloud bun. She only missed a plum blossom and white jade hairpin by her side. She was white when she walked. The cloak swayed with the wind, and the beauty was unparalleled as if a fairy descended from the earth.
However, people’s eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and then fell on the girl behind her.
The whole body of the girl was gathered under the bright red crane cloak, which made her skin as white as jade, and taught people to be full of reveries about the slenderness under the crane cloak. Her eyes were like autumn water and eyebrows were like ink paintings. Under the lights, she looked beautiful, and her eyes were leaning upwards. Ruoyouruuowu was deserted, with curving red lips, and her long black hair curling a small bunch at random behind her head, allowing the others to wind down. Unlike the fair and beautiful fairy, she is charming and bright, and she is very well-behaved. The aristocratic manner is natural, but she seems to be seduce inadvertently. Walking towards everyone step by step, people couldn’t help but hold their breath, and couldn’t tell whether this charming girl was a dream or reality.
She was so beautiful that she was shocking.
