The red-painted verandah extends towards the center of the lake, and an exquisite two-story wooden building stands in the middle of the lake. The bead curtains are rolled high, people are moving, and chatter and laughter can be heard far away on the lake shore.
Nan Baoyi and Xiao Yi went up to the second floor and saw that the hall was quite spacious, with seven or eight Eight Immortals tables. The maids were coming and going carrying melon, fruit and flower cakes, and the boys and girls were chatting and laughing.
Because it was the prefect's mansion that was hosting the invitation, all those who came to attend the invitation were the children of officials in Jinguan City.
Nan Baoyi and Nan Baozhu were invited because of their in-laws and Xiao Yi's favor.
The maid rolled open the bead curtain and said loudly: "The Marquis of Jingxi and the Fifth Miss Nan are here¡ª¡ª"
The guests were stunned and stood up to salute one after another.
Nan Baoyi hid behind Xiao Yi and quietly poked his head out to see that Nan Yan had arrived and was standing next to Cheng Deyu.
She was dressed elegantly today, wearing a pink coat and skirt that was quite fresh.
She is beautiful, but it is the kind of beauty that men appreciate more. She has big eyes and a pointed chin. Although she is only thirteen years old, she is charming every time she looks at her.
The delicate feeling of Niao Nana can easily make men feel protective.
Xiao Yi waved his sleeves to show his displeasure, then chose a good seat by the window and sat down indifferently.
Everyone stood up one after another, looking from Xiao Yi to Nan Baoyi, and couldn't help but be surprised.
The girls couldn¡¯t help but started talking:
"What is she dressed like? She's wearing a man's robe and leather boots, but she's also wearing a snake bun and peach blossom makeup. I've never seen that before!"
"But it does look good! Tomorrow, I will also buy two men's robes to try!"
Nan Yan was holding a collection of poems in his arms, his face pale.
She got up before dawn to dress up, but the carefully painted makeup and painstakingly matched coat, skirt and hairpin were no match for Nan Baoyi's nondescript outfit!
She bit her lip and subconsciously looked at Cheng Deyu.
This literary and elegant young man from an official family was staring at Nan Baoyi without blinking, with a hint of amazement in his eyes.
It wasn¡¯t until Nan Baoyi jumped up to Xiao Yi¡¯s table that he looked away with seeming indifference.
She thought for a while and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao is so beautiful. She never studies on weekdays and only focuses on dressing up. I shocked everyone today. I guess Mr. Cheng is also very tempted, right? Only a beautiful girl like Jiaojiao can He is a good match for Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Deyu suppressed his surprise and said sarcastically: "You have beauty in vain, but you only use sex to serve people. This kind of woman can only be treated as a concubine."
He didn¡¯t lower his voice deliberately.
The laughter and chatter in the small building in the center of the lake fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other with a little embarrassment on their faces.
Nan Baoyi sat next to Xiao Yi, pouring tea for him in an awkward manner.
Hearing this, she raised her fair and delicate little face, her red phoenix eyes turned into crescent moons: "Brother Cheng, it turns out that I am so unbearable in your heart? Since you don't look down on me, why not go to my house tomorrow and retreat?" This marriage?"
Cheng Deyu knew he had made a mistake.
Naturally, the marriage cannot be canceled. During the years when he and Nan Baoyi were engaged, the Nan family had benefited a lot from the Nan family. During every year and festival, the Nan family would send a lot of money to them.
If you break off the engagement now, you won¡¯t have these benefits!
He sat down and said with a gentle voice: "I just hate that iron cannot become steel. Miss Nan Wu is a boudoir girl, but she doesn't know how to study and only focuses on dressing up every day. For those who don't know, I think you dress up to seduce men. It¡¯s really offensive.¡±
Nan Baoyi looked at him quietly.
A young man from an official family has poems and books in his belly.
Wearing a large green mink and silver mouse cloak, with white jade hairpins, looking at the bright wind and the bright moon.
But why are the words coming out of your mouth so ugly?
She smiled: "So in Mr. Cheng's mind, the daughter's family dresses up beautifully just to seduce men?"
"Why else?" Cheng Deyu said in a deep voice, "There are cases of women being raped every year. The reason is that those women dress up too glamorously. A truly good woman will never dress up in a flashy way. For example, Your sister Nan Yan has a gentle demeanor, and you can tell at a glance that she is a well-educated and sensible girl."
Although she knew Cheng Deyu was a stickler, Nan Baoyi was still so angry at his words that her liver ached.
How can you judge a girl¡¯s character by her appearance? !
It was in vain that she thought Cheng De¡¯s language had connotations in her previous life, but now it seems that he is obviously extremely superficial!
Xiao Yi suddenly laughed: "If I marry a wife, I will definitely allow her to dress up carefully every day."Rouge, gouache, Sichuan brocade silk, skirt and hairpin jewelry, whatever she likes, I will buy them for her. "
Nan Baoyi was startled.
She slowly looked at Xiao Yi.
A young man of gold and jade, with powerful hands and a cool demeanor.
But the words he said were so heart-warming
Cheng Deyu said in a disdainful tone: "To focus on dressing up all day long is to lose a woman's duty. As a woman, she should take care of her husband and raise her children, take care of the backyard, serve her parents-in-law, read more, and constantly improve herself. She should be independent and have her own opinion. , to be good at running a shop and to be able to support a family, you must not rely on your husband."
Nan Baozhu exclaimed: "What's the difference between being Mr. Cheng's wife and being a widow?"
Ning Wanzhou played with an orange and sneered: "Being a widow doesn't mean you have to serve a man! It seems that being Mr. Cheng's wife is harder than being a widow!"
This is such an upright speech to a master and a servant.
There was an eerie silence all around.
Cheng Deyu couldn't help but said sternly: "I am just refuting Marquis Jingxi's point of view. In short, it is not a good thing for a woman to dress up too beautifully, it will bring disaster."
Xiao Yi sneered: "That's because you don't have the ability to protect your woman."
He glanced at Nan Baoyi calmly: "If you are the woman of this Marquis, you should keep your fingers clean of the spring water, and she should be held in the palm of your hand and loved by thousands of people. Even if you go out, there will definitely be guards following you. Under the whole world, No one dares to touch it. I want her to decorate herself with confidence and boldness, I want her to be charming and charming, and I want her to be like a jewel!"
What he said was very resounding.
It more clearly highlights Cheng Deyu¡¯s narrow-mindedness and selfishness.
The girls in the hall looked at Xiao Yi with different eyes.
From awe to worship, and finally to full of love.
When you marry, you should marry an upright man like Mr. Hou!
Cheng Deyu's face was hot, and his eyes were full of anger.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Nan Yan came to the rescue in a considerate way: "Today's feast at Guanxue Lake is a poetry gathering. Why are you all chatting away and forgetting the original intention?"
Others came to their senses and agreed one after another.
A girl said: "I heard that the theme of today's poetry meeting is related to winter scenery. I thought it would be better for each of us to compose a poem. If anyone can't compose it, he will be punished with a cup of wine. How about that?"
Nan Yan glanced at Nan Baoyi quietly, with a malicious look in his eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Not only do you have to drink a cup of wine as a penalty, but you also have to sing and dance for us. Only in this way can it be considered lively."
It¡¯s despicable to sing and dance for so many people.
And she just wants Nan Baoyi to be the despicable person. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
