Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard
Chapter 88
"Cut, don''t you just get a lift? What''s to be proud of?" Du Kehui heard the meaning of Du Xiuheng''s words, cut, returned to Du Kexin and said something about the capital.
Du Xiaoli didn''t have much interest in their dialogue, so she turned her attention to the street. A crisp voice attracted her attention.
I saw a thin, ragged and dirty beggar with a stick in his left hand and a broken bowl in his right hand. He kept saying to passers-by, "Hey, aunt, please be kind and give me some money. I haven''t eaten for two days."
"Thank you, aunt. Your heart is so good. The Bodhisattva will bless you for your health and longevity!"
"Oh, sir, you look radiant today. It''s a sign of getting rich!"
"Oh, thank you, sir. If you are so kind, you will live a long life."
"Aunt, please have mercy on me. I haven''t eaten for three days. There is an old beggar to feed in the broken house... Thank you, aunt. I wish you good luck!"
"Go away, go away, where''s the beggar!"
Some passers-by will directly push her away when they see her, while others will sympathize with her and give two copper coins. As soon as she saw that there was money in the bowl, she took it up and blew it, and then looked in the sun. Du Xiaoli couldn''t help laughing because her eyes were shining. What a talker.
At this time, a gorgeous sedan chair came from the street and stopped outside the wind and snow building. Then down came a 15-year-old woman, dressed in a blue Ru skirt, wearing a blue hairpin on her head, a blue crystal pendant on her neck and a string of crystal beads on her hand. Beautiful face, quiet temperament, a pair of eyes seem to cover the whole world, and it seems that nothing has entered her world.
"What a strange woman." Du Xiaoli looked at the woman and said.
"That''s Fu Yalan, the young lady of Fu GE''s hometown. I heard that she grew up in a nunnery in Jiangnan. She said she had a hard life and had to grow up in a nunnery. She didn''t go home until she was ten years old. She came to the capital after living in Jiangnan''s hometown for two years." Du Xueqi said aside.
"Do you know her?" Du Xiaoli asked. Don''t Du Xueqi seldom go out? How do you know these people?
Du Xueqi shook her head and said, "I also often heard the second sister talk about her before I knew her. Later, when I was with several concubines, I saw her from a distance, so I know, I can''t know."
Miss Di Chu usually gets together with di Chu, and those from Shu Chu get together, but sometimes everyone will get together.
Soon Fu Yalan came up. She didn''t bring many people, only one personal servant girl.
"Miss Fu." Du Kexin just got up to say hello, but didn''t welcome him.
Fu Yalan nodded to Du Kexin and said, "didn''t the other ladies come up? It seems that Yalan came early."
"Other young ladies and young masters should be soon. Miss Fu has a cup of tea first." Du Kexin said. Xiaocui came forward and poured Fu Yalan a cup of tea.
Fu Yalan took a sip and said, "is this the new Yuhua tea in Jiangnan this year?"
"Miss Fu is really powerful. You can tell the origin of this tea at the first taste." Du Kehui praised.
"It''s just because I grew up in Jiangnan and know a little about the tea there." Fu Yalan smiled, looked at Du Xiaoli and Du Xiuheng and asked them, "who are these three?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother Du Xiuheng, this is my third sister Du Xiaoli, and this is my fifth sister Du Xueqi. The eldest brother and the third sister came to the capital the day before yesterday." Du Kexin said, "they used to live in the countryside and don''t know how to get along with each other, so if you neglect Miss Fu, please take care of her."
"Are they the children left by the prime minister?" Fu Yalan said, then smiled at Du Xiaoli and said, "Hello, my name is Fu Yalan. I grew up in the mountains before."
Although Fu Yalan didn''t usually communicate with the ladies in the capital, he couldn''t hear the meaning of Du Kexin''s words, so he introduced himself.
Du Xiaoli fell in love with Fu Yalan as soon as she heard Fu Yalan''s words and her tone of voice. He smiled at her and said, "Hello, Miss Fu."
After a while, several young masters and ladies came. Du Kexin introduced Du Xiaoli to them one by one, but they didn''t forget to mention Du Xiaoli''s former identity as a village girl.
Du Xiaoli looked at the boys and girls in a room and felt that the atmosphere of Fengming country was still very open. Unlike the previous feudal society, men and women were very strict when they met.
Some people heard that Du Xiaoli came from the countryside, with disdainful eyes in their eyes, and some even ignored them directly. After Du Xiaoli got to know each other, he sat back in his position and talked and laughed with Fu Yalan.
"Sister Kexin, are you almost here now?" said Chen Yue, the daughter of the Minister of war. She has a good relationship with Du Kexin. She is generally commensurate with her sisters.
Du Kexin looked at the people in the room and said, "there are still princess Changle and miss Ji, as well as master Mo and master Shui."
"Those four people don''t have to wait. Liuxia and you have been wrong that season, and it''s estimated that they won''t come today," Chen Yue said.
"Who said we wouldn''t come?" as soon as Chen Yue''s voice fell, Ji Liuxia''s voice came in from outside the door. Then the door opened, and Ji Liuxia and Han Mingxiang came in from outside. "See Princess Changle." the people in the room got up and saluted Han Mingxiang. "No gift. I''m just a guest at Miss Du''s invitation. You don''t have to be polite. Just be casual," Han Mingxiang said. "Princess Xie Changle." the people in the room got up and sat back to their seats. Du Xiaoli looked at Han Mingxiang and Ji Liuxia. They changed their horse riding clothes. They were more dignified and dignified than when they met before. Han Mingxiang glanced at Du Xiaoli, winked at her, sat at the top of the guest, and Ji Liuxia sat next to her. "Well, I''ll send Mr. Mo and Mr. Shui now." someone said. "Those two won''t come? They haven''t been to the previous party." Du Xiaoli asked Fu Yalan around him, "sister Yalan, who are Mr. Mo and Mr. Shui?" "Mr. Mo is the son of the governor of Southwest China and Mr. Shui is the son of the governor of Jiangnan Wujun. Mr. Mo and Mr. Shui are students of Sifang college. They are both outstanding in the college, but they don''t often come to the party." Fu Yalan patiently explained to Du Xiaoli. "Aren''t they at school? How can they come to the party?" Du Xiaoli said suspiciously. "Yesterday and today are public holidays." Fu Yalan said, "otherwise you think there will be so many people here?" "are some of them still reading?" Du Xiaoli asked.
