The fringed tassels of the phoenix swayed back and forth, creating a pearly glow.
Ever since she made a fool of herself at the Mo family's banquet that day, she has never left the house.
But I was in a good mood today, so I invited a few people who usually hang out together.
"This retribution comes too quickly! You are so crazy that even God can't stand it." Cui Mingzhu did not conceal her gloating: "I don't know how many times this arrogant Miss Cen cried.
Tears?"
She invited these people here, saying they wanted to taste fruit snacks, but in fact she wanted to laugh at Cen Yunchu together.
There were four or five ladies with her, all wearing gauze clothes and scented clothes.
Each person held an exquisite round fan in his hand, but it was very cool in the garden, so the fan was not used for fanning.
"Who knows, we are not familiar with her, otherwise we could really go and visit her." The face of the speaker was a bit thick with powder, and it was not the same color as her hands.
She is the daughter of Yangshan Bo Chen's family. She is tall but dark-skinned.
"Ask Mo Yuzhen, she probably knows." A young lady with thin eyebrows said, "After all, the two families are related."
She is a young lady from the Wu family. She looks pretty good, but her teeth are not very good. She always deliberately covers her mouth with a silk scarf when she talks and laughs.
As the saying goes, good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The story of Cen Yunchu's fortune telling has now become known to everyone. Cui Mingzhu and others had some issues with her, so after hearing this, they naturally relieved their hatred and took advantage of their wishes.
"Mr. Zuo said that she has the weakest destiny, and she cannot bear any blessings. It is not obvious when she is not married. If she is married, even if her husband's family is as rich as the enemy, and he is a prince, he will not be able to bear it.
Her family was ruined by her, and she couldn't even get a living even if she begged for food." said Ms. Yang, who was playing cards with her that day.
"What's even more funny is that her father actually went to plead for her, hoping that Mr. Zuo would expose her. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zuo said that unless she didn't want her status, she would only be a concubine. Since she didn't have a status, it wouldn't count."
Cui Mingzhu covered half of her face with the round fan in her hand, but she couldn't hide her pride: "The dignified eldest lady of the Yongning Marquis Mansion has fallen to this level. I might as well have hit her head against the wall and died."
"
Cen Tong finally went to visit Zuo Zhengqing, but unfortunately, he did not get the results he wanted.
"In this case, Miss Cen will probably have to stay at home all the time. Previously, her enchanting appearance and reputation as a talented woman were very deceiving, and many people were thinking of proposing marriage. How could it be possible with her background?
If she becomes someone's concubine, wouldn't it mean that her ancestors will lose their face?" Miss Chen shook her head and said.
"Even if she doesn't marry, she will be completely disgraced." Cui Mingzhu sighed happily and said, "I knew a long time ago that looking like that would be a disaster!"
Cen Yunchu was born so well, but even the people in the paintings were a little less delicate and agile compared to her.
The saying that beauties are destined to die should still make sense!
"Actually, many people have some bad things when they go to have a photoshoot," Miss Wu said. "Mr. Zuo will also give some advice, or change his name, or wear a piece of jade. For example, I want to do it every time."
On the first day of every month, I go to Guanyin Temple to worship and repent."
Half of the people here had asked Zuo Zhengqing to see her face and knew that what she said was true.
"But to be honest, I was really nervous when I went to see the portrait. Mr. Zuo and I were separated by a gauze screen and just sat there without talking. It took half a stick of incense to make my legs weak." Chen
The young lady covered her chest with a lingering fear on her face.
"Who says it's not the case?" Ms. Zhang finished eating another apricot: "I was too scared to breathe."
They all asked Zuo Zhengqing to take a picture and were told what kind of person they would be compatible with and what kind of person they would be compatible with.
There are also some methods of being tired of winning, which are used to make up for the shortcomings.
"Shanshan, why don't you speak? In the past, you loved talking about these things the most." Miss Yang noticed that Xue Shanshan was different from before.
"My throat feels uncomfortable, maybe because I caught the wind at night." Xue Shanshan coughed a few times and said.
Although everyone didn't believe it, they didn't delve into it.
On the stone table of the pavilion stood a fine pastel porcelain vat filled with fresh fruits.
"You all have a try on these lychees. They come as tribute from Lingnan." Cui Mingzhu pointed to the red-skinned fruits with branches and leaves in the vat and said, "It tastes good to me, but it's just not as big as in previous years."
"Let's go to the lake another day. It's getting hotter and hotter. You have to cool down in a place with water." Miss Zhang next to her said: "I don't know about you, but I am the most afraid of heat."
This Miss Zhang likes sweets very much, and she had already peeled four or five lychees and ate them while she was talking.
Her face is round, her hands are as fat as a baby's, and her knuckles have deep dimples.
"Let's forget about the Dragon Boat Festival," Cui Mingzhu said: "In my opinion, we might as well bring Meng Qiao with us next time."
Her words were responded to immediately, and several others also agreed.
The reason why I brought Meng Qiao with me was because she was exactly the opposite of Cen Yunchu, and Zuo Zhengqing gave her excellent comments.
It is said that she has great blessings, has a prosperous husband and a prosperous family, has good looks for men, and is blessed with a royal title.
Therefore, although Chen Mengqiao is a concubine, this is enough to increase her worth several times.
"Speaking of it, this Meng Qiao is really good. Although she has received such criticism, I haven't seen her show off anything. She has not been out at home these days." The Wu family and the Meng family are not far apart, and she knows better than others.
.
"You could see it even at Mo's house that day. While Cen Yunchu was so arrogant that he looked at people through his nostrils, Meng Qiao was always gentle and kind and not annoying." Miss Zhang piled up a tall pile of lychee shells in front of her and served her
The maid took away all the peels, and she washed her hands with the water in the porcelain jar.
"Who else was having their fortune telling with them that day?" Miss Yang asked curiously.
"I know there are four girls from the Sun family," Miss Zhang took over, "I don't know about the remaining two."
"It seems to be the two from the Cong family and the Gao family." Xue Shanshan's information is still better than others.
"Although the two of them are mediocre, they are still better than Cen Yunchu." Cui Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "It seems that this person is still more than his appearance."
Others also echoed their agreement.
After everyone talked for a while, the maid came over and told Cui Mingzhu that lunch was ready.
Cui Mingzhu then said to everyone: "Let's go to the flower hall to eat. I have a new cook who is trying it out. You guys should also help and see if it is good. If it is good, you can stay."
Then everyone got up one after another, helped the girl get out of the pavilion, and went to the flower hall.
