Ruo was a little shy when he first saw him, nodded and blushed, and said weakly: "Xiao Ruo has not seen many talented young people, but only spends time with the young master. I don't even know what the so-called Mr. Cao looks like. After thinking about it, I will follow suit."
The young master's makeup is done. If the young master is not satisfied, Xiao Ruo can change it again."
Xia Shang shook his head: "It's too late, let's set off now. Dongyue Mansion is two hours away from Hero Village, so it's just the right time to set off now."
Ruo Chu said "Oh" when he saw her and walked out of the house with small steps. But after walking a few steps, Xia Shang called out to him again: "Xiao Ruo, you can't do this."
When I first met, I turned around with a confused look on my face: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"You are playing a man now, Cao Xueqin. Is there any man in the world who can walk like a cat like you?"
Chu Jian blushed, nodded, stood there and thought for a while, thinking about how the young master usually walked, and tried to take steps.
Although she was deliberately imitating, her steps were still cautious and soft, also because she had no experience in dressing up as a man.
There is no way, time is too short, there is no time to train, that's all.
The packaging plan for Chujian was improvised by Xia Shang, so everything was arranged in a hurry. Mr. Dongyue's garden party also happened to coincide with the time. Xia Shang only had one day to go to Dongyue Mansion with Cao Xueqin's greeting card.
Mr. Yue said hello, and Mr. Dongyue replied as expected and invited Mr. Cao to come to Dongyue Mansion to attend the garden party.
Therefore, Xia Shang had such an invitation temporarily.
If I saw someone riding in a car for the first time today, Xia Shang dressed as a knight and rode in front to escort him. He was accompanied by several servants dressed as book boys. Along the way, many pedestrians stopped to watch and wonder who was in the car.
A distinguished official.
It's sunny today, but there are still muddy puddles in the streets and alleys of Suzhou City, and ruts can be seen everywhere on the streets near Dongyue Mansion. I think there are indeed many noble people going to Dongyue Mansion today.
Before Xia Shang and others arrived, the Dongyue Mansion was already buzzing with excitement. Several junior students in front of the door respectfully took the greeting cards. There were two stone lions in front of the door. The Dongyue Mansion housekeeper nominated them one by one before letting them in.
Mansion.
At this moment, several carriages decorated with flowers and brocades arrived, and a house full of ladies got out of the carriages with excitement on their faces. After getting off the carriages, they gathered together and hurriedly came up to send greetings.
The young students on the side all looked at it with bright eyes, thinking to themselves, what kind of day is today? These are not the famous wealthy daughters of Suzhou City, but ladies who usually stay at home. I have never heard that any of them likes poetry.
, how come you took the initiative to come to Dongyue Mansion?
Mr. Dongyue's garden party is an extraordinary poetry party.
Generally speaking, poetry fairs attract girls because there are fewer poems about fighting than essays, and there are more love talks.
As for Mr. Dongyue's garden party, there were many senior Confucian scholars who were paranoid about literature, and the cultural atmosphere was more important. The young people who participated did not dare to talk about their romance in front of these seniors, so most girls did not like it.
.There are also very few women participating, and even less women are welcome to participate.
Today, several ladies from all the ladies gathered together and took the initiative to invite them in. This is really new. But it is good news for the young gentlemen who participated today.
However, just when the students next to them were full of expectations, the housekeeper of Dongyue Mansion returned the invitations one by one after reading them, and all the girls refused to enter the residence.
Now, the girls in front of the door stopped working, and started arguing with the housekeeper one by one. I have to ask clearly what is the reason for this?
It's really strange that these girls still linger on and refuse to give up.
"It's really strange today. Aren't these Miss Fang from Yuzhai Jinxiang, Miss Li from Lijia Cloth Shop, Miss Liu from Suhang Salt Department, and Miss Yu from Huaijiang Weaving Department?"
"No, these are some of the most famous tough guys in Suzhou City, and they don't like studying the most."
"I heard that Miss Fang also beat the teacher and burned down the entire academy."
"They... why did they come to Dongyue Mansion?"
"Who knows? Look at this situation. If Dongyue Mansion gets into trouble with them, I'm afraid these aunts will set the house on fire."
"Forget it, forget it, it's better not to look at it. These aunts are good-looking, but they can't be offended."
While they were talking, the girls who were noisy in front of the door couldn't hold back their anger. Miss Fang, who had beaten her husband and burned down the academy, suddenly stretched out her hand from the crowd and grabbed the housekeeper's beard, and the housekeeper wailed.
, was suddenly pulled and staggered.
Several servants of Dongyue Mansion screamed in shock: "This has turned the world upside down! How dare you act wild in Dongyue Mansion!"
The servants flashed their sticks one after another, and were about to attack several girls.
These servants were a little less discerning, but they frightened the housekeeper so much that he lost his temper. Not only did he have his beard removed, he shouted loudly: "You can't fight! You can't fight!"
The housekeeper of Dongyue Mansion understands that these aunts are all influential figures in Suzhou City. The Dongyue Mansion relies entirely on Mr. Dongyue's reputation, but has no real power. Compared with these girls who control the business and officialdom of Suzhou,
That's not worth mentioning. If you hit it with this stick, it will cause trouble.
The servants were stunned, holding their sticks in the air and forgetting to stop.
Miss Buyansi Qianjinliu rolled her eyes, said "Oh!" and collapsed on the ground, and immediately began to howl.
These aunts were all very excited. When they heard what Miss Liu was saying, the other aunts also slumped down on the ground and wailed, each with his own opinion.
"You Dongyue Mansion are so brave and don't take Huaijiang Weaving seriously. I...I will sue you to daddy."
"What kind of skills do you men have in bullying women? Fortunately, it's Mr. Dongyue. It's really insulting, undignified, and rude."
"Oh, my hands, my waist, and my little belly hurt so much!"
Seeing this situation, the housekeeper of Dongyue Mansion immediately broke out in sweat and begged for mercy, but how could a man of half a hundred years be a match for four young girls? No matter what he said, he was wailed by this wave.
The sound was drowned out.
There was really no other way, so the housekeeper shouted with all his strength: "I'd like to invite some ladies to come into the house to view the garden!"
Upon hearing this, the girls immediately stopped talking, stood up as if nothing had happened, shook the dust off their bodies, straightened their clothes, held their heads high, and walked into the house with great swagger.
Several scholars at the door quickly pushed away, for fear of offending these aunts.
Several people were also stunned and couldn't help but murmured to themselves: "Is this okay?"
At this time, another voice came: "Young Master Jiang is indeed famous in Jiangnan. When I heard that Mr. Jiang came to participate in this garden poetry party, even these rich ladies who never left home rushed to come and see Mr. Jiang's style.
