Chapter 3 Luoyang Three Wonders
The next day, several maids squatted together under the old locust tree in the backyard of Changsun’s mansion and whispered.』 81
"Do you know, that third lady was so sick before. The imperial doctors from the palace said they were helpless. It took only a while to have enough food and sleep now, and run around the yard, which is more difficult than before."
"Of course I know. There is such a big deal in the mansion, and everyone is talking about the third lady who has lost her memory. I also heard that His Highness Qin is so gentle to our third lady. It's so envious!"
"That's right, don't look at some people who are not outstanding, but they are just lucky. Look at the third lady and the second lady standing together. The third lady has no temperament and looks, like a maid with a noble dress. On weekdays, they go out together, and the young men outside think they are a pair of masters and servants, and do you know why no one came to propose marriage to the third lady before?"
"On weekdays, I saw Miss Xiang Er coming to propose marriage and I had to break through the threshold. I really haven't seen Miss San. Why is that?"
"Originally, most of the men nowadays like gentle and gentle women with dignified ladies, but there are also military generals who want to get along with the third lady afterwards. However, every time the second lady appears as the eldest lady, she is very enthusiastic about the young masters who want to propose marriage. Those young masters see that the second lady is outstanding and unmarried girls are like a ecstasy soup that is not the second lady who is not married."
"Ah, I didn't expect that this happened before. This second lady clearly wanted to embarrass her sister!"
"Do you think, this sister hasn't married yet. Will she be willing to let her sister get married first?"
"Don't there be many people coming to propose marriage for the second lady? Why haven't you gotten married after so long?"
"Why, you have a high vision! Now the King of Qin only favors our third lady. Maybe her sister is jealous of her to death!"
“…”
The two maids, tall and short, were chatting vigorously, and did not notice a slender figure on an old tree not far away.
"I didn't expect that I would be heard by someone in the corner of the wall. It's really a turn of feng shui. This wealthy family loves gossip, and these old sesame and grain are talked about with relish." Yinyin lay on the big tree with her hands under her head, "This day is really boring, either drinking porridge or medicine. Where did my little maid die? There was no one in sight for a few hours."
After the two maids walked away, Yinyin jumped out of the tree, clapped her hands, and walked towards her yard swaying.
"Miss, where did you go in the morning? I can't find anyone everywhere. I guess you will definitely come back to have lunch at noon. I will run back to wait for you." The little maid saw Yinyin appear and hurriedly pulled her master's arm into the house.
"Don't you call me a slave, aren't you called Fuping? You're about the same age as me, so call yourself Ping'er in the future!" Yinyin stretched out her arm and put it on the little maid's thin shoulder, looking like two brothers.
"I don't dare to do this. This is a rule. I don't dare to mess with the rules." The little maid looked timid.
"The rules are determined by the master. Am I your master?" Yinyin raised her eyebrows, which made her look a bit majestic.
"Yes, Ping'er knows." The little maid is a master of the current affairs.
"I'll ask you, why do you look like you love and fear the King of Qin? I think that guy is quite likable!" Yinyin changed her tone and came to the point.
"Miss, don't you think Your Highness is majestic? But that's true. Your Highness of Qin is so gentle to the lady. Miss is definitely not afraid of him." The little maid Ping'er said, "Your Highness of Qin is like a god of war, holding a long spear, and leading thousands of troops into Chang'an, attacking Luoyang, killing Kokang, and saving the people from the fire and water in troubled times. The people respect him, and the Turks are all him. Miss, you don't know how many girls are obsessed with him!"
"And there is a saying among the people that there are three great masters in Luoyang, magnolia, purple bamboo and peony." The little maid continued.
"I know this. The storyteller said that this magnolia is the prince who is known as the prince of the Magnolia. Zizhu is the King of Qin. Peony is the peony that blooms. It is called the Three Jues of Luoyang. I am right!"
Yinyin sat on the chair of the Grand Master, shaking her legs, and said proudly: "No wonder I think you all talk about His Highness, the King of Qin, sounds familiar. It turns out that Zhuzijun, who is said to be beautiful and can fight in groups."
"Miss, when did you go to hear the storyteller? Why didn't Ping'er know?" The little maid looked at Yinyin with confusion.
"Ahem, I, the master, will naturally not report everything to you!" Yinyin began to make a fool of herself.
"That's the same..." the little maid said very well, "But next time the lady sneaks out, remember to bring Ping'er with her..."
"Ping'er, I asked you, since I was very familiar with Zhuzijun before, I wonder if I am familiar with the magnolia?"
"Miss, you really forgot about it. You have never met His Highness the King of Qin before!" The little maid said in surprise.
"Puff!" Yinyin just swallowed the iron-sighing Guanyin, and suddenly a girl scattered flowers and sprayed them everywhere. "What, at first I thought I didn't know him, but I saw that he was very familiar with me. It turned out that I really didn't know him!"
"When the palace came down to propose marriage, it was a portrait you made by your own lady. What it said was just a process and a foil. So I only drew the side, saying that I was afraid of tainting the eyes of Your Highness." The little maid recalled.
"I want me to tell you that this bamboo is still unique and wise." Yinyin was content with her. She chose the two portraits for the King of Qin, but she just took a fancy to her. What does this mean? It means that she has vision and understands the meaning. "Ping'er, then let's talk about the prince and the King of Qin, how about it?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is famous all over the world, can be good at literature and martial arts, is invincible, respects the wise and the inferior, and is deeply loved by the people..."
"Stop, stop! These are also heard from you. Do you know more details, such as how you look and what your personality are?" Yinyin raised the heart of gossip.
"Ping'er also heard from the young master that the prince should have a more beautiful appearance and a gentler personality, and is a very close person!" The little maid added another cup of tea to Yinyin and continued, "The prince's prince is now in the imperial capital Chang'an. When he was in the old capital Luoyang, he was famous in Luojing. The people rushed to see his style. People who have seen him said that Mr. Magnolia is so beautiful, and no matter how ruthless he is, he is moving."
Just as the master and servant were having fun, a figure in blue brocade floated up: "San Sister, look at what good things brother has brought you!"
The person who said this was the eldest young master, eldest grandson Fuji. When Yinyin heard the sound, the person had a high nose bridge, his sword-like eyebrows flew into his temples. His three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as a knife, and his red lips with moderate thickness were now rippling with a dazzling smile: "I just saw the new product in the jade store. My brother thinks it is very suitable for the third girl. Come on, try putting it on."
Yinyin was looking at the sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and the strong body of Fu Ji was stunned. She sighed that this brother who came out of nowhere was really good. After looking at this, her eyes fell back to the carved box held by Fu Ji Ji.
There is a white jade hairpin in the box. The crabapple flower on the hairpin is extremely exquisitely carved, an agate stone dotted on the stamens, and the flowers and leaves are depicted with golden silk, with exquisite workmanship.
"Brother, was this for me?"
Jiao Ji nodded with a smile, took out the jade hairpin and handed it to Yinyin. Yinyin immediately ran to the dressing mirror, gestured twice and put it on her head, and her pretty and ordinary little face made her look brighter. Yinyin turned her head and looked at Jiao Ji: "Brother, you have a good look. This jade hairpin is quite expensive!"
"Fortunately, as long as the third sister likes it!" Fu Ji looked at Yinyin's energetic appearance and felt relieved.
Although the third sister is cheerful and straightforward and does not care about the details, because of this, she has never been able to settle for her life. Now she has finally hoped to have a good relationship and the prince treats her sincerely. Who knows that she will have drowning and amnesia again?
He was really afraid that these three sisters would not recover. Fortunately, she was still cheerful, and the King of Qin did not despise her because of this. Seeing that the two got along well and were harmonious, his elder brother had an explanation for his father who died young.
Seeing Fuji looking at her thoughtfully, Yinyin ran to him, looked at Fuji obediently and said, "Brother, do you still have any silver?"
"Silver?" The auxiliary machine was slightly stunned and took out the purse from his arms. "There are not much left, only these ingots of silver..." The auxiliary machine placed the silver on the tea table and then dug out the cuffs. "There are still a few silver notes here."
"However, you want these gold and silver things to do. I don't have much of them. If you don't have enough, I'll take some of them." The auxiliary Ji smiled happily and said with a faint smile.
Yinyin took the silver notes into her arms and grinned, "Those are enough. I'm not that kind of greedy person." After that, she pushed the auxiliary machine out of the house, "Okay, I'll accept both the Jade hairpin and the silver. Brother, let's go first."
