Chapter 140 Bullying
Yan Huo sat for a while and saw two unknown ladies coming to her side, with a slight cursing and sneering at the corners of his lips. He thought that the talented county lord Wenhe would have some unique methods, but it turned out that it was a common trick for women in the inner husband.
Since he had already seen it, Yan Huo naturally would not sit by the water. When they took action, they got up and walked away. Yan Huo remembered Zeng's teachings very clearly. When he was a guest outside, he would not climb high places, go to remote places, or approach the water. Especially when there were people who were not against him at the banquet, he would not be separated, so as not to be plotted against.
Yan Huo was sitting by the water on purpose just now, which attracted people to the trap. However, Yan Huo was still a little confused. If she fell into the water, the Wenhe County Lord would definitely stop Quemai and prevent her from going into the water. But the Wenhe County Lord could not watch her drown, so he should have arranged someone to save her. Wenhe County mainly destroyed her reputation, and the person arranged must be a man.
But this villa belongs to the Li family. A man appears at the gathering of the daughter of the boudoir. This also hinders the reputation of Wenhe County Lord. Wenhe County Lord should not be so stupid that he killed 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000 to himself.
Yan Huo frowned and murmured to himself, "Is there anyone else in the dark who wants to deal with me in addition to the open and in the dark?" This man wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only to get rid of her, but also to get rid of Wenhe County Lord.
Who would this person be?
Yan Hu's eyes slowly swept through the talented girls one by one. A small number of people never interacted with each other, and most of them were nodding friends that people had met at other banquets. She couldn't tell who the person in the dark would be.
At this time, the talented women who were painting sent the painting to the water pavilion for the five people to judge. County Lord Wenhe deliberately asked, "Why has Miss Yan's masterpiece not been sent in yet? But there is not much time."
"What's the hurry? You're rushing to reincarnate." Princess Heyi said angrily.
"So many paintings are not enough for the county lord, are you talking about? " Yu Qingqing took a picture and unfolded it, with a cluster of ink chrysanthemums on it.
These ladies have good talents, and this ink chrysanthemum is painted in a clear layer, with flowers and leaves lush. Of course, they are also a boudoir girl who has not experienced the world, so the pattern is still a little smaller.
Yu Qingqing said pertinently, "This painting is acceptable, and it is the best."
Time passed quietly as the five people's judgment passed. Half an hour passed. Except for Yan Hu and a few ladies who did not participate in the painting, the paintings of others were sent in. County Lord Wenhe raised the corners of his mouth, "The time limit has come, it seems that Miss Yan has not completed her painting." She knew that the poem was not written by Yan Hu. "Let's go and see the paintings that Miss Yan has not completed yet, and I don't know what kind of grand work will be like?"
This person's words were so ugly. Princess Heyi clenched her fist. What should she do if she wanted to hit someone?
Yu Qingqing did not speak, but reached out to grab Princess Heyi's wrist and smiled. She was confident in Yanhuo. The two followed the county lord Wenhe and the other two out of the pavilion and saw Yanhuo sitting under the tree, waving the fan leisurely, without painting at all.
"Miss Yan, why don't you paint?" County Lord Wenhe blurted out.
"I can write poetry first. If I can get the first one in painting, wouldn't it make others ashamed? So I didn't paint. Besides, I'm not the only one who doesn't paint. Why is the county lord staring at me?" Yan Huo pointed out bluntly that County Lord Wenhe was targeting her.
County Lord Wenhe was used to talking to people around the corner, and the needle was hidden in the cotton. Yan Hu's straightforwardness caught her off guard. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Because Miss Yan's poems are so good, I am full of expectations for Miss Yan's paintings. I am so disappointed when Miss Yan didn't paint."
"I'm quite disappointed. I thought I could see the county lord show off my talents this time, but I didn't expect the county lord to show off my talents. The county lord is the number one talented girl in the capital. It's better to draw a painting to let us see it." Yan Huo said with a smile. She has never been a person who can only take action and can't make moves.
"I really want to see it, too." Yu Qingqing said tacitly.
"Gentle, I want to see you too. You shouldn't let me down." Princess Heyi once again used her identity to suppress others.
"My county lord, just draw one." Someone of the talented women shouted.
There were too many people, and Yan Hu didn't find who it was, but it could be guessed that it was the one who wanted to plot against her and Wenhe County Lord. This man started, and the others followed suit. Yan Huo also made a final blow, "Can't the county lord be a frank person?"
"The most talented woman in Beijing is not true, and she can't even write a painting on the spot. It's really disappointing." Yu Qingqing sighed.
Princess Heyi pouted and said, "I said I won't come anymore. You two have to come and see me. Now you know the rumors are unreliable."
The three of them sang and reconciled. The county lord Wenhe, who was running, had to paint on the spot. She drew a picture of ammonites; the person holding her immediately said, "The lines of this painting are so exquisite!"
"The flowers and leaves are connected and completed in one go, which shows the strength of the county lord's writing."
"The thick stones and light flowers are light in color, and the county lord is really good at this."
In Yan Huo's opinion, this painting is too craftsmanship. Although it is skillful in brushwork and good in color matching, it has been practiced with hard work, just like other talented girls, her vision and experience have bound her, and she is not considered a masterpiece.
"Miss Yan, I have painted it, so please appreciate it." County Lord Wenhe showed a proud look on his face. Her name is a name for herself. She would not steal other people's poems like someone.
Yan Huo smiled indifferently, "I heard that the county lord got up early and quit the night before sleeping. He practiced in summer and practiced in winter and made a good choice to draw." Seeing that the pride on Wenhe's face became more and more intense, Yan Huo's lips were curled up, and she played with it first and then suppressed. This silly girl!
"The county lord is so diligent, he is a role model for us. If he had not practiced hard, how could he draw such a good painting?" The followers of the county lord Wenhe immediately said.
"Mr. Erzheng once said that diligence in learning painting is useless, you must have talent." Yu Qingqing's implication is obvious, and it is almost impossible to directly say that Wenhe County Lord is not as cheap as heaven.
Mr. Erzheng is a court painter and is deeply favored by the emperor. He is good at painting flowers and birds. Even if what he says is not a famous saying, it is very convincing.
Yan Huo gave Yu Qingqing a look of praise. Yu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. She grew up together and cooperated with the money-runner. She was easy to get it and didn't have to discuss it in advance.
The pride on Wenhe County Lord's face disappeared, and another clever lady quickly looked for a supplement, "The county lord's painting has both natural and charm, and natural as a wonderful product, and spiritual as a magical product. It can be seen that the county lord is not just practicing hard, but has a great style."
Yan Huo curled his lips and said, "Is it natural? The flower branches are painted too straight, and they appear stiff. The branches all have a certain arc. Look at the flowers over there. There are too many tendons of the flowers and leaves, which makes the picture look too full..."
Yan Huo covered his mouth and pretended to be distorted, "Oh, am I too straightforward? County lord, I'm so embarrassed. I think these gentlemen who teach you how to draw should have told you too."
Oh, she is such a bad person. Seeing that the face of Wenhe County Lord is smelly, why is she so happy? Originally, Wenhe County Lord coveted Fu Zhixing, but Yan Huo really didn't care much. Who made Fu Zhixing so outstanding? But Wenhe County Lord wants to deal with her, don't blame her for stripping her talented girl skin.
Although Yan Hu Wenhe County Lord was so angry that he was still not losing his composure. He felt more and more that this girl was not simple, and the level of prevention rose sharply. "Thank you for the invitation from the county lord. We still have something to do, so let's go first."
Yu Qingqing pulled Princess Heyi and left with Yan Huo and got on the carriage. Princess Heyi asked with a confused look on her face, "What else do we have?"
"It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?" Yan Huo asked with a smile.
Princess Heyi held her stomach and said, "I'm hungry, eating is a big deal."
"It's so interesting to see County Lord Wenhe being so angry that he was so angry with us." Yu Qingqing smiled.
"It's so good to bully others by relying on your power. I'm in such a good mood. I'll have a big meal later." Princess Heyi said excitedly.
"I treat you, please do whatever you want." Yan Hu said generously.
"Eat elbows with sauce." Princess Heyi prefers meat when eating, just like most foodies.
"I want to eat fried pigeons." Yu Qingqing prefers some chewy food.
"Go to Suxianglou, there are many varieties of dishes there." Yan Hu suggested.
The three of them took their maids and accompanied by the guards to Suxianglou and had a beautiful meal. After the meal, Princess Heyi smiled and said, "I heard that Cuizhenlou has a batch of good-looking rubies, let's go and have a look."
Although the three of them are still young, they like jewelry quite well. If so, go to Cuizhen Tower. This Cuizhen Tower can be the first in thousands of jewelry shops in Beijing because of its novel and exquisite style and exquisite craftsmanship. Like the star flower hairpin worn by Princess Heyi, the grasshopper hairpin worn by Yan Huo, and the small lantern earrings worn by Yu Qingqing, they are all produced by Cuizhen Tower.
The shopkeepers of Cuizhen Building often come in and out of major families, so naturally recognize the three princesses. Especially the characteristics of these three noble girls are too obvious. A thin beauty and a fat little girl can appear at the same time as these two people with very different figures. Apart from the lady from Duke Huai'en's Mansion, there is no one else.
"Please greet the princess and the two ladies." The shopkeeper saluted diligently and led them to the second floor, and was personally received by the master craftsman who made jewelry in the store.
Cuizhen Tower not only brought in a batch of rubies, but also a batch of jade and pearls. Compared to Princess Heyi likes various gems, Yan Hu prefers jade, while Yu Qingqing likes pearls. The three of them were talking about the style of jewelry with the master, and another guest came in.
Yan Huo looked down from a high place. It was a young lady with a maid with her eyes. She didn't recognize her. Rush continued to turn her head and said to the master, "The top of this jade hairpin is carved with kingfisher feather patterns. I don't want to bend it straight, it has to bend it a little curved. If this is the case, I'll draw it for you."
Yan Huo was painting the picture when he heard a woman showing off with a sharp voice, "This Cuizhen Building is the top jewelry shop in the capital. Those ladies and wives of aristocratic families all wore the jewelry of Cuizhen Building. I heard that the Empress wore the phoenix crown made of Cuizhen Building back then..."
This time I looked down at Princess Heyi, "It's the mother and daughter of the Zhu family."
After Zhu Shen finished showing off, Zhu Fenfang continued to show off, "The peony Ruyi collar I wore with jewels is a treasure of Cuizhenlou."
"Lan'er, just say whatever you like, and your second aunt will buy it for you." Zhu Shen said to the girl who came in with them.
"Thank you, my second aunt." The girl said happily.
When I went to the store to look at jewelry, I bought my own, but Zhu Fenfang liked to cause trouble. She had a dispute with the master and servant who came in for a flower and wrinkled silk hairpins. She wanted to steal the hairpins that they held in their hands, "Give me the hairpins in your hands."
The young lady frowned slightly, "I liked this hairpin first. You can ask me to get another one for you."
"I want this branch," Zhu Fenfang reached out and snatched it. "Where did you come out of the earth bun? Do you know that Cuizhenlou never has two pieces of jewelry of the same style?"
The lady took a step back and avoided Zhu Fenfang's hand, "Then you go and choose other jewelry."
Zhu Shen and the one named Lan'er came over. Zhu Shen was so proud of his shortcomings. It was obvious that Zhu Fenfang was acting unruly, but she still wanted to protect him. "This hairpin is small and exquisite, and it is quite suitable for Fang'er. It is not suitable for you. I'll hand it over quickly."
The lady looked a little struggling. She had just entered Beijing, and the nobles and high-ranking officials in the capital were everywhere. She didn't want to offend people for a hairpin, but she really liked this hairpin.
"Let me tell you, my aunt is the Crown Princess, please hand over the hairpin quickly." Zhu Fenfang brought the Crown Princess out to suppress others.
When the lady heard that she was the niece of the Crown Princess, she dared to hesitate and handed over the hairpin. At this time, a voice sounded, "Zhu Fenfang, just forget it if you are shameless, don't ruin the reputation of the Crown Princess' aunt all day long."
The one who spoke for justice was Princess Heyi, and Yan Hu and Yu Qingqing followed her. The love rival was particularly jealous when they met. In Zhu Fenfang's eyes, Yan Hu was her love rival, although Yan Hu did not admit it. Zhu Fenfang ignored Princess Heyi and stared at Yan Hu, "Yan Hu, why are you here?"
"You are Nanping's daughter, and you have a fat and pig-brained body." Zhu Shen had never met these little girls and mistakenly recognized Princess Heyi as Yan Hu.
Princess Heyi was immediately annoyed, "You are afraid you are blind."
Yan Huo smiled and waved his hand, "Auntie Pig, I am the daughter of Princess Nanping. This is Princess Heyi of Princess Qin's Mansion, don't make any mistakes."
"Miss, don't be afraid. The Crown Princess is amiable and always convinced people with reason. It is true that Aunt Pig is the Crown Princess' sister, but what she did has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has a lot of things recently and does not know that they are bullying others outside. If they know, they will not spare it." Yu Qingqing comforted the lady with a little pale face.
The lady said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess Heyi, thank you, Miss Yan, thank you... Miss." She thanked her, hurriedly left with her maid, and didn't want the hairpin.
"Three dead girls who meddled with other people's business, Fang'er, Lan'er, let's go." Zhu Shen knew that her sister didn't like her. She handed her posts to the East Palace several times, but they were refuted. She only dared to pull the tiger skin to make a big banner in front of the unknown. Facing the three princesses, she did not dare to take it on her shoulders.
