Linque

Shanglin Garden is located in the northwest of Jiuchongque, across Jingshan Mountain and across Mission Hills Lake, with a circumference of hundreds of miles, it is Dayin's royal garden.

Yichun Garden is one of the gardens with water. The running water drawn from Jingshan goes around the whole garden, and finally gathers into a hot spring at the westernmost side of the garden. The flowers and plants in the garden are nourished by the hot spring water, even in winter. It is still thriving and full of flowers.

In this season, the best flower in the garden is a piece of Gongfen plum planted at the gate of the garden. It was a complete accident that Chu Xin met Jing Xueli here.

The aristocrats of the aristocratic families gather together, although it is to bond with each other, but the more they are rich and famous, the more they pay attention to each other's power and status, and the more they like to divide people into ranks, so this kind of banquet, Whether intentional or not, everyone will always spontaneously divide into several circles.

The young men and women gathered together to play at the behest of their elders. When the spring heart sprouted, they would unconsciously set their eyes on a certain person.If this person is the eldest son and daughter of the most central circle, there will only be more eyes on him.

And this eldest son who is in the circle of everyone's attention, if he always looks at someone more intentionally or unintentionally - especially if the person he looks at is enviable and beautiful, but his identity happens not to be the most noble among the aristocrats. Noble, then she is bound to be targeted with a lot of implied hostility.

Just like now.

Several girls on horseback waited for the princes to go away, and after confirming that their eyes could no longer reach this place, they rode forward and stopped firmly in front of the beautiful girl.

Even if he is reluctant, he has to admit that the girl standing there quietly in front of her eyes can be called a scenery in itself, with her beautiful eyebrows against the sea of ​​bright red flowers behind her, and when she raises her head lightly, she is a "human being". The bright color of "peach blossoms on the surface are red".

The girl unconsciously clenched the rein in her hand, raised her chin slightly, and said straight to the point: "I hope you understand that the person who just walked past is not something you can imagine, but this does not mean that your Zhongpinghou's residence is not worthy of the Han family." , but yourself—”

The girl paused for a while, with a wicked smile on her lips, and said word by word: "It's because your own threshold is not high enough to be worthy of a Korean prince."

The young and energetic girl is so jealous and speaks harsh words without any scruples.

Chu Xin frowned and said nothing. In fact, she didn't look at anyone just now, but she didn't intend to explain to the person in front of her who came here to find fault.

It is true that the Zhongli Chu family is one of the sixteen families of Dayin, and the status of the Zhongpinghou Mansion in Kyushu is not low. Said in the circle of noble girls.If the circle is narrowed to the interior of the Sixteenth Aristocratic Family, when all the nobles with hairpin tassels are around, Chu Xin's advantage will be very little left.

The girl who spoke was the eldest daughter of the Qiling Wen family, and she clearly knew this very well—Chu Xin's biological mother was of low status, so Wen Yuan could continue to ask condescendingly, "Why didn't you respond? Am I right?"

Chu Xin frowned, clenched her palms, pursed her lips and looked away, but still didn't speak.

It was at this time that the big witch appeared. She walked around the plum forest with a basket of flowers, wearing a skirt of the same color as the pink plum, so that no one noticed the existence of Jing Xueli just now.

"She is stronger than you." Jing Xueli said bluntly: "If she wants, she can pull you off the horse and step on the ground right now, so that you can know what your own threshold is."

When Jing Xueli said this, her expression was leisurely and her tone was casual. In fact, she just happened to pass by and heard the dispute between the girls, so she just told the truth. By the way, I would like to remind the domineering girl to be careful when speaking outside, otherwise It's too late to regret it until you pay the price.

But this too blunt reminder falls on the ears of others, it is very ugly and unkind.

Wen Yuan was loved and raised by her family like pearls and jade, even if she was placed in the sixteenth generation's family, she would be the object of everyone's admiration. She had never heard a word of heavy talk in Dalian since she was a child. Not to mention in front of my friends.As soon as he gritted his silver teeth, his face sank immediately.

It's just that before Wen Yuan could get angry, Jing Xueli saw through her displeasure when she raised her eyes, and added with a half-smile: "Girl, I'm telling the truth."

Wen Yuan choked immediately, and the words she was about to say were blocked back.She had heard about Chu Xin's deeds when she was studying at the Chu family. At that time, among all the noble girls in Zhongli, no one was a match for Chu Xin, and no one could even pass a hundred tricks under her hands. If it weren't for the fact that men and women were tested separately, Perhaps Zhongli's young masters would also bow their heads and admit defeat in front of her.

Dayin's women did not regard husband and child as the only golden rule like the previous dynasty.Dayin's Taizu Empress is a Mahayana realm. Back then, she and Taizu fought in all directions, not only against the brutal rule of the previous dynasty, but also the corrupt customs and stereotypes.Empress Taizu asked all the girls of Dayin to come from the back house to the front hall, and to the grand sky outside. Women in aristocratic families can be precious but not weak. Being strong is the foundation of the world, so they will also leave. Study at home.

And Chu Xin is obviously the best among them, Wen Yuan has to admit that in the circle of Tianhuang nobles, the only thing about Chu Xin that can be criticized by others is her background.It is precisely because this background can never be changed that they can be unscrupulous - Chu Xin is not yet strong enough to break this boundary and look down on everyone.

Wen Yuan was trampled on by Jing Xueli's truth, and her face turned blue and white.She sat on the horse and looked at this presumptuous woman carefully. Jing Xueli's clothes today are not gorgeous, she is wearing a concubine-colored skirt, and only a jadeite walker is inserted diagonally in her hair. Maybe it is too simple, so she Using local materials and wearing a newly picked plum blossom with double petals on the head, this attire does not look like a nobleman.

Wen Yuan grew up in an aristocratic family circle, and there is no Madam Gaomen who she does not know, and Jing Xueli is not any of these people—then there is no need to have any scruples, so she immediately said with a serious face : "Who are you, do you have a place to speak here?"

These words fell into Jing Xueli's ears, the big witch raised his eyebrows lightly, and immediately smiled.She appreciates young and motivated juniors who can even stand out from others. Young people are very high-spirited, but it's not right to be arrogant, especially after being reminded that they still go their own way, which makes Jing Xueli very uncomfortable.

So the big witch opened and closed her lipsticked red lips, and said the most unkind words: "I have never seen such a ignorant girl like you."

Wen Yuan was furious: "You..."

Jing Xueli interrupted her, and continued: "You should be thankful, this is your Dayin, so you don't have to pay the price of speaking wild words in front of me for the time being."

Wen Yuan was sitting on the horse, so when Jing Xueli was talking to her, she needed to raise her head slightly, but the difference in height did not take away half of her aura. At this moment, it was not Wen Yuan who was condescending, but Jing Xueli——

This is the kindness that can only be tempered by staying in the top position for a long time, and being the top position.

Wen Yuan didn't ignore the words "You Dayin" in Jing Xueli's mouth, suddenly an ominous premonition surged in her heart, and she looked at the simple-dressed person in front of her in surprise.

Her conjecture was soon verified, Jing Xueli didn't speak to her any more, and beckoned to the servant not far away who was tending flowers and branches.

Jing Xueli was a distinguished guest invited by the Empress Dowager herself, and all the servants serving in Lin Yichun Garden recognized her, so she trotted forward and asked with a bow, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Jing Xueli nodded first in thanks: "Please help me move a table, I will draw peach blossoms here later."

The servant quickly responded, and was about to leave, when Jing Xueli stopped him suddenly, glanced at Wen Yuan who was stunned on the spot, and asked, "Which family is she from? I saw that the little girl looks pretty, Can speak well."

Jing Xueli's tone was brisk, so the servant didn't notice anything wrong, and introduced eagerly: "Master Guoshi doesn't recognize, this is the young lady of Wenhou's family."

"I see, you go." Jing Xueli nodded, and when the waiter walked away, Fang turned sideways to look at Wen Yuan whose face was fading.

Everyone knows that Dayin does not have a national teacher, and now looking at the entire imperial capital, there is only one person who will be called a national teacher—Nanxi great witch Jing Xueli.

Wen Yuan looked at Jing Xueli who was slowly walking forward in horror, but unexpectedly, the big witch didn't care, just patted her hand holding the rein, and said with a half-smile: "Who am I? Is the eldest lady clear now? You have to remember in the future, even in front of your emperor, I have a place to speak."

Wen Yuan's face was pale, and she withdrew her hand abruptly.

Jing Xueli seemed dissatisfied with her reaction: "Why don't you respond, am I wrong?"

——This is what she said to Chu Xin just now.

Wen Yuan's body froze for a moment, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes."

Jing Xueli nodded, glanced at the girls who were traveling with Wen Yuan one by one, and said very generously: "Young people correct their mistakes when they know it, that's very good."

Her voice was gentle, as if she really didn't care about the offense just now.Wen Yuan looked at her timidly, and the moment their eyes met, Jing Xueli smiled kindly, which put the girls at ease.

So no one noticed, when she turned around, Jing Xueli's eyes suddenly darkened.

If Yinsong were here, she would definitely tell them that Master Guoshi has a small mind and only likes to be praised, so she must not be offended—so what she said before was temporary.
