Chapter 456 Invitation to the Poetry Club
The poster was Lin Xiaoyu, the third lady from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. The title was a poetry meeting led by her. It was scheduled to be held the next day to invite Cen Xiyan to attend.
In fact, it was not just Cen Xiyan who received the post. Except for Cen Xifang who was too young, the other five girls who had not been married, all received the posts.
When Cen Xiqin got the post, she began to frown, "Lin Xiaoyu? She has something wrong with sending us such a post?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Xiyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong with this post?"
These young men and noble girls in the capital often hold flower viewing parties, poetry parties and other names, come to gather and have fun, exchange feelings, and win over relationships. As the daughter of the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, Cen Xiqin should have participated in many such activities? Why do you think she seems to be very repulsive of this poetry party now?
But speaking of this poem meeting is indeed quite inappropriate. It is now the second half of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year will be celebrated in ten days. Every household will be very busy at this time, especially some high-ranking families with many people and many things, and they are even more busy. What kind of poetry meeting will the third lady in Lin’s house lead at this time?
Cen Xiqin curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Jin Fang, we can't play with Lin Xiaoyu. In the past, she held poetry parties, flower parties, etc. Most of the girls in our Cen family only invite Cen Xihan and Cen Xifen. What are you doing this time? She actually sent us five posts. She is so idle? She still thinks others are very idle too!"
Cen Xiqin's tone revealed her deep dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the third lady Lin Xiaoyu.
Cen Xiyan understood that in fact, these noble girls are divided into different circles. Cen Xiqin, Jin Fang, and Lin Xiaoyu are obviously not people in the same circle.
It sounds like Cen Xihan and Cen Xifen seem to be good with Lin Xiaoyu?
Cen Xiyan mobilized his powerful memory that he could never forget, recalled the relationship list given to her by the moon about the nobles of the high ranks in the capital, and there was really some information about Lin Xiaoyu.
The third daughter of the right prime minister Lin Qiming is the legitimate lady born to the wife of Lin Qiming. She is sixteen years old and is rumored to be very beautiful and talented. She is one of the most talented and beautiful women in the capital. Like Cen Xihan, she is very famous and popular in the capital.
However, it is said that Miss Lin San's personality is a bit difficult to get along with. Of course, because of her identity, appearance and talent, she has the capital to be arrogant, so her somewhat unpleasant temperament has been ignored or tolerated by many people.
Cen Xiyan was really not interested in going to such a boring poetry meeting, and she was still such a proud girl.
However, she really had to go to this party because she was the sixth lady of the Cen family. With this identity, she couldn't break out of the circle of noble women in the capital. She didn't want to be too independent, so she could only try to accept something, even though this boring social engagement made her very impatient.
Moreover, this poem meeting post was the first official party invitation post she received after returning to Beijing. It was hard to find an excuse not to attend the first time.
"It's a bit strange, but it's useless to worry about these things now. Don't think too much." Cen Xiyan said lightly.
There were events in the past, Lin Xiaoyu only invited Cen Xihan and Cen Xifen from Cen's mansion. This time, she invited five unmarried girls from Cen's mansion. It was just strange, but Cen Xiyan didn't want to think about this matter carefully because she never planned to truly integrate into them, and there was no need to waste time or brain cells.
"Dangerous?" Cen Xiqin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is an interesting word." Because the literal meaning of this word is easy to understand, and then contact the whole sentence Cen Xiyan said, so Cen Xiqin understood the meaning of the word and found it very fresh and interesting, so she learned it and said, "Okay, don't worry about this matter now. Then we will go and see what tricks she wants to play. If it is too boring, we will leave early."
The two sisters decided to do so, so they put down their posts and took their attention away from the poetry meeting. Cen Xiyan continued to draw watercolor plum blossom pictures.
Cen Xiqin's hands were itchy when she looked around, so she also took paper and pen and learned watercolor paintings from Cen Xiyan.
Seeing that she was interested in learning, Cen Xiyan gave her some guidance on painting methods and techniques. However, Cen Xiqin really has no talent for painting, and she was so unbearable to look at her!
Despite this, Cen Xiyan did not give any perfunctory guidance to Cen Xiqin, and even became more detailed and strict!
In the end, Cen Xiqin couldn't stand it anymore, so she begged Cen Xiyan for mercy and asked for liberation! Please let go!
Cen Xiyan frowned and said in a stern tone: "How can you do this? You don't have enough talent and no perseverance! You are not upright enough! You are irresponsible to yourself!"
Cen Xiqin was beaten by Cen Xiyan, with her head hanging down, and said weakly: "Sister Six, I was wrong. I am really this material? I just want to learn to play casually. I didn't expect that my advice from Six Sister Six will also waste your time..."
When Cen Xiyan heard this, she realized that she subconsciously regarded Cen Xiqin as a disciple in Yuanyin Sect and asked her. She quickly calmed her expression and tone and said, "It's okay, everyone has their own things that they are good at and things that they are not good at. I'm too serious, don't take it to your heart."
Seeing Cen Xiyan calm down, Cen Xiqin suddenly became sunny again and was resurrected with blood. She smiled and said, "I didn't take it to my heart. I know that Sister Six is for my own good. However, Sister Six, you look so stern, you are really culprit..."
The longer he spent with Cen Xiyan, the more Cen Xiqin felt that this sixth sister was too mysterious, and the occasional aura was very powerful...
Cen Xiyan continued to draw, without raising his head, saying, "Then if you are more behaved in the future, I will not be cruel to you."
After lunch, Cen Xiyan taught Cen Xiqin the method of putting watercolor paintings into frames. Cen Xiqin also became busy and putting all the paintings Cen Xiyan painted in frames.
The two sisters divided the work and chatted occasionally, and the atmosphere was very good and harmonious.
Cen Xiyan occasionally looked at the busy Cen Xiqin, and her expression was in a daze. If she and Cen Xiqin had grown up since childhood, they should be very close sisters, right? Maybe, when they were young, Cen Xiqin would become her little tail, and happily followed her and called her sixth sister every day. She would love this lively, cute and sensible sister very much...
Now, the time is still short, and I don’t understand it deeply enough. Maybe one day in the future, she will really love her so much...
In the afternoon, someone came to Jinglan Pavilion again. A maid from Furong Garden came to send a message and left in a hurry.
That was enough news that everyone in the Cen family was shocked: Cen Lan, the third master of the Cen family who had been away from the residence for ten years, is back!
