Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress
Chapter 427 Last update (5)
After Caiwei and the three sisters of the Du family got off the bus, they saw many carriages from various mansions parked in front of the palace gate, all with canopies and crowns, showing their wealth.This is the time when the noble ladies from various houses are entering the palace, and there are quite a lot of people coming in front of the palace gate.
But it was quiet all around. No one dared to make a loud noise in front of the majestic palace gate. They greeted each other politely. Even when they met familiar people, they only nodded slightly. No one would chat and laugh here.
The girls all followed the nuns sent by the palace in an orderly manner, taking small steps towards the imperial garden.
This Shangsi Festival banquet was held in the Linshui Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. On the winding corridor, there were many tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner. With the Linshui Pavilion as the boundary, on the left was the seat of the female family members. On the right is the male guest seat.
This arrangement can not only meet the rule that men and women sit in separate seats, but also allow both men and women to see each other's appearance.
The Shangsi Festival was originally a festival for washing dirt by the water and worshiping ancestors. Now it has evolved into a festival for banquets by the water and spring outings in the countryside. The Shangsi Festival hosted by the Queen of Jin Dynasty every year is actually a disguised festival. The blind date festival is a day for blind dates between the sons of powerful men who have reached the marriageable age and have not yet been engaged, and the noble ladies.
Therefore, every year during the Shangsi Festival, young ladies from various families in the court would dress up and come happily in the hope that they could meet a person they like.
Especially the young masters and brothers came to Linshui Pavilion early. Whenever a female family member came, they would immediately draw their heads to watch.
If they meet a woman they like, they will send someone to investigate the woman's origin, name, age, etc., then write it down, and then discuss it with the elders when they go home. If the elders are also optimistic about the marriage, then the man will Immediately send someone to the woman's house to propose marriage.
For girls who have participated in the Shangsi Festival, if they have not seen a matchmaker at home after four or five days, it means that her performance at the Shangsi Festival was not good enough and no one took a fancy to her. This is a big deal for the girl's family. Very shameful thing.
Therefore, after the Shangsi Festival, which family has more matchmakers, it proves that the daughter of that family is better and more popular! The more they feel proud!
Caiwei and Du Wanqiu were led by an old woman and sat at a table on the left side of Linshui Pavilion. There were already three or four young ladies sitting at that table. They were talking and laughing in low voices, looking at their beautiful faces. He looked at the boat parked on the lake. There was a large platform set up on the boat, which would be used for the ladies to perform their talents later.
Caiwei sat down at the designated position and looked around. When she raised her head, almost everyone who saw her held their breath subconsciously, such as "Sinking fish falls, falling wild goose, closing moon and shy flowers" Words used to describe beautiful women couldn't be more appropriate when applied to her.
As the poem says, "There is only the most beautiful peach, and the most fragrant thing is the peony." She is just like a peony in bud, blooming at the end of the year, but she has already revealed her stunning beauty. She didn't even need to do anything. As long as she stood there quietly, she made everyone feel at ease.
She already has such beauty now. When the flower blooming season comes, how young will she be?
Wherever she is, all women become mere foils.
Her appearance caused a small commotion on the right. After seeing Caiwei's peerless appearance, the young men from aristocratic families rushed to send their servants to talk about Caiwei's information.
"Which family is she from?"
"How old are you?"
"What kind of in-laws are you looking for?"
Huo Yuan was sitting in the table on the right. He saw the sensation caused by Caiwei and chuckled. He thought with a little vanity, if these people later knew that this girl would belong to him, would they treat him badly? Do you feel envious or jealous?
