京城侯府,在日光的轻抚下,琉璃瓦闪耀着夺目金光,飞檐斗拱似欲展翅翱翔。今日,侯府张灯结彩,灯笼高悬,红绸飘舞,处处洋溢着喜庆氛围。侯府家主萧崇山为庆贺母亲寿辰,遍邀京城权贵,府邸内宾客如织,衣香鬓影,欢声笑语交织回荡。
侯府嫡女萧瑶,宛如一朵盛开在春日的兰花,清新脱俗。她身着一袭月白色锦缎长裙,裙摆处精心绣制的兰花仿若在微风中轻轻摇曳,散发着淡雅芬芳。腰间那淡粉色丝绦,恰似天边的一抹云霞,衬托得她身姿愈发轻盈。丝绦上挂着的温润玉佩,随着她的走动,发出清脆悦耳的声响。她一头乌发如墨,精心挽成的发髻上点缀着几枚珍珠发饰,在日光下闪烁着柔和光芒。几缕发丝俏皮地垂落在白皙如羊脂玉般的脸颊旁,为她增添了几分楚楚动人的韵味。此刻,她正笑意盈盈地穿梭于宾客之间,举止优雅,谈吐不凡,一颦一笑皆展现出大家闺秀的风范,引得众人纷纷侧目。
然而,在这繁华热闹的表象之下,却暗流涌动。萧瑶的庶妹萧婉,身着一身艳丽的桃红色衣衫,恰似那燃烧的火焰,却在这侯府的庭院中显得有些格格不入。她脸上虽挂着笑容,可那笑容却如同冬日的寒霜,冰冷而又虚假。她的眼神中,时不时闪过一丝嫉妒与不甘,犹如夜空中划过的流星,短暂却又刺眼。她紧紧盯着萧瑶,看着众人围绕在萧瑶身边,赞美之声不绝于耳,心中的恨意如同野草般疯狂生长。
萧婉心中暗自思忖,萧瑶不过是仗着嫡女的身份罢了,平日里在侯府便事事压自己一头。今日,定要让她在这众多宾客面前出丑,好好杀杀她的威风。这般想着,萧婉眼中闪过一丝阴狠,如同暗夜中的饿狼。她佯装若无其事地朝着摆放书画作品的长廊走去,脚步轻盈却又带着几分急切。
此次家族宴会,侯府年轻一辈的小姐们都精心准备了书画作品,期望能在众人面前一展才华。萧瑶自幼聪慧过人,琴棋书画无一不精,她的书画作品更是备受期待,犹如夜空中最璀璨的星辰,吸引着众人的目光。萧婉来到萧瑶的作品前,先是警惕地左右环顾,确认无人注意后,迅速从宽大的袖口中拿出事先准备好的墨汁。她的手微微颤抖,眼中闪烁着决绝的光芒,轻轻将墨汁洒在了画上。刹那间,原本精美的画作被墨汁肆意浸染,色彩斑斓的画面瞬间变得一片漆黑,如同被黑暗吞噬的光明。
萧婉看着被毁的画作,满意地勾了勾嘴角,那笑容中带着一丝得意与畅快。她将墨汁瓶重新藏回袖中,装作若无其事地转身,混入人群之中,继续与旁人谈笑风生,只是那眼神中偶尔闪过的窃喜,暴露了她内心的真实想法。
不多时,宾客们开始移步欣赏书画作品。一位身着官服的年长官员,迈着沉稳的步伐走到萧瑶的画作前。他原本脸上带着期待与欣赏的笑容,可当目光触及那被墨汁毁坏的画作时,笑容瞬间凝固,仿佛时间都为之停滞。他眉头紧锁,眼中满是疑惑与不满,开口说道:“这画怎么成了这般模样?侯府的小姐们,向来以才情出众闻名,怎会出现如此粗心大意之事?”
此言一出,如同一颗石子投入平静的湖面,瞬间激起千层浪。众人纷纷围拢过来,一时间,议论声此起彼伏。“这侯府嫡女,平日里不是才名远扬吗?怎么画作如此不堪?”
“说不定是盛名之下,其实难副。”
各种质疑声传入萧瑶耳中,她心中一紧,脚步不自觉地加快,来到画作前。看到画作被毁,她心中已然明了,定是有人蓄意为之。她不动声色地扫视周围众人,目光如电,试图从众人的表情中找出破绽。就在这时,她捕捉到萧婉眼中闪过的那一丝不易察觉的得意,心中冷笑一声。
萧瑶深吸一口气,面上依旧保持着镇定自若的神情,轻声说道:“各位莫要着急,这画并非我原本的作品。我今日带来的这幅画,暗藏玄机。”
说罢,她转头看向身旁的丫鬟,眼神中带着一丝坚定与自信。丫鬟心领神会,迅速转身,片刻后取来一盆清水。萧瑶伸出如玉般的手,轻轻接过水盆,动作优雅而从容。她微微倾身,将清水缓缓泼在画作上。
众人屏住呼吸,目不转睛地盯着画作。只见被墨汁浸染的画面渐渐发生变化,原本被掩盖的山水景色如同破土而出的春笋,一点点重新显现出来。而且,经过清水的洗礼,画面色彩更加鲜艳夺目,笔法更加灵动飘逸,仿佛那山水间的一草一木都拥有了生命。众人见状,不禁发出阵阵惊叹,那声音如同汹涌的潮水,一波接着一波。
那位年长官员眼中满是震惊与赞叹,他忍不住开口说道:“侯府嫡女,果然名不虚传。这画作竟还有如此奇妙的设计,老夫今日真是大开眼界,自愧不如啊!”
萧婉站在人群中,看着眼前发生的一切,脸色瞬间变得煞白,如同冬日里的残雪。她瞪大了眼睛,满脸的不可置信,心中懊悔不已。她怎么也没想到,萧瑶竟还有这样的后手。萧瑶缓缓转身,目光如利剑般射向萧婉,眼中闪过一丝冷意,轻声说道:“妹妹,这书画之道,讲究的是用心。莫要因为一时的嫉妒,坏了自己的名声,更辱没了侯府的门楣。”
萧婉咬了咬嘴唇,低下头,不敢直视萧瑶的目光,心中满是羞愧与不甘。
经过此事,侯府众人对萧瑶的心思缜密和聪慧过人又多了几分敬畏。而萧瑶,也在这场家族宴会上,凭借着自己的智慧与沉着,成功地化解了危机,为自己在家族中的地位又增添了一份坚实的筹码。她深知,在这侯门深宅之中,未来的路还布满荆棘,充满了无数的挑战,但她无所畏惧,心中怀揣着坚定的信念,将凭借自己的智慧与勇气,一步步走向属于自己的巅峰
