In the memory of the five-year-old girl Liu Xue, this year's New Year is the most lively year in Liufu, the father is in a good mood, he has long ordered the housekeeper to take people to buy abundant New Year's goods, each courtyard and each house has a reward, the children's New Year's money has tripled, and the reward for the next person has also doubled, the men and women have cut a new dress up and down and put it on, the red lanterns under the eaves of the corridor are swaying high in the wind, the newly cut windows on the windows are red and gorgeous, and the couplets at the door of each house are even more dazzling, Xiao Liuxue wears a red cotton jacket, red cotton pants, and wears an embroidered red butterfly hat on her little head, run to sprinkle a string of laughter wherever you go.
Because in her impression, the previous years were cold and miserable, usually my father's mood was okay, and when it came to the end of the year, he always seemed to be extremely sad and melancholy, as if the New Year was a painful thing, and the grief of his stomach was aroused, he drank alone, was very drunk and fell asleep, crying in his sleep, crying and repenting, saying that he was not filial piety and had three no queens, and he was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, and he could not glorify the lintel and the ancestors, and it hurt the incense of the Liu family to be broken. Stir up the family, and no one can live in peace.
This year, they made an exception and ushered in a happy and peaceful year.
On the evening of the first day of the new year, my father sent a message to call everyone to the front hall to gather, the old year has passed, the new year has taken steps to come to a new place, the customs of the people in Lingzhou Mansion, no matter how busy the whole family is, they must get together on the night of the first day of the new year, talk, eat, and have fun. By the way, let's arrange your plans and plans for the new year.
The family banquet has long been set up, four large tables, in the middle of the hall, is the table of the masters, and on the right near the warm pavilion, there is a slightly smaller seat, which is specially arranged for the middle and upper class maids and servants with heads and faces, and then slightly staggered two steps, that seat is arranged for the rough mother-in-law and inferior maids, by the door of a large table, sitting all the male servants in the house.
The hour had come, and the housekeeper lady ordered to go down, and the flowing mat began to pass back and forth from the kitchen, and for a while everyone was silent, and it was carried out in an orderly manner.
Lancao helped the dumb girl into the threshold of the hall and found that almost everyone had come.
They silently weaved through the crowd and slowly walked inside.
Lancao doesn't know where the master's location is, it stands to reason that it should belong to the table in the middle of the main hall, and that table is the master of Liufu.
A large dark red square wooden table with cups, bowls and chopsticks neatly arranged on it.
The dumb aunt looked at it generously, the position of the head was vacant, it was naturally the seat of the lord Liu Dingmao and the eldest lady of the main house, sitting next to Liu Xue and Liu Wan, and there were several women on the left and right, the dumb aunt had only seen the fourth aunt and the eighth aunt, the fourth aunt looked down too much and didn't look at her, the eighth aunt smiled at the dumb aunt from afar, and the dumb aunt also looked at her and bowed slightly.
Next are a few young ladies.
There is an empty seat on the left.
The dumb aunt gently went over and sat down, just in front of Liu Wancheng.
A lot of eyes suddenly fell on the dumb girl.
Some people are whispering that it is this little mute who was the one who saved Aunt Jiu's mother and son; some people say that she doesn't know how to use to move the eldest lady to dig up an old plum tree in the yard and move the corner courtyard; some people say that she seems to be treating Aunt Jiu for some kind of postpartum stroke recently, and it seems that the curative effect is not very good......
Liu Xue looked at the dumb aunt with a bony look, she suddenly grinned and grinned, "Hey, they all say that you are dumb, dumb and stupid, how can I see that you are not stupid? You are so good-looking today, really good-looking and good-looking, better than my sister Ying's sister and sister Mei!"
As he spoke, he went up and took her hand.
The dumb girl looked at this round little chubby face, her heart was soft, and she couldn't help but reach out and pull her fleshy little hand.
The childish children's words, without any covering, fell crisply in the ears, just like crystal beads splashing down the jade plate.
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the dumb girl.
As soon as she came in, everyone was still embarrassed to stare at it naked, Liu Xue said, reminded everyone, so they all had no scruples, after all, rumors have been going back and forth in the dark corner of the yard for many days, and it is inevitable that people will add fuel and vinegar in the process of spreading, so that she is no longer just a dumb child daughter-in-law of a fool, but a character shrouded in a mysterious aura. For the rumors, everyone is still curious, everyone wants to see with their own eyes, what does this little child daughter-in-law who suddenly made a strange story look like, I haven't paid good attention to her before, and now I finally seized the opportunity, don't look at it in vain.
There were two stoves burned in the hall, and a few hot pots were put aside, and the women in each room brought their hand stoves, plus there were many people, and for a time this usually spacious living room was bustling with people, and the air was warm.
The little mute gently untied the fur on the outside, revealing an emerald green silk shirt, and Liu Shen on the opposite side had sharp eyes, and he didn't hide his surprise: "Ah, why did she wear the color of the clothes that she only wore with a ring?"
Let's take a closer look, sure enough, isn't this the emerald green that can only be worn by Liufu's close-fitting big girl's ring, usually the masters disdain to dress like Yahuan, but she's just she, a little mute, or a child daughter-in-law, born in poverty, so she doesn't care.
However, everyone soon found that they seemed to be wrong at first sight, although they were all emerald green colors, her clothes were not ordinary cheap materials, but with the swing of her body, the ripples on the fabric were dark, and it was a fine nine purple silk.
What's even more surprising is that her clothes are not the style that everyone has long been accustomed to, usually everyone dresses the upper and lower skirts, the top is gorgeous and the bottom must be plain, so that a plain and a beautiful can match the effect, and the skirt is fat and generous, needless to say, even the short shirt and undershirt on the upper body are cut as wide and large as possible, and the whole body can be basically covered in the clothing when worn on the body, and the convex and concave of the female figure is even more covered by the ten**.
The little mute in front of her, her dress today is obviously a little peculiar, not the upper and lower skirts, the big skirt is exposed, it is a long shirt that is connected from top to bottom, but it is not as wide as the men's long shirt, it is cut very narrow, almost tightly sewn against the curve of the body, a circle of Rowan flower collar, embroidered with a faint little red flower, like a small star inadvertently sprinkled, there are two small protruding buds on the chest, but when they reach the waist, they are suddenly retracted, tightly tied to the body, highlighting a small waist that Yingying holds, but when it goes down to the buttocks, it suddenly widens, as if it is deliberately to highlight a round little buttocks, around the thighsThe bottom is narrow again, delicately retracted, and dragged all the way to the feet.
The dumb aunt is thin and thin, and the body has basically not begun to develop, but this convex and concave curve also makes everyone's eyes widen, they have always paid attention to subtle beauty, and they have always dressed with wide robes and large sleeves, in order to cover the beauty of women's physical characteristics, where have you seen such an exaggerated and exposed way of dressing?
The dumb aunt seemed to know that everyone was looking at herself, she didn't squirm, she wasn't timid, she wasn't shy, she stood generously, looked left and right, and turned her body slightly, accepting everyone's attention.
The women of Liufu were collectively silent, shocked by a bold and enthusiastic beauty, and some people exclaimed in their hearts, where did this style come from, could it be that it has become popular on the street recently?
"Hmph-" snorted heavily.
Someone broke this silence with a nose.
The dumb aunt quietly followed the prestige, it was a twelve or thirteen girl on her left, she looked good, but she had a proud face, as if only such an expression could make everyone recognize her as the most noble lady in the house.
Lancao said, Liu Mei is honest, Liu Shen is cunning, Liu Xue is still young, Liu Ying is arrogant, then, this arrogant face must be Liu Ying, it is she, who once pressed the little mute of the child daughter-in-law on the Taihu Lake stone and kowtowed heavily?
Is that her?
Hmph, I didn't expect her to jump out impatiently to find fault.
The dumb girl nodded lightly at everyone, as if a parade general was nodding at his soldiers.
Someone's nose was almost crooked.
"Hey, I've heard that since she was hit on the head by you, she has woken up in a coma and her whole person has changed, and she has become less active and doesn't like to run around, but she is much more courageous than in the past, and she can still see a doctor, and even her mother looks at her differently, and she is satisfied with food, clothing, and flowers as much as possible, hmph, her current treatment is several times better than that of us serious ladies. ”
Liu Shen muttered in Liu Ying's ear.
Although it is muttering, but the voice is not disguised at all, in front of a mute, can it be disguised?
After reading the clothes, everyone's eyes were once again focused on the hair of the dumb girl.
At this time, the dumb aunt herself was looking at the buns of the young ladies in turn.
Except for the youngest Liu Xue, the rest of the sisters actually combed a peculiar hairstyle, a bundle of hair from the front of the forehead to the bottom of the knot, and finally gathered into a bunch at the back of the head, gently tied into a bundle, without wearing any hairpin ring jewelry, plain and elegant, true color.
At the same time, Lan Cao's eyes looked around, and she found that in addition to these young ladies, the big girls in each room also combed this kind of bun one by one.
Lancao smiled quietly, it turned out that the little grandmother's hairstyle had spread in the house, and everyone followed suit, and broke the boundary between the master and the maid, and now everyone is the same.
The surprise of the dumb aunt and the orchid grass is far less than those who see the dumb aunt's headdress, the surprise in her heart at this moment comes violently, just now she only cares about marveling at her clothes, ignoring the hairstyle, this little dumb, she actually changed her hairstyle again, a handful of extraordinarily thick black hair, originally smooth and slippery, but now somehow got it, it actually left a large handful of oblique in front of the forehead, softly curled up into a big wavy shape, but the back was raised high, tied a simple hair bundle, looking proud like the tail of a horse raised high。
It's still simple, smooth and natural, but it adds an extra sense of ease.
