Chapter 36: Ornaments
On the second day, before dawn, Ying Qi woke up.
Seeing the still dark sky outside, Ying Qi sighed, ancient people got up so early.
Xueyun and Lixia heard the movement and walked in one after another.
"Miss, can you get up?" asked Xueyun.
"Let's get up. Ying Qi lazily.
Lixia brought a brand new set of clothes.
"It's summer. Ying Qi was immediately speechless, and with a glance, Lixia was holding at least three or five pieces in his hand.
"Miss, I'll wait for you to change your clothes. Lixia and Xueyun exchanged a look, Xueyun said that he was not interested in wearing this kind of clothes, and Lixia took the initiative to step forward.
Ying Qi nodded.
"This is all given to the old lady by Concubine De this year, and the old lady specially kept it for you. Lixia said as she dressed her.
First, he changed a big red belly pocket and embroidered a fish doll that is more than enough every year. Then put on a cotton underwear, then put on a pothos light gauze middle coat, a pothos light gauze pants, and finally the outside is a big red gold silk flag suit, the flag is embroidered with spring flowers, the skirt is also embroidered with a circle of green grass, occasionally dotted with one or two red dragonflies in the middle, particularly cute.
Although the yarn is mostly of texture, but if you wear it too much, it will be hot. Ying Qi sighed. Why do people in this era have to wear such strange clothes? There is no air conditioning and no fan, and although the temperature is not as high as in the previous life, it is still summer. This one is hot.
At this time, I suddenly saw Lixia take a pair of flower pot shoes and come over. "Do I still want to wear this?" Ying Qi's eyes really widened this time. Ying Qi had heard of high heels in this era, but after coming here, she always wore flat-heeled cloth shoes. Only the nobles would wear the bottom of the flower pot, after all, the common people still have to work hard, where can they wear such high shoes, so they are mainly cloth shoes.
The shoe is slender at the top and wide at the bottom, the toe is square, and the heel is rounded, and the shape does look like a small flower pot. The upper of the shoes that Lixia took is embroidered with a pair of small swallows, and the wings of the swallows are strung with small beads, which are very crystal clear and cute. The middle of the sole is a high heel, and it is estimated that this is about four or five centimeters, which should be the lowest heel sole.
"I won't wear this, will I wrestle?"
"It's all right, miss, I'll hold you up. The ancestor commanded, you will dress like this from today onwards. Lixia firmly rejected Yingqi's disagreement.
"Oh well. Ying Qi reluctantly agreed. Rixia first put on a pair of stockings for her, and then put on flower pot shoes.
"Miss, try to walk. Lixia helped her, and Yingqi staggered to her feet. Try your feet, it's ok.
Took two steps forward, it feels okay, the heel bottom below is still relatively thick, holding Lixia, it still won't fall, after all, there is experience in wearing high heels.
"Miss is amazing, she will leave so soon. Lixia complimented. Xue Yun shook her head speechlessly when she saw her flower pot shoes, for someone like her who was swinging her fists and palms, it was not suitable to wear such strange shoes.
Lixia helped Yingqi to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, and a little maid Lu'er brought hot water to wash, and another little maid Orange came up and began to comb her bun.
Combed a maid's bun, and then Lixia brought a small copper basin, in which there were bright gold and silver ornaments. "This is all ordered by the old lady to be picked for Miss from her inner library, see if you like it?"
Ying Qi shrugged, using other people's things, what do you like or dislike.
"Miss, look, what hairpin do you like to wear?" asked Rixia what she meant.
Ying Qi looked at it, "That's it." "I picked a pair of red coral bat hairpins, which just matched my clothes.
The orange hairpin was finished for her, and a few small flower clips were added separately to decorate.
"Miss, you haven't pierced your ears yet, this is not good, I will report to the old lady later, and it is estimated that I will arrange it for you as soon as possible." Do you think it?" Lixia was about to look for earrings, only to find that Yingqi had not pierced her ears yet.
"Do you have to get pierced ears? Ying Qi frowned, who knows if there are safety facilities in this era, it's not good to be infected.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. And it will be fine soon. Lixia comforted her.
"Okay. Ying Qi shrugged.
"Alright, miss, let's go. Then they packed up and went out.
The sky was still not shining yet, but the lights were already shining everywhere in the house. The little girl Zi'er was carrying a lantern in front, Yingqi walked in the middle, Lixia supported her, Yingqi walked for a while, and felt that the shoes were okay, because the high heels were relatively thick, so they would not stagger, and soon someone would support them. Snow clouds followed. After all, it was close, so it soon came to the old lady's main room.
When they arrived at the main room, the four little maids stood at the door, and Yingchun was standing in the courtyard, talking to her third aunt Cao. Ying Qi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
After a while, others came over one after another. Everyone has seen the ceremony one after another, and at this time, Yingchun came out, "The third lady, the eldest lady, the second miss, the third miss, the cousin, the eldest grandmother, the third grandmother, please inside." ”
Cao nodded slightly, and led the girls in.
"Say hello to the old ancestor!" everyone said in unison.
"Excuse me. Sit down," the old lady had freshened up, and sat down on the upper seat.
"Girl Qi, come here. Before Ying Qi could sit down, she was called up by the old lady.
"Did you sleep well last night?" asked the old lady affectionately.
"Very good, Ancestor. Ying Qi replied.
"That's good, I'm still worried about you recognizing the bed. Like your cousins, they have the habit of recognizing the bed, but your aunt and your mother don't. Looks like you're like your mother. The old lady said with a smile.
"Uh-huh. Ying Qi nodded.
"By the way, your little sisters have all gone to school, but because you just came, I first asked them to match you with a nurturing grandmother, and in a few days, I will go to school with my sisters, do you think it's okay?"
Ying Qi shrugged, is this her own veto, it has already been decided.
"Listen to your ancestors. ”
"What a good boy. The old lady said happily. "Hey, why did you only wear hairpins and no earrings? Didn't you let Geflot prepare them?" the old lady looked at her.
"Well, Ancestor, I haven't pierced my ears yet. Ying Qi is a little sneering.
"Didn't pierce your ears? But I was wronged. The old lady thought for a moment and said, "In this way, after breakfast, let Ge Fuhe arrange for you, don't be afraid, it won't hurt." In addition, Yingchun, go and bring my pair of Dongzhu wrapped silk red gold earrings, and wear them after piercing the ears of the Qi girl. ”
"Yes. Yingchun immediately went down.
"Doesn't it really hurt?" Ying Qi looked a little apprehensive. His eyes swept down, and when he saw several cousins hearing Dongzhu's red gold earrings, they all flashed envious looks.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, don't worry, if it hurts, let your sister-in-law send you another pair. The old ancestor smiled.
"Ancestor, why are you so partial. Although I can guarantee that my sister's ear piercing technique is very good, and she can dress well without pain, I can't arrange my things. Geffo smiled.
"Your sister Qi just came, and you should have bleeding. The old lady laughed.
"Okay, okay, I promise, it certainly doesn't hurt. Don't let the old ancestor underestimate me. The crowd burst into laughter. The atmosphere was warm and hot.
Everyone chatted for a while, and then the Cao family ordered someone to pass breakfast.
After breakfast, everyone dispersed. Ge Fohe took Ying Qi back to his yard.
