Chapter 37: Ear piercing
"Sister Qi, come, sit down with me. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] After a while, someone will come and pierce your ears. "I entered a small main room, which was carved with beams and jade buildings, and the layout was elegant and generous, which was a long case, with two wooden chairs on each side and a small table.
After the two sat down, two little maids came forward to fan one left and one right. At this time, you don't have to get up, because the sky is not bright, and the temperature is still relatively low. By this time the sun had risen and the room was already a little stuffy.
The other two maids brought four small basins of ice cubes and placed them in the four corners of the room. Suddenly the whole room was cool.
After a while, another little maid came in with a big bronze mirror, and there were some other small things scattered around. "Put a few on it, and then go and urge the second aunt, why has it been so long, and it's not ready?" Ge Forhe commanded.
Then he turned to Ying Qi and said, "Your brother's second aunt doesn't know anything else, but she is an expert at threading the needle." ”
When Ying Qi heard this, she was a little speechless, there is a difference between threading needles and piercing ears.
"Hehe, don't worry, she is more skillful, so she pierces her sisters' ears at home, and her craftsmanship is excellent. Geflothe also seemed to realize that what he had said earlier was inappropriate, and hurriedly said another sentence. Ying Qi laughed along.
"Sister!" A moment later, a woman who looked like a young woman entered. Spring red teeth and white teeth, smiling, wearing a pink dress, looking very gentle.
"This is Miss Table. Sister Qi, this is Zhen Niang. Geffo introduced each other.
"I've seen Miss Cousin. "Jane Niang is very gentle.
"Sister Zhenniang, I'm going to trouble you a lot. Ying Qi was also busy returning the gift.
"You're all set, right? Let's get started. But don't hurt my sister, or I'll be miserable. Gefverh laughed.
"Sister, don't worry, you still don't believe in my craftsmanship, but you can't save earrings. "It seems that everyone will soon know the joke of the morning.
"This is natural, it should have been sent to my sister. You see, I'm ready. Ge Fohe motioned for Jane to step forward to the bronze mirror.
Zhen Niang took out her own things, and then opened the small box in front of the bronze mirror, which contained a pair of red gold earrings and a pair of sterling silver earrings.
"Well, let's use silver first. The portions are lighter, but they are cheaper. Jane nodded.
Then he motioned for Ying Qi to sit in front of the bronze mirror.
He lit a small red candle on the bronze mirror, and then motioned for the maid to take out a bunch of things from the basket.
A small flask was opened and a small glass of wine was poured. There was some fine gauze next to it. Finally, a long, thick needle was taken and placed on a small piece of gauze.
When Ying Qi saw the needle, she shuddered unconsciously.
"Sister Qi, don't be afraid. It doesn't hurt. Geflothe also seemed to see that she was a little afraid, and hastened to comfort her.
"Miss Table, please sit here. Zhen Niang motioned for Ying Qi to sit in front of the bronze mirror.
Ying Qi sat sideways, and Ge Fohe accompanied her to talk.
Zhen Niang was facing the bronze mirror, soaked a small piece of gauze in wine, touched Yingqi's earlobe, and rubbed it again. Then he took that needle and roasted it over the fire.
Then the gauze is removed, twisted on the side of the earlobe, and the silver needle is pierced. Ying Qi only felt like she had been pricked by a bee, and she didn't feel much pain.
Zhen Niang took a small piece of gauze again, tapped it on her pierced earlobe, removed the bloodstains, and at the same time should have a feeling of anti-inflammatory, and then put the silver earrings on her pierced ears.
"How's it going, sister, it doesn't hurt, does it?" said Gefford, with a light smile.
"Well, it's like being pricked by a bee, and it doesn't feel too much. Ying Qi nodded, and she was even more relieved.
All three of them turned around and changed directions, and Jane began to pierce another ear.
"Alright. Miss Table, don't get wet these days, don't change your earrings, if there is redness and swelling, just wipe a little white wine with a clean gauze. After five days, you can change to red gold earrings, and after ten days, you can wear other earrings and earrings according to your heart. Jane explained.
"Okay. Thank you, Sister Jane. Ying Qi nodded.
"Sister Qi, come here. Ge Fohe beckoned Ying Qi to go back to the table and sit down. Then clapping her hands, a maid in a green dress brought a glass plate with a pair of South Sea pearl earrings on it.
"My sister is not as valuable as my ancestors, but this pair of earrings was also specially sent by my family from the coast of Guangdong. Do you see you like it?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law, but such a valuable gift, my sister would never dare to take it. Ying Qi hurriedly excused herself.
"It's just a gadget, sister, don't care. It's nice to like it. Gevero said with a smile. Beckoned for Snow Cloud to take it.
"Then, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Ying Qi smiled.
Xue Yun stepped forward to take the earrings.
The two talked and laughed for a while, and then Ying Qi returned to the Peach Blossom Cabinet from the Geffo Courtyard.
Lixia greeted her, brought water to Yingqi to wash, and at the same time helped her take off her flag clothes, middle clothes, and underwear, and put on a set of light satin home clothes. Suddenly, Ying Qi felt much cooler and more comfortable.
"Miss, these are earrings from the ladies and ladies. Rixia turned around and went out again and came up with a box.
"This is a gift, too. Ying Qi was a little speechless. I am penniless, I have received so many gifts, how can I pay it back in the future.
Xueyun came up and whispered, "Miss, it's okay, you will be very rich in the future." Ying Qi couldn't help laughing, "You still have confidence in me." ”
Xueyun secretly thought, you are already the prince of Fujin, and you are still worried about the lack of money. But I don't dare to show anything.
Ying Qi smiled, turned to Lixia and said, "Then I'll take a look when I come close." ”
Lixia put it on several cases. Ying Qi looked at it, a total of seven pairs of earrings.
A pair of red gold jade earrings were sent by the eldest aunt, a pair of red gold bead earrings were sent by the second aunt, and a pair of burnt blue and gold agate earrings were sent by the third aunt.
And the three young ladies and the three young grandmothers sent the same specification of South China Sea pearl earrings.
"Well, with the sister-in-law of Gefford, let's put it down together. Ying Qi nodded.
"Yes. By the way, Miss, Sister Yingchun, Ming'er is going to come over to raise grandma, do you think it's convenient?" Lixia replied.
"Hmm. According to the arrangement of the ancestors. You and Xueyun just arrange the time for me. Ying Qi nodded.
In the afternoon of the second day, Ying Qi took a break for only a quarter of an hour, and Lixia hurried in.
Seeing Xue Yun sitting on the side and sorting out the cage, he stepped forward and said a few words to Xue Yun, Xue Yun nodded, and stepped forward to wake Ying Qi up.
"Miss, Parenting Grandma Zhong is here and waiting in the front yard. Xueyun said as he approached.
"Oh, let her wait in the outer hall for a moment, and I'll be up at once. Ying Qi said in a daze.
"Okay. Xueyun immediately went out, and Chang Lixia came over to help her wash and dress.
Soon, Ying Qi put on her loungewear and walked out. A middle-aged grandmother in the outer hall stood there, wearing a beige blue silk butterfly flower skirt, with only a blue silk flower on her head, looking elegant and generous.
It doesn't seem to be the kind of abusive grandma on TV, Ying Qi has some secret thoughts, but this kind of appearance can't be determined.
"Mama Zhong, please take a seat. Ying Qi spoke first.
"Thank you, Miss Watch, don't you dare to be. Mama Zhong said.
"Since my ancestor can let Mama teach me, I think Mama is quite experienced in teaching. I've never learned these manners, and I wish my grandmother could teach me more. Ying Qi said.
"Where do you dare to be a lady compliment. It's all what an old slave should do. The old slave only knows how to make a little fur, but the old slave will work hard, and he will not disappoint the old lady and Miss Biao. "Mama Zhong is still very humble when she speaks.
"Then when does Mama Zhong start?" asked Ying Qi directly.
"Miss Biao, you see that it is good to have one hour in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon and two hours in the afternoon, so that you will not be delayed in going to the old lady's place in the morning and dusk. "It seems that I have already thought about the time before.
"Okay. Ying Qi nodded.
"The old slave arrived on time at the beginning of the day. Mama Zhong said and took her leave.
Ying Qi nodded, and motioned to Xueyun to reward Mama Zhong with a silver nude, Mama Zhong pushed her humbly, but still took it.
