Chapter 52: Add makeup
The sky was as blue as a wash, and the bright sunlight painted the trees with rings of golden and silver halos. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mother Du looked at Lan Xin, who came over with the support of purple clothes, and came over to greet her: "I've seen the girl, the old lady has been talking about the girl!"
Lan Xin looked at the white mist exhaled as Mother Du spoke, stepped forward to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "It's freezing this day, how can Mother Lao come out in person? β
Hearing Lan Xin say this, the smile on Du's mother's face became more sincere, and she replied with a smile: "Thank you for the girl's understanding, seeing the girl, the old slave was happy in his heart, and he didn't feel cold." Seeing that the people were carrying a screen, Mother Du hurriedly ordered: "Yo, you have to be careful." But do you want to send it to the old lady's yard first?" The latter sentence naturally asked Lan Xin.
Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, knowing that Mother Du had something to say, so she smiled and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, I just want to ask the old lady to give me a palm!"
After Du's mother finished speaking, she kept staring at Lan Xin, seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, she suppressed the complexity in her heart, and said with a smile: "The old lady naturally knows the girl's craftsmanship, and the old lady often praises the girl's ingenuity!"
The two of them walked towards the old lady's courtyard one by one. Lan Xin felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand the Fang family. Since she came to add makeup to Fang Jing, the things should naturally be sent to Fang Jing's yard. But looking at Du's mother's appearance, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see Fang Jing's face today.
Sure enough, when he was about to arrive at the door, Lan Xin heard an impatient voice: "Why haven't you come here yet? It won't be going directly to Sister Qin'er's courtyard, right? Sister Qin is not someone who can see it if she wants toγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Lan Xin knew that this was the undisguised contemptuous voice of the second lady of the Fang family, Yu. It's like her daughter was seen by Lan Xin, just like a pearl covered in dust.
Mother Du was worried that there would be something inappropriate, so she hurriedly glanced at the little maid guarding the door, and the little maid went in to report.
Fang's warm pavilion is not big, but it is very elegant. On the wall facing the door, there is a picture of the pine crane extending its life, and there is a bed of sour branches under the picture. On the half-moon table against the wall on the left side of the Luohan bed, there is a blue and white porcelain plate vase of "more than every year", and on the half-moon table on the right is a camellia Ru kiln porcelain plate, and there are two rows of sour branch circle chairs on the left and right in front. The decoration in the warm pavilion is just like the principle of the Fang family, and it contains rich connotations in the low-key.
Old Madam Fang sat cross-legged on the right side of the bed, she was wearing a brown-green crane-patterned silk jacket, and her gray-white hair was fixed behind her head with two jasper hairpins, which were glowing with a warm luster, and she was not ordinary at first glance. The forehead was wiped with dark green ruyi lines, and the forehead was sent by Lan Xin a few days ago. The old lady's eyes are soft and her face is kind, which makes it easy for people to feel close.
Lan Xin walked over and bowed to the old lady with a smile: "Lan Xin has seen the old lady, the old lady is fine." I have seen the second lady. β
The second lady Yu sat on the circle chair on the left side of the Luohan bed a little far away from the old lady, wearing a dark red long jacket, combing a bun to the sky, wearing a red gold step on her head, and the corners of her eyes were raised, giving people a feeling of being high and unattainable. He sipped his tea with his head down. was swept away from the corner of the old lady's eyes, and then put down the tea bowl, raised his head and gave Lan Xin an eye-catching smile, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Good, good, good!" Old Madam Fang looked at Lan Xin with a smile and said kindly, "It's really been a few days since I came!"
"Mrs. Lao is worried about the current New Year, thinking that the old lady will have a lot of things to do, so naturally she doesn't dare to come over to disturb the old lady. Lan Xin said with a smile.
"Hey, look at this mouth, it's really coaxing. Old Madam Fang said with a smile to the lady sitting on the circle chair on the right.
I saw that the lady was wearing a long jacket with a lake blue silk stand-up collar, a lake blue silk cotton skirt, combing a bun with clouds, and wearing a jade gourd on her head. The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, dignified and gentle. His eyes looked at Lan Xin softly, he smiled before he spoke, and there was a pair of dimples on his face, which gave people a very soft and friendly feeling. She turned her head to the old lady and praised: "Miss Zhou is really a beautiful and dignified person, no wonder my mother likes her so much." "The voice is soft and the pace of speech is moderate.
Looking at this lady's dress and temperament, Lan Xin guessed that she was Fang Mingyuan, the eldest son of the Fang family, and the wife of the current servant of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Shi. It is said that the Lu family is also a lady in the capital. When he was not out of the cabinet, in the circle of ladies in the capital, his reputation was not obvious, and the Lu family's family was not high, just an ordinary scholarly family. After the news of the marriage between the Fang and Lu families came out, all the people in the capital fell through their glasses.
Some people say that the Lu family is a good fate, and they actually marry the Fang family; some people say that the Lu family's scheming is really deep, and they can rush up at the critical moment when they see that they are usually inconspicuous, and they actually become in-laws with the Fang family. And those ladies who are bound to win Mingyuan are full of energy, waiting for the Lu family to make a fool of themselves and wait for her to end miserably.
It's just that over the years, Lu's life has been smooth. She has two sons and a daughter, and the house is well organized. What's even more enviable is that the backyard of the Fang family is clean, and there is no jealousy of concubines.
Lan Xin felt that the Lu family was very suitable for the Fang family's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law. Dignified and gentle, gentle and elegant, soft but not weak. It is not at all like Yu's kind of top-notch in everything, showing a noble style everywhere.
Lan Xin curtsied and said with a smile: "Lan Xin has seen Madame, and Madame has a good reputation. β
"Ahh
Old Madam Fang glared at her with disgust, and said with a deliberate tiger face: "Don't count on me, you don't look like a lady at all." Your mother scolds you, but I don't intercede. β
Lan Xin stood aside with a smile, keenly aware that Old Madam Fang's mood was much better than when she first entered the door. Moreover, she also noticed that the eldest lady's eyes were shining with tears.
"You, look at you, shouting, where have you learned all the manners I usually teach you?" said the eldest lady with a straight face and a nasal voice.
"Ouch, mother~" Fang Ning hugged the arm of the eldest lady Lu Shi and coquettishly, the eldest lady's nose was sore, and tears almost rushed out. Since that incident, Sister Ning'er has been silent, and she hasn't said a word except for her daily greetings. The more she looked fine, the more uncomfortable Lu's heart became. Lu even thought that even if Sister Ning cried all day and wiped her tears, it was better than pretending to be strong like this. Today she hugged her arm and shouted "Mother", her heart was soft, so she could only turn her head and ask Old Madam Fang for help.
