Chapter 268 Maintenance
Cuiying bowed shortly, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Old lady, the girl of the Yu family has arrived." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" As soon as Cui Ying's words fell, Lan Xin felt several eyes from different directions fall on him at the same time, some disdain, some inquiry, and more curiosity. I don't understand why Mrs. Lu let this merchant's daughter enter the Millennium Hall?
Lan Xin withstood the pressure from all sides, Ying Yingfu saluted, smiled and said: "Yu Jia Lan Xin has seen the old lady, I wish the old lady a long life and good health!" The voice is gentle and crisp, like a stream of water, gurgling in people's hearts.
"Okay, good, good boy, stop being polite, get up quickly. Old Madam Lu said with a smile, squinting her eyes and carefully looking at the people standing below. I saw a slim little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old standing there, her eyes as bright as the stars in the sky, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and a calm smile on her face. In the face of many scrutiny, the little girl was able to be so calm and composed, and Mrs. Lu couldn't help but glance at it in her heart.
Thinking of her posture just now, the standard is decent, elegant and generous, even those noble girls in the capital are probably worse! This rule and etiquette are not taught by ordinary merchants, is it because of the grandmother in the palace?
Old Madam Lu was full of thoughts in her heart, but her face was not obvious at all, and she greeted with a smile: "Good boy, come over and sit next to me." The little girl cleverly brought the brocade stool and placed it beside the old lady.
Lan Xin didn't twist, and after thanking the old lady, he walked over generously. As expected, the old lady was in good spirits, her eyes were bright, clear, and she did not look old at all. Wearing a black ground peony embroidered trimmed placket coat, light cyan horse-faced skirt. His white hair was pinned behind his head with a pair of turquoise jade hostas, and he wore a black peony on his head to wipe his forehead. The peony is layered on top of each other, and the petals are spread, and it seems that you can smell the refreshing fragrance. The most rare thing is the east pearl in the middle, round and huge, crystal clear, a rare treasure at a glance.
Lan Xin sat sideways on the brocade stool, his back straight, his hands lightly clenched, stacked on his legs, with a light smile on his face, dignified and elegant. Old Madam Lu swept her sitting posture out of the corner of her eyes, and she was more sure of her previous thoughts, such a standard and elegant sitting posture must have been taught by the grandmother in the palace. Moreover, that grandma's status in the palace is not low. Who is so capable of inviting the grandmother in the palace for her? Thinking of this, my heart can't help but sink.
Old Madam Lu's thoughts flashed for a moment, and she still had a warm smile on her face, and said softly: "Haven't you always praised my forehead embroidery for its exquisite and excellent workmanship, and have always wanted to know who this ingenious person is? Old Madam Lu's voice was raised slightly, full of pleasure.
"Yo, isn't it? I didn't expect the jade girl to look like a logo, and her hands are so clever, it's really a good blue heart!"
"Yes, yes, at such a young age, the embroiderer is so good, it's really terrifying!"
"Who says it's not? My sister Ling is fifteen years old, and she still can't hold the needle steadily! It's like a jade girl, this embroidery is so good, she simply embroidered that peony alive!"
The people present are all some old ladies, and Lan Xin guessed that they should be the old ladies of the county orders of several large counties in Jiangzhou, as well as the old ladies of several families with heads and faces in Jiangzhou City. As soon as Mrs. Lu's words fell, several old ladies with eyes followed her words and praised them with smiles on their faces.
There were also three or two old ladies who raised their eyebrows, glanced at Lan Xin with disdain, and turned their heads with the corners of their mouths. Then there is, sitting there quietly drinking tea with a teacup, not praising or despising, a picture of immobility, as if everything around her has nothing to do with her.
Lan Xin sat there quietly, taking in everyone's expressions. She knew it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, whether it was praise or contempt, she treated it indifferently. The old lady was more satisfied with her unarrogant and impatient character, and the unhappiness in her heart was finally evacuated.
She knew that Brother Sheng followed his father's temperament, was upright and stubborn, and knew how to repay his kindness. Huzhou was a matter back then, although he just said it briefly, but she knew that it must have been very dangerous at that time. When Pingshui met, Master Yu was able to draw his sword to help each other, and he spoke up righteously, this kindness will definitely be reciprocated, but unfortunately the Yu family is in trouble. At that time, when Brother Sheng wanted to use the "Lanting Order" to seek the prefect of Jiangzhou, although she was unwilling, she still handed over the book to Lu Qiu.
Although it has been so long, the estrangement in my heart is not so easy to overcome. Now I see this girl from the Yu family, who knows how to read and is courteous, has a degree of advance and retreat, and is a person who distinguishes between right and wrong. I feel a little calmer, and I am much more steady.
glanced at everyone's expressions lightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't praise her like this, children don't praise her." The soft tone was full of protection and pride.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, they didn't expect Mrs. Lu to defend the girl of the Yu family like this. Except for a few old ladies with emotions in their hearts, everyone else looked at Lan Xin differently. Even Lan Xin's heart was shocked, she didn't expect that Old Madam Lu would give her such a big face.
A few old ladies who could talk immediately hugged Mrs. Lu and said, "How could it be? I see that although this girl is young, she is well-informed and well-read." It has the style of an old lady. ā
"Oops, you're really good at talking. Old Madam Lu laughed happily. Subsequently, everyone talked about embroidery, from embroidery to the current popular clothing styles.
Lan Xin had been sitting beside the old lady with a smile on her face, listening quietly. When she was mentioned, she replied in a few respectful words. Everyone chatted for a while, and Cuiying opened the curtain and came in to report: "Old lady, Sister Gui Yuan next to Madame came over and said that the banquet is ready, please invite the old lady and all the old ladies to the table." ā
"Okay, let's take a seat. Time is in a hurry, there are some inconsiderate places, and I hope you don't mind. Old Madam Lu said with a smile.
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and said they didn't dare. Old Madam Lu got up and quietly dodged Cui Ying's support. Lan Xin's eyes rolled, and she walked to Mrs. Lu's side with the corners of her mouth pursed, and Mrs. Lu naturally put her hand on Lan Xin's outstretched hand.
Everyone came to the greenhouse with a smile, and Mrs. Lu was already there with someone.
