Chapter 2: Mother and Daughter

Hui Zhi raised her head when she heard this, with a smile on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

The eldest lady Wang is in her thirties, well-maintained, her face is round, her eyes are bright, her eyebrows are slender and her eyebrows are gentle and heroic, her homely hair is combed in a non-messy bun, she only brought two gold hairpins with beads, scarlet embroidered gold thread straight sleeves, soft-soled satin embroidered shoes, and a dark blue plain Hunan skirt, looking at her gently and lovingly.

"Suihua is going to be drafted into the palace in the spring, and in a few days you will go to play with her when you are well-nourished, since Huirong got married, I have seen you and her more intimate on weekdays, I didn't expect that you and her will be closer across the room."

"The second sister is now hiding in the room to embroider the dowry, and she doesn't often come out to play with the sisters, I also think that the third sister treats people kindly and sincerely, unlike the fourth sister who always compares with others, who wears a beautiful bead flower today, she will put the new palace flower all over her head to show people, and she is not too tired"

The girls of the Hou Mansion are about the same regardless of their concubines, and Mrs. Wang treats their children very leniently. The brother of Aunt Lin, the biological mother of the four girls, took charge of the second steward in the Shen family of the imperial businessman, and often sent some exquisite and ingenious objects and jewelry to her.

The temperament of the four girls is better understood by everyone, Mrs. Wang is noncommittal, just said that she "You will be twelve in the new year, you should adopt your heart and raise your temperament, De Rong's speech skills must always be learned hard, do you think which girl in the capital speaks like you and does not leave color for people?" ”

Hui Zhi pursed her lips and shook her mother's hand: "It's just that she doesn't like her, my mother must punish Aunt Lin for grounding, otherwise she will make trouble and make her mother unhappy." ”

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "I don't know what tricks she thinks?" If you want to enter the palace with such a temperament, you also have to see if you have the life to survive in the palace, the above article of the seven feelings alone, I am afraid that as soon as you enter, you will be taken advantage of the shortcomings of the play, and if you are sold, I am afraid that she will be the last to know. The third girl is very suitable for me, she looks docile and polite, but her heart is breathable, your third sister is also beautiful, her mind is exquisite, and she will not let the family worry too much when she enters the palace. Looking at the four girls who have done so many bad things before, none of them can climb her, and she doesn't know how many paragraphs higher she has in terms of mental talent. ”

After that, he asked Linglong, who came with him, to hand over a cloak, "The fifteenth day of the lunar month is the plum banquet of the sincere uncle's family, your aunt knows that you are sick and is very concerned about you, and the medicinal herbs and supplements are sent over like flowing water, and Xiaozhi is also very worried about you." I asked Mrs. Jiang and said that after you took the medicine this time, your health will only be better, so I don't have to worry, since she is the one your father nodded and invited in, she must not be wrong. ”

Mother only knew that her father and brother were close to the Silent Valley, but she didn't know that she also worshiped under Mrs. Qiwu's seat, and her mother admired and believed in her father, as long as it was someone invited by her father, she was very relieved and trusted.

The mother was about to say something more, but Hui Zhi pulled her sleeve and opened happily: "Is this cloak worn to the banquet?" Open it up and I'll take a look. ”

Wang's family is dignified and generous, and he is a good housekeeper, just a little, seeing his in-laws' children, the chatterbox seems to be unstoppable, as a three-year-old child.

Hearing this, Linglong and Xianfang stepped forward to unfold the cloak together, the tribute satin of the concubine-colored flowers, embroidered with a red plum at the bottom, the branches are tortuous and handsome, the petals are bright and the color is bright and dazzling, and the stamens are slender and moving, which is a good picture of cold plums; The auspicious white satin pattern is used as the collar, the finger belly-sized pearl is buckled, and the shoulder is delicately embroidered with a magpie spring herald picture, which makes people look warm.

"It's so good-looking," Hui Zhi praised, "with my cloud water pattern Hangzhou silk stand-up collar jacket, crab shell blue square neck embroidered color butterfly than the mother of the armor, how do you think?" The moon-white plain Hunan skirt is said to be just right, elegant and colorful. ”

Wang looked at his daughter with low eyebrows, the willow-like eyebrows were like himself, but the lines were more gentle, the big eyes were like Hou Ye, bright as if washed spotless, the forehead was smooth, and the skin was still a little white, but it was clean and transparent, like a quiet hibiscus waiting to be released, very beautiful.

"You have always dressed in good colors, and your sisters and sisters are not as good as you," Wang said with a smile, "I have already ordered the head of the banquet to fight, and if you have any favorite looks, take them to fight the new ones." ”

The heads of the sisters at the banquet are always similar, so that outsiders can know that the girls of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion have a deep brotherhood and are in the same spirit, and the extra is probably what the mother wants to make up for herself during the New Year.

Thinking of this, she smiled happily, "A few days ago, I just polished the beautiful appearance that my eldest brother painted for me, and it was on the desk, and Pei Lan went to get it." ”

Mother scratched her nose, "I don't know how to practice calligraphy all day long, I heard your father say that Jiang Niangzi writes extremely beautifully with hairpins in one hand, and she reads books well. ”

Hui Zhi knew that this was something that her father had mentioned to her mother, and she was also very anxious to know about the Silent Valley, so she obediently continued, "Jiang Niangzi has excellent medical skills, and I heard that people are also very kind, presumably the sisters will like her." ”

"You've been sensible for a while."

"Where is my mother, I have always been the most sensible one" Hui Zhi was smiling and playing tricks in her mother's arms, but listening to the little girl at the door with green sleeves, the fourth lady knelt in the ancestral hall for a day, Mrs. Tai asked her to copy the Buddhist scriptures to calm down and recuperate, but she didn't expect her to copy it all night, and she also contracted the wind cold.

After hearing the news, Wang's face was uncertain, but Hui Zhi's face was a little dark, and she instructed Xianfang, "If you are infected with the cold, please ask the doctor in the house to take a look, I am dizzy, go and invite Mrs. Jiang to come over." ”

Wang looked at her delicate appearance and said that she was dizzy, and wanted to laugh, so bluntly snatching people over, probably only her little daughter would make it.

"I'll reward the medicinal herbs to Aunt Lin later, and send the ready-to-wear clothes for the fifteenth banquet over." After speaking, the corners of her mouth crooked and smiled, "She taught her daughter the bitter meat trick, and I let her know that she might miss the opportunity to find a good son, but unfortunately, even if she is not sick, she will be grounded at home until the beginning of spring." ”

Sincerity Bo is sincere and not a party, and he is very straightforward and generous, and many famous ministers and nobles in Beijing are good friends, and the sincerity of Bo Shizi and Chengyi Bo are in the same line, calligraphy and painting are also extremely good, it is a banquet hosted by Mrs. Shizi, and there have always been many literati talents, and it has also become a good opportunity for the ladies in the capital to see their sons-in-law.

Aunt Lin grew up in the capital since she was a child, and she has heard a lot of these things, and she must know the benefits of the plum banquet. Qin Sui was sick and fasted, whether the banquet could follow her or not - she only knew that it was more important to let Sui Fan be sick and sympathize with a good doctor to treat the disease, but she forgot that it was more important to choose a good man to give her daughter out to marry.

The doctor went to Jifangyuan to check the pulse, prescribed medicine, and finally got up after three days of rest, and went to ask his mother for his guilt, but he missed the family reunion of the Laba Festival in vain, and she was often able to please the elders and get a lot of rewards.

At the morning ceremony of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Suifeng stared at Hui Zhi, who was sitting on the side of his mother-in-law, who was coquettish and stupid, and finally restrained the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart - if she hadn't stopped her, if the female doctor surnamed Jiang had treated her, would it have been delayed until today before she could get up?

If she was two days earlier, she could also discuss countermeasures with her aunt, why did she let the third girl pick up the leak that entered the palace?
