Chapter 165: Meeting the Elders
Looking at the four maids in front of her, Xu Wanzhen said in a deep voice: "You are the dowry maids I gave to my sister, and Mama Zheng must have already talked about it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the future, my sister is your only master. You have remembered for me, if you can't protect my sister in the He family, or if you have any crooked thoughts, even if my sister is soft-hearted, I won't, and it will be light to sell it. ”
Recalling Mama Zheng's methods, the four of them were timid, and hurriedly responded in unison: "Please rest assured, Miss, the maid will definitely obey the order." ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, and said, "If my sister has difficulties in the He family, you can come to the Xu family to find me." The four of them went down again.
Mama Zheng said: "The remaining four maids, if the young lady is not in a hurry, let the old body train for another half a month?"
Xu Wanzhen nodded in response, although there are not enough manpower at the moment, she is not in a hurry for this time and a half.
In the early morning of the next day, the Qingzhu Garden was busy.
Mrs. Xu, Uncle Xu, Uncle Sancousin, and Xu Wanzhen each took their subordinates and set off from the door in the right corner and took four carriages. The four maids prepared for Han Runiang got into the last car, and the group went straight to Xu's house in Jiashanfang.
When it was just time to arrive, Han Runiang got up and washed up, sat in front of the dressing table after breakfast, and dressed up in the mirror.
Sang Zi combed a hanging bun for her, pressed it with a pink pearl butterfly hair comb, and inserted a lotus head wishful hairpin next to the bun. Her naturally drooping hair was tied into a swallowtail at the back of her head, and a string of pearls the size of a grain of rice was embellished, making her beautiful cheeks even more delicate.
Even though I can see it from time to time, Han Runiang's stunning face is still stunned, and she said with a smile: "Miss Han is so beautiful, don't say a man, the slave and maid are also fascinated." ”
Han Runiang said ashamedly: "You little hoof! Come and help me see, which dress to wear?"
On the soft couch by the window, there are two sets of dresses, one is a goose yellow embroidered begonia pattern collar jacket with six silver silk silk skirts of the same color, and the other is a garnet red cardigan with a hundred butterflies and a red waist-length skirt.
Sang Zi took the dress and compared it to Han Runiang, and said, "With Miss Han's complexion, no matter which outfit she wears, she is extremely beautiful. Why don't you put it on and have a look?"
The goose yellow color is delicate, lining Han Runiang slim, a pure and pretty girl, and the pomegranate red is as gorgeous as fire, making Han Runiang have a charming and bright beauty.
Sang Zi said: "To meet the elders today, goose yellow is more appropriate." "Han Runiang is naturally beautiful, but in front of the elders, she is obviously a delicate girl, and her charming style is more suitable for showing to the second son of He after getting married.
Han Runiang nodded, changed into a dress, and Sang Zi put makeup on her. Her skin is like congealed cream, and only a shallow layer of powder is applied to make it more transparent. also chose pink rouge and lipstick colors, and put on a delicate girl's makeup.
After the grooming stopped, Han Runiang looked at the mirror several times and asked, "Sang Zi, do you think there is something wrong with me?"
Sang Zi smiled: "Miss Han is a little nervous? ”
Han Runiang nodded, took out a tapestry of Guanyin statue that had been carefully embroidered during these days, and handed it to Sang Zi to put in the brocade box, which was a gift she prepared for her elders. I was supposed to be ready for daily wear, such as clothes, hats, shoes and socks, but I haven't seen them and I don't know the size.
As soon as the time arrived, Han Runiang was looking forward to it. Sang Zi knew that she was nervous in her heart, and said in a brisk tone: "Miss Han has never been to 'Songxi Academy' yet, and it takes an hour to get there from Jiashanfang! The time spent on the road is only half an hour, but there are many people entering the city from 'Anximen' in the morning, which takes time. ”
Han Runiang suppressed the nervousness in her heart and chatted with Sang Zi about the "Songxi Academy", she is also the daughter of the official eunuch, and she has long heard of the reputation of the old lady of the Tu family. Thinking that if this matter goes well, he and Tu Shanchang will become distant relatives in the future, and he can't help but sigh at the mystery of the world.
Someone from the front yard came to report: "Miss Han, Mrs. Xu has arrived!" Han Runiang hurriedly got up and went outside the second gate to greet her.
The carriage drove into the second gate of Xu's house, Yulu helped Mrs. Xu get out of the carriage first, followed by the third cousin and uncle, and finally Cai Si helped Xu Wanzhen, and finally the four maids who wanted to give Han Runiang.
Han Runiang stepped forward and saluted: "Ru Niang has seen the old lady, I haven't seen her for a while, how is the old lady?"
Mrs. Xu helped her up with a smile and said, "Good boy, get up quickly, you still remember my old woman." Let me introduce you, this is my third cousin and third cousin, you can follow Wanzhen and call your third cousin uncle and cousin. ”
Han Runiang saluted the two of them and said, "Ru Niang has seen the third cousin uncle and the third cousin. ”
Although it was briefly mentioned in the letter that Han Runiang was kind and beautiful, when they really saw it, the two were still amazed by her beauty. Such a beautiful and delicate girl, and her life experience is so bumpy, the third cousin's uncle suddenly felt a burst of pity in her heart, stepped forward to help her up, and said, "A good boy doesn't need to be polite. ”
The group sat down in the main hall, and Sang Zi served tea.
Mrs. Xu said: "Ru Niang, this child, is just too kind. I liked it as soon as I saw it, so I took great pains to help her find her adoptive father and adoptive mother. ”
The third cousin nodded, and the third cousin took off a pair of magpie plum pattern gold bracelets on his wrist and put them on Han Runiang: "Poor one, I can't wait to call you to your daughter immediately." "I love her beyond words.
Han Runiang replied softly: "Ru Niang thanked her third cousin. ”
Behind him, Sang Zi handed over the brocade box, Han Runiang took it and presented it to the two, and said: "Because I heard that the third cousin worships Guanyin, I specially prepared a pair of embroidered statues of Guanyin. ”
The third cousin took it with a smile, opened it and took a look, a beautiful statue of Guanyin, only to see the solemn appearance of Guanyin, the corner of the mouth with a smile, and the poplar branch in his hand sprinkled with nectar, lifelike. praised: "Good embroiderer!" I can't put it down, and I am a little satisfied with Han Runiang in my heart.
Xu Wanzhen saw that Han Runiang had successfully won the love of the two, and her heart was settled, and she looked at her and smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's a little boring to accompany us old people, you two little sisters go to play by yourself." ”
Han Runiang said, "Old lady, third cousin, third cousin, please rest for a while." Ru Niang prepared lunch, and came to invite her when the meal was over. ”
The third cousin and uncle loved Han Runiang more and more at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!"
Xu Wanzhen and Han Runiang went down together, and when they arrived in the small courtyard where she lived, they called the four maids waiting here, and said, "Why don't you come and meet your master." ”
Last night, Mama Zheng told them in detail about the young lady they were about to serve and the situation of marrying into the He family. Of course, she didn't mention her life experience, but now they all know it in their hearts and come forward to see her.
Xu Wanzhen stepped out of the way, let Han Runiang accept their courtesy, and said with a smile: "Caisi, you tell your sister about their respective characteristics." ”
