Chapter 786: Smoke Red
The summer wind swirls across the palace walls, blowing all the sounds without a trace. And the cries and moans that were suppressed in the deep palace also disappeared in this wind.
When this gust of hot wind swept through the imperial city, from the land of wealth and gold dust, and fell into the homes of ordinary people, they became cheerful again, brushing a few rows of willow trees and a few strands of hair and sideburns, like naughty children, shuttling from the streets and alleys.
Located in the courtyard of the Zhong family in Shuijingfang, the capital city, there is a good wind gusting at this time, blowing through the flowers and trees in the courtyard.
Liu stood under the eaves of the porch and straightened the hem of his clothes that had been blown by the wind.
She wore a newly-cut summer shirt, a wide-edged large-sleeved shirt embroidered with silver lotus leaves in moon white, and an eight-panel skirt with stone green folded branches and peonies, all of which were the latest styles in most of the capital, which made her several years younger.
A few small mustaches were wrapping around the window to paste the curtain, and Liu pointed out on the side: "...... Slow down, turn the tricky side outward, and don't get it reversed. Be careful when cutting, don't cut from the middle of the bamboo branches, the leaves are not neat, it is not good-looking, if someone comes as a guest, it will be laughed at......"
She said this in a whisper, with a relaxed smile on her face, and her expression was full of comfort.
The freshly pasted window screen is a pretty smoky red, reflecting the tall wooden trees outside the window, the more silent the window and the pillow is cool.
The little mustaches responded in unison, and shook the big curtain in the wind, as if carrying a cloud, and the little mustache took silver scissors and carefully cut them from the edge of the bamboo leaf pattern.
"Erniang, take a look, do you like this color?" Liu looked at the window screen left and right, and beckoned to the house.
Qin Yanwan, who was sitting by the desk reading a book, heard this, so she put down the book in her hand, got up and walked to the window to look at it, and said with a smile: "This color is so bright and bright, Aunt Zhong will really pick it very well." In my opinion, it's good. ”
Liu Shi laughed: "I also think this color is good, the three of you sisters live in this courtyard, and the window screen of the pear moon green is a little older, which is not suitable for you young girls." ”
Qin Yanwan smiled and said nothing, while Qin Yanzhen, who was sitting on the side, had an indifferent face, staring at the chess table in front of her, as if she didn't pay attention to the things around her.
Qin Yantang glanced at her, raised his hand to drop the sunspot on the chessboard, and drank tea while holding the teacup, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong is so worried, if I see it, the original curtain color is cooler." ”
Liu Shi laughed when he said this, and looked at the three girls in front of him with bent eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
The Qin family came to Beijing this time, and there were two Langjun and three girls in total, and the Zhong family's house happened to be in four directions, and it was not too crowded to stuff so many people.
Don't talk about it, just talk about the three girls of the Qin family, and the first one is called Liu Huanxi.
Qin Yanwan is beautiful, Qin Yanzhen is elegant and calm, and Qin Yanzhen is beautiful and quiet. The three girls are each good in their own way, and they are all beautiful, and they can almost make people's eyes look at flowers.
Every time he saw them, Liu always felt satisfied.
Zhong Dalang's age is not young, according to her meaning, she really wants to choose one of these three girls as a wife. No matter how bad it is, it is also a good thing to choose a concubine as a concubine.
If it was in the past, the girl of the Qin family would not be able to reach his Zhong family, and she would not dare to have this thought, except for a maid in the outer room, Qin Su, the Liu family had never thought of it.
But that's no longer the case.
The status of the Qin family in Jiangyang County is now a little embarrassing. On the bright side, their family has a Jinling princess, which is an unexpected joy and the glory of the family; But at worst, Princess Jinling is not surnamed Qin in the end, and the Qin family treats this princess very well.
It is rumored in the county that the Lin family was extremely strict with this outer room girl, and it can even be said that she was abusive, and the princess was extremely weak when she returned to the palace, and she even fell into a bone disease at a young age, which was all due to the Lin family.
With these rumors, the Qin family's inner house is not governed and the family style is not strict, and it gradually spread.
In addition, Qin Yanya, the eldest lady of the Qin family, was sent to the family temple for cultivation, and she said that she wanted to pray for her mother and brother, but how could this kind of thing be hidden from others? If Qin Yanya hadn't done something that violated the clan rules, how could a young girl of marriage age be arranged to go to the family temple for retreat?
Also, Qin Yanzhao and Qin Yanli's brothers and sisters both died tragically, and it is said that they were charged with murder before they died, and Qin Yanli was even beheaded by Fan Dalang in public, and his death was tragic.
So many things happened to the Qin family, how could the reputation be good? Even if there is a Jinling princess, but Her Royal Highness the princess treats the Qin family like this, what is there not to understand in the eyes of a discerning person?
Now, Mrs. Qin and the old ladies of the two houses are closed, and the burden of the Qin family has fallen on Qin Yanzhao, a son who is not yet eighteen years old, and it is really hard to say what will happen to the Qin family in the future.
On the other hand, the Zhong family, the Zhong family is quite famous in Shangjing, and recently it has also made a name for itself in Caoyun, and in front of the Qin family, the people of the Zhong family are no longer as short as before, and the Liu family also has a feeling of raising their eyebrows.
Under such circumstances, it seems that it is not so difficult to choose a Qin concubine as Zhong Dalang's wife, or to accept a Qin concubine as Zhong Dalang's concubine.
Of course, this is just a little careful thinking in private, and the Liu family has not mentioned it to Mrs. Qin openly, and she still wants to wait.
The lesson of a year ago has not been forgotten by Liu. And the iron plate kicked by Qin Su still makes her uncomfortable until now.
She will never understand, how could she be blinded by lard in the first place, and actually wanted to include Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess of Da Chen, into the mansion as Zhong Dalang's concubine?
How did she grow this brain?
Her Royal Highness the princess has such an outstanding demeanor and such a beautiful appearance, just by virtue of Qin Shizhang, can he give birth to such a daughter?
Every time he thinks about it, Liu will feel uncomfortable all over his body, and his face hurts even more.
How big a score she put in front of Qin Su back then, now her face hurts so much.
Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess of the family has a large number of adults, and she didn't care about these things, and even rewarded things. This made Liu more and more reluctant to be in a hurry while rejoicing, and only pressed his mind and did not mention it.
"Aunt Zhong doesn't always stand, sit down and rest." Qin Yanwan's soft voice came from his ears, and Liu immediately came back to his senses.
She turned her head to look at Qin Yanwan, and then looked at Qin Yanzhen and Qin Yantang who were playing on the side, and only felt that the girls of the Qin family were really blessed, and they were all beautiful and pleasing.
"It's still Awan, remember my aunt." Liu smiled and patted Qin Yanwan's hand, picked a begonia drum stool to sit on, took out the leno scarf and wiped the corners of his lips, and said with a pretence: "It's better than those two, I know that I am stubborn, and I don't care about my aunt." ”
