Chapter Forty-Nine: Mrs. Jia
Zhen Wanyi and Zhen Ruyi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Eighth sister, you haven't seen anyone since you entered the mansion, how do I know who you invited over?"
Zhen Wenyi smiled proudly: "This is Jiafu Qi Niang, Qi Niang, this is my seventh sister and ninth sister." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhen Wanyi and the two got up together, and the two greeted each other, and Jia Qi Niang said: "I often hear Banniang say that there are two sisters in Zhen's mansion. ”
This Jia Qi Niang's voice was flat, with a thick Beijing accent, as if she was deliberately chewing words, and the words of praise came out of her mouth but she lost her sincerity, and only plain words remained.
Zhen Wanyi smiled as gently as ever, "Qi Niang praised it, I often heard the eighth sister talk about you, saying that you are from everyone, you have excellent appearance, and your temperament is also very gentle, and you are an excellent person to get along with!"
Zhen Wenyi only raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and looked at Zhen Wanyi with a bright smile.
Jia Qiniang glanced at Zhen Wenyi after hearing this, her face was much warmer, the corners of her mouth were a little smiling, and she finally looked at the person in front of her, this look really surprised her a little, the beautiful girl in front of her was simply a spring begonia, wearing a pink narrow-shouldered jacket and cotton skirt, quietly blooming in a corner where no one was around, not competing for the spring sun. Unlike Zhen Banniang beside her, the cotton dress with green and yellow silk, the cuffs and skirt of the placket are embroidered with delicate twig patterns, standing there is like a peach blossom in full bloom, and the gorgeous colors on the body make people can't take their eyes off.
"These are all kind words from Banniang. By the way, I don't know many of the young ladies who came here today, do you know them all?"
Zhen Wanyi walked around, there were quite a lot of familiar faces, but it was impossible for her to say it carefully, except for a few cousins of the Zhang family, and others, she only knew the two young ladies of the Assassin family and the three young ladies of the county order family, and she couldn't say anything else. You must know that on such occasions, she mostly stays quietly in a corner, not to mention that she was young before, and sometimes she went out to the house with a few older sisters, and she didn't have many opportunities to show her face.
So when Jia Qiniang said this, Zhen Wanyi looked at Zhen Wenyi, she loved to join in the fun at home, and she knew the most people.
Sure enough, Zhen Wenyi turned around and pulled Jia Qiniang to introduce the ladies in the attic one by one, "The young lady wearing a pink makeup brocade hairpin and a ruby plum blossom hairpin is the third miss of the Wu family in the Assassin's Mansion, her sister-in-law Fourth Miss on the right, and a pair of East Lake bead earrings on the left hand are their cousin, the daughter of Jiangnan Buzheng Shi, I heard that she will celebrate the New Year at the Wu Governor's house this year." There are also yellow, light purple, and blue skirts standing behind them are the second sister Li, the third sister and the fourth sister of the county order family, and the pair of sisters with lake beads and flowers sitting on the Taishi chair on the right side of the gate are the second and fourth ladies of the Fan family in the east of the city, their mansion is separated from my house by an alley, and standing by the window to enjoy the plum is the ninth miss and ten young eleven young ladies of the Zhang family, the Zhang family is my uncle's grandfather's house, and ......"
Zhen Wenyi has a good memory, and she is very attentive to people's dress, and she speaks to the young lady in the attic one by one, and her words are concise and shocking, which makes people understand it very clearly at a glance. Zhen Wanyi secretly sighed, this Zhen Wenyi is also a capable person, although her temperament is a little flamboyant and her skills are mediocre, but her connections alone have thrown her 108,000 miles, if she was born in modern times, she is definitely a person who does personnel and public relations.
After chatting for a while, they were lively, and they saw two good-looking maids walk in and walked straight to Jia Qiniang, "Miss, the banquet is ready, Madame asked you to invite all the young ladies to Ningyuanzhai for dinner." ”
So under the leadership of Jia Qiniang, everyone went out one by one, put on a cloak and went to Ningyuanzhai under the waiting of their own maids.
The cold wind was cold, and when she came out of the warm attic, Zhen Wanyi was shivered by the fine snow slag that fell into her neck, in such weather, it was much more comfortable to stay in the warm pavilion and eat the hot meals sent by the maids than to walk around in this garden, if it wasn't for the fourth wife who had to ask her to go out of this door, she really didn't want to come out. Miss Boudoir in this hospital, if you have eyes, you can see why, it's just a solution yuan, is it necessary to be so crazy?
Although Zhen Wanyi was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't show any points on her face, this was a guest in someone else's house, although she couldn't see people in the shadows, but that didn't mean that no one observed herself, now her words and deeds represent Zhen's house, and there are two sisters above her, but because of her dislike, others can't mistakenly think that Zhen's daughters are uneducated.
Ning Yuanzhai is not far away, it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk, there are already many people gathered in the courtyard, and when I look at it, I find that the three wives of the Zhen Mansion are among them, and it seems that this is a place to entertain the wives. The ladies each found their own mothers and stood together.
The lady Zhen Wanyi who sat on the main seat had seen it when she first entered the mansion, it was Mrs. Jia who had a relationship with her in the White Horse Temple, and the other person sitting opposite her was Mrs. Wu of the Assassin Family.
The three wives of the Zhen family sat on the lower left of the eldest lady, opposite the eldest lady was a slightly plump woman in purple clothes, with only a jade hairpin with an excellent water head between her black hair, elegant and dignified, this should be the second lady of Jiafu, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she swept everyone one by one, and when she met anyone who looked at her, she would bow her head slightly, looking extremely kind and kind.
The one sitting on the right hand side of the second lady is wearing a narrow shoulder jacket of red satin and a jade flower skirt, and the most conspicuous thing in the pearl green is a gold silk eight treasures beaded bun, which is very dazzling. With an arrogant face, somewhat similar to Jia Qiniang, it seems that it is undoubtedly the third lady of Jiafu, who is holding a tea bowl and tasting it carefully, it seems that drinking tea is the most important thing for her at this time.
Mrs. Jia looked in the direction of Mrs. Zhen Si and said with a smile: "That's Jiuniang of your mansion, what a well-behaved child, people like it at first sight." ”
The fourth lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is smiling, this girl spoils me and the fourth master on weekdays, and she is very squeamish, but I have a headache all day long." ”
The eldest lady smiled even more, "This makes the little lady precious, I want to be in the capital who doesn't spoil their own lady, such a little lady will be able to raise her head and be a person in her husband's house in the future." You are from the capital, so naturally you are the same as your Jiuniang. ”
The fourth wife's smile remained unchanged, "It's too far away to talk about her husband's house, the ninth sister is still young, and I plan to stay for two more years." ”
The second wife hurriedly took over and said: "Of course, not to mention that my younger sister is my aunt, and I also love this little niece very much, and I follow the fourth brother and sister all day long, what a caring child." It's like our eighth sister, who is in the company of those poems and books all day long, and has to practice 200 big characters every day before she is willing to stop, and she has no time to talk to me as a mother, which really distresses me. ”
Zhen Wanyi blinked her eyes and hung her head slightly, not understanding what kind of trouble this Mrs. Jia was making, so she had to be shy.
