Chapter 251: Mingyan
"Good. Mrs. Meng took off a pair of jade bracelets on her hand and kissed her gloves on Su Yiqing's wrist.
"Thank you...... Thank. Su Yiqing still couldn't call out her mother smoothly, and her smile was very far-fetched.
Mrs. Meng said a few more gossips casually, and said casually before leaving: "Fu'er, tomorrow the old lady of Hu Shilang's family will celebrate her 80th birthday, and she has invited our whole Meng family, and I will go with your father and your sister, are you interested in going together?"
"This ...... Is it appropriate?" Su Yiqing was a little hesitant, if it was according to Dajing's rules, the girl who was engaged and about to get married should be married at home, but the rules of Da Zhou were obviously looser.
Mrs. Meng was a little misunderstood, and explained warmly, "As long as you are willing, you can naturally, you are now a serious concubine of my Mengfu, and you can go to any banquet invited by the Mansion, of course, this kind of banquet is only afraid that it will be a little boring, if you don't want to go, it doesn't matter." ”
"In that case, I'm going to see it. "Su Yiqing is not interested in banquets and the like, but she still wants to go out, at least to know a little more about the life of the noblewomen or nobles of the Great Zhou, and it is always helpful to make some preparations for the future life.
"Then I will tell the maid to prepare, and you will wear this set of clothes tomorrow, and the old man's birthday banquet should be festive." Although Madame Meng was a little surprised, she didn't want to say more, and left after a few words.
Qing Mama followed closely behind Mrs. Meng, she always felt that the second lady was like a different person since she was engaged to the prince Ding, of course, the wild girl in the countryside was about to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, if it didn't change at all, it was not normal, it was a little arrogant and domineering to give people a face everywhere, she always thought so, but just now the second lady put on new clothes, after she carefully observed, she found out. There is a faint sense of nobility in the second lady, and there is elegance and freedom that ordinary noblewomen do not have, is this just to study hard with a grandmother in the countryside?
I didn't pay attention to it before. After paying attention, think about the third lady where the lady is, compare the two, and think that the third lady grew up in the countryside, is this the so-called natural wealth? Maybe the second miss really has this blessing and can enjoy the wealth of the palace.
Thinking like this, Mama Qing said to Mrs. Meng: "Madam, the second lady has never been out. Do you want Miss 3 to come over and talk to Miss 2...... Some of the rules of the banquet and the things to pay attention to when dealing with noble ladies. ”
Mrs. Meng said lightly: "These Ping mothers will also know." There is no need for Yan'er to teach, Yan'er is young, and she is not very skilled in many things. However, Mama also has some truth in what she said, so it is inevitable that Ping's mother has some omissions, and Mama will follow Xiaofu's side with Ping's mother today to serve and mention. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Seeing that Madam Meng didn't seem to understand her hints, Qing Mama hesitated for a moment, but decided to go straight and build again. "Madam, the old slave wants to say that the second lady lived in the countryside in her early years, and the third lady was not too sensible when she left, and now that she is back, the two sisters will inevitably be separated. Shouldn't the third lady go to the second lady more often? What are the sisters talking about?"
Mrs. Meng smiled and asked Mama Qing, "Mama, I understand what you mean." It's just that have you ever thought about what others will think if you ignore others for more than ten years, and when they get power, they will walk around every day?"
"This ...... Ordinary relatives have to move around often to get closer and closer, not to mention the sisters whose blood is thicker than water, they have been together for a long time, and some misunderstandings are easy to resolve, not to mention that there is no dislike between the second miss and the third miss. "Mama Qing feels that people's hearts are made of meat, not to mention that the road of the second lady and princess is not easy to walk, she definitely needs the help of her mother's family, she doesn't want to hit the smiling person, no matter how she shows goodwill, it is better than holding a shelf, even if the second miss is young and doesn't understand it, she will always appreciate it in the future.
"Mama Hugh wants to mention this matter again, and she can't say this in front of Yan'er, she can only treat Xiaofu as an ordinary sister, you must know that it is too much. Mrs. Meng glanced at Mama Qing and seemed to want to say, her face suddenly became stern, "Mama is old, she won't not understand this truth, right?"
The old slave knew his mistake and didn't dare to say that anymore. Mama Qing hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
Mrs. Meng nodded, walked a few steps, and continued: "Mama is free to take care of the little maids around Yan'er, don't be too impetuous, each of them has their own personal creation, let them talk nonsense and affect Yan'er's heart." ”
Qing Mama responded again, but later took Mrs. Meng's words in her heart, and was suddenly shocked, Mrs. was warning her by beating the little maids, don't say some words of envy to affect the third lady? Yes, she is really confused, her father was demoted by the official three levels, but the sister of the concubine is going to fly on the branch to the phoenix, Mrs. is also very strict in governing the family, but still can't stop those flattering flies, the girl's family is easy to think about at a young age, if there is any more maid agitation, it will be terrible.
And the second miss is good at first glance, but according to the rumors about the prince outside, the hard life of the second lady in the future is only afraid that it will be short, those short-sighted subordinates do not know the danger, one by one sharpen their heads to the second lady, but they never thought that in the name of the prince's politeness, a cold will make the second miss almost unable to survive, what can be a good place to go in the palace of the king? It is impossible to go back, and it is impossible for the prince to be young and not marry again, then these people will be sent away from afar, and in order to prohibit these people from expressing nonsense, they will also find a place where you can't say that you can't complain about your grievances.
On that day, before going out, Su Yiqing was at the mercy of the maid, dressed, combed her hair and made up, and worked for half an hour, and took a selfie in the mirror after dressing up. Don't you feel stunned, is the bright woman in the mirror really her?
The clothes are still the same as yesterday's, the face on the mirror is still the same face, the eyebrows and eyes are the same, and I haven't seen much makeup, but how can I say it? It's like changing a face, no, to be precise, the faded calligraphy and painting have been recolored and repaired, and it has become brand new, which makes people look bright, and she is much more beautiful than the original.
After crossing over, she didn't like to look in the mirror, and she glanced at it casually when she was grooming, although she was no stranger to this face, but after carefully retouching, even she didn't feel much different after carefully looking at it, just now she remembered that the maid green vine was slightly smeared with rouge on her cheeks, and a little lipstick was used on her lips, and her eyebrows seemed to be painted a little bit, as if she had just slapped something on her face. The skin looks a little more delicate, but the whole person is very beautiful, and the three-point appearance and seven-point dress are brought to the extreme, and it is not easy to see that it has been carefully painted, but it seems to be born beautiful, with a silver-white and red intertwined satin skirt embroidered with a large delicate peony skirt, and a hairpin that has been inlaid with rubies is inserted between the sideburns, and there is no other conspicuous jewelry to dominate the guests, and the whole person is bright and extraordinary, and the brilliance is dazzling.
Sure enough, even Yufeng's subordinates are innumerable, no matter where the green vine is enough, the ancient makeup is not like the modern one, as long as you can be deceived in front of the camera, ancient women are for the appearance of those who please themselves, and most of the women's makeup is for men, so you can't draw too much, lest it be another face after removing makeup, and the contrast is too strong to backfire.
The cleverness of the green vine is to try to make up for the shortcomings and give full play to the strengths, so that even if the makeup is removed, there is not much difference between the red candle and the original.
As soon as the neatly dressed Su Yiqing appeared in front of Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the sentence "people rely on clothes" is probably to describe this time, put on new clothes, and after dressing up carefully, this concubine who only felt beautiful before actually gave her a completely different feeling, very bright and dignified, and it is the kind of kind that becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it, it is completely different from the first time you met, the head has been lowered, and it is completely different from the restrained look, is it that she was too careless at the beginning, and underestimated this concubine or she is also a person who is good at disguising?
"Sister. Meng Yan gave Su Yiqing a little stiffly, now this sister is already the daughter of the Meng family, in terms of identity is the same as her, in order of age, older than her, sisters naturally want to show weakness when they meet, a little girl in her teens, this sudden change, how many people can not mind at all? Despite the repeated guidance of her mother and the grandmothers around her, she still feels uncomfortable.
Meng Yan certainly felt embarrassed, Su Yiqing also felt unnatural, she never liked to shout sisters to strangers, but the other party was a teenage girl, everyone could take the initiative to show affection, she naturally couldn't keep her face strained, and she could only smile slightly and call, "Hello sister." ”
Greeted each other well, and was relatively speechless, fortunately at this time, Master Meng came out, and saw the two daughters who were as delicate as flowers, especially Meng Xiaofu, who had changed his dress and changed like a person, his eyes couldn't help but light up, from a man's point of view, he, a concubine who usually doesn't look very inconspicuous, actually looks good.
"Fu'er, Yan'er...... Dressed up so beautifully today. "Master Meng is not used to talking to his daughter, and when they meet, they can't find the right words to say.
Su Yiqing bowed her head slightly, and called her father with Meng Yan, and then stopped talking, before Master Meng talked to her several times to promote the relationship between father and daughter, she also coped like this, Master Meng is not like Mrs. Meng, a big man who was born in martial arts, his mouth and kung fu are not so neat, and there is a group of maids and women in front of his own daughter, who can't pretend to be compassionate, and barely squeezes out a few words of concern, she looks like she doesn't talk much, Master Meng himself can't go on, and he finds an excuse to leave.
