97 Chapter 97
Chonglan was stunned, stood up with one hand and asked, "I remember that this year's autumn clothes have already been distributed, why are they sent again?" ”
Qi Guofu's example, like the master of their generation, four new clothes, socks, shoes and hats every season, and jewelry and head every season, she has ordered someone to receive the clothes distributed in autumn, but the cutting material is really not good, and after taking it back, she pressed the bottom of the box, and she didn't even wear it once.
Chonglan didn't even take a fancy to those who had a hard life, not to mention Yan He, the kind of person who was meticulous and exquisite, and threw it aside without even looking at it.
Qingge heard that she was awake, so she smiled outside: "The old lady passed down the word, saying that the day after tomorrow is the uncle's marriage, and let us dress up brighter, so I sent a few embroidery girls and sent a lot of hairpin ring materials down." ”
She paused, and said with a smile: "Young lady, come out quickly, Aunt Zhang is waiting here to measure the young master and you." ”
Chonglan hurriedly changed her clothes and got up, and saw that there was an embroidery girl waiting outside with a tape measure, she opened the door and was about to invite someone in, but suddenly made a petty mistake again, frowned and said: "Isn't the housekeeper lady in the house not your size?" Isn't it necessary to touch you when I measure it..."
She deliberately dragged out her speech, Yan He was thorough at a point, and said indifferently very familiarly: "My body can only be touched by a lady." ”
Chonglan nodded with satisfaction, but her mouth was still unforgiving: "Since you have said so, let's be a husband and wife, although I am impatient with this delicate work, I can only reluctantly help you measure it." ”
As she spoke, she squinted at him, with an expression that you really have a lot to do.
Yan He: "......"
She walked out and smiled at Aunt Zhang: "Young master, he doesn't like to let people get close, so I bother my aunt to give me the tape measure, and I will measure it and report it to you." ”
Aunt Zhang is a person who has come over, and when she saw the appearance of the two of them mixing oil in honey, she knew what to do, and hurriedly handed over the tape measure in her hand: "I'm tired of the young lady." ”
Measuring size is to measure shoulder width, waist circumference, and length. Chonglan was doing this work for the first time, and was thinking about how to use the tape measure, when he raised his eyes and saw Yan He sitting steadily in the same place, he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know what your size is?" "If I knew her, I wouldn't have to bother.
Yan He knocked on the ebony table for a while, and suddenly his expression became strange: "What is my size, shouldn't the lady know best?" ”
Chonglan didn't come back to her senses, and said in a daze: "How can I know what your size is?" I haven't measured it..."Although I didn't hug him less when I was in one place at night, she was not an embroiderer, and she knew the approximate size when she compared her hands.
Yan He got up and sighed: "After so many times, the lady still doesn't know that it is a dereliction of duty for her husband." ”
He grabbed her hand and brought it down: "You should measure the size of your husband today." ”
Chonglan touched the place, shook off his hand as if it was burned, and glared at him with a red face: "What do you think, who asked you the size of that place?!" I'm talking about the size of your body! ”
Yan He glanced at her: "Isn't it there?" ”
Chonglan was sure that he was retaliating, so he simply ignored him, viciously wrapped his waist around his waist with a tape measure, and measured the width of his shoulders in the same way, and finally did not forget to be teased by him in his ear with a pun: "Is the lady still satisfied with my size?" ”
Chonglan tried her best to strain her face and sneered: "I'm not satisfied, so you're embarrassed to take it out and ask!" ”
When ordinary men heard this, nine out of ten would be angry, Yan He narrowed his eyes, raised his lips and smiled: "It seems that it was not the lady who shouted 'too big' a few days ago." ”
He saw Chonglan's face flushed, and continued leisurely: "Since the lady is still not satisfied with my size, then let's try a few more times until you are satisfied." ”
Chonglan couldn't look directly at the word 'size', so she hid her face and took the tape measure out, and gave the number to Aunt Zhang, who covered her mouth and snickered.
Qingge also glanced at Chonglan with a little ridicule, and replied: "Young master, young lady, the old lady also sent materials and moon silver over there, do you want to go over and take a look now?" ”
Chonglan nodded, turned her head and glared at Yan He, before getting up with him and going to the main hall.
It turned out to be Mama Wei who came to distribute the materials in the main hall, and when she saw this person, she had some bad premonitions in her heart.
She walked over and took a look, and saw several wooden boxes on the round bench, and there were more than a dozen pieces of cloth in the wooden boxes, ranging from the Hangzhou silk brocade that Yan He wanted to wear to the fine silk of the subordinates, but there was no material suitable for the young lady Chonglan to wear.
She didn't speak, just looked at Mama Wei quietly, Mama Wei really lived up to her expectations, she couldn't stand it, and saluted: "The young lady is angry, the old lady has spoken, the best materials should be given by the elders first, the eldest lady on the head, the third lady, the fifth lady, the sixth lady, and the first lady will be gone to you, we will not be able to take the number of people to you to fill up, we can only wronged you first." ”
If you don't prepare all the things, you shouldn't have brought these over at all, the clothes of the male owner and the subordinate are all ready, and she is the only one missing, isn't this a clear slap in the face? Mrs. Yan has been a family for so many years, how could she make such a mistake?
Chonglan was disgusted and sighed in her heart, but it was a pity that Aunt Yan wanted to persuade her to reconcile, but Mrs. Yan was still so virtuous. She thought of Mrs. Liu, who came to the door today, and she also had her share in this bad idea.
Yan He's gaze swept over her indifferently: "You take everything back, you don't have to come to this courtyard in the future, otherwise you will be decent in the house for many years..."
Mama Wei's heart was pounding, knowing that he was really angry.
She was about to distinguish when she saw Chonglan gently pressing on the back of Yan He's hand, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with such a big fire, Mama Wei is an old man in our family, and she is more decent than ordinary young masters, and it shouldn't be you who wants to be trained." Besides, what Mama said is right, don't you have to follow the elders first? It's nothing for us to be juniors. ”
Mama Wei didn't dare to offend people ruthlessly, and hurriedly said: "It's just that it's gone for a while, and I'll send it to Mrs. as soon as I add a new one." “
She said with a smile: "Since grandmother is so concerned about our juniors, we should naturally honor her old man as juniors." ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qingge, and Qingge immediately understood after receiving her eyes, turned around and ordered someone to take out a few fine Shu brocades from the house, and the quality just pressed the one sent by Mama Wei.
Chonglan said lightly: "It just so happens that I still have a few Shu brocades here, since there is such a shortage of clothes in the house, then give it all to my grandmother, which can be regarded as our dedication to being a junior." ”
She took out two purple bat pomegranate pattern brocade: "I heard that the uncle and grandmother of the Liu family are here, it is really a coincidence, these two bat pomegranate pattern Shu brocade means many sons and many blessings, the most auspicious, but one of them also bothered Mama Wei to help me hand it over to the uncle and grandmother of the Liu family." ”
Qi Guofu has had a bad fate in the past few years, and the blessings have long been scattered, and the Liu family is even more unbearable, Mrs. Liu is a son, or a sick seedling who can't walk a few steps, and has nothing to do with many sons and many blessings.
Mama Wei seemed to have been slapped in the face, her face turned blue and white, and she was extremely embarrassed, but what Lan said was filial piety to her elders, and she couldn't help but accept it.
Chonglan saw that her face was not good, and added with a smile: "By the way, I have to bother my grandmother to tell my grandmother that my granddaughter-in-law is not short of a few horses here, and my grandmother will keep it for rewarding the juniors." ”
Mama Wei's face was about to be swollen by this invisible slap, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she bowed down in a proper manner, took out the monthly silver and gave it to her with both hands: "This is your monthly example this month, do you want to make a scale to test?" ”
The young lady's monthly silver is twenty taels, Chonglan asked Qingge to take the silver, didn't even look at it, and said indifferently: "No need." ”
She turned her head and instructed Qingge: "A few ladies and stewards have come here for a hard time, you can add another ten taels, twist it and divide it for you." ”
It means that the monthly silver given by the government is not enough for her to reward her subordinates? Mama Wei didn't expect her to be so faceless, a solemn old face almost changed color, and she lowered her head and said, "Madame, I'm afraid it's not good to be like this." ”
Chonglan held her chin with one hand and asked with a smile, "Why do I have to report to Mama Wei for spending money?" ”
Mama Wei didn't dare to say anything again, and the few ladies who received the silver outside were all overjoyed, not that they hadn't seen the money, but it was really rare for such a generous master to make such a generous move, and they were all very grateful for their kindness, and they served more than usual by ten points.
Mama Wei went back to her life with a gloomy face, Mrs. Yan was sluggish, and she didn't react yet, Mrs. Liu saw her coming over with two Shu brocades, and thought that Chonglan was soft, and was about to turn her head to talk to Mrs. Yan with a smile, but she couldn't see the lines on her head, and she almost dropped the tea cup in her hand in anger.
Chonglan casually flipped through the pieces of fabric, and sneered: "It's such a material, my mother's rough maid doesn't wear it, and I'm embarrassed to take it and distribute it." ”
Yan He listened to her nouveau riche tone, and slowly took a sip of tea before saying, "Isn't it distressing to spend thirty taels of silver in vain?" ”
"I'm happy that it's hard to buy a thousand dollars." Chonglan snorted coldly: "If you dare to take me thirty taels, you must have the consciousness to give me back three hundred taels!" ”
This tone is more like an upstart, Yan He used a tea bowl to block the corners of his mouth that slowly raised.
Chonglan thought about it, the new clothes still had to be made, and Chonglan directly instructed Liuying to send a message to the ready-to-wear shop under her name to make a few sets of fashionable styles of clothes and send them over.
Chonglan thought that after this matter, Mrs. Yan was going to find her stubble again, but she didn't expect that not only did she not come to look for trouble, but instead made up two good materials to come over, and specially sent Mama Feng, who was good friends with her, to explain, saying that the subordinates had confused Yunyun.
She was puzzled, but she still asked He Shi before she was overwhelmed by a word: "Grandmother has always been this kind of character, and it is disrespectful to say a word, but anyone she doesn't like, no matter how good she is to her, she will not be welcome, if you are tougher, she will be timid." ”
She also took Yan He as an example: "Look at the eldest brother, he has always been a cold face to his grandmother, and his grandmother is no more kind to him than anyone else." ”
Chonglan thought of Yan He, and she couldn't cry or laugh a little, isn't this bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?
In the past few days, the Qi Mansion has obviously been in turmoil, although the Qi Dynasty does not prohibit male wives from remarrying after death, but there are very few second marriages that are so extravagant, I heard the old people in the house say that when Yan Sansi married the second lady, it was not so grand.
Chonglan was afraid that Yan He would not be happy, so he deliberately went to the study to accompany him at night, but he didn't expect to be pulled by him like this and that, and his face was red when he came out.
Old Madam Yan seems to really attach importance to Yan Sansi's marriage, although she never ignores the unreasonable requests made by the Pingle County Palace, but she still goes into battle in person and leads people to patrol every day, which makes the family a lot more orderly.
After three or five days of being so busy, it was finally the day to welcome the family, although Lao Tzu's marriage had nothing to do with his son, Chonglan promised Aunt Yan to go early, so he got up early in the morning to prepare.
As soon as Yan He came back from sword practice, he saw her get up, raised his eyebrows and said, "You got up early today?" ”
Chonglan was carefully rubbing his teeth with a toothbrush dipped in toothpaste, and said vaguely: "Today, my aunt said that she would take me to meet people, and specially told me to go over earlier." ”
In a blink of an eye, she saw Yan He wearing light and close-fitting clothes, and some beads of sweat fell on Ruyu's face and neck, and slid along the slightly open placket... Half-covered and half-exposed is more sultry than taking it off completely, and it's common to see him wearing a wide and elegant one, and it's really a bit like wearing such a close-fitting cold... Coveted.
Chonglan looked at it but blushed, and looked at him coldly, she turned her back to him in annoyance: "Who is wearing such a seductive outfit!" ”
He wiped his body clean, changed into a royal blue dark silver moire tuanhua brocade robe, and his head was full of green silk and wrapped in mutton fat hostas, which made him look more and more beautiful. he
Slowly approached, put a hand on her shoulder, and gently and skillfully turned her around: "It's okay for others to see it, but you see it and feel hooked, people often say that you can see what you want in your heart, didn't you last night..."
Chonglan was putting on makeup, and when she heard this, she turned around and pinched his mouth, gritting her teeth and saying, "Nothing happened last night." ”
He chuckled: "Sure enough, I didn't see enough last night, when the lady wants to see it, just say it, anyway, you have hugged and hugged my whole person, just look at what it is." ”
After he finished speaking, he thought about it again, and said with a smile: "Of course, my husband knows, my lady likes to see me without clothes the most." ”
Chonglan glanced at him, thinking of the other day when he pulled her hand... Her face was red without grease and powder.
The beauty is very angry, she can use rouge to finish the lips, the red lip flap seems more and more intense, he leaned over and bit it lightly, and felt dissatisfied, the tip of the tongue is depicted in a simple way, and finally tastes the delicate blue tongue.
Chonglan gasped a few times and pushed him away, looked at his lips that had been spent in the mirror, and said angrily: "Really, you still came to provoke me even though you knew that you couldn't delay time, and now you have to put on makeup again, Yan and you didn't mean it." ”
"What's so difficult about this, I'll draw it for you." He took a small white jade bowl on the table, which contained a beautiful flower slave, he looked down, frowned slightly, and said, "The color is too bright." He took another box of purple jasmine and nodded reluctantly: "This box is okay." ”
Chonglan looked at the box of rouge that he took and put down, and said suspiciously: "Do you put on makeup?" ”
He smiled slightly: "Why don't you try?" ”
She looked sideways to see that it was still early, so she half-closed her eyes and tossed by him, he opened her jewelry box, and his thin white fingers swept over a hairpin, and finally selected a suitable root, and dipped the purple jasmine in her hand with the hairpin, and depicted it on her beautiful lips.
Her lips are very good, richer than ordinary women, but the shape is very small, with a little lip beads in it, and the lip flap is slightly pursed, and when she closes her eyes, she seems to be waiting for someone to kiss her.
He resisted the urge to kiss up, and slowly helped her delineate it, and when she opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, he was surprised: "You really know this." ”
He glanced at her: "It's just that I usually see you wearing makeup." ”
He suddenly leaned over and put his hand around her waist: "Do you know what I was thinking when I first met you?" ”
Chonglan turned her head to look at him and asked curiously, "What?" ”
He rubbed his fingers along her lips slowly, "What does it feel like to kiss you?" Then I knew..."He slowly stroked his lips with his hand and smiled slightly, "It's so sweet that it makes people flutter." ”
Chonglan snorted: "I can already see that you are not well-intentioned." ”
He said casually: "I have always had only good intentions towards you. ”
Chonglan snatched Zi Jasmine from his hand and smacked him, "What kind can you have!" ”
He blinked, his long eyelashes trembling slightly: "I gave myself to you, isn't it kind?" ”
He used to blush when he talked about love, but now he is at his fingertips, his face is not red and he is not panting, so she is at a disadvantage most of the time.
Chonglan looked at his cheekiness steadily, thinking about his sad journey from the upper wind to the lower wind, stuffed the rouge box into his hand, and sighed dejectedly: "That's it, I can't talk about you left and right, go on." ”
Yan He snorted, used clean water to dissolve the rouge, and slapped a thin layer on her face, her color was excellent, but the powder seemed deliberate, and the shallow layer of rouge showed a good complexion.
Chonglan looked at the target with satisfaction, and said with disgust: "You are a big man, what do you do all the time?" ”
Yan He saw her long eyebrows frowning slightly, and couldn't help but kiss her slender eyebrows, took Luo Zidai to give her a thrush, and said with a smile: "In the boudoir, don't let me tinker with these, what do you want me to tinker with?" ”
He thought about it seriously and said, "But then again, we still haven't tried a lot of our books, since you don't want me to help you paint your eyebrows and makeup, let's go back..."
Chonglan immediately interrupted him and said, "You can't use one mind for two purposes, you better concentrate on the joy of thrush." ”
Yan He snorted and made fun of her silently.
Chonglan pretended not to see it, and seeing that the makeup was almost ready, she was about to put on her coat when she got up, but was held down by Yan He: "You wait." ”
He took a soft pen, lightly dipped a little rouge, and sketched it on the left and right strokes of her eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, a vermilion lotus flower slowly floated out at the center of her eyebrows. Gently stick it to the heart.
Chonglan looked left and right, and said with a smile: "I remember that you also helped me draw this in He Mansion at the beginning, but today's one is much more exquisite than that day." ”
Yan He sighed: "That's just coaxing a child, how can it be compared with this?" ”
Chonglan hesitated: "This is too public, let's wipe it." ”
Yan He lightly pressed the back of her hand: "What's there to show off, it's just a Huadian, you are too careful." ”
Qingge held a rose red and dark flower gold silk brocade gown at this time, and helped her cover her with a plain white cardigan embroidered with gold and dark patterns, and said with a smile: "This flower drawn by the girl is no longer suitable for this body." ”
Chonglan waved his hand: "What are you talking about?" She helped Yan He straighten his front again, and the two went out together.
As soon as she arrived at the main hall of the second courtyard, Aunt Yan greeted her, and saw that Chonglan was rarely wearing a bright color, and the oblique red of her eyebrows made her look very good. He deliberately smiled and asked, "Who drew this for you, such good brushwork?" ”
Chonglan said embarrassedly: "Fang is in the house, Jin Nian has to pull me..."
Aunt Yan quipped: "You don't pick a time for the pleasure of the boudoir, but I have waited for a long time in vain." ”
Chonglan blushed and changed her head: "I wanted to dress up plainly, but I didn't expect to wear it with a big red fan." ”
Aunt Yan pulled her inside: "You are still young, it is the time to dress brightly, what to do when you are dressed so plainly, you don't have to live up to your good looks." Besides, this is a wedding feast, so it's just right to dress up brightly. ”
She said while introducing Chonglan to her good wife, usually this kind of thing is directed by her mother-in-law, but Chonglan's own mother-in-law died early, her stepmother-in-law has not yet married, and her mother-in-law and grandmother can't count on it, but fortunately, Aunt Yan helps her.
The so-called world friendship is such a generation of mutual exchanges, slowly passed down, and by the time the children and grandchildren come, it has become a huge network of people, no wonder the development of the children of the family is always much better than that of ordinary ordinary people.
Chonglan responded decently, while thinking about letting Chongyan also participate in this kind of banquet and gathering, Aunt Yan next to her whispered in her ear: "The one over there is Zhang Donglan, the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion, he was originally a concubine, and later was invited by Empress Zhang to become a concubine, because of his ability to do things, he was promoted to the general manager, and he just came to Jinling to do business, and he came to congratulate him when he heard the good news of our house." ”
Although they are both public mansions, but the Zhenguo Mansion and the Qi Mansion are simply different from each other, Chonglan subconsciously looked over and saw a tall young man standing there. What surprised her was that this young man was six or seven points similar to the emperor, just as handsome and beautiful.
Aunt Yan pouted again: "The girl standing next to him is the girl from the side branch of Hefu, and she has only passed the door for a short time." After she finished speaking, she sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the prince and Princess Changping didn't come." ”
Zhang Donglan saw Yan He, her eyes lit up slightly, and she seemed to want to come over to speak, but at this time, Mrs. Yan, who was sitting in the hall, suddenly inserted a pole diagonally, and pulled his wife to speak with a smile on her face, which was quite flattering.
As she spoke, she took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it over, and Aunt Yan had a headache and said, "Why doesn't this have a day of worry?" ”
Mrs. Zhang's face was already full of embarrassment, and Aunt Yan walked over and hugged Mrs. Yan: "Mother, aren't you still tired just now?" Let's just rest. ”
Chonglan followed behind crying and laughing, and also helped to pick up the old lady, Mrs. Zhang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked her: "There is Young Mrs. Lao Yan." ”
