88 Chapter 88
Because of today's banquet, so Chonglan got up very early, sat in front of the dresser and began to prepare, with a half-biased fallen horse bun on his head, with a golden hairpin with a silk Buddha's hand flower basket, the red treasure hanging down the hairpin loomed, and then used rose crystals and begonias to trim the wings of the jade luan to tie the long hair, and the hair was dotted with pale silver foil beads.
Qingge frowned and looked at the moire crepe smock smock and snow-soaked sand skirt that she brought her: "Madame is wearing this today?" ”
Chong Lanping stretched out her hands and asked her to help her change them, while saying: "We are going to be guests, and it is inevitable that we will steal the limelight of the host's house by dressing up so gorgeously, and the dress is too plain and too contemptuous, this body is just right." ”
After she finished speaking, she straightened out her hand and stretched out the bluegrass pattern shirt that had been changed, and the voice over there came faintly: "It's just a guest, and only you are so particular." ”
Chonglan saw that he was dressed in azure silk, embroidered with gold and silver threads, and tied with a brocade crown, and cleaned up in three or two clicks, neat and exquisite, couldn't help but look at him jealously, and said enviously: "It's better for you men to dress up quickly, and you can get it right by dividing five by two." ”
She helped the golden hairpin on her sideburns again: "I'm quite fast today, it turns out that when I participate in a banquet, sometimes I can't dress well for an hour or two." ”
As he spoke, the two of them had already dressed up, and he pulled her out and glanced at her: "Is it so important to dress up and makeup?" ”
Chonglan nodded vigorously: "That's nature." She said proudly: "When I was just doing business, there was an official's wife who wanted to make a batch of jewelry, and several companies were competing for this business, and one of them had a financial reputation that surpassed me by a few points, but in the end, the official's wife still gave me the list, do you know why?" ”
Yan He raised his eyebrows and put on a posture of listening to his ears.
The corners of her eyebrows and eyes provoked a little smugness: "Although the boss of the company I am fighting for is better than me in terms of financial strength and prestige, it is a pity that he is ugly, so as soon as the official's wife saw me, she immediately decided to do business for me." ”
She said and patted Yan He's hand: "People who are good-looking will take advantage of them anywhere, especially when they first meet and are not familiar." ”
Yan He looked at her with a smile: "Then what did you think of at first sight when you saw me?" ”
Chonglan thought for a while and said, "Your life is too good, and you are young and talented, it must be difficult to get along with." ”
He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but the two of them had already walked to He Mansion, and He Lao and Princess Cheng'an greeted him with He Changle, and said with a smile: "It's so early in the Jin year." ”
Yan He smiled lightly: "Master He has an appointment, so naturally he doesn't dare to be contemptuous." ”
Princess Cheng'an smiled and said a few words, and then fell on Chonglan, and a little surprise appeared in her eyes: "I have long heard that the newly married lady of Jinnian is a beauty, I didn't look carefully last time, but I saw it today, it is true, it looks like a person who came out of the painting." ”
She admired and admired, but her heart was a little pantothenic, she felt that her daughter and Yan He had a lot to do, but she didn't expect to be cheaper for such a merchant girl, thinking about it is really a trick.
Chong Lanfu saluted and said softly: "The princess is praised, where can I afford it." Although she doesn't like Princess Cheng'an's snobbery, there is no need to offend.
She glanced at He Changle again, and praised He Changle several times as much as Fang Cai's praise, and smiled at Princess Cheng'an's praise, and the mustard in her heart disappeared a lot.
However, He Changle was a little absent-minded, and waited for someone outside to report: "The eldest son of the heavy family is here." She was refreshed, straightened her back and looked out, Chonglan took in the scene, and her heart suddenly brightened.
After Chongyan came in, he first said a few words to He Lao Yanhe, and then he and Yan He were led to the male guest seat by He Lao, and there were many female dependents left in the main hall, and Chonglan found a place to sit down and drink tea at random.
He Changle's gaze lingered on the place where Chonglan left for a moment, and then sat beside Chonglan inadvertently with his skirt in his hand, and said with a grin: "Hello Mrs. Yan." ”
Chonglan bowed: "Hello Miss He." ”
He Changle blinked: "Young Mrs. Yan called me Changle, and it was a matter of time for the girl to come and go." ”
Chonglan smiled: "Miss Changle, I have one Lan." ”
He Changle immediately climbed down the pole: "Sister Lan." Then he asked, "Didn't Sister Lan come to the courtyard with Governor Yan to rest for a few days, why did your eldest brother come over too?" ”
She asked directly, and she didn't fake it at all. Chonglan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's just a coincidence, something happened to the house in the city, so the eldest brother also came to live in the courtyard for a few days, but he didn't expect to be neighbors with us." ”
He Changle gently scratched his chin with his fingers, it is always rude for ordinary women to do this action, but she has a different taste when she does it. She tilted her head and asked, "How is the eldest brother of the heavy family?" Has he always been so indifferent and silent? ”
I didn't expect everyone to be so bold in the show, Chonglan thought that she had to cover up at least one or two, but she didn't expect her to be so invisible, this is a big brother of the heavy family.
She was stunned again, and paused for a while before she spoke: "He is the eldest brother, and the second brother and I are both lively and laughing, the eldest brother is like a father, if he can't hold it and laugh with us to the same time, then the second brother and I will be even more lawless." ”
He Changle didn't know what to think of, put on a solemn posture with his face, and was about to speak, when he heard a girl's laughter coming in from outside the threshold, and a girl in plain clothes walked in surrounded by everyone.
The girl's droplet-shaped earrings in her ears couldn't help shaking, wearing an ivory-white dark striped long gown, and the few inches of skirt exposed under it were also snow-spulling, and the pointed shoes inlaid with Nanzhu were faintly revealed under the long skirt, trembling slightly with her smoky steps.
This girl has a beautiful appearance, there are a few freckles on her cheeks, and the color is only medium and upper, but the elegant and elegant bookish atmosphere of the body attracts people's attention, and there is an indescribable sense of high and lonely between the eyebrows.
It's just that I wear white at a banquet and run out, and I always feel a little... Weird. Although Chonglan also wore a snow gauze skirt, the clothes and jewelry on the upper body were carefully selected, which concealed the simplicity of the lower gauze skirt, and would never offend the master's family.
Chonglan subconsciously went to see the county lord of Cheng'an, and saw that she was also a little unhappy on her face, but it was difficult to say anything because of the face of the guests, just to greet the girl's elders.
This girl seems to be quite popular among the nobles, but she doesn't talk much lightly, and she has the appearance of a starry moon standing there.
Chonglan quietly covered her skirt, it would be embarrassing enough to hit her shirt, and it would be even more embarrassing if someone found out again. Unexpectedly, it backfired, and the girl turned her gaze and looked straight at her.
Chonglan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied with a friendly smile, but she didn't expect that the girl just frowned coldly, and turned her head to talk to the girl around her.
Chonglan was sure that she had never seen this girl, but looking at this appearance, she seemed to know herself, she couldn't think about it, and she couldn't help but choke in her heart, if only He was here now, with her gossip skills, she must know the identity of this girl.
Fortunately, He Changle next to him was also a chatter, and after pursing his lips disdainfully, he began to gossip: "Does Sister Lan know who she is?" ”
Chonglan listened attentively: "I really haven't seen this girl yet. ”
He Changle caught a melon seed and knocked it: "She is the eldest daughter of the Rongchang Boliu family, a single word and a Yuan, although her status is not high, but she is good at writing and writing Danqing, good at reciting poetry, and every time no matter what banquet is placed, there are a bunch of people around her." ”
Chonglan's heart moved: "Is it the Liu girl from my mother-in-law's grandmother's family?" ”
He Changle wiped the skin of the melon seeds on the side of his mouth with a silk: "Exactly, Sister Lan doesn't know?" He frowned and waved the silk in front of his eyes, as if he wanted to drive something away, and whispered: "I thought she would definitely not come over for a banquet in the other courtyard this time, why did she still come." ”
Chonglan thought of what Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Liu said a few days ago, and she had some confidence in her heart, and changed her words with a smile: "It's about to be a banquet, Miss Changle won't help the princess?" ”
He Changle slapped his head, and then chased Princess Cheng'an in a hurry, Chonglan got up and walked to the water pavilion where the banquet was held, but he didn't expect that Liu Yuan would come up and walk out side by side with her.
At this time, everyone found that the two were wearing the same dress, looked at each other for a while, and some covered their mouths and whispered.
Liu Yuan's face was still faint, but there was a little embarrassment in his eyes, it was not a big deal if his clothes hit, but others were better looking at him in the same clothes, which made people very unhappy.
Chonglan already had a gorgeous complexion, and her elegant and elegant body was also worn by her to wear a beautiful complexion, lining Liu Yuan, who was standing again, more and more dull, she pursed her lips, and couldn't help but scold in her heart.
Chonglan lifted the hem of her skirt, took Qingge Qingyun back a few steps, and smiled at Liu Yuan: "The road is narrow, and it is inevitable that you will bump into it when you walk one, so let's ask the girl first." ”
Liu Yuan sighed, although she was extremely reluctant, but she was still polite: "You're polite." ”
Chonglan was a few steps behind her, and several girls who were originally following Liu Yuan looked over curiously, and some of them had the courage to ask: "I see that Madame has an excellent bearing, but her face is tight, dare to ask Madame your surname?" ”
This surname naturally asked her husband's surname, and Chonglan smiled: "My husband's surname is Yan." ”
Yan He's hard work in Jinling City in order to marry Chonglan is obvious to all, and after the two got married, Chonglan was named the second lady, although she is not very old, her identity is the most valuable among these ladies.
Several girls next to her were envious, and they saw that she was beautiful, gentle, and polite, not inferior to the ladies of wealthy families, and she was not inferior to the ladies of wealthy families.
Liu Yuan walked in front, seeing that the people who were originally flattering her were all following Chonglan's side, especially the mouthful of 'Young Lady Yan' was particularly harsh, she bit her lower lip, and suddenly raised her voice: "The lady was newly married and was given the title of second-grade edict, I think Mrs. must have both ability and political integrity, and her knowledge and moral character are excellent, I don't know if I can ask Mrs. for advice or two?" ”
