She thought about it for a while, and then whispered to Pan Zi: "Put the green lotus leaf jewelry box on the dressing table." I remember that the clothes that my eldest brother bought yesterday included a white embroidered shirt with small silver folded branches, and an eight-piece cuixia skirt, a water-colored cloak embroidered with white peonies. ”

Pan Zi quickly found out everything, and silently helped Weihuan put on the shirt and skirt, put the shawl and shawl aside, and then went out of the inner room to invite Zhang's mother and others in.

There are four people in total, except for Zhang's mother, all of whom are daughters-in-law in their early twenties. As soon as the three daughters-in-law came in, they were stunned when they saw Wei Wan sitting on the bamboo carving step bed.

The news that the eldest daughter of the house is going to return home has spread all over the house as early as half a year ago, although it is here today, everyone thinks that although this daughter is a daughter, she grew up in the countryside, and her vision and upbringing inevitably bring the rustic atmosphere of the countryside, and she has a contempt in her heart.

Now I see it, the dresses on Wei Wan's body are all new styles in Beijing, the colors are elegant and pretty, there is no rustic and tacky at all, and people are born with snowy skin and flowers, sitting there, although they didn't say a word, they are dignified and steady, and the demeanor of everyone is beautiful, and the contempt in my heart is a little lighter.

Zhang's mother said: "The slave maid saw that there were few people serving the lady, and she was afraid that she would be too busy, so she brought someone here. ”

Wei Wan smiled: "Mother Zhang has a heart." It's hard work to come so early. ”

Zhang's mother and daughters-in-law both said: "It's not hard. ”

But she will be rewarded. Pan Zicheng made a face for Weihuan, and took the big silver coin to reward her daughter-in-law and Zhang's mother.

These daughters-in-law looked at each other when they thanked for the reward, and they all saw a look of approval in the eyes of others.

After thanking the reward, these daughters-in-law served Weiwan with their hands and feet neatly groomed.

Pan Zi noticed that a daughter-in-law poured water into the basin, and the other rolled up Weihuan's sleeves, gave Weihuan's hands, cleaned her hands, and the daughter-in-law who poured the water washed the sewage, changed the water newly, wet the snow-white cloth towel, handed it to Weihuan to wipe her face, and cleaned it three times before it was finished.

A daughter-in-law who had been waiting stepped forward and saluted: "Please sit down, Qiuxiang will serve you to comb your hair." After helping Weihuan to sit in front of the dressing table, he spread a big handkerchief on Weihuan's shoulder, and began to comb Weihuan's hair.

The other three asked Pan Zi to pack their luggage.

The daughter-in-law who combed her hair was in her twenties, with peach blossom eyes at the outer corners of her eyes on her pretty narrow face, and a small nose and mouth. This daughter-in-law who combs her hair and calls herself Qiu Xiang is a talkative woman. When she saw Wei Wan's black hair with a crow-blue color, her eyes were full of love, and when she held the slightly cool, smooth hair that seemed to be uncontrollable, she couldn't help but praise: "The lady's hair is so good." Ordinary people don't have such beautiful hair, only the Ruiying lady in the house can compare. ”

Wei Wan's heart moved, she still didn't know anything about the situation in her aunt's house, so she took the opportunity to inquire, so she said: "Yingrui Lady is the daughter of the house?" ”

Qiu Xiang smiled and said, "The lady just came, and I don't know yet." This Yingrui lady is the eldest daughter of Houfu......"

"The eldest daughter." Zhang's mother kept her hands and eyes, and corrected while directing everyone to clean up.

Qiu Xiang's smile was not so cheerful: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth!" Yingrui Lady is the eldest daughter, looks good, it can be said that it is one in a thousand, and the person is lively and generous, waiting for the master to raise her as a man, specially invited Mr. to teach, now, not only proficient in female red, but also literate and hyphenation, that qin, chess, calligraphy and painting also know some, in the Beijing among these famous ladies are very talented......

Qiu Xiang is the daughter-in-law of Rui Ying's side, and because she combed her hair well, she was assigned by Mrs. Zhuang to serve Wei Huan. She was respectful on her face, but in her heart she was unwilling to do so. She is a noble daughter, but now she has to comb the hair of this country girl in a low voice! The girl who grew up in the countryside must not know how to read, let alone the elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in addition to her background, the others must be no different from them...... It's just a good fate, and I'm just born in my wife's belly.

Pan Zi's face sank slightly beside him. I thought that Huanniang was from the border countryside, but I didn't understand any of this, so I was angry with them, right? was about to mention this autumn fragrance with words, but when she saw Weihuan glaring at her, she had to hold back her breath and pretend not to hear.

Weiwan stabilized Pan Zi, and then asked "There are a few sisters and brothers under Yingrui Niang".

"There are also two younger sisters, one is thirteen years old, named Yiqi, who was born to Aunt Liu. Hou Ye didn't go to Aunt Liu's house once for ten days and a half months. Yiqi Niangzi is quiet and gentle, so she is not very noticeable. ”

Wei Wan obviously felt the contempt in Qiu Xiang's tone when she said the evaluation of Wen Jing and gentleness. A master who has been growing up in the house, just because his biological mother is not powerful, and he is not valued by his father and mother-in-law, he is despised by his subordinates.

“…… The youngest is Hanxiao Niangzi, Hanxiao Niangzi is only nine years old this year, and like Ruiying Niangzi, she was born to our Aunt Xue. This Hanxiao lady has been raised by Mrs. since she was born, and Mrs. treats her as a treasure......"

From this point of view, Hou Ye's favorite daughter is Rui Ying, and Mrs. Hanxiao's favorite is Han Xiao, and Yiqi in the middle has been snubbed, no wonder a subordinate dares to despise her.

“…… Hou Ye and his wife only got one son, that is, the ten-year-old prince Duan Gongzi this year......"

Wei Wan said: "Rui Ying's lady was born in August? Hanxiao was born in June, right? ”

Qiu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "How did the lady guess?" Wasn't that what I was born at that time? ”

Wei Wan smiled faintly and said: "The cold flowers have bloomed, and the chrysanthemum is the only branch, isn't it the origin of the name of the lady Ruiying." Hanlian's new flowers bloom together, with heavy makeup and a beautiful smile, this is the origin of Hanxiao's lady's name. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Xiang was stunned, and said with a smile for a while: "...... It turns out that the lady can also make poems! There was no longer any contempt and pretension in the tone that had been deliberately hidden just now.

Pan Zi secretly threw a roll of his eyes at her. Tell you to play tricks on your own master! Look at how dare you look down on Huanniang! I thought that it was Wan Niang who was clever, and slapped this cheap maid in the face quietly,

Wei Wan asked some sisters and Duan Gongzi what they usually liked. Qiu Xiang answered one by one, quickly finished combing her hair, and said in a slightly smug tone: "Lady, take a look, are you still satisfied?" ”

Wei Wan looked carefully at the bronze mirror and couldn't help but admire Qiu Xiang's craftsmanship. is also a tuxedo, combed by her is high, stiff and full, even Pan Zi shouted that it is good, to learn from Qiu Xiang, so as to "comb the lady in the future".

Qiu Xiang herself was also satisfied, and said with a smile: "It's better to wear some jewelry." ”

The peach blossom eyes swept the plain silver lotus hairpin on the table, and there was a little disdain in his eyes.

When Pan Zi saw it, he picked up the plain silver lotus hairpin and said with a smile: "I can't find it, it turns out to be here." As he spoke, he put the hairpin on his head, and pretended to open the lotus leaf makeup box inadvertently

This jewelry box is exquisitely designed, when closed, it is a closed lotus leaf, and when it is opened, it is a whole lotus leaf. With the various colors of jewelry in the box, it looks like a green lotus leaf holding all kinds of fresh and clear fruits, shining purple and red, shining directly into people's eyes.

When Qiu Xiang saw it, her eyes immediately straightened, and she couldn't close her mouth anymore when she opened her mouth wide.

Even Zhang's mother's expression changed, she didn't expect that Houfu, the legendary daughter who had been living in the poor countryside of the frontier for many years, was not poor, but was also raised with a noble baby.

Wei Wan watched the change in the expressions of the maidservants, and couldn't help but smile in her heart. I believe that with their return home, what they have seen and heard here this morning will surely spread throughout the province. Her initial scene finally lost her dignity.

Qiu Xiang carefully looked through the jewelry in the jewelry box and praised it. She carefully selected a pomegranate stone flower with golden silk for Weihuan to wear on her sideburns, and took a tired tourmaline of the same color and put it on her bun; There was no applique on the forehead, but a frontal chain was hung, and the red tourmaline pendant in the center of the chain was embedded in a small fan; He wore filigree crescent-shaped gold earrings on his ears, and had small drop-shaped tassels with garnet moonstones interspersed with pendants, which matched the pendant on his forehead. When he walked slightly, the tassels that shook and the pendants on his ears shook slightly, swaying out a piece of treasure light.

Everyone watched Wei Wan Tingting standing on the ground, and they only felt beautiful in their hearts, but they felt that words couldn't say that beauty, so they were just stunned.

For a long time, Qiu Xiang, who was still fast-talking, was the first to react. She clapped her hands and said, "Oh, Madame is going to welcome the lady back to the house for breakfast." We just watch here, but we are full of beautiful food, but the lady is still hungry! ”

Only then did everyone react, laughing and saying, "It's not." It's time to clean up, please get in the car. The car was already waiting in the yard. ”
