207 Towards the small garden flowers bloom
When Mrs. Zhang first sent a telegram deciding to come to Shanghai, Zhang Meixi had already made plans for this, knowing that her mother was here to supervise her marriage. However, she never expected that her mother was more concerned about her love.
Mrs. Zhang is a fashionable figure of the foreign style, and this Zhang Meixi has already known that she has a deeper understanding, and she also knows that the most regrettable thing for Mrs. Zhang is that she has wrapped her little feet.
In the past few years, the mother and daughter have been separated by a distance, relying on telegraphs, and the words on the telegram always have to go through the hands of some stewards, and even the father and grandfather will interrogate, so it is only suitable to talk about the topic of family carnival.
The first time the mother and daughter were alone, Mrs. Zhang expressed a high opinion on love and marriage, which was fashionable and made Zhang Meixi from a hundred years later sigh to herself.
However, Mrs. Zhang is the best mother and is willing to fight for her daughter for what she thinks is the best.
Zhang Meixi knew that Mrs. Zhang was honestly good to her, but it was one thing to know, and obedience was another.
Mrs. Zhang is the most fashionable Shanghai noble lady life. When she woke up at twelve o'clock at noon, two maids carried a small table to her bed, on which bread, milk, side dishes, and jam were served.
Mrs. Zhang wrapped around a gauze napkin, started to eat, and drank the milk. After this noon breakfast, she was completely awake.
Four maids bathed around her, put on makeup, combed her hair, and dressed for two hours before she was dressed neatly, and it was time for afternoon tea.
The afternoon refreshments are generally the small flower hall placed next to the main hall of Uncle Huang's mansion, with a wide floor-to-ceiling glass, and you can see that the courtyard outside is full of flowers.
Mrs. Zhang's head is going to be hairpins, Zhang Meixi smiled and pointed to the flowers in the yard:
"There are so many flowers, Xiao Tao will pick one with me."
A maid next to him hurriedly smiled and said:
"The ones at home that work. I have already shaken the phone to go to the flower shop and ask them to send a basket every day. ”
The flowers in Shanghai in summer are the most fragrant, the first one is jasmine, and then there are tall trees planted on the streets in the courtyard, Jiulixiang, just listening to the name, you can feel that there is a smell coming to your face. Not to mention sniffing with your nose.
The ladies of the Huang family love roses. Roses are planted all over the yard, red, pink, yellow and white, and the branches are stretched. They all laughed and said, "Roses look good when they bring dewdrops." ”
The delicate mist and dew were sprayed out with a slender watering can, but in fact, the morning flower dew was good, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't get up.
The big flower basket from the flower shop was delivered. Xiao Tao picked a bunch of delicate yellow roses, and the three were finely next to each other. Accompany the smile and show it to Mrs. Zhang:
"Madam, this one is good."
Mrs. Zhang leaned over and sniffed it. Frown:
"Not fragrant enough."
Zhang Meixi was sitting there quietly with her mother to fulfill her filial piety, and when she heard this, she had to explain:
"The fragrance of flowers should always be faint, as if there is nothing. Only then does it have a sense of meaning! ”
Mrs. Zhang held a small fan in her hand and swayed:
"You're not right, Miss, you should smell better. A few meters away, the smell is fragrant. Only then did people know that this was the eldest lady coming! ”
Zhang Meixi laughed in surprise:
"My mother is making fun of me!"
"Call me Mommy, call me Mrs.
"Ah, Mrs. is making fun of me!"
Mrs. Zhang stood up, shaking the small fan, her waist twisted, and Jin Lian moved two steps slightly, getting closer to her daughter:
"What's the joke about you, I'm teaching you some skills, well, scientific skills."
Zhang Meixi has always been interested in science, so she had to listen to her mother's explanation:
"You used to be young, but now you are older, you should always learn, boys, always think that the ladies are fragrant, and it is inconvenient to get too close, and it is inconvenient to make a merry move to move your nose, so you have to use some thoughts, spray enough fragrance. There is a taste of Gute, which must be known to people at least two meters away. ”
"Isn't it close when you dance?"
Zhang Meixi pretended to be a studious baby.
"There are always a lot of people in the dance hall, the atmosphere is chaotic, and a little more intense is also suitable for the scene."
Zhang Meixi didn't have anything yet, and the little peach slapped and praised:
"What Mrs. said is very reasonable, I see that those big-name stars, Mrs. Gui, Miss Gui, are all fragrant."
Mrs. Zhang listened to Xiao Tao's flattery and became even more proud:
"If you go out and go to some festive and lively occasions, the fragrance should also be popular, which is a respect for the host and the guests."
"There is some truth in what Mrs. said!"
Zhang Meixi participated in few decent occasions, and she also paid attention to not wearing Yu Sudan's clothes on her clothes, but she was really not interested in jewelry and perfume.
Colorful clothes and entertainment are ancient precepts, since Mrs. Zhang talked about flowers and fragrances one after another, Zhang Meixi had no choice but to wear a string of jasmine.
However, Mrs. Zhang was still not happy, and tilted her neck to look at her earlobe:
"Jewelry earrings should also be worn, it's all science!"
Zhang Meixi cooperated with her deceitful mother, and said in a comical tone in cross talk:
"How is it science to wear earrings and jewelry?"
Mrs. Zhang took a sip of unsweetened coffee and told her at length:
"Because boys can't wear earrings, earrings are an extremely important thing, and if there is any obvious difference and difference between men and women, then this difference is the most attractive. When you see earrings, you will definitely think of women. ”
Zhang Meixi smiled:
"The final attraction of different places, this is a biological study."
Mrs. Zhang laughed:
"That's right, biology, Darwin."
The apricot classmate standing on the side was already full of stars. No wonder the eldest lady's science is so powerful, it turns out that she has a family history, and his wife's science is also so powerful.
Zhang Meixi admits that Mrs. Zhang is right:
"What Mrs. said is right, but I dislike those things that get in the way and jingle and have no practical use!"
Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands:
"You are wrong, for Mrs. Miss, jewelry is the most useful thing, go out to socialize, everyone is full of pearls, ask the family to pay for these things, it is also a big reason to be social. The family's budget had to be left for the ladies and ladies. If something happens in the future, valuable jewelry can be pawned at any time to save the day. ”
Zhang Meixi smiled:
"Mrs. is really amazing, I am so lucky to have such a smart mother!"
It's hard to have such a smart mother. For thousands of years, the struggle between women and men has never stopped, men occupy the main position in society, and the wisdom of women should not be underestimated, and generation after generation has evolved reasons for having wealth for themselves. Jewelry.
