Chapter 58: The Chen Family
86_86882 got the thing he liked, Dou Miaojing came to Mrs. Yuanda like a treasure, and asked Mrs. Yuanda to boast about herself.
Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to praise her, and she happily went back to the sedan chair and sat down.
Dou Miaoqin asked Yingxiang to ask her where she wanted to go next.
Although it was three people who came out to shop, it seemed that Mrs. Yuan and Dou Miaoqin were accompanying her to accommodate her.
Dou Miaojing remembered Mrs. Zhou's instructions, and saw that Xiangmanju was nearby, so she asked Yingxiang to go back like this.
The three soft sedan chairs were transferred to Xiangmanju in order.
The sedan chair settled, and the moment Shaoyue lifted the sedan curtain, the light fragrance was like a butterfly, flying on the tip of Dou Miaojing's nose.
She took a deep breath.
Xiangmanju is like this in the vicinity, before seeing its store, smell its fragrance first, and it is not repeated every day. In addition, its incense has a long-lasting taste but is not strong, and it is especially good at making various medicinal fragrances for health preservation and evil spirits. It is said that the prescription of the medicine incense comes from the Tai Hospital. Therefore, it is the top brand of the incense shop in Lin'an City.
Because it was specially ordered by Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Yuan also got off the sedan chair and entered the store with the two sisters to choose.
Xiangman Curie hired all very clever young women, all of them are delicate and clean, and they are sweet and glutinous, like unmarried girls.
These are all women whose families are in financial shortages and have to come out to work to support their families.
Mrs. Yuan Da took pity on these people. If she hadn't married into the Dou family, with her identity as the daughter of a doctor's family, even if she married a scholar, she would probably have a thin background, and she might not have fallen into this situation.
She didn't want to make things difficult for others, so she directly explained what she needed and how much she needed.
When the young woman who was entertaining the guests heard this, she smiled heartily: "It's really a coincidence, the eldest lady of the Chen family in the private room also wants to take her family on a trip, and she has ordered dozens of sachets to ward off evil spirits in one go." β
"The Chen family? Which Chen family? Mrs. Yuan asked kindly.
The young woman said: "The Chen family of the Emperor Master Gate of Hutong Street, which Chen family in our Lin'an has such a style!" β
Dou Miaojing's breathing was difficult.
Emperor Shimen, Champion Chen, Ten Jinshi, Sun Zisheng.
This three-character nursery rhyme, which even a three-year-old child can sing, is about Chen Yu's family.
The Chen family has produced ten jinshi since their ancestors, and they have been young from generation to generation. The current head of the family, Mrs. Chen, is eighty-eight years old, he is the first year of Gaozu's role model, and he entered the crown prince's attendant until Gaozu died to assist the prince to ascend the throne.
As for the champion Chen, it is Chen Yu's father - Ding Mao Nian and the first, the champion Lang who can count the three yuan in a row.
Even if Dou Miaojing dies again, he will never forget the cold and false smile on the face of this champion Chen.
She couldn't help but tremble, as if the air was filled with the smell of Chen Yu. She felt that Chen Yu was here, in Xiangmanju!
"Miaojing, what's wrong with you?" Dou Miaoqin, who was holding her, felt her sister's strangeness.
Dou Miaojing let out a "hmm" and choked: "I...... I was suddenly a little sick. Mother, I want to wait for you in the sedan chair. β
I was still alive just now, but I was uncomfortable in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Yuan Da was surprised and worried: "Or we will go back first after buying the sachets?" β
"No, you don't." Dou Miaojing shook her head, "I'll just rest in the sedan chair." As he spoke, he walked out of the fragrant house with the support of Shaoyue.
Dou Miaoqin looked at her sister's sudden malaise and was very uneasy: "Sister, what's wrong?" Is it really cold? This can't be done, mother, let's go directly to Zhixingzhai later, right? β
The young woman next to her looked at their mother and daughter with some embarrassment.
She doesn't seem to say anything, does she? Why did you scare that second lady into getting sick?
Mrs. Yuan nodded. Turning her eyes to the young woman who ran to the hall in Xiangmanju, she said apologetically: "I think I was having a good time, and the cold wind was blowing outside, so I was shocked for a while." β
The young woman's face was better-looking, and Mrs. Chong Yuan smiled: "Second Miss's body is important. β
Mrs. Yuan Da only regarded it as a scene. talked about the business of this trip: "You see what I just asked, which one is suitable." We paid a deposit, and the things were sent directly to the five rooms of the Dou family. β
"It turned out to be the wife of the Dou family, it was rude." As soon as she heard that it was from the fifth room of the Dou family, the young woman laughed happily again. Let people take out several scented bags and put them out in front of Mrs. Yuanda, "These brocade bags are all Shu brocade materials, which are suitable for people like Mrs. Yuan." You see, this is the snow wave catching the moon, and this is the ...... of the Liuting Yellow Bird"
They came to buy spices, and now they are visiting the cloth farm.
"It's just that it's worn on the body to ward off evil spirits when traveling, so you don't need to be so particular." Mrs. Yuan didn't even look at these dazzling brocade bags.
As soon as I heard that they were members of the Dou family, most of the vendors were like this, picking out some expensive and impractical blowing.
These sachets made of Shu brocade materials, let alone her, even the wife of the Chen family, who is picking things up in the private room at the moment, will not buy them back in piles.
The young woman was slightly disappointed, and forced a smile: "Then why don't you do the same as Mrs. Chen?" β
"This ...... Is it appropriate? Mrs. Yuan hesitated.
"There's something wrong with that. The sachet that Mrs. Chen matches, can't other family members match? β
This is true, but it is a little strange to say so.
Mrs. Yuan didn't think much about it, she was still worried about Dou Miaojing. Then he said: "Except for the old lady and the two young ladies, you should be extra careful, and the others are normal." β
The young woman laughed loudly: "I can save it." He hurriedly took out the list and wrote down the number of categories required by Mrs. Yuan.
With that, the door of the private room opened. The female shopkeeper of the fragrant house sent Mrs. Chen out with a smile.
The guests who were originally picking spices in the hall suddenly quieted down, and those who were close to the private room unconsciously stood to the side.
There were not many of them, but whoever came, even the servant woman who followed behind them, was also dressed in plain clothes. Whether it is the material worn on the body or the jewelry on the hand, it may not be expensive, but there is an indescribable elegance and dignity. It was like a look that didn't eat the fireworks of the world, separating them from the other people in the hall.
Dou Miaoqin sighed in her heart. It turns out that this is the real style of the family.
The young woman whispered beside Mrs. Yuan, "Look, that is Mrs. Chen." β
Mrs. Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Mrs. Chen not far away. It was a very graceful-looking woman, slightly chubby, but fair-skinned. In particular, the swaying of a dot of emerald inlaid with colorful gemstones obliquely inserted on her hanging phoenix bun lined her skin with a picturesque eyebrow.
Not to mention Mrs. Yuan, even Dou Miaoqin was secretly taken aback.
I heard that this Mrs. Chen gave birth to Uncle Chen when she was thirty years old, and it stands to reason that she is a few years older than Mrs. Zhou. But looking at it, it turned out to be similar to Mrs. Yuanda.
Mrs. Yuan Da couldn't help but touch her face, and suddenly felt that her skin had become much rougher over the years.
The young woman continued: "The one next to the eldest lady is the daughter of the eldest lady of the Chen family, Wang. Today, even her uncle is here! β
Mrs. Yuan still has a pity in her heart, that the eldest lady of the Chen family is a thin one, and she died in order to give birth to Wang's dystocia. The Wang family has been raised in his grandfather's house since he was a child, and he heard that he is closer than his granddaughter.
At this time, I heard the young woman say that the uncle of the Chen family was also living in Xiangmanju. She was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at Dou Miaoqin.
When Dou Miaoqin heard this, she was immediately so frightened that she wanted to hide behind her mother. But she hasn't seen Uncle Chen's figure yet!
Growing up so big, except for the two cousins of the Lu family, she has never had contact with other foreign men. Just looking at it from a distance, she felt a little shy and unspeakable.
Mrs. Yuan smiled, wanting to comfort her.
A sentence suddenly came to my ears: "Why don't you wake me up when you leave." β
A young man with a lazy but handsome face came out of the private room, and hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Chen's other arm and kept laughing.
"That's the son of the Chen family, Uncle Chen Yu." The young woman's eyes lit up.
Such a handsome and outstanding young man, who doesn't like it.
Mrs. Yuan saw the two maids who followed Chen Yu out, and they were all ashamed. She felt that this Chen Yu might not be so good.
was about to leave, but the young woman behind him volunteered to step forward and make a maid, introducing them on both sides.
She didn't want to save Mrs. Chen's face, so she had to bring Dou Miaoqin to greet her.
