Chapter 16: Sun's Gesture of Favor
The Feng family took their own people to the north, Su Yuping was the eldest son and the prince, and the Qingping Courtyard where they lived was behind Mrs. Lu's courtyard, located on the central axis of the Hou Mansion. She is on a different path from Sun and Yao.
Su Yu'an's Anju Courtyard and Su Yuxiang's Qixiang Courtyard are on the east side, one in front of the other, and the Anju Courtyard and Qingping Courtyard are side by side, which is the East Cross Courtyard. Qixiangyuan is behind Anjuyuan, and a wall of the courtyard is in line with Qingpingyuan. In other words, the size of a courtyard in Qingping Temple is exactly the sum of Anju Courtyard and Qixiang Temple.
This can't be blamed on anyone, the ancient precepts, the young and the old are orderly, not to mention that Su Yuping is the son of the world.
Su Jinyun's teaching and guidance Niang Zixing's daughter-in-law is Feng's companion and can be regarded as a confidant. Because she heard that the Sun family was going to give Yao Yanyu clothes, Xing's daughter-in-law said to the Feng family while walking: "Why is the second grandmother suddenly generous today, how many things Mrs. has given her, and I have never seen a decent return gift." Are you in a hurry to deliver something to someone at this time? ”
Feng Shi chuckled: "How can there be such a good thing?" The second grandmother's mother's family fell in love with the second girl in the Zhenguo Mansion and wanted to marry her cousin. Didn't Mrs. Gang say that the second girl from the Zhenguo Mansion invited our third girl and Miss Yao to play? ”
"I see." Xing's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "The father of the second grandmother is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is said that this portal is not low, but the second girl of the Zhenguo Mansion has always had high eyes, and I am afraid that this family business is difficult to achieve, right?" ”
"You're confused. This marriage has always been decided by parents and elders, even if the two girls don't have a high vision, can she still make a private decision for life? The Guogong Mansion is not an ordinary people's home. If you want me to say, the second grandmother is sick and went to the doctor. ”
"That's what Madame said." The ridicule on Xing's daughter-in-law's face was hard to hide, "It's just that Miss Yao has made a lot of money this time." ”
"But two satins, the Yao family is not short of this. The governor of Liangjiang is an official position of the second grade, and it is also a fat shortage. And the ancestors of the Yao family are on the rich side, don't look at Miss Yao as a concubine, I'm afraid that there are more things in private than the second grandmother. ”
"That's true, I heard that when Miss Yao entered the mansion, she pulled more than a dozen carts of things with her? Ay! To say that this Yao girl is a poor person, what is the matter with her in our house now? ”
Feng sneered: "Originally, it was for her sister, and she even brought the dowry, and she just waited for the next year to be filial piety." But her sister's illness has actually healed, and her identity is really embarrassing. ”
"But everyone has entered the door, and there is no reason to send it out. Is it possible to marry one daughter and two people? ”
"It depends on what Governor Yao thinks. The daughter of a dignified second-class member is afraid that she will not be a concubine, right? As he spoke, Feng had already entered his courtyard.
In the Qixiang Courtyard, Sun really asked her personal grandmother to send two tribute satins, one green embroidered gold thread phoenix tail dark pattern heavy satin, and one light peach flower with silver thread plum dark pattern brocade. It is indeed a delicate and bright color, and the finest material.
It's just that Yao Fengge's uncle Wang Kezhong is now Jiangning Weaving, and the world's most haode silk and satin have been passed from him, except for the silk brocade that must be used by the queen, but all the Yao family that can be seen outside has it. Yao Fengge is not uncommon.
However, Yao Fengge couldn't refute Sun's face. So he politely thanked him, accepted the things, and rewarded the people who came to send the things, and asked Mama Li to send the people out in person.
Yao Yanyu didn't like such a delicate color very much, so she said: "It's not suitable for me to make clothes with these two satins, so my sister should keep them and give them away." ”
Yao Fengge smiled: "That's it, I know you don't like such a dazzling color." I picked a few more horses, and after a while, I called the tailor to come in and measure you. ”
"Sister Lao is bothered, my sister has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still weak, my sister doesn't dare to bother my sister with these little things."
Yao Fengge sighed angrily: "My parents are not in the capital, and you and I are dependent on each other." Why bother to say these polite words, I will be good if you are good, and I will naturally not let you be wronged if I am good. A few pieces of silk and a few clothes, what is it? But my sister went to the Zhenguo Mansion, and it was too late to make clothes. As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Sango, "Go and take out all the clothes I made in the spring and give them to my sister to try." My sister's current body size is about the same as before my illness, so she probably fits. ”
Coral agreed to go out, and after a while he came in with a large Dora baggage.
Yao Fengge has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and as long as her things are not overstepped, her mother Wang will pick the most haode for her. When he got married, the dowry was rich, and after he got married, the governor's palace had good things to send here.
The clothes that Coral took out were extremely particular about the solid surface, the fabric, the style, the embroidery process, and the inlaid pearls and jade. The color is elegant, not impetuous, luxurious rather than gorgeous.
When Yao Yanyu saw it, she hurriedly smiled and shirked it: "It's a pity for me to wear this dress." Sister, let's keep it, your serious illness is gone, and your body will slowly grow. ”
"What you wear is what I wear. I just told you so much in vain? These clothes are given to you, and then you and the three girls go to the Zhenguo Mansion, and you can wear whichever you like, you don't have to be tight. When you get to the Zhenguo Mansion, you don't have to be too restrained. I used to be a common second girl in the Zhenguo Mansion, and she was also a sensible and decent good girl, humble and generous, not a girl raised by a small family, you should be able to get along with her. ”
Yao Fengge said these words, and Yao Yanyu had to agree repeatedly.
After a while, Mama Li came in and replied, "The residence of our second master is arranged in the Tingfeng Pavilion on the west side of the study in the front yard." The bedding utensils inside are all brand new, and the housekeeper just came to ask if the master had anything special to order, so they could do it together. ”
Yao Fengge frowned and said, "Listening to the Wind Pavilion and Qixiang Courtyard are too far away, isn't the Lanyue Pavilion in the northeast corner idle?" Ask someone to pack it up and live for the second brother. The second brother must go out to do business during the day, and it is convenient for our brother and sister to talk when they come back at night. ”
Mama Li agreed to go down and command, and Yao Yanyu took the opportunity to get up: "My sister has been tired for a long time, and she should rest for a while." ”
Yao Fengge said with a smile: "You go, I will invite the second brother to come over for dinner, you come along." Our brothers and sisters talk about themselves. ”
Yao Yanyu promised to go back to her room, Cuiwei came back with a big bag of clothes, put the burden on the couch when she entered the door, took out the four clothes inside one by one and compared them to Yao Yanyu, and asked excitedly: "Girl, when you go to the Zhenguo Mansion as a guest in the future, which one do you wear?" This jade-colored bucket pattern? Or this lilac freckle? This tooth-colored iris is also good-looking......"
Yao Yanyu shook her head helplessly, pointing to the pine-colored skirt that was missed: "That's it." I'm being annoyed by you, can you settle down a little bit? It's just a few clothes, and you're so happy, am I really shabby? ”
Cui Wei hurriedly put away her clothes with a smile and explained, "Where, where!" The girl is not angry, the slave maid just thinks that this dress is elegant, and look at this needlework is not worse than the one entered, so she likes it. ”
