Chapter 4 The Spring Breeze Rises
The grass grows and the warbler flies in the April sky, and the flowers compete to sway in the spring light, and in a blink of an eye, Xie Yixin, the eldest lady of the Xie family, is already thirteen years old. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the little sisters around her have seen each other and become engaged, although Xie Yixin has no plans for her mother, she is not in a hurry at all.
Because since she was ignorant, she has already made up her mind that Brother Zhaowu will be her husband! Master Xie and Mrs. Yang were also happy to see her and Yang Zhaowu succeed, so they were too close to the children and turned a blind eye.
Xie Yixin knew that although everyone hadn't mentioned it now, when she and Mrs. Yang came forward, she would be the wife of Brother Zhaowu.
The 12th Flower Festival in April is the day Xie Yixin has been looking forward to for a long time. Because Brother Zhaowu agreed, he accompanied her to the Maitreya Temple of Phoenix Mountain to enjoy the flowers.
It's only the tenth day of April today, and I heard that the new jewelry has arrived in the Splendid Pavilion, Xie Yixin asked Meng Baoying to choose.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the bottom of the splendid attic, the shopkeeper Chen had already hurried out: "Miss Xie, you want to choose jewelry, give an order, I will let Liu Niang personally take it to the house, why did you come here in person today?" ”
Xie Yixin and Meng Baoying helped the maid's hand to get out of the carriage, Meng Baoying grinned and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, we took the opportunity to play on the street." If it weren't for Sister Xie, I wouldn't have been able to get out! ”
Shopkeeper Chen also knew that this was Miss Meng, and her father Meng Ningkang was the second room of the Meng family, although he was only a five-grade prefect, but his brother Meng Ninglu, the eldest house of the Meng family, was a scholar of the second grade of the Ministry of Rites, so his family education was very strict.
Although the Dasheng Dynasty is not as strict as the previous dynasty, and the unmarried daughter and servants can also go to the street to play with them, Meng Baoying rarely goes out on weekdays, and her mother is willing to let her go only when she is accompanied by Xie Yixin.
She is also a lively person, so whenever she wants to go out, she wants green cherry blossoms to bring letters to Liuhong, and then Xie Yixin posts or invites her.
Shopkeeper Chen welcomed the two delicate guests into the door, and Fang Niang led them to the box on the second floor, served tea and snacks, and then sent various new jewelry to them on a red velvet tray for them to choose.
This time, the new jewelry on the Splendid Pavilion is all new styles of Yanjing, each piece is exquisite and elegant, even if Miss Xie has a lot of jewelry, she also chose several pieces with great interest.
Xie Yixin's favorite set of tourmaline heads, including a full house of delicate hearts, a ring buckle forehead Ruyi pendant, a pair of earring pendants, three long hairpins, three short hairpins, two luodian, all are begonia shapes, chic and exquisite, pink tourmaline is lined with flowers, pink and lovely.
Meng Baoying was very greedy, but this set of tourmaline heads cost 1,200 taels of silver, although she was tempted, she didn't dare to start, and only chose a few single hairpins worth one or two hundred.
Usually they are greeted by Liu Niang, but today they have been here for so long, and Liu Niang has not taken a picture.
Meng Baoying asked curiously: "Is Liu Niang not here today?" I liked the plum blossom luozi she taught Lu Gui to play last time, doesn't she still play Pisces luozi? Let Lu Gui learn again today. ”
Fang Niang smiled again and again: "The guest who came here before, it was Miss Tuesday of the Fu Yin family, she brought a few sisters to pick out jewelry, and Liu Niang went to entertain her." Didn't Fang Niang serve well? I also hope that the two young ladies will take care of me, and let me send more money this month! ”
Fang Niang is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a good appearance and a plump figure, it is the time of maturity and enchantment, and she laughs while talking, and her witty words make Meng Baoying and Xie Yixin laugh. Xie Yixin didn't care who entertained Ben, she continued to choose jewelry and ignored it.
Seeing that the jewelry had been picked out, Xie Yixin pointed to the jewelry she picked out and put on another plate, and Meng Baoying picked out a few things, and ordered: "Wrap them up and send them to my house to settle the bill." ”
Meng Baoying was reluctant to say: "Sister Xie, last time on my birthday, I accepted the eight-treasure glazed hairpin you gave me, but this time I chose it, I can't let you send it to me." ”
Xie Yixin knew that the Meng family's background was also good, so she didn't insist, and followed Meng Baoying's wishes. When she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered what she had heard from Xiao Yahuan, and asked Fang Niang: "Didn't you hear that you got a set of white jade hairpins this time?" Why didn't I see it? ”
Before Fang Niang could reply, the little girl next to her said crisply: "That set of white jade hairpins was taken by Liu Niang, and it may have been set by Miss Tuesday." ”
Xie Yi was a little curious, Miss Zhou Lingqiao on Tuesday has always been at odds with her, but both of them like bright jewelry, and the sun is rising in the west today?
Just as they stepped out of the wing, they were greeted by Miss Zhou Lingqiao and Miss Zhou Lingzhu on Tuesday, and a beautiful woman in white stood next to them.
Although Xie Yixin and Meng Baoying are both beautiful embryos, they are still young and insufficient, only with the dexterity of a girl, and lack the charm of a woman.
But the beautiful woman in white was obviously in her prime, tall, well-developed, convex and backward. She was wearing a white plum blossom and silver filigree dark pattern waist-length skirt, with a milky white palace silk tied around her waist, hanging white jade pendants, and curling like willows when walking. Look at the girl's face like a goose egg, her skin like clotted fat, the top of her black and shiny hair is loosely tied into a bun, and the hair is softly draped behind her head. The goose egg face is picturesque with distant mountains and eyebrows, a pair of thin and slender Danfeng eyes are rippling, and under the small and upright nose, the cherry lipstick is as bright as fire.
Rao is Xie Yixin is also a beautiful embryo, and she was also shocked by this woman's appearance, and I have to admit that this woman's appearance is indeed rare. The most rare thing is that although this woman is gorgeous and unique, she is cold and holy between her eyebrows, which makes people want to look close but can't bear to blaspheme.
In the same Jinling, all kinds of banquets are common to all kinds of ladies, although they just met and were attracted by the beauty in white and had a gap with Miss Tuesday, but it is still necessary to meet each other and greet each other.
Miss Yin Er has been at odds with Xie Yixin for a long time because her color is slightly inferior to Xie Yixin, and today she saw that someone finally suppressed Xie Yixin's posture, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Sister Xie, I'm afraid that your title of the first beauty in Jinling will be given up today?" ”
Before Xie Yixin could speak, Meng Baoying on the side sneered: "Even if Sister Xie is still young and not the first in Jinling, it is not Sister Yin's turn, right?" I don't know why you got it? ”
When Zhou Lingshan heard this, she was embarrassed and said angrily: "Of course I have to be proud, this is my cousin!" Zhou Lingsu, the pearl of the lord of Mindan! ”
Thinking of something instead, he covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's also Sister Xie who hangs on her lips every day, Brother Zhaowu's cousin!" ”
Originally, what was the title of the first beauty in Jinling, Xie Yixin was not at ease, but it was ranked by good deeds. But when it comes to Brother Zhaowu's cousin, and it is such a color, Xie Yi felt a deep uneasiness in his heart.
Meng Baoying still wanted to speak, but Xie Yixin turned around and grabbed her, turned her head and replied with a smile: "The sister of the Zhou family is indeed a national beauty, and the little sister is ashamed of herself." I don't know how many days my sister will stay in Jinling, and when I set up a banquet to enjoy the flowers another day, I will also post to invite, and I hope that Sister Zhou will appreciate her face. ”
