Chapter 101: Patterns
"On such a festive and lively day, my sister can't be sleepy after dinner!" Han Qingqi said with a smile, there was naturally a kindness between her eyebrows, which made people can't help but have a good impression of her, and listened to her continue: "I heard Yuwei say that Lord Chao raised a few colorful birds in the garden, and he can learn to speak, the sisters are curious, and they just want to go over and go shopping, this is the age of fun, so don't limit yourself!" ”
"Oh, if there really is such an interesting bird?" Mu Zhimo showed great interest, and deliberately got a lot of closeness to Han Qingqi, which was already a delicate face, so it looked even more bright and glamorous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Han Qingqi saw that Mu Zhimo's little restraint also dispersed, and her smile increased a lot, among the young ladies, Han Qingqi's status was the highest, since it was Mu Zhimo who she invited, everyone couldn't be unhappy, and they all looked at Mu Zhimo with a smile on their faces.
Mu Xuan lowered her head after seeing the salute, and when she saw that Mu Zhimo agreed, she naturally followed, so the two of them took Jinping, Liuying and Mu Xuan's two personal maids, Xilian and Xiyu, to follow Han Qingqi and their young ladies to the garden.
Half a tea time to a garden with a good view, the garden gathered a lot of young ladies, the laughter is full of ears, several octagonal pavilions in the garden have put down long curtains, Han Qingqi took the ladies into a pavilion, opened the curtain and went in to see five young ladies sitting in the house, there was a charcoal fire burning inside, and the small clay stove in the house was still warm plum wine.
A lady in a water blue dress in the room got up when she saw them come in, and welcomed Han Qingqi and them in with a smile. "Why are my sisters here now, we're all anxious to wait!"
"I just met a girl I knew on the road and brought her over, so I was a little late. Please forgive my sister! Han Qingqi sat down with a smile, and then pulled Mu Zhimo to him, "This is Mu Zhimo, the eldest lady of the imperial merchant Mu family, I felt a lot of closeness when I saw her!" turned to Mu Zhimo and introduced several young ladies present, four of them were young ladies from the Qingfu of Guanglu Temple, and the last girl with a slightly pale face was the young lady of the Shaoqing Mansion of Guanglu Temple, and she was also a cousin of the Qingfu of Guanglu Temple.
Several of the girls in the room heard the words and looked over. I saw Mu Zhimo wearing an autumn-colored dress, with elegant manners and a very outstanding appearance. One of them smiled and said: "Sister Han's gaze is also poisonous, such a beauty can be caught by you, why didn't we see it when we listened to the perfume pavilion in the morning, but asked Sister Han to take the lead." ”
"That's right. The girl in this room. is about to be compared to this young lady brought by Sister Han! A girl in purple smiled, but there was a sour taste in her words.
The two girls who spoke, one was the fifth lady Chao Xianyu of the Qing Mansion of Guanglu Temple, and the other was Chao Ningshuang, the eighth girl of the concubine.
Mu Zhimo didn't change her face when she heard this, and stood aside with a polite smile to the few girls in the room.
Seeing this, the girls didn't say anything, their eyes turned to the young ladies behind Han Qingqi, and seeing that most of them had met in the morning, they smiled and sat down after saluting.
Mu Zhimo took Mu Xuan to sit inside. Seeing this, I also pretended to be interested, and occasionally the young lady asked. He also smiled and responded a few words, and did not interject.
Although Mu Yunyan next to her came over with Han Qingqi and a few young ladies, she didn't talk much, and when she saw the young lady of the Shaoqing family of Guanglu Temple in the pavilion, she smiled, and she was very affectionate in the past, and the young lady was quite close to her, personally helped her up, pulled her to sit beside her, and whispered, Mu Zhimo sat far away, although she couldn't hear clearly, she also knew why.
This young lady in the Shaoqing Mansion of Guanglu Temple is the only girl left by Chao's dead sister, Chao's sister fell in love with Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple at first sight, and she married for many years to get such a girl, but she did not pass the birth level.
This girl had a disease in her womb, and she had never been out of the house much, but she didn't want to go out of the house once but encountered an accident, and was rescued by Mu Han who was passing by, and then she paid attention to the Mu family, and she was as close to Mu Yunyan as a sister.
Mu Zhimo retracted his gaze at Mu Yunyan, not to mention the temperament of the Yiliu family, would he find such a girl for his son, even if Mu Yunyan used a sick and weak girl like this, he was a little confused.
After chatting for a while, Chao Xianyu ordered someone to bring a parrot in, the coat was bright green, and when she saw the girl, she said auspicious words, which made a room full of girls laugh.
"What a psychic bird, look, it's really like that!" Han Qingqi looked at the parrot and couldn't help but praise.
"I've never seen anything so interesting when I'm so old!" Wang Linghui, who was good friends with Mu Yunyan, said, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I forgot, it was said that the little mink raised by the ghost doctor Wei Han is also very human, and I saw it when I entered the house in the morning!" ”
As soon as these words were opened, some girls said with envy: "Sister Chao, this baptism ceremony in your house is really lively, not only the ghost doctor Wei Han is here, but even the prince of Yongning Houfu is here!" I heard my brother say that he has only appeared at the flower party in the palace since he returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect to come to your house today! ”
"What, the ghost doctor and Yun Shizi are here? How I didn't know! Sister Chao, tell us quickly, what do they look like? I've only heard their names until now! ”
Chao Xianyu heard a few young ladies say this, and she felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart, but she was also a little embarrassed by the questions asked by these young ladies, and said with a smile: "Sisters, aren't you embarrassed for me, I've been in the backyard since the morning, and their male guests are in the front yard, I'm not the same as you, and I can't see their appearance!" ”
A room of young ladies heard the words for a while, thinking that what she said was right, what kind of banquet is there on weekdays, it is difficult for male and female guests to see each other at the end of the day, men and women are on guard, these can't mess with the rules.
But there is still the unrelenting saying: "They can come to participate in this baptismal ceremony, naturally they are not good friends with the house, and Sister Chao has never seen them on weekdays?" ”
This is a question that is not in accordance with the rules. But Chao Xianyu also knew her original intention, and she didn't make a mistake, shook her head and said, "I've never heard my mother say this." But it is unknown what kind of friendship they have with their father and brother! ”
At this point, everyone was no longer interested in asking, and a girl also smiled when she saw this: "These things, you shouldn't ask Sister Chao, you should go home late and ask your brother and brother, they are all in the outer courtyard, so naturally they can be seen!" ”
The girls' hearts were alive again when they heard this, but Chao Xian's words were a little distracted. Not for anything else, but I thought of what my mother said a few days ago, saying that Mrs. Yongninghou was picking a daughter-in-law recently. It would be nice if she could take a fancy to her! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, no, it's really late to go to my brother's place to find out!
A room full of girls chattered about Yun Shizi and the ghost doctor, and Mu Zhimo didn't bother to participate. He sat out and avoided it.
Mu Yunyan's eyes flashed when she saw this. After saying a few words to the young lady in the Shaoqing Mansion of Guanglu Temple, she came to Mu Zhimo, and said with a smile: "I forgot to congratulate my sister, as soon as I came out today, I attracted the love of so many sisters, and my sister is really envious!" I didn't have time to thank my sister for interceding for my sister in the morning, otherwise I wouldn't have the blessing to play with my sisters now. ”
"Sister is really joking, aren't you on good terms with the young lady in the Shaoqing Mansion of Guanglu Temple, where do you need my sister to give you this blessing!" Mu Zhimo said lightly, no one is paying attention here. She didn't bother to play this sisterly relationship with her.
"Second sister, where do you want to thank her. It's also Miss Han Si who has a good temperament, she can give her face as a concubine, invite her to go to the garden together, and see, even the silent one on weekdays sat in! Mu Yue followed behind Mu Yunyan and sneered, seeing that Mu Xuan could come in, he was even more angry.
"Did I hear the wrong thing? If I'm not mistaken, the fourth sister is also a concubine, how can you come in, Mu Xuan and I can't get in! Mu Zhimo glanced at Mu Yue and said.
"You...... Can I be the same as you? I came with the second sister, and the second sister was invited by Miss Jun from the Shaoqing Mansion of Guanglu Temple, and you were just brought over by the way! ”
Mu Zhimo didn't want to talk to her like this, so she glanced at her lightly and talked to Mu Xuan next to her, Mu Yue seemed to have punched the cotton, and it was very uncomfortable to hold her breath in her heart, so she looked at Mu Yunyan and called: "Second sister, ......"
Mu Yunyan saw that Mu Zhimo obviously ignored herself, but she didn't get angry, and at the end she smiled with Mu Yue.
Han Qingqi saw from a distance that Mu Zhimo's sisters finished speaking, and slowly walked over and sat down, "What's the matter, but what's the matter between the sisters?" ”
Mu Zhimo saw that it was her, so she only smiled and shook her head, "I said a few words to the second sister, and they all said that this bird is good, and I have to thank Sister Han for bringing me over!" ”
"Say these kind ......" Before Han Qingqi's words were finished, she let out an "ah" softly, and then saw a little girl in Tsing Yi pouring tea on her body, because she was sitting close to Mu Zhimo, Mu Zhimo was splashed a lot.
Hearing this, everyone in the room looked over, Chao Ningshuang saw that it was his maid who did it, got up and hurried over and slapped the maid, "How to do things, pour tea can't be done well, what do you want to do!" ”
Chao Xianyu also walked over: "Where are you burning?" This girl is getting more and more careless in her work. ”
Han Qingqi shook the water on her clothes, and said warmly: "For such a trivial matter, my sister doesn't have to blame her, who hasn't missed a time, don't worry about these things on today's good days, we also have an extra set of clothes left and right, just let the maid take it to change, and there will be nothing to delay!" ”
Mu Zhimo looked at the water stains on his clothes, and then got up and said, "What Sister Han said is that it's just a matter of changing clothes, Sister Chao doesn't have to worry." ”
The two young ladies saw that they were so much better, and the girl in Tsing Yi immediately kowtowed a few heads gratefully when she saw this, Chao Ningshuang said politely and said: "You guys have good eyes, I won't say anything if you are grateful, I will immediately send the maid to get you spare clothes, there is a charcoal fire in the guest room not far ahead, so let the maids help you over first!"
