Chapter 8: Distinguished Guests
On the day of the feast, Hug Xiang was frightened and took Illan out of the bed very early. The pen www.biquge.info washed her, and then changed into the red dress sent by the old lady with gold embroidery and gold orchid, and wore a snow-colored white silk skirt, and the small shoes made of snow forged were decorated with a round bead. Then wear the matching red gold flower crown, which is adorned with red and blue gemstones. Hold the incense in the center of the eyebrows and then light a cinnabar, you don't need to apply rouge on your face, just apply some balm to moisten your skin.
After dressing up, she hugged the incense and sighed straightly: The four girls are really good-looking. I couldn't help but say, "The girl is very similar to Aunt Green!" ”
She was unintentional, and she was stunned when she fell into Huilan's ears, she had never seen the poor woman who died in childbirth. She unconsciously touched her cheeks, like her? This face is what she gave. Seeing Illan stunned, Huxiang glanced at the wind, she knew that her girl had an idea, much smarter than ordinary three-year-old dolls. Actually, she understands.
As soon as she wanted to say something to divert Eilan's contemplation, she saw Eloan turn around and ask them, "Are you ready?" Goldfish, Luozi ......"
Shocking Feng took a hug of incense and hurriedly said: "It's all ready, the clothes, shoes and handkerchiefs ready to change are all ready." Illan nodded, and the big stone in the heart of the frightened wind fell to the ground, she understood that although she and Baoxiang were both big girls beside the fourth miss, she could not compare to the favor of the old lady and the fourth miss with Baoxiang. She also lost her words just now, but fortunately Aunt Mei is not here today, otherwise she would have been punished.
Hulan took two girls to have breakfast with the old lady, because she was going to a banquet, and the kitchen specially prepared for her to eat silver noodles boiled in chicken soup, spicy fried fish, and sauced beef. The old lady drank the porridge that nourished qi and blood, and watched her walk in with a smile, a little girl, as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
Elan ate deliciously, and a bowl of silver silk noodles was still satisfied. A whole chicken put mushrooms and star anise bay leaves, the soup simmered overnight in a small stove, the chicken has long been stewed in the soup, eat a mouthful of noodles and drink a mouthful of soup full of fragrant. The cook skimmed off the thick oil on the top layer, and she didn't feel tired.
The little face flushed when she ate the bowl of noodles, and the old lady finished the last mouthful of porridge. With a gesture of her hand, Aunt Mei took out a box, and the box of sour branches and wood was opened, and there was a pair of old silver and red jade bracelets lying inside, the red jade color was extremely pure, like the red clothes on her body.
Baoxiang stepped forward to remove the lotus silk gold bracelet on her wrist for her, and replaced her with the old lady's gift, her skin was white and delicate, and the wrist above the bracelet lined her skin more and more like jade.
The old lady gave her clothes and jewelry because she didn't want her to go to the banquet and be despised.
Thank you for the old lady Hulan went to Zhao's courtyard with a hug of incense, she was more small than Zhao's Huitong dressed up, and when she arrived, Zhao and Huitong were still eating.
The food in Zhao's Furong Garden is also good, there are more than a dozen kinds of breakfast alone, and the table is full. Illan noticed that there was an empty bowl on the table, and it seemed that Daddy Su was here for breakfast today. No wonder, when Eilan asked for peace, Zhao's face was full of joy.
Ah, woman. Elan sighed, because Su Zijin stayed overnight last night, and the Zhao family used an extra bowl of nourishing decoction this morning. Sister-in-law, she is still in a hurry.
Hui Tong looked at Hui Lan, and only felt that this fourth sister must be bright and moving no matter how old she is. From this point of view, the corners of her mouth are upturned, how could she not like the lustful husband in her previous life? She had already made up her mind, since things were going according to the trajectory of her previous life, then she would use one move to stiffen Li Daitao. Someone has to marry him anyway, isn't it excellent to use this extra fourth sister?
In her memory, Painted Clouds and Painted Beads did not have a good ending in the end. After the death of the old lady, Su Zijin looked very different from the past, and he also sharpened his head and climbed up in the officialdom, and his two younger sisters just became his stepping stones. Huizhu was beaten by him before she got married, and Aunt Ming was sent to Zhuangzi by him and never came back. In this life, she came to her senses and realized that she was just a chess piece in Su Zijin's hands. The father who loved her was so loving. Scold! She will never think about the people of the Su family again, as long as she and her mother are good, it doesn't matter what they do!
She thought so at this time, but she was only momentarily confused by resentment. How can you think that there are no eggs under the nest? The Su family is a big tree, and the big tree is gone, how can their mother and daughter live?
Zhao's Huitong packed up and asked once if you had brought all the things in Huilan? Illan nodded yes, and then instructed her mother-in-law to arrange a carriage.
Zhao took Huitong Hulan out of Furong Garden, all the way out of the inner courtyard and into the outer courtyard, and the maid and the maid and the little maid were not hanging their heads to say goodbye. This is the first time that Hulan has been out of the inner courtyard, and the scenery in the outer courtyard is obviously better, there are not so many delicate flowers, and there are more green bamboos and green pine camellias...... When passing by the eaves of Fufeng, Su Zijin was walking in with a few people. He was still wearing an official uniform, obviously preparing to go to work, but he didn't expect anyone to come. Among those people were three young men, dressed in black clothes and wearing swords, but they were a little embarrassed, and there were even some blood stains on their bodies. Among them was a boy of five or six years old, dressed in white, with no ornaments on his body, but he had learned the appearance of an adult early and tied up his hair, and walked upright with a handsome little face.
Huilan saw it, and it seemed that Su Zijin was still quite jealous of the boy, and while smiling and talking, he was still wiping the sweat on his forehead that did not exist.
Gao Leng little president, Illan made a decision in her heart. Zhao also saw it, and Linshui beside Huitong hurriedly turned sideways to block Huitong's body, but Huitong was wearing high-soled shoes today, which only blocked most of Huitong's head. Zhao hurriedly asked Zirui to step forward, Huitong was a ten-year-old girl, and she couldn't easily call the foreign man to look at it.
And Helan is still just a child, where does anyone think she should stop it. Naturally, the movement here did not hide from the people over there, and the people on both sides walked under the two corridors, and there was only a lotus pond in the middle, and only koi fish were swimming freely. The boy looked over, and the little girl in the red dress and white dress came down the antique corridor, and her big bright eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Jiang Jiuhan felt a shock in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and turned his head and walked forward without squinting. With that touch of red, across the corridor, across the lotus pond, across the spring breeze in March, the peach blossom world breathes, pass by.
This is their first meeting, peach blossoms in March, and spring is just right.
There was nothing surprising for Huitong to see that child, there was also such a noble boy in his previous life who came to live in the mansion for two months, and then never saw him again. She carefully rummaged through her memories and relieved herself after making sure that there were no memories. She attaches great importance to the rebirth of this life, and she must not make any trouble.
went to the political historian's house, and the Zhao family prepared a total of two carriages for the master, one of which was naturally for her and Huitong to sit on. One is Edran's. Hulan has no objection to this, Zhao's carriage is spacious enough, and it is okay to add one Hulan, but she prepared one for Hulan alone, and she is unwilling to go with her. Hulan was happy, and she didn't want to be under Huitong's staring gaze.
The carriage drove and slowly arrived at the bustling market. Hulan heard the sound of selling steamed buns, sugar gourds, and barbecued pork buns...... 's shouting, and the body that sat upright began to be restless. His eyes looked out vigorously, but the curtains hanging from the carriage windows were all thick material, and the carriage was running steadily, and it was not blown up by the wind. Orchid is disappointed, although life is rich, but it is a caged bird.
Baoxiang was shocked to see the appearance of Painted Lan and knew that she wanted to see the scenery outside, so she covered her lips and smiled: "Girl, bear with it, the wife is in front, and there is a mother-in-law and maid in the back." If you are seen, you should be told when you go back. ”
Illan was suddenly depressed, not only did Zhao seize the opportunity to teach herself, but the old lady would also preach. Both of them are well-behaved people.
Hulan was sad because she couldn't open the curtain to take a look, but when Zhao told her about Mrs. Buzhengshi's preferences, she raised her eyes and interjected, "What does Mother think of the fourth sister?" ”
Zhao Shi paused, and then said with a somewhat uneasy face: "Why did you ask about her?" ”
Huitong lowered her eyes and smiled: "It's just that I have this question when I think about it, mother say it quickly." ”
Zhao Shi paused, and came with a smile: "She is a well-behaved and sensible person, if she keeps to herself, it will be good in the future." ”
Her voice is soft, but Huitong is cold, and it is good to keep to herself. If you keep to yourself, you can live well in the Su family, right? Huitong was taken aback by her own thoughts, and she hurriedly said: "I like it when I look at my fourth sister, and the goldfish she gave me a few days ago is also very good, and she is also on time to greet my mother." It can be seen that she is a courteous person, mother, you say, isn't it? ”
Zhao stroked her sideburns and said, "Yes." ”
Hui Tong smiled slightly, in her memory, her grandmother had passed away before she could leave the cabinet. When her grandmother died, wouldn't she be trying to figure out how to bring her to Dianfangzhai? She didn't know that what her mother Zhao was thinking was exactly the opposite of her.
Poor Illan didn't know that Zhao's mother and daughter had already made their first move for her life.
The carriage traveled for an hour before it arrived at the political historian's house, and the carriage parked here was owned by people who were either rich or expensive, and they were all the number one in the Jiangnan officialdom shopping mall.
Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have been close to each other, and there is no official who will not earn some extra money by virtue of his official position. The Su family is no exception, a large family of mothers, aunts, girls, maids, mothers-in-law, and small servants, just raising them, that Yulu is only enough, where can they live more than rich.
The house of the Buzheng historian was bought and merged, and Hulan followed Zhao's Huitong into the house. There are all kinds of birds hanging on the eaves, flowers and forests along the way, birds and stones, and the small lotus pond is much larger than the Su family.
The ladies saw the Zhao family come up to say hello, and they couldn't stop praising the Zhao family for their good fortune and having such a daughter with such a sign of rules. And what about Edran, the little tail? Everyone knows that the Zhao family has only one concubine, and the concubine Huilan is just a good girl.
Most of the wives of the official family don't look down on their concubines very much.
