Chapter 16: The Pomegranate Society

Seeing that Ran agreed to go to the pomegranate flower club, Ziying was very happy. But in the next two days, it was clear that he had suffered enough. Under Zi Ying's command, five or six dressing girls were busy around Ran for two days, and they were dazzled by the size of Ran Ran, and compared the silk and satin, and countless samples of various clothes and headdresses.

The ladies looked at this peerless face and good figure, and knew that the general's mansion would not be stingy with money, so they naturally used their whole body to design several sets of noble ladies' outfits. During this period, she was very little involved, after all, she didn't know much about the dress of this noble woman. However, Ziying has been discussing with the lady all the time, and she is very busy.

Two days before the pomegranate flower meeting, the new line of knowledge was finally delivered to the general's mansion on time. Looking at the new clothes of Aya Luo on the bed, and the various jewelry that can barely be placed on the dresser, I can't help but smile bitterly in my heart. It's just a day, where can you use so many styles of clothing?

"Sister, try it, let my sister see, you have to set the clothes that you should wear on the day of the pomegranate flower meeting early. Turn around and let the maid iron it, and you have to smoke incense a day in advance, and then disperse the smell, and when it comes to the day of wearing, the fragrance will be appropriate! Zi Ying didn't care about Ran and was stunned on the side, but she commanded her maid and dressed her up.

The first thing that was wrapped was a set of water-red coats, and a little spring plum jumped on top of the ayaluo, showing a pure and elegant state. The folds at the hem seem to be pinched out at random, which makes it naturally a little more playful. A few maids were familiar with the road and coiled up their hair, picked out a few strands of bun with a hairpin, fixed it with clips, and stood on the top of the hair at a staggered height. Coupled with the slightly luxurious phoenix-style hairpin, it immediately sets off the brilliance.

Although there is no makeup on the face, only a pair of glass-like eyes, plus fair and shiny skin, the brilliance is spontaneous, and people can't take their eyes off it.

Zi Ying looked at the understanding in front of her, and seemed to be stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful to look at my sister all the time, but today it's just such a simple dress-up, only to know that my sister turned out to be the appearance of the world, this woman in the capital, I'm afraid that I will be compared by my sister!" ”

There was no jealousy in Ziying's words, but sincere admiration. But when she heard Ziying's words, she was shocked in her heart. She knows that she has an extraordinary appearance, so she has always dressed up plainly, and her long bangs cover half of her face. Now he wants to show his face, but he doesn't want to steal the limelight at the pomegranate flower meeting.

If it is the identity of a royal princess, you can be proud of this appearance of the country and the city. But now after all, she is just an insignificant and somewhat embarrassing girl, showing off her appearance so much, I am afraid that she will cause trouble in vain.

Looking at his figure in the mirror, he regretted that he agreed to go to the pomegranate flower club a few days ago.

was hesitating, but saw Bizhu coming in from outside, holding a package in his hand. "Miss, Young Master Huan sent someone to bring some clothes and jewelry to Miss, saying that they were prepared for Miss to go to the Pomegranate Blossom Club."

I was a little surprised in my heart, I don't know where Huan'er is now, but why did I know that I would participate in the pomegranate flower party? When I opened the package, I saw that it was a malt-colored dress, and the splendid embroidery on it was very plain. But looking at the texture, and even the densely embroidered silk threads at the corners of the skirt, it is unusual to see.

Knowing it, the previous brilliance was immediately hidden a little, but it did not hide the noble temperament at all, but it was very in line with Ran's mind. The headdress seems to be made of crystal, and it only feels brilliant at a glance, but with this dress, it has the same effect. It is clear that there is no publicity up and down now, but it is like a shock.

Zi Ying looked at it and sighed. She saw that Ran liked this outfit even more, although she always felt that it was a pity that it covered Ran's original appearance, but Zi Ying could also guess Ran's concerns after all, so she asked the maid to serve the outfit sent by Huan'er.

There is a bit of indescribable taste in his heart, looking at this decoration, Huan'er seems to know his thoughts. But how did he estimate his size without a bad score?

On the day of the pomegranate flower meeting, I only wore the malt-colored dress, and Bizhu still had a simple bun on her head like usual, and the jade hairpin was inserted, and she still had long bangs on her forehead, almost covering her eyebrows. Other than that, there are no other decorations on the body.

Zi Ying looked at her in a blandly dress, a little deflated, but she couldn't resist her insistence, so the two of them took their maids, bid farewell to their mothers, and boarded the carriage in front of the general's mansion.

This is the first time that Ran has officially met people as the daughter of the general, and I just hope that the more low-key the better. Zi Ying briefly told Ran in the car about the situation and rules of the previous pomegranate flower fairs, and this road was not lonely.

It is said that this year's pomegranate will be different from previous years, and it just so happened that the envoys of various countries who came to Luan to celebrate the birthday of King Luan heard that the pomegranate flower meeting was imminent, and they were very interested.

The pomegranate flower festival is held in different locations every year, but this year it is arranged in the garden of the prince of Nanwang, not far from the general's mansion. When the Ziying sisters arrived, there was already a hustle and bustle in front of the garden, and I think there were already many other noble ladies who had arrived first. The subordinates guarding in front of the garden gate had already recognized the carriage of the General's Mansion, and the two maidservants waited respectfully outside the carriage, replacing Ziying's maid and helping the Ziying sisters down.

Seeing that the gate of the garden was full of female dependents, it was speculated that these young ladies had entered from different garden gates in order to avoid suspicion. Although Zi Ying is not as good as Ran and often goes out, she is more familiar with this pomegranate flower after all, so she has been holding Ran's hand after getting out of the car, it is really like a sister taking her sister out of the house.

"Ziying, you're here too?" Clearly, the two were about to enter the park, but they heard a coquettish shout behind them. Looking back, I saw that in the carriage that arrived later, a young lady was lifting the curtain and talking to Ziying, with peach blossoms on her face.

This young lady's style is very different from Ziying's, I saw her wave her hand at the slave guarding under the carriage, and then jumped out of the carriage by herself. Looking at her movements, she doesn't seem to have learned kung fu, but she is also naughty on weekdays, so she can't see the person in front of her.

"Jiaoyun, you still don't care about it like this, what if you fall?" Zi Ying shouted hurriedly on the side.

The young lady walked up to the two of them in three or two steps, and muttered, "Why are you so squeamish?" She saw Ran standing aside, her apricot eyes widened, and she took Ran's hand with surprise on her face and said, "This is Sister Ran, right?" I have been to your house several times, and I have always heard your sister praise you, but you are often not at home, so you are never seen. Today, I see that she is really a beauty, it really makes me envious, how good would it be if I also had such a delicate sister? ”

Zi Ying smiled and said with a smile on the side: "Your fiery temper always doesn't change, don't scare my sister!" ”

"I see that this girl of yours is much cooler than you, she really looks like the daughter of a general, she will definitely not mind!" Jiaoyun seems to be used to joking with Ziying, so he doesn't show mercy under his mouth.

"Sister, this is Sister Jiaoyun, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she has never been a young lady, you must not learn from her!" Although Zi Ying was also unforgiving, she looked at the two of them and knew that the two of them must have a deep relationship, and they didn't care about each other.

"Sister Jiaoyun has a straightforward temperament, so people can't help but want to get close when they see it. Being able to meet my sister is a clear creation! Seeing that Jiaoyun was wearing a pink and yellow skirt, but there was no bun on her head, and her black hair was tied into a braid, which was dotted with a few pearls. There is also a string of pearl beads around his neck, and although the whole person looks gorgeous, it is not dazzling. Especially with that round face, it is even more noble.

Although there is no Ziying's style in Jiaoyun's gestures, after all, he was born in the prime minister's mansion, and his bearing is self-contained, although his eyebrows are full of affinity, but people never dare to peep at it.

Ziying and Jiaoyun talked and laughed, and carried Ran into the garden left and right, because she knew that it was the first time to participate in the pomegranate flower party, and she had never been to the Shizi's Mansion, and Jiaoyun was very attentive all the way to Ran Ran to introduce the scenery in the garden. Zi Ying quipped on the side: "I don't know, I thought it was your sister!" ”

Although he didn't show it on his face, he really liked this first acquaintance in his heart. The other party is the daughter of the prime minister's house, and he knows his identity, but he has no derogatory intentions, and his face is always full of affection. Moreover, there is no pretentiousness in Jiaoyun's gestures, he is really a person in temperament, but he is a little closer than Ziying.

Besides, the scenery of the Southern Wang's Mansion is very different from the General's Mansion. It is speculated that this son must be a person with a delicate temperament, and now the layout of this mansion shows a graceful style everywhere. Xiangfei bamboo is dotted with winding gravel paths, and there are gurgling streams in front of the scattered pavilions. Although the garden is densely shaded, there are no tall varieties of trees, so there is no surprise of one step and one scene in the huge garden, but there is a feeling of unobstructed view. And the flowers and trees such as rich peonies and peonies that are loved by ordinary nobles have no trace in this garden.

I feel elegant and quiet, poetic and picturesque, but I prefer the latter compared to the scenery of the general's mansion. And from the things and people, I clearly and faintly feel that the owner of this garden is afraid that there is a bit of femininity.

While watching the scenery, he listened to Ziying and the two gossiping, but saw a pomegranate forest coming into view, and secretly thought that this garden should also be suitable for the scene. It's just that at this time, most of the pomegranate flowers have already bloomed, but the pomegranate fruits of this tree are even more eye-catching.

When the three of them were praising the durian fruit, they might as well hear a sharp mockery.

"Yo, Kyaukyun, I didn't lose enough face last year, but this year I'm here to join in the fun?" The one who spoke was a woman in a splendid red robe, with an embroidered handkerchief covering the corners of her mouth, and a maid in the other hand, with a weak posture, but her face was full of disdain. Looking at her at about seventeen or eighteen years old, her head is full of gold and silver hairpins, although her face is not stunning, but this outfit also makes her very eye-catching in this garden full of spring.

It's just that this woman is so sharp and mean, and she is the daughter of Xiangmen who is sarcastic, so she must have an extraordinary identity.

"Lord Hongyun", Zi Ying nodded to her, as if she said hello, probably because she didn't want a few people to make too much trouble.

Jiaoyun didn't pay attention to Ziying's kindness, and had already spoken in her mouth: "My sister has always known that her talent is shallow, and she originally came to help her friends. It's just that my sister is so old, but this year I don't want to be slapped again! ”

"You!" The Red Cloud County Lord was ridiculed by Kyaukyun like this, his face turned red, and he seemed to be extremely angry in his heart. Seeing that his eyes were sharp, he saw that the hand that the county lord was holding the maid was actually quickly pinched on the maid's arm, probably to relieve his anger.

The maid was obviously in pain, and tears instantly appeared in the corners of her eyes, but after all, due to the authority of the county lord, she didn't say a word, and she didn't even move her arms, so she must have been used to it for a long time.

Ran sighed secretly.
