Section 46 Plum Blossom Appreciation
Tong Xiao gave the pattern she had thought of to Hua Niang, asked her to send it to Wang's mother, and explained that she must not make it too fancy. Tong Xiao's worries are also reasonable, people here will inevitably feel that dressing up fancy is the only way to look festive, and she has never thought of being in the limelight in her heart.
In other words, some people want to be low-key does not mean that they are willing to be low-key, and the daughters and ladies of other houses have long been busy, if it is really as the old man guessed, then he must let his daughter win the jackpot that day, so as to leave a good impression on the mother and the princes. What clothes are good, they look noble, what jewelry is good, they seem to be worthy of their daughters, those wives are so busy that they almost moved the entire capital home.
Tong Xiao listened to the gossip that Hua Niang heard outside, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled slightly, these people are in a hurry to enter the high-walled compound, where is it so good? If you ask her what she means, she would rather marry a man from an ordinary family, with a simple family and an ordinary life.
Hua Niang also said that as long as it is an official, there are tailors in the family who are responsible for the clothes of the master of the house, I don't know, after these people wear them out, will they be like the flowers in the garden, competing with each other?
Tong Xiaoxiao said that when did Hua Niang like to listen to gossip? Hua Niang didn't care, if they were not well-informed, how could they serve their masters, although the gossip may not be true, but there is no wind and waves, and there may not be these things.
Tong Xiao asked Hua Niang to find the purse embroidered before, and see if she brought a few with her that day in case of emergency.
Hua Niang went to the side room, the room where Tong Xiao specially put things, took out the purses that she had embroidered for Miss before from the drawer, and put them on the table in front of Tong Xiao one by one.
Tong Xiao's eyes lingered on these purses, and she chose a purse embroidered with plum blossoms and took it out, Hua Niang was very puzzled, didn't Miss say that she didn't need something with a plum blossom pattern that day, why did she choose such a purse?
After choosing the things, let the flower girl put the rest back in their place. At night, Tong Xiao took out his purse and put something in it, put it away, and put it in his storage ring.
Meditate and settle down, gather the spiritual power in his body, Tong Xiao is engrossed in his own practice world, and the spiritual power in the dantian is also accumulating more and more, if it continues, I believe that the time for a breakthrough will be in the near future.
After freshening up, he sat on the bed and took out the herb set that he had stolen before, although he had seen it backwards before, the various alchemy herbs recorded in the book and the alchemy set that he saw later could be said to be a set, if the two were combined, it was indeed possible to refine a lot of pills that would help him cultivate, but he always felt that he was still lacking something, and he was not happy.
The nights in winter are much colder than the day, even though Tong Xiao is not very afraid of the cold because of his practice, he still shrunk his neck, took off his coat, and hid in the quilt.
Although the two elders have the intention to stay with themselves for a while before they consider getting married, they can't run away after all, what if they really can't choose when the time comes? His soul is a human, but his blood and body are indeed rabbits, so he can't really marry a human, right? Isn't that hurting others? She is not Bai Suzhen, who has cultivated for thousands of years.
It's scary to think about, how could I encounter such a multiple-choice question in this life.
The more I think about it, the more messy my head becomes, so it's better to get a good night's sleep first: in the dream, there are two children playing by a sparkling lake, the little girl is only five or six years old, and the boy is in his teens, the sun is shining on the lake, like scattered gold, and the surrounding environment is smoky, like a fairyland. The two children have red lips and white teeth, and their eyelashes often flicker, like fans on both sides. Tong Xiao looked at the two children as if they had come out of a New Year's painting.
"Sister Yue'er, will you marry me when you grow up?" The little boy looked at the little girl with big eyes.
The little girl snapped her hands slightly and clapped happily, "Okay, okay, we can be together every day." ”
The boy touched the little girl's head dotingly, and continued to watch her play happily.
When Tong Xiaoyi heard the word Yue'er, his face turned white with fright, is it such a coincidence? Looking at the girl's eyes again, Tong Xiao gasped, the familiar eyebrows and eyes were not exactly what he saw in the mirror every day?
Frightened excessively, Tong Xiaoda woke up in a cold sweat in winter: What kind of dreams are these? What is the connection with yourself?
Tong Xiao, who didn't fall asleep again because of this dream all night, looked wilted when he woke up in the morning. I washed my face with cold water, and I wanted to refresh myself.
On the day of the plum banquet, Tong Xiao was pulled out of the quilt by the flower girl and prepared for her to freshen up and change clothes. After grooming, Mama Li said that Mrs. had already done it and was waiting for Miss, so Tong Xiao also hurriedly put on a mink cloak and went out.
Liu from a distance saw Tong Xiao coming, today Tong Xiao wore a pale pink dress, tied a belt of the same color, the neckline and cuffs embroidered with jasmine patterns, plus the original lively character, Tong Xiao is even more delicate.
Liu's eyebrows were almost undetectable, and he frowned slightly: If the spot on his daughter's face can be removed, then the person who asks for marriage will step through the threshold of the General's Mansion? But soon there was something else in my heart: if it was a man who only liked his daughter's beauty, he was not worthy of marrying her at all.
Liu squinted his eyes: When did the spots on Tong Xiao's face fade a lot?
"What are you looking at? Is it that I am not wearing the right thing today? Tong Xiaoxiao asked.
"How can my daughter be dressed inappropriately? The old woman is looking at the fact that a flower has grown in my general's mansion. Liu quipped.
Tong Xiao knew that Liu was making fun of her, so she didn't follow, "My mother must be dazzled, where there is only one flower, I can clearly see two." ”
Liu couldn't hear Tong Xiao's words, and a red cloud appeared on his rare face, "You are bold, you dare to joke about your mother, see if I don't tell your father, let him punish you for thinking about the past." ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Let Mama Li talk about it, is my mother getting younger and younger now? Tong Xiao looked at Mama Li as if she were verifying.
Mama Li smiled lightly, Mrs. is indeed getting younger and younger, and I don't know if she has taken any panacea, even the old man is slowly changing, originally the old man already has gorgeous hair on his head, but when the lady combed the old man's hair some time ago, she found that the white hair was turning black.
Liu hurriedly pulled Tong Xiao into the carriage, and if he stayed any longer, he didn't know what else he would say.
Tong Xiao let Liu pull into the carriage, and when he got into the carriage, he helped Liu.
When I arrived in the palace, there were already a lot of official women, who came in groups, chatting with each other. Seeing Tong Xiao coming in, since they were all silent, they all paid attention to Tong Xiaoxing.
"Why is she here?" I don't know whose young lady whispered.
"Why can't she come? She is also a young lady in the General's Mansion, although she is not biological, but the General's family raised her as her own, besides, last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival, they also saved Concubine Yun. Another girl said.
"It was also her luck that allowed her to save Concubine Yun." The tone of the unkind voice was as if anyone could save it, and I didn't see you all jumping out of the situation at that time, didn't you all hide in the corner and scream?
The plum garden is very large, in the middle of the plum garden built a few spacious rooms, has been prepared to appreciate the people to watch, the equipment in the room is readily available, because the plum blossoms can only open in winter, so the room is repaired with a warm pavilion, just for these girls to rest, chat.
There are many varieties of plum blossoms in the plum garden, pink, red, full of branches, indeed blooming very well, there is snow contrast, plum blossoms appear more delicate. Tong Xiao also likes plum blossoms, walking under the tree, is it a smell of flowers. She didn't care about the fingers of those young ladies at all, she knew her own business, and she sneered at them.
Liu followed the ladies to another warm pavilion, where plum blossoms could also be seen, but not in the center of the plum garden.
