Chapter 67: Huiyue sends a post
Early this morning, Lu Binrou got up, and as soon as she finished washing up and sat down in front of the dressing table, a little girl Lianpeng came to report that Sister Huiyue, who was next to the third lady Qi, was here.
Lu Binrou was sitting upright, combing her hair by the second-class girl Chundu, the soft green silk leaked like a waterfall, swaying slightly, and the halo on her hair flowed like water.
Mu Yang, who was cleaning up the bed on the side, had already gone out, and before he reached the door of the main house, the curtain was lifted, and Huiyue's face that had not spoken and smiled was revealed.
She smiled while stepping on the threshold: "Oh, why did you come out, I was clumsy, how dare the golden body of the girl from Muyang come over to make the curtain for me in person......"
Before she finished speaking, Mu Yang rushed over and screwed her, and scolded with a smile: "Sister Huiyue still has this temper, and she loves to make fun of people the most, and she has to make fun of people again after only a few days." ”
Hui Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "I have heard that the steward of King Ling has been promoted to become the chief steward of the twenty-four shops in Jiangnan that the eldest lady married. Didn't your old lady say that after the beginning of spring, you will also go to Suzhou? ”
Muyang didn't move his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Yes, Mrs. is compassionate, let my mother also go with my father." Not only my mother, but also my aunt and my two younger brothers will come with me. ”
Hui Yue's originally smiling face couldn't help but stiffen when she heard this, she walked in, patted Muyang's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Relax, left and right...... No matter how you go, you can't get past your mother. ”
Muyang didn't speak, nodded, Lu Binrou didn't pay attention to what the two of them were talking about in the back room, and at this time, seeing the two of them walking in one after the other, she turned her head and asked with a smile: "Sister Huiyue, it's so early in the morning, but Auntie has something to order?" ”
Hui Yue had already entered the door of the inner room at this time, and saluted: "Back to the girl, it is true that the lady has something to tell the girl." ”
She took out a post, respectfully handed it to Lu Binrou, and said with a smile: "It's the sixth girl from the Pingguo Mansion, three days later, she said that she was going to hold a birthday banquet, and she also gave the girl a post, and the third lady asked the slave maid to send it to you." ”
Lu Binrou took the post and said in surprise: "Didn't they all say they were sick and didn't go, why did they ...... this time?"
Huiyue said: "Last night, the third lady and the second lady had a detailed discussion, and both ladies said that the girl had been back in Beijing for a long time, and it was not good to always show up. It's just that this time, the third lady happened to have something to go to the palace that day, and she couldn't accompany the girl, so the girl took the girl with her, so be careful. ”
Lu Binrou nodded, indicating that she had no objection. It was originally a birthday banquet for juniors, and few elders would go except for those who were extremely familiar with each other. But...... Speaking of which, this is the first time she has gone to such a banquet alone since returning to Beijing.
At this time, Chundui had already combed her hair in a bun, holding the jewelry box and asking her which one she wanted to wear today. Lu Binrou glanced at it casually, pointed to the small jade gourd earrings, and two simple jasper hairpins on her head, with her hairstyle, although it was a homely dress, it was also exquisite.
She looked at the gilded post in her hand, it was very delicate and gorgeous, and it also exuded a faint fragrant fragrance. She muttered, "My mother is not going again? Really, she was relieved that her daughter was going out for the first time......"
Huiyue's ears were sharp, and she heard her whispered complaining clearly, she knew the reason why Mrs. Xie didn't go, but she was not Mrs. Xie's maid after all, and she didn't dare to talk more about other people's mothers and daughters, so she pretended not to hear it and just lowered her head and smiled.
Lu Binrou didn't really complain about her mother, she was just puzzled, and after speaking, she put this matter in her mind, she smiled: "I'm tired of Sister Huiyue, come over to me in person so early in the morning to send me a post, if you are not in a hurry to go back, you might as well finish your meal with Muyang and a few of them in my yard before leaving, a few girls here have been talking about not seeing you for several days." ”
At this time, Ning Xiang also came in, and before she could speak, Hui Yue saw her and smiled: "Oh girl, in front of Sister Ning Xiang, where does the slave dare to be that sister." But girl, the slave and maid really have to live up to your good intentions today, and the third lady is still waiting for the slave and maid to reply, since there is no problem on the girl's side, then the slave and maid will hurry back to return to the lady. ”
Lu Binrou nodded, Ning Xiang turned her head when she heard the words, and gave the winter solstice to another second-class girl who was setting up a meal in the hall to make a color, the winter solstice understood, and called a little girl in a low voice to get the food box, quickly picked up a few kinds of dim sum side dishes, put them on the table and handed them to Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang took it, stuffed the food box into Hui Yue's hand, and said with a smile: "The third lady's courtyard is far away, and the weather is cold, when you go back, it is estimated that the food left for you will be cold." Since you don't eat here, take these back, they are all made by Chef Liu in our small kitchen, and they are not rare. However, they are all items that are cooler and do not affect the taste, so you can take them back and pad them first. ”
Huiyue was stunned for a moment, the food box in her hand was heavy, and the smooth wooden handle was held in her hand, which had a cool touch.
However, she only felt that her heart was warm at this time, although she was the eldest girl next to the third lady, but Ning Xiang turned out to be a first-class proud person beside the old lady, basically except for waiting for the old lady, there was not much contact with them. At this time, a food box stuffed into the hand is not very valuable, but it is ironed into people's hearts.
No wonder the old lady likes incense so much, she thought, sure enough, she did it properly to ten points.
Sent away Huiyue, the master and servant looked at the invitation, the post itself is nothing special, the wonderful thing is that the person who wrote the post has a hairpin in his hand. Lu Binrou smiled: "This post was written by Miss Jin Liu herself? The pen is broken, the pen is short and long, and the hairpin flower rhyme is wonderful, and the six girls are really good. ”
Mu Yang was surprised: "The girl has been back for a while, I haven't seen the girl practice calligraphy, the slave maid is only a girl who has no interest in this, I didn't expect that she was still an expert, and she said the subtlety of the font of Mrs. Wei's name and Ji Ti. ”
Lu Bin said: "I can identify other people's fonts, and the imitation is also good, but I write it myself...... But it's not very well written. ”
Muyang said: "The girl is modest, didn't the practice of calligraphy start by copying everyone's calligraphy?" The girl can imitate the writing, and her own handwriting should not be bad, right? ”
Lu Binrou smiled and said, "The imitation I practiced at that time was not for the purpose of practicing calligraphy. Because he imitated the handwriting of too many people, he may have 'lost' his character in handwriting, and he is destined to write badly. ”
Muyang nodded, and Ning Xiang smiled on the side: "Girl, let's not talk about this practice first, think about it first, how does the girl want to dress up and dress at the banquet in three days?" ”
Lu Binrou thought for a while when she heard this: "Except for the last banquet in the palace, this is the first time I have gone out to socialize since I returned to Beijing, which is indeed a big event...... Well, after breakfast, I'll go to my grandmother's yard, and I'll ask what the sixth girl is. ”
Ning Xiang smiled and nodded in agreement, and the master and servant did not mention the meal separately.
