Chapter 240: Perversity
The fifteenth day of the first month is the Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, which is the first major festival at the beginning of the new year after the Spring Festival. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info people put up lanterns to celebrate the Lantern Festival, a night, not only there are lanterns on the street, even the home is also decorated with colorful colors, so beautiful!
The lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival were pasted by the girls in the house, and they had already begun to prepare as early as the year before, and they were all taken out today, so they were all hung up before the dinner, and the maids and maids in the house were busy for the dinner.
When it was getting dark, Xia Xueer wrote a reply letter, and watched the pigeon spread its wings and fly away, and then smiled comfortably. It just so happened that the maid came to deliver dinner.
"Miss is wearing this to go out?"
Dongmei came over with a Shu brocade cloak embroidered with peonies, and asked Xia Xue'er, she glanced sideways, the clothes picked by Cuizhu were impeccable, and the color was the pearl white she liked, but today was different from the past, and she wanted to wear it more festively.
waved his hand and asked, "I remember that there is also a cloak of Shu brocade, which is embroidered with crimson acacia, right?" ”
Cuizhu thought for a moment, and then replied: "There is such a thing, but the young lady doesn't like that color, so she presses it on the ......."
"Let's change it!"
Xia Xue'er interrupted her, and she nodded and went to look for clothes.
The crimson cloak was cut last year, Shu brocade is the birthday of the Pingyang Hou Mansion with the gift, after inviting the best embroidery girl in the capital to embroider her favorite acacia flower with gold thread, the neckline is inlaid with fox fur, in addition, the cloak is also sewn into a lot of gemstone agate, after wearing it can be said to be shining, glamorous!
Xia Xue'er already has a creamy skin, and the crimson color makes her skin even whiter. At her flower-like age, it is also the time to wear red and green and dress herself well, but she prefers to be a little more elegant, and her clothes are mainly in light colors such as water blue and white, so the eye-catching crimson cloak has not been worn three times so far, and can only be pressed to the bottom of the box.
Cuizhu turned over for a while before finding it, shook it open and looked at it carefully, and then leaned to the tip of the nose and smelled the smell, I thought that this dress would have a mildew smell when it was long, but fortunately this wardrobe is sandalwood, insect prevention, moisture removal is also very good, although this crimson cloak has been placed at the bottom of the cabinet for a long time, but there is no peculiar smell, but it is also contaminated with the fragrance of sandalwood, as if it has been specially smoked!
The snow outside had melted, but the temperature still showed no signs of warming, so Xianglan handed her the charcoal stove into her hands and went out.
The lanterns that had been hung earlier had all been lit, and there was no need to light the lanterns along the way. The hands of the grandmother and maid in the house are really skillful, little goldfish, little swallows, lotus seats...... Hanging in mid-air one by one, there are all shapes and colors, which is really beautiful!
Xia Xueer couldn't help but recall the scene at the Zhao family during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and for a while she missed her grandparents and cousin Wan!
The dinner was set in the front hall, when Xia Xue'er arrived, the old lady, father and brother had not yet arrived, and the rest were chatting and talking, as soon as she entered, she became the focus of the audience, Mrs. Xia naturally saw her daughter at a glance, and a touch of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't often wear such a bright color, and then returned to her gentleness and beckoned to her.
"Mother." Xia Xueer stepped forward and gave a salute.
The rest of the aunts also stood up, and when she was seated, they sat down again, but none of them had any interest in talking, and only sat down in their places.
Is there anyone in this house who doesn't know the temper preferences of the third lady? Even on her own birthday, she refused to wear red, is there no clue to such an abnormality today?
I heard that Mrs. Xia has seen a family affair for women, the man is not a high-ranking official or a noble, just a businessman who travels north and south, his family background is not bad, it seems to be surnamed Su, but before this, he has never heard of a wealthy businessman surnamed Su, but he is a nameless junior, and I don't know what she likes about the Su family, and she can marry her daughter like this!
The news of Xia Xue'er and the Su family's marriage came out of nowhere, at the beginning, everyone always felt that this news was a little ridiculous, but since last year's third lady's birthday, the Su family's son had saved the life of the third lady on the streets of the capital and was invited to the table by the lord After the matter was revealed, some people began to doubt the letter.
Moreover, the third lady and the sixth prince have had a scandal for so long, and the sixth prince also came to the house to find her, and the two have a deep personal relationship, but they have never decided to get married, so it can be seen that this news is very likely to be true!
Xia Xue'er could also feel that since she entered the hall, the atmosphere around her body was not so light, and there were even many pairs of eyes that always looked in the direction she was, intentionally or unintentionally. I couldn't help frowning slightly.
Mrs. Xia directly ignored those gazes, only patted her daughter's hand, and asked, "I see that you are in a good mood today, but you have fun playing with Miss Yusi in the afternoon?" ”
"Miss Fourth has two new paintings, and invited me to enjoy them together, both of which are Gu Kaizhi's heirloom paintings, and I am naturally happy to be fortunate enough to have a look!"
Xia Xue'er loves painting, which is a well-known thing, at this time her voice is not too loud, but everyone here can hear it, firstly, to dispel the suspicions in their hearts, and secondly, it can be regarded as a beginning, which is intended to remind everyone that it is time to chat or chat, and not only pay attention to the affairs of others.
Seeing that the aunts and ladies had turned their heads, she leaned forward, attached herself to her mother's ear, and whispered, "Shizun has entered the city, and it is estimated that he will visit the palace tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Xia was also spontaneously happy after hearing this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows climbed with unconcealable joy, and she glanced at her daughter with a smile, no wonder she was in such a good mood!
In her heart, Zhen Tianxiong is no different from her mother's family, this relationship that has sprouted since the cardamom years, although it has been buried deep in her heart to this day, she has become one of the most important people in her life!
What's more, he came to Beijing this time to propose marriage to Su Qi, and he was carrying the happiness of his daughter's life, how could she not be happy? !
When everyone was chatting happily, the old lady came, and after seeing Xia Xue'er's dress, she was also surprised, and stared at her for a long time, until her father and eldest brother were late, she withdrew her gaze, and after entering the banquet, she also let Xia Xue'er sit beside her very abnormally, and she was also quite taken care of during the banquet, and asked the maid to serve her vegetables several times. Even in the fireworks show after the dinner, the old lady pulled her to stand beside her. (To be continued.) )
