Chapter 45: Taste Cold
At the end of the second day, Qiao Wei called Jinyi to get up.
Cai Jing came in with water, and Jin Yi was rinsing her mouth with green salt. After cleaning her face, Cai Jing asked what kind of bun she was combing today, Jin Yi was a little dazed, and she didn't pay attention to the fashion in Jianye City.
Fortunately, now there is a Wanfutong Qianmo, she and Cai Jing discussed, the two of them worked together, and soon combed a bun of clouds for Jinyi. The hair on the head is tightly tied up at the back of the head, pulling out the cloud-curled Manshu style, and there are still some hair strands hanging down on both sides, looking charming and soft.
A few delicate and small dotted hairpin flowers on the side of the bun are just rightly embellished.
Cai Jing picked up a jade fan and shook it, Qian Mo shook his head on the side and said that it was not good, and selected a jade hairpin inlaid with purple violet stone in the ornament box, and gently inserted it into the cloud temples.
Jin Yi looked at herself in the mirror, and the purple Yingluo on the head of the jade hairpin echoed her purple eyes, making her appearance much softer than that of a woman in the Central Plains. She nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Qian Mo approvingly.
The clothes to be worn today have been smoked overnight on the bamboo smoker cage last night. Qiao Wei took off her clothes, and the faint fragrance of sinking water was moisturizing, and the precious fragrance entered the clothes.
Lilac purple rhyme embroidered double victory pattern brocade, pipa wide sleeves, the right collar embroidered with woven gold arch pattern. The lower body is a autumn-colored water-patterned Babaoluo skirt, and the long skirt is swaying to the ground. It is noble and elegant, but also quiet and elegant.
The Huan family was the most prominent magnate of the dynasty, and in order to show respect for the lord's family, today's clothing is more dignified and solemn than usual.
Qian Mo talked about a lot of things in the inner house of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duchess of Zhenguo Xue is over fifty years old, and the family has five rooms, of which the second room is the old lady's concubine, so now she is the housekeeper of the second lady of Huan. Huan Yanyan is the daughter of the second lady, and she is also the pearl of the pampered palm of the Huan Mansion.
Jin Yi actually resisted the banquet of these nobles in his heart, and everyone's eyes were always a little strange on his face, as if he was curious to explore, and seemed to be alienated and avoided. She sighed silently, since she chose to come back, these human interactions could not be avoided, so it was better to deal with them indifferently.
At breakfast, she didn't have much appetite, and just watched Jinru eat sweetly.
She was wearing a silk dress with a red silk embroidery technique and grape pattern today, which looked more solemn than usual, Jin Yi suddenly smiled and whispered to her, "The little grandfather of the ancestral family is also coming today, right?" ”
Jinru blushed, and after a while, he showed some smugness, "I heard my brother say that he plays polo very well." ”
Jin Yi looked at her with a soft color in her eyes. I thought a little melancholy: If I hadn't chosen this path, would I have grown up like her, growing up in pampering and care, laughing and making trouble, happy and angry, without suppressing my inner feelings and hiding them under a calm complexion.
Next to the shadow wall connecting the inner and outer mansions, just like the number of people who went to Yishan Hall to prepare for the meeting that day, except for the fourth uncle and mother Xie, the other three ladies and ladies were all dressed up luxuriously and exquisitely. Only Jinxiu is dressed a little low-key today, but it is a robe embroidered with passion flower pattern and flower brocade, with eight Luo skirts in pine color, which looks delicate and lovely.
Jin Yi saw her dress today, and she had some realization in her heart, at this time, Huan Yanyan was almost a foregone conclusion that she would be the crown princess, and Jinxiu was dressed like this, did it mean that she was willing to surrender? I feel funny, what can I do if I am unwilling? Compared with the power of the Marquis of Qingrong, he can't catch up with the prince.
When I entered the garden of the Zhenguo Mansion, there were already many people coming.
Huan Mansion on the side of the outer house, specially built such a large garden, with a color of water mill group wall winding up, the white stone inside is steep, build up heavy green ridges, vertical and horizontal arches, there are moss into spots, vines and roses are covered, there are green and white jade paved with a quiet winding path, extending to the strange flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions in the garden.
Jin Yi and Jin Ru followed Xu and the others all the way inward, talking and laughing with the ladies and ladies who came to each mansion all the way.
The last time I saw it in Muxiyuan, I almost all arrived today. There are still some people who have never met, or who have not spoken last time, and Jinyi stepped forward to greet them one by one. Thanks to her excellent memory, she has recognized most of the daughters of the family in the city in a short time.
Today, she came with Qianmo and Qiaowei, and with Qianmo quietly mentioning it on the side, there was no joke about calling the wrong person once, which is also a blessing.
Huanfu's Pinhan Party has always been a grand event in Jianye City, and among the ladies who attended today, almost all of the southern families came, or like last time, they were all surrounded by Mrs. Lin, the eldest lady of the right minister's Wang family, and her family was faintly headed.
The third lady of the Qin family, An, is in a cold noise with her mother's family, Huainan An's is a scholarly family of Nanshi, since marrying into the Qin family, there are not many people who have fallen in love with her, today she is smiling, and the smile on her face is much easier than in the past.
Most of the women in the south are more delicate and gentle, not as luxurious and beautiful as the women in the north, but they also have their own merits and are comparable.
Jin Yi saw that there was a slender woman standing next to Mrs. Lin, slightly older, as if she was sixteen or seventeen years old, still wearing her unmarried boudoir hair bun, wearing a stand-up collar top with honey color swallow color patterns, her expression was a little different from the beauty of a southern woman, but she had a bit of a heroic and refreshing atmosphere.
couldn't help but ask Jin Ru curiously, and Jin Ru smiled and secretly told her, "That's Zi Chen, the eldest queen of the Right Xiang family, and she is the most active of the women who pursue my cousin...... I heard that she was originally a delicate and gentle daughter who adhered to her etiquette, but because she liked my cousin, she went to learn riding and archery, and secretly asked the guards in the house to teach her martial arts. The year before last, he forced his father, Wang Xiang, to ask the emperor for marriage, but my cousin disagreed...... I'm almost seventeen now, and I haven't married yet......"
When Jin Yi heard this, her face couldn't help but change, and she asked a little funny, "How many women in this city are pursuing your cousin?" ”
Jinru shook her head, "There are too many, but the one who makes the most trouble is her and Xia Xinyue of the Xia family, oh, the third lady of the Huan family, Huan Yuanyuan, is also one." ”
Jin Yi exhaled, and Qiao Wei on the side also widened her eyes.
Mrs. Ying walked over with a middle-aged lady in her arms, Jin Ru saw it, her face was a little red, she stepped forward to greet Mrs. Ying honestly, and bowed to the noble lady, saying, "Mrs. Xian is well." ”
Mrs. Xian is Zu Juntian's fourth aunt, Zu Juntian's parents died early, and he has always been taken care of by Mrs. Xian, like half a mother, so Jinru saw her, extraordinarily gentle and gentle.
Mrs. Xian loves her very much, but she wants to avoid suspicion, for fear that others will say that Jinru does not know how to be stable, so she only patted her hand lightly and smiled: "I didn't say a few more words to you last time, and we will have more time together next year." ”
Jinru blushed, lowered her head and was embarrassed to speak.
Mrs. Ying also knew that she wanted to avoid suspicion, so she didn't stay longer, and after a few words with Jin Yihan, she called Jinru's cousins over, and she went with Mrs. Zu to talk to others.
The third lady of the Fan family, Min Peng, winked affectionately at Jinyi and motioned for her to look. Jin Yi turned her head and saw Xu Shi and Jinxiu, talking to the main family Mrs. Man with a smile on her face.
