Chapter 41: The Banquet of the County Lord
Early the next morning, not long after dawn, a little maid in Sister Shu's yard knocked on the door early, urging Lin Zhiyu to get up.
"Miss, the Chunyue girl in the yard of the eldest lady said that she reminded Miss to pay more attention today." When dressing up, Chu Yun seemed to remember something, and said to Lin Zhuyu, "Miss, will the county lord's banquet be dangerous today?" ”
"Oh, what kind of maid is Chunyue? But what else did you say? "Lin Zhuyu is interested, the people in the eldest lady's yard will remind themselves to be careful?
"It's a beautiful embryo, but there is no expression. Oh, miss, I remember, it seems to be the little girl in white that day that the tooth brought that day! "Chu Yun Dao, I don't know what the young lady asked a maid to do.
It turned out to be her! It was unusual to see that little girl that day, but I didn't know ...... Forget it, the time to come back sooner or later.
Under the service of Chu Yun and Hua Qian, Lin Zhiyu got up with panda eyes. It's not a little angry to get up naturally, what's the matter? Isn't he just a county lord? Since you want to go by yourself so much, it's so good, just go!
Washing and dressing, decals on the mirror, it has a unique flavor, and naturally as a 21st century person, how can you still lose to an ancient?
''The flowers are shallow, the beauty of a thousand powders, the rouge is not in a hurry, give me a dissolution in water first. ''Since you invite me over, you have to freshen up and dress up so that you can meet people, right?'' You can't lose the identity of the prime minister's concubine.
"Yes Miss," Hua Qian responded softly, turning around and going to fetch the rouge. Although I don't understand why the young lady melts the good rouge into the water, the slave dealer has an explanation, and the master's affairs are not to ask too much, just listen. Otherwise, the young lady will be unhappy, but she will punish herself.
Half an hour later, the makeup was finally completed, crystal clear, white and flawless, the eyes were like ink stones, the corners of the eyebrows were smiling, and the rouge between the lips was open, from thick to light, it was a good look, and the whole person was extremely delicate. A azure halo brocade round heart collar with dark flower sleeves, a floral gauze skirt with embroidered trim on the floor, an aqua blue engraved silk double happiness pattern Bixia Russell face, and the last soft cyan semi-auspicious cloud purse fell on the waist. It seems that the whole person is graceful and light, not eye-catching but pleasing to the eye. When the little maid saw it, she couldn't help but praise Miss for being so good-looking! Why didn't you realize it before?
"Hatsuyun, do you think this is okay?" Lin Zhuyu is not sure if the ancients can accept his own dress!
"Miss was originally beautiful, but now it looks better, rouge is beautiful, Miss is even more beautiful!" Chu Yun praised from the bottom of his heart.
Sister Shu is afraid that she will regret calling herself over! But now I can't help her!
At the beginning of the end of the morning, at the gate of Cuiwei Courtyard, the aunt Yu Niang next to the second aunt was already waiting at the door, seeing Lin Zhiyu with the big girl Chuyun, Hua Qian took small steps to the door, at first she was still happy in her heart, and when Lin Zhiyu approached, after inviting An, Yu Niang secretly looked at Lin Zhuyu dressed up, and was taken aback! These two young ladies can't see the middle and upper posture on weekdays, but today they are so ethereal!
The little maid in the courtyard saw that the second lady was coming, so she naturally opened the curtain and reported.
"Sister, you're here, the county lord has been waiting for a long time." I saw the sister coming out of the house in a hurry, followed by the little maid in a hurry. Dressed in a fiery red brocade robe, wearing a rich hairpin, and a purple jade bracelet around his wrist, if you look closely, it is not the red gold inlaid purple jade bracelet rewarded by the queen's mother.
What do you mean by coming? I don't know what time it is! It's not the beginning of the morning, it's only 7 o'clock, and besides, this feast doesn't start until noon, and the ladies and ladies won't come until 10 o'clock, so what are you doing now?
However, as a knowledgeable and educated modern person, Lin Zhuyu chose to remain silent. "The county lord has all prepared this banquet, but what is there to help?"
Listening to Lin Zhuyu's words, Sister Shu looked at Lin Zhuyu carefully. Dressed in green clothes, the prosperous long skirt seems to be dressed up in an ordinary Miss Beijing, but why do you always feel that this sister is particularly charming today! I had the urge to look at it again and more.
"No, no, oh, yes, sister, come with me to see if the gifts I am going to give to the ladies are appropriate?" Looking at Lin Zhuyu in front of him, he felt that he didn't know where else to speak, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Yes, Lord Shire." Lin Zhuyu doesn't care.
Inside the house, it should be a place for the ladies and ladies of each family to rest temporarily. Sister Shu took out the gift she was going to give today, and the meaning of showing off was self-evident.
"Sister, how about you see this poem adding a painting to Xiao'er? Xiao'er is a famous talented girl in our capital, she must like such a gift, and besides, it was made by me, the county lord. There was a sense of pride in his words.
Lin Zhuyu followed the scroll opened by Sister Shu and saw a whole masterpiece of Sister Shu! The content is mediocre, and the song "Holy King" made in the palace is not at the same level at all, and the inscription is impressively four big characters: Lord of Huayi.
"Since it is written by the county lord himself, it is naturally good." Since Sister Shu wants to hear Ying He, it's just lip service. Such calligraphy and painting were sent to Yang Yuxiao, the daughter of the military department, I wonder if the other party will be like swallowing a fly? But when did this Yang Yuxiao get so close to Sister Shu?
"That's nature." Sister Shu was very proud, and then showed her gifts one by one, mostly calligraphy and paintings, it seems that she is really confident in her calligraphy and paintings, but I don't know how to get so many calligraphy and paintings in just two days of this palace banquet.
Finally, there is a blue brocade gold pendant jade purse at the bottom of the box, embroidered with a semi-auspicious cloud pattern, and the purse does not seem to be very suitable for women. Lin Zhuyu always felt familiar when he saw the pattern, and when he looked down, he saw his purse, isn't this the pattern on his purse? And the embroidery method is extremely complicated, Nangu in the Jiangnan passing by the opportunity to embroider, he also joked that this embroidery method is good, Nangu seems to say that this embroidery method is their own original, others can't learn it!
"County Lord, what is this purse......" Lin Zhuyu looked at the purse in Sister Shu's hand and asked casually.
Sister Shu didn't speak at first, but after a while, seeing that Lin Zhuyu didn't mean to continue asking, she answered the conversation and said, "This purse looks good, right?" But my aunt carefully prepared it for me, and my mother will come today, so you'll know when the time comes. As he spoke, he caressed the purse in his hand and cherished it extraordinarily.
Thinking about it, the second aunt instructed the sister not to say anything about the purse, but the sister couldn't help showing off when she saw Lin Zhuyu. But fortunately, showing off here, Lin Zhiyu knew that today's banquet would not be peaceful again.
"The county lord has such a big face, even the lady concubine has been invited, so I don't know if the six princes will come?" In order to confirm his conjecture, Lin Zhuyu still asked with a casual look.
"That's natural! Doesn't my sister know that my father sent invitations to the princes yesterday after the morning court? I heard that not only the prince, but also the seventeenth prince will also come! Sister Shu is showing off again, as if it is a great honor for the princes to come to their banquet.
The embroidery method of a unique Nangu Association!
A man's purse!
A Six Princes with infinite elegance!
A lady who represents a royal witness!
Lin Zhuyu almost already knows what kind of drama it is, what is secretly destined for life, what kind of affection has been paid for a long time, in a coincidence, when the human and material evidence is complete, he will definitely not be able to refute it, so the rumors in the capital these days seem to be reasonable. In this way, he married the sixth prince as a concubine as an unsightly person, and won over the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the most beneficial person must be Concubine Hui, for the second aunt, if she ruins her life, she is afraid that she will wake up with a smile in her dreams, right? blames myself for reading too many novels, can these backyard resentful ladies have less routines and more sincerity?
