Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparing for the Trip
Several young ladies in the mansion got the news and knew that they were going to attend the Lantern Festival on the 15th day after tomorrow, and they were going to attend the gathering of the county lord of Qianqian, and they all began to prepare.
Even Mrs. Wu came forward to bring everyone together and specially advised the matters that need attention.
"Remember, right? This is the party of the lord of Qianqian, and there are many other young ladies here, so you must not lose your courtesy. ”
"Mother, don't worry, I will pay more attention, our Wu family has always been very strict, and nothing will go wrong."
Smiling at Mrs. Wu, Wu Tingrou hurriedly reassured, and at the same time turned her head to look at Wu Tingcheng, Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu.
"Yes, aunt, you don't have to worry."
"Madame, don't worry, we will definitely pay attention, and we won't lose our manners."
The three of them hurriedly stood up and assured Mrs. Wu.
Such a rare opportunity to be able to connect with the county lord, they didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Soon two days passed, and when they got up in the morning, Cuiping and Cuizhi surrounded Wu Tianrou and dressed up.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, just comb your hair casually, the party is at night, and the lantern festival will start at the beginning of the unitary time when the sun sets, what are you going to do with my makeup so early."
Helplessly, Wu Tianrou commanded Cui Ping to comb herself into a comfortable simple bun, and changed into home clothes, so she went to Mrs. Wu's Xishoutang and went to accompany Mrs. Wu to breakfast.
Mrs. Wu was very happy at breakfast, and when everyone came to say hello to Mrs. Wu, Wu Tianrou followed Mrs. Wu to her yard.
Accompanied Mrs. Wu to listen to the reports of the next person for a while, and helped her calculate the accounts for a while, until it was almost time for lunch, Wu Tianrou returned to Yunxiang Courtyard.
"Miss is tired, during this time, there is a young lady to help Mrs. manage family affairs, and Mrs. is also a lot easier."
Helping Wu Tianrou take off her cloak and coat, Cuiping hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea.
"There's nothing tiring or tired, if you can help some mothers, just help some, my mother is really hard to manage this big family on weekdays."
cleaned her hands with the basin brought by Cuizhi, and Wu Tianrou picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Miss is really getting more and more sensible, in fact, Miss helps Mrs. more, just learn more about how to manage the house, and when Miss gets married, she also has to manage the affairs of the family, and now she learns it, so she won't be in a hurry in the future."
Helping Cuiqin put the food in the food box in place, Mother Wu looked at Wu Tianrou and smiled, a person of her age would think about things in the long run.
"Well, what Wu's mother said is reasonable, and I actually think so too. Okay, I'll rest for a while after eating, and then you can pack up your things, and remember to call me up when the time comes. ”
After instructing a few people, Wu Tianrou finished her lunch elegantly and quickly, moved a little, and went back to sleep.
At night, there will be dragon and lion dances, troupes and lantern riddles, etc., but I am afraid that there will be a lot of things at that time, and she will have to recuperate first.
These young ladies and ladies are preparing for the evening activities here, and the officials and wives are also having gatherings on the other side, so naturally, the sons of the various provinces cannot be left behind.
Tonight, the princes also united together to hold a banquet in another famous restaurant, Wenyuan Building, known as the first floor of Anjing, and invited many children of official families to come to the party to play, which can be regarded as an alternative gathering of people's hearts and contacting feelings.
When the hour came to the beginning of Shen Shi, Wu Tianrou, who had been resting for about an hour, was gently awakened by Mother Wu.
Turned over and got up, washed up under the service of Cuiping and Cuizhi, and sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed himself with a Lingyun bun that a boudoir woman often combs.
"Miss, what jewelry are you going to wear today?"
Holding the three-layer jewelry box on the dresser, Cui Ping opened all the lids for Wu Tianrou to choose easily.
After a slight glance, Wu Tianrou raised her right hand and pointed towards the cabinet behind her.
"Go and get the ruby head face that the emperor gave you at the state banquet, I will choose two of them to wear, and the others will choose two pieces from the jewelry here."
"Yes."
Cui Ping nodded to Cui Zhi, who hurriedly walked to the cabinet and took out the wooden box containing the ruby head that the emperor had rewarded.
"What kind of clothes should the young lady wear?"
Handing the box to Wu Tianrou's eyes, Cuizhi opened the box.
"Just take a hairpin and a pair of earrings."
Raising her eyes, Wu Tianrou pointed to a ruby hairpin and a pair of ruby earrings in the box and said.
Cui Ping hurriedly took out the jewelry that Wu Tianrou had chosen and carefully put it on for her.
"What about the other jewelry?"
"I don't need anything, just take two hairpins and fix them on the bun, I don't need to be too glamorous."
Raising his hand to stroke his hair, Wu Tianrou commanded lightly.
"Okay, miss, what do you think of these two gold-inlaid jade plum hairpins?"
After taking the two plum blossom hairpins, Cui Ping asked Xiang Wu Tingrou.
"Yes, that's it."
Watching Cui Ping insert the plum blossom hairpin into her bun, Wu Tianrou shook her head at the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not glamorous, it's not very eye-catching, it's good."
"Miss, the clothes are ready, let's change them now."
Taking out the clothes she had prepared two days ago, Cuizhi put them on the bed.
Standing up, Wu Tianrou walked to the bed, and with the help of Cuiping and Cuizhi, changed her clothes.
Walking back to the bronze mirror and looking at herself, Wu Tianrou's face showed a smile.
I saw the person in the bronze mirror, wearing a pink skirt, looking ahead with a clever smile. Lingyun's towering bun is hairpinned with hairpins, and with ruby hairpins, it looks full of fairy spirit.
"Miss is so good-looking, remember to wear this cloak when you go out, and then put on this white fox collar, so that it is special to call Miss's dress."
took out the white fox collar and a pink cloak given by Wu Zixu, and Wu's mother looked at Wu Tianrou with a smile.
"Our young lady is just good-looking, hehe."
"Yes, Miss is just good-looking, no matter how she dresses up, she is beautiful."
Cui Ping and Cui Zhi on the side also smiled and praised, in their eyes, there is no one who can compare to their own young lady.
"Okay, I'm too embarrassed to go out if I talk about it any more."
Smiling and glancing at Cuiping and Cuizhi, Wu Tianrou raised her eyes to look at Cuiqin who walked in with a tray.
"Miss, let's eat something first, and I'll get a reply from Madame later."
Sitting down at the table and eating a little sweet and glutinous red bean porridge prepared by Cuiqin, Wu Tianrou took her out of Yunxiang Courtyard and walked towards Mrs. Wu's residence.
