Volume 1 Chapter 47 Invitation
Master Li got the title, and Aunt Li was in a very good mood and smiled every day. At the moment, she is only worried about one thing, and that is the marriage. But before she could find Feng again, a piece of good news came.
Feng said that Mrs. Li came down and invited a few girls from the house and the two sisters of the Li family to enjoy the chrysanthemums. This Mrs. Li is very familiar with the Feng family, and her husband is a counselor of the General Administration Department of Zhengwupin, and she often socializes with the eldest master at the same level. And her aunt and grandmother are the concubines of Prince Rui, who is the emperor's brother and a real relative of the emperor. So although it is the same grade, the old man has a lot of flattery, and the Feng family naturally stammers Mrs. Li in every way. The easy-to-use and delicious food on weekdays has been moved to Li's mansion, which has finally shortened the distance.
Last time Mrs. Li celebrated her birthday, Feng's Baba went, but the Li family's aunt and grandmother couldn't come back. But the congratulatory gift she sent was the only one, and the Li family opened it in front of everyone, which was really beautiful.
This time, the Li family sent someone to deliver the post, and the person who came was the grandmother who was often waiting by Li's side. Feng's reward was naturally not thin, and when she was leaving, the grandmother revealed a message to her. It was this news that made both Feng and Aunt Li feel happy.
It turned out that the Li family's aunt and grandmother were originally concubines, and there was no freedom to marry into the palace as a concubine, and if there was no order from the princess, they would not even be able to get out of the second gate of the palace. But she was angry and gave birth to a beautiful and lovely little princess. Prince Rui already has three sons, so he is looking forward to having a caring little padded jacket, and now he can do whatever he wants. And the little county lord was born with pink carving, white and fat, and he was clever, and anyone who saw it wanted to kiss him.
The little county lord can say anything at the age of two, and he can make people happy. Even the queen and the queen mother in the palace have not seen each other for a few days, and there are always good things to reward when they meet. The little county lord is twelve this year, which is a good time to be innocent.
She likes chrysanthemums the most, and every year at this time, the tribute chrysanthemums in the palace always have to be rewarded with more than a dozen pots. But this year, it was freezing rain in southern Anhui, and the car transporting Gongju was intercepted there, and the chrysanthemum was frozen to death. However, the Li Mansion planted a few pots on the grange in the countryside and sent them all over. The Li family originally wanted to send it to the palace, but he was afraid that the county lord would not like it, so he invited her to come over to enjoy the chrysanthemum, and if it could still be seen, he ordered someone to carry it over.
So this time, the little county lord will go to the Li Mansion and bring a few close friends with him. Can it be an ordinary person who can be friends with the little county lord? Feng Shi felt excited when he thought about it, this was a great opportunity to fall from the sky. If Yuyi can make friends with the little county lord, she can enter the upper circle along the way, and there is absolutely no harm in the benefits!
Aunt Li was also secretly happy in her heart, and deliberately called the two girls to come closer and told them carefully.
If you go to enjoy chrysanthemums this time, you will definitely meet the little county lord, and maybe there will be young ladies from other families. Wan Rou's face was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes flashed brightly, and Aunt Li hurriedly said when she saw this, this is not a small place like Cangzhou, there are many local rules, and you have to watch Yuyi act in everything. The person who sent the post specifically said that he wanted your sisters to go with him, so it can be seen that people know about your sisters. We've only been in the capital for a long time, and we haven't gone out to socialize, it should be because of your father. Although your father is not here, he has just been canonized by the emperor and won glory for the entire Li family. Don't lose the face of the Li family on this trip!
Wanrou could still listen to her mother's preaching, and she was full of thoughts about what clothes to wear and what jewelry to wear. Seeing her absent-mindedness, Aunt Li instructed Wanru again: You are a sister, you must take a good look at your sister, and don't let her make any mistakes. Especially in front of the little county lord, you must not make jokes. Although we are from Cangzhou, your father has a title, and it is still more expensive than ordinary eunuchs. Although you are generous, let them see the demeanor of the Li family girl! Aunt Leigh taught them a lesson and boosted their morale.
What kind of character is the little county lord? That's the person who goes in and out of the palace all day long to deal with the queen and the queen mother. Not to mention that it is like two sisters, but Aunt Li herself is a little stunned when she thinks about it. She didn't want her girl to meet the county lord when she arrived at the Li Mansion, and she was so scared that she couldn't even walk.
Don't worry, Mother, we spent some time in my aunt's house, playing with my cousins all day, and we know a little bit about the rules here. Besides, people mainly invite aunts and cousins, and we sisters just follow around to see and learn. Wanrou has a calculation in her heart, and she is used to observing words and feelings, and our sisters are ordinary-looking and not outstanding, so they may be treated as girls by the little county lord.
A girl who is self-despise, she can't say such things outside, she will be laughed at! Aunt Li scolded, you just have to take out the eldest lady's money, and you don't have to worry about clothes and jewelry.
Aunt Li had already thought about it, and took out the silver at the bottom of the box to make clothes and jewelry for their sisters, and then added them back when Master Li's money was set off. Now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, only in and out, there is a fixed amount of income every month, and it is not a small amount, so she naturally dares to spend money.
Wan Rou was very happy to hear it, and hurriedly said: I heard Sister Yu mentioned that the Splendid Workshop and Cuihua Pavilion in the capital are the best. The ladies and ladies of the capital generally went to these two places to make clothes and jewelry.
Aunt Li sent her mother-in-law out to inquire, and she couldn't help but be startled. What kind of expensive material costs 50 wen a foot, and what kind of baby head and face set costs 1,000 taels? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, isn't this a clear robbery of money? Could it be that the mother-in-law wants to make a fortune from it? Aunt Li is not a noble lady who does not go out of the door and does not enter the two doors, and does not work hard and does not distinguish between grains and grains. She decided to go and see for herself, but she couldn't let people bluff her.
The next day, she rushed to find the Feng family, but it happened that the Feng family was busy, so she took her mother-in-law and went by herself. The small courtyard where she lives is in the northwest corner of the Jin Mansion, and there is a small door on the street, from which she can easily enter and exit. The Jin Mansion is not far from the downtown area, and it will take a while to arrive, and she didn't bother the Feng family to call a carriage.
Dayu is civilized, and you can see little daughters-in-law and wives everywhere shopping around the streets, and occasionally you can see young ladies and girls wearing veils. The woman led her straight to the Splendid Workshop, next to which was Cuihua Pavilion, but she didn't have to walk back and forth.
