Chapter 41 The thank-you banquet is still on the scene
The second day of the third month of March is coming soon, since it is to go to the banquet, it is natural to dress up carefully, this kind of makeup is not only a kind of beauty, but also a sign of respect for the host's family, but this meaning is not accurate in Lan Qiduo.
Probably because Mama Yun secretly got the orders of the crown princess again, or her own wishful thinking, she attached great importance to Lan Qiduo's going to the original Pingnanhou Mansion for a banquet, and after breakfast, she actually went to Lan Qiduo's room to choose clothes and makeup for Lan Qiduo.
Generally, if the girl's family is about where to go to the banquet, she will definitely think about her best side to show others, what clothes to wear, what jewelry to wear, what kind of hairstyle to comb, what kind of makeup to wear, probably have a plan in her heart, and set it a few days early, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes.
Lan Qiduo was different, she didn't yawn until she had to get up, closed her eyes and asked the maidservants to wash her, and in her ears was the nagging voice of Mama Yun, Tuping and several other people.
"You guys are getting worse and worse! The palace was going out today, and he didn't even know that he had prepared his clothes and jewelry early. ”
"Mama is taught."
"And this plum blossom moire jasper hairpin, will it be too plain?"
"In the past few years, it has been popular to wear this kind of jasper hairpin."
"I'm getting older, and I don't understand what is popular now, and my daughter's family still has to dress up bright and moving!"
……
Mama Yun is actually just saying, Lan Qiduo has had a lot of ideas since she was a child, until she changed into the peacock pattern brocade dress with blue clouds and beads, and still said unwillingly: "Why don't the old slaves change a ruby forehead ornament for the palace again?" ”
The corners of Lan Qiduo's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly: "Mama, going to Xiahou's house today is to give them face." If you dress up too brilliantly, I don't know if you think I like Xiahou's family a lot! ”
"Alas, it's the old slave who doesn't think it through!" Mama Yun patted her head with some annoyance, and Lan Qiduo hurriedly comforted: "Second Mama can go out with me!" When the time comes, let's see what kind of makeup the ladies in the capital are. ”
Only then did Mama Yun smile with joy.
"Palace, after this street corner is Yuan Ping Nanhou."
The eldest princess's mansion was not far from where the nobles lived, and it was only a quarter of an hour or so before she arrived, and she had been pondering the painting last night. Slept a little late. I'm a little sleepy today, but I still have to cheer up when I get to people.
Because of Xiahou Yi's face, there are not many people who came to the banquet today. The eldest lady of the Xiahou family, the second lady and several married daughters, who stood at the door, were standing at the second gate to greet the guests, welcoming this and that still greeting and talking, and for a while the second door was lively as if it was a festival, and the second lady of the Xiahou family was originally a little unhappy because of the return of the title, after so much flattery and flattery. It also looks a lot better at this time.
Just as everyone was greeting each other, a messenger sang loudly: "The eldest princess of Yuanjia has arrived!" ”
The doorway, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became much quieter. Everyone craned their heads to look at the ornate carriage and the guards that followed.
First of all, there are still a few maidservants, everyone knows, this is the rumored Yuanjia eldest princess Wenwu Shuangquan eighteen kinds of talents and skills of the four big maids, there are women who have never seen Lan Qiduo are even more curious reads();! The maid is so good. What should the master be like?
When the curtain was opened, the first thing I saw through the sunlight was a pair of hands that seemed to be transparent, and the nails were not like the girl of the time. Rather, it is trimmed evenly.
She got out of the carriage and casually glanced at the people who were guarding the door, and was supported by the carriage. Only then did he say calmly: "You don't need to be polite, this palace is just an ordinary guest today!" ”
Lan Qiduo had a calm and shallow smile on his face, neither eager nor alienated, everyone only felt that with this gorgeous dress, although this palace student had a delicate hibiscus face, but it was really as rumored, high up, and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter the eyes.
However, at a moment, a voice broke in, and they saw that the eldest princess of Yuanjia, who had been smiling lightly, suddenly bloomed with a smile that was different from just now! The smile seemed to come from the bottom of my heart, and the peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.
"Auntie! Aunt! My mother said that you will come today, I miss you! Do you want to be clear? ”
A five- or six-year-old girl dressed in a bright red brocade dress and wearing a ring around her neck rushed towards Lan Qiduo, who had already opened her arms and embraced her.
She hugged the girl who called Qingqing and walked towards the Pingnan Hou Mansion, she didn't even look at the magnificence along the way, only nodded the nose of the girl in her arms and said, "Aunt misses you too!" But you don't go to see your aunt, and your aunt is so lonely......"
"Hey, Qingqing wants to see you too! But my mother won't allow it. ”
Lan Qiduo's tone made Lan Qiduo laugh, she looked at the young woman who was surrounded by people not far away, and deliberately teased the girl in her arms: "Your mother is really a bad person......
"That's it! Don't let Qingqing eat snacks yet! ”
Lan*, the county lord of Luocheng who came to the front, said with tears and laughter: "You little white-eyed wolf! actually said bad things about his mother, believe it or not, I'll go back and beat you! ”
They were talking here, and the female relatives who followed behind also slowly followed, and Lan * asked people to bring their daughter, and they were not joking, but told Lan Qiduo about some things that they had and didn't.
This mansion in the Pingnan Hou Mansion is to follow the Lan Taizu to fight the sky together, Taizu gave it to him, although he has lived in it for several generations, but he still compares the general mansion with careful maintenance to carve beams and paintings.
Lan Qiduo naturally came today with some unknown purposes, she thought of Xiahou Yi's stepmother Zhang, and said openly: "Who is this?" ”
The second lady of the Xiahou family was very enthusiastic to introduce Lan Qiduo: "This is my sister-in-law." ”
"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Xiahou family! I haven't seen it. Lan Qiduo said very calmly.
Although the eldest lady was not young, she still seemed to be charming, and when she heard Lan Qiduo speak, she replied in a very frightened manner: "The people are widows, and they are not worthy of the attention of the palace. ”
"This palace sees that Mrs. has a gentle temperament, is generous and decent, and Mrs. is really too modest!"
Zhang didn't expect to get a word of appreciation from Lan Qiduo, when he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he quickly looked up at Lan Qiduo, Lan Qiduo has been paying attention to her, but he wanted to see if the "flattery in his eyes" that Tu Ping said was true, but the Zhang family was dozens of years old, and he glanced at her quietly like a rabbit and quickly lowered his head.
It looked like a timid woman, and Lan Ziduo couldn't even see her face clearly. (To be continued.) )
