On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtyard of the old lady of the Lu family was very lively, and there were more than a dozen girls from the Lu family, large and small.

The big red Yipin Lady Lady costume is being placed in front of everyone. Needless to say, the material of the clothes, the embroidery is exquisite, if you look carefully, only the water ripples of the hem use three colors and four stitches, and the decoration on the Xia curtain is even more extreme, it can be called the embroidery stitch master.

The phoenix crown was originally packed in the hat box, but it had been taken out at this time and placed on a special shelf, only to see the gold and jade pearls reflecting each other, the red sapphires were mixed with them, and the tassels of the gold beads hanging down on both sides were more than a foot long, and they swayed slightly in the air, exuding a circulating light.

Although Xia Xiaodong came over with Lu Yunzhi and was also in this room, he didn't move forward, so he simply slipped aside and found Zhang Xiudun to sit down, so as to be a quiet audience.

The one who sat next to her obediently and only whispered a few words occasionally was not Lu Yunzhi, but Lu Yunxin.

Just because the New Year's banquet will be held in the afternoon, and tomorrow will be the busy first day of the Lunar New Year, the preparations for the palace banquet can only be completed today.

In fact, there is only one real preparation, which is to take out the clothes you are going to wear and inspect them, and if there are any slight damage and dirt, you can repair and renovate them as soon as possible.

Of course, this costume is only used once and a half a year. It's just that the old lady is old enough, and she was named a first-class edict early enough, so this set of crown clothes that looks quite new has actually been around for many years.

No matter how carefully maintained, things are the same as people, and when you get older, you always have to leave traces.

Furong, who was beside Mrs. Lu, was inspecting the dress inch by inch, and several girls were gathered around, racking their brains to praise the benefits of the dress.

The Lu family has many grandchildren, and whether they can get Mrs. Lu's blue eyes is also very clear.

It's nothing more than a natural background and my own qualifications.

is outstanding, smart, and beautiful, there must be someone who didn't run, such as Lu Yunzhi.

is talented, smart, not beautiful, and the chances are also very high, such as Lu Yunsheng.

If you are not smart, or beautiful, then you have to look at the head of the room, and how many girls there are in that room. If it happens to be a good house and there is only one concubine, you can only ask for it, such as Lu Yunfang, the only daughter of the long house.

Superior, intelligent, beautiful, have a chance, not high.

Concubine, intelligent, not beautiful, chance, slim.

Concubine, not intelligent, not beautiful - go back to the house! When the old lady is this a vegetable market? Whoever wants to come?

A girl who rarely shows her face in front of an old lady on weekdays can only show more on special festivals to seize opportunities. For example, today.

Xia Xiaodong looked at everyone's table with interest. It's no wonder that these people can't get to Mrs. Lu on weekdays, let alone compare with Lu Yunzhi, Lu Yunsheng and others, even with the young Lu Yunxin.

Will the costumes of the Commandment be bad? Who would dare to say bad? Do you still need to run over and praise it? This kind of sycophant who doesn't need to shoot at all, and has to run up to shoot, the meaning of flattery and pleasing is too obvious.

No, it didn't take long for Mrs. Lu to be noisy, saying that it was a headache, so she asked Lu Yunzhi and Lu Yunsheng to go to the back room crookedly, but in fact, she was a little too lazy to look at these granddaughters. Otherwise, how could it be that Lu Yunxin accompanied Xia Xiaodong.

It must be known that the highest level of patting sycophants is to shoot and be invisible, so that the person being photographed is unaware.

In addition, it also shows that the eyesight of the sycophant is very poor - he can't find any other sycophant.

It's like, directly praising a beautiful woman is beautiful, people have heard it 800 times, and they are tired of it. If you can describe a few details such as autumn water ears and beads, it can barely be regarded as a higher level.

But if you come to the last sentence, 'Why is your school flower so ordinary, didn't you go on the day you chosen?' Wow, have you been promoted several ranks immediately?

Of course, if you can make a poem like 'Looking back and smiling at a hundred beautiful people, the six palaces have no color', then you don't have to think about how to pat your ass, it should be someone else who pat your ass.

Xia Xiaodong was watching and thinking here, and suddenly heard a 'pop'.

It turned out that a girl who didn't find it enjoyable just to look around in a circle, and reached out to touch the material of the garment. As everyone knows, everyone is supervising each other, and the one next to him made a 'righteous and awe-inspiring' shot and slapped the outstretched hand.

"Don't touch it!" It was an older girl who beat people, and she looked like she was teaching her younger sister: "How can you touch it?" What should I do if I hook the wire? The boss is not small, why is he still so frizzy in doing things! ”

Saying that others are frizzy is naturally showing that you are calm.

The girl who was beaten, looked at the back of her red hand, and then looked at her sister who was half a head taller than herself, her face was full of unwillingness, but she didn't dare to rush up and tear it, so she only said aggrievedly: "My hands are not thick at all, I washed them twice!" How can you touch the dirt and scratch the thread! As he spoke, his mouth was flattened, and his eyes were full of tears, and he was about to cry.

"On such a good day, you dare to cry and try!" The girl who hit people was a little panicked, she really wanted to make trouble, it wasn't really wrong to stretch out her hand, what could you do with a little touch? The moment she hit her, she naturally lost the meaning of 'cherishing her little sister'. And why fight it? Isn't pulling the same as stopping?

The girl who had been beaten suddenly woke up. She's just a concubine, and she's at the bottom of the line, and she's not afraid of getting into trouble -- such a trivial matter, at most two hungry meals are not allowed to go out of the yard, and she rarely goes out of the yard anyway.

"Sister, I was wrong. Am I wrong? Don't hit me! Even my mother will only punish me, not beat me! The little girl pleaded wisely.

Whoever is called a mother refers to a mother-in-law and not to a natural mother-in-law. It seems that this little girl was punished enough by her mother-in-law, and she took the opportunity to complain.

"Who, who hit you?" The girl's face turned red and said angrily, "Isn't it just a gentle pat." You're not done yet? You're right with that claw?! ”

Seeing that these two were choking more and more, the girls next to them didn't even look at the costumes, and they didn't think about how to please the old lady, so they just stared at the two people to watch the excitement, but no one came out to persuade them.

Later, Xia Xiaodong learned that the Lu family's inner house had its own rules, and if there was a dispute on the surface, in principle, the same generation would not be discouraged. The more people involved in the matter, the more difficult it is to figure out the ins and outs, and if a few people come in to help Taipingquan, it may become a mess, and it will be difficult to clean up later.

Only the elders can come forward to suppress them, or the younger slaves and maids can help persuade them to make peace - they must be persuading peace, because if they provoke more fiercely, of course, the board will hit the juniors or slaves in the end, and they will be cannon fodder.
