Zhuang Minhua arrived in the old lady's room, and the maids were setting up tables and chairs, ready for breakfast.
The old lady beckoned to her, her face full of love, "I heard that you made three silk burritos this morning?" He grabbed her, turned to Guo'er and said, "Hurry up, I haven't eaten the breakfast made by Hua'er for a few days, and I've been thinking about it!"
Zhuang Minhua leaned on her and said with a smile: "If the ancestor wants to eat, then Hua'er will make it for you every day in the future."
The old lady shook her head and took her hand to look at it, "Look at these little hands, I don't want these little hands to become rough, it's good that you have this filial piety." Don't do it yourself in the future, isn't it just for raising so many people in the kitchen? When you go back, remember to apply balm and take care of it. What a woman's hands! But a woman's second face can't be elaborate. ”
The old lady took the opportunity to tell Zhuang Minhua about the way of maintenance, and at the end, she asked, "Is it good to use the prescription I gave you before?"
Zhuang Minhua remembered that the old lady had carefully nursed the original owner since she was a child, and she also gave several maintenance prescriptions before she got married, but they were all forgotten by Zhuang Minhua.
How could Zhuang Minhua tell the truth, he only said: "Ancestor, you see me like this, is my skin very good?" I made a lot of recipes and used them every day! "She has taken the marrow washing pills, can her skin be bad?
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, breakfast was set and she began to eat.
After breakfast, Zhuang Minhua went back to the room, changed her clothes, went to see Zhuang Yiduan, and saw that she was gradually getting better, and thought that she could go to Fang's house.
On the day of Fang Dan's marriage, after all, he is a junior, and the eldest lady will not go. Zhuang Minxing went to Huzhou and didn't come back, so he could only be escorted by Zhuang Mincheng, the eldest grandmother Cheng Ert, and Zhuang Minhua Zhuang Yi.
Because it is a wedding banquet, it is necessary to dress festively, but it must not steal the limelight of the newlyweds.
Zhuang Minhua was wearing a turquoise dark striped gown and an off-white pleated skirt, and her slightly stable color pressed her a little brighter. But it is a little more dignified; combed a fallen horse bun and wore a beaded gold hairpin; On his neck, he wore the Merlot bead necklace given by Meng Jinghan, orange pearls, flashing with a soft light. It makes her more delicate.
Zhuang Yiduan wore an orange sprinkled flower gown, a moon-white embroidered gold camellia horse face skirt, which was very flattering to the complexion; Combed with a double screw bun, one side is fixed with two gold rings inlaid with treasures, and the whole person looks pretty and lively.
Grandma Xing wore a silver-gray silk gown. The big red pomegranate skirt, combed with a bun, wearing a sunrise five phoenix hanging bead hairpin, dignified and bright.
Grandma Cheng Er T is wearing an emerald green makeup gown, a light purple pleated skirt, a bun, and a butterfly love flower golden hairpin, with a gentle temperament and amiable view.
They looked at each other and laughed. Got into the carriage. Grandma Xing told Zhuang Minhua and Zhuang Yi not to run around when they went to Fang's house, especially not to run out, so as not to bump into the male guest. He also told him not to drink wine at the table, not even fruit wine; I'm afraid that they won't have enough alcohol, and they will lose their temper in front of everyone and lose face. Zhuang Minhua and Zhuang Yiduan agreed one by one.
Grandma Xing knocked on the maid of the two again, and the dealer and the Fang family were only separated by a street, and they soon arrived at the alley where the Fang family lived.
Although it was only the eldest son who got married, the carriage and horse sedan chair at the door still filled the entire alley.
The banker's carriage arrived, and the people of the Fang family looked at the family emblem. hurriedly came over to greet and hurriedly led a few people in.
Someone had already reported to Fang Yuzhen, and as soon as Zhuang Minhua got off the sedan chair, he saw a pretty girl in a pink shirt standing next to her with a smile. It was Fang Yuzhen. Seeing that they all came down, Fang Yuzhen came over to pay respects.
"You're here, I'm looking through the autumn water." Fang Yuzhen was coquettish in her mouth, and she took them to the flower hall where the guests were entertained. Mrs. Tongfang saw it, and when the eldest grandmother Cheng Ert was greeting people, she took Zhuang Minhua and Zhuang Yiduan to their own yard.
There were already four or five young ladies sitting there in the room. When they came in, they all stood up.
Fang Yuzhen smiled at everyone: "Sister Hua, everyone has known each other for a long time, this is Sister Hua's eldest niece, and her name is right." He said to Zhuang Minhua again: "You know everyone here, I'll be lazy, you can take Sister Duan to get to know you." He said to everyone: "I still have something to do outside, so I won't accompany you first." You are free to ask people what you need. So saying, he went.
Zhuang Minhua knew that she was giving herself a chance to reconnect with these, and she couldn't live up to her wishes; Take a step forward and follow the distance of the position of the station. Pointing to a bright-looking girl in a pomegranate skirt, he said to Zhuang Yiduan: "This is Zheng Mingzhu, the daughter of the household servant." Zhuang Yiduan had met her.
Zhuang Minhua pointed to a beautiful girl in a goose yellow shirt and said, "This is Mu Ruyi, the daughter of the criminal department." Master Zhuang is Mu Lang's boss, so Mu Ruyi is also more affectionate.
Another one in a green shirt with picturesque eyebrows is Zhou Rong, the daughter of Dali Temple; The remaining girl in a red shirt and bright eyes is Li Wenxiu, the daughter of the country's priest and wine. When they had seen each other, they sat down separately.
Zheng Mingzhu opened her mouth and said: "Since Sister Hua got married, she won't come to us to be stubborn, but she has to kiss her well today."
The others glanced at each other, who doesn't know now that Zhuang Minhua is leaving, and Zheng Mingzhu is still mentioning what to marry.
Zhuang Minhua didn't seem to hear it, and replied: "That's exactly how it should be."
Zheng Mingzhu was like a punch on cotton, unable to speak.
Mu Ruyi hurriedly changed the topic, "I heard that the bride's wedding dress design and embroidery today were all done by herself, and everyone who saw it said it was good!" ”
"I heard Sister Jane say the same, and I just wanted to see it!" As these words were said in Zhuang Yiduan's heart, she immediately answered, and the others also praised it. Only Mu Ruyi and Zhuang Yiduan, the two most interested in getting together to discuss the bride's wedding dress.
Others can't be cold and talk about the emerging rouge gouache cloth jewelry.
Suddenly, Zhou Rong pointed to the pearl necklace around Zhuang Minhua's neck and said, "God, I'm not mistaken, right?" This is Merlot, right? Hearing this, the others also hurriedly came over, and several people surrounded them, and Zheng Mingzhu even grabbed the necklace with his hand and put it on his hand to take a closer look.
may be because she was too excited, Zhuang Minhua was pulled by her and panicked. Hurriedly reached out and unfastened the clasp of the necklace at the back of his neck and took the necklace off.
Zheng Mingzhu grabbed it in his hand, and others also gathered around to taste it. From time to time, it came out of the crowd, "It's so beautiful, it deserves to be a merlot bead." "I heard that even the royal family doesn't have a lot of collections, and ordinary people can get one. It's all set on the hairpin! It's like Sister Zhuang, made into a necklace, there are twenty of them here! ”…… Such words.
Zhuang Minhua looked at their love-loving appearance, and suddenly remembered his actions that night. Involuntarily blushed.
Zhuang Minhua was leaning back on the chair and was distracted, and suddenly her sleeves were gently pulled, she turned her head to see that it was a round-faced little maid wearing the uniform of the Fangfu Unified Maid, she pulled her and pointed out.
Zhuang Minhua hesitated. Seeing that everyone was still around her necklace and commenting, she followed the maid to the door, and Orange followed her.
The little maid didn't care, and only said when she got to the door: "Miss Zhuang, my young lady has no skills, I want to ask you for a favor."
Zhuang Minhua heard that Fang Yuzhen wanted to help, and remembered that she was indeed very busy today, so he nodded and agreed.
Although she had read many scenes in novels in her early years, saying that she had made a living through a banquet, she didn't think she had offended anyone. And with the system in his body, Orange and Huang followed closely, so he boldly followed.
The little maid said as she walked: "It's the cousin of the young lady's uncle's family, who accidentally wet her skirt; Miss saw that you were similar in shape and wanted to borrow clothes from Miss Zhuang. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Minhua was a little suspicious, and hurriedly opened the system map to see that the little maid showed a neutral gray dot on the map, so she sent Tang Huang back to the carriage to get her clothes with confidence. When Tang Huang came back after taking his clothes, he didn't see anything happening, and Zhuang Minhua let go of his heart.
Soon came to a courtyard. The little maid explained: "Miss is entertaining guests in the courtyard, so I have to grieve Miss Cousin to change clothes in the guest room." As he spoke, he pushed the door open.
Zhuang Minhua suddenly tensed his nerves, but unexpectedly the door opened, and a young lady was sitting in the room. When he heard the sound, he turned around and said in surprise: "It's coming."
Zhuang Minhua saw that the young lady was twenty-eight Fanghua, with apricot eyes and a round face, and her body shape was really similar to her, with a tea stain on her moon-white horse-faced skirt. Very conspicuous.
When Miss Biao heard that she was wearing Zhuang Minhua's clothes, she hurriedly thanked her and introduced herself, "My surname is Zhang, and my maiden name is Ruqing, I really thank you this time." Another day, I will come to the door to thank you, and return a few pieces of clothing to Miss Zhuang. ”
The two were polite, and Miss Biao went to the inner room to change clothes.
The little maid enthusiastically poured her a cup of tea, and Zhuang Minhua put it aside and didn't drink it. After waiting for a long time, Zhang Ruqing came out and wore her clothes, except for a little looseness on her chest, it was quite suitable.
Zhang Ruqing was very grateful and wanted to personally send her back to Fang Yuzhen's yard.
The two talked all the way, Zhang Ruqing was not flattering when she spoke, but she could always catch the idea just right, which made people feel quite comfortable. Zhuang Minhua saw that she had no malicious intent, and the gray dot displayed on the map was also neutral, and there was a faint friendly green, so all the guards were lowered.
It's a pity that Zhuang Minhua let down her guard, and the next moment, she felt a pain in the back of her head, and the last thing she saw was Zhang Ruqing's fallen figure.
Let's say that in Fang Yuzhen's yard, everyone was finally happy, and they were reluctantly returning the necklace to Zhuang Minhua, but they found that she and her maid were gone. They are all beautiful girls, famous daughters, who are not shallow-eyed and want to secretly possess something good when they see it. Everyone just thought that Zhuang Minhua went out to play, so they handed the necklace to Zhuang Yiduan to keep.
They talked again, except for Zhuang Yiduan, who stretched his neck from time to time to see if Zhuang Minhua had come, everyone else didn't care. came out as a guest, and didn't say that they had to sit in one place and not move, they were all here to socialize, maybe Zhuang Minhua was talking to others!
Everyone is talking about it! Fang Yuzhen came in from outside and sat on a chair at will, "Who rewarded me with a cup of tea, I haven't drunk tea since the morning, I'm thirsty." ”
Li Wenxiu was sitting at the table, and when she heard this, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fang Yuzhen, jokingly, "Come, I'm rewarding you, why don't you hurry up and thank you." ”
Fang Yuzhen also likes to play tricks, and when she heard this, she held the cup in front of her with both hands, "Sister Xie Xiu." ”
Everyone laughed, Fang Yuzhen drank a cup You Jue was not enough, and sat down at the table and poured a few cups by herself before she felt alive.
She moves quickly, but she has a graceful demeanor that doesn't make people feel rude.
Fang Yuzhen relieved herself, looked into the room, and said strangely, "Sister Hua didn't come back?"
Zheng Mingzhu asked, "Come back?"
"Oh!" Fang Yuzhen explained: "My cousin's skirt was dirty, and I saw that she was similar to Sister Hua's figure, so I asked the maid to come over and borrow a dress from her. Why hasn't this come back yet? ”
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and Li Wenxiu said: "I think it's talking to your cousin, forget the time!"
Fang Yuzhen thinks about it, her cousin is not a childish person, and talking and doing things makes people feel comfortable. It's good that Sister Hua can be good friends with her.
Fang Yuzhen was about to say more, but saw her mother's eldest maid Liuzhi hurriedly walk in and glanced at her.
Fang Yuzhen sighed in her heart, and reluctantly said goodbye to everyone with a smile, praying in her heart not to have an accident on the big brother's happy day.
The two of them left the courtyard gate, and Liuzhi said in a low voice: "There is an accident in the guest courtyard."
Fang Yuzhen's eyes darkened, she thought of her cousin and Sister Hua, weren't they in the guest house? Hopefully they're gone.
She settled down, and hurried to the guest house, while listening to Liuzhi's words.
Because she is not young, she is going to say goodbye. Mrs. Fang took her with her and taught her how to be a housekeeper. Today, Fang Dan got married, and Mrs. Fang also explained a lot of things to her; and sent Sister Liuzhi to assist her; Like picking up and entertaining guests, it is one of her tasks.
If something happens, make a fuss. Not only will the Fang family lose face, but it will also be a little difficult for her to kiss in the future, thinking of this, Fang Yuzhen's vest is wet.
Liuzhi explained everything, and it turned out that a male guest got drunk and made a mistake, entered the inner courtyard, and fell asleep on the side of the road.
Fang Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Can you help that son out?" That boy didn't meet the young ladies in the inner courtyard, did he? ”
Liuzhi thought for a while, "I've already asked the little guy to help him to the guest room in the outer courtyard." As for whether you have encountered it, you have to ask the maid mother-in-law. When the maid found Zheng Shizi, he was lying on the side of the road and sleeping. ”
"Zheng Shizi?" Fang Yuzhen paused, "But the Hou Shizi of Xiangyang?" "If it's that son, it's disgusting.
"Not really." Liuzhi replied in a low voice, this Xiangyang Hou Shizi is a character with all five poisons, and he is as lustful as his life, the backyard is full of concubines, and there are many confidants outside. I also heard that he eats both men and women, and he has beaten people to death in order to fight for drama. Of course, this Zheng Shizi has nothing to do with Zheng Mingzhu, maybe they were the same ancestor a long time ago. But his backers are very big. Concubine Zheng Guifei, who is favored in the palace, is his aunt. (To be continued.) )
