Chapter 10: Meeting
June 26 is the folk lotus festival, also known as the lotus birthday, on this day even the busy common people have to stop to enjoy the lotus, comfortable. Large families with ponds naturally invite some relatives and friends to go boating together to pick lotus, or make a wish to release river lanterns by their own pond at night, or go out with many people to put lanterns along the river.
Early this morning, Fu Tianqing officially appeared in front of everyone for the first time in many years. Li's mother and the newly arrived Zizhen and Zishu followed her out, and Zihuan stayed in Fushengzhai to guard the door.
The refreshing tulle summer coat, covered with a snow-blue bikina, goose-yellow plum embroidery on the neckline, and a light green tulle middle coat, with a white gauze skirt and blue Ruyi silk, made Fu Xiangqing, who was already waiting in Qinxintang, also shine.
Fu Tianqing walked to the hall, and saw Fu Xiangqing who was standing, she nodded slightly at her, and then saluted Mrs. Fu who was sitting on the mahogany chair: "Mother is fine, let my mother and sister wait, it's mine." ”
Mrs. Fu also glanced at her when she came in, compared to the eldest daughter's delicate dress, the younger daughter was light and elegant, and at this moment, Mrs. Fu had realized that she could not underestimate this daughter.
The people in several rooms gathered in Fuzhi Hall, and after greeting Mrs. Fu, they all left the house.
Before I got out of the gate of the Fu family, I heard a crisp female voice: "Third sister, your clothes are so comfortable, it's the first time I've seen the little phoenix hairpin on my head, it seems that the eldest aunt still loves you the most, and I haven't seen such a chic dress on the big sister." ”
Fu Tianqing's footsteps stopped, looked back at Fu Xinqing in the fourth room, and said with puzzlement: "I cut the clothes from the old year, but I found someone to tattoo flowers on the neckline, as for jewelry, I don't wear the most expensive one, the fourth sister said as if I took a big advantage." ”
Mrs. Fu was originally walking in the front, and when she heard Fu Xinqing's words, the expression on her face was obviously displeased, Fu Xiangqing, who was walking beside her, glanced at it quietly, lowered her head and kept silent, no one thought that Fu Tianqing would refute at this time.
Everyone present was surprised, the third lady of the third room, Qian, is the most kind person among the ladies, and even with her daughter Fu Nuanqing, she has developed a soft temperament, everyone thinks that Fu Qianqing is worse than Fu Nuanqing, but today it has completely changed this cognition.
The fourth lady Lin has always been used to being casual, and she didn't think that her daughter said anything wrong, but after being surprised, she reacted and hurriedly protected Fu Xinqing and said: "Your fourth sister is kind enough to praise you, but it annoys you, don't worry, I won't say anything more to you in the future." After speaking, he pulled Fu Xinqing out of the door like a plague god, but Fu Xinqing, who was being pulled, did not forget to turn around and glared at Fu Tianqing fiercely.
Mrs. Fu opened her mouth at this time: "Okay, it's just a quarrel between children, and as an elder, you don't have to get involved." "The Lin family has not liked the long room since she entered the door of the Fu family, especially Mrs. Fu, who always has a high shelf, and these words obviously have no effect on her.
The group went out of the main gate, and the carriages and horses of each room were ready, so naturally the long room was in the front in order. Mrs. Fu has always been generous and pompous, and she has prepared two cars for the owners of each room, Fu Xiangqing was about to say that she would accompany Fu Tianqing with her eldest sister's shelf, but she was told by Fu Tianqing first.
"My sister must be used to being by my mother's side, I can take care of myself alone, you can sit in the car in front of your mother with your mother."
Fu Xiangqing thought in his heart that as long as he didn't let their mother and daughter be alone, he nodded and agreed.
The mother and daughter of the three-room only have one car, the Lin family and Fu Xinqing have a carriage, and Fu Yuqing is the concubine of the four-room has also left a car by herself.
The carriage sign of Fu Fu is obvious, and pedestrians will automatically give way when walking on the street. The shouts of the vendors on both sides of the street, and the homely laughter of the people from time to time reached Fu Tianqing's ears, which made her miss the days before entering the palace in her previous life.
As soon as Fu Xinqing got in the car, she began to complain: "Mother, when is it her turn to speak, she dares to refute my words, isn't it the emperor's marriage, the eldest aunt didn't treat her so much in the past, she still misses the mother-daughter relationship, hum, I think she can be proud for a while, I heard that General Han is explosive and ruthless, who would marry his daughter to such a person, there is a time for her to cry." ”
Lin also said: "She's just afraid that she has been locked up for too long, Shun Shunqi asked you to run into it, don't be like her, you see that even your eldest aunt doesn't care about her, you just stay away from her in the future, don't go against your eldest aunt, my mother has suffered in her hands all these years." ”
Fu Xinqing pursed her lips disapprovingly, and said in her heart, I am not even afraid of Fu Xiangqing, who has eyes on the top of his head all day long, why should I be afraid of a Fu Xiangqing who has a mother but is the same as the loss of confidence.
Hanfu is located in the south of the city, the bachelor's house is located in the east of the city, there are several streets between the two houses, not to mention, the sound of horse's hooves passing through the road indicates that the speed of the coachman is not slow, and an hour later I saw the eye-catching door plaque on Chengnan Street, Hanfu.
I don't say that there are few people in the Han Mansion, but everyone didn't expect Mrs. Han to come out to greet her in person.
Sure enough, as Mrs. Fu said before, this Mrs. Han is amiable, and she is completely two types of people with the housewife of the Fu family, and she is not like the ladies of the Fu family, who are either rich or bright, and the lilac-colored carved silk gourd pattern gown makes her more and more approachable. Everyone's eyes inadvertently lingered on the young lady next to her.
This young lady looks fourteen or fifteen years old, and the movement of holding Mrs. Han in her hand can tell that the two are very close, and they look a little similar to Mrs. Han. Dressed in honey-colored round-necked narrow-sleeved gowns and a green onion yellow gauze skirt, she is gentle and dignified.
Mrs. Han knew who it was when she saw the momentum of Mrs. Fu led by her, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and then they took care of the people around them.
Mrs. Han said first: "This is my niece Wan Qian, my mother's niece, and she came to live with me when she saw me alone in Beijing." This Wanqian girl gave everyone a greeting gift one by one, and she was generous.
Mrs. Han took the opportunity to ask the people from the Fu Mansion to go inside, and everyone was temporarily led to a relatively large flower hall, and Mrs. Fu also hurriedly introduced the third lady, the fourth lady, and a few small ones.
Mrs. Han's gaze turned on Fu Tianqing, and she soon smiled kindly and said: "I don't know what kind of temperament the third lady in the house is, I also went back to Beijing two years ago, and I heard of the eldest lady of the Fu family, but I didn't know that there was a third lady in the Fu family's room, which is also fate." ”
The implication is that the marriage brought her the fate of the Han family?
Fu Qianqing also showed a suitable smile and shyness, and Mrs. Fu said: "You are an elder who can call her Tianqing, I only thought that she was too young to take her out, and there were few people in the capital who knew her." ”
