Chapter Ninety-Three: Lantern Festival
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the banquets of all families have basically ended, and Lantern Festival lanterns have begun to be hung on the streets and in all houses.
Fu Tianqing took advantage of this busy festival to practice the piano for a few days, but she really didn't care about the aromatherapy institute anymore.
Ying Xue told Mrs. Fu the news, and she only frowned slightly and said nothing. After that, he ordered Sakura Xue to take special care of the three young ladies over there.
A few people in the aromatherapy parlor didn't know about it, and only went to flatter the old lady as usual.
A few days later, the Lantern Festival was celebrated, and Mrs. Fu got up early in the morning to prepare for the family banquet. Several tables of banquets were set up in the inner and outer courtyards, and the opera troupe was set.
The large flower hall of Fuzhi Hall has several tables of banquet dishes, and fresh flowers are also placed on the flower shelves in the hall, and the open-carved screens of Zitan are displayed in them.
At that time, the ladies of each room went to Fuzhi Hall on time as usual for the family banquet.
Mrs. Fu didn't see Fu Xinqing for a few days, and when she saw her, she called to her and said, "The girl has been busy in the house these days, why don't you come to grandmother." ”
Fu Xinqing is wearing a round-necked cardigan with pink and dark flower satin, her personality is already lively and active, and this color is even more spiritual.
Fu Xinqing smiled and said, "Grandmother chattered when she didn't see me, and she annoyed me when she saw me." I don't want to upset your old man for the holidays. ”
The old lady loved and hated her, but in the end, she still felt more partial to her, and said dotingly: "You weird girl, when does grandmother think you're annoying, it's too late to talk." It's right in front of me today, and don't go anywhere. ”
Fu Xinqing naturally responded.
Fu Xiangqing happened to come in at this time, the big black camellia wore a butterfly carved silk jacket and a honey-colored cotton skirt, and stayed in the yard for a few days.
Fu Tianqing looked at her and thought that she was still so dignified and always lived in the framework she gave herself.
The eyes of the two collided, and Fu Tianqing let her look at it, without avoiding it. This made Fu Xiangqing more and more confused, the reason why she has been so quiet these days is to dispel Fu Qianqing's attention to her, and secondly, to let Fu Yun quietly investigate how she found people or where she came from to work for her.
Fu Xiangqing thought about whether Han Yun's people lent it to her, but how could she let Han Yun know about such a thing, so she dispelled this idea, but she still doesn't know it to this day. Fu Yun checked for a few days, but she didn't find that Fu Qianqing had a strong girl around her or a little maid and guard in the outer courtyard who gave her her life.
Fu Tianqing changed into a Hunan brocade gown with brocade patterns and a pink cotton silk skirt today, and lightly pulled a meniscus-shaped bun on her head, and everyone couldn't help but secretly compare the two sisters in the long room, and even Mrs. Fu glanced over from the two of them.
Lin's eyes were sharp, and he quietly moved to the old lady, next to Mrs. Fu, and pretended to be unintentional: "Speaking of which, the third girl is not far from Ji Lu, and she is becoming more and more slim, and the sister-in-law is so blessed." ”
Mrs. Fu didn't answer, but only told the girl to set up the table, and everyone sat down in order of eldest and youngest.
Old Mrs. Fu is Mrs. Fu and the Lin family, and then the Qian family.
The juniors also sat at a table in order, only the table set up today was not enough to put together as usual, it was unique, Fu Xiangqing, Fu Nuanqing, Fu Tianqing and Fu Xinqing were just one table, and the remaining Fu Yuqing and the three Tang ladies were exactly one table.
Those who have a heart will naturally find that such an arrangement seems to be a hierarchy.
Fu Xiangqing glanced at Fu Tianqing, who lowered her head to eat, and then looked at the three people at the other table, and said in her heart, could it be that this incident made her stab her mother? Not only that, but the clothes of those in the aromatherapy center today are all clothes made in the early winter, but there are no new cuts
The Lin family teased the old lady from time to time, and the atmosphere between the elders over there was also harmonious.
After the meal, everyone moved to the kang in the room on the east side of the hall, on which there were small tables, and several lacquer tea trays, tea cups and tea bowls were readily available.
Mrs. Fu sat on the couch opposite, with a high table in front of her, on which fruit and wine were placed.
"I'm old, I can't last long, you juniors can rest and play here."
Lin said: "I see that my mother has to say it once a year, and this is not every year. According to me, if you don't want to watch the firecrackers, you must have had the same fun as Brother Yun and Brother Cheng. ”
The old lady looked at her and said, "Your mouth is getting more and more oiled, and the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, okay, I know you're coaxing me, and you don't have to go through so much trouble." I'm not afraid to say in front of your sister-in-law, I love the four girls the most among these children, and I can't help her all the time, so don't worry. ”
Lin Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "The old lady who is losing has a good daughter-in-law, and the sister-in-law is broad-hearted. ”
Old Madam Fu sounded a little wrong, and asked, "What do you have to say here?" ”
Lin said with a smile: "Or do you know me, it's not anything else, I took the four girls to the Zhongding Bo Mansion, Mrs. Zhongding Bo and the real sister invited our four girls to live in their house for a few days after the festival, I thought that the real sister and the four girls have always been good friends and agreed, but it happened that today the real sister sent someone to ask if she could take the four girls into the palace for a few days, I heard that the lady concubine wants to see the sisters, the real sister must go, she also wants to take the four girls. ”
When Mrs. Fu heard this, she was suspicious: "Isn't the Zhongding Bofu always unwilling to have a relationship with the concubines in the palace?" Why do you let the four girls pass? ”
"This, there are always exceptions, maybe the lady concubine thinks that the four girls entering the palace so lively will definitely add some excitement to the atmosphere of the New Year in the palace." Lin Shi pondered, in fact, she asked the fourth girl to inadvertently mention this opportunity to the real sister, in order to make Concubine Shu like it, and to show her a good marriage if she can't say it, this is actually only secondary, and there is another reason to depend on the future.
When the old lady heard this, she didn't doubt that there was him, so she also nodded and said, "Since this is the case, with the concubine here, the two of them will be fine." ”
Lin smiled and said, "Yes, thank you mother for agreeing, I will ask someone to send a letter over there in a while." ”
The juniors over there naturally heard what they said here, Fu Xinqing showed a smug smile on her face, and when she looked at everyone, she spontaneously thought that the sisters must be envious of her.
Fu Xiangqing also said in response to the occasion: "Congratulations to the fourth sister, you have won the favor of the palace lady, and the value will definitely rise in the future." This can enter the palace to live for a while, but it is not a benefit that everyone has. ”
"I'm also stained with the light of my real sister, but I'm going with my real sister, and my value is different. I heard that the palace door is also open tonight, and a palace maid and eunuch came out to see the lanterns, and the real sister made an appointment with me to enter the palace with her after reading the lanterns, and told the lady about what she saw and heard outside. Fu Xinqing was also a little impatient as she spoke.
