20 If you should forsake it, you will abandon it, and you will fight for it
In the early morning, Mama Lin knocked on the door with Zhuohua holding newly made clothes. When he was about to push the door, the door opened first, and then revealed a beautiful face with a shallow smile.
"How did the girl wake up so early?" Mama Lin was a little surprised by Xiao Zhisu, who got up early, because she had to wait until they came to urge the girl to wake up reluctantly.
"In order to show that I attach great importance to the Wanyuan Club! Who let the nurse you always say that I am absent-minded. Xiao Zhisu smiled purely, and her face without fat powder looked particularly transparent and beautiful in the faint morning light.
Mama Lin smiled wordlessly and shook her head dotingly.
After freshening up, Siu Zhisu changed into new clothes that had been changed several times. The light purple undershirt is covered with a purple begonia color floral cardigan, with a dark purple and light purple alternating water pattern Lingbo stream skirt. The placket, cuffs and tail are embroidered with gold and silver embroidery thread with intricate entwined patterns. Under the crimson palace silk is a transparent crescent-shaped mutton fat white jade pendant and some exquisite flower spikes.
Several small braids made of three strands of braid are loose and half-stranded in an arc, and the center of the knot is tied with a purple ribbon and hung with five purple gemstones inlaid with fine-grained black jade, and the forehead is gradually reduced from the center to the sides.
Light makeup, shallow demeanor, no place is not elegant, no place is not elegant, everything is just right, there is no too scorching beauty, there is no vulgarity enough to be ignored, only pleasant and comfortable to the eye.
"Girl, Zhuohua will accompany you today, you have to pay attention." Mama Lin was very satisfied with Xiao Zhisu's dress, but before leaving, she still told her uneasily.
Xiao Zhisu smiled helplessly, "Nurse, I'm going to the banquet, not to do it, don't worry too much." It's purple, you must help me keep an eye on it. ”
"Yes, Mama, the girl is under my care, don't worry." Zhuohua also reassured.
"Okay, it's not too early, hurry up, don't let the eldest lady wait for a long time."
Xiao Zhisu first went to Qingxin Pavilion to say goodbye to Mrs. Xiao.
Old Mrs. Xiao was also very satisfied with her outfit when she saw her, just as her parents were generally first-class and good, and she didn't say more, just told her a few words and let her leave. It's just that before leaving, a few words popped out that seemed to be casual and well-designed, "Nine girls, your mother has been gone for so many years, and the third room can't always be without a master." In the past few years, Aunt Xue has also managed well, your father is afraid that you will be uncomfortable, so he has never mentioned this stubble, and grandmother will be a bad person and make this matter clear to you. ”
Mrs. Xiao's words caught Xiao Zhisu off guard, and she almost messed up. Obviously said that he was discussing with her, but in fact, he informed her and told her that Aunt Xue's rectification was a certainty, and she couldn't refuse.
Xiao Zhisu came back to her senses, forcibly held back the anger that rolled up in her heart, saluted Old Lady Xiao, and said respectfully, "Jiu'er understands. It's just grandmother, before the aunt is officially corrected, the titles of Yanmei and Brother Jing, the ten girls and the eleventh son, should be stopped first, otherwise people will listen to it, and they still think that our Xiao family has no rules, and there is no distinction between the concubines. ”
Old Mrs. Xiao was surprised for a while, she didn't expect her to accept it so easily, but since she had accepted it, she would just let her call it, anyway, it was just a matter of time. "Nine girls have a point."
"Then Jiu'er will retire first."
Zhuohua left behind Xiao Zhisu, staring at her slender back, and suddenly felt a black cloud pressing down in front of her. The girl seems to be free and easy, but in fact, there are too many things on her immature shoulders.
When Xiao Zhisu came to the gate, Xie Yingqiao was already standing at the door waiting. The aunt's clothes have always been dignified and decent, although there is nothing brilliant and new, but it can always show her unique vision in the details that is different from others, which is also a character that can only be cultivated by a woman who is really born and raised in a family.
Casual every move, word and deed can become a model for other noble ladies.
"Go and get the third son back immediately, I haven't been able to judge what day it is, it's really unbelievable!"
"Yes, ma'am." As soon as the subordinate received the order, he hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Wait. Bring this outfit to him, and when you see him, let him rush directly to Oriliu Villa. Xie Yingqiao took the package from the maid beside him and threw it to the next person, and said, "You bring a message to him, if you don't arrive before the start of the Wanyuan Meeting, he won't want to step out of the gate of Xiao Mansion in the future!" ”
"Hey, the minion understands."
"Let's go." Xie Yingqiao rubbed her temples, how could she give birth to such an unconscious little thing. was depressed, but when he heard a soft voice from behind, he hurriedly turned around and grabbed Xiao Zhisu's hand, swept the gloom in his eyes, and exclaimed, "As soon as we are dressed up, in my opinion, we don't lose to Yun'er's child." ”
"The eldest aunt has won the award, and it is the clothes of the embroidered girls that are well made." Xiao Zhisu lowered her head and smiled. She is right, her clothes were made by the embroidery girl of the cloth village for seven days, and the patterns on it are embroidered by the best embroiderers with a needle and a thread.
Don't say that some of the jewels and jade decorated on the clothes, just this embroidery is worth a lot of money.
"No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they must be worn by people, Su Su must not be presumptuous, your mother was a famous beauty in this city back then, how can her daughter be compared to others." Xie Yingqiao took her hand and looked left and right and felt very satisfied, but she always seemed to feel that something was missing. After looking at it for a long time, she realized that there was no decoration on the exposed half of her wrist. So without thinking about it, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and brought it to Xiao Zhisu.
"Auntie, what is this?" Xiao Zhisu saw the value of this jade bracelet at a glance, the white mutton fat jade, when you put the bracelet in the sunlight and look closely, you will find that there is a light red inside, there is only one pair of red blood mutton fat jade bracelets in the world, one is in the eldest aunt, and the other is in the eldest princess of Zhaoning.
"If the eldest aunt gives it to you, you will keep it, I have no daughter under my knees, and my daughter-in-law can't ask for it for the time being, so I might as well give it to you." Xie Yingqiao said jokingly, seeing Xiao Zhisu's expression of refusal, she deliberately straightened her face and said, "If you don't accept the eldest aunt, you will be angry!" ”
Xiao Zhisu blinked and said playfully, "I'm not so stupid, how can there be a reason not to want good things." As long as the eldest aunt doesn't ask for a daughter-in-law for the two brothers in the future, she will ask Su Su back for her daughter-in-law. ”
After listening to Xiao Zhisu's words, Xie Yingqiao couldn't cry or laugh, and pointed her forehead with her index finger, "Ghost girl!" Okay, you go to the carriage and sit down, and we'll set off when Yan'er and Ah Jing come out. ”
"Okay."
Xiao Zhisu sat in the carriage, closed her eyes and pondered. He said coldly, "Zhuohua, do you think I'm a coward?" Now that I have agreed to my grandmother's idea of correcting my aunt, I have made that meaningless request. ”
Zhuohua was making tea, and when he heard Xiao Zhisu's words, his hand trembled slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said peacefully, "No, it's the opposite." Maybe it's not very appropriate to be commented by the slave, but in the slave's opinion, the girl's move just reflects your excellence, and you should abandon it, and fight for it. You want to tell the old lady that you are not a soft persimmon that can be rounded and flattened, you have your bottom line. ”
"Zhuohua, is the eldest aunt really willing to give you to me?" Hearing Zhuohua's words, Xiao Zhisu was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered, and turned to joke easily.
"It's a blessing for a servant." Zhuohua presented the soaked snow-topped silver needle to Xiao Zhisu with both hands, and smiled calmly.
