Chapter 406: Generous Gifts
The second watch, seeking pink...... The female guests who came today were all entertained in the inner house. Coming in from the hall, you will see a huge courtyard, all of which are paved with green bricks, and some cloves and oleanders are planted on the ground, and there are four large vats under the eaves of the upper porch, which are planted with pomegranates. Under the verandah, neatly arranged, they are all red, yellow, and pink in season, and in full bloom, each of which is the size of a fist. In addition to the moon season, there are chrysanthemums in season, mostly yellow, white, purple, and there are varieties in Liaodong Prefecture, almost all of them here.
Some of these flowers and trees were given by people, and some were bought by Lian Man'er's family.
Although it is already late autumn and early winter, these flowers and trees still decorate the entire courtyard with extraordinary delicacy and vitality.
The old lady of the Song family originally said that she would also come to worship the archway in Chapter 406 and congratulate Lian Man'er's family. It's just that it was cold on this day, and her body was not very good, so on this day, she didn't come to work, and only sent Song Hailong and Lian Hua'er.
When Lian Hua'er entered the inner courtyard, she only brought a girl and a mother-in-law with her. These two, even Man'er knows, that is, when Lian Hua'er was pregnant last year, she once came to the Lian family's old house and said that she would ask the Gu family to take care of Lian Hua'er's Aunt Sun and Xiaohong.
These two people usually follow Old Madam Shen to serve.
The old lady of the Song family didn't come, but the words were brought through Aunt Sun.
The gifts brought by the Song family are very rich.
Two kang screens, a suede screen, embroidered with peacock open screen, it is said to be made of real peacock feather weaving and embroidery, suitable for slightly cold weather placement, one is a goose yellow silk silk screen screen, embroidered with flowers at four o'clock, the most suitable for warm weather placement.
A pair of binaural potbelly. , a large porcelain vase with blue and white on a white background, this porcelain vase is a little higher than Xiao Qi. It is the favorite decoration of the rich people in this era. The porcelain bottle can be filled with grain, can also be filled with water, and the mouth of the porcelain bottle can be used for flower arrangement or other decoration.
In addition, there are two sets of high-quality fine porcelain tea sets, two colored satin horses, and two boxes of tribute tea. Two gilded Buddha statues.
Chapter 406 There is also a long wooden box. Inside is a neat layer of silver.
“…… Don't laugh at it, madam, it's our old lady watching us rummage through the cabinets. When I saw this, I said, "It's just right for my wife to reward people." than to go to the square now. Aunt Sun said to Zhang with a smile.
"The old lady thought for us. I can't get enough of that. Zhang said.
The gifts of the old lady of the Song family were neatly prepared, which showed that she really put her heart into it.
In addition to these, the Song family also prepared a gift for Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiao Qi.
A set of four treasures of the study, a set of newly printed books of the Liaodong Mansion official school. This is for Goro and Koshichi. For Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er, it is a carved lacquer makeup box for one person.
"It's a new thing imported from the West. The girl opened it and looked at it. Xiaohong smiled and said to Lian Man'er.
Lian Man'er opened the makeup box as she said, and she didn't feel that she liked it a little. The lid of the box opened, and inside was a whole mirror. Look at the mirror, smooth, clear, clear to people, without the slightest distortion, it is actually the best glass mirror.
“…… The caravan at home had just been brought back, and there were only a few of them, and our old lady was worried about the girl, so she specially ordered to pick up the two best and most delicate ones and give them to the girl. Aunt Sun smiled.
"Let the old lady bother." Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er stood up and thanked them.
"Girl, look at the contents again, do you like it?" Xiaohong said with a smile again.
The makeup box is divided into two layers, the first layer is a handkerchief with gold, a corner of the handkerchief is tied with a set of delicate gold three things, the second layer is divided into several small grids, inside the rouge gouache eyebrows, ivory grate, daily grooming things, all are ready, there is a red gold crested point emerald hairpin, and two red gold small Buddha hands pressed hair.
The Song family's gift is really overwhelming, not only because the gift is expensive, but also because it contains the attention, thoughtfulness, and thoughtfulness of the person who prepared the gift.
"I still helped choose this hairpin and pressed hair." Lian Hua'er finally had a chance to interject at this time.
It has always been Aunt Sun just now, in the name of conveying the words of the old lady, talking to the Zhang family. Lian Hua'er sat next to her, and she could say very little.
Lian Hua'er reached out and took the hairpin, smiled and beckoned Lian Man'er, to carry it on her head.
Lian Man'er approached Lian Hua'er with a smile, but when Lian Hua'er was about to insert the hairpin on her head, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and hid slightly to the side.
Even Hua'er's hand fell into the air.
"Sister Hua'er, this hairpin is not in a hurry to wear it, let's talk over there in a while, and you can slowly help me put it on." Lian Man'er said to Lian Hua'er intimately.
Lian Hua'er smiled, and had to put the hairpin back into the makeup box.
"Okay, we sisters, but it's been a few days since we've talked well together. I'm in the county and I think about you every day. Even Hua'er said with an intimate smile.
Aunt Sun and Xiaohong watched from the side, also with smiles on their faces.
The banquet for the female guests was also divided into two tables, one in the east room and the other in the west room.
On the east side of the house, there are all older female guests, including Zhang's mother Li, her mother's daughter-in-law Wang, Wu Jiaxing's mother-in-law Wang, Lian Lan'er, Wang Juren's wife, Zhixian's wife, and the wives of two subordinate officials in Jinyang County.
On the Westinghouse side, there are younger and younger female customers. The daughter of Youzhi County, who is only ten years old this year, followed her parents to see the excitement, and the other is the youngest daughter of Grandma Huai, Jiang's, Lian Hua'er, Lian Lan'er, Yinsuo, Wu Jiayu, Zhang Caiyun, and then Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er sisters.
Most of the female guests are relatives of Lian Man'er's family, and there are very few others, this is because among the guests who came to worship the archway, only the magistrate of Jinyang County and two subordinate officials brought their families.
There are five rooms in the upper room of the inner courtyard of Lian Man'er's house, and two rooms in the east room, which are the rooms of Lian Shouxin and Zhang's family. Lian Shouxin and Zhang's like to open a large room, so there is no partition between these two rooms, which is similar to the layout of the landlord's house on the old house of the Lian family.
There are two rooms in the West House, which are the rooms of the sisters Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er. There is a carved partition in the middle of the house, and the part above the kang is a blue brick partition at the height of the window sill, and the outside is inlaid with wooden boards, and the part above the window sill. For the carved wooden lattice, inlaid glaze, this glaze is made of the same glaze as the window in the upper room, and the light transmittance is very good. So, although there is a partition. It does not affect the lighting in the room at all.
Underground part. At the same height as the kang is a solid wood partition, above. It is also a carved wooden lattice, and this part is not inlaid with glass, but with thick satin. There is a door in the middle of the partition.
There are two rooms that are separated by this. The outer room is the living room. In the inner room is the bedroom of the two sisters. There is a full-width curtain in the bedroom, the curtain is closed, the door is closed, and the two rooms are completely independent.
This table at the Westinghouse. It was placed on the kang in the outer room.
Zhang Caiyun, Wu Jiayu and Jiang Shi have already come, and the rest of the people. But it's the first time I've come in, and I'm inevitably curious.
Although the daughter of the county is young, she is already a reserved big girl, and when she enters the house, she does not look around, and the grandmother takes a few looks, and then she doesn't look at it anymore.
Only the flowers and silver locks are the most carefully watched.
As soon as you enter the door, behind the door, there are two reclining cabinets against the east side wall, and on the top of the cabinet, there are two hat boxes, and above the hat box, there is a small sitting mirror. This is a common decoration for the wealthy in the family.
Directly opposite the door is the partition, next to the kang, against the wooden partition, there are two chairs, armrests, foot pedals, between the two chairs, is a coffee table, on which a teapot and tea bowl are placed. Leaning against the north wall, there is a large desk, on which are placed two stacks of books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a glass vase, which is inserted with various colored flowers.
Today, the sun is just right, because of the glazed windows, the house is bright, warm and comfortable, and the blue brick floor is spotless.
There was an expression of envy on Yinsuo's face, and even the eyes of the flowers roamed around the room, as if trying to find some mistakes and omissions, but unfortunately they couldn't find it in the end.
Lian Hua'er walked into the house and sat down on a chair on the west side of the kang.
It's only been a year, and Lian Man'er's life is so good. Such a spacious compound, a clean and comfortable environment, an independent bedroom and living room, even before she got married, when she lived in the town, there were no such good conditions and enjoyment.
At that time, she was a young lady from the Xiucai family, and there was a large family behind her to support her.
But how did Lian Man'er's family develop? When the family was separated, it was obvious that several people were crowded into less than two rooms, wearing sewn old clothes, eating coarse rice that was difficult to swallow.
How did Lian Man'er's family get started, Lian Hua'er and the Gu family studied this issue very seriously.
"Who knows what kind of luck it takes? The family worked hard, doing business, farming, doing all the work, doing all the business, thanks to the separation, otherwise, we would have to be tired. As long as they are ordinary people, the two money they earn, and those who leave our homes, sooner or later, are also meat in other people's bowls. Gu once said.
However, on the way to take office, he stayed in the county seat, and Gu's rhetoric changed a little.
Gu asked her if she knew how Lian Shouxin's family climbed to the Shen family.
"Supposedly, this is really an eight-pole can't be beaten. Isn't it, or is it because of you, because of your old lady? ”
Gu asked her to find a chance to explore with the old lady.
Coincidentally, the old lady went to her and asked the same question.
Naturally, she couldn't say why, but she kept an eye on it, and deliberately said that the Lian family and the Shen family might be old relatives, and it was ambiguous.
Lian Man'er's family suddenly got the emperor's reward, and the archway of the imperial gift was built in front of the door, which was too unexpected for her.
"Man'er, you're a good one." Lian Hua'er said with a smile, and a shadow flashed from her eyes in an instant...... Send two more, ask for pink.
