Chapter 7: The Congregation I
After the tenth day of the lunar month, the day of Dingjing entered the winter, and it became colder and colder, Xingzhao wrapped the mink fur on his body, and held a red gold hand stove tightly in his hand, and his fingertips were still as cold as ice.
As soon as the door was pushed, Rongshoutang was full of prosperity, and the second lady was talking with Mrs. Tai, and when she saw Xingzhao, she hurriedly beckoned to her with a smile: "Come here, come quickly, this drop of water is frozen in the sky, you are not greedy for warmth, you came so early." β
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the day of the three-room church meeting, the female dependents are determined to meet in Rongshoutang at the beginning of the year, and then go to Badeng Lane, and the male dependents will go to Badeng Lane after school and school.
Now there is still some time before the beginning of the year, and the second lady and He Xingming have always been in a hurry.
Xingzhao greeted him and smiled at Xingming, and then sat obediently beside Mrs. Tai. Look at Xingming's top is a green silk jacket, below are eight goose yellow skirts, covered with a water sky blue color five bats holding longevity shirt than the armor, the waist is embellished with a few pleats, like water lines between actions, and then a small child, a few cloisonnΓ© beads are inserted in the temples. It's no longer the dress of a little girl, and her actions are all girl's appearance.
Yes, Xingming turned the New Year, that is, he was eleven years old, and most of the daughters of noble families began to talk about marriage at the age of eleven or twelve, and they said that they should get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
The selection of sons-in-law and daughters-in-law is carried out in the court banquet between the families.
Not long after, the eldest lady took He Xingxiao and Sister Xin to Rongshoutang.
He Xingxiao followed the eldest lady and wore a moon-white skirt, twisted her eyebrow-high bangs, and hung a transparent Meigu Shou Yubi around her waist, lowered her eyebrows, meek and respectful, and Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction, this is what a concubine should look like.
Seeing He Xingxiao followed by Mother Sun again, Mrs. Tai had a smile in her eyes, glanced at Xingzhao, beckoned Sister Xin, Xingzhao and Xinniang helped Mrs. Tai left and right, and went out.
Mrs. Tai has a carriage, the eldest lady and the second lady have one, Xingzhao, Xingming, and Xingxiao have one, and the servants and mothers follow at the end.
The carriage leisurely out of the Jiujing Hutong, through the Shunzhen Gate, the Jiujing Archway, Shuangfu Street, and then turn left for 300 meters, it is near.
Since listening to the confrontation between Mrs. Tai and the third lady that day, Xingzhao has been thinking day by day about how to let his mother avoid the trouble in Yingyi. Mother went in the first month. During the Chinese New Year, the red lantern, Ying Yi's front feet wore a bright red cloud sleeve jacket full of gold and came out of his mother's room with a smile, and his mother's back feet swallowed gold.
On the day her mother left, she hugged her mother's soft body with body temperature, howled and cried, holding scissors in her hand, and wanted to rush out to find someone desperately. But who to find to pay for her life, the seven or eight-year-old lady didn't understand why her mother disappeared overnight, and the red lantern flashed with a swaying red light, which was the blood and tears that her mother didn't have time to shed.
The carriage was bumpy, Xingzhao gritted his teeth, and pinched the hem of his skirt in his hand, Xingming was only surprised, and pushed Yang Zhao to the side: "What are you doing in your heart?" Didn't talk along the way. β
Xingzhao was pushed, came back to his senses, took a deep breath, let go of his hand and smoothed the skirt, and when he raised his head, he smiled and bent his eyebrows: "It's nothing, it's almost there." β
As he spoke, Lianyu, who had already gotten out of the car, said through the curtain: "Three girls, we have arrived." β
Xingzhao got out of the car with Xingming, standing under the gray wall and blue bricks, the three-entry house in this eight-lamp lane is the family property obtained by the third master when he divided the family. In Dingjing, every inch of land has always been gold, not to mention that Badeng Lane is backed by Qianli Mountain, in front of which is the lively Baocheng Street on the top of the capital boundary, and there are some noble families who are reading next to it. With the official son of He Sanye and Liupin, if you want to buy real estate here, then please be good, mix in the court for a few more decades, and wait until you enter the Xiangbai Pavilion to take a look.
Mrs. Tai has always been willing to give, and the greater she gives, the more she gets.
Mother He wore a water-red satin gold gown, smiled with a wrinkled face, and greeted her from afar, greeted her heavily, and called out repeatedly: "Mrs. Tai, you are here!" Madame wants to accompany all the wives and wives, and you can send a servant to wait for you at the door from noon! β
Mrs. Tai was not polite to her, put it on her hand, walked through the shadow wall, and asked, "How many gentlemen are here?" β
"Master Hou, the second master and the third master are talking to the old men in the outer courtyard, Young Master Jing and Young Master Yun are accompanying them, and the seventh master and Xiao Langjun are stubborn in the flower hall." Mother He bowed and led, and before Mrs. Tai asked, she accosted: "Thanks to you, Mrs. Li just came, and most of the relatives have come, and the eldest princess of Ying Yi said that she came after a lunch break, and the time should come." β
While talking, when it came to the conservatory, the third lady was sharp-eyed, and hurriedly greeted her with joy, took Mrs. Tai's arm, and greeted: "Mother, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come, the daughter-in-law is about to panic!" β
The third lady is the master's family today, dressed up in a rich and compelling appearance, sprinkled with gold and rose-red jackets, glowing blue and bright beeswax dots cuier, and the buckles on the placket are all crystal round pearls, not like the family of the six-grade civil official, but a little like the wife of the head of the Hou Mansion.
When the ladies heard this, they gathered around and saluted each other with compliments.
Mrs. Tai smiled and only bowed her head, and picked up a few greetings.
Li Lingqing's wife came over last, but she was the most familiar, followed by a little lady carved in pink, holding Xingzhao with one hand and Xingming with the other, her eyes fell on Xingxiao, and she smiled and said: "In the end, the old lady will train people, and a few girls are raised like flowers and bones, which makes our family's seven mothers disgraced!" β
Mrs. Tai pulled her arm away from the third lady's hand without a trace, and hugged the little lady with a smile: "Qi Niang is my heart and liver baby, you are muddy, but you are not allowed to say that we are Qi Niang!" β
Mrs. Li smiled even more happily, and asked Qi Niang to go to Xingzhao to play, and took Mrs. Tai to sit inside.
Seeing this, the third lady smiled, beckoned the eldest lady and the second lady, and asked Xingqing to take Qi Niang's hand.
Xingming leaned into Xingzhao's ear and whispered: "I look at the official kiln jade blue and white dendrobium, a bit like the one we used to put in our house..."
Xingzhao had something in his heart, so he only pursed his lips and didn't say anything. In my first life, I found that human feelings are all articles. Three-room church meeting, most of the people invited are Qingliu scholars, and you should go to simplicity and simplicity, so that others can forget about your noble background. There is the old porcelain of Lin'an Hou's Mansion, with gold plates and bowls, and Zhou's body is full of pearls and emeralds, don't offend the Xungui family here, and Qingliu can't stand it well.
The concubine has the circle of the concubine, and the concubine has the circle of the concubine. Qi Niang's temperament is not like her mother's long-sleeved dance, which is a nonsense. Xingming is a person who can speak, but unfortunately Xingzhao has something on his mind, Qi Niang only smiled when he spoke, Xingqing was weak and rarely spoke, so he was inevitably a little discouraged, and thinking about what his mother explained today, he couldn't help but blush, and he sat upright.
However, He Xingxiao and several concubines had a hot fight.
It was about three o'clock before I heard a voice outside: "The eldest princess of Yingyi has arrived!" β
Not long after, there was a woman in her early thirties wearing a garnet red phoenix pattern sixteen moonflower skirts, with three cloisonne white jade ancient carved golden hairpins on her head, combing her fairy hair high, and a tourmaline moire bracelet on her hand, with exquisite makeup, eyebrows like green daisies, and a mouth like a pearl, a woman in her early thirties came in dignifiedly, and two columns of people opened the curtain, and suddenly a cold wind blew on the ground, which made Xingzhao's heart cold.
"I've seen the eldest princess of Yingyi." And they all bowed and sang with their mouths in their mouths.
"Hurry up!" Ying Yi took two steps forward, bent down and helped Mrs. Tai up, and then swept towards everyone, his eyes fixed on the eldest lady Fang's body, and then said, "All are exempt." β
Xingzhao looked at Ying Yi coldly, and suddenly remembered that if she really took the scissors in her previous life and peeled off Ying Yi's heart, would her heart be red or black.
As soon as Ying Yi came, the atmosphere cooled down, and when the third lady saw this, she hurriedly beckoned people to go to Tingyin Hall.
A few little ladies fell behind, Xing Ming looked at Ying Yi, who was walking in the front, and muttered: "Didn't you say that the eldest princess is a new widow?" How dare you come out to socialize, and you still wear red, you can't tell that you just died..."
Qi Niang hurriedly covered Xingming's mouth and didn't tell her to continue.
Xingzhao held his head high, straightened his waist, folded his hands between his abdomen, and wrapped a circle of embroidered swastikas on the edge of the pink peach skirt rose with the wind, and his eyebrows fell firmly on the eldest lady's body. Since your mother has a round face with a blessed appearance, then you shouldn't suffer like this, as long as you don't die, even if Ying Yi has great ability, you won't be able to enter the He family!
