Chapter Eighty-Eight: Stirring Up Trouble
The ladies and ladies of each family sat down one after another.
Chang was the guest of honor, Xiang Yunling was the praiser, and Mrs. Xiang was called the honorer, and everyone else came to watch the ceremony.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Xiang Yunling led Li Bihua out slowly.
I saw that Li Bihua was wearing a ginger shirt, her hair was only combed in thin braids on her forehead, and the rest were pulled into a bun and stood high on her head.
Li Bihua walked straight to the middle of the hall and knelt on the futon.
Chang praised Li Bihua, which was nothing more than a good-hearted, honest and simple, sensitive, intelligent and the like, and after the praise was finished, he took a tray out to his wife, and put a golden hairpin on the plate.
Another maid came out with a handbag, Chang washed his hands in it, and wiped it with the towel that another maid was holding, and then took a hairpin out and stuck it in the bun.
Later, he said that he hoped that Li Bihua would be more filial to his parents and treat his sisters politely in the future.
Li Bihua respectfully leaned over to listen to Chang's teachings. After Chang finished speaking, Xiang Yunling supported him and kowtowed to Mrs. Li and Chang, bowed to Mrs. Xiang again, and finally blessed the guests.
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's slim and slim body, her face was also full of joy, and she said again and again: "Thank you ladies and ladies for coming to participate in the little girl's ceremony." After a while, the repertoire and banquet were arranged, and the ladies and ladies were invited to enjoy the light. ”
After speaking, a maid came to lead the way.
The ladies and ladies followed them to the garden to see the play.
The ladies were not in a hurry, and they all gathered around Li Bihua to talk.
Li Bihua's eyebrows and eyes are full of joy, and with today's outfit, she looks a lot more mature.
Xiang Yunling took out an inkstone and said, "Sister Bihua, today is a good day for you, and my sister doesn't have anything good, so I found an inkstone and gave it to you as a gift." ”
Li Bihua took it, touched the surface of the inkstone, and said: "This inkstone is warm and shiny, smooth and delicate to the touch, and it must be carefully made." My sister really has a heart. ”
Xiang Yunling listened to the compliment, and couldn't help but be a little proud: "Sister is really good-looking." This is my father was in the capital when a friend sent, it is reported that the south of the end of the state stone polishing three days made, and invited a local master to carve auspicious clouds on the top, even in the south of the production area is rare. ”
Li Bihua listened to Xiang Yunling's words, and hurriedly retreated: "Since it is so precious, and it is a gift from a respected friend, how can I take what I want, sister, take it back quickly." ”
Xiang Yunling didn't accept it, and said, "My father has already given me the inkstone, and it's up to me what to do with it." My sister also knows that I have never liked to read, and it is a waste to let me go, so it is better to give it to someone as talented as my sister, and it will not take much effort to build this inkstone. ”
Since Xiang Yunling said this, Li Bihua didn't want to accept it, and after thanking her repeatedly, she asked the maid to put it away.
There is also Miss Dou and Miss Dong have sent jade bracelets, and the gems are shaking. Even Tian Wuniang and Liang Xiuming also sent gold and jade ornaments. Qi Zhen also sent a pair of gold Xiaohong geese.
Huiyu couldn't help but be a little surprised, these young ladies are really rich, and they are all valuables, but fortunately they listened to Tang's mother's words and were prepared, otherwise it would be really embarrassing...... However, is the rouge brocade box prepared by yourself a little cold?
Huiyu was thinking about the right time to take out a gift, so she heard Yunling say, "Sister Huiyu, what gift have you prepared?" Take it out and take a look. ”
For a while, everyone looked at Hui Yu.
Fiercely named like this, and everyone was watching, Huiyu couldn't care about it so much, broke the jar and took out the rouge brocade box, and said: "This is the new rouge brocade box from the red silk rouge shop, I look at the bright color, especially suitable for Sister Bihua, I don't know if my sister likes it." ”
Li Bihua obviously didn't expect Hui Yu to send a box of rouge, and her eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly changed to a polite smile and said, "Hui Yu's gift is really ingenious. The Red Silk Rouge Shop is a shop that has become famous recently, and her new products are sometimes hard to find, but I borrowed the light of Huiyu to try it. ”
It's good to be exquisite, but Hui Yu is not so embarrassed by such words.
Hui Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she heard Danyu's voice sound, and said: "The third sister is really, she won't prepare gifts or ask a word, such a box of rouge is really embarrassing for the Chu family." ”
Hui Yu's face couldn't help but turn red all of a sudden, and everyone was also amazed at how Dan Yu had lost her sister's face, harming others and herself......
Before everyone could react, Danyu called Ling'er to bring a brocade box over and said, "Sister Bihua is so dignified and noble, how can ordinary vulgar things be worthy?" My sister began to look for gifts for her sister a few months ago, and I found a suitable one some time ago, and I hope my sister will not dislike it. ”
Li Bihua was surprised by Danyu's actions, but his face was also polite, and when he took the brocade box and opened it, he saw that there were five gold bars in it, each of which was engraved with the words "rich and auspicious".
Li Bihua's face changed, isn't this laughing at her for only recognizing gold and silver vulgar things?
The other girls whispered when they saw the box of gold bars.
Danyu pretended to be nothing, and asked, "How is it, Sister Bihua thinks that her sister's gift is satisfactory?" ”
Li Bihua endured and endured, and only then did she resist the urge to overturn this box of gold bars, and only said: "My sister really exalts me, I am just a mortal, I dare not accept such a valuable gift, my sister should keep it for her own use." ”
Dan Yu smiled again: "Sister is too humble, in our northwest city, if my sister is second, no one will dare to call her first." I think my sister is worthy of this gift. ”
Li Yinhua couldn't bear it when he saw his sister being humiliated like this, and said: "Sister Danyu is beautiful and wise, and she was born in the Hou Mansion, where can our Li family sisters compare?" Sister Danyu really tormented us when she said this. ”
Li Bihua saw that Yinhua was impulsive, and he was about to have a dispute again, and the scene of such a thing in his own ceremony was not good-looking, and he was thinking about how to resolve it.
I saw that Mrs. Li's mother came to urge her to go to the garden to watch the play, and the play was about to start.
Li Bihua didn't have time to shirk anymore, so she had to ask the girls to go to the garden to watch the play first.
Before leaving, Danyu attached it to Hui Yu's ear and said softly: "How is it, my sister helped you breathe this comfortably, right?" ”
Hui Yu slandered in her heart, no one asked you to help you get angry! It seems that it is because of himself. Don't bring such a black pot. Then he also said softly: "My sister didn't feel wronged, so why did she say it?" ”
Dan Yu glanced at Hui Yu coldly and said, "I didn't expect my sister to be such a person who swallows her anger, but she calls me a good person for nothing." ”
After saying that, he drifted away.
Hui Yu really can't laugh or cry, how can there be such a person who feels good about himself? It's obvious that he is provoking trouble, but he has to say that he is helping each other......
Seeing that Huiyu was still in place, Duo Yu couldn't help but pull Huiyu's sleeve and said, "Third sister, let's hurry up and follow." ”
Only then did Hui Yu come back to her senses, and she walked a few steps briskly with Duo Yu, following the girls in front of her. But overheard the girl of the Dong family whispering to Qi Zhen: "I heard that your brother and the second girl of Chu are married?" With such a powerful character, why did your family fall in love with her? ”
Qi Zhen didn't like Danyu in the first place, and it was Mrs. Qi and Qi Peng who persuaded her for several days to accept this fact, and when the girl of the Dong family said this, the unhappiness in her heart came up again. But he didn't want to say in front of outsiders that his future sister-in-law was not good, so he had to bite his lip and not say anything.
Huiyu saw that Qi Zhen was silent, so she stepped forward and took Qi Zhen's hand, and said, "I haven't seen Sister Zhen for a few days, why don't you come with me." Let's have a chat. ”
Qi Zhen was naturally willing to stay with Hui Yu and nodded happily.
When they arrived at the stage, the ladies were already seated. The girls also sat down in twos and threes.
Hui Yu, Duo Yu, and Qi Zhen sat together. Danyu picked a seat in the back and sat with Tian Wuniang and Liang Xiuming.
This scene was seen by the sharp-eyed Mrs. Xiang, so she smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the second girl Chu was also shy, sitting so far away, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to sit with the future sister-in-law, right?" ”
Chang frowned and called Caixia to call Danyu over.
After a while, Danyu followed Caixia over.
Chang Shi took Danyu's hand and said, "You are also a person who is about to die, and you don't know how to say hello to the ladies when you come." ”
Danyu hurriedly blessed the ladies.
only called Danyu, not Huiyu and Duoyu, and the discerning people knew at a glance that they wanted Mrs. Qi to talk to Danyu, so the other ladies also said a few polite words and didn't talk again.
Danyu was already tall and beautiful, and she made a dignified and virtuous appearance in front of Chang's family, and Mrs. Qi liked it more and more she liked it. He asked, "What do you do at home besides going to school?" "What are your hobbies?" Something like that.
Danyu also answered them one by one.
Mrs. Qi nodded in satisfaction and ended the conversation in a timely manner.
