Chapter 271: Flying Frost Gathering
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went out to play very happily. The two of them are in love, between the mountains and rivers, close to nature, and have a lot of fun.
In the county lord's mansion, the snow is not idle, in addition to taking care of the housekeeping in the mansion every day, but also to ask people to find some precious chrysanthemum varieties everywhere, put them up, and really open the warehouse with Shui Han, take out the things, and decorate the mansion, originally this mansion was newly built, such a dress, it is even more beautiful.
Rong Xue took the fabric, called the sewing room in the house, and made more than half of the clothes. In the sewing room in Chen Wenhui's house, there is not one embroiderer, there are thirty embroiderers, all of whom are first-class skills. These embroiderers do not make clothes for the servants in the house, and the clothes of the servants are contracted to be made by Cuijin Lou. These embroiderers work full-time for Chen Wenhui, Zhao Chongyi, and the three masters of making snow, so they can make half of the clothes for making snow in such a fast time.
Lang Xue tried on these new clothes and found that these clothes were the best in terms of workmanship, embroidery craftsmanship, and style, better than the clothes she made in Cuijin Building. After all, these thirty embroiderers are all in Qingchun City, trained by those top embroiderers who came out of the palace, and they are first-class masters. Naturally, it is better than the embroidery skills of Cuijin Building, which makes clothes for ordinary officials.
The snow is already very beautiful, and she is in the period of a beautiful girl, and once she is dressed up with these clothes and jewelry, she suddenly shines brightly.
Shui Han and some grandmothers in the house deliberately taught Xue to make up for the flaws in receiving people and things, making Xue more temperamental. and the dusty red card lady before. It's like a serious official girl's family.
The day before the Feishuang gathering, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi rushed back. Returning to his main courtyard to freshen up and wash away the fatigue of the journey, Chen Wenhui called the housekeeper to ask questions, and found that Langxue managed the mansion well, and even the things about the Feishuang gathering were also well organized.
Chen Wenhui called for Xue to come over and said, "I didn't expect my sister to be really talented, and in just a few days, she was able to take care of the house in an orderly manner." Even the things of the party are well arranged. ”
Rong Xue blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, you're back." I'm so nervous, tomorrow is the right day, if you don't come back, what will I do alone? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's the first time that such a banquet has been held in my mansion. How could I not be at home? And. This is the first time that the aristocratic circles of the entire capital have known about it. Our Zhao family has a noble daughter, which is related to your future reputation and your future social activities. Even important things related to your future marriage, how can I not come back? ”
Snow's face turned redder.
Chen Wenhui said: "You have prepared all the things that need to be prepared in the house, have you memorized all the things about etiquette?" ”
Rong Xue hurriedly said: "I have memorized this." Also, the girls invited by Sister Mingzhu and sister-in-law, the wives, the relationship between the families, and the grandmother also told me again. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "That's it, don't be nervous." Actually, I don't have much contact with these nobles and ladies in the capital. However, our family is now powerful, and even if we don't do well in any place, others don't dare to say anything for the sake of our family's power. By the way, I forgot an important thing. Among the people I invite tomorrow, there is also Zhao Yufei, the third sister of Chongyi, the third girl of the Zhao family. ”
Getting Xue couldn't help but be a little surprised and overwhelmed. Although she followed her brother and also had the surname Zhao, she was a girl from the Zhao family, but in her heart, she always felt that Zhao Yufei from the Zhongyi Mansion was the authentic Zhao girl, and she was like a fake. If there was no Zhao Yufei, she would still be a girl of the Zhao family with peace of mind, but with Zhao Yufei here, she would inevitably feel strange and a little timid.
The table of making snow is in Chen Wenhui's eyes. She smiled and said: "She is a girl from the Zhao family, but there are many girls with the surname Zhao in the capital, is her surname Zhao, and no one else is allowed to have the surname Zhao." Don't worry, you, Miss Zhao, are different from her, Miss Zhao. She is a girl from the Zhongyi Mansion, and you are a girl from the County Lord's Mansion. Your brother is a second-class member, your sister-in-law is the county lord, the governor of Nanyang, and a first-class member, you are not only an official family, but also a relative of the royal family, or a relative of my Xiao Chen family, in terms of identity, you are not worse than her at all. You have to show the momentum of the county lord's mansion and compare her to her, this is my Chen Wenhui's sister. Do you understand? ”
With that, the snow has the confidence to do it again. Yes, this Zhao is not the Zhao of the Zhongyi Mansion. This time, everyone looked at the face of the county lord, and also looked at the face of Xiao Chen's family. Mrs. Bai of the Xiao Chen family, Chen Wenhui's two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Wan and Mei, will all come over, this is on their own territory, and there is no need for stage fright.
The cowardice on Rong Xue's face was gone, and it was replaced by a kind of self-confidence. Chen Wenhui nodded secretly, as long as Rongxue has confidence, in fact, speaking of it, not to mention presiding over such a party, there are Mingzhu and himself, his mother, and sister-in-law to help, but without his own people, to deal with these little girls, Rongxue will definitely be able to deal with it, after all, what Rongxue is best at is actually ushering in and sending it after studying in the Qinglou for so many years, when it comes to communication, I am afraid that none of the nobles in the capital can compare to this former red card lady. That's a skill.
Chen Wenhui was very relieved, and got up with Langxue and took off to the frost courtyard to check. I found that the taste of making snow is really talented for the matching of colors, and the layout of the Flying Frost Courtyard is elegant and pleasant, showing the wealth of the county lord's mansion everywhere in a low-key manner, and I can't help nodding secretly.
The next day came quickly, early in the morning, Zhao Chongyi went out, there was a gathering of ladies at home, and it was not suitable for him to stay at home. It just so happened that he hadn't been to the prince's east palace for several days, so he took advantage of this time to go to the prince's place to sit.
Chen Wenhui and Rong Xue dressed up and prepared to welcome the guests. The first to arrive was the Pearl. I saw that Mingzhu was wearing an autumn-colored makeup gown today, and below it was a silver-red flowered skirt, which looked very beautiful.
Chen Wenhui smiled and said to Mingzhu: "It's rare for you to have such a big pearl necklace with such a big string of jewels around your neck, but you bought it from Tianshui City?" ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Yes, it was brought back from the last time I went to Nanyang." Nowadays, such a big pearl, such a round and delicate, the same size, but it is not easy to find, so it is no problem for me to use it to support the scene. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Do you still have to support the scene? Now Brother Liu is hot, I don't know how many of your officials and dependents, you are wearing shit, I am afraid that some people will praise you. ”
Mingzhu said: "Where can I compare with you, Jingyuan's power can be compared to your Xiao Chen family?" Look at you, it's the first time to entertain guests in this house, and you don't have to dress up, or only wear these three or five jewelry, it's really too lazy. However, your pearl-embellished shirt is chic and looks gorgeous, what's wrong? Is it going to set off a pearl fever in the circle of noblewomen in the capital? To take the opportunity to market your pearls from the South Seas? Seeing you like this, your second sister-in-law should be happy. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Let you see through it at a glance." I do everything I do to do more with less. Don't you see that in addition to the pearls on this shirt, this large sideburns made of South Sea gems is the most eye-catching? I believe that after today, our Nanyang jewelry will be very popular. It can also be regarded as a little contribution to our Nanyang city. It's not in vain that I'm spending money on this party. ”
Mingzhu laughed and said, "You're fine." ”
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Lang Xue, and found that Rong Xue was dressed very exquisitely today, with a thin layer of grease powder on her flower-like face, and a trembling jewel on her forehead, which looked dazzling and made people dare not look directly. There is also this rose purple folded branch gold thread dress, which looks noble and generous, and she is really a famous lady.
Mingzhu nodded and said, "It's a good outfit to make snow." After today, you will definitely become the new favorite of everyone in the capital. ”
I'm a little embarrassed to make the snow.
While he was talking, Bai had already brought his two daughters-in-law over. The Bai family is also dressed up very grandly today, and the Wan family and the Mei family are also dressed up brilliantly. Especially Mei's, a body of clothes, jewelry is really based on pearls. The pearl who watched laughed. Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu hurriedly went to greet them. Greeted the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Bai family over to drink tea in the flower hall, Bai smiled and said: "I see that your mansion is beautifully dressed, didn't you go out with Chongyi to play?" Where did the time come from to make this? ”
Chen Wenhui had the heart to lift up the snow and said: "Mother, I'm at home, and I'm not good at this." This is all when I was away, I taught the servants to make snow, how about it, can it still get into my mother's eyes? ”
Bai Shi was very happy to hear this, stretched out his hand to make Xue, took Rong Xue's hand and said, "Good boy, you still have this ability, it can be seen that you are capable." I'm going to reward you for something, well, the things I brought are ordinary, but there's a good one. Red carp, take my red gold nine treasure step shake and give it to Miss Zhao. ”
The red carp hurriedly went to get it, it was a red lacquer box, and the red gold nine treasures looked exquisitely made, noble and generous. In particular, the gems on it are very large and shiny, which is really a fine product.
Langxue hurriedly thanked him.
Everyone is talking here, and there are already guests coming to the door. Chen Wenhui took the snow and Mingzhu to the front to greet the guests. The girls handed it over to Rong Xue to entertain, and the ladies went to talk to Bai. About half an hour later, almost all the guests arrived.
Chen Wenhui invited everyone to move to the Flying Frost Courtyard, which had been properly arranged a long time ago. (To be continued......)
