Chapter Forty-Nine: It Was Him
After the pomelo approached, they entered the house.
Qufutang is a bright room, a square room, inside Mrs. Gu is surrounded by several jeweled ladies, all sitting on red wood openwork chairs.
Seeing the Zhao family enter the house, Mrs. Gu walked over closely, tilted her head with a smile and said to others: "Mrs. Shen and I are familiar at first sight." He introduced the ladies to the Zhao family one by one: "This is Mrs. Zhang, the mother of Lord Zhang Qian, the servant of the Imperial History, this is the wife of Lord Shi Qi Ying Xuqi, the wife of Lord Lin Fengxian, the senator of the Chinese Minister. ”
After seeing them one by one, before Mrs. Gu introduced the Zhao family, Mrs. Lin smiled charmingly and pulled her over: "No need to introduce, we all know that it is the wife of the new Xuan Xuan envoy Si Shen family." ”
Mrs. Qi also chuckled.
Zhao smiled restrainedly.
Mrs. Zhang had to ask Zhao about the fresh interesting things in White Horse City, and then looked at Zhao, Zhao is wearing a pink round-necked thin jacket embroidered with peony today, the style is ordinary and common, sparse and ordinary, Mrs. Zhang smiled and asked: "Just now we are discussing which clothes are good-looking, Mrs. Gu and I often go to Qin Xiuji, to see Mrs. Shen's satin pattern, not like Qin Xiuji?" Isn't it a new trick in the capital? ”
Except for Mrs. Qi, several ladies looked at each other, and a clear-eyed person knew that this flower was very ordinary, and where it was new, he knew that Mrs. Zhang was teasing Mrs. Shen here.
Shen Rong was a boudoir woman, so she couldn't intervene at all, so she had to stand in a regular manner, and only then did she listen to Mrs. Gu report the doors of those ladies' homes, she thought that the Gu family should have invited all the ladies above the second-grade officials.
And that Mrs. Qi's husband will be Shen Pingcheng's right and left hand in the future.
"Where is the pattern of the capital, it's just a tailor invited by the family." Zhao shook his head and spoke sincerely.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, Mrs. Qi glanced at her disdainfully, she has always been unaccustomed to Mrs. Zhang, because she has no family background, only because she gave birth to a good son, she squeezed into this door circle, she approached the Zhao family, pretending to be a rare look: "Impossible, impossible, this is not a snowy velvet brocade ......"
"Snowy velvet brocade that is hard to find?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened, coughed lightly twice, and raised her eyebrows calmly: "How is it possible?" The snowy velvet brocade is not available for money, and I heard that only two horses are produced in three years, which are made of snow-capped mountain silk, warm in winter and cool in summer. She glanced at Zhao's outfit again, and it didn't look like snowy velvet brocade.
"Mrs. Shen, don't mind if I touch it, I once saw my sister-in-law wear it once in the capital, it doesn't show the mountain dew, but it is extraordinary." Mrs. Gu spoke, and several ladies were silent.
After Mrs. Gu touched the corner of Zhao's sleeve, she was shocked, and immediately nodded: "Sure enough, it is snowy velvet brocade, which is extremely slippery, and at this time, there is a different kind of coolness." ”
Zhao Shi looked down at his brocade, and disagreed: "If the ladies like it, I still have a few horses, and I will go back and let the subordinates send them to the house for the ladies." ”
said lightly and casually, and Mrs. Zhang's face turned white in an instant.
"I can't do it." Mrs. Gu waved her hand again and again, and hurriedly led the topic to the girls: "This child is growing up fast, I saw Sister Rong still like a child some time ago, and when I look at it today, she is dressed like a big girl, and Sister Lan is almost the same." ”
Mrs. Gu opened her mouth and said no, but the other ladies just didn't want to do it anymore, and they couldn't do anything, so they also responded a few words.
Shen Rong and the others were not comfortable here, and Mrs. Gu could see it, so she quipped: "Sister Tong'er has been looking forward to it for a long time, you guys are not interesting here, Shuiyu, take the girls to Sister Tong'er first, and lead them directly to the Furong Garden at noon." ”
"The slave understands." Mizuzu bowed and left the house.
Out of Qufutang, Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "It's calculated, I don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere inside, by the way, the third sister, the second aunt is really wearing snowy velvet brocade?" ”
"Naturally, what's so rare." My grandmother was always stingy, and the merchant who made velvet brocade in the snowy region was a friend of my grandfather.
Even Shen Rong has stayed in White Horse City since he was a child, and he has been nurtured by his grandmother and second uncle to not pay attention to money, not to mention that the Zhao family has been in White Horse City for half of his life.
Shen Ying said "hmm" in a nasal voice with envy, and turned her hand around Shen Lan: "Sister Lan, haven't you ever been to White Horse City, alas, I really don't know what that city is like." ”
Shen Lan's body stiffened slightly, "No." ”
Shen Rong glared at Shen Ying angrily, knowing that Sister Lan had been staying in the Shen Mansion since she was a child, and she said this, she passed Shen Ying on her side: "Sister can go back at any time, grandmother has been thinking about my sister, but unfortunately the fourth sister is afraid that she will not have a chance." ”
She didn't care what Shen Ying's face was, since she knew that she and Zhou Shimin were made by her in various ways, she was already very kind to her.
As they walked along the promenade, the pomelo leading the way in front of them suddenly stopped.
and half-hung his head.
Shen Rongzheng looked around in wonder, his palm was pinched, Shen Lan glanced at her, and that look obviously asked her not to look around.
Suddenly, a group of people walked by on the corridor and greeted them head-on.
Shen Rong vaguely saw that it was a group of men, there were many outsiders in the Gu Mansion, and there were men here, but it was usual.
But when they passed by Shen Rong, Shen Rong felt a strong pressure, and she was a little flustered.
Shuiyu didn't dare to move, and suddenly remembered a dull voice: "Who are these people?" ”
"Back to the master, it is the ladies in the Shen Mansion, and the lady ordered the slave maid to take a few young ladies to the girl."
Shen Rong couldn't help but secretly say, it turned out to be Master Gu, she secretly raised her eyes.
