Chapter 244: Annoyed
Zheng's personality is sparse, she has been a duchess for many years, she still likes to go straight, she has reached a certain status, and she can do whatever she wants in many things, Zheng looks down on people who please her, and she has always loved to ignore her, Yufang, this girl has a dull temperament, and she really doesn't have Zheng's mind.
Zheng still wore a dress in front of Yufang's interview, and said with a smile that he wore this set when he entered the palace for a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The state banquet of the Great Xia Dynasty is New Year's Day, and the internal and external wives have to wear the clothes of Mrs. Fate, and the rest of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival and other festivals are casual, Mrs. Yi Fang will say so.
When Yufang heard Zheng say this, she couldn't erase her face, whispered a few words of humility, and pursed her lips and smiled.
Mrs. Fang asked Yao to also try the mung bean cake made by Yuqin, Yao picked up a piece and ate it, praised it with a smile, and pulled Yufang up and down, even praised Yufang's skill, "Those patterns have never been just Mei Lanju of some years of cold and three friends, as well as persimmon patterns, treasure elephants, Ruyi, Liuyun Baibat, and Yutang's rich magnolia, begonia, peony, and what is the joy of the eyebrows, eight treasures of spring, Vientiane Shengping, I have also seen the world, I have never seen a wild goose embroidered, what is this wild goose in its mouth?" β
Yufang said with a smile, "This is all my fifth sister's idea, the fifth sister said, my aunt has gone to Saiwai, and when I finish embroidering, it should be autumn, embroidering some geese is also suitable for the occasion, and I don't know how to draw wild geese, all of them are my fifth sister to help me." β
Yao Shi took Yuqin's hand and praised again, and then pulled Yufang and said with a smile, "I want to make a Yuehua skirt for your sister Yan, you girl is skillful, how about you help embroider Lanbian?" The fourth aunt can't let you be busy in vain, this bracelet is given to you. β
Yao took off a jade bracelet from his wrist to give it to Yufang, Yufang was like being stung by a bee, he smiled reluctantly and hurriedly excused himself, Yao was very enthusiastic, he had to give it, and begged Yufang to embroider the skirt, Fang Xinyan also pulled Yufang's hand and smiled, "Fourth sister, didn't you look at this bracelet?" I still have a hairpin here, and I just ask my fourth sister to help me embroider the edge. β
Yufang was about to cry urgently, and when she saw Zheng's look of a good show, she was even more ashamed in her heart, she didn't want to embarrass the second sister, Yufang blushed and smiled, "If my aunt can take a fancy to my embroidery work, let me help Sister Yan embroider slowly, and ask my aunt to take back this bracelet." β
Yao said with a smile, "Look at your child, the elder is not allowed to resign, hurry up and put it away, it's annoying that you don't accept me." β
Yufang looked at Yuqin for help, Yuqin had been wandering around the world just now, thinking that Fang Xinyan wanted to make a Yuehua dress, mostly for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yao's family was not as simple as Mrs. Fang and her sister, and she had already prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace.
The daughter of the Fang family is noble, and the daughter of the Li family should be an embroiderer.
Yuqin smiled and took the bracelet, "I'll keep it for the fourth sister, the fourth aunt is our elder, and the bracelet given to my sister is also to cherish my sister's character, where is it good for us to be juniors, it's a big deal that Sister Yan will send more boxes when she gets married, if you don't want to wear this bracelet if you don't like it, it's good to keep it for reward, Sister Fang's Lanbian waits slowly, and the fourth sister has to embroider a skirt for me first." β
After Yuqin finished speaking, he pulled Yufang and turned around and left.
Yao smiled angrily, "The fifth miss of the Li family has such a delicate temper, what does she mean by this, although it is a child's words, it also chills people's hearts, I see that Miss Fourth has no ornaments, she kindly sent her, Miss Fifth stopped her head, Miss Fifth must be because I didn't send her, I just think that Miss Fifth is Miss Yan, I can't lack these, Miss Four looks pitiful." β
Zheng seemed to be smiling, "Brother and sister, you look away, the Li sisters don't like to wear these ornaments, you see that my daughter-in-law has only a few hairpins on her head, you don't see my daughter-in-law's makeup, the real one hundred and twenty dowry, there are not many people in the capital who accompany their daughters like this, although Yufang is a concubine, she is liked by the Li sisters, and she is respected by the prince, so she looks up to her, and you still let her do the work of the embroiderer." β
After Zheng finished speaking, he sipped tea and smiled, Yao was taken aback, "Yufang has won the respect of the prince?" β
Zheng had a rare and strange look, "Brother and sister, you have been in the capital for a few days, in the spring, Yufang and her third sister accidentally fell into the water, Yufang committed suicide by hitting a mountain rock, you haven't heard of it, the prince was still the eldest son of the Li family at that time, and he came forward to hold grievances for the Yufang sisters, kicked Liu He, and stabbed Liu Yuwei, which caused a sensation for a while, isn't this respecting Yufang?" β
Yao said with a smile, "It's all my shallow knowledge, I don't know these things." β
Zheng smiled, "What kind of family is the Li family, it is stronger than our Fang family, the Li family has a meritorious role in raising the prince, Li Hou Ye added the crown prince and the prince, and the saint did not add the title of the prince, that is left to the prince to give grace, Yufang's mother-in-law is a princess, Li Hou Ye has already said that he will give Yufang eighty dowries in the future, and my daughter-in-law told me this." β
Yao's was really surprised, the dowry of eighty lifts, that is the value of the daughter-in-law, "The niece and daughter-in-law are the wife of the prince, and she deserves a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts, and Yufang also has a dowry of eighty lifts?" β
Zheng took the grapes peeled by the maid and ate them slowly, "Yufang is honest, she won't coax people to be happy with rhetoric, you treat her as an embroidery girl, and you can't complain that the fifth lady is unhappy, what is your value in the village?" β
Yao said with a smile, "How can I take the child's words to heart, but has the fifth lady's family affairs been decided, and the sister-in-law should also talk to her niece and daughter-in-law, the woman is still chaste and quiet, and the fifth lady's temper is a little anxious, and the in-laws will not be able to deal with her in the future." β
Zheng Shi seemed to be smiling, "My daughter-in-law is not a cannon temper, our old man only says that she is good, it can be seen that it depends on what kind of in-laws, whether the fifth lady has a good temperament or not, she is in charge of her princess and mother-in-law, how can there be any reason for outsiders to talk about it." β
When Yao heard his sister-in-law carry out the princess, he didn't dare to say anything, so he said something else and went back.
Yao's farewell went back, and sent the housekeeper to inquire about it, silently calculating in his heart, Yufang's temperament is soft, and she is easy to handle, although she is a concubine, it is enough to make up for these dowries, and her nephew is sixteen years old, and it is not bad if she can marry Yufang, I don't know if Li Houye is willing to bring his uncle.
wrote to her second sister again, Yao's second sister is the grandmother of the Xiao family's ten rooms, and her nephew is ranked twenty-one in the Xiao family, and she is a handsome person, if she was left in the past, how could a little concubine like Yufang be eye-catching, the Xiao family has not been as good as before these years, relying on the princess of Yanci to support the faΓ§ade, and there is not much property in the ten rooms, and she cares about the dowry of her daughter-in-law.
Yufang and Yuqin returned to Cuiyuexuan, still a little uneasy in their hearts, "How can you open your mouth to offend the fourth lady?" Isn't this causing trouble for the second sister? β
Yuqin sneered, "What if you offend her?" Do you really want to embroider a skirt for Fang Xinyan? It's all the same young lady, you are not the embroidery lady of the Fang family, look at her disgusting face, our Li family doesn't have a bracelet? β
Yufang hurriedly covered her mouth, "Fifth sister, you should be quiet, you offended her, what if you embarrass the second sister?" β
Yuqin was stunned for a while, big tears flowed down, the second sister was good to their sisters, Mrs. Fang was also kind, in the end, it was under the fence, no wonder Yufang was compromised, there was Brother Shen to avoid it before, and she couldn't go back in the future, the princess's mother came with a few letters, imploring Mrs. Fang to take care of their sisters and brothers, and the princess couldn't come back for the time being.
Yufang saw that Yuqin was crying, and hurriedly whispered to comfort her, Yuqin cried more and more, hid her head in Yufang's arms, and Yufang's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to tell Yutan to know.
Three days later, the Fang family organized a flower viewing banquet, Fang Xinyan helped entertain the guests, there were a lot of female dependents, the Fang family has been in the limelight recently, the young lady is Miss Li, and the young lady is eager to come over to the people who received the invitation, the young lady is greeted by Fang Xinyan, and composes poems in the pavilion.
The ladies gathered in the water pavilion to enjoy the flowers and eat wine, and after talking and laughing, Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "A few girls in the house should also be invited to come over and let me meet, I have heard that Miss Fang is excellent, and the two young ladies of the Li family are also very good." β
Mrs. Fang asked the three young ladies to come over.
The three sisters went over together, Fang Xinyan smiled, looked at Yuqin and quipped, "The fifth sister is overjoyed." β
Yufang's news was sluggish, and it wasn't until Fang Xinyan joked that she didn't know that Shen Gongzi was also here.
Yufang looked at Yuqin and stopped talking.
Yuqin listened to Miss Fang's joke, as if she didn't understand, the three sisters smiled and said goodbye, Mrs. Shen pulled Fang Xinyan and praised her, gave a pair of hairpins, and then praised Yufang, which was also a pair of crystal hairpins, and when Yuqin arrived, Mrs. Shen took off the bracelet and helped Yuqin wear it on her hand.
Yuqin didn't see a shy flush on his face, lowered his eyes and thanked him, and stood aside without saying a word, which coincided with the word Zhenjing.
The ladies are all human spirits, how can I not understand this situation, the eldest son of the Shen family has made meritorious contributions, and he formed an army at a young age, and this time he has won a reward for his meritorious service, only the fourth son of the Shen family has not yet married, and he is from Moquan Academy, so they all smiled and said some auspicious words, and it happened that there was a burst of laughter from the male guest seat, and some people shouted good poems.
But it turned out that it was the fourth son of the Shen family who wrote poems and won the prize.
So the ladies also laughed here, they all praised Mrs. Shen for having a good son, someone copied Shen Gongzi's poem, Yuqin refused to listen to it, and said goodbye with a smile, the ladies laughed kindly, the young girl's face was tender, this is embarrassing.
Fang Xinyan also said goodbye with a smile, and when she returned to the little sisters together, a familiar young lady came up to talk.
Fang Xinyan said with a smile, "Fifth sister doesn't listen to Shen Gongzi's poems? I'll help you transcribe it later, Shen Gongzi is only eight years old, and my sister has a good husband. β
These little sisters all looked at Yu Qin, and Yu Qin couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, "Sister Fang, what are you talking about!" My good daughter's family, you tell me this! Shen Gongzi came to your Fang house as a guest, what does it have to do with me!"
Yuqin stood up and turned around to leave, and Yufang hurriedly followed. R1152
