Chapter 20 Visits
Cui Wanqing waited for her grandmother to finish breakfast, went out to see the sky, and chose this point to visit the lady in charge of the Cui family's East Mansion in Wenjin Courtyard.
Thinking about it, Mrs. Cui should also handle the housework in the house, but it is not yet time for lunch, so it happens to be a gap.
Don't look at Mrs. Cui in charge of a large mansion, but every day except for morning, noon and evening, she will personally serve her mother-in-law's meal, for decades, unless there is something to do, it will never be lazy.
Cui Wanqing still really admires her for this, in Cui Wanqing's memory, her eldest aunt is not a bad person, compared to the wise ancestor, she can be regarded as a sincere person.
It's just that there is one point, Mrs. Cui is a person who regards her husband as heaven, but if Master Cui likes it, it is definitely good, if Master Cui doesn't like it, it is a golden pimple, and it is not good.
Cui Wanqing, under the service of the maids, changed the clothes of the guests again, and dressed up carefully, Magnolia's dexterity soon made Cui Wanqing look new and moving.
Riding the customary green forging sedan chair at home, Yulan and Ah Tao were waiting by the sedan chair, because they brought gifts to Mrs. Cui, and called two talented little girls to run errands.
When she arrived at the door of Wenjin Courtyard, Cui Wanqing took Yulan's arm and got off the sedan chair, stood up straight and saw that there were already people waiting for her at the door.
But it was the eighth sister and the eleventh sister who could let these two welcome themselves here, but Cui Wanqing understood Mrs. Cui's attitude towards herself, and she was still mainly enveloped.
The three sisters smiled and saw the salute, and then went to the Wenjin Courtyard together, Cui Wanqing looked around, and saw that whether it was the main house, the wing room, or the verandah, the flowers and stones, they were all small and chic, and compared with the Songcui Courtyard of the old lady, there was less grandeur and grandeur, and more elegant and soft.
Miss Eight and Miss Eleven, one left and one right led Cui Wanqing, and the three sisters walked through a big road, went up the five blue jade stone steps, and entered the main room of Wenjin Academy.
Cui Wanqing only had time to take a look, and felt that the atmosphere of this main room was elegant, but she didn't even see the furnishings clearly, so she was introduced by her sisters to Xinuan Pavilion, which is the closeness that Mrs. Cui expressed to her niece and nephew.
Cui Wanqing saw that the Xinuan Pavilion in this long room was more than twice as large as her own West Wing, and the windows were really bright and spacious.
The backrest pillow on the big kang near the window, all are all hand-embroidered plum blossoms, the red wood carved plum blossom case is placed on the kang, there is a pastel Ru kiln amphora plate mouth bottle on it, there is a bunch of green calyx plum blossoms inserted in it, take a closer look, but it is a silk flower, because of the fine workmanship, look at the same as the real one.
Underground to the south, there are four official hat chairs, and the chairs on them are also honey-colored brocade embroidered twined plum blossoms.
All of this is because there is a plum character in Mrs. Cui's boudoir name, and she is already a fan of Mei in the boudoir.
And the plum blossoms in the Wenjin Courtyard, you can see it everywhere, the varieties are quite complete, because of careful care, they bloom very well every winter, and when it snows, Mrs. Cui will also invite the lady who is good to come to enjoy the plum.
Although she is old now, she still likes plum blossoms as always, and this kind of perseverance is really rare.
Cui Wanqing remembered that her aunt had this hobby, so when choosing a gift, she saw a set of green glazed five-color tea sets with entwined branches and plums, so she wrote it into the gift list.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Cui is the eldest daughter in the family, and she is deeply favored by the elders.
As long as he sends a favor, as for the value of geometry, Cui Wanqing has never thought about it.
There are at least six or seven maid mothers serving in the house, all of them are brightly dressed, standing there smiling, well-behaved but not rigid, with such clever maids, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of conduct their masters have.
With her eyes flickering, Cui Wanqing instantly saw Mrs. Cui who was sitting on the big kang by the window and reading the account book.
I saw that she was wearing a long gown with a wide glazed purple neckline in moire palace silk, and a double-layer plum blossom inlaid coral red gold collar buckle on the neckline of a jade-colored plum blossom pattern tunic was worn.
The dew-bead curtain on her smooth forehead wiped her forehead with gold, and her eyebrows were vivid, and her complexion was like a flower.
Her eldest aunt is less than forty this year, and because everything is going well, no one in the backyard is naughty with her, and she looks only in her early thirties.
It's just that when she is middle-aged, her figure is slightly rounded, but this does not make people have a slightly less impression of her, but feels that she is rich and noble, and amiable.
As soon as she saw the two concubines coming in with Cui Wanqing, Mrs. Cui casually closed the account book and sat upright to accept Cui Wanqing's salute.
The smiling and loving helped Cui Wanqing up, only to see that this Miss Cui Jiajiu, who was vague in her memory, was dressed up well today.
Miss Nine in front of her was wearing a light red flowing color dark flower soft silk shirt, with a thin satin half-arm with a moon-white gold line flying bird pattern, and a goose yellow embroidered spring flower pleated skirt on the lower body.
With a double-ring exquisite white jade pressure skirt on the waist, the tassel on the jade pendant is matched with tender green, the color of this dress is festive and not outstanding, and it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
A black hair with a flowing cloud sideburns, only with a pair of tortoiseshell made of plum hairpins, although out of season, but into the eyes of Mrs. Cui, I only feel that the color of this pair of hairpins is simple and generous, how to look at how to like it.
Cui Wanqing, who is so carefully dressed, is also a beautiful child with red lips and white teeth, phoenix eyes and peach cheeks, why didn't she have a sense of zĂ i before?
Mrs. Cui took the person in her arms lovingly, and said with a smile: "It's still our old lady who will take care of people, look at our nine girls, this is just two days with her old man, this is like a changed person, pink and tender like the jade girl next to Guanyin, it's really reluctant to lose it." â
Cui Wanqing's face was slightly red by her, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and with a shy smile on her lips, it was the reaction of a graceful and beautiful young lady.
"Isn't it just what my mother said, I used to think that the ninth sister was dressed up in an old-fashioned manner, obviously she was still a child, and she wanted to dress up as an adult, doesn't this seem strange? I wear it now, the color is fresh and tender, and the style is fashionable, so that I look like our family's sister-in-law. Miss Eight on the side said with a smile on her face.
Eleventh Miss Cui Wanlin is one year younger than Cui Wanqing, in the end she is more delicate than Cui Wanqing, listening to one or two people praising Cui Wanqing, she is very dispassionate in her heart.
blurted out: "What's the use of dressing up now?" A few days later, Sister Nine returned to Xifu, didn't she have to be beaten back to her original form? The second uncle is different from her mother, she is a noble lady who only speaks the word dignified! I can't help the ninth sister to be so delicate! Even if this is the case, it is better to be as always, and it will be uncomfortable to save the future of thinking about it. â
