Chapter 38 Plum Blossom Appreciation
In Chen Wenhui's ardent anticipation, the day of plum blossom appreciation has finally arrived. Early in the morning, Chen Wenhui got dressed and came to Bai's room. Bai Shi saw that Chen Wenhui was wearing a jade-colored feather satin cloak. When I unbuttoned the cloak, I saw that it was wearing a snow coat with goose yellow feathers and satin white fox skin, and below it was a green skirt embroidered with bamboo leaves, and on her feet were a pair of gold-digging cloud-green deerskin boots.
Bai said: "It's very cold today, are you cold wearing this?" Chen Wenhui turned over the snow coat and said to her mother: "Mother, I have been ready for a long time, but I am wearing my little cotton jacket inside, and there is this leather snow coat outside, I am not afraid of the wind, I am not afraid of snow, how can it be cold." I'm wearing cotton pants under my skirt. These boots are full of fur and are very warm. “
Bai Shi looked at it, isn't it, inside the snow coat is a small padded jacket covered with honey-colored satin face, this must be very warm, so he nodded, and was afraid that she would not be despised if she didn't bring good jewelry, so he said: "Hui'er, have you brought jewelry, although you are still young and can't wear hairpin rings or anything like that, but you can't be too plain, you will be laughed at." Chen Wenhui said: "Oh, you know, you see, I wear a sleeping rabbit on my head, a gold pendant on my ears, a red gold eight-treasure collar around my neck, and a red gold rose bracelet on my hand. “
Bai Shi smiled at what she said: "Okay, it's good, by the way, have you prepared gifts for a few friends?" Chen Wenhui said: "Of course I'm ready, I'll give each of them a new crepe skirt from our Cuijin Building, which is a treasure coat level, high-quality embroidery." And this crepe skirt is most suitable for winter wear, because there is a layer of gray squirrel skin lining inside, which is very luxurious, and it is the best to give away. Bai said: "Well, Hui'er was very thoughtful, sent a friend, and pulled us into business." Chen Wenhui sneered: "I can't hide anything from my mother, this is the propaganda effect, and you have to advertise." I believe that after they put on the new dress tomorrow, our new treasure clothes will definitely increase the order. Bai smiled and nodded Chen Wenhui's forehead: "Just your ghost." “
I turned around and saw the clear water following Chen Wenhui. Bishui was wearing an autumn-colored gray squirrel jacket and holding a big bag in his hand, so he asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" Bishui hurriedly replied: "This is a set of clothes, I'm afraid that the girl will get wet in the snow and change them." Bai Shi was very satisfied when he heard it and said: "Well, you are older and thoughtful, although Qiu Bi and these girls are still too young." Okay, you and the nurse will be relieved to follow me, carefully mention the girl, don't freeze, don't play too crazy. Bishui hurriedly agreed. Chen Wenhui said, "Okay, mother, can you go?" After a while, my sisters are in a hurry, and I am the last one to arrive, but what should I do? Bai Shi hurriedly took his daughter's hand and sent it to the second door, watched her daughter get into the car, and then turned around.
Chen Wenhui kept urging the coachman to hurry up all the way, and finally arrived at the Blue Mansion. After entering the Lan Mansion, I first went to the upper room to meet Mrs. Lan, but Mrs. Lan didn't dare to take it big, shook her hand cordially and asked a few words, and sent two high-quality silk to let people send them to the back garden to accompany the girls to enjoy the plum blossoms. Chen Wenhui went to the back garden and was led directly to the plum garden by the maids. I saw that the plum garden is a small dirt mountain bun, the plum blossoms are planted all over it, and from a distance it looks a fiery red, it is the red plum blossoms that open, and when I get closer, there are many white plum blossoms, and the pink plum blossoms are mixed in between.
Lan Yingyu's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Chen Wenhui at a glance, she hurriedly shouted: "Sister Hui'er, come here, you're late, we're looking at the green calyx?" As soon as Chen Wenhui heard that there was a rare variety of green calyx, she immediately ran up, and the panicked nurse shouted: "Girl, slow down, the snow is slippery."
Chen Wenhui turned a deaf ear and ran over to take a look, really? Calyx plum, the light green plum petals tremble, very cute.
Looking at it, Lan Caiyu gently pulled her: "Sister Hui'er, why are you late again, I'll introduce you to a new sister." After speaking, a beautiful and elegant little girl stood in front of Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui saw that the little girl in front of her was not much taller than herself, but her eyebrows were clear, she was wearing a Doro cardigan, a pair of jade butterfly earrings, and a pair of small gold bracelets made very delicately in her hands.
Chen Wenhui secretly said in her heart, sure enough, she is a girl from a family of Jiangnan poets and scholars, and she is delicate. Thinking in my heart, my mouth was very sweet: "Look at me, I forgot to give my sisters a gift when I saw the flowers, this sister is so beautiful, what is her name, my name is Chen Wenhui, you can call me Sister Hui'er." Seeing that Chen Wenhui was so cute, this little girl smiled and said, "Sister Hui'er, my name is Li Shuyu, you can just call me Sister Shuyu, I am ten years old this year, are you nine years old?" This is Wang Yaozhen interjected: "Haha, Sister Shuyu, you guessed wrong, Sister Hui'er is very young, only six years old, don't look at her small, she is an elf, and the girls in the north are tall, I'm afraid I will be able to catch up with you next year." Li Shuyu was surprised: "She grew so tall at the age of six, my sister is also six years old, and she is still a childish, where is Sister Hui'er so tall and sensible." Wang Yaozhen said: "Hey, it's true that she is tall, she may not be sensible, but she is first-class smart." Their family will cook very delicious meals, one day let her invite us to their Qinghelou to eat, we still went in the summer, never went again, last time I told you, very fun. “
Li Shuyu looked envious: "Hey, where can I come out, even if I came to the Lan family's cousin, I have been asking for instructions for a long time, not to mention going to the restaurant to eat, my grandfather will break my legs." Lan Caiyu said with a smile: "Sister Yaozhen, you talk a lot, Sister Hui'er just came, and before you took a sip of tea, you had already said a basket of words in the snow, so quickly take your sisters to the warm pavilion to warm up for a while and then come to enjoy the flowers." Wang Yaozhen smiled and said: "Look at me, forget about this, fortunately you, the master, remember, let's go quickly, there are a lot of snacks prepared in their warm pavilion, and we will come to enjoy the flowers after eating." Chen Wenhui nodded, and came to the warm pavilion in the plum forest with the little girls and sat down.
This warm pavilion seems to have burned the earth dragon, it is very warm, everyone came in with a burst of hot air, and the maids brought by each person helped them take off their cloaks and snow coats. At this time, Wan Qiaozhen came over and touched Chen Wenhui's little jacket and asked, "What kind of jacket are you, it's not like a brocade jacket, it seems to be thicker." Chen Wenhui said: "Sister Wan still has sharp eyes, and she knows more than the sisters of the Lan family." This is called a padded jacket, the warmest is the warmest, I asked people to get it from the capital, but our family will also plant cotton next year, and then I will send a small padded jacket to my sisters next winter. I'm wearing cotton pants under my skirt, which is very warm. “
Lan Caiyu and Lan Yingyu hurriedly came over to watch, and everyone was amazed. Wang Yaozhen was wearing a big red flower satin jacket, smart, wearing a red gold collar, and came over and said: "Okay, don't study it, hurry up and eat a snack, rest for a while, and take us to see the plum blossoms." I'm going to take a few with me when I leave today. Lan Caiyu nodded her head with a smile: "I just said you, you are talking more, quickly plug her mouth with that pastry, and see what she still says." Chen Wenhui remembered it, called Bishui to bring the gift and said: "Sisters, I have brought you a gift, one person is a new leather skirt of our Cuijin Pavilion this winter, the outside is crepe, the inside is gray squirrel skin, very beautiful, you can take a look." ”
Now the children were all boiling, and they all opened the brocade baggage around the blue water, and there were five skirts in it, one akane, one jade, one magenta, one light green, and one purple liple. Wang Yaozhen was quick, grabbed the magenta one, and said, "I like this very much." Wan Qiaozhen took a fancy to a light green one, Lan Yingyu took a fancy to the beautiful purple one, and there was only one red one left, and one jade one. Lan Caiyu took Li Shuyu's hand and said, "Cousin, which one do you like?" ”
Before Li Shuyu could speak, Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, I see that Sister Shuyu is gentle and beautiful, the most suitable for this jade color is more elegant, and the red one is more suitable for the generous and elegant blue color jade sister." Lan Caiyu laughed at what she said, and reached out to pinch her face: "I want to see how your little mouth grows, how can you talk so well." Chen Wenhui hurriedly smiled and hid.
Li Shuyu was a little surprised, it turned out that they were so familiar, they could laugh, although this Chen Wenhui was young, she was very smart, and she could see at a glance that she liked the jade-colored one. In fact, before she came, she heard that Chen Wenhui was there, and thought that she was the daughter of the county order, although the rest were all wealthy families, but they were all ordinary merchants, and the daughter of this county official might not be able to be reserved and put on a shelf, who knows, there is no shelf at all, and she loves to laugh. Wang Yaozhen, Wan Qiaozhen She has seen it before, every time she is very quiet, why is she so playful now. It can be seen that several of them are really in good relationship. I usually have to be told by my mother if I make a little trouble at home, I don't have any freedom at all, thinking of this, Li Shuyu wants to integrate into this small group even more.
Li Shuyu generously took the jade-colored skirt and said, "Sister Hui'er chose exactly what I liked, so I thank Sister Hui'er." Chen Wenhui was still dodging Lan Caiyu's hands, but when she heard this, she felt very happy, this quiet little girl was also infected by a few of them, and began to prepare to join them. That's a good thing, and it's nice to have one more person to the group.
