Chapter 189 Welcoming Guests at the Entrance
Thinking that she stood out among the three, Su Nianqing smiled, and even didn't care about the slap she had remembered for several days before.
Thinking that he was at the gate now, if he didn't say hello, it would not be good to be seen by the people who came and went, so he smiled and greeted: "Sister, you are here." Looking at her elegant makeup again, I have to admit that this kind of dress has its own wonders, even more pleasing to the eye than the appearance of the eldest sister when she was wearing makeup.
The smile faded.
But she was unwilling to really praise the eldest sister's beauty that made her crazy with jealousy, so she had to sweep the eldest sister's whole body up and down again, but found that the spontaneous bun and shoes were all very decently matched.
She had to make a fuss about the two eye-catching flowers on her bun: "...... My sister didn't have any gold on her head, she only wore two dazzling red kapok, but she was ingenious, but I don't know if when those ladies arrived, seeing that my sister was only dressed up so simply, would they think that why our Su Mansion couldn't even take out a few golden hairpins and hostas for a concubine. ”
There was a sour taste in Su Nianqing's words, and she didn't want to be at odds with the eldest sister at this time, but looking at the big red kapok, it made the pretty face below more and more delicate and moving, and she couldn't help but say such words.
Su Nianyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the second sister would have such an idea?" ”
"It's not going to be ......"
Before Su Nianqing's words were finished, she was robbed by the eldest sister again, "Isn't this it?" You don't think that, and they don't. Who's daughter doesn't have a room full of gold, silver and jewelry? I'm going to have to face it all the time. The more I looked, the more tired I became, and I also understood the mood of other ladies, so I had the novelty of wearing flowers. ”
Look at her full head of jewelry. frowned and said: "Dressed like my sister, I feel tired and panicked when I look at it, shiny, but it seems to be showing off to others, look, this is the treatment of the concubine of Sufu." ”
Hearing this, Su Nianqing's face turned pale.
How could she not hear what was being said?
She looked at the careful makeup on her whole body, and then looked at the girl's elegant and extremely beautiful smile; Think about it again, and when your head is casually deviated, there is the sound of gold and silver hanging beads ringing together. Glancing at the simple and generous kapok on the girl's head, I only felt that the whole person was slowly stiffening from the feet up.
I thought it was a good thing to overpower the eldest sister, but I forgot the distinction between them and their inferiority.
A Su Fu concubine. Dressed so elegantly, she is just a cousin, but she is jeweled all over her body, and she wears red clothes and red makeup. It is true that the limelight has overwhelmed her; But. If the ladies who came to the appointment saw that the concubine was dressed better and more brilliant than the concubine, what would people think of her?
will definitely feel that she has no sister, does not know how to respect and humility, and loves to stand out.
If she leaves such an impression on others, what if she wins the show? It's not that you can't win a good reputation!
Su Nianqing panicked all of a sudden, hurriedly ran to the house with the corner of her skirt, wanted to go back to the yard and hurriedly changed the clothes on her body, and then unloaded the pile of gold, silver, hairpins, and jade orbs on her head that weighed down her neck.
Then tidy up the makeup as quickly as possible...... In a word. Remedy what can be done.
Su Nianyu called her: "...... Second sister, what is this going to do? I don't know that the guests are coming to the door, what are you going to run to the house? If you go by this time. When the guests saw that you were missing, they must blame you for not waiting at the gate of the house, thinking that you were not polite. If you don't entertain the boudoir ladies of the various families like this, it is rumored that you will go out, where will the whole face of Su Fu go? If Grandmother learns about this, she will have to punish you. ”
Su Nianqing's back stiffened, and she couldn't take a step.
I was anxious and hateful in my heart, but I also knew what the eldest sister said, so I gritted my teeth and went back to the door of the house to stand.
But he didn't dare to stand next to the eldest sister like a hibiscus out of the water, for fear that the two of them would stand together like this, one was elegant and fresh like morning dew, and the other was arrogant and enthusiastic like the waves in the sea, forming a more stark contrast.
Su Nianyu deliberately said: "What's the matter, the second sister is standing so far away from me and the third sister, do you want to make the family think that there is discord between the daughters of our Su family?" ”
Su Nianqing's eyes flashed, but she leaned over helplessly, and she was already crying with regret in her heart.
Today was her first day, but in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be her unlucky, and Su Nianqing's face was gloomy.
In my heart, I still didn't give up the idea of going back to the house to change my makeup and dress, and I was thinking about countermeasures, and a beautiful carriage with the word "Wang" came from the right avenue.
Su Nianyu knew that Wang Xuan must have arrived first.
Wang Xuan is the eldest daughter of Wang Dusi, although Su Nianqing doesn't like her, her identity is in front of her, and this time she came because of the banquet, she didn't dare to slack off.
Busy tidying up his clothes, he put on a gentle and elegant smile.
As soon as the carriage stopped, two maids immediately stepped forward with a small pestle and helped Wang Xuan out of the carriage.
Today's Wang Xuanzi is also dressed up, wearing a pale green beaded folded skirt, with a one-foot-wide embroidered white brocade belt tied around his waist, and his posture is very soft.
Su Nianyu greeted the two of them with a smile and said, "...... You're in a hurry early in the morning. ”
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "This is the first banquet you have held, I want to support it, if I let others take the lead, how can I still call myself your friend?" ”
After the two finished speaking a few words, Su Nianyu was about to invite Wang Xuan to the house, Wang Xuan just seemed to have just seen Su Nianqing, opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Yo, isn't this the second girl who is known for her elegance and gentleness on weekdays?" He looked around her again, and then continued: "Today's makeup is very different from usual, I thought it was Nianyu who invited my cousin from the Dong Mansion to come over and help entertain the guests, but when I looked at it again, I knew that it was you." ”
Wang Xuan has always liked to fall into the well, and this time is no exception.
also deliberately highlighted that the cousin who came from the Dong Mansion is also a concubine, which is not to say. The second girl of Su Mansion is not dressed like this today, is it very inappropriate?
Su Nianqing's smile couldn't be maintained, and she pursed her lips and didn't even want to speak. In my heart, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, thinking only about what to do.
Suddenly, I remembered that Wang Xuan wanted to go to the Lotus Garden, and it was polite to have the master's family or the right-hand man to guide him, and hope was ignited in his eyes.
She suddenly smiled, and Ying Ying said to the eldest sister: "Why don't you let me lead the girl of the Wang family in, and you can just wait for the other ladies to come over with her first." ”
How could Su Nianyu not know why the second sister was suddenly so attentive? must have realized that her dress up today was not good, so she wanted to send Wang Xuan in and then find an excuse to sneak back to her yard to change clothes and makeup.
Su Nianyu hasn't spoken yet. Wang Xuan was already walking towards the second sister very enthusiastically, and his smile was very enthusiastic: "This is very good, I am worried that I am the only one in it." How to pass the time, the second girl talking like this is winning my heart. ”
Su Nianqing was very happy, and wanted to say a few more polite words. Wang Xuan had already dragged her to the house. The moment she stepped through the door, she turned her head and winked at Su Nianyu with a smile.
When everyone was gone, Su Yingyue dared to speak: "Big sister, I look at Sister Wang Xuan's appearance as if she is ...... Overjoyed? ”
Of course, she couldn't help it, as Wang Xuan's friend, Su Nianyu, how could she not know what her last glance meant? She doesn't like the second sister on weekdays, so she will pay more attention to the second sister every time, and now. What kind of calculation does the second sister have in her heart, how could Wang Xuan not know? But she still took the second sister's hand and went into the house.
Wang Xuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid that even if the second sister hides in the house, she may not be able to feel any better.
Su Nianyu just smiled and didn't say much: "She has always been like this, probably because of today's banquet, and she is in a good mood." ”
Su Yingyue responded obediently and skillfully, and stood behind her in a regular manner, seeing that she was always unconsciously pulling and pulling on her body, she knew that she was still nervous.
Then he comforted him: "Third sister, don't be afraid, this is just an ordinary banquet, you are the second girl of the Su Mansion Su family of the Hanlin Academy, not much worse than them; What's more, today you are also the master. ”
When Su Yingyue heard this, she raised her eyes to look at her, "Master? "Can the girl she born be the master?
Su Nianyu knew what the two words repeated in the mouth of the third sister meant.
In the final analysis, it is also because in order to live well under Aunt Liu, the third sister and Aunt Xiao have long lost the consciousness of being half the masters of the Su Mansion, and they only think that the mother and daughter can survive well, and they will be happy to live a life with coarse tea and light food, how dare they regard themselves as the masters?
Aunt Liu's eyes can't tolerate sand, and she won't let them have a good time at that time.
Su Nianyu just smiled lightly and hummed, "Although today's banquet is held in my name, you and the second sister are involved in it and entertain guests together, so you are naturally also the host." ”
Su Yingyue's eyes lit up, pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly raised her face and said, "Big sister, I won't let our Su Mansion lose face." ”
Su Nian said: "It's right to think like this. ”
Thinking that the two of them were welcoming guests at the gate at the moment, and it was inconvenient to talk more, the two of them stood up in an orderly manner.
After two more young ladies came one after another, the carriage of the Xu family also arrived, and it was Xu Man'er who had not seen him for several days who got off the car.
If you really want to talk about it, Xu Man'er has a good face and is relatively tall, otherwise the second sister would not have been able to befriend her just because she couldn't hide her words and could help her.
Xu Man'er is also dressed very carefully today, because of her fair complexion, this pink skirt looks more and more delicate; I also deliberately spent a few small plum blossoms at the corner of my eyes, which is very novel.
Su Nianyu took Su Yingyue and greeted him.
Because she had contact with Xu Man'er before, she knew Xu Man'er's temperament, even if she was not familiar with people, she would go up and praise her first, and as soon as she was in a good mood, she would be easy to talk about anything.
“…… Miss Xu's family is so brilliant today, I look at it and my eyes light up! Especially the plum blossoms in the corner of the eye, very expressive, I can almost smell the fragrance of plum blossoms on it, it is really very novel and beautiful. ”
Xu Man'er's face was about to turn into a flower, "Miss Su praised it falsely. ”
Not to mention the joy in my heart, the apprehension I felt when I was in the car disappeared.
A few days ago, she was very happy when she received the invitation to the banquet in Sufu, but when she saw that the organizer was a girl from Sufu, she was worried again.
In the world, who goes to the banquet doesn't want to be in the limelight at the banquet, which is amazing, and Xu Man'er is no exception.
However, how could she not know that the eldest girl of Sufu was invincible in her beauty, and when she stood still at the banquet, even if she only stood still, she naturally pursed her lips and smiled, isn't she a master who steals the limelight?
In this way, is she looking for an excuse to excuse herself from going to work, or is she going to go to the appointment in a big way?
*
In the end, Xu Maner gritted her teeth and went to the appointment.
Thinking in her heart, Miss Su had also invited the boudoir ladies of other families, and there must be many people who had such concerns about her; What's more, those little sisters who get along well with her, such as Wang Xuan and Pan Jingruo, will definitely go, and if they don't go to the appointment, it will be a little deliberate.
simply took advantage of the days before the banquet to go on a diet and pick rouge to look at jewelry and buy new clothes, thinking that he couldn't lose to other boudoir ladies at the banquet.
On the day of the banquet, she also got up early in the morning, put on some makeup, and still thought about it all the way when she rushed to Su Mansion.
I don't know, as the big girl Su who held the banquet, how gorgeous and dazzling will she be today?
Thinking like this, my heart couldn't help but be sour, and I felt out the bronze mirror in the car to shine left and right, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she was a little relieved.
When she heard the maid outside say that Su Mansion had arrived, she hurriedly took out the bronze mirror and took a quick photo, then straightened her clothes and walked out.
As soon as she saw Miss Su's elegant makeup, she felt a lot better.
Although she likes to say this and that, she can't control her mouth, but her heart is also bright, and she knows that Miss Su is dressed up this way for the young ladies who came to the appointment.
In the end, I also know that the host's family is too outstanding, and comparing everyone to the bottom, it will displease the guests, and if there is a similar banquet in the future, there will be less than half of the people who come to the appointment.
What a clever one.
Seeing Miss Su walking towards her like this, Xu Man'er felt that she had more face; Before she had time to say anything, people praised herself again, Xu Man'er couldn't restrain herself if she wanted to, and even her smile appeared on the curved willow eyebrows. (To be continued......)
