Chapter 40: The Smoker
This luncheon took an hour, before the guests and hosts were happy, Mrs. Cai invited all the guests to drink tea in the West Warm Pavilion, and the people here were free to take care of it.
At one time, more than 20 women, all of whom called maids to come to serve, wore cloaks, and asked for a hand stove to be so lively, Cui Wanqing secretly felt that this coquettish and soft talk was not a beautiful scene.
Because Xinuan Pavilion was unwilling, at most only a hundred or ten steps, Cui Wanqing just put on a cloak, and even lazy to take the hand stove, holding Yingqiao's hand, and walking with everyone.
When I entered the house, I saw that the wing room here was also completely opened, but unlike the general warm pavilion, there was a tall Nanmu three-screen Arhat couch on the main seat, and the high-backed official hat chairs were placed along the wall.
On the official hat chair carved with flowers and plants, there is a new cluster of lake blue Shu brocade flower chair covers, and a soft cushion is carefully rested www.uuxs.cc.
There are eight kinds of dim sum on the desk, dried fruits, and a pair of pink porcelain plum blossom tea cups, Cui Wanqing is the one who likes to pay attention to details, and naturally found that the dim sum on each desk is placed in a different way.
This is a total of nineteen in two times, which is really very hard.
The whole Xinuan Pavilion, in addition to two large smokers of copper and silver, and the bronze charcoal stove in the corners of the four walls, there are no other miscellaneous furnishings, it looks very simple and atmospheric, and this kind of wide house, with "is very coordinated.
It was only at this time that Cui Wanqing felt the atmosphere that Jiangmen should have, and couldn't help but think about the Meng family. Compared with the Cai family, it is very interesting.
Before everyone sat down, there were maids pouring new tea for everyone one by one, Mrs. Cai smiled and said to Cui Wanqing who was sitting on her right, and Sister Cui Wanying said: "This is this year's Junshan silver needle, two nieces and try it, see if it fits the taste." ”
The Cui sisters looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, picked up the tea cup together, and tasted the tea very cooperatively.
Mrs. Cai gently put the honey-colored porcelain tea cup in her hand on the table. The eyes seemed to be spinning on the Cui family sisters.
I saw this pair of famous ladies. The smile on his face is not shallow or strong, it is just right, and the posture of drinking tea is even smoother, revealing a sense of elegance. Look at this road. That's really it. It's a lot of hard work.
Mrs. Cai asked herself that she was still very visionary, these two young ladies of the Cui family were outstanding. The temperament is also dignified and polite, and the words and deeds are well-taught, and the future is immeasurable.
In addition, these two are serious sisters-in-law who are their own daughters, Cui Changjian, the uncle, can beat and shake his face, but this 'stirring sister', ah, no, is a sister-in-law.
Especially the sister-in-law who has the ability and has a future, and she must not be offended lightly.
When Mrs. Cai thought of this, she couldn't help but recall the sadness of her early years, and glanced at the three noble ladies sitting next to her on the left hand side unwillingly.
These three are her sisters-in-law, each of them is dressed as a human being, and they seem to be smiling gently like water, but in fact, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, they are all wolf cubs in gentle sheepskin.
I think that at the beginning, she was a young lady of the imperial historian, knowledgeable and gentle, but she entered the door of their military general's family, and even if the young lady of the military general's family was quiet, the fierceness in her bones was born.
She is a weak daughter, so can she please her? was bullied by these little wolf cubs.
Mrs. Cai was young and vigorous at the time, and she was the most proud, she didn't know how to take a detour, and she completely forgot about the twists and turns taught by her old lady, so she was stupid and straight.
If you don't retreat in this round, I won't let the fight end up next to my husband, with two more beautiful concubines, and a few restless concubines, concubines.
This kind of bloody lesson, Mrs. Cai did not dare to forget for a moment, so the dogma of her own daughter has always advocated the simultaneous advancement of civil and military, rigidity and flexibility.
It's a pity, even if she thinks about her daughter very well, but what is it, what is it, how can this person be considered over?
Mrs. Cai's almost perfect baby heart and liver were ruined by a catastrophe, making her, a mother, feel heartbroken, and all the qiē originally arranged for her daughter had to be broken.
Just thinking about it, the dowry maids that will be set for her daughter in the future will inevitably have to be replaced, and Mrs. Cai only needs to think about it, and she can't help but have a liver ache for a while.
"Alas, fortunately, there are still a few months to come, and pick slowly, you have to find a good one, to the end, if Dai'er can't hold it, how about being ruthless to keep a son and go to the mother? I can't let my good girl die without a son. "Mrs. Cai is also a housewife who has been honed, and she is compassionate, hum, hum, it depends on who she is right for.
This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world, and it is really strange to say, there is really no conclusion about things in the world.
It has both loving mothers like Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cao Laohou, who are dedicated to their daughters, and fathers like Yao Zuoxiang and Cui Er, who are selfish and only care about their own comfort in everything.
Mrs. Cai came out of her daughter's room just now, and first looked at the Cui family's gift list today, and this gift is really not light.
The most important thing is for Mrs. Cai, a pair of silver-gilt nine-section koi lotus pillar smokers, Rao is Mrs. Cai, who consciously has seen countless people in the world, have a little heartbeat.
The base of this pair of smokers is carved with three fat and cute koi fish, all three of which are raising their heads and opening their mouths to bite the lotus festival in the center.
The main pole of the lotus root festival has six sections, and the knots are also engraved with delicate lotus patterns, and there are three luan birds at the upper end of the handle to hold up the smoker.
The smoker is the overlapping lotus shape, the lower part of the furnace body is carved with Wanfu pattern, and the upper part of the furnace body is embossed with six lotus flowers in full bloom, the lines are smooth, the shape is exquisite, and Mrs. Cai is reluctant to move her eyes.
The pair is divided into three sections, with a total of six ornaments.
The Dajing Dynasty has always paid attention to a three-six-nine, which can only be used exclusively by the noble royal family, and the general princes and princes also pursue a three-six, which is a lotus koi pillar smoker, and really pays attention to the auspicious number of three-six.
Mrs. Cai knew from the gift list that this pair of smokers that she couldn't put down was specially given to her by Miss Cui Jiu.
While she lamented that the Cui family was really rich, she also denied the original prepared return gift, and thought about it for a long time, so that people opened their small warehouse and took two of the antique old objects they liked.
Originally, I planned to marry Cai Kedai, but now, in order not to lose my share, I will take it out for emergency purposes first, and at most, I will find a good one for my daughter. (To be continued......) R1292
