Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 108, Xie Family Daughter
Chapter 108, Xie family daughter
Changsheng changed into the jujube red silk jacket he usually wore. The style is like a men's robe, but it is shorter, the waist is thinner, the waist is tied with a dark blue brocade belt, the collar and placket are embroidered with crimson entwined flowers, and the dark blue pleated skirt is half exposed.
She deliberately did this, deliberately making people ignore that she was a woman, and only remembered her identity as an aunt. Tonight's family banquet is more grand, in order not to be too rude, she inserted the gold hairpin rewarded by the old lady again, put on the silver inlaid green jade earrings, and slightly applied some fat powder, which looked simple but not shabby, solemn but not dull, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Zihu is a little worthless for her. The figure and appearance are all superior, but I want to be neither male nor female, obviously not young anymore, and I have to dress up more and more old-fashioned. After persuading me a few times, it didn't have any effect, so I had to give up.
Aunt Tai also looked a little more luxurious than usual, and smiled softly when she saw her clothes, firstly, she was used to being like this, and secondly, she knew her thoughts. There was still a pillar of incense kung fu after leaving the banquet, and it happened that in the past, the two of them took the pink and delicate little Jinshu to the Heju Hall together.
Xie Mingzhu is not only the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but also the only daughter, her husband's family has a prominent status, tonight's family banquet is of course unusual, just turn the hand verandah, you can see that the red lanterns hung in the front yard during the New Year are all lit up, the slaves and servants are shadows, and there is a hidden sound of silk and bamboo, which is obviously very grand. Let Changsheng suddenly return to the palace, because Yuwen Zhaoyi is extremely favored, and Chunhua Palace often has night banquets, which are as lively and exquisite as this.
As soon as they stepped into the main courtyard, a housekeeper came up to greet them, bent down and saluted and took them to the Heju Hall. Because the old lady was widowed and could not use red lanterns, the crane hall was full of sheep's horn palace lamps from outside the door to the inside, and the hall was very bright.
There was laughter in the main room, and Changsheng bent down and told Jinshu again: "There is an aunt, don't be afraid." If you don't like anyone, just treat him as bad melon seeds, there are always a few bad melon seeds in a plate, and you can't stop eating melon seeds for the rest of your life because of a few bad ones, right? Remember our agreement, if your aunt squeezes your hand, you must do what your aunt says, and when you go back, your aunt will tell you the reason, remember? ”
Aunt Tai laughed softly when she heard this, Jin Shu was amused by her metaphor again, nodded in response, and most of her panicked retreat suddenly disappeared, and she went in with her, but she still pulled Changsheng and refused to let go.
Stepping into the bright and warm main hall, the room was full of maids, daughters-in-law, and grandmothers, and the old lady sat on the Luohan bed with a smile, and was saying something to the little girl in red in her arms.
It should be Xie Mingzhu and her three children, Changsheng found that the little girl in the old lady's arms seemed to be not much older than Jinshu, and immediately regretted dressing Jinshu too brilliantly.
The red dress is gorgeous. But it will become dim under the candlelight, but Jinshu's extremely delicate pink brocade dress and sky blue sprinkler dress are much more brilliant, and her snow-white and delicate little face can compare to her little girl. Xie Mingzhu's daughter must have grown up pampered, if her jealousy is aroused, Jinshu can't stand the fright.
For the time being, they couldn't, so they stepped forward to salute together, the old lady was obviously in a very good mood, looked at Changsheng a few times quietly, and smiled hehe: "Shu'er, come to Grandmother's side to meet your cousin Zichen, Aunt Zhen doesn't have to be polite, Miss Zhou, please sit down, this is the little girl's pearl, you don't have to be polite!" It has been delayed until today to pay New Year's greetings, which is really unfilial! ”
Aunt Zhou insisted on taking a half-salute before entering the seat, the first time they met, Changsheng insisted on bowing according to the rules of this era, Xie Mingzhu was smiling between her eyebrows and eyes, and she got up generously and returned the salute, please Changsheng sat next to her, the two looked at each other and smiled to show their greetings, and inadvertently looked at each other, Xie Mingzhu was slightly surprised, Changsheng also saw that she looked like her mother, her face was like a full moon, her facial features were bright, and she looked noble, gorgeous and shrewd.
The old lady hugged the two little girls and said with a smile: "I know that it is in vain to ask Aunt Zhen and Miss Zhou not to salute!" Pearls. Although this Zhou girl is not as old as you, she is also waiting to be married, but she has a very good set of raising children, and even Shu'er is coaxed into obedience, it is really rare, you have time to ask for advice, although the Pei family has a prominent status, but Zijun Zi Zi Zichen's upbringing cannot be ignored! ”
Changsheng didn't wait for Xie Mingzhu to answer, and quickly got up and said with a smile: "The old lady is really exalted to Changsheng, how can I be worthy of my aunt's advice?" Young Master Pei and Miss Pei are both extremely well-behaved and clever people, and they must have been very well educated by their aunts! ”
Xie Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, I think Miss Zhou is very good at dressing up, this dress is very chic, although it is a little pedantic but elegant, and with this unmessy bun, it looks like a female gentleman!" ”
Seeing that although she was exquisite, she was not pretentious, Changsheng suddenly had a good impression, and still smiled shallowly and said: "Grandma has won the award, grandma is a colorful phoenix in front of the hall, a pearl in the palm of her hand, and immortality is beyond reach!" ”
smiled secretly in her heart, sure enough, a woman's temperament, regardless of status and identity, pay attention to each other's clothing when they meet. The same is true of the daughter of Xie Mingzhu's family and the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.
The number of rituals that should be exhausted has been exhausted, Xie Mingzhu's attention has turned to talking to his mother and aunt, and Changsheng also sat silently and only paid attention to Jinshu, trying to make everyone ignore her existence.
She shouldn't have come to someone's family banquet, but I don't know why this aunt and grandmother invited her? Or know that you will definitely follow and accompany Jinshu, so let's settle down.
Jin Shu was standing in front of Changsheng, leaning on the old lady's arms with her cousin Pei Zichen, Changsheng found that she was cowering with fear for some reason, and was shocked, could it be that Pei Zichen did something to her? How can a little girl have so much scheming? But Pei Zichen couldn't see her expression clearly with his back to her, although the old lady was holding two children. also only cared about talking to Aunt Tai and Xie Mingzhu, and did not pay attention to the two children in his arms.
Changsheng was a little anxious, hoping that Jin Shu was just afraid of life for a while, but Jin Shu's expression became more and more pitiful, and even lowered his eyelids and didn't dare to look at Pei Zichen, it seemed that Pei Zichen was intimidating her, and shouted out in a hurry: "Shu'er!" ”
Everyone looked at her puzzledly, and Changsheng said in a hurry: "I remember, I just came in and just talked, and the eldest lady only saluted the old lady and aunt, but not her cousins!" This is not good, the old lady asked me to teach the eldest lady the rules, but I can't just talk about it, it is most effective to be strict in daily behavior, sitting and lying! ”
Xie Mingzhu blamed her for being too polite, and on the other hand, praised her for really teaching well. Since Jin Shu arrived in the arms of the old lady, she was intimidated by Pei Zichen's pouting and glaring, and from time to time she made a verbal statement that she was a "little fool", she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say much, but the adults were busy talking and no one noticed it, and she was about to cry in fright, when she heard Changsheng call her, tears flowed out at once, and she ran over aggrievedly.
The old lady looked at Jin Shu puzzled, her brows furrowed, Changsheng hurriedly hugged her, looked at her fixedly, squeezed her hand again, and said with a smile: "This child, my aunt didn't say anything about you, only that she forgot to remind you to salute your cousins and cousins, you just make up for it, what are you crying about?" Have you forgotten what your aunt told you before you entered the door? ”
Shu'er just remembered the joke between the two about "bad melon seeds", and thought that the cousin who had been staring at her just now was actually a bad melon seed, and immediately burst into laughter, Changsheng took off the towel to wipe her face, and said approvingly: "Shu'er is so smart, she can see through a little." Then go and salute your cousin! ”
After speaking, she squeezed her hand again, Shu'er understood, turned around and saluted respectfully to the two cousins and cousin, Pei Zijun and Pei Ziji thought that they were big children, and stood up and saluted, while saying like little adults: "Cousin doesn't have to be polite!" It made everyone laugh, and only Aunt Tai glanced at Changsheng thoughtfully.
Pei Zichen didn't dare to be strange in front of people, and he also stood up straight and returned the courtesy, and said seriously like the two elder brothers: "Cousin doesn't have to be polite!" ”
provoked everyone to laugh again, Shu'er still didn't dare to look at her, and returned to Changsheng's arms after the salute.
Xie Mingzhu was about to say something, when a girl reported that the second lady came, Lin Xinhui, who was gorgeously dressed and full of pearls, stepped in, and said with a smile: "Your nephew and niece are troublesome, pestering me to always dress up badly, making my mother and eldest sister wait for a long time!" Followed by the girl and the three children, one leading and two hugging, Changsheng always felt that there seemed to be resentment in her smile.
Greet each other and sit down, the old lady ordered the banquet to open, took Xie Jinniang, who had just passed the first birthday, from the nurse's arms, teasing and blaming: "Everyone is all together, just wait for your second room to open the banquet, what about the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" ”
Lin Xinhui smiled more ugly than crying: "Speaking of the second master, the daughter-in-law wants to congratulate the old lady!" ”
The old lady noticed that her expression was wrong, handed Jin Niang to the nurse, and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" What is there to congratulate on the old body? What did the Ming and Qing dynasties do? ”
Lin Xinhui couldn't hide her resentment anymore, she didn't care about Changsheng's presence, she opened her mouth and said: "The second master is about to come over with his daughter-in-law, Aunt Qing sent someone to say that she is unwell, she seems to be pregnant, the second master sent someone to ask the doctor not to say, but also to accompany her, let us have a banquet first!" Originally, there was nothing, but the eldest sister finally made a trip, and the eldest brother and the third uncle were not there, what a rudeness, in vain the eldest sister loved him so much! ”
Hearing about other people's housework again, Changsheng can't wait to escape, but how can he say goodbye and leave? had to lower his head and pretend to just talk to Jinshu. Lin Xinhui will be angry and talk nonsense without scruples, and when the weather disappears tomorrow, she will definitely feel that she has lost someone in front of her, and maybe she will be annoyed with herself, and she has nowhere to complain if she is really wronged! ――
