Wanzhen took the two girls to open the box and take out the clothes she carried.

"What kind of dress will the girl wear at the family banquet for a while?" Embroidered chrysanthemum put the seasonal wear outside.

"Just wear that lotus-colored thin luo" Wanzhen put the dresser away, and didn't reply.

"Isn't it too plain? And the style is ordinary", Qiao Shan took out the one the girl said from the pile of clothes, looked at it and shook her head.

"I'm not a genuine lady, I can't take the lead", Wanzhen looked faint, thinking: This banquet must not be high-profile, it is annoying, and it should be more cautious in acting in the Wu Mansion, and it is not possible to make a bad trip, so that the mother-in-law Wu does not like it.

At this time, a housekeeper's daughter-in-law respectfully led a maid in, and said to Wanjiao: "Third girl, this is my wife's maid who has brought a maid to Beijing from the girl's house, and I temporarily dialed a maid to make a maid." ”

Wanzhen stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you for your grace." ”

"Yunyi, from now on, the cousin girl is your master, serve carefully, don't think that outsiders, if you serve well, your wife will have a reward, and if you don't serve well, you will be punished, even if you are afraid that your wife will not be able to go back to the house." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law instructed the maid again.

When the maid heard this, she knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Slave and maid listen to the master's instructions and serve the master with all her heart." ”

"Yunyi is a second-class maid in Madame's house, and she is usually a trouble-free, no, how did Mrs. point her here, she is a safe worker." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law explained busily.

Wanzhen was a little surprised, it is said that the personnel in the house are under the management of the young lady, and the young lady arranges people, but the lady arranges people to come in, not to think too much, not daring to take it big, and hurriedly instructed Xiuju to say: "Quickly help Sister Yunyi to get up, since it is appreciated by the lady, even if it is a piece of grass in the lady's house, it is noble." ”

She rewarded the housekeeper's daughter-in-law with a silver coin, and the daughter-in-law left happily.

Here, Wanzhen ordered Qiaoshan to take a pair of small gold leaf earrings and reward them to Yunyi.

"Slaves and maids don't dare, it's their duty to serve their masters." Yunyi looked frightened, and he didn't accept it.

"The master will take what he rewarded, could it be that the girl's reward is taking it back?" Qiao Shan insisted on giving it to her.

Yun Yi had no choice but to accept it and thank the master for the reward.

As soon as Wanzhen changed her clothes, the curtain of the hall was raised, and a girl came in, "Third girl, Mrs. said that the family banquet is about to start, let the girls go first." "This girl is from the Wu family's room.

Wanzhen agreed.

Wanzhen put a small ruby string of rice beads on the mirror hairpin, which made her face a lot brighter, and her dress was too plain.

Turning around and going out of the hall, he shouted, "Sixth sister, okay."

"Third sister, wait for me, I'll get it soon." There was Shen Wanyu's voice in the room.

Wanzhen waited for the tea, a little anxious, and just wanted to lift the west curtain to urge her, but the west curtain was provoked, and the sixth girl, Shen Wanyu, came out.

At this moment, it was almost time to hold the lamp, the light in the room was a little dim, and as soon as Shen Wanyu appeared, she shook her eyes slightly, and even the newly whitewashed walls were brightly lit up in an instant.

"The dress of the sixth girl is so beautiful." Qiao Shan has always talked a lot, and she looked at Shen Wanyu with good eyes.

"This is what my aunt did for me in Beijing." Shen Wanyu was a little proud.

Shen Wanzhen looked at her surrounded by beads, luxurious and magnificent, not like a concubine, but like a concubine.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and it is not good to judge, Wanzhen smiled and took Shen Wanyu's hand and said, "Let's go, sister, my mother will be in a hurry for a while."

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, the Wu family was already dressed neatly, just waiting for a few people, and when he saw the two of her coming in, he complained: "What are you doing all the time?" ”

Shen Wanyu didn't dare to say that Shen Wanzhen was waiting for her, Shen Wanzhen hurriedly said: "My daughter is late, and my mother forgives her sins."

Wu glanced at Shen Wanyu and knew that she must have been dressed up to delay time, glared at her, didn't say anything, walked out, and several people followed.

"It must be that the sixth sister is delaying late, look at the sixth sister dressed up so beautifully today." Shen Wanzhu was quite teasing.

Shen Wanyu saw that she gave her a little more look, so she didn't give in, and said: "The fifth sister is dressed up more beautiful than her sister today, and my aunt is really willing to give her sister such a big bead to wear on her head."

The Wu family saw Shen Wanzhu holding a huge night pearl in the mouth of the golden hairpin phoenix on her head, and thought unhappily: This must be the old man who stole it from her mother and mother, swaggering to put it on, and she was angry with herself.

With a cold snort in his heart, the sneer on the corner of his lips came out.

Su Lan helped his wife, heard what the sixth girl said, saw that the wife sneered, and shrewdly said that the fifth girl was causing trouble.

The limelight of the two overshadowed the fourth girl Shen Wanyun, but Shen Wanyun wore a long skirt with a long skirt of yarn on a rainy day, and a pink palace silk flower on her head, showing elegance.

The family banquet is placed in the flower hall of Wufu, there is a screen in the middle, men and women are all from their own families, there are no outsiders, the screen is only half separated, and the two compartments can be heard clearly, even if they leave the table, they can also see this side.

For the intimacy of several cousins, they all sat at the same table and ordered each other's teeth, Wanzhen was the largest, followed by Wanyun, Wanzhu, Wanyu, and Ailian were the same age, Yulian was one year younger, Huilian was one year younger than Yulian, and Wanxin was the youngest.

Wu Yulian deliberately sat down next to Wanzhen and whispered: "My sister's residence is still favorable, and I didn't take it to my room to pick it up if I lack anything."

"Xie Lu Xie sister, when it is settled, my sister will go over to play." Wanzhen said with a kind smile.

She is determined to get close to this Wu Yulian, this Wu Yulian looks cautious, but her eyes are smart, she is definitely a scheming person, her biological mother is her uncle's aunt, born in a small business, from a merchant family, she has seen many people, and she is generally smart.

I heard Wu Huilian and the eighth girl say: "What is my sister playing at home?" "The chubby Wu Huilian is far away. seems to be very afraid of Wu Ailian's daughter-in-law.

When Shen Wanzhen heard it, she couldn't help laughing, this Wu Huilian and the eighth girl are just right to play, I'm afraid that it is not as good as the eighth girl's heart, don't look at the eight girls' small people, but it is the □ of the wife in the room who came out.

This Wu Huilian's mother-in-law probably doesn't care much about her, her aunt seems to be an honest person, and she has been waiting behind Mrs. Wu.

And Shen Wanzhu and Shen Wanyu sat around Wu Ailian, accosting and flattering Wu's daughter.

Listening to the table next to her, Mrs. Wu said happily: "Your third sister wrote that she will also come to Beijing in the past two days, and your eldest sister will also come over after two days."

"Is the eldest sister's family busy?" Wu said.

"Her second daughter-in-law was gone half a year ago, her second son was injured, this is good, the third daughter-in-law gave birth again, it is said that you are here, if she can't get out, she will come early."

I heard Wu ask: "I heard that the daughter-in-law of Shaoting is gone"

This Zhan Shaoting is probably talking about the second son.

I heard Mrs. Wu sigh and say, "Don't mention it, it's not all the fox spirits, your eldest sister has a big fire a while ago, I'll talk to you when I have time." ”

The old lady seemed to have something unspeakable to hide.

"Yun'er's marriage has been decided this time, and it is not small."

"My daughter also wants to do this this time, and she will come down to discuss the marriages of her sisters."

Just look at the table, Mrs. Wu looked at the table, and the young lady Zhen who was waiting behind her also glanced at the table.

These are all in sight, and she has no match to talk to Wu Yulian, but she listens carefully to the chat at the table.

Wu Yulian looked at Shen Wanzhen's dress and said, "My sister's clothes are all of the best materials, and the color of her head and face is good."

"The hairpin on my sister's head is very flattering to this dress." Wanzhen had to say a few polite words on her face.

Wu Yulian leaned into her ear and whispered: "This set of hairpin rings should be put away after use, and wait for the next time something is going to be worn."

Wanzhen looked at Wu Ailian opposite, Wu Ailian's emeralds on the golden hairpin alone are worth a fortune, compared to her, her mother-in-law is quite good, at least on the big surface, there is no deduction.

Eating is to communicate feelings, everyone has eaten enough delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they can't move a few chopsticks, so they find a confidant to chat.

In the middle, Wu Yulian asked the maid to find her.

The chair on the right side of Wanzhen is empty, and on the left side is the eight girls and Wu Huilian guessing riddles, having a good time.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that on the table, her aunt Mrs. Jiang and her sister-in-law Wu were talking about something, Jiang was looking at her from time to time, just as Wanzhen raised her head, her eyes met, Zheng smiled gently, and looked at her twice.

I don't know if it's because she's too attentive or ...... That look made Wanzhen feel very uncomfortable.
