239. Chapter 239
Early in the morning, Su Liu was woken up by Cao Mingzhu, sleepy-eyed crooked on the couch, supporting his chin with one hand, and his small head was still little by little, looking like he hadn't woken up.
"How's this set going?" Cao Mingzhu took a brocade skirt with gold wire hooks and flowers wrapped all over her body, and when she looked back and saw that Su Liu was asleep again, she couldn't help but stomp her feet, and walked over and pinched her face: "Wake me up." ”
Su Liu sizzled, and the sleepy insect immediately ran away, sat up straight and said, "What about murder?" ”
"It's you who is plotting, I asked you to give me reference, but you are asleep." Cao Mingzhu pouted.
"It's not that someone is to blame, and I don't know who pulled me to talk for a long time, otherwise why would I be sleepy?" Su Liu snorted.
Cao Mingzhu couldn't sleep last night, so she came to her room, saying that she was afraid and wanted to be a companion, but she didn't leave her bed, and she talked to her for half a night, and the two of them fell asleep.
Cao Mingzhu blushed and said angrily: "Okay, go back to my jewelry box and choose one you like, I will compensate you." Now, can you show me, can I wear this? Will Mrs. Song like it? ”
As the saying goes, an ugly woman must eventually see her family, Su Liu also knew that Cao Mingzhu was nervous, and when they met for the first time, they definitely wanted to make a good impression on each other, she could understand this, so she accepted her joking heart and seriously helped her to work together.
"This one is too shiny and gorgeous." Su Liu shook his head and said, "Are you wearing gold?" Isn't this reminding Mrs. Song that you are the daughter of a businessman? ”
"No, this is too old-fashioned, and it makes people old."
"This one is too childish, and it makes people feel that they are not calm enough when they look at it."
Su Liu shook his head even because Cao Mingzhu was born rich and noble, and he was not short of silver, otherwise where would he get so many new clothes?
Rao is like this, Cao Mingzhu is also anxious, and said: "Why don't you go out and buy a new one now, can you catch up?" ”
"Sister, are all your clothes new?" Su Liu rolled his eyes.
"But it doesn't fit." Cao Mingzhu frowned.
Su Liu shook his head and said, "You, you're just too nervous." As he spoke, he walked to the closet, where there were a lot of clothes, probably all of which were topless.
Looking up and down, Su Liu took out a blue brocade skirt embroidered with roses, a brocade gown with a blue makeup flower neckline rolled with silver edges, and handed it to her: "Try this set." ”
Cao Mingzhu had long run out of ideas, and when she saw that Su Liu helped her choose, she happily went to change out.
"How?"
Su Liu circled around her and raised her thumb.
Mrs. Song is the wife of an official family, and her background is definitely not low, no matter what the standard of her daughter-in-law is, it is always good to dress in a dignified manner, elegant and stable.
Cao Mingzhu is gorgeous, if you wear some gorgeous clothes, it's not bad-looking, but it's also vulgar, it's good to be so plain and not light, and it's a good age, who doesn't like to be pleasing to the eye?
After choosing clothes, wearing jewelry is also a knowledge, but Cao Mingzhu is not a dirt bun, but she is too nervous to have an idea, and now that she is dressed in clothes, she will naturally match jewelry.
Su Liu nodded when he saw it, and the hour was not early, so he also went back to the room to change clothes and make up.
The time of the visit was at two o'clock, and when Su Liu dressed up, Cao Mingzhu also waited, and the two looked at each other and showed a smile.
At this moment, the maid who was waiting in the rosin courtyard came over, saying that the Chen family and the others were also ready, and said: "Miss Zhong said that she was not feeling well, and she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to go to the prefect's mansion, so she thought about not going." ”
Cao Mingzhu was stunned, looked at Su Liu and asked, "Do you want to take her with you?" ”
Song Fei is also very interesting, when he was invited, he also pointed out a few of them, but he missed Zhong Cainiang, and I don't know if it was intentional or really forgot.
Zhong Cainiang's upset body may be true, but it was definitely because she saw that no one informed her, so she came to remind Su Liu.
Su Liu will not follow her, so he said; "You're going back, since you're not feeling well, just take a good rest."
The maid was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.
Cao Mingzhu sneered, nodded her forehead, and said, "Just your ghost." ”
Su Liu sneered: "Let me tell you, I hate such a pretending little white flower the most, who is disgusting." "If it weren't for Ning Guang's sake, she would have driven her out a long time ago!
Over there, Zhong Cainiang listened to the maid's reply, bit her lip, smiled reluctantly, and waited for the maid to go out, she angrily swept the prepared clothes and jewelry on the ground, full of unwillingness.
Gyeongju Fucheng, Dong Hexi Gui, living on the street of Dongcheng District, are all prominent official gentry families, and the prefect's mansion is located in Bajin Hutong, Dong Street.
When Su Liu and his party arrived, the carriage stopped at the side gate of the prefect's mansion, where a grandmother was already waiting.
The first time I saw such a noble lady, not to mention Cao Mingzhu, the Chen family and Su Xiao were very nervous, and they had nowhere to put their hands and feet, especially the Chen family, who was a little trembling, after all, in her past career, she was the town's land protection lady, and she was out of reach.
"Mother, don't be nervous, they won't eat people." Su Liu shook her hand.
Chen smiled reluctantly, and secretly lifted his breath, thinking to himself, he must not embarrass his daughter.
Just as he was about to follow the grandmother into the door, Song Fei hurriedly came, first arched his hand to Ning Guangyi, and said, "The subordinate doesn't know anything, he should open the front door to greet him." ”
"It doesn't matter." Ning Guang said lightly with his hands behind his back.
Cao Kui's eyes flashed on the side, and he opened the main door, it seems that this Ning Guang's identity is not trivial, otherwise Song Fei would not say that he would open the main door.
This guest comes to the door, if it is more noble than his own family, usually the host's family will open the main door to meet each other to show respect, Song Fei said this, doesn't it mean that Ning Guang's identity is extraordinary?
Song Fei welcomed Ning Guang and Cao Kui to the front hall, and Chen Ye followed Su Liu and them to meet Mrs. Song first because he was still young.
Changing into a soft sedan chair, Su Liu knew that this grandmother was a close grandmother next to Mrs. Song, surnamed Tang, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, it seems that Song Fei had already informed her family of Ning Guang's identity, otherwise how could Mrs. Song be so solemn?
A quarter of an hour later, I came to the second gate, passed through the garden of the inner house, and came to the courtyard of a jiao Chunhui Hall, where two little girls were standing.
"Mother has been waiting for a long time, and now I can look forward to you." A beautiful young woman wearing a rose red brocade dress walked up and looked at Su Liu with a smile.
Her face was round, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiled, she looked very kind, combed her high bun, and swayed with two red gold filigree filigree, tinkling as she spoke.
"This is our grandmother." Mama Tang introduced with a smile.
Su Liu hurriedly saluted, Song Jie, the eldest son of the Song family, had already married a wife, this is his wife Gao, it is said that she was born in a famous family, and gave birth to a son Song Jinling.
The Gao people are very gentle, with a smile, even with a smile in their eyes, it is easy to let down their guard, and after a while, they have already recognized Su Liu and the others, and when they looked at Cao Mingzhu, they looked at it without a trace.
Sure enough, those who live in big families, especially those from noble backgrounds, are all human spirits!
Su Liu sighed secretly in his heart, expressing some worries about Cao Mingzhu and his future.
Gao's led people into the main hall of hospitality, Mrs. Song, who was dressed in jujube red brocade clothes, had already sat in the first place, and there were two young girls beside her, one was only about twelve or thirteen years old, with baby fat on her face, but she was innocent and delicate, and her face was delicate, and she knew that she was raised in the palm of her hand at a glance, which was probably Song Ying, the only sister of Song Fei and their three brothers.
And the other, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate appearance, wearing a scarlet dress, but his body looked a little thin, and after seeing Su Liu and the others come in, his eyes fell on Cao Mingzhu.
Su Liu saw it clearly, and he chuckled in his heart, and he didn't dare to look more, so he only lowered his head and stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Mrs. Song saw a few people saluting, although she couldn't match the daughters of those families, but according to the information she obtained, it was not bad to be able to do this, and it was not bad.
She smiled, raised her hand, and said, "Hurry up, come, I'll see." ”
Gao invited himself to be an introducer, and first introduced Chen, Chen was a little frightened, and had to bend down and salute again, which was taught by Mrs. Cui at home.
Immediately afterwards, he focused on introducing Su Liu, and Mrs. Song took Su Liu's hand and smiled gently: "I have long heard the second and third children talk about you, and you are really a good boy of Governor Zhou Zheng, Mrs. Chen, you teach very well." ”
Chen stood up busily and smiled modestly: "Madame is polite, she is a wild girl." ”
"I don't like to hear this, it's obviously a decent child." Mrs. Song said with a smile, and took a jade jasper bracelet from the tray held by the maid on the side and put it on her hand: "The dress is also a little cleaner." ”
Chen and Su Liu were busy refusing to resign, and Mrs. Song didn't dare to resign with a word from the elders, so she accepted it.
When Su was young, Mrs. Song praised again and rewarded a gold Yingluo collar.
"This is the daughter of the Cao family, Miss Mingzhu."
Mrs. Song looked at Cao Mingzhu at this time, and saw that she was outstanding, well-dressed, with a calm smile, and a dignified and elegant temperament, so she pulled her over and smiled gently: "It's the first time I've seen such a wonderful person." Then he asked her how old she was, what books she reads, and what she does.
Cao Mingzhu was still nervous, but seeing Mrs. Song's gentle smile, she slowly let go and answered obediently, Mrs. Song nodded with a smile and rewarded her with a mutton fat white hosta.
I have seen each other, and they have given a meeting gift as the host, and Su Liu and they have already prepared, Chen's meeting gift to Song Ying is a pair of gold bracelets, and the young grandmother is a white jade hairpin, and Mrs. Song's little grandson also gave a white jade pendant.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't know there was another girl, I didn't prepare a gift, and I didn't know who this girl was......" Chen looked at the girl beside Mrs. Song who had not said a word, and his face was embarrassed.
Mrs. Song pursed her lips and smiled, "It's no wonder you, this is the granddaughter of my maiden aunt, also surnamed Cao, called Qing'er, and her cousin is Fei'er." I just came here yesterday, saying that I was missing me and came to stay for a few days. ”
Cao Mingzhu listened, her fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly restrained her mind and did not lose her temper.
Su Liu sighed in her heart, this cousin or something, she hated it the most, she didn't believe that there was such a coincidence!
I didn't fall asleep until six o'clock last night, and I went to work an hour and a half later, I want to die and there is wood, I don't want to code words, I'm afraid of being beaten by them, praise me quickly~
