Chapter 021: Etiquette
It may be that Xi Moliao has indeed been ignored to a certain extent, she didn't find anything like brushing her teeth here when she first came, and she didn't even have salt. Fortunately, Liu Yunwei still has good hygiene habits and rinses her mouth carefully every day. Yesterday they went shopping, Rao Xuekong found that there was a toothbrush shop, and he was ecstatic, so he immediately took the bluegrass to buy it, it is said that the toothbrush bristles are made of horsetail hair.
There is also tooth powder, but in the eyes of Rao Xuekong, a modern person, it is still rougher, and the taste is slightly more expensive, it is said that it is made of several traditional Chinese medicines, and the cheaper ones obviously seem to have larger particles, and the taste is not good. Rao Xuekong sniffed it and knew that after brushing his teeth, he would definitely feel very astringent in his mouth. She bought some expensive tooth powder, and then some salt powder, which she used once every three days and the rest of the time.
After washing, Lancao helped Rao Xuekong comb his hair, and the comb was still hanging sideburns. Rao Xuekong admired Lancao very much for being able to comb such a hairstyle when she was young, and she also learned from her for several days. But although she also learned, Lancao insisted that this was what the maid should do, and never let her do it herself.
Turning on the new makeup, Rao Xuekong picked out two red gold flowers and inserted them lightly between her sideburns, and put on a very small lilac earring, in addition to the jade bracelet on her left wrist, she also put two delicate silver bracelets on her right wrist.
In fact, it's just prepared, today is Liu Mingru's and courtesy, if she encounters any favors, she also has something to socialize, of course, it depends on the situation, if others don't give her, she won't give gifts, after all, she has such a thing.
The redness and swelling on Lan Cao's face had receded, but there was still a small cut on the pulled ear, and today she didn't dare to wear any more earrings, and only two pink silk flowers were inserted in the bun.
She went to the big kitchen, and when she came back, as Rao Xuekong expected, she was empty-handed.
"What did Mama Pan say this time?"
Lancao hung her head and whispered: "Mama Pan said that today is the eldest lady's ceremony, this is a big deal, the big kitchen should prepare some food for the eldest lady first, and the other courtyards will use their own small kitchens to make some breakfast." ”
Well, there is also a small kitchen in Ximoyuan, but "What about the ingredients?" What about firewood? ”
"Mama Pan said that the slave maid went late, and the ingredients had been collected by other courtyards, and Mama Pan told the slave maid that the Piaoliu Courtyard had also received it."
The floating willow courtyard is the courtyard where the third aunt lives.
Rao Xuekong stood up, "Then let's go to the third aunt's place to have some casual food." ”
It was expected that the big kitchen would make things difficult for Rao Xuekong, but in her mind, it was normal for her to go to her biological mother to eat a bowl of porridge.
The distance between Ximoin and Piaoliuin is not very far, so Piaoliuin is also in a secluded location. Small yard, but definitely much better than Nishimoin.
But traces can always be seen in the places suppressed by the eldest lady, such as no one at the gate of the courtyard. Rao Xuekong took the bluegrass into the courtyard, and when he walked to the door of the main house, he saw a maid wearing a light green dress and a somewhat mean facial features walking out.
"Yo, isn't this the third lady? Why did the third lady come to Piaoliuyuan? ”
Lancao said: "Sister Aoyagi, is the third aunt here?" Our young lady is here to accompany the third aunt to breakfast. ”
Aoyagi chuckled, "The third lady's filial piety is in the wrong place, she should go to Fuxiang Temple!" ”
Rao Xuekong's eyes narrowed slightly, can a maid talk to Miss like this? Is this sarcasm? "Aoyagi, huh? What do you do in the way of the door? She stepped forward unceremoniously, brushed Aoyagi away with one hand, and stepped into the antechamber.
The third aunt was sitting at the table eating porridge. There were three dishes of light side dishes on the table, and there was clear porridge in her bowl, but it was by no means the porridge water that Rao Xuekong drank before.
The third aunt didn't seem to hear their voices just now, and she was very surprised to see Rao Xuekong, so she hurriedly stood up: "The third lady is here?" Breakfast available? ”
Rao Xuekong said lightly: "No, can my aunt invite me and Lancao to eat a bowl of porridge?" ”
The third aunt actually went to see Aoyagi's face for the first time, and then said with a little hesitation: "It's just that there is not much left, only enough for you and Lancao to have half a bowl of ......."
Rao Xuekong knew that there must not be many ingredients in Piaoliuyuan, and he didn't care, from the perspective of health, he always had something to cushion his stomach, and half a bowl of hot porridge was fine.
Aoyagi was a little reluctant to serve the porridge, of course, the orchid grass was used in the small kitchen, and there were no side dishes, just half a bowl of porridge to drink.
After eating porridge in Piaoliuyuan, the third aunt urged Rao Xuekong to go to the front yard.
On the way, Rao Xuekong began to talk again, knowing that Liu Mingru had already made a marriage. The other party is the eldest young master from Mo Mansion, named Mo Zhijing. Mofu is also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it may be slightly inferior to Liufu in terms of money, but it has an extra layer of luxury than Liufu, because Mo Zhijing's mother is from Li Mansion, and Li Mansion has produced a Zhaoyi from the second grade, Mrs. Li and Jiangnan County Taishou Ge Zheng are still cousins, and Ge Zheng's eldest daughter is the current emperor's favored concubine Yao.
In this way, Liu Mingru's marriage to Mo Zhijing is considered a high marriage.
No wonder I only heard someone from Mofu yesterday, so the eldest lady hurriedly went to greet her, this family affair is good.
And Rao Xuekong also guessed that the Li Mansion should be the Li Mansion where she earned two hundred taels, after all, in such a place, how could there be so many rich families with the same surname.
I just don't know who the person who came back from the capital is?
I want to ask the third aunt again, but she can't say anything more, can know so much, or because the eldest lady is very satisfied with this family business, since she settled down, she has shown off in front of the third aunt many times, by the way, as a concubine, how pitiful Liu Yunwei is as a concubine, and she will never find a good relationship for Liu Yunwei in the future!
Liu Mingru's ceremony was very grand.
The third aunt whispered to Rao Xuekong to explain the process of the ceremony. It is said that in addition to Liu Mingru and Liufu and others, there are also guests, priests, praisers and observers.
There were many guests who came to watch the ceremony, and when Rao Xuekong saw the group of old, middle-aged and young women wearing flowers and willows, he couldn't help but wonder if all the rich women in Jasper City had been dispatched. She and the third aunt walked quietly and quickly to the location where the second aunt was, and then watched this ancient ceremony with great interest.
Master Liu was wearing a purple brocade robe, and stood with the eldest lady in a red skirt with hairpins on her head, beaming with joy.
Zhengbin is none other than Wang Liu's, and it seems that the eldest lady has indeed coaxed her. And in such a scene, when she is a guest, the old lady Wang Liu will feel that her status is extraordinary, and she will be satisfied in her heart.
Youji and Praiser are two delicate-looking girls, one is wearing a concubine-colored light gold skirt, with two familiar eyebrows and eyes, and the other is wearing an aqua blue and white-edged curl skirt with red cherry lips.
