Chapter 030: Fighting for Beauty

On the twelfth of July, the wind was gentle.

The most gorgeous and wide carriage of Liufu passed through the mouth of Ginkgo Street in the bright sunlight, turned into Nan'an Street, and headed for the Li Mansion.

This carriage is said to be dedicated to the eldest lady and Liu Mingru, made of nanmu, which seems to be specially designed for summer, and the carriage is hollowed out as a whole, hanging with lake blue gauze curtains, the wind can blow in, the air can circulate, and it is not stuffy. The people outside can only see the people sitting inside, and there is a certain amount of privacy. The horse is tall and athletic, fast and steady, and the suspension of the car seems to be quite good. The seats in the carriage are divided into left and right, two people can sit on one side, the polished Nanmu seat is thoughtfully designed with armrests, and there is a fixed small table between the two, which is divided into four small compartments and has a cover, and there are some pastries and dried fruits and other foods in it.

The carriage rented by Rao Xuekong last time was similar to this one, but the specifications were much smaller, and it could only seat two people, and it was also made of ordinary wood, and the shock absorption was much worse.

This dynasty was similar to the Tang and Song dynasties, but it seemed to be more accommodating, and even the carriages were of various types. The eldest lady has one kind of one, and the other one is open, and the seat is an umbrella-shaped canopy, which only shades the sun, and it is clear who is sitting on it. This one is mostly ridden by men.

In winter or rainy season, it is a tightly sealed carriage, and the car will be covered with carpets or something to keep warm.

In the car, the eldest lady and Liu Mingru sat on one side, and Rao Xuekong and Wang Ruier sat on the other.

The weather was hot, and several people were dressed lightly, and they were colorful and delicate. The eldest lady wore a red folded branch pile skirt, combed a perfect fallen horse bun, inserted a cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin and a few burnt blue inlaid gold flowers, wore red gold inlaid with eastern pearl earrings in her ears, wore a necklace inlaid with beads and gold around her neck, and wore a skein red gold bracelet on both hands, and the whole lady was dressed up. The eldest lady is thirty-three years old, because she is pampered all the year round, her skin is white and soft, she looks a few years younger, although her appearance is not extremely beautiful, but the style of your lady is more than enough.

Liu Mingru looks similar to her, although she is young, she is not as calm as the eldest lady, and she is more impetuous, so her dignified appearance is ruined, but she is not as good as her mother. But today, Liu Mingru was dressed up by the eldest lady, wearing a peach pink butterfly from Jinhua Pavilion to work, wearing a soft and fragrant silk skirt, and a green shawl, the whole color is very delicate. She combed a smart flying fairy bun, wrapped in a silk and gold twigs and flowery hair ornaments, wore glazed peach blossom earrings in her ears, wore red gold rings on her neck, wore coral bracelets on her hands, and the embroidered toe caps exposed by her skirt were also decorated with large eastern pearls.

Wang Ruier is also dressed up, with a chest-length skirt with emerald blue and silver silk butterfly patterns, and a moire tooth white shawl, as if she wants to be as delicate as Liu Ming. Xu is Wang Liu's family is afraid that she will be compared to Liu Mingru, and she is also combed in a flying fairy bun, and even the headdress is somewhat similar.

The powder on the faces of the two was thicker than usual, and what made Rao Xuekong a little speechless was the eyebrows of the two, the eyebrows were too dark, and the eyebrows were slightly shaped, which made the two of them feel sad.

This unlucky makeup reduces the brightness of the clothes by a few points.

Rao Xuekong didn't know that Da Yu Dynasty was somewhat similar to Tang, women's pursuit of makeup was very enthusiastic, popular and changeable, and this eyebrow makeup was still popular recently.

Liu Mingru has obviously made a marriage, but the purpose of dressing up to go to the banquet can hardly be hidden, and Wang Ruier is obviously nervous and excited along the way, which is also Sima Zhao's heart.

Rao Xuekong didn't bother to pay attention to them, and watched the people coming and going outside through the screen along the way, eager to go shopping again.

It was followed by two other ordinary carriages, Lan Cao and Chunyun and other maids. The eldest lady was unwilling to let Rao Xuekong follow her in this carriage, but when she left the mansion, it was a matter of face, and she couldn't treat this concubine harshly, so as not to ruin the reputation of herself and Liufu.

Mingru and Rui'er's clothes are made of high-quality soft incense silk, a horse costs three thousand taels, and it is from Jinhua Pavilion, which is naturally beautiful. But Liu Yunwei, a cheap girl, wearing a dress made of eight hundred taels of soft fragrant silk, doesn't look much inferior to them! Liu's slut, the female red is really good!

It's a pity that she is too thin, weak willow, and young, and Liu's thoughts will definitely be in vain. But Liu dared to think like this, go back and see how she beats!

Lady Liu glanced at Rao Xuekong and turned away with contempt and disgust.

Li Mansion is at the end of Nan'an Street, and the area is not larger than Liufu, but the gate is much more magnificent than Liufu. The two stone lions at the gate, one on the left and one on the right, are very mighty.

I don't know if they came early, but now there is no one else at the door, but two grandmothers are waiting, and when they get out of the carriage, they greet them and welcome them into the door.

Entering the gate, the wall of the green brick cornices is left blank, and there are a few green trees planted in front, which is very elegant.

Bypassing the wall, the atmospheric garden makes people feel suddenly enlightened.

The rockery corner pavilion, the flower trees are deep, and the verandah is tortuous.

The group walked through a verandah, descended a few wooden steps, and walked a few more steps to the gate of the first courtyard. Two delicate maids greeted him.

The grandmother who sent them over blessed the eldest lady and said: "Next, the little peach girl will take the ladies and ladies in, and the slaves and maids have to go to the gate of the house to wait for the other guests." ”

The eldest lady replied politely: "Mama Xie leads the way." When the grandmother retreated, she said to the maid in the pink peach dress: "There is Miss Lao Xiaopeach." ”

Chunyun took a step forward with a very eye-catching eye, and handed over a purse with blue embroidered flowers, it looked like it was quite heavy, and he wanted to come to the eldest lady to look up to the Li Mansion, and he didn't dare to be stingy with the maids of the Li Mansion.

Xiao Tao tugged her purse into her cuffs without a trace, and then her smile became sweeter. "Mrs. Liu, three young ladies, please go with the slave maid."

Rao Xuekong entered the Li Mansion but came a little spirited, after all, it was another ancient garden, just like a tour. However, these women are extremely slow to walk, and they have to pay attention to grace, and she is a little impatient.

Fortunately, it was soon time to hold a lotus feast today.

said that it was a lotus feast, so naturally there must be a lotus pond. Seeing the lotus pond, Rao Xuekong couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Oh yes, this lotus pond is really big enough! This has to be called a lake!

The gourd-shaped lake is full of lotus flowers, lotus leaf fields, flowers are like delicate guests, and they are beautiful. There is a verandah built by the lake, the corridor wall is painted green, carved with flowers and leaves, branches and branches, hanging pink gauze curtains, all rolled up at this time, but with the breeze lightly, and the lotus lake into a scene.

At this moment, a figure wearing a jade-colored brocade robe slowly walked from the other end of the corridor. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his flying hair, upright posture, and chic steps all showed that the person who came was an extraordinary man.
