096, tea ceremony (2)
Walk along the verandah in the bamboo garden to the end, which is the Mingqi Pavilion.
Entering the courtyard, you will see a two-person tall pomegranate tree, which is arranged longitudinally on the east wall of the courtyard, surrounded by a half-human high wall, which is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, and the northernmost side is a few crape myrtles with small red flowers.
The maid summoned, and then a mother came out and lifted the curtain, and they entered the house.
Mrs. Dawei wore a colorful carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown today, drinking tea with a calm complexion, and when she saw them coming, there was a slight smile in her eyes.
Xianyun looked at the past carefully, the old lady sitting under the seat of the eldest lady, her face was ruddy, kind and kind, seeing her coming, her body couldn't help but sit up straight, Xianyun recalled the news of the Qi family that the Quan family had inquired about before, this should be the old aunt's wife, the second master is her 096, tea (2) out, the second master is angry, and she earned a five-grade life, she has a place at home.
Xianyun and Qi Ziyin respectfully bowed to the eldest lady and the old aunt, and then saluted with tea.
Mrs. Datai looked at the two of them carefully for a while before she opened the tea lid and drank tea, and the old lady dared to open it and took a sip.
Xianyun took out the embroidered purse that had been prepared a long time ago, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Eldest Lady, this is a little bit of the daughter-in-law's heart." ”
It was also prepared for the juniors, but at present, only the old aunt and wife came, and Xianyun took out all the brains, so as not to lack anyone at the time and cause gossip.
Madam Gu, who was beside Mrs. Dame, was signaled, took her purse, and showed it to Mrs. Dada.
The eldest lady glanced at it, as if she was not interested, and then said, "These are all your juniors' preferences." The brothers and sisters in the family, the seventh grandmother may not know each other yet, so they all went to call to recognize their relatives. ”
I dislike the cheap purse she sent is still intentionally targeted, because the Quan family had made a big fuss in the Qi family before. For a while, Xianyun couldn't hold it for sure, only stood with his eyes down.
A moment later. The whole house was lively.
Sitting next to the old aunt and wife are the second lady, the second master, and the second grandmother.
Sitting opposite sat the eldest lady, the third lady, the third grandmother, the fourth grandmother 096, and the tea (2) milk.
Sun Yiqing, the belated grandmother, was eagerly greeted by Mrs. Da Tai to the upper position, next to Mrs. Da Tai.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Changyun, Changbo and Changhua, the three brothers were busy going out early in the morning. ”
The eldest lady nodded and said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future, and I am not in a hurry today." ”
Between words. Several girls, the young master has already entered the house, and everyone stepped forward to worship the eldest lady first, and after meeting Xianyun, Xianyun smiled and returned the salute.
Xianyun took a closer look. Most of the people present could guess seven or eight points.
"Grandmother, this purse was not made by you, I remember that a few days ago I pestered you to teach me to embroider peony flowers, which is much more beautiful than this." Sun Yiqing picked up a purse and looked at it.
No wonder Mrs. Da Tai looks down on her, she is a skillful hand of female celebrity.
Xianyun's female red has not been waiting for the stage, and the purse is made by Qinghua and Hao's mother, which can be regarded as a first-class female red.
Sun Yiqing saw it early and said it deliberately.
The eldest lady nodded and said with a smile: "This is the heart of the seven ***." "It's all about the heart.
Xianyun didn't know what to say. Lowered eyes.
The old aunt and wife on the side couldn't help but glance at Xianyun more.
Everyone talked for a while, Sun Yiqing smiled and praised: "Seventh grandma has some first-hand jewelry craftsmanship, I heard that it was passed down secretly, I want to ask for a lesson or two another day, Seventh Grandma can't dislike me as a stupid apprentice." ”
The self-deprecating statement caused the eldest lady to chuckle, and everyone laughed with it.
"No wonder. I looked at the plum blossom glazed hairpin and honey-colored crystal hairpin on the head of the seventh grandmother were particularly delicate and good-looking, and I was still thinking about which shop in Beijing sold them, which turned out to be the handmade products of the seventh grandmother. Qi Xiangzhi, the second girl standing behind the second lady, said happily.
Xian Yun saw the love in her eyes, and understood that today's purse might not be able to be sent, and said with a smile: "An aunt I married, when I was young, I was fortunate to learn some crafts, when I was young, I learned some, these two hairpins are made by her, if the second girl likes it, go to my house to see, there are a lot of novel styles, but there are some for fun, can't wait for the table." ”
The second girl immediately became interested: "I like these strange gadgets, I will definitely go to the seventh sister-in-law's house another day to have a look, sister-in-law can't bother me." "The second room is from the old aunt's wife, the eldest lady has two sons-in-law, and there are many grandchildren, and the second room must be weak, and it is normal to want to be better with her this time.
And the second girl is refreshing, and she likes it too.
Seeing the eldest girl, the eyes of the third and fourth girls were full of envy, and because they were all girls from the big house, and they knew the relationship between the eldest grandmother and the seventh grandmother, they didn't dare to speak out.
Xianyun spoke up: "If the eldest girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, and the fifth girl don't dislike it, you can come and see it when you have time." ”
The girls all nodded, and a trace of displeasure flashed in Sun Yiqing's eyes.
After the feast, the men gathered together to talk, and the women went to the old lady's house to gossip.
The eldest lady intentionally or unintentionally said to Shu Jin, which attracted everyone's interest.
"My sister has always preferred Shu brocade, so the saint gave my sister several horses, and my sister knew that my grandmother loved it, so I asked me to bring one to Mrs. Tai, saying that only a person who is so blessed as Mrs. Tai can wear that luxury." After Sun Yiqing finished speaking, she glanced at a maid.
The maid came in with Shu brocade in her hand and respectfully handed it to Gu's mother.
Mrs. Datai likes Shu brocade, which is known to the entire Jingqi Marquis Mansion, but unfortunately the best Shu brocade is rare, and it is basically contributed to the palace, for this reason, Mrs. Datai left a lot of regrets.
Seeing Shu Jin at this time, Mrs. Datai chuckled: "The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law has a heart, thank you for me, thank you for your love." "I touched and touched, and I couldn't put it down.
The moment Xianyun raised her eyes, she caught Sun Yiqing's smug look, and deliberately sent it out in front of everyone to scold her.
Xianyun's face remained unchanged, still standing lightly, the purse was just going through the motions, she was a new daughter-in-law, and it was inappropriate to send too heavy things, and it also attracted everyone's suspicion, saying that she deliberately stammered with the eldest lady, not to mention the grievances of the two families. The second lady definitely didn't like her to be too close to the eldest lady's room.
Just learn from the second wife, not near or far, the focus of her life is not on the eldest lady.
Mrs. Da asked Gu's mother to put it away, and in a blink of an eye, she saw the purse on the table. I immediately compared it in my heart.
I entered my Jingqi Marquis Mansion but didn't know the rules, and I didn't have any eyesight and knowledge, which was really not as good as her mother's mother.
glanced at Sun Yiqing with a smile. It's really more pleasing to the eye, and then said coldly: "The seven *** purses are not bad, but it's a pity that they are all fancy colors, suitable for young juniors, and the girls are all divided." ”
Blatantly disgusted, the new daughter-in-law will not get a good face when she enters the door, and she will have a hard time in the future. The soft-hearted can't help but feel sympathy.
Everyone saw the change in the face of the eldest lady, and no one dared to go up and choose.
The eldest lady was worried about Shu Jin in her heart, and after saying a few more words, she got up and left.
As soon as the eldest lady left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Yiqing opened her mouth and said: "This is your seven *** minds, but you have to put it away." After speaking, he summoned all the girls.
The girls in the big room are in the same room as Sun Yiqing, so they are naturally close and familiar, and after some selection, the rest are the turn of the third room, and in the end, only one is left for the second girl.
It seems that the life of the second room is very difficult.
After getting the purse, everyone dispersed, and Xianyun walked at the end, just with the old aunt and wife.
Out of the yard, the old aunt and his wife smiled: "The skills of the seven *** female red are already very good." Much better than us. ”
Xian Yun humbly thanked: "The old aunt and Mrs. praised it, in fact, it was made by a maid in my house, and my female celebrity is called the one who can't take it." ”
The old aunt walked in a few steps and said with a smile: "Seventh grandma is modest, I just heard that you can make jewelry, and people are curious when they hear it." The woman in the boudoir is proficient in female red is not unusual, can make jewelry that can be called a strange person, the degree of Seiko is much more difficult than female red, just like the Shu brocade, a good year to get a little, rare is expensive, Mrs. is used to seeing valuables, just like these unusual, earlier, but also particularly like the red satin of the Western Regions, the seventh grandmother should not take it to heart. ”
This is to remind her what Mrs. Lady likes, she is used to seeing common precious things, but she likes rare things, which rare things are not time-consuming and labor-intensive, she has no intention of competing with Sun Yiqing for favor, and she doesn't want to push herself to Mrs. Grandime.
When he was in the boudoir, the Quan family probably mentioned the people in the Jingqi Marquis Mansion, saying that the eldest lady had a small heart, and now that she has contacted, she does have some of them, and she likes the flattery of others.
The elders mention something, no matter what the intention is, it can't be rejected casually.
Xianyun restrained the surprise in his eyes, and said yes.
The old aunt and his wife couldn't tell whether the words were understood or perfunctory, and said: "Mingyuan Pavilion is not far from me, and I will often come to sit in the future, the girls in the family are older, and there is nowhere to play." ”
If she really passed, no matter what it was for, judging from the fact that the eldest lady didn't like the old lady, I am afraid that she would also hate her, in Jingqi Mansion, she has no backstage, and she can't act rashly for the time being.
You can't refuse at will, Xianyun said yes.
The old lady smiled and nodded, and turned to leave.
The old lady deliberately showed favor, reminded her of the preferences of the eldest lady, and invited her.
If you accept it, it will obviously become a thorn in the side of the eldest lady, but if you want to stand on her ground, she alone will not be able to come here for the first time, and you still need to ask the meaning of the second lady.
With her intuition, she felt that the second lady had great wisdom.
In the Mingyuan Pavilion, the maids were busy packing up their things.
"Girl, you're tired, let's drink saliva." Miao Er catches up.
Qi Ziyin went to the palace to be on duty after eating, he didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't rest during the day, so he ordered: "Qingyuan, you let the kitchen have a cup of chicken soup, and make up for the seventh master at night." ”
Qing Yuan said yes and went to the kitchen in the back.
"Girl, in the entire Mingyuan Pavilion, only the second lady has a small kitchen, and now the Xiao Hu family is still in charge." Qinghua reminded in a low voice.
Xianyun was surprised, suddenly understood, and saw that Qingyuan had already gone away, so he raised his forehead and said, "Let Qingyuan go and have a look." ”
Wu Su is the person of the second wife, vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and sighed in his heart: "The seventh grandmother is estimated to be weak, since yesterday to the present, there should be no and no care, and they have been bullied and laughed and exposed, the second wife sent them to help the seventh grandmother, it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, and the disappointment in my eyes is obvious."
Xianyun didn't notice Wusuo's expression, entered the house, and began to pack up several large boxes of belongings.
When the front foot entered the door, there was a voiceless voice from the back foot: "Sixth grandmother, you are here, there is a lot of chaos here, I am afraid it will stain your clothes." ”
"It's okay, as a sister-in-law and a housekeeper, I naturally want to ask about the situation of my younger siblings, so I will bring these shameless maids to make amends to Grandma Seven." Xiao Hu's face was full of smiles.
Wuli and Wusulfur glanced at each other, and one went to report, q!!
