Chapter 100: The Full Moon Banquet (4)
Suddenly, a few days later, it was the eighth day of the ninth month, the weather was sunny and peaceful, and Zhu Fu Guang posted a banquet. Because of the errand of taking care of the female dependents, Feng's mother urged the stableman to set up two carriages, and carefully arranged for the mother and a few girls to accompany her at night.
Chen Yun took care of the house, and asked in person before reporting to the Chen family. Chen didn't intervene much, just was idle, and immediately went to Shen's mother with Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wu to ask for peace, and led the juniors Pan Cuilian, Chen Yun and others out of the backyard.
When I arrived at the front of the house, I saw that the moon was white and the wind was clear, and the eyes were full of autumn light, and two carriages that could accommodate four people were parked on the road.
Mrs. Zhou likes to be a grandmother, and she is full of joy to go to Zhu's mansion to participate in the full moon banquet, and takes the lead in leading Mrs. Wu and Chen to occupy a carriage.
As soon as she sat down, Chen Yun didn't have time to sort out her clothes, only to see Pan Cuilian pearlescent, full of splendor, a peach-colored placket embroidered with begonia patterns, both delicate and charming, even the low-key An Qichun also made up heavy makeup for the first time, and loosely pulled the bun on her head, and inserted a few silver hairpins between the buns.
Since Chen Yun's housekeeper, he has never been careful about makeup, but he thought that he was going to be a guest in Zhu's Mansion with his mother's family tonight, and it was really not good to dress too plainly, so he had to dress up carefully, combed his black hair into a Lingyun bun, mixed with beaded flowers, and inserted a Lishui purple grinding gold step at the end of his hair, and Xuan Shuo hung in the carmine Su embroidered jade hall rich placket, which was beautiful and elegant.
Shen Xueru had a hard time getting out of the door, so she naturally paid attention to it in every way, and discussed with the girl Aster a day in advance about the costumes and makeup for the night attendance.
Aster praised her for her natural beauty, even if she was plain and facing the sky, she could overwhelm the crowd, but where was Shen Xueru willing to believe her flattery, she scolded her for patting her ass, and then hurriedly picked out seven or eight sets of dresses, changed them one after another, and took turns to watch in front of the dressing mirror, so tossed for most of the day, and finally chose a pink Su embroidered Tang Yugui Yan small jacket and a moon-white tight skirt.
It was rare to look forward to the day of travel, Shen Xueru sat happily in the car, and couldn't help but fantasize about the lively atmosphere of the Zhu Mansion.
Strange to say, after the four sisters-in-law sat down side by side, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the four of them had their own thoughts and were silent.
Soon, the carriage was moving.
Chen Yun smiled first: "It's really a coincidence, these days, I have heard that several families have children and grandchildren." I just thought, this blessing is piling up, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will befall me and my second sister-in-law! ”
An Qichun smiled slowly and said: "I can't wait, I heard my sister-in-law say that the Hanshan Temple outside the city is the most effective, so I took advantage of the leisure of the moon, and went to ask for a sign, fortunately got a good omen, and was given the abbot to ask for a child charm, I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart, every day I hung this child charm on my body, lest the child come, the wrong past!" ”
Chen Yun has always envied Pan Cuilian for having a child under her knees, and now when she heard An Qichun talk about asking for a child, she couldn't help but touch the yellow fish talisman.
Pan Cuilian just
Sitting opposite her, seeing her soft eyes and a look of urgency to get a child, I couldn't help but speak: "I once heard our aunt say that there are women in Yangzhou who have been infertile for a long time, and the family is in a hurry, and there are people who steal piles and walk the bridge to ask for children!" ”
"What's so strange about that?" Chen Yun raised her eyebrows, looked at Pan Cuilian who was smiling all over her face, and said with a smile: "I heard Ruiyun say that there is a woman in Huizhou who is infertile, so she ran to the deep mountains and old forests and threw stones into the cave to beg for a child!" ”
"What's the reasoning?" Shen Xueru is eager to learn.
Chen Yun was embarrassed to speak, but just smiled.
Shen Xueru laughed when she saw that she didn't answer, and she couldn't figure it out, so she hurriedly squeezed under Chen Yun's shoulder and asked one after another.
Chen Yun couldn't be bothered, so she had to stick it in her ear and say the reason, but she saw Shen Xueru blushing from her cheeks to her earlobes.
Pan Cuilian and An Qichun knew the reason, but they were ashamed to say it, and when they saw Shen Xueru's face was red, they each bowed their heads and smiled.
Slowly arrived at the heavenly street, only to see Zhu Yongbi tile, the pavilion is uneven, the vendors on both sides of the congested street are piled up, and see the surrounding colored lights flickering, a water of red wood beams are hung with all kinds of lanterns, the original dark and dull night is dotted with misty, like a fairyland.
Shen Xueru was so bored that she panicked, and seeing that Chen Yun and the others were silent, she simply leaned on the carriage and opened the curtains slightly to look outside.
On the road, the BMW galloped, the fragrant car continued, the red man and the green woman laughed and walked, the old woman walked with the help, and the widower cow crawled with snails.
Shen Xueru stared blankly for a while, only to feel that thousands of people and thousands of faces were fresh faces, and they were so bored that she couldn't help but lose her interest. Just as she was about to lower the curtain, a figure suddenly appeared in Shen Xueru's field of vision, the figure was very thin, but she couldn't take her eyes off.
At this time, there were fewer pedestrians on the road ahead, and the handlebars lifted the reins and moved faster.
Shen Xueru was engrossed in looking at the figure, not paying attention to the acceleration of the carriage, so as not to sit unsteadily, and her body leaned back suddenly.
Fortunately, Chen Yun made a timely move and firmly supported her.
Shen Xueru smiled embarrassedly, and went back to the window, only to see that the figure was gone, and she couldn't help but feel disappointed, sighing.
Chen Yun couldn't help but be suspicious when she heard her sigh constantly, and hurriedly glanced out the window, only to see Gu Jinjian just come out of the medicine hotel, and immediately felt relieved, so she smiled evilly and leaned to Shen Xueru's side, and whispered: "So you're looking at him!" ”
Pan Cuilian pointed her ears and asked with a smile: "Who is he?" ”
"It's a friend of my brother, my sister-in-law and I have met him before!" Shen Xueru said, couldn't help but glance at Chen Yun, and asked, "Did my sister-in-law say it?" ”
Chen Yun lowered her head and smiled: "Yes!" ”
Pan Cuilian saw it in her eyes and asked no more.
After another moment, the carriage gradually slowed down, and Chen Yun was relieved, and only smiled at Pan Cuilian and Shen Xueru.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped completely, and the door of the Zhu Mansion had already stepped forward, Chen Yun and the others stepped down one after another, only to see a beast-headed gate open, and there were several people in gorgeous clothes standing in front of the door, and two girls with beautiful eyebrows came to guide the way.
Chen Yun and others followed step by step, first passing
The threshold, to the east through a long about a shot away from the sandwich road, and then see the embroidery pavilion carved Xuan meandering, Zhu Yong Biwa continuously, and there are countless Qi trees and Yao grass, falling flowers are colorful, falling pink and yellow.
At this time, the girl who led the way turned sharply and went straight to the west.
Chen and the others entered the mansion from time to time, always caring, careful every step, even if they saw the girl leading the way, they didn't say much, just followed silently.
Soon, the mountain turned around, the willows were dark and bright, and a rockery with its own green and moist atmosphere appeared in front of him. Chen Yun crossed the rockery and looked deeper, only to see the pavilion behind the mountain, the palace was handsome, and there was a faint fairy music coming out of the air.
Passing through the rockery, I saw a pavilion standing, the beads in the embroidered curtain surrounded by cuiwei, several musicians gathered together, or plucked the ice string jade pillar with their hands, or played the elephant pipe Luansheng, together composed a loud tune, floating in the air, for a long time.
Chen Yun listened to the music attentively, only hearing the sound of the complex tune, the silk and bamboo vertical and horizontal, sometimes like the sound of Li beads and rhyme, sometimes like the warbler and the swallow lane Guanguan, sometimes like the Mingquan flower bottom stream, sometimes like the bright moon under the cold and clear, sometimes like the crane on the ridge of the high cold, sometimes like the step of the void fairy Pei Ye Shanshan, twists and turns, joy and joy, only should be in the sky, rare in the world.
Entering the small building, look up and face an ebony red plaque, the plaque is written with the words 'Binyue Building', and there is a line of small characters at the bottom, which is not real. The sideburns in the building are fragrant, and a red sandalwood carving case is set up on the top, and there is a three-foot-high bronze tripod in the case, and an ink painting is hung on it, with a size of thousands of miles, depicting the ecological scenery of the Gusu wind curtain and green curtain, and the smoke willow painting bridge. On one side of the carved case is a white glazed animal ear jar, and on the other hand is a rose purple glaze. There are sixteen Huanghuali comb back chairs on the ground, and only the left side is empty.
Mrs. Zhou looked around, but there was no trace of her daughter Shen Xueqing at all, thinking that it was because she was still in the room for confinement maintenance, so she glanced back at Mrs. Wu and Chen, and led a few juniors to meet Mrs. Zhu, who was sitting at the top.
Chen Yun saluted, listened to Mrs. Zhu's politeness again, and then went down to the seat with Pan Cuilian.
Sitting down in full clothes, Chen Yun finally had a chance to look around, only to see Mrs. Zhu's delicate face and high spirits in the center of attention, her black hair was combed into an ingots, and two golden phoenix hairpins were inserted between the buns.
To the left of Mrs. Zhu stood an old servant, who was about fifty years old at a glance, far less eye-catching than the young woman opposite. I saw that the young woman's slender jade body was draped in a carmine armor, her face was like a hibiscus, her waist was like a thin willow, her black hair was piled up into a Hanyan wig, and there were few beads between the buns.
Chen Yun has never entered Zhu's mansion, but she has only heard Shen Xueqing mention it a few times, saying that Grandma Zhu is sincere, quiet and peaceful, and Grandma Zhu is poor and cheap-tongued. Seeing that the young woman's face was calm and she served Mrs. Zhu with great respect, Chen Yun estimated that the young woman should be Grandma Zhu, but she was just curious about where the second grandmother Zhu who loved to fan the flames had gone.
Shen Xueru saw a room
The female dependents didn't know a few people, so they didn't feel bored, so they leaned into Chen Yun's ear and muttered softly: "Sister-in-law, why don't you see Sister Qing?" ”
Chen Yun looked back at her and said, "I don't know very well, it's probably not long after giving birth, hide in the house to recuperate!" ”
Shen Xueru sighed and slowly sat back upright.
Chen Yun saw that she was silent, and slowly withdrew her gaze, and when she saw that there was fruit tea in the seat, she quietly brought it to her hand.
Before the tea was finished, I saw a maid wearing a red silk and green silk pinching vest walking in, and said with a smile on her face: "Madam, our grandmother sent me to see if my mother's wife and grandmother have arrived, and said that if I arrived, I would invite all the ladies and grandmothers to talk over there!" ”
