Chapter 8: The Day of Dressing (8)
October 30, 43rd year of Kangxi.
It had been snowing heavily for two days in a row, but it was finally a little lighter this morning.
Before dawn, the eunuchs and mothers-in-law hurriedly swept up against the wind and snow.
The small jar faced the biting cold wind, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, and tightened the gap between the cuffs and the cotton cover, he knew what day it was, and the sprinkling was more detailed than before, for fear that something would go wrong.
After half an hour, I saw a familiar figure coming over with a big urn, my eyes immediately lit up, and I hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "I'm going to bother the two brothers again today." โ
"You mouth! Drink it while it's hot! The eunuch who carried the urn pointed at him with a smile, and then took out a thick bowl from the small basket on one side of the big urn, lifted the quilt covering the Weng, and opened the pottery lid, and a strong ginger smell accompanied by white mist-like heat instantly gushed out, and a full bowl was handed over with a scoop: "You can settle down, the little plums are burned enough today, and you will drink two more bowls in a while." โ
"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from my brothers." The small jar was poured into a big mouthful, and the hot and spicy liquid crossed his throat and forced him to inhale, but when the heat hugged his limbs, he couldn't help but sigh comfortably, and every breath out of his mouth had a strong smell of old ginger, but it relieved the bitter cold of two points, he looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and looked at the cotton cover that was still very new in his hand, and he sprinkled and swept it more energetically.
Early this morning, the gifts of all the ladies in the backyard were presented to the front yard.
Xiangyun came back from the front yard after handing over the birthday gift, and stopped talking to his master.
Nesu Ken calmly ate and chose clothes, and he would gesture to the hairpin in his hand in front of the mirror, and he couldn't see Xiangyun's movements of looking into the cabinet from time to time.
โยทยทยท Master"
Nesu Ken ignored Xiangyun, who spoke, and directly turned his head sideways and held a hibiscus hairpin with a tourmaline the size of an open hand as a petal ruby and compared it on the heads of the two small heads: "The hibiscus hairpin of this tourmaline looks good, but this flower type is too big." โ
"The master is not in the way, you see, only after this hairpin is put on, on the right side of the hairpin is a butterfly Dongzhu tassel hairpin inlaid with treasure and emerald, which is exactly the right one you are wearing today, which is very appropriate~"
"That's it, then."
"Yes." As soon as Yusi heard that the master agreed to his idea, he immediately waited for the master to put it on with a smile, and looked at the petals that swayed lightly from side to side as if they were real flowers when his master took a self-portrait in the mirror, and was dazzled for a while, I don't know whether the flower is more delicate than the person, or the person is more beautiful than the flower?
Zhang Ping'an hurriedly entered the house with snow footsteps, and neatly punched a thousand: "Master, Zhao Gonggong next to Fujin said that the master does not invite foreign guests today, but only spends his birthday with the master in the house, so he also recruited the concubines of Xin Yanlou to come together, so it is lively and lively." At the end of his speech, his head was pressed against the ground, and his voice was extremely low.
"It is their blessing to have a blessed Jin to think of the people in Xinyan Building." Nesu Ken smiled, waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Ping'an to get up, and asked Yuehua to give him the plate of mille-feuille cake on the table.
This kid is only sixteen this year, he is smart and smart, but he was a little timid to be tossed by his godfather before, and now he is the first person in her eunuch Pengzhenzhai.
Zhang Ping'an saw the reward, and he was not so tense in an instant, and after thanking him a thousand times, he withdrew with a snack.
"Mama, what do you mean by Fu Jin like this?" Yusi thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, the concubine in Xinyan Building said that she was a woman who was the master's son, but to tell the truth, that example was not as good as the big girl next to Fujin on the side of Fujin! has always been forbidden to go out of the yard, and he didn't even have the face to ask Fujin for peace, let alone today! Where can they come out?
She knew that she was stupid, and she would have to wait for her master to go to Yayin Tower with Sister Xiangyun for a while, worried that something would go wrong during the banquet and affect the master again, so she immediately asked Mama Cen for advice.
Mama Cen has always been entangled by Yusi these days, and she has been entangled in the friendship of half a teacher, and now she has the meaning of her own sons and nephews, but this girl is not good at moving her head, which is really bald.
Mama Cen didn't answer, but looked at Xiangyun.
Xiangyun knew that this was the meaning of the test, so she immediately forgot about the quilt in the cabinet, and hesitated to speak: "The slave heard that Xin Yanlou only entered two beautiful girls, who were sent in by the Wulanala family, one has good piano skills, and the other has excellent dancing skills. โ
Xiangyun didn't continue, but the meaning was very clear, Fu Jin was praising people, either with the idea of fixing favors or with the intention of dividing someone or some people's favors, but she couldn't speak as a slave.
Mama Cen nodded, and then nodded Yusi's head again.
From the moment she entered the Four Baylor Mansions, she could naturally see Fujin's embarrassment, and the solid pet was a joke, where did the solid come from without a pet? She felt that it was the Fujin who saw four women with Manchurian surnames in this mansion at one time, and she panicked, and wanted to suppress the power of the master and Igege, Li Jiagege, and Shi Jiagege, and Xu also wanted to use this to warn the backyard women, indicating that although she was taken the power of the housekeeper, she was still the Fujin and the hostess in the house, and she was still the best person to speak.
At half of noon, Nei Suken put on a big hat, held the hands of Xiangyun and Yusi, and got on the warm sedan chair.
When she stepped into the Yayin Building, there were already many people in the room, most of them were raw faces, and the room was full of fragrant powder and fat, so that she couldn't smell the fragrance of cold plums on the table.
"Please side Fu Jin'an."
Nesuken's gaze paused on the figure dressed in a moon-white waist flag suit, and then stopped on the paper gift box with a big bow tied in the hand of the girl who followed the figure before he spoke, "Let's get up." โ
The man seemed to feel Nesuken's gaze, raised his head slightly, his appearance was pure and lovely, and his figure was slender and bewitching, of course, the most eye-catching thing was the Korean-style one-word eyebrows on the pair of watery apricot eyes, and the lip biting makeup painted on his mouth.
Nesuken's footsteps did not pause at all, but the hand holding Xiangyun was tight, and there were only two big words left in his heart: 'It's dangerous! โ
What was in the closet, she hesitated this morning and didn't add it!
"Master?"
Nesuken handed the hand stove wrapped in a white powder cover: "It's not warm." โ
Xiangyun tried the warm temperature in his hand, his face did not change at all, and he cooperated: "The slave will go and change the charcoal." โ
"Miss Xiangyun went directly to Xixiaolou, and Mama Li Jia over there had already prepared a red basket of charcoal." Geng saw it, and hurriedly smiled and spoke.
"The slave doesn't dare to say a word to the girl, and the slave Xiangyun is called." Xiangyun saluted in a formal manner, and then said: "The slave is annoyed by Lao Gege's reminder, and the slave thanked Gege." โ
