Chapter Thirty-Six: Cuiyun Qiu
It turned out that Qin Songen heard that Peony said that Qin Songhui's banquet would be held tomorrow, and she suddenly had an idea, she planned to take this opportunity to fight quickly, and she didn't want to stay here and fight with these people anymore!
Tomorrow, the access control of the Qin Mansion will be relaxed, the host will go to the front yard to entertain guests, and all the people will be sent to the front yard to help, and the backyard will be unattended, so she decided to simply take this opportunity to explore Qin Lian's study! After all, with her true skills, as long as she is fast and careful enough, there will not be too many people in the Qin Mansion who can find her moving.
Qin Songen lay on the bed with his clothes together, and carefully recalled the layout of the Qin Mansion in his mind, and after repeated scrutiny, it gradually became clear, and a feasible route had been drawn up in his mind.
However, just when she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden burst of mournful shouts from the location of the west wing, at first, Qin Songen thought that Qin Songci was binding her feet again, her heart fluctuated, she turned over, and blocked her ears with a pillow in annoyance, but gradually those shouts seemed to be covered by someone, leaving only a low whimper, and gradually inaudible....
A trace of bad thought faintly flashed in Qin Songen's heart, she put on her coat and got up, pushed open the window and saw that it was time to fall asleep, the west wing where Qin Songhui lived was still brightly lit, and there was obviously something unusual going on....
Fortunately, after a while, Mu Xi and Pomegranate returned. Although they were seconded by Peony to help in the front yard, there was no place for them to sleep, so they still had to go back to Qin Songen's side to rest at night. Originally, I would be busy until late tonight, but I don't know what happened, and the wood and pomegranate actually came back early.
Qin Songen saw that after the two of them came back, his face was not very good, and he thought that he had suffered some grievances outside, so he hurriedly asked, who knew that the pomegranate was a dish, and when he saw Qin Songen, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
Qin Songen hurriedly went up to stop it, and only then did he hear the second daughter intermittently talk about the turmoil in Qin Songhui's room tonight.
Lu Li, "Etiquette" listed it as the first ceremony at the beginning, as a kind of ceremony for the noble women of Ye State, it has an extraordinary status in a woman's life. As a girl's coming-of-age ceremony, after the ceremony, it is equivalent to officially announcing to the outside world that she is an adult and can get married. "Etiquette. The Wedding of the Scholar says: "A woman is allowed to marry, and she is courteous." ”
However, this kind of grand celebration is generally popular among the upper nobles of Ye State, after all, you have to have money and leisure to organize a ceremony, like Qin Songen's original Orion background, although he is already considered a middle-class family in the village, but it is just to invite everyone to have a good meal.
But in the Qin Mansion, especially Qin Songhui's maternal grandfather's family is the Cao family, which is naturally more solemn and complicated.
Qin Songhui began to prepare the dress to be worn at the ceremony as early as a year ago, especially the last large-sleeved long skirt, the top and bottom of the dress, called "Cuiyun Qiu", which is the work of dozens of skilled embroiderers who spent nearly eight months to weave a green fur fur with peacock feathers unique to the Baiyue region, which is golden and beautiful.
On the long tail of the peacock, only the top of the "bead feathers" are picked for thread making, and these short fine fluff hairs need to be twisted and wrapped on a long thin silk, and then tied with green silk threads in sections, so that the green velvet is wrapped on a filament one after another, and the "peacock feather thread" woven into the long skirt is formed. The cuiyun qiu made of it "is seen as a color, as a color, as a color in the day, and as a color in the shadow", and "the shape of a hundred birds is seen", with the angle of light and shadow, the time of day can change into different colors, wear on the body, raise hands and feet are dark shining cuize.
Originally, Qin Lian was the official position of Wupin, even if he served in the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't get such a dress, or the grandfather of the Cao family heard that his granddaughter and Lu had specially ordered someone to go to Baiyue a year ago to customize it.
Qin Songhui couldn't put it down since she got this Cuiyun Qiu, if it wasn't for the fact that she was a blockbuster at the ceremony, she would have taken it out and put it on. Cao was also afraid that her daughter would not spoil it carefully, so she kept it in her room for safekeeping.
Until tonight, in order to prepare for tomorrow's wear, he specially ordered the peony to be taken out of the cabinet and given to Qin Songhui's room.
Who knew that Qin Songhui was anxious, and she couldn't help but want to try it on again that night, so Pearl and a few personal maids were busy serving her to put it on. Who knew that it was such a coincidence, because there were many guests coming, many experienced big girls were transferred to the outer courtyard to entertain guests, and even Qin Songhui only left a pearl by his side, and the new little finch was originally a third-class sprinkler maid, but because she had a sweet mouth, was clever in doing things, and was willing to learn, and she also gave peony money to make money, so she had the opportunity to serve Qin Songhui in the past few days.
In the past few days, in order to leave a good impression in front of Qin Songhui, she has grabbed everything on her head, and she has already provoked the eyes of the original maids around Qin Songhui, and her diligence and initiative seem to be lazy, so this time those maids secretly planned to give this little finch a dismount.
Rao is to serve Qin Songhui to dress this kind of thing also needs Xiaoque to come over to help, Xiaoque doesn't know what the plan is, but she is also bold to get started, who knows that she is used to doing rough work, there is a big callus on her hands, the skin on her hands is rough, and there are a lot of barbs on her nails, originally such a person could not serve Qin Songhui closely, but by chance, she actually asked her to touch Cuiyunqiu.
Suddenly, I don't know which part of my hand it was, but it was just brushed on the Cuiyun Qiu, and a peacock feather line was hooked, and the bright thread was exposed on the Cuiyun Qiu, which was supposed to be flawless, which suddenly made Qin Songhui let out a piercing scream.
Pearl and a few maids were also panicked at this time, they originally asked Xiaoque to come over and serve Qin Songhui closely, just to see her make a little mistake, who would have thought that her hands could be so thick, and she directly hooked a thread on Cuiyun Qiu, no one expected such precious clothes to be so difficult to serve....
Pearl was still thinking about how to remedy it, and when she saw the angry Qin Songhui, she picked up the official kiln teacup at hand and smashed it at Xiaoque's head: once, twice, three times......
