Chapter 108: Self-inflicted humiliation

When Duan Yixian saw the girls in Dongfeng Pavilion, she frowned and wanted to speak, but was blocked by Miss Huang Er in advance.

"They don't seem to have the same clothes as us?"

Attracted by Miss Huang Er's words, all the ladies took a serious look at the girls standing or sitting on the bridge.

In addition to the different clothing, there are also different hair accessories.

How high they are here, and the unmarried girls only have one strand of sideburns on their temples. This is because the climate in Zhangzhou is hot, and the long hair will be soaked with sweat when it hangs down behind you, which is really not beautiful.

But today those girls are on the water, and there is wind around them. Flowing, coupled with the fact that their dresses seem to be lighter, they look fluttering and beautiful.

"The one wearing the tender yellow lake green and lilac dress is the style of the Jiangnan side. The little girl over there loves quietly, and she doesn't like to use gold jewelry, even if she does, she is inlaid with jewelry, only for embellishment, and prefers hairpins and silk flowers. ”

"Ah, you said that the hairpins on their heads are all fake flowers?"

"Yes, it's made of light yarn and pearlescent silk cloth, and a skillful artist can make realistic foliage. It's a pity that I didn't find a craftsman who was willing to leave Gangnam with me when I came. ”

Wei Jin sighed: "I have put some collected hairpins in the water pavilion in front, if you are interested, you can try to wear them." ”

At this time, Miss He San probed over and approached Miss Huang Er.

"Second sister, look, this cuckoo on my head was made for me by the third sister, it's good-looking."

"Ah, I thought it was true if you didn't say it, and I thought I'd quietly ask where you bought the cuckoo."

You must know that there is no greenhouse here, and the flowering period of the azalea is not at this time, and the hairpin on her head is not big, but it is very real, and the silk flowers they see in the gold and silver jewelry building are completely different.

Miss He San has a good temperament, and when she saw that her little friend wanted to see it, she asked the maid to take off the hairpin and give it to the newly met little sister to wear and play.

There are several boxes on the long table inside the water pavilion, and three of them are filled with flowers. There are peonies as big as a baby's face, osmanthus flowers as small as rice grains, and red plums decorated with pearls on the side and double petals in the middle.

The young lady of the Zhao family is already engaged, and she is also older among them, she has always liked big flowers, and her dressing style is also older. She is wearing a crimson dress today, and she is wearing a golden step on her head. Obviously only two or three years older than them, it doesn't look like they are of the same generation.

She herself knew that it was not appropriate to dress up, but no one at home had ever instructed her, and she always dressed herself according to her mother's dress.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but today when she saw those girls with different styles in Dongfeng Pavilion, she lied to herself if she didn't envy them.

"This peony is just right for Sister Zhao." Wei Jin reached out and picked up the largest vermilion peony in the middle, "Sister Zhao, do you want to try it?" ”

"Is this the right fit for me?"

"How inappropriate." Wei Jin led her to sit down next to her, and the handmaid with the spirit came over with a glass mirror.

A wooden box padded with red velvet cloth was placed on the dressing table in front of her, and the skillful Lan Xiang tied up her sleeves, dismantled the bun on Miss Zhao's head, and placed those old-fashioned jewelry neatly in the wooden box.

In addition, a servant girl came with a dowry, and there were not many things in it, all of which were delicate little pieces of gold ornaments.

"Miss Zhao is blessed with a round face, which is most suitable for Feiyun bun."

Lan Xiang said as she quickly combed her hair in a bun, two or three golden butterfly hairpins were placed in the bun, and the beautiful big flower was inserted in the back. From the front, you can only see the edges of the petals of the flowers with high buns, and two golden butterflies fluttering their wings. From behind, you can see the beautiful big flowers and the silky bun that seems to be falling.

The original earrings were also replaced, and the butterflies the size of small fingernails were decorated with two pearls the size of rice grains.

The clothes are still the same clothes, but as soon as the hairstyle is changed and the jewelry changes, Miss Zhao is much younger in an instant, and she looks similar to their sister.

Miss Zhao pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, reluctant to replace it again. glanced at the jewelry he brought with disgust, and thought about how he should open this mouth if he wanted to take Miss Wei San's jewelry away.

Her family is not richer than other families, although she is also a local scholar, but her father and mother are not good at business, they all rely on her father's monthly income to live, and she is happy to exchange her heavy gold jewelry for this set, but her aunt is determined to scold her to death.

Wei Jin, a person with a lot of essence, knew what she was struggling with when she looked at Miss Zhao's expression.

"I invited all my sisters and sisters to play today, and I don't know what to prepare. If you don't dislike it, these jewelry hairpins, sisters can choose their favorite ones at will. ”

The maid in Tsing Yi who was waiting next to her bowed, turned her head and ordered, and after a while, the little girls came over with more than ten or twenty velvet boxes, which contained a lot of hairpins and pearls, gold and silver inlaid jewelry.

Wei Jin knew at a glance that this was not her own thing, but at this time, she couldn't let people withdraw and send the ones she had originally prepared. I can only smile and lower my eyes and make a note in my heart.

Everyone is very reserved, even if they are excited, no one really holds it.

Wei Jin didn't seem to notice it at all, and beckoned everyone to sit down and drink tea and enjoy the song and dance.

As soon as the music changed, the girls of Dongfeng Pavilion danced, and the light water sleeves were slightly raised, as if a group of carefree girls were frolicking.

Those who are good at music and rhythm are immediately attracted to it, sit down to admire, hear the wonders, and do not forget to secretly write down this rhythm in their hearts.

Most of the ladies cultivated by the big family are good at the piano, and a small number of them really don't have talent in this area, and they won't speak at will. But that Duan Yixian didn't know if it was because Wei Jin didn't give her face, and she started to be a moth again.

"We're used to watching these songs and dances, and there's nothing to see. I heard that Miss Wei San can write poems and paintings, why don't you chant a few poems and paint a few pictures for us? ”

As soon as she said this, even the faces of the ladies of the Duan family changed slightly.

Is this to put Miss Wei San and the girls of Dongfeng Pavilion aside? Perform for them?

Duan Yixian smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked at Wei Jin contemptuously.

"Miss Wei San is the master, so she won't even be able to meet the guests' requirements."

Miss He San was furious, stood up and wanted to get angry, but was held down by Wei Jin.

"It's not difficult to chant poems and paint, but I'm afraid that if I can't understand Miss Duan, it will be very embarrassing. After all, according to our habits, the host's family recites poems and feasts guests, and the guests are also a pair of poems, and the poetic rhyme and feet must match, if it can't come out......"

Wei Jin lowered his eyebrows and smiled, but he didn't finish.

Wei Jue suddenly sighed, raised his hand to cover his face: "Sister, don't say it, I think about it again, it's too embarrassing." After it was spread, it was difficult for even the girls in their family to say that they were married, and when people mentioned it, they didn't know the general situation. ”

When Wei Jue spoke, his big eyes looked at Duan Yixian, as if he was talking about her. can make Duan Yi's face turn blue with anger.
