Chapter 17: New Year's Eve
On the morning of the second day, the head of Caiyi Pavilion came over with sample clothes and materials.
Yuxian also went out of the courtyard to choose new clothes to wear in the palace and the New Year.
"Let Mama Jing teach you the rules these days, especially Sister Heng, you have not been in the house for many years, you should learn it well."
"Yes, grandmother."
Yuheng is as good as a stream.
Her parents were gone, and she was very nervous and uneasy at that time, always trying to seize all possibilities to make herself stronger.
After being ridiculed, cursed, and retorted at a banquet, she was punched and kicked many times, and was repeatedly slandered by vicious language, she was taught by her grandmother to learn more and be so strong that others did not dare to provoke her, even if she succeeded.
Therefore, over the years, whether it is martial arts or knowledge, she has been constantly improving.
Only when you are strong can you be invincible.
After all, the last thing in the world is the bully.
In fact, she learned the daily rules quite well, but she had never entered the palace, and this was the first time.
You really should learn it well.
The person in charge blessed his body and saluted the old lady.
"Say hello to the eldest princess."
"Call me old lady, get used to it." The old lady raised her hand and motioned for the boss to get up.
Calling the eldest princess always has a sense of alienation, she still likes others to call her old lady, kind and natural.
"Yes, old lady." The manager quickly changed his tune.
The old lady smiled, very satisfied with the knowledge of the master.
"A few girls are like that delicate flower, and the clothes can't be better chosen." The person in charge is a clever one, and seven or eight sets of ready-to-wear clothes are selected and spread out, and the materials are piled aside to be selected.
"Master Zhou, this is for the palace banquet, don't repeat it with the girls in other mansions."
Liang reminded.
"Madam, don't worry, the villain has all the styles here, these are all new ones in the vicinity, and they haven't been booked yet."
"That's good."
"You all pick and choose." After Liang finished speaking, he also leaned over to give a few girls a palm.
Yuheng saw a simple and elegant goose yellow shirt skirt at a glance.
Approaching and stretching out his hand to experience how the material was, Yu Xian pulled the clothes down in front of him.
"Mother, this is a good style, can I try it?"
Yu Xian held the clothes in front of her eyes and asked obediently.
Liang tugged at the corners of his mouth, there were outsiders, and he didn't bother to say to her, "If you want to try, go and try it." ”
The old lady doesn't look down on her, she always looks like a little family.
Yuheng spreads her hands, it's just a skirt, let her be.
Turned his head and picked it up with Yuqing, "Eldest sister, this matches your temperament very well, do you want to try it?" ”
Yu Heng touched another light green shirt skirt and suggested.
"Really? Then I'll give it a try. ”
Yu Qing smiled softly.
Yu Xian held the goose-yellow skirt, no one paid attention to her for a long time, and she stomped her feet with a red face and went into the inner room to change clothes.
"The second daughter-in-law also chooses a few, as well as Sister Jiao, everyone wears new clothes for the New Year, they are all more festive, and today's account is also recorded in my name." The old lady was in a good mood and said proudly.
When she got married, it can be said that she had ten miles of red makeup, one dowry after another, and she went around the capital for a whole circle, and the courtyard of the Hou Mansion could not fit it, and a large courtyard was opened up for her to place a dowry.
There are also some private properties of her as the eldest princess.
Liang also knew that his mother-in-law was rich, so he was not hypocritical.
"Then thank you mother." Liang blessed his body and responded with joy.
No matter how old a woman is, she is always keen on buying fat powder, jewelry, and new clothes.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhangshi waved his hand, and the embroidery girl he brought took out a bunch of clothes.
Yu Heng finally picked a set of pink, a set of light purple, and a set of moon white skirts.
She has a fair complexion and is young, and she basically doesn't pick colors.
As for Yu Xian, because of her slightly yellowed complexion, the goose yellow skirt she snatched was worn on her body, and the skin tone of the lining was even darker.
Several masters of the Hou Mansion ordered a total of almost 20 sets of clothes, and a large amount of silver was in the account.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the matter of dressing up the Hou Mansion is on the agenda, and Yuheng sent people to buy red paper, lanterns, colorful brocade and other decorations to decorate his small courtyard.
specially invited an embroidery girl who can cut paper in the house to teach them to cut window flowers.
Yuheng simply called a few sisters to learn to cut window flowers together and have fun.
The eldest sister Xue Yuqing and the fourth sister Xue Yujiao are the only ones who are not called Yuxian.
The relationship between the two was not good, and last time Yuxian snatched the dress she first fancied, so she wouldn't call her to dangle in front of her eyes for the sake of sisterhood.
However, because of her young age, Yujiao didn't dare to bring her scissors, so she let her play with lanterns on the side.
"Third sister, I have something I want to refer to your opinion, but I don't know how to speak."
Yuqing took scissors to cut paper, and asked Yuheng while cutting paper.
"What can't we sisters say." Yu Heng said angrily, besides, she is not a big mouth,
Yuqing was embarrassed and a little embarrassed, "I heard from my grandmother that my father wrote that the snow disaster in the north this year was very serious, and many people were homeless and displaced. ”
"I've been in this situation on my way back." Yu Heng remembered that on the way back from Linshui, he saw many refugees who did not hesitate to steal and rob for the sake of a bite to eat.
After the collapsed houses and homeless, several families crowded into the dilapidated local temple.
She and Qiguan once stayed in a ruined temple.
That kind of taste, it's really uncomfortable.
"Why is my sister asking this?" Yu Heng asked puzzled.
"Didn't I quit my family, the Xipa, the happy clothes, and the happy quilts embroidered before are useless, I want to take them all out, and add some of the monthly silver I saved myself, and donate it to some people in the north to resist the snowstorm."
"What do you think?" Yuqing asked shyly, she didn't know if this would work.
Generally, the things embroidered by boudoir women, if you don't need to destroy them, the wedding clothes are special, you shouldn't have to burn them!
The patterns on the wedding dress are all embroidered with a needle and a thread, the price of the material is not cheap, the quality is excellent, and there are several beds, which are stuffed with this year's newly pulled cotton, and the material is also very good.
It's a pity to ruin it, it's better to exchange it for some silver to do some good deeds, and your heart can be calmer and more at ease.
I just don't know if it's rude.
When Yu Heng heard this, such a good thing, of course, he raised his hands in favor.
"But I have to talk to the second aunt first, and when the second uncle comes back, I will discuss with the second uncle directly, and I will donate some at that time."
"That's good, this matter naturally has to be reported to my mother." Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Heng saw Yuqing dispose of the wedding dress quilt he had embroidered by himself like this, which showed that he really let go of the dog thing of the Zhong family.
After such a thing of raising an outer room before getting married, and now Lord Zhong has been demoted to a small Yuanma Temple Temple, see where he Zhong Jiyang went to find such a good marriage!
The day before the palace banquet, the second uncle Xue Fang and the eldest brother Xue Huaicai returned to Beijing in the dust.
