The lilac invitations have a vague scent. 【Latest chapter reading. ] "Osmanthus Garden Party" The juan font is eye-catching. But the autumn colors can't be happy. Flowers. What kind of flowers. She doesn't understand it at all. And she is definitely not the only one who will have a garden party. There has to be someone else. If it were just someone, she wouldn't be afraid. However, Mrs. Tongzhi is in for a treat. I'm afraid it has to be the official's wife. These officials and wives must know nothing about cooking and trading. The talk is about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or hairpin, stone, cloth and grease. Speaking is half revealing and half hiding half sentences. Don't be fooled.

Ai Laohu took a bath. Seeing the autumn color, he still frowned at the invitation. I couldn't help but laugh at her. "I didn't get so hard when I saw you arguing with people at the docks before. Isn't it just cherry blossom viewing? Why are you still worried about this? ”

Autumn gave him a white look. "Don't gloat over there. Wouldn't I be so worried if I was afraid that I would offend people and cause you trouble at the garden party? ”

"You mother-in-law just love to worry about it. When I go to the garden party, I am an official and a wife with a head and a brain. Who will open their mouths and curse like a shrew. Ai Laohu ruffled his autumn-colored hair. Then he lay down on the bed and said with a smile: "Besides, you and Qing Niang still know each other." There's her in what you're afraid of. ”

"Qing Niang." Autumn colors suddenly reacted. "That's right. Qing Niang is now Mrs. Ma's Ru. He glared at the bed. I felt a little uncomfortable.

Ai Laohu didn't see the woman's movements. Still there. "Qing Niang, please go. Naturally, it is all arranged. And you go tomorrow with that pearl. She was originally the maid of the Ma family. This kind of thing can be common. I can tell you what you did wrong. ”

"You're screaming so well. Qing Niang Qing Niang's. "The autumn color is cold and swishing.

Ai Laohu raised his head and glanced at the autumn color. Exclaimed, "Isn't it my habit?" I said, can you stop thinking so much. ”

"Hmph."

The next day. Autumn Colors get up early to rummage through their clothes. However, he found that there were no clothes suitable for attending the garden party of the official's wife. Although when married. After getting married, they all bought clothes. But most of them are made of muslin. Like the kind of satin dress worn by the official's wife, a dozen taels of silver a horse is not there.

Qiu Se took out the pink dress that Ai Laohu bought for herself before she got married and sighed. Ask the pearl on the side. "You say I can't wear this."

Pearl looked up. Although the material is a little better than the ones just now. It's too colorful. But she didn't. Just said: "Madame is good-looking." I look good in whatever I wear. ”

Autumn look at her. "Little girl. The mouth is quite sweet. Go and get the needle and thread. ”

"Ma'am. The dress wasn't broken. What to do with needlework. Pearl asked, puzzled.

"I have a big belly right now. Can you wear this kind of corset? ”

Autumn colors take apart the cinched waist on both sides. But I still can't fit my stomach. Seeing that it was almost noon, I didn't even choose my clothes. Autumn colors can't help but feel a little anxious. I used scissors to cut off all the fabric around my waist.

Pearl was taken aback. "Yikes. Madam. How to cut good clothes. ”

"How do I get in without cutting." Autumn color cut off the fabric at the waist and abdomen of the whole skirt very neatly. Compare the remaining leader above with the skirt below. Retrimmed. Tell the pearl who is curiously watching. "Go and bring me the bag of fabric I kept in the barn yesterday."

"Yes. Madam. Pearl went to the barn in the back. After a while, he walked back with a big baggage.

Autumn colors open up the baggage. Inside are some of the better fabrics. I don't want to lose it when I move. I brought it from Qingshui Town. Flip from top to bottom. The autumn colors finally hit a piece of ice-blue satin. It is about a foot wide and less than two meters long. And the texture is very thin. Or was it wrapped in strips of rags that she asked for when she was selling purses in the embroidery shop. It is estimated that the proprietress packed up her things and accidentally put them in. However, this cloth is too small to make clothes. Autumn was going to make some belly handkerchiefs or something. But then I didn't do anything when I knew I wasn't feeling well with my pregnancy.

Compare it with a pink skirt. It feels like a good match. The autumn colors left the ice-blue satin. Tell Pearl to put away the rest of the rags and put them back. He also turned out off-white wide-legged trousers and embroidered shoes with the same background. See that the color of the skirt, pants and shoes is still more compatible. Then he sat down and mended the dress.

Pearl stood by for a moment. Seeing the autumn colors, he never commanded himself. He tried to speak. "Madame wants to do it. Tell me. ”

"No, I don't. You go and take out my clothes and wash them. You don't need to wash your underwear. Then tidy up the kitchen. ”

“…… Be. Pearl hesitated. And then I went out to work.

Autumn colors glanced at her back. Knowing that this girl ring pearl must be unhappy. Actually, she was quite unhappy. It's obviously a Yahuan. But I didn't have any eyesight. The work has to be done as well. These two days. Ai Laohu yelled that the rice was not delicious. I had to let her do it. In this way. Her master is busier than Yahuan.

At the beginning of the autumn color, I was embarrassed to support her. After all, it wasn't a ring I bought. After a few times, I got used to it. Looks like we have to buy two people back as soon as possible.

It's the day of the appointment. The autumn colors come early. I'm afraid that it will be convenient for the Lord to come to the meeting. Didn't dare to eat too much for breakfast. Then start dressing up. Let's be honest. Except for the time when they got married. It's the first time that autumn colors have been so formal.

She put on her undershirt first. Ran Hao put the sewn pink skirt on his head. Seeing Pearl open his mouth wide on the side. So he called her. "Don't stand stupid. Come and help me get my hair out. ”

"Yes." Pearl asked, pulling out her autumn-colored hair. "Madame's changed dress, why there is no strap on the front. And it was sewn to death. ”

The dress was changed to a hanbok style by autumn colors. And for convenience. I made a pullover skirt. Pearl has not seen natural curiosity. But Autumn didn't intend to explain it to her. Take the comb and start combing your hair.

Pearl opened her mouth. Fingers moved slightly. Then he lowered his head and stood aside.

Autumn colors are not good at combing high buns. Only the ordinary bun was combed. And raise the position of the bun. Then he put on the pearl hair ornament that Ai Laohu bought for himself. The face was simply slapped with homemade loofah water. Then get up and tidy up. See that you have cleaned up. Then he said to the pearl on the side: "You bring the gift." ”

"Yes." Pearl took the brocade box prepared by the autumn colors and followed him out of the house. The gift was a cloak sewn from rabbit skin that Gazi had sent earlier. It's just that the cloak is a little small because of the lack of leather. It's not as good as the waist. And the coat color at the neckline is not the same as the coat color elsewhere. The brocade box is a brocade box when 10,000 people are used to send silver. Therefore it is somewhat small. The lid is almost not tightly covered.

Got on his own mule cart. Ma'an catches the car. Uncle Li looks after the house. For the first time, Autumn went to the backyard of Tongzhi in Qingchuan Mansion to make an appointment.

The same prefect is located on the back street behind the government office. It is adjacent to the prefect's residence. Autumn is here. There weren't a few cars in front of the door.

Bringing Maan and Pearl with you was the right decision. They knew the people who greeted the doorkeepers of the horses. Soon Qiu Se was led to the inner house by a grandmother surnamed Jiang.

"Mrs. Ai. Entered the gate. You can sit in a small sedan chair. My wife knew that you were pregnant, and she had already ordered you. But don't let it get you tired. Mama Jiang smiled kindly.

Autumn colors are slightly stunned. Is this Jiang Mama talking about Qing Niang? Qing Niang's words should be Mrs. Ru. For example, Mrs. and Mrs. are one notch apart. I don't know if this grandmother was careless or deliberate. But he smiled and thanked him. "I'm sorry for Grandma Jiang."

"Mrs. Ai is polite." Mama Jiang smiled. With autumn colors, he rushed to the garden in a small sedan chair.

Autumn colors got off the sedan chair at the garden gate. With the pearl, he followed Mama Jiang to the vicinity of the pavilion.

"Oops. Qiu Niang, you can be regarded as here. Qing Niang, who was informed, greeted her with a radiant face. At this time, she was wearing a moon-white plain brocade dress. The cover is embroidered with a large-sleeved shirt with silk begonias. The bun is high. Zhu Pei is dazzling. The whole person is full of confidence and flamboyance. and the lazy and helpless in the teahouse at that time, it was like two people.

"Hello Mrs. Ma." Autumn colors curtsied when Haruneu came to her.

Qing Niang stepped forward and took the hand of the autumn color. Disgusted: "Qiu Niang." It's only been a year. Why are you such a stranger to me? You've been with me for a long time. ”

Autumn colors are crooked, the corners of the mouth are bowed, and the head is lowered. But I rolled my eyes in my heart. It's really an official word with two mouths. It makes sense. If you really don't want to bow yourself. Just pulled myself up directly. Why wait until you're done to say this?

"Come on. You come here. Let me introduce you to Mrs. Zhu. She's the wife of the ambassador of the tax department. Qing Niang affectionately took the hand of the autumn color to the gazebo.

There were already two women sitting in the pavilion. One is a little older. Wearing a long dress with wide sleeves. It is embroidered with a large peony with gold thread. He wore bright gold ornaments on his head. The other is younger. Wearing a rose purple chrysanthemum robe. There is no girdle. The head is combed into a falling bun. Only a piece of emerald green hosta pinned to the hair. The same ornament hangs from the ears and neck.

"This one is Mrs. Zhu." Qing Niang pulled the autumn color to the young and older woman and said. Another finger of autumn colors. said to Mrs. Zhu: "She is Mrs. Ai, the newly appointed Governor of the Experience Division. ”

"Hello Mrs. Zhu." Autumn saw that the other party was older than herself. I said hello first.

Who knew that Mrs. Zhu was very cold. Just replied simply, and then stopped caring about himself. Autumn colors are inevitably a little embarrassing. Then he asked the young woman next to her. "This lady is."

"She is Du Niangzi. You talk to Mrs. Zhu first. I'll come when I go. "Finished. Qing Niang hurried to the entrance of the garden. Look at it from afar. It seems that a few more well-dressed ladies have arrived.

"Hello Mrs. Ai." Du Niangzi smiled and greeted Qiu Se first. Then I looked at the autumn-colored skirt with a strange face. Ask. "Where is Madame's dress made?"
