Chapter 304: Harmony (4)
Fortunately, Yuan secretly handed her a few small notes, and said with a smile: "Sister, I heard about this last night, so I asked my maid to prepare a cheat sheet for you, you see that the serial numbers are written on it, and you can read it in order for a while, it is a few fixed sentences, it is not difficult." ”
The second sister-in-law, Cai, was also by her side, and when she heard her say this, she grabbed the note and said with a smile: "I'll take a look at whether your maid has made a mistake." ”
Hagi Niang Khan, this can also be written wrong? Judging from this posture, the relationship between Cai's and Yuan's is really not very good.
Sure enough, Yuan Shi said a little unhappily: "How can I be wrong about such an important matter, the second sister-in-law said this, as if she suspected that I would deliberately harm my sister." ”
Cai Shi looked at it carefully, and then squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "Then how can it be, I just think it's better to be cautious." ”
She said and handed the note to Hagi Niang, and said with a smile: "Sister, just read it according to this, the third brother and sister are very appropriate." ”
Hagi Niang secretly wondered in her heart, this second sister-in-law acted and spoke very contradictory, if she really thought that Yuan's was proper, how could she want to check it herself? There are some people who are inconsistent in their words and deeds, and she always feels that there is something wrong in her heart.
She smiled quietly, unfolded the note, and read it softly.
Sure enough, it is a very awkward ancient text, and there are very obscure words in it. If it weren't for the practice in advance, it would really be possible to be in a hurry, thinking of this, she smiled at Yuan gratefully.
Hagi finally took off her ridiculously heavy purple dress under the service of the maid, and changed into the clothes that needed to be worn for the first rites of the time. Turning his head, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the tears flashing in Old Madam Gu's eyes, and she slightly looked at the gorgeous patterns on the clothes.
She moved slightly in her heart, thinking quickly, what could make Mrs. Gu cry was definitely not the priceless jewelry on this dress, thinking of Gu Kaizhi, who often wore purple, and thinking of what Mrs. Gu said before, she vaguely understood that this dress was prepared by Mrs. Gu for her daughter who died young.
It is sad that the son wants to raise but does not treat the family, but what is even more sympathetic is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, such helplessness is really unbearable pain for an old man.
Memories are one of the most torturous things, when a person leaves you forever, everything about her is frozen in her most beautiful and lovely, and countless times after thinking about it, people can't help but cry.
A gentle feeling surged in her heart, no matter what happened to Huan Xuan, Old Madam Gu was just a mother who had lost her daughter.
"Mother, mother." Hagi Niang called affectionately, Mrs. Gu didn't come back to her senses for a while, she was stunned for a moment before looking at her in surprise, she couldn't call her just now, but at this time she blurted out very naturally, she smiled and said embarrassedly: "Mother will have to give me some guidance in a while, my son is very nervous at this time." ”
Old Madam Gu nodded hurriedly and said, "That's natural, I have instructed your sisters-in-law to arrange smart and clever maids, even if you can't remember those complicated etiquette for a while, they will also remind you." ”
She looked at Haginiang's petite appearance in clothes, and said lovingly: "Although Nanjun Gong is an extremely smart person, after all, he can't raise people, a good sister-in-law, how can she be so thin, you have to accompany your mother more in the future, and your mother promises to feed you for nothing." ”
Feed...... I'm not a pig...... Hagi Niang sweated, but she was busy agreeing.
It's better to come to Gu Mansion than to stay in Huan Xuan's golden wire birdcage.
In a blink of an eye, the auspicious time arrived, Hagi Niang was supported by her sister-in-law Zhang, and walked cautiously towards the auditorium, today's master is the old lady of the Gu family, the neighbor's, and the other aristocratic families in Wu County also know a little about their family's affairs, so they naturally know that this "daughter" that came out of thin air is not the biological blood of the Gu family, and some people inevitably suspect that it is an illegitimate daughter from nowhere, or a woman who has passed from the side.
Under the inquiring gaze of everyone, Hagi Niang stepped forward with a smile, she was wearing a white dress, her face was beautiful, her eyes were upright, her demeanor was generous, dignified, and she did not have the shyness and anxiety that ordinary sisters-in-law often have. Even some of the nobles who originally wanted to see her jokes couldn't find fault with her, and couldn't help but praise her calm demeanor.
It would be impossible to say that she didn't feel nervous in her heart, but she had already developed her own way to overcome nervousness, in fact, it was simple and simple, that is, holding something in her hand, and whenever she was nervous, she secretly rubbed the surface of that thing, so that she could ease her emotions.
It is said that this method still has a history, and when humans were monkeys, there was a big difference between having a weapon in their hands and not having a weapon, so as long as they had something in their hands, they were not so flustered. From a scientific point of view, at this time, the human body will secrete a special hormone that relieves stress, which is full of courage.
Now she understands why Huan Xuan wants to call Princess Wuchang to come, it turns out that the Zhengbin and Yousi of Helu Li have already selected people, and only one praiser is missing, this praiser must be a friend or sister of the person who is here, and now she can only let Princess Wuchang make up the number.
With her identity, it is more than enough for Princess Wuchang to be her guest, but in terms of the daughter of the Gu family, Princess Wuchang's royal background is still not qualified, which shows how arrogant the nobles of the four surnames of Wu County are.
Zhengbin invited the highest-ranking old man of the Lu family in Wu County, Mrs. Lu, she is also a very dignified old man, and Mrs. Gu is very intimate, and she is very clear about the situation of the Gu family, and she congratulates Mrs. Gu again and again for getting such a knowledgeable daughter.
Yousi is an old acquaintance, I saw that Aunt Lu was a little more shy than her, smiled and stepped forward with the hair ornament she wanted to give a gift, and said kindly: "Haginiang, congratulations, I really envy you." "She was born in the Lu clan of Wu County, and she has already made a marriage alliance with Gu Kaizhi, the sister-in-law of the Gu family, so she is naturally qualified to serve as a secretary on this important occasion.
The first addition, then the addition, the three additions, fortunately, the main part of the whole and the flute were completed smoothly, during which Hagi Niang had to answer a few words, just like a doll, let others toss and change clothes and headdresses.
The next thing is the word of life and the training, as the guest of the old lady Lu facing the west, the praiser Princess Wuchang offered wine, Hagi Niang turned to the north and knelt under the guidance of a group of maids, Mrs. Lu took the wine, stepped forward, and prayed to Hagi Niang: "Gan Li is only thick, and I recommend Lingfang." Worship and accept sacrifices, in order to determine the auspiciousness. The rest of the heavens, the longevity test will not be forgotten. ”。
