Chapter 58: The Peach Feast

On the seventh day of the seventh month, it is not only the begging festival, but also the unique flower festival of Yunzhou City.

On this day, the women of each family will dress up beautifully and follow the female elders of the family to the river for the festival.

Put lanterns, pick lotus stamens, sing, dance......

There are also flower trellis decorated with flowers built by the families by the river.

The construction of small doors and small households is smaller, and the flower sheds built by large families are even more beautiful.

The hillside by the river is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, all of which are cobbled together by the family.

Flowers bloom on the slopes, and pavilions are built.

Aristocratic young men and women enjoy the flowers here, chant poems, and have a try.

There are also women who have reached the age of marriage will be led by the housewife to find a suitable marriage partner for their girlfriends.

Although the etiquette is strict on weekdays, noble men and women generally do not meet a few times, but they can only be seen at the Hundred Flowers Fair.

The women of all families got up early today to dress up, and the women of the Shen family were no exception.

Now there are two girls in the Shen family who have just made a ceremony, and the concubine Shen Yuzhu and the concubine Shen Zhishu have reached the age of saying goodbye.

In previous years, Zhao brought his daughter to participate, and Shen Yuzhu didn't like those poems and songs, so Zhao didn't want to take her.

Occasionally, the eldest lady of the Shen family will not compose poems when she participates in the Hundred Flowers Festival, but the second miss of the Shen family has won a few good prizes, and the poems have been selected as excellent works.

Shen Yuzhu got up before dawn this morning.

Mama Zhang, Yun Xiang, and Chunxi spent a long time just helping Shen Yuzhu comb her hair.

"The falling ponytail looks good!"

"No, no, no, the half-moon bun looks good!"

"This pair of Mingyue earrings is very flattering to the face shape of the eldest lady!"

"No, no, ruby earrings look better!"

Shen Yuzhu sat on the brocade bench and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but today's begging festival, let the little girls make trouble! “

Zhang's mother scolded the two girls with a few words, but still helped Shen Yuzhu comb her hair for a month and a half, and pinned the ruby hairpin given by the new lady to the bun.

The eldest lady has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her temperament is atmospheric and calm, which is very suitable for the ruby head.

She was just about to help Shen Yuzhu change into her newly made clothes, but she didn't want her mother's mother to walk in with a set of clothes.

Mother Wang first saluted Shen Yuzhu, then put the clothes on the table and said with a smile, "Miss, this is specially customized by Mrs. from Cuiyun Zhai for Miss." ”

Shen Yuzhu was stunned, Cuiyunzhai's clothes are not something that anyone can do if they want to, and they are not something that anyone can wear immediately after spending money.

The embroidery girl of Cuiyun Zhai came from the capital and once made clothes for the nobles in the palace.

But anyone who wants to go there to make clothes has to spend a lot of money to book it half a year in advance.

Wang Ma looked at Shen Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Madame set it for the eldest lady a month ago, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the Hundred Flowers Festival." ”

"I don't want the boss of Cuiyun Zhai to send it over in person just now, the eldest lady try it, doesn't it fit?"

"If it doesn't fit, the tailor of Cuiyun Zhai is waiting outside, and you can change it at any time!"

Shen Yuzhu's heart warmed.

Zhang's mother hurriedly changed her clothes for Shen Yuzhu.

The goose-yellow gauze is embroidered with silver thread into a plum pattern, and the cuff design style is the most fashionable wide sleeve from the capital.

The light purple pleated skirt is embroidered with flowing flowers, a very complicated embroidery method that is about to be lost.

With every step, there will be dark lines flowing in the sun, which is brilliant and eye-catching.

This one was worn on Shen Yuzhu's body, and the little girls watching around straightened their eyes.

It matches the charm of the eldest lady, and there is a kind of noble bearing.

"Thank you Mother for me!" The corners of Shen Yuzhu's lips were stained with a smile.

Although she was reborn in a lifetime, she no longer has the mentality of loving beauty.

But in the end, it's a woman, and she really likes this shirt.

Wang Ma smiled and said, "If the eldest lady likes it, the slave will retire and talk back to the lady!" ”

Shen Yuzhu rewarded Wang's mother, and then after packing up her things, she walked towards the front yard with Yunxiang.

Their Shen family also built a flower shed by the river, and they will go over and see the excitement today.

In the past, she didn't like the excitement, but this year is different.

Lu Ying had just passed the door and was also a little concerned about her family affairs.

The relatives of the girls in the house are all taken care of by the housewife.

From now on, Lu Ying made clothes for her, and these days, she talked about her family affairs with her father.

The new lady is afraid that she wants to find one for her.

Shen Yuzhu suddenly drilled out Lu Mingzhe's handsome and extraordinary face in his mind, and then smiled bitterly.

In fact, let Lu Ying help her find a reliable one, she married early, and it saved her from messing with people who shouldn't be messed with.

Shen Yuzhu walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion with the maid, and there were three carriages parked at the gate.

There are also flower branches pinned to the outside of the carriage, and the decoration is very lively.

Shen Yuzhu walked to the first carriage first and saluted her mother and father.

Shen Xiaowen's face was quite good-looking, and he commanded a few words with a straight face.

Lu Ying whispered to Shen Yuzhu, "Zhu'er, when you get to the poetry meeting in a while, your eyes will be brighter." ”

Shen Yuzhu was stunned.

Although Lu Ying is her stepmother, she is not much older than her.

She had a cheerful personality again, and this time she covered her lips with a handkerchief and lowered her voice, "Look at which family is more pleasing to the eye, and tell your mother." Mother will get you a son-in-law! ”

Shen Yuzhu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly diverted her conversation and said something else, leaving this poisonous woman.

She turned around and prepared to get into the carriage in the middle, not wanting Shen Zhishu to take a step in front of her.

Since Zhao was sent to Zhuangzi, Shen Zhishu locked himself in the courtyard as if he was really sick.

I don't come to Lu Ying's side every day to say goodbye, and Lu Ying doesn't want to see her half-dead face.

No matter how much the second miss of the Shen family is blocked today, she will not be unable to get along with her marriage.

She wore a light red gauze skirt covered with a light lotus tunic.

Standing there delicately and weakly, a little bright red, which makes people feel a little pity.

It is about her family affairs and her future, Shen Zhishu naturally refuses to miss the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Shen Zhishu stared at Shen Yuzhu's new clothes, jealous to death.

are all daughters of the Shen family, Lu Ying, a slut, only made two sets of new clothes for her, but Shen Yuzhu customized them from Cuiyun Zhai.

Shen Zhishu gritted his teeth and sneered, "Family, look at it in two ways, this is the style of being the housewife?" ”

Shen Yuzhu's brows furrowed fiercely, and she looked coldly at Shen Zhishu in front of her.

Regardless of the previous one
