Chapter Twenty-Seven: Going to the Feast
Xia Yanqing was lucky to meet a teacher like Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai entered the palace at the age of twelve, and saw a lot of bloody and bloody methods and methods of harem concubines competing for favor. After leaving the palace, I personally felt the difficult situation of having no long things.
These experiences made her not obsessed with the teachings of the sages, but admired Xia Yanqing's sobriety.
As a result, Xia Yanqing easily found a strong supporter.
Mr. Bai's teaching is normal, and the only difference is from other teachings, that is, the teaching process is accelerated to adapt to Xia Yanqing's learning progress.
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was March 25, and tomorrow was the day when Zhang Shangshu's family had a happy event.
Because Xia Yanqing's time in the capital was too short, Mrs. Liu was afraid that there was something wrong with her clothes and etiquette, so she specially sent Mama Liu and Fang Ling, who were serving closely, to Qiuyue Garden, looked at Xia Yanqing's clothes and accessories, and told her about etiquette rules.
On the second day, the ladies of the Wang family had breakfast early, and then they packed up and gathered in Mrs. Liu's room to prepare for departure.
This is the first time that the Wang family has gone out as a guest after marrying their second daughter-in-law.
Because of the twists and turns of the meeting, Mrs. Liu planned to let outsiders see the tranquility of her back house. Although the second son entered the door at the same time on the day of marriage, one wife and one concubine got along harmoniously and there was no dispute.
At the same time, in order to let Xu Qinghui be accepted by the social occasions of the female relatives in the capital, Xu Qinghui, who is a concubine, will also go with her when she goes out as a guest this time.
When Yuan took Wang Jiayu to Mrs. Liu's room, Xu Qinghui sat with Mrs. Liu for a while.
Since Xu Qinghui was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family two years ago, there is not much age difference between Wang Jiayu and her, so the two have always been friends.
The clothes they wore when they went out this time were also discussed by the two of them.
Wang Jiayu combed the fashionable girl's weeping cloud bun, and inserted two gold hairpins inlaid with green gems in the bun. There are also a few pink ribbons tied in a bun, interspersed in the bun, which is very playful.
On the ears are a pair of emerald drop earrings.
In the warm spring, she chose a goose yellow collared top, with a light lotus lotus color swing skirt, and two gold silk hollow moire pendants for the pressure skirt. In the wide sleeves, the emerald jade bracelet looms on the wrist.
Xu Qinghui combed the delicate fallen horse bun, put a few flower hairpins on the bun, and inserted a magpie Dengmei's golden step sway, a few golden tassels swayed, looking very smart.
She was a new concubine, but instead of festive clothes, she wore a light lilac dress with a few white peony flowers and a few butterflies embroidered on the placket and skirt.
The two of them are playful and lively, the other is solemn and beautiful, standing together, and they complement each other very well.
Mrs. Liu looked at the two of them, and her face almost smiled, "Look at our children, they are all really outstanding." ”
Yuan looked out the door and sighed secretly: If there was no Xia family and a kick, the family would really be too peaceful.
Xia Yanqing was the last to arrive, which was a sense of alienation that she deliberately created for herself by taking advantage of the favorable situation of Wang Xi snubbing her and the Wang family's loss.
She was going to leave the Wang family sooner or later, so she didn't want to fit in with them. Moreover, even if she arrives early and has no common language with any of them, not only is she bored, but everyone is embarrassed.
Her clothes and hairstyle were taken care of by Mama Li.
Xinshu helped her comb her fragrant bun, and there were no extra ornaments on the bun, only wearing a gold and jade crown, and two drop-shaped jasper earrings on her ears.
She was still a bride, so she wore a bright red blouse and a narrow skirt embroidered with peonies on a large red background.
Because she was participating in other people's wedding banquets, Mama Li covered her with a light Hunan concubine-colored coat, indicating that she would not compete with other brides for color, and the coat was also embroidered with peony patterns.
She entered the door to greet Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family first, and then her eyes fell on Xu Qinghui and Wang Jiayu.
Compared with the light elegance of Xu Qinghui and the others, her clothes are ...... It seems to be too strong.
Mrs. Liu and the Yuan family knew in advance that Xia Yanqing was dressed for the banquet, and it was appropriate for the bride to dress like this.
However, I don't know if it's the effect caused by the comparison between Xu Qinghui and the two, or if Xia Yanqing's own temperament is problematic. Dressed as a bride, no matter how you look at it, there is a full of recklessness.
The two looked at each other and felt helpless. It seems that she has to find time to discuss with Xia, and it's time to ask her to teach her the rules.
When Xu Qinghui and Wang Jiayu greeted Xia Yanqing, Yuan beckoned everyone to get up.
Outside the gate, Wang Tao and Wang Xi were riding horses, waiting with their little servants and long entourage. Seeing the carriage coming out, the two of them walked out with the three carriages one after the other.
As the carriage drove out of Wang's house, listening to the voices of carriages and horses gradually increasing outside the carriage, Xia Yanqing was a little excited.
This is the second time she has come out of this world, and the last time she returned to the house was a newlywed.
At that time, she was more or less worried about the situation she was going to face, and she didn't dare to make too many moves.
Now it's different, she has gathered the maids around her, and she has a certain understanding of the world and her situation, so she can be curious about what it was like in ancient times.
She took a carriage by herself, and very casually ignored Mama Li, Xinshu, and Xinxiu, who were in the same car, and lifted the curtain of the car through a gap and looked out the window.
What comes to your face is completely antique.
This is her tragic crossing, if the scene in front of her is in modern times, it must be the most realistic and huge folk museum in history.
Along the way, there were poor people in shabby clothes, or carrying baskets and burdens, and carrying children. There are also well-dressed pedestrians, who look like they should have a good family background, but the clothes and demeanor are only good.
Xia Yanqing looked at it while sighing in his heart about the difficulty of the survival of the ancient people.
From time to time, there are also BMW cars passing by, although the capital shows a bit of wealth and prosperity, but it also shows that the livelihood of pedestrians on the road is not easy.
In this way, her luck is not too bad, although she has crossed, but the background of the crossing is good.
Gradually, the noisy sound of cars and horses increased, and someone in front of him asked questions, it should be Zhang's mansion arrived, Xia Yanqing lowered the car curtain.
Outside, a lot of vehicles and horses have gathered in the wide alley, and there are servants of the Zhang family who are guiding and leading.
From the Q&A between the servants of the Zhang family and the coachman of the Wang family, the people sitting in the carriage and riding horses nearby could hear that this was the female dependent of Wang Tao's mansion.
Faintly, the eyes began to cast over.
In the distance, a mother-in-law of Xia Ke's family was watching with her feet crossed, and when she saw the Wang family's carriage arrive, she hurriedly went to a carriage parked in the outer circle to reply.
