Chapter 554: The Ten Highnesses of the Loser
These rich daughters in Shangdu City hold a Hundred Flowers Party every year, and there are also people from the Wenguo Mansion who participate, but the people who went to participate in previous years were all Bai Jinghong, because she was the only concubine.
Among the famous nobles, the distinction between concubines and concubines is still very strict, and the children of the main room and concubines generally think that the concubine room is the most unacceptable, and even the slave and maid are not as good. The concubines and concubines are even more face-saving existences, and they can't get into their eyes at all, and they are not qualified to play with them.
Therefore, for many years, it has been an unwritten rule that the Hundred Flowers Club only invites concubines, and it has been observed in this way every time.
But in the past two years, some of the concubines have also participated, just because those concubines and the organizers have a place to play on weekdays, so they have also been invited. Although people don't like it, people usually give face to the organizers and don't stop them from going.
But even so, the concubine is just a foil after all, not to mention cooking tea, even the understanding and understanding of flowers are not comparable to the young ladies, so naturally they can't be in the limelight, so they can only be a spectator.
This year, three young ladies of the Bai family were invited, Bai Yanyu was the first to get up, she got up before dawn, and after washing, she began to compare clothes. Carefully put on the new clothes, and from time to time asked the maid: "Is it good-looking?" Does it fit or not? Am I going to look too high-profile in this color? Will those young ladies not like it? ”
She was very worried, the dress was peach-colored, very gorgeous, and she also chose the best gauze silk, and invited a famous tailor to cut it, and the finished product was produced in a short time.
Bai Yanyu likes it very much, this is the most beautiful clothes she has, and this style and this kind of material can only be worn by Bai Jinghong in the past, although it is not as luxurious as Bai Zhenzhen's clothes always fall with pearls and gems, but the charm is also full, which makes people look at it at a glance which noble lady is it, how can it not be worn by a concubine.
Of course, she can't afford such materials and tailoring, this is what Bai Zhenzhen helped her get, and it is also the silver that Bai Zhenzhen produced. Although Bai Zhenzhen didn't care about this bit of silver at all, Bai Yanyu wrote down this kindness, thinking that she would definitely repay it in the future.
The maid Lichun saw that her young lady liked and was uneasy, so she hurriedly said: "Since the fourth lady helped you prepare it, you can wear it with confidence." The second lady of this dress has also seen it, didn't she also say that it looks good? It can be seen that there is nothing that cannot be worn. ”
"That being said, but I've never worn such good clothes, and even in the past, my family didn't prepare such good clothes for the Chinese New Year, and I can't walk in such a cold dress."
It's not that you can't walk, the shoes are all new, and the embroidery on the upper is added with silver wire, which is very luxurious.
"Miss practice more, in the future, you will communicate with the second and fourth misses, and there will definitely be more and more good things."
"That's right." Bai Yanyu nodded, "But we also have to keep our position and duty, people treat us well, we not only have to know how to be satisfied, but also know about Entu." Lichun, you remember, in the future, you must be sincere to the second and fourth misses, and you must not have some crooked thoughts. We can't compare with others, people give it is love, people don't give it is their duty, give it to us, don't give it and can't ask for it, you know? ”
Lichun hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, the slaves and maids understand." ”
Bai Yanyu was so nervous that she didn't sleep for half the night, Bai Zhenzhen slept until dawn, if it wasn't for the Hong family to come into the house and call her, and sleep there, the maid wouldn't wake up.
The Hong family also has no way to take his daughter, "You are the first time to participate in the Hundred Flowers Fair, even if you are not excited, you have to get up early to prepare, don't embarrass your second sister if you wear it." I see that you haven't made a new set of clothes, what are you going to wear? It's not always possible to wear the usual body, so how can you wear it? ”
Bai Zhenzhen was helpless, "Mother, if I wasn't still growing, the clothes I didn't have in the cabinet were enough for me to wear for ten years, what else could I do?" What's wrong with my usual body? There are dozens of pearls on it alone, why can't you wear them? Besides, you don't know what the hundred flowers will be for? I'm engaged now, if I dress up like a flower and go out to show off, how can I turn around and make the Hades angry again? ”
Hong's didn't expect this, and when she heard her daughter say this, she felt that she was confused, so she didn't scream, and simply said, "You can sleep as long as you like!" Then he lifted his leg and walked away.
However, Bai Zhenzhen still got up from sleep, the Hundred Flowers Club still had to go, not only to accompany Bai Yanyu to be in the limelight, but she also wanted to join in the fun and see what kind of scene this aristocratic daughter and Hundred Flowers in Kyoto would be.
Today, Bai Zhenzhen didn't wear red, only a pale yellow long skirt, but there was still a verbose of pearl agate and the like on it. There's no way, there's not a little red in her clothes, and it's not a thing that doesn't inlay these verbose things, who makes you rich!
However, this dress was dyed by the white crane when he was a child in Nian Xiyuan, "Go to the mountains and dare to wear yellow, are you afraid that you are crazy?" Have you studied in this life these days? How many bugs do you have to recruit when you enter the mountains? ”
Bai Zhenzhen really doesn't have this common sense, but she has a trick, "Didn't you give me a sachet to prevent mosquitoes?" I carry it all day, is it difficult to go to the mountains? ”
Hakuzuru touched his nose, "yes, I forgot, so let's wear it!" ”
After speaking, he turned his head again, and Bai Yanyu also came. A peach-colored long skirt lined her little face more delicately, Bai Heran had to sigh that the genes of the Bai family are really good, and the children are all born beautifully, although the Lin family is also good-looking, but if the father's genes are poor, it will also have an impact. She couldn't help but think about Bai Xingyan's appearance after shaved his beard, and thought that he was a little white face when she was young.
The two younger sisters didn't know what she was thinking, so they gathered around one by one and asked a lot about the Hundred Flowers Club. But Bai Heran was also the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, so the three of them went out in confusion.
Ma Pingchuan recently made a new carriage, took the silver dyed by the white crane and selected the best yellow rosewood, and built a very large carriage, which could seat more than a dozen people if it was not crowded. Even if it's spacious, it's okay to sit seven or eight.
The layout of the carriage is even more fine, the table or something needless to say, there is a heart in the four corners of the corner cabinet, the corner cabinet is also divided into multiple layers. In the two cabinets next to the door, there are two sets of teapots, tea bowls, tea cans, and snacks and fruits prepared every time you go out. In another corner cabinet are several oil-paper umbrellas and ponchos.
There were two cabinets inside, one containing a girl's dressing box, and the other containing two sets of brand new clothes.
The clothes are naturally dyed by white cranes, and it is the carriage that Chuan has made this car and told Yingchun about the purpose, Yingchun feels that this new carriage is really practical, in case of emergencies need to change clothes, isn't it just right to change in the car. So I quickly chose two sets of spare clothes from the house and put them on hold in case of emergency, and even filled the makeup box and a few pieces of jewelry.
In this way, the car is extremely valuable, and it is worth looking at. But if you think about it now, there is a sword light, and you feel steady.
In addition, the windows of the carriage are also very elegant, not just hanging curtains in the past, this time it is equipped with small windows, which can be pushed outward, and the curtains are inside, just like the houses of the occupants.
There is also a hidden compartment under the seat to store many things, and there is even a brand new night incense barrel in the Spring Festival.
Such a carriage has a certain weight, and if you want to pull more people, one horse is not enough.
Ma Pingchuan set three horses this time, all of which were good horses he tamed, and even the saddle was replaced with a new one. The three big horses have shiny coats, one black, one brown and one white, and they are very beautiful. There are three horses to pull the cart, even the weight of thousands of catties is not a problem, and it can travel hundreds of miles a day, Ma Pingchuan is very proud.
When the white crane arrived, the car was also very satisfied from the outside, although it was made of yellow rosewood, but it was not painted very brightly, it was not dazzling if it was not bright, and it was not dazzling, except for the three horses that were more conspicuous, the others could be regarded as low-key luxury.
It's just that I was stunned when I got on the car, not to mention a big night pearl hanging on the top of the carriage, and there were also a lot of gems embedded in the four walls, which looked a little similar to Bai Zhenzhen's clothes.
She cast a suspicious gaze at Bai Zhenzhen, who quickly raised her hand and swore: "I really didn't do it, I didn't know that you hit the new carriage, and if I did, there must be more gems than now." There is some style of this car, but it is not exactly my vision, and I will probably cover it with beads. ”
The white crane dyes and strokes his forehead, and he really can't play with the local tyrants.
Ma Pingchuan was very proud, "Miss is famous, and she is too extravagant for fear of being said, so this car can't be seen from the outside, and you can only see these when you enter the carriage." ”
Bai Heran sat down, touched the table made of jade and asked Ma Pingchuan: "I only gave you three hundred taels of silver to make a new carriage, how did you spend three hundred taels to achieve this effect?" ”
Ma Pingchuan laughed dryly, "Where is three hundred taels enough for these, in fact, three hundred taels didn't cost anything, and they were still in the slave's pocket!" When I went to look for someone to take the carriage, I saw His Royal Highness the Ten, and as soon as I heard that the slave was going to give the lady a carriage, His Highness the Ten brought the slave back. He said that he had been preparing to go down a long time ago, but he hadn't started work yet, so he didn't tell you, Miss. No, I finally got out of work yesterday, so I hurriedly sent someone to send it over. ”
Bai Heran was helpless when he heard it, okay, that unlucky one actually did such a big thing silently. This carriage, this material, these pearls, gems and jadeite, how much silver does it cost? Loser thing!
Bai Yanyu is even more novel, looking left and right, and his mouth can't be closed.
As everyone knows, the three of them are studying the new carriage, and in this Wenguo Mansion, there are also people who are watching all this sourly......
