Chapter 282 Lantern Festival
"It's good here." Because when it comes to her marriage, and she is facing her future sister-in-law, Chao Wenrou is a little embarrassed to be generous.
Banniang said: "It's good if my sister likes it." Then sister, look at it, where is the wedding room set at that time? In fact, this main courtyard is not bad, after all, this house will be given to the second brother in the future, you are the owner of this house, and you have to live in the main courtyard. And I think,This courtyard is very good with two backyards.,Although the layout of the courtyard is not as elegant as the cross-courtyard.,But it's better than the open.,I don't know what my sister thinks.。 ”
Chao Wenrou likes the West Courtyard, a purple corridor inside, outside the wall of the plum blossom window is a lotus pond, if the scenery is said, it is the best in the West Courtyard, stay in the summer night, under the moon and stars, sit under the Ziteng flower stand, listen to the wind of the summer night, taste the fragrant tea, taste the fragrance of the lotus pond, and it is more comfortable.
But as Banniang said, if this courtyard is owned by her and Zeng Zigu in the future, she will have to live in the main courtyard, but she can't say anything about this, so she smiled and said: "What my sister said, just listen to my sister." ”
Banniang saw that she agreed, so she took her to the main courtyard again, looked around, and then went back to the house and sat down.
After asking someone to add a charcoal fire, serve refreshments, and wave away the maid, then he said to Chao Wenrou: "Don't hide it from my sister, I was originally in the business of the house, so if the sister in this courtyard is at ease, I will arrange it, and I will definitely make my sister satisfied. What does my sister think? ”
The Chao family naturally prepared a dowry for her.
However, those dowries, if they are placed in this courtyard, they can't help but look a little angry, Chao Wenrou said: "It's okay, just don't spend too much, my family also prepared some household goods, but this courtyard is open and the house is also big. I'm not polite to my sister anymore. ”
Chao Wenrou's invisible temperament, Banniang likes it. So he simply took the picture album he had prepared and showed it to Huang Wenrou: "Sister, take a look, which set you like, and I will ask the family to transport it when the time comes." As for the matching decorations, it is not appropriate to trouble my sister one by one, I have some experience in the layout of the home, and I just have to dress up first, if my sister doesn't like it, it is not too late to change it slowly. ”
The two took the album and discussed.
The family style in the painting, not to mention which one or which set, is something that Chao Wenrou has never seen, so she likes everything when she looks at it, and she hesitates for a long time, and she can't get an idea.
Banniang smiled and said: "It's not in a hurry, just send someone to send a letter back, and it's time to pass the Lantern Festival, so it's better for my sister to take this album back, discuss it with my in-laws, and then call me back." ”
Chao Wenrou thought about it too, so she responded with a smile.
Banniang took some jewelry patterns, and asked Chao Wenrou to pick a few sets, a total of more than ten sets of head patterns, which were originally a new style prepared for Tai Ruixiang: "Sister also picked a few sets, and turned back to let the gold and silver shop play out, these were originally the head patterns I drew for Tai Ruixiang, there is no outside, my sister picked, I will not give Tai Ruixiang again, and I will wear it out in the future, which is also unique." ”
But looking at these patterns, Chao Wenrou also knew that her family couldn't afford it, so she smiled and said: "These are very good-looking, I didn't expect Tai Ruixiang's jewelry to have the patterns you painted, but it's too luxurious, and I can't use it." Thank you for your kindness. ”
Banniang understood.
Although the Chao family is a good family, it is not a rich family, just an ordinary official family, tired of officials for generations, although there are some family backgrounds, but because it is said that it is impossible to ask a daughter to make these heads.
But the second brother is the person who loves her the most, the second brother is married, how can she not be a sister who is not satisfied? Chao Wenrou is the second sister-in-law in the future, she loves the house and Wu, and she is also willing to treat Chao Wenrou better. Then he smiled: "My sister will be newly married in the future, that is, she will wear more luxury, and others can't say anything, but if you take this pattern elsewhere to make it, you may not be able to do it satisfactorily, I turned around and asked Tai Ruixiang's master to make it for me, and then it will be used as a dowry." ”
When Chao Wenrou heard this, she hurriedly said: "This can't be done, this is really too valuable, although I know that our family is not short of this money, but where we should be thrifty, we should always be thrifty." My sister must not spend so much money on me. ”
Banniang only smiled and stopped the topic: "By the way, sister, my second brother likes to eat the dishes I make the most, but I rarely spend a few days at home in a year, and it's almost noon at this time, why don't my sister go to the kitchen with me, I'll make something delicious to entertain my sister, if my sister thinks it's good, I'll teach you a few dishes, and my second brother will like it in the future." ”
can please her future husband, how can Chao Wenrou not want to. And Banniang called her to the kitchen like this, obviously not as a guest, but as a family, and she liked it, so she was busy.
The two went to the kitchen, Banniang cooked, Chao Wenrou also learned at home, and she was qualified.
Busy with a few dishes, Chao Wenrou tasted them one by one, although she was a northern taste, she also felt delicious when she ate it, so she praised: "Not only the dishes are beautiful, but the taste is also extremely rare, I really want to study hard with my sister." ”
In fact, this dish, Banniang originally took care of her northern taste. Naturally, it won't be bad.
The two of them ate, and it was half a sound late, only until the sun was about to set, so Banniang sent Xu Shisan to escort the carriage and send Chao Wenrou home.
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year.
Lu Qiqi also came to Baniang on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two people gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
After New Year's Day, it's time to play around.
Banniang hasn't seen Di Yong for a few days, although letters are sent from time to time, but in the bottom of my heart, I miss it very much.
On the day of the 15th Lantern Festival, the heavenly family will bring the harem to the Pan Tower to watch the lights and have fun with the people.
And the city is full of fireworks, and its scenery is magnificent, like a night banquet in the heavenly court. Banniang naturally wouldn't miss such a prosperous scene, so she discussed it with Lu Qiqi, and when the time came, we would go to watch it together, maybe we could also see the faces of the heavenly family and the beauties of the harem.
Lantern Festival feast, Di Yong, the head of the imperial guard, has no leisure. I must follow the heavens.
Even Chai Nineteen, the king of the county, also has to be accompanied.
Although Banniang knew that she had no chance to meet Di Yong, she thought that she might be able to see him in the sea of people, although he didn't know, he was also looking forward to it, so after lunch, he took out his limited clothes and accessories, and planned to dress up well.
Seeing that she stayed in the house alone for a long time and didn't come out, Cang'er looked over strangely, and saw that she was hesitating about the clothes made all over the bed, Cang'er laughed: "I said Banniang, don't bother with this, let's go out in men's clothes at night, when the city is full of people, do you still want to travel in a sedan chair?" If you want me to say, it's men's clothes, and it's lighter. ”
Although Chai Shijiu took the privilege of the king of the county and booked a private room for them in the nearest restaurant, when the time came, the fireworks and lanterns could be observed, and it would not really be crowded with people outside, but it was indeed cheap to wear men's clothes.
Banniang was full of only thinking about Di Yong in her heart, but she didn't expect this, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but regret it, she was quite smart, why was she confused at this time, no wonder people said that the IQ of a woman in love really didn't dare to compliment.
asked May to put away the shirt and dress on the bed, and honestly picked out a more gorgeous robe to change into. She is tall again, and when she wears men's clothes, she is actually more brilliant than women's clothes.
Cang'er circled around him, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, yes, white teeth, red lips, and personable, he is really a good son of the turbidity world." ”
The two laughed for a while, and Lu Qiqi had already sent someone to invite them. Banniang asked May to put on her own bun and wrap a cloak of white fox fur, and then went out with Cang'er, who had already packed up.
From time to time, I arrived at the restaurant that had been set a long time ago.
When I went upstairs, I was led into the private room by the second upstairs, but I saw that there were already two people sitting inside.
Ah Yong? And Chai Nineteen?
Chai Nineteen Purple Python Robe Wearing a crown of jade, a county king dress, while Di Yong is wearing a silver silk armor, embroidered spring knife at the waist, feet on the cloud boots, silver helmet hugged around the waist, seeing her, he couldn't help but smile, unconsciously stood up, took two steps, and then stopped.
The two looked at each other, and they only felt that there was a quiet place around them.
Banniang wanted to step forward and ask him if he was okay, but he could only stand behind Lu Qiqi.
"I've seen the county king, and I've seen the Di guard." Lu Qiqi stepped forward and hugged his fists to say hello. Banniang and Cang'er also saluted.
Chai Nineteen helped Lu Seventeen up, nodded at Banniang, and joked: "I didn't expect that the little eighth sister was dressed in men's clothes, but she didn't let her eyebrows." ”
Di Yong and Lu Qiqi met each other, and then said to Banniang: "You are here." ”
Banniang smiled and nodded.
A few people gossiped a few words.
Banniang was still strange about what these two people were doing here without accompanying the holy driver, just thinking about it, Chai Shijiu and Di Yong had already gotten up to say goodbye: "You guys play here, we won't be free tonight, so I finally took some time to come and see you." I will look for you again in a few days. ”
He said to Banniang again: "I have asked Zhao Wu about the matter of Xiangguo Temple last time, it was done by the people of Sanssouci Cave, and I have already dealt with the two of them." But they really don't know your identity, it's just a coincidence, seeing that you are stupid and have a lot of money, and they want to sell it to make some money. ”
Speaking of this, Chai Shijiu laughed: "If they had known that you were worth millions of yuan, but they planned to buy you for a hundred and ten yuan, I am afraid that if I don't deal with them, they themselves will be killed by a headhead." ”
As for Zhao Wu's request for her to return the favor, Chai Shijiu did not mention it.
Banniang thought, Chai Nineteen's attitude, could it be that even if Zhao Wu really put forward any conditions, if she can respond, she can respond?
Just thinking about it, Chai Shijiu had already planned to leave with Di Yong, and the four of Banniang all got up and sent the two of them to the door. Banniang has a lot of things to say to Di Yong, but everyone here is in full view, how can it be a place to talk? I had to watch the two leave.
At the top of the stairs, Di Yong glanced back at Banniang, and then turned around and went downstairs.
When he arrived at no one's place, Di Yong asked: "You mentioned Zhao Wulang just now, what else is there to worry about the cave, what's going on?" ”
Chai Jiu smiled: "You still don't know? Zeng Bamei was almost abducted and sold by the rats in Sanssouci Cave. But don't think about it, I've dealt with people. Worry-free cave things, you don't mix. ”
Di Yong clenched his fist fiercely. If he had known, no matter which hall of Sanssouci Cave it was, he would have swept it away.
I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, such a big thing, Banniang didn't tell him.
