Chapter 34

The next day, the side door of the north courtyard of Wenfu near the Pear Flower Pavilion was opened, and the doorkeeper was the mother-in-law

They all got up early and waited for Wen Xu and his aunt.

Since the rebellion of the Seven Princes that year, Wen Xu took the initiative to break off with Wen Weien.

The north gate was blocked. To show that there is no contact between the two governments except for the rituals.

Later, Wen Duan did not fall out of favor because of the theft of Danshu iron coupons, but Wen Xu lost Wen Dui's blessing, in

was repeatedly troubled by villains in court affairs, so he took the initiative to set up a drink and begged Wen Duan to renew his brotherhood. Twilight

I have always had some sympathy for Wen Xu, a younger brother who has low self-esteem because of his background.

So Wen Du laughed at some of Wen Xu's previous chilling actions,

Instead, he took the initiative to ask the old lady for forgiveness.

The old lady also decided to reconcile with Wen Xu out of some propositions of court affairs, so this North Courtyard

The door close to the Wen Xu Mansion opened again, but the old lady was still a little angry in her heart, so she will

The gate of the north courtyard was changed to be narrow and narrow.

The time is approaching, and the whole city of Roucheng is shrouded in the howling wind and the vast night fog, not far away

The majestic palace was also shrouded in the deep fog of the night, and only a hazy shadow could be seen.

Wen Xu accompanied Aunt Han and Wen Zhu to the Wenfu mansion one after another.

Because of the heavy wind and fog, the people below were holding umbrellas to prevent the fog from wetting the clothes of the masters.

In the Pear Flower Pavilion, Yujun had already woken up, because she slept late yesterday practicing etiquette, and she dreamed of herself

In the dream, he was also practicing etiquette, and the colorful embroidered beads methodically combed Yujun's hair and looked for jewelry.

Yujun saw that Caixiu had braided her hair too well, so she couldn't help but say to Caizhu: "Wait, wait, this bun is scattered and rebraided." I'm accompanying my second uncle and them to the sacrificial ceremony as a concubine today. The second uncle came to worship his biological mother, and I was just an escort as the daughter of the head of the Wen Mansion, and the hairstyle would be noisy if I combed it like this, and besides, there was a lady beside me. ”

Caizhu was embarrassed and hesitated: "How should the slave comb the young lady's hair?" ”

Yujun made the decision and said: "Let's comb a hairstyle with two buns piled up clouds." The two-bun cloud hairstyle is both solemn and unsurprising, and it will never make people see me at a glance when it is lined with people, but when others see it, they will think that my hairstyle is dignified. ”

Caizhu nodded yes.

When Caixiu heard this, he said loudly: "Then, miss, the slave maid will find you gold powder, tassels, silver hairpins and red coral beads to decorate your hairstyle." ”

Yujun looked at the tassel silver hairpin held in the hand of the colorful embroidery, the hairpin head hung down eight silver leaf-like tassels, the tassel feet were pink jade beads wrapped in gold wire, and the coral red beads were shining on the palm of the embroidery, which was very good-looking.

Yujun shook her head: "Not good." The red coral beads are too eye-catching, and today is a ritual, and wearing red always looks frivolous. Let's tie a small braid under the cloud bun with moon-white beads. The pink tassel hairpin is good, and it will be on the bun later. ”

Caizhu heard the words, then took the gold powder tassel hairpin from the hand of the color beads, and wound the green silk of the jade Jun with the hairpin, and made the appearance of two buns piling clouds, the green silk eats the hairpin body, the tassel of the hairpin head hangs down on the bun, the tassel is clear, and the powder beads shake slightly.

The jade in the mirror is already like a flower and jade, delicate and dignified.

The colored beads took the moon-white pearls from the colorful embroidery hands, and braided the remaining hair strands on the back of Yujun's head into slender braids, and the braids tied with a pearl every three fingers.

Twelve braids, thirty-six pearls were used.

The colored beads bypass the two braids from under the bun to make a hairstyle in which jade beads are strung around the bun. This hairstyle is called in the combing method of the Duanqi Dynasty - flowing water around the clouds and mountains. The implication is very far-reaching.

The remaining ten braids hung from the back of the head to the waist, tied with a jade-colored ribbon.

Yujun stopped again: "Don't use a jade-colored headband, jade occupies the ranking of our Wenfu girls." It's okay to use jade color on weekdays, but on such a day of sacrifice, this word is taboo. Although I don't pay much attention to the taboo of words now, today is an unusual day, so it's better to pay attention. ”

When Caizhu heard this, she untied the ribbon on her braid, picked out a moon-white and pink ribbon from Yujun's dressing box, and tied the ten braids on the back of Yujun's head.

Yujun looked at the hairstyle in the mirror - the two buns were piled with clouds, the tassels were swaying, the clouds were braided under the hair, and the moon-white pearl was shining.

It was a dignified and noble hairstyle, so he nodded his head with satisfaction, and opened his mouth again: "My eyebrows are long, longer than my eyes, and the thrush will appear to be long, and you can draw eye makeup for me." ”

Caixiu had already seen that Yujun's eyelids were slightly swollen, and she knew that Yujun didn't sleep well last night, I'm afraid she didn't sleep well because she practiced etiquette, so the eyelids were slightly puffy, and Caixiu said: "Miss painted eye makeup to cover the swollen place?" The slave maid uses light pink as the base, and then adds frost and snow quicksilver powder to the head, so that the eyelids are white and tender. And it can also line the complexion. ”

Yujun nodded her head: "Hmm." ”

Caixiu applied eye makeup with eyebrow pencils, Rui Shuang walked over from the other side, and saw Yujun's hairstyle, moon-white pearls, and pink tassel hairpins, so he said: "Miss's hairstyle is mainly moon-white jewelry, how about wearing moon-white clothes?" ”

Yu Jun closed her eyes and sighed, sat down steadily, and said indifferently: "Moon white is not bad, but it looks plain." Isn't there a leg-length armor with a light pink flowered leather jacket trimmed in moon white, just wear that one? Shoes, just wear thick-soled sheepskin boots, those lake-blue uppers are good. ”

Rui Shuang sighed when he heard this, and turned around to look for clothes and shoes.

Yu Jun closed his eyes and said, "I saw that we set off from Pear Flower Pavilion at all times, when it was still early and the fog was still heavy. I see, Caizhu, you are playing a lantern in front of you, Caixiu is helping me to walk beside you, Ruishuang and Cui'er stay to watch the yard. You're both going to have to change your clothes, and put on the pair of blue padded jackets and pale yellow platform shoes that I bought you last year. ”

Cui'er, Ruishuang, and colored beads and embroidery all agreed.

This Yujun is dressed up, and the Yujun in the mirror is more beautiful than a budding flower on the branch.

Yujun changed her clothes, boots, and colored beads and embroidery, and the two also went to change their clothes and shoes.

Cui'er found a glass octagonal palace lamp.

The color beads and colorful embroidery changed into clothes and shoes, and the two of them had a set of lotus embroidered sandwich jackets and a set of lotus leaf sandwich jackets, standing on the left and right, which was very interesting.

Ruishuang opened the food box and handed over the pastries inside, such as plum blossom cheese cube sugar cake, star anise cake with bean paste filling, autumn word sugar flower roast, etc., and said, "Miss, you can eat some." This ritual has to be performed for three hours, and the ritual is performed for three hours, so if you don't eat, you should eat some pastries to cushion your stomach. ”

Yu Junyu grabbed a piece of it and ate it one bite at a time, and the colored beads and embroidery also ate each.

Wait for the three masters and servants to finish eating.

Cui'er handed the glass octagonal palace lamp into Caizhu's hand, Rui Shuang went to open the door, and the wind poured in from outside, and the charcoal heating in the house was knocked open.

Yujun grinned and got up and followed behind Caizhu and stepped out the door.

Caixiu held Yujun with a big umbrella, and the three of them walked outside the Bitao Courtyard.
