Chapter 18: Uncle
On the lakeside, on an elegant bamboo and wood table, a thin azure porcelain cup smits white smoke, and jasmine tea is brewed inside. There are also a few plates of the chef's elaborate dim sum next to it, a tender white little hand stretched out from the side, pinched up a piece of osmanthus cake, tasted a bite, the owner of the hand was moved by the deliciousness, the big eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, showing a happy and satisfied smile.
Yan Qingge's daily life now began with enjoying delicious food in the morning. Drink fragrant tea again, read and play the piano, **** maid, just wait for your uncle Le Yi to come, not to mention how comfortable the small life is.
Today, she moved a bamboo recliner to blow the wind by the water, and put a thin blanket made of antelope wool on her lap, which was light and warm, just for this kind of weather. On the thin carpet, there is also a volume of scenic travelogues written by predecessors, although he does not leave home, Yan Qingge can travel the world in the sea of books.
Suddenly, Ruyi happily ran over from the gate of the courtyard and reported: "Miss, my uncle is here, and my lord asked you to go to Hanyouju." ”
"Okay, I'll go back to the house to change my clothes, and remember to bring the gift I prepared." Yan Qingge immediately stood up excitedly, and he didn't care about etiquette, lifted the corner of his skirt, and trotted all the way towards the house.
She doesn't have too many clothes in her closet, but according to the custom of the house, she makes four new sets of new clothes every season. This year's spring shirt, only one set has not been moved.
This set of clothes is a peach-colored gown and a pale pink skirt, which looks bright and lovely, although there are no flowers embroidered on it, but it is better than the atmosphere and solemnity.
Yan Qingge put on this dress, and asked the lady who was waiting to comb her hair to comb her beautiful hanging bun, and fixed it on both sides with pearls decorated with yarn peach blossoms. During the action, the bead string on the pearl swaying gently swayed on the side of her sideburns face, and it was even more beautiful to set off a small jade-white face.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Yan Qingge felt that something was still missing, she thought for a while, and said, "Go and open the treasury and take a string of pearl necklaces left by my mother." ”
In Le's dowry, there are a lot of good things, in addition to expensive furniture, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, there are also many things that exceed the specifications of the aristocratic family, such as the antelope wool blanket used by Yan Qingge, and many pearls and gems, all of which are tributes to the royal family from all over the world, and ordinary nobles can't get it at all.
In her previous life, these things were taken by Aunt Hai to take the opportunity to embezzle, Yan Qingge had never seen them, and she didn't know that there were so many treasures in her biological mother's dowry.
When she opened the warehouse of Qingxingyuan in the past few days and unpacked and counted the items, she was taken aback. With Lejia's family wealth, it is absolutely impossible to buy so many good things, and then thinking back that the Yan family was able to make a marriage contract with the prince, she felt more and more that it was not easy for Le's to marry the Yan family at the beginning.
These good things are also moldy in the warehouse, Yan Qingge has a wide heart, regardless of their origin, from time to time to find two things to use.
Ruyi listened to Yan Qingge's instructions, hurried to do it, and brought a string of pearl necklaces with each bead the size of a thumb belly, Yan Qingge put it on her neck, and her dress suddenly became luxurious and compelling, and she was decent. This pearl necklace makes the advantages of the simple cut of the red dress obvious.
Mrs. Chen, who combed her hair, saw it, knowing that Yan Qingge didn't like people with too many mouths, but she couldn't help but praise: "When the eldest lady dresses up like this, she is a fairy, and she should be compared." ”
Yan Qingge smiled faintly, saw that everything was cleaned up, took Ruyi and another slightly older grandmother, and went to Hanyouju.
As soon as he entered the gate of Han Youju, Yan Qingge's eyes lit up, wasn't it his uncle Le Yi who was talking with his father in the courtyard.
I saw Le Yi with a high nose and wide forehead, his eyes were like stars, the outline of his facial features was obvious, his skin was fair, his black hair was pulled into a bun at will, fixed with a hosta, and the whole body was full of the style of a merry and famous man.
Patience with the excitement in his heart, Yan Qingge stepped forward a few steps, and saluted respectfully: "Qingge has seen uncle. Hello uncle. ”
Le Yi and Yan Songnian haven't seen each other for many years, and they are talking about their respective experiences over the years, when they heard the voice, they lowered their heads and saw that it was a generous and beautiful villain saluting him, this little man was full of aura, every move, everywhere was polite, and his appearance was almost exactly the same as his sister when he was a child, not the niece he hadn't seen for many years.
He was excited in his heart and said, "No need to be polite, come and let my uncle take a closer look." ”
