Chapter 12: Viewing the Ceremony (1)
Mrs. Hou specially invited the female gentleman to teach him to read, and also opened a small courtyard for the female gentleman to live, and Wuyu spent an hour every morning there. When I came back from Mr. Woman, I had to follow Mrs. Hou to learn the middle feed, and in the afternoon, I had to learn from the female red, and there were some talents, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
For these, there is no need to complain, I knew this was the case, and I didn't drink secretly in the first place.
Now, she can't drink even if she wants to. Since that time, Mrs. Hou has ordered that no wine is allowed in other places except the wine cellar, and the key to the wine cellar is kept by the housekeeper Uncle Lin. If you get the wine from the cellar, Uncle Lin will be fined a year's silver, and Uncle Lin will tie the key to the waistband of his trousers, which will not leave him day and night.
Wuyu really wants to say, as for it? But think about the illness that made her mother worried, and she couldn't control her mouth, think about it!
The female gentleman's surname is Huang Yinger, and she is a famous talented woman in the apocalypse. Her childhood sweetheart was a baby born in her childhood, but unfortunately the son surnamed Jin was an unblessed person, and the crown was looking to marry a beautiful girl that year, but unexpectedly a serious illness was born and died young.
Huang Yinger is loyal and vows not to marry in this life, and as she grows older, she can't stay in the boudoir and be an old girl all the time. So, with the consent of his family, he came out to be a gentleman with someone.
Huang Yinger's appearance is only delicate, but she has a kind of independent temperament, which is very attractive. At the age of thirty, she is still radiant and youthful.
She is very gentle and patient, and when she is strict, she likes her very much. The teacher and student were together in their spare time, and they chatted very happily.
As for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, what you can barely accept is calligraphy and painting. In her previous life, her parents raised her at home, and in her spare time, she also learned to practice calligraphy and drawing. Now that she has a healthy body, she can still learn to dance, at least dancing can make her slim down.
Compared with her, Lin Sien seems to be interested in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing, and for her, he reluctantly learns every talent. It's just that it is Lin Sien who is really learning, and she is watching Lin Sien study from the sidelines.
Time flies, five years have passed unconsciously, and both Wuyu and Lin Sien have grown a lot in the past five years, and the outside world seems to have changed from peaceful to undercurrent.
Three years ago, during the royal hunt, the prince was attacked by a fierce beast, and he was seriously injured but fortunately did not worry about his life. The three princes left the border to join the military camp, and the other princes also began to participate in the affairs of the court, and they never went out of the palace to play together as they once did.
It seems that a tacit alienation has formed between them, no one is close to anyone, and no one will take the initiative to mention anyone, this feeling is very subtle, but it is not difficult for others to speculate.
The granddaughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, Li Jiuyue, was invited in March, and the Ding'an Hou Mansion was also invited. In the past few years, there have been no special banquets, and Mrs. Hou has not let Wuyu attend. But this time is different, Wuyu is only two years behind Li Jiuyue, and he can be regarded as a peer. It is very important for girls, and naturally the more peers celebrate the ceremony, the more grand it will be.
Therefore, in addition to the princes and generals, there were also official ladies who participated in the invitation. Therefore, when Wuyu followed his mother to the door of the Zhenguo Mansion, he couldn't help but be a little eye-opener.
All the guests who came to watch the ceremony gathered in front of the door, and the servants were guiding everyone into the palace in an orderly manner. There was a long queue, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to finish.
Wuyu held his mother's arm, opened his mouth, and his face was full of surprise. Just as she was about to ask, Mrs. Hou seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and patted her hand, signaling her to be calm. The attendant handed the invitation to the servant, and when the servant read it, a smile immediately appeared on his face. came to Mrs. Hou, nodded and bowed, "Mrs. Hou is fine, Miss is fine, please Mrs. and Miss follow the slaves." ”
As he spoke, he stepped aside and made a gesture. Mrs. Hou bowed her head slightly, showing politeness, and walked to the open door first.
Mrs. Hou was without worry, followed by Lin Sien and other attendants, Xu is Wuyu and Lin Sien, the two flower-like girls, were a little dazzling, coupled with the attitude of the servants of the Zhenguo Mansion, everyone guessed that their identities were either rich or expensive, so they all looked here.
To tell the truth, being watched by so many people in public, Wuyu felt a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and followed Mrs. Hou into the Zhenguo Mansion.
After entering the house, the servant explained to the mama who answered, and the mama immediately came over with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Ding'an Hou, the old slave has asked you and Miss to say goodbye." My housewife explained early in the morning, and she was too busy today, so she sent the old slave here to wait for the distinguished guests, and I hope that Mrs. Hou will not blame my housewife for being negligent. ”
Mrs. Hou's forehead said, "Mama is polite, Mrs. Ben knows that the Duchess of Zhenguo can't get out." ”
Mama smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Hou and Miss Hou will go in with the old slave, there are a lot of people here today, and the backyard is lively at this time." Ladies and Ladies can also get together with Ladies and Ladies who are familiar to them. ”
Wuyu lowered her head and smiled, this grandmother is really a delicate character, no wonder the Duchess sent her to welcome guests.
In the Qixiang Pavilion, Li Jiuyue was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the makeup on the maidservant, and said dissatisfiedly: "What use do you have, you can't put on makeup." Didn't Miss Ben say that this makeup must look delicate and refined, in short, it must make everyone's eyes shine, understand? ”
The maidservants responded tremblingly, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts, "Can vulgarity coexist with beauty?" ”
Dress her up beautifully, she is too plain, and dress her up beautifully, she is too glamorous. Originally, Li Jiuyue looked a little charming, and as long as she was slightly modified, she would be gorgeous. But she just wants to make herself gorgeous at the same time, but also to be out of the world, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
The maidservants said they really didn't have that ability. But she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so she had to reapply makeup. It wasn't until the Duchess of Zhenguo sent someone to invite her that she reluctantly let go of the maidservants.
took a fan to half-cover his well-made face, smiled and threw a wink, looking at the people in the bronze mirror with boundless charm, and then stepped out of the room satisfied.
Surrounded by the maids, Li Jiuyue wore flowers and willows and rushed to Yanran Garden, where she was going to perform today's ceremony. There are still more than a dozen steps away from Yanran Garden, and as soon as I got off the verandah, I saw two maids walking not far from the opposite side with a smile on their faces, chatting in a low voice, and vaguely heard the Ding'an Hou Mansion.
Li Jiuyue slowed down and listened carefully, and heard one of the maids say, "Yes, I met the third lady of the Ding'an Hou Mansion once a few years ago. At that time, I was chubby, but I didn't expect it to look so good now. There are so many young ladies who come today, but no one has the color of hers. ”
