Chapter 249, Turning the Face (1)
So, after some careful grooming and dressing, Yan Yan changed into a pipa sleeve placket with thousands of purple and red patterns, and wore an emerald green fairy skirt like a peach blossom for children.
These two pieces of clothing were given to Yan Yan by the queen a year ago, both are Yunjin, and naturally they are also rare tributes, Qinghe especially likes the pattern of children's play with peaches, not only the meaning is good, but the patterns are also realistic, so they made a skirt for Yan Yan, and the whole hem is just a group of frolicking children, which also fits with the peony flowers in bloom in the top.
In addition, Yan Yan was also wearing a set of red gold and emerald headdresses given by the queen, which was very luxurious and elegant.
"Wouldn't it be too grand, in case it steals the limelight from the prospective bride?" The nurse looked at Yan Yan in full costume and asked worriedly.
Yan Yan hooked the corners of her mouth when she heard this, this is what she wanted, if it wasn't for the limelight and smashing the field, she wouldn't have bothered to raise her feet.
Half an hour later, Yan Yan entered the upper room of the Lu family, and there were also Zhu, Huang and Lu Ming himself, seeing Yan Yan in full costume, Zhu and Lu Ming's eyes flashed a trace of displeasure, Huang smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but Mrs. Lu beckoned to Yan Yan with a smile on her face, "Eldest grandson, what are you busy these days?" I haven't come to see me in days. ”
"Back to my grandmother, my back garden began to be cleaned up, and I went to the clan and the village a few times, and selected a few people to be in charge, and my grandmother also knew that there were too few people around me who could be used, so my father found a few from the clan for me." Yan Yan walked up to the old lady and curtsied.
The smile on the old lady's face became even kinder when she heard this, of course she knew that Yan Yan was giving face to her son, and it was Lu Duan who promised to find some livelihood for the people in the clan, but after Yan Yan said this, it was Lu Duan who showed favor to Yan Yan, not Yan Yan who gave Lu Duan face, could the old lady be happy when she heard it?
Seeing this, Yan Yan took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of cleaning up the back garden, I really brought two good things to my grandmother today, one is such a big soft-shelled turtle, which is said to have a lifespan of more than ten or twenty years, and a few long fish with such a thickness, just for my grandmother to try and make up." ”
"Long fish? Isn't it a snake? Zhu frowned and asked.
"Back to my mother, the long fish is also called an eel, not a snake, and in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a man named Bao Zhao wrote the "Quasi-Ancient Poems" with 'Call me to the table, Chen Eel hair scoop pot.' There is also the great poet Du Fu of the previous dynasty, who also wrote poems about long fish, and people still have a way to do it, called 'Su silk with long fish, green wine with jade grains.' But I haven't figured out exactly how to do it, so I think it should be shredded and stir-fried with some rice wine. I read it from a medical book, saying that this kind of long fish is very nourishing, and it is humble and solid, so my grandmother and mother might as well try it. Yan Yan explained with a smile.
"Oh, a long fish, and so much knowledge, even Du Fu wrote poems and praised it?" Zhu was a little unconvinced, and looked at his son.
Lu Ming's knowledge is not bad, and when he heard these two poems memorized by Yan Yan, he quickly remembered the source, "These are two sentences from Du Fu in "Sending the Record of the Mansion to Return to the Hometown". ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her face was full of smiles again, "It's right to listen to Da Lang's daughter-in-law, not to mention, the soup praised by the emperor that day is also a great supplement, and after I came back, I only felt comfortable all over my body, and I slept more soundly than usual in those two days." ”
"If grandmother wants to say this, I will send someone to bring you two cups every month in the future, this kind of thing can't be eaten every day, and it can't be made up for a big hair, so it has to be in moderation." Yan Yan was afraid that the old lady would say that she would send the cook in the stove room to learn, so he blocked the other party's way first.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?" After speaking, the old lady glanced at Zhu.
"No, Mingyuan Restaurant has already launched this soup, one or two silver and a cup, I can ask them to send it here in the future, it's very convenient, I want to eat it myself, I also send someone to the restaurant to get it, this dish is too troublesome." Yan Yan said it clearly.
"A tael of silver?" Huang whispered beside him.
"I will also send a cup to the second aunt to taste it another day, it is all made of precious mountain and sea delicacies, and it takes a lot of work, I don't believe it, the second aunt asked my grandmother and mother, even the queen mother and the queen were full of praise that day, or the emperor would not be able to give such a domineering name." Yan Yan explained.
"This is also true, just like the same clothes used to make clothes, you can't buy these two pieces of material without a hundred taels of silver, right?" Huang Shi looked at the embroidery patterns on Yan Yan's body and said.
"She's a makeup satin in the cloud brocade, a tribute, what kind of eyes?" Mrs. Lu thought that this daughter-in-law had embarrassed her.
Huang saw that the old lady glanced at herself, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm really sorry, and please don't laugh at your second aunt's clumsiness, your second aunt has never seen anything good." ”
Yan Yan saw that Huang didn't squeak for a long time, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she made her own assist, and couldn't help but doubt her true intentions.
However, Yan Yan did not waste Huang's intentions, and specially walked in front of her to discuss the difference between Yunjin, Song Jin and Shu Jin.
Zhu, who was sitting on the side, saw that his son was impatient to listen to this, so he hurriedly interrupted the two: "Okay, don't talk about this." Dalang's daughter-in-law, I called you today to let you accompany your second aunt to Yan's house to give a dowry, and in addition, you have to sign a letter of appointment, this is a gift list and a letter of appointment, if you don't understand anything, ask your second aunt more. ”
After Zhu finished speaking, he took out two big red books from the high table next to him, Yan Yan did not step forward to pick them up, but said with a smile: "Mother, it's good for the second aunt to go alone for this kind of thing, after all, I came out of the Yan family, how can I be an older sister and give a dowry gift to my sister?" I'm afraid that if I say something I shouldn't say in a moment of excitement, it will be rude to spread it. Also, anyway, my second brother and I also had a five-year marriage contract, and I went to give him a dowry gift, I was afraid that people outside would laugh at me for being the biggest fool in the world. ”
"What are these words? It was you who lost your morality at the beginning, it was you who proposed to withdraw from your family, and you were the one who said that you wanted to marry your eldest brother. Lu Mingyi stood up excitedly, if it weren't for the scruples of these elders in the room, he really wanted to leave with his sleeves brushed up.
"The second brother responded to a sentence like this, and he was annoyed and angry, shouldn't he be weak-hearted? I'm just saying that I'm not suitable to be this bride price, why is the second brother so anxious? Yan Yan still asked slowly.
"Why are you talking about this again, didn't you say that you shouldn't mention it again?" Old Lady Lu drank Yan Yan.
"Grandmother, you also heard it, it wasn't me who mentioned it first, it was the second brother who turned over the old accounts, since I have turned it here, I really have to have a good fight with him." How could Yan Yan give up this good opportunity?
