093 Follow the Xie family
Jade Wing and the other little girls laughed out one after another, but the second master of the Chu family was really cleaned up by his own second lady.
Soon the two sisters and brothers went to the Zizhu Courtyard where the old lady lived, and the old lady was also sick these days, although it was a little wind and cold, but there were some times when it was not good. The younger generations of any family have to visit the elders of their own family before going to participate in this Panlong Mountain sacrifice.
The elders in the family will give a sachet with dogwood to these juniors as a blessing, and some old people with sharp legs and feet will also follow the juniors up the mountain to enjoy the scenery and seek a good fortune for longevity.
In the past few years, the old lady went every time, but this year, because of Chu Yu's matter, the old lady was not in a very good mood, and the old lady's body was not as good as day by day, and today the task of praying for the blessings of the ladies of the Chu family was handed over to Chu Yue, the second lady of the Chu family.
The old lady looked at Chu Yue and Chu Yuanze who kowtowed to her in front of her, especially this grandson of her own, who had not been in shape at all in his clothes before, but this time he was wearing a brocade robe with indigo embroidered bamboo patterns, and his hair was also regular, and he was buttoned on the top of his head with a white jade crown. Although the injury on his face was not yet good, it also added a bit of old and steady air to his body, and the old lady nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't kneel, get up, this year, there are few people in our Prime Minister's Mansion, and if we only send two carriages to send you to Panlong Mountain, it will seem a little shabby and inconsistent with the faΓ§ade of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After a while, you will follow the people of the Xie family, there are more people on the Xie family's side, and they are more lively, but there are more people and they talk miscellaneous, you two must remember not to cause trouble for me outside. β
The old lady said this, but turned her gaze to Chu Yue, Chu Yue secretly felt funny, she is already very well-behaved now, okay? Why does everyone think she's a troublemaker?
Chu Yue and Chu Yuanze both took the dogwood sachet handed over by the old lady, as well as the silver wrapped in red paper, and went to Panlong Temple to buy incense money when the time came.
And in this Panlong Temple, the ladies of those families also have to hold some poetry meetings, and they have to do some small games at the poetry meeting.
Chu Yue took the silver and gave the old lady a thumbs up, the silver in this bag is dozens of taels to say the least, and it looks very pleasing to replace it with a thumb-sized silver ingot, but it is always good to have silver flowers.
After saying goodbye to the old lady and listening to the nagging in Chu Xiufan's study for a while, Chu Yue took his younger brother out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the carriage arrived at the door of the Xie family in a short time.
Although there are only two children in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Yue and Chu Yuanze, there are also many maids and old mothers who are waiting before and after, and some people are even more eye-opening when they wait at the door of Xie's house.
The Xie family is also a big family in the rivers and lakes, although there is only one grandson of Xie Changan, but there are many uncles who can't stand Xie Changan, cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins, and there are more than a dozen people in total, plus those little girls of the Xie family who are dressed up in flowers, Chu Yue took a cursory look at almost more than two hundred people.
She looked at the dozens of people around her and her younger brother, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, she didn't know what her father was tossing, look at the Xie family, this is called a big family.
His father is only busy harming people and not having more children, and now it seems that people are not prosperous, no wonder his father took such a fancy to Chu Yuanjiang before, and there are too few people in the Chu family.
"Ah, isn't this the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Suddenly, among the ladies of the Chu family, a woman wearing a red dress and looking bewitching walked out and walked directly towards Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was slightly stunned, although there were not too many restrictions on the clothing of the noble women of the family during the Double Ninth Festival, so the women of the family regarded this event as a spring outing or even a blind date in disguise.
Everyone is wearing a special beauty, but there is no swagger like the beautiful woman in front of her, a red dress without the slightest pattern but like a newlywed bride, only embroidered with dazzling silver plum blossom patterns at the corners of the red dress, it looks like a unique flavor.
Chu Yue has never been very interested in the people of the Xie family, so he has not carefully studied the kinship of the huge family of the Xie family like Chu Yu, this time he just looked at this woman, and walked towards her with a gold and silver bead on his head, but this woman was too enthusiastic and she was not good at cold faces, so she had to be blessed a little, but she returned the gift with a cold face, but she cast her eyes on Xie Chang'an, who was standing on the side, with a cold face.
Xie Chang'an promised clearly in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, he would take her Chu Yue to participate in this sacrifice event, and the woman who greeted her Chu Yue was a member of the Xie family, so Xie Changan should introduce her, but Xie Changan didn't bother to remind her that Chu Yue was ugly.
But Chu Yue couldn't do this all the time, staring at her, she had to bow down and bless the woman in front of her again, and said with a smile: "I don't know what to call this sister?" β
As soon as Chu Yue's words fell, the ladies of the Xie family suddenly burst into a low laugh, and then covered their lips with handkerchiefs, in the end, it was a woman from a big family who smiled without showing her teeth, but Chu Yue heard a strong sense of ridicule from the laughter of these people.
The woman who greeted her paused slightly, and then laughed.
"The second miss is really good at talking, the concubine is Mrs. Ru of the Xie family, I have long heard that the second miss of Chu is cute in ice and snow, and now it is really a rare beauty embryo."
Chu Yue suddenly realized that he had heard that this Mrs. Ru of the Xie family had heard before, although she was the wife of Xie Fuping, but she was relaxed and smart and clever was the most liked by Master Xie, and they only had an eight-year-old daughter under their knees, but it was not too much danger to Xie Changan, the sister-in-law, so Mrs. Xie didn't want to provoke this woman to be looked down upon by the old man, so she let her publicize.
Chu Yue hurriedly smiled: "If Mrs. praises it falsely, Yue'er is just a vain name in this capital." β
Although Chu Yue felt that Mrs. Ru crossed the official lady of the Xie Mansion and came out to greet her, it was a little out of the rules, but after all, as a girl, who doesn't like others to praise her beauty, her attitude towards Mrs. Ru was also a little kinder, and the two of them were talking to each other when a sharp female voice suddenly came.
"Who is I? It turned out to be the second miss of the Chu family. I heard that the second lady of the Chu family is also going to be the side wife of the eldest son of Xie Fuyan, so she is also very reasonable with Mrs. Ru of the Xie family. β
There is definitely something in this statement, Chu Yue is not stupid, but Chu Yue is about to become Xie Changan's wife, and now it has been spread in the capital, but the reputation of being a wife of someone else's family is not very good.
Mrs. Ru's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned to look at the convoy parked on the side of the road.
