Chapter 56 Gifts

The Dragon Boat Festival cruise, the boat is so big, so the people invited by the Shen Mansion are also divided into long and short. A few days ago, the second lady of Jiang Mansion had just set up a marriage with the grandson of Shangshu Mansion in the capital, and the Jiang family naturally rose, so there was this post.

To say that Jiang's Mansion is in Suzhou Mansion is not low. However, when Mrs. Jiang was alive, she was proud of her talents, and she just wanted to live a leisurely life with Xu Jinxin calmly. Mrs. Zhou is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and her background and worth are there, so she naturally will not take the initiative to appear in social situations. Over time, the daughters of the Jiang family rarely appeared in the upper class society of Suzhou Mansion.

The old lady thought about it for a long time, and she had her own plans in mind. Jiang Zhen died of illness, and his son Ding was worried, and it was the time when all parties needed to move. Although there is the help of the Hou Ye, it is not a good thing to make more friends with wealthy nobles. Now that Shen Fu has handed the olive branch to his eyes, how can there be any reason not to go?

The old lady asked the two ladies to bring the three young ladies in the house to the banquet, and explained that they could not lose the face of the Jiang Mansion, and they still said that they were not sick.

Jiang Xinyao After Jiang Xinyu and Shangshu Mansion got married, Shen expected that Shen Mansion would come to post this year when he mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival painting boat trip several times, intentionally or unintentionally, so he was not surprised, and he prepared early.

This is the day that Jinjue Pavilion is waiting for!

……

On this day, Jiang Xinyao went to Jiang Xinyu's room again, and happened to catch up with the housekeeper's mother-in-law to deliver the new clothes made for the Dragon Boat Festival to the second sister. Her heart moved, so she pestered her second sister to try it on.

Jiang Xinyu thought that she was going out tomorrow and wanted to try on new clothes, so she half-pushed and half-went inside.

In a moment, the second lady dressed in a green emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a thin veil of emerald water and smoke stood up.

Jiang Xinyao's eyes lit up, and she said sincerely: "Second sister, it's so good-looking." ”

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "The clothes are good-looking, but the person is still the same person." ”

Jiang Xinyao hurriedly said: "People are good-looking, and clothes are also good-looking, second sister, let's see what jewelry to wear." ”

Jiang Xinyu said angrily: "You goblin girl, you know that you don't have a good heart, the things that your mother and aunt only chose, you are worried about it?" ”

Jiang Xinyao hated: "That's, who asked my mother not to choose one set for me?" ”

Xinyu hurriedly smiled and picked up the makeup box, opened it, and handed it to the fourth sister. "It's all here, take it if you like it."

Jiang Xinyao searched carefully, stared at the second sister for a long time, turned around, and asked Ying to go back and bring the brocade box that was placed at the head of her bed.

Jiang Xinyu smiled: "What's the matter, what are you doing with the brocade box?" ”

Jiang Xinyao stared for a moment and said with a smile: "Second sister, these earrings, rings, and hairpins they chose are all excellent in water color, and the green is also beautiful, but with your green shirt, it will be colored and look old-fashioned." And my sister is only fifteen this year, it is the youth, I can't suppress this emerald, I have to get married, give birth to a child, and become the wife of the house, I have this momentum, if the second sister doesn't believe it, just try. ”

The second lady chirped: "As long as you can, bring me to compete." "When I tried it, I really looked a little awkward horizontally and vertically, and I always felt that it was wrong with something

Jiang Xinyu was stunned and said: "I spent so much unjust money and bought a bunch of useless money, but in the end, I still look normal." ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, second sister, how can there be so many beautiful women in the world?" There are only those in the palace, most of them are women with ordinary complexions, and the key is how to dress up. One day, you wear a plain outfit and these pieces of jewelry are guaranteed to be pleasing to the eye. ”

Jiang Xinyu said curiously: "Where did you come from to know these crooked theories, could it be that your grandfather taught you?" ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Exactly, exactly, it's just that my grandfather likes clear water out of hibiscus, and naturally carves and decorates, and the requirements are higher, so just ignore it." ”

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "It's strange that I don't see you rubbing a powder in the past day, wearing a flower, it turns out that the root is here." ”

The corners of Jiang Xinyao's mouth curved and said: "It's just a matter of doing what you like, and it has become a habit to cast and vote." ”

While speaking, Yinggui held the brocade box in her hand and handed it to Miss, Jiang Xinyao took it and opened it gently: "Second sister, look." ”

This is a set of four-piece jewelry, an ice species floating blue flower chaise bracelet; a pair of colorless glass diamond-encrusted drop earrings; an old pit fully transparent hosta; A string of colorless jade beads the size of a gold-inlaid bead. The texture is pure and delicate, without a trace of impurities, and the water head is excellent, glowing with light, giving people a feeling as clear and transparent as ice cubes, and the heart is happy to see.

Jiang Xinyao smiled and said, "Second sister, this set of jewelry was originally intended to be given to you when you got married." My sister is married far away, and it is not easy to meet each other for thousands of miles. You and I sisters, the blood in our bodies is the same, and we must care about each other.

My sister thought of finding a strange thing to give to my sister, so that when my sister saw it, she remembered the friendship between our sisters in the past. I asked the shopkeeper of Jinjue Pavilion to order this set of things, which was only delivered yesterday. Second sister, it must not be easy for you to marry far away in the capital, you are not familiar with the place, and you are such a family. I can't help my sister, I just wish my second sister a happy and safe life. ”

Jiang Xinyu burst into tears, swallowing and speechless, this fourth sister never said a word more in the house, walked one more step, and was sincere to her. Now that she has given this big gift again, how can she not cry sadly. In the whole house, only the fourth sister will notice whether she is happy or unhappy.

Jiang Xinyao smiled bitterly: "Second sister, I spent all the money, and I haven't cried yet, but you are crying, it's really unreasonable, if you want me to say, I should cry together." ”

Jiang Xinyu snorted and said with tears in her eyes: "You girl, you make me cry and laugh, let me say what is good about you." Good sister, sister knows your heart. ”

Jiang Xinyao hurriedly said: "Second sister, put it on and let me take a look." After that, gently help Jiang Xinyu put it on, stand away from afar, and slowly appreciate it.

The eldest lady of the two behind her, Miss Dudao, seemed to be a different person, that is, extravagant, and smart, which really attracted people's eyes.

Jiang Xinyu didn't say anything, looked at herself in the mirror, and shed tears for a while.

Jiang Xinyao sighed secretly.

Jiang Xinyao gave her second sister jewelry, not only sisterhood, but also her own intentions.

This set of jadeite four-piece sets is colorless and transparent. In this era, colorless jadeite masters are all thrown away as leftovers, and Jiang Xinyao is extremely distressed when she looks at it. If in the previous life, the transparency is high, the color is clear, there is no trace of impurities, and the glass colorless jadeite is luminous, it is a valuable play.

Among the stones left by my grandfather, there are several colorless rough stones, which are extremely rare among rough stones, and it would be a pity to discard them. Colorless jadeite has a weakness, it is only suitable for young women, if an elderly woman wears it, it will be a little pale and powerless.

Young women, youthful, beautiful, without any embellishment can be slim, and then there is colorless jadeite, that is the icing on the cake. The glow of the glass and the white face contrast with each other, which looks beautiful and moving.

The second sister is fifteen years old, it is the age of flowers, if you wear that emerald jewelry, not to mention the dull old age, it still looks lifeless. So she observed her second sister for a long time before tailoring such a set of jewelry for her.

And Jiang Xinyao has a more far-reaching intention. The second sister will marry into the Shangshu Mansion in the capital next year, and she will be in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Since Jiang Xinyao has taken over Cuiyuxuan, she not only wants to make the shop the first in Suzhou, but one day, Jinjue Pavilion will be opened to the capital. Then, this set of colorless jadeite jewelry plays a role in throwing stones to ask for directions. Maybe it will work wonders.

Ming'er Dragon Boat Cruise, one is a wife who is like a flower and has an elegant temperament; One is a slim and delicate lady to be married, and she can be sure that the two sets of ornaments of her mother and second sister will definitely cause the surprise of the lady of the upper class of Suzhou Mansion. If nothing else, half of the silver of Jin Jue Pavilion's future income will come from these noble ladies, Miss Fu.

Jiang Xinyao returned to the room, pulled her head, leaned on the bamboo, and sighed in her heart, grandfather, grandfather, for your sake, granddaughter, I am exhausted, dreaming, how many years will I live hard, you can bless Jinjue Pavilion below, and the wealth will be extensive!

Before she finished sighing at these words, she only felt that a gust of wind was blowing in front of her, and Xin Yao shook her wit, and bowed to the sky a few times.

……

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the blue sky is like a wash, the bright light is shining, and the breeze blows a burst of heat.

There were five carriages parked at the gate of Jiang's mansion, and the ladies and ladies greeted the old lady, and in Aunt Zhou's resentful gaze, they came out. The men rode horses to Chiang's mansion to drink and listen to the play.

Aunt Zhou is at home and the old lady ignores the rules, so she can't be ashamed and thrown to the Shen Mansion. There is a big family that goes out to a banquet with an aunt, which makes people laugh.

Who is the old lady of Jiangfu, that is the young lady from the most rule-abiding place, how can the old lady be willing to slap herself in the face?

So yesterday, I asked Mama Qian to rummage through the cabinets, find a few good pieces of jewelry and two brocade forgings from her dowry, and give them to Aunt Zhou and the third lady, so as to calm the niece's grievances.

Aunt Zhou is dressed up today, standing beside the old lady brightly, she wanted to give everyone a dismount and let out this grievance in her heart. What about my aunt? I can't help the old lady like it, who dares to underestimate her.

Unexpectedly, everyone today, except for Jiang Xinyao, who was dressed in a light blue dress and did not use powder, the others were all dressed up with makeup. It is the Gu family, who is usually dressed elegantly, and now he is wearing a smoke-red slanted cloud long skirt, wearing a set of jade-inlaid diamond jewelry with excellent water color, which is elegant and vulgar, and extravagant.

Even when Jiang Xinyao saw it, she couldn't help but sigh at her mother's beauty after putting on makeup.

Looking at Zhou Xiuyue in a blink of an eye, although she is plump, rubbing fat and powder, and the tired silk and gold hairpin on her head are about to come out, but she is vulgar and unbearable. It's no wonder that Jiang Hongsheng, who was holding a tea cup, never looked away since he hit Gu Shi into the door.

Aunt Zhou looked at the second old man's expression and gritted her teeth in anger. There was a hint of resentment on his cold face, his hands clenched into fists, and his long nails poked deep into his palms, without feeling the slightest pain.

Jiang Xinyao looked at his expression, like a bow full of strings, clanging, and suddenly became vigilant, silently guarding Gu's side.

The old lady looked at the six roads, took in everyone's expressions, coughed dryly, and waved everyone away.

PS: Starting tomorrow, buns will break out with gritted teeth, two shifts a day!
