Chapter 21: Birth (2)
The morning air was slightly cool, Lu Tang slept in a daze, and after being helped up by Pu Jia, he sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Pu Jia saw her young lady innocently open her eyes in a daze, like a confused little rabbit, and felt that she was really pitiful.
Over there, Cai Wei came in with a basin with a smile from the outer room, and said playfully: "Miss, get up and clean your face, I'll go to Madame's side in a while." ”
Lu Tang pouted aggrievedly, and was reluctantly held by Pu Jia's arm, and stood up.
"It's all because this bad weather makes people can't get up." She muttered under her breath.
In fact, the weather outside today is excellent, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the thick snow on the ground is dazzling. There are also ice skates like translucent crystal pillars, hanging in rows on the eaves.
After Lu Tang cleaned her face, Cai Wei used a small silver spoon to dig out some milky rose paste from a small white porcelain jar and evenly spread it on her face. He combed her hair like a cloud again, and wore the ruby jewelry sent by Desheng Lou yesterday afternoon.
When Cai Wei finally got her makeup and hair done, Pu Jia hurriedly served her to put on the dress that she had ordered to be made a few months earlier.
After Lu Tang was dressed up, he took a look at the two maids.
I saw that the little lady in the house looked delicate and beautiful like a flower under the clear sunlight. On his head, he wears a red gold and ruby plaque hairpin, wears a ruby gold earring pendant on his ears, and hangs a matching red gold ruby coil on his chest.
On his body, he wore a moon-white embroidered small fur jacket, plus silver rat shoulders, a Yang Fei-colored embroidered cotton skirt tied under his waist, and a small sheepskin boot with gold digging cloud red incense under his feet. The outer head is covered with a crane with a large red feather crepe and white fox skin, tied with a blue gold and shining green double-ring four-fold Ruyi silk, and covered with a snow cap.
Seeing the stunned appearance of the two maids, Lu Tang couldn't help but be interested, smiled and turned around, and asked, "Is it good to dress up like this?" ”
"It's so good-looking, but if that's not good, I don't know what else is good."
Cai Wei swallowed and muttered.
Pu Jia is not as eloquent as Cai Wei on weekdays, but at this time, she just nodded again and again, and the smile in her eyes was about to overflow.
The three of them talked and laughed out of the small courtyard and walked all the way to the main courtyard.
The snow in the garden is still very thick, and Lu Tang is very naughty today, picking a place with snow and walking on it with sheepskin boots and crunching. When I got to Mrs. Lu's side, the snow on the road was swept away, revealing a smooth bluestone slab. She was still a little unhappy that there was no snow to tread.
Mrs. Lu's room was also very warm, and as soon as Lu Tang opened the curtain, he was smoked by a warm breeze and couldn't help sneezing.
"My boy, it's so cold outside, why don't you bring a hand stove?" Seeing this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so she felt a little disgusted with Pu Jia Caiwei and the others.
Lu Tang hurriedly said: "It's only a few steps away, so I said I won't take that stove, it's troublesome." ”
As she spoke, she let Pu Jia serve the crane that had taken off her white fox skin.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu's expression was still a little displeased, she snuggled up to Mrs. Lu's side and said with a smile: "Mother, has the incense pavilion been arranged?" It's going to be used at the noon feast. ”
"I've already told someone to set it up, and it's pretty much the same now. But you little girls just want to have fun, and you still have to let the people do the chores, and you hurt yourself carefully. ”
Mrs. Lu touched Lu Tang's little head and looked at her with a little worry.
"My daughter knows, and my mother doesn't have to worry too much."
Lu Tang squeezed his eyes at Mrs. Lu and said playfully.
At noon, Huang Jin'er, Wang Qiaojing, Liu Xueniang, and Zhang Yu all came, all dressed in big hairy cranes and wrapped tightly.
Lu Tang had already sat in the incense pavilion and waited, with iron stoves, iron forks, iron wires and other objects next to him, and ordered the daughters-in-law in the kitchen to bring the charcoal fire over and roast it.
Seeing a few of them coming, he couldn't help but wave his hand and smile: "Come on, I've been waiting for a while." ”
Several little ladies saw the novelty, so they came over with a smile and sat around with Lu Tang to roast the fire.
"Well, a birthday gift for you."
As soon as Liu Xueniang sat down, she smiled and handed over an ebony box, Lu Tang opened it and saw that there was a carved hibiscus white hosta inside, which was excellent in color and water head.
Seeing this, Wang Qiaojing, Huang Jin'er, and Zhang Yu also handed over their gifts.
I saw that Wang Qiaojing gave Deshenglou's new jewelry, a pair of red gold shrimp bracelets. Huang Jin'er gave a pair of nesting dolls from the South Seas - that nesting doll was very precious, which made Lu Tang covet it for a long time, but who knew that it was sent out by Huang Jin'er for the first time today.
And Zhang Yu gave a gem-inlaid dagger, although it looked small and exquisite, it was very cute, but it was extremely white and sharp when pulled out.
"When I was in southern Yunnan, I got a small piece of cold iron by chance, and I used it to hit this dagger. However, I like to use a long sword on weekdays, so I never use it. This will be just right for you, which can be used for self-defense on weekdays, and can be used as an ornament. ”
She saw Lu Tang playing with the dagger with some novelty, so she explained with a smile.
When the other little ladies heard this, they looked at the dagger curiously. After a while, everyone went to play with the nesting dolls from Nanyang, laughing and making a lot of effort.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little hungry in their stomachs, so Lu Tang beckoned the cook to bring the venison skewered with wire.
"It's fresh today, so I'm going to make my own food." Wang Qiaojing took a string of venison in his hand and looked at it carefully in front of him, and said with a smile.
"No, it's the first time I've done this!" Huang Jin'er handed the soup woman in her hand to the maid behind her now, and said with a smile.
"I'll roast this venison."
When the women heard this, they couldn't help but look curiously, but it was exactly what Zhang Yu said.
"When I was in southern Yunnan in the past, I often followed the soldiers to roast some rabbits, roe deer, deer and other live animals to eat, so I also had some experience."
Zhang Yu looked at the curious and envious looks of several little girls, and smiled heartily.
She was also refreshed, and took a few skewers of venison and roasted them on the shelf. The cook girls next to them saw it, and handed over the sauce and other things with great eyes.
"Go and get someone to bring some rice wine." Lu Tang only felt that something seemed to be missing, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly commanded Cai Wei who was standing behind him.
Cai Wei responded without thinking, and went out of the pavilion to call the two little girls, Lu'er and Taoxiang, to come over, and asked the two of them to go to the mother who was in charge of the wine cellar to get some rice wine.
