Chapter Seventy-Two: The Banquet I
After the old lady's birthday, the big house cane killed a jade bead, sold a seven-seven, and then there was a big change in each room, and the maids who were old, those who were originally a little cautious did not wait for the opportunity to move, and they were all sent clean; Originally, I didn't want to stay in the Mu family to make some stable money, so I hurriedly looked for a small servant in the house. Put it away, sell it, sell it, match it, and it took more than half a month to stop it, and then it was naturally a few happy and a few worried. Then, the old lady was bedridden for more than a month, and after recovery, her body was not as good as before.
That day, Hongliu followed Wang's mother back to Hexiangyuan, and Huaxi never met her in the mansion again. Later, I heard that the old lady was in charge and gave it to the shopkeeper outside. After Hongliu left, there were no more people in Huaxi's courtyard.
In August, Huaxi finally finished embroidering the peony picture.
"One tael of cloves, one tael of peony skin, one tael of jasmansi, milling; Two coins of borneol, one penny of musk, ground separately. Huaxi finished reading the peony fragrance to Mu Xi, and said, "You all recognized the things just now." When the grinding is finished, I will personally adjust and make two pairs, one pair of incense bags, one pair of incense, and the work of incense will be handed over to you and Fangju. ”
Fang Ju crossed her fingers and read it silently, and lowered her head to take the note.
Mu Xi smiled and quipped: "I just learned a few words, and I write everything down on paper, as if people don't know that you are literate." ”
Fang Ju was not annoyed, nodded happily and said: "Yes, there are few literate people in the village, every time I want to write a letter, I have to go to the town to spend two big to find someone to write on my behalf, the girl taught me to read, and I can make a few dollars by setting up a stall at the entrance of the village when I go out in the future." ”
Mu Xi glanced at Fangju angrily, "It's in the eyes of the money." ”
Huaxi smiled: "It's not bad to lose money, at least our little Fangju is making money from labor openly, hehe"
Fang Ju pouted, "Girl, you are younger than a slave." ”
"What are you talking about?" Cui Ming came in, and saw that Huaxi was also in the ear room, and blessed her body, "It turns out that the girl is here, I said why is there no one in the house just now." ”
Huaxi asked, "Something?" ”
"Someone from Mrs. Gang's side said that Mrs. Chugu had a birthday and invited a drama troupe to let the girls sit in Wutou Lane."
Huaxi stroked her forehead, thinking of the chaos at the birthday banquet, she really didn't want to go.
"Are the girls going?"
"Mrs. Gu's side invites the ladies of each family, and there are no outsiders. However, the four girls are preparing to get married, and the five girls are grounded, and neither of them will go, according to the old lady's wishes, it should be you, the girl and the seventh girl going together. Mrs. Gu also said that she wanted you to come over. ”
Since Mu Xiangqing said it, let's go.
Huaxi nodded, "Got it." ”
At the beginning, Huaxi arrived at the second gate to take the car, and saw Mu Yunlin and Mu Yunning walking hand in hand, and after being slightly surprised, they went up to say hello.
"Hmm", Yun Lin glanced at Huaxi and got into the car in front of her. Yun Ning greeted Hua Xi and followed Yun Lin into the same car.
"Chunying, let's go" Huaxi smiled slightly, thinking that Yun Lin would sit alone, but she didn't expect to meet the enemy two days ago. Suddenly making out today? It's cheaper for her, one car per person.
When he arrived at Wutou Lane, Mu Xiangqing's house was already full of people. Most of Huaxi didn't know it, only An Yongbo's wife Cheng and her two daughters Zong Wanlan, Zong Youlan, and Mrs. Yu.
After saluting everyone, Mu Xiangqing introduced Huaxi and others to those present. Needless to say, the ladies of each family pulled Yun Lin and Yun Ning to praise them, and took their belongings as a meeting gift. Although Huaxi is the child of a distant relative, after all, he is also a member of the Mu family, and he has to get an extra share.
Mu Xiangqing saw that there were many people in the house, and the juniors were uncomfortable, so he asked the maid to lead Yun Lin and the three of them and the sisters of the Zong family to rest in the next room.
As soon as she changed the house, Yun Ning changed as if she was a person, and pulled Wanlan with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, I see, well, Sister Wanlan is getting better and better." ”
Wanlan glanced at Yun Ning, "Seventh Sister is still so poor. Why didn't I see the fourth and fifth sisters today? ”
"Hmm-" Yun Ning paused, "The fourth sister is preparing for marriage, and the fifth sister is not in good health, so she stays in the house to rest." ”
Hearing that Yun Yi was preparing to get married, Wanlan said enviously: "The fourth sister is so blessed. You're going to do something in the moon, right? ”
Yun Ning was also jealous and envious, and responded sourly, "Yes".
Youlan, who was sitting next to her, said: "I invited you to sit at home during the Qixi Festival, but I couldn't come, and Sister Youlan and I were so disappointed." This time, I thought I could see it, but the fourth sister couldn't come, but I didn't expect the fifth sister to come. It doesn't matter what the fifth sister's body is, right? ”
Yun Ning hooked the corners of her lips, "It's okay, she's all old problems." ”
Wanlan asked Yun Lin again: "Sister seems to have been cleared less than last time?" ”
Yun Lin's face was not good, she nodded, and replied lightly, "I was sick for a few days ago." ”
As soon as the words came out, Wanlan remembered that Yun Lin did not participate in the draft, regretted that her mouth was too fast, and hurriedly said: "My sister used to be full of extravagance, but now she is thin, but she has a little more dusty atmosphere, and it is more like painting a fairy." ”
Yun Lin's face looked a little better, "My sister said with a smile. ”
Seeing that her face softened, Wanlan hurriedly changed the subject, "Sister, I heard that His Royal Highness King Ping, King Chengjun and King Luoxi all went to the Mu family some time ago, but is it true?" ”
Yun Lin nodded.
Youlan blinked and asked curiously, "I heard Sister Qi say that His Royal Highness King Ping was born handsome and easy-going...... Sisters, can you see the two highnesses and the world? ”
Yun Lin and Yun Ning's faces changed suddenly, not to mention that it was okay, both of them remembered that day after a lot of twists and turns but fell short, and their hearts became more and more annoyed to see Yun Xin who saw King Ping.
Yun Lin heard Youlan mention Qi Sanniang, and suddenly smiled and said: "Where can the family members of the Inner Mansion see the noble golden face, but it is the fifth sister and His Royal Highness the King of Peace who met in Shutong Garden." ”
Yun Ning rolled her eyes, and then echoed: "Yes." King Ping also listened to the fifth sister play the piano for a while. If the fifth sister is here today, you can ask her. ”
Huaxi frowned slightly when she heard this, Sister Qi? It can't be the Qi Sanniang who is suspected of being Princess Zhunping mentioned by Yun Ning last time, right? Looking up, I glanced at Youlan and Wanlan glanced at each other, with a strange expression, and said in her heart, Yun Lin really didn't forget to take the opportunity to smear Yun Xin, and Yun Ning also fell into the ground, these two people have the same hatred, but it is always bad for the Mu family to spread this matter.
"Ahem-" Huaxi coughed twice, really afraid that these two would make a mess if they continued to talk about it.
"Listening to the piano is far away, I'm afraid that the fifth sister may not be able to see it clearly." Huaxi muttered, and was met with the white eyes of Yun Lin and Yun Ning.
Huaxi didn't see it, and whispered: "The eldest lady asked the fifth sister to talk back to the old lady like this......"
Hearing Huaxi mention the old lady, Yun Lin and Yun Ning hurriedly withdrew their gazes, but the old lady had warned that this matter should not be mentioned again.
"What are you talking about?" The curtain opened, and Mrs. Jade Shi Shiran walked in.
Mrs. Yu wore a bodyworthy pomegranate red embroidered white plum silk top, wrapped in a beautiful figure, with a moon white sprinkled brown skirt below, her hair was combed into a hibiscus bun, pinned with a red treasure lotus flower golden hairpin, and a pair of red jade earrings were worn on her earlobes.
Wanlan got up to greet her, took her hand and sat on the top, "Why did Sister Yu come over?" ”
Madame Yu had a smile like a spring breeze on the corner of her lips, "Madame over there chatting, I'm not very interested, just come over and see what you little sisters are doing?" ”
Because there was King Chengjun among the people who went to Mufu last time, several people tacitly didn't say anything.
Wanlan took the lead, "The fourth sister and the fifth sister didn't come today, and Youlan and I asked the sisters." I haven't seen you for more than half a year, it's weird. ”
"A few of you have a good relationship" Mrs. Yu pursed her lips and smiled, turning her head to look at Huaxi, "Sister Huaxi, I have invited you to the palace several times to sit down, but it didn't work, I told the prince of the county when I came today, I don't know if I can meet, I didn't expect to really tell me." ”
Huaxi hurriedly got up and apologized: "Mrs. Lao Yu is worried. Some time ago, Huaxi was busy preparing embroidered screens and incense products for King Ping's birthday, and after a few days, he suffered from some wind and cold, and he couldn't visit the house.
"Don't be polite to me. You and I are destined, you don't call Mrs. Mo anymore, and you call me sister like Wanlan. ”
In the face of Mrs. Jade's enthusiasm, Huaxi couldn't refuse, so she had to call "Sister Jade".
Madam Yu suddenly smiled like a flower, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?" ”
"Sister Xie Yu cares. It's been a big deal."
Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "You just talked about King Ping's birthday, and I was thinking about something. Some time ago, I went to the palace to meet the mothers of the palaces, and I saw the incense products of Mufujin at the virtuous concubine Niangniang. At that time, Concubine Xian Niangniang also praised the incense made by your Mufu. Niangniang didn't know that the incense was made by you, so I mentioned you to Niangniang. ”
Huaxi was stunned for a moment, and then felt Yun Lin's cold swishing gaze shoot over, and smiled helplessly, "It's just a small skill." Concubine Xian praised it falsely. ”
"Sister Huaxi is too modest. Concubine Xian is famous in the palace for loving incense, and when you look at the incense you make, you will know whether it is good or bad. If she can say yes, it's naturally top-notch. I still remember that there was a smile orchid in it, saying that it could also be used to make wine? I don't know how it's made? ”
As soon as Mrs. Yu finished asking, she paused, and without waiting for Huaxi to speak, she said, "Look at me, each line has its own rules." I forgot for a moment that this incense recipe is the secret recipe of each family, and it is really rude to ask you so rashly. ”
Huaxi hurriedly smiled and responded: "What did Sister Yu say?" My sister and the king of the county have similar interests, if you want to ask, Huaxi should tell you. ”
"Then I'll thank my sister first."
