Chapter 32 For Whom to Groom and Whom to Busy
Luo Yan leaned on the couch with a sad face, and once again fell into a deep contempt for herself: she knew that she was sometimes unreliable, but she didn't expect it to be unreliable to this point - when Du Yuchen said the word "go to the banquet", and it was a dinner party specially for the stage, she actually blurted out a question: "Oops! What should I wear? ”
Du Yuchen's expression at that time was as if he had never known her...... Well, Luo Yan also reacted, and it was indeed a bit cheesy to ask like this. But Du Erlang, you are also a person who has been married for three years and is about to have children, don't you know that for women, what clothes should be worn at the banquet is a big matter of life and death? Do you need to be weird like this?
Then, something even weirder happened: Du Yuchen was stunned for a while, his face turned red slowly, and finally said in a panic, "You should prepare well" and ran away - as if she Murong Luoyan was not asking about getting dressed, but about taking off clothes!
Murong Luoyan's eyes widened, looking at the dzi and Xiao Meng in the room with the most innocent expression she could do, who knew that the dzi and Xiao Meng were also embarrassed, and Xiao Meng also muttered: "Princess, what are you asking him to do with this?" ”
How? Can't you ask? Luo Yan's eyes widened in surprise this time. Tianzhu was still kind-hearted, and when he saw her for a while, he whispered: "The princess may have been negligent, and there is such a question as what clothes to wear...... This one...... Well...... Generally, only the bride does not know her aunt's preferences, so she will ask Lang Jun. ”
Luo Yan almost fell out of her chair suddenly! Isn't it "I don't know how to eat my aunt, and I will send my sister-in-law to taste it first", why is there still this one? Could it be that what kind of clothes to wear, in this era, is actually the most intimate and intimate question, just like the sentence "the depth of the thrush is not in time"?
When she woke up, she could only look at the sky with tears in her eyes, speechless: This is the generation gap! This is the cultural generation gap that is 1,000 years wide! And she, apparently, tragically smashed into the ditch. Since she was reborn, she has always been careful and everywhere, and strictly studied Lin Daiyu's safety first spirit of "refusing to say a word and taking one more step", but this is only a little, a little relaxed, and she was embarrassed and thrown to her grandmother's house. Du Erlang, that poor baby, was molested like this......
Luo Yan felt sorry for herself for a quarter of an hour before she suddenly remembered another question: What Du Yuchen just said seemed to be Xiangguofu! That's right, it's Xiangguofu! How did Xiangguofu think of a banquet, what kind of conspiracy?
Thinking of this, Luo Yan couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately asked Xiao Meng to invite Xue Ming to come in, and told her about the dinner, but saw Xue Ming smile and said: "The princess is too worried, General Tantai has just sent someone over, saying that he has received a post from Xiangguofu, because he thinks that he must invite you, so let me tell you, the princess can rest assured that she will go to the banquet, and there is no need to make any preparations." ”
"That's it......" Luo Yan only felt sweet in her heart, but when she silently recited the last sentence "You don't need to make any preparations", she unexpectedly remembered Du Yuchen's "You prepare well", and couldn't help but feel embarrassed again.
Early the next morning, because Tianzhu said that if the rules of Dali are to go to the dinner party, it must be Shen Shi's departure, thinking that he can finally go out, thinking that he can see the platform at night, Luo Yan came together and was excited, fragrant soup bath, balm SPA, balsam compress, and every hair was packed up fragrantly, so he combed his hair, put on makeup, and took out the selected clothes and jewelry to cover a bed and a place.
In the mirror is a beautiful woman who looks familiar and strange, slender and combed a high Uighur bun, with a peach-shaped gold crown of tired silk and double phoenixes pressed on the bun, and a big red Shu brocade lapel with a real red phoenix wearing a flower phoenix with tight arrow sleeves, tied with a narrow white rhino leather inlaid with agate leather belt, and hung seven silver scimitars with a length of one finger. Underneath are fine-grained pleated trousers with gold brocade trim on a white background, and the cuffs are tucked into a pair of small white sheepskin boots with a cloud head pattern. The natural snow-skinned red lips are only lightly covered with a layer of fat powder, and a few thin daisy flowers are pasted on the corner of the right eye.
Luo Yan only felt that she had never dressed so much like a rich man, but looking at the bright and tall figure in the mirror, she had to admit that such luxurious and dazzling clothes were worn on her, but she didn't feel swaggering, she only felt that she was high-this is the so-called domineering spirit?
Xiao Meng clapped his hands and laughed: "The princess should have dressed up like this a long time ago!" This Dali will see who can overshadow you! Tianzhu also smiled: "This set of clothes is really called a princess, that Huadian can still be pasted like this, it's so beautiful!" Luo Yan went to see Qingqing, only to see her eyes shining, and nodded vigorously: "Good-looking!" ”
Only Li's mother is the most exaggerated - she was pulled to Jinling by the platform day and night in a carriage, after all, she was old, and when she saw Luo Yan's heart, she immediately couldn't hold it, and was pressed on the bed by Luo Yan for two or three days, and only today she was busy choosing clothes - looking at the dressed Luo Yan, her eyes were wet first, and she nodded.
Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief, sat down, saw that there was still more than half an hour left, and hurriedly said: "The three of you go and dress up well, and then urge Xue Ming and Hu Ying to change their clothes and go with me." Xiao Meng jumped out with a command, and Tianzhu was also busy following behind, but Qingqing looked like "I don't care what I wear", and was kicked out by Luo Yan. asked Li's mother to change her clothes, but Li's mother shook her head and refused: "It's all gone, who will look at the house?" ”
Luo Yan smiled and pointed outside: "Twenty people is not enough to see the house?" "Mother Li still doesn't go, Luo Yan has no choice but to let her.
When I set off, I saw that the dzi were wearing a moon-white plain jacket, and the pine, bamboo, and plum silk skirt that had rained through the azure, only the color of the outer gown was different, Xiaomeng was goose yellow, Qingqing was the color of the lake, and the dzi was wearing silver gray, a color of plain plain silk, and only the collar was embroidered with a fine sesame pattern, which looked delicate and elegant. Xue Ming and Hu Ying both wore stone blue arrow sleeves and dark color fine-grained trousers, and they were heroic.
Five people hugged Luo Yan to the upper room, only to see Feishuang and Haochen were already waiting in the hall, Haochen came over to salute first, and then looked Luo Yan up and down a few times, his eyes were a little surprised. Feishuang also deliberately dressed up today, wearing a light pink rose jacquard cloud brocade gown, a dark blue six-jacquard pleated skirt, lined with a pink face. When I saw Luo Yan, I couldn't help but be stunned. In the more than 20 days that Du Yuchen was recuperating in Luoyun Courtyard, the relationship between Luo Yan and Feishuang had improved greatly, although it was not very intimate, but he was already able to laugh and laugh happily, so he smiled first: "Good Xiuya dress, Feishuang looks like a big girl." ”
Feishuang looked at her clothes, glanced at Luo Yan again, and her face was a little depressed. Luo Yan knew that the little girl was probably careful, but now it was not as good as in the past, and she Murong Luoyan was also the master of someone to support her, so she only smiled back and sat down with a salute to Haochen, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and thinking wildly by herself.
After a while, Mrs. Du dressed up, and when she saw Luo Yan at a glance, she was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Luo Yan looks good dressed like this." Luo Yan also replied with a smile: "You can't lose face when you go out as a guest." Du Feishuang snorted, went up and took Mrs. Du's hand and said, "Mother, I want to have a car with you today." ”
Mrs. Du smiled and patted her hand, and walked out with the three of them, but saw that several carriages were already parked on the second gate, and Du Yuchen, who was dressed in a cyan collar robe, was already waiting by the side of the car. Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a little weak when she met this "victim" who was harassed by her hooligan's words, and lowered her head and quietly hid behind Mrs. Du, but she got closer and closer, but there was nothing to hide.
Mrs. Du said: "I sat in one car with Feishuang, Erlang and Luo Yan in one car, Haochen took one car by himself, and the four girls sat in the three cars behind." Luo Yan felt a tightness on the top of her head, but she heard Du Yuchen say lightly: "I'm riding a horse." Haochen immediately shouted to ride a horse. In the end, it was Mrs. Du and Feishuang who sat in the first car, Luo Yan who was served by the dzi and sat in the second car, and the girls were crowded in the carriage behind in threes and fours, but Xue Ming and Hu Ying also rode horses and followed Luo Yan's car. Luo Yan was shocked to realize that there was one more girl she brought than Mrs. Du, and then comforted herself: "Two of them are guards, they can't be counted." ”
Du Yuchen saw Luo Yan in a flame-like red beard from a distance, with a snow-white face, black eyes, and bright and unbelievable, looking left and right, so unhappy, but he didn't expect to see him, but he immediately twisted his hands and feet and hid behind - where can he hide? couldn't help but be angry and funny, thinking of her sentence "What clothes should I wear?" "My heart is a little sweet and sour, I thought about it all night yesterday, why did Min'er do this? What does Luo Yan think? Why did you just finish talking about "forgetting each other", but then ask yourself that question? Could it be that although she wants to go back to Dayan, she still has some affection for me in her heart?
He rode a horse and followed Mrs. Du's car, but his ears couldn't help but pay attention to the movement of the car behind him, and he only felt that there were one or two soft laughter from time to time, guessing that she must be busy looking at the scenery on the side of the road, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly when she thought of Luo Yan's enthusiastic appearance of doing anything.
Du Mansion is built at the foot of the stone mountain, only six or seven miles to the west, is Mochou Lake, all the way through, are the most prosperous section of Jinling, pedestrians are weaving, shops are lined up, the wide stone road is enough to make the two teams of carriages parallel.
Luo Yan picked up the curtain of the car window and looked out, only to feel that her eyes were not enough, and sighed for a while: This Dali has renovated Jinling into a prosperous city; Surprised for a while: among the pedestrians on the road, women are not uncommon, and most of them do not wear bibs and cone hats and other Laoshizi, which shows that the folk customs of this era are much more open than the Song Dynasty in the same period - Dali is originally in Yunnan, and is less affected by etiquette. As for the strict rules of the Du Mansion, most of them are because they are a family of poets and scholars.
After a while, the carriage and horses slowly stopped, but Hu Ying was heard quietly laughing: "Isn't that General Lantai's men and horses?" He really counted the hours. ”
