Chapter 8 Another Coming of the Wang Family
Qinglian came out of Rongxi Hall, did not return to her own residence, and went through the west corridor from the corner gate to Lan Yuexuan in the south of the house.
Entering the house, the eldest maid who was waiting outside helped Qinglian untie her cloak, "Bicao, where is my aunt?" ”
Bicao replied: "In embroidery." The girl will sit in the room, and the slave will make you tea. ”
"Well, let's get a cup of dragon group, I just ate a few more bites of snacks in the third sister's house, and drink a cup to eliminate food." Qinglian sat on the stool and asked Cuizhu to help change the soft-soled cloth shoes worn in the double room, and then opened the curtain and entered the room, "Auntie, there have been visitors to the house in the past two days." Aren't you grounded, why should you go out for a walk, don't hide in the house and embroider all day? ”
Under the east window of the room, there is a half-height embroidery frame, a woman wearing a blue narrow-sleeved satin jacket sits in front of the embroidery frame, pinching the wool needle in the light silk silk needle and flying the needle, with the wrist turning slowly, the bush of spring flowers on the woman's sleeve is gently swaying in a piece of sunshine, quietly revealing the tender yellow and pleasing color in the dark winter, silently pouring out the breath of spring.
Listening to Qinglian's words, the woman did not respond, until a peony was completed and the thread was closed, she rubbed her wrist, looked up at Qinglian, a pair of beautiful eyes and soft light flowed, looking at Qinglian, and her lips lightly said: "Embroidery has the benefits of embroidery, it can calm the mind, it seems tedious and time-consuming, when you are really immersed in it, you will find that there is a reason in this needlework technique." You girl looks calm on her face, but she is still a little impetuous. ”
If Qing Dai was present at this time, she would be surprised that her father's favorite concubine Aunt Liu was not as charming and beautiful as she imagined, but a soft and graceful woman, not only with her own elegant and delicate fragrance of paper and ink between her eyebrows and eyes, but also her temperament was more like the misty and light of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. After coming to Qingdai and seeing a real person, she will understand the origin of the name of Qinglian.
"My daughter didn't mean it last time, it's obviously Mrs. herself......" Swept by Aunt Liu's seemingly calm gaze, Qinglian swallowed back the words that came out of her mouth, and muttered: "My daughter is not worried that my aunt will be wronged. ”
"What grievances can you suffer? It's just a little bit of a triviality. I have my own sense of proportion, you should think more about how to please your father is the right thing......" Aunt Liu got up and shook her hands, took the balsam paste from the maid's hand, spread it and applied it evenly on her hand, and her delicate and gentle movements were extremely caring. And her pair of soft wattles are also very beautiful, the ten fingers are as slender as jade carvings, white and delicate, and they are very well maintained at a glance.
Qinglian looked at Aunt Liu's hands from the side, and said with a smile: "Auntie's hands are so beautiful, I can't see enough of them." ”
"Young poor mouth, are you afraid that I will teach you a lesson and deliberately interrupt?" Aunt Liu said angrily, but a faint smile flashed in her eyes, "Did you get up early and go to Rongxi Hall?" ”
Qinglian nodded, and then told Aunt Liu about the events before and after going to Rongxi Hall today. Aunt Liu listened quietly, without saying a word, only occasionally holding the Taiping car and rolling twice on the back of her hand, until Qinglian finished speaking, she said: "It's just that you expected that the third girl would not dare to ask for someone, or did it happen because of the blockage for Jiyaju?" ”
Aunt Liu's voice was very calm, but Qinglian was a little scared, could it be that she did something wrong today? She subconsciously shrunk her neck, not daring to respond.
"It's not a big deal for my sister to care about her sister-in-law, but it's just that you shouldn't say it. You still mentioned it in front of Yinhong, and you were quick for a while, but you fell into the hands of people in vain. ”
Aunt Liu didn't mention it, this mention, Qinglian also felt that today's things were not done properly, this matter should be brought up by Qingdai herself, and she secretly reflected on it at the moment.
"It's already like this, you don't care about it anymore, stay in my room for a few days. In the future, talk less about things and watch more diligently, don't be so careful. Aunt Liu glanced at her daughter who bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "Embroidery can just sharpen your temperament, this time Qingyang will practice female red more carefully." You're not too young......"
"Yes." Qinglian saw that Aunt Liu did not blame more, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered again: "Auntie, the eldest sister specially called me to Rongxi Hall today, I am afraid that I will get a letter to go over on purpose, and when I saw the fourth young master of the Wang family, I asked about the eldest young master of the Wang family. Look at this ......"
Aunt Liu smiled, "It's just a pity that the woman is not staying, it's just ......a pity."
Qinglian sat behind Aunt Liu and rubbed her shoulders, "What is a pity? ”
"When your father came over last night, he said that in addition to seeing the third girl, the other thing is for the eldest young master of the Wang family."
Qinglian's eyes suddenly became interested, and she hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"The eldest young master of the Wang family is sixteen this year, studying under Fan Zengming in Liulin, Fan Zengming is a well-known erudite man in the world, and he can accept him as an apprentice. Fan Zengming was exceptionally promoted by the emperor to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy last year, although the rank is not high, but it is the choice of the noble in the future, and he is expected to enter the cabinet. With Lord Wang and Master Fan here, the young master of the Wang family has a good career prospect. Who doesn't want such a son-in-law? It's a pity that the eldest girl of our family is unlucky, and the Wang family came this time not only to see the third girl, but also for the family affairs of the eldest young master of the Wang family. Today, Mrs. Wang entrusted the old lady and asked Mrs. Lao Zhongyi to be a matchmaker. The eldest young master of the Wang family is about to get married, the second daughter of Yongningbo in Hexi. Aunt Liu waved her hand and motioned for Qinglian to stop, "But even if there is no such thing, because the first three girls are sick...... I'm afraid that the big girl has a heart, but she won't be able to do it. ”
As soon as Qinglian heard that Qingqiang had no chance, she was secretly happy in her heart, and said: "According to the temperament of the eldest sister, I'm afraid that there will be trouble again." ”
Aunt Liu picked up the Sanqing tea pot and shook it lightly, "The eldest girl has her own lady there, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
Qinglian no longer mentioned Qingqiang, but walked to the east window and looked at the silk silk on the stretcher, on which a tortoiseshell cat shuttled through the peony flowers to chase the dancing butterflies, the cat's hair was soft and fluffy, delicate, lifelike, which showed the embroiderer's extraordinary embroidery.
Qinglian stroked the cat with her fingertips and sighed lightly: "Auntie, this cat fluttering butterfly is so vividly embroidered, it's a pity to give it to Mrs. Li as a birthday gift." ”
"What's the pity, it's just an embroidery."
Aunt Liu's face was indifferent, but Qinglian was angry, "You spent time and effort to embroider, and you still have the name of your wife, in the end, you didn't get any benefits, why are you bothering?" ”
"Sometimes, not fighting is fighting. The days are still long, and you will slowly appreciate the wonders......" Aunt Liu's lips raised a faint and mysterious smile, "A hundred flowers compete for butterflies, why do you want to be a beautiful flower instead of a butterfly cat?" ”
