Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Mirror

In the center of the back garden of Xie Mansion there is a Bibo Lake, the east of the lake is the lotus Taiye Pond, and the west of the lake is the Linxian Yuyao Pond. There are twin water pavilions built on the lotus pond, and there is a Linxian jade pavilion on the side of the Yao pond.

When Mo Li and the others passed with the maids of the Xie Mansion, the old lady Xie and the grandmothers in the Xie Mansion and the noble ladies who came to the banquet today were already seated in the Yuque Pavilion. When Mo Li stepped on the steps of the Jade Que Pavilion, he raised his eyes and swept in, only to see that the person sitting on the main seat inside was not Mrs. Xie, but a woman of about fifty, wearing a purple and dark flower robe, and her whole body was full of grace. Old Mrs. Xie only sat on her right hand, and although the rest of the grandmothers of the Xie Mansion and the noble ladies outside the Mansion were also sitting around, it was obvious that everyone was a little cautious on their faces. Mo Li was slightly surprised, she didn't recognize the woman on the main seat, but looking at the posture of the stars and the moon, she knew that the other party's status must be extremely noble, and she was a little more careful in her heart.

The girls who entered the pavilion also noticed a little difference, so they were still talking and laughing along the way, but at this moment they all closed their mouths, gathered their minds, carefully lifted their steps, and gently stepped up the steps. Even Zhou Lingling also restrained the faint anger on her face, quietly glared at Xue Lin, and then lowered her face slightly, and stepped forward two steps faster.

"It's okay to wait for you, look at all of them are so delicate and bright, what treasures I have here are eclipsed!" As soon as Mo Li and the others walked into the pavilion, before they could look at the furnishings inside, Grandma Xie San stood up from her seat with a smile and greeted her, and walked a few steps beside them and the others, and then showed a meaningful smile, and then said, "Just now the ladies made an interesting suggestion, this year's treasures will be evaluated by the girls, if anyone can judge the most precious one among these things, and come out on top, in addition to my gift, there will be unexpected joy." ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Xue Lin and Zhou Lingling and others, even the girls in Xie Mansion were surprised. In previous years, they were only watching, and occasionally saying a word or two was just to join in the fun, who would have thought that this year it would be upside down.

Mo Li was not surprised in her heart, she had already known that the rules of Grandma Xie's game had been changed from this year, but now she was more concerned about who was sitting on the main seat in this pavilion, and even Old Lady Xie gave up her seat to this woman!

She didn't dare to look more, but she just glanced away, and saw that Mrs. Mo was also sitting in this pavilion, three seats away from Mrs. Xie, and there were also two elderly old ladies sitting next to her. Seeing that the complexion on her grandmother's face was not bad, and she was talking and laughing with the people next to her, and she would still look at herself, Mo Li smiled there.

After a while, Grandma Xie San led the more than ten girls to the center of the pavilion, only to see that there was a long case with vermilion lacquer rosewood warped edges, and a whole snow-white velvet blanket was spread on the table, and five things had been placed on the blanket. They are a carved jade plate, a gilt wine jug with beads, a woven gold brocade, a mercury mirror with a full moon, and a slightly ordinary fan, which I think are the treasures to be evaluated today.

The more than ten girls who went to the banquet today really had different looks on their faces at this time, although they were all from good backgrounds, but not everyone had the ability to appreciate treasures or eyesight. Even a few girls in Xie Mansion couldn't help but feel a little more solemn on their faces, and everyone was careful if they said something wrong, provoked a joke, and embarrassment in public.

Mo Li glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, and then glanced at Xue Lin, but saw that Xue Lin not only did not have such a cautious look on his face, but also showed a trace of expectation in his eyes, and he kept staring at the mirror on the case.

"Yo, I said girls, why are they so serious?" Grandma Xie San glanced at them, and then smiled, "There is no right or wrong in this original, it's just a game for everyone to have some fun." ”

"Since the third aunt said that there is no right or wrong, who will designate this head?" A girl from Xie Mansion asked, this is also something that everyone wants to know.

"Of course it's Mrs. Ji, one of these things today is Mrs. Ji's private belongings. In addition to my gift, the final winner was also given by Mrs. Ji. Grandma Xie San smiled at the main seat as she spoke, and then said, "Today, I also borrowed the light of my wife, and this little birthday banquet can do such tricks." ”

Surname Ji? Mo Li was slightly stunned, the surname Ji is a big surname in this part of Yongzhou, and there are countless nobles from the Ji family. She couldn't help but glance at the main seat again, and saw that the noble lady on the seat was dignified, her clothes were not too gorgeous, and the jewels and jade in her hair were a little simple. There are too many relatives of the Xie family, and she doesn't know all of them, but when she was about to retract her gaze, Mo Li suddenly noticed that Mrs. Ji's skirt was faintly covered with phoenix patterns, and the material of the skirt, if she was not mistaken, was actually a beautiful satin!

Beauty satin is made of silkworm farmers who can spit out silk with different colors, and then the brocade skillful hands weave exquisite patterns directly on the loom according to the color of the silk. Such silk, in addition to the rarity of silk, a clever woman can only weave half a horse a year at most, which is a royal thing, and the general noble family can neither afford nor dare to use it.

Mo Li suddenly remembered that in the flower hall before, Grandma Xie San mentioned that Mrs. Xie was receiving the grandmother from the palace, and she was shocked, could it be that it was Concubine Ji and Grandma Xie San's aunt! This...... If she is really a distinguished guest of the Xie Mansion, does she want to leave an impression in the eyes of the other party today? At the same time, it can be regarded as a friendship with Xie San's grandmother in advance, and today's family affairs are resolved, although it has fulfilled her, but her family is not sure when she will need Xie Fu's help in the future.

When she was pondering, the evaluation of the long case had already begun, and Grandma Xie San first asked everyone to come over and see it for a while, and then after they sat down, they were held by the maid and sent over, and by the way, I also asked the ladies to take a look.

The long case covered with a velvet blanket is not small, enough for more than a dozen girls to come forward to watch, Xue Lin followed closely beside Mo Li at this time, after the two approached the long case, Xue Lin first picked up the mercury mirror with a full moon and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Mo Li and said: "Cousin, look at it, this mirror is so exquisite, and it is inlaid with a night pearl!?" ”

Mo Li glanced at Xue Lin, then took the mirror in her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then was stunned. This seems to be Mrs. Xie's dowry back then, I had heard Grandma Xie say before that this mirror was still given to Mrs. Xie by the mother in the palace, and it was a wedding gift, so it was specially engraved with the words "Flower and Full Moon". Later, after Grandma Xie San got married, Mrs. Xie gave this mirror to Grandma Xie San, and distant memories came to mind, and Mo Li seemed to be a little distracted.

At this time, there were a lot of girls around, everyone took care of their manners, and they didn't scramble to see, whoever held it in their hands, other people just stood aside politely and looked at it carefully, so at this time, Mo Li and Xue Lin were surrounded by a lot of people.

Xue Lin's feet were moving towards Mo Li little by little, Mo Li's hand holding the mirror had already left the table, as long as he missed, the mirror would definitely fall to the ground. There are a lot of people around her right now, she only needs to step on Mo Li's skirt, accidentally push the person next to her, and then retreat by herself, and things will definitely succeed!

Plop, plop, plop...... In front of everyone's eyes, Xue Lin was still very nervous, but she still kept a smile on her face, and nothing could stop the crazy jealousy in her heart.

It is difficult to break the mirror, and it is such a meaningful mirror, and on an occasion like today, Mo Li, you don't want to marry into Xie Mansion!

Xue Lin had already raised her feet slightly, but at this moment, Mo Li suddenly handed the mirror in her hand to Zhou Lingling next to her, and then stepped back. Xue Lin was startled, hurriedly withdrew her feet, but accidentally stepped on her skirt, and then saw her leaning forward, everyone around was shocked, and Zhou Lingling was even more frightened, but before she could open her mouth, she was hit by Xue Lin, and even Xu Qin'e next to her was also affected!

The mercury mirror is the clearest, but it is the most unavoidable.

When the shattering sound sounded, everyone in the pavilion was stunned, Xue Lin was stupid, Xu Qin'e was stunned, Zhou Lingling's face was blue and red, she didn't know the value of this mirror, it was just a mirror with treasures, she could afford to accompany it, but she couldn't afford to lose this face today!

From beginning to end, it had nothing to do with Mo Li, but things went unexpectedly smoothly, and Xue Lin's performance made her very satisfied.

"This-" Grandma Xie San stood up from her seat all of a sudden, but she didn't know what to say, although she was a birthday star today, all this was actually to cheer up Concubine Ji.

Zhou Lingling's chest fell together, staring at Xue Lin, her face changed a few times, and her lips trembled. Xue Lin's face slowly turned white at this time, but her brain was also a little dazed, things were completely unexpected by her, and she didn't know how to deal with such a situation. The girls around couldn't help but retreat, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Hehe, it's okay, look at these children are frightened, let the maid help them out and tidy up a little." Concubine Ji suddenly spoke, and as she spoke, she looked at Grandma Xie San, "Don't take it to heart, there are always times when children are not careful." ”

A palace maid beside Concubine Ji is the Xu family, so Xu Qin'e and Concubine Ji have seen it. Grandma Xie San rolled her eyes, and immediately cleaned up her mood and smiled: "I think the girls drank a few more drinks in the hall just now, and their hands slipped, so it really shouldn't be mine, I should have invited the girls to sit first." Okay, okay, it's okay, Mother Ann will take the three girls out to clean up first. ”

After Xue Lin and Zhou Lingling came out of the Yuque Pavilion with the mother-in-law, Mo Li looked further away, and vaguely saw a group of sons and brothers walking over the pond, including Han Sidao. However, they seemed to stop as soon as they reached the shore of the pool, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but then Mo Li noticed that Xue Lin's footsteps were stagnant, and his face also looked towards Han Sidao. Zhou Lingling didn't pay attention to it, at this time, her eyes kept staring at Xue Lin, as if she couldn't wait to stare at Xue Lin directly!

Here, the appreciation party has started again, and over there, Xue Lin's second show is about to be staged.

After Mo Li sat down with the rest of the girls, she raised her hand and gently stroked the edge of her clothes, her slender and graceful fingers beating slightly on the pattern, as if she was secretly pulling a marionette, luxurious and silent.
