Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "Didn't you go to the banquet?" Why does it sound like you're going to fight? ”

"I didn't want to go, Zhou Yan'er had to come and invite. She thought I didn't know what she was thinking! Wei Yunying muttered softly.

"What did she think?" Zheng Shi was also curious: "In the last few times, when you received an invitation from the Zhou family, you either shirked something or excused yourself to be sick, if it wasn't for Mrs. Zhou personally to invite you yesterday, you invited Ah Ke to accompany you, and you were not happy to go." Before dawn this morning, you pulled me to pick out clothes and jewelry for you. ”

Wei Yunying pursed her lips when she heard this, glanced at Zheng and then at Shen Yue, and finally hesitated and said to Sanniang: "Sister Ke, come over for a moment." As he spoke, he picked up Sanniang and walked to the right room.

Leaving Zheng Shi helplessly shook his head and smiled: "This kid." ”

Sanniang smiled and let Wei Yunying pull it, there was no one in the right room, Wei Yunying was silent for a while as if she was thinking about what to say, and Sanniang waited patiently.

"Sister Ke, why do you like to take me as a companion every time you are Zhou Yan'er?" Wei Yunying said softly.

Sanniang tilted her head and asked, "Why?" Isn't it because you have a good relationship? ”

Wei Yunying shook her head, bit her lip and said, "I originally thought the same way, because I don't like to socialize with people on weekdays, and I don't have many friends, I have always regarded Zhou Yan'er as my good sister." But that time I heard her tell her maid that she liked to be her companion because she wanted me to be her companion. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yunying's face darkened.

"She said that I didn't have a good face, I didn't look good, and I didn't know how to dress, and when I stood next to her, people would pay more attention to her beauty. This time she insisted that I go to the cruise banquet, and yesterday Mrs. Zhou said that she wanted me to stay with her today. ”

Sanniang was speechless when she heard this, the little girl in this era has a lot of eyes. Thinking of Liu's pickiness about Shen Yue's clothes today, I couldn't help but sigh once that my grandmother was prescient in her old age, and she might have come over like this when she was young!

Wei Yunying looked up at Sanniang and said, "Third sister." You help me, don't let me lose face today, okay. ”

Sanniang looked at Wei Yunying's trusting eyes, and her heart couldn't help but soften. nodded, winked and smiled: "Don't worry." Sister, I will definitely let your limelight overshadow that Zhou Yan'er today. ”

Wei Yunying pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and happily pulled Sanniang out of the right room.

"Sister Ke, you can help me pick out the clothes first, these are all newly made, and they haven't been put on yet, and the materials are all fashionable tricks sent by the princess." Wei Yunying pointed to a few colorful clothes.

Sanniang saw that Zheng was talking to Shen Yue'e over there, and Yingge was waiting on the side. nodded at Wei Yunying and helped her pick up her clothes.

"Sister Ke, how is this green aquatic weed?" Wei Yunying asked, pointing to one of them.

Sanniang compared it to Wei Yunying, shook her head, picked up a pink-purple chrysanthemum embroidered pink-trimmed gown and handed it to Wei Yunying, "That's it." ”

Wei Yunying trusted Sanniang very much, and took the clothes without saying a word, and let the girl around her wait to change them.

"How?" Wei Yunying changed her clothes and walked up to Sanniang and asked with some trepidation.

Sanniang smiled and nodded, the pink purple color brightened Wei Yunying's yellowish complexion a lot. And the combination of lilac and pale yellow is very bright and lively.

"I'll help you apply your makeup." Sanniang pulled Wei Yunying to the dresser. Wei Yunying looked at herself in the mirror, and sure enough, she felt that the dress on her body was very flattering to herself, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly at Sanniang.

Sanniang personally helped Wei Yunying put on makeup. It's easy to do.

Sanniang looked at Sanniang with bright eyes and said, "Sister Ke, you are so powerful." ”

Sanniang smiled, can she say that makeup is a necessary skill for modern women? There is nothing difficult to turn decay into magic. But Wei Yunying's foundation is already good.

"Ah, today looks better than the last time in the carriage." Zheng Shi walked over at some point, looked at Wei Yunying and said in surprise.

"Huh? Powder of this color? Shen Yue'e also followed, caught a glimpse of the slightly darker pink on the dresser, and looked at Wei Yunying carefully with some curiosity.

"It turns out that it can be used, but I thought no one would use it, so it looks good."

Wei Yunying looked at Shen Yue'e when she heard this: "Has Miss Shen ever seen this kind of powder?" Where have you seen it? This box of powder was given to me by Sister Ke, and I sent the girl at home to look for it yesterday, but I didn't find it. ”

Shen Yue'e thought for a while when she heard this: "I saw it last time in a rouge shop on Dongcheng Street in the west of the city. If Miss Wei wants to buy it, I can take you there. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yunying nodded hurriedly and said, "I want it, I want it." Next time you take me. ”

"Okay, let Fang'er comb your hair, the time is coming." Zheng reminded Wei Yunying.

After Wei Yunying finished dressing up, she looked in the mirror and was really satisfied, and couldn't help but look forward to today's cruise banquet.

Jihe River, passing through Ziyang City, intersects with the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in the north of the city, and travels by boat on weekdays, which is quite lively. Only today, a section of the waterway in the city was blocked by several official ships, preventing the passage of ships. Because the official document was sent only a few days ago, except for the ships that frequently come and go after hearing the news, they have changed their routes today, and some ships from other places have no choice but to sail into the Huancheng River and then change their routes.

As soon as Sanniang got out of the carriage, she saw a three-story ornately decorated boat parked on the shore. The four large sails on the ship's mast and foremast had been folded and were now quietly resting on the shore.

Zheng led Sanniang and the others to the boat.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Sanniang asked Wei Yunying in a low voice, not forgetting that she had fainted in the carriage before.

Wei Yunying was looking around cautiously with some nervousness at this time, and was stunned when she heard the words before she reacted, turned her head and shook her head, "Sister Ke, you just didn't mention it, I almost forgot." ”

Sanniang laughed, and was about to make fun of her, but saw a group of people coming in front of her.

"Mrs. Wei, you are here. I'm still thinking about whether I should send someone to the house to ask for another time. The lady in the middle of the room, who was very richly dressed and dignified, greeted him with a smile.

"Mrs. Zhou, I don't like to hear what you say, which time I agreed to the invitation didn't go to the ground in a hurry, why did I ask you to ask for three or four invitations." Zheng replied with disgust,

And they all laughed.

"These are the young masters and young ladies of the Wang family, right?" Mrs. Zhou turned her eyes to Sanniang and the others, and asked Zheng with a smile.

Zheng introduced several juniors one by one.

Sanniang and the others were also busy saluting Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou stretched out her hand to help Sanniang. took her hand and looked her up and down for a while, nodded and said, "It is worthy of being a young lady from the Wang family, and it is different at first glance." The last time I was in Beijing, I saw the nine girls of the Wang family. I still think that such a smart and crystal person is really rare in the world, and I don't want to know it today, it is not rare. Rather, it is only in a few households. ”

Sanniang pretended to be shy and bowed her head and smiled, the ninth girl in Mrs. Zhou's mouth was her ninth aunt. Wang Zheng, the only daughter of her uncle and grandfather Wang Xian, is only one year older than her.

"Wei Yunying, why are you dressed like this today?" A ten-year-old girl beside Mrs. Zhou, with slightly flat facial features and a slightly larger face, looked at Wei Yunying with a frown, and suddenly said loudly.

Wei Yunying subconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes when she heard this, saw that Sanniang was looking at her encouragingly, and saw that although she could be retouched. But after all, Zhou Yan'er, who looked very ordinary, finally had some courage thinking that the person was also on this boat today.

"Sister Ke said that this is more suitable for me."

"Who said that? It's ugly, you're going to change! Otherwise, I will ignore you. Zhou Yan'er somehow suddenly went crazy, forgetting that the elders were still in front of her.

"Wild goose! Don't be unreasonable! Mrs. Zhou scolded.

Then he explained to a chubby young man behind her: "Liang'er, you lead Young Master Wei, Young Master Wang, and this ...... Young Master Wang went to the hall on the second floor to entertain him. "This young man has just met Sanniang and others, and he is Mrs. Zhou's eldest son.

Zhou Liang led several young masters to the gate on the second floor, and Mrs. Zhou said to Wei Yunying: "Yunying, don't be angry with your sister Zhou. She's been waiting for you to come. The day before yesterday, I heard that you couldn't come to something, so I was in a hurry to ask me to invite you. ”

Wei Yunying glanced at Zhou Yan'er and shook her head, indicating that she was not angry.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, "Look how long we've been standing there." It's rude, Mrs. Wei, let's also go to the hall to sit, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Han and others have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The hall in Mrs. Zhou's mouth is located in the middle of the boat room on the third floor, and the large one can accommodate one or two hundred people, which has been arranged similar to the general banquet living room at this time, but under the open windows on both sides is the rushing river, and the river breeze is also comfortable.

There were already more than a dozen ladies and ladies in the hall, and Mrs. Zhou led everyone to greet each other, and Sanniang naturally couldn't escape being praised and praised again. Fortunately, it is not uncommon in front of this kind of scene, and Sanniang naturally copes with it smoothly.

And Shen Yue, who thought there would be some trouble, has been standing behind Sanniang with low eyebrows today, and when she introduced her, she also greeted all the ladies and ladies softly, and then stood behind Sanniang to let Sanniang socialize, if she didn't ask her, she would never interject, and she wouldn't look around, but Sanniang was a little impressed by this cousin.

Finally, after the greetings, the ladies sat together to chat and drink tea, and several girls also sat together.

"Mrs. Su, Miss Su has arrived." The mother-in-law who guards the door said.

Everyone in the hall got up to greet them when they heard this.

The lady who came was a little older than the Zheng family, and she was dressed very plainly, if she walked on the road, she would be the housewife of an ordinary family, but this Mrs. Su was the wife of Lord Su of the Ministry of War. She was followed by a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, with a goose egg face and big eyes, and her dress was also very simple, with the temperament of a scholarly family.

"I don't want to welcome Mrs. Zhou in just with the front foot, Mrs. Su, you are here. I should have gone to greet him, but it was rude. Mrs. Zhou said.

"It's what I want the people below not to report, it's just a few steps in total, why should Mrs. Zhou be polite." Mrs. Su said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhou confessed again, and when Mrs. Su asked Miss Su to come forward to greet her, Mrs. Zhou naturally complimented her, but that Miss Su bowed down and listened, occasionally politely thanking her, without too much expression on her face. In the end, Mrs. Zhou couldn't boast anymore.

Sanniang, these juniors, naturally came forward to see it.

In the end, the ladies and ladies were seated on either side.

"I heard that this Miss Su is a talented woman, and she is very famous in Beijing, and even the Queen Mother has praised it." Miss Chen Tongzhi's family angrily pouted at Miss Su, who was sitting alone, and whispered.

"I don't know if it's a talented girl, but I don't believe it if I want to say that the Queen Mother praised her because of her fame. Who doesn't know that today's Queen Mother likes virtuous women the most? The most advocating woman is virtue if she is not talented. I heard that the princess Qingping born to the Queen Mother only read the female ring. Zhou Yan'er pursed her lips and retorted. (To be continued.)
