Chapter 107: Seeing Each Other (2)
Other girls wore a lotus lotus embroidered silver thread lotus pattern skirt, long hair combed into a concentric bun that young women often comb, inserted a few bead flowers and a jade tassel, the jade tassel is special, the top is made of red jade into a small carp with a head and tail, and a few strings of crystal white jade beads fall on the bottom, thin grease powder, the skin is very white, the eyebrows are bent and willow leaves, the expression is tranquil, not how beautiful it is, but it is also dignified and generous, it can be seen that it has been carefully dressed.
Miss Sun gently and softly replied to Tao Fengxiang's praise: "The third girl has reached my age, and her embroidery is even better than mine. ,”
Mrs. Sun looked back at her sister-in-law, but her tone and expression were serious: "Okay, let's go and meet Mrs. Tao first, don't delay the third girl." ,”
The other girl also said goodbye to Tao Fengxiang and followed her sister-in-law into the hall.
Tao Fengxiang turned around and said, "Ah Rong, have you seen clearly? What do you think? Did you see her tassel hairpin? That red jade carp on top is special, isn't it? Her maiden name is Red Carp. ,”
Judging from this specially created hairpin, other girls' makeup may not be able to be meager, at least, it is also worthy of Lin Yizhi.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile slightly: "It looks pretty good, it seems that Mrs. Sun's temperament is a little harsh." "But at a glance, I can't really see it clearly. There are many people who look good at first glance, but it may not be so when they actually come into contact. But what can be done? Unless it is a world friend or relative who knows the roots, it is like hitting a big luck, and no matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Tao Fengxiang whispered: "You're right, the Sun family is not prosperous, the old lady passed away very early, this young lady became a family as soon as she entered the door, taking care of her father-in-law, sister-in-law, and uncle's family, and a lot of things at a young age, do you think she can not be strict?" ,, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh softly, even if Miss Sun is really good, but she is two years older than Lin Yizhi, and her parents died early. The eldest sister-in-law is in charge. Not a good match in the eyes of many.
To set her, even if the makeup is rich, "Tao is afraid that she will receive a lot of criticism, which is really difficult.
No matter, anyway, don't let Fan enter the door" and said again.
Tossing a few more times, I finally heard Tao Fengxiang say that the Fan family is here, Mrs. Fan is a bloated woman in her forties, wearing a gold clay shirt and a green skirt, wearing a flower crown "smiling like Maitreya Buddha, leading a girl with a half-hanging head, wearing a pink and green shirt, and about the same age as Lin Jinrong, surrounded by two or three girls. Before Tao Fengxiang could speak, Mrs. Fan had already smiled and said, "Third girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have already become a big girl." , "The tone was familiar and kind, and his eyes swept over Lin Jinrong's body without a trace, and he gave Lin Jinrong a kind smile.
Lin Jinrong smiled back at Mrs. Fan. His eyes fell on Fan Bing behind her. At this moment, Fan's has not fully grown, his head is a little thin, his hair is combed into a bun, and two ordinary styles of small gold hairpins and beaded flowers are inserted in the bun. Although the pink-green dress was new, her face was not powdered, her eyebrows were clear, her expression was silent and submissive, and she was a little shy, and she followed behind Mrs. Fan, barely squinting. It looks honest and deferential" and plain.
What a little girl who can pretend. Lin Jinrong sneered slightly, glanced at Tao Fengxiang, and followed up to see the excitement.
A large group of women in the room were talking lively, some of them were acquaintances with Tao, and they were pulling Tao's reminiscences, and the rest of the people they didn't know were also introduced to Tao's acquaintance by Wu. While talking to others, Tao's eyes sneaked towards the Sun family's aunt and sister-in-law from time to time.
The sister-in-law of the Sun family was also greeting acquaintances, and two young daughters-in-law were pulling Sun Hongli to look at the dress on her body, praising her female redness, and praising the jade tassel hairpin on her head for being elegant and special. Sun Hongli smiled faintly, and replied softly and politely to everyone's words, and his popularity seemed quite good. Mrs. Cut is still smiling, and she is secretly looking at Tao while talking to people.
Although they have not been clarified, they are still waiting, but they are also a little bit in each other's hearts, and the eyes of the two inadvertently meet each other, and they are a little embarrassed for a while. Mrs. Sun looked at Tao directly, and Tao was a little displeased, but she still nodded politely at her and smiled slightly. Mrs. Sun also smiled, but her eyes did not withdraw from Tao's body, and she naturally looked up and down carefully.
Tao thought to himself, it was my family who picked the daughter-in-law, but it wasn't your family who picked the person, so what do you want to do when you look back and forth like this? I was a little unhappy at the moment. But her attention was quickly attracted by the mother and daughter of the Fan family who had just come in, Mrs. Fan was not the object of her attention, but the Fan girl next to Mrs. Fan was. Seeing that Miss Fan didn't raise her head, didn't squint, was honest and deferential, shy and timid, taciturn, and didn't apply fat, she was a little satisfied. A concubine is a concubine, that's right.
Lin Jinrong looked at Tao's eyes, and he was a little panicked. She knew Dow's psychology, or rather, the general psychology of most main houses. I think that the concubine should be matched with a concubine, and it is best to have a family background that can get by, but I am not favored, and I am an honest concubine, so I can't make waves.
Look at these two candidates, Sun Hongli is a concubine, and her family is also well-off, look at her sister-in-law's appearance. is also high-minded and strong-hearted, if it weren't for the loss of both parents, the old and the elderly, and being disliked, it would be impossible to marry a concubine who has no future to be angry; And Miss Fan, who has been begging for a living under her mother-in-law for a long time, looks at this cowardly, silent, supple and shy appearance (although it is pretended), how can she handle it better.
I have to say that Mrs. Fan empathizes, and has a very accurate grasp of Tao's psychology of picking a daughter-in-law for her concubine, and after glancing at Tao, she pretended not to know, and watched the Tao family's girl serve tea, sat still, and got up by Miss Fan to take it herself, and respectfully offered it with both hands, so she took it lightly and took a sip leisurely. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Miss Fan, and it was the first time she brought it out when she reached the age of marriage, but it was like this. But seeing that Miss Fan's face was as usual, she waited until Mrs. Fan finished drinking tea, stepped forward to take it and put it away, and did not sit down, but stood quietly beside Mrs. Fan. It wasn't until Mrs. Fan opened her mouth that she sat next to Mrs. Fan in a regular manner, advancing and retreating as usual, and the etiquette was proper.
Seeing this, even if everyone slandered Mrs. Fan as vicious as a tigress, they had to admire her rules and take them right, and they couldn't help but think about it, if the people in their own house and the concubines and concubines were so well-behaved and obedient, wouldn't it save a lot of heart?
Lin Jinrong looked at Tao again, and saw that Tao's eyes were a little more willing, and he didn't look at other aunts and sisters-in-law out of the corners of his eyes, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder the eldest aunt Zhou would choose this Fan's back then, and the old lady agreed without thinking about it, not necessarily because she was uneasy and kind, and wanted the third mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be discordant. Fight to the death. Now from a rough point of view, Miss Fan, regardless of her family background and identity and temperament, is more suitable for Lin Yizhi than cutting red carp. But this person is resolutely unable to enter the Lin family, that gloomy and sinister temperament is enough for people to drink a pot, Lin Jinrong pondered hard, how to destroy this marriage logically. She doesn't want to make a big fuss, as long as Tao doesn't take a fancy to Miss Fan.
After a while, the guests arrived, and Wu led everyone to go upstairs to watch the play, except for Tao Fengqing, who was still not idle, everyone was seated. The Wu family deliberately arranged for Mrs. Fan and Tao to sit at the same table, and the Sun family's sister-in-law sat at the next table with Lin Jinrong and Miss Fan.
Lin Jinrong pricked up his ears and listened, Mrs. Fan naturally talked to Tao, praised Tao's without a trace, and chose Tao's favorite words, Tao's eyes were amused by her, and even said that she was interesting.
As the two of them talked, their heads came together, and a few glances drifted to Miss Fan's body.
The sister-in-law of the Sun family seemed to understand something, Sun Hongli's face was covered by fat powder, and her eyes were drooping, and she couldn't see anything unusual, but Mrs. Don't's eyes flashed a trace of shame, and she was a little unhappy when she looked at Tao's eyes, but for some unavoidable reason, she swallowed it raw, and glared at Fan's mother and daughter with hatred, and knocked up the melon seeds angrily.
Miss Fan's seat happened to be next to Lin Jinrong, her eyes were half lowered, and she didn't eat much, but she didn't look fascinated by watching a play.
You just pretend to be wooden and honest! I can't eat anything, are you afraid that the marriage will not work? Lin Jinrong held his chin and thought about it, picked up the plate containing longan in front of him and handed it over to Aunt Sun Hongli with a smile: "Mrs. Sun and Miss Sun eat fruits." The sleeve inadvertently knocked over the teacup in front of him, the teacup gurgled twice, and finally fell, and the tea spilled on Miss Fan's body.
Miss Fan's face finally revealed a trace of panic, and she hurriedly got up to shake the tea, and the mother-in-law behind her hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her dress, but the cloth was too pink and tender, and it was already soaked with tea in an instant, and she couldn't wear it.
Not far away, Tao Fengxiang also raised his finger at Lin Jinrong, indicating that she had become bad. Lin Jinrong ignored Tao Fengxiang, with a look of surprise on his face, and stayed for a while before he sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, this sister, I didn't mean to." It's all mine, isn't it, can I compensate you for a dress? As he spoke, he took his own handkerchief to wipe Miss Fan, but his eyes were looking at the Sun family's sister-in-law.
But seeing a hint of ridicule flashing in Mrs. Cut's eyes, she raised her eyes with slight disdain and looked away, don't red carp lowered her eyes, asked the girl for a handkerchief, silently wiped the tea flowing on the table, and cooperated with the girl to clean up the tabletop.
Miss Fan stared at the tea stains on her new clothes, her eyes were a little red, she glanced at Mrs. Fan timidly, and said dryly, "It's okay." ”
Over there, Mrs. Fan and Tao Zai had already noticed the small commotion here, and Mrs. Fan's face was full of kindness and couldn't see anything, but Tao glared at Lin Jinrong warningly. Lin Jinrong looked innocent, pulled Miss Fan to get up and said to Tao Shi with a smile: "Mother, I was clumsy and soiled this sister's dress, we are about the same size, it just so happens that I have a new set of clothes that I haven't worn, shall I compensate this sister?" ”
