Chapter 16: Feast 1

It is said that Yunxi listened to Yuanyuan's words, although he was displeased, but he didn't take it to heart, closed his eyes, and fell asleep at some point, and on the second day, he was woken up by Yuanyuan, and according to what he said last night, Yunxi wore a goose yellow short jacket, a lake-blue pleated skirt, and two more bags on his head, and a pearl headband. Yunxi looked in the mirror, what a pretty and cute little Lori, OK.

When they arrived in the living room, Lin and Yun Jin were already waiting. Lin also wore gold and silver, a light green silk robe, and peony flowers were embroidered everywhere on the collar and sleeves. changed the usual simplicity, Yun Jin also put on a pink and purple brocade dress, needless to say, it was even more beautiful.

In ancient times, women were all matured, talking about marriage at twelve or thirteen, teaching family affairs, getting married and having children at fifteen or sixteen, and becoming grandmothers in their thirties. Although Yun Jin is only thirteen years old and his stature is not enough, he already has a bit of girlish charm.

"Mother, sister, it's so beautiful today!"

Although Lin didn't know what he meant by being beautiful, he also knew that he was probably praising the beauty of the two.

Stretched out his hand and pulled over Yunxi and pinched his face. "Our Yunxi is also very beautiful!"

Yun Jin took the opportunity to come up, and he had to pinch it.

"Mother, don't pinch it!" Yunxi quickly broke free. Some family members are not good at this, they are either held in their arms and rubbed, or their faces are pinched. Ay......

After breakfast, the Lin family mother and daughter accompanied the maid Qingxing sent by Aunt Ye to the water pavilion for today's banquet.

Yunxi couldn't figure out why he had to choose such a place to feast guests. At this time, although it is not yet the tenth month of the lunar calendar, it is very cold in the north, and it is even colder by the water.

When I got closer, I realized that it was originally for the purpose of watching a play, and a stage was temporarily set up in the garden near the water pavilion. The pavilion has two floors, spacious and bright, just right for the theater.

At this time, the stage is still deserted, only the drummer and musician are adjusting the instruments. The water pavilion watching the play also sat a lot of people at this time, laughing and laughing, and it was very lively.

There were already daughters-in-law on the side of the water pavilion to welcome guests, seeing Lin and others coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to help lift the curtain, a wave of heat came to the face, the water pavilion was as warm as spring, and countless charcoal basins were placed on both sides of the house.

Yunxi sighed secretly in his heart: "This Li family is rich, so many charcoal pots, there is no smoke in the house, obviously this charcoal is also quite precious." ”

"Auntie, cousin, sister." I heard a crisp voice coming, it turned out to be two cousins who came to greet her, and it was the older Li Yanran who spoke, "Uncle, my mother is entertaining guests on the second floor, and she can't be busy, so she ordered me and Xinran to pick you up." ”

Aunt Ye is the youngest daughter-in-law, and she can be said to be the most idle one for the big and small banquets in the family in the past, but today is different, who is the protagonist today? Young Xie Yuan, who is Xie Yuan? Her son, the mother is more expensive than the son, and this Aunt Ye is definitely the protagonist.

Although when she received the good news a few days ago, she had received countless compliments from her neighbors, but it was not too much to listen to it again today, and she was most proud of her long face in front of the concubines.

The Yunjin sisters went upstairs with the Lin family, and after a circle of elders, they were pulled out by the Yanran sisters, "Let's go downstairs and play by ourselves, don't be with them." ”

Yunxi took a quick glance, and sure enough, the upstairs were all married people with complicated hair and sideburns. Yun Jin said to the Lin family, and then pulled Yun Xi downstairs with them.

I just went downstairs, and I saw the door curtain of the inner hall on the first floor, and a light and elegant young girl came out of it. He wore a shallow lake blue wide-sleeved jacket on his upper body, a moon-white eight-panel skirt, and a jasper crown hairpin was inserted on top of his black hair. Mild complexion. Seeing the Yunxi sisters, they said with a smile: "Fourth sister and fifth sister, take the two younger sisters inside." They're making a fuss inside. ”

Go in and take a look, a room of beautiful girls, in two circles, noisy, is playing backgammon, backgammon has been the most popular board game since the Tang Dynasty, there are fixed rectangular plates, there are six ways on the left and right sides of the painting, and the two sides are divided into fifteen horses in black and white, like a small wooden stick in a bowling ball. The horses are placed on the side of the plate according to the regulations, and the two sides take turns to roll the dice and move the horses according to the number of points. The white horse is from right to left, and the black horse is from left to right. The one who comes out first wins.

Backgammon Bofa has been lost at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yunxi can't do it, she is curious, with her small size, she tries to squeeze in and take a look, other women see that she is just a child, and they don't think it's angry. I gave it to her, but it didn't look interesting for a while, and I squeezed it out again.

Yunxi found her sister and sat next to her. Immediately, a maid poured tea for her, Yunxi looked at it, but it was sherbet, it turned out that the maid saw that she was young and couldn't drink tea, so she deliberately changed it to her.

Yunxi praised: "Sister Yanran, Sister Xinran, your maid is really good." Trained. ”

happily covered her mouth and snickered, "My sister doesn't know, this is all sent from the restaurant, along with the banquet, tea, maids, and utensils." In our family, we only need to pay silver. ”

Yunxi's eyes widened, although she knew that the service industry in the Northern Song Dynasty was very developed, but it was only six years after the founding of the country, and this was not Kaifeng City, it was Youzhou City, which had been occupied by the Khitan for a long time, and there was such a caring service.

"Wow ......"

Yes, I was ridiculed.

Yunxi followed the sound and saw that the person who laughed was a girl who led the table, fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a red beard suit, silver narrow-sleeved lapels, a black ribbon around her waist, and sheepskin boots.

Seeing Yunxi looking at her, she was not embarrassed, she got up and walked to Yunxi's table and bowed, "Little sister, I'm sorry, I saw that your eyes were so cute, I couldn't help laughing." ”

Yunxi didn't expect her to say this, she was stunned, and said with a smile, "More praise from my sister, I don't blame my sister, it's true that I have less knowledge." ”

Li Yanran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the two of them didn't quarrel. "Sister Xi, this is the niece of the eldest aunt, Wang Ying, you should be called Sister Wang."

Just call it, anyway, if you are young, you will suffer, there are sisters everywhere, Yunxi is also used to it, and she will call it when she opens her mouth. Wang Ying, niece, oh, the one who occupies their yard? It doesn't look like that unreasonable.

Because it was a relative who was cornering, Yun Jin also stood up and saluted.

Wang Ying explained to Yunxi, and she didn't go back to sitting, she pulled out a stool and sat next to Yunxi, and talked with Li Yanran's sisters.

Yunxi smiled secretly, I see.

Sister Li Yanran, as Xie Yuan's own sister, is naturally a rising tide, and this very promising talent has not yet decided on a marriage. Today, the male guests have gone to the restaurant, and they can't see it, but her sister is here, and it is necessary to leave a good impression on her sister.

The two groups of people who played Shuanglu had no intention of playing when they saw Li Yanran's sisters coming in, so they found an excuse to disperse at random, and swarmed around the table in Yunxi.

"Yanran, Xinran, now you are Xie Yuan's sister."

"Yanran, Xinran, you are so beautiful today."

"I will be the sister of the champion in the future."

……

All kinds of greeting words came out of the mouths of the little ladies, which seemed a little funny. Youzhou is already a fierce people, and women are not good at twisting and pinching, so they must have been explained by their parents when they came, and these flattering words were very twisted, and the funny Yunxi covered her mouth and snickered.

The Yanran sisters were surrounded by this group of little girls and asked this and that, laughing happily. Xinran was a narrow ghost, and when he saw that they were all openly and secretly inquiring about his brother, he coughed twice, stood on the stool, and shouted loudly: "Sisters, sisters, listen to me quietly, say a word." ”

All the women quieted down and looked happy.

Xinran coughed twice, arched his hands, and said with a smile: "Sisters, the problem you want to know, at present, it is like this, my grandfather said, my brother must not be married until the age of the weak crown, so I disappointed you......"

"Bang ......"

Xinran was pulled down by Yanran and covered her mouth, "You guy, what are you talking about." ”

Although the women were a little embarrassed, there were many people at the moment, and they couldn't be ashamed, so some of them boldly asked, "The fourth lady, is what the fifth lady said true?" ”

Yan Ran smiled: "That, I'm sorry, this thing is indeed true." ”

The women looked at each other, well, it was a waste of feelings. After a while, they walked away in twos and threes, and no one knew whether to give up or not to give up.

Xinran was pressed on the seat by her sister, and whispered to Yunjin: "Sister, my brother is waiting for you, hehe." Yun Jin blushed, but he couldn't care about it, "Shhh, be quiet, you make enemies for me." ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"
