Chapter Twenty-Nine
On the second day at the college, Qian Liang and Hong Lang told their classmates what they thought yesterday and consulted everyone's opinions.
The male disciples all said that there was no problem, while the female disciples all had to send someone home to consult the elders before making a decision.
Before noon, many servants or maids were sent to the school building of Ling Ze's first class with a change of clothes and daily necessities.
Everyone's family had no objection to this matter, even the princess Li Shiqing, there was news of support from the palace, with two palace maids and three large cages.
The disciples were in class at this time, and the room over there was already in full swing. The wing room is usually cleaned on the day of the holiday, because no one lived in the school building at night before, and now it is suddenly necessary to move in, not only to clean it well, but also to place a good dry supplies, which really has a lot to be cleaned up.
The disciples continued to attend classes and practice as usual, and when Shen Shi dismissed the school, everyone went to the canteen of the Xiyang Academy of Lanshan Academy to eat. Because Lingxiao Courtyard does not provide meals, Qian Liang reported the demand to the master, and it was the master who communicated with Xiyang Courtyard, and they could all go to the canteen there to eat in the near future.
After dinner, I started practicing again. This night, everyone changed the direction of practice, mainly to practice throwing tiles, and the requirements for the operator are steady, accurate and fast. The height of the tiles thrown out should not exceed one finger width up and down, so as to prevent the tiles from hitting the calves and affecting the performance. The accuracy of the tiles required many repeated practice, and it was not until the middle of the moon that everyone returned to the wing room to rest tired.
After two days of intensive training, quite good results have been achieved, basically the whole show can be barely completed, but the familiarity needs to be strengthened.
The third day was the rest of the day, and after getting up early in the morning to freshen up, Jiang Shuli got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion and returned to the Hou Mansion of Changning.
When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Jiang Shuli saw that it was not early, so he went straight to Shou'an Hall.
There was a lot of laughter in Shou'an Hall, and the maid at the door saw that Jiang Shuli had arrived, and was busy opening the curtain, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”
Jiang Shuli smiled and walked in.
The people of the second and third rooms were gathered in the hall. The old lady sat on the bed of rosewood inlay, enamel and gold porcelain plate painting, landscape arhat, holding a blue and white porcelain cup with plum in her hand, and sipping tea.
The second wife, Luo Shi, and the third wife, Liu, were also sitting on the Huanghuali openwork circle chair on the side, and behind them stood Jiang Shuqi and Jiang Shumiao, the second-room concubine, Jiang Shuxin, and the third-room concubine Jiang Shuqing.
Jiang Shuli smiled and walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted the old lady in a dignified manner, "Shuli has seen my grandmother, because I rushed back from the academy, I was late to ask my grandmother to say goodbye, and I hope that my grandmother is not strange." ”
"Hurry up," the old lady shouted with a smile, and the mother-in-law on the side hurriedly stepped forward to put the embroidery pier, "This academy has been back for half an hour, so it must have gotten up very early and rushed back?" Ready for breakfast? ”
Jiang Shuli shook her head, in order to return to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, she got into the carriage after freshening up, and did not waste any more time going to Xiyang Courtyard for breakfast.
"How can this work?" The old lady put down the cup, her face full of distress, "Go to the dining room to eat first, and then come back to grandmother." ”
Jiang Shuli answered, then got up and went to the dining room with Mama, and when she returned to the main hall, she saw Jiang Shuqi standing at the door pacing back and forth, "Eldest sister, you can be considered to have finished eating, we are all waiting for you!" ”
"But what's the matter?" Jiang Shuli was surprised.
Jiang Shuqi grabbed her arm and said happily, "Just now my grandmother said that we are all going to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so today I want to make each of us another set of skirts." No, Mama Lu from Yingyue Building has arrived, and it is said that she has brought the latest fabric this year! We're all waiting for you to come and choose the fabric. ”
As she spoke, she took Jiang Shuli into the house, and said to the old lady in a pretty voice, "Grandmother, the big sister is here." ”
"Grandmother."
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, "These leather monkeys can't stay still, Shuli, you take them to the side hall to choose the fabric and measure the size." Go ahead. ”
"Yes." Jiang Shuli responded, turned around and took her four younger sisters to the side hall.
In the side hall, Mama Lu and several mothers-in-law were already waiting, "The slave maid has seen the eldest miss, the second miss, the third miss, the fourth miss and the fifth miss. ”
"Mama Lu, please get up," Jiang Shuli stepped forward, "I'm bothering you again today." ”
"It's not troublesome," Mama Lu said with a smile, "It's an honor for slaves to serve the young ladies." In the past two days, a batch of excellent fabrics has arrived, and it just so happens that six horses have been sent to the Hou Mansion today, and the ladies have chosen the ones they like, and the skirts they make must be very beautiful. Even when you get to the palace, you can't go at all! ”
Jiang Shuqi was already impatient here, thinking that Jiang Shuli was too pretentious to look at his subordinates so kindly, so he interjected and asked, "Mama Lu, open it quickly and let us see." ”
Mama Lu answered, walked to the mahogany long table and lifted the cloth that wrapped the cloth, and in an instant, five floating green pills made people unable to take their eyes off the cloth appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the clotted fat Huai brocade, the latest fabric in Huai Weaving City this year, because the delicate dust is comparable to women's skin, it is named after the clotted fat." Mama Lu introduced them one by one, "Slaves and maids have been doing it for so many years, and it is rare to encounter such beautiful satin. ”
"Ladies and ladies look," she gently twisted the goose-yellow brocade, "the goose-yellow color is very positive, and the dandelions painted with silver and white threads on the top seem to float out of the brocade with a single blow." After making a skirt, it will be as elegant as a fairy when it moves around with the pace, which is really beautiful. ”
"There is also this pink Huai brocade, the peach petals on the top are delicate and dripping, just looking at it is like being able to smell the fragrance of peach blossoms in March, taking advantage of the natural beauty of the young ladies, it is definitely rare in the world!"
Mama Lu is the chief steward of Yingyue Building, dealing with famous ladies all the year round, she can speak well, and she is used to understanding the minds of the girls.
Jiang Shuli smiled when he saw this, "Shuqi, you take your sisters to choose first, and I'll go to the inner room to measure the size." ”
"Why didn't the eldest lady choose first?" Mama Lu followed Jiang Shuli to the inner room, skillfully measured her figure, and asked in a low voice, "But you don't like those Huai Jin?" ”
"How?" Jiang Shuliping stretched out his arms, "It's because they are all so beautiful, it's almost the same to choose, or let the sisters choose first, after all, I'm the eldest sister, right?" ”
When she measured the size and went out, she saw Jiang Shuqi, Jiang Shumiao and Jiang Shuqing each holding a piece of fabric, and their eyes were full of satisfaction.
She couldn't help but smile and looked at Jiang Shuxin, who was standing in front of the table guarding the remaining two pieces of cloth, "Third sister, why haven't you chosen yet?" ”
Jiang Shuxin touched the remaining two pieces of cloth, one was light blue and the other was white, she smiled, "These two are very good-looking, I don't know which one to choose for a while, so I simply waited for the eldest sister to come and help me refer to the details." ”
That's what it means to let her choose first.
Jiang Shuli hooked the corners of her mouth, knowing that this was Jiang Shuxin's message of goodwill, she walked forward slowly, "The gardenia on this horse is as pure as condensation, and the posture is like swaying in the wind, the eldest sister looks very compatible with you, why don't you choose this?" ”
Seeing Jiang Shuxin's eyes light up, she knew that she had already taken a fancy to this horse.
Mama Lu on the side also smiled and nodded, Jiang Shuxin's complexion was slightly darker, and she was just right to wear white. And Jiang Shuli's skin is like condensation, and the light blue color can make her skin even more fair and flawless.
