Chapter 46: Congratulations
Seeing his eldest brother's eyes, Ah Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in surprise:
"Big brother, you can't fall in love with this young lady of the Jiang family, right?"
The man in Tsing Yi retracted his gaze and looked at Ah Hao helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Ah Hao clasped his hands around his chest and smiled evilly: "If the eldest brother wants to find another way to please him, I can't tell my sister-in-law a few words." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" The man in Tsing Yi frowned: "Recently, the house's internal affairs have been busy, and Baohua is also small, your sister-in-law has no skills, don't bother her with unnecessary things." ”
The man in Tsing Yi looked serious, not as if he was fake, so Ah Hao put his mind at ease and stopped joking.
The sister-in-law treats him well, but he doesn't want his eldest brother to be blinded by the wild flowers outside and hurt his sister-in-law's heart.
After sitting for a while, Ah Hao felt bored, and finally couldn't sit down, so he dragged his eldest brother downstairs.
……
On the shore of Chengyang Lake, Mingyue, who covered her whole body with a hat, held Yanyan's little hand tightly, not daring to get too close to the lake, she tried her best to control Yanyan in front of a row of willow trees that were still some distance from the lake, and the three maids were waiting around.
Fortunately, the maid named Lushui of the Zhang family was born with a pair of skillful hands, and made a head ring for Yanyan with wicker, and picked wildflowers on the roadside to decorate it, making it a small and delicate wreath, which looked unique and immediately attracted Yanyan's attention.
The little girl's beauty-loving nature was once again revealed, she wore a garland on her head and walked in the crowd around her for a while, and then returned to the willow tree, letting the green water continue to make a garland, and she had to let Mingyue wear it too.
Mingyue pushed but couldn't, in desperation, her eyes looked around, there was no shortage of official women around, most of them showed their faces, all showing their true faces, only a few were like Mingyue, wearing hats.
The Great Qi Dynasty is much more civilized than the previous dynasty, and it is no longer as strict with women as in the past, and it is not a big deal for women to show up outside.
There are many rules in the capital, and some big families have retained the rules and systems of the family, and the Jiang family is one of them.
In most areas except the capital, such as the northwest and other places, the folk customs are even more fierce, many women do not lose to men, fresh clothes and angry horses, riding horses and parade the streets......
Only one region in the south of the Yangtze River has strict rules, and there are many restrictions on women.
Mingyue didn't need to wear a hat to go out, the reason why she did this extra was just to avoid some possible trouble.
However, Yanyan always pulled her sleeve and begged, looking at her with big eyes, Mingyue finally relented.
Mingyue took off her hat and handed it to Shuxiang who was standing aside, and under Yanyan's excited urging, Lushui put on a garland for Mingyue.
"Auntie is so beautiful!" Yeon-yeon clapped her hands and praised again.
Mingyue smiled: "It's as beautiful as Yanyan!" ”
The little girl took Mingyue's hand and couldn't wait to run into the crowd to show off the new image of the two.
Mingyue looked at the slightly crowded crowd not far away, frowned, and persuaded Yanyan:
"Yeonyan, there are too many people there, we may be scattered, don't go there, okay?"
Yeon-yeon pursed her lips with a reluctant expression.
Mingyue bent over, and was about to coax again, when a voice suddenly sounded next to her: "I want that garland!" Go buy it for me! ”
Mingyue heard the sound and looked at it, even Yanyan forgot about her unhappiness for the time being, and looked over.
A girl who looked slightly older than Yeon-yeon, richly dressed, but with a haughty-looking look and an arrogant face, was staring at the wreath on Yeon-yeon's head.
Yanyan was less than four years old, and when she saw such an unkind peer for the first time, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Soon, a maid was ordered to come, and her expression was equally haughty.
"How many silver taels is this garland? Our lady bought it! ”
She pointed to the wreath on Yeonyan's head and asked Xiang Mingyue.
Yanyan subconsciously reached out and grabbed the garland on her head tightly, and shook her head again and again: "Auntie, don't sell Yanyan's garland!" ”
Mingyue touched her head soothingly, and then looked at the visitor: "I'm sorry, we don't sell it." ”
The maid raised her chin slightly, glanced at Yanyan with slanted eyes, and looked at Mingyue again:
"Seeing that you are also official women, I don't take advantage of you, we are willing to pay fifty taels!"
Mingyue frowned, this wreath is just a casual weave of green water, if it is taken to the market to sell, I am afraid that it is not worth a few pennies, why should the other party be like this.
But the other party knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary official family, and nine times out of ten, his status was not low, and Mingyue did not want to be easily offended.
She took off the wreath on her head and said to the visitor, "Since your young lady wants it so much, I will give this to you." ”
"I don't want it! I'm going to ask for that one on her head! ”
It was the arrogant girl in the back who spoke, not only with an arrogant attitude, but also with a very tough tone.
Yanyan was frightened for a moment and hid behind Mingyue, her little face full of fear.
Seeing her like this, Mingyue felt a trace of anger in her heart, and said to her very politely:
"Her wreath is not for sale! No matter how much money you don't sell! Sorry, let's go first. ”
After speaking, she turned around and squatted down, touched Yanyan's little face, smiled at her gently, and then took her little hand, ready to leave.
"Don't go!" The arrogant girl shouted angrily.
Immediately, a few maids blocked the way of Mingyue and a few people.
Yanyan hugged Mingyue's leg tightly again, trembling: "Auntie, Yanyan is so scared......"
At this time, Mingyue was really angry.
However, she hid her anger in the bottom of her heart, and her face was calm.
She smiled at Yanyan first, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yanyan, your aunt will protect you." ”
Then he glanced at the red sleeves: "Hold Yanyan." ”
He said to the green water and the fragrance of the book: "Pacify Yanyan." ”
Finally, she looked at the arrogant girl, and the corners of her mouth pulled into a smile without the slightest warmth.
"I wonder which lady this is?"
The arrogant girl was inexplicably nervous, she didn't understand, what was she nervous about? The person in front of her was clearly smiling, why was she nervous?
Not only the girls, but also the maids who looked at the smiling bright moon were also cold and nervous.
Because of this sudden nervousness, it took a long time for a maid to answer Mingyue's words.
"Our young lady is the little young lady of the Wan family!"
After saying that, the tension of the crowd disappeared a lot. This identity is a source of pride for them!
The little lady of Wanjia?
Mingyue's eyes flashed, and she soon knew the specific identity of this little lady from the Wan family.
The eldest daughter of Wan Chengyue, the eldest grandson of the Wan family!
This Wan Chengyue should be about to welcome Yunling into the door, right?
Mingyue sneered in her heart.
How bad is Wanjia? Even such a little girl is such a style.
Although she thought so in her heart, the smile on Mingyue's face became more and more serious.
"It turned out to be the little lady of the Wan family! No wonder it's unusual! ”
When the arrogant girl and the maids of the Wan family heard this, they only thought that Mingyue was praising them, and their attitudes became more and more arrogant.
Mingyue said again: "Speaking of which, I attended a banquet the day before yesterday and saw the scene of the hero saving the beauty, so I have to congratulate Master Wan!" ”
