Chapter 224
At this time, Huo Sijin was repeatedly looking at the invitation in his hand.
The invitation was sent by the eldest princess's mansion, inviting her to participate in the plum blossom viewing party in the first month.
There are a lot of entertainments in the first month, but Mrs. Feng is a widow, so it is inconvenient to go out, and there is no wife in the East Mansion who can take her out to socialize, if it is an invitation between the ladies, she can go with Huo Yuan, but if it is an invitation sent in the name of the ladies of each family, if she and Huo Yuan have no one to take them over, it will be unseemly.
Therefore, Huo Sijin had to turn down a lot of entertainment, but the eldest princess's mansion was different, this invitation was directly given to her and Huo Yuan.
Mama Yan began to prepare clothes and face for her, and called the people from the Cloud Embroidery Workshop to cut clothes for her, Huo Sijin remembered hearing that the Cloud Embroidery Workshop belonged to the Huo family in Hangzhou, and it was from the Huo Jiu family.
Huo Sijin's courtyard is full of people coming and going, either clothes shops, or silver building jade shops, as well as rouge shops and spice shops.
If it was before, Huo Sijin would not have done this, even if Huo Jiang gave her a lot of monthly silver, her clothes and jewelry were all in accordance with the rules set by the house, sewing a few skirts and a few gowns, making a few hairpin rings, and making a few pairs of shoes every season.
But since the last time he was ridiculed by the third grandmother's mother, Han Shi, in Xifu, Huo Sijin's mind has changed.
What's the use of being cautious and cautious, in exchange for the disdain of others.
In the eyes of others, she is just a motherless daughter who has no one to take care of, she is not as good as Huo Zhi and Huo Rong who are favored by her grandmother, and she is not even as good as Huo Jiu, who was born in a merchant.
She has heard more than once that Huo Jiu has a sister Huo Da Niang who does not let her eyebrows, Huo Jiu was originally just an adopted son, but because Huo Lao and Huo Da Niang love him and spoil him, the Huo family and even Yongfeng dare not underestimate this Ninth Master, even the Yongji Temple opened the Hall of Merit so showy, the Huo family also let Huo Jiu come forward.
This is the difference between being valued and not being valued at home.
The government ordered Hao Yutong's mother, Mrs. Chai, to have a birthday, and Mrs. Feng really wanted to be friends with Mrs. Chai, but she couldn't wait for the invitation from the Hao family, but Huo Sijin was taken by Mrs. District to Mrs. Hao's house to celebrate Mrs. Chai's birthday.
It can be imagined how ugly Old Madam Feng's face was, and her aunt Huo Yuan spoke coldly in front of Huo Sijin.
Mama Yan told her to prepare a birthday gift for Mrs. Chai, which she embroidered for a few nights, embroidering a hundred different fonts of longevity, with good intentions.
Mama Yan was full of praise after seeing it, even if this birthday gift could not be the first place in the show, it could make Mrs. Chai have a deep impression of her.
But such a carefully prepared birthday gift was lost the day before the birthday celebration.
The people who can enter her house are all selected by Mama Yan, and it stands to reason that there will be no mistakes, but after all, these people are all from the East Mansion, not like Mama Cui, who has followed her since she was a child.
Bai Shoutu is gone, she can only temporarily hold Buddha's feet, go to the silver building to pick a ready-made Shou Tao distraction, it is conceivable, this in front of Mrs. Chai, who is a second-grade order, is not as good as other ladies embroidered by hand.
Huo Sijin looked at the birthday gifts of those ladies, whether it was embroidery or meaning, none of them could compare to her 100 longevity pictures.
Huo Sijin looked at everything coldly, and his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
In Dongfu, apart from her aunt Huo Yuan, who else would fight the idea of that hundred longevity picture.
Huo Yuan couldn't go, so he didn't want her to be in the limelight at the birthday banquet.
Huo Sijin sneered, she usually welcomes this aunt carefully, bowing low and making small, but in exchange for this!
Without a father, what is Huo Yuan's fatherless daughter from a stepfamily?
Since then, she has rarely gone to Huo Yuan again, except for the time when she meets in the morning and dusk.
Maybe it's because the picture of Baishou is a thief, or maybe Huo Yuan didn't like this niece who fell from the sky, Huo Sijin didn't go to her, and Huo Yuan didn't pay attention to Huo Sijin.
came and went, and the aunt and nephew, who were originally inseparable from Meng and Meng without separation, are now strangers.
When Mrs. Feng learned about it, she scolded Huo Sijin in her room for being cold and ungrateful.
After Huo Sijin heard about it, she didn't laugh angrily, she didn't understand what kindness Old Madam Feng and Huo Yuan had for her.
Sheng'en? Old Madam Feng was just her step-grandmother, and she was not related by blood; Raising grace? She grew up in Wanhua Temple, and she didn't use the Feng family to support her, besides, in this Huo family's East Mansion, her father Huo Jiang is the pillar, and she is the rightful master in this mansion.
Since then, Huo Sijin has become more and more inappropriate to Mrs. Feng and Huo Yuan, and recently even the morning and dusk have been spared, Mrs. Feng was very angry and asked her to go over to punish her, Huo Sijin asked people to close the courtyard door from the inside, and the stout woman sent by Mrs. Feng could only return in a huff.
When Huo Jiang came to greet Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Feng cried to Huo Jiang, saying that Huo Sijin was disrespectful to her and Huo Yuan, but to put it mildly, except that there was no morning and dusk recently, she couldn't say anything disrespectful.
Huo Jiang has always been respectful of this stepmother, and after listening to Mrs. Feng's accusation against Huo Sijin with a frown, he said in a deep voice: "Sister Jin is a woman, it is inconvenient for me to be a father, and I have to have Mrs. Lao to teach her strictly, and when I wait until the spring of next year, I will find a female gentleman to come over and teach her female morality." ”
As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Feng was half angry, Huo Jiang not only didn't care about her daughter, but let her, who was a grandmother, discipline her.
But she couldn't refute it, teaching her daughter was the responsibility of the woman in the back house, Huo Jiang's wife died, and in this back house, only her grandmother could take on this responsibility.
Old Madam Feng lay on the kang for a long time, then cheered up again and asked people to call Huo Sijin over.
This time, Huo Sijin came, but his expression was arrogant, and he didn't bow his head and admit his mistake at all.
Since then, Old Madam Feng simply ignored it, Huo Yuan pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, but Huo Sijin had a good time.
Just like now, she is sewing clothes and making heads, leaving Huo Yuan, who also received an invitation from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, aside.
Huo Yuan went to find Mrs. Feng, and also sewed clothes to make a face, Mrs. Feng was angry and gave Huo Yuan two hundred taels of silver, so Huo Yuan went to ask people privately to ask Huo Sijin what clothes he had sewn and what kind of face he had made, she thought that after the last Baishoutu incident, Huo Sijin's yard would not be splashed with water, but she didn't expect that she would soon find out the news.
Huo Sijin was going to wear a rose folding branch makeup gown, twenty-four Hunan skirts, and a peach-colored cloak on the outside, with a red gold rose on the head.
