Chapter Twenty-Six: The Pear Blossom Feast
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the pear blossom banquet in Cui Envoy's Mansion.
The silver cloves given by Aunt Liu, He Zhichun didn't dare to use them, but they were pressed into the bottom of the box, there was no problem, the two of them were daughters in law who wore the jewelry given by their aunt, and the Wang family knew about it, and they didn't know how to rub them, more than one thing is better than one less.
This early in the morning, He Zhichun and He Zhiqiu changed into the spring shirt that Wang asked Min Niangzi to make this year, He Zhichun is peach pink, He Zhiqiu is willow green, and the butterfly wearing flowers is embroidered on the top, and at first glance it is the two sisters.
Xu is Min Niangzi knew that the two of them had no accessories, and deliberately matched two pairs of silk flowers of the same color, which were inserted on their heads, which was very flattering.
They are well-born, they are young, and they don't need any rouge gouache, and they already have a vigorous beauty.
He Zhichun looked at He Zhiqiu's double bun, frowned, always felt that something was missing, and looked into the embroidered luo, then his eyes lit up, picked up the two ribbons she had just embroidered, tied them in the bun, and hung down.
He Zhiqiu looked in the mirror and patted his face, his eyes were full of worry, "Sister, in the past, we just went to the banquet, and we all went to the banquet of the local people in Yuezhou, this Cui Yuanjun family is from the Northland, I don't know what the rules are, in case we commit any taboos......"
He Zhichun patted her head, "At a young age, how can you think so much, we are just eight-year-old girls, we have made a mistake, and when you are looking for a son-in-law, it will already be a passing moment, what's the big deal." Besides, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Cui Yuanjun's flower banquet is not only designated by our Southern Barbarian. ”
When she first married into the Cui family, she made a lot of jokes, and she survived because she was thick-skinned, and she slapped her face one by one, who didn't have a time when she made a mistake?
When the two sisters arrived at the door, He Yu and He Zhishu, He Zhili, and He Zhiyi were all dressed up and waiting outside.
The three brothers are all somewhat similar to He Yu, if you talk about appearance, it should be He Zhili is the most prosperous, he was born with red lips and white teeth, eyebrows and eyes, a mouth as if smeared with honey, if born in a powerful family, it should be a few wandering sons; If he was born in a poor family, he was most likely sold to the Chu Pavilion as a small man.
Fortunately, he was born in the He family. He Zhichun looked at him, thinking wildly, so that He Zhili couldn't help but take a step back.
"This red is really called my Ah Qiao, in the entire Yuezhou City, I can't find a more handsome little lady than Ah Qiao." He Yu said, greeted He Zhichun, and smiled happily.
He Zhichun was ashamed by what he said...... In He Yu's eyes, the whole Daqing can't find a prettier little lady than her. "Daddy, this is called peach powder!"
He Yu smiled and touched the back of his head, "Aren't they all red, what kind of peach pink pink and red water red and silver red can be distinguished by your little lady's eyes." ”
He said, with a look of honor, as if the eyes of others are stones, and He Zhichun's eyes are pearls.
The people of the He family were not surprised.
He Zhishu still had a gloomy face, and when he saw He Zhiqiu coming, he pulled out a strange smile at her, and then glanced at He Zhichun again, but did not speak.
He Zhiyi wore a blue embroidered bamboo robe, no matter what time it was, he was a comfortable and complacent look, and he became a style of his own. He walked over, stuffed a brocade bag into He Zhichun and He Zhiqiu's hands, and said with a smile: "A little copper, put it away, if you need to give a reward, take it out." ”
As he spoke, he blinked his eyes.
He Zhichun understood, quickly stuffed the bag into his sleeve pocket, and looked at the door, Wang's family, He Zhile, and He Meiniang had not yet come.
He Zhiyi looked at He Zhichun's face, dragged her aside, and said seriously: "Ah Qiao, if you meet Cui Jiu at the banquet today, don't get involved with him anymore." It's Brother who worked hard to get the top prize, and your identity is very different from him, the door is not the right one, if there are any rumors, he Cui Jiu just has one more beautiful concubine, but Ah Qiao, you will never turn over. DID YOU KNOW? ”
He Zhichun nodded, "I know Brother." I'm only eight years old. ”
He Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and hung her nose affectionately, "Ah Qiao is smart, it's good to know." Brother feels that he has a chance to solve the exam this year, if he can be admitted, he wants to go to Guozijian next year, Yuezhou is too young after all! Daddy didn't agree before, but thanks to Ah Qiao's blessing, Daddy responded again. ”
He Zhiyi said, looking at the sky.
Yuezhou is not prosperous, and the Daqing imperial examination is not only required to be well written, but you also have to be famous, and you must become a famous teacher and become a celebrity.
He Zhichun was confused, she didn't know what this had to do with her, He Zhiyi was indeed a young genius, after this test, he didn't want to go, the mountain chief of Yuezhou Academy would also let him write a letter of recommendation and let him go to Chang'an, this was the case in his previous life, He Zhiyi had smooth sailing in his career, if he hadn't been implicated by He Yu, he should have a good future.
After a while, I saw He Zhile and He Meiniang holding hands, talking and laughing. He Zhirong followed behind.
He Zhile wore a goose-yellow full-breasted skirt, although she was petite, but she was graceful and tight, revealing her snow-white neck, and the most ingenious thing was that on the light veil held between her hands, there were shallow pear blossoms embroidered, which was exactly the name of today's pear blossom banquet.
On top of her jet-black flowing cloud bun, there are three gilt hollow begonia hairpins, and the golden wisps hang down, although her steps, swaying and shaking, are particularly moving.
When she saw He Yu, she called out coquettishly: "Father." ”
He Yu nodded at her, "Since they're all here, let's get into the carriage quickly." ”
He Mansion and Cui Envoy Jun's Mansion are actually not far apart, but if this kind of flower banquet little lady comes to the door on foot, it will inevitably make people laugh. So Wang led the little ladies into the carriage. The Yuan Pozi beside her and Jin Bi next to He Zhile jumped in front of the car.
The men followed the carriage over.
In the whole carriage, the atmosphere is really a little weird, without him, He Zhile is dressed too ostentatiously, but it is entrusted to He Zhichun's sisters to be a little shabby, Wang himself looked at it, and also felt that it was a little inappropriate, if this continues, the reputation will be ruined.
But she looked at the new gold bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, and she was reluctant to take it off and put it on Sister He Zhichun. This is a new style in Lao Fengxiang, circle by circle, very dazzling.
"He Erlang, are you going to a banquet? Don't forget to promise to paint a small portrait of the slave. ”
"Erlang, Nu Xin made pear blossom candy, you can taste it." He Zhichun listened to the sound outside the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at it, and was immediately happy, only to see the little lady shyly stuffing the small jar in her hand into He Zhili's arms.
He Zhili winked at her and smiled, the little lady had already covered her face with her hands, lifted the curtain and rushed into the house.
He Zhichun looked at He Yu's face, and sure enough, it was already iron-green, if there were thorns in his hands, he couldn't wait to go up and smoke this embarrassing thing to death!
