Chapter 6 Preparations for the Banquet
After months of busy preparations, the chrysanthemum appreciation conference finally arrived in the expectation of tens of thousands of people.
In previous years, Tongwentang was a palace exam, but this year, in order to cater to the chrysanthemum appreciation conference, the exam was turned into a fighting talent. Anyone who is talented can go to the stage to give it a try, so that people from all over the world can see the knowledge and talent of the seniors of Tongwentang.
In addition to changing the palace exam into a ring competition, it is also a mix of men and women, in previous years, the exams in Tongwentang were separated from men and women, but this year, it is men and women fighting on the same stage, whether it is poetry and songs, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or horseback archery, as long as you have the strength to participate.
Early in the morning, Su Fu was even more busy.
In Cuifeng Garden, Luluo combed Su Yiyao's hair early on, and carefully inserted the jade hairpin she bought into the bun, and said with a smile: "Miss, your hair is combed." ”
Su Yiyao looked at the mirror and was also very satisfied, pothos's hands have always been skillful, and combing her hair is the best, she remembered that Su Ningfu had asked herself for pothos more than once in her previous life, but fortunately she didn't give her pothos in a daze.
Su Yiyao's hair is extremely soft and extraordinarily black and shiny, and she was combed into a beautiful flying star moon bun by the green pothos, which is elegant and generous, and reveals the liveliness of some girls.
Su Yiyao has been combing her hair like a maid in the house since she was a child, and now she has changed her style, she looks like she has a different flavor, and even her face seems to be delicate and graceful, I feel sorry for her.
"Our young lady is really getting better and better, this body is really beautiful." Bai Zhi slowly tidied up the hem of Su Yiyao's skirt: "It's just that this head looks too plain, only this jade hairpin ......"
Indeed, the hairpin was stuck alone on the head, which was a bit too shabby.
Green Pothos couldn't help but be indignant: "Our house is also a big business, but our young lady doesn't have a piece of jewelry, the old lady is tired of running around all the year round, but they treat the young lady like this, you look at the jewelry sent by Aunt Zhao, I'm afraid that the girls in their room are not uncommon." ”
The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but throw the comb in her hand on the table with a snap.
Su Yiyao glanced at her funny, this girl, the bigger her temper, she can't go out so open-mouthed.
From childhood to adulthood, the old lady and Aunt Zhao have always treated themselves like this, they just want outsiders to know that Miss Sufu is just a layman who loves gold and silver.
Besides, Su Yiyao did love those jewelry before, so it's no wonder that others think she is cheesy.
Bai Zhi glared at the pothos, is it really a pot that can't be opened, and she is not afraid of causing the young lady to be sad? Lu Luo understood, stuck out her tongue weakly, and quickly changed the topic, saying: "If you want to talk about the craftsmanship of this ink girl, I really don't want to say it, our young lady's clothes are really beautiful." ”
Mo Niang may also pity Su Yiyao, the concubine, is really miserable, the dress sent is surprisingly delicate and good-looking, the lotus blue is already old-fashioned, Mo Niang embroidered clusters of begonia flowers at the hem of the skirt, lifelike, a large piece of openness, the liveliness and shyness of the girl on her body are vividly and vividly, it is really beautiful.
This dress also fits extraordinarily, and when Su Yiyao wears it, it adds a beautiful gesture of her daughter's family.
Bai Zhi and Luluo glanced at each other, they both felt strange, in the past, Miss loved those colorful and childish clothes more, but now, this dress is worn on the body, it makes people feel that there is no inappropriate place, when did Miss's momentum become so strong?
"Let's go." Su Yiyao's voice did not have a trace of waves, "Don't let people wait for a long time"
As soon as I got out of the yard, passing by the garden, I was a little ahead, Su Yiyao remembered something, so she turned back again, the begonia flowers in the garden were in full bloom, Su Yiyao reached out and pinched a small one, raised her hand and pulled it into the bun, and suddenly the whole person became bright.
"Miss, you look so good today!" Bai Zhi couldn't help but admire.
While talking, Mama Qin came in with a small food box, she had come to bring Su Yiyao some snacks in the carriage, and after seeing Su Yiyao, she was really startled.
She watched Su Yiyao grow up since she was a child, and she knew Su Yiyao's temperament clearly, but when she saw it today, she felt that today's Su Yiyao was very unfamiliar.
Su Yiyao's temperament today is calm and steady, and the lotus blue is already old-fashioned, but now when she wears it on Su Yiyao, it looks indescribably noble. Mama Qin stumbled and almost dropped the food box in her hand.
Su Yiyao couldn't help frowning, her expression was dark, and finally she said with a smile: "Mama Qin, what's wrong, why can't you even hold the food box steadily." ”
Mama Qin was stunned for a moment, and habitually wanted to say a few words of compliment, but remembered that today was a chrysanthemum appreciation conference, and the eldest lady was dressed so outstandingly, it would not be good to suppress the limelight of the second lady.
So, she pretended to be anxious: "Oops! My little ancestor, why are you dressed so old-fashioned, this lotus blue is too heavy, Miss is not suitable to wear, or Angelica pothos, go and bring the red dress with embroidered magpies and change it for Miss, and this headdress, didn't the second lady give a lot, take it to Miss and put it on, don't let outsiders laugh at it. ”
Bai Zhi's eyes widened speechlessly, the red dress was given by the second lady, the color was already gorgeous, if she wore those gold, silver and jewelry again, the young lady would be laughed at when she went out!
Although this Mama Qin is the nurse of the young lady, she has always gasped for breath in the same nostril with the second lady, and she doesn't expect the young lady to be good at all.
Bai Zhi was about to refute, when she heard Su Yiyao's cold voice: "If the country is peaceful today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the emperor has always advocated the prevailing style of frugality, and my father is an important minister of the court, our family members naturally have to lead by example, just be simple, others will only say that our Su Mansion is honest and honest, how can we laugh at it!" Su Yiyao looked at her fixedly: "What's more, today's chrysanthemum appreciation is the day of the exam, what does it have to do with the dress." ”
Mama Qin was stunned by what she said, obviously Su Yiyao's voice was still the same as before, but she couldn't find a place to refute, she was speechless for a while, not that she was afraid of Su Yiyao, but she just felt strange, the eldest lady has been a straw bag since she was a child, when can she tell such a big truth, but the person who said every word was speechless.
Mama Qin raised her head and saw that Bai Zhi and Luluo were covering their mouths and chuckling, and she was even more annoyed, so she stuffed the food box into Luluo's hand: "It's good to take it, don't be hungry on the road." After saying that, he walked away in embarrassment.
Bai Zhi and Luluo couldn't help but be happy when they saw Mama Qin leaving so embarrassed, now that Miss finally has the appearance of a master, she will not be bullied in the future.
Su Yiyao walked to the door, only to see two carriages parked at the door, the first one was ready to leave, but the second car was empty.
And Su Ningfu's girl, Huashuang, stood in front of the first carriage.
