Chapter 8
Ah Yan shook his head with a smile.
"Not necessarily, my mother always dresses too luxuriously, but it may not be suitable for my mother, but I want to try this, maybe it will be unexpected. ”
When the third wife saw her daughter looking at her with a smile on her face, her heart moved, so she picked up the dress and hid in the warm pavilion to change it.
When they came out, Tingyu and Xiqing's eyes lit up, and they praised with a smile:
"My wife looks good in this outfit. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the cover of the floor-to-ceiling floral bronze mirror and showed it to the third wife.
The third wife saw herself in the mirror, but saw that the crimson jacket was more and more reflective of her melon seed face. Although he is old now, he is not as delicate as before, but there is a beauty in the end. And the floral sprinkle skirt below, swaggering, reflects the waist neatly and neatly, and there is a bit of elegant beauty.
Her eyes were also shining, and she looked at it for a while, but she was a little embarrassed:
"I'm afraid it's okay to wear it like this, right?"
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and in the end, she is the identity of the deceased, and she is dressed like this, so she doesn't have to make people laugh.
Who knew that there was no need for Ah Yan to say it this time, and the people on the side listened to the rain and said:
"Third wife, according to the rain, it is excellent to wear it like this. Although it is like a girl's family for our third wife, looking at this whole body, it is actually extremely elegant, and it is the most suitable for the third wife to wear. ”
The third lady still didn't believe it, and looked at Xiqing again, and Xiqing naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
At this time, he saw Ah Yan bring a white fox fur cloak from the side, and said with a smile:
"If it's cold outside, my mother will deserve this. ”
The third lady looked down at the skirt on her body, and then at the white fox fur cloak, and suddenly felt that if she wore it like this, it would be extremely brilliant.
Seeing this, Ah Yan smiled, and casually talked to his mother about tomorrow. In fact, I want to teach my mother some things that I should pay attention to tomorrow, but this is really strange. Only mothers have ever taught their daughters, and where there are daughters who teach their mothers, they can only give up at the moment.
When I thought about it for a while, I smiled lightly:
"Mother, why don't you invite Xixi in the house at these times?"
Ah Yan actually wanted to ask all the time, she remembered that the Guogong Mansion would invite Xixi, and at that time, not only these girls in the mansion, but also other people of the same clan and clan, who were of the right age, could come to study at home.
Now that the rebirth has come these days, Ayan and several sisters don't seem to have to go to home school every day, Ayan recalled, but he didn't remember anything special this year.
"You kid, you must be afraid of going to school, so you deliberately asked this. I heard that it was cold this year, and the ancestors were afraid that the girls would be frozen, so they said that they should start classes later, but it was only this month, and you would be miserable at that time. Hearing her daughter ask, the third lady smiled and nodded Ah Yan's forehead.
When Ah Yan heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was an unlearned person in her previous life, but in this life, she is determined to make up for it.
Whether you want to marry Shen Congjia or other men, you can't be a straw bag anymore, you have to cultivate both inside and outside.
She remembered that maybe she should ask her mother to invite a few nurturing grandmothers for herself, and also practice posture etiquette. However, I knew in my heart that it would be too eye-catching to make such a request at first glance, so I had to endure it for the time being, and it would not be too late to wait until my family's situation in the house improved.
Early the next morning, Ayan was called up.
Still a little sleepy, Ah Yan rubbed his eyes uncomfortably. In fact, in her last life, after experiencing so many vicissitudes of the back house, she almost couldn't sleep all night, staring out the window tormentedly every night, sometimes even until dawn.
Now that I am back when I was a child, when I see my mother and brother, my heart is warm, my mood has changed, and my whole person is relaxed. And then the nine-year-old body still needs sleep, she can get a good night's sleep every night, and it is difficult to get up in the morning.
At this time, Xiqing had already entered the house with a few little maids, and looked at Ayan with a smile:
"Girl, it's a warm day today, so it's just right to go out. ”
A few little maids took copper basins, Song Jiang white towels, sea beast grape mirrors and other things in their hands, and Xiqing helped Ah Yan pull up the sleeves of her middle shirt, and took a big handkerchief around her neck, covering the placket in front of her, and then reached out to help her bathe in the basin. After bathing, put on the skirt that has been prepared for her.
But it is a jacket with an apricot yellow bottom and a flower, and then a rose-colored gold and silver mouse shoulder gown, and a white folded silk cotton skirt below.
Xiqing helped her get dressed, walked two steps away and looked at it, and smiled herself:
"The girl was born well, and although she is not new when she wears this body, she is not afraid of being compared to others in the end. ”
Ah Yan looked at the bronze mirror, looking at his own skin in the bronze mirror, as well as the eyes that seemed to contain a puddle of water, and the red little lips, he felt satisfied, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
She deliberately chose such a dress that not only matches her beauty, but is not too ostentatious to wear.
At this time, Xiqing had already moved the makeup box and wanted to comb Ah Yan's hair, but because she was young, she only combed a double bun. Xiqing stroked the soft black hair and sighed: "The girl's hair is really incomparable." ”
Ah Yan listened, but he was stunned, and remembered his previous life in a trance, didn't Shen Congjia also love his own green silk?
It's just that if you love it, in the end, it's not still in the backyard, don't go to watch it again.
After combing Ah Yan's hair, Xiqing began to apply fat powder to Ah Yan. In fact, it was a child in the end, so much so that he didn't need to be smeared too much, but he lost his true color, and now he just lightly smeared his eyebrows with mule ink, just because Ayan's eyebrows were too light. I also applied my lips with colorless ointment, which made the lips even more red and delicate, with a slight luster.
After applying these, Xiqing carefully checked Ah Yan's fingernails again, the ten fingers were like peeling onions, and the ten red spots on the fingertips were pink and tender, not the kind of red that was too showy, but red with powder.
This is the impatiens planted in the backyard before, wrapped in hemp leaves and dyed, the impatiens are light in color, dyed into nails, and they are actually pink and tender, which is lined with Ayan's hands like shaving onions.
After finishing the makeup, the little maid on the side put on her clothes and boots, and Xiqing helped Ah Yan put on the gold and silver silk flowing sheepskin boots, wearing a cloud fei makeup satin woven colorful flowers and flying butterfly brocade robe, and a brocade fur cloak on the outside.
Looking at Ah Yan with satisfaction, Xiqing finally put on a green and shining gold Sihe Ruyi silk for Ah Yan, took a Guanyin pocket in his hand, and said:
"If it's cold outside, put it on again. ”
Ah Yan endured it for so long, and finally got dressed, so she hurried out of the house and ran to her mother's house, only to see that her mother had also dressed up, and it was as good as she expected.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and finally the third wife also looked at her daughter with a smile:
"My Ayan is getting better and better. ”
At this time, the fourth young master Gu Song also came, and he came to the third wife's room for breakfast together, and when he saw his sister-in-law, he couldn't help but step forward and exclaimed:
"Ah Yan, today looks better than usual!"
Ayan condensed to his brother.
"Could it be that it didn't look good in the past?"
Gu Song suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he was busy slapping himself in the face.
"It's already good-looking, but it's only because my brother has no eyes!"
When he did this, the third wife also smiled and hurriedly beckoned her children to dinner.
At this time, Tingyu had already ordered people to put all kinds of food boxes on the table, but it was gold and silver scorched peony cakes, sprinklers, corn porridge, and a few plates of side dishes, all of which were chosen to eat tasteless and gasless, so as not to go out and make people laugh.
When the family sat down, they ate it, and the Qing and the rain naturally came forward to serve, handing the spoon and spoon.
Ah Yan looked back at Xiqing, and said:
"Mother, Xiqing and Tingyu will also follow us, wait for the time to hurry, I'm afraid the two of them don't even have the time to eat. Why don't you let them go down first and eat some too? ”
Thinking about it, the third lady smiled and said:
"I'm not as thoughtful as you think. ”
As he spoke, he swept to the side of a few maids, named Hiding Smoke, Xue Drunk, Fuyue and Mo Lan, all of whom were thirteen or fourteen years old, and were second-class maids slightly lower than Xiqing and Tingxue.
"Hide from the smoke, you first help to spread the remaining peony cakes and corn porridge, and move them to your Tingyu and Xiqing's sister's room, let them eat, and you will serve here. The third lady said with a smile.
Listening to the rain and Xiqing, it was slightly flustered, but the two of them served in front of them every day, and they did serve the master after eating, and they had to go out in a hurry, and it would be good to be able to put something in their mouths during this time. Now I never thought that the three girls would be able to sympathize with themselves.
Slightly blessed, listening to Yu and Xiqing didn't say much, just said:
"Thank you for the third wife, thank you for the fourth girl. ”
After saying this, he also went to the inverted room where the servants lived, and hurried to eat.
"My sister is really getting more and more sensible. Gu Song grinned, baring his white teeth, and looked at his sister with a smile.
Raising his hand and glancing at his brother, he held the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly:
"My sister is sensible, and my brother should learn a little too. ”
This light and faint sentence made Gu Song's heart suddenly.
In fact, although he is a bastard, the little guy around him is not casual, and who has not heard a few gossip and gossip.
He also knew that his mother and sister had been tortured in the ancestral house, but how to deal with such things, he was still a little at a loss at the age of thirteen.
Before that, he only knew that his mother had money to squander, and whenever someone followed him in the homeschool, he also enjoyed the flattery of others, formed gangs, and bullied the weak.
It's just that the events of the past few days have reached his ears, making him suddenly understand that he and the three brothers above may actually be a little different.
When Ah Yan was full, he put down the chopstick, swept his brother Gu Song lightly, and saw him stunned there with his head down, not knowing what to think.
There was a sigh for a while.
To tell the truth, this brother is indeed a bit of a bastard, and later followed the eldest young master, learned some cockfighting, lackeys, kicking balloons, and even the bastard things of going to the kiln and walking the Zhangtai, which made his mother cry less. But this brother is actually clumsy and sincere.
After he got married, when everything was unsatisfactory, he went to Shen Congjia for trouble, and the method he used was to beat Shen Congjia with a blue nose and swollen face.
When he wanted to subsidize him with his own money, he flatly refused, but ran over by himself and followed people everywhere to learn business.
The Xiqing who was considerate and meticulous to him was gone, he only had one who seemed to be gentle and obedient, but in fact he was insidious and mean inside, and he didn't know that he cared for his wife, and he was haggard and embarrassed.
