Chapter 124: Qixi Festival
Xiuzhu couldn't help laughing, shook his head and walked away, but Dangui didn't know that her face had escaped a "hurt".
Just after midsummer, Li Miaoxian received a post from the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, inviting her to visit the lake together during the Qixi Festival, saying that she had already chartered the best painting boat in the entire imperial capital.
At the same time, Li Miaoyu, the second lady in the house, also received the invitation. At the same time, there were also several blank stickers that did not fill in the invitees.
As a solemn gesture, as soon as the concierge got the post, it was sent to Mrs. Gu, and when Mrs. Gu saw it, all the precious and important things were sent to Mrs. Tai.
When Li Miaoxian heard the news, almost everyone knew about it.
As soon as he walked out of the door of Xianfuju, Li Miaoxian quickly threw the red post to Xiuzhu as if he was burned.
Xiu Zhu took it, and when he saw the sign of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion on it, he "groaned" for no reason, and he still had to pretend that he didn't care in front of him. After opening it and reading it from the beginning, Xiu Zhu smiled and closed the post and held it in his hand, "It turned out that the Marquis of Ningyuan invited Miss Qixi Festival to play on the painting boat!" It couldn't have been better......"
Li Miaoxian said lightly: "Why didn't he invite me...... He also invited the second lady, and it is said that the few famous ladies and sons in the imperial capital are among the invitees......"
Oh, is that why she's upset?
"Moreover, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion also sent a few unsigned posts, Mrs. Tai meant one for Cousin He, and Mrs. Gu even asked for one for Cousin Xiao. The rest is only Cousin Qing, but he is in school, and he may not come back when the time comes......"
Xiu Zhu listened silently, I don't know what this has to do with her being unhappy?
If you are jealous, you shouldn't count He Yunqing as well; If not......
I heard her say carefully: "Actually, I usually don't want to go to a place with a lot of people, let alone a place like that." ”
"When it comes to talent, I'm not even as good as a folk woman like you, so why bother to drill into so many people!"
However, Mrs. Tai said that she had to go. But what's the problem? Ever since I came back from the palace, I knew that she had the intention of letting me get the eyes of that nobleman, so as to promote my parents and brothers. It would be nice if you could change me to a real money black gauze belt! ”
"If not, you won't ask me again and again about entering the palace; Now seeing that there is no hope on the side of the noble concubine, Ning Yuan Hou Shizi has rushed in like this, if she doesn't seize the opportunity, it won't be her. ”
These words were a little sharp, Xiuzhu was not easy to speak, so he just followed silently, listened, and after Li Miaoxian finished venting, he persuaded him softly.
Since receiving the post, the Anguo Mansion has been busy again, rushing to make new clothes and new jewelry for the four of them, and they are very busy.
Only Li Miaoxian seems lazy, and he sits in the yard every day except for school, and doesn't go anywhere.
On the contrary, He Yunjin came to their yard more and more diligently, like a good sister.
Xiao Yun also came once later, but he only stood and left. People are getting thinner and thinner day by day, and their little faces are plain and white, and they are even more pitiful.
On the day of the Qixi Festival, before it was dark, several young ladies from the Anguo Mansion dressed up in a new way, each took a maid and a servant woman to sit in a few cars, and went out of the mansion in a mighty way.
The Qixi Festival has a long history, and it is said to commemorate the most famous fairy love - the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
On that day, there is a place that is also called Daughter's Day. Both unmarried and married women in the boudoir have a wide variety of activities to participate in. But the most important thing is to "beg", to put it bluntly, it is more dexterous than anyone's hands.
Since this dynasty, the Qixi Festival has become a stage for boudoir women to show their talents.
At that time, all kinds of begging activities will be held on the boat, and the winning woman will often become famous and find a better in-law. Therefore, Mrs. Anguo and Mrs. Gu were so happy when they received the invitation, and they put a lot of effort into dressing them up.
Xiuzhu followed Li Miaoxian to the destination and jumped out of the car, there was already a sea of people outside, but fortunately, this year's organizers used a one-person-high cloth circle to create a small venue for the female dependents of various provinces to stop, so they were not squeezed in.
Li Miaoyu wore a bright red dress embroidered with golden peony flowers today, and she was graceful and luxurious, and her spirit was flying!
He Yunjin is dressed in a delicate yellow-green, which makes her delicate and soft, youthful and moving.
Among the young ladies, Xiao Yun is the oldest, fifteen years old, so she looks extraordinarily tall, and she picked out a lake-blue skirt, which looks very long and jade, and Tingting is curly.
However, although they were carefully dressed, when they met Li Miaoxian, who was casually wearing a homely light green dress, the three of them couldn't help but be overshadowed.
Fleur held her young lady's hand, feeling the admiration, envy, or jealousy from all directions, and at the same time, there was no unhappiness in her heart, and the smile on her face was bright and bright.
The bamboo cultivation that is also Li Miaoxian's maid is almost compared to the ground.
However, Xiuzhu didn't care.
Maybe she usually sees too many beauties, she is immune to this, only a decent smile on the corner of her mouth, half a step behind them.
As soon as Li Miaoxian and the others got out of the car, a well-dressed servant woman led them forward.
The boat stopped in the Suzaku River at this moment, and the servant woman led them all the way over.
This time, as Xiuzhu expected, He Yunqing never appeared. Xiao Yun, on the other hand, was surprisingly quiet, and from time to time he would show some nervous looks.
I don't know if Mrs. Gu knows that Xiao Yun was deliberately arranged to go to their He family. If she knew, would she have specially arranged for her to come out to "see the world"?
The Suzaku River is the largest river in the imperial capital, and at this time, there are many large and small boats parked on it.
The acacia trees on both sides of the river, which are all planted in one color, are now in bloom, and they are blooming one by one like crimson clouds, which is very beautiful.
When I got to the top of the painting boat, I looked at it from the water, and there was water in the flowers, and there were flowers in the water, so beautiful that people were in a trance, and they couldn't tell where they were.
Xiuzhu followed behind Li Miaoxian and the others, admiring and looking around.
The servant woman introduced to them that this is the douqin area, this is the painting, and this is the tea and fruit of the young ladies, and this is ......
Xiuzhu memorized them one by one, and at the same time drew a floor plan in his mind. I don't know why, her heart has been very worried, and her eyelids have been jumping, as if something important is about to happen......
