056 Girl's Gift
Because it is to give Yu's birthday, it must not be too plain, and Rui'er took a set of newly sewn smoky jacket and pants for Liuli to wear, covered with a silver satin with white fur trim waist long vest, and two small hairpins on his head.
Liuli found a small wooden box to pack the golden butterfly and stuffed it into her sleeve.
Mama Li actually got up early, and after Liuli drank the cold soup to warm up, she also yawned and pushed the door in.
"Mama wakes up early today." Rui'er saw that Liuli lowered her head and straightened the placket of her clothes and ignored her, afraid that something would happen to her again, so she reluctantly said hello.
Mama Li said: "Today, I will accompany the girl to the front yard, and you stay in the house." β
At this time, even Liuli raised his head, "You go?" β
Mama Li twitched her eyelids and said, "I am your teaching mama, so naturally I should be by the side at any time!" Today is the birthday of the eldest lady, in case you don't understand the rules and lose any courtesy, wouldn't it be bad luck for the lady! β
Liuli looked at her for a while and said with a smile: "Okay." β
Mama Li snorted and turned out to wash. Rui'er was a little worried, her hands twisted back and forth, and Liuli said: "It's okay if you don't go, my handwriting should have been framed, you take the opportunity to get it back." β
Rui'er had no choice but to respond.
After Mama Li finished washing, Liuli set off with her to the front yard. Before dawn, there were people in the corridors of each courtyard who were turning off the lights, stamping their hands and feet one by one, and exhaling a mouthful of white steam.
The gate of the main courtyard was already open, and the maids were coming in and out, apparently waiting for the old lady to get up. Liuli is never the earliest one to arrive, nor the latest one, bypassing the shadow wall on the verandah, met three or four maids accompanied by a person, two phoenix tail hairpins obliquely inserted on the fallen horse bun, and the next rabbit is inlaid with blue sapphire on the black background, with pink peach cheeks, graceful and luxurious, but the colorful dark pattern cloud brocade jacket on the body is slightly loose, and one hand is lightly supporting the waist. It's a bit laid-back.
Liuli recognized this as He Tingyu's daughter-in-law and grandmother Xie. Hurriedly dodge two steps to the side, waiting for her to go first. Unexpectedly, when Mama Li saw her, she greeted her with a smile: "Yo, grandma is also here today, you can watch your steps carefully!" β
Seeing that she was about to reach out to help, a woman on the left side of the Xie family slapped her hand down: "What are you doing?" Can you touch grandma's body casually? Something went wrong with the little brother in the belly, can you afford it! β
Mama Li was robbed of white by her, and her old face suddenly turned purple.
Xie squinted at her and walked straight away.
Liuli smiled and walked to Mama Li's side: "Let's go!" β
Because the two young grandmothers in the house were pregnant one after another, they were exempted from going to the main courtyard on the twenty-fifth day of the first month to ask for peace, and now the Xie family is here. The second grandmother, Wang, must have also come.
Liuli deliberately fell behind, and waited for Xie to enter the main room. then slowly walked to the door and asked Mama Li to open the curtain.
The second grandmother really came, and she was enthusiastic when she saw Xie, and when she finished the ceremony, she greeted her with a big belly. The ladies of the long room came, the second room came to the Liang family, the Wang family and Shuhua family, the third room came to the Ning family, the Liu family and Huanhua, and the fourth room came to the Nie family. Even Mrs. He, the two old aunts who don't go out all year round, also came to join in.
Yu's is a dress today, the head of the black velvet inlaid with eight treasures of jadeite large forehead, a single screw bun inserted in the middle of a branch of red jade drop beads crested gold step shake, on the left is a point of emerald inlaid pearls Sui Han Sanyou hair hairpin, on the right is a red plum gold silk hollow bead flower, and two gold silk pinched enamel Huasheng.
On the earlobe is a pair of Dongzhu, and on the body is a palace brocade jacket, covered in pearls and emeralds, which is indescribably expensive. He was rolling up his sleeves and giving the old lady a handkerchief. Nie Shi said on the side: "You are the birthday star today." Don't labor you! Just grab one from your long room and go on an errand! With a smile, he pulled Aunt Su out from behind her.
Aunt Su smiled: "Of course! Aunt Chen and I were originally discussing going to wait for Mrs. to get up this morning, but I didn't expect that Mrs. would come to the main courtyard earlier than us, but we were in vain! β
Liuli looked at her, obviously she had a good foundation, but today she only added two more pieces of jewelry than usual, changed into a scarlet pomegranate skirt, and her makeup was still light, standing next to Yu, it was easy to see the high and low. However, Su Hua's biological mother, Aunt Chen, was much more colorful in makeup, and when she heard Aunt Su say this, she also rolled up the sleeves of the red embroidered jacket, and smiled and wanted to beat her. The old lady looked at Biyun with a smile, and Biyun then helped Aunt Chen's arms to sit down with her, and said with a smile: "My aunt, you can sit with your wife for the rest of your life, if you really work all the people in the long house, wouldn't we be guilty?" β
Yu smiled and looked at Aunt Chen, and hugged her three-year-old eldest sister Ruimin to feed her almonds.
Liuli stepped forward to say goodbye, and Yu hummed as usual, and stopped paying attention to her.
Mama Li received the white eyes of the Xie family just now, and she was much more restrained, and when the glass came down, she stepped forward and saluted: "The old slave congratulates the eldest lady on her long life!" β
Before Yu could speak, Nie, who had finished serving the old lady, came over: "Mama Li is a guest of Yuwang's Mansion, come and serve tea to Mama!" β
In front of the old lady, she dared to send a message to serve tea to a servant, but the old lady and the Yu family both laughed, and they didn't take it seriously, and turned their attention elsewhere in a blink of an eye. On the contrary, Biyun urged narrowness, turned around and called the little maid to make tea, and presented it to Mama Li with her own hands: "Who is Mama?" That's a person who can speak well in Yuwangfu, and he deserves our bowl of tea! β
Although it was a joke, Mama Li half-pushed and half-pushed, and her face couldn't help but glow red! The maids next to them saw Biyun rising, and they also coaxed one after another, making the main room of the cold winter wax moon steaming.
Su Hua clapped his hands and laughed heartlessly, Yuhua looked at it coldly, and spit out a sentence: "Cheap billets are cheap billets everywhere!" "I don't know who I mean.
The absentees in the play gradually arrived, and Liuli paid special attention to the Qi family, I don't know what kind of mentality she would have to attend on such a day with the Yu family as the protagonist? Although she lives far away in the back garden, she has also heard about how people secretly speculate about the death of Cui Tian and the others, and now it is the Yu family who bears Cui Ying's life, and Tian'er's death is planted on the Qi family. Liuli is still inclined to Tian'er was killed by the Qi family, because after Rui'er confessed that Tian'er smashed and injured her, the Yu family became the biggest suspect, and at this time, Tian'er's death will inevitably create the illusion that the Yu family killed people and killed their mouths, and who else will this person have besides the Qi family?
However, Qi's performance after his arrival made Liuli admire, not that she put a lot of thought into dressing up today, but seeing that Yu's didn't have the slightest sign of being obsessed with the past, if she was also like Aunt Chen, it would be fine, in fact, not only was she not angry or smiling, but she was the same as her usual light appearance - this is rare, a person can pretend to be this kind of indisputable situation, it will never be a simple foot.
After the people arrived, they began to congratulate the birthday of the birthday star, and the mothers of the houseowners did not get up, and called the maids to offer birthday gifts, and then the young masters went up to congratulate the birthday first, and the red sleeves had already prepared a reward, and Cai Qin was on the side to give a reward.
The eldest aunt and grandmother Wanhua also sent a birthday post, Yuhua took it to read, Yu's rewarded the person, and let him bring a return gift.
And then there are the girls in the house.
In addition to the congratulatory gifts from the aunts, as Rui'er inquired, Min Hua made a plate of longevity peaches and a plate of longevity cakes, Suhua was a string of sandalwood hand beads worn by hand, Shuhua and Zhenhua made a pair of brocade pillows, and Yanhua made a pair of embroidered shoes. Yuhua didn't know what to send, so he didn't take it out in public. In short, the Yu family was very happy, and even the maid who presented it received a reward for each person.
On the ranking soon arrived in Huanhua, this is the first time she has seen her after she has recovered from her illness, after carefully dressing up, her spirit is still good, and her complexion has recovered, but if you look closely, there is a little sadness in her eyebrows and eyes, not as energetic as when she first met.
She also glanced at Liuli when she walked over, but her eyes quickly moved away, and when she came to Yu's side, she lifted her skirt and knelt down, and said, "Huan'er wishes the eldest aunt a blessing like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan!" Recently, I learned to paint, made a sub-group fan, and painted the birthday boy picking peaches, please accept the aunt. β
Cai Ping presented the fan, in Liuli's opinion, it can only be regarded as passable, not very good, but Yu smiled and took it, looked at it repeatedly, and praised: "Huan'er's painting skills can grow, very good!" "Make an exception and ask Red Sleeves to reward two pieces of money, which is more different than the maids around other girls.
Liuli went to see the Qi family, and saw that she was still the same as the cloudy and breezy appearance, and it seemed that Huanhua's respect for the Yu family was very natural. If it weren't for the Liang family's Nie family, who was also silently looking at the performance of the two, Liuli would almost think that it was someone else who had a red face in the small gourd courtyard not long ago!
After Huanhua, he went to Liuli, and everyone looked at it tacitly, waiting to see what kind of performance this new nine girls had. Liuli knelt down and said a congratulatory speech, and after a slight pause, she took out a two-inch square wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Mama Li. Mama Li pouted after taking it: "I don't expect a reward!" β
Walked in front of Yu Shi and handed over the wooden box, and when he saw the lantern-like lights of the people around him, he felt embarrassed, and said to Yu Shi with a shy smile: "The idea that the ninth girl took herself, if she discussed it with the old slaveββ"
Before she finished speaking, she heard the noise around her, and looked at it, it turned out that Yu had already opened the box and taken out the things inside.
This look almost blinded her old eyes!
What came out of the wooden box was actually a golden butterfly half the size of a palm! This golden butterfly is very exquisitely made, the whole is made of gold wire the size of a hair, and the wings are decorated with many small rubies, and the two eyes are embellished with two sapphires the size of mung beans.
In terms of value, such a congratulatory gift is enough to worship her ten birthdays.
Yu's eyes flashed with disbelief like everyone else, it's not that he hasn't seen good things, but this kind of good things shouldn't appear in the hands of an illegitimate daughter. She lifted this Huasheng up and asked Liuli, "Where did you come from?" β
