Chapter 50: Fireworks (I)
"No, no." Outside the flower hall, there was the sound of Mother Du's laughter and groaning, "Miss Qiao was looking at the lights just now, and she walked slowly." It's not coming! ”
With her voice in mind, a woman walked in with a blank expression.
With snow-white skin and soft facial features, it is not who Qiao Lianfang is.
"Lotus Room!" Mrs. Qiao's face was pale, "It's about to start, where did you go?" Sit down with the sisters! Then as if he had seen something, his expression was stunned, his eyes were full of confusion, and his face showed a little different color, "Lianfang, why did you change ......?"
"Alright, alright." Mrs. Tai suddenly interrupted Mrs. Qiao's words with a smile, "Just let the people come." Mrs. Joe said less. He smiled and said to Lianfang, "Come, sit beside me, so as not to be nagged by your aunt." ”
Everyone was stunned.
I didn't expect Qiao Lianfang to win the favor of Mrs. Tai.
Some people show envy, some people show jealousy, some people show surprise, some people show bewilderment, and they suddenly became the target of everyone...... Qiao Lianfang didn't expect it herself, her face was shocked, and she looked at Mrs. Tai for a long time without saying anything.
Surprise flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, and she hurriedly pushed Qiao Lianfang: "Why don't you go and accompany Mrs. Qiao." ”
Qiao Lianfang was pushed by Mrs. Qiao and staggered, and with a somewhat stunned "oh", she walked to Mrs. Tai's side.
In the bright light, Eleven Niang found that the color of Qiao Lianfang's skirt was darker than that of other places......
She was thoughtful.
The third lady over there had already come back to her senses, and she was busy adding a brocade to the corner of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Huang, but she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Lianfang.
Qiao Lianfang sat between the two like a child.
Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Let's start the table!" It's not too early, and everyone will have to watch the fireworks later! After speaking, he got up and raised the wine cup: "You are all rare guests, I will drink this cup first." As he spoke, he raised his hand and drank it all.
Several ladies all responded with a tongue, and replied one after another with a wine cup. Several grandmothers followed suit, and the ladies symbolically raised their teacups and took a sip each. Mrs. Tai smiled and picked up the chopsticks.
Everyone raised their chopsticks, and the banquet began.
Miss Tang at the next table spoke to Miss Lin: "You say, where did the lotus room go just now?" ”
Eleven Niang's table was heard clearly.
Miss Lin smiled: "Didn't you say you were looking at the lights?" ”
Miss Tang smiled lowly, her eyes showing a little disdain: "The round red lantern, what's so beautiful?" Who's house doesn't hang a row under the eaves. ”
Miss Lin didn't make a sound.
Miss Tang added: "This is also something that cannot be said. Maybe there is something special about the Xu family's lanterns! At least, the Xu family's hand-copying verandah is different from others. Along the way, the skirt will be wet.
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
This Miss Tang is really careful to observe...... And, too, smart.
However, it was a bit inappropriate to talk about Qiao Lianfang like this......
She coughed lightly, and was about to say something to divert the conversation, but Miss Gan Jiaqi had already said in a loud voice: "Sister Hall, Miss Tang said that the anchovy is delicious, and she wants a plate." Interrupted Miss Tang.
Everyone looked over with a smile.
Miss Tang was so angry that her face turned purple and she stared at Miss Gan Jiaqi: "You ......"
Miss Gan Jiaqi grinned and winked at Eleven Niang.
She must have thought that Miss Tang's words were too much, so she would stop her.
Eleven Niang had a good impression of her, and she couldn't help it.
"If you want to eat it yourself, you will rely on me!" Miss Tang sneered, "Isn't it too harsh at home......"
"My sister wants to eat, and she will ask Mrs. Xu for it." Without waiting for Miss Tang to finish speaking, Miss Gan suddenly stood up, leaned sideways, and looked like she was going to block her sister behind her, with the momentum of "turning her face and turning her face", "Why do you need to rely on you." ”
Eleven Niang was very surprised.
She didn't think that the third lady of the Gan family, who had always followed the rules like a little old man, would be ashamed to help her sister "frame" Miss Tang, let alone that she would stand up and speak for her sister......
"You!" Miss Tang was trembling with anger, and was about to get up and reason with Miss Gan Jiasan, but was dragged by Miss Lin.
"Cao E!" Mrs. Gan was a little at a loss and called out to the third lady of the Gan family, "Sit down." What kind of system does this look like! ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but be ashamed.
One is called Cao E, and the other is called Lanting...... Two famous texts. I don't know who gave it the name?
Mrs. Huang stroked her forehead and smiled: "Cao E, you don't want to follow the Lan Pavilion in everything, you see what she has become...... Sit down, it's not a rare thing, let someone serve Miss Tang a dish of anchovies! ”
The third lady of the Gan family sat down angrily.
Miss Tang's eyes circled around the third Miss Gan family, and then turned her back to the Gan sisters, only whispering to Miss Lin.
The third lady of the Gan family glared at her sister fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Lan Ting, if you do this again, I will go back and tell my grandmother!" "I was very angry.
When the seventh lady of the Gan family heard this, she sighed helplessly at Shi Niang: "It's all like this-if you can't control it, you have to tell the adult!" ”
Shi Niang covered her sleeves and smiled, but her eyes drifted to Shi Niang.
Eleven Niang sat precariously and turned a blind eye.
"You two sisters are so interesting!" The seventh lady of the Gan family looked at Shi Niang, and then at Shi Niang, "I'll play with you in the future!" The third lady of the Jagan family stared straight into the eyes.
Miss Qianjin, it's not easy to come out. However, as long as she can come out, she should be courteous. Because whether it is a somewhat old-fashioned sister or a delicate sister, she is not confused in major matters, and she is a person worth befriending.
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.
Thinking of his three sisters again, he couldn't help but look dark.
Shi Niang smiled when she heard this, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" I'm waiting for you. ”
The seventh lady of the Gan family sat up straight and ate seriously. It is also the elegant and dignified appearance of the deputy lady.
At the dinner table of the grandmothers and young ladies, only the sound of soft porcelain slapping was heard, but the lady's side was much more lively. You persuade me to have a drink, and I advise you to try this dish.
Qiao Lianfang had been sitting beside Mrs. Tai, and was very cramped and uneasy when she was looked over.
After eating, everyone moved to the west to drink tea, and Mrs. Tai still invited Qiao Lianfang to sit beside her.
Some rough mothers-in-law picked up the window panes and door mallets, and the little maids either placed them on the open ground in front of the flower hall or hung all kinds of firecrackers of all sizes on the trees.
Xu Wuye, who took off his makeup, led four or five little guys over.
He smiled and saluted the ladies, and then drank "light up", and the little maid behind him took a long incense candle and lit the twist of firecrackers.
In a long or short "breeding" sound, red, yellow, blue, white, green, purple sparks erupted one after another, embellishing the terrace in front of the flower hall into a brilliant world of fire trees and silver flowers.
"It's beautiful!" Shi Niang looked at those beautiful purple and red, and muttered.
The colorful colors reflected her beautiful face, as vivid as a blooming flower.
The third lady of the Gan family took a handkerchief and handed it to her sister: "Cover it quickly." Be careful that the smoke gets in your throat. ”
Miss Gan Jiaqi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and kindly reminded Shi Niang and Shi Niang: "The fireworks smell of nitrate, and they can't smell it." ”
Eleven Niang nodded, followed the example of Miss Seventh of the Gan family, took the handkerchief and came out and half-covered her nose.
Shi Niang looked at the fireworks and smiled: "It's not bad to be able to smell the smell of gun...... I'm afraid I won't be able to smell it even if I want to hear it in the future. ”
Eleven Niang has an understanding.
There was a small servant who took the thick firecrackers and scattered them around, and lit them again while the fireworks were endless.
In the dull "bang" sound, the fireworks rushed into the air, and the people in the house were blocked by the eaves, and only half of the fireworks in full bloom were seen.
"I can't see clearly." Mrs. Huang simply got up and went to the eaves of the flower hall.
Mrs. Tai laughed and got up to invite everyone: "Let's go and have a look?" ”
Naturally, everyone should be fine.
Mrs. Tai took Qiao Lianfang's hand: "Go, accompany me to watch the fireworks." "Very kind.
Qiao Lianfang responded "yes" in a low voice, and obediently followed Mrs. Tai to the eaves.
The seventh lady of the Gan family pulled ten mothers: "Let's go and see it too!" ”
Shi Niang nodded.
The two of them jumped for joy.
The third lady of the Gan family looked at her sister's back and sighed helplessly, and invited Eleven Niang: "Let's go and see it too!" ”
"Okay!" She smiled and got up with Miss Gan Jiaqi, and saw Miss Lin and Miss Tang passing by them arm in arm, followed by Wu Niang, who was smiling reluctantly.
Seeing Eleven Niang and Miss Gan Jiasan, she greeted her cordially: "Do you also go out to watch the fireworks?" Let's do it together! With that, he leaned over.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Some circles are not so easy to break into......
The three ladies have asked people to set up the Taishi chairs under the eaves, several ladies sit casually, and others stand around, or look up to watch the fireworks in the air, or gather together in twos and threes to whisper.
A little maid walked up to Mrs. Qiao and whispered a few words.
Mrs. Qiao looked surprised, looked at Qiao Lianfang who was standing beside Mrs. Tai, hesitated for a moment, whispered a few words to Mrs. Lin beside her, and then got up and went back to the flower hall with the maid.
Eleven Niang stood on the east side of the eaves, as if watching the fireworks, but in fact she had been vigilantly paying attention to the situation around her.
Seeing Mrs. Qiao enter the flower hall, her eyes immediately chased after her.
Mrs. Qiao left her personal maid and followed the little maid out of the flower hall and towards the east.
To the east, is where the small courtyard is located.
When Qiao Lianfang appeared in Dianchun Hall, "Pipa Xing" was singing the finale, and everyone's attention was inevitably attracted, and later Mrs. Tai appeared and took her with her, so that Mrs. Qiao never had the opportunity to say a word to Qiao Lianfang.
Now, Yuan Niang sent someone to find Mrs. Qiao again......
What did Mrs. Tai, Hou Ye, and Yuan Niang say when they were locked in the house?
Eleven Niang was a little uneasy.
When I turned around, I saw Mrs. Tai turning her head to look at Mrs. Qiao's back.
In the splendor of the courtyard, her gaze was as dim as midnight.
Is it helplessness? Or disappointed?
Eleven Niang is a little undecided!
Look at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady looked at the fireworks with a happy expression, and smiled with Mrs. Gan on the side: "It's still beautiful to see this fireworks rushing into the sky." ”
Mrs. Gan didn't notice the strangeness around her, and smiled at Mrs. Ying: "You will stay in Yanjing for a few days!" June is Halloween. Every year, fireworks are set off with artillery, and they rush to the sky, and the people of the entire Yanjing City can see it, which is really rare in the world. ”
The eldest lady nodded: "There is nothing to do at home." I'm going to stay in Yenching for a few more days. It also allows the daughters to gain some knowledge, so as not to look afraid of things in the future......"
Mrs. Gan agreed: "Girls walk around, see the world, and act more generously in the future!" ”
"That's exactly what ...... the"
They looked like they were talking happily.
