Yuan Niang and the eldest lady became sad, and the atmosphere in the room immediately changed.

Brother Zhen poked his head out of his mother's arms, and looked at the eldest lady curiously with his big clear and immaculate eyes, as if he didn't understand why his grandmother cried for no reason.

Wu Niang turned her eyes, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the eldest lady to wipe her tears: "Today's reunion between mother and daughter is a happy event, why is my mother sad!" ”

The eldest lady laughed when she heard this, took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Look at me, the older you get, the more casual you become." ”

That smile is still a little forced.

The corners of Yuan Niang's eyes flashed: "Mother is here for her daughter!" How can there be so much exquisiteness? ”

The eldest lady nodded.

Some maids fetched water and came in to clean the face of the eldest lady and Yuan Niang.

Yuan Niang has her own people to serve, and the eldest lady is served by Eleven Niang, and Wu Niang helps to pull up her sleeves and remove the bracelet.

After cleaning her face, Yuan Niang instructed the maid: "Take out the palace powder that the queen rewarded last time." ”

The maid should say "yes", and quickly took the enamel flower locket.

"Mother, try it, something from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Yuan Niang smiled, "I have never used these things, and I don't know if they are good or not." If you can use it, I'll have a few boxes sent over. ”

The little maid hurriedly took the target and went over.

The eldest lady took the powder box, with a bright yellow bottom and complicated sky blue patterns, elegant and quiet.

"It's a thing of the making." She held it in her hand and played with it a few times before gently unscrewing the box.

Immediately, an elegant jasmine fragrance burst out, faintly wafting throughout the room, making people smell and refresh.

Eleven Niang was moved, and couldn't help but glance at the box.

The powder inside is pale yellow......

She doesn't raise her eyebrows.

Modern makeup techniques, adding a little yellow foundation to the complexion foundation and applying it to the face can make the yellow skin brighter and smoother...... The daughters of the Luo family use pure white powder, not only that, but they also think that the whiter the better...... These are two completely different philosophies.

The things made inside are really better than the things on the market!

In the emotion, the eldest lady had already foamed the powder on her face.

Sure enough, as Eleven Niang expected, the powder makeup was natural and soft, which made the eldest lady suddenly five years younger.

Wu Niang was surprised by the "tsk" on the side, and envy flashed in her eyes. Even Mother Xu was also full of surprise.

Yuan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and instructed the maid: "You go and talk to Song Comprador tomorrow, and say that the palace powder rewarded by Niangniang last time is good, and let him send a few more boxes in." ”

The maid bent her knees, and the eldest lady waved her hand: "No, no." Why bother owing favors to a few boxes of palace fans. ”

Yuan Niang smiled: "Don't worry." Now in charge of the internal affairs office is King Shun, who grew up with the Hou Ye since he was a child, and he is very familiar. ”

The eldest lady was still there to excuse herself, so she said to the little maid: "Madam, Aunt Wen is here!" ”

Yuan Niang was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Her ears are downcast...... Let her in! There was no sadness and resentment between the eyebrows, but peace and nature, as if hearing a visit from a neighbor who was close to him......

The eldest lady looked at her daughter with some confusion, and said in a low voice: "It's the ...... of the Yangzhou Wen family."

Yuan Niang nodded and said with a smile: "Mother will see you too." They are all Jiangnan people. Although the Wen family is a family caused by salt, the silk business has been doing well in recent years. Get to know one more person, one more way. If there is a chance, let Wu Xiaoquan go to Yangzhou, for my sake, the people of the Wen family will definitely treat him with courtesy! ”

The Luo family's property is a silk shop in addition to the acres of land. But after all, the Luo family is a family heirloom with poetry and books, if it weren't for the fact that the harvest in the field depended on the sky, and the profits of silk were really exciting, they would not open a shop to do business. Therefore, although the Luo family's Yuande silk is a time-honored brand in the south of the Yangtze River, it has always done business near Hangzhou Mansion and has not set up branches elsewhere. Although it has been in business for several generations, it is only less than the upper and more than the lower.

When Eleven Niang listened to Yuan Niang's tone, it turned out to be as if she was letting the eldest lady use the power of the Wen family to expand her business!

She couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Also surprised by Eleven Niang was the eldest lady: "You are ......"

Yuan Niang smiled at her mother and said, "We'll talk about this later." Then he turned and told the maid, "Go and bring my cloisonné enamel opal mirror to my wife." Then he explained to the eldest lady, "You can make her a greeting gift!" ”

Eleven Niang was thoughtful.

Before the eldest lady could say anything, a delicate voice came from outside the screen: "Sister, you can look forward to the in-laws' wife!" ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on the screen. Then I saw a woman as small as a pendant walk in.

She wore a ginger plain jacket, a red folded branch flower gown, and a white moonlight skirt. The green silk is combed into a falling horse bun, wearing a Western pearl and emerald flower on the left, and three red gold pomegranate flower hairpins are inserted on the right.

Eleven Niang's eyes lit up.

What a beauty!

"Big lady, slave maid Wen, I salute you!" Wen smiled before speaking, his words were sharp, he took a few steps forward, and squatted down steadily to give a blessing to the eldest wife.

The eldest lady's face had already changed to a smile: "Hurry up, hurry up." Family, why do you need to be so polite! Over there, Xu's mother had handed over a red lacquer and gold painted box to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady saw that the box was exquisitely lacquered, and the gold and flowers were elegant and generous, not her own thing, and she knew that this was the mirror watch that her daughter just mentioned. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still smiled and handed it to Wen: "You can take it and play with it!" ”

Wen took it with a smile, but his eyes turned on the box before handing it to the maid behind him, and then stepped forward with a smile to salute Yuan Niang: "Sister is better?" ”

Yuan Niang's smile came to her eyes: "You're here, it's okay if it's not good!" ”

Aunt Wen looked pale when she heard this: "Sister, I can't let Master Hou hear this, otherwise, my little life will not be guaranteed." He must have been sent by the Hou Ye to the imperial physician to make soup......"

Brother Chen, who was in Yuan Niang's arms, suddenly said: "Auntie, you are wrong. Huang's mother is in charge of the kitchen......"

Yuan Niang laughed.

The crowd laughed.

Only Brother Zhen, looking left and right, first didn't know why everyone was laughing, and then saw everyone laughing, and hid in his mother's arms a little shyly.

Aunt Wen stepped forward and half-squatted in front of the bed and looked at Brother Zhen with a smile: "Good brother, if Master Hou asks, you have to say like just now, that Imperial Doctor Wang doesn't care about the kitchen, and it is Mother Huang who is in charge of the kitchen." ”

Brother Zhen raised his head and nodded to Aunt Wen, and buried his head in his mother's arms again.

Everyone laughed again.

Or laughed too often, Yuan Niang actually coughed.

Aunt Wen hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuan Niang smooth her breath, took the tea handed over by the maid, poured a small sip and tasted it in the lid of the cup, and then sat on the side of the bed and helped Yuan Niang serve her to drink tea.

Her movements are very familiar, not jerky at all, and it can be seen that she often does this kind of thing.

Eleven Niang's eyes flashed slightly, but Wu Niang's face showed surprise.

After drinking tea, Yuan Niang came to pass. Aunt Wen looked at Wu Niang and Eleven Niang, who were standing in front of the bed with a concerned expression: "These two are Miss Five and Miss Eleven?" ”

Yuan Niang smiled and nodded.

Aunt Wen glanced at the two of them quickly, and stepped forward with a smile to take Wu Niang's hand: "The first time I saw my sister, I felt like I had seen a fairy, but my sister often said that the younger sisters in the family are really beautiful." When I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”

Wu Niang hurriedly smiled: "My sister has always taken care of us sisters, and she is kind in her heart, so she can't help but be partial, which makes my aunt laugh." ”

Aunt Wen's eyes flashed: "Oh, what a cool person." Then he looked back at Yuan Niang, "Pour my temper." ”

Yuan Niang laughed.

Aunt Wen gestured to her maid, and the maid held two boxes.

"I just knew that the eldest lady brought two young ladies to play at home, and in a hurry, don't dislike the two young ladies."

Wu Niang and Eleven Niang thanked each other and took it in their hands.

In this way, when you meet someone, you will have a meeting gift, and you will make a small fortune......

Eleven Niang smiled in her heart without self-deprecation.

Another little maid said through the screen: "Sister Yao Huang from Mrs. Tai's house is here." ”

One after another, it's really like a group of heroes!

Eleven Niang's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Come in, please!" Yuan Niang smiled, and a tall maid came in from behind the screen.

She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, but with a round fat face, she looked like a big-headed doll, and although it was a little out of proportion, she was very cute.

Seeing the room full of people, she stepped forward with a smile to greet everyone, and then said to the eldest lady: "Mrs. Tai specially asked me to pass on a message." said, knowing that the wife of the in-laws was coming, he should have come to greet him in person. But it happened that Duchess Cheng Guo brought her niece over, so she had to ask her in-laws to sit down for a while. Please also ask the wife of the in-laws not to be surprised. ”

Eleven Niang, who had been carefully observing Yuan Niang, saw a cold look in her sister's eyes.

The eldest lady over there said politely: "Mrs. Tai is older than me, I should have gone to see Mrs. Tai, how can I let Mrs. Tai move." As he spoke, he said with a slight hesitation, "I don't know how long Duchess Cheng Guo will have to be in trouble?" Since I'm here, how can I not ask Mrs. Tai for a ......?"

Without waiting for Yao Huang to answer, Yuan Niang smiled and said: "Mother, mother-in-law is the master, and it is not good to abandon guests." You're a guest. Naturally, the guest is as he pleases, and there is nothing that cannot be done. As he spoke, he instructed the maid beside him, "Help me change my clothes." "I looked like I was going to accompany the eldest lady to see Mrs. Tai.

The eldest lady couldn't help but hesitate.

With such a body as her daughter, let her accompany her to her own heart; It's rude not to let her go with her.

For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

Aunt Wen's eyes flashed when she looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sister, why don't I go with the eldest wife?" Otherwise, Mrs. Tai would be sad again when she saw her sister disregarding her body like this. ”

Yuan Niang pondered.

Aunt Wen said again: "I hugged Brother Zhen and accompanied the eldest lady over." ”

"It's good!" Yuan Niang smiled, "When the time comes, let Brother Zhen ask my mother to say goodbye on my behalf." ”

Aunt Wen smiled: "Sister, don't worry, we'll come when we go." ”

Yuan Niang looked at her mother apologetically, and before she could speak, the eldest lady had already smiled and said, "Auntie, this is a good idea." Let Brother Chen accompany me to see Mrs. Tai. He added, "Don't worry, with me by your side, you won't let Brother Zhen blow the wind and suffer the cold." ”

Yuan Niang's gaze at her mother gradually became serious: "Then I will hand over Brother Zhen to you." ”

The eldest lady nodded solemnly.

(Sorry!) There are guests at home, and there is only one shift tonight. ⊙_⊙b sweat ...... ）
