Chapter 280: Visiting the Garden (Part II)
Sister Hui saw that Sister Fang'er's gown fit very well, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "You can remember clearly!" ”
"Of course I remember." Sister Fang replied confidently, "The third button is moon white with bean green silk thread, and the fifth button has four colors: red, yellow, green and gold. The twelfth clasp is red, emerald green and goose yellow. The fourteenth clasp is only dark and crimson gold......"
Sister Zhen was dumbfounded when she heard this: "You guys, you are too careful!" ”
Sister Fang'er looked proud: "Since you want to make one piece according to it, it will naturally be exactly the same." Then he said "ah" and asked Sister Hui'er, "Did you meet Aunt Fourth when you came in just now?" She wore an apricot-colored cardigan jacket and a purple skirt today. Really purple! ”
"See!" Sister Hui said, "When we entered the door, the fourth aunt was going out. She wore a large peony flower with red gold and rubies, which was brilliant, which was really rare. ”
But when Wu Niang saw the big ruby flower on Eleven Niang's head, the smile on her face couldn't be gathered.
Seeing that Wu Niang was staring at her jewelry, Eleven Niang secretly regretted that she should have changed her clothes today. Pretending not to know, he looked at Wu Niang's residence.
It was her first time here.
Wu Niang rented a two-entry yard, with white walls and gray tiles, blue bricks and black doors, and it looked clean and tidy. The black lacquered furniture in the room, the blue and white porcelain flowers, the royal blue brocade tent, and the calligraphy and paintings hung on them are either beautiful and upright, or majestic and dignified, and the shots are extraordinary. Everywhere is full of scholarly style with a solid family background.
Luo Da*'s grandmother thought that Wu Niang was mentally exhausted, so she helped to straighten the pillow: "The third baptism ceremony is over." There are no outsiders here. Rest too! ”
Wu Niang pursed her lips and lay down tiredly.
Grandma Luo looked at the white and fat baby in the nurse's arms and greeted her: "...... Got a name? ”
"Not yet!" Wu Niang explained, "The child came early, and he was a little caught off guard. ”
Because of the expectation, I will choose a name for my child very early - like Xu Lingkuan, Sister Xin wrote no less than a hundred names of men and women before she was born, and I asked them which name was good when I was idle......
Although I was confused, I felt that the situation of each family was different, so I couldn't say much. Eleven Niang looked at the child with a smile: "It's still more like the fifth brother-in-law." ”
Grandma Luo Si on the side also nodded: "I also feel like the fifth aunt." ”
Aster came in and invited them to the hall: "The food is settled." ”
Everyone smiled and exchanged a few words with Wu Niang, and went to the hall to sit down.
The Qian family has no relatives here, except for the children, the daughters of the family are the wives of several of his friends, and they are dressed very ordinarily. Seeing Luo Da * Milk and others, some of them looked cowering with their eyes, some were not arrogant or humble and seemed very generous, and some came over to greet Shi Niang and others. Wen Po, who presided over the three baptismal ceremonies, praised Qian Ming for his blessings, married Wu Niang, and Luo Da * Milk and others threw into the bathtub all eight points of silver.
Luo Da * Milk responded politely, and when the maids began to serve, they calmed down.
Although there are not many guests, the rules of the banquet are very high. I invited the master of Chunxi Building to do outsourcing. Ten plates and ten bowls, and the last one is a Buddha jumping over the wall. Eleven Niang ate shark fin and abalone.
Luo Da * milk also eaten.
She whispered to Eleven Niang: "I'm afraid this banquet is not cheap." ”
Eleven Niang also felt that it was too extravagant.
Grandma Luo asked her, "I heard what business I was going to do with you last time." Is the business done? ”
"Nope." Eleven Niang said, "There are some businesses that I don't come forward for. ”
Grandma Luo Si on the side listened thoughtfully and looked at the shark fin like a vermicelli in the small gold plate.
Most of the wives of Qian Ming's friends praised the good banquet and said that the Qian family was generous.
After the meal, some went to the inner room to drink tea with the daughters of the Luo family, and some had the excuse of saying goodbye in advance.
Eleven Niang sat for a while, and then said goodbye to Wu Niang: "...... There are also guests at home. Come and see you and your child in a few days. ”
Wu Niang explained to the people next to her: "The Yongping Marquis Mansion is holding a spring banquet, and the daughter-in-law of Zhongqinbo, Zhongshan Marquis and Princess Fucheng are all there. She's here on a tick. ”
The stable woman smiled and said, "Oh, it's still my aunt who feels sorry for my nephew." ”
There are also two aunts and uncles in the house...... Eleven Niang felt that this stable woman was not very good at talking, smiled, and said a few words to Wu Niang, such as "rest well", and Qian Ming personally sent it to the door.
Back in the lotus, the play has just ended. Eleven Niang rushed over to greet the ladies. Everyone asked her about the three baptisms of her children.
“…… Grow neatly and neatly. I didn't wake up when I set off the firecrackers, and I slept soundly. ”
"Blessed is he!"
mentioned that I hadn't seen Sister Xin in the past two days: "I am also a person who can support myself, and I know that our Yongping Hou family lacks a daughter!" ”
The fifth lady pursed her lips and smiled, and helped Mrs. Tai to the flower hall.
The wine and food over there had already been arranged, and Mrs. Zhou pulled Shi Niang to punish her for wine.
Mrs. Tai was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, so she pointed at Mrs. Zhou and smiled: "You are a sister, and you don't know how to converge and converge." ”
Eleven Niang took advantage of Mrs. Tai's words to beat her, and Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would drink too much, so she said it badly, but she didn't dare to move the real thing. You come and go, but the fourth wife of the Tang family blushed. provoked Mrs. Tang to laugh and blame Mrs. Zhou: "You bully the soft and fear the hard." "It made everyone laugh. When they were full of wine and food, they dispersed with joy.
The fifth lady was worried about the child, so she went to the second lady first.
Amber kept the aftermath, and Eleven Niang helped Mrs. Tai back to the house.
On the way, Mrs. Tai said with a smile: "Everyone said that this year's Spring Banquet was better than in previous years!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and said modestly: "This is also the big face of the fifth master and the fifth brother and sister, and they can invite all the big three drama troupes." Otherwise, there would be no such grand event today. ”
Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, entered the inner room together, and asked about Wu Niang: "...... Why was it born prematurely? ”
"I said I slipped and fell." Eleven Niang took the hot tea in the maid's hand and presented it to Mrs. Tai, "Fortunately, the mother and son are safe, nothing is wrong!" ”
Mrs. Tai took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "You are also tired today, go and rest early!" Just have Yao Huang here. "Look at her eyes are very kind and her attitude is very persistent.
Eleven Niang knew that Mrs. Tai had good intentions, smiled and bent her knees, and waited for Wei Zi and Mrs. Yao Huang to enter the clean room, and then returned to the house.
Yan Rong greeted him: "The family is very peaceful. ”
Eleven Niang nodded and entered the inner room.
Xu Lingyi had already gone to bed, and was reading a book under the lamp, when she saw that her face was slightly drunk, she said, "Drinking?" ”
"Accompany Sister Zhou, they drank a little!"
Xu Lingyi smiled: "I said I wouldn't drink it in front of me." ”
"The concubine doesn't have that much to drink with the Hou Ye."
The two laughed a few words, and Eleven Niang went to wash and rest.
Wake up thirsty in the middle of the night.
There is a cup of cold water on the small pestle at the head of the bed.
Eleven Niang held the tea cup and was silent for a long time.
The next morning, it was busier than the previous two days. The utensils that have been taken out are to be sent to the storehouse, the expenses of the days are to be settled, and preparations for the moving are to begin. It wasn't until noon that I had a chance to catch my breath. I just sat down and took a sip of tea, but when I looked up, I saw the maid Xiaoli next to Sister Zhen talking to Green Cloud.
The people around Sister Zhen have never taken the initiative to look for her.
Eleven Niang asked the maid to call the little bird in.
"What's the matter?"
Xiaoli saluted Eleven Niang: "The eldest lady said, let's see if Madame is done." If I'm done, let me write back! ”
Although the meeting will have to arrange with Amber to seal the cage, but in comparison, Sister Zhen'er's matter is more important. She instructed Xiaoli: "Go and invite the eldest lady to come over!" ”
Xiaoli happily went away and served Sister Zhen'er to come over.
Eleven Niang invited Sister Zhen to sit opposite her: "What's the matter?" ”
Sister Zhen smiled: "Two days ago, Sister Hui said that she wanted to set up a spring banquet at home on the ninth day of the new year......" said and glanced at Eleven Niang.
It's better than before!
Eleven Niang smiled: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Sister Zhen looked at her very gently, and became bold: "I want to give her the handkerchief I embroidered two days ago." Then pick some flowers from the flower room and take them to Sister Fang and them to play. ”
Eleven Niang gave her an idea: "Good things come in pairs." Why don't you send her a handkerchief, and give her the fan cover you embroidered two days ago? ”
Sister Zhen was encouraged and smiled very heartily. Talking to Eleven Niang: "...... The aunt of the Lin family wants to marry Sister Hui to Cangzhou. I don't know if I'll be able to see you again in the future. I want to embroider some dowry for her. ”
Eleven Niang was a little surprised.
A few years ago, Mrs. Lin also inquired about the fifth son of Chen Ge's hometown. How did it take a year, and the direction of the wind changed.
"Who are you listening to?" She laughed and gossiped with Sister Zhen.
Sister Zhen said in a low voice: "Sister Hui said it herself." And he said, "I heard Sister Fang say." Mrs. Lin is the fifth son of Chen Ge's hometown. But the aunt of the Lin family heard that the Chen family had big rules, and she was afraid that Sister Hui would marry and endure hardships, so she didn't dare to refute Mrs. Lin openly. Sister Hui'er's eldest aunt chose Sister Hui'er's eldest grandson of the Deng family in Cangzhou. also gave the fifth aunt of the Lin family a family affair. This time, people from Cangzhou did not participate in any martial arts at all. It's to meet people. ”
It's the first time I've heard of this. If you think about Lin Da's grandmother's character, it is somewhat credible.
She laughed, "Really! ”
Sister Zhen nodded again and again: "Really." It was Sister Fang who went back to inquire! ”
"Sister Fang is very powerful!"
Sister Zhen nodded: "It's still very smart." Seeing that Eleven Niang listened to her carefully, she was patient and gentle, and she also told Eleven Niang about Sister Fang's borrowing of a small jacket: "...... I also know it shouldn't. It's just a new acquaintance, and I'm afraid she's ...... angry."
Eleven Niang can understand this mood very well.
I finally met a friend, I hope to get along well, and I am willing to pay some for myself.
"It's okay, it's okay." She smiled and comforted Sister Zhen'er, "It's just that the texture of that jacket is not good, and I'm afraid she won't like it when I take it out." ”
Sister Zhen has been thinking about this in her heart for the past two days, and seeing that Eleven Niang is not to blame, she is relieved, and her smile is even brighter: "She likes it so much." That night, I called the aunts of the needlework bureau to go and cut the clothes, and wrote down the color of each button......"
She chirped like a cheerful bird, talking to Eleven Niang about things that were important to her and trivial to others, and her smile was like the summer sun.
Eleven Niang kept smiling at her, until Sister Zhen accidentally saw the anxious expression flashing on Amber's face, and then she suddenly realized her gaffe.
