Chapter 12 Planning

Lieyun rested for an hour, and Shen Chu got up.

Mo Ju Cui Zhu is not mentioned, Zilan is a good hand at grooming, but when it comes to dressing and jewelry, it should be red plum. Don't say that the purple courtyard is counted as all the maids with heads and faces in Cui Mansion, and Hongmei is also outstanding.

It is said that Hongmei's mother, who was originally a lady from a large family, later fell into the middle of the family, married a poor scholar as his wife, who knew that this poor scholar only knew how to die and study, and everything at home did not matter, Hongmei Niang couldn't, so she had to rely on the good female workers who were trained in the boudoir to go out to make money by doing embroidery work for people. Who would have thought that this scholar later went to Beijing to take the exam, but died on the road. Hongmei Niang later gave birth to a posthumous son, which is Hongmei. Hongmei has been in and out of the embroidery place with her mother since she was a child, and she has not only been familiar with the fabrics, but also has her own set of ready-to-wear matching.

Tonight's feast is a joyous feast for the whole family, and the clothes of the people who feast should naturally be solemn and festive. In the past year, Lieyun has hardly gone out, and dressing up is only a simple matter, this time Hongmei can be regarded as a good opportunity to show her skills.

Last night, Hongmei was busy chattering all night, and today during the day, she chose this hairpin and felt that hairpin was expensive, and finally chose tonight's clothes and jewelry half an hour before Lieyun got up.

Shen Chu got up, and the four maids began to circle around the fierce clouds.

Mo Ju brought hot water to Lie Yun to clean his hands and face, and Cuizhu carefully smeared the most famous incense powder shop in Dingjing, and the most expensive and best balsam and lotus paste made by Baihua Pavilion. After wiping it off, a faint fragrance of lotus flowers spread in the room, and people couldn't help but turn their noses to smell it. No wonder it is said that this Qinglian paste is difficult to buy, and a box of three hundred taels of silver is in short supply in the circle of noble ladies and ladies in Dingjing.

Hongmei took out the clothes she had chosen for a day and a night to change into Lieyun, Zilan helped Lieyun to sit down in front of the dresser, first lightly traced the moth eyebrows, lightly applied rouge to the cheeks, and then nodded the red lips, and then saw Zilan's skillful hands flying, tea kung fu, so she pulled it into a bun, and put on the jewelry that Hongmei had chosen one by one.

After inserting the last hairpin, Zilan looked at the person in the mirror, stunned for a moment, and then picked up Lieyun and walked towards the one-person-high bronze mirror placed next to the 10,000-year-old evergreen potted plant on the left side of the house.

This bronze mirror was given by Emperor Jia'an half a year ago, and it is said that it was given to Daxuan by the neighboring country Daqi. Daqi is near the sea, there are many merchants who go to the sea to trade, this bronze mirror is brought back by Daqi merchants from overseas countries, a total of three sides, to Daxuan side.

Half a year ago, the bronze mirror entered the Daxuan Palace, causing a disturbance in the harem. The unfavored concubines are guessing who Emperor Jia'an will give this only bronze mirror to, while a few usually favored ones are secretly competing to see who is the emperor's favorite woman. The two princesses born by Concubine Xian, one is three years old and the other is one year old, and they are not yet at the age of beauty, so they are indifferent.

Unexpectedly, before the bronze mirror was covered in the palace, Emperor Jia'an gave it to Lieyun, and now all the women in the harem died down, which would be stupid enough to grab things from the Feiyun County Lord, who was the most favored in front of the emperor, and even the princess couldn't compare.

Lieyun stopped in front of the bronze mirror, and saw that the girl in the mirror was wearing a smoky purple Shu brocade cross-collared long skirt, and the neckline was inlaid with a red gold inlaid purple jade bead buckle. A silver-gray brocade belt is tied around the waist, echoing the silver-gray gauze coat on the cover, and a purple jade butterfly love flower skirt is hung on it. The cuffs and skirt of the gauze are outlined with silver threads to outline the picture of the sun, moon and stars of the mountains, rivers, and rivers, which makes the girl's soft state show a bit of sassy and atmospheric. Under the skirt is a pointed purple satin embroidered shoe with two rare purple pearls.

A fallen horse bun is obliquely obliquely on the head, a complete set of purple gems in the head, purple jade carved gold hairpin and gold tired silk inlaid purple gemstone double luan dot cuibu shake hairpin on the bun, phoenix beads red gold silk purple jade hairpin inserted on the sideburns, plum blossom-shaped purple gem distraction between the forehead, purple jade tassel ear pendants on both ears, long beads of red gold and purple jade on the neck, and the purple jade jade bracelet on the wrist complement the whole dress.

The four maids and Lieyun himself, all showed amazing colors in their eyes, a beautiful woman, although she was young, she could already see the peerless elegance in the future!

The five of them came to their senses and looked at the sky, after this busy work, it was already the time of the unitary, the sky was dark, and the full moon was hanging high. After wearing a cloak woven of white peacock feathers, Zilan held the lamp in front, and Cuizhu followed closely behind the fierce clouds, and the three of them walked out of the purple courtyard and went all the way to Songhe Hall.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, although Cui's Mansion is still in accordance with Cui Jing's instructions, the lights are lit up at night, but it is much brighter than usual.

There was already a little maid waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw the arrival of Lieyun, she was busy and asked for peace.

"Aunt and uncle have arrived?" Lieyun asked the little maid as he walked inside.

"Lord Yu, the old lady and the young lady arrived a quarter of an hour ago." The little maid didn't dare to raise her head and whispered.

"It's good to have a family reunion." Lieyun muttered, but unfortunately except for Cuizhu, no one understood its deep meaning.

When I got to the bottom of the steps of the wing, I saw someone in the house opening the curtain and coming out, it was the old lady Cui beside Mingqin, seeing the clouds, she hurriedly went down the steps, saluted and stretched out her hand to help, "Mingqin has seen the county lord, the county lord An." The old lady has been talking to the county lord several times, and several times urging me to go to the courtyard gate and wait for you to go, the county lord please come in. ”

Following Mingqin into the house, ignoring the others, Lie Yun first bowed down to Old Lady Cui and Old Lady Cui, "Yun'er is late, Lao Cui's grandfather and grandmother Cui are worried, and Yun'er will be punished to drink an extra glass of osmanthus wine later." ”

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she sneered, and supported Mingqin to help Lieyun to her side, and took Lieyun's hand, "You little slippery head, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, gracefully condense and extend all of you, and you can only taste half a cup of osmanthus wine if you get the grace of adults, okay, half a cup is not enough, and you still want to drink one more glass this year!" ”

Lie Yun looked at the two old men in front of him with an innocent expression.

Although Mrs. Cui didn't dress up tonight, she also took off the homely robe she often wears, put on a brown straight robe, and her hair was still tied in a bun on the top of her head, but today she didn't insert the rosewood hairpin, but changed to a black hosta.

And Cui Jing, who was sitting under the head of Mrs. Cui, today changed out of the three-grade embroidered peacock scarlet robe official uniform worn by the daily Shangya, and wore a green step robe, with a bun on his head and a mutton fat white hosta on it.

Mrs. Cui has dressed up carefully today. The upper body wore a short jacket with a sauce-colored vertical collar, and the lower body was paired with an indigo horse-faced skirt, covered with a crow blue embroidered Fulu Shoutuan character jacket, and the hair was hidden in black crepe gold silk in a bun on the top of the head? In the bun, a complete set of emerald heads lined Mrs. Cui's face with kindness and extravagance.

"Yes, Yun'er, you are already weak, and you can't be greedy for a cup, although the osmanthus wine is delicious, but it is full of stamina, not that you three children can stand it, half a cup of each of you is enough."

As soon as the words sounded, Lie Yun looked back and forth, and the person who spoke was Cheng Jinsi, who was sitting under Mrs. Cui.
