Chapter 14: The Peach Blossom Feast
Early the next morning, after the eighteen niang finished dressing, she took Xiping to Tinglan Courtyard, thinking of the first time she saw Shen Qin, she was a little speechless, obviously an elegant character, but she wanted to clean up herself in the rich and enchanting, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit people's eyes.
When she arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, the big girl next to Shen Qin, the red sleeves, had already combed her hair, and she was still full of golden hairpins, which was dazzling.
Eighteen Niang walked behind Shen Qin with a smile and said, "Sister, the costumes of Chang'an City are tired of looking, why don't you try my skills as a girl from Xiping." ”
Shen Qin looked in the mirror, couldn't bear to brush off her sister's kindness, looked at Eighteen Niang again, and nodded.
I saw that she was wearing a goose yellow spring shirt today, and the headdress was a complete set of South China Sea pearls, which looked exceptionally fresh, young and delicate, and people couldn't help but get close to her.
Xiping's hands and feet were so sharp that after a while, Shen Qin seemed to be a different person.
Obviously, there are a lot of golden steps missing, but it looks more noble, like an empty valley orchid. She was wearing a light pink dress today, which made her complexion rosy.
"Sister looks so beautiful, but doesn't Sister like dark colors on weekdays, why do you want to wear light pink today?" Eighteen Niang held a mirror to Shen Qin and asked with a smile.
Previously, Shen Qin saw that Eighteen Niang had too few bags, so she opened a cage for her to choose, most of her clothes were thick and colorful, extremely gorgeous, and she had never seen this light pink.
"It was Yu Niang who sent it to me early in the morning, saying that she wanted to wear a sister shirt with me, but I couldn't resist her, so I wore it. Does Eighteen have a pink shirt? Do you want to put it on too? Shen Qin looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and couldn't believe it, he was still himself, why did he suddenly become a little more beautiful. Maybe, today is really as the eighteen said, to meet the destined person.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but blush slightly.
Eighteen Niang frowned, Shen Yu weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, what kind of heart is An? Or is she just doing it casually?
"My cage hasn't come yet, and next time I'll wear the same dress as my sister. I'll put rouge on my sister. As she spoke, Eighteen Niang's hand suddenly shook, and she accidentally spilled the rouge on the dresser.
"I'm sorry Sister, I'm clumsy......"
Shen Qin smiled, and suddenly said in surprise: "Eighteen, look, you unintentionally sprinkled a flower like this." I was reluctant to wipe it off, so I just kept it. ”
The two sisters talked and laughed, and got into the carriage together. Shen Ting was already riding his horse and waiting on the side.
The scene at this gate is really distinct, and several children of the Wu family got together and didn't come up.
The alley at the entrance of Mrs. Chaohua's mansion is now full of traffic and is blocked. The coachman drove the car, and suddenly pulled the reins of the horse urgently, and Shen Qin stumbled and almost flew out.
"What's the matter, there's a little lady sitting in the car." Xiping asked dissatisfiedly.
The coachman was sweating profusely and whispered, "It was the Kong family's carriage that was inserted in front of us." ”
When Shen Qin heard this, she blushed in embarrassment, "Then forget it, let's go on." ”
She turned her head again and explained to Eighteen: "In the past, my mother set Brother Yao the eldest sister of the Kong family as his wife, but later Brother Yao was injured, and my father made the decision to withdraw from such a family matter. Her two younger sisters naturally have resentment in their hearts. ”
In this world, in the end, women are amorous.
"Can this sister and eldest brother of the Kong family know each other before?" Eighteen Niang is a little curious, is this Kong family pedantic, or is it affectionate and righteous?
Shen Qinqiao's face flushed, and she lowered her voice and said: "Sister Kong has always been in love with her eldest brother, her father went to withdraw from her family, and she also came to visit Brother Yao, but unfortunately she didn't see it." I heard from the old man that the two used to be childhood sweethearts and fell in love. ”
Shen Qin was about to speak, when the carriage arrived in front of the door and was about to get off.
The sisters followed the maidservant to the back courtyard, and the men went to the front yard to drink.
Mrs. Chaohua loves peach blossoms very much, and her home is a ten-mile peach forest, and now it is a piece of red, and the wind blows, and the petals fall to the ground, which is pleasing to the eye. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a living water, and there are peach petals, peach tree leaves and other fancy utensils of various shapes floating in the water, some containing fine wine, some containing snacks, floating down the stream all the way, quite meaningful.
Whatever the guest likes, he picks it up.
Eighteen Niang just entered the garden, was stopped, she looked at it, it turned out to be Li Huanting, Li Huanting is the daughter of the Li family in Longxi, she was also studying in Fanyang before, she just married Chang'an last year, and it is also pretty to say, she married the Sun family, but she is the eldest son of the long house, and she is Sun Liancheng's sister-in-law.
"Sister Huanting, I haven't seen you for a year, but you are a little mellow, it can be seen that your brother-in-law treats you like a jewel." Eighteen Niang pulled Shen Qin and walked up with a smile. Li Huanting's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, her face was ruddy, she looked good, and she had been pregnant for several months.
Xu hadn't seen the old man for a long time, Li Huanting was a little excited, took Eighteen's hand, looked around, lowered her voice and said: "Where is it better to be a daughter-in-law than to be a daughter, you are young now, and play more first." Fortunately, my stomach is angry, and I can finally get better. Who is this? ”
Eighteen Niang was stunned, she didn't expect that Shen Qin had been in Chang'an for so many years, and there were still female relatives who didn't know her.
"It's my sister Shen Qin, she has been raised in Chang'an, and she has a quiet temperament, so she rarely comes out to walk."
Li Huanting had a hearty personality and smiled at Shen Qin: "I was newly married and came to Chang'an not long ago, and many people can't recognize it, so my sister is not strange." Speaking of which, we almost became concubines. ”
She pulled the two of them to a more remote place and said softly: "You can be regarded as having escaped, that person is a young son in the third room, and it is dark inside." My third aunt is so powerful that she can't do it, if you get married, you don't have any bones left, and your aunt is really ruthless, and she actually pushed you into the fire pit. ”
After that, he pointed to a little girl in a green shirt on the side and said, "That's his sister." That expression turned out to be disdainful.
Shen Qin's whole face was pale, before Eighteen Niang said this, she thought she hated the Wu family, but now, others also said the same.
Eighteen Niang is grateful to Li Huanting in her heart, the best friends of the girlhood are different, even if they get married, they can't forget the previous friendship.
This is also why the upstarts want to marry a family girl, and the relationship that is surrounded by the rings does not know when it will come in handy.
"Sister Ting, thank you so much. My sister has a gentle temperament, and she was almost killed by that villain. By the way, I got some good ginseng a few days ago, and now you are pregnant with a fetus, so I will send it to you to prepare, but you have to give birth to a big fat boy safely. ”
When Li Huanting heard this, she smiled and poked Eighteen Niang's forehead, "I love to hear what you say." ”
The three of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The little girl in green on the side, watching the three of them talking and laughing, couldn't help but run over, and said to Li Pingting: "Sister-in-law, don't talk and laugh by yourself, my mother let you lead me." The Peach Blossom Party is about to start in a while, and we won't be able to grab a good position if we don't go again. ”
Li Pingting looked impatient, and didn't say anything to her, but said to Eighteen Niang and Shen Qin with a smile: "Let's go together, this peach blossom party is to watch the little girls show their talents, and the first name can get the jewelry made by Mrs. Chaohua." Eighteen is still young, don't worry, but it's the piano girl, don't miss it. ”
