Not long after noon, the Tong girl from the same square came to Wang Ronghe, and Wang Ronghe saw her, "Isn't it suffocated?" ”

"Of course." Tong Daniu said, "Obviously they are all neighbors on the same street, and they are obviously curious to death, but they are inquiring openly and secretly, but they don't ask for clarification head-on." ”

"What do you want to ask me?" Wang Ronghe asked with a smile.

"I want to ask you what clothes you wore and what jewelry you wore when you went to the Wuqinghou Mansion for the banquet that day, and do you know why Mrs. Wuqinghou asked us to go to the banquet." Tong Daniu counted them one by one, "It's all questions that my mother wants to know, so I don't want to know." ”

"Is it me or my sister?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"My mother wants to know about the second girl, but I want to know yours." Tong Daniu said, "My mother made me a pink one, I don't think I'm suitable for that color, and I don't feel comfortable wearing it." ”

"Then you go back and tell your mother that my second sister was wearing pink that day, and your mother won't let you wear pink." Wang Ronghe said, "I'll just wear a tender yellow dress and comb a double bun, I'm still young." ”

"Sixteen years old, still young." Tong Daniu said, "My mother said that you didn't say that you got married last year, and this year you met the emperor's wedding, and you had to go out of the cabinet at seventeen or eighteen." ”

"I'm not looking forward to getting out of the cabinet, it's better later." Wang Ronghe said.

Tong Daniu complained to Wang Rong and said this, and left satisfied after eating a belly of snacks.

When he went to the banquet that day, Wang Ronghe saw that Tong Daniu was still wearing a pink color that she didn't like, the same color as Wang Zhixi, in fact, among the eleven girls, seven of them wore this color that could show the girl's delicate color well, and the remaining two wore bright red, one wore calm blue, and only Wang Ronghe wore a tender yellow and a double flat hanging bun.

The banquet is a luncheon, Cui's got up early in the morning to work for Wang Zhixi, Wang Zhixi is wearing the latest new clothes made today, pink collared jacket with the same color pleated skirt, two embroidered tapes hanging down on both sides of the waist, and there are sachets and jade pendants and other things, the sleeves and skirts embroidered with the four friends of the year, draped in a red shawl, the waist is full of a hand, the hair is half scattered and half is scattered, and the jewelry is mainly elegant tassels, which is quite the charm of the goddess of Luoshui.

Wang Fushang is wearing a much simpler dress, the same pink skirt, but it is an old dress during the Chinese New Year, and it is embroidered with a pattern of peace and security. She lay on the side, watching her mother and the housekeeper circle around her sister together, and praised the girl for being a fairy.

Wang Ronghe had a normal routine on this day, and after waking up, he first did a complete set of stretching movements on the bed, and then went to the toilet energetically, combed after washing, untied the big braid that he braided at night, patted some incense powder on his head, and then used a comb to run his hair from beginning to end, and then pulled his hair in a bun after more than 200 strokes.

The hair is divided into two parts, combed to the top of the hair to be fixed into a bun, the hanging hair is divided into two, half is loosely tied into a ring, half is braided into a small braid and then tied into a ring, and the pearl is used as a hair ornament to embellish, and then the long tender yellow gauze belt is tied into a bow on the ring hair and hangs down softly, which is full of innocence.

The apricot yellow round-neck top with a goose yellow jacket does not deliberately show the waist, the underwear and outer clothes are trimmed with light purple, the lower body is a moonlight skirt, the eight-treasure Yingluo circle is worn around the neck, and the crane pattern gilt silver incense ball hung on the waist, which holds the incense given to her by Sun. He did not wear a ring, only a pair of white jade bracelets on his wrist. A pair of silver leaves with pearl earrings hang from the tips of the ears. The face is powdered, the thrush is painted, and the lips are covered with vermilion paper. In less than half an hour, the makeup was ready.

"Alright, let's go and say hello to my grandmother." Wang Rong said after taking a selfie with the mirror.

The old lady felt shallow, waiting for her for a long time, Wang Ronghe didn't like to apply powder on weekdays, and the old lady looked at it twice and said, "You look how good you look at dressing up, and I don't see you pampering yourself on weekdays." ”

"It's good that my grandmother only praises me, and the latter sentence doesn't need to be said." Wang Rong said with Sajiao.

When it was time to eat, Wang Wei asked left and right, "What about the wife?" ”

"She told me yesterday that she won't be able to dine in the courtyard with the second girl and the third girl today." The old lady said, "I agree, it takes a long time for girls to dress up for the banquet." ”

Wang Wei looked at Wang Ronghe and said, "Then why are you still here?" ‘’

"I'm already dressed." Wang Ronghe said, she turned around, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Wang Wei said, "Your mother doesn't care about your dress? ”

"Oops, just look good." Wang Ronghe said, "Let's eat, I will go to the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion today, for the sake of image, I will definitely not be able to eat, I have to eat at home before I go." ”

"You should eat, you should drink, you can eat is a blessing, don't care about face." Wang Wei said.

"Have someone prepare a snack in the wagon and eat it when they get back to the wagon." The old lady said, "Which girl are you taking with you?" ”

"Disease-free." Wang Ronghe said, "Be disease-free and calm." ”

By the time Wang Zhixi was arranged, it was already the last time to go out, and other people outside the door had already come to urge three times, and Wang Ronghe saw Wang Zhixi's heartfelt admiration for the first time. "The second sister is really beautiful today."

"Big sister is also beautiful today." Wang Zhixi said, only Wang Fushang said a little bluntly, "How does the big sister dress up today." ”

Wang Ronghe pursed her lips and smiled, this is what she did on purpose. Whoever she loves, she doesn't want to enter the palace anyway.

When they got off the carriage at the side gate of the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion, the ladies saw what each other was wearing today, and they glanced up and down, but they all moved away from Wang Zhixi, farther away.

Wuqinghou Mansion is a big mansion with five rooms and nine frames, from the side door on the soft sedan chair, shook for a quarter of an hour to the place of the banquet, Mrs. Wuqinghou's eldest daughter-in-law waited in the flower hall to entertain, and waited until the girls were all standing, before saying, "I heard the magpie call this morning, and I knew that there should be a distinguished guest at home. ”

The eleven girls were ranked according to their father's official position, and among them were the daughters of the servants of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the sisters of the Wang family were not in the first place. The Hou Mansion is so big, luxurious and extraordinary, the little girls in Andingfang are essentially small jasper, and they can't help but look around, Wang Zhixi pulled Wang Fushang a little and asked her not to look around,

When I arrived at the wing room where Mrs. Wuqinghou was, the girls from Wuqinghou's Mansion were also inside, and when these eleven girls came in, there was a room of warblers and Yanyan, and Wang Ronghe was almost not smoked. When the girl saw the ceremony, Mrs. Wu Qinghou was very happy, "Oh, this girl is really smart." ”

Mrs. Wuqinghou handed Qi Zhixi to her, and others were envious and jealous. I couldn't say a few words, and I was afraid that Mrs. Wu Qinghou also felt that the fragrance was a little flushing, so she asked her own girls to take these girls to the garden.

When I got out of the wing room and went to the garden, I was about the same age, and I quickly became acquainted with each other. What the little girl can talk about is nothing more than clothes and jewelry, but when it comes to clothes and jewelry, the Houfu girl is better than the little girl of Andingfang, and the cloth that the Houfu girl is looking for is already a good material that the little girl of Andingfang can use during the New Year's Festival. Actually, it's quite boring to talk about.

The little girls in the Hou Mansion have been looking at Wang Zhixi as if they were nothing, and for women, beauty is always something that they pay special attention to. Miss Li Si asked Wang Ronghe, "Why are you not like your sister?" ”

"The nine sons of the dragon are still different." Wang Ronghe replied with a smile. A neighbor girl in Andingfang said quickly, "They weren't born by a mother, so they naturally don't look like them." Wang Ronghe looked at her, although his face was smiling, his eyes made the fast-talking person lower his head and hide aside.

"Is there a difference?" Miss Li Si asked curiously.

"My mother is also in the main room." Wang Fushang said dissatisfiedly. "Ming Media is marrying eight people who carry a sedan chair."

"They're all concubines." Wang Ronghe said. "I thought the Hou Mansion should have known about this." I should have investigated it before the next post, why is it so rude to ask in person now.

"Fourth sister." Miss Li San came out to relieve the siege and said, "Miss Wang, don't blame, my sister is just a little more curious, and she is also very forgetful, and she forgot her back foot when she said it to her, so she always has to ask." ”

"I see." Wang Ronghe smiled shyly and said, "I thought that the four girls were curious, don't be the wrong one we came, not the one that the Hou Mansion wanted to invite." ”

"Nothing." Miss Li San said that she asked Wang Zhixi, "Is the lamp that Andingfang sold for 3,000 taels really made by you?" It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see each other. ”

"Originally, it wasn't for sale, all the 3,000 taels were given to Tzu Chi Temple for charity fasting, maybe the person who bought the lamp had the heart to do good." Wang Zhixi said.

"The lamp made by Miss Wang is indeed extraordinary, and my mother said that the raw materials for making that lamp are not hundreds of taels." It's still the little girl from Andingfang who said it.

Wang Zhixi only said that it was a pastime, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

"I wonder who bought the lamp is?" Someone asked meaningfully. Seeing that no one responded to the little girl in the Hou Mansion, she said, "It is said that His Majesty bought it, if so, does the second sister of the Wang family still say that it is a vulgar work?" ”

Wang Zhixi was stunned, I said it was a pastime, but I didn't say vulgar.

"If it was really the lamp that His Majesty bought, the court would have fallen out a long time ago, and officials from all walks of life would have to go up and advise His Majesty not to be extravagant." It was the girl of the Ministry of Rites who spoke, she was taller than everyone else, and when she saw that several girls who came with her cared about whether the lamp was bought by His Majesty, she disdained to open her mouth to solve her doubts, and she didn't know such a simple truth, and what was hanging around her neck.

The person who asked the question was a little surprised, who is not like you, the father is a high-ranking official, or there is a newspaper in the family, and it is not a place that the girls can reach.

Seeing that the little girl from Andingfang was about to fight, Miss Li San was busy with a look, and the next person brought a snow-white cat, wow, it is so beautiful, and the girls' hearts were attracted by this beautiful cat that suddenly appeared.

"Grandmother said that the Queen Mother also liked cats when she was in the boudoir in the past." Miss Li Si said, "Grandmother has a cat, so I think of the Queen Mother in front of her." ”

All the girls praised the beauty of the cat, Wang Ronghe looked at it, the person holding the cat was wearing gloves, and took a closer look, the cat's claws were sharp, even if it was very rare, this big white cat was not forward.

"Second Miss Wang, do you want to hug and see?" Miss Li Si said that Wang Zhixi was very moved, this was a complete gesture of goodwill, Wang Ronghe blocked in front of her, and said with a gentle smile, "The cat is very arrogant, the second girl is afraid of cats, it is not good if she is frightened of cats." ”

Wang Zhixi didn't understand why Wang Ronghe said this, gritted his teeth but still didn't refute it, after all, if he refuted with his eldest sister outside, it would not give people a good impression. It's just that Meiyu showed that she still wanted to hug the cat, but her sister said that she wouldn't let her hug it, so she wouldn't hug it. Quite aggrieved.

"Miss Wang is really a good sister." Miss Li Si said. The kind-hearted proposal was rejected by the natural unpleasant, so I randomly ordered another girl to hug the cat, and the girl was very happy and stepped forward to take the cat.

The big white cat flicked its tail impatiently.

The girl wanted to hug closer, rubbed her back hair with her face, but the white cat broke free impatiently, and scratched the girl's arm with her paws.

"Ahh

Wang Ronghe stepped forward to take a look at his arm, fortunately, the winter clothes were thick, only the sleeves of the clothes were scratched, and the skin was only red, and there was no broken skin, "Okay, okay, it's just that the clothes are scratched, and there is no scratching of the hand, and this red mark will not be left." Wang Ronghe said.

"Really?" The girl said pitifully.

"Really, see for yourself." Wang Ronghe said.

"The new clothes are all scratched and damaged." The girl looked at the fact that there was really nothing wrong with her arm, and in a blink of an eye she felt sorry for her clothes again.

Wang Ronghe really wants to say a silly child, you scratched a piece of clothing in the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion is not allowed to accompany you in a few pieces.

Because of this sudden accident, this party ended hastily, and they went home after using the banquet in advance, and the Hou Mansion was sorry to the girl again and again, that is, Mrs. Wuqing Hou also grabbed the girl's hand and asked a few times, and the clothes were naturally changed immediately.

The people of the Hou Mansion personally sent the girl home, and they also prepared some apologies.

When I returned home, I naturally went to my grandmother's house to ask for peace first, and my grandmother asked about the banquet, and Wang Ronghe said lightly, "I was scratched by a cat, is it serious?" ”

"It's not serious, it's just scratching my clothes and I'm a little frightened." Wang Ronghe said, "It's also her luck, she just wants to rub her back with her face, if she lifts the cat to wash, if she scratches her face, she has to make a record." ”

"Cats are very wild, so you should be extra careful when you encounter them in the future." The old lady said. "You should also be careful with the cats in this family, because they are not raised by you, and they are also wild cats to you. The nature comes up to give you a claw, and you have something to bear. ”

And Wang Zhixi's sentence of thanks in his throat was never spoken.
