Volume 1 A Changing Drum: Mo Shang Flowers Bloom, Two Lovesick Places Chapter 46 and the Gift of the Basket (II)
Yun Niang pulled Xiao Tao up, walked to the side to change the skirt, brought it to the eldest lady again, and said with a smile: "It seems to be made especially for her, just right." ”
The eldest lady smiled and nodded, her gaze drifting a little far: "Although it is a little simpler, it is still good." ”
Yun Niang smiled: "It can't be compared to the eldest lady's etiquette at that time." ”
Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask curiously, "What was the eldest lady like at that time?" ”
Yun Niang sighed: "Naturally, half of Jinling City knows about the grandeur. The extravagance, the pomp, from the first day of preparation at night, until the next day's three prostrations, hearings, and rewards, starting from the third daughter's day in March, the house made a three-day feast. ”
Xiao Tao didn't dare to imagine what kind of battle it was, and now these courtesies have flattered her. Yun Niang instructed Xiao Tao to kneel down again, spread out her two handfuls, and the maid brought up a lacquer plate containing an ivory comb and a silver hairpin.
The maid beside the eldest lady brought a copper basin containing water, and the eldest lady put her hand in the basin, picked up the comb, and symbolically combed it on the head of the little peach three times, and each time she combed, the little peach bowed down and bowed once.
Yun Niang had words in her mouth: "One comb is safe and healthy, the second comb is virtuous and virtuous, and the third comb is predetermined---- marriage" Xiao Tao blushed for a while.
After the eldest lady combed it three times, Yun Niang used a hairpin to tie Xiao Tao's hair into a bun, and said with a smile: "From today onwards, she will be a big girl, don't be careless." Peach nodded.
The eldest lady smiled at her and said, "I don't need you to serve today, go out for a walk by myself." Come back before dark in the evening. ”
Xiao Tao gave the eldest lady another salute before withdrawing. The skirt of the eldest lady's skirt is very narrow, and she can only walk in small steps, not run in big steps. Xiao Tao easily twisted back to her room, and she didn't wake up as if she was in a dream. Looking at the head in the mirror, it has now become a bun in one place, which is a lot more charm than before. I'm fifteen years old and I've grown up.
Xiao Tao took out Qi Gongzi's cloak, looked at it with both hands on her cheeks, and suddenly felt a little ashamed. Qi Gongzi is the eldest lady's crush, but he thinks back and forth, is it a little unkind? However, I just thought about it in my heart, and it didn't matter, besides, Mr. Qi was going to marry the eldest lady. I'm just a maidservant, and I won't affect the eldest lady. Xiao Tao was a little annoyed in her heart, always feeling that she was doing something wrong, but she couldn't say it. After thinking about it, he folded Qi Gongzi's cloak neatly, held it on his chest and ran out.
Qi Gongzi said that he was there tomorrow, which means that he should not be there today. Xiao Tao decided to return the cloak today and let the guards send it in. I still don't see Mr. Qi. Although, it would be a bit heart-wrenching.
Qi Gongzi's cloak seemed to be very heavy, and Xiao Tao held it for a long time before moving it outside Qi Gongzi's camp, and the soldiers guarding the door really said that Qi Gongzi and the prince had gone out. Xiao Tao handed the cloak to the soldier guarding the door, begging him to help put it away first, and then hand it over to him when Qi Gongzi returned. To put it mildly, the watchman finally agreed.
Xiao Tao handed over the cloak, but her mood did not relax. turned around and walked a few steps heavily, and when he looked up, he almost collided with a few people who came back. Xiao Tao hurriedly dodged to the side. Walking in the front was a man of about thirty, dressed in a black robe, with a solemn heroic aura between his eyebrows, and he looked very imposing. One of the people who followed behind was Qi Gongzi.
The person walking in front glanced at Xiao Tao, and his voice was a little majestic: "Who is this?" Look at the eyes. ”
Qi Gongzi replied: "Back to the prince, this is from the Zhixun Mansion." ”
