A few days before the Chinese New Year, news came from his hometown that Zhao gave birth to a son, named Liu Gang, and Liu Tonghammer and his wife were very happy to hear it. There are subordinates around the Zhao family, and they also took care of their mother's family, so there is nothing to worry about. It's just that with a little grandson, Liu Tonghammer and his wife are a little homesick. It's just that this year they won't be going back for the New Year. The pearl side needs people more.

Pearl dressed the old people of the Ming family, made clothes for the young children, gave fabrics to the Ming and the three of them, the children had more gold locks and new clothes, and the things for the uncle's family were also fabrics and snacks, as well as gifts for the two cousins, Xiao Qian's maintenance is much better now, and the children are also good. The Gong family of Mingxin also has good news, and the due date should be in the autumn.

Ming Zhen'er is also considered a big child now. In addition to making needlework for his family, he also made clothes for his little nephew. Myeongjeong-a is busy every day now. Although he was just ten years old, he was already an adult, and Pearl felt that in this era, the children were really precocious.

On this day, the family received a post that Mingqian's immediate boss, Master Gaoda's wife, invited the daughters of a good family to come over to enjoy the flowers, and the flowers in their conservatory were all blooming. Pearl took Qingfeng and Liu Zi this time, Sanniu took Mingyue and Zhuyun, and Ming Zhen'er took Xizhao and Shuwan to the banquet together. The family was handed over to the parents.

Master Gao is in his forties for a few years, and he has two sons at home, both of whom have already started a family, and a daughter, who is only twelve years old this year, which is the same age as Ming Zhen'er. This is the first time that Pearl has taken Sanniu and Ming Zhen'er out to socialize, and people with high official positions will not post with their families, and people with low official positions are very low-key, such scenes are rare. The tall people are different, their family is a clear stream, the conditions of the family are medium, and the status of the tall people is high enough. Pearl thought, let the girls around her go out and see. If Sanniu can get into the eyes of others, it will be easier for relatives in the future.

Pearl prepared some gifts, buttered bread made by herself. Snacks, as well as matcha cake and some marshmallows. In the spring, I got some tea leaves and wrapped two bamboo tubes. After Pearl came to the capital, she received the latest tea leaves and put them in the space for preservation. In this way, in winter, the leaves still retain the taste they had when they were first made.

Pearl herself wore a dark green skirt. Wide belt with a bun on his head. This way, no other jewelry is needed. The Wei bun is red gold inlaid with crystal, which is not very heavy, and very elegant, with its own unique style.

The three girls need to dress up well. Considering the temperament of the three girls, Pearl made a set of willow yellow skirts for her sister and tied a belt. The jewelry on the head is simple, only a crystal hairbrush to fix the hair, and a gold tassel is inserted. Stud earrings with pink crystals on their ears. On his wrist he wore a pair of shrimp bracelets, each with a pearl, which was large and round, and was a rare purple color. A red woven gold cloak with white fox fur.

Sanniu's skin and hair are very good now, and she looks elegant. But there is a gentle and dignified feeling, full of affinity. Pearl dressed up her sister with heart today, just to achieve an outfit that is not eye-catching, but also represents a certain strength. His apprentice Ming Zhen'er didn't have so much to care about. Pearl gave the little girl a double-ring bun, and each brought a crystal and diamond butterfly hairpin on her head. Earrings with golden silk peony flowers on the ears. He wore a powder-blue brocade and a snow-white mink coat made of pearls and a hat. On his feet he wore a pair of small red leather boots with bows and rhinestones.

After getting out of the carriage, Pearl and his party arrived, and they were led in front of Mrs. Gao by a face-bearing daughter-in-law. There were already a few people in the hall at this time. Pearls, they came neither early nor late.

"Here comes the pearl. Come and sit down, who are these two beautiful girls? Mrs. Gao said with a smile,

Mrs. Gao is familiar with Pearl. It's because Lord Gundam likes spicy food very much, and people from Sichuan and Shu, of course, there are no other alternatives to chili peppers. Now that there are chili peppers, it is naturally indispensable. Pearl sent a lot of chili peppers and wrote a lot of recipes. Mrs. Gao has benefited a lot, and the gift that Pearl sent when her grandson was full moon last time was very satisfying, so they naturally got close.

Pearl sat down at the suggestion of Mrs. Gao and said, "The big one is my little sister. You can just call her the third girl, this little one is my husband's cousin, and she is also my apprentice, who has been learning embroidery with me. It's called Ming Zhen'er, you can call her Zhen'er. ”

Sanniu and Zhen'er saluted Mrs. Gao together. Pearl met everyone in the house and introduced Sanniu and Ming Zhen'er to everyone. Mrs. Gao was accompanied by two daughters-in-law, as well as colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, among these ladies and young ladies, some were dressed in cloth and had a silver hairpin. Such an environment is very suitable for children to exercise.

There are also two difficult characters in front of Pearl, even if Pearl is exquisite, but it is impossible to please everyone. One is Zhu Jing, the daughter of Master Zhu's family, who is also a bachelor of Hanlin, who is already nineteen years old, because her husband's family has a funeral, and her family affairs have been delayed, but in this way, the future daughter-in-law who keeps filial piety for the old man has a very secure status, and the other party is also a Qingliu family, and there will be no regrets about marriage. She didn't deal with Pearl because she was jealous. There is also a colleague of Ming Qian, the wife of Lord Li Ming's family, Lord Li Ming is only eighteen years old this year, and he is a fellow scholar with Ming Qian, and Pearl has a bad relationship with Mrs. Li, I really don't know how to explain this. But out of a woman's intuition, she felt that this matter must not be simple, because Mrs. Li in front of her was almost everything against Pearl. For example, Pearl didn't wear her favorite red clothes today, and she also found out that this Mrs. Li Wang's several gatherings had something to do with her competition.

"Mrs. Ming brought her sister and cousin over, did she fall in love with someone's talent?" Li Wang's who spoke, this Li Wang's looks a little bad, although her face is also carefully makeup, but she still can't hide her shortcomings, her skin is a little dark, she uses a lot of fat powder, and she looks even weirder, her eyes are big, her double eyelids, her nose is okay, her mouth is small, but her chin is big, and she is thin. Of course, this is compared to pearls.

"Hehe......" Pearl didn't hear,

However, Zhu Jing heard it and said, "I heard that some young men also came today, and it is normal for Mrs. Ming to have some other ideas." ”

The two of them squeezed the pearl together, and the pearl smiled and said, "Is there anyone else?" I don't know. There are good girls in the family, of course, they are not afraid of being seen, but they are not for any young talents. Mrs. Gao is the most reliable, how could there be an embarrassing meeting between men and women at her own party, so she brought her sister over and showed the ladies of the Qingliu family that it was serious, after all, people like us pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. ”

At this time, Mrs. Gao, as the master, felt that it was time to join the discussion, and said to Pearl, "Mrs. Ming is a smart and talented person, I don't know how your sister and apprentice are?" ”

"My third sister is not very proficient in learning, but she only makes some ordinary Four Books and Five Classics and the Four Books read by women. It's slightly better for housekeeping, embroidery and fine brushwork. ”

"Oops! Mrs. Ming is modest, Mrs. Ming's knowledge is known to our masters, and they all say that your family has a lot of books! Needless to say, this embroidery is still in my own room after the interstitial screen sent by Mrs. Ming last time! Mrs. Gao said,

Pearl once sent a bamboo and stone picture of the double-sided embroidery insert to Mrs. Gao, this embroidery picture not only Mrs. Gao likes, even the tall people also feel very meaningful, very like!

"I am envious of the little girls playing so well, I don't know what good varieties Mrs. Gao will show us, I want to take a good look." Pearl said with a smile, Mrs. Gao didn't continue to talk about the girls, this is very correct, everyone just knows it, it's really troublesome, and no one's face looks good.

"But there are a lot of good things, and some roses, which I bought from outside." Mrs. Gao came to be interested,

Zhu Jing sneered and said, "I'm afraid Mrs. Gao doesn't know, right?" Mrs. Ming's maiden brother, but he was born to sell flowers! ”

Everyone's faces were not good-looking, and Pearl smiled and said to Mrs. Gao, who was a little angry, "That's right, my mother's family really planted a lot of good flowers, especially in winter, those flowers were sold, but it solved a lot of problems for our family!" I also plant flowers on my own Zhuangzi, my original intention is just to have more inputs, I didn't expect, so many flowers planted, but it has become a scene in Zhuozhou, if you have the opportunity to go to Zhuozhou, tell me, it will definitely lead you to see.
