Lady of the High Gate [12] Attend the banquet
Only then did the county lord of Liufang really recognize it: "Ah, you girl, I haven't seen you for a few months, how can you be like a different person, you are so slim and elegant, as tender as a green onion, this is going to be touched outside, where do I dare to recognize you." I don't know how many Xiao Langjun are going to ask me about you today. ”
She turned to her close friend again: "Did you find any elixir somewhere, don't hide it, bring me two too, make me young." ”
"Look at your mouthful, neat, go in quickly, you are the master, so you can gossip here."
Lord Liufang said: "Exactly, please come in, the first cup of Xinju is cooked for you, you try it, and see how the finished product is this year." ”
The two elders walked and talked in front of each other, and the two juniors Yan Xi and Ruoyu followed behind in a proper manner. Not to mention anything else, the young ladies who come out are indeed different, like Ruoyu, a lady who has been taught by her mother since she was a child, and she does have a noble demeanor that Yan Xi is ashamed of.
For example, the pearl on his head and the ring on his waist, between walking, Ruo Yu will never make any movement, but no matter how careful Yan Xi is, there will always be a small sound.
Another example is Fang Cai, which is also luggage, and she can only see the deferential and petty meaning of the salute, but if the rumor salutes, the respect is faintly revealing a kind of accustomed generosity and calmness.
This must have been cultivated slowly after long-term training since childhood, and it is not something that can be done overnight.
Although Yan Xi said that she was a young lady in the Qiao family, because she was a concubine and inconspicuous, it is estimated that she had not been taught these things before, and as for her biological aunt and daughter, she probably couldn't count on etiquette.
Several people entered a cloister, and from the front yard came a steward, with two mustaches, blank eyes, and a dying face, slightly yellow.
But seeing that the girl beside the county lord of Liufang shouted into the distance: "Steward Xu-"
The steward seemed to be startled, and was stunned for a long time before saluting them from afar.
The face of the county lord of Liufang was not very good: "I smiled, this Xu steward has just come back from Yuzhou to do business, and it is strange to come back with a whole person, and today he accidentally broke into the backyard house, which is really unseemly." ”
Wang comforted: "Maybe I'm tired, didn't I come back from outside just now, I didn't come in spirit for a while, and I took the wrong way, you have a banquet today, don't spoil your interest." How many big girls are there in Beijing, Xiao Langjun stretches his neck and waits for your banquet to achieve a good fate. ”
The county lord of Liufang was coaxed by her to be happy, so he ignored it. After a while, the group turned out of the cloister and entered the courtyard where the female guests were entertained.
Wang's this year is really taking advantage of the excitement, if the rumor is thin, especially elegant, among a group of boudoir girls of the same age, extremely outstanding. In addition, the tea fragrance of Xinju is really sweet, which is her favorite on weekdays, so many catties a year, how is it not as sweet as the aftertaste concocted by the lord of Liufang County, and she has to work tirelessly every year to hand over this handkerchief, and always have to dry a few taels for her by hand, taking advantage of the banquet, tasting it is not counted, but also packed and taken away.
After two teas, the people invited have come to seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and their own mothers who can be in charge came to lead the ladies to the middle courtyard and the Xiaolangjun to fight through the veil.
According to the old practice of previous years, several large pavilions in the middle courtyard have already been covered with layers of moon veils, and the ladies are in them, either making poems or writing orders, or painting on the piano, eager to try.
