Chapter 8 The Gathering of Daughters
After a few days, I gradually got used to the life of the Ming Dynasty, and the days of clothes and food did make me feel comfortable, except for the disadvantage of not having chili peppers, life here is perfect in my dictionary.
On this day, the snow was falling outside like goose feathers, and the white ground was like a thick silk quilt.
Xu Qi is helping me with my makeup, and my long black and shiny hair is really not the same grade as I did in modern times, and I wonder if this is my own hair.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and it was still the same face, but my skin was like fat, not as dull as before. The green silk is pulled into a peach blossom bun, and the eyebrows are lightly traced. smiled slightly, the deep pear vortex was still there, the lips were red and the teeth were white, the complexion was much better, and the whole person looked radiant. Wearing a red dress and a fur cape, I feel as if I am not the same person anymore.
"Eldest sister!" Suddenly, I heard a crisp and pleasant voice outside the door. Xu Qi walked neatly to open the door, only to hear her call:
"Third Miss is here!"
I know that Xu Da has three daughters, but I have never seen them yet. A few days ago, I heard that the second and third ladies went to Xie Mansion to visit their grandfather and grandma, but they didn't expect to come back today.
"It's really cold this day, how are you, eldest sister? Jin'er just came back yesterday and heard that the eldest sister woke up, but she was so happy, but her father said that the eldest sister just wanted to recuperate, and she couldn't come here until today, I'll take a look at ......! A little girl threw herself into my arms, I pulled her away slightly, and looked carefully, the little girl was only seven or eight years old, wearing a begonia wide-sleeved short jacket, with a densely pleated long skirt underneath, handsome, although she had not grown up, it was not difficult to see that she would be a beauty embryo in the future, and she smiled slightly with innocence and childishness.
"Jin'er is here, I'm already well!" I smiled slightly, and the little girl looked up and grinned, and then said:
"Look, it's really good, it's really good, eldest sister, since you got sick, no one has played with Jin'er. Sister Miaoyun will stay in the house all day to embroider, which is really boring! Jin'er frowned, and arched into my arms again.
"I heard from afar that Jin'er made me bad at my sister's place, why, when my sister woke up, she disgusted me, the second sister!" Following the prestige, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walked in. She looks slender and curvy, with facial features similar to mine, but there is less pear vortex and more calm between chuckles, with a little pink on her face, combing her crested head, a light red butterfly moonflower skirt, and a snow-white fox fur cloak, which brings in a sunny and warm airflow.
I looked outside the door, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining everywhere in the courtyard. She called me sister, presumably she was the sister Miaoyun that Jin'er said.
"Where's the word, Jin'er is being coquettish!" I smiled and took her outstretched hand. Looking at the face similar to mine, I really sighed at the greatness of the Creator, and I wondered if I also have a long-lost sister in modern times.
"My sister's complexion seems to be really good, no wonder my father and mother were smiling at the dinner table last night!" Miaoyun smiled softly, gentle and generous, and casually straightened my loose cloak, but I always felt as if there was a distance from her. There's no way, whoever makes the family a model for everyone's girlfriends, I can't reach it.
"Daddy was afraid that I would get cold, so he asked me to eat in the house, and I couldn't go out to accompany you!" Stretched out his hand and pinched Jin'er's white and tender little face and said.
"It's out of the way, sister, as long as you're well, it's the best!" Miaoyun held my hand tightly, and said:
"I heard my father say that although my sister is cured, she ......"
I know she is going to talk about amnesia, and it seems that Daddy Xu Da has spread this matter widely. This is just right, saving me a lot of trouble, after all, it is very tiring to always pretend to be self-cooked.
"Ahem...... Yes, yes! I can't remember a lot of things! I giggled.
Miaoyun gently wiped her tears on her face with a handkerchief with a painful face, and I sighed: This ancient woman is also easy to be sad!
"Sister, you don't have to be sad, don't worry, the whole house will definitely come up with a way to help my sister regain her memory!" Her words made me stunned for a moment, chick, do you think I look sad like this?
"That's right, eldest sister, what the eldest sister doesn't remember, when the eldest sister recovers, Jin'er will tell you one by one!" Jin'er poked her head out of my arms and said solemnly.
I smiled, and then gossiped with them, after all, they were sisters who were killed halfway, and it took me some time to get used to.
"I'll just come over and take a look, Daddy said, my sister still needs to recuperate, don't let us quarrel for too long, Jin'er won't leave quickly?" At the end, Miaoyun reached out to pull Jin'er, and Jin'er tightened into my arms like a trick;
"No, I haven't talked enough to my eldest sister!"
"Jin'er! Don't argue with my sister, when my sister recovers, I can play with Jin'er every day" Miaoyun continued to coax Jin'er, but Jin'er didn't eat this set, I might as well bully me.
"Jin'er, the eldest sister is a little tired, I want to rest, is it okay?" I persuaded me with a good voice, to be honest, these relatives are like the aunt next door to me, half-baked. I still have to talk old sayings, my tongue fights, and I'd rather be alone.
"Alright! That eldest sister, you are so good, but you have to have fun with Jin'er! Jin'er reluctantly climbed off me.
"Look at my sister who is used to her, she knows how to play all day long, and she doesn't care about the homework taught by her husband at all." Miaoyun was full of complaints, but her eyebrows and eyes were raised. It is conceivable that Jin'er, this girl, has been pampered.
When they were far away, I sighed and asked, "This second young lady, third young lady is usually kind to me?" ”
When I said this, Xu Qi's eyes were about to fall: "Miss, you don't remember this?" ”
"Nonsense, my father and mother can't remember, will they still remember them?" I was lying on the table spinning my teacup and playing.
Xu Qi wiped his forehead, as if pinching a cold sweat, and finally said: "Kind, the third miss sticks to the young lady all day long, and it can be said that they are inseparable." Second Miss, she is also very close to Miss on weekdays. ”
"Oh! Looks like that Miaoyun is quite ladylike! I muttered.
"That's natural, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion should be dignified and gentle, the young lady used to ......" Xu Qi was halfway through his speech, and he didn't dare to say any more.
I ignored her desire to say something, anyway, I knew that in the past, as the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, I was naturally a gentle and dignified lady. Now I do have some hanging, plus I don't know how to be polite.
I don't want to be one of those ignorant women and children in the Ming Dynasty, and I know all day long that I read the three obedience and four virtues. I just love to drink a lot, oh no, drink a lot of tea, full of chopsticks and vegetables, plus gobble up, little girl, do you care? No one cares!
Seeing that the sun is getting stronger and stronger, the clear sky is clear blue, transparent like jasper. I sighed, I held in these four walls for a few days, and I was about to go crazy, but Xu Da's father said that I was just sick, and it was not suitable to blow the wind, so as not to catch the wind and cold, and even the opportunity to go to the hospital was deprived, which was really distressing to death.
Think about the Ning Guofu and Rongguo Mansion written in the Dream of Red Mansions, aren't they all the same level as our current Wei State Mansion? It's magnificent, carved beams and paintings, and it's a diamond-level villa in modern times, but unfortunately, I only see the suite in the villa.
