Chapter eighty-four, an inch of silk and an inch of gold
The next day, Yu Xijiao didn't get up early, and after freshening up, she looked at the sky outside, and it was still early.
"Girl, Madame told you to wait in the house in the morning, saying that the tooth woman will come over later, so that you can pick someone well." Mama Xu came in to report.
There are too few people waiting here in Yaoshui Pavilion, only two or three kittens are left, and if there are no more people, let alone serving, even the hygiene is not complete.
"Madame...... Didn't go to the Yuanhou Mansion? When Yu Xijiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved, and when she was in a commotion in the Marquis Mansion yesterday, she didn't see the Qian family.
"The second girl is sick, and the lady came back to take care of the second girl, and she won't go for a few days, and I'll go to see it when the funeral happens." Mama Xu said.
"Second sister is sick? What disease? Yu Xijiao reached out and took the wet handkerchief handed by Qingyue, wiped her hands and asked.
"It was said that it was in the guest room of the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan, and he suffered from the wind cold or something, anyway, after coming back, the wind and cold entered the body, and he was recuperating in the mansion at this time, and the Hou Ye meant not to walk around when he was sick, so as not to collide with anything."
What did you collide with? The corners of Yu Xijiao's lips hooked silently, this is a good reason, so Yu Yuxi doesn't have to go, and the Qian family can't go, so it means not to contaminate the muddy water of the Marquis Mansion?
I don't know if this is what my father means, or what my second sister means?
"Mama Xu, when you go to report to Mrs., just say that I will go to the Marquis Mansion in the morning, and when I come back in the afternoon, I will let Yapo come over in the afternoon."
Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment.
"Girl, I'm afraid not." Hearing her say this, Mama Xu's face turned bitter, "The people around Madame specially explained that Ya Po came over in the morning." ”
Yu Xijiao stood up, walked slowly to the window, made a small sound from the corner of her skirt, and said coldly: "It's just a tooth woman, is it possible that I am a daughter of the Hou Mansion, and I can't let a tooth woman wait a little longer?" ”
Going to the Yuanhou Mansion in the morning and going to the Yuanhou Mansion in the afternoon are completely two meanings, and she has no suitable reason, so she will inevitably go over in the morning.
What's more, today's second aunt is also here for her, and she has a follow-up to yesterday's events......
"Mama Xu, you just go to report to Madame, say that it is me, I will go to the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan first, if Madame has any urgent matter, let her come to me later."
It's a big deal to see a tooth woman!
If she is really a girl who does not swerve in the world, she can't say that she thinks that the Qian family is kind, and she delayed going to the Marquis Mansion to help in order to wait for a tooth woman, this matter is a joke.
A joke that makes people laugh at themselves.
Who is Ya Po, whose funeral is happening in the Marquis Mansion?
If you are as sick as Yu Yuxi, you can't say anything, the Qian family takes care of Yu Yuxi and stays, in fact, she doesn't know the etiquette, but the Qian family must be Mrs. Hou, and a little bit of etiquette for the sake of her beloved daughter is nothing, what about herself? A Houmen concubine who has just arrived in the capital is now also posing, which makes people unspeakable.
After asking Mama Xu to reply, Yu Xijiao took Jingyue to Zhengyuan Marquis's Mansion, there were many people in the sacrificial hall, the main family was Yu Lanxue, and the white mans fluttered in front of the mourning hall, except for a few maid rings when the offerings were made, her expression was shrunk and nervous, but she couldn't see anything abnormal.
Yu Lanxue was already there, and when she saw Yu Xijiao coming in, she was about to come over to talk.
Yu Xijiao took the incense offering in Qingyue's hand without squinting, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and then inserted the incense into the current incense burner.
looked left and right, found a straw mat in front of the brazier and knelt down, that was the position of the "filial son".
Yesterday, this position was the daughter of the third room kneeling here, and there were also the daughters of the Yu clan, I didn't see it today, and only Yu Lanxue knelt on the other side of the mourning hall.
Seeing her kneeling down here, Yu Lanxue was inconvenient to come over again, so she still knelt opposite Yu Xijiao, and burned some paper money and the like in silence with Yu Xijiao.
The people who are closer to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion have basically come to worship yesterday, and the ones who come over today are all farther away and not too important.
The number of people is also not large.
Not long after Yu Xijiao knelt down, the second uncle Mu Leshi came, and after worshipping the spiritual position above, he turned his head and saw Yu Xijiao and walked over.
"Second aunt!" Yu Xijiao said softly.
"Jiao'er, you take me to meet the ladies of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion." Leshi reached out and pulled her.
Yu Xijiao got up, looked left and right, and pointed to a housekeeper of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion and said, "You come over first." ”
"Miss Yu!" When the housekeeper saw Yu Xijiao greeting her, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"This is my second aunt, the wife of the Xie clan in Jiangnan, I want to meet a few ladies in your house, I don't know who is free?" Yu Xijiao said lightly.
The Xie clan in Jiangnan has always been a big family, admired by the scholars, even this housekeeper also knows, hearing that this is the lady of the Xie family in front of him, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Madame, wait a minute, the slave maid go and see where the ladies are now?" ”
Xie nodded, pulled Yu Xijiao to the side of the sacrificial hall and asked about her injuries.
"Second aunt, there's nothing to do anymore, I'm using medicine, and I'm also drinking medicine." Yu Xijiao said softly.
Le's uncomfortably pulled her injured hand, moved slightly, and saw that her face remained unchanged, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "With such a long injury on your hand, you can't slack off, wait for my aunt to turn back to Jiangnan to find out if there is any particularly good scar removal medicine, how can there be such a big scar on the girl's body." ”
Looking at the second aunt's earnest appearance, Yu Xijiao suddenly remembered that in the dream, Yu Xijiao in the dream was also dead, and the dead body was lost, and the second aunt who knew the news should be in pain.
Did the second aunt at that time go back to Jiangnan, or didn't she return?
There was no answer to everything, and Yu Xijiao didn't dare to think about it, her inexplicable nose was sour, she reached out and hugged Le's, rubbed her head on her shoulder, and murmured: "Second uncle, I'll be fine, and I won't let you worry anymore." ”
Seeing her little daughter snuggling up to her side, Le's heart softened, and she hurriedly reached out to hug Yu Xijiao, and replied domineeringly: "That's good, if someone bullies you, you go back to Jiangnan, and your second aunt and grandmother will make decisions for you." ”
After speaking, his eyes turned around, and he didn't see Qian, and he really felt regretful.
I have to say this in front of the Qian family, to see if she dares to bully Jiao'er, even if Jiao'er doesn't have the pain of her parents, she has elders and relatives who can make decisions for her.
On the other side of the sacrifice hall, Yu Lanyan looked at the scene in front of her, a trace of depth flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly lowered her head, concentrating on burning paper money.
The mother-in-law came back quite quickly, and came over with a smile on her face: "Second Mrs. Xie, our wife is sick and it is inconvenient to see you, so Second Madam invites you to sit in the flower hall." ”
Le's face sank, put down Yu Xijiao's hand and said, "Go." ”
The mother-in-law led the way in front, and Le's took Yu Xijiao to the flower hall.
There are fewer and fewer female dependents in the flower hall, last night was so frightened, today many female dependents of the Yu clan found various reasons not to come, and they really couldn't shirk it, so they planned to come and see it during the day, and they would never come at night, this matter...... It's so scary, who would dare to come over.
Now there is everything that is secretly said.
Le's brought Yu Xijiao over, but Ning's didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly got up to greet him.
After the two sides saluted, the guests sat down, and Yu Xijiao sat down behind Le's.
"Mrs. Ning, I came this time to send a sacrifice to the Marquis Mansion of Lanxuan County and Zhengyuan." After looking at Ning a few times, Leshi said.
"I don't know what special relationship Second Mrs. Xie has with my sister-in-law and niece?" Ning Yili asked, Le's here, she was also confused, and the two families had no direct relationship.
"Three years ago, Lanxuan County Jun saved Jiao'er in Jiangnan, and this time I also came on behalf of our Xie Mansion to thank Lan Xuan County Jun." Le Shi said, nodding his hand and beckoning to the four rings behind him.
The four girls stepped forward, each holding a gift box in their hands, and they looked like a lot.
"Three years ago, Jiao'er was still a child, and she almost had an accident when she went out of the house, if it weren't for Lan Xuan County, this child's life would not have been spared, but at that time, Lan Xuan County Jun left in a hurry, and our house didn't have time to thank him, this time he originally brought a gift to Beijing, and now he is enshrined in front of Lan Xuan County's spirit as a funeral item."
The so-called burial goods are the burial goods, which are buried in the ground along with the coffin.
Ning stood up, walked over to a few maid rings, and reached out to lift up the few pieces of white cloth that were covered.
Seeing the gift in the hand of Yahuan clearly, the people present couldn't help but marvel, four gifts, a set of exquisite jewelry, ruby and round pearls, red and white intertwined, the beauty of the people present were shocked, and the jewelry in the capital is a little different, there are more pearls, although there is also this interactive production method in the capital, but the pearls are just embellishment, this is equally divided.
There is a sense of interaction.
The people present were all female dependents, and they had no resistance to this shiny thing, and a few young people couldn't help but stand up.
One is brocade, the brocade in the south of the Yangtze River has always been famous, these pieces of material are rare at a glance, and can even be compared with tribute.
The two boxes look at the extremely delicate incense powder, and it looks like the most famous butterfly feather pavilion in the capital.
"Butterfly Feather Pavilion, this is the finest golden shadow."
"It looks like yes, there's a ring of gold edges outside, a silver shadow in front of me."
"I heard that there are also 100 boxes of golden shadows a year, and there is no market for them, this is ...... How could there be two boxes. "The younger female writers are concerned about these two boxes of incense powder, the fragrance powder of the Butterfly Feather Pavilion has always been the most sought after by the daughters of the Beijing family, and the one in front of them is the best of the best, almost no one present has used it, and the gaze that falls on it is substantial.
One box is already enviable, and now two boxes have been given, how is it not exciting.
The eyes of some of the older ladies fell on the last ceremony, which was a delicate interstitial screen, with a hundred flowers blooming on the front and a red happy father climbing the branches in the back.
"Is this double-sided embroidery?"
"It's really double-sided embroidery, with flowers on one side and birds on the other, and the meaning is good."
"It's silk...... Right? ”
"Really, it's silky!"
Double-sided embroidery is unique to Jiangnan, but it is unique, it is also rare, and the use of silk, it is more precious, Jiangnan is known as an inch of silk and an inch of gold.
The gift in front of him was indeed big enough and precious enough to attract the attention of many people, and Ning's breathing involuntarily became shorter......
