Chapter 497: Plum Banquet

After Mrs. Tian learned that the Yan family's clothes were all made by Rong Niangzi, at the suggestion of Li Xuemei, she took her to visit the cloth mill and embroidery village in the city in two days.

After coming back, Mama Rong began to sew her own body.

Mrs. Tian's newly bought good-looking fabric was still not very comfortable for her to use, so she took out the fabric at the bottom of her box, a piece of material with a heavier color, and said that she would add a new dress to Mrs. Rong, and she made it herself.

Rong Mama has a neat cut, the needles are also fast, and she can reproduce those simple embroidery patterns, but the embroidery is too old-fashioned, the needles used are thick, the thread is not good enough, and the sense of agility is lacking.

But it was enough to surprise Mrs. Tian.

She traced the pattern of the new clothes on the paper, and was with Li Xuemei every day, and the two of them had a lot of repairs and modifications, and handed it over to Rong Niangzi to cut and sew after the shape was set.

The family's new clothes were completed one after another.

Yan Yu has two pieces, one is a pink skirt, although the fabric is ordinary, the color is indeed dyed brightly, and it is done with care, the neckline and cuffs have two-color entwined thread seams, adding a bit of exquisiteness.

The other is a small scholar's robe, which is the same as Yan Xiangheng's ivory white, with no embroidery on the whole body, and the finishing touch is at the belt, which is based on the crow-blue fabric left over from the clothes for Yan Huaiwen and Yan Laoer, and embroidered with black, silver, and light blue silk threads with the pattern of a double flying tiger winning pearls.

Inspired by the opening gift sent by the prince - Flying Tiger Copper Town.

Li Xuemei was finally willing to take it out and put it on display for Mrs. Tian to trace the design.

When Yan Yu tried on ready-to-wear clothes, the upper body of the scholar's robe only felt unremarkable, and it also highlighted the rounded figure of her gas canister, but as soon as she added the belt, her spirit was raised, and then she wore the jade ring given by her uncle, hanging down her waist, and immediately became more heroic and noble.

Yan Yu turned around in a circle with satisfaction, but unfortunately there was no mirror, so he could only rely on his own brain to make up for it and see the effect from the reactions of the people around him.

……

It's the day of the winter solstice.

The Yan family got up early to freshen up.

The advantage of having a tofu workshop at home is that you can drink the purest and most authentic soy milk every day.

Yan Lao Er got up the oil pot today, preparing to fry the fritters in the morning, and then use the remaining fried tofu to soak.

As soon as the fritters were served, Li Xuemei drank half a bowl of soy milk.

I got up and went to the hut twice......

Her body can't hold much water now, and the thatched house runs very hard.

Either Yan Lao Er accompanied him or Yan Yu accompanied him.

Yan Lao Er once proposed to let her use a spittoon, but Li Xuemei refused without thinking about it.

She felt that she was not at that level yet, she could still walk, and she didn't want to live a life of being carried back and forth by the two of them now......

Mrs. Tian invited a lady to comb her hair and put makeup on their hair.

She only inserted a silver comb herself, which was very simple.

Qianchu inserted two begonia velvet flowers on his head, and cleverly wound with two strings of small bead chains, and the small pearls with large and irregular rice grains surrounded the velvet flowers, hanging down in the ears, and the earrings of the silver begonias, which are very commensurate.

Yan Yu is the simplest, only tied with a red rope.

The lady who combs her hair also wears makeup.

She looked at the two sisters for a while, and she couldn't wipe the rouge on her hands.

This pair of sisters, with white skin and red lips, and a slightly pink face, the big one looks like a fairy, and the small one looks like a fairy when she was a child......

Mrs. Tian saw her embarrassment: "I'm tired of the lady." As he spoke, he handed over two strings of copper plates.

The lady who combed her hair accepted the copper plate, and her smile became more and more sincere: "Oh, your daughter is so handsome!" I don't know where to wipe this pink and rouge, and I will reduce the color when I wipe it, which is really natural beauty! ”

"The girl's family, you don't have to boast, let you come before dawn, you haven't eaten yet, the freshly ground soy milk in the morning, if you don't like it, bring some back." Mrs. Tian said.

The combing lady refused twice, and then happily went back with the keg, saying that she would send the keg back later.

"Grandma, how many times will we go?" Yan Yu was impatient.

She's been looking forward to today.

In the past, banquets like this kind of one either had programs or accidents, in short, there was excitement to watch.

Yan Yu wanted to verify for himself whether it was true or not.

Mrs. Tian looked at the sky and said, "Let's go now, the road is slower, and the time to reach the palace is about the same." ”

"Your teacher's official position is seven grades, we have to go early, and it is not good to fall behind other officials."

The princess also has a threshold for spreading invitations.

Seven products are the dividing line, there is no eight products and nine products to set off, Mrs. Tian and her party are the officials with the lowest grade in this banquet.

It's just such an early morning, and it's almost the time to clean up.

As for the main banquet of the plum blossom feast, it is customary to start at noon.

If it is a night banquet, we will inform you in advance, and it will also be written on the invitation.

On occasions like today, even those who are not wealthy will hire a sedan chair or rent a carriage to fill the façade.

The Yan family didn't have this consciousness, and Mrs. Tian didn't care.

Yes, Yan Yu drove the ox cart out by himself.

She is also glad that there is no snow today, otherwise as soon as the hat is worn, the combed hair shape should be crushed, she has nothing, her eldest sister's comb is so good-looking, it would be a pity to press the stomach.

The three treasures stopped steadily at the side door of the palace.

Yan Yu jumped down first, and then stretched out his little hand for Mrs. Tian and the eldest sister to borrow.

A little servant walked briskly, stood by the side, and waited for everyone to get out of the cart, and took the reins and took the ox cart aside.

This detail is a plus.

Yan Yu secretly praised that the subordinates of the palace were well-trained.

The ox cart, which didn't even have a shed, directly pulled a family of officials over, and the lady above didn't even have a maid by her side, so she jumped out of the car......

The woman standing at the door to greet the guest had her apricot eyes slightly open.

She was about to step forward, not wanting the person behind her to be faster than her.

"Mrs. Tian, two young ladies, the slave maid has been waiting here for a long time on the winter solstice."

The woman who greeted the guest suddenly remembered something.

The winter solstice is not the maid in their yard, but the messenger in the prince's yard.

I said hello at the other end before, saying that one of the guests invited to today's banquet was close to the prince next to the prince......

Mrs. Tian said goodbye.

Yan Yu walked up to Dong Solstice and stuffed a piece of broken silver in his hand to her.

smiled and said: "What a coincidence, today is the winter solstice, and it is the winter solstice sister who came to pick us up, it's too fateful!" Sister Winter Solstice, I'm working hard for you today, we don't understand anything, I'm afraid that people will see the joke, sister, you can mention us more! ”

Dong Solstice generously accepted the broken silver, pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Second Miss, you are polite, this is the duty of the slave...... The princess has confessed, let the slave maid take care of you, and his old man also let the slave maid take the second lady around before the banquet, in addition to the plum trees in the courtyard of the princess, the white plums planted in the courtyard are also elegant and chic, and the father-in-law said that the second lady will like ......"

Ask for a monthly pass, dear friends~

At the end of the month, double is not to be missed, everyone voted a lot on the 28th, can you continue on the 29th? Star Eyes()

I'm so busy today, I went to school to hold a parent-teacher meeting, and the big treasure of the house came back, and I walked for three days and said that the food on the first day was OK with chicken legs, and there was nothing to eat in the next two days, so I felt sorry for me, and quickly took my unjust son to have a barbecue~

It's okay tomorrow, and I'm going to code words at home, and I'm going to rush my poor data~
