Chapter 505: Plum Bottle
In addition to making lanterns, the ladies can also go to the courtyard to enjoy the plum blossoms.
The princess has put a lot of thought into this plum banquet.
Many varieties of plum blossoms have been transplanted.
The common red plum is actually a pink plum blossom, such as palace powder, cinnabar, and big red plum.
Among them, cinnabar plum has white whiskers, red whiskers, single petals, faint halos, cinnabar pavilions, red bones, and black feather jade.
Sprinkle golden plum to white flowers, each white flower must be sprinkled with red stripes or red spots, occasionally jump out of a few red petals, or the whole red flower, red and white commensurate, white and clean, red and dazzling.
White plums have jade butterflies and pearls.
There are also two apricot plums, also called crane top plum, the flower type is large, the color is bright, the powder is gratifying, it is particularly conspicuous, it attracts the little girls to go around in a circle, and they have pointed to the beautiful plum blossoms to let the maid climb and fold.
There are those who stink and beauty on their heads, and there are those who break branches and prepare to insert bottles.
The princess even prepared a vase.
This is also in line with the theme of today's plum feast - plum appreciation.
I have admired the natural plum trees, and then I have come to appreciate the plum bottles inserted by the ladies.
The lantern couldn't be finished for a while, so Yan Yu pulled her sister out to see the plum blossoms.
By the way, choose also to see which branch is better.
Halfway through, they met the two young ladies of the Fang family and the young lady of the Yuan family, and several of them naturally walked together.
Yuan Ying was fascinated by the types of plum blossoms, and they listened to them fascinated.
"To insert a plum bottle, you must first look at the bottle, and then choose the plum." The relationship between the tug-of-war and the river together is different, Yuan Ying generously pointed out to them: "The bottle body is round and the flowers are selected, looking lively, the light-colored bottle is selected with heavy plum blossoms, the heavier the better, and vice versa, if it is a green bottle like me, it will look good in any color, red, white, green, and yellow." ”
"And the green plum blossoms? Where is it? Why don't you see it? Fang Xue'er looked around.
"I've only seen the green calyx in a book, saying that it is a faint green, and a few are greenish and purple, which are treasures in plums, which are extremely rare." Yuan Ying said.
"Oh." Fang Xue'er was not disappointed, without the green and yellow, she liked these rare colors.
Looking at the bottle in the maid's hand, she asked, "Sister Ying, does my bottle look good with plum?" ”
The plum blossom is yellow, and she likes it when she looks at it.
Yuan Ying took a look and said that it was good-looking, and Fang Xue'er immediately cheered and ran to the plum tree, and chose it with the maid.
"You're here, but I'm easy to find." Xue Zhaoxia walked briskly with her fat maid.
"Sister Xue, what are you looking for us to do?" Yan Yu asked curiously.
"Make lanterns and fold plum blossoms!" Xue Zhaoxia said calmly: "I can't paint, you have to help me, let's do the lantern together, I'll help you with the plum blossoms, I'll help you fold which one you like, don't look at my sour horns growing strong, but it's flexible, it's okay to fold plums on the tree." ”
The fat girl behind her smiled so hard that her eyes were gone, she raised her head with her chest straight, and took care of everything: "Although the ladies choose, the slave and maid are very good at climbing trees, and they are wrapped in the slave and maid." ”
Yan Yu's sweet mouth is open again: "Sister Xue has no weak soldiers under her strong generals, she is powerful, and the sour sister around her is also powerful." ”
Xue Zhaoxia smiled very happily, and waved her big hand: "Sour corner, fold it for Big Sister Yan and Second Sister Yan first." ”
Yan Yu was not polite, asked the eldest sister's preferences, and referred to Yuan Ying's sister's opinion, and chose the white jade butterfly plum and the whole red sprinkling golden red plum.
A few people also picked a few apricot plums, the size of a child's palm, pinned on their heads, except for the Yan sisters, who were white-skinned, the others couldn't suppress such delicate powder, looking earthy and vulgar.
Girls, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't stop laughing.
But I don't want to take it off, anyway, everyone is the same, so I wear it.
……
Six plum bottles are arranged in a row, each with its own color.
The winter solstice helped them close two tables, and several girls got together to make lanterns.
Look up at the flowers, look down twice, and share gossip with the little sisters, not to mention how happy they are.
There are a lot of things to say about the two young ladies of the Fang family and Miss Xue.
Mrs. Fang is very popular, and the two young ladies of the Fang family know more when they see more, but Miss Xue is ready-made here, close at hand, several little girls love to listen more, and they look at Xue Zhaoxia with bright eyes, which really makes people want to share.
Fang Xue'er said diligently: "Sister Xue drinks saliva to moisten her throat. ”
Xue Zhaoxia gave her a sensible look, took a sip of tea, and continued: "...... That Mrs. Zhao really hasn't come to the door for 800 lifetimes, and it will be no good thing when she does, this is because she knows that the princess is newly married, and her face is thin, and she wants to leave several of her daughters as guests.
What kind of guest is she a guest, she doesn't look at her daughters, they are worthy of the world, one by one. ”
Miss Fang said fairly: "The young ladies of the Zhao family are actually ...... good-looking."
At least it is much stronger than a few of them, and standing outside will be praised for being good-looking, of course, it can't compare to the two sisters of the Yan family.
She really can't tell her conscience that people are crooked melons and cracked dates.
"Then there is another one, it's not the young lady of the Zhao family, who is it? Cousins? Miss Table? "Yan Yu has a good memory, I remember that in addition to her biological daughter and concubine, there is also an older one by Mrs. Zhao's side.
Xue Zhaoxia pursed her lips, looked around, and said in a low voice: "That's Mrs. Zhao's cousin, a little widow, very shameless, obviously a married woman, and she combs her daughter's hair." ”
Seeing the little sisters' eyes wide one by one and their mouths couldn't close, Miss Xue was very satisfied with everyone's reaction: "I didn't expect it at first, if I want to say that it has to be my mother, my eyes are sharp, I grabbed it and asked a few more questions, the little widow's face turned white and white, and then she told the truth, she, she was looking at the princess who was not in the house......"
The fat girl's sour horn seemed to have an uncomfortable throat and coughed twice.
Xue Zhaoxia immediately froze.
The king of England is an elder, and she is not a junior who is not good at gossiping about her elders.
But the little widow must have gone to the prince, hum, this Zhao family is also interesting, she hasn't been in contact for several years, once she came to the door, she wanted to eat it all!
Miss Xue changed the topic and said: "There is another person who is also very annoying, that is, the sister of the princess, you haven't seen it, good guy, really think that you are a noble person, picky about this and that, how lively our tug-of-war competition is, let her say something vulgar...... her...... ......"
The sour horn coughed again, and Xue Zhaoxia's last two words were almost swallowed in her throat, like a mosquito humming.
This is a hornet's nest.
The little sisters were united in their hatred.
Fang Xueer is very proud that she can win the game today and win the lottery.
I think it's a matter of pride.
not only grew his own face, but also won glory for the whole family.
said urgently: "Where is it rude, she doesn't know don't want to talk nonsense, okay?!" ”
Yuan Ying was also dissatisfied: "That is, the nobles in Beijing all play like this, and she has told everyone to go in." ”
Yan Yu showed the undropped gold bracelet hanging on his wrist, and said with a smile: "We won the game, we won the lottery, we are fame and fortune!" Let the man who can't eat the grapes say a few sour words, hehe! Look at how bright it is! ”
The girls all took out their bracelets and put them together, smiling.
