61. Watching again
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the heat gradually subsided, but the sun was still very hot, Miss Zhai Si got out of the carriage and held a fan to cover her head.
Miss Jiang San walked out of the second door and said with a smile: "You are reluctant to leave this fan, you have to take it out anytime and anywhere." β
Miss Zhai Si really shook the fan in her hand: "I don't have you." β
Miss Jiang San glared at her: "I saw what else you can do in winter." β
With that, he took her hand and went inward.
A few young ladies who were getting off the bus were very surprised when they saw this scene, and pulled a few young ladies from the Jiang family to ask: "Why is Miss Zhai Fourth so good with your third miss?" β
Miss Zhai Si could only be entertained by the Jiang family's concubines before.
The three ladies of the main house followed the lady to take care of the housework, and interacted with the ladies and young ladies of the various families.
A young lady of the Jiang family smiled and said, "Miss Zhai Si has helped my third sister a lot. β
The others were busy asking, but the ladies of the Jiang family didn't say anything, but said mysteriously: "You'll know when you see my eldest sister in a while." β
Today is the eighteenth birthday of the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and after that, she will get married next year.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were extremely fond of this first granddaughter, and the birthday banquet was so lively that almost half of the girls of the same age in the capital were invited.
The courtyard of the Jiang family was full of flowers and branches, and the girls gathered together, no matter how soft the voice was, it gradually became a torrential rain.
In the midst of the noise, several women smiled and said, "The little birthday star is here." β
The girls all followed the sound and saw the old lady of the Jiang family walking out with a smile on her face, followed by the young lady of the Jiang family, and half of her body was blocked by the old lady Jiang.
"Hey, you kid." Old Madam Jiang stretched out her hand and pulled Miss Jiang out, "What are you doing hiding behind my back, today is your good day." β
Miss Jiang's face was slightly red: "It was my grandmother who gave me such a good life, and I want to follow behind my grandmother." β
Old Madam Jiang smiled and patted her hand: "You can't hide behind me for the rest of your life, come out quickly and go to greet everyone." β
Miss Jiang reluctantly let go of Mrs. Jiang and walked towards the courtyard.
The girls said happily one after another, "Miss, happy year." β
There is sincerity and politeness in this joy, but as Miss Jiang came step by step, someone sighed.
"There are butterflies."
"Where?"
The Jiang family's yard is full of flowers and plants all year round, and it is not surprising that there are butterflies.
"Fly at the feet of the eldest lady."
"Yi, I saw it too, and there was also flying behind me."
"Not one."
At first, it was the whispering of the two girls, and then more people found out, and the casual ladies all looked at it seriously, and the laughter gradually became quieter, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Miss Jiang.
In the exquisite garden in early autumn, the girl wears plain brocade clothes, slightly powdered, for the day of birth is a little widowed, but with the walk, there are colorful butterflies flying under the skirt feet, surrounded by the front and back, left and right, such a scene, like a fairy descending to earth.
The ladies couldn't help but hold their breath, lest they startle the butterflies.
Old Madam Jiang watched from behind and smiled softly.
The flowering period of the daughter's house is short, and the moment of blooming is remembered, which is worth a lifetime.
She can't accompany her granddaughter for a lifetime, and the next road can only rely on the girl to walk by herself, and when she is tired in the future, she looks back and sees that the light used to give people the strength to continue to move forward.
"How is this done?" The ladies next to them were also attracted and asked, "It's obviously a plain skirt, but you don't see the embroidery?" β
Of course, they could see that it was not a real butterfly, but must be embroidery.
But how to make embroidery exquisite?
"It should be hidden in the folds of the skirt, taking the ingenuity of light and shadow, the line of virtual reality, and it will only be presented when you walk."
A woman's voice said.
The ladies looked over and saw that it was Miss Xiahou standing beside Mrs. Xiahou.
Old Madam Jiang smiled and nodded: "That's right." He added, "This dress was actually made by the children in the family themselves, I originally thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect to take it and take a look, it is really ingenious." β
A lady was busy asking which embroidery village it was, and Miss Xiahou had already spoken again: "Is it the craftsmanship of that embroidery lady in Linglong Fang?" β
Old Madam Jiang smiled and nodded: "Exactly." β
The ladies knew the name Linglong Fang clearly and suddenly, and began to talk about Linglong Fang.
Miss Xiahou didn't participate in the discussion anymore, looking at Miss Jiang who was standing still and surrounded by girls, she really couldn't see the cleverness of the dress when she wasn't moving.
The embroidery lady in Linglong Workshop really has some skills.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Leaving Miss Jiang's birthday banquet, it was almost dusk, but Miss Xiahou did not go home directly, but let the carriage and horses go to another street.
Although it is not the best location in the capital, it is also a place where every inch of land is valuable.
There are only three families in an alley, the faΓ§ade is not large, and its inner courtyard is exquisite.
The maidservant lifted the door curtain, helped Miss Xiahou get out of the car, and looked at the house: "The third prince is alone, how can he buy such a big mansion, he doesn't live in it every day." β
Miss Xiahou said: "He is here, which is equivalent to the Lu family here, of course, you have to prepare a house." β
The servant girl grinned, "That's because he can afford it." β
There are many students, but few can buy a house in the capital, at most they only rent a courtyard, or rent an inn and a room, and there is free accommodation provided by Taixue, and few people go to spend an extra amount of money.
Just looking at Lu Sangongzi, he will only feel that he is graceful, and no one will associate him with spending money.
Of course, if you really associate him, you won't feel that he is vulgar, because people who don't need to be bothered by fireworks can be more vulgar like immortals.
"Why do you talk so much?" Miss Xiahou was disgusted and pointed to the door, "Isn't there a family coming?" If you don't have your own house, where can a girl live? Come and borrow our house? β
The maidservant smiled: "How can you say that you can borrow it when you come to live in our house?" β
After that, he avoided the hand waved by the young lady, took three steps and two steps to the door, and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened, and the old servant was respectful: "Miss Xiahou, you are here, our son-"
Before he could finish his sentence, a girl came running from behind.
Her expression was a little anxious, and when she stood in front of Miss Xiahou, she was a little timid.
"Sister Xiahou." She said timidly.
Miss Xiahou smiled, reached out to hold her hand, and curtled her knees: "Miss Ah Xin." β
was held by this noble lady in the capital, Lu Xin was instantly happy, and hurriedly curtsied back.
"I really didn't expect that Sister Xiahou would come to see me." She said happily, and the next moment she lowered the corners of her mouth again, looking aggrieved, "My brother has been holding me up, and now he wants to drive me back, Sister Xiahou, you can help me ....."
Miss Xiahou crossed over and saw Lu Yizhi coming from behind.
Lu Yizhi looked helpless: "Don't pretend to be pitiful to Miss Xiahou, she is not one of those sisters around you when you were at home." β
Miss Xiahou raised her eyebrows: "What?" Are you saying I'm not as good as them are to Ah Xin? β
Lu Yizhi said: "No, you are easier to deceive than them. β
Miss Xiahou sneered.
Lu Xin stomped his feet, blushing and arguing with Lu Sangongzi.
Miss Xiahou smiled and pulled her over: "Whether it's really pitiful or fake pitiful, you have to be sent back before you come to the capital before you go out, it's really pitiful, today I am in charge and will take you around the capital." β
Lu Xin happily shook Miss Xiahou's hand and cheered, looked at Lu Yizhi again, and deliberately asked, "Third brother, don't you listen to me, and don't you listen to Sister Xiahou?" β
Lu Yiyi smiled: "I heard that it makes sense." β
