Chapter 26: A Visit from Cousin An Zhongyi (1)
The old lady was almost angry with the homework she saw from Mama Zhao last time, "After Mama Zhao enters the palace, Yue'er's female red you have to keep an eye on it, and you must not let her slack off, just embroider everything at the level of a ball now, and in the future, even embroidering some objects close to yourself for her husband will be disliked, and if you bring a purse on your body, you can't take it out." β
Fang Gu is good friends with Jin and Zhao on weekdays, and she has seen Miss's embroidery from Zhao Mama a few times, which is indeed a little indescribable.
"The eldest lady's embroidery technique is immature, and she will definitely improve after a little training."
The old lady didn't speak again, the shadow of the candle flame swayed on her face, and Aunt Fang was also busy with the embroidery work in her hands, thinking about embroidering a sachet of koi and lotus for the eldest lady.
As the night deepened, Aunt Fang embroidered halfway, and then thought about waiting for the old lady to sleep, which old lady suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the jade card in her hand, and said in a flat tone, as if talking about something common.
"If Yue'er is destined for one of the children of the An family, after entering the door, she will not be as soft-hearted as my old sister."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
A dreamless night is like Gu Chuyue, sleeping not only soundly but also very comfortable, so comfortable that I don't know when I stuffed two cotton flowers in my ears, and the world was quiet.
However, Pearl, who knew that the young lady would sleep on the bed, knocked on the door twice and did not get a response, and then entered the house directly, and then skillfully lifted the young lady's quilt.
Although Gu Chuyue's spirit was sober, her body was still uncontrollably drooping her eyelids, her eyes were uncontrollably pantothenic, and finally ......
She leaned on Pearl's arm and said reluctantly: "Isn't it a holiday today, Mr. and Mama have gone out to play, and they don't have to go to class, why do you get up so early...... β
Pearl straightened the young lady's body mercilessly, and continued to hold the pearl hairpin on the young lady's head, "Miss, you don't have to go to class today, but the second son of the An family is coming over, and Fang Gu specially sent someone to say that she wants to dress you up." β
Gu Chuyue snorted and leaned on Pearl's arm again, wanting to cry without tears: "What kind of son of the An family is here, I just want to laugh, I don't have to dress up much......"
Pearl straightened Miss's shoulders again, let the two little maids hold Miss one by one, and began to comb Miss's hair, combing while saying: "Miss, what are you talking about, you are the eldest lady of the Bachelor's Mansion, of course you have to dress up beautifully, An Ergongzi is well-informed, but he can't let him look down on Miss." β
Just when Gu Chuyue was drowsy, she was poured a mouthful of bitter lotus leaf tea, she stuck out her tongue bitterly, and she didn't want to sleep anymore.
Pearl opened all the jewelry boxes of the young lady, and even took out a brocade box from the inner room and put it in front of Gu Chuyue, and slowly opened it.
Gu Chuyue suddenly opened her mouth wide, looked at Pearl, and smiled in disbelief: "No, Pearl, this is too grand, I'm just accompanying my grandmother to receive a guest, what are you doing with this." β
The brocade box is placed in a gold Yingluo circle, this Yingluo circle is the original owner's favorite, the production is fine and ingenious, engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, hanging a piece of gold inlaid red filigree cloisonnΓ© moon pill dot emerald lock, in the middle is inlaid with a dark red coral beads.
There are thin tassels hanging below, and the low end of each tassel is embedded with a slender drop-shaped pearl, and the pearl is covered with blue and green glass beads, and the sunlight is shallow and beautiful.
This is really too precious, the original owner will not wear it out easily, Gu Chuyue was also shocked by this Yingluo circle, and immediately covered the box and asked the pearl to put it away.
"Forget it, I think yesterday's set of headdresses for the two fish to grab the pearls is good, the fish are chubby, and they are cute, so it's okay."
"Miss, that's not too grand." Pearl Road.
Gu Chuyue raised her forehead, "It's just to see a guest, what do you want to be grand...... "The simpler the dress, the better."
In the end, Pearl still didn't resist Gu Chuyue, and obediently put on a chubby fish hosta for her.
She wore a blue light gauze waist-length skirt today, and the lower skirt was embroidered with the scene of the lotus flower in full bloom, and dozens of glass pearls were embedded in the lotus leaves.
The tulle is lightly covered, the lotus flower is looming, echoing her hairpin, a pair of moon-white embroidered peach branches inlaid with fine beads and cloud brocade shoes, fresh and simple but very good-looking.
Her purpose today is to set off Gu Fangfei and be a well-behaved green leaf.
Estimating the time, Gu Chuyue went out from Mingyue Garden, holding a handful of candied fruits that she secretly grabbed from Shouhui Hall yesterday, and occasionally ate one, and even felt much better.
When she walked to the fork in the road, she saw that the orchids on the side of the road were blooming beautifully, so she couldn't help but look down and smell them, and before she could sigh a good fragrance, she heard a sound of footsteps.
"Big sister is really leisurely."
This was Gu Fangfei's voice, she heard it, turned sideways slightly, and heard another sentence.
"How can the orchids in this garden be as beautiful as the Yuedan that is given by the Emperor." After speaking, he snorted softly.
While speaking, Gu Fangfei had already walked in front of her, and reached out to cut off the orchid that she had just smelled.
The orchid that was blooming was thrown into the grass at random, Gu Chuyue raised her eyebrows, and responded: "What kind of flower is the Imperial Moon Pill, I have never seen it." β
Gu Fangfei snorted coldly, feeling that she didn't know the goods, "I threw it to you yesterday." β
"Oh......" she pretended to be puzzled and smiled, "But didn't the second sister say yesterday that the flower was picked up casually, why did it suddenly become the Yuedan flower given by the emperor?" β
Gu Fangfei raised her head a little awkwardly and said, "I said what it is, that's what it is." β
Gu Chuyue stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and agreed seriously, "Yes, what the second sister says, it's what it is." β
Gu Fangfei wore a tooth-white embroidered magnolia spring thin silk shirt and skirt today, combed a small single screw bun, supplemented by a gold silk wrapped jade hairpin and a pair of green jade dotted ink jade beads, wearing a tourmaline inlaid ring string around her neck, with decent makeup and outstanding appearance.
In contrast, Gu Chuyue's dress was too simple, and this dress was a little more luxurious than when she saw Gu Fangfei coming back when she was invited back yesterday.
She affirmed once again that it seemed that her second sister was really interested in the second son of the An family, and it was naked.
When I arrived at the main hall, the old lady was at the top of the house, and the Fang Gu on the side fanned the wind with the embroidered lady enjoying the flowers, and the fan handle was embedded with a turquoise, and the blue tassel was softly smoothed down.
Hearing the maid's announcement that the two young ladies had arrived, the old lady put down the ginseng tea and raised her eyes.
Gu Fangfei came in behind Gu Chuyue, and the two of them bent their knees, "Grandmother is fine." β
The old lady symbolically raised her hand.
After the two of them sat down, a maid came in and said, "Old lady, the second son of the An family is already waiting outside the hall." β
The old lady had a smile on her face and said, "Let him come in quickly." β
