Chapter 83: Harmony (1)
On May 28, the weather was exceptionally bright.
In late spring, the flowers are still gorgeous. In Zhaojiafang, everyone is happy.
The pearl of the Zhao family, Zhao Liu, was held today. The respected elders of the clan all came, the clansmen from the close branches also came, and the clansmen from the side branches or the five costumes also wanted to come to watch the ceremony. However, the Zhao family's house can't accommodate so many people.
Zhao Yuanming is a Confucian in Qingzhou, and he has many friends in the same year, and his students are all over Qingzhou. Today, they are all coming to the door one by one.
The eldest uncle, Zhao Yuanxiu, led his two sons to greet the visitors. Grandmother Zhang led her daughter-in-law Wu to greet her daughters.
Zhang's private love to count his granddaughter, in front of people is a different look, happily said: "Xiyan, this girl, that is, she looks better, has a better mind, knows more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the rest is ordinary." ”
Yes, there is no one who is "modest".
"Grandmother is listening to flattery again." Cousin Zhao Suxin accompanied her and whispered: "Crescent Yue'er, don't look at grandmother who always dislikes and picks on you on weekdays, in fact, she has a hard mouth, and she is proud of you behind her back." ”
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "I know." Grandmother has always been hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. ”
Friend Ye Qinyao is naturally there. Zhao Suxin has already made a marriage, so it is not appropriate to show her head. Today, Zhao Xiyan's courtesy invited Ye Qinyao to be a praiser.
It's a great opportunity to be in the limelight. Ye Qinyao happily responded, and she deliberately dressed up carefully today, which was particularly pretty and bright.
Ye Qinyao looked out, and then laughed in a low voice: "There are too many guests here today. ”
Zhao Suxin smiled and answered: "Don't be afraid, the students of the third uncle are here, and most of them are running errands to greet guests." ”
Zhao Xiyan smiled and quipped: "Yes, yes, the cousin of the Wu family is also here." My cousin doesn't have to talk about it all the time, and if she waits patiently for half a year, she can marry the Wu family. ”
Zhao Suxin's face was so red that she was ridiculed, and she reached out to twist Zhao Xiyan's arm, but Zhao Xiyan dodged with a smile.
The girls in the room laughed one after another.
Such a life is peaceful, happy and beautiful.
That's nice.
A hundred days have passed. Beihai County is safe, the people are safe, and these flower-like girls have bright smiles on their faces.
Zhao Xiyan's eyebrows and eyes stretched, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Miss," Haitang came to report with a smile: "Miss Wang is here." ”
The girls smiled slightly, and couldn't help but whisper in a hurry: "This Wang Wei is too uninteresting." Today is a good day for Sister Xiyan. What did she come to do? ”
"That is, her father became a bandit, and she is the daughter of a bandit. How embarrassed to come. ”
A group of pampered boudoir girls naturally hate the word bandits. With Wang Tong's father, Wang Wei really can't raise her head.
Zhao Xiyan said softly: "It was an invitation written by me to invite Wang Wei to come." Please look at my thin face, big guy, don't embarrass her today. ”
Ye Qinyao is also a soft-hearted girl: "Yes! Wang Tong has done evil things, and she no longer recognizes her father. Now I live with my two little nephews. The big guy should pity her! ”
The girls all stopped.
A moment later, Wang Wei walked in.
In just a few days, Wang Wei has lost a lot of weight, her chin is pointy, and her eyes are much bigger than before. The yellow spring clothes of the boudoir in the past are a little empty on the body.
She was much more silent than before, her expression was a little panicked and timid, and she mustered up the courage to step forward with a congratulatory gift: "Miss Zhao Liu, this is embroidered by my own hands, and I asked a craftsman to frame it and make a small table screen." The craftsmanship is superficial, and it is also my heart. Don't be too light for gifts. ”
The table screen, half a foot high and one foot wide, is embroidered with butterflies playing, and the embroidery is delicate and lifelike. It can be seen that it took a lot of hard work.
Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly, and took the table screen with his own hands: "I only learned today that you have a good hand in embroidery." ”
Ye Qinyao echoed with a smile: "I can't do it if I change it." My hands are okay with books and pen and ink, but when I hold the embroidery needle, I get worried. I can't embroider, but I can sew my fingers. ”
The girls were so amused that they laughed.
In fact, when she was in the boudoir in the past, how could Wang Wei do embroidery seriously?
Now it is no longer a pampered girl, she has to take care of not only herself, but also a pair of little nephews. You have to learn to do everything yourself.
Wang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gratefully at Zhao Xiyan and Ye Qinyao, and deliberately chose a corner seat to sit.
Zhao Xiyan specially sent an invitation to her, which was to support her in front of everyone. With this kindness, she was reluctant to refuse, so she came cheekily. Today is a good day for Zhao Xiyan and Lu, and she watched the ceremony quietly.
Wang Wei is so knowledgeable, which makes the girls in the house feel pity.
Yes, Wang Wei is also a poor person. After changing them, they suddenly encountered a big disaster at home, and they may not be as strong as Wang Wei.
The girl sitting next to Wang Wei took the initiative to talk to Wang Wei.
Wang Wei's nose was a little pantothenic, and she was more grateful and moved in her heart, and whispered: "Well, I live near Zhaojiafang now, and the house is not big, and it is enough to live." And two maids......"
……
After a while, the distinguished guest arrived.
Grandmother Zhang personally accompanied a woman in her fifties to walk in.
The girls in the room all stood up and saluted: "I have seen the princess of Beihai." ”
According to the rules of the court, the vassal king had to keep filial piety for the Son of Heaven for one year, and the same was true for the vassal princess. Therefore, the princess of Beihai is dressed plainly and elegantly today, and only a simple bead hairpin is inserted on her head. However, in the end, she has been the princess of the domain for many years, and she has no lack of momentum.
Princess Beihai smiled: "It's all exempt." ”
Xu Ying and Xu Wan also came.
Xu Ying lived in her mother's house for a while, her life was comfortable, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, her complexion was ruddy, and she stepped forward with a smile to give a congratulatory gift: "The six girls are here today, a little gift, and they are talking about their hearts." ”
A box full of pearls, each thumb-sized, lustrous and round. This is not a small courtesy.
Zhao Xiyan smiled and thanked him.
Xu Guan gave a set of delicate gemstone heads.
Before Princess Beihai came, she was repeatedly instructed by her son, and took out the most kind smile in her life, and praised Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan didn't need to say much, it was enough to show a shy and joyful expression.
When there was a lot of harmony, the eldest aunt Wu came with the distinguished guests again.
It is Mrs. Xie and Xie Jiao, mother and daughter. Xie Jiao was sick for a while, and it took a few days to recover, and her delicate face was a little less fresh.
No matter how much trouble you make in private, you can't be embarrassed on the scene.
Xu Ying stepped forward and saluted without changing her face and called her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Xie's smile was slightly stiff, and she was also full of face in the end.
No one expected that Xie Jiao would come up with a sentence coldly: "How can there be a reason for a married woman to live in her mother's house." When does my sister-in-law plan to come back? ”
……
Thanks to the support and encouragement of the book friends, I was depressed for a while, and quickly adjusted. I will continue to work hard and write well.
