"The eldest lady is really refreshing and beautiful in this turquoise skirt."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet, the dress made for Cheng Yuguan was finally delivered, and Agarwood picked out a green jacket skirt embroidered with a pink and white peach pattern for Cheng Yuguan, and gestured for Cheng Yuguan and exclaimed.

"This green is refreshing, but it is not eye-catching, is there any other color?"

The painting boat looked at a few new dresses on the table, picked and picked, and finally gave in to Agarwood's choice.

"Madame is really, she knows that she is going to enter the palace for a banquet, and the dresses she makes are so plain, but the fabric of this green jacket skirt is still a little bright."

The painting boat muttered discontentedly as he cleaned it up.

Agarwood glanced at the painting boat, didn't say anything, and only cared about taking care of Cheng Yuguan's collar and skirt.

"The eldest lady is tall and tall, and the slave maid combs the eldest lady's morning cloud bun again, and matches the pearl hairpin of the first lady, which will definitely be brilliant."

There was some enthusiastic proposal to draw boats.

It was also the first time for her to prepare the eldest lady's hairstyle and decoration for the palace banquet, and she was terrified and excited in her heart, and she began to keep her feet on the ground since the morning, and she was determined to clean up the eldest lady's glamour.

Agarwood squeezed the painting boat aside, and combed Cheng Yuguan with a simple and neat bun with his hands and feet.

"Oh, Agarwood, what are you doing?" On weekdays, it's just that, when you enter the palace for a banquet, other ladies are all cleaned up, doesn't the eldest lady look old-fashioned in the crowd like this? ”

Saying that, he wanted to do it himself, but Agarwood didn't let him do it at all, and while giving Cheng Yuguan the pearl hairpin in the makeup to try it on, he dealt with the painting boat.

"When a young lady enters the palace for the first time, she should not be too conspicuous. Security is best when it comes to not making mistakes. What do you say, miss? ”

Cheng Yuguan looked at the glass mirror in front of him, in addition to his own faces in the mirror, the expressions of the two maids could also be seen clearly.

At this moment, Agarwood looked calm and relaxed, and the painting boat was squeezed aside, a little puffed up.

The corners of Cheng Yuguan's mouth curled, and he grabbed a handful of loose beads from the makeup in his hand.

These are pearls that are slightly larger than rice beads, not the kind of round beads that can be decorated on the head and face of jewelry, but beads with slight flaws, which can be used to decorate the tassel fan pendant or the toe of the shoe when you are a female red.

Cheng Yuguan grabbed five or six in one hand, and she waved her hand at the painting boat, "Come here." ”

The painting boat pouted, "We don't have Sister Agarwood to be able to speak, and we can say a lot of big truths every time, but the slave thinks that you are now the age when you can dress up, isn't it good to be brilliant?" After waiting for these two or three years, when it is time to get married, it is not too late to dress up on the dignified side. ”

When Agarwood heard this, he glanced at the young lady in the mirror, and was about to explain, but Cheng Yuguan turned his head and looked at the two maids behind him.

Hand them the beads in his hand.

"Miss, what are you doing? Slaves and maids should share their share of the eldest lady's service, not these things. Do you think we're all snobs elsewhere? ”

Somewhat shocked, he put his hand behind his back and refused to take it. Agarwood's eyes widened in shock.

"Miss, you just gave us a jade pendant a few days ago, we have to accept this bead again, pass it out, and let people look down on it with slanted eyes."

Agarwood also resigned.

Cheng Yuguan insisted on holding Agarwood's hand, put the beads on her hand, and looked at the two humanes.

"It's not all for you, but for everyone in the Pure Heart Hall to be divided. Today, the masters in the house have all gone to the palace for a banquet, and you will take leave to go home for half a letter, which will also reassure the family. Your family lives far away, all of them are on the Zhuangzi, these beads should buy you a snack to hire a car, and bring more things home, which is also a part of my heart as a young lady. ”

"This..."

Listening to Cheng Yuguan say this, the painting boat and the agarwood looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do.

"Okay, don't hesitate, I'll go to the front yard, you go and ask for leave and go home."

"The slave and maid are waiting for you to pass..."

Agarwood reacted.

saw the back of Cheng Yuguan striding out, and waved his hand.

"There are many rules in the palace, you should stay in the palace first. I'm going to the palace, so I'll naturally follow the old lady closely, and I'll talk about it when I have a chance later. ”

Saying that, agarwood and painting boats, I saw the back of the eldest lady, disappearing into the deep wooden corridor, behind the plane tree.

Agarwood put all the beads in his hand in the painting boat, and wanted to chase it, but was caught by the painting boat's backhand, "Don't go, the eldest lady understands everything, let's listen to the eldest lady." I took this bead, and when all the masters in the house went out, I went home. With these things given by the eldest lady, it is not in vain for me to enter the mansion to serve the eldest lady. ”

After speaking, I saw that some childish painting boats on weekdays put the beads on the table, only took one and went out of the side room, went back to pack up things, leaving agarwood and a few little girls who were always paying attention to each other on the ground, and didn't know how to react for a while.

Cheng Yuguan is here, and when he arrives at the front yard, it is already in the middle of the day, and Cheng Hou and his wife echo the old lady and have been waiting for a while.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan coming over in a green jacket, Yang opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"You girls are expensive, why don't you dress up for a while."

Yang is obviously dressed up on purpose today, wearing a blue color armor dress, with a complete set of ruby heads on his head, and his original plain appearance immediately adds a bit of bright color.

Cheng Yuguan had no intention of appreciating it, kicked off the corner of his skirt, strode into the Ming Hall, and sat down to the side without waiting for everyone's reaction, "Today's protagonist is the second sister, I'm a green leaf, it's useless to dress up." ”

Cheng Yuguan spoke, as always, he stabbed people, and when Yang got Cheng Yuguan's sentence, he didn't say anything more, and turned back to his position.

After several confrontations with his eldest daughter, Cheng Fangchuan already had a general understanding of Cheng Yuguan's way of speaking, and he felt a little used to it at this moment.

Seeing that Yang's expression was a little aggrieved, he just patted Yang's hand to appease him, and did not break out again.

The old lady closed her eyes as always, the beads of King Kong hung in her hand, and she chanted silently in her mouth.

"Grandmother! Father! Mother! ”

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Cheng Yulou's cheerful voice came, and several people who were silent everywhere in the room instantly showed smiling faces, the old lady opened her eyes with a smile, Cheng Hou looked out of the door, and the Yang family walked a few steps closer to the door.

Cheng Yulou came from the backlight of the spacious entrance of the Ming Hall, and it was actually a cherry pink jacket skirt, shining in the sun.

At the beginning of summer, light-colored clothes are the most appropriate. But light-colored clothes tend to look dull and unshiny.

Cheng Yulou's body, when he walked, the pleated skirt was shining in the sun, and the luxury and elegance were undoubtedly revealed.

The jewelry on the head is only a hairpin and a hairpin, but it is rare to see the cherry pink ruby, this special color, more rare than ruby, only Cheng Yulou's body is radiant, so that peers retreat.

It is said that the best way to make a woman ugly is to let her appear in a group of luxurious and elegant women. There is no need for outsiders to talk much, she herself is ashamed of herself.

Cheng Yuguan's eyes turned on Yang and Cheng Yulou, and then looked at the old lady, who was also wearing a robe and coat embroidered with dark patterns.

Cheng Yuguan looked at Cheng Fangchuan, who got up behind Yang.

It can only be said that the Hou Mansion is worthy of being a generation of nobles, and this taste for dressing has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Although Cheng Hou's lanthanum shirt looks simple, the jade belt and jade pendant around his waist bloom with a warm luster, which is obviously not ordinary.

Men don't have to be as brilliant as women, low-key luxury shows their status.

Cheng Yuguan looked down at the clothes on his body, and then helped the bead hairpin on his head, and he thought that the clothes and jewelry he had seen in the past suddenly became shabby at this moment.

Sure enough, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. You get what you pay for, it's been the same since ancient times.

"Big sister, let's go."

Cheng Yulou's brisk voice, Cheng Yuguan looked up, and saw that she was carrying the Yang family, and Cheng Hou was supporting the old lady, and they were all ready to leave.

Cheng Yuguan also got up and followed, "Let's go." ”

…

"Master Hou, the sedan car has been prepared."

Liao Cheng, who had not seen him for many days, trotted up at the door and returned to Cheng Hou.

"Hmm."

Cheng Hou let out a "hmm" in his throat, and helped the old lady to walk out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Cheng Yulou helped Yang to follow.

"Miss, the carriage has a limited capacity, you can sit in this small sedan chair with the old slave. Idlers are not allowed to enter the palace, and you are just right to sit in a sedan chair alone. ”

Liao Cheng came to Cheng Yuguan, pointed to the purple brocade sedan chair on the side, and bowed down and said attentively.

Cheng Yuguan looked at Liao Cheng and saw him smiling all over his face. looked at the sedan chair again, although it was also extravagant, but compared to the carriage frame, it seemed stingy after all.

Cheng Yuguan looked at the few people in front of him, and they didn't know if they didn't hear Liao Cheng's words, or how, they were stepping on the stepping stones at the moment, concentrating on getting into the carriage.

"Miss, please."

Liao Cheng stretched out his hand again.

Cheng Yuguan smiled angrily.

The Hou Mansion of Nuoda always made her feel this pervasive sense of stinginess.

It's like Liao Cheng in front of him, Cheng Yuguan offended him once, and Cheng Yuguan only left the hospital in Qingxin Hall in the past, and Liao Cheng couldn't help her.

At this moment, Cheng Yuguan stepped into the front yard, and when he reached Liao Cheng's scope of management, he could do his best to humiliate her within his ability.

"I can't enjoy such clever things as carriages and sedan chairs, and I will vomit. When the time comes, it will not be good to miss the old lady's advice. Just get me a horse. ”

Cheng Yuguan said.

Her voice was neither loud nor small, but the housekeeper didn't seem to hear it clearly, and he hesitated a little and didn't move.

At this time, Yang poked his head out of the carriage, "I almost forgot, the eldest lady was born in the ancestral land, and she has been used to riding horses with several cousins since she was a child, and she can't bear to sit in a sedan chair and a boat." The cousin of the ancestral land of the former son was seasick and needed to recuperate in another village, and he has not yet recovered. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

Liao Cheng agreed, and with a wave of his hand, a well-equipped tall horse was led over by his subordinates.

"Miss, the horses in the house are all used by the Hou Ye, they are tall and strong, if you are afraid, you might as well endure it in the sedan chair."

Cheng Yuguan's unwavering gaze swept over Liao Cheng, pulled the reins, and flew on the horse. The neat skills made the people on the street unconsciously exclaim.

Yang's face froze for a moment, then he lowered the curtain and retracted into the carriage.

Seeing this, Cheng Hou didn't wait any longer, and got into the carriage with his legs.

The carriage was cast in bronze, with a carriage frame, and the carriage was as grand as a hut, more than enough to accommodate three or five people.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan didn't say anything, just pulled the reins, passed the housekeeper to the front of the Hou Mansion convoy, and followed the guards together.

…

The procession walked slowly, Cheng Yuguan entered Beijing for many days, and saw the scenery of the capital for the first time.

It was lively and orderly, Cheng Hou's motorcade passed by, and people naturally parted and gave way, as if they were used to it.

On both sides of the road, there was a lively conversation but no shouting, there were customers in the same brocade clothes walking and stopping, and there were also pedestrians in plain clothes walking calmly. Three or five men passed by carrying goods, and women walked through the streets with baskets hung, or walking with their heads held high, or wearing fine clothes or no feather hats to avoid the dust.

Everyone looks reckless and walks freely, and Cheng Yuguan's horses unconsciously slow down and want to blend in.

"Miss, the old lady told me to wait and take care of the eldest lady, you are new to the house, don't get separated from the house."

The guards on both sides reminded Cheng Yuguan to keep up in time.

The guards are heavily armed and carry long swords at their waists.

Cheng Yuguan lightly clamped the horse's belly and followed a few people.

"Dare to ask this adult, are you from Cangzhou Mansion?"

The guard's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

Cheng Yuguan didn't bother with it, and followed a few guards to move forward.

Chenghou's Mansion has an extraordinary status, so it is extremely close to the imperial city. Cheng Yuguan only felt that he hadn't seen enough of the streets of the capital, so he came to the foot of the imperial city.

The palace of Daqian is as majestic as the heavenly palace lying prone.

Cheng Yuguan sat on a horse, and across the wide square, he saw that on the high platform in the distance, the palaces of ancient beasts were lined up, spreading into the distance.

The further I go, the closer I get to the palace gate, the more I can feel my insignificance.

Cheng Yuguan rode on the horse, only to feel that she was shrinking rapidly, and against the backdrop of the towering and wide city wall, she seemed to have turned into an ant.

"Dismount!"

Suddenly, there were palace people calling for peace, and Cheng Yuguan came to his senses and turned over from the horse.

"Leave it to the lowly."

The guard who was talking to Cheng Yuguan just now came over and took the reins from Cheng Yuguan's hand.

Cheng Yuguan smiled at the guards and handed it over.

"Yu Guan'er, come here, come to grandmother."

Not far away, Cheng Hou helped the old lady's family and got off the carriage. At this time, the old lady greeted Cheng Yuguan with a kind face.

Cheng Yuguan approached the old lady, and was held by the old man's wrist and pulled to his side.

"The rules of this palace are strict, and Yuguan'er is here for the first time, just follow her grandmother."

The corners of Cheng Yuguan's mouth curled up and did not speak.

Soon, a light carriage came over at the side door, pulling everyone from the Hou Mansion to the harem for the banquet from one side.

"In this palace, if you let people walk to Fengyi Palace, I don't know when you will go. The other families all came earlier, and the grandmother was old and high-status, and the queen gave permission to take a carriage to bypass the previous dynasty and enter the harem. ”

Cheng Yulou said to Cheng Yuguan a little proudly.

Cheng Yuguan and a few people crowded together, listening to the lonely footsteps of the carriage under them in the corridor, and were silent.

Here she is in awe, and she will not speak casually.
