Chapter 5: The Spring Feast
"Mrs. killed chickens and monkeys, stood up in the small courtyard of Shaoguang, and gave grace to the maid."
Xu Shuo bowed his head and reported.
Firefly Moon's operation was so smooth that he didn't even react, this is mostly a common method used by housewives, but people are all cultivated by the noble daughters of the family for decades, this Firefly Moon ......
But the woman who came out of the green building, can it be the same?
And those beauty recipes......
"Mrs. Yue has never shown such talent before," Xu Shuo considered his words, .......
Xie Jingyuan sneered, he still remembers the slap that day.
"Keep looking."
Xu Shuo replied, and remembered the matter in the front yard again, "The Guogong Mansion handed over the invitation to the spring banquet today, and in addition to you, I also invited Mrs. Yue alone......"
The Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion have never dealt with each other, and no one in the capital knows the identity of Mrs. Yue, and this time she clearly wants to slap the Hou Mansion in the face.
"Or do you refuse this invitation?" Xu Shuo looked at Xie Jingyuan's face cautiously.
"Let her go."
Xie Jingyuan's eyes fell on the cold official document, and he hooked his lips and sneered: "She even beat me, and what is she afraid of?" β
***
Shake the light of the courtyard.
The invitation was placed on the pear blossom wooden table, and Hotaru glanced at it, her mood was not very high, "I'm a widow, and I'm going to a banquet too?" β
Chunlan was waiting in the room: "The Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion are also considered to be equal, and they have not been much over the years, but they usually go when they receive invitations." β
"General?" Hotaru caught the keyword.
Chunlan sneered: "Whether you go or not, it all depends on the mood of the little marquis, he actually doesn't like to join in the fun...... However, the other families still basically go. β
Hotaru understood.
For her, the spring banquet is a good time, just to break into the noble ladies and nobles of the family and look for business opportunities.
Since Xie Jingyuan didn't go, she made a decision: "I'll go!" β
Chunlan smiled, ready to dress her up, and remembered the person outside the door, but in the end she was kind enough to open her mouth: "This combing hair and makeup, Qingyan is the best at it." I'm not speaking for her, and seeing that Madame wants to use her words, I can let her in and try it. β
"Then let's try."
Not long after, Qingyan was called in, she lowered her head and called "madam", so she dared to sneak a glance at Firefly Moon from the mirror.
Seeing that Hotaru didn't care about her past suspicions, she was grateful and guilty in her heart, her face was getting better day by day, and naturally she couldn't live up to her lady's trust!
Thinking of this, Qingyan began to carefully prepare the makeup for Hotaru Yue.
Spring feasts have had a theme since ancient times.
This banquet in the Guogong Mansion is no exception, at this time it is half a quarter earlier than the invitation time, and the pavilions and pavilions in the back garden already have three or three or two nobles or sons.
All kinds of rare calligraphy and painting treasures are placed one by one for people to enjoy.
"'Lady Moon' also deserves to join us at the Spring Feast?! Her identityβ"
"Shhhh
"So what? Can't tell the truth? β
"Ha, that's what I'm saying, her face hasn't been blown to the point that the country is overwhelmed, there were many 'talents' who wrote love poems to her before, I think it's a waste of fame, or Shu Yao, you, the first talented woman in the capital, are more beautiful."
Ning Shuyao, who was touted, couldn't hide her smugness in her eyes, and at this moment, she didn't know who whispered: "Mrs. Yue is here." β
Subconsciously, everyone looked towards the door.
The person who came was wearing a pale pink Baidiedu flower dress, with a slender waist and a suffocating hand.
She was born extremely beautiful, her face was like a peach blossom, her apricot eyes looked forward to tactfully, as if she would seduce people, and she smiled with three points before she saw it, which was particularly pure and moving.
Today, the gouache on her face is not thick, but it is just painted with flowers, her eyebrows and eyes are like green mountains and distant daisies, the corners of her red lips are lightly hooked, and her snow-white skin can be broken by blowing.
When they saw her, there was only one thought in everyone's mind.
No wonder the old marquis wanted to marry her before he died.
is such a stunner in the world, no one can not stop for it.
Except for Xie Jingyuan.
He was across the pavilion, but he saw her break into this world like a touch of spring light, and the undisguised eyes and amazements of everyone made him a little subtly unhappy.
came out to the feast, but he was dressed so undignified.
Looking for your next home?
His eyes were as bright as knives, and he was fierce. It's a pity that the firefly moon in this room didn't notice it at all.
Seeing the noble ladies and ladies dressed all over the garden, the corners of Firefly's lips lifted.
Look, aren't these all her future customers?
Rich is easy to talk to, and the look on her face is a little pleasant.
"You're Madame Moon?"
A shrill voice came.
When Hotaru looked over, she saw that the woman was wearing a peacock pattern brocade dress, with a good appearance, and her face had the arrogance unique to a noble lady of the family, and she looked at her contemptuously.
"You are?" Hotaru Yue's face paled a little.
A flash of disdain flashed in Ning Shuyao's eyes, what can be done to serve people with Israel?
She sneered, and pretended to speak: "I heard about Mrs. Yue's name earlier, and I heard that it is a talent and affection, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." β
This roundabout yin and yang weirdness is a bit similar to Xie Jingyuan.
Yingyue glanced left and right weakly, Xie Jingyuan didn't come, right?
Seeing that she didn't pick up the stubble, Ning Shuyao's heart moved slightly: "It just so happened that we were just appreciating the painting, and it was difficult to distinguish the place when we met a good painting." I heard that Mrs. Yue is quite accomplished in painting, why don't you give me some advice? β
What good paintings can people who come out of the Qinglou see?
This is clearly a deliberate digging hole!
The people around looked at the fire moon with ridicule in their eyes, and as soon as they entered the door, they offended the daughter of the Grand Master!
Now that Taishi is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and Ning Shuyao is his daughter-in-law, the tide is naturally rising.
Mrs. Yue, what do you compare to her noble status?
