Chapter 81 Lian's Second Room Banquet
Time flies like a flying horse and blinks its shoulders for a few days. After getting used to the boring days at home, it was comfortable. If Ying couldn't go to take care of Lin Bai, she handed it over to Caiyun's help. Caiyun belonged to the stewart of his wife's mother's family. It was convenient for no one to come out and go in. She told Ruoying about the situation there every day, and also Don't be afraid of being known.
"I'm in good health, but I'm in poor spirits. I'll ask you when I go, but I also know that your wife should not go out all the time, so I won't mention it anymore." Caiyun was somewhat sad when he said it and sighed, "Mr. Lin is such a good person, why don't you think about finding someone?"
Ruoying shook her head with a wry smile, "Although I'm a sister, I'm afraid it's not easy to manage private things. Let nature take its course!" Caiyun sewed the last needle code of the little red jacket in his hand, picked it up and looked at it, "What do you think, madam?"
A little red jacket looks festive and cute, "It's so good." Caiyun also squeezed his lips and said happily, "It's not as good as my aunt's craftsmanship. By the way, when I came, my aunt also blew me and told you to give birth to a baby quickly. Whether it's a daughter or a boy, she wrapped the little clothes."
She blushed when she was told, and Ruo Ying lowered her head shyly, "How can you be so powerful that you want to get it?" Caiyun held her soft palm and said, "Madam is tired. She will be raised at home tomorrow." Ruo Ying nodded with a smile and put it down and stopped mentioning it.
Turned the topic to the shop in Linxian County. Caiyun seemed to talk about it. Lan Ruoqi, who talked endlessly, was eager to try and wanted to go back to play, and she hadn't seen Liangfeng for a long time. Qiuer, really missed her.
They were chatting happily. Caier brought a little girl in Du's room. When the little girl saw Ruozhu, she was very respectful and bowed and said, "The maidservant is Chunni in the second lady's room of the Lian family. Greetings to the second lady."
I have been here for more than half a month, but I have never seen anyone other than the Lian family. This second wife should be Lian Wenguang's wife, right? Ruoyu nodded with a smile and ordered Donger to reward iron money. She thanked her happily and then said, "It was hot a few days ago. My wife wanted to invite the second lady to pick up the wind for a banquet. The second master of the Lian family cherished his wife. It was not allowed, and there was no chance. The weather was much better these two days, and my wife thought Let's hold a tea party tomorrow to catch up with the second lady.
Ruoyu nodded with a smile, "That's really bothering my sister. You said that I've been bored at home these two days and I'm about to get moldy. It's good if someone can really talk to me." When Chunni heard Ruoyu's words, she was even more happy and bent her eyebrows, "If the second lady loves to go, my wife is happier!" The maidservant won't bother anymore. Go back and let my wife know, so that she won't miss it.
After she finished speaking, Dong'er sent her out, but Cai'er didn't mean to leave. She walked to Ruo's side, blessed her body and said, "Second lady, tomorrow, the old lady and cousin, the eldest lady is also going. I don't know when she wants to go?"
"This..." Ruoyu really doesn't understand the rules, "Go back and discuss with the old lady! Just let me know before you go tomorrow." Cai'er got the letter and retreated.
Seeing that people were gone, Caiyun hurriedly called in all the girls in the yard, found Ruo Yan's clothes one by one, put them on and looked at them with everyone. Ruo Yan frowned and blamed her for making a big fuss, but it was just a tea party. Caiyun said, "This place is not as casual as Lin County. If you dress in a shabby way, you will laugh at the master."
Xiaer also nodded in favor and was busy choosing her head: "What Sister Caiyun said is that the lady should clean up well even for the sake of the master's face." After saying that, he sighed, "It's just that I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to make a few new clothes and new uppers."
"Isn't it? I didn't look at the wife of the second room without any good intentions, waiting to see us make a fool of themselves. Donger combed the folds on her dress and didn't forget to complain. Caiyun paused and said, "This is unpleasant, but it is not impossible, so we need to be more careful. If it's in winter, I'm afraid the lady in the capital can't compare with the lady's jacket.
"Hey! By the way, the lotus pleated skirt given to his wife by the official Lin!" Xia'er slapped her eyes a little brighter. But..." Ruoying hurriedly refused. Although the lotus pleated was carefully drawn by Lin Bai, the collar was a little lower, afraid that Liang Mu would be unhappy.
"Why not?" Several maids asked at the same time, and Ruoyan blushed, "That collar is too low." Xia Er didn't think so. She held her chin and thought about it carefully...
The horse wind swept across the street, which shocked the ducks and ran around. The ducks angrily scolded a few times before they could collect the ducks. In a blink of an eye, a carriage attacked from the rear, which scared the duck chaser to even take care of the ducks and dodged into the yard of the others to hide.
"Oh! I really didn't worship the Buddha well in the morning. How did I meet the plague god? Seeing the scared duck, he stamped his feet and scolded his mother angrily. Passers-by shook their heads secretly, sighing that he was a heartless. How to choose to drive animals on the rich road, even if he was crushed to death, he should be unlucky.
A kind-hearted old man helped him collect the ducks and asked with concern, "But how many are missing?" Not to mention the frightened quacking, it's really a lot. The duck chaser shook his head with a smile: "No less, no less..."
"It's good to drive away. Go to other intersections quickly. Don't walk on this road. How can you drive away livestock here?" The old man kindly advised, and the man nodded quickly and wiped the sweat from his head. "I know this, but the Lian family in front of me wanted this fresh duck. Since I didn't have a ox cart, I came at dusk."
"Oh! Then hurry up and go!" The old man waved his hand to him, and the duckman thanked him and left. Urgently thinking that the second master of the Lian family went to his house, the women under the kitchen in the yard inspected the goods and took him to withdraw the iron money.
As soon as he turned to leave, he listened to the women inside discussing. The owner's wife liked to eat duck faces, and the owner in the West Garden liked to eat duck feet. He took these two kinds of good duck legs to make a white shredded meat, and threw the rest to the people below.
It's true that people are better than others, and they throw away goods! The duck driver sighed and lowered his head. As soon as he turned around, someone shouted, "Where did you come from?" What are you doing here?" I asked the king's wife under the kitchen and saw him face to face.
The duck driver smiled and said, "I just sent ducks here. Let's go." Mrs. Wang frowned and stared at him in disgust. "What kind of land is this? Can ordinary people come in? Hurry up and go out. If the things here are dirty and the masters eat bad, we can't afford it."
Hearing what she said seriously, she was so scared that the duck chaser ran out. Mrs. Liu came over and gently patted Mrs. Wang, "As long as you have the leisure, you still tease the man!" I heard that the second lady in charge of the uncle's family is coming, but I don't know what this master likes to eat. You have stayed in the north and want to think about it. If you lose your face, you will be punished.
Mrs. Wang scratched her head in embarrassment. This man's taste was difficult to think about. She thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask the girls in front of you. Maybe you can find out a mouth, which is better than us thinking about it."
Liu Niangzi nodded, "Oi, I'll ask."
Aside from being busy inside and outside the second room of the Lian family, even the wife and concubines of the second house of the Lian family are carefully dressed up and strive to shine tomorrow, especially listening to others say that the housekeeper of the housekeeper of the Lian family is a beautiful person. She is looking forward to seeing and worrying about herself. The appearance was compared, so they all worked hard.
Love of beauty is a woman's nature. When this nature is interpreted more perfectly, it really becomes the focus of everyone. However, Lan Ruoyan is like this at this time, "Wow... so beautiful!" Juaner held the magnolia petals in her hand and was stunned as soon as she entered the door.
Xia'er was also satisfied and nodded deeply: "I have never seen anyone more beautiful than my wife." Caiyun wiped the clothes on his hand with satisfaction, shook his head, but couldn't say a word. He simply reached out and touched his stomach, "My son, in the future, we will say that my daughter-in-law will look for it like my wife."
It made the whole room laugh. What's the matter laughing so happily?" Kangtou heard from the girl outside that her wife was in the lady's room, thinking that she had not worshipped her for a few days and opened the way for the master. She came in first. Before anyone answered his question, the kang was already stupid there, his eyes were locked on his wife's body, and his eyes couldn't wait to be straight.
Xia'er was so angry that he pinched his waist, "Madam, don't look at it like this." Only then did the kang head reflect and quickly withdrew to welcome the master in with a sullen head. Liang Mu held a delicate basket in his hand. As soon as he was about to go in, he saw several maids jumping out like fish, looking at himself mysteriously and smiling, which made him a little puzzled.
Dong'er was the most naughty. Seeing that his master was in a daze, he pushed him in. As soon as he turned around, the door was closed tightly, and he only heard the laughter outside gradually fade away. These little girl are getting worse and worse. Liang Mu shook his sleeves and put down the basket in his hand.
"Father, are you back?" Ruoyan lowered her head and walked quietly to him. He suddenly turned around and saw the smooth/tender skin in front of him, with dizzy pink, with tender green breasts inside, and faint breasts/halolows between his head, which made people couldn't help drooling. He wore a light pink lotus leaf pleated skirt outside. With the ups and downs of breathing, the floating pleated breeze was light. Floating, like a cloud accompanied by fog.
Seeing that he was staring at himself, Ruoyan couldn't help blushing and stabbing him in the chest with her slender white fingers, "Do I look good?" Liang Mu has also been a beauty for a long time. She has been cultivated and sound for a long time. A pair of big hands rushed to the low breasts on her chest. "It's really beautiful."
Look? She knew her father-in-law, but he still disliked being exposed. Ruoyu pouted and said, "I said that this dress is not good, but Xia'er, Caiyun and others all said it was beautiful. Let me wear this dress to go to my sister-in-law's house in the second room to make that laborious tea party!"
Liang Mu reached out and held her pair of softness, pulled her to sit on her lap, and touched her fluffy undwinded hair. "It's all from my daughters, so it's okay. Do you want to wear some head?" Ruoying shook her head and stretched out her finger to the jewelry box: "The phoenix head hairpin is too old-fashioned, and the bead flowers are not good-looking. They also said they are not elegant. What do you think is good to wear if you don't have a father-law?"
Her tone was a little anxious, but Liang Mu looked indifferent. She looked a little aggrieved and couldn't help complaining, "It's not all complaining about you. I always let me stay at home and don't go out for wandering around. I bought some good heads there, but I lost your face, can't blame you?"
"How can I disgrace you?" Liang Mu smiled, reached out and took out a golden box from his arms and handed it over to Ruoyan's hand: "Open it quietly?" Who doesn't like to receive gifts? Seeing that he is so close to him, it must be a good thing. He put the golden box in his hand, close his eyes slightly, and open it at the moment he opens it.
The gorgeous glow at dusk is reflected on the warm and pink pearls, flashing with different lusters, especially the huge and full size, which is evenly arranged and neatly, and the length can be wrapped around the neck three times, making Ruo Zhuoqi, "How much silver does it cost for so many pink pearls?"
Liang Mu closed his mouth and did not answer, but took them out, put them on her long white neck, and then took out the pearl earrings and put them into the ear holes. He looked away and smiled endlessly, "This is worthy of my wife."
"Hmm!" Ruo Ying frowned and said, "I'm asking you the price! Say it quickly?" Liang Mu shook her head and smiled, and kissed her neck, so that she just wanted to escape. "Say, say..." Liang Mu shook her head and kissed her endlessly: "Don't say, I'm afraid you have a stomachache." The price is enough to make her have a stomachache. It seems that it's better not to listen.
Around the hour, Du's girl came to blow. Ruoyu hurried to clean up the post and asked Liang Mu and several others to say that it was okay, and then she went to the second room of the Lian family with He, Du and Du Sanniang.
As soon as several people entered the yard, there were many girls dressed in gold and silver. They entered the inner courtyard. On the way, they saw an old lady coming this way surrounded by many girls.
Du whispered to Ruo, "This is the old lady of the second room. You call her second aunt." If you nod clearly, but have a lot of doubts in your heart. Obviously, she is the old lady of the second room, should she be younger than Du's? Why is her hair full of gray hair, like an old lady? It's not too much to be Du's mother.
"Ouch! Whose daughter-in-law is this? He was born so handsomely." The old lady in the second room looked at Ruoqi with a smile and looked up and down. Seeing that she unconsciously lowered her head and blessed her body, "The second niece Ruoqi has seen the second aunt."
He also shorted and said with a smile, "Look! Or is our sister-in-law having a face? The second aunt doesn't come out to see people easily. How can she come out to enjoy flowers and wine today?
Second Aunt Lian stretched her eyebrows and smiled more happily. She reached out and pulled Ruoyuan to her side. "You little girl, your mouth is still so tricky. I just like Ruoyuan. What's wrong?"
Du Shi laughed and said, "It's hard to say if you like it. Let her laugh with you every day tomorrow, okay?" Aunt Lian's warm palm patted and patted her little hand and nodded with a smile: "It's so good. I'm afraid that your sister-in-law will be reluctant to do it."
It's really weird to be called Du's second sister-in-law at such an old age. Seeing them, I went inside with your words. Ruoyu simply lowered her head as a bowing little daughter-in-law and went into the inner room.
As soon as she sat firmly in front of the tea case and held the tea sent by Xiaoqiu in her hand, she saw a woman in a big red silk light long skirt and went straight to her seat. If she stood up quickly, she was a little older, her head and face were precious, and her face was noble. She should be a housekeeper's wife.
Before she called someone, the person came and held her hand warmly, "Is this the second sister? I'm your sister-in-law." Ruo Yan hurriedly returned the salute with a smile on her face, thinking that Liang Mu had once said that Li Erniang was strict and very harsh on her concubines. If she got a bad word, she would propose to sell it, and even the second aunt would be afraid of her.
I didn't expect to see you today, but he was also a refreshing and teachable person. He smiled and apologized: "My sister-in-law has been here for a long time, but I haven't come to visit my sister-in-law and aunt. It's really wrong. I hope my sister-in-law won't be surprised."
"What did you say? We are all from our own!" Li Erniang reached out and took out the candied apricot meat on the plate and put it in her hand. She seemed to be afraid of being seen. She whispered, "The candied fruit on your plate is unusual. It was shipped back from the Western Regions Capital. Would you like to taste it?"
Ruoyan listened to what she said and ate one quickly. She felt that it was no different, but her face was full of smiles and praised the deliciousness. The two quickly became enthusiastic and chatted with each other hand in hand. He Shi sneered and said in his heart that these are all unprofitable people. I'm afraid that they want to be a complimented. This is to her, but on the day their man died of illness, these people who smiled flatteringly changed their appearance and were about to take away their wealth.
Du Sanniang saw that Du and her second aunt were chatting worthless. She was also bored and couldn't go anywhere, so she came to He's place and sat down to talk to her. She thought that she had nothing but sneered at herself, which made her even more boring.
Li Erniang talked to Ruo and took her to the ladies to recognize her. She was basically the same age as He's and a little young, but she stood behind the head lady and bowed down to do it. She should be a concubine.
Seeing that people had almost arrived, Li Erniang ordered someone to invite the art girl with tea to perform. Four beautiful children carried a short wooden square table and put them in the middle of the court. A thin woman in white came gently from the sandwich road and knelt down. They held a pot in their left and gently sprinkled them at the tea set. They splashed a little water and fog. When the tea was warm, they began to mix the water with matcha and explained softly.
"The tea ceremony is nine difficulties, three o'clock, thirteen is appropriate, and seven taboos..." The rules of the dogma are pleasant and gentle in her mouth. She said that she would make cloth tea, with tea, flush water, shower her head... The movements were elegant but methodical, just like enjoying a dance. Before long, there were bursts of tea fragrance, lingering around the tip of the nose.
