"By the way, when I go up the mountain for a while, you can take care of Yiyi for me. She has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She is not sensible and easy to be provoked." With that, the second lady specially looked at Su yunrou, who was walking slowly not far away. Then she lowered her voice and said, "a while ago, your second uncle also said that you're going to have hairpins after the new year's, and he plans to put hairpins for you in person."
Beiyan women's 14-year-old hairpin is a great gift. The more attention the elders attach to it, the bigger the banquet will be held. At that time, the elders will put hairpins on the women in public to represent their adulthood. It also means that the people present will see each other and be ready to discuss marriage.
If a woman wants to marry well in the future, she must have a decent hairpin ceremony.
Lin Chuyu smiles: "second aunt, don't worry. I'll try my best to look after eighth sister."
"I'm relieved to have you here." The second lady deliberately filled up Lin Chuyu's words.
Lin Chuyu looks at Su Yiyi, whose chin is high, and then at Su yunrou, who has put on a beautiful skin again and smiles gently and modestly. For a while, there will be a good play.
"Second aunt." Su yunrou came over. After the ceremony, she gave up a girl with slender figure and low self-esteem, and intimately introduced: "this is the third elder sister. Chu Yu hasn't seen her yet. My mother said that the third elder sister is always at home, and it's not good. Now the Empress Dowager orders that the sixth younger sister can't go, so she let me take the third elder sister with me."
Su yunrou said, the girl immediately nervous on the front of the ceremony: "Qingfang met two aunts."
The second lady looked at her drooping face, red phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows. Besides being thinner, she was also a natural beauty. Line three, it's not the daughter of aunt Zhao who was hidden in the backyard by the doctor and refused to ask the master to have a look more.
Think of here, the second lady see Su Qingfang's eyes are a lot of gentle: "get up quickly, before to please too many children, also didn't remember you." With that, he took Su Qingfang's hand and gave her a big transparent jade bracelet on his wrist.
The second lady is plump, and the big bracelet is on Su Qingfang's wrist, which looks round, rich and beautiful. But Su Qingfang's wrist is as thin as a child's, and the heavy Bracelet makes her poor and ridiculous.
Su Yiyi didn't resist a poop, and Su yunrou pretended not to see it. It was a tool for marriage anyway.
After the greetings, several people got on the carriage and went to Changle nunnery, where the Empress Dowager would leave later.
Lin Chuyu and Su Yiyi take a carriage, and Su yunrou and Su Qingfang take another. From beginning to end, Su Yiyi glances at Lin Chuyu and looks out of the window with his back straight. Lin Chuyu is also happy and quiet. When he arrives at Changle nunnery, he goes to the wing room to receive the Empress Dowager.
But before long, Lin Chuyu heard a muffled cry coming from the next room.
"On this auspicious day, who is crying because of such bad luck?" Spring flower is tired of mumbling, snow white just curious probe out to see, soon came back: "it seems that the third lady is crying."
Mentioning these three young ladies, Lin Chuyu remembers that her biological mother was a prostitute who was famous in the capital. She heard that countless people were trying to redeem her. Unexpectedly, she was cheated by the great master Su Yunsong. Later, she was redeemed by Su Yunsong and raised in the outer room. After she gave birth to Su Qingfang, she was beaten by the later fangs to Yingjin mansion. He was so angry that Su Guogong beat her up Yunsong had a meal. After that, Su Yunsong did not dare to have any good color for the mother and daughter.
"Snow white, go to ask what's the matter. After a while, the Empress Dowager will come. If you see her crying, you need to ask. We can't get it back." Lin Chuyu said faintly.
White snow know Lin Chuyu knife mouth tofu heart, immediately should go next door.
After a while, Bai Xue came back and said something about Su Qingfang.
"Miss three said nothing and asked Nu to thank miss for her concern." Snow White's round face was full of confusion.
"Then you don't have to ask any more. You just take care of some eight young ladies. Don't let her get into trouble." Lin Chuyu said that someone had come to say that the Empress Dowager had come up the mountain and asked them to go out to meet her.
When the Empress Dowager came to the temple, the nuns in the temple had already been waiting for her. Several ladies of the Su family were appointed by the Empress Dowager to accompany them, so when they came, the nuns quickly gave way.
Su yunrou naturally stands in the front, Su Yiyi follows her closely, while Su Qingfang stands behind Lin Chuyu with her head down.
From time to time, Su Qingfang secretly takes a look at Lin Chuyu, saying that this watch girl is not simple, but now she is also a girl of the same age
"What's the matter?" Lin Chuyu noticed her eyes and asked her.
"It's OK, it's ok..." Su Qingfang quickly smiles and shakes her head. Then she notices that sweet potato looks at her and lowers her head.
Lin Chuyu looked at her nervously pulling her skirt and said calmly, "don't be afraid for a while. The Empress Dowager is a Buddhist worshiper. It doesn't matter if you make some minor mistakes."
It was the first time that Su Qingfang heard someone other than her mother comforting her like this. Tears came out again. She choked and nodded. She wanted to say something more. The Empress Dowager had come.All of them did not dare to look up to see what clothes the Empress Dowager was wearing and what she looked like today. Only the abbot of the nunnery met her and spoke.
Lin Chuyu also lowered her head, but always felt that there was a gaze on her, which made her uncomfortable.
"There is a vegetarian house in the temple. Please come here, Empress Dowager." The abbot said respectfully.
"Well."
With a faint old voice, the empress dowager, who was surrounded by the empress dowager, left without any intention of talking to the Su family.
"You are the ladies of the Su family."
Su yunrou takes the lead and looks at the well-dressed mammy before meeting. She responds appropriately: "my daughter Su yunrou has met mammy Shen with her sisters."
Mother Shen is the mother favored by the Empress Dowager. No one else has seen her, but Su yunrou has.
She lifted her up with a smile, and then said with a smile, "the Empress Dowager has given orders. Several young ladies have worked hard along the way. After the Empress Dowager has had a meal, just go to accompany the Empress Dowager to chant Buddhist scriptures. And today, after the empress dowager, there are several princes and princesses, and the ladies should pay attention to the collision. "
"I understand. I will pay attention to it." Su yunrou tries her best to show the demeanor and elegance of all her young ladies.
She just asked with a smile: "who is Miss Lin Chuyu?"
Lin Chuyu didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would specifically mention her. She stepped forward and looked down and said, "it's the people's daughter."
Mother Shen looked at her up and down, with judgment in her eyes, but without malice. She was more and more satisfied with her simple and elegant dress: "the Empress Dowager wants Miss Lin to serve her meal, please come here."
Serving the Empress Dowager for dinner is a rare honor. Su Yi saw that the Empress Dowager actually asked Lin Chuyu to go. She was not reconciled and said, "mother Shen, sister Chuyu doesn't know the rules of Beiyan. It's hard to avoid losing the rules for her to go alone. It's better for her to follow me."
Su Yiyi's this small idea, mother Shen saw through at a glance, but she still said with a smile: "it's rare that the young lady has the heart, but the Empress Dowager's order, the maidservant dare not tamper with it easily." With that, he motioned to Lin Chuyu. Lin Chuyu told Bai Xue and Chunhua to stay, and then followed mother Shen.
"Why did the Empress Dowager ask her to go?" Su Yiyi watched them go away, and then stamped her feet to make a sound.
Su yunrou loosened the tightly twisted handkerchief and said with a smile, "maybe it's because Chuyu's younger sister has won the favor of his Royal Highness the king of Henan."
When it comes to the king of Henan, Su Yiyi is even more unwilling. How can a character like the king of Henan, a slave like Lin Chuyu, be worthy of the title?
"Eight younger sister, there are princesses and princesses all over the mountain this time. You must be careful. If you collide with a noble person, it's no joke. I heard that a young lady who collided with the ninth Princess last year was humiliated by the ninth Princess and killed herself at home on the spot." Su yunrou kindly exhorts.
Su Yiyi smell speech, in the heart immediately calculated, but on the face only smile way: "or four elder sister good, know to remind younger sister, you rest assured, younger sister must remember.". But the fourth elder sister should also be careful. If you look like this, you will be miserable in case you bring in wild bees and butterflies and ruin your reputation. "
Su yunrou looks at her and understands that Su Yiyi deliberately provokes her with words, but she just smiles gently and goes back to the wing room with an excuse.
Su Yiyi saw her go, angry to kick the snow on the ground: "is not relying on a bit of beauty to cheat a few men to hold her, not as good as those who sell themselves in brothels."
"Miss, there are so many people here. You must pay attention to what you say." The second lady sent to follow her mother-in-law immediately advised.
"I know. I won't do anything rash." Finish saying, Su Yiyi and not reconciled toward Lin Chuyu's direction to see an eye, ability coax of left.
When she left, Wei Zhan, who had been staring at him in the dark, came out slowly. Just now he looked at Lin Chuyu. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt the profile. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere recently. But now the empress dowager, who is famous for not meeting outsiders, will actually find her to serve her. It must be the hand of the king of Yu. Is uncle Yu really thinking about her?
"Your Highness, your Highness the king of Yu won't go up the mountain tonight. He said he won't come until tomorrow." A boy came and whispered.
"Of course, he can't come. He is so hurt that he can pretend to be nothing to see the Empress Dowager." Wei Zhan coldly finish saying, toward Lin Chuyu left direction looked again, thin lips slowly, the greater the value of Lin Chuyu, the more he wants to get it!
Lin Chuyu and mother Shen all the way to the place where the Empress Dowager fasts. In a small room, the maids in blue jacket stand on both sides. The Empress Dowager sits at the bottom of the Empress Dowager's head, while the Empress Dowager in a silver gray wide sleeve suit sits at the top with a cold face. Her hair is almost white, her wrinkles are stacked on her face, and her eyes are cold, but she doesn't cry at all I doubt the dignity and coldness of the eyes.
"Lin Chuyu, the daughter of the people, has met the Empress Dowager." Lin Chuyu glanced at it in a hurry, then immediately lowered her eyes and went forward.
"Lin Chuyu." The Empress Dowager read her name, raised her eyes and looked at her lightly. She was still young, but her eyes were rare. She was neither frightened nor flattered."Come on, serve the family." When the Empress Dowager finished, a maid in waiting beckoned Lin Chuyu to come forward.
Lin Chuyu stepped forward, and the maid of honor handed him a pair of silver chopsticks. Lin Chuyu held the sleeve of her right hand, holding the silver chopsticks, and began to serve the Empress Dowager carefully.
