In late June, the heat wave hit and cicadas chirped more than once. Most people do not want to go out in this season. In the early morning, with the help of her maid, Yang ningya and her three sisters dressed up beautifully. They got into the carriage and went with Cheng to the flower feast of Mu's house.
The weather was sultry and the three of them were in the same carriage. Even if there were ice in the carriage, they were sweating.
The servant girl lilac took the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Yang ningya's forehead and said, "it's too hot. If only it could rain.
Yang Ningxin leaned on Yang Ningxi and said, "isn't it ma? In such a hot day, what kind of flower feast is it? Is it tiring?"
When she got up early in the morning, she was forced to put on layers of gorgeous clothes and beautiful but heavy jewelry. She felt that her body was almost crushed by these clothes.
Yang ningxinlu was born with a loveless expression. She really didn't want to settle her marriage so early, or even to marry herself out.
Yang Ningxi looked at her like this and couldn't help laughing, "look at your small appearance. People who don't know think we force you to go to the execution ground." "Isn't it?" Yang Ningxin stares round her eyes.
Yang ningya covered her mouth and said with a smile, "don't let other expensive girls hear you, otherwise, you'll have to laugh at your life. For all the noble girls in the capital, the flower feast is the only platform for them to show themselves. Through their outstanding performance, they are known by the ladies and wives of the upper class circle, so as to gain a good reputation and find a good marriage relationship.
Yang Ningxin disdained to snort coldly, and said that those noble women, who are also Huangpo, sell melons and boast, pretending to be virtuous and virtuous, and confuse other people's eyes.
Yang Ningxi poked the girl's cheek and said with a smile, "you, when you go to someone else's house, you can't talk at will, so as not to lose your face."
Do I look like such an ignorant person?
When they saw her like this, they couldn't help laughing.
The flower feast was held in Chuang Tzu, outside the city. Chuang Tzu packed it up early in the morning. The banquet was set up in the backyard with a lotus pond on its back. A stage was set up not far away. It is said that famous actors from the capital were invited to sing the opera.
The flower appreciation banquet was held by the Mu family. Inside and outside, Cheng's family was in Zhangluo, and mandarin ducks and magpies were waiting at the door to register and lead people in.
"Mrs. Yang, are you here?" Seeing Cheng and the three girls, Yuanyang immediately grinned and moved forward, respectfully taking them to the backyard guest room and leaving after making arrangements.
The lady ordered that the young girls of the Yang family should be treated well. One of them is the future young grandmother. Naturally, Yuanyang is doing her best.
It's really worthy of being a rich family. This servant girl is proper to handle affairs. "Cheng said as he cleaned his hands. Yang Ningxi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "look at what the eldest aunt said, is it possible that our Yang family is a small family, and Chunya next to her also laughed," madam, is this accusing the maid of doing something wrong? "You..." If you don't win, Cheng simply doesn't say. Several girls hugged each other and laughed.
After dressing up in the wing room, Cheng took several girls to the garden. As soon as they appeared, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Qian were naturally very happy to meet each other, and they kept talking.
The three girls followed Cheng with a decent smile. They were quiet, but they felt smart and sensible.
Several ladies looked at them quietly, and they were all somewhat satisfied. They were pretty and good-natured. They were sure to be prosperous when they got married. Therefore, they became more and more attracted to Cheng.
Qin was talking to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. When he saw them coming, he stood up. "Here comes Mrs. Yang. Come and sit down here."
Mrs. Cheng's wife was flattered when she sat down with Mrs. Chen ruoyuan.
The seat of the flower feast is very exquisite. It not only reflects the dignity of status, but also the relationship between each other. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is a lady of noble status. Cheng dare not sit beside her rashly. It is an offence to the king and his wife.
After Cheng's seat, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo smiles at her, as if to praise her for her understanding of etiquette.
Several ladies also took their seats with Cheng, and the three girls, seeing that there were no other valuable women around them, stood aside deftly. The Qin family saw this and quickly called the maid and led them to the East chamber.
"Bailing, you take some girls to the East chamber to play with sister Hua. The girls always have a lot to say." Say, oneself pour is to smile first.
The three girls saluted their wives and followed bailing to the East chamber.
"Are those girls from the Yang family? Good face. " It was the wife of Guanglu Temple minister. "The disposition is excellent." The Duke and wife of Zhenguo also said that she had a smile on her face. It seemed that she was very fond of several girls.
All the ladies present know that both the legitimate son and the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo have already married, but their youngest son and several common sons are still unmarried. Does this not mean that the young girls of the Yang family may marry into the government.
For a moment, everyone vied to praise several girls and fawn on Cheng, who made him laugh and cry. Bailing and Yang ningya went to the small garden in the East chamber. The courtyard was colorful, elegant and full of aura. After entering the arch, there was a green brick road. There was a pavilion in the rockery of the garden. There were many young girls in gorgeous clothes standing or sitting in the pavilion, and their voices reached the sky.Among these girls, some of them were acquainted with Yang ningya and Yang Ningxi, and the one sitting in the middle was Mu Sihua, the legitimate daughter of Mu's family.
Miss, these are some girls from Yang's residence. My wife asked me to talk with all the girls and get to know each other. "Bailing and Mu Sihua report.
On hearing this, Mu Sihua quickly stood up, came over, took Yang ningya's hand, and said, "it turns out that it's a girl from the Yang family. It looks really pretty."
Mu Sihua is one year younger than Yang ningya. She is generous and speaks in a proper manner. Yang Ningxin looks at her quietly and feels that she looks a bit like Mu Chen, especially her eyes and mouth, which have the characteristics of Mu family.
"We are still cousins, but we seldom meet." Yang ningya is mu Chen's cousin, and Mu Chen is mu Sihua's cousin.
"We are blessed to have such a beautiful cousin as my sister." Yang ningya is very talkative.
No one doesn't like people with a sweet mouth. Mu Sihua covers his lips with a veil and smiles gracefully. He glances at Yang ningya and says, "my sister really knows how to talk. Sit down quickly."
My mother had said hello before, said that the second elder brother took a fancy to the girl of Yang's house, and let her treat her well. Don't neglect the future sister-in-law.
He took Yang ningya to sit beside her, and ordered her servant girls to serve tea. Mu Sihua was the legitimate daughter of the master family. All the girls present were led by her. She was close to Yang's girls. Whether they know each other or not, they all say hello to them.
Yang ningya is dignified and elegant, elegant and quiet. Yang Ningxin is cute and witty. She is lively. She has heard many stories with Shen Jingli recently. A few interesting stories make these ladies laugh.
"Sister Xin'er is really interesting." Next to her, a girl covered her mouth and said with a smile. She was wearing a long red dress embroidered with peonies and wearing a peony bun. The bun was inlaid with gemstones, and she was graceful.
Yang ningya looked at her face, and then looked at her dress, and knew her identity. She was busy pulling Yang Ningxin's sleeves, so that she could not be too complacent.
It's not, she's just a little shrew. "Yang Ningxi pinched her arm with a smile," sisters, don't be surprised. "
Several girls laughed again. Just now the girl was the legitimate miss of the town government, named Tao lingshuang. She also looked at Yang Ningxin quietly and laughed with satisfaction.
Mu Sihua was also very happy when he saw everyone chatting happily. He said with a smile: "recently, people in my sister-in-law's house can make red bean milk smoothies and papaya milk syrup. My mother sent the cook to learn it. Today, I just want to let the sisters taste the fresh food.
"That's nice. It's a good drink." A round faced girl answered with a smile.
"You should be careful not to drink too much. It's too cold. If you drink too much, it's not good for your intestines and stomach." Mu Sihua smiles and calls the maid to come over.
Soon, the kitchen will be red bean milk sand ice and papaya milk sugar water sent up.
The weather is hot, at this time eating sand ice just to relieve the summer heat, girls a bowl a person, eat very happy. After a while, Yuanyang and Huagen came to call for people, saying that the stage had begun to sing, and asked the girls to go to the theatre.
"It's said that the one invited here today is a famous corner in the capital city, and the performance of this play is first-class and first-class." "Then we'll have ear blessing today.
The girls, smiling, went to the garden.
The ladies and wives had already entered their seats, and they were all talking to people who were familiar with each other and talking about their favorite girls.
The girls took their seats at the girls' seats, and the maids offered tea and music lists. The girls began to discuss the repertoire one after another.
After singing the song, the servant girl came to add tea. She accidentally spilled Yang ningya all over her body. Mu Sihua exclaimed, "Oh, why are you so careless You can change your dress to my room.
Yang ningya nodded and went to the wing room with Mu Sihua.
After the flower feast, Yang ningya and the three girls got on the carriage with Cheng. On the way back, Cheng and the three girls were in the same car. As soon as the carriage left the village of mu, Cheng pointed to Yang Ningxin and said, "how did you get in trouble with the lady of Zhenguo? My wife asked me a lot about you
"Ask me what to do?" Yang Ningxin heartless ground should a, took a fruit to gnaw.
"I'm afraid I've taken a fancy to you. I want to beg you to be a daughter-in-law. "Yang Ningxi couldn't help teasing her. "What?" She was surprised and the fruit fell off.
Don't look at her. She's only 14 years old and hasn't thought of getting married so early.
Yang Ningxin patted her chest, "sister Xi, don't frighten me. I'm timid and not scared. If the Duke and wife of Zhenguo take a fancy to her, her grandfather and grandmother will marry her. God, is she going to be decided when she is so young?
But Cheng saxin's wife would rather go to the lake and lake as soon as possible
"If you want to travel in the world with your little arms and legs, save your energy." Cheng chuckled at her forehead.Yang Ningxin waved her arm defiantly, "how can I not wander around the world? I have no strength, but I have money.
This can make everyone laugh, Yang ningya laugh back and forth, happy.
"Well, you're not the only one to look at you. Maybe they just think your behavior is out of line, so they asked a few more questions."
Yang Ningxin is unconvinced and snorts, and the family goes back to Yang's house.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Cheng immediately went to Xifu house and told the old lady about today's affairs. It's a good thing that even the girl Ningxin has been inquired about. " With a smile on her face, Zhao's greatest expectation is to marry a good family in the future.
"The Duke and wife of the State mentioned casually that their family was about the same age as Ning Xin, with only one son of two sons and a common son. "My wife is a good mistress, and she treats the common children very well. I'm afraid it's for the common people to see each other this time.
"If you have a good character, it's OK for you to marry in the past. That's the reason. Cheng nodded.
The old lady at the table drank a cup of tea and said, "if someone comes to propose a marriage, you will feel good about it. The two girls are not young. In another year or two, Ning Tian and Ning Xin will be engaged.
Cheng's and Zhao's nodded their heads, and their daughter's marriage was more important than anyone else's.
However, the most important thing is Ning Yi's marriage. The second daughter-in-law, you can ask him some other day. If you really don't want to marry, you should marry him a intimate one. We Yang family don't care about this face.
It is generally believed that only those who are not in good health and can not get married will marry a girl of low rank. Therefore, once the two sons of a family marry a girl, they will be laughed at.
"OK. I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
A few days later, the Mu family invited a matchmaker to come and propose marriage to Yang ningya.
