green bamboo dream

Seeing that Cui's old god was present, Yu Zhu sat down again, and said in surprise, "Mother, isn't there conclusive evidence to go in now?"

"Stupid child, you always have to worry about your father's face. Could it be that he doesn't even have the freedom to talk to others?" Cui Shi looked at the pavilion in the middle of the lake from a distance, and the slender and graceful figure had gradually moved away from the door. Arriving at the heart of the pavilion, the table where Lin Yuanzhi was sitting was getting closer and closer, and he sneered: "Besides, your father hasn't chased her away yet, this Zilu must be well-behaved, doesn't it mean that these two singers are both He is literate and talented, how can he not make good use of this advantage.【26nbsp;】”

Cui chatted leisurely with Yuzhu, glanced at the pavilion occasionally, and saw Lin Yuanzhi stand up after a while, and strode away without hesitation.

"It's time for Daddy to stop ringing." Yu Zhu hesitated as the tall figure gradually disappeared from sight, and asked, "Mom, do you want to see Zi Lu alone?"

"See what she does, don't imitate those petty threats, and get a great reputation in vain, and there will be no other benefits except to scare the snake away."

"That……"

Cui Shi nodded on Yu Zhu's forehead angrily and amusedly: "This is knowing oneself and knowing the enemy." Regardless of Zi Lu who was still reluctantly staring at Lin Yuanzhi's back, she took Yu Zhu's hand and left.

……

In the past few days, it will be the [-]th birthday of the old lady of the Yongchang Hou Mansion. This is considered to be an official appearance in the upper social circle of the capital after the separation of the three bedrooms, which is of course very important.

Early in the morning, Yuzhu hugged the quilt and was sleeping soundly. Hua Ruo, Zaoyuan, Yinlian and Qinsi were the big maids, and they worked together to dig him out of the quilt, and then nervously began to dress up. She took special care of her, so when Yuzhu finally woke up and opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that today she was combing her hair like a hanging girl, wearing only a pearl flower made of coral beads with big round thumbs in her crow-feather black hair. , the upper body is wearing a lotus gauze shirt as clear as water, and the lower part is a dove feather-colored pleated dress. It is expensive, but it always feels... a bit childish.

When I went to Cui's house, I saw that Yulan was also brightly dressed. I saw her wearing a silk pipa skirt with a tumbler butterfly and a hundred flowers smoke anchovy skirt, and on her hair the rose crystal and lotus crabapple that Cui gave her last time. The wing-repairing jade luan hairpin is dazzling and eye-catching, and the ears are pendants with gold silk rings and beads, which are three points brighter than usual against the carefully modified face.

Yongchanghou's Mansion and Deyuan are not on the same axis. Since arriving in the capital, she hasn't been in a carriage for so long, and the shaking makes Yuzhu feel a little uncomfortable. She should be glad that her motion sickness is better in this life than in her previous life.

The gate of the Hou Mansion was wide open, and the concierge was tied with red silk around his waist. Two long strings of red firecrackers, one on each side, were lifted high by bamboo poles, and a strong festive and lively atmosphere rushed over.Because the group of people who came here were all female guests, the mother in charge led them in through the corner gate, got out of their own carriage and changed into a soft sedan chair with green mantle specially used for the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Door.

There was a maid at the door waiting to pick up the guests, and when the guests came, someone would go forward to lead the way, but it was orderly.

Cui took the two girls and walked slowly along the Chaoshou verandah, and saw carved galleries and painted buildings everywhere, grand and magnificent, really rich and noble.The maid who led the way was handsome, about 14 years old, very articulate, and kept talking all the way, from Cui's head and face to Yulan's clothes and Yuzhu's skin. Be cautious,

The banquet was held in the flower hall across the courtyard, and the little maid smiled and opened the bamboo curtain. Cui looked at the two people's make-up and clothes, and then led them in. Facing them were several black lacquer carved desks. There are six fragrant and sweet citrons on a three-color printed peony double dish long plate. In the middle is a huanghuali five-legged incense table with a pedestal. The small green pine and cypress bonsai and the extremely delicate green-glazed rosette porcelain lamp on the table also add a lot of color to the room.Yu Zhu lowered his head and went in, only feeling his feet go soft. It turned out that the room was covered with a thick ink orchid brocade carpet, so he had to carefully adjust his center of gravity so that his movements could be as light and beautiful as usual.

Turning inside, I heard laughter and voices became clearer, and I could vaguely distinguish the bright laughter of my grandmother.Suddenly Yuzhu felt something strange, looked sideways at Yulan beside her, saw that she was concentrating on the many exquisite and luxurious decorations in the Duobaoge of the house, and frowned involuntarily.

Mrs. Zheng was wearing a pair of dark red ruyi patterns embroidered with eight clusters of flowers. She was sitting on a large black sandalwood armchair with chiseled blessings and longevity patterns, and the round pier and even the surrounding arhat beds were full People, the ladies and ladies who came to visit from all the prefectures sat around her talking and laughing, and the sound of pearls and emerald warblers filled the room, dazzling people's eyes.The maids in blue-and-patterned bijia are holding teapots for refilling tea, and trays for serving melon seeds and snacks or changing dishes, and shuttle among the guests in a busy and orderly manner...

The three of them were noticed as soon as they entered the door, and Cui immediately took her two daughters to respectfully salute the old lady above, with a sincere smile on her face, and said: "Congratulations to the old lady, I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea , Subinanshan"

"Okay, okay, get up." Mrs. Zheng smiled all over her face, saying that there is no need to be too polite, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in so many years, why don't you hurry up and show me."

Cui stepped forward with a smile, and was held back by Mrs. Zheng, and looked at it carefully, with joy on her face: "Look at this little face, why is it still the same as it was ten years ago?" She Turning her head and talking to the smiling old lady Yang not far away, she said, "I don't think your daughter has changed. She looked like this when she went out 17 years ago, tsk tsk."

For a moment, everyone who was chatting and laughing looked at Cui Shi's face. They thought it was Mrs. Zheng's clever words, but they were stunned when they looked at it. There was only a thin layer of Cui Shi's face. You can clearly see that the face is extremely smooth and clean, without any fine lines that should be there at this age, and the complexion is good. It doesn't look like the rumored miscarriage at all. Fan in the crowd is a little uncomfortable. Although there are few fine lines, they account for the "mellow and plump" light.

Zheng's eyes turned, and she looked behind Cui: "There are two little girls in the back, are they your daughters?"

Mrs. Cui hurriedly asked Yulan and Yuzhu to kowtow, and they knelt down, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said in unison: "May the old lady prosper in the sky and prosper in life, and that the world will be full of blessings."

The old lady received the gift, and hurriedly asked the maid to present three small purses on a tray, which was regarded as a meeting gift. Yu Zhu took the purses and weighed them, secretly gasping, it was really generous, but she didn't know that there was something particular about giving purses, The main thing is to see who gives what kind of gift, otherwise so many relatives from far and near will rush over and the Hou Mansion will be lost.

After finishing the salute, seeing a new visitor at the door, Mrs. Cui took Yu Zhu and Yu Lan to the old lady Yang. Mrs. Yang pulled her to sit beside her, touched her hand worriedly, and asked Said: "How is your body? I heard that you had a miscarriage and you were in a hurry, but you happened to catch up with that little bitch's marriage again. Your father is not clear, so he wants me to do it. The fetal position of the old 2 family Unstable, this concubine of the fourth and seventh family wants to give birth to another concubine to miscarry, and quarrels with the first wife until the sky is dark, and finally they all beg me to come here...too much tossing and no time to spare..." Yang babbled regretfully As she listened, Cui felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "What does mother say these things for? I am eating the tonic you sent me very well, and it will get better sooner, thanks to my mother's help."

Yang Shi sighed, her eye circles were red: "You have been considerate and sensible since you were a child, and never caused me any trouble. I owe you a lot."

Yu Zhu's black line, this grandmother is too good at imagining things, but seeing her mother's happy smile, Yu Zhu was also silly for a while. Life in middle school is so nourishing and comfortable. Those aunts who were favored for a while back then were old and dead, and newcomers came in batch after batch. In the end, she had the last laugh. Yingyanyan turned away, and since Miss Eleven Wanyun got married, the old couple became more and more intimate.

This is also an attitude towards life. Looking at the smile lines in the corners of her grandmother's eyes, Yu Zhu silently thought, if she is unfortunate enough to get such a marriage in the future, she should learn from her grandmother, and being kind to herself is the most important thing.

Cui chatted with her mother for a while, and when she heard that Cui Anhong had followed her, she was even happier, and kept saying that she should take a good look at it later. When she was talking happily, Cui saw another group of people coming outside. Come to say hello, eyes flickered slightly, and greeted with a smile, and said hello to the dignified woman in the middle who was wearing the lotus-blue Six-Happiness Ruyi pattern gown: "Sister Shen's family has been gone for a long time, is she okay?" The person was Shen Shi, the wife of Lord Zou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and smiled after a while: "It turned out to be Sister Cui."

The two of them held hands like close friends in a boudoir and walked to the side to sit down. Mrs. Shen pulled the three girls beside her and introduced them to Mrs. Cui. Two of the concubines pulled out a relatively low-key hairpin from their heads and gave it to the remaining concubine. Yu Zhu keenly saw the satisfied look in Shen's eyes, and after a little thought in her heart, she knew that Shen Shi must be a mistress who attaches great importance to rules and concubines, so when Cui Shi introduced their sisters later, she looked solemn and saluted with the most rigid posture. Shen Shi liked it, and after getting Cui Shi's consent, Yu Zhu took the bracelet handed over by Shen Shi tremblingly, her little heart was thumping wildly, this red lychee bracelet is not ordinary at first glance, the bracelet is made of red gold strands That's all, it's not uncommon, the most rare thing is that it is carved with rubies to look like three juxtaposed lychees. It is a double pedicle, and it is full of blessings, nobility, joy and joy, which can be regarded as an extremely precious meeting gift.
