concubines are respected

Chapter 53 Rewards
In the main hall, warblers were singing and laughing. It seemed that everyone was in a very good mood.

Because of the scald scars on the face of the eldest lady, she was wearing a lavender silk gauze to cover it up, and she was sitting on the main seat in a dignified manner.Seeing Suxian entering, there was an uncharacteristically loving look in his eyebrows and eyes, and he took the initiative to greet, "Xian'er is here."

"Xian'er pays respects to mother." Suxian took a step forward, respectfully greeted her, and then turned to the third aunt beside her and asked, "Third aunt is well."

The third aunt didn't say anything, she just waved her hand casually as a response, and then quickly turned her eyes to Lin Yinglu, who was gathering around the red sandalwood round table in the hall with her sisters, picking out accessories, and said softly, "Luer, That South Sea bead chain looks good to me, try it on."

Lin Yinglu picked up the bead chain and held it in her hand for less play, then put it back into the jewelry box intact, "The color of the bead is soft and delicate, but Auntie doesn't think the bead is a bit small. A little petty."

"Hehe, Luer doesn't like it, so choose something else. Da Furen called you sisters here today to let you choose what you like." Seeing that Lin Yinglu was not satisfied with her suggestion, Third Aunt didn't care, Said with a smile.

The third aunt, mother and daughter talked, but left Suxian aside.

"Okay, all the people are here. Let's sit back and sit down for the time being. Let's choose one by one according to the old rules." The eldest lady spoke, and Lin Zhilan and others around the table, blessed themselves, went back to sit on the side seats settle down.

"Mother Hu, present the clothes made in the weaving room." Although the Da Furen's face was covered with silk gauze, it was not difficult to hear from her tone that she had returned to her usual calm and calm demeanor.

Madam Hu immediately presented the tray on the side table to the eldest lady respectfully, and said respectfully, "Back to the eldest lady, the weavers will follow the orders of the eldest lady and sew the butterfly clothes with colorful beads according to the size of the young ladies. When it's over, please take a look, Madam."

The eldest lady signaled with her eyes, and the maids Xi Lian and Bai He, who were serving closely, immediately stepped forward, took out a butterfly dress with colorful beads from the tray, and displayed it in front of everyone.

The name of this garment is Caizhu Dieyi, which is still named after the colorful butterflies embroidered with beads of various colors on the garment.

The fabric of the clothes is made of high-quality silk, which is light, soft and delicate. Under the light, the silk of the clothes shimmers in silver, which is very eye-catching.The most amazing thing is not the fabric itself, but the colorful butterflies embroidered on the fabric.

The colorful butterflies are carefully embroidered with several small colorful beads, which are scattered on the clothes in an orderly manner. The ingenious embroidery skills of the weavers make the colorful butterflies come to life, as if smelling the fragrance and temporarily staying on the clothes.

The clothes moved slightly in the wind, and colorful butterflies fluttered up and down with the sleeves of the clothes, dancing lightly. The silver on the silk clothes flashed and matched with countless colorful beads and beautiful butterflies. It was a beautiful and exquisite scene of dancing butterflies. .

It is conceivable that the girls of the Lin Mansion would walk in the garden to enjoy the flowers in this dress, and the scene of flowers dancing and butterflies flying would be so gorgeous and dazzing.

As soon as the clothes were unfolded, everyone in the hall immediately gave out admiration, even Xi Lian, who was holding the clothes on display, was full of envy, and couldn't help but whispered, "It's so beautiful, this dress is better than the old lady in the capital." The gifted brocade clothes are even more beautiful."

"Stop talking nonsense, how dare this clothes be compared with the ones given by the old matriarch." Although the eldest lady said so, her eyes were full of smiles, which shows that she agrees with Xi Lian's statement from the bottom of her heart.

"Four sets were sewn in the weaving room, in four colors: light orange, light blue, light yellow, and light pink. Although the colors are slightly different, the workmanship, texture and materials are the same. Mama Hu, please take care of them." Choose according to the rules. On the day of the banquet, all the ladies from the noble family in Kangzhou City will be invited to come, our girls from the Lin Mansion must not lose to others."

The eldest lady looked at her carefully designed beautiful clothes, and nodded with great satisfaction.

At this time, Xilian and Baihe had neatly folded the unfolded butterfly clothes on the tray, and Mother Hu respectfully sent the tray to Lin Zhilan.Among the sisters, Lin Zhilan is the eldest, she should be the first to pick, naturally it has been a rule in the house for many years.

Lin Zhilan raised her hand to gently caress over the butterfly clothes, her eyes stopped on the more colorful orange butterfly clothes, and said with a smile, "Let's just take this one."

"Missy has good eyesight. Missy is beautiful and fair-skinned. Wearing this dress, her skin looks like fat, clear and translucent."

Hu's mother said flatteringly, after Liu Qing took away the orange clothes, she turned around and walked to Lin Zhilan's right.

Lin Zhilan was next to Lin Yinglu on the right, and Lin Suxian and Lin Ruxue were sitting on Lin Yinglu's right. The four sisters were sitting next to each other with a small pear wood carving.

Mother Hu had just walked in front of Lin Yinglu, before she could speak, Lin Yinglu stood up with a charming smile, pointed at the pink butterfly clothes with her green fingers, and told Yu'er behind her, "I choose pink."

After receiving the order, Yu'er immediately stepped forward, and was about to take the pink dress from Mama Hu's tray, but Mama Hu took a step back and whispered to Lin Yinglu, "Miss San is not in a hurry, according to the rules, I have to ask Miss Er You can only choose after you have chosen."

After she finished speaking, Mother Hu had already carried on the Dieyi garment, and stopped when she reached Suxian's side, and said respectfully, "Second Miss, please choose."

"This." Suxian raised her head and glanced at Lin Yinglu, only to see that her complexion was flushed, her white teeth were biting her red lower lip tightly, and her eyes were full of resentment staring at herself.Look at that appearance, if not in front of everyone, I am afraid that he would have rushed forward and started fisting.

"This. It's better to let the three girls choose. I'm not in a hurry, Mama Hu." Suxian said with a polite smile before standing up.

"How can this be done, the rules must not be messed up. Xian'er, you are now the daughter of my Lin family, so you should naturally choose first." The eldest lady spoke lightly, with a hidden smile in her eyes, no coldness towards Suxian in the past. The opposite look.

As soon as the eldest lady said this, the hatred on Lin Yingluqiao's face became more intense, she sat back angrily, and twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand heavily, secretly venting her hatred.

Suxian no longer shirked, and said to Yanzi, "Since the third sister likes pink clothes, I'll take the blue one. It's refreshing and looks good."

"Yes." Yanzi pursed her lips slightly, stepped forward to take the light blue shirt from the tray, held it in her arms, and retreated behind Suxian.

"Third Miss, please." Hu's mother retreated to Lin Yinglu's side and presented the tray up.

It is no wonder that Lin Yinglu is so unwilling.Over the years, when choosing accessories in the mansion, Lin Zhilan was not the first, and Lin Yinglu was second. As for when Suxian mentioned her choice, even if she had a share, it was a gift, so there was no reason for her to choose.

Today, the eldest lady let Suxian choose. Although she won the position of daughter-in-law, the dissatisfaction with her in the eldest lady's heart is well known in the mansion. After Xi'er's incident, not only the servants in the mansion People look at Suxian with admiration, even the eldest lady treats her kindly, but now in front of all the servants in the hall, she let herself be humiliated, how can Lin Yinglu swallow it.

"Hmph!" Lin Yinglu turned her head to one side, she didn't even look at the clothes in Mother Hu's hand, her face was full of grievances.

Hu's mother froze for a moment, turned her head and glanced at the eldest lady for help.

As if she hadn't heard of it, the eldest lady picked up the teacup next to her and picked up the lid, gently swaying the green tea soup, and said to the third aunt with a smile, "Qiaojuan, today's tea comes from the Mingxiangtang in the capital. Refreshing and sweet to relieve summer heat, you can enjoy it if you try it.”

The third aunt responded with a sneer, picked up the tea cup and took a sip absent-mindedly, her eyes still stayed on Lin Yinglu, seeing that she was still playing with the eldest lady's temper, worried that she would go too far and angered the eldest lady, she quickly turned to the person next to her The maid Xia He winked.

Xia He understood, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile on her face, "Miss San has a very good eye, and the pink dress she just picked is indeed charming. Yu'er quickly took it for your master."

Hearing this, Yu'er immediately stepped forward and picked up the powder coat from the tray.

At this moment, Lin Yinglu turned her head abruptly, and yelled at Xia He, "Presumptuous, when is it your turn to decide here? Who said that if I want pink clothes, others will choose the rest, so you have to give it to me?"

Xia He is the powerful maid next to the third aunt. At this moment, being scolded by Lin Yinglu in front of everyone's eyes, she couldn't get down the steps immediately. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she said quickly, "Third miss, calm down, you are a slave girl!" Made a mistake."

As the saying goes, "It depends on the owner to beat a dog." When Lin Yinglu scolded Xia He like this, the third aunt's face flashed with concern, and she thought to herself, this girl really let her get used to it, and now she doesn't even have the face of her own mother. gave.

Seeing this, the eldest lady was not as displeased as San Yiniang was, she lightly put down the teacup in her hand, and said to Lin Yinglu loudly, "Since Lu'er doesn't like pink clothes, it's not bad for her mother to look at yellow, which one do you choose?" That's right."

Although her voice was soft and soft, her tone was extremely firm. Lin Yinglu was not an idiot, even though she was unwilling in her heart, she did not dare to offend the eldest lady, so she stood up and said politely, "Lu'er, thank mother for the reward."

That pink dress was naturally given to Lin Ruxue who was always indisputable.

After distributing the clothes, the eldest lady still asked the four sisters to choose the ornaments in the jewelry box one by one according to the rules. According to the age of the concubines, Lin Suxian naturally lined up in front of Lin Yinglu. After the eldest lady thanked her, she returned to her seat respectfully.

"The annual flower viewing event in Kangzhou City is not only set up for flower viewing, but also our daughter's festival in Kangzhou City. At that time, all the girls in the city who have not left the cabinet will attend in costumes. My Linfu is the center of Kangzhou City. Big family, of course you must not lose your courtesy. Besides, there are distinguished guests from the capital visiting the mansion this year, so you have to be more cautious, and you must not make any mistakes and let others take the blame. Can you write it down?"

The eldest lady spoke seriously, it seemed that the eldest lady attached great importance to this banquet.

"Daughter made it down." All the sisters responded in unison, and got Da Furen's consent, and retreated obediently.

Stepping out of the main hall, Yanzi smiled lightly and said to Suxian, "Second miss, this bead chain slave looks better the more it looks, the particles are even and shiny, and it matches your clothes just now. Just now the third miss thought it was too stingy, This servant thinks it's because she has no vision."

Suxian turned around and whispered to Yanzi, "Shhh, be careful with your words..."

Before the words fell, Lin Yinglu heard clearly. She quickly caught up with Suxian and said angrily, "Second sister is really different now, and even the servants around her have become open-mouthed. Although you are now She is a concubine, but your mother's background is a fact that cannot be changed. It's better not to be too complacent."

Suxian didn't intend to cause trouble at first, but Lin Yinglu pressed her every step of the way, and she couldn't help but let her feel angry, and said in a cold voice, "Third sister really has to be careful when speaking. Although my mother passed away, my father has already written to the official media. It is placed on Ping Wife. Today, in the ancestral hall of Lin Zhai, the mother's longevity tablet is also enshrined. If you want to talk about the rules, you have to follow her as a mother. If grandma listens to it, you won't be afraid of being punished for lying?!"

After speaking, Suxian ignored Lin Yinglu, turned around and walked towards Yixiang Pavilion with a cold back.

Lin Yinglu wanted to show her prestige, but she accidentally touched the ashes on the nose, and she was stunned on the spot. After a while, she just woke up, her eyes were full of resentment, looking at the direction Suxian left, gnashing her teeth and hating Said, "Hmph! Just wait and see, I won't let you go!"
