1. Early in the morning
The fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-fifth year of the Dayue Dynasty Yonghe was ugly.
The weather of this year's New Year is particularly strange, the first day of the first month is a sunny and good weather, the sun is warm on people, the Xue family has made thick New Year's clothes The maids can't wear these thick, originally standing in the sun is hot, if you do some more work, it will be even more sweaty, making people feel as if it is spring.
But on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it turned out to be a shocking change, and the north wind was making a big noise, but it was only a small half a day's effort, and it actually fell a continuous snowfall, and the entire Luoyang Shenjing was decorated with silver, very solemn, and the girls who were originally worried about the clothes that could not be worn can be worn these days.
On the fifth or sixth day of the new year, there was no sun for several days, it was gloomy and terrible, the weather was not sunny, the temperature was not high, and the continuous cold weather caused many people to get wind chill and lie down in bed to recuperate.
This year doesn't look like a peaceful year! The experienced old servant at the head of the family said that the wind and rain are good at the beginning of the year, which is the most important. This new year, there is constant wind, rain and snow, and the sun is fickle, which is not a good luck! I heard that Qintian monitored that there will be a vision of Saturn opposition, white rainbow through the sky this year, although this celestial phenomenon, now there are not many people who believe in this, but people more or less like to listen to auspicious words, these celestial phenomena are not good, originally the big guy is muttering, and now the first month of the year is such a strange weather, it is really a little unhappy.
However, these things have little to do with Ning Rong's second mansion now, the two mansions have been making a fuss for such a small half a year, and the garden has been built for almost a year, just to welcome the return of the concubine during the Lantern Festival, although it is ugly, it is about one or two o'clock in the morning, but the two mansions are brightly lit, and there is no way to see the appearance of saying that they want to be placed, if you take a bird's eye view from the air, you can see not only the main hall of Rongguo Mansion Rongxi Hall is brightly lit everywhere, the courtyard of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang is full of people coming and going, and there is an endless stream, Even here in Lixiangyuan, where Aunt Xue lives, no one is empty.
Because the maids who can be used in the family are sent out, there are only two little girls left around Aunt Xue, Aunt Xue probably just lay down and slept for half an hour, that is, she got up in a hurry, ate two mouthfuls of milk soup porridge, and drank a small half bowl of red dates and barley soup, closed her eyes slightly and raised her mind, and quickly dressed up, this woman's family has always been cumbersome, not to mention that today is the time to see the concubine, Aunt Xue is a foreign woman, and she has a six-grade Anren fate, and she is a serious wife. Naturally, it is necessary to prepare according to the makeup, the service system of the command, in addition to the official uniform that is similar to the outside officials, the pattern of the golden crown on the head is completely in accordance with their own minds, you can enjoy the golden hairpin, jade, pearl, phoenix, etc., naturally Aunt Xue will not do such a delicate dress, just chose a little green five phoenixes to wear the peony Chaoyang head, just ready to wear it, and feel inappropriate, although it is the world's luxury, the dragon and phoenix things are not strictly prohibited, but today is to see the virtuous concubine, if the dress is too arrogant, In the end, it was not good, so I deliberately chose a set of dotted cui heads for a happy reunion, which was called Yang Hua to wear it.
Halfway through here, Baochai came, today she is also dressed up with luxurious jewelry, gorgeous and incomprehensible, Aunt Xue rarely sees Baochai dressed like this, and said with a smile, "You really look good in this dress today!" My son, you should dress like this in all your days! ”
Baochai said with a smile, "I have cleaned up a lot of time today, if I dress up so carefully every day, I don't know how much time I have to waste, it is really trivial, if I don't want to meet my mother today, I don't want to be so troublesome." ”
"You, Su Ri is still dressed lightly, and the girls' families are not us half-old women, so it is naturally better to wear fresh and bright," Aunt Xue got up and asked Yang Hua to dress herself in the clothes of the fate, "If you wear it too simply, it will not be good for people outside to see it." By the way, what about your brother? Did you get up? ”
"I'm afraid it's not yet," Baochai said with a narrow smile, "I went around patrolling with Brother Zhen several times last night, but I'm afraid I'm already tired, and this time the girls are about to scream, but I don't want to get up yet." ”
"Your brother's errand of the Terracotta Division can just help Niangniang Niang's errand," Aunt Xue sighed, "He is a good official, and the people outside are very respectful when they see your brother, and the people from the Terracotta Division come to help maintain order, and I heard that Brother Zhen is there, and the matter has been reduced a lot." ”
Aunt Xue is almost cooking here, so she asked Baochai to urge Xue Pan, Baochai arrived in Xue Pan's yard, only to hear the thunderous snoring at the door, Baochai sneered, and said to Qingwen at the door, "How long has my brother been asleep?" Why is it so loud? ”
"I didn't lie down for half an hour," Qingwen said, "I came back last year and was covered in sweat, because I was going to see him today, so I had to take a bath first, and I came in to tell him something outside, and I fell asleep after midnight. ”
Baochai smiled, "I always know that your needlework is good, but now I want to take a look." ”
So Baochai entered Xue Pan's main house, and saw that one side had already lit a purple gold glass lamp, the indoor lights were bright, Qingwen asked Xue Baochai to take a closer look, needless to say, the official uniform needless to say, the stitches are fine, and very smooth, a new set is for today's preparation, and a set of dark purple orangutan felt is prepared, which is embroidered with a dark embroidery method with a longevity pattern that does not end to the end, and the skin of the fox is used on the side to get hairy, and the corners of the big horns on both sides are decorated with jade pearls and other gems as decorations, and the inside is lined with pale yellow satin. In order for Xue Pan to bring money, he can take money casually, and there are many hidden bags set up in it, so that Xue Pan can put things, Baochai looked at it carefully, and was full of praise, "This piece of Dayu is a lot of thought, it is indeed good, I look at the outside Even if it is the old lady's clothes, it is not as good as this one." ”
Qingwen raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "The old lady doesn't have me to make clothes now, so naturally she is not as good as the uncle's clothes." ”
