Chapter 4 Banquet
In the blink of an eye, June 12th arrived. Huang Wenqiu didn't even see a corner of his clothes when he came to the Song family to propose marriage.
Thirteenth is the day when Yan Mansion holds a banquet at the outer city of Huahezhuang.
The families of officials and families in Tanzhou City will arrive.
Chen hasn't attended a banquet for a long time, and it's like this one again, and he's busy before the evening can be reached.
Song Huiyue stretched out her hand stiffly, and her ten fingers were covered with phoenix flower mud.
Chen chose a silver-gray orchid-embroidered gauze shirt, gestured on Song Huiyue, and asked them to incense with satisfaction.
Aunt Lin and Aunt Wang reached out at the same time, and finally, Aunt Lin was even better. In his arms, Aunt Wang was out of nowhere and could only glar at Aunt Lin.
Chen ignored their lawsuit, continued to pick up his skirt, and said to Song Huiyue: "You can't be naughty after you go."
Song Huiyue's face was covered with balm, and her whole face became a thick wall, as if it would crack with a random movement.
She pouted her cherry mouth and said vaguely: "I have never been naughty, isn't it Qinghui?"
Song Qinghui sat under the porch outside, stretching out his ten fingers to dye his nails. He nodded after hearing this: "Yes."
Chen changed his skirt and said, "It's best if you are not naughty. Also, if you get there, if others don't speak nicely, don't be angry, if you can tolerate it, you can tolerate it."
Speaking of this, her heart was almost in her throat.
She knows the best of her daughter.
It's just looking soft.
Those who went to the banquet were all powerful women in the city. Those wives were always able to live up to their faces, but those little ladies were different. They were spoiled and dared to say anything.
She wanted to find a marriage for Song Huiyue that she could rely on for life, but she didn't want to be absent.
"Have you gone to mosquitoes with your ears? Have you heard it?"
Song Huiyue nodded with a smile.
After the clothes were ready, Chen led everyone back to rest, and Song Huiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She washed her face, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and told Yuan Yuan to order the incense outside, let her go to bed, and took a bamboo knife and sat on the slab to split the bamboo tube.
A tube of green bamboo is divided into pieces and yellow bamboo pieces, and then cut into green bamboo strips with clear blue white and uniform thickness.
Yinxiao jumped down from the roof, sat on the stone steps, and sorted out the green bamboo strips that Song Huiyue had cut.
"Madam, Huang Wenqiu has taken out all the tea in his hand and has also gone to find a matchmaker to go to the Luo family to propose marriage."
"He was afraid that I would make the kid's tricks and was in a hurry to settle down."
"He is ungrateful, I'll kill him and vent your anger."
Song Huiyue's men used clever skills to hear a crisp cracking sound from the bamboo tube: "It is easy to kill people, but what if you kill people? The government posted a sea captain document and arrested you from door to door, and you will have to die in the world, and everything is gone now."
Another bamboo tube was split under her hands.
Yin Xiao stopped saying a word, grabbed the bamboo piece irritated, and the bamboo thorn penetrated into his fingers without feeling the pain.
A peaceful life is hard-won and they all want to cherish it.
Without the ability to cover the sky with one hand, it would be so easy to kill someone.
Song Huiyue put down the bamboo knife and prepared to weave a small sieve to dry peppers for Aunt Wu in the kitchen.
"When I first came to Tanzhou, I was very impatient. I just learned bamboo craftsmanship and calm down. I think you should learn too. Don't shout and kill all day long. You can also weave a bamboo curtain for me to use another day."
"yes."
The next morning, Song Huiyue put on rouge lead powder, wore a silver-gray gauze shirt and a grass-green skirt. Chen also dressed up in a simple and generous manner. He rented three carriages and took Song Qinghui and Aunt Lin who were about to play to the Shepherd's Lotus Garden in the outer city together.
Although I went out early, the summer was hot and the morning light was like gold. The yellow shone on the streets of the roof and the carriage was also hot.
Chen was motion sickness and didn't dare to eat breakfast. He only used some tea. Now he was so hot that he couldn't vomit it out before Song Huiyue.
Song Huiyue fanned Chen on the side. As soon as the carriage stopped, she lifted her skirt and wanted to get off the carriage, but Chen stopped her: "Be gentle."
Soon Yuanyuan and Mama Liu got off the carriage behind, placed a horse stool, and lifted the curtains.
Only then did Chen let go of Song Huiyue.
Song Huiyue lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage, and carefully helped Chen down.
Chen hurriedly instructed Aunt Lin to take good care of Song Qinghui.
Today, the Yan family is in order to get along with people with good looks in Tanzhou City, and the people outside the garden are eager to take them in.
The garden was covered with gauze sheds, covering the sun, which was cool and bright. When they arrived early, the two maids led them to see the scenery and asked them to drink tea outside the main hall for a while.
Following them was Li, the daughter-in-law of Xie Chuan, the chief of the Jin Palace, and also a six-month-old son.
When Li saw Chen, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
In terms of identity, she didn't have to bring her children so early and followed her so closely. It can be seen that she was afraid that Chen would be embarrassed and came to help.
Xie Chuan's son Xie Zhou is a handsome man. Song Huiyue loved Xie Zhou when she was in her teens. Seeing that his son Yuxue was also cute, she secretly kissed him several times while the two of them were greeting each other.
Xiaoxiao Xie opened her teethless mouth, with saliva, and was urinating heavily at Song Huiyue's "Oh oh oh".
Chen accompanied him to clean his hands and told Song Huiyue to quietly enjoy the flowers before getting up and leaving.
Song Huiyue couldn't even think that it would be okay to be quiet. The girl who came later ran away when she saw her, and no one would pay any attention to her.
A golden carp jumped up from the water and bit the petals, which attracted everyone's surprise. When Song Huiyue was watching with relish, someone blocked her view.
The little lady who came here had willow-leaf eyebrows, slender eyes, apricot face and peach cheeks, wearing a pink gauze shirt, and a lotus-colored silk skirt. Although it was not very colored, it was also quite charming.
In addition to being moving, there are eight points of arrogance and nine points of shabbyness, from the inside out, all of which are extremely cold.
"You are Sister Huiyue, you didn't expect to see you here."
Song Huiyue looked her up and down, and knew it in her heart, but said, "What are you?"
"My surname is Luo, and my name is Huiniang," Luo Huiniang sat down opposite her. "Once I was drinking tea in the teahouse and I happened to be driving a horse out of the city, and my companion pointed it out to me and I recognized it."
After saying that, she looked at Yuanyuan standing behind Song Huiyue.
Song Huiyue nodded with a smile, turned around and said to Yuanyuan: "Go and see if there are any plums, get me two."
Yuan Yuan bowed and whispered: "Master, my wife said we should be careful in our words and actions."
"Damn," Song Huiyue had no choice but to poke her forehead with her index finger: "You are blocking my wind, sit there."
Yuanyuan moved away quickly.
Luo Huiniang smiled and said, "My sister is so smart, I didn't expect the maid to be so honest."
Song Huiyue nodded perfunctorily.
"Sister is watching the lotus?"
"yes."
