Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

The carriage from Mian Gong's mansion directly entered the side gate of the palace, where officials of the fourth rank and above, as well as their children, gathered!After the officials of the Ministry of Rites inspected their identities, they handed out the selection badges in the palace, and each of the noble girls to be selected passed through the side door with the support of the accompanying maids, and said goodbye to their parents. Go to the inner palace.

Mianli watched Mianxing's back go away through the side door, and saw the surrounding officials, some happy, some depressed, with various expressions.

When Mianli turned around and got on the horse, and saw an old man who staggered into his carriage, Mianli was a little stunned. Isn’t that the old Duke Zhong! Thinking about the matter of going to court again, and the old Duke Zhong’s thoughts, Mianli Guess out seven seven eight eight.

Mianli sighed slightly in her heart: "My Mian family has no heart to choose a queen!"

Dayue calendar, the third day of August in the second year of Emperor Han, heavy rain began to fall in the capital!Mianli accompanied Buqi in the Xianglu Pavilion of Miangong Mansion and teased the little bun Mian Zimin. The little bun looked a little longer and had a chubby face. She was placed on the bed and lay down. He kept waving his little hands and feet.

Bu Qi was adorning her makeup on the side, and looked back at the mother and daughter over there from time to time.

Bu Qi asked softly: "Uncle is hosting a banquet for us, and you change into your clothes too, let's go there!"

After listening to Buqi's words, Mianli sighed slightly. She had avoided many banquet invitations, but it was really unreasonable if the in-laws could not pass the banquet.

"Then you prepare a robe for me, I'll go take a shower first!" After speaking, she held the happy little bun in her arms, handed the little bun to the nanny, and walked out of the main room to the side bathroom.It is said to be the bathroom, there is a big bath there, which was built by the eldest princess for Miangong mansion according to the Mian mansion in Suilin village. From this point of view, the eldest princess is very concerned about Mianli's affairs, no matter the interests, sisters Whether it's friendship, Mianli doesn't want to figure it out, it's rare to be confused in life.

The cold water poured down from the head, and Mianli was a little worried about Mianxing. There had been no letter for three days, and she didn't know whether she would be bullied, whether she could adapt to the rules in the palace, thinking like this Another basin of water in the cotton bag went down.In fact, Mianli knew very well that the reason why Mian Xing was allowed to enter the palace was because of the emperor's heart on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was not a blessing to him.It's just that Mianli doesn't like Jia En like this.

Clean yourself up and put on new robes, because you are going to a banquet, or your in-laws, so Mianli changed into regular clothes instead of official clothes.In this way, Mianli took Buqi to Pingjihou's mansion for a banquet.Pingjihou Liu Sheng is Buqi's uncle, and the young master who was beaten up by Mianli before is Buqi's cousin, Pingjihou Liu Sheng's eldest son Liu Wenju!Mianli turned her head to look at Buqi, thinking of Buqi's little problem, Mianli felt a little worried.

"Qi'er, I'm not feeling well." Looking at Bu Qi who had been silent since getting into the carriage, Mianli asked softly while holding her hand.

Bu Qi shook her head, her smile was a little weak: "Every time I go to Hou's Mansion, I feel uneasy and always afraid of something."

Mianli shook Buqi's hand and smiled reassuringly: "With me here, don't be afraid!"

Buqi leaned lightly on Mianli's shoulder and nodded.

Pingjihou Mansion, today's banquet is very lively.As the Marquis of Pingji’s mansion, which inherited from his father’s generation, he was more than able to guard the city, but not aggressive enough. In fact, it has gradually declined among the nobles. The economy of their Marquis Mansion was even a little bit beyond their means a long time ago, but relying on the former Marquis The master's wisdom, and the married daughter's supplement, forcibly kept the luxury of the Hou's mansion.

Mianli got out of the carriage and gently helped Buqi down.Seeing that Buqi looked at the plaque in the Hou Mansion in a daze, and Mianli shook Buqi's hand, Buqi turned her head and smiled at Mianli. There was emotion, relief, and a little in that smile. Unknown emotions.

Xiaolu got off his horse and ran a few steps, and handed over the gift list before Mianli and Buqi. After the housekeeper of Pingjihou's Mansion saw it, he sang loudly to the inside: "Miss Bu's Cousin returns to the mansion."

The smile on Mianli's face froze when she heard this, the Pingjihou's mansion is so arrogant.

Bu Qi was also taken aback. What Xiaolu handed over was the gift list from Mian Gong's mansion, but the housekeeper didn't call the name, but instead pointed out that she would go back to the mansion. What's the meaning of this?Faintly, Bu Qi felt that the Hou Mansion had bad intentions this time.

Neili Liu Wenju heard Bu Qi coming, and happily walked to the gate of the mansion. He looked at Bu Qi who was wearing a woman's hair bun, her figure was even more charming, and there was no bad change at all because of her marriage. , on the contrary, it became more attractive and added a bit of beauty.

"Good sister, are you back?" Liu Wenju asked lightly.

Bu Qi frowned: "Hello, cousin." After saying Fuli, she stood beside Mianli.

"My younger sister has always liked flowers. Today, someone got a rare flower from Nanchong. I'll show my younger sister." As he spoke, Liu Wenju stretched out his right hand to grab Bu Qi's sleeve.Mianli's clothes shook, and Liu Wenju's right hand was swung away.

Mianli stood in front of Buqi, staring at Liu Wenju with cold eyes, and Liu Wenju looked up to see the appearance of the visitor. Mianli was gloomy that day, but Mianli himself was so clear and handsome that ordinary people Seeing it is unforgettable, let alone Liu Wenju who was severely punished by Mianli.

Liu Wenju trembled: "It's you!"

Mianli smiled at Liu Wenju: "So you are Qi'er's cousin! Nice to meet, nice to meet, let's compete again when we have time." Hearing what Mianli said, Liu Wenju took three steps back, but he was afraid of being seen Out of embarrassment, he quickly called his servants over and ordered to take Miss Biao and Uncle Biao to the Huating in the outer courtyard where the banquet was held.

Bu Qi glanced at Mianli with some doubts, and asked, "How do you know cousin?"

Mianli shrugged his shoulders, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "I didn't know him before, so I don't know him! I didn't expect him to be your cousin. Let's go, let's go to the banquet, I'm a little hungry."

After hearing Mianli's words, Buqi had no choice but to give up asking, and the two followed the servants into the Huating, only to see that half of the seats in the Huating were already filled with people.

The servant didn't know Mianli's official position, so he took Buqi and his party directly to the outer circle of the banquet according to his previous status as a cousin. There is a fruit tree, full of fruit fragrance.Mianli reached out and picked two fruits, wiped them with a handkerchief, and ate them. The fruits were very plump and juicy, and tasted very sweet.

"Qi'er, you eat!" After Mianli finished speaking, she put another fruit into Bu Qi's mouth. Bu Qi looked around shyly, and after taking two bites, she quickly ate it.

Seeing that Mianli was still picking fruit, Buqi quickly pulled Mianli's sleeves a few times and let Mianli sit on the mat with her.

"Why are you so rude?" Buqi wiped the corner of her mouth.

Mianli took a bite of the pastry on the banquet table. Although it was not as delicious as the one made in his house, it was still good for hungry people: "What's the matter? Eat it when you are hungry! Besides, the fruit is very good It would be a pity not to pick it off and eat it.”

As soon as Mianli finished speaking, there were several bursts of laughter from the side, and a 20-year-old woman with gorgeous makeup and heavy makeup walked up to Bu Qi and the two: "Who did I think was so rude? It turned out to be Qi'er." !"

Bu Qi looked at her daughter, restrained her face and gave a blessing: "Big cousin is well!"

Liu Qin looked at Bu Qi's little face that made her jealous, and felt very happy at this moment.

She walked up to Bu Qi and glanced at Mianli: "Hey, sister, this is your wife and head! I heard that she is the daughter of the owner of the cloth dyeing workshop under your Bu family?"

Liu Qin didn't lower her voice at all because of Mianli's face-to-face, and even raised the volume of the last sentence.

"Life in the cloth dyeing workshop is very hard, right? It's hard for my sister!" Liu Qin seemed to be really worried about Bu Qi and patted her hand.

Mianli looked at Liu Qin's upper body with great interest, and kept slapping Buqi in the face. Mianli just thought it was funny, but Buqi just felt embarrassed.

The little sisters around all gathered around Bu Qi, and you told me that Bu Qi was pitiful, Liu Qin looked at the fruit tree and said to Bu Qi: "Later, I begged Father to give the fruit in the yard to you. You take some back!"

On the contrary, there was a little sister who was a little weak, took Bu Qi's hand, and gently handed over a bank note under the cover of her sleeve, she smiled embarrassedly: "My family is not in power, so I can't help my sister much. "

As soon as she finished speaking, a man with an ugly face came over and pulled her away: "What are you talking to her, go make friends with the ladies of the Duke's Mansion..."

Mianli, who has great mental strength, can see all these small movements clearly. Mianli looks at her clothes and Buqi's clothes, and she is somewhat clear!It turns out that both of them don't like extravagance, they both wear cotton blue shirts, it's just that Buqi changed to a more festive color because of going to the banquet, is this the reason why they were underestimated?Mianli laughed silently twice, it really was Vanity Fair.

Bu Qi held the bank note awkwardly, she didn't expect such a move, and before she could thank her, she was dragged away by her husband-in-law.

Coincidentally, Liu Qin took Bu Qi's hand holding the bank note, and suddenly the bank note floated out and presented to everyone.

Liu Qin picked it up with her body, and shook her hand: "Oh, this is what Xiuer just gave you! Xiuer's life is not easy, and she thinks about her sister. She is really lucky. My sister is giving it to you. You add some more! This 50 taels will last for a few days." While talking, Liu Qin took out 100 taels of banknotes and folded them up to Bu Qi, and the others also took out one when they saw it. , I saw a small stack of bank notes appearing in Buqi's hand.

Buqi refused with some discomfort, while Mianli stopped Buqi like a villain who was blind to money: "It's all the kindness of all sisters and sisters, take it, you must take it, I thank you all sisters and sisters. "

Those little sisters looked at Mianli with red lips and white teeth with disdain, and then they whispered: "It's really white with a skin."

And Xiu'er's husband over there slapped Xiu'er across the face. . .
