Datang beauty walk

On the seventh day, Danniang got up early and had breakfast before leaving the house.Walk out of Changshunli, come to the street, hire a bullock cart and ride on it.The bullock cart drove her through the streets and alleys, and arrived at Xirong's house just after noon.

At that time, Xi Rong was taking a nap, when she heard talking and laughing outside, she woke up, got off the couch, and asked:

"Is Tanniang here?"

Lianyu came in from the outer room and said:

"Already here, rest outside."

Xi Rong put on her coat briskly, went to the outside room and shouted:

"Tannie!"

Dan Niang went up to meet her and said:

"Sister Xirong, are you awake?"

"Why didn't you wake me up when you came? When did you come?" She shook Tanniang's hand and sat down with her on the soft couch beside her.

"I just came here too, I didn't expect to wake you up as soon as I came!"

"Where are you talking! Have you had lunch yet?"

"Before I came, I had breakfast at home."

"You should be hungry by now after eating so early. Lianxiang, go and heat up the reserved meal for Tanniang."

Not long after, Lianxiang brought from the kitchen the meals that Tanniang had left early - a plate of sweet and fragrant fried lotus root slices, a plate of shredded chicken and bean pods, and a bowl of fish-flavored noodles. Braised tofu was added to the noodle soup piece.These meals are simple and exquisite, and are carefully prepared by Yi Danniang.

Xirong urged Danniang to move the chopsticks quickly, but Danniang gave way before picking up the chopsticks and eating.And Xirong was on the side, accompanying Tanniang who was eating.

After dinner, Xirong and Tanniang went to the garden to look at the flowers.After returning from the garden, the servant girl put on new tea and brought two plates of snacks. While drinking tea, the two chatted about their parents.After a while, Lianyu came in and said:

"Go back to my wife, the bath soup is ready."

Leaning against Xi Rong who was sitting on the couch, she straightened her body and said:

"Understood, I'll go over now. Danniang, have you cleaned yourself up yet?"

"I washed it last night," Tanniang replied.

"I've been unwell for the past two days, and it's been postponed until today. You sit with the girls for a while, and I'll come over after washing."

"Go and wash." Danniang stood up and watched Xirong go out.

During the meal time, Xirong came over after taking a bath and changed into new clothes.Entering the door, I saw a few maids surrounding Danniang asking this and that, Danniang was overwhelmed by the questions, and also saw the two women in the family gathered there after finishing their work.

It turned out that it was Lianxiang and the others who took their own embroidery and clothes and asked Tanniang about their skills—one asked her how to embroider the feathers of the pair of mandarin ducks; the other asked her how to change the skirt of the clothes; the other asked her again , how to choose the color of the silk thread; and the little Lianxin next to her, who still hasn't said a word, she is so anxious that she just wants to stomp her feet.

After Xi Rong came in, she sat lazily on the couch on the other side.A burst of subtle fragrance, along with the breeze that entered the curtain, penetrated into Danniang's nostrils. Tanniang turned her head to look, and saw Xirong's fair and tender skin, showing a faint blush after a hot bath.

"You girls, every time Dan Niang comes, you seize the opportunity to beg for her skills. How can her skills be taught for nothing?" Xi Rong said with a smile.

"It's a pity that the girl is not with us every day. If we could see the girl every day, would our hands still be so clumsy?" Lianyu said.

Xi Rong looked at them and said:

"Seeing that you worship God every year, with such sincerity, you haven't seen much improvement in your work. In my opinion, if you don't worship God this year, just worship Danniang more, and you will become skillful in no time. "

Danniang walked over to the side where Xirong was sitting on the couch, and said:

"My sister's words are wrong. My little sister often hears people say that the clothes are perfect. The so-called seamless clothes are the untraceable weaving skills of Goddess Zhizhi. We mortals can't reach that level.

What's more, her magical skills of creating colorful clouds and weaving red clouds are beyond the imagination of us mundane people?

The younger sister only knows superficially about female celebrities, how can she be compared with the Weaving Goddess?Sister, you accidentally said the wrong thing, when you worship God at night, you have to pray more, don't let Goddess Weaver blame you! "

Seeing that Danniang was so serious about her joke just now, Xi Rong thought that when Danniang was also stubborn, she wanted to tease her more and said:

"My younger sister can't compare with Goddess Weaving, but compared with us, your craftsmanship is already exquisite. In this radius of a hundred miles, there are not many who can surpass my younger sister? After a while, wait for everyone to pay their respects. Goddess Weaving, I will pay homage to you one more time, and I will understand the etiquette, otherwise..."

"Sister, you're joking again!" Danniang deliberately joked to Xirong, a little helpless.

"My lady's words are right. We, it's too shameful to ask a girl like this. If you want to ask a girl, you have to show some sincerity!" said a woman next to her.

"I'm going to get Qiaoguo!" After hearing this, Lianxin hurriedly ran away.

"Ah, this girl is so agile!" Another round-faced woman who often worked in the outer courtyard said.

Soon, Lianxin brought a plate of various snacks from the outside, and said:

"Dan Niang, this is a skillful fruit I made, try it!"

"The Qiaoguo you made still needs to be dedicated to God, how can you give it to me?" Dan Niang laughed.

"Don't worry, worship God's Qiaoguo, I've already prepared it, and I'll keep it for myself."

"The Qiaoguo you made looks so pretty. But I've eaten a lot of pastries, and now I can't eat any more."

"It's okay, you can keep it for tomorrow." Lianxin said enthusiastically, and put Qiaoguo on Tanniang's side.

"Girl, this is the rouge I bought from the market. It is my heart to give it to you." Lianyu came over and said.

Afterwards, Lianxiang and others also brought their presents and gave them to Danniang.Danniang declined left and right, but her good intentions were hard to get rid of, so she could only say to Xirong:

"Sister, why do you embarrass them?"

"Sister, just accept it, don't worry about them, they have a lot of things!" Xi Rong said with a smile.

"That's right, you don't know, my lady gave us a lot of treasures this morning." Lian Xin hurriedly said.

"Girl, don't be strangers, just accept it!" said the woman who was working in the kitchen.

Danniang had no choice but to take it from her heart and express her thanks to everyone.After all the presents were delivered, they gathered around Tanniang again, and continued to ask the female red skills.Now everyone is more active together and speaks more vigorously.Danniang was tireless in teaching them, explaining and teaching them one by one.

Everyone sat around and compared embroidery with each other, leaving Xi Rong aside.Xi Rong looked at them with a smile on her face, listening to their conversation with interest.

As night fell, the maids began to get busy, going in and out, some carrying incense burners to the courtyard outside, and some laying mats in the courtyard.Lianxiang called two male servants over here, told them to wait for the table to be set up in the front yard, and then told them to leave.Xiao Lianxin joyfully brought many flowers to display.

Xi Rong waited for them to prepare for a while, walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and asked:

"Lianyu, are you all ready?"

"It's already ready, are we going to start now?" Lianyu who was outside replied.

"Okay. Tanniang, let's go out!"

Danniang followed Xirong to the open space in the courtyard, under the moonlight and the light, she saw a tall table had already been placed in the middle of the courtyard, and two long red candles were burning on the tall candlesticks.
