Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Suyun agreed, and immediately asked someone to go to the ear room to bring out several boxes for clothes. He unpacked and picked out some good-colored clothes, four sets of big wool, four sets of small wool, and a gorilla felt cloak, and wrapped another 50 Two pieces of silver and a few pieces of hairpin and ring jewellery, after tidying up, I looked at Li Wan and said, "How does grandma look?"

Li Wan glanced at it briefly, thought for a while and said, "Wrap the silver mouse jacket with rose purple crepe cover and the cloak with silver fox fur with scarlet dormitory cover together. I gave the cloak in the skin of Tianma to Sister Qin, and picked out some jewelry, and asked someone to deliver it later."

Suyun went to cook as she said.

Li Wan picked out some more clothes and two sets of red gold heads, and sent them to sisters Li Wen and Li Qi.

After Suyun packed up this room, Li Wan asked Biyue to send Baoqin's share to Jia's mother. Suyun also asked two women to carry two big burdens, and walked behind by herself. Purple Lingzhou.

At that time, Yingchun was talking with Xing Xiuyan, when she saw Suyun coming, she hurriedly gave up her seat with a smile, and asked the little girl to pour tea, and said with a smile: "Sister, what's the matter here?"

Suyun thanked the seat, and said hello again, Fang smiled and said: "Just now when grandma packed the box, you might as well dig out some clothes. The colors are bright and the materials are good. They are all things she has never worn. Our grandma said that she wears them anyway. No, it's a pity to keep it for nothing, so I asked me to pack up a few clothes and send them to Miss Xing, and there are also a few little things for the girl to keep, and you can give them away or reward them in the future."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the following woman to deliver the burden.

When Xing Xiuyan saw it, she blushed and hurriedly declined, saying: "What is this? I dare not accept the clothes if my sister-in-law has to pay for it. Sister, please send it back for me! Let me say that I appreciate it. Thank you, sister-in-law." For the kindness, I cannot thank you enough.”

Suyun said with a smile: "Girl, you don't need to talk heresy. It's just a few clothes, and it's not a good thing. If you don't like it, just accept it. Besides, it's not only Miss, Miss Qin also has it."

Xing Xiuyan was in a dilemma for a while, Yingchun smiled and said: "Since the elder sister-in-law gave it to you, you can accept it. Our sister also got a lot of hairpins and rings earlier. This is her wish, and my sister should not lie. "

Xing Xiuyan heard this, thought about it, and had to accept it, blushing and said to Suyun: "Sister, please go back and thank sister-in-law for me."

Suyun smiled and agreed, took another two sips of tea, sat down for a while and went back.

When Xing Xiuyan returned to the room, the mother-in-law took two packs

Putting the clothes on the table, she left. The little girl Zuan'er stepped forward to open the bag, and took off the gorilla felt cloak on top, and saw a slap on the silver-red and gold-woven silver rat jacket underneath. A big brocade box and a big bulging purse.

Zuan'er was taken aback, opened it and looked, and couldn't help being surprised, and quickly called Xiuyan: "Girl, come and see!"

Xiuyan stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help being startled, it turned out that in the brocade box were a pair of red gold silk bracelets inlaid with beads, two malachite rings, and two gold inlaid jade hairpins, but in the purse was a bag full of loose Broken silver.

Xing's family was poor, and Zhuan'er had never seen so many gold and silver jewelry, so he couldn't help but click his tongue and said, "This grandma is too generous." , why didn't you say it clearly?"

Xing Xiuyan sighed slightly, and said: "My sister-in-law is kind-hearted, she obviously helped us, but she didn't want us to lose face in front of everyone."

The maidservants in the Rong Mansion have always had two decent eyes and a rich heart. Although Xing Xiuyan has only been here for two days, she already has a deep understanding. She is not ashamed of being poor, but she is a little uncomfortable in the Rong Mansion. Li Wan's move was like sending charcoal in the middle of the snow, but she acted so thoughtfully and properly, Xiuyan felt more and more grateful.

Zhuan'er was also very happy in his heart, nodded and said: "Grandma is really a person with a bodhisattva heart."

Xing Xiuyan pondered for a long time, told Zhuan'er to put away the things for the time being, and turned to Yingchun's room. After Siqi and others retreated, Xiang Yingchun explained the reason, and said hesitantly: "Sister, sister-in-law's kindness, I just don't understand it." Accepting it is really inappropriate."

After hearing this, Yingchun didn't find it strange at all, sighed in her heart that Li Wan was considerate and kind, and smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, she has always been like this, she doesn't show it on the surface, but in fact she is the most helpful, and she treats people very well. You have received a lot of benefits from her, since she gave it to you, you accept it, she intended to give it to you, but if you treat it politely, it will appear to be a bit of an idiot."

Xing Xiuyan sighed after hearing this: "Even so, I feel uneasy in my heart."

Yingchun heard the words and said with a smile: "I heard that my sister's female celebrity is very good. It just so happens that the eighth day of next month is my sister-in-law's birthday. If you are sorry, why not prepare a few needles and threads carefully, my sister-in-law will be very happy."

Xing Xiuyan was delighted when she heard this, and immediately asked Li Wan's preferences, she had already made up her mind about the pattern and color, and went back to her room to find the only good material for the bottom of the box, and began to embroider it carefully.

The next morning, when Li Wan got up early, he saw a silvery white outside, the snow on the ground would be a foot thick, and the sky was still rubbing

Fluff in general.

Li Wan cleaned up and had breakfast. Fang was wrapped in a big cloak and a snow cap, and went out with the little girl Wutong.

At this time, the sky and the earth are all white, and when you look around, there is no difference. The snow on the green pines and green bamboos has covered the branches. Walking along the foot of the mountain, as soon as you walk to the hillside of Changcui nunnery, you can smell a cold fragrance. .Li Wan looked back and saw a dozen branches of red plums, like rouge, reflecting the color of the snow, which looked very energetic, so interesting.

Li Wan stood upright, enjoyed it carefully, and then left.

First go to the upper room to greet Jiamu. Daiyu and Baoqin have had breakfast. Not long after, Baochai Yingchun and others also arrived one after another.

When we arrived at Luxue'an, the maids and women had already packed up. Li Wan wrote a question to limit the rhyme. After listening to it for a while, they couldn't see Xiangyun Baoyu, so they asked where they had gone.

Tanchun was about to send someone to look for it, when he saw Aunt Li also came to see the fun, and smiled at everyone: "How come the brother with the jade and the sister with the golden unicorn are so clean and beautiful, and there are many For food, the two of them were discussing about eating raw meat, and what they said came and went, I just don’t believe that meat can also be eaten raw?”

Everyone laughed and said, "Guai Dao didn't see him, so he went to eat venison in hiding."

When I came to the east room for a while, I saw Xiangyun and Baoyu roasting venison with iron forks and iron wire Mongolian. Li Wan shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't written the poem yet, so I'm in such a hurry. Be careful not to cut your hands." .”

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we are all careful."

The rhyme of the title was drawn up for a while, the venison was roasted, and the aroma was overflowing. Tanchun and the others couldn't help it, and took off their bracelets and rings one after another, and went forward to eat.

Li Wan also roasted two pieces and ate them. When he looked up, he saw Daiyu and Baoqin standing aside talking and laughing. Today, Daiyu was wearing a large cloak with a big red feather crepe surface and white fox fur. Flower nephrite is average.Baoqin is dressed in the fur that Jia Mu gave her, she is charming and bright, and the two stand together, like a pearl, like a beautiful jade, reflecting each other's splendor.

Li Wan saw that the two of them were only smiling and watching, so he waved and said with a smile: "This venison is very tender, come and taste it."

Xiangyun and Baochai also smiled and asked them to taste the taste, but Baoqin was too salty and refused to try it. Daiyu smiled and pulled Baoqin forward, saying, "Try it, it's delicious."

Baoyu hurriedly handed over some skewers of roasted meat, and said, "Sister, try this, it's just roasted, and it's still hot."

Ever since he found out that Daiyu was engaged, Baoyu sometimes thought about it with sadness, but now it has been more than a year,

She has already thought about it in her heart, although she is still considerate of Daiyu, but she has no more thoughts.

Daiyu grew up with Baoyu since she was a child. Although she is not as close as before, her brother and sister are still very close. Hearing this, she thanked her and took the venison, but only kept a small bunch, and the rest were passed on to her. He gave it to Baoqin and said: "Although venison is delicious, it is too dry and not easy to digest. Although I am healed now, I dare not eat more. Just taste it. Sister Qin, you should eat more." .”

Baoqin ate a piece, and it was really delicious, so she ate it too.

Li Wan said with a smile to Daiyu: "I asked someone to pack some fresh vegetables and mutton. If my sister is not used to eating venison, why don't you roast some vegetables and mutton, the taste is not inferior to venison."

Daiyu also found it novel and interesting, so she did it herself. According to the method taught by Li Wan, she grilled a bunch of radishes and a bunch of mutton. The processed ones are not smelly at all, tender and juicy, and really delicious.

Just as they were eating lively, Sister Feng and Ping'er also came in cloaks, and said with a smile, "well, you won't call me for such a good food." After that, they got together to eat together.

Li Wan said with a smile: "You come here after smelling it, why do you need someone to call you?"

After eating venison once and writing a poem again, Baoyu was punished to go to Changcui Temple to pick a red plum. Jia Mu also came in a small bamboo sedan chair. Xiangwu looked at the painting for a while, and suddenly saw Sister Feng coming over in a purple gown. She smiled and said to Yingchun: "The Feng family sent a lot of things over, the second sister has a quick look."

Yingchun's face flushed when she heard the words, and seeing everyone looking at her jokingly, she became more ashamed, and said with a blushing face: "Sister-in-law can just take care of herself, tell me to do something."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Our Uncle Feng brought this to you specially, I wouldn't dare to cook it on my own."

Everyone became curious after hearing this, and Mother Jia was very satisfied that the Feng family cared so much about Yingchun, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, let's take a look."

When everyone came to the upper room, they saw a lot of things on the ground, most of which were high-quality silk and satin, snacks and food, and a large roll of leather, among which a fiery red fox fur was the most eye-catching. Zhang Hu's fur is bright in color, smooth and smooth, without a single stray hair from head to tail.

Sister Feng stuffed the fox skin into Yingchun's bosom, and said with a smile, "I heard that the brother-in-law of Feng's family beat it himself. I don't know how much effort it took. My sister can just keep it."

Yingchun's face is red, but her heart is very sweet, and the ninja shy away

All kinds of food and snacks were distributed to everyone, and each of Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing was honored with a wolf skin.

Daiyu gave Yingchun a push, and said with a soft smile, "Good sister, you have a good brother-in-law now, so you can't be stingy, why are you so reluctant to part with the rest?"

Yingchun's face turned red, she spat on Daiyu, and said, "Just kidding me, I don't know who raised the little rabbit that Gu's brother-in-law gave me, and wouldn't let anyone touch it."

Daiyu's face flushed immediately when she heard the words, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Everyone was looking at things and didn't pay attention to the lawsuit here for a while, only Li Wan and Xiang Yun listened attentively.

Li Wan managed to hold back his smile, but Xiang Yun let out a burst of laughter, and said with a suppressed smile, "Sister Lin, are you hurting the enemy a thousand and yourself eight hundred?"

Daiyu's face became more and more embarrassing, and she wanted to stretch out her hand to tear Xiangyun's mouth, saying: "You are narrow-minded, and you are used to making fun of people!"

Jia Mu and others couldn't understand what he meant, so Li Wan suppressed a smile and explained the whole story, and everyone understood and burst out laughing.

After joking for a while, Mrs. Wang also came to pay her respects. Speaking of business, it turned out that the people from the Feng family were here to give gifts and to discuss the matter of employment.

These are not things that girls who have not left the court can hear, so Li Wan hurriedly brought all the sisters out.

Mother Jia also sent for Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing to come over. After some discussion, they finally set the date for celebrating Dading on the fifth day of the next month.

After receiving the approval letter, the Feng family hurriedly began to prepare.

The Jia family here also started to get busy, preparing the banquet on the day of the ceremony, drawing up the guest list for the banquet, preparing the dowry for the Spring Festival, and so on.

It's been a few years now, and things are complicated, but fortunately, Li Wan has returned the power of housekeeper to Sister Feng, and Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng discussed all matters related to the Spring Festival marriage, and she was only on the sidelines to help. Take it easy.

Looking forward to the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Feng family sent people over early that morning. Sister Feng had already prepared a banquet and ordered people to entertain her.

On the one hand, send the gift list to Jiamu and Mrs. Xing for review.Mother Jia looked at it and ordered Yuanyang, Amber and others to list one by one. There are one hundred and two sets of clothes for winter and four seasons. In addition, there are 800 pieces of silk satin in various colors such as makeup satin, python satin, colorful satin, and Japanese satin, and 300 taels of sheep wine silver.

Yingchun had already gone into hiding, so Sister Feng took care of the presents, with Li Wan helping her.

At this time, the family members of the Jia family and their close relatives were all in the Jia family.

When the mother went to the room, she was amazed at the rich dowry gift, and said with a smile: "The second girl is so lucky, her husband's family values ​​it so much, and the uncle is young and promising, and he was promoted to the sixth rank at a young age. The second girl is a sixth rank after marrying. An Ren, just enjoy the days to come."

Mrs. Xing looked at the dazzling array of betrothal gifts, her eyes immediately lit up, her heart was overjoyed, she did not expect the Feng family to be so generous, she smiled from ear to ear, and said: "Our girl is lucky to meet such a Generous in-laws."

Seeing that she couldn't speak, Mother Jia couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at Mrs. Xing who was smiling, paused, and said with a smile: "My uncle values ​​our second girl's fortune so much, we won't treat the second girl badly. The dowry will be added to the dowry.”

After hearing this, everyone praised Jia's mother for her generosity and love for her granddaughter.

Only Mrs. Xing, looking at the pile of gold beads, jewellery, and silk satin, was heartbroken to death, but Mother Jia had already spoken, and no matter how unwilling she was, she dared not disobey.

Afterwards, the imperial concubine Yuan also gave her things, which were a jade handle, a pair of Jinfushou Shuangxi holding pots, a pair of jade carved pomegranate ornaments, four bolts of red palace silk, and four bolts of palace satin.

Everyone in the Jia residence thanked the young eunuch for their kindness, and packed the reward list into a box. These are all unique decency.

Afterwards, the Feng family sent someone to ask for a date, and the two families did some divination and decided that the date of the personal welcome will be March [-]th in the beginning of spring next year.

After finally finishing his work, Li Wan had to rest for a while. Because the weather was getting colder, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang ordered to set up a small kitchen in the Grand View Garden, and asked Liu's family to take charge of it. To avoid the morning and evening of the people.

Li Wan became more and more lazy to move around. All day long, the family only read books by the fire in the room, or watched the maids do needlework.

The old house of Aunt Li's mother's family has been tidied up. At the beginning of the month, she resigned from Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang and went to live at home. However, because Li Wen and Li Qi like the sisters in the garden, they will come to live for a few days every once in a while. The day varies.

Early this morning, Li Wan had just finished his lunch and was leaning on the kang reading a book when he suddenly saw Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun coming together, followed by two little girls carrying bundles.

Li Wan got up and gave up his seat to watch tea, and said with a smile, "It's freezing cold today, why are you here now?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Tomorrow is my sister-in-law's future, and we don't have any good things to get out, so we each made two-color needlework. The work is rough, so please don't dislike my sister-in-law."

Li Wan was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered that tomorrow was his birthday.

Su Yun also patted her forehead

She turned her head and said, "It's all my fault. I've been so busy these days that I even forgot grandma's birthday!"

Li Wan smiled and said: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, it's just a birthday, and it's not a child's house, so it's nothing important to pass it." He also thanked Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan: "It's hard for the two younger sisters to think about it and prepare these specially. .”

While talking, Ming Suyun took over the burden, opened it and saw that what Xing Xiuyan had was a pair of shoes and socks, and what Yingchun was wearing was a set of clothes.

Li Wan picked up the pair of embroidered shoes, and saw that they were white satin mixed with gold embroidered satin. On the white satin, gold and silver silk threads were embroidered with folded branches of flowers and butterflies. Both imply auspiciousness, and a gold satin edge is pressed between the upper and the heel.

The matching pair is a pair of light green silk embroidered cloud pattern cotton socks, the socks are made of white dark floral damask, the sock tube is made of light green silk, the sock is inlaid with stone blue hook lotus cloud pattern woven gold satin edge, and the socks are filled with silk cotton.The stockings are embroidered with colorful silk threads and gold threads, with the pattern of cranes flying between the sea of ​​clouds.

Li Wan couldn't put it down, played with it repeatedly, and said: "It's hard for my sister to be good at craftsmanship, this butterfly is really embroidered as if it is about to fly, such exquisite shoes and socks, how can I be willing to wear them."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "But put money on it and embroider it more delicately. Sister-in-law will try it to see if it fits well."

Li Wan put it on and tried it on, only to find that it was soft and warm, the size fit her feet very comfortably, and she couldn't help laughing: "It really fits, thank you sister."

Xiuyan was very shy, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "As long as my sister-in-law likes it."

Yingchun smiled and said: "The clothes I made were cut according to my sister-in-law's previous size, so I don't know if it fits well." As she talked, she unpacked the bundle, and found a set of royal blue satin embroidered with folded branches and plum pattern fox fur jacket. The robe is inlaid with white fox fur, the cuffs are inlaid with sable fur, the neckline and skirt are adorned with four silver gilt chiselled buttons, the edge of the robe is inlaid with gold satin edge woven with stone blue lotus pattern, and the inner lining is moon white dark flower silk lining. Fluffy.

The skirt is white crepe silk ermine skirt embroidered with folded branches of plum blossoms. The fabric is white Sihe Ruyi dark pattern silk, embroidered with multicolored lotuses, pier orchids, and butterflies. , Ruyi Evergreen Bandai pattern, exquisite embroidery, pattern patchwork.

Li Wan knew that Yingchun didn't have a lot of money, and the leather for this set of clothes was sent by Feng Ziying earlier, and Yingchun had been reluctant to use it, but she didn't expect to make clothes for her this time.
