win the hairpin

Chapter 4
In the blink of an eye, the twelfth of June arrived. Let alone Huang Wenqiu went to the Song family to propose marriage, Song Huiyue didn't even see a piece of his clothes.

The thirteenth day was the day when the Yan Mansion held a banquet at the Qihe Village in the outer city.

All officials and family members in Tanzhou City will come.

Mrs. Chen hadn't attended a banquet for a long time, and with such a big banquet, she was busy before nightfall.

Song Huiyue stretched out her hand stiffly, and all ten fingers were covered with Impatiens flower mud.

Chen chose a silver-gray gauze shirt embroidered with orchid grass, gesticulated on Song Huiyue's body, and let them burn the incense with satisfaction.

Aunt Lin and Aunt Wang stretched out their hands at the same time, and in the end Aunt Lin won the fight and snatched her arms. Aunt Wang missed and could only stare at Aunt Lin.

Chen ignored their eyebrows and eye lawsuits, continued to pick up skirts, and said to Song Huiyue: "You can't be naughty when you go."

Song Huiyue's face was covered with balm, and the whole face became a thick wall, as if it would crack if it moved casually.

She pouted a small cherry mouth, and said vaguely: "I've never been naughty, am I Qinghui?"

Song Qinghui sat on the porch outside, stretching out ten fingers to dye his nails, and nodded after listening: "Yes."

Mrs. Chen changed a skirt: "It's better if you're not naughty. Also, when you get there, if someone speaks badly, don't get angry, and bear with it if you can."

Speaking of this, her heart almost reached her throat.

She knows her daughter's temperament best.

It just looks soft.

Those who went to the banquet were all the rich and powerful women in the city. Those wives were always decent, but those little ladies were different. They were all spoiled and spoiled, and they dared to say anything.

She wholeheartedly wanted to find a marriage for Song Huiyue that she could rely on for life, and she didn't want to be absent.

"Did you hit the mosquito on your ear? Did you hear that?"

Song Huiyue smiled and nodded.

After choosing the clothes, Chen Shi led everyone back to rest, and Song Huiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She washed her face, changed into coarse clothes, ordered Yuan Yuan to light incense sticks outside, let her go to sleep, took a bamboo knife, and sat on a bamboo pole to split a bamboo tube.

A tube of green bamboo, cut in half and then in half, separate the green bamboo slices and yellow bamboo slices, and then cut into green strips with clear green and white, uniform thickness.

Yin Xiao jumped down from the roof, sat on the stone steps, and straightened the green strips that Song Huiyue had cut.

"Ma'am, Huang Wenqiu took out all the tea leaves in his hand, and even went to find a matchmaker to go to Luo's family to propose marriage."

"He is afraid that I will play tricks on children, and he is anxious to settle down."

"He is ungrateful, I will kill him to vent your anger."

Song Huiyue's subordinates used ingenuity, and there was a clear cracking sound from the bamboo tube: "It's easy to kill people, but what happens after you kill someone? The government posted the arrest documents at sea, and they arrested you from door to door, and you will have to die. no more."

Another bamboo tube fell apart under her hands.

Yin Xiao fell silent, and grabbed the bamboo irritably, and the bamboo thorns got into her fingers without feeling any pain.

A peaceful life is hard-won, and they all want to cherish it.

Without the ability to cover the sky with one hand, killing someone is not so easy.

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 also very irritable. I learned how to be a bamboo craftsman to calm down. I think you should learn from it too. Don't shout and kill all day long. Another day you can weave a bamboo curtain for me."

"Yes."

Early the next morning, Song Huiyue put on rouge and lead powder, wore a silver-gray gauze shirt and a grass-green skirt, and Mrs. Chen also dressed quietly and generously. She rented three carriages and brought Song Qinghui and Aunt Lin who were going to play together. , together to the shepherd's lotus garden in the outer city.

Although it was early to go out, the summer was scorching, and the morning light was like flowing gold, shining yellow on the roof tiles and streets, and the carriage was also very hot.

Chen was motion sick, so he didn't dare to eat breakfast, so he only drank some tea, and now it was uncomfortably hot, so he couldn't spit it out in front of Song Huiyue.

Song Huiyue fanned Chen Shi from the side. As soon as the carriage stopped, she lifted her skirt to get off the carriage, but Chen Shi stopped her: "Be gentle."

Soon Yuan Yuan and Nanny Liu came down from the carriage at the back, placed the horse stools, and raised 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 Mrs. Chen down.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked Aunt Lin to take good care of Song Qinghui.

The Yan family wanted to make friends with the respectable people in Tanzhou City today, and the servants outside the garden were also eager to welcome them in and led them in.

The garden is full of gauze sheds, covering the sun, and it is cool and bright. They came early, and two maids led them to watch the scenery, and asked them to drink tea outside the main hall.

Immediately behind them was Li Shi, the daughter-in-law of Shi Xiechuan, the governor of Prince Jin, and her six-month-old son.

When Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Chen, she immediately stepped forward to say hello.

In terms of status, she didn't have to bring her child to come so early, and followed her so closely, it can be seen that she was afraid of Chen's embarrassment, so she came here to help.

Xie Chuan's son, Xie Zhou, is a handsome boy. Song Huiyue had admired Xie Zhou since he was ten years old, and seeing that his son was also Yuxue's cuteness, he secretly kissed him several times while the two were chatting.

Little Xie opened his toothless mouth, salivated, and said "ohhhhhhh" to Song Huiyue, and took a big pee.

Chen accompanied her to wash her hands, and asked Song Huiyue to enjoy the flowers quietly before getting up and leaving.

Song Huiyue couldn't be quiet if she wanted to. The girl who came after her would run away when she saw her, and no one would talk to her.

A golden carp leaped up from the water and bit the petals, arousing everyone's amazement. When Song Huiyue was watching with gusto, someone blocked her view.

The little lady who came here has willow leaf eyebrows, slender eyes, apricot face and peach cheeks, wearing a pink gauze shirt and lotus-colored silk skirt. Although she is not very colorful, she is also very charming.

In addition to being charming, there are also eight points of pride and nine points of shabbyness. From the inside to the outside, it is completely cold.

"You are sister Eyue, I didn't expect to see you here."

Song Huiyue looked her up and down, knowing it in her heart, but said in her mouth, "Who are you?"

"My surname is Luo, and my name is Hui Niang." Luo Hui Niang sat down opposite her. "I was drinking tea in the pavilion of a tea house once, and when you were riding out of town, your companion pointed it out to me so I recognized you."

After all, she looked at Yuan Yuan standing behind Song Huiyue.

Song Huiyue nodded with a smile, turned to Yuan Yuan and said, "Go and see if there are any plums, and bring me two."

Yuan Yuan bowed and said in a low voice: "Mistress, Madam said we should be cautious in our words and deeds."

"Stay," Song Huiyue poked her forehead helplessly with her index finger: "You are blocking my wind, sit over there."

Yuan Yuan quickly moved away.

Luo Huiniang smiled and said, "My sister is so smart, I didn't expect the maid to be so sincere."

Song Huiyue nodded perfunctorily.

"My sister is looking at the lotus?"

"Yes."

"Actually, the roses behind my sister are also pretty. They form walls and frames, like clouds and mist. My sister might as well look back. Sometimes people are too obsessed with one scenery, and it is easy to ignore others."
