Da Suining

Chapter 31 Who's making noise
Princess Guo's name is Guo Lingzhen, and she is the younger sister of the current emperor Guo Zhengchan. Her empress dowager mother had two sons in a row when she was Concubine Shu, and she had a daughter only after more than ten years.

There are a dozen or so princesses in the imperial court, but together they are not as important as her.

According to the recollection of the eunuch in the dining room, because Princess Guo didn't like the smell of mutton, her father, Emperor Chengzhao, gave up mutton as long as she could remember.The palace did not eat mutton, so the folk sheep had fun, running all over the hillside, growing fat and strong, like half a calf.

She married Changxin Hou Lanyong. It is said that the dowry was carried out from the palace for a whole day and night.

For many years, the two have had children. Although Princess Guo is not in the court, but she has a high status and a great demeanor. People in Qingcheng have heard of her.

Changxinhou's Mansion will hold a banquet, and the banquet will be specially hosted for the noble sons and daughters of the adults. This news can't help but make people's hearts flutter.

Mrs. Xiang also asked Xiang Suining to go.

Mrs. Xiang's room was full of delicious food. The southern bacon was sliced ​​translucently, and it was still steaming when it was steamed.Although it is not the season, there are also fruits in the northwest. Cut a piece, and the juice is dripping yellow.

Xiang Suining ate his snacks, and drank another cup of green tea that Madam Su handed over.

The snacks are sweet and the tea is fragrant.The tip of the tongue is also sweet.

Mrs. Xiang gave Su Nanny a wink, and Su Nanny quickly opened the inner box, and brought a silver hairpin made of butterflies through flowers and a hundred treasures.

Mrs. Xiang compared Xiang Suining's head with the hairpin, then shook her head: "This is what I wore when I married. Come on, it makes people look old, no, no."

Madam Su presented another golden hairpin with crabapple flowers inlaid with silver leaves, and Mrs. Xiang was not satisfied after seeing it: "The crabapple flowers are a bit tacky after all, and the workmanship of this hairpin is not good. They were the children of noble families that day. , wearing this hairpin will make people laugh."

Xiang Suining ate another piece of dessert.

Mrs. Xiang was worried: "This child doesn't know how to worry at all. It's almost time. If grandma didn't worry about it, you probably wouldn't know about it."

Mrs. Xiang was thinking about the banquet on the second day of February at Princess Guo's house, how could Xiang Suining not know.

Tang Xiaoniang and Xiangyan are both tailors and jewelry craftsmen, so they almost beat the gongs and drums to tell everyone that there is an event in Qingcheng.

The daughters of the masters in Qingcheng, I haven't seen anything delicious and fun. The banquet on that day was just for the men and women of different families who have never met before to get to know each other, so that it is convenient for them to start in the future.Those with good looks like the third girl, Xiang Yan, who can usually lose their souls before the banquet is over, and those who are not good-looking like Xiang Suining, just join in the fun to make up for the number.

Xiang Suining didn't want to go. At the banquet that day, the girls from every family tried their best to show off, and all of them were dressed like fairies, which made her look even uglier.

People should not be judged by their appearance, and their ugliness should not be exposed.

Mrs. Xiang doesn't think so.

Even if she wanted to join in the fun, Mrs. Xiang was willing: "That's Princess Guo's mansion, not everyone can go there, you have to have status, you are the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, in terms of qualifications, you rank first."

"Grandmother..." Xiang Suining was a little awkward. Anyway, she was accompanying her, and she was not very interested in attending the banquet, so she could only say disconsolately: "Grandmother, I heard that if you go to the banquet, you must have invitations."

"How could I not know." Mrs. Xiang's wife nuzzled: "I'm afraid the post has already reached Xiaoniang Tang's hands, otherwise she will mobilize people to dress up the third girl."

"The third girl is already pretty." Xiang Suining looked envious: "The third girl will be dressed up by Tang Xiaoniang, and she will definitely be famous in Qingcheng."

"You..." Mrs. Xiang held Xiang Suining in her arms and gently stroked her hair: "Everyone says your mother is stupid, you are really more and more like your mother, you are a prostitute, how can you To increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own prestige?"

"Grandmother... said yes."

"Tang Xiaoniang has made all the preparations for the third girl. Anyway, she should take care of you, otherwise outsiders will laugh at them." Madam Xiang sighed: "If she doesn't tell you to go, I will go to her and see how she behaves." this home."

"Second girl——" a girl wearing a silver bijia and combing a double bun came in. It turned out to be Chunyu, the big maid next to Xiangyan. Go talk."

"You go ahead." Mrs. Xiang was a little relieved: "After all, she still remembers that you are a daughter-in-law. It is also appropriate to measure some clothes and make some jewelry."

Chunyu stood silently.

Xiang Suining said goodbye to Mrs. Xiang and went to Tang Xiaoniang's courtyard.

Chunyu followed closely behind, still not saying a word.

Xiang Suining murmured in his heart, if Tang Xiaoniang wanted to make clothes and jewelry for herself, Chunyu would be the first to congratulate herself and ask for a few rewards for her auspicious words?

Now that Chunyu doesn't speak, it's probably more bad luck than good luck.

How could Tang Xiaoniang be so full that she took the initiative to care about her?
The sun climbed overhead.A warm halo is sprinkled on the west window, and the bronze mirror illuminated by it also has a layer of halo.

Xiangyan was wearing a water-red pomegranate dress, and the woman who combed her hair carefully combed her hair with an ivory comb. After combing her hair, she put flowers on it, inserted white pearls and silver hairpins, and the servant girl knelt down to paint her eyebrows. Yan's eyebrows are very thick, long and thick, reaching all the way to the temples, these are the most beautiful eyebrows Xiang Suining has ever seen.

Sitting on the soft couch, Tang Xiaoniang was grooming the black cat in her arms, while staring at the servants who were serving Xiangyan, watching with a smile on her lips.

Until Xiang Suining came in, Tang Xiaoniang looked up at her, and said to the servants: "Second Miss is here too, take a look, what kind of bun is suitable for Second Miss's hair?"

"The second girl's hair is yellow and short, and her hair in a bun is not as good-looking as the third girl's."

"Second girl looks like this, what kind of makeup should I put on?"

"Makeup is just the icing on the cake, it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. Like the third girl, her eyebrows are dark without painting, and her lips are red without a spot. It's really rare. The second girl's appearance is a bit embarrassing."

They are all talking servants.The damaged phase Suining was well damaged, and Tang Xiaoniang was quite satisfied.

Mingzhu gasped: "You servants, how dare you say such things about Miss Master."

Tang Xiaoniang yawned, lost the black cat and said coldly: "You are a servant, who gave you the courage to make loud noises in my place."

"Don't let the noise go too far." Mingzhu hid behind Xiang Suining.

Tang Xiaoniang took off her embroidered shoes and was about to throw them over. Thinking about the poor shoes, she put them on again, trimmed the corners of her skirt, and pretended to be dignified: "When I am free, I will clean up you sharp-mouthed ones one by one. , the banquet is important at the moment, and it will be cheaper for you."

"Young lady, why are you looking for me? Why don't you just tell me." Xiang Suining sat across from the table with his hands on his knees, which was decent.
