Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 409 The Full Moon Banquet in the White Mansion (2)
"Yangyang, is this a custom in your hometown?"

Qing Li pointed to the sheep embroidered on the corner of Zhao Yang's sheep skirt, the corners of her mouth twitched, they are all good sisters, this matter cannot be laughed at, but she is really, um, abrupt in such a suit.

"No, this is a dress that my father sent someone to spend a lot of money on."

Zhao Yangyang shook his head with a blushing face, and said politely, "Because my family got rich by raising sheep, so my father said that sheep will bring me good luck."

"That's right, haha."

Shui Linghuan endured it, but she still couldn't help but squatted on the ground and laughed while holding her stomach. Behind Qingli, Madam Yu frowned, feeling depressed. Ms. Li probably became a sister with such an unruly person like Shui Linghuan. So in the past four years, I have always been poorly taught, pretending to be okay outside, and immediately revealing my secrets when I come back. birth problem.

"Laugh if you want."

After Zhao Yangyang finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood smiling, looked at Shui Linghuan for a while, looked at Qingli for a while, and made a naive grimace, and the face of Mammy Yu was suddenly covered with clouds, like birds of a feather flock together , People are divided into groups, and she feels that the task assigned by her young master is difficult to complete.

"Yangyang, this dress is very distinctive."

Qingli thought about the words for a long time, and the only way to describe it was this. It should be considered very distinctive. She always felt like she came from the prairie, with a row of braids and a small felt hat on her head.

"I also know it's not good-looking, but my father said it would bring good luck, so I just wore it. It shouldn't be embarrassing."

There may be a lot of people going to the full moon banquet this time, Zhao Yangyang is a little hesitant, she doesn't want to be the target of being teased, after all, Shui Linghuan invited her to go, she can't entrap her sisters, so she carefully prepared a few bolts of valuable cloth as gifts , They were all bought by my father with a lot of money.

"It's pretty good, just wear it like this, we still have time to go straight there now."

The three drank some porridge briefly, and Qingli wanted to eat more, but she was glared at by Nanny Yu several times. These official ladies don't eat when they go out to participate in the banquet, for fear that after eating too much, they will wear close-fitting clothes The dress will be ugly if the stomach is bulging, so I control it all.

After the rain, the air is extraordinarily fresh, and the smell of the soil is gone. The yard is full of residual flowers that were hit by the rain last night. The leaves of the leaves are washed by the rain without a trace of dust, and they look more green. A few people walk in the tree On the cobblestone path, the raindrops on the leaves wet a few spots on the clothes.

"Let's go directly to the White Mansion, the presents are all ready!"

Qingli mainly asked Zhao Yangyang, and Shui Linghuan and Shui Lingli were cousins ​​with a close relationship, so they basically didn't worry about this question, and the jade pendant she gave was already carried with her.

"Well, I made an appointment with my father before, and my father sent someone to wait for me outside the gate of the White Mansion."

Generally, when giving gifts at this time, there are maids and women who register at the door. It is clear at a glance what is being given, and those who need to return gifts are of lower value than the gifts. This can reflect respect, and the full moon banquet will also return gifts. Some pastries.

Qingli remembers that when she was in Mojia Village, there was also a family whose newborn baby was over the full moon. At that time, the family was still very poor. The mother took the eggs she had saved and tore three feet of fabric. Some villagers gave them all The tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats made by myself, if the close relatives of the family, will also prepare a red rope for the baby to wear, with a copper plate tied to it, and treat it as pocket money. Paying attention to this, she asked Nanny Yu before, and she only said that drinking the full moon wine, the most solemn thing is the one-year-old catch week.

The White Mansion is a famous family, and it is also the empress's natal family, so its status is naturally not low. The mansion is located in the core area of ​​the inner city of Kyoto, across the street from Chunyu's family's General Protector's Mansion, and its status can be seen from the place of residence, although There was such a heavy rain yesterday. After the rain cleared, many carriages came on the road, and everyone was heading in the same direction.

"I saw my carriage!"

Zhao Yangyang was sitting in Qingli's carriage this time, looking out through the lace curtains, she was afraid that she didn't come home yesterday, it was raining heavily, and her father couldn't make it through, and she wouldn't be worried if there was any news from her. I was very excited to see the housekeeper who came to give gifts.

Nanny Yu has a cold face and no smile at all. This Miss Zhao family is a merchant. She spends all day thinking about meeting the world and seeing what actions she makes. If she is not here, she can open the curtain of the car. It's so indecent, why is Miss Li making friends with people like this? There used to be Shui Lingli who was always wielding a whip and finally got married. This time there are several more, let alone Liu Huasheng. They speak rudely and sometimes use dirty words, even if they grow up in the countryside.

"Just turn the corner ahead."

Qingli glanced at Nanny Yu's elongated face, and wanted to send her back even more, nagging and pointing fingers all day long, the problem wasn't her mother-in-law, it was enough, her mood couldn't be smooth every day.She patted Zhao Yangyang's hand, telling her not to worry and stay calm, Shui Linghuan's carriage is ahead, just follow closely.

Qingli has been to Bai Mansion many times and is no stranger to them. Although Bai Ruochen and Shui Lingli are free and easy, they are just different. The etiquette of the Bai family is strict, and the maids and women don't talk much, which makes them feel a bit dull No wonder, the White Queen, the mother of the world, comes from the Bai family, so the rules and etiquette can't be bad.

"By the way, the sister Ran Ran that Ling Huan mentioned last time is also the fourth prince and concubine. If there are no exceptions, she should come."

Qingli also hadn't seen Ruan Ranran for a while, and she had a lot to say, she had a good impression of her before, she was a little tricky, but she had to be more upright, and Ruan Ranran was also the one who had the most trouble with Zhao Wanqing back then, so she helped a lot Qingli said that the status is high now, the fourth prince, Yelu Chuyang, is Bai Ruochen's cousin in terms of relationship, so he should come to congratulate him.

"Qingli, I'm so nervous, do you think I'll be ashamed?"

Zhao Yangyang held Qingli's hand tightly, feeling inferior. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants had the lowest status in the hearts of the common people, let alone in the official family. Yes, the full moon banquet in the White House, even the little people can't get in.

"Don't worry, when I came out of the village, I was often laughed at."

Nowadays, few people mention Qingli's background. Although she is only the niece of a fourth-rank official, she is well-known among the official ladies in Kyoto. People only remember her elegance at the Queen Mother's blessing banquet. Very low-key, under the occasional faultfinding by Mr. Xu from the Academy, the qin music has also won the first place in the capital. She doesn't care much about these Qingli, they are all fake, and they can't be exchanged for money.

"Bai Nai, you are the one to welcome the door today."
