Chapter 25

This is gone?Why don't you see Third Sister and Tenth Sister?Ruoxi was puzzled, but she didn't ask any further questions and followed Mother Liu out.

The two of them sat in a carriage, and the four maids squeezed into one carriage. Opposite Ruoxi sat Ruo Ling, who was dressed very grandly.

The big peonies are emerald green veil Bixialuo, the skirt of pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaves stretches across the floor, and a silk flower in the shape of peony is inserted obliquely in the bun and foggy temples.The thin powder on the face covered the few faint freckles and pores on the tip of the nose, making the skin fair and tender.The eyebrows are painted far away and the mountains are long, and the lips are painted in rose color, which complements the Koudan on the nails.

"Sixth Sister is so beautifully dressed today!" Ruoxi praised from the bottom of her heart.

Ruoying was a little shy after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to dress up like this, it was all my aunt's idea. She said that my uncle was a second-rank official, and all the people who came and went in the house were big figures like Lord Hou. You can't be sloppy! Besides, my cousin always has her eyes higher than the top... Uh, I mean that my cousin wants face the most, we can't let her lose face in front of the two daughters-in-law!"

"Sister often goes to cousin's uncle's house?" Ruoxi asked with a smile as she heard some tricks.

"I will go there with my wife during the New Year's Eve, and I will also go when there are weddings and funerals at the house."

"Oh." It seems that although Han and Liu are close relatives, they are not as close as close relatives should be, but they are not alienated in the capital.Uncle Biao is a big official, and from Ruo Ling's words, Aunt Biao seems to be a snobbish person, plus the old lady of the Liu family passed away a long time ago and they came to the capital lately, so it's normal for the two families not to get close.That being the case, why bother to pick up their sisters over the house?Then why did the second young lady insist on meeting Ruoying by name?Why didn't the third sister and the tenth sister come together?
Ruoxi couldn't understand it, but no matter how she looked at it, she was a supporting role, so she felt at ease.Not long after, the carriage stopped, and she was helped down by Gui Yuan who caught up behind her, she didn't dare to look around and let alone speak, her eyes were only on Ruo Ling.

The lady in charge of the Liu residence greeted her at the door, Ruoxi took a look and saw that it was the one who went to the house that day.They went in through the side door, walked not far along the corridor and entered the second door.

"Our wives and grandmas are all in Changyin Pavilion, and some girls come with the servants." The woman led the crowd across the small bridge, and Ruoxi heard a few single sounds of the erhu.She has always had a special liking for folk music. In this world, any musician who is randomly picked from the theater troupe is skilled, which makes her very happy.

Listening to the sound, it should be the musicians of the theater troupe adjusting the tune. When they arrived in front of Changyin Pavilion, they saw a large stage set up on the ground. The musicians on it were ready, and there were vaguely dressed actors behind the curtain.On the tall building opposite, gorgeously dressed women could be vaguely seen, and it seemed that the Liu family was not the only one.

Ruoxi and the others followed the woman upstairs, and saw a noble lady sitting in the middle.She was wearing a narrow jacket with eight patterns of Japanese satin, a squirrel fur collar around her neck, and a long skirt sprinkled with floral crepe underneath. It shines like a peacock feather.She was whispering something to the emerald-haired lady next to her, and she seemed to have a good relationship with her.

"Hello, Auntie." Ruoying stepped forward, she smiled brightly, but the target was not the one in the middle, but the bejeweled lady beside her.

When Liu heard the movement, she turned her head and looked over, with a smile on her face but she didn't see it in her eyes, "You guys are here, hurry up and meet Mrs. Dingbohou, Second Wife, and Third Wife."

The four of Ruoxi rushed forward to salute, she only felt a few eyes sweeping over her body but did not stop.

"The four girls all look like a handful of water onions, who is the pretty girl with the sharp tongue at the front?" Mrs. Dingbohou asked with a smile.

When Mrs. Liu heard the words, she hurriedly replied: "The eighth girl Ruoying is my aunt's pistachio! The ones behind are the sixth girl, the seventh girl and the ninth girl."

Ruoxi caught a glimpse of displeasure flashing in the eyes of the second wife at the side, Ruoying shouldn't be in the front row when it comes to concubines and elders.Although it is only a small and unspoken matter, it is very disgusting to the elders in a big family with complicated rules.Ruoying was eager to show off her cleverness, but something was bound to go wrong.

"Come and sit down, the show will start soon." Liu said with a smile.

Ruoying sat down next to the third wife of Hou Fu, and the other three sat down in turn.The little girl came up with playbooks, and Mrs. Liu smiled and asked Mrs. Hou to order some plays.

Mrs. Hou did not refuse, she clicked out, and the second wife, third wife and Liu respectively clicked out again.The gong below started the play, and Ruoxi was immediately attracted by the melodious sound of instruments.

"I heard that the eighth girl is good at the piano. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to enjoy it." The third wife glanced at Ruoying and asked.

Ruoying didn't spend his mind on watching the theater at all, he hurriedly replied when someone asked, "It's just that I have a little understanding of the rhythm, the third wife is absurd."

"There is a number one violinist in Lihuayuan in the capital. I heard that his senior brother is the royal musician in the palace. If the younger brothers and sisters want to listen to the violin, they can enjoy it right now, so why bother with other girls?" The second wife said with a half-smile.

Ruoying blushed a little, looking a little embarrassed.The second wife's words sounded harmless, but it was full of disdain and sarcasm when she took a closer look.Comparing her with the musicians of the theater troupe is obviously humiliating.But she is the wife of the Hou Mansion, a little concubine like her can only bear it!

In the middle of the play, Ruoying pretended to go to the toilet and went out of Changyin Pavilion.That day in the temple, she caught a glimpse of Lin Yihao's love, so now she happened to meet the second wife here, so she wanted to show it off.I never thought that the second wife seemed to have a bad impression of her, which made her feel down to the bottom.

She walked forward slowly with the little girl, and suddenly a little girl came to meet her, "Are you the eighth girl of the Han family?"

"Ah."

"The master ordered the servant to bring this over, and please send it to the eighth girl." The little girl handed over a letter.

Ruoying took it in doubt, and ran away before she could ask the little girl in detail.She opened the envelope, and there was a piece of letter paper folded inside. When she opened it, she saw a few lines of bold and bold words.

After looking at it, her face suddenly changed, she walked a few steps forward and stopped, told the girl beside her to stay and wait, and went to the west of Merlin alone.

The troupe was singing "The Romance of the West Chamber", Ruoxi listened with great interest, whether it was appearance, singing skills, or accompaniment, it was much more authentic than what she had seen on TV.

Suddenly, a woman with a strange expression came up, and she leaned over and whispered something in Liu's ear.Seeing that Liu's face changed drastically, he hesitated for a while and whispered to Mrs. Hou, but his eyes kept staring at Ruoxi and the others.

Ruoxi turned her head and looked over, feeling a little strange, but she saw Mrs. Liu instructing her mother-in-law: "Tell the troupe to continue singing, we're getting bored and go for a walk in the garden." After that, she invited the three wives of the Hou's mansion to go together, and Greet Ruoxi and the others.
