The eldest sister of the poor family is unreliable

Chapter 71
The ancient people didn't pay much attention to birthdays, but coming of age rites and the [-]th birthday must be celebrated. The life span of the ancient people was not long, and being able to pass [-] is already a long life, which needs to be celebrated.

The one who is celebrating his birthday right now is the eldest son of the Emperor Shang, a man of distinction, and many prominent families in Beijing have come to congratulate him.

Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips, she and Huangfu Shaohua had known each other for a while, and they were born on the same day and month, so it was a rare fate?
It's just that their Chen family is a poor family, so if they don't enter, they will be kicked out.

He simply stopped worrying about it, at most he would congratulate him next time we meet.

After a busy day, the three of the Chen family got off work early and went back to celebrate the eldest daughter's birthday.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Tong took Chen Qingqing to buy the ingredients, and made dinner at home until the three of them came back.

As soon as she got home, Chen Yuanyuan was dragged into the room by her sister.

When she saw the new clothes on the bed, she was shocked from ear to ear for a long time.

The clothes of the common people are not like those of some rich families, and the color of the clothes needs to be refined. The silk weaving industry was developed in the Northern Dynasties, and there were not many restrictions on the color of the clothes. Bright colors are more expensive, and light and few are cheaper.

Right now, there is a red jacket and skirt on the bed. Small floral dark patterns are sewn on the hem of the lapel top, and the lines at the waist are smooth and delicate. The drape texture is not ordinary cotton and linen.

Judging by the size, it is clearly sewn according to her figure!
Chen Qingqing laughed again and again: "Sister, the jacket and skirt are made by my mother, and the jacket is made by my mother. Sister, put it on quickly, it looks beautiful!"

During the first half of the month, my mother and grandma sewed behind my elder sister's back, in order to surprise my elder sister.

Chen Yuanyuan gently stroked the bright dress, her nose sore.

It is not easy to sew clothes. My mother must hold candles at night to work during the day, and grandma's eyesight is not good, so it is even more difficult to hold a needle.

Moreover, the materials used and even the silk thread are very different from the past, which is obviously time-consuming.

I'm afraid the Chen family won't be able to find anything more expensive than this dress.

If she hadn't bought the daily necessities at home, she might not even be willing to buy a good one, but she was willing to buy clothes for her... How could she remain indifferent?

She hastily turned her head away, blinking her slightly acidic eyes.

"I have clothes, let's sell them at the market tomorrow."

"No! This is my sister's wedding gift, absolutely not for sale!"

"What kind of gift do you want? Tomorrow, I will sell it for silver, and I can also buy new clothes for my parents and grandma for the New Year."

"Sister! No, no, no!"

Chen Qingqing took a deep breath, and held her little hand tightly, "My sister wants to go on stage to tell a story, so she can't wear clothes that don't fit, and people will see a joke for no reason. This life is only once in a lifetime, and if you want to make up for it in the future, it's okay late."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuanyuan laughed unkindly.

She was already holding her sister in her arms: "You girl is obviously younger than me, why do you talk like a little adult, in the future you and Yun Sheng's coming-of-age ceremony, I will find a good family for you, and take good care of you !"

Chen Qingqing was so teased that she couldn't stop laughing, she came out of her elder sister's arms blushing, and persuaded her elder sister to change her clothes.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and smiled sweetly. She had already washed and changed her clothes.

She looked at the pretty girl in front of the mirror, she was cute and pretty in a red dress, with a ruddy complexion.She turned around in a circle, her heart warmed... After today, she will be an adult!
Suddenly, a thing called responsibility grew in my heart!
Chen's mother waited outside for a while, and had already entered the house to look for her.

Seeing that the eldest daughter has grown up and slim, there is relief and emotion in her eyes.

She stood aside with red eyes and said, "Mother combs your hair."

Girls who are as tall as Ji can use hairpins.

Sitting in front of the mirror, Chen Yuanyuan saw Mother Chen miraculously styled the most beautiful hairstyle for girls nowadays with a wooden hairpin. In order to make her complexion better, Chen Yuanyuan tapped her red lips again and lightly drew her eyebrows.

After finishing dressing, she suddenly turned around and hugged Chen's mother's waist, like a entangled child lovingly acting like a spoiled child on her mother's waist.

"Mother, thank you, Yuanyuan likes it very much."

"Silly girl……"

Chen's mother stroked her hair in comfort, and sighed in her heart - the Chen family has a girl who has just grown up.

***
When Chen Yuanyuan came out, the courtyard was already full of people.

Most of the people in the small courtyard are acquaintances, neighbors, and the big family of Pihou, who are playing around endlessly.

Seeing her coming out in a red dress at this time, they all held their breath and remained silent for a moment.

Children from poor families seldom wear red clothes, and Chen Yuanyuan usually wears noodles in clear soup. At this time, her crimson lips are amazing.

Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Tong Shi were sitting in the first seat and smiling at her.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't understand ancient etiquette, but at this moment, when she saw the three people seated above her, she couldn't help but stepped forward and knelt down on the futon.

He folded his hands and kowtowed devoutly to the three of them.

"Thank you for the kindness of father and mother, and thank you for the kindness of grandma."

Hearing this, the three of them also had red eyes.

Although the girl is going to get married eventually, but she has been raised for more than ten years, and the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh.

"Okay, okay, get up."

The younger siblings at the side had already brought teapots and teacups, and she offered tea to the three elders immediately, and the three elders looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

After a while, Chen Yuanyuan stood up again and offered tea to the elders who came.

Those who came were all acquaintances, and they all sent congratulatory gifts.

Although they were not expensive, they were common wild vegetables with eggs and a little game, but she was still full of joy.On the contrary, Pi Hou gave her a small bamboo flute hanging around his neck, saying that as long as he plays it in the imperial capital, it can be used for self-defense.

After a while, dinner has already begun.

Everyone looked at a large table full of delicious dishes, but the square table could not be placed, and they were all exclaimed.

They all knew that Chen Yuanyuan was a storyteller in the Fulai Building, and the rewards were full, and the jade skin milk of the Chen family was also on sale recently, and they praised it besides envy.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, the night gradually darkened.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, everyone eats hot food, but they don't feel cold.

To celebrate, Father Chen rarely bought a few taels of wine.

Chen Yuanyuan drank a lot of wine in her previous life, and now she took a few sips, and she was even more greedy, but Chen's father refused to give it, so she could only poke her mouth and feel unhappy.

She was depressed when suddenly someone knocked on the door of her house.

She was close, so she went to open the door.

A servant stood outside the door.

"But girl Yuanyuan?"

"Exactly."

She frowned suspiciously, and saw the young servant holding a sandalwood box forward.

"Miss Yuanyuan, this is a gift from my young master to the girl."

"Your young master? Huangfu Shaohua???"

Seeing the young girl directly mentioning the young master's name, the young servant couldn't help but frown, this girl is really rude, he really couldn't figure out why the young master would give a gift to a rude poor girl.

Chen Yuanyuan stretched out her head, looked left and right, saw no one around, and knew that Huangfu Shaohua could not come, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
