MTL - The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family-Chapter 497 plum feast

   After Mrs. Tian learned that the clothes of Yan's family were all made by Rong Niangzi, under Li Xuemei's suggestion, she took her to walk all over the cloth workshop and embroidery shop in the city in two days.

  After returning, Nanny Rong began to sew her own body.

Mrs. Tian still didn't feel comfortable using the beautiful fabrics she bought, so she took out the fabric she had pressed at the bottom of the box, a piece of heavy-colored fabric, and agreed to add a new dress to Mrs. Rong. She made it herself. .

  Nurse Rong cuts neatly and stitches quickly. She can also reproduce those simple embroidery patterns, but the embroidery is too old-fashioned, the needles used are thick, the thread is not good enough, and it lacks a sense of agility.

   But this was enough to surprise Mrs. Tian.

  She traced the pattern of the new clothes on the paper, and she was with Li Xuemei every day, and the two of them discussed and revised them.

  The new clothes of the family members have been completed one after another.

Yan Yu has two dresses, one is a pink dress, although the fabric is ordinary, but the color is indeed dyed brightly, and it is made with care, the neckline and cuffs have two-color thread-wrapped hemming, adding a bit of delicacy, press Her request is not to be outstanding, but to be well-behaved and not be noticed by others.

The other is a small scholar's gown, which is the same tooth-white color as Yan Xiangheng, with no embroidery all over the body. The finishing touch is at the waistband. Silver, silver, and light blue silk threads are embroidered with a pattern of two flying tigers seizing pearls.

  Inspired by the opening ceremony sent by Wang Gonggong—Flying Tiger Copper Town.

  Li Xuemei was finally willing to take it out and put it on display for Mrs. Tian to trace the design.

When Yan Yu tried on the ready-made clothes, the upper body of the scholar's robe felt plain, and it also highlighted her round figure with a gas tank, but once she added the belt, her energy was lifted, and she wore the jade ring given by her uncle, hanging down. Immediately, there is more heroism and nobility around the waist.

  Yan Yu turned around in satisfaction, but unfortunately there is no mirror, so she can only rely on her own imagination and see the effect from the reactions of people around her.

  …

   It's the day of the winter solstice.

  Yan's family got up early to freshen up.

  The advantage of having a tofu shop at home is that you can drink the purest and most authentic soy milk every day.

  Yan Laoer set up the oil pan today, ready to fry fried dough sticks in the morning, and then use the leftover fried tofu to make bubbles.

  As soon as the fritters were served, Li Xuemei drank half a bowl of soy milk.

   Got up and went to the hut twice...

  Her body can't store much water now, and she runs very frequently in the latrine.

   Either Yan Lao Er was with him or Yan Yu was with him.

  Yan Laoer once suggested that she use a spittoon, but Li Xuemei refused without thinking.

...

   Mrs. Tian invited a lady who combed their hair to put makeup on their hair.

  She herself only inserted a silver comb, very plain.

  Qianchu inserted two velvet flowers on her head, and wrapped them skillfully with two strings of small bead chains. The velvet flowers were surrounded by small pearls with large irregular grains, and hung down by her ears, which matched the silver begonia earrings very well.

  Yan Yu is the simplest, only tied with a red string.

  The lady combing her hair also wears makeup.

  She looked at the two sisters for a while, and the rouge on her hands couldn't be wiped off.

   This pair of sisters has white skin and red lips, and their faces are slightly pink.

   Mrs. Tian saw her embarrassment: "Please trouble your wife." As she spoke, she handed over two strings of copper coins.

The lady who combed her hair took the copper plate, and her smile became more and more sincere: "Oh, your daughter is so handsome! I don't know where to put my powder or rouge, and it will reduce the color if I apply it. This is true. What a natural beauty!"

   "Girl, you don't need to be exaggerated. I asked you to come here before dawn. You haven't eaten yet. If you don't like the freshly ground soybean milk in the morning, you can take some back." Mrs. Tian said.

  The lady who combed her hair refused twice, then happily went back with the keg, saying that she would send the keg back later.

   "Grandma, how good are we going?" Yan Yu was impatient.

  She has been looking forward to today.

  I used to read novels, like this kind of banquet either has a program or an accident, in short, there is something exciting to watch.

  Yan Yu wants to verify for herself whether it is true or not.

   Mrs. Tian looked at the sky and said, "Let's go now, the road will be slower, and it will be almost time to reach the palace."

   "Your teacher is a seventh-rank official, we have to go early, so as not to fall behind other officials."

   There is also a threshold for the imperial concubine to spread invitations widely.

  The seventh rank is the dividing line, without the counterparts of the eighth and ninth ranks, Mrs. Tian and her party are the lowest-ranking officials in this banquet.

   That's why I got up so early in the morning, and it was about the same time when I cleaned up.

  As for the main banquet of the Plum Appreciation Banquet, it usually starts at noon.

  If it is a night banquet, it will be notified in advance and written on the invitation.

  On occasions like today, even those who are not rich will hire a sedan chair or rent a carriage for appearance.

  The Yan family did not have this self-consciousness, and Mrs. Tian didn't care.

   So, Yan Yu drove the bullock cart out by himself.

  She is also thankful that it didn't snow today, otherwise the combed hair would have been ruined once the hat was put on, but she was fine, her elder sister's hair is so beautifully combed, it would be a pity to overwhelm her.

  Sambo stopped firmly at the side entrance of the palace.

  Yan Yu jumped down first, and then stretched out her little hand to let Mrs. Tian and Eldest Sister borrow their strength.

  A young servant came quickly and stood by the side. When everyone got out of the cart, he took the reins and took the ox cart aside.

   This detail is a plus.

  Yan Yu secretly praised, the servants of the palace are well-trained.

  The bullock cart without a shed directly pulled a family of officials over, the lady on it didn’t even have a maid, jumped out of the cart by herself...

  The woman standing at the door to welcome the guests opened her almond eyes slightly.

  She was about to step forward, not wanting the people behind her to be faster than her.

   "Mrs. Tian, ​​the two young ladies, the servants have been waiting here for a long time during the winter solstice."

  The woman who greeted the guests suddenly remembered something.

  Winter Solstice is not a maid in their yard, but a messenger in the prince's yard.

   I greeted you at the other end before, saying that one of the guests at the banquet today is related to the prince who is next to the prince...

   Mrs. Tian said thank you.

  Yan Yu walked up to Dong Zhi, and gave her a piece of broken silver in her hand.

Smiling and said: "What a coincidence, today is the winter solstice, and it's the winter solstice sister who came to pick us up. It's so fate! Winter solstice sister, I've worked hard for you today. We don't understand anything. I'm afraid people will see the joke. How many sisters are there?" Remind us a little bit!"

Winter Solstice generously accepted the broken silver, pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Second Miss, you are welcome, this is the duty of slaves... The prince has confessed, let the slaves take good care of you, he The old man also asked the maidservant to take the second young lady for a walk before the banquet. Apart from the plum trees in the imperial concubine's courtyard, the few white plums planted in the side courtyard are also elegant and unique. The father-in-law said that the second young lady would definitely like it..."

  Ask for a monthly pass, dears~

   You can’t miss the double at the end of the month. You voted a lot on the 28th. Can you continue on the 29th? star eye()

I am very busy today. I went to school for a parent meeting. Dabao, who lives in the house, came back from his study. After three days of walking, he said that the food on the first day was okay and there were chicken legs. There was nothing to eat in the next two days. My heart hurts me, so I quickly took mine. Unjust son had a barbecue~

  Tomorrow will be fine, I plan to code well at home and give my poor data a try~
