Today, Bai Fuling is wearing a gorgeous, bright purple woven brocade jacket with gold makeup, a pleated skirt with lacquer gold painting on a white background, a circle of silver-gray mink hair on the neckline and cuffs, and a coral-red carved velvet cape. The long hair is tied into a hanging cloud bun, and a pair of rose hairpins made of red gold are inserted on it. The roses are half-opened and half-closed to the size of a fist. Each thin petal is engraved with complicated patterns and inlaid with several rice-sized The pink pearl, with her every move, the petals can tremble in the wind, looking light and magnificent, completely different from the styles seen nowadays. Other than that, there are no other hairpins on the hair, only more than a dozen tiny pearls are dotted here and there.
She just stood there, like a fairy flower in full bloom, gorgeous but not vulgar, unparalleled in magnificence, and the plum blossoms in the garden were all eclipsed.
Zhuo was the first to recover, took two steps forward and praised in surprise: "What is called a celestial being? I have seen it today. When I was a child, I always heard that the eldest lady of Zhongguo Gongfu is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Unfortunately, I couldn't see it." Seeing that Miss Lin left Beijing to recuperate due to illness, and seeing her daughter now, she really deserves her reputation! Please come inside, it’s so cold, don’t freeze!”
As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, the other nurses and maidservants who came to welcome the guests with her also woke up, stepped forward to surround them and walked in.
Zhou Shangshu’s other courtyard is called Plum Garden. The entire courtyard is built according to the original terrain. There are corridors connecting the five pavilions of the entire courtyard. For people to rest and enjoy the plum blossoms, there are heaters in the five corners of the pavilion. There are tea stoves and snacks in the pavilion, and there is a little maid waiting. Outside the corridor is the original wild plum blossoms. thoughtful.
It would be even more thoughtful if all the women around me who croaked like hens disappeared... Bai Fuling had a slight smile on her face, but she didn't think so in her heart.
Today she intends to play the role of a taciturn, high-minded and undisciplined lady of the Duke's Mansion, try not to speak if she can, and even if she does, try to solve it within ten words, and put a fake smile on top of the rest.
Because Yangmei and Baiguo both commented on her, she can pretend to be a lady without saying a word, but once she speaks freely, it will be terrible, and she will be exposed as a bully immediately!
Although she thought it was because they were deducted a month's wages plus a quarterly bonus because of Xiaoyou's bed-climbing incident last night, they were resentful and deliberately retaliated, but let's listen to the opinions of the masses, anyway, she is not interested in chirping with these women Crooked and homely.
However, Mrs. Zhuo was very interested in her, and turned her head frequently to talk to her along the way. Fortunately, Mrs. Yin had been repeatedly told by her mother-in-law before she came that she must take good care of this younger sister, so she took the initiative to block a lot of Mrs. Zhuo's enthusiastic slobber for her. offensive.
Bai Fuling lived in Duke Zhong's mansion for several days, but the female family members of Duke Yasukuni's mansion had very limited opportunities to get in touch with her. Every time they saw her, she was either sickly lying on the bed and weak, or she was about to fall ill in the bed. She has a weak posture and speaks very little. Even if they are provocative, she always responds with a dazed look, or asks the maids around her to rescue her. He is an idiot with a bad mind and an angelic face!
Considering that she just came from a "countryside" outside the capital city, she must have limited experience, and making a fool of herself on such an occasion is not her business alone. Even the face of the women of the Yasukuni Mansion was lost!
So even Huiyun and Huiru, the two sisters who were jealous of Bai Fuling, were very careful, deliberately walking beside her to block other people's harassing gazes for her.
Bai Fuling was a little surprised by their reaction. She didn't have a good impression of these two sisters before, but now it seems that they are the typical type who only fight in the nest and cooperate with the outside world as soon as they go out. Her evaluation of them has improved a little. point.
Soon a group of people walked to the main reception hall of Meiyuan—the Fen Pavilion of Yulu Palace. Zhou Shangshu and his wife love plum blossoms very much, so the five main buildings in Meiyuan Garden are named after their favorite plum blossom varieties. The most famous plum blossom variety in Fenxialing here is Yulu Palace Fen, so the largest living room is called Yulu Palace Fen Pavilion , In addition, the other four large houses in the garden are named Qingzhi Yudie Pavilion, Yutai Zhaoshui Pavilion, Danyun Zhusha Pavilion, and Lianhu Danfen Pavilion.
Bai Fuling and the others came neither too early nor too late, there were already seven or eight ladies sitting and talking in the hall. Huiyun quickly glanced at the other guests in the hall, and exchanged a disappointed look with Huiru, those people have not arrived yet!
Zhuo, who was walking with Yin in front, had already taken two steps. He walked into the hall and blessed the mother-in-law who was sitting at the head, and said with a smile on his face: "Mom, we have invited a fairy to attend today." meeting!"
Mrs. Yin said with a smile: "It's just that you have a lot of tricks, what kind of fairy, bring me to see!" I couldn't help but feel good when I saw it.
In the hall, the earth dragon was burned and the stove was set up. It was as warm as spring. Bai Guo took off the cloak for Bai Fuling before entering the hall, and then the scene of Zhuo's welcoming guests was repeated in the hall.
Mrs. Yin couldn't help standing up and walked a few steps in front of Bai Fuling and praised: "You are really a fairy, sister Ling, this is a girl from the family of Miss Zhong Guogong? She is born better than Miss Lin back then!"
Sister Ling was Yin's name before she got married, and Mrs. Yin was her aunt, and she still calls her that. Yin quickly signaled Bai Fuling to come forward to salute and say hello, while briefly introducing a few words to her aunt.
It was the first time that Bai Fuling heard someone outside her family mention her mother's appearance back then. After bowing to Mrs. Yin, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Mrs. Yin met my mother back then?"
Mrs. Yin smiled and said: "Yes, I have. Several ladies here have seen Lingtang, but Lingtang rarely went out in the past. We are only lucky enough to meet her a few times."
The ladies in the hall had different expressions, two of them really showed reminiscence, but the other six just smiled on the surface. I don't know how many people here have overwhelmed, these famous ladies can compare with each other in daily life, nothing more than appearance, family background, fame, clothing and so on, and my mother clearly stated in these items that she is a peerless decathlon master Well, it's no wonder that the lady from the official family who is the same age as her would like to miss her.
Mrs. Yin seemed to really like her, she personally took them to sit in the seat closest to her lower head, even Huiyun and Huiru were also honored.
In fact, this kind of gathering of women's relatives in the capital is also the main way for wives to see their wives. The wives of each family will bring out their daughters who have grown up or are about to grow up, hoping to meet a suitable and good family. In this situation Suddenly, beautiful girls appearing one after another, comparing their own daughters to green leaves, no one can laugh, although the blind date is not only about appearance, but who doesn't want their daughter to get the most attention Woolen cloth
Huiyun and Huiru looked at the whole room and focused their eyes in their direction. This was a scene that had never happened before. Although it was a bit sour, it was more of a sense of pride. The two girls temporarily forgot about the old rift between each other, Huiyun tugged at Huiru's sleeves, and whispered: "I don't know if 'they' will come today, you must come! I think 'they' will be surprised later She looks ashamed and wants to laugh!"
Huiru was very excited: "Yes, yes! For the first time, I hope that 'they' will definitely come to this plum appreciation party. Didn't they show off the limelight last year? I think 'they' can still smile this year! You go Let your sister-in-law inquire about it!"
Huiyun winked at her triumphantly, and whispered a few words next to Yin Shi, Yin Shi turned her head and gave them a sideways look and said: "I don't know how to ask, this is too obvious, you are all nationals. Miss of the government, don't do such petty things."
Although she reprimanded her, there was a gloating smile on the corners of her brows and eyes, and she didn't really mean to refuse.
Huiyun and Huiru are dissatisfied but dare not openly refute.
After sitting like this, it took half a meal. When some ladies and ladies came over to strike up a conversation, it was Yin who came out to socialize. Bai Fuling was just in charge of smirking at the side, and his face was a little stiff. During the period, several wives and ladies came successively, and everyone was shocked when they saw Bai Fuling's expression.
Bai Fuling thought bitterly, could she ask Bai Guo to charge everyone present for the visit? For a super beauty of her level to exhibit publicly, it is quite reasonable to charge ten taels or eight taels, so that she can earn hundreds or thousands of taels a day, which is not in vain for her to dress up and go this far.
Just as he was wandering in the sky, he suddenly heard a nanny coming in and saying that the lady had arrived, and then the atmosphere in the hall began to feel a little strange, all the chirping conversations quieted down, and the two sisters, Huiyun and Huiru, were excitedly holding each other. Sleeves, staring at the hall door with bright eyes, if it weren't for the obvious gloating smiles at the corners of their mouths, Bai Fuling would have thought they were crazy fans waiting to meet their idols.
Looking at the other people in the hall, most of the expressions were the same, but the excitement levels were different. Among them, the young lady was obviously more excited, and many people kept peeking at her. This situation seems to have something to do with her
Yinshi quietly moved over and stood in front of her.
Before she could think about the reason, more than a dozen women in Chinese clothes rushed in in front of the hall. The first woman was about the same age as Yin's, about twenty years old, with a thin figure and a pair of slanted phoenix eyes flashing brightly. , the appearance may not be very beautiful, but the dress is luxurious and exquisite, and the arrogance is displayed on the outside, it seems that the status is not low.
She walked into the hall talking and laughing loudly with Zhuo Shi, before people arrived, the horrible laughter like a hen with its neck cut had already spread throughout the hall, lest others would not know her presence.
