Stunning elegance

Time flies in a blink of an eye, and March has arrived.Spring is also coming, which everyone is looking forward to.In the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly, the annual Flower Festival is coming.

The Huachao Festival is definitely the favorite festival of these noble ladies in the capital.Although Nanyue's national style is more open than other countries, and even allows women to enter the court as officials, the restraint on women is still deep-rooted.

Generally, women who have not left the pavilion cannot go out alone, unless they catch up with some festivals before they have the opportunity to go out for fun.

Flower Festival is one of them.The girls who have been bored in the boudoir all winter have no chance to go out.Once the weather warms up in spring, it will be convenient for them to travel.It is a rare opportunity to take off the heavy winter clothes and put on light spring clothes, and go for an outing together.

One day in mid-March, Jiang Qinqin, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, came to invite him.He said that he wanted to invite her to go for an outing together on the Huachao Festival.Lu Jieyuan thought that there was nothing to do in Lu's residence, so she agreed.

The Office of the Minister of Rites.

"Miss, Miss Lu has returned the invitation." The servant girl sent the invitation she just received from the butler to the room.Jiang Qinqin was looking at the two sets of spring clothes that he ordered a few days ago.She was suffocated to death in the mansion, so she had already planned to take advantage of the Flower Festival to go out and have some fun.

After receiving the invitation, Jiang Qinqin opened it and looked at it, his joy was beyond words.Unpacking the two spring clothes again, Jiang Qinqin asked his maid: "Ah Jing, do you think these two clothes look good?"

A set of smoky green and a set of pink are very refreshing, and they are also suitable for seasons like spring.Ah Jing smiled and said, "Miss has really good eyesight, these two or more sets of colors are really pretty."

Jiang Qinqin was relieved, ran to the bronze mirror and took out a dowry, picked and picked the hairpins inside, and said depressedly for a while: "Ah Jing, the jewelry here is either too old-fashioned or too heavy, not suitable for spring outings. Woolen cloth."

Ajing was originally the daughter of Jiang Qinqin's mother who married a maid. The master and servant grew up together, so they have a deep relationship.A Jing has always been a clever person, so she suggested: "These jewelry are really not suitable for spring outings. On that day, Miss will wear some simple headdresses. It happens that the crabapple flowers in our yard are about to bloom. How about you The fresh crabapple flowers on the hairpin are beautiful and not out of date."

Jiang Qinqin clapped his hands and applauded, "Ah Jing, you are so smart. Let's do this when the day comes."

Lu Jieyuan, who stayed at home all day, was bored, but she was not a man, so she could go out every day.It's not like a woman can only be in this deep house compound.

When she was free, Lu Jieyuan proposed to look through the ledgers of Xikuanyuan.I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I look at it.In addition to the jewelry that I went to kiss my mother, the daily openings in the courtyard of the mansion are not a small amount.Their Xikuan courtyard is still like this, let alone the entire Lu residence.

Originally, when Aunt Shan was managing the Lu family, there were many abnormal deficits.When she forced Shan Xuemei to spit out her mother's dowry, Lu Zhenan also used his own money to subsidize part of it because she was greedy for it.

It is conceivable that under the management of Shan Xuemei for so many years, the Lu Mansion is basically an empty shell left.The richest person in the entire mansion is probably her mother's dowry.

The family property that Shan Xuemei has embezzled over the years must have been secretly left to Lu Feng.It's just that I don't know where it is now.From this point of view, although Shan Xuemei handed over the management power of the Lu Mansion, it was just an empty shell.

Mother's health is not good, and she doesn't care about worldly affairs, so these things are all handed over to her.Fortunately, she had a profound experience in managing the sixth house when she was a queen in the imperial palace in her previous life.At that time, there were many concubines in the harem, and the power of the mother clan behind them was intricate.

There are even slight differences in the food and clothing expenses in each palace.But you need to pay attention to the cost.At that time, she only thought that since Nangong Daixi handed over the harem to her, she was trusting her.That will definitely not live up to his entrustment.Who would have thought that this would be a hot potato, how could she know such sophisticated personalities when she first entered the harem.

Naturally, a lot of things happened in the middle, but when she was able to take care of the harem properly, she didn't know that her death was close at hand.

So this mere backyard of the Lu Mansion is still nothing to her.But how to make up for so many shortfalls?

A thought can't help but pop up in my mind.Since the mansion is in short supply, it is better to bring in some money from other places.Then how to introduce money from the outside?

Looking at the world, if you want to say that the most profitable is definitely not being an official, but doing business.She thought about it and could make money, and what was the business she was most familiar with.After thinking for a long time, I have no idea.

Just in the blink of an eye, the Huachao Festival is here.The Huachao Festival is a festival that has been spread among the people a long time ago, and gradually became popular among the upper-class ladies and wives.

The Flower Festival is said to be a festival of hundreds of flowers. On this day, all women will go to the countryside to enjoy the flowers together, and they will also cut colorful paper-cuts and stick them on the flower branches.Or go to the Flower God Temple to burn incense to pray for the blessing of the Flower God.

Thinking that the Huashen Temple is too far away, it is impossible to go back and forth in one day.So Lu Jieyuan and Jiang Qinqin decided to just go to the suburbs of Beijing for a spring outing.

The two met outside the capital, and Jiang Qinqin hadn't seen Lu Jieyuan since hunting in autumn.What happened in the Lu Mansion was only known later.

"Jieyuan, you don't even know how hard this winter is." As soon as he saw Lu Jieyuan, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help throwing himself into her arms to complain.

She is eighteen this year, and she has already reached her age.Her parents are preparing for her marriage, urging her to practice female celebrity at home all day long, and to study female rings.

Seeing Jiang Qinqin's appearance, Lu Jieyuan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, isn't this coming out?"

One sentence wiped away Jiang Qinqin's unhappiness, she stood up from Lu Jieyuan's arms, turned around and said, "Jieyuan, do you think I look good today?"

She wore a pink gauze dress today, making her fair and beautiful even more breathtaking.

"This body is really pretty." Lu Jieyuan praised without hesitation.

Jiang Qinqin was very happy, and supported his hair bun and said: "Look at the hairpin on my head is a newly bloomed crabapple in the yard. Doesn't it look good?"

Lu Jieyuan nodded, it is indeed unique.

"It's a pity that there is no way to preserve it for a long time. Once the flower is separated from the flower branch, it will easily wither. It would be great if there are some that don't wither." Jiang Qinqin complained.

A thought instantly hit Lu Jieyuan's head.She thought about what business to do.Jiang Qinqin just said that he reminded himself that he had seen many tribute items when he was a queen in his previous life.

Once I saw a box of silk flowers as a tribute from the south.The silk flowers are so realistic that they seem to be real.She picked it up and looked at it for a long time before realizing that it was fake.

The petals are all made of soft copper wire, and the petals are also dyed silk cloth and put on the copper wire.But that kind of craftsmanship will appear in the future at least a long time. If she finds a few people who can do it and follow her own drawings, will she succeed?

Lu Jieyuan finally let go of a big stone in her heart.Following Jiang Qinqin and getting out of the carriage, the embankment ahead was full of kite-flying people.In March of Yangchun, Huifeng is peaceful and smooth.The colorful women's clothes complement each other in the field of vision, making people dazzled.

Many people gathered in the garden below.The one with the most is the Peach Garden.Peach blossoms are pink and tender, and symbolize love, so they are the most favorite flowers for single women.

"Jieyuan, let's go over there." Jiang Qinqin said, Lu Jieyuan followed her direction and saw a row of green willows that had just sprouted like green smoke.

There were very few people there, and there was no worry that they would be scattered.Lu Jieyuan nodded, and the two walked towards Liu'an hand in hand, the warm wind carried the fragrance of the green grass and land refreshing.Looking around, the peach blossoms and willows are everywhere, which made the two of them feel much better.

"Oh, there are many people going to hang colored papers in front, should we also go?" Jiang Qinqin pulled Lu Jieyuan and ran there.

A lot of colored paper had already been stained on the flower branches, Lu Jieyuan and Jiang Qinqin took out their prepared colored papers and hung them devoutly on the flower branches, both of them folded their hands together and meditated silently.
