The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 497 Plum Appreciation Banquet

After Mrs. Tian learned that the clothes of Yan's family were made by Lady Rong, under Li Xuemei's suggestion, she took her to visit all the cloth workshops and embroidery shops 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. .

Mother Rong's tailoring is neat and her stitches are fast. She can also reproduce those simple embroidery patterns, but the embroidery is too old-fashioned, the needles used are also 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, the two of them discussed and revised them, and after the pattern was decided, they were handed over to Rong Niangzi to cut and sew.

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.

The inspiration comes from the opening ceremony sent by Wang Gonggong - Feihu 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 it was a pity that there was no mirror, so she could only rely on her own imagination and see the effect from the reactions of the people around her.

...

It's the day of the winter solstice.

The Yan 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 frying pan today, ready to fry fried dough sticks in the morning, and then use the leftover fried tofu puffs.

As soon as the fried dough sticks came to the table, Li Xuemei drank half a bowl of soy milk.

Got up and went to the hut twice...

Her current body can't hold any moisture, and she runs very frequently in the hut.

Either Yan Laoer was with him or Yan Yu was with him.

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

She felt that she was not enough for that, she could still walk around, and she didn't want to live a life of being tossed and tossed by those fathers now...

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

She herself only inserted a silver comb, very plain.

On Qianchu's head were inserted two velvet flowers of crabapple, and were cleverly wrapped with two strings of small bead chains. The velvet flowers were surrounded by small pearls with large irregular grains, hanging down by the ears, which matched the earrings of silver crabapple very well.

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

The lady who combs her hair also wears makeup.

She looked at the two sisters for a while, but the rouge on her hands could not be wiped off.

This pair of sisters has white skin and red lips, and their faces are slightly pink. The older one looks like a fairy, and the younger one looks like a fairy when she was young...

Mrs. Tian saw her embarrassment: "I'm sorry to trouble you." She said and 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's family, you don't need to boast, let you 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 the hair refused twice, then happily went back with the small bucket, saying that she would send the small bucket back later.

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

She had 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 lively to watch.

Yan Yu wanted to verify for herself whether it was true or not.

Mrs. Tian looked at the sky and said: "Let's go now, the road is slower, and the time to reach the palace is almost the same."

"Your master has a seventh-rank official position, 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 woke 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 pens will be written on the invitation.

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

The Yan family didn't have this awareness, and Madam Tian didn't care.

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

She was also fortunate 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 eldest sister's combed hair is so beautiful, it would be a pity to overwhelm her.

Three Treasures stopped steadily 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 until everyone got out of the cart, 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 ox cart without even a shed directly pulled a family of officials over, and the lady on the top didn't even have a maid, so she jumped out of the cart by herself...

The almond-shaped eyes of the woman standing at the door are slightly open.

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

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

The welcoming woman suddenly remembered something.

The winter solstice is not a maid in their yard, but a messenger in the prince's yard.

He said hello at the other end before, saying that one of the guests at today's banquet is related to the prince who is next to the prince...

Mrs. Tian said thankfully.

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 have 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 and father-in-law have confessed, let the slaves take good care of you, The old man even asked his servants to take the second miss for a walk before the banquet. Apart from the plum trees in the imperial concubine's courtyard, the few white plums planted in the courtyard are also elegant and unique. The father-in-law said that the second miss would definitely like it... "
