Even if these women wanted to wear hairpins, they still had to wear expensive jewelry. On such occasions, just wearing hairpins would be a devaluation.
But Manmei walked on the veranda very calmly, and would say a few words to Qingpei from time to time.
Jiang Shang had been waiting in the verandah for a long time. When he saw her appearing, he hurriedly got rid of the various young women around him and walked towards her.
She stopped and said a few words to Jiang Shang indifferently. She was obviously not very interested, which was completely opposite to the other female relatives who wanted to stick their eyes to Jiang Shang. She had suffered too many women's hateful glances.
If her eyes were really like arrows, Manmei would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
Shan Boyuan came over at the right time, looked her up and down and praised with a smile, "This peony is well chosen and suits you very well. Although it is not as luxurious as the peony, it has its own charm."
"You know the flowers are more beautiful when they are light." Graceful said to him with a smile. Sometimes, it is useful to do the opposite. Everyone wears heavy makeup, and those with light makeup stand out.
Among Cao Xueqin's famous lines, Manmei likes this one the most. It perfectly expresses the commonality between women and flowers.
A flash of light flashed in Shan Boyuan's eyes, he clapped his hands and praised, "Miss Man is always full of witty words and every word is exquisite. I really admire her very much."
Manmiao and Shan Boyuan exchanged a few pleasantries, and their eyes met. Shan Boyuan nodded slightly to Manmiao, and blinked again, and Manmiao felt relieved. He was a dignified prince of a country, and even
He has no ability at all and is still a fool, so he might as well go back to his country and wait to die.
Yu Han also came over, and several people chatted with each other for a long time.
Shan Boyuan smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Man is in a much better mood." She is also a master of stirring up trouble and easily swayed Jiang Shang.
Manmei glanced sideways at Jiang Shang, glanced at Yu Han's face, and said with a smile, "Time is the best medicine. I have always believed that one day I will tell you the things that make me sad."
"Miss Man is open-minded and I admire her very much." Shan Boyuan praised Manmiao again. The more he behaved like this, the more nervous Jiang Shang became towards Manmiao. He had already glanced at Shan Boyuan several times. Yu Han was just a fool.
, just say a few words from time to time to show your presence, there is no need to steal the spotlight.
Qingpei came over and arranged Manmiao's hair in a bun. It looked like a maid was arranging her master's hair. Her movements were natural and her attitude was very respectful, but Manmiao knew that according to the agreed code, this meant that Chu
Yue'er has successfully sneaked in.
Seeing Qing Pei's skillful service.
Jiang Shang glanced at his maids without leaving any trace. Those maids seemed to be powerful at first glance, and they were the same type as those who were cute and cute like wearing green and purple hairpins. You can't expect them to have many maids for self-defense.
Eyesight is worth it, right?
Manmei ignored this and said directly to Qingpei, "Come in with me." After saying that, she smiled apologetically at a few men, who also showed decent smiles.
Women always have a lot of privileges. For example, when she asked Qingpei and Purple Hairpin away like this, it was hard for the men present to ask her what she was going to do. If she answered that it was to change clothes, it would not only be embarrassing for the woman.
one person.
Generally speaking, for this kind of banquet, unless someone else asks you to leave, most of the time you leave the banquet because you have to eat, drink, and have a bowel movement. Everyone knows this and won't tell anyone.
Manmiao walked to the women's area with Qing Pei and Zi Hairpin. This location is called the Flower Hall. Looking at it, there are not many young girls. Instead, there are a few elderly ladies sitting together drinking tea and talking.
Now that she's here, she has to do a full set of performances. Manmei went to the toilet prepared by the host. She didn't like being served when she went to the toilet. In modern times, few people can urinate in the presence of others, even if she was already in the toilet.
After living in this era for so long, she still resists this.
After she finished having a bowel movement, she was given a green and purple hairpin to clean her hands and apply floral-scented lotion on her hands.
When she came out, Zihan secretly squeezed Man Miao's hand. She looked in the direction of Zihan, with obvious surprise on her face, and asked curiously, "Miss Chu, why are you here?"
We all lived in the same courtyard, and the reason why Chu Yuer'er could not come with us was clear to each other. But Manmei pretended not to know and asked, and Chu Yuer'er was so angry that she bit her silver teeth into pieces.
But she couldn't argue with Manmiao at this time. She glanced at the maid next to Manmiao. Qingpei and Zihao knew the rules and took a few steps back, leaving them two or three meters away.
Manmei glanced at Chu Yue'er curiously, then stretched out her hand to stroke the peony flowers on her temples, with a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, "Does Miss Chu have anything to do with me? Jiang Shang is still waiting for me."
He signaled her to tell her if she had something to say, and if nothing happened, she would get out of the way.
Chu Yue'er was blocked by her and was speechless for a moment, thinking: You only have this little time to be arrogant. Then she calmed down, deliberately slowed down her tone, and said to her, "Sister Man, I am
Came to help you."
"Oh?" Manmiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, and looked Chu Yuer up and down, with an obvious look of disbelief on her face, "I don't think there is anything you can do to help me, Miss Chu."
Chu Yue'er was so slighted by her, but she still suppressed her temper and said to her, "Did you know that someone sneaked in today?"
When asked like this, anyone else would have to ask, who is it?
But Manmei didn't ask, she tugged on her sleeves and looked at the small but delicate peach blossoms embroidered on the piping of the sleeves, brown branches, and peach blossoms with white powder and bright white. This one
I don’t know how much effort it takes to embroider a small sleeve hem.
After leaving Chu Yue'er alone for a few seconds, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the verandah, "Miss Chu, is there anything else?"
With her confident attitude, Chu Yue'er wanted to jump up and tear her face off immediately and stomp her on the ground a few times. But she was really unwilling to let Manmiao go away like this, so she could only continue to be patient and take a step forward.
, gritted his teeth in front of Manmiao and said, "Did you know that my sister is also here? She is here for a private meeting with my cousin!"
When he said the last sentence, he was already a little angry.
Manmei looked at her coldly, but she actually pretended to be pretty cool, as if she was going to catch her wife in bed, rather than instigating her to catch the mistress. It seemed that Chu Yuer'er had always defined her own position.
The wife's.
"Are you talking about your sister Chu Xiner?" They are both good at acting. Mei Miao is confident that her acting skills are much better than Chu Yue'er. With Chu Yue'er's character, she had already been cut into pieces by Hua Feng in Washington.
There was a hint of surprise and shock in his tone, "Didn't she get sent to the Wu family as a concubine a few years ago?!"
