It was Mrs. Song's birthday. The General's Mansion, which had never held a big banquet before, finally became lively today.
Song Heng was also considered a popular figure in the eyes of the current Holy Emperor, so he was going to hold a birthday banquet for his mother, and there were many people here. As soon as the hour passed, many carriages stopped at the door of the General's Mansion.
Lin Qingxue, who was in charge of giving back, dressed up carefully, put on a begonia red coat and skirt, and a gilt headdress inlaid with gems, and went to the front yard to welcome the guests. This male guest was ushered in by his servants From the main hall or side hall in the front yard, the female relatives were led to the flower hall in the back yard.
"My madam, please hurry up! The guests are all here." Qiu Ju urged, looking at the madam who was still slowly wearing clothes. The guests came one after another, but her madam was still here. No clothes on. Someone from Fuyun Pavilion has already been greeting guests in the front yard.
Shen Wan said lazily: "I'm not needed as Lin Qingxue is here to greet you." Why did she go there so quickly? Besides, she doesn't like dealing with people either.
Qiu Ju said with a straight face: "You are also the wife of this general's mansion after all. If you don't go faster, others will think that the only wife in this general's mansion is Lin." After saying this, Qiu Ju took it upon herself to dress Shen Wan. Picked up the clothes.
The dress is a blue begonia flower jacket and skirt. Although it is not festive, it is very bright.
Shen Wan didn't move either, just stood and let her do what she wanted.
After putting on her clothes, Shen Wan was pushed to sit in front of the dressing table by Qiu Ju. After all, she was a seriously injured person. Although she had been recovering for so many years, her face was still a little pale, so Qiu Ju placed a few kisses on her face and The lips were all smeared with rouge. As soon as the rouge was applied, the face became vivid and charming.
Qiu Ju first made her a delicate snake hairpin, with a pair of gold and jade-inlaid coral pearls inserted on the left and right side of the temples, and a red gold hairpin in the middle. She knew that Madam always liked it, The dress is elegant and simple, so there is no time to put a hairpin on the lady's head.
"Okay!" Qiu Ju patted it and said, very satisfied with her work.
Today is the birthday of the old lady. Although she is not very gorgeous when dressed up like this, she is exquisite and elegant and will definitely not lose her identity.
Shen Wan stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, turned around in a circle, and raised her eyebrows at Qiu Ju to express her approval of her skills.
Qiu Ju got another white fur cloak for Shen Wan, put it on her, put the stove in her hand, and then opened the door.
Shen Min, Song Ziling and Ling'er were already ready, and the group headed to the flower hall where the Liu family was.
Today was a good day, the sun was shining, and it hadn't snowed yet. The snow along the way had already been cleared away by the servants in the mansion.
In the garden, Shen Wan also saw several ladies strolling in the garden with their maids.
When they arrived at the flower hall, there were already many people sitting in the flower hall, and Mrs. Liu was also inside, talking happily to these ladies and ladies. Lin Qingxue was not inside, and should be waiting in the front yard to welcome guests. Woolen cloth!
After "Mother" Shen Wan entered the flower hall, she blessed Mrs. Liu.
"grandmother"
"Old Madam" Shen Ming and Song Ziling also paid homage to Mrs. Liu.
Although Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, she was a little dissatisfied with Shen Wan in her heart. Qingxue got up early in the morning to organize things, but it was good for her that she only came out of the yard now.
Many ladies and ladies who had never met Shen Wan tilted their heads and stared at Shen Wan. Although they had heard many rumors about Mrs. Song, they had never seen her in person.
When I looked at her, I found that not only did she look good, but she also had a great temperament. She didn't look like the mother of two children at all. I don't know how she took care of her skin. It was white and tender, especially that of porcelain. Generally speaking, people say that the young lady of the General's Mansion is younger and more beautiful than the eldest lady. But when they just entered the mansion, they also saw the young lady. She was dressed very luxuriously, but compared with the eldest lady who was sober and elegant. In comparison, Madam is really inferior.
If Lin Qingxue in the front yard knew what these people were thinking, she would be so angry that she would grit her teeth.
"This lady is so beautiful." A young lady looked at Shen Wan's face and said.
After Shen Wan heard it, she followed the sound, smiled at the little girl who was still combing her hair, and said, "You are good-looking too!" The little girl blushed and hurriedly hid her face behind her mother.
When everyone heard this, they all laughed. Those who had never met her before could not help but have a good impression of Shen Wan. They felt that her open and generous speech was lovable.
Shen Ming was a man, so he couldn't stay here longer, so he wanted to give his birthday gift first and then go to the front yard. After Shen Wan sat down, he took two steps forward, holding the scroll in both hands, and said to Mrs. Liu : "Shen Ming wishes the old lady to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
When Mrs. Liu saw it was a painting, she felt a little unhappy, but she smiled and said, "Good boy, you've got your heart set on it."
Then, she winked at Grandma Wang who was standing beside her. Grandma Wang understood and stepped forward to take the painting from Shen Ming.
Shen Ming had a good appearance and a refined air. Ever since he entered the flower hall, many young ladies who had not yet left the palace were secretly looking at him.
"This is Mr. Yun's student, Mr. Shen Ming, right?" Wei, the wife of the Minister of Rites, looked at Shen Ming and said.
Mrs. Liu also heard that Shen Ming became the student of that very talented old gentleman. She nodded and said, "Exactly."
