Chapter 191: Huaijiang has a letter
This afternoon was very busy for Tang Rong, very nervous for Aunt Cai, and very lively for Xin''an.
Mrs. Ouyang’s crab banquet did not invite too many people. In addition to the appearance of Xin An’s clothes, she was more about Lin Yao’s relationship.
Lin Yao, Yan Wenhui, Qiu Wenyuan, and Xin An smiled at first glance. She knew more than 70% of the people present, and the rest would be able to get to know each other soon.
Today''s Madam Ouyang''s dress is different from the last time at the invitation banquet. Her hair is naturally curly. Unless she has oily hair, she cannot fit like an ordinary girl. Today, her hair is loose, her long hair is braided and her long hair is tied on top of her head, and fixed it with a few pearl hairpins, which is a unique charm.
Seeing that she looked at her for a few more times, Mrs. Ouyang asked, "Does the Second Young Master think something is wrong?"
Xin An smiled, "I just think that the young lady''s dress is particularly beautiful today. I have seen exotic beauties with slightly curly hair in Huaijiang. The beautiful beauties or the jaspers of the little family are not suitable for them. The ordinary hairpin rings cannot suppress their beauty. Only pearls and various gems can complement each other."
The pearls in Mrs. Ouyang’s hair are so ordinary, but they can dazzlingly shine between her hair, and people are also set off by their grand and luxurious.
Mrs. Ouyang subconsciously stroked her hair and felt that what Xin''an said made sense. Her hair was naturally curly. Her mother said that no matter how she dressed up, she couldn''t suppress her bright colors and was not dignified enough. Today''s dressing was really fed up with the greasy hair, but the effect was better than she thought.
Lin Yao also said that Pearl was very compatible with her, and the rest of the people agreed, one was a compliment, and the other was that the prime minister''s honor and power could not be offended.
Mrs. Ouyang smiled. She liked the clothes that Xin An gave her very much, and liked the two gadgets that Xin An gave her. When she learned that she had seen someone with similar bloodlines as her, she was ready to visit her in person when she was free, and also ask her how she had seen foreign beauties dressed up.
After a while of gossip, everyone talked about crabs. Mrs. Ouyang said, "This year''s crabs are from the north. They are not as big as those in the south, but they are also delicious. I taste it well, so I want to share it with all my sisters. It is rare that you are willing to give me a favor. I feel particularly glorious today."
People are just kidding, and everyone can’t take it seriously. They smiled and said that today is a TOEFL crab that can only be ranked first in the north.
"Although the crabs in the north are smaller, the meat is firmer, and the paste and yellow are more mellow. I have never had the chance to taste them. I have a good taste today."
Xin An sat with Yan Wenhui with a smile, saying that he had never eaten northern crabs. Someone who was not familiar with Huaijiang was curious and asked if there were crabs in Huaijiang?
"Yes, according to the season, the crabs in Huaijiang have to wait a little longer."
People around him smiled and nodded. There were not many people today, and they were decent enough to be invited to the banquet. No one deliberately made things difficult for Xin''an. When the crabs came at noon, Mrs. Ouyang really asked everyone to act on their own, saying that it was fun. Seeing that Xin''an could tear crabs like everyone else, someone asked her if she could eat crabs in Huaijiang like in Beijing?
“It’s not the same.”
Xin An smiled and said, "Huaijiang people are not as delicate as eating crabs. I am not afraid of laughing at you ladies. I just learned how to dismantle crabs yesterday, but I am afraid that everyone will be laughed at today."
Seeing her openness, everyone laughed. It shows that they are not bound by these subtitles and have a greater like for her.
And here are all from real families and big families, and they have long gone to find a sense of superiority in these small things. Not to mention Xin''an and them, even if they eat it casually, no one will say about her.
The luncheon ended, and Xin''an went straight back to the house. As soon as he entered the door, Nanfeng walked in quickly with a letter and delivered it with both hands, "Mrs. Young lady, there is a letter coming from Huaijiang."
“Just delivered.”
Xin An looked happy and eagerly took the letter and opened it and read it. He read it twice before putting the letter back into the envelope. His father was really a wonderful person.
In this life, she is no longer a drag. Her father and younger brother will definitely have a different future.
"Aunt, my brother''s marriage with the Zhou girl was early next year. It was said that the old lady of the Zhou family has been in bad health. The Zhou family wants to hold the wedding ceremony earlier." "My brother is only sixteen next month, and it will be a bit early to get married in the first half of next year."
Aunt Wang said that getting married at 16 is not early, "I am seventeen years old. Those children who get married early will run away."
"Even if there are no married houses, there will be two women who teach sexual intercourse."
"But Uncle Qin said it was not good to get married too early."
Xin An, who has lived for a lifetime, thinks that health is the most important thing. "The girl from the Zhou family is only sixteen at the beginning of next year. She is too young. I will ask Uncle Qin again. If she really doesn''t work, she will get married first and wait for a year and a half before completing her family."
Aunt Wang advised her that Xin Huan had to decide this matter himself, "It''s hard for a married aunt to take care of her brother''s sexual intercourse."
"At most, I would just talk to my mother quietly. Can I really care about my brother and sister''s room affairs?"
Xin An smiled and said, "If that really happens, how annoying will I be?"
Aunt Wang was relieved, and Xin An asked her to pay attention to buying some decent betrothal gifts, "I, the sister, add some betrothal gifts to my brother, right?"
"Then I have to tell my son-in-law."
“That’s nature.”
Although it is spending his own money, Tang Mo should also have the right to know.
Aunt Cuiping has officially moved to Luoyan Pavilion. When she learned that Xin''an would go to the palace with the old lady to pay homage to the empress dowager tomorrow, she came here to tell her about the rules in the palace and the palace masters in the palace, so as not to be reluctant to pay homage if she encountered it.
"Luckily, Aunt Cuiping is here, otherwise I wouldn''t know what to do."
"I naturally have to learn the rules, but tomorrow I will ask my aunt to accompany me to the palace."
Cuiping should go down, and then began to formally teach Xin''an the rules of entering the palace, where to get off the bus and where to wait, and first explain the route of paying tribute clearly.
According to her identity, she could tell the people carefully any etiquette she used.
How should I salute when I see the empress dowager, how should I pay my respects, how should I sit if the empress dowager gives me a seat, how should I enjoy tea, etc., I have been talking about it in detail for more than half an hour.
"Tomorrow, the young lady will drink a sip of tea and use a piece of snack. Remember not to eat more, and try to drink less water. It is inconvenient to wear loose clothes in the palace and it is easy to be rude."
"The clothes you wear tomorrow do not need to be complicated, you can be generous and decent. It is better to be refined and light on the head and face. If the empress dowager does not reward the soft sedan chair, it will take half an hour to go from the palace gate to Fengwu Palace. If there are too many jewelry on her body, it is easy to be embarrassed."
Many people who enter the palace for the first time will choose to dress up grandly, and in the end, their makeup is also **** and their hair is messy, which is very rude and embarrassed.
Chunyang and Chunlu were nervous at this moment and couldn''t help but interrupt, "Aunt Cuiping, please be tired for a while and see that we will choose all the clothes and jewelry that the young lady will use tomorrow. We are not sure."
I thought it would be so glorious to enter the palace, but why did I still suffer so much?
