Chapter 78 Regret
Originally, Xie Zhiwei, as a junior, was not qualified to stand side by side with Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zeng, but she has another identity, that is, the county head of the second rank. Since then, she has not exceeded the rules.
Behind these people, there are mighty women and maids, and everyone's face is full of joy.
As soon as Mrs. Qian saw the person, she hurriedly greeted him with 120% energy. After meeting each other, Mrs. Yuan hurriedly invited the guest inside, "I'm late, and I couldn't welcome the distinguished guest. Please bear with me!"
Grandma Lu smiled and said, "As soon as we heard about such a happy event, we had to come over two days ago, and we couldn't wait for a moment. Tell me, why am I not as lucky as you, to have such a good daughter to cheer me up?" ?”
Xie Zhi looked at Zhang Qinghan with a smile.
Zhang Qinghan is her good best friend. Among the three invitations she wrote herself this time, Zhang Qinghan is one.
Zhang Qinghan glanced at her mother helplessly, then pinched Xie Zhiwei's face, "Look, it's all you!"
"My sister will have another drink later, I will apologize to her." Xie Zhi said with a smile.
Zeng Yaoqi came over and asked, "What are you two talking about? You are not afraid of offending me."
"Sister Qinghan is jealous of me, saying that I stole Mrs. Lu's favor from her." Xie Zhi smiled, blinking, revealing a delightful dexterity and cuteness.
After the Yuan family and Mrs. Zeng met each other, the group continued to move forward. Xie Zhiqian had already spoken to Zhang Qingrong. Although she was a descendant, her father was a concubine. She was no match for a legitimate daughter. Zhang Qingrong, who accompanied the concubine, was just right.
The big flower hall is covered with red carpets. There are five gates, only the left and right ones are opened, the middle one is closed, and the middle one is separated by a sixteen-screen red sandalwood throne screen inlaid with jade and flowers.
On the west side, there is an Arhat bed carved with mahogany and five screens on the front. There is a half-new red and colorful embroidered plain bamboo and orchid backrest pillow. There is a tall table next to the mattress, and on it is an amazing pot of autumn bills, with beautiful flowers and a quiet fragrance.
Four official hat chairs are placed in rows at each end, and cushions are also laid on them.
There are twelve bamboo orchid carved lacquer chairs facing each other on both sides of the ground, all of which are squirrel chairs of the same color with small mattresses. There is a small table in the middle of each chair, on which there is a bottle stove and three things, burning Erya incense made by Xie's family, and there are eight inches long, four to five inches wide, two to three inches high, covered with burning rocks. The small mossy orchid bonsai is embellished with several colors of spring swords. The white is pure and quiet, the green is full of vitality, the yellow is luxurious and bright, and the red is full of enthusiasm, welcoming guests.
In the small vermilion lacquer tea tray, there are oil-red imperial poetry tea bowls and small tea hangers, in which there are three clear teas cooked with plum blossom, bergamot, pine and snow water. The tea is fragrant and the tea set is elegant and unique.
There are seven or eight tall tables under the corner windows, on which are placed vases with enamel landscape patterns, or plum vases with bucket color and folded branches pattern, and are decorated with flowers such as "Chrysanthemum East Fence" and "Youzhu Qinglan" according to the shape. Grass, elegant and noble.
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zeng are both people who have seen the world. Seeing this appropriate arrangement, they still couldn't help but shine in front of their eyes. The legendary Mrs. Yuan who came from the family of military generals and didn't know what elegance is Looking at her with admiration, they all feel that such a vulgar person as Yuan Shi has been infected with such elegance and elegance all these years after marrying into Xie's family.
The two looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Yuan Shi is really surprising.
Qian Shi was also dumbfounded. She heard that the original layout of Siyi Pavilion was decorated with autumn chrysanthemums. How can you remedy this brain?
Qian was worried. After all, she is no more than an old lady, just an old lord who only cares about herself in everything. The three-bedroom concubine, if the reputation of the Xie family is damaged, it will be more difficult for the children to marry in the future.
At this time, seeing the refreshing, comfortable and elegant layout in the living room, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she never thought that her sister-in-law still has such abilities.
"Madam's arrangement today really taught us a lot." Mrs. Zeng did not hesitate to praise her.
Mrs. Lu also echoed, "That's right, I haven't seen such a high-spirited decoration in many years. Today, it's an eye-opener for me."
Yuan Shi hurriedly laughed, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm not afraid of the two wives and girls making jokes when I say it. Today's arrangement and arrangement are all thanks to our Meimei family. Who am I? After so many years, everyone They both live in Beijing, and the two wives don't know? I don't have this talent, if it wasn't for Mei Mei, I would be embarrassed today."
Is it Xie Zhiwei?
Zhang Qinghan turned his head and looked over, "Sister Wei, if I say it's you, I'll definitely believe it. In this capital, there is no one with such a heart as you."
Zeng Yaoqi smiled and pointed to the precious pot of autumn list, "That is the pot of autumn list given by the empress? No wonder you decorated it with orchids today. The orchids you chose are quiet and not as elegant as the autumn list. It fits really well."
Xie Zhiwei said humbly, "Both sisters have praised you. I know your talents. If it were you, you would definitely do better today."
"I would like to, but I'm not as lucky as my sister!" Zeng Yaoqi joked with a smile, "Oh, speaking of it, I haven't greeted the county magistrate yet!"
"How can a sister bully people like this?" Xie Zhiwei took a look at the clothes she was wearing. When she came back, she happened to meet the carriages of Princess Taiping's mansion and Ribu Shangshu's mansion parked at Yimen, and hurriedly greeted the guests. I didn't have time to change clothes.
Zhang Qinghan said, "Sister Wei, go and change, we'll wait for you!"
"Okay, then my sister will wait for a while." Xie Zhiwei expressed his apology with a salute, and blessed the body with the two elders, and took the maidservant back to the yard to change clothes and freshen up.
On the way, she told Bailing, "You go and invite the second girl, and just say that I have something to do right now, and let her come over to help entertain the guests."
Bai Ling respectfully responded, and left in a hurry. After passing through the east and west halls, he saw Xie Zhihui coming with a maid, and hurriedly stepped forward to bless her, "Second girl, the eldest girl is about to invite your servants to invite you. All the girls from the Shangshu Mansion are here, the eldest girl has to go back to the yard to change clothes now, there is no one to entertain her."
Xie Zhihui became anxious when she heard that, she regretted being entangled with her mother, so much so that she almost missed a major event, and hurriedly said, "I'll go there now, you go to serve the eldest sister first."
