The book is picked up again.
It is said that Jin Lian walked to the mirror platform at night, took off her mustache, coiled her hair into a hawthorn bun, painted her face snow-white, smeared her lips bright red, wore two gold lantern pendants, pasted three face flowers, wore a purple gold hoop, wore a set of red woven gold braids, and wore an emerald blue satin skirt. She pretends to be a girl and wants to fool Yueniang and the others. called Li Bei'er to come to see her, Li Bei'er smiled and leaned back and said, "Sister, you dress up and live like a girl." I have a red cloth handkerchief in my room to cover your head. When I went to the back, I told them that my father had found another girl and scared them to scare, and they would believe it. ”
Chunmei walked in front with a lantern, walked to the door of the instrument, met Chen Jingji, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come, it seems that you were arranged by Wu Niang." ”
Li Bei'er shouted: "Brother-in-law, come here, wait for me to tell you, you go to see them first, and say so." ”
Jing Ji said: "I have a way to deceive them. ”
So I walked into the upper room first. Everyone sat on the bed and drank tea, and Jing Ji said: "Mother, you see that Dad let Sister-in-law Xue spend sixteen taels of silver to buy a twenty-five-year-old girl who can play and sing, and she sent it in a sedan chair just now." ”
Yueniang said: "Really? Why didn't Sister-in-law Xue come to me first? ”
Jing Ji said: "He was afraid that you would be angry, so he sent the sedan chair to the door and left." The girl has already let them in. ”
Before the eldest concubine could speak, Miss Yang said, "Official, you have enough of these wives, what else do you want to do?" ”
Yueniang said: "Good grandma, don't talk about this!" What's the use of buying a hundred if you have money? We are just accompanying our husbands as a foil. ”
Yu Xiao said, "I'll go and see." ”
I saw that under the moon, it turned out to be Chunmei holding a lantern, followed by Lai An'er, and Li Bei'er also came in with a hijab and red clothes. Meng Yulou and Li Jiaoer all came out to see the excitement. After a while, I entered the room. Yu Xiao leaned on the side of Yueniang and said, "This is our master, you still don't kowtow!" ”
Remove the hijab on one side. Pan Jinlian lowered her head and kowtowed, and couldn't help laughing. Yulou said: "Good girl, don't kowtow to your master, and laugh!" ”
Yueniang smiled and said, "This sixth sister is really smart! Fooled us all. ”
Yulou said, "I don't believe it. ”
Miss Yang said, "Sister, how can you see that you don't believe it? ”
Yulou said: "Our sixth sister usually kowtows, but she also learns to kowtow like that, and take two steps back before bowing." ”
Miss Yang said: "It's still my sister's sharp eyes, if I guess I would believe it." ”
Li Er said, "I believe it." She didn't remove the hijab just now, she smiled herself, and we didn't recognize it. ”
As he was talking, he saw the piano boy come in with a felt bag and say, "Daddy is home." ”
Meng Yulou said: "You hide in the bright room first. When he comes in, I'll coax him. ”
After a while, Ximenqing came in, and Miss Yang and the eldest concubine all went out and sat down in the house. Yueniang didn't speak next to her. Yulou said: "Today, Qiao Tong's family sent six invitations, inviting us to go to see the lights and drink on the 12th. Won't we send some gifts tomorrow? ”
Ximenqing said: "Call Xing'er tomorrow, just buy four dishes and a jar of wine and send them over." Tomorrow, we will send out invitations, and on the 14th we will also invite his wife, as well as Zhou Shoubei's wife, Jing Dujian's wife, Xia's wife, and Zhang's mother. The big concubine doesn't have to run. Tell Ben Si to ask a gardener to make a few fireworks. also asked the little boy of the emperor's family to play "The Legend of the West Chamber". Invite Wu Yin'er and Sister Li Gui again. You watch the lights and eat at home, and I, Second Brother Ying, and Xie Zichun and I went to Lion Street to drink. ”
After speaking, after a while, the wine and food were arranged.
Pan Jinlian handed the wine to everyone, and everyone drank it together for a while. Ximenqing saw Jin Lian dressed as a girl with thick makeup, and couldn't help but pass her eyes on. Jin Lian understood what he meant, walked to the front room, took off her headdress, and showed off her hairstyle. Yueniang said: "Who has influenced you to wear a bun!" ”
Everyone laughed again. Yueniang said to Ximenqing: "Qiao's family invited us to go today, let's send gifts first." ”
Ximenqing said: "Tomorrow, just call Xing'er to buy four dishes and send a jar of wine over." ”
Jin Lian said, "We used to spend a lot of money when we handed out wine, and I also spent a lot when I invited you to eat wine. Don't complain. ”
Ximen Qing took the wine glass she handed over with a smile and held it in his arms, and Jin Lian sat on his lap. Spring plum pours wine, autumn chrysanthemum serves vegetables. Jin Lian said: "Let me ask you, the Qiao family invited us on the twelfth, do we all have to go?" Or is it only the big sister who goes? ”
Ximenqing said: "They invited everyone, why can't you go?" When the time comes, ask the tits to hold the child and go together, so as not to find his mother at home.
Jin Lian said: "Big sisters, they all have clothes to wear, but there are no good-looking ones in my suits." Give us some of the clothes that are new to the south, and we'll wear them!" You just put those clothes aside, you haven't made me any big clothes on you. ”
Ximen Qing smiled: "You, you naughty woman. ”
The next day, Ximenqing came back from the yamen, opened the cabinet, and took out the grosgrain woven from the south. Everyone made a robe with a full sleeve with makeup, a set of brocade clothes, and a set of makeup clothes. Only Yueniang has two sets of bright red brocade robes with sleeves all over the place, and four sets of makeup clothes. In the roll shed, Zhao Tailor was called. When Zhao Ju saw Ximenqing, he hurriedly kowtowed.
There were felt strips on the table, and I took out the scissors and made them for Yueniang first: a bright red brocade multicolored makeup sleeved jacket with Korean unicorns; A dark multicolored gold and silver trimmed gourd-like Luan Feng wears a flower robe; a set of bright red satin patched jackets covered with golden unicorns, and a wide floor-sweeping gold skirt in emerald blue; A champagne-colored gown with patches of brocade tulle and a mud dress with bright red gold branches and green leaves. The other four Li Jiao'er, Meng Yulou, Pan Jinlian, and Li Bei'er all made a big red multicolored sleeve makeup brocade robe, as well as two sets of makeup grosgrain clothes. Sun Xue'e only made two sets and did not make clothes for her. A total of thirty pieces of clothing were cut. He spent five taels of silver as a fee for making clothes. At the same time, more than 10 tailors were invited to process and make at home. That's it. The golden bell jade pendant is dressed as a beautiful girl.
