After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 9 "Don't be too flamboyant"

I just had a very grand banquet at noon, and in the evening, the dishes became much lighter. Fortunately, the chef of the Hou Mansion is good at cooking, even if it is just a simple porridge and side dishes, it tastes special.

During the banquet, Xue Shu had no chance to move her chopsticks at all. As long as her eyes stopped for a while, three pairs of chopsticks would put the dishes into her bowl in unison. She couldn't eat anymore.

Qingyu knew how much she ate, and when she saw her leaning back in the chair, she knew she had eaten too much, so she left the flower hall lightly, and when she came back, she was holding a cup of clear red hawthorn juice in her hand.

Xue Shu took a sip of the hawthorn juice, and gave Qingyu an approving look.

This girl is clearly coming to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and she doesn't know where she got the hawthorn juice, she is really clever.

Everyone has been together for a long time today, and the things that should be said have already been finished, and keeping Xue Shu for dinner is just to cherish her for a while.

But Xue Shu was already tired from visiting the garden today, and after sitting for a long time, her face showed tiredness. Xue Lu saw it and took the two brothers and sisters home. Anyway, they will be able to see each other again after two days of harem banquet. .

Although Zhenbeihou's family was reluctant, they couldn't bear to see Xue Shuqiang sitting there in high spirits, so they had to send the mother and daughter to the carriage eagerly, and then watched the carriage go away.

Xue Shu was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the way. When she got home, she couldn't cry anymore. In the end, Xue Chen gently carried her out and sent her back to Yuegui Xiaozhu.

In the morning of the second day, Xue Shu woke up in her room, was stunned for a moment, then got up and called Qingyu.

"Girl, Mama Zhang has brought over the clothes for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Miss, would you like to have a look?" Qingyu walked into the room and only put the bed curtain back, not in a hurry to dress her up. Made clothes, the slaves have never seen it before! Open it and have a look, girl—"

Xue Shu nodded, and Qingyu hurriedly turned around and went out, asking someone to bring the box in.

A mahogany box carved with sweet-scented osmanthus patterns, and a seal of Qiluofang was pasted on it.

Qiluofang is the No. [-] clothing workshop in the capital. There are hundreds of embroiderers with superb skills. Among them, Miss Chun is the most powerful. The clothes made by her are even comparable to the embroiderers in the palace.

But Mrs. Chun has a weird temper and a noble personality, so she doesn't want to bother making clothes for the noble girls in Beijing.

I don't know what method Xue Lu used to invite her.

Qingyu stepped forward and tore off the seal, carefully took the clothes out of the box, and hung them on the hangers again, for fear that her hands and feet would be a little heavy and ruin the clothes.

There are three pieces of this set of clothes, one is a light yellow gown with a stand-up collar and wide sleeves, with several osmanthus flowers embroidered on the cuffs on both sides.

There is also a turquoise horse-face skirt. The embroidery on the skirt is much more complicated than that of the gown. It is embroidered with a circle of jade rabbits worshiping the moon. The jade rabbits are all vivid. If you look closely, even the hair on the jade rabbit's body can be seen. .

The third piece is a scorpion, the color is the same as the ripe persimmon on the branch.Like the long gown, only some sweet-scented osmanthus patterns are embroidered on it, which is simple and lively.

"It's really Madam Chun's handicraft..." Qingyu was stunned for a while, and unconsciously wanted to reach out to touch those exquisite embroidery, but just touched the clothes, she shrank as if she had been stung return.

Qingyu clenched her troubled right hand into a fist, cursing herself for overstepping in her heart, turned her head a little uneasy, and seeing Xue Shu looking at her with a smile in her eyes, she knew that her master didn't take this matter to heart, so she relaxed He took a deep breath, stood where he was and smirked twice.

Xue Shu shook her head helplessly, and said, "Stop laughing, put away your clothes quickly, your girl will starve to death."

The cup of hawthorn juice last night was really helpful, she almost woke up from hunger this morning.

"Yes!" Qingyu said, being extremely careful again, put the clothes back into the box, and then returned to her usual neat appearance, walked briskly out of the bedroom, and came back with two food boxes in a short while up.

After breakfast, Xue Shu moved to a nest and lay down on the concubine's couch under the corridor.

Xue Shu looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard and was lost in thought again.

In the palace banquet in the previous life, she also wore the clothes made by Mrs. Chun herself.

It's just that at that time, she thought that Xue Lu's meaning was to ask her to attract Sheng Gu's attention and grasp this marriage well.

Now it seems that her thoughts at that time were probably wrong.

It is estimated that Xue Lu didn't take the marriage of Changshenghou's mansion into consideration from the very beginning. Mrs. Tuochun made clothes for her in order to see other people at the palace banquet. Unfortunately, I was too stupid in my previous life to make mistakes. understood.

Xue Shu was worried and let out a long sigh.

In her previous life, she was entrusted to inhuman beings, and she almost lost her own life, leaving a knot in her heart ever since.

Now, no matter which man she meets, she feels that she is untrustworthy. She just wants to stay away from all men, and she is unwilling to take a second look, let alone sit together and watch each other.

Xue Shu sighed again, only thinking that there would be troubles at the palace banquet in the future.

Forget it, right now she can only be blocked by soldiers, and covered by water and earth. Fortunately, there is no Chu Chu at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet this time, so she doesn't have to worry that she will suddenly lose her mind. When the time comes, she will naturally have a countermeasure.

-

The two days passed like running water in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the palace banquet, although Xue Shu had told her many times, "Don't make too much publicity", Qing Yu seemed to be unable to hear her. The genius just pulled her out of the bed, and called two or three dexterous girls So, bathe and change her clothes, clean her face and make up, without ambiguity at all.

Xue Shu had no choice but to close her eyes, like a marionette, and let them play with her.

After more than an hour, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the Linghua mirror to Xue Shu with a smile: "Girl! Look! How beautiful!"

Xue Shu took the Linghua mirror and glanced at it.

The woman in the mirror is lightly applying makeup, sweeping her eyebrows lightly, her makeup is not heavy, but it looks more aura, which is suitable for her age like a flower.

However, it was difficult for Xue Shu to feel amazed by her own face, she just nodded lightly, then handed the Linghua mirror back to Qingyu, urging her to change her clothes quickly.

Qingyu pouted, and told the other female envoys in the room to back down, and just like yesterday, she carefully took out the clothes from the expensive mahogany box, and put them on for Xue Shu one by one.

Xue Shu was born with slender shoulders and a thin waist, but wearing such a set of clothes made her look even more slender and extraordinary.

After changing Xue Shu's clothes, Qingyu couldn't take her eyes away.

Just at this moment, Xue Lu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Xue Shu's attire, she immediately rolled her eyes with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, my son will definitely shine today, outshine everyone else!"

Xue Shu smiled on the face, but felt bitter in her heart.

She didn't want to show any publicity at all.

Xue Lushi didn't know what was going on in her mind, so she walked around her several times, admiring her continuously, until Zhang's mother came to remind her, and then she started to talk about the business: "I have to go to the palace ahead of time, after you enter the palace today Pay special attention to etiquette and rules, and don't let people hold any handles on these details."

Xue Lu and the empress had always been on good terms, and whenever there was a palace banquet to be held in the palace, they would always enter the palace ahead of time to help the empress with some trivial matters.

"Yes, mother and daughter know." Xue Shu nodded.

Xue Lu was still worried, and asked several times before she was willing to leave. Before leaving, she rewarded Qing Yu and several other maids who dressed Xue Shu with a lot of silver. Such an atmosphere contagiously put away the uneasiness in my heart for the time being.
