boudoir

Chapter 57
Since she was going to celebrate Yu Shi's birthday, she must not dress too plainly. When she got up early, Rui'er took a newly sewn set of smoky-colored jacket and trousers for Liuli to put on, and covered it with a long waistcoat with silver satin trimmed with white fur. There are also two small velvet flowers on the head.

Liuli found a small wooden box to put the golden silk butterfly in, and stuffed it into the sleeve.

Nanny Li also got up early, and after Liuli drank the dispelling cold soup to warm her body, she also yawned and pushed the door in.

"Mommy got up early today." Seeing Liuli lowering her head and straightening her clothes, Rui'er reluctantly greeted her, fearing that something might happen to her again.

Nanny Li said: "Today I will accompany the girl to the front yard, you stay inside."

Now even Liuli raised her head, "Are you going?"

Nanny Li raised her eyelids and said, "I am your nunnery, so naturally I should be by your side at any time! Today is Da Furen's birthday, if you don't know the rules and lose some manners, wouldn't it be bad luck for Madam !"

Liuli stared at her for a while, then said with a smile, "Okay."

Nanny Li snorted and went out to wash up.Rui'er was a little worried, she wrung her hands back and forth, Liu Li said: "It's fine if you don't go, my calligraphy should have been framed, you take this opportunity to get it back."

Rui'er had no choice but to agree.

After Nanny Li finished washing, Liuli set off with her to the front yard.Before dawn, people in the courtyards and corridors were turning off the lights one after another, clasping their hands and stomping their feet, exhaling white steam.

The gate of the main courtyard was already open, and the maids came in and out, obviously waiting for the old lady to get up.Liuli was never the first one to arrive, nor the latest one. She walked around the screen wall and went up the veranda, and met three or four maids accompanied by one of them. The next one is a black background inlaid with sapphires on the forehead, pink face and peach cheeks, elegant and luxurious, but the cloud brocade jacket with flowing colors and dark patterns is slightly loose, and one hand rests lightly on the back of the waist, showing a bit of laziness.

Liuli recognized that this was Xie Shi, He Tingyu's daughter-in-law and grandmother, so she hurriedly took two steps aside, waiting for her to go first.Unexpectedly, Grandma Li greeted her with a smile when she saw her: "Yo, Grandma is here today too, so watch your steps carefully!"

Seeing that she was about to reach out to help her, the woman on Xie's left slapped her hand off: "What are you doing? Is the big grandma's body something you can touch casually? Turning around, the little brother in my stomach is out." What's wrong, can you afford it!"

Nanny Li was robbed of whiteness by her, and her old face suddenly turned blue.

Mrs. Xie squinted at her, and walked straight away.

Liuli smiled and walked to Mother Li: "Let's go!"

Because the two young grandmothers in the mansion were pregnant one after another, they were exempted from going to the main courtyard to pay their respects on the 25th day of the first day. Today, Mrs. Xie is here, and Mrs. Wang, the second grandmother, must be here too.

Liuli intentionally lagged behind, and waited until Mrs. Xie entered the main room, then slowly walked to the door and let Nanny Li close the curtain.

Second Mistress really came, and she was very enthusiastic when she saw Mrs. Xie. After she saw the ceremony, she greeted her with a big belly.All the female family members of the long room came, the Liang family, Wang family and Shuhua came from the second room, the Liu family and Huanhua from the Ning family came from the third room, and the Nie family came from the fourth room. My aunt also came to join in the fun.

Mrs. Yu is dressed today, with black velvet inlaid with eight treasures and emeralds on her head and a large forehead. On the single snail bun, there is a red emerald dripping bead and a phoenix-headed golden step in the middle. Red plum and gold thread hollowed out bead flowers, and two gold thread pinched enamel Huasheng.

On the earlobes are a pair of oriental pearls, and on her body is a brocade jacket in palace attire, covered in emerald pearls, which is beyond words.He was rolling up his sleeves to give the old lady a handkerchief.Mrs. Nie said from the side: "You are a birthday star today, so I won't work on you! Just grab one from your eldest room and work as an errand!" He said with a smile and pulled Aunt Su out from behind her.

Aunt Su smiled and said: "Of course! Aunt Chen and I originally planned to wait for Madam to wake up this morning, but Madam was faster than us and came to the main courtyard early, but we missed it!"

Liu Li looked at her, obviously she had a good body, but today she only added two more jewelry than usual, and changed into a scarlet pomegranate dress, her makeup was still light, standing next to Mrs Yu, it was easy to see who was high or low.On the other hand, Suhua's biological mother, Aunt Chen, was much more gorgeously dressed. Hearing what Aunt Su said, she also rolled up the sleeves of the crimson embroidered jacket, smiling and coming to beat her up.The old lady looked at Biyun with a smile on her face, and then Biyun supported Aunt Chen's arms and asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "My aunt, you can just sit and accompany your wife, if it is really long The people in the room are all labored, aren't we guilty?"

Yu looked at Aunt Chen with a smile, put her arms around her three-year-old eldest sister Rui Min and fed her almonds.

Liuli came forward to greet her, Yu Shi hummed as usual, and stopped talking to her.

Li Momo had restrained herself a lot from Xie's eyes just now, she stepped forward to salute while the glass came down, "This old slave congratulates Da Furen on her long life!"

Before Mrs. Yu spoke, Mrs. Nie, who had finished serving the old lady, came over and said, "Mother Li is the guest of Prince Yu's Mansion, come and serve tea for Mrs. Yu!"

In front of the old lady, she dared to say a word to serve tea to a servant, but both the old lady and Mrs. Yu laughed, they didn't take it seriously, and turned their attention to other things in a blink of an eye.On the contrary, Bi Yun was narrow-minded, turned around and called the little maid to make tea, and offered it to Nanny Li with her own hands: "Who is Nanny? She is someone who can speak well in Prince Yu's mansion, and is worthy of our bowl of tea." Tea!"

Even though it was a joke, Nanny Li half pushed and half accepted, her face couldn't help but blush!Seeing Biyun's head raised, the maidservants next to him also booed one after another, making the main room steamy in the cold winter months.

Suhua heartlessly clapped her hands and laughed, Yuhua looked at him coldly, and spit out a sentence: "Bitch is everywhere!" I don't know who he was referring to.

The people who were absent from the fun gradually arrived, and Liuli paid special attention to Mrs. Qi. I don't know what kind of mentality she will have to attend in such a day when Mrs. Yu is the protagonist?Although she lives far away in the back garden, she has heard from time to time how the servants secretly speculated about the deaths of Cui Tian and her husband. Now it is Yu Shi who bears Cui Ying's life, while Tian'er's death falls on Qi Shi.Liuli still prefers that Tian'er was killed by Mrs. Qi, because after Rui'er confessed that Tian'er injured her, Mrs. Yu became the biggest suspect. Tian'er's death at this time will definitely create the illusion that Mrs. Yu killed her. , and besides the Qi family, who else would this person be?
However, Liuli's heart admired Qi's performance after her arrival. It's not that she put a lot of thought into dressing up today, but that she didn't show any signs of worrying about the past when she saw Mrs. Yu. It's fine to make fun of her, but in fact, not only is she not angry or smiling, but she is no different from her usual ordinary appearance-this is rare, a person who can pretend to be indifferent to the world will never be a Simple role.

After everyone arrived, they began to celebrate the birthday of the birthday man. The housewives did not have to get up, so they called the maids to offer the birthday gift, and then the young masters went up to say the birthday speech first.

Aunt Wanhua also sent a birthday card, Yuhua read it out, Yu Shi rewarded the visitor, and asked her to bring a gift in return.

Then there are the girls in the house.

In addition to the congratulatory gifts from the aunts, as Ruier inquired, Min Hua made a plate of longevity peaches and a plate of longevity cakes, and Su Hua made a string of sandalwood beads on her hands. I bought a pair of brocade pillows, and Yanhua a pair of embroidered shoes.Yuhua didn't know what to give, so he didn't show it out in public.All in all, Mrs. Yu was very happy, and even the maids who presented it got a reward.

On the rankings soon arrived in Huanhua, this was the first time Liuli saw her after she recovered from her illness. After careful grooming, her spirits were still in good shape, and her complexion also recovered. But if you look carefully, there is a bit of sadness in her eyes, no doubt As lively as when we first met.

When she came over, she also glanced at Liuli, but her eyes quickly moved away. When she came to Mrs. Yu, she lifted her skirt and knelt down, and said, "Huan'er wishes my auntie blessings like Donghai and Shoubi Nanshan! I recently learned painting, I made a pair of round fans, and the picture shows the birthday boy picking peaches, please take it from my aunt."

Caiping presented the round fan up. From Liuli's point of view, it was only passable and not very impressive, but Yu accepted it with a smile, looked at it repeatedly, and praised: "Huan'er's painting skills have improved. Good!" Make an exception and ask Hongxiu to reward her with two slings of money, which is different than the maids around other girls.

Liuli went to see Mrs. Qi, and saw that she was still calm and clear. It seemed that Huanhua's respect for Mrs. Yu was taken for granted.If it wasn't for Liang's and Nie's silently looking at the performance of the two, Liu Li would almost have thought that it was someone else who had been blushing in the small gourd yard not long ago!

After Huanhua went to Liuli, everyone also looked over tacitly, waiting to see what kind of performance the new Nine Girls would have.Liuli knelt down and said her congratulations, and after a short pause, she took out a two-inch square wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Nanny Li.Nanny Li curled her lips after receiving it: "I don't expect any reward!"

Walking up to Mrs Yu and handing over the wooden box, seeing the eyes of the people around them shining like lanterns one by one, I also felt embarrassed, so I smiled shyly and said to Mrs Yu: "Ms. If the slave discusses it—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard hissing noises from all around her, and when she took a closer look, it turned out that Mrs. Yu had already opened the box and took out the contents.

This look almost blinded her old eyes!

What was taken out of the wooden box turned out to be a golden butterfly half the size of a palm!The workmanship of this golden butterfly is very delicate, the whole body is made of twined gold wire the size of a hair, and there are many small rubies on the wings, and the two eyes are even decorated with two sapphires the size of mung beans.

In terms of value, such a congratulatory gift is enough to pay her ten birthday wishes.

Like everyone else, Yu's eyes flashed with disbelief. It's not that he has never seen such a good thing, but such a good thing should not appear in the hands of an illegitimate daughter.She lifted Huasheng up and asked Liuli, "Where did you come from?"
