Cyan Lotus of Space Clearance

Chapter 18 New Year's Events

What a tragic house fight... that's just an imagination, except for An Min's not very good attitude when meeting each other, Su Yierha had a traditional Chinese New Year full of flavor.

On December [-]th, the day of Laba, she accompanied Zhang Jiashi to cook Laba porridge, and distributed it to relatives and friends, and won a lot of praise. This year's Laba porridge is better than previous years—mainly because the ingredients produced in the space are better.

On December [-]th, I followed Zhang Jia's to lead someone (to make a show, mainly Zhao Momo was doing it) to clean the room, clean the room? , Corner cobwebs, remove old New Year pictures, and paste New Year pictures.

On December 23rd, set up an altar after dinner, and set up candied melons to wait for the Stove Lord... In other words, offering sacrifices to the Stove was really a serious event in ancient times.There are no too young children in the house, otherwise there will be a lot of fun, there are so many sweet and fragrant things.

On December [-]th, post Spring Festival couplets, post door gods, post hanging money, set up a world table to worship ancestors (after the end, there will be family sacrifices), meet the God of Wealth, late Yan, keep the year, meet the gods at the time of the child, and eat dumplings at the time of the child ... Although there are many activities that are not suitable for girls to participate in, she can still feel the strong atmosphere. The new year is here!
From the first day of the first lunar month, her memory is full of sweet rice cakes and New Year greetings. By the way, there are still many relatives. Who said that Lingzhu's family is declining at the starting point of Jinjiang? It's a lie. My aunt's, and those of my uncles and aunts, seeing her almost had leg cramps...

Fortunately, Niu Hulu's family doesn't have many sisters who are close to her age, otherwise she would have been invited to communicate frequently with the invited places.

It's good to marry early, but it's also good to be born late!Didn't she have to follow the new Nanny Gui to learn the rules in the rest of the time?This time, I learned some court rules and etiquette specifically for the draft, as well as miscellaneous taboos and endless information... It's really worse than the college entrance examination!
Fortunately, she has space. Staying inside for one night is equivalent to seven or eight days outside. It is very suitable for reviewing, laziness, and regulating emotions... Because of this, she is not in the mood to start her space exploration for the time being.You know, the closer the draft is, the closer her marriage will be. God knows, she has never been married in her previous life, and she is still with such a big man. That person has a good impression, but it is still very stressful, really, a lot of pressure.

The frightening thing is that the greater the pressure, the more she needs to do something to divert her attention or distract her energy. Therefore, she writes more and more calligraphy with a calligraphy brush and gets better and better, and more and more embroidered pictures... Even The Eight Horses are all out!
After the hottest few days of the new year, Su Yierha gradually returned to her calm and orderly life.

When Chunyu came in, Su Yierha was seriously tracing the characters, and Danmo waited on him.

"What's the matter?" Su Yierha put down his pen.

"My wife asked someone to send me a post."

"Post?" Su Yierha took it and took a look. It turned out to be a post from Prince Yu's mansion, inviting famous ladies and relatives in Beijing to enjoy the snow. "Admiring the snow again?" A lot of black lines slid down the forehead, isn't there a bit too many parties about enjoying the snow and plums recently?Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince An's Mansion... Now there is Prince Yu's Mansion again.

Su Yierha will know that this Prince Yu really owes the blessings of the eighth elder brother. Many Qingchuan novels say that Prince Yu has a good impression of the eighth elder brother. Before he died, he praised Kangxi for his virtue. The prince's son and others were repeatedly deprived of titles after Yongzheng ascended the throne because of his attachment to the eighth elder brother.It turns out that in her mind, those who are destined to be on the blacklist have to stay as far away as possible, but Ling Zhu's cousin Borja's daughter Minyun—An Min's rival—just happened to be in the last draft. Zhong was accused of giving Baotai, the eldest son of Prince Yu, as Shu Fujin.

It sounds like this Minyun is smart and shrewd, not to mention beautiful, she has been a celebrity since she was a child, and she is also well-known in the circle of celebrities in Beijing. She gave birth to Prince Yu's son a year later Little elder brother (how many women are not so lucky), the flirtatious temperament who is famous for his protection in the capital can actually get along well in Prince Yu's mansion, which makes An Min drool with envy—swears that he will marry better than him. She's okay... Khan!

I don't have much impression of this woman, Su Yierha, and people who can establish a relationship with An Min like an enemy or a friend probably don't think much of her... But why are they posting to her now?Could it be that she was specially asked to be a wallflower and a foil?
The ladies' party held by the Prince's Mansion is held every year, but ladies who are too high-ranking, have insufficient family background, and are not talented enough to be famous are rarely invited.

This kind of activity is held frequently before the draft, which is basically a group blind date or a small draft of Chiguoguo, which is used to promote fame and choose a wife.

It’s too high-level, daughters of fourth-rank Beijing officials like Su Yierha and An Min can only be used as wallflowers in the background, not to mention that she was not invited a few times before, even if she was invited, she would not go .

But Zhang Jia's fever recently?So she was asked to go out to "see the world", and she could receive this post. I think the eldest son Shu Fujin contributed a lot... This kind of face is specially given for the sake of relatives, and if she refuses, she should be said so... Bar.

Forget it, let's take it easy, and follow Zhang Jiashi for the whole new year, and after the new year, under the guidance of Nanny Gui, I will intensify my efforts to fight for the "beautiful girl course", so that I will have no trouble going out in the future. "when?"

"Just three days later."

The tenth day of the first lunar month.

"You prepare clothes and jewelry for me, and some gifts for children. Prince Yu's son seems to have a lot of children..." Ever since I asked Chun Yu and Qiu Shi in private, I knew that Chun Yu didn't want to marry and serve her for the rest of her life After thinking about it, she gradually revealed some private things to her.

This baby has a rough background, and her father is said to have read a few books, and later married a wealthy Yue family. After getting funding, he also passed the exam to be a scholar, but unfortunately, after getting the ambition, he gave birth to a common problem that men all over the world have—— ——lusty, the maid next to the wife who stole food, and then the maid became pregnant, the matter was exposed, the maid was fined and then became a housekeeper, life was worse than cattle and horses, and the situation after giving birth to the spring rain It was getting worse every year. When she was five years old, her father's wife finally sold their mother and daughter on the grounds that they were not good enough to live on. No longer, she can't get a little pity from the man) failed, the illness was exacerbated, and the anger was despaired, so she went there immediately!Even so, Chun Yu did not escape the fate of being sold...

"Fortunately, I was sold here. My wife and girls are very kind to Chunyu... Chunyu's life here is more than a hundred times better than at home. Chunyu has thought about it. Chunyu does not want to marry, nor does she want to be a dowry maid. I want to serve the girl by my side for the rest of my life, and I beg her to be fulfilled."

Dare she see through the world and have thought of being single for a long time?Su Yierha's mind is full of black lines, and she is surrounded by people who are more modern than her, Zhang Jia's family is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with a wealthy family, Chun Yu wants to rely on her own ability to embrace celibacy, Lian Qiu In fact, at such a young age, he chose his favorite Lin Feng and wanted to be his dowry... only me, a follower, I am so ashamed.

"Yes." Chun Yu is smart. After the girl asked her about her thoughts on the future, the wife and Zhao Momo talked to her again. The meaning in the words was "loyalty can't be said, usually for the girl." "Think more, watch more" She always felt that there were other unpredictable meanings... She didn't ask much, and slowly, she found out herself - this discovery is of course the girl and wife's trust in her is deeper , willing to be known by her.

Perhaps it was because she was bought from outside, not a family-born child, but Zhang Jia believed it even more, so she pointed the little girl to Su Yierha's side, saying that she took care of her more and accompanied this Niu Hulu The second girl in the mansion grew up. Over the years, she has taken care of this honest and gentle girl as her master and younger sister, and she has devoted deep affection to her. She thinks she knows her very well... However, this kind of understanding changed after the girl fell into the pond and was rescued by her and became seriously ill. These changes are good. The girl has become more beautiful, her temperament seems to be more flexible, and her temper seems to be lighter, although the appearance is still the same. Ever mild.However, now it seems that this change is more than that, even the wife knows it and cannot tell others. The girl may have special abilities that she doesn't know and may be envied by others, such as these exquisite things that the girl asked her to put away. Purse and sachet, as her personal maid, Chunyu has never seen her take out and make it, why there is such a pile all of a sudden?Looking at stitches is indeed what girls do...

She didn't ask, she was used to the life of what to say and what not to say, what to ask and what not to ask, maybe one day, the girl will tell her, or let her find out by herself.

I took a purse embroidered with blessing dolls and packed two lovely silver zodiac signs, and picked a few embroidered patterns such as Lucky Ruyi, Magpie Dengmei, and Red Plum Yingxue, etc., and put them together. I picked a few from the purse that I made by myself on weekdays and sent by a needleworker, and packed them as spares.

After she took out the clothes she had chosen, Su Yierha walked in: "Don't want the one with the black collar and golden mottled pattern, don't take the cloak either, pick the autumn yellow cheongsam with gold and white devil railings, Just add the gown with sheepskin turned over and trimmed with three-color pleats rolled in silver satin, and for the cloak, just choose the azure cloud-patterned cloak."

"Girl." Chun Yu said disapprovingly, "The eldest girl has also received the post, and she is going to wear that cloak!" And the girl picked out all the well-regulated fashion clothes, and she stopped among the ladies. Where else can it be revealed?

"It's not a good thing to be in the limelight in that kind of place!" Not to mention stealing the master's fame, but also offending those valuable people.Besides, she didn't want to attract attention.

"Okay, let's make this decision. You will ask someone to deal with the clothes you are going to wear, and you will remind me when the time comes. By the way, you should mention this matter to Gui Momo to see if she wants to go with her or not." How about it."

"Yes." Thinking of Nanny Gui, Chun Yu didn't say anything anymore. She also learned some rules from Nanny Gui, and heard about some shady incidents among the nobles in the palace. His temperament is also more majestic.

"Girl, do you think it's good to wear these kinds of jewelry that day?" Chunyu picked out some elegant ones from the jewelry box to show Su Yierha according to the color and style of the clothes.

Su Yierha took a look, the pearl earrings, pearl flowers made of small pearls, simple and elegant, suitable for girls to wear, not too eye-catching, not bad!She nodded, and then felt a headache from the ancient people's elegant behavior when they usually had a few paintings or poems for a party of viewing flowers and snow...

I can't recall any poems about snow in "Dream of Red Mansions". It's okay to paint, but she doesn't want to move the pen for a long time and put it in front of people for criticism. Let's think about some poems about snow in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, so I can deal with it .
