The He family also received a post sent by someone from the Chen family.
Madam He is now far away from the Chen family and will not pay attention to Chen Zhi's marriage.
Now that she saw Chen Zhi getting engaged, she still asked the daughter-in-law who sent the post and found out that the person she was dating was Xu.
Take someone else’s daughter.
After sending the servants of the Chen family away, Mrs.
He threw the post aside and said to Mrs.
Shen, "Just go with me then.
Don't ask the girls to go, it will be noisy."
Shen said, "My mother and I have gone to the same place."
Chen Zhi's engagement banquet was on the twelfth lunar month.
It was still early and the He family didn't care.
At this time, He Zijin and the third girl were trying on newly made dresses.
These days, except for the clothes of wealthy families, ordinary people make their own clothes.
Needless to say, the third girl was gifted with a pair of skillful hands by He Zijin.
After several years of training, although her work was not as good as that of the third girl, it was still impressive.
The material of this dress was also bought by Miss He Zijin from the prefecture.
It was either silk or brocade, or high-quality cotton.
When He Zijin chooses materials, she doesn't care whether they are silk or satin.
Moreover, the best jacquards are too expensive, so she chooses plain dyed materials.
She doesn't care about anything else, just because the materials feel comfortable in her hands.
Uncomfortable, does it feel good?
Whether it sticks to the body or not, there was also the time when the silk material looked shiny and smooth to the touch, but it was just angular.
Even if it was made into clothes, it would be easy to see.
It seemed that the material was just for the sake of face and not good at all.
How much money did someone buy it for?
By the way, Mrs.
He used to have two pieces of clothes like that, which looked like armor, and He Zijin often snickered.
In short, the materials that He Zijin and the third girl bought were better than the best, and they were definitely comfortable to wear.
Clothes made of such materials are no more luxurious than jacquard weaving, but embroidering them yourself is not ugly either.
The third girl is suitably fat and thin, wearing a vermillion double-breasted cotton robe with a white silk cotton skirt.
The skirt is only a foot long, with a red plum embroidered diagonally, which is dignified and festive.
He Zijin is young and wears a pomegranate red slant-breasted short jacket and a primrose-colored long skirt.
The hem of the skirt is trimmed with a half-foot-wide pomegranate red border, and three inches above it is trimmed with a narrower pomegranate red border.
The veneer is embroidered with primrose-colored embroidery thread.
The plum blossom pattern is a simple pattern, not like the finely embroidered plum blossoms on the skirt of the third girl.
It is just a simple circle pattern with no color changes, so it is very fast to embroider.
He Zijin has always been slow, and it only took two days.
It's done.
The short coat is trimmed with an inch-wide strip of primrose-colored material on the diagonal placket.
A narrow sky-blue belt is tied at the end of the diagonal placket under the armpits, and a narrow waist is cut here, with sky-blue silk strands hanging on the waist.
The long tassels hang down.
He Zijin is wearing a high-waisted coat skirt.
Although she is short, she looks very well proportioned when she wears it like this, and her whole body seems to be elongated.
The colors of her clothes are lively and somewhat innocent.
Her hair is braided into a double bun, with two red hair ropes hanging down like bows, and her hair is decorated with small red plum blossom silk flowers, which is very cute.

When Mrs.
Shen saw that her daughter had no gold or silver on her head, she smiled and said, "It looks good this way, but I can't wear a hairpin."
He Zijin smiled, "It's not appropriate for me to wear a hairpin when I comb my hair like this.
This is good."
He Zijin is cute and cute, while the third girl is dressed up in a dignified way.
She is at a slim age and has a lot of hair.
She wears a simple bun with a golden hairpin and a begonia.
Silk flowers have the charm of a girl that cannot be concealed.
Mrs.
Shen looked at the two girls, feeling very happy, and said to Miss He, "This is not to boast, the girls in our family are better than those in other families."
The children are all her own, and Mrs.
He was happy to see them.
"That's very true."
She said to Mrs.
Shen, "Have you got the small jewelry I asked you to buy earlier?"
Mrs.
Shen said, "It was delivered to the silversmith's shop yesterday."
Ling Cui'er went to the room to get it.
Suddenly, Cui'er brought two lacquered red boxes, and Shen opened them.
They were filled with glittering gold jewelry.
He Zijin was almost blinded, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Why did you hit me like this?"
Lots of gold jewelry” Mrs.
Shen pursed her lips and smiled, and Mrs.
He smiled, "You are so beautiful."
Shen said this, "I can't beat the gold one yet, this one is gilded."
Gilt means gold plating.
He Zijin picked up a rose hairpin.
The rose was so lifelike.
With this craftsmanship and gilding technology, ordinary people would not be able to tell that it was gilded.
The third girl said, "To do so much at once will cost a lot of gold."
Madam He suddenly met her close friend and said, "No, it cost eight taels of silver to get these two boxes of things."
Mrs.
Shen smiled, "Although our family can't afford gold, you are old enough to go out, and it doesn't look good with bald hair.
Let's play with this first.
I will slowly buy some jewelry for you later."
He Zijin was naturally optimistic, contented and happy, and smiled, "This is very good.
If I wear a real gold one, I'm afraid of accidentally losing it."
As he said this, he brushed two gilt bracelets and put them on his wrists.
The third girl was also very happy, and she and He Zijin each took a box of gilt jewelry back to their room.
When the hired car arrived, Mrs.
He said to them, "There are so many new jewelry, why don't you wear two more pieces?"
He Zijin pointed to the shining gold grape earrings on his ears and said, "Isn't this the case?"
The third girl also had plum blossom pendants on her ears, and they each wore a gilt ring on their hands.
However, Mrs.
He was not very satisfied and said, "The hair on the head is very plain, but it's not like there is nothing there.

I need to put seven or eight hairpins on it."
It looks noble.”
He Zijin said, "Grandma, don't be so old-fashioned.
Look at our hair, which is so dark, so shiny, and so beautiful.
We just need jewelry to set it off.
Except for those who have bad hair and don't know how to dress up, who would wear gold and silver on their heads?"
What a bumpkin.”
Madam He said, "I think you are a shaobao guy."
The grandfather and grandson exchanged cross talk, and Mrs.
Shen smiled, "The car is here, take Cui'er with you."
The Hu family had been there once before, and now it felt like they were familiar with each other.
When we arrived at the main gate of the Hu family, a wife still ushered us in.
At the second gate, we were replaced by a more respectable steward wife.
We passed through the moon gate and passed through the long corridor until we reached a courtyard facing north and south, which is Mrs.
Hu's residence. .
The main room has a structure of three lights and three dark parts.
The little maid outside opened a bright red cotton felt curtain.
As soon as the third girl He Zijin entered the door, she smelled a sweet and warm fragrance, and the cheerful chatter and laughter came from the room.
Passing around a large red sandalwood screen, the room became extraordinarily open, which was exactly where Mrs.
Hu was when she came to pay her birthday that day.
A maid informed, "Miss He and Miss Jiang are here."
Mrs.
Hu smiled, "Please come quickly."
The third girl He Zijin hurriedly went over to greet Mrs.
Hu.
The four girls from the Hu family came forward one after another.
The second girl Hu smiled and said, "Although we saw my grandfather at the birthday party, we didn't get to talk easily.
I also have camellias at home.
I’ll invite you to see it later.”
Miss Hu said angrily, "When it comes to flowers, you can't stop talking."
She led Miss He Zijin to meet other people in the room.
Mrs.
Hu is from the grandmother's generation, and she is married to her granddaughter-in-law.
It is time to call her old lady, but for some reason the title has not been changed.
Therefore, Mrs.
Hu is still a wife.
The two daughters-in-law are also the ones who have to marry their son.
They are still from the grandmother generation.
One is the second grandmother and the other is the third grandmother.
The eldest grandmother of the Hu family is working as an official away from home with her husband and is not at home.
However, this eldest girl is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, and she is waiting to be married in her hometown.
Her husband’s family is talking about the famous Zhang family in the state capital.
Although the Zhang family is not as good as the Ning family, there are also officials in the court, and they are also the state capital.
A famous scholarly family.
Back to the subject, the Second Mistress looked at the forty or so people.

There were a few silver threads on the temples, which were slightly rounded.
She had a quiet temper.
She just praised "good girl" and said nothing else.
The third grandma looks much younger than the second grandma.
She has crow-like hair, a bird's head and two beaded hairpins inserted in her hair.
She has a thin layer of makeup on her cheeks, and her youthful beauty can still be seen between her eyebrows. , almond-shaped eyes with a smile, Holding one hand with each other, he praised, "There were so many people that day that I didn't take a closer look.
It turns out that there really are such beautiful girls in the world.
In the past, I only said that eldest sister and the others are rare, but now that I have seen them, I know that there are people outside the world. where."
He Zijin smiled, "Third Grandma is from a common family.
In the past, we rarely saw country girls like us, so I think it's rare.
If you watch her for a few more days, I'm sure you'll know what a country girl is."
Everyone in the room was amused by He Zijin.
The third grandmother especially laughed happily and said to Mrs.
Hu, "Mom, have you seen that?
I can talk, but I'm not as good as this girl."
The third grandma smiled and said, "Good girl, if you are a fool, there is nowhere in this world that can be smart."
She personally took the two of them by the hand and introduced them to Aunt Hu, as well as Hu's daughter, Miss Zhao, and the four girls of the Hu family. , the third grandma laughed, "I think you already got to know my four girls and Yue'er that day.
From now on, we will have a lot of contact.
They don't have many playmates at home, so they have talked about you a lot."
He also asked He Zijin how old he was and whether he had ever studied.
Something like that.
He Zijin imitated Sister Lin's lines, "I just recognize a few words."
The third grandma immediately said, "It's strange that the Tao is so dexterous.
Girls who have studied are different.
Several girls in my family are also studying, so you will have more to say."
Miss Hu Er said, "Isn't that right?
Sister Xu used to come here.
This time the camellias have bloomed.
I wanted to invite Sister Xu to come and enjoy the flowers as well.
I don't want Sister Xu to come out after her marriage has been decided." ” The Hu family didn't say much about Miss Xu's engagement.
They met this group of ladies and grandmothers and talked for a while.
The girls from the Hu family and Miss Zhao invited Miss He Zijin to go to the garden to see the camellias. .
He Zijin raised flowers to make money.
A family like the Hu family would naturally have a lot of flowers and plants, but when he saw the blooming camellia tree in Hu's home, he still couldn't help but admire, "This tree must be hundreds of years old."
"Ba" The crown of the tea tree covers a corner of the garden, and hundreds of big red camellias are blooming on the tree.
Miss Hu smiled, "This tree was originally moved down from Furong Mountain by our ancestor Wen Xianggong when he was a child.
It has been more than two hundred years since it was moved to this garden."
He Zijin said, "It will be better to go to the former court at that time."
"The previous dynasty hadn't started yet, it was during the Dafeng Dynasty of Emperor Dezong."
Miss Hu Er said, "So, my camellia tree has gone through many vicissitudes."
The third girl looked at it again and again and said, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe that there is such a camellia tree in the world."
Miss Hu San is similar in age to He Zijin, and her eyebrows resemble the third wife.
Hearing what Miss San said, she couldn't help but smile, "Actually, my camellia tree is quite old, and it's a pretty sight in our Bishui County.
However, I heard that there is a rhododendron tree in the imperial capital, with a trunk as thick as an arm, and it blooms tens of thousands at a time, and it has a different style

"
He Zijin said, "It must be an ancient tree that is thousands of years old."
Miss Hu Si giggled and said, "There is a tree outside the tree."
Everyone laughed. gd1806102:
