The eighth day of April is the Buddha Bathing Day.
It is also Rong Zheng’s fifteenth birthday.
A girl's haircut means she has reached adulthood.
Princess Duanhui took the initiative to give Rongzheng a nice haircut gift.
This season is when peonies and peonies are in full bloom.
Duan Hui also felt that there were a few flowers in the villa, so he had to go to the gardener outside to buy dozens of pots of peonies and peonies to decorate the inside and outside of the Qingyin Pavilion with flowers.
Rong Zheng got up early.
Fucui brought a new dress that had been cut long ago and asked Rongzheng to wear it.
Rong Zheng took a look, she was the protagonist today and she should dress up beautifully.
In addition to the ceremony, I prepared a red brocade with gold all over, a silk quilt embroidered with honeysuckle patterns, and a pomegranate red skirt.
Rong Zheng looked at the red clothes and couldn't help but think of the auspicious suit she had only worn for one day.
Ruyi and Qiu Ci came in to help her dress up.
Danju came over, holding a long box filled with paint.
Fucui greeted him and said with a smile: "What can I do for Sister Danju?"
Danju bowed to Rongzheng and said with a smile: "The princess asked the slave to bring the gold hairpin that grandma will wear today."
Rong Zheng said hurriedly: "I will go over and thank the princess in a moment.
Princess, can you get up?"
Dan Ju said: "Grandma will come over later, the princess hasn't gotten up yet."
After Danju left, Fucui opened the box and asked Rongzheng to take a look.
Rong Zheng took a closer look and saw a red gold Man Chi Jiao double-stranded hairpin lying on the bright red velvet cloth.
They are all made of lotus leaves, mandarin ducks and carp patterns pinched with fine gold wire.
The feathers of the mandarin duck are clearly visible, and the eyes are embedded with dazzling rubies.
Weighing it in my hands, I found it weighed twelve taels.
"This is too expensive, how can I afford it?"
Rong Zheng couldn't help but admire.
Fu Cui said with a smile: "If Grandma can't bear it, no one can.
After all, it's the princess's wish.
Grandma should accept it.
If I give it back, I won't be able to find a second piece suitable for today."
The hairpin is worn.”
Fucui said, then closed the box and handed it to Ruyi to keep.
Seeing that the guests hadn't arrived yet and it was still early for the auspicious time to salute, Rong Zheng ordered her maid to change her into a homely, semi-old dress for the time being and put her arm in a bun.
Wearing a Nanzhu hoop, a pink peony the size of a wine glass was pinned to her temples.
Apply powder lightly.
She took a look at herself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's do this for now, and then dress up again when it's time to salute."
When Duan Hui saw Rong Zheng's outfit, she was a little surprised and said: "Today is a good day for you, why are you dressed so plainly?"
Rongzheng looked down at the silver-red trousers that she had only worn three or four times, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me, Princess, I thought the guests haven't come yet.
Dress up for the occasion first, and then change into the tailored new ones when it's time to bow."
Clothes."
Duan Hui said with a smile: "You are too small-minded.
Look at me, a widow, and I don't wear the same clothes.
You should buy some clothes."
Although the Rong family has its own property and is living a comfortable life, the Rong family is not like that spendthrift family.
Although they are particular about food and clothing, the girls' clothes are not the same every day.
Rong Zheng pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to change my past habits."

"It's okay.
You are young and it's time to dress up properly.
It just so happens that your family also owns a cloth shop, and you are more familiar with fabrics and stuff than me.
Make some new clothes, and don't be able to dress up even when you are old.
Get up."
Rongzheng expresses his gratitude to Princess Duanhui for the golden hairpin.
Duan Hui waved her hand and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, this is not the hairpin I chose.
It was Junhua who asked me to keep it temporarily and take it out for you to wear today."
It's him.
No wonder he chose Manchijiao's style.
Duan Hui continued: "He is really thoughtful.
The things he chose are quite beautiful.
They look pretty good to me, but I don't know if you like them or not."
Rong Zheng nodded quickly and said, "I like it, I like it very much."
The invited guests arrived one after another.
Grandpa Qi's family, Mrs.
Li brought Li Wuniang, and the Crown Princess came unexpectedly with Bao Wen and Bao Lu.
Jinxiuyuan set up a stage and invited the famous Kun Troupe and Deyin Troupe from Bianliang City to sing the opera.
There is a princess sitting in the Jinxiu Courtyard.
When guests come, Rong Zheng just shows his face and goes up to say hello.
She mainly greets young girls here at Qingyin Hall.
Mu Baowen walked over, saw Fifteenth Mother, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Fifteenth Mother, your mother-in-law is here, why are you hiding here?
Why don't you go and see her soon."
Li Wuniang's face turned red and she hesitated: "Huh, you're making fun of me again."
Mu Baowen put her hands on her hips and smiled: "How dare I make fun of you?
Your mother-in-law is really here."
She went to look for Rong Zheng again, and saw Rong Zheng talking to the young lady of the Qi family.
She couldn't help shouting: "Sister-in-law, from the Cui family The wife is here."
Rongzheng and Yunxia said a few words before walking over and saying to Fifteenth Niang: "Let's go to meet your mother-in-law together."
The fifteenth mother became more and more squeamish.
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Mrs.
Li is watching the show in front.
Mrs.
Cui must know that you are here too.
It's not a good idea for you to hide away now."
When the fifteenth mother was still about to say something, she saw Guiyuan, the eldest maid next to her aunt, walking over and said, "Miss fifteenth, my wife has asked you to come over."
Mu Baowen smiled and took Fifteen Niang's arm, and then the group went to Jinxiu Courtyard.
Jinxiuyuan was very lively, and the Pipa story was being sung on the stage.
The wives, grandmothers, and ladies were all deeply attracted by the story of Zhao Wuniang and Cai Bojie that was sung on the stage.
Li Wuniang followed Rongzheng and Baowen to Mrs.
Li.
Rongzheng smiled and saluted Mrs.
Li.
Mrs.
Li smiled and nodded: "Grandma, you are so polite.

Today is a good day for you, so I congratulate you."
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "How can I, this junior, deserve such a big gift from my wife?"
The two exchanged a few polite words, and then Mrs.
Li saw Fifteenth Niang beside Rongzheng.
She smiled and stepped forward to take Fifteenth Niang's arm, and led her to the front of Min.
Mrs.
Min was focused on the drama, but it was the maid behind her who secretly reminded her that she noticed the couple in front of her.
Mrs.
Min quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs.
Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so healthy."
Mrs.
Li held Fifteen Niang's hand, looking very intimate, as if she were her own child, and said with a smile: "I brought Fifteen Niang to pay homage to Mrs.
Cui's wife."
The fifteenth mother was shy and timid.
Mrs.
Min hurriedly bent down to help Fifteen Niang, and said repeatedly: "Good boy, you are too polite."
The fifteenth mother-in-law was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at her future mother-in-law.
She lowered her head slightly and her eyes only stayed on Min's pea green embroidered bra.
Mrs.
Min looked at Fifteen Niang carefully.
She was 70% satisfied with this daughter-in-law who had not yet married her.
The third part of the dissatisfaction came from the fact that the fifteenth mother was a concubine.
It was said that the biological mother was born to the aunt who was raised by a maid, and she was not even a good concubine.
Today's fifteenth mother is obviously well-groomed, wearing a willow-yellow short coat and buds trimmed with silver thread.
It is paired with a silver-red heddle skirt.
She wears her hair in a girlish bun with a short red gold hairpin.
A red silk flower was tied on the hairpin.
An eight-treasure necklace hangs around his neck.
Bright eyes and white teeth, intelligent and gentle.
The Li family's family tradition is the famous Qing Dynasty in Bianliang.
He is worthy of his own son.
When Min looked at today's fifteenth mother, her original 70% satisfaction turned into 90% satisfaction.
She also held Fifteenth Niang’s hand affectionately, and asked Fifteenth Niang to pick up a piece of embroidery for her and let Fifteenth Niang sit next to her.
Duan Hui felt happy when she saw the harmony between the two parents.
He couldn't help but look at Fifteen Niang.
The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
She thought that Xiao Qi of the Cui family was lucky to marry such a beautiful young lady.
Duan Hui didn't speak loudly from beginning to end.
She glanced at Fifteen Niang a few times, then turned her eyes to Rong Zheng.
She frowned slightly and stopped Rong Zheng who was talking to Mrs.
Ren San.
"What time has it been?
Why haven't you gone and changed into a dress?"
Rong Zheng said slightly apologetically: "I'll go immediately."
Mrs.

Ren San looked around and saw no one from the Rong family.
She couldn't help complaining to Rong Zheng: "What's going on with your mother's family?
Why don't you see anyone?"
Rong Zheng was also puzzled and said, "I wonder if something happened."
Seeing Rong Zheng's troubled look, Mrs.
Ren San smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost an auspicious time.
The princess urges you to change clothes, so go quickly."
Rongzheng was about to go back to the Qingyin Hall to change clothes, but suddenly she heard the maid coming to report: "The princess, grandma, the ladies of the Rong family are here."
Rong Zheng smiled and said to Mrs.
Ren San: "Third aunt, you really said that Cao Cao is here.
This person just can't bear to talk about it.
I'll go pick up my aunt and sister."
Mrs.
Ren San also got up.
Princess Duanhui looked much more relaxed when she heard the news, and thought to herself, this Rong family is really serious.
Why did you come so late and look so impressive?
As a family member, shouldn't you have come early to support Rong Zheng?
Rong Zheng just walked to the entrance of Jinxiu Courtyard, and she saw the Rong family coming slowly, led by the maids of the Villa.
The person walking in front turned out to be Ma, whom he hadn't seen for many days.
Rongzheng's heart skipped a beat, wondering how could Mrs.
Ma come and hear that she was still bedridden and unable to move?
How could she be cured so quickly?
Mrs.
Ma was holding a girl named Rong Sheng, while Rong Xiao was walking behind them with Mrs.
Du.
Ma's hair was in a bun and she wore the red hair and face she usually wore when going out.
A soft silk quilt with patterns of falling flowers and flowing water on the green field.
There was a layer of powder on his face, trying hard to hide the appearance of illness that had not yet recovered.
This was the first time Rongzheng saw Ma after she got married.
She looked past Ma and her daughter with a faint look on her face and landed on Rong Xiao and Du.
Only then did a smile appear on her lips.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time.
I was worried that something might happen on the road, so I was about to send someone to pick you up.
Finally we're here."
Of course Du knew that Rongzheng didn't like Ma and her daughter, and she didn't like Ma either when she saw Rongzheng talking to her, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"I was delayed going out, so I'm a little late."
While they were talking, they had already entered Jinxiu Courtyard, and Rong Zheng led them to the princess.
The princess was not in a good mood when she met Ma, but Ma was Rongzheng's stepmother after all, and she couldn't just throw her face away in front of so many people, so she saved some face for Rongzheng.
"Mrs.
Rong family, ladies and gentlemen, you have had a hard time on your journey."
The princess only said this, then turned to talk to Mrs.
Li beside her.
When Ma saw the princess's indifference towards her, she was not annoyed.
Under the guidance of the maid, he sat down generously.
Rong Sheng sat in front of him.

She glanced sideways and saw that Mrs.
Du was chatting very animatedly with that little hoof.
She was not annoyed, and slowly drank the tea brought by her daughter and watched the opera on the stage.
Even if those present did not know Ma, they had heard about Ma's origins from others, so they could not help but cast a strange look at this vicious stepmother who had been cruel to her stepdaughter.
Mr.
Ma prides himself on being a person who has experienced strong winds and waves.
Being able to appear here so openly today has already predicted the outcome in front of him.
His face is calm and calm, and he will never be looked down upon.
As for others, Mr.
Min had heard a little bit about Ma's affairs, so he came to Ma's side one after another.
His eyes swept over the mother and daughter.
I thought to myself, there is no trace of the magnanimity of an official wife.
One look at her appearance and it is obvious that she is a mean and ungrateful person, and her appearance is not good.
In a blink of an eye, the auspicious time has arrived, and the princess invites everyone to go to the Qingyin Pavilion to watch the ceremony.
Rong Zheng put on her brand-new bright red dress and had her hair done in a Japanese bun.
She came in style and bowed to all the people watching the ceremony.
The flower hall has been covered with bright red gorilla felt.
The princess is the guest of honor and is responsible for inserting hairpins into Rong Zheng.
The fifteenth mother acted as the secretary, and she had already walked over with a lacquered rhombus-style plate, while Rong Xiao was the praiser.
She took out the golden hairpin from the tray and held it in front of the princess with both hands.
The princess took the gold hairpin and solemnly plugged it in for Rongzheng, and couldn't help but say some words of encouragement.
Rongzheng thanked him and bowed three times to the two empty chairs above where his parents were supposed to sit.
Ma was pushed to the back in the crowd, and she could not clearly see how valuable the golden hairpin on Rong Zheng's head was.
She just felt a little aggrieved that as a mother, she couldn't sit on it and receive Rong Zheng's gift.
Rong Sheng had a look of envy and jealousy on his face.
Ma naturally knew what her daughter was thinking.
He whispered to her: "When will you be able to be so glorious, I will be satisfied."
Few people could get the treatment of a princess as the guest of honor, but it must be said that Rongzheng was lucky enough to marry a powerful man.
Rong Sheng followed Rong Zheng with eyes filled with hatred and envy.
After the ceremony, Princess Duanhui invited everyone to take their seats.
Mrs.
Li took out a beautiful brocade box at the right time and said with a smile: "It's a little thought, I hope grandma won't dislike it."
Rong Zheng took it with both hands and thanked him with a smile.
Min suddenly said: "Mrs.
Li's things must be good things.
Grandma, please open the box and let us have a good look."
Rongzheng glanced at Mrs.
Li and saw that Mrs.
Li was smiling, but she didn't care at all.
She smiled and asked: "Madam, can I open it and take a look?"
Mrs.
Li smiled and said, "It's okay."
Rong Zheng opened the box and took a look.
Lying on the bright red velvet cloth was a coral beaded walking stick.
It is somewhat similar to the set given by my grandmother, and the size of the beads is also similar.

It can be seen that it is a good thing.
When Mrs.
Min saw it was a coral walker, she smiled and said, "Madam, you are really generous.
This walker matches our grandma very well."
Mr.
Ma sat in the corner with a calm face, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.
He thought to himself: What kind of rule is this?
There is someone who opens the box in front of everyone.
Then the pair of silver bracelets she prepared earlier were a bit shabby, but she really didn't want to make any big statement
