At the beginning of the lanterns, the drizzle outside the house was a little hazy, but inside the house was as warm as spring.
The Li Mansion had used charcoal stoves and chimneys early.
It didn't cost much to light up seven or eight charcoal stoves, but the effect was vastly different from baking a brazier.
Li Yanran was sitting on a large bearskin chair.
There was a dark black sandalwood square table to her left.
There were several plates of melon and fruit cakes nearby.
Next to her, Lengzi's maid Xiao Cui was holding a knife and smiling attentively. apple.
Miaoyun knew that this was a Hongmen banquet from the moment the servants of the Li family came to invite them.
Life is sometimes more difficult for women than for men For the sake of their own happiness in the rest of their lives, the battle between them is very cruel and helpless.
Miaoyun did not bring a maid.
This was an attitude.
She had not even thought about the position of the Yang family's wife.
This was not something she could hope for.
Even becoming a concubine was a delusion for her. .
In her opinion, Li's Mansion was not considered luxurious, at least she had seen many dignitaries' mansions that were many times more luxurious than Li's Mansion, but today she felt very uneasy.
She felt guilty after becoming a thief, and also had a worry about gains and losses.
Under the joking eyes of the concierge, she stepped into the Li Mansion.
This was a path that would determine her life.
When she first saw Yang Ming, she She decided to fight for herself no matter how many hardships she faced.
His appearance and his literary talents seemed to encourage her.
Three in, three out This is the size of the mansion.
There are servants in the front yard, middle yard, and backyard.
Every other yard is greeted by servants.
It is better to say that it is a greeting than to show off.
Li Yanran understands people's hearts very well, and she is undoubtedly a head above Miaoyun in terms of momentum. .
The road was very difficult, not because it was long, but because the autumn rain had slowly fallen along the way.
There was no umbrella and no one to talk to.
Finally, we came to the backyard.
"Miss Miaoyun, please stay.
I saw it's raining outside and asked my servant to bring you some clothes.
I'm afraid you are weak and may catch the cold."
He saw a maid of fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a tray with two sets of clothes lying on it.
One set is in festive red, embroidered with lotus flowers, trimmed with gold silk, and made of silver silk petals.
It is really beautiful.
The other set is a light blue coarse cloth dress with no decoration at all.
The plain and simple material shows that this is not something that noble people should wear.
"Thank you."
Miao Yun took the tray and guided her to a private room.
She recognized the maid.
Her name seemed to be Xiaocui.
She was the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Li family.
If she could bring her clothes in person, it would be a waste of time.
As simple as a dress.
She did not choose the red skirt, but picked up the second set of light blue coarse cloth skirt.
The red skirt is not something you can get your hands on.

It is for the exclusive use of the housewife.
If you want to join the Yang family with that set of skirts, you have no extravagant hope.
As for the long coarse cloth skirt, it is obviously for the servants.
Clothing, this naturally has Li Yanran's deep meaning.
In front of Xiaocui, Miaoyun slowly took off his clothes in the hot water bucket that had been prepared nearby, and then slowly jumped into the water.
Some leaves were added to the water, including star anise, calamus, and unknown plants.
This was a dust-cleansing soup.
As the name suggests, it is to wash away all the karma of the world.
This is one of the three rituals in Buddhist rituals.
When used here, it actually means that Miaoyun has said goodbye to his identity in the first half of his life.
This is what he wants.
If she had chosen the first set of red dresses, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to take a bath in the bath to cleanse all the worldly ties.
They are all smart people.
This was a test for Li Yanran.
Of course, the most important thing was that she still had the hair in her right hand.
She believed that Xiao Cui had already seen the flaming red gecko sand when she took off her skirt.
This meant that the pure bit of red was the only reason she could enter the backyard.
Sooner or later, the Yang family is a family of officials.
In such a family, it is not enough for just one matron to be the head of the house.
In order to remain the face of the Yang family, three wives and four concubines must be necessary.
Instead of being seduced by some unscrupulous vixen, it is better to It is better to find two beautiful and sensible concubines in advance to calm the master's heart.
The young lady from a wealthy family is not a flower vase.
The education she received since she was a child is much better than that of a girl from a small family.
Li Yanran also knew this.
It didn't matter if Miao Yun Zhiqu gave her the title of concubine.
Having such a vase would at least save her a lot of trouble in the future.
The smell of the dust-washing soup was actually not pleasant, but Miaoyun cherished it very much.
She gently picked up a string of dark green pearls and sprinkled them on her body.
The hot temperature was the best gift for her to welcome her new life.
She washed very carefully, rubbing every inch of skin vigorously.
This body needed to be completely washed away from the dust of the past.
She couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of her eye, swirling in the wrapped eye socket, but her face showed satisfaction. smile.
People can't help themselves in the world, and they are even more powerless in brothels.
The only thing they can do is to keep fighting for it.
Miaoyun suddenly thought of Miaoyin, the most important sister in her life.
She didn't know what she was thinking about now.
If she knew She will definitely be happy with her situation.
She has always given the best things to herself, right?
There were too many things in her mind.
When the scalding hot water turned cold, Miao Yun came back from her thoughts.
Now she has the last hurdle, to meet Li Yanran.
She wiped her whole body with a coarse cloth handkerchief, put on the light blue dress, and inserted a hairpin made of elm wood into her head.
Miaoyun took a deep breath before facing the lights in the backyard.
Go to the bright room.
Li Yanran was very patient.

Through Xiao Cui's report, she actually knew all Miao Yun's behavior and expressions from the moment she entered the house.
This woman was very knowledgeable and at least knew her identity.
Tasting a peeled grape in her mouth, Li Yanran looked at Miao Yun who walked in slowly.
"Miaoyun has met my sister."
Miaoyun slowly bent down and placed his hands in an arc on his lower right abdomen.
This was the etiquette of women in the Ming Dynasty.
Wan Fu She is actually sixteen this year, a full two years older than Li Yanran.
She recognized her sister when they met and made it known that Li Yanran would be the leader from now on.
This is submission and a silent expectation.
Li Yanran didn't let her get up, and was still tasting the grapes.
After a while, she said quietly: "I didn't notice that you were also wearing this kind of clothes.
Don't you think that wearing red makeup and plain clothes can show off your figure better?"
Without Li Yanran's words, Miao Yun still maintained her Wanfu movements.
She had already made up her mind along the way.
No matter how Li Yanran humiliated her today, she would accept it silently.
This was a tidal wave.
It was like a human being, but it was like a ghost. .
"Sister is joking.
My little sister is living in the world.
Fortunately, she is content with having coarse clothes to cover her body when she comes out of the devil's cave."
Miao Yun said without being humble or arrogant: "As for the red makeup, it must be my sister's dress.
It's natural for me to wear it if I'm not lucky enough."
