133. There is a tree outside the tree

The He family also received a post sent by someone from the Chen family. Mrs. He is now with Chen Jiayuan and will not pay attention to Chen Zhi's marriage. Now that he saw Chen Zhi get married, he still asked the wife who sent the post, and only then did he find out that the daughter-in-law of Xu Ju's family was determined to be Xu Ju's daughter.

After sending the servants of the Chen family, Mrs. He threw the post around and said to Shen, "It's fine if you go with me then, don't ask the girls to go, it's noisy."

Shen said, "My mother and I have thought of going to the same place."

Chen Zhi's engagement date was on the twelfth lunar month. It was still early and the He family didn't care. At this time, He Zijin and Miss San were trying out new dresses. Nowadays, except for the clothes of wealthy families, ordinary families made them themselves. Needless to say, the third girl, her natural skillful hands were He Zijin. After several years of training, although the work she did was not as good as that of Miss San, she could also take a look.

The material for this dress was also bought by Miss He Zijin from the Prefecture. It was either silk or brocade, or high-quality cotton. He Zijin picked materials and didn't care about silk or satin. Moreover, the best jacquard weaving flowers were too expensive. She chose plain-colored and dyed clothes. She didn't look at anything else, just to see if the materials were comfortable and comfortable in her hands. The drooping feeling was good, and it was not close to the body. There were also those waiting for silk materials that looked shiny and smooth to the touch, but they were just a ridge. They were just a good place to see where they made clothes. It was like those waiting for face and didn't have much money. By the way, Mrs. He had two clothes like armor before, and He Zijin laughed a lot.

In short, the materials bought by He Zijin and the third girl are more than comparable to those of the best, and they are definitely comfortable to wear.

Such materials are not as rich as jacquard and weaving flowers, but embroidering them by themselves is not ugly. The third girl is wearing a long vermilion-shaped double-breasted cotton robe with a white silk cotton skirt. The hem of the skirt is only exposed to the length of the size, and a red plum is embroidered in a diagonal and festive style. He Zijin is a pomegranate red slanted short jacket with a primrose long skirt. The hem of the skirt is inlaid with a circle of half a foot wide pomegranate red, three inches above, and a circle of narrower pomegranate red borders. The inlaid is embroidered with primrose embroidery thread on the surface. This pattern is simple, not like the plum blossoms that are exquisitely embroidered on the hem of the third girl. It is just a simple circle of patterns. There is no color change, so it is embroidered quickly. He Zijin has always been slow in hand and foot, and it will be done in just two days.

The slanted collar on the short jacket is inlaid with a primrose-colored material. A narrow sky blue strap is tied at the end of the slanted collar under the armpit, and a narrow waist is cut out here. Long tassel ears streaked with sky blue threads hanging down on the waist.

He Zijin is wearing a high-waisted jacket and skirt. Although she is short, she looks very proportional when worn like this, and she looks like she is lengthened. Her clothes are lively and are quite innocent and innocent. Her hair is braided into small braids and combed into a pair of buns. Two red ropes are tied into bows. The hair is decorated with small red plum blossoms and silk flowers, which is very cute. Seeing that her daughter has no gold or silver on her head, Shen smiled, "It looks good like this, but she can't carry a hairpin."

He Zijin smiled, "It's not appropriate for me to wear a hair like this, so it's good."

He Zijin is pretty and cute, while the third girl is dressed up dignifiedly. She is at her age and has a lot of hair. She combs a simple drooping hair and a golden strap, and a crabapple silk flower. She has the charming and charming girl that cannot be concealed.

Shen looked at the two girls and felt very happy. He said to Old Girl He, "This is not a boast. Our girls are just better than other families."

Children are all good at home, and Old Mother He was happy to see it, "That's very true." He said to Shen, "I asked you to buy the small jewelry I used to buy, have you bought it?"

Shen said, "I came from the silversmith shop yesterday." Ling Cui'er went to the room to pick it up.

For a moment, Cui'er brought two lacquer red boxes, and Shen opened them. Two boxes of gold-shining jewelry were almost blind. He Zijin's eyes were round, and his eyes were incredible, "Why did you make such a lot of gold jewelry?"

Shen smiled with a pursed lips, and Mrs. He smiled, "You are so beautiful."

Shen said in this square, "The gold one can't be beaten for the time being, this is a gilt one."

Gilded, gilded meaning.

He Zijin picked up a rose hairpin, and the roses were made vividly. The gilding technique was not obvious to ordinary people. The third girl said, "It will cost a lot of money to do it so much at once."

Old Madam He met a soulmate and said, "No, it's enough to spend eight taels of silver to get these two boxes!"

Shen smiled, "Although our family can't afford to pay money, you are old, and you always go out, your hair is not good-looking. Take this to play first. Then slowly buy jewelry for you later."

He Zijin was naturally optimistic and contented, laughed, "This is great. If I wear it with real gold, I would be afraid I would accidentally lose it." As he said that, he brushed two gilded bracelets on his wrist.

The third girl was also very happy and took the gilded jewelry box with He Zijin back to the room.

When the car hired outside came, Mrs. He also said to them, "Why don't you wear two more pieces of new jewelry?"

He Zijin pointed to the golden gilded grape earrings on his ears and said, "Isn't that?"

The third girl also changed the plum blossom pendant to her ears, and each of them wore a gilded ring on her hands. But Old Madam He was not very satisfied and said, "The head is so light, it's not that there is nothing. It's only when you put seven or eight hairpins on it to look noble."

He Zijin said, "Grandma, don't be old-fashioned. Look at our hair so dark, bright and beautiful, just look good with jewelry. Except for those who can't dress up, who can't wear any gold and silver? It's really a waste of money."

Mrs. He said, "I think you are burning buns."

The grandparents and grandsons replied with each other. Shen laughed, "The car is coming, take Cui'er with you."

The Hu family has been there once before, but now I am quite familiar with it.

When I arrived at the gate of Hu's family, there was still an old lady who led her in. When I went to the second gate, I changed into a more decent wife in charge. I walked through the moon gate and passed the corridor to a yard facing north and south. It was Mrs. Hu's residence. The main house was a bright and dark structure. The little maid outside put a big red cotton felt curtain on it. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a sweet and warm fragrance. The sound of laughter came from the room. Bypassed a large red sandalwood screen, the room became particularly wide. It was where Mrs. Hu was when I came to pay my birthday that day.

A maid reported, "Miss He, Miss Jiang is here."

Mrs. Hu laughed, "Please."

Miss He Zijin went over to invite Mrs. Hu. The four girls from the Hu family stepped forward one after another. Miss Hu Er laughed, "Although I will meet my grandfather on the birthday party, I have no good talk. I also have camellias in my house, so I'll invite you to see it later."

Miss Hu was angry, "When it comes to Huaer, you are not finished." It led Miss He Zijin and the other people in the room to meet.

Mrs. Hu is from her grandmother generation, and she married her granddaughter-in-law. She said she should be called an old lady. For some reason, she has not changed her name yet. Therefore, Mrs. Hu is still a wife. Both daughters-in-law are also the ones who want to tell her son about her daughter-in-law, and they are still grandma generation, one is the second grandma and the other is the third grandma. The eldest grandma of the Hu family is an official with her husband and is not at home. However, this young lady is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter and is waiting to marry in her hometown. The in-laws talks about the famous Zhang family in the prefecture. Although the Zhang family is not as good as the Ning family, there are also people in the court. They are also famous scholarly families in the prefecture.

Back to the point, the second grandma looked at about forty people, with a few silver threads on her temples, slightly round and quiet. She just praised the "good girl" and said nothing. The third grandma looked much younger than the second grandma. She had a crow hair, and a bird's head drooping beads between her hair, and two suitable bead hairpins were inserted. She was wearing thin powder on her cheeks. The beauty of her youth was still visible between her eyebrows. She smiled with an apricot eye and held one hand and said, "There were so many people who didn't look closely that day. It turned out that there were such beautiful girls in the world. In the past, I only said that the eldest sister and the others were rare. Now that I saw it, I knew there were people outside the heavens."

He Zijin smiled, "The third grandma is from everyone. In the past, I thought I was rare in the past. If you like us, you will know what a rustic girl is."

Everyone in the room amused He Zijin, and the third grandmother smiled happily and said to Mrs. Hu, "Did you see that, I can talk too, but I'm not as good as this girl."

Grandma San smiled, "What a girl, if you are a rustic, there will be no beautiful people in this world." She personally introduced the aunt Hu, Hu's daughter Miss Zhao, and the four girls of the Hu family. Grandma San smiled, "I think you have already recognized the four girls and Yue'er that day, and they will have a lot of interactions in the future. They don't have many playmates at home, so they have been very much talking about you several times." She asked He Zijin how old he is, if he had ever studied in school or something.

He Zijin learned about Lin Meimei's lines, "I just recognize a few words."

Grandma San immediately said, "It's strange that girls who have studied are different because they are so clever. Several girls in my family are also studying, so you have something to say."

Miss Hu Er said, "Isn't that true? Sister Xu was here before. This time the camellia was blooming. I wanted to invite Sister Xu to enjoy the flowers together. I didn't expect that Sister Xu's marriage would be settled, so she would not be able to come out."

The Hu family did not talk much about Miss Xu's engagement, and had met these wives and grandmothers. After talking for a while, several girls from the Hu family and Miss Zhao invited Miss He Zijin and the third girl to go to the garden to see the camellia.

He Zijin raised flowers to make money. Of course, there were many flowers and plants in the Hu family. But when he saw the blooming camellia tree in the Hu family, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This tree has been hundreds of years?" The tea tree canopy covers a corner of the garden, and hundreds of big red camellia bloom on the trees.

Miss Hu smiled, "This tree was moved down from Furong Mountain when her ancestor Wen Xianggong was young. It has been more than two hundred years since it moved to this garden."

He Zijin said, "It's better to be the previous dynasty then."

"The previous dynasty has not started yet, and it was when Dafeng dynasty Emperor Dezong." Miss Hu Er said, "So, my camellia tree has gone through vicissitudes."

The third girl looked and looked, and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there was such a camellia tree in the world."

Miss Hu San and He Zijin are about the same age as their third wife. When they hear the third girl's words, they can't help but smile, "Actually, this camellia tree in my house is a bit old, and it is also a good landscape in our Bishui County. However, I heard that the emperors all have azalea trees with thick trunks, and they bloom tens of thousands at a time, which is a different style."

He Zijin said, "That must have been an ancient tree that has lasted thousands of years, right?"

Miss Hu Si giggled and said, "This is considered as a tree outside the tree."
