Femme Beauty

Maybe it was because of the rivalry between the two Shijia brothers or because of the relationship between the family members behind them, there has been no accident at Beiya Pass.Qi Guogong then took a new defensive position.At the beginning of the year, good news came from Northwest Camp.Zheng Keshuang led troops to disperse the Tubo and Xixia coalition forces at the border.And from the north, envoys from the northern barbarians also came over, demanding the signing of a new covenant.Everything is going in a good direction.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

Early in the morning, Wang Xifeng changed her clothes and left the bed. Because of taboos and customs, she couldn't speak a word that day.Even when I was worried about calling people up, Bai Chong also followed up.At this time, there was already water filled with copper coins in the washbasin, and the face was washed.Sitting in front of the dressing table, she looked at her face and felt very strange.She doesn't seem to remember what she used to look like.The hair is spread out from the whip, and the hair is curled to look like a perm.But that's the case, the young and beautiful girl in the mirror is not the 30-year-old face that was destroyed by cosmetics.

The weather in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, and she rarely puts powder on her face at this time.It's just that after using the cream, I bit the rouge on my lips, and put some carmine on the corners of my eyes to make peach blossom makeup.

I didn't insert any hairpins, just wrapped my hair with a red hair band to style it.She likes this simple decoration very much recently. If she hadn't been married, she would have done it with a big braid.

"Grandma is getting lazy, it's just the beginning of spring." Qiao Yun muttered on the side.

"Weary in spring, tired in autumn, dozing off in summer, we are talking about now." Wang Xifeng pinched her cheek, got up and took people to Jia Min's yard.

At this time, Jia Min was walking around the house holding Lin Daiyu, who was dressed like a dough ball. Little Lin Daiyu happened to be at a lively and curious age.Although her articulation is not very clear, she is very smart when she is two to three years old.Maybe it was because of my poor health earlier, but now I have recovered a bit later than those of the same age.

"Why are you so lively today?" Wang Xifeng stepped forward to take Daiyu from Jia Min's arms, and sat on the edge of the kang with her in his arms.Jia Min rubbed her arms: "It's very heavy. When I wake up, I have to walk back and forth with my arms in my arms. I don't know where the excitement comes from."

Wang Xifeng lifted Daiyu from under her armpit, let her step on her thigh, and stared at those dark eyes: "My sister is having a good time today... It's February [-]! It's my birthday in ten days... Isn't it... ...Isn't it..." She smiled and kissed her.Daiyu wiped it with her small hands in disgust. This elder sister always likes to kiss her, but she doesn't like it.Turning her head, she handed her arm to her mother, wanting to hug her.

"You are annoying..." Jia Min took it again helplessly, and wiped the traces of rouge on her small face with a handkerchief.

Wang Xifeng saw that the mother and daughter were getting along so funny, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "How is Brother Han?"

"He's still sleeping...he's just a little older." Jia Min thought of his son, and felt very comfortable in his heart.

"It's been five or six months, how can you say something?" Wang Xifeng got up and went to the inner room, because the child was in Jia Min's Warm Pavilion these days, with Daiyu.Lin Ruhai was worried about Jia Min's recovery, so he moved to the small study in the side room on the opposite side.

At this time, the little boy in the little bamboo crib has already grown fetal hair.Now it's February [-]nd, which happens to be the time to shave.The little boy was at the time when his head was thick, his eyes were dark, and his arms and legs were like lotus joints.Wang Xifeng looked very strange, reached out and grabbed the little foot, and stuck it to his face.Maybe it was because her cheeks were cold, but the young master kicked her shamelessly and then took her back.

"It's so cute!" Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes happily. At this time, the temperature in the warm pavilion is high and there is no need to add more clothes to the child.But if you want to go out, you have to put on something.Jia Min heard her exclamation from the outside, and shook her head to the nurse next to her, "It looks like a child's mind is steady."

"It's just a girl under [-], how stable can she be? It's just a show in front of the elders on weekdays." Mammy said comforting words beside her.This young mistress is really different from the one in the second master's house in the capital.He is a lively person who looks pungent and stable, but will show his temper when no one is around.

Watching the child keep pulling his hands and feet out of her hand, but resisting with all his strength without crying or fussing, at most when he stared at you with cute eyes, Wang Xifeng felt her whole heart melted.She ran out happily, and leaned against the door and shouted to Jia Min: "Auntie... he doesn't even cry!"

Jia Min gave Mammy a look, it really looks like that.Resignedly said: "You bullied him again! You wait until he can talk, walk and jump, maybe he will bully your son when he grows up. Now I am happy to patronize..."

"How come?" Wang Xifeng sat across from Jia Min with a smile: "When I have a son, I'm afraid Brother Han will be enlightened. The ones taught by my uncle must be friendly sisters, brothers and sisters. I also Just because he was cute when he was young, if he grows up, he might not even raise his eyes to look at me, I am afraid that he has violated the etiquette or something."

"That's the rule!" Jia Min shook his head: "Okay, your uncle and Lian'er are back, let's have dinner. Let's eat dragon beard early today."

"Hey!" Wang Xifeng walked out with Daiyu in her arms and followed Jia Min one by one, and sat at the table that was set early.At the request of Wang Xifeng, I specially asked a carpenter to make a small high chair with a wooden frame to prevent children from climbing out of it.

The chicken soup that was simmered all night yesterday, paired with the dragon beard noodles skillfully made by the master, is very fragrant.Wang Xifeng didn't eat it by herself, but moved Lin Ruhai's chopsticks, took a wooden spoon to make short shredded noodles, and fed Lin Daiyu mouthfuls with the soup.

"I just said that she is used to taking care of children, and Daiyu's eating is the most troublesome thing. She is a picky eater, and she is the only one who can control it." Jia Min looked at her daughter with pitiful little eyes, and took a grievous mouthful. Eat something you don't like in one bite.I am very happy, at least for the time being, I don’t have to worry about my poor health caused by picky eaters.In the early years, I used too much medicine, so I indulged in food.When the eyesight and body get better, this picky eater will be serious.

"En!" Lin Ruhai nodded: "When Lian'er has a child, you don't have to worry about finding a nanny."

"Nurse still wants it, with many children and grandchildren...how can Feng Ge'er do it alone." Jia Min smiled and looked at Wang Xifeng who had blushed and fed Daiyu herself.Then he picked up something from the morning and said: "I went to tease Brother Han just now, and I guess he was playing tricks again. Brother Han has a good temper. In the end, he was said to be not lively!"

"It's better for a boy to be more lively." Jia Lian couldn't see that his aunt and uncle made his daughter-in-law blush, so she interrupted aloud.

"I think it's better to be quiet, and it's not easy to teach when it's noisy." Lin Ruhai thinks that it's better for his son to be in such a temper first.If he was lively, he would have a headache instead.

"Writing can't make martial arts!" Jia Min doesn't care about this, in her opinion, as long as she is healthy and healthy in the future, even a bastard is fine.When Lin Ruhai heard his wife say this, he pondered for a while: "The Lin family has been in literature for more than 300 years. If it is changed to martial arts..." He stopped his chopsticks, thinking that this matter is feasible.However, Jia Min felt that since his husband had a son, he had become stupid.

"Let's eat! We are waiting for you..."

When the sun was shining in the morning, Lin Ruhai personally shaved off the thick fetal hair that had just grown up, carefully put it away and wrapped it in a red cloth.Someone opened the ceiling, while cleaning on the one hand and hanging on the thickest beam on the other hand.After finishing these, Lin Rihai set up an incense hall for the seat where he was sitting.After all, this is a private matter of the Lin family, and both Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are outside.

On February [-]nd, the ashes should be cleaned up.It was necessary to spread ashes to repel insects, etc., so Jia Min decided to take Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu to the temple to offer incense.

Wenfeng Temple is located on the edge of Yangzhou City and is famous for its Wenfeng Pagoda.Because some mountain temples are famous today, and there are many people.Jia Min purposely chose this monastery, where few people come, firstly to seek peace and secondly to enjoy the spring.

Entering the khaki-painted wall curtain of the temple, you can see a small main hall. It seems that the theme of this temple is the towering golden-roofed tower.Jia Min asked Wang Xifeng to put down Daiyu and let her go by herself.Shani from Wenfeng Temple saw that the visitors were women, so he didn't bother them too much, but respectfully led them to the bamboo shed built in the bamboo forest next to the tower to rest, and then left.

The women and maids spread soft cushions on the bamboo chairs. Although it is early spring, the bamboo forest is quite elegant and cold.

Wang Xifeng didn't sit down, but followed the curious little Daiyu around.Jia Min didn't care about her either, she just sat there looking at the scenery of Su Ya in front of her and was quiet.

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law...there is a rabbit..." Daiyu looked sharply at the little rabbit that had penetrated into the flowers and plants in the forest. The rabbit was probably used to release animals, so it was not afraid of people.Wang Xifeng led her over carefully, the little rabbit looked at Lin Daiyu with red eyes, the two little ones looked at each other, and they had some fun.

"Rabbit... I like it." Daiyu wanted to reach out to touch it, but the rabbit hopped away.She looked aggrieved and looked at Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng patted her head: "She went to find her mother, and Daiyu also went to her mother, okay?"

"Okay! Daiyu is also looking for mother..." Daiyu ran forward happily when she heard that the little rabbit had gone to find her mother.Followed by the girl, protecting her from falling.She got into Jia Min's arms like a small cannonball, and smiled sweetly: "Mother... the little rabbit has gone to find her, and I'm here to look for her too. Mother, where is the little rabbit?"

"Little rabbit...she's gone to find her own mother!" Jia Min smiled and picked up Daiyu and put it on her lap.

"Why didn't the little rabbit come to find mother?" Daiyu blinked, expressing her puzzlement.At this moment, she understood that her mother was her mother, and the little rabbit looking for her mother was also her mother.Hearing her childish words, Jia Min smiled and hugged her: "Because Yu'er has a mother, and the little rabbit also has her mother!"

"Oh..." Daiyu nodded disappointedly: "Then her mother can also hug her like this?"

"Sure!" Jia Min said kindly with a smile.

"Ms. Lin is also coming to this temple!" Just as Wang Xifeng was visiting the vegetarian pastries and hot water for tea on the bamboo stand, a voice came from far away.The speaker was a woman with a slender face and high cheekbones.She was wearing a hairpin and leading a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, who seemed to be a daughter.

"Mrs. Zhang!" Jia Min put down Daiyu, smiled and stretched out his hand to beckon for a seat.Without saying anything, Wang Xifeng took out two cups carved from bamboo tubes, and poured out the freshly brewed tea: "My aunt is weak, so she never brings new tea. This is Pu'er from previous years, so don't blame the women for using it. "

When Lin Han was a hundred days old, Wang Xifeng met this woman.The woman of the magistrate of Yangzhou, she had been introduced by Jia Min.Jia Lian also said that the current governor of Yangzhou is from the Zhen family.The fact that the Zhen family dared to attack Jia Min blatantly also had this intention.

"Where can it be! It's just tea. I'm a woman, and I can only understand a few words. I don't know anything about elegance. If you want me to say, just eat what you have." Mrs. Zhang Sitting on the side, she picked up the bamboo cup and looked at the carvings of children playing on it, and smelled the rich fragrance, she said: "My sister is three years old this year!"

"It's almost her birthday, and if you calculate carefully, she's four years old." Jia Min smiled softly and looked at the girl beside her: "The last time I saw your sister, I remember they were still in a small group. Right now She has become a big girl."

"That's right, I'm already ten years old. In a few years, I will have to go out with my in-laws. Looking at her... I feel that I have grown a lot at this age." Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia Min with a peachy face. look, sighed.They are similar in age, but Jia Min has a son who has lived a lifetime, and looks much younger.

"Where can it be!" Jia Min took a sip of hot tea, took Wang Xifeng's warm water, mixed honey, and fed Daiyu a couple of sips: "But is there anyone here?"

"I have to watch it for the time being. I think it would be a good choice if your brother grows up to be in his teens. But right now he is still a baby..." Mrs. Zhang sneered, and the little girl beside her lowered her head His head turned red.

"Then you have another one, and it will be good for us to be in-laws." Jia Min said jokingly.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and touched the back of the girl next to her: "I can't do it anymore. When I gave birth to this girl in the early years, I hurt my body after all. It's not appropriate to say something. Originally, I told our master in private that your body is in the end. You got hurt when you were a sister, if you can't conceive, I'm afraid you'll get a concubine. But look, you are a blessed person, you got a brother in a blink of an eye."

"How do you say this..." Jia Min looked outside at Daiyu, who was bouncing around Wang Xifeng while holding a cup, with soft eyes: "At first, I also wanted to persuade our master to accept a small one, or to get a small one from the old people in Gusu. I chose an adoptive one. After all, the master is not happy, so I thought... Even if I risk my life, I can't let the master lose his flesh and blood and inherit his roots. Maybe God has pity on my sincerity, and actually gave me a brother Son."

Thinking of the youngest son entrusted to Lin Ruhai to take care of at home, Jia Min smiled sweetly: "You said, maybe it is really the child who should come to our house. After he came, my body gradually began to get better."

"I think your complexion is good, unlike me. I saw a doctor not long ago, and said that you are so daring."

"Then you have to take good care of it! I used to use donkey-hide gelatin from Shandong all the time. You can ask the doctor to see if it is useful. If it is useful, I will leave you to use it. This thing has to be used. I know, if it’s good, you can ask your family’s servants to buy it. If it’s not good, you don’t need to spend so much effort.” Jia Min said it sincerely, but the other party just smiled awkwardly: “It’s embarrassing. gone."

"Why are you embarrassed? The one in your family belongs to a colleague." Jia Min picked up his own cup of warm tea, and took a sip with a smile to moisten his throat.

Mrs. Zhang sat for a while and took their sister and son away.Wang Xifeng looked at the little girl following her mother, seeming a little bit unprofitable.She waited for the person to go far away, and then she leaned next to Jia Min and whispered: "I look at this lady's sister, do you have a problem with your legs?"

"What's the problem?" Jia Min snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it just that I want to follow the example of that skinny horse and find a aunt's buddy in the future? He has bound feet, and I don't know how cruel this mother is. "

"Bound feet..." Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's wide mouth closed quickly, as if swallowing a fly.Looking at her expression, Jia Min knew that this matter was rare for her.The maid who threw Daiyu to the side played with her: "What's so surprising? Isn't the most famous Yangzhou thin horse in this Yangzhou generation? She was originally from such a background, but her man was elected in the early years. Later, he passed the Jinshi examination and was sent to Jiangnan. He didn’t understand anything, so the Zhen family sent this wife to him. You must know that the Yangzhou skinny horse must have talents. You have to learn."

"It's just a plaything, can it still be the wife of a big house?" Wang Xifeng glanced at her mouth in disgust.

"Isn't that enough?" Jia Min snorted coldly: "Among the literati and officials, there are a lot of eccentrics. You will see more in the future, so you won't find it strange. The daughter of their family is not wanted by rich families. .Firstly, you don’t know how to housekeeper, and secondly, your background is not deep enough. Before you came here, you have heard rumors that you are going to marry into Zhen’s family as a concubine.”

"A good concubine...it doesn't look like there will be anything good in the future." Wang Xifeng suddenly felt that this was the case for the magistrate of Yangzhou.

Jia Min looked at her and lowered his head with a smile: "It's good that you know. This kind of family is a villain who succeeds. It's good to make a living. If you don't like it, don't talk to me. You are different from me. No matter how you say it, I am just Mrs. Qingliu. You must belong to Mrs. Guogong in the future, so remember your identity."

"Anyway, I'm also the half-son and daughter-in-law of a first-rank official in the capital, and I know who I am." Wang Xifeng is very proud of this. Her uncle is Wang Ziteng, which has always been her pride.
