Chapter 23 Lantern Festival Lantern Festival (1)

Her eyes suddenly fell on her head and was wearing a blood-colored red jade carved hairpin. The hairpin was transparent and bright, and it was the best among the hairpin. She quickly took off the hairpin, "This hairpin is good, don't you reluctant to give it to me, right?"

Zhang Zhilan's mouth twitched slightly, and then she squeezed out a kind smile, "Of course, I'm willing to give up."

"But, will this hairpin be not suitable for you?" This is the blood jade flower hairpin worth three shops! It is the most restrained and precious hairpin in her jewelry. I wanted to take it out to show off tonight, but I even wanted to overwhelm Jiang and the second and third bedrooms one end.

Jiang, Chen Pingyan's concubine, the third concubine.

"I think it's very suitable!" Su Wunian put it on her bun, looking at herself in the bronze mirror and posing. This red color is her favorite color, elegant but not luxurious, and it matches her crabapple flower skirt.

Zhang Zhilan was no longer easy to say anything, and did not "instruct" anymore. She found an excuse to go back to the room in disappointment and went to find a suitable hairpin again.

Candle Crisp finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to carefully dress up Su Wunian. But the current rouge and watermelon and jewelry dress still suppressed the lady's original beauty, just like a pearl covered with dust.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Candle Scissors have seen too many powerful people in the silk shop before. They are bright and beautiful women, but they don't know how ugly they are because they wear inappropriate dresses.

"Tomorrow, you will go out of the house to buy everything for me." Su Wunian was extremely relieved about the aesthetics of candle clippings.

"Yes, after Candle Trim, I will dress up the young lady in a beautiful and charming way every day." Candle Trim smiled like a flower.

Laughing and joy, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is very lively and a prosperous scene.

Su Wunian and the Shen family went out for the Lantern Festival together. I think she hadn't been in this fun for many years.

"This year's Lantern Festival seems to be more lively than in previous years." The vicissitudes of life reveal elegance and nobleness, and a kind of courage to overlook the mountains and rivers. The face is full of love, and the maroon-red embroidered forehead band surrounded the gorgeous hair that was like the snow falling on the ground in the severe winter. The eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the dark brown eyes are printed with the lights of the prosperous times. The ravines crisscrossing on their faces are different in depth, as if silently telling the twists and turns of the past.

"Yes, I heard that the eldest princess advocated holding this lantern festival, saying that it was too deserted this year." Zhang Zhilan smiled dignifiedly and his voice became louder. After all, the streets were noisy.

"We came out early, and the blind shooting competition has not yet begun. Let's take a look first and then go to the direction of Zhaixing Tower." The third wife Zhu suggested with a gentle smile. Zhu is the concubine daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, humble and polite, and has a moderate approach.

"The Star Picking Tower is the place where young people should go. I can't stand those things when shooting blindly. Let's go back after a while." Mrs. Shen smiled.

"Yes." Zhang Zhilan and Zhu smiled and agreed.

Mrs. Shen was supported by Zhang Zhilan and the third wife Zhu, and she was talking and laughing along the way.

The second wife Zhou, who was neglected, walked the farthest from the old lady, and her mouth curled like a sickle. Chen Mengxi beside her stepped forward and comforted her, "Mom, one day they will come to curry favor with you."

Zhou felt a little more uncomfortable, "Mom has been enduring for so many years, and finally hopes that you can make a contribution to this day."

"Don't worry, my daughter won't let you down." Chen Mengxi smiled proudly, and glanced at Chen Shengge who was following Zhang Zhilan inadvertently, "Look at her like that, how can she compare to her daughter?"

"I'm a person with eyes, and I will choose me." His eyes were full of mockery and contempt.

The candle clippers that followed Su Wunian obviously heard it and only curled their lips and sneered.

When he walked to the jewelry stall on the street, Mrs. Shen stopped, and a group of people stopped and surrounded the jewelry stall.

Mrs. Shen picked up a string of mutton fat jade bracelets with traces of time, "This jade is of excellent color and pure texture, suitable for my Shen family girl."

Chen Mengxi's eyes were shiny and she was secretly happy. Could it be that my grandmother was going to choose jewelry for us?

"Yes, my mother has always had unique vision." Zhang Zhilan immediately praised.

"Come on." Mrs. Shen pulled Chen Mengli behind Su Wunian, took her hand, pushed the mutton fat jade bracelet into her wrist, and praised: "It's really a perfect match."

Chen Mengli was flattered and looked at the bracelet and couldn't let go of it, "Thank you grandmother!"

"We Li'er, naturally deserve the best." Her smile was loving and her eyes narrowed into a line.

Chen Mengxi's face was like eating sour plums, twisting it into a ball. As long as there is a place where she is Chen Mengxi, I, Chen Mengxi, is just a foil and cannot cover up her sharpness.

Who told her that she was lucky? It was obviously born to her concubine, but she didn't expect that her wife was unconscious and she was carried into a fair wife. She turned from a concubine's daughter to a legitimate daughter, and was raised by her grandmother. She took all the good luck!

The hands in the sleeve subconsciously slid the edges of the sleeves, and scratched the nails.

Chen Mengli deliberately smiled and raised her master, wishing everyone could see the bracelet on her wrist, silently showing her status in the Shen family to everyone, and even deliberately put it in the place where Su Wunian's eyes were.

Su Wunian ignored her and had no expression on her face.

"Shengge, didn't you say you wanted to change some jewelry recently? Come and see what you like? Just choose it." Zhang Zhilan said with a kind face and smiled.

The pride on Chen Mengli's face was stiff for a moment, and she unknowingly put down her hand.

Qingpiaopiao glanced at the jewelry stall, and Su Wunian said lightly: "Don't you like it."

"San Gu." The voice of a young man came from behind.

"Shuo'er!" Zhu looked at the voice and said with a smile.

Everyone looked back when they heard the sound. The young man wearing a robe embroidered lotus leaf pattern embroidered with a robe in the color of the Dejian dynasty was leaning over to salute slightly. He raised his body, tall and handsome.

"Mr. Zhu." Chen Mengxi was overjoyed, rubbing her hands in her sleeves, and her smile was filled with shyness.

He smiled and drowsy, "I haven't seen you for many years, why don't Xiao Mengxi call Brother Zhu anymore?"

"I've grown up and no longer the little girl I used to be." Chen Mengxi pouted, as if she was acting coquettish.

Seeing this, a trace of contempt flashed in Zhu's eyes.

The candle knife standing behind Su Wunian carefully looked at Su Wunian's expression, but fortunately there was no wave on the eldest lady's face. Chen Mengxi was too ignorant and was so close to Mr. Zhu. If it weren't for the public, she would have licked her face and put it on her.

I don’t know what I think she and Mr. Zhu have been married since childhood!

"Since you haven't seen Shengge for a long time, today's chance and beautiful scenery, please accompany Shengge around. You will go to the Star Picking Tower together later, and we won't join in the fun." Zhang Zhilan suggested.

"Yes." Mr. Zhu glanced at Su Wunian, wanted to speak but stopped, but finally responded.

Su Wunian and Zhu Xiaohou walked side by side, Zhu Jian and Zhu Xiaohou's personal servant followed behind.
