It is popular nowadays from the first to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Relatives and friends take turns to treat guests to dinner. Not only do relatives walk around, but also friends also invite each other to drink.
For example, among high-ranking families, these interpersonal relationships are more involved, which creates a conflict. In total, only fifteen days, how can you get busy with each other?
Therefore, there is a new trick, that is, disperse.
For example, if you meet the same day, you will go to the family alone.
And you have to schedule the date in advance to avoid being unable to get out of someone after hitting him or not. It is a bit embarrassing.
I am even more afraid that people will think that you have gone to this house but not to that house, and some of them cannot be used by others. For example, some of Xie Yuncang’s colleagues in the officialdom are hard to ask their family members to go.
There is another exception here, that is, among the girls who are not married.
First of all, it is difficult for a girl's family to go out alone to meet guests. If it is a family move, it will be not good to send an unmarried girl's house.
Secondly, if you go out to meet, it is not too much for my daughter to take her home.
Therefore, this is the first month, and the ladies of high-ranking families also start to hold tea parties.
Over the years, the trend has become more and more popular, and the attention here has become more and more.
For example, just like those adults treating each other, you need to come here to invite them in the next post.
And here, there is a family difference.
For example, such as the Prince Huai Mansion, the Princess Mansion, or the Duke of England, and the Gao Mansion, the guests of the girls are particularly eye-catching.
When you really get to the upper class, you pay attention to a circle.
Nowadays, the girls who are just having fun at the banquet. After a few years, they will be the wives in various mansions. The connections they hold in their hands can help their fathers and brothers.
Therefore, the adults in the family were happy to see that their daughters could receive invitations from girls who were taller than their families.
The Gao Mansion had no contact with the Xie family in the past, but it only became a little close to me in the past six months, and it was only limited to the inner house.
Now the eldest girl from the Gao family has personally sent an invitation to invite the three girls from the Xie family. Where are the people in the Xie family unhappy?
Even Xie Yuncang agreed.
Xie Yuncang, the Gao family, may still be watching and not wanting to get too close to him, but it is another matter for the daughters to go to the Gao family to have a banquet. After all, no one will regard the girls' exchanges as two families walking around.
Before Xie Songhua could refuse, the old lady asked someone to send clothes and jewelry.
Shaoyao smiled and said, "The old lady said that the girl has always been bad and she has not gone out to walk during the Chinese New Year. She must dress up brightly at this time to suppress her illness. After the Chinese New Year, everything will be fine."
Shaoyao walked over with a tray all the way, and everyone in the mansion soon knew about it.
Xie Songhua also knew what the old lady meant. The prince had released the rumors before, and she wanted Xie Songhua to go out and earn her face to come back.
But what can she use to make face for a half-baked lady?
But if you want to refuse, there are two ways to do it, either pretending to be sick or something unexpected.
Xie Songhua could have thought of it, but what after that?
The Xie family doesn’t want a useless daughter, she knew this when she first came to the Xie family.
It is important to have Xie Yuncang's blood flowing on his body, but it is not that important. The most important thing is that she has to be like a daughter of the Xie family.
If she is now dormant because of the prince, why are she hiding again?
Yu Ruzhuo was surprised that she decided to participate, "Are you really planning to go? The battlefield of these women in the boudoir is no weaker than the men's."
"There will always be a day when I go out to see the world. If I have never been wandering around this room, wouldn't I be too unambitious?"
When the old lady heard that Xie Songhua came to inquire about the preferences and habits of the eldest girl in the Gao family, she smiled, "This is what my girl in the Xie family should look like. She doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but it's the most important thing to be afraid of trouble when encountering trouble."
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Xie Songhua was indeed dressed up and came out.
I saw her wearing a rose purple makeup and still-beautiful wool dress, a goose yellow horse-faced skirt underneath, a single snail bun, a phoenix hairpin, and a bead-carrying tassels made of extremely small beads, and even a bright pink light.
Originally, such rose-purple clothes are the easiest to suppress others, so most people and noble ladies have to apply powder heavily when wearing this color.
But in this way, it will become more mature. Therefore, most girls don’t wear this at home, but most women wear it.
The side-born Xie Songhua dressed no problem at all. A few months after she returned to the Xie family, some people said that her foundation was white and she could always come back.
Unexpectedly, after more than half a year, it was even whiter than Xie Sihua, who had the whitest skin.
He also had a pair of round eyes, leaving a smooth forehead, and was only decorated with the broken hair on his temples, which immediately complemented the clothes.
Xie Shuhua glanced at Xie Songhua and was stunned immediately, feeling a little confused for no reason.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, at this moment, she had to say that Xie Songhua was indeed well born.
Sitting with Xie Sihua, the two sisters were like spring flowers and autumn moons. On the contrary, she had fallen into this appearance.
Xie Shuhua complained to the old lady in her heart again. She had never seen such good jewelry for so many years. In the past, she often said that she was her favorite granddaughter, and it was just a talk.
The three sisters were riding in the same carriage, but no one was willing to pay attention to anyone.
Xie Sihua has always been proud, but now he seems to have a future when he sees them, and he is even more reluctant to flatter him. He just keeps his eyes closed and pretends to be asleep.
The alley at the side door of the Gao family had been blocked by a carriage.
I think it is true that during such a lively season, the Gao family’s banquets are probably not allowed to be stopped, and it is normal that there are many guests every day.
After entering the second gate, I followed the servant who led the way and realized how lively it was.
Xie Songhua also saw what the situation was like for the inner house of this top nobleman in the dynasty.
Although the servants who were traveling around were constantly walking around, they looked very well organized and did not mess at all. Even when they saw guests they didn't know, they were not neglected at all. The auspicious words were not stubborn at all, and they also made people feel at home.
As he headed to the flower hall arranged by Gao Ying, Xie Songhua heard the voices of three different opera troupes, which showed his prosperity.
The worst thing is that the Gao family's garden is really big, and there is more than one. When I walked over from the place where I got off the carriage, I walked for two quarters of an hour.
I don’t know how much reward I gave along the way, so Xie Songhua had to feel sorry for him in his heart.
"Ah! Are you here, third sister, fourth sister, seven sister?"
Hearing the voice of a girl, Xie Songhua hurriedly looked over and found that he knew Zhou Meng, the third girl from Zhou Wenyou's family.
However, it was obvious that Mama Zhou was still familiar with Xie Shuhua and Xie Sihua, but after saying hello to her, she went to joke with the other two.
She replaced the master and welcomed them in. Xie Songhua was immediately seen by Yingying and Yanyan in the room.
"This is the fourth girl from the Xie family! We have seen you two sisters, and this is the first time I have seen the fourth girl!"
A girl came up with a smile, then took Xie Songhua's arm and dragged her in, "Let's see the beauty."
