Chapter 107: Look at each other (2)

The other girl wore a dress with lotus color embroidered silver thread and lotus pattern. Her long hair was combed into a concentric bun that young women often comb. There were a few beaded flowers and a jade tassel. The jade tassel was very special. The red jade is cut into a small carp with its head and tail raised, and a few strings of crystal white jade beads fall under its head. It is thinly applied with fat powder, and its skin is very white, with curved eyebrows and willow leaves and eyes, and its expression is calm. It can be seen that it is well-dressed.
Ms. Sun gently replied to Tao Fengxiang's praise: "The three girls have embroidered better than me when they are my age. ,"
Mrs. Sun turned her head and looked at the little aunt's words and expression, but said solemnly: "Well, let's go first to meet Mrs. Tao, so don't delay the third girl. ,"
The farewell girl also said goodbye to Tao Fengxiang, and followed her sister-in-law into the hall.
Tao Fengxiang turned around and said, "A Rong, have you seen it clearly? What do you think? Have you seen her tassel hairpin? The red jade carp above is special, right? Her boudoir's name is Hongli. ,"
From the point of view of this hairpin, which was clearly specially made, the makeup of other girls may not be meager. At least, Lin Yizhi is worthy.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smiled slightly: "It looks pretty good, as if Mrs. Sun's temperament is a bit harsh. ""But with a startling glance, I can't really see clearly. Many people look good at first glance, but they may not be so when they are actually contacted. But what can I do? Unless it is an intimate friend or relative, it is like a big luck, no matter how dissatisfied, you can only blame yourself for bad luck.
Tao Fengxiang whispered: "You are right. The Sun family is not very populous. The old lady passed away very early. This young lady took care of her father-in-law, sister-in-law, and uncle's family as soon as she walked in. A lot of things, can you say she can not be harsh? , Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sighed slightly, even if she was a nice girl, but she was two years older than Lin, and her parents died prematurely. The eldest wife is headed. It is not a good match in the eyes of many people.
To set her down, even if she has a rich makeup," Dow is afraid that she will be criticized a lot, which is really difficult.
No matter what, don't Fan's door anyway.
After a few more tossings, I finally heard Tao Fengxiang say that it was the Fan family who came. Mrs. Fan was a bloated woman in her forties. She was wearing a gold mud shirt and a blue skirt, and wearing a flower crown." She smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, leading her A girl with her head hanging down, wearing a pink and green shirt, and about the same age as Lin Jinrong, was surrounded by two or three girls. Before Tao Fengxiang could speak, Mrs. Fan smiled and said, ""Three girls, long time no see , You have become a big girl.," The tone was familiar and kind, and he scanned Lin Jinrong's body without showing a trace, and even gave Lin Jinrong a kind smile.
Lin Jinrong returned Mrs. Fan with a smile. His eyes fell on Fan Bing behind her. At this moment, Fan's still has not fully grown, his head is a little thin, his hair is combed in a pair of buns, and two ordinary small golden hairpins and beaded flowers are respectively inserted in the buns. Although the pink-green dress is new, his face is clean, his eyes are clear, his expression is silent and submissive, and he is slightly shy, following Mrs. Fan's face "almost without squinting." It looks honest and submissive" and plain.
What a little girl who can dress up. Lin Jinrong sneered slightly, winked at Tao Fengxiang, and followed up to watch the fun.
A large group of women in the room were talking lively. Some people who knew Dow were pulling Dow to retell the past. The others who did not know each other were also introduced to Dow by Wu. While Dow was talking with people, his eyes slipped on Aunt Sun's body from time to time.
Aunt Sun is also greeting her acquaintances. Two young daughter-in-laws are pulling Sun Hongli to look at her dress, praise her female red, and praise the jade tassel Su Chaizi on her head for being elegant and special. Sun Hongli smiled faintly, and answered the people's words gently and politely. The popularity looked pretty good. Mrs. Chi still looked like she didn't smile, she was secretly looking at Dow while she was talking to people.
Although they were still waiting and watching, they had some numbers in each other's hearts. The two eyes met inadvertently, and they were a little embarrassed for a while. Mrs. Sun looked directly at Dow, who was a little displeased, but he nodded at her politely and smiled. Mrs. Sun also laughed, but she never took her eyes away from Dow, and she looked up and down carefully.
Dow thought to himself, it was my family who picked the daughter-in-law, but not your family. I was a little unhappy right now. But her attention was quickly attracted by the mother and daughter of the Fan family who had just entered. Mrs. Fan was not the object of her attention. The girl Fan next to Mrs. Fan was. Seeing Miss Fan didn't raise her head, her eyes were not squinted, she was honest and submissive, shy and timid, taciturn, and she didn't use cosmetics, and she was somewhat satisfied. Concubine with concubine, this is right.
Lin Jinrong looked at Dow's eyes, and he was a little panicked. She knows the psychology of Dow, or the general psychology of most main houses. I think that the concubine deserves to be a concubine, and it is better to be a concubine from a family background, but he is not spoiled, and an honest concubine can not afford to turn the waves.
Looking at these two candidates, Sun Hongli is a prostitute and has a wealthy family. Look at the appearance of her aunt. She is also high-minded and strong-hearted. If her parents were missing, she was an older son, and was despised by others, it would be impossible to marry a concubine who hadn’t seen her future to get angry; and Miss Fan, who had been asking for life under her aunt for a long time, looked at this cowardly, silent, soft and shy The appearance (although it is pretended), it seems to be better.
I have to say that Mrs. Fan felt the same way. She was very accurate about Dow’s mentality of picking a daughter-in-law for his concubine. After looking at Dow, she pretended not to know him, and watched Tao’s girl serve tea and sat still. , Miss Fan got up and took it personally, and then respectfully offered it with both hands, just took it lightly, and took a sip. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but sympathize with Girl Fan a little bit. She was brought out for the first time when she was married, but it was like this. However, she saw Miss Fan's face as usual. When Mrs. Fan finished drinking the tea, she stepped forward to take it and put it away. She did not sit down, and she stood quietly beside Mrs. Fan. It wasn't until Mrs. Fan spoke that she sat next to Mrs. Fan in a proper manner, advancing and retreating as usual, with proper etiquette.
Seeing this, even if everyone slandered Mrs. Fan as fierce as a tigress, they still had to admire her strict rules and uprightness, and they had to think about it, if the people in their house and the concubines and concubines were so obedient and obedient. , Isn't it a lot of heart?
Lin Jinrong looked at Dow again, and saw that Dow’s eyes were a little bit more permissive. She couldn’t help but sighed secretly without looking at the other aunts. It’s no wonder that the eldest aunt Zhou would choose this Fan family. The old lady thought I didn't want to agree to it, not necessarily because I was uneasy and kind, and wanted to disagree with my wife and daughter-in-law. Fight to death and life. From the rough point of view now, Miss Fan is more suitable for Lin Yizhi than the red carp, regardless of her family background, identity and temperament. But this man was determined not to enter the Lin family. His gloomy and sinister temperament was enough for one to drink a pot. Lin Jinrong was thinking hard about how to break this marriage in a logical way. She didn't want to make a big mess, as long as Dow didn't look at Girl Fan.
Not long after the guests arrived, the Wu family led them to the theater outside to watch the theater. Everyone was seated except Tao Fengqing who was still not free. The Wu family deliberately arranged for Mrs. Fan to have a table with Dow, and Aunt Sun and Lin Jinrong and Miss Fan to sit at the next table.
Lin Jinrong pricked her ears and listened. Mrs. Fan made a conversation with Dow in a natural way, and flatly praised Dow. She chose words that Dow liked to say that Dow was ridiculed by her and even said she interesting.
As the two talked, their heads moved to one place, and their eyes floated to Girl Fan.
Aunt Sun's sister-in-law seems to understand something. Sun Hongli's face is covered with powder, and her eyes are down again. She can't see anything unusual, but there is a trace of shame in Don't wife's eyes, she looks at Dow. The look in his eyes was a bit unhappy, but for some compelling reason, Shengsheng swallowed, then gave Fan's mother and daughter a hateful look, and knocked off the melon seeds with anger.
Girl Fan's seat happened to be next to Lin Jinrong, her eyes half-downcast, and she didn't eat much, but she didn't look fascinated by the theater.
Just pretend to be dull and honest! Can't eat anything, are you afraid that the marriage will not happen? Lin Jinrong held his chin and thought for a while, picked up the dish with longan in front of him, smiled and handed it to Aunt Sun Hongli: "Mrs. Sun and Miss Sun eat fruit." The sleeves inadvertently knocked over the teacup in front of him, and the teacup gurgled. After two times, she finally fell down, and the tea was poured over Miss Fan.
Miss Fan finally showed a trace of panic on her dull face, she hurriedly got up to shake her tea, and the woman behind her hurriedly took out a veil to wipe her dress, but the clothes were too pink and she was already covered with tea in a flash It's soaked, and it looks like it can't be worn.
Not far away Tao Fengxiang also raised his finger at Lin Jinrong, indicating that she had become bad. Lin Jinrong ignored Tao Fengxiang with a look of astonishment on his face. After a while, he sincerely apologized: "Sorry, sister, I didn't mean it. It's all mine. I'll pay you for a dress. Huh?" While talking, she took her veil and wiped it on Miss Fan, but her eyes were looking at Aunt Sun.
But seeing a trace of ridicule flashed in Mrs. Cut's eyes, she looked up with disdain, don't lower her eyes, asked the girl for a veil, silently wiped the tea on the table, and cooperated with the girl to clean the table. .
Girl Fan stared at the tea stains on her new clothes, her eyes were a little red, she glanced at Mrs. Fan timidly, and said dryly: "It's okay."
Over there, Mrs. Fan and Tao Zai had already noticed the small commotion here, Mrs. Fan's face was kind of amiable, but Tao Shi gave Lin Jinrong a warning look. Lin Jinrong looked innocent and pulled Ms. Fan up to laugh with Dow, "Mother, I am clumsy. I soiled this sister's dress. We are about the same size. I happen to have no one. Can I pay this sister for the new clothes I wore?"
