Dressed As An Ancient Heroine Control Group - Chapter 242
The Du family were all sitting in the room. The main seats were Mr. Du and Mrs. Du, followed by Du Ke and Mrs. Du. The first two seats below Du Ke were vacant, and then the two sons-in-laws of Du Ke came down. The two seats below Mrs. Du are also vacant, and further down are the two daughters of the Du family, followed by several children.
At this moment, everyone inside was looking at the door. They had thought about Yang Haiyan’s appearance, because they knew that Yang Haiyan was born as a maid, so even if she is now a second-rank wife, everyone’s thoughts about her are still very complicated. At the very least, it should not be comparable to the daughter of an aristocratic family or a wife of an aristocratic family in all aspects, but in terms of rank, it is higher than everyone else.
All in all, it is a maid wearing a second-rank nobility.
However, when they saw Yang Haiyan himself, they were really surprised. The woman in front of her was dressed in dazzling red, her hair style was simple and luxurious, and there was a pearl hairpin in her hair. The woman’s complexion is very white, so she is more dazzling in the red dress. Even if the hairpin is simple, it will not damage her temperament, but looking at her temperament, she is definitely very well-cultivated, like being from a noble family.
Yang Haiyan doesn’t like to wear hairpins. Who likes to wear hairpins in modern times? You must know that the ancient hairpins are not light, and the heavy hairpins on the head are very uncomfortable.
Compared with Yang Haiyan’s red dress, Qin Fang is dressed in black, and he wears black all the year round. It’s just that a thin red belt is embellished around the waist, so that the black is not too dull.
Looking at the little boy on the other side, he is also dressed in red, red clothes and red trousers. The clothes and trousers are separate, not like a common robe, but this kind of dress makes the child more flexible. In addition, he has a small braid on his head, and the hair band on the small braid is also red, which makes people feel festive when looking at him.
In fact, the reason why Yang Haiyan chose to wear red is because she thinks it is better to dress brightly when she is visiting for the first time. Besides, she is young, and it is not suitable to wear too heavy or too plain colors. Moreover, she didn’t know what color clothes the daughters of the Du family would wear today, so as not to clash, so she chose red.
But a family of three dressed up like a son-in-law bringing his daughter-in-law and son back to Yue’s house.
The old lady Du spoke first: “Jiao Ke is here. Since yesterday I learned that you are coming today, everyone has been looking forward to it.”
Mrs Qu said, “No. Sister, this is grandmother.”
Yang Haiyan saluted: “I have seen the old lady.”
Du Ke said: “What’s the name of the old lady, it’s fine to call it grandmother. You are the goddaughter of the Du family, so naturally you are no different from your own daughter.”
Mrs. Du said, “No, girl, I am the godmother.”
Sister Du: “Sister, I’m the eldest sister.”
Second Sister Du: “Sister, I am Second Sister.”
Because everyone knew Qin Fang, naturally no one introduced him.
Yang Haiyan called out one by one: “Grandmother, grandfather, teacher, godmother, eldest sister, second sister, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law.”
The Du family members are relatively straightforward, and there are no cowardly people, which has something to do with the environment of the Du residence. Du Ke is a fan of officials, not obsessed with the backyard, so his backyard is very clean. There is only one wife and one concubine. This concubine is Mrs. Du’s maid. When she was pregnant, she became Du Ke’s roommate. She raised her identity and became Du Ke’s concubine. Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter of the Du residence came from Mrs. Du’s belly, and the concubine gave birth to the concubine and the concubine. Therefore, Du Ke’s backyard is relatively peaceful, so that the children’s growth is very harmonious. There is no competition between you and me, so there is no messy character. The backyard is very important to the growth of children.
Compared with the strictness towards the eldest son, Du Xingran’s son had a much easier life, so his character was more jumpy.
After the adults introduced the acquaintance, the next step was the children.
The Du family’s eldest brother and his family were not there. The children present were the children of Du’s eldest sister, Du’s second sister and Du Xingran’s family. Sister Du’s family has two boys, a five-year-old and a three-year-old. Sister Du has only one daughter, who is five years old this year. Du Xingran’s family has two daughters, one is six and the other is three.
The children greeted Yang Haiyan, and of course, Qin Linyang also greeted the elders of the Du family obediently.
After the ceremony, it was time to give gifts. The gifts that the Du family prepared for Qin Linyang’s children were relatively expensive. Mrs. Du gave Qin Linyang a collar with patterns and characters on it. This type of collar is mostly customized for the elders for the younger generation, also known as the life-saving ring. For warding off evil spirits.
And Mrs. Du gave Qin Linyang a jade Guanyin, and the jade Guanyin who had opened the Buddha’s light was also very attentive. Sister Du gave Qin Linyang a silver lock for longevity, while second sister Du gave Qin Linyang a pair of silver bracelets, which were matched with the lock of longevity, and the two sisters also discussed it.
Mr. Qu made a set of clothes for Qin Linyang, which he made by himself. It seems that no other gifts are valuable, but the things they make are more thoughtful. For a family like them who are not short of money, some of their intentions are not measured by silver.
Yang Haiyan did not refuse, and accepted these gifts one by one: “Son, I have received gifts from everyone, what are you going to say?”
Qin Linyang made a gesture of celebrating his birthday as a boy, and bowed his hands and said, “Thank you, Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Zeng, Auntie, and Grandma.” Because the family was called Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Zeng, and Grandma Zeng, he also Called like that. As for this posture, he is too skilled. When he sees every elder during the Chinese New Year, he has to do it on one side, and then take the lucky money. The little guy is still very clever.
At this moment, he had already put on the collar given by Mrs. Du around his neck, but when the little man bowed his hands, he was really cute. Moreover, the child could not stand still, and swayed when bending over, causing a group of people to laugh.
Mrs. Du said: “Okay, what a good boy, come and eat cakes, do you like it?”
Qin Linyang’s children are never vague about what they eat: “Eating meals grow taller.” After saying that, he went to Mrs. Du’s place to get snacks.
The elderly like this kind of lively and daring children the most. If they are older, they may not be polite, but children of two or three years old are innocent.
Qin Linyang took a piece of dessert, took another bite, then returned to Yang Haiyan and said, “Mother, it’s delicious.”
Yang Haiyan said: “If it’s delicious, eat a few more pieces later, okay?”
Qin Linyang said happily: “Okay.”
Yang Haiyan joked again: “But this is Grandma Zeng’s dessert. If you want to eat more, you have to ask Grandma Zeng if she agrees.”
When Qin Linyang heard this, he turned his head and asked Mrs. Du, “Grandma Zeng, can I eat more?”
The old lady Du who asked this was heartbroken, and the old lady Du hurriedly said, “It’s all yours.”
When the little boy heard this, his brows and eyes were all smiles.
Yang Haiyan shook her head with a smile, and said, “Grandma, godmother, two elder sisters, and second sister-in-law, I also prepared gifts for you, please don’t be polite.”
At this moment, Du Ke has taken the students, son and son-in-law to the study, and there are only daughters and children in the hall.
Mrs. Du smiled and said, “You child, why are you being so polite? Treat this place as your mother’s home, and when my daughter returns to her mother’s home, where should I prepare?” They all knew Yang Haiyan’s identity. She was sold by her parents at the beginning, so It means that she has no parents. Old Mrs. Du asked her to treat Du Mansion as her parents’ home. Obviously, she was also raising her up. It was polite and kind.
Yang Haiyan said: “Where are you, when the government sent us things to Yunxiang County in the past, we were not polite. Today you are polite to me. Besides, this is not a precious gift from me.”
Sister Du said, “Grandmother, since Sister Bingyun said this, we will not be polite to her. We all say that she is a delicate and slender person. I am also curious about what she has brought us, but it is better than watermelon?”
Yang Haiyan couldn’t help but smile.
That’s right, for an aristocratic young lady like Sister Du, what else is there that she hasn’t seen before? Maybe it’s really not as attractive as watermelon. “The watermelon has been planted in the manor outside the capital this year, and I will bring it to everyone in August.”
Having said that, Yang Haiyan asked Mama Lian to bring the gift. She took out five jars of wine first: “This is medicinal wine, used to strengthen the body, it is most suitable for grandpa, teacher, second brother Du and two brothers-in-law to drink, but before drinking, you have to ask the doctor to take a look “This is wine made from Cordyceps sinensis, which is mild in nature and can be eaten by ordinary people. It is mainly to give things to men. It is not easy to send. If you send this, it is more risk-averse and will not cause unnecessary gossip.
When it comes to asking for wine, Mrs. Du remembered the wine Yang Haiyan had sent before, and it was delicious. “If the old man knows that he is drinking, he will be happy.” The medicinal wine is different from ordinary wine. If it is suitable for the old man, Mrs. Du will naturally not let the old man drink it.
Five jars of wine, one jar per person, because Du’s family was not in the house, so they were not prepared.
Next, Yang Haiyan took out five sets of cosmetics, only face cream and lipstick, which were all packed in wooden boxes, the face cream box was square, and the lipstick box was round: “This is what we women use, apply it on the face On the top and on the lips.” Yang Haiyan felt that no woman would dislike cosmetics, especially women like aristocratic family, pay more attention to this image.
As soon as they heard Yang Haiyan say this, the two sisters of the Du family and the Qu family were most interested. Sister Du first asked: “I wanted to ask when the girl came just now. Not only is her skin fair, but she is also in good shape, especially today’s mouth fat, which is very good-looking.” The mouth fat she uses on weekdays is a little dry. It’s not as glossy as the lipstick used by girls.
Second Sister Du also said: “Indeed, I look at the color of the girl’s mouth fat and look good.”
Yang Haiyan said: “I made this one that I use on weekdays. It’s the same as the one here. Sisters can use it and see it. If you like it, you can ask me for it.”
Qu Shi was curious and had already opened the cream: “It’s fragrant, this is the fragrance of flowers, did you apply it on your face?”
Yang Haiyan said: “Yes, apply it after washing your face, it can make the skin smooth.” After speaking, Yang Haiyan also said to her son, “Linyang, give these dolls made by mother to my sister, and give the car to my brother.”
Qin Linyang said in a milky voice, “Okay, brothers and sisters, come here soon.”
The children glanced at their mothers, saw them nodding, and surrounded Qin Linyang. Qin Linyang’s children began to distribute gifts to their brothers and sisters. The sisters were all rabbit backpacks made by Yang Haiyan, and the brother was a car toy custom-made by the carpentry workshop.
Whether it’s my sister or my brother, they all love the gifts they receive. Little girls like dolls like little boys like water guns and toy cars.
Qin Linyang’s child also pulled Sister Du’s youngest son and said, “I have a big car at home, such a big car.”
The little boy blinked when he heard Qin Linyang’s words: “I also have a carriage at home, and it’s so big.”
Qin Linyang already knew what a carriage was. He explained, “It’s not a carriage, it’s this one… it’s so big…”
The little boy looked at the car in his hand, thinking about the big car that the younger brother said on the opposite side, he was very curious: “Go and see.”
Qin Linyang said cheerfully, “Let’s go, let me see.” In fact, the two walked out holding hands.
Seeing this, Yang Haiyan couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how to get home?”
Qin Linyang’s little friend said, “Mother knows.” It means, mother, are you not going home?
Mrs. Du said, “Linyang, you haven’t finished eating the cake yet? Don’t you want to eat it?”
Qin Linyang looked at the cakes, and then at the boy dug: “Go home and eat.” There are also cakes at home. Between eating and playing with friends, it must be important to play with friends. Mainly when he was in Yunxiang County, he had no friends of the same age, and he was very happy when he finally met one.
Mrs. Du has a grandson, but she is away with her eldest son, so seeing Qin Linyang’s child is like seeing her own grandson, and she likes it very much. Moreover, this child is clever and really likable, so she also wants to tease him. “Then you can eat a good cake and go home to play the car.”
When Qin Linyang heard this, he thought it made sense: “Okay.” He walked to Mrs. Du’s side again, held up the bowl, then walked to the children and distributed the cakes to everyone: “Eat well, let’s go play. Big cart, eat well and we can grow taller.”
He was really not afraid of life at all, as if he was the little master, and it made everyone laugh.
But after the children ate the cakes, Du Xingran’s daughter took them to play in the yard.
Yang Haiyan came to the capital for the first time. Even though she grew up in the capital, she was a maid at that time and didn’t understand many things. And Nanny Lian has been away from the capital for a long time, so she naturally doesn’t understand the current situation in the capital. So there are some things, Yang Haiyan has to ask Mrs. Du.
After the children went out, Yang Haiyan asked without any scruples: “Godmother, what should we pay attention to this time in the capital?” So as not to bump into some people who don’t do it and offend.
And Qin Fang and Du Ke are in a teacher-student relationship. Whenever there is a conflict with Du Ke, the Qin family should pay attention. In addition, there are some matters in the women’s world, Yang Haiyan has to ask Mrs. Du one by one.
