Chapter 149 Small Gathering (2)

"Why is the third sister so polite, just say anything if you have anything." Nangong Tseng responded with a single sigh, showing the demeanor of the eldest sister.

"Miss Jiang from Duke Enguo's mansion sent me a greeting card today. My grandmother has agreed to let me entertain Miss Jiang in the Mozhu courtyard in three days, and I will ask my eldest sister to help me entertain one or two." Nangong Yue remarked willingly. earnestly requested.

A gentle smile appeared on Nangong Tsang's face, and he said, "Don't worry, third sister, I will definitely come over by then."

She got up and took out a set of rare luminous cups and said, "Third sister, when the time comes, I will bring this set of luminous cups and the wine I brewed myself, and treat Miss Jiang well, what do you think?"

The luminous cup is made of rare dark green jade, which is rare, not to mention this set by Nangong Tseng, the cup body is delicate in texture, and the shades of green are intertwined with translucent patterns, which are very unique and excellent. .

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and chuckled: "If big sister is not afraid of bumping into this set of worthwhile luminous cups, of course I have no objection."

"Look at what you said, it's just a set of cups. Naturally, let it make the best use of it." Nangong Tsang said with a smile.

The two talked for a while, and then Nangong Yue got up and said goodbye.

...

Three days passed in a flash, and it was a good day, the sun was shining and the sky was blue.

Jiang Yixi visited the door as promised, and Nangong Yue got the news and waited at the second door deliberately.

After a while, an exquisite carriage was guided by the servants of the mansion and stopped at the second gate. The one who came down first was a maid who was about sixteen or seven years old. She was wearing a light blue skirt and two buns. He looked down, looking very quiet. The blue-clothed maid put her feet on her feet, then reached out to pick up the curtain. With her help, Jiang Yixi got off the carriage gracefully.

Jiang Yixi was wearing a goose-yellow wide-sleeved Luo skirt, with a double-height fleur-de-lis rose dress hanging from her waist and a jade bead tie. A luan bird and auspicious cloud swayed in her hair, the tassels swayed gently, and the streamers flickered while walking, which was very moving. .

She smiled slightly, with a small pear vortex at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Miss Nangong, it's been a long time since we said goodbye last time."

Nangong Yue greeted her with a smile, "Miss Jiang, please come in."

The two walked through the veranda, rockery, and courtyard, talking and laughing, and the scenery they saw was deep and beautiful, yet solemn, and Jiang Yixi was full of admiration: "As expected of a century-old family, I have never seen such an elegant courtyard in the capital. Family!"

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said, "Everyone in the capital has their own preferences, and they all have their own characteristics, so there is no difference between them!" Although modest, Nangong Yue did not deny Jiang Yixi's praise.

Jiang Yixi followed Nangong Yue all the way to Mozhuyuan and entered the house.

Nangong Yue's room has a three-entry layout, and the small hall for hospitality is separated by a rosewood inlaid flower-and-bird embroidered screen. Although the furnishings are not necessarily gorgeous, and the ornaments on the Duobao grid are just ordinary porcelain, jade, wood carvings, etc., they give people a sense of elegance and simplicity. There is a large splashed ink landscape painting on the wall, occupying more than half of the wall, which makes people feel bright. The three-legged incense burner with sapphire carved dragon buttons on the table is burning with a faint and sweet fragrance, which is clear and sweet, and the fragrance is something I have never smelled before. Among the furnishings in the house, only this incense burner is not of ordinary quality.

Jiang Yixi only felt that the three girls of the Nangong family had unique tastes and were not like the boudoir of ordinary girls.

Nangong Yue smiled and greeted Jiang Yixi to take a seat, while Jiang Yixi took a small square basket made of purple bamboo from the hand of the maid behind him: "Miss Nangong, this is a cake I made by myself. Although the taste is mediocre, it is my own. Mind, I laughed."

"Thank you, Miss Jiang." Nangong Yue took the small basket with a smile, followed by a snort of laughter, "Looking at our girls coming and going, it's very unfamiliar. Sister Xi, can I call you sister?"

"Then I'll ask you to call you Sister Yue." Jiang Yixi hurriedly responded, with a sincere tone, "Sister Yue, if it wasn't for your recipe, my grandmother would have suffered a lot. I don't know how to express my right. Thanks to my sister, I can only make these desserts by myself."

Since the two became sisters, the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious, and they chatted about each other's daily preferences.

After chatting for a while, Nangong Yue noticed that although the makeup on Jiang Yixi's face was delicate, the part blocked by the bangs was a little unnatural. She took a closer look and found that Jiang Yixi had a small pimple under her bangs.

"Sister Xi, please stay here later." Nangong Yue stood up and walked to her bedroom.

"Sister Yue, please do it yourself." Jiang Yixi only thought that Nangong Yue was going to change, but didn't care.

Nangong Yue took a small porcelain box from the dressing table in the bedroom with a pattern of intertwined cyan flowers, returned to the small hall, and handed the porcelain box to Jiang Yixi.

"What is this?" Jiang Yixi was a little curious. She carefully opened the lid, and saw that the light green paste in the box was delicate and refreshing, and the light fragrance was like lily, and it was like adding some mint, which was very pleasant.

"Sister Xi, this is my homemade ointment. The effect of clearing fire and removing dryness is not bad." Nangong Yue said.

Jiang Yixi looked at Nangong Yue with some surprise, and subconsciously stroked the position of the bangs, then smiled, and put it down generously. "Then I would like to thank my sister."

Queer and Thrushi brought tea, melons and fruits and snacks, Yimei came over to report: "Three girls, the eldest girl is here."

Nangong Chen's smiling voice came from outside the door: "Sister Xi, long time no see, you didn't even tell me when you came to the mansion!" There was a hint of affection in her tone.

Although Nangong Tsang and Jiang Yixi had known each other for a short time, they had similar interests, and they were quite able to talk when they met at Duke Enguo's mansion.

Jiang Yixi got up quickly, obviously very happy: "Sister Chen, it's been a long time. We'll see you now."

"If it wasn't for Sister Yue who invited me over, how would you remember me!" Nangong Chen walked over with a bright smile. When he got close, he said to the two maids behind him, "Scholarly, Moxiang, put it away carefully."

"Yes, big girl." Shuxiang and Moxiang lightly placed the luminous glass and wine on the table.

Nangong Chen took the pot himself and poured three glasses: "Try the wine I made and see if you like it or not."

"Luminous cup of wine and wine." Jiang Yixi held up the luminous cup with admiration.

The three girls talked about their daughter's boudoir for an afternoon, and it was not until evening that Jiang Yixi reluctantly left.
