After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 9 “Don’t be too showy”

We had just had a grand banquet at noon, but in the evening, the dishes became much lighter. Fortunately, the chef at Hou Mansion was very good at cooking, so even simple porridge and side dishes tasted unique.

During the dinner, Xue Shu had no chance to use her chopsticks. As long as her eyes paused at a certain place, three pairs of chopsticks would put the food into her bowl. The portion was amazing. After two rounds,

She couldn't eat anymore.

Qingyu knew how much she ate, and when she saw her leaning back in her chair, she knew she had eaten too much, so she left the flower hall quietly, and when she came back, she held a cup of red hawthorn juice in her hand.

Xue Shu took the hawthorn juice and took a sip, looking at Qingyu approvingly.

This girl was obviously coming to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and she didn't know where she found the hawthorn juice. She was really clever.

Everyone had spent a lot of time together today, and everything that needed to be said had already been said. The reason why Xue Shu was left to have dinner was just to be rare with her for a while.

But Xue Shu was already tired from walking in the garden today, and she showed tiredness after sitting for a short time. When Xue Lu saw it, she simply took her brother and sister home. Anyway, they would be able to see each other again in the harem banquet in two days.

.

Although the Zhenbei Hou family was reluctant to leave, they couldn't bear to see Xue Shu sitting there with all her strength, so they had no choice but to put the mother and daughter into the carriage, and then watched the carriage drive away.

Xue Shu was so tired that she fell asleep halfway. When she got home, she could no longer scream. In the end, Xue Chen gently picked her up with his hands and feet and took her back to Yuegui Xiaozhu.

Early the next morning, Xue Shu woke up in her room. She was stunned for a moment, then got up and called Qingyu.

"Girl, Mother Zhang has brought the clothes for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Do you want to take a look, girl?" Qingyu walked into the room and only put away the bed curtains. She was not in a hurry to dress her up. "Ms. Chun made it with her own hands.

I haven’t seen these clothes yet! Open them and take a look, girl—”

Xue Shu nodded, and Qingyu quickly turned around and went out, asking someone to bring the box in.

A mahogany box with an osmanthus pattern carved on it, and a Qiluofang seal affixed to it.

Qiluofang is the number one clothing workshop in the capital. It has hundreds of skilled embroiderers. Among them, Lady Chun is the most powerful. The clothes she makes are even comparable to those of the embroiderers in the palace.

But Mrs. Chun has an eccentric temperament and a noble personality, and is not willing to bother making clothes for the noble ladies in the capital.

I don’t know what method Xue Lu used to invite her.

Qingyu stepped forward and tore off the seal, carefully took the clothes out of the box, and hung them on the hanger, fearing that if she was too heavy-handed, she would ruin the clothes.

There are three pieces in this set of clothes. One is a goose-yellow long gown with a stand-up collar and slanted front and wide sleeves. The cuffs on both sides are embroidered with several branches of osmanthus flowers. The stitching is fine and the pattern is not fancy, but it can also show the profound skill of the embroiderer.

There is also a green horse-faced skirt. The embroidery on the skirt is much more complicated than the gown. It has a circle of embroidered images of jade rabbits worshiping the moon. The jade rabbits are all vivid. If you look closely, even the hair on the jade rabbit's body can be seen.

.

The third piece is a jacket, the color is like the ripe persimmons on the branches. Like the gown, it only has some osmanthus patterns embroidered on it, which is simple and smart.

"It is indeed Miss Chun's craftsmanship..." Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously wanted to reach out and touch those extremely delicate embroideries. However, as soon as her hand touched the clothes, she shrank suddenly as if she had been stung.

return.

Qingyu clenched her rebellious right hand into a fist, mentally cursing herself for overstepping, and turned her head uneasily. When she saw Xue Shu looking at her with a smile, she knew that her master did not take this matter to heart, so she relaxed.

He took a breath, stood there and giggled twice.

Xue Shu shook her head helplessly and said: "Stop haha, put your clothes away quickly, your girl is going to starve to death."

The hawthorn juice she had last night was really helpful. She almost woke up from hunger this morning.

"Yes!" Qingyu said, being extremely careful again, she put her clothes back into the box. Then she returned to her usual neat appearance, walked out of the bedroom briskly, and came back soon with two food boxes.

.

After breakfast, Xue Shu moved to her bed and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch in the corridor.

Xue Shu looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard and was lost in thought again.

At the palace banquet in her previous life, she also wore this dress made by Mrs. Chun herself. She was also dressed up and stole the show at the palace banquet.

But at that time, she thought that Mr. Xue Lu wanted her to attract Sheng Gu's attention and make good use of this marriage.

It seems now that her idea at that time was probably wrong.

It is estimated that Mrs. Xue Lu never cared about her marriage to Changsheng Hou Mansion from the beginning. She asked Madam Chun to make clothes for her so that she could see other people at the palace banquet. Unfortunately, she was too stupid in her previous life and would make mistakes.

Got it.

Xue Shu felt worried and sighed.

In her previous life, she trusted an unjust person and almost cost her her own life, leaving a knot in her heart ever since.

Nowadays, no matter which man she meets, she feels that he cannot be trusted. She just wants to stay far away from all men, and is not willing to look at him again, let alone sit together and watch each other.

Xue Shu sighed again, feeling that there would probably be trouble at the palace banquet in the future.

Forget it, for now, we can only block it with soldiers and water and soil. Fortunately, there is no Chu Chu at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so she doesn't have to worry about suddenly losing her mind. When the time comes, she will naturally have a countermeasure.

——

The two days passed by in the blink of an eye like running water.

On the day of the palace banquet, although Xue Shu had already told her "don't be too showy" many times, Qingyu seemed not to hear her. The genius just pulled her out of the bed and called two or three dexterous girls.

He bathed and changed her clothes, cleansed her face and put on makeup without any ambiguity.

Xue Shu had no choice but to close her eyes and let them play around like a puppet on strings.

After more than an hour, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the rhombus mirror to Xue Shu's hand with a smile: "Girl! Look! It looks so beautiful!"

Xue Shu took the crystal mirror and glanced at it.

The woman in the mirror lightly applied makeup and lightly swept her eyebrows. Her makeup was not heavy, but she looked more energetic, which was just right for her age.

However, it was hard for Xue Shu to find her face amazing. She just nodded lightly, handed the crystal mirror back to Qingyu, and urged her to quickly change her clothes.

Qingyu pouted and asked the other female servants in the room to step back. Then, as she did yesterday, she carefully took out the clothes from the precious mahogany box and put them on Xue Shu one by one.

Xue Shu was born with slim shoulders and a slim waist, and when she put on such a set of clothes, she looked even more slender and graceful.

After changing Xue Shu's clothes, Qingyu couldn't move her eyes away.

Just at this moment, Mrs. Xue Lu pushed open the door and came in. When she saw Xue Shu's dress, she immediately smiled and rolled her eyes: "Not bad, not bad, my son will definitely shine today and be the most beautiful among all the girls!"

Xue Shu smiled on her face, but felt bitter in her heart.

She doesn't want to be in the limelight at all.

Mrs. Xue Lu didn't know what she was thinking. She walked around her several times and couldn't stop praising her. It wasn't until Zhang's mother came to urge her that she got down to business: "I have to enter the palace in advance. After you enter the palace today,

You must pay special attention to etiquette and rules, and don't let anyone take advantage of such trivial details."

Xue Lu had always been on good terms with the Queen. Whenever there was a banquet in the palace, she would always go to the palace in advance to help the Queen with some trivial matters.

"Yes, mother and daughter both know." Xue Shu nodded.

Mrs. Xue Lu was still worried, and she gave several instructions before she was willing to leave. Before leaving, she also rewarded Qingyu with a lot of money and several other maids who dressed up Xue Shu. The whole room was filled with laughter, and Xue Shu was also

Such an atmosphere was contagious and temporarily put away the anxiety in my heart.
