It is not easy for a daughter of a wealthy family to go out. The clan raises the girl in the boudoir, rarely seeing outsiders. There are not many opportunities to go out throughout the year. If you want to go out, you have to find a reason to inform the mistress of the house and bring it with you. Only a maidservant can pass through.
Now the Wang family is in charge of the backyard of Jinning Marquis Mansion. Su Wan has to go through her before going out. He must ask her for permission first, and if she agrees to pass on the message, then the guard at the door will let him go.
Xiao Pei was still recuperating. Su Wan took Xiao Sang and the two guards arranged for her by Su Xun, and walked out of the door. At this time, a carriage for transportation was also prepared at the door, and the four of them got on. Su Wan and Xiao Sang were sitting in the carriage, while the two guards were sitting at the curtain door of the carriage, sitting with the driver.
The coachman drove forward, and the carriage swayed. Su Wan gathered up her long-sleeved shirt and reached out to touch the wide sleeves. The new peach pattern on them was finely broken. She stretched out her hand to hold the hairpin between her temples. Then he asked: "Xiao Sang, am I dressed okay today?"
"Okay, the girl is the prettiest." Xiao Sang nodded vigorously after saying that his girl is naturally good-looking. Xiao Sang feels that there is no one more beautiful in the world than his girl.
At this time, Su Wan was wearing a lilac-colored dress. The dress was elegant and graceful. A circle of spring peaches was embroidered on the edge of the large-sleeved shirt, which added a bit of beauty. There was a pink crystal bead on the ear, and she was combing her hair. The girl's favorite fringed bun is only fixed with a jewel-encrusted tourmaline hairpin in her hair.
The carriage swayed a little as it drove, and the hairpin petals and spikes on her head swayed gently, with a graceful and graceful appearance that contained the delicate beauty of a girl.
Su Wan felt a little relieved after hearing what Xiao Sang said. Su Wan is actually a very down-to-earth person and doesn't like to dream about things. She was invited to meet Li Lin, so naturally she wanted to dress herself up beautifully. Meet people in a bright light.
Although she has no feelings for the other person now, she just thinks he is a suitable candidate, but feelings can also be cultivated. If they fall in love with each other, it will be a good thing that everyone will be happy with.
But this dress also requires skills. The Li family has no money, and Li Lin is also a poor boy. If she is too fancy, the other party will definitely not like it. The tangle goes back and forth, but this look is beautiful and refreshing.
The car drove on the street and arrived at Yuxiang Pavilion in about half an hour (about 40 minutes). Yuxiang Pavilion is located on Qinghe Street, the most prosperous street in the Imperial City. That street is close to Bibo Lake, the inner lake of the Imperial City. , if you lean on the attic outside the street, you can see the scenery of Bibo Lake from a distance.
Fengxue Tower is located on the edge of Bibo Lake. It is not very far away from Yuxiang Pavilion. It is only a cup of tea (15 minutes) to walk there. Su Wan said he wanted to go to Yuxiang Pavilion, so naturally he couldn't. If you don't go, just to show off, you still have to go.
The carriages in each mansion were stamped with labels. As soon as Su Wan's carriage arrived at the entrance of Yuxiang Pavilion, a maid from the pavilion, Yu He, came to entertain her. Xiao Pei got off the carriage and then helped Su Wan out of the carriage with a small stool. .
Yuhe stepped forward and said with a friendly smile: "Why did Miss Six come in person today?"
Yuxiang Pavilion is one of the famous incense pavilions in the Imperial City. It is engaged in the cosmetics business for girls. In the past, this high-end mansion wanted to use their things, so they sent someone to notify them, and someone would naturally deliver the things to their door for them to choose from. .
There are twelve maids like Yuhe in Yuxiang Pavilion, each responsible for entertaining the ladies and ladies of several mansions. Yuhe is responsible for the affairs of the Jinninghou Mansion. For the several noblewomen of the Jinninghou Mansion, , she is naturally very familiar with it.
"I'm bored after staying in the house all day. Let's go out for a walk, and then go to Fengxue Pavilion to listen to books and drink tea later." Su Wan smiled and talked to her while walking towards Yuxiang Pavilion, "I heard that your shop is here I bought a new lipstick called Qingyan, which has a light and pleasant color.”
"There is indeed such a thing. It was sent from Jiangzhou. Miss Six also knows that the girls from Jiangzhou are not as valuable as those in our imperial city. Most clans with heirlooms of poems and books especially like elegant clothes. I also prefer plain makeup.”
"This light cigarette has a little bit of lip fat, but it's very suitable for casual wear at home."
The ladies of the imperial city always dress up well when going out, but they are a little more casual at home. However, it would seem dull to dress plainly and elegantly at home without applying makeup. At this time, apply a little "light smoke" lipstick, Adds a bit of color.
"Besides this, there is also a new peach lip balm. There are only a few boxes of this lip balm. Yuhe will ask the shopkeeper to take out a box for Miss Six."
"I look at Miss Six's outfit today. She looks as pretty as peach blossoms in spring. It goes well with this lipstick."
Su Wan originally had no such thoughts, and coming to Yuxiang Pavilion was just an excuse. But after hearing what she said, he felt that today could not be in vain, so he said, "Then let's take a look."
"Okay, Miss Six, let's go to the yard at the back. I'll have someone get ready."
"Yes." Su Wan followed Yuhe to the courtyard behind, Xiao Sang followed her, the driver drove the carriage to the open space next to it, and the guards stayed in the reception hall outside Yuxiang Pavilion to wait.
Yuxiang Pavilion is a business for girls and women, so the men and accompanying guards have to wait in the lobby on the first floor. Yuxiang Pavilion is not small. The attic in front of it has three floors. Walk in from the lobby , there is even a small courtyard with extremely elegant pavilions and pavilions.
The second and third floors are open to the public. Girls and ladies can go upstairs to choose makeup, but the small courtyard at the back usually only entertains some ladies and ladies.
Yuhe led Su Wan to the courtyard and sat down at a waterside tea seat next to the window.
A maid wearing a green blouse with a cross-breasted skirt poured water to make tea and asked Su Wan with a smile: "What kind of tea would Miss Six want to drink?"
Su Wan glanced around. The waterside pavilion faced a small pool with lotus leaves on it. The breeze rippled the waves. The plain white gauze curtain swayed slightly. There was a string of bamboo wind chimes hanging on the side. The wind was emitting sounds. A pleasant crisp sound, it is really a good place to enjoy.
She smiled and asked, "What kind of tea do you have here?"
The maid replied: "The best ones in the pavilion these days are Biluochun, Longjing and Yunwu, as well as white plum tea, peony tea and jasmine tea."
Su Wan nodded: "Then let's go to Yunwu."
The maid responded, then lowered her head and quietly made tea. The small red clay stove was burning vigorously, and the hot water was boiling in a short while. She took the tea and poured it into the water. Her fingers were flexible, and the water flowed smoothly. During this period, there was steam from the tea, which seemed to be cloudy. .
A cup of tea was quickly placed in front of Su Wan: "Miss Six, please give me tea."
Most of the Yunwu tea comes from Lushan Mountain. Because Lushan Mountain is known as the "Zilan Mist Lock", this mist-moistened tea is called Yunwu Tea, also known as Lushan Yunwu. The fragrance is like orchid, just like jasper, and the taste is mellow and sweet. Drinking it is a rare enjoyment.
Even if Su Wan is not good at tea ceremony, he can taste some of the tea while drinking it.
