Chapter 52 Sheng Yiming
Because there were so many male and female relatives, Zhang had to take good care of the guests and also strictly separate men and women. On the third day of August, the banquet was divided into two waves. The male guests were entertained at the front house, and Yin Jingyi was also asked to help take care of the guests. The time was set in the morning.
The female members of the family held a banquet in the back house, which was scheduled for the afternoon, in order to give their children a chance to meet and get closer to the three major families.
On the third day of August, Yin Zijin was called up early and dressed up properly. As the seven-day period had passed, Yin Zijin's menstruation had ended and her body was slowly recovering. She felt much better than in the previous few days. The only thing that Yin Zijin couldn't stand now was the extreme numbness, itching and soreness in her chest. Fortunately, I had a chest wrap to suppress some of it.
At this moment, Yin Zijin was sitting in front of the dressing table next to the bed, wearing a light purple sleeveless top embroidered with plum blossom patterns, a white pleated skirt, and a pair of white shoes embroidered with plum blossoms. She had her hair combed into a pigtail bun, with lotus and plum petals made of purple jade pinned in her bun. Her thin bangs just revealed her long and slender eyebrows.
The pair of eyes under the smoky brows were also hazy due to illness. Those affectionate eyes seemed to be able to speak, as if they could express Yin Zijin's inexplicable grievances. His thin body made Yin Zijin look even more pitiful. I really want someone to take good care of me.
Although Yin Zijin is young, you can tell from her gradually growing face that she is a beauty.
Nanny Zhou put some makeup on Yin Zijin and put a gilded silver bracelet with plum blossom pattern on each hand. Yin Zijin was given hollow silver armor on her ring finger and little finger. The bright light pink on her nails also complements Yin Zijin's outfit at this moment.
Then Nanny Zhou asked Yin Zijin to stand up and put on her a necklace, a sachet and a rabbit jade pendant carved out of mutton-fat jade. The rabbit jade pendant was inlaid with two red eyes, which was very cute and exquisite.
After Madam Zhou had cleaned up, she said with satisfaction: "Miss, you are ready. You can apply lip balm after you finish breakfast.
The girl looks really beautiful after being dressed up like this. Among the many girls in the Yin family, the sixth girl has the best complexion. ”
Then Madam Zhou took out a handkerchief soaked in fragrance and stuffed it into Yin Zijin's hand. Madam Zhou said, "Young lady, carry this handkerchief with you at all times. This handkerchief is soaked in the fragrance of lotus. If you hold it for a long time, you will also exude a faint fragrance of lotus."
As they were talking, Yin Zijin had already come to the Arhat couch and sat down. Xiaolan and Ruhe had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the small table. Under Xiaolan's service, Yin Zijin had already started eating.
Seeing Yin Zijin eating happily, Nanny Zhou continued, "Oh! By the way, young lady, I'll let Ruhe and Xiaolan take care of you. The front house should be busy. Madam told me yesterday to let me and Nanny Liu go to the front house to help greet the guests.
Girls must stay in their boudoirs and never go out. It is very chaotic outside. It would be bad if a foreign man broke into the house and tarnished the girl's reputation. ”
After hearing what Madam Zhou said, Yin Zijin said calmly, "Madam Zhou, Zijin knows, you can go without any worries! Even if you leave, Xiaolan and Ruhe are still here."
However, Yin Zijin could no longer suppress her joy in her heart. After Nanny Zhou and Nanny Liu left, it would be easier for her to meet Sheng Yiming and implement her plan.
After Yin Zijin finished her breakfast, Nanny Zhou came out of Bihexuan with the food box. After Xiaolan cleaned up the room, she came over with lip balm and said, "Miss, let me help you put on the lip balm!"
Yin Zijin nodded and let Xiaolan apply lip balm on it. After applying the makeup, Yin Zijin told Ruhe, "Ruhe, go to Hongmei Courtyard and see why Miss Seven hasn't come yet. Didn't we agree to have her come over after breakfast to play with me?"
Ruhe bowed and said, "Yes, young lady. I will go and take a look right away."
Not long after, Ruhe invited Yin Ziniu over. Before she even entered the door, she heard Yin Ziniu's voice: "Zijin, I'm late. I've kept you waiting for a long time."
As they were talking, Yin Ziniu had already walked in and sat down next to Yin Zijin with a smile: "Zijin, what game do you want to play this time?"
Yin Ziniu's red dress was as fiery as fire, which was different from Yin Zijin's elegance and gentleness like water. Yin Ziniao has an outgoing, passionate and unrestrained personality. At this moment, Yin Ziniu was asking Yin Zijin with a smile on her face.
Yin Zijin glanced at Ruhe, and Ruhe immediately understood and quickly took out a deck of playing cards from the red lacquer cabinet with green bamboo carvings next to the Luohan couch.
This playing card was made by Yin Zijin using rice paper to kill time. Taking the poker cards, Yin Zijin said to Yin Ziniu: "Niuniu, it's still the same old rules. The same rules as before, plus Ruhe, the three of us will play Landlord together. The loser will be punished."
Yin Zi Niao asked excitedly: "Punishment, what punishment?"
Yin Zijin thought for a moment and said, "The winner will be determined after ten rounds. The winner can decide what game to play next. The loser must follow all instructions from the winner and must not disobey."
Yin Ziniu said firmly: "Okay, I promise you."
Yin Zijin was afraid that Yin Ziniu would regret it, so he added: "If Niaoniao regrets it later, I will burn the playing cards, and we will not be able to play anymore."
Yin Ziniu quickly snatched the poker cards from Yin Zijin's hand and said pitifully: "I understand, Zijin. I won't regret it. If I lose, it's because I didn't learn it well enough."
…………
Just like that, Yin Ziniu lost under the help of Yin Zijin and Ruhe. Yin Zijin said: "Nianniao, you and Ruhe both lost. You lost five out of ten games, and Ruhe lost three. You two must accept your punishment! Don't cheat. If you do, I won't take you with me next time."
Yin Ziniu looked heartbroken, but for the sake of having more fun in the future, she said with a heartbroken look: "Okay, Zijin, what punishment? You decide!"
Yin Zijin pondered for a moment and said: "It's not a punishment, it's just playing hide-and-seek. Niao Niao and Ruhe will catch people, Xiaomei and Xiaolan will be responsible for hiding. The location cannot leave the Little Red Gate, and the time limit is half an hour.
Niaoniao, if you and Ruhe can catch Xiaomei and Xiaolan within half an hour, I will give you my most precious little rabbit jade pendant. The same goes for Xiaolan and Xiaomei.
This little rabbit jade pendant is made of mutton-fat jade! It was a birthday gift from Zijin's father. It was exquisitely crafted, priceless and very beautiful. Niaoniao, haven’t you wanted it for a long time? If this jade pendant were pawned, it would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for a year or two. ”
Yin Ziniu, Xiaomei and Xiaolan were very interested at the moment. Yin Ziniu reacted and asked: "Zijin, what about you? Aren't you going to join?"
Yin Zijin waved her hands and said, "All the prizes are mine. What's the point of me participating? It's just that today is really boring, so I used the little rabbit jade pendant as a prize. After all, it's just a dead object. I will wait for you at Bihexuan."
Yin Zi Niao nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Xiaolan was about to say something when Yin Zijin said calmly: "Don't worry, Xiaolan, I won't run around. I'll just sit here and wait for you. Even if I run around, I need to have strength! I haven't recovered from my serious illness yet. I'm very weak and can't walk far..."
After hearing what Yin Zijin said, Xiaolan felt relieved and started to have fun. Looking at everyone leaving, Yin Zijin winked at Ruhe again.
Ruhe secretly made an OK gesture to Yin Zijin, which was also taught to her by Yin Zijin. Yin Zijin and Ruhe are on a date, and Yin Zijin asks Ruhe to tip her off. If they come back early from playing hide-and-seek, Ruhe has to speak loudly to remind Yin Zijin.
Watching everyone leaving, Yin Zijin looked at the sky outside, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's almost time, he should be here soon..."
In the past few days, Yin Zijin has been constantly thinking about his plan in his mind. When will Yin Ziniu come? Yin Zijin had planned in advance how to send out the people who were guarding him. If there was a mistake in any link, all the efforts would fail...
Not long after, Sheng Yiming used his Qinggong skills to climb over the wall behind Yin Zijin's boudoir without anyone noticing.
