Chapter 24: Eyebrows
Until Zhan Jingyan took Li Fu and the two away, Zhang Lu took off his apron, smiled and handed a few beige paper bags printed with famous brand logos to Zhang Ruoyuan, and said respectfully.
"This is the prince's command. ”
Zhang Ruoyuan took it over suspiciously, five sets of women's clothes of different colors and styles, with avant-garde designs and different styles.
Considering that if you wear a particularly conspicuous dress to go home, it is obvious that you are beating gongs and drums to tell others that there is a cat in it. Zhang Ruoyuan finally chose a blue and white stitched short-sleeved dress, the style is simple and generous, fresh and lovely. On top of that, the last time she rummaged through the cabinets, she remembered one that was similar to this one.
When Zhang Ruoyuan walked down from the upstairs after changing his clothes, Zhang Lu silently looked up at the picturesque woman in the corner, and suddenly sighed that whether it was a person or clothes, the prince's eyes were as vicious and accurate as ever.
Tsk, it's cooking and buying clothes, when did the prince have such patience?
The journey home was quite tangled, and Zhang Ruoyuan was basically sure that in the next few days, she would not return home countless times at night, and she would return to His Royal Highness in a daze. You can still lie in a day or two, but if the paper can't hold the fire after a long time, someone will always find out.
If she is busy with her career and moves out to live like her eldest brother, she doesn't have to avoid people, but the key is that she can't find a suitable reason at the moment. Besides, living alone is also a problem.
Let's not talk about the long term, just for now, she can't get through this level today.
Zhang Ruoyuan did ideological construction in the car for a long time, and finally got out of the car with the fearless mentality of dying early and surpassing life early, and resolutely went inside.
Unexpectedly returned to Dexinju and did not greet her with a question, she entered the bedroom with a hanging heart, and quickly changed into pajamas to spread her hair, creating a look of just waking up.
After a long while, I didn't see Zhanxi coming to call people, Zhang Ruoyuan put on a coat and walked out a little puzzled, and there was no figure in the empty courtyard. was thinking about where the two girls were running, and when I looked up, I saw Zhaoshui panting and running.
In the scorching summer, the slightest cool breeze in the morning doesn't do much. Zhaoshui trotted all the way, and he was already sweating at the moment. Seeing Zhang Ruoyuan, her eyes lit up, as if she saw the backbone of the Lord. didn't care about wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the young lady and said anxiously.
"Miss is not good, something is wrong!"
Regarding Zhaoshui's babbling reaction, Zhang Ruoyuan was already surprised, and he didn't care at this time. While going back to the house and getting a handkerchief to dry her, she said casually.
"Don't be in a hurry, just take a moment and say slowly, what's wrong?"
Zhaoshui saw that the fire burned her eyebrows, and the young lady was still so calm and relaxed that she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. But the more anxious I was, the more unfavorable my mouth became, and my tongue was knotted.
"Something really happened......! Lord......"
Hearing that it was about his father, Zhang Ruoyuan immediately held Zhaoshui's hand and asked urgently.
"What's wrong with my father?"
"Sir...... The lord brought back a woman!"
When Zhang Ruoyuan heard this, a trace of coldness quickly flashed across his bright eyes, so fast that it was almost impossible to distinguish. She lowered her head and looked at the ten white onion-like fingers, and gradually thought of something.
"Don't worry, calm down and tell me the whole story. ”
Probably because Zhang Ruoyuan's casual tone was too determined, which made Zhaoshui feel powerful and gradually calmed down. She thought back to what happened in a short period of time and told it eloquently.
"After I made dinner with Zhanxi this morning, I wanted to wake up Miss to eat. But the lady slept too soundly, and you didn't come out after we shouted several times, so I thought about keeping the food warm first and waiting for you to wake up before eating.
Just as she was packing up her things in the kitchen, Liu's mother came over and said that the old lady had asked the young lady to come over.
Zhan Xi looked at her mysteriously and secretly estimated what was going on, and asked a few more questions tentatively, and Liu's mother revealed a little tone, saying that the master came back with a woman.
I didn't dare to mention anything else, after Liu's mother left, Zhanxi thought about it for fear that you would suffer, so I went to Rong'an Hall to inquire about the news and explore the situation. Tell me to stay in the courtyard and tell you about these 1510 when you wake up.
I waited for a long time and didn't come back, so I couldn't help but go to Rong'an Hall to run, but I didn't see Zhanxi, but I saw a large group of people sitting in the house, and the topic revolved around the face I had never seen before......"
Speaking of this, Zhaoshui obviously paused, stopped to think about something, and then began to vomit a little. Zhang Ruoyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and the complex emotions in his eyes were covered with a layer of calmness. It makes people only feel that she is calm, and she can't see the black storm contained in it.
She took the sweaty handkerchief in the palm of her hand, gently rolled it up and unfolded it, and soon brought out circles of wrinkles.
"Go on. ”
Zhaoshui felt a little dry in his throat halfway through speaking, and he didn't know whether to go on or not, but seeing that the young lady was very persistent, she still licked her lips, and then continued.
"The woman was very eloquent, and she could see that she must have put in some effort before she came.
She gave the old lady an ancient dragon tail inkstone, the old lady a set of chiropractic massagers, the second master a unicorn flame pattern porcelain bowl, and the second lady a pair of bat gold red gilt bracelets.
When I gave it to Miss Ruohan, I happened to be blocked by the second lady, so I didn't look carefully. But just by looking at the second lady's happy expression, you know that it must be a valuable good thing.
I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but I could see that the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious, and the old lady kept brushing her beard and didn't say anything, but the old lady took the woman's hand and nodded repeatedly, looking very satisfied. ”
Can she speak and speak? Jia Yunshuang is not only able to speak and speak! She can also act and be a person.
The Jia family seems to have been born with a survival skill that tends to be inflammatory, and they shoot their asses unknowingly, making people float to the sky, which is very useful.
With the ability to slap horses with one hand, Jia Zhongping flattered all the way, and collected money and donated money from a small foreign official to a young secretary of Wupin Honglu Temple.
As the only daughter of the Jia family, Jia Yunshuang inherited the skills of the Jia family to his favor.
Longwei inkstone is produced in the stream of Longwei Mountain in Wuyuan County, hence the name. Its texture is tough, the texture is dense, caressing it like a muscle, slippery and not rejecting ink, and it makes a clear metal sound when striking, which is really a high-grade ink inkstone.
For his grandfather, who loved calligraphy and was obsessed with calligraphy, there was nothing more appealing to him than giving him a rare inkstone.
Grandmother is indifferent by nature, and ordinary things are fleeting. If you want her old man to look sideways, it won't work at all just by the level of value, so she simply starts with the intention contained in it. When you are old, the elderly will inevitably have sore bones, and they will send a set of massagers, which are not expensive but can highlight the rare care.
The second uncle loves to collect beautifully crafted dishes, and the second aunt has an eye for money, and every gift prepared by Jia Yunshuang is delivered to their hearts accurately, which is difficult and unlikable.
If she was willing to think about it, she thought that she had said the wrong thing, which made Miss sad, and hurriedly remedied.
"Miss, don't worry, that woman can just speak well, she is not good-looking at all, and she is not comparable to Mrs. at all. ”
Jia Yunshuang is of medium quality, at most she can be said to have a delicate face, which has nothing to do with beauty, let alone comparable to her mother. When her mother was not married, she was a well-known beauty in Kyoto.
It's just that if you live well and badly, you can be divided by beauty, then everything that happened later will not happen.
In the past, she also thought that a woman with a unique appearance was a shield to protect herself, but Jia Yunshuang taught her a more profound truth.
Beauty is an advantage, however, there are pros and cons to everything, and sometimes it can become a burden to avoid sin. And the mediocre appearance does not seem to have any lethality, but it can also become a sharp blade that seals the throat in blood.
Others regard ordinary looks as a kind of biggest regret, but few people can turn disadvantages into the biggest opportunities like Jia Yunshuang.
At the beginning, so many famous and noble girls wanted to marry their father as a stepfamily, and there were not a few of them who were in their prime and beautiful appearance. And his father finally chose Jia Yunshuang, partly because of her ordinary face.
With an unrecognizable face, it is easy for people to subconsciously relax their vigilance, thinking that she should be like this, and there is no aggression at all.
And this is exactly what my father needs most.
Nearly ten years after his mother's death, his father never mentioned the matter of continuation, and he never even accepted a concubine. She knew that her father was relieved and agreed to see the daughter of the Jia family, which had a great relationship with her.
At the beginning, the three of them were at the age of talking about marriage, but the elder brother was bent on making achievements and had no intention of starting a family. At this time, my sister was already a prospective princess, and the wedding date was approaching. And she is about to get married, and many colleagues threw olive branches to her father, but no one helped to find them.
At the same time, my grandmother was very old, and after a cold and exhaustion, she was in charge of the family. The second aunt was shrewd and greedy, and the grandmother couldn't rest assured, so she let the second aunt and the third aunt take care of the house.
Although the two are still harmonious on the surface, the second aunt is mean, and secretly she can't help but twist a sour sentence, and the third aunt can't fall into battle forever if she retreats for a while. Gradually, the two separated, and the house was restless.
The three of them need a mother to arrange the marriage, and the Zhang family also needs an eldest daughter-in-law to take charge of the affairs.
At this critical moment, Jia Yunshuang appeared.
Grandfather never asked about the inner house, and for grandmother, she didn't pay much attention to her family background, as long as she was virtuous and generous, and it was enough to run the family.
And my father is not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, and he is forced to find a house to fill in the house, so he naturally doesn't mind the mediocre appearance of the other party. Not only that, Jia Yunshuang's family background is also the most important reason why her father chose her.
If you choose a noble lady to fill the house, relying on the backer as a blessing, you will inevitably treat the children left by the original partner in the future. If you marry a spicy and arrogant person, the word "filial piety" can suppress the three of them to have suffering.
It is based on the above that his father quickly finalized Jia Yunshuang, who was born in a businessman and has a gentle temperament, and now I am afraid that it is also because of these.
Zhang Ruoyuan's heart was like numbness, and the handkerchief was turned over and wrapped between his fingers, wrinkled and out of shape.
"Is the third aunt in the house?"
Zhaoshui recalled carefully, shook his head and replied, "When I watched it, no." ”
"Then Zhanxi must have gone to find the third aunt. ”
Zhang Ruo was willing to talk to himself and muttered softly.
"Miss, what should we do? If the master really finds a woman to come back, will you be bullied!
Cinderella and Snow White's stepmother are vicious, not only abusing them, not only not giving them food, but also poisoning them to kill them, young lady, you must not let the master marry another woman!"
Zhang Ruoyuan frowned, she didn't know what kind of characters Cinderella and Snow White were, but just in terms of food and clothing on the surface, Jia Yunshuang never deducted the three of them from half, let alone not to eat.
On the surface, she has always been a thoughtful and meticulous mother.
"What's the panic?
Zhang Ruo is willing to stop Zhaoshui's cranky thoughts, but in fact, he is just comforting himself in a certain way. She knows very well in her heart that she has her father's temperament and the strict style of the Zhang family. If it is really a meeting in Pingshui, no one will be invited to Zhang's house as a guest. Now that it has reached the point where everyone collectively looks at each other at every turn, then the matter is finalized.
Zhang Ruoyuan slowly spread out the handkerchief in his hand, looked at the crumpled marks on it, and smoothed them one by one.
She can't panic, the more she burns her eyebrows, the more she has to be calm. Helpless, things will only get worse. If even she panics, this is the thing that will stop her.
"Do you know how to coil your hair?"
Zhang Ruoyuan was caught off guard and spoke, staring straight at the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were in a trance.
"Huh?"
Zhaoshui was dumbfounded, unbelievable, things were so imminent, and Miss was still in the mood to dress up.
Without waiting for her to answer, Zhang Ruoyuan spoke again, his voice much clearer than before. I don't know if I'm reminding others or comforting myself.
"Help me put my hair in a nice bun. ”
A fierce battle is about to begin, and if you don't arm yourself completely, how can you be worthy of that man's calculations?
