Chapter 105: Gift-giving
It is common for the eunuchs who have newly entered the palace to mingle with the people in the palace and visit the powerful people in the palace one by one. can be flattered to Jiang Xian...... Jiang Xian is a human being, and it is the first time he has encountered it.
She couldn't help but glance at Liu Qingming in confusion.
Liu Qingming didn't seem to notice it, smiled diligently, gave the things to Jiang Xian and left.
Don't talk about Jiang Xian, even Liu Dongyue is confused. He took the initiative to say: "County Lord, do you want me to inquire about the origin of this Liu Qingming?"
"Forget it!" Jiang Xian felt that he was already troublesome enough, what was the matter with mixing up with a group of big eunuchs?
What's more, this Liu Qingming came to see him in a low voice, maybe to show her that he would not tell her about going to the needlework bureau......
"You just look at the dots. Jiang Xian instructed Liu Dongyue, "Don't something happen to pull us in." ”
Liu Dongyue smiled respectfully and promised, and carefully talked to Jiang Xian about the house with a hot spring that she bought a few days ago: "It's raining in the past two days, the weather is not damp, and the wall can't be powdered for the time being, but I've packed up the things, so I'll wait for you to go over and take a look......"
The original owner left some bulky furniture, many of which were carved from nanmu or pear blossom wood, and it was a very good deal to buy this house.
Maybe it's because he always lives in a house that has been around for some years, and Jiang Xian just doesn't like these things that are old the most.
She asked Liu Dongyue to sort out all the things in the house, and asked the construction department to rebuild a batch of furniture for her, and even the eaves of the verandah were repainted according to the Soviet style, and the house was almost renovated except for a few pillars and a few walls.
It's a big project.
Liu Dongyue was so busy, seeing that the New Year was coming, the craftsman had a holiday, and he returned to the palace.
"There's no need to rush. Jiang Xian said to him, "Just repair it before the beginning of winter next year." ”
Liu Dongyue helped Jiang Xian open the curtain, and followed Jiang Xian into the main hall of the East Third Institute with a smile, and said, "The county lord is a generous person. But how can we lose our duty? You can rest assured, the house will be tidied up for you before the beginning of summer. I see that there are lush green trees next to it, maybe the county lord can go there to escape the heat! Didn't Tian Yizheng say that there are many winter diseases that have to be cured in summer. The Empress Dowager and her old people said that their knees were sore and swollen in winter, and maybe they would go to the hot springs in summer and suffer less in winter!"
The words couldn't help but make Jiang Xian look at him with admiration.
It's a pity that she is the county lord, otherwise she can take Liu Dongyue with her to serve when she leaves the palace.
However, everything is man-made. She thought of a way, maybe she could really take Liu Dongyue out of the palace.
Jiang Xian thought about it, and Liu Dongyue helped a few little palace maids to disperse the burden sent by Liu Qingming.
Silver-red gold all over the place, goose yellow Hangzhou silk, turquoise lake satin, purple Zhangrong, bleached silk ...... It was purple and red, and her eyes stinged.
"Oh, this color is so good!" Liu Dongyue pulled out a lotus-colored cloth and said, "I only know that the ten brocades are vases, flower pots, and pen and ink." I haven't seen ten kinds of brocade woven with ten colors of calamus, but it's really chic! This is a new style in Jiangnan, right? Maybe it's still like Su? County lord, this kind of color material is the best to make a gown in the spring......
Jiang Xian's heart moved.
Li Qian once said that he would give her a new style of clothes that was popular in Jiangnan...... That Liu Qingming won't be ......
Her heart was pounding inexplicably, as fast as a drum.
But Liu Dongyue didn't know how to concede and said there: "This one is woven with cherry fruit and a few green leaves...... Look at this color, it is by no means a tribute to Jiangnan weaving. They didn't dare to send the material woven with such a pattern into the palace...... It's soft, silky like water, and it's a little better than the quality of those tributes...... This Liu Qingming didn't brag. He also had a heart to think of bringing this cloth in for the county lord......"
Oh, yes!
Maybe I'm thinking too much!
Maybe this is what Liu Qingming wants to flatter her because he wants her protection......
Jiang Xian's heart slowly calmed down again. packed up her things, and told Liu Dongyue a few more words, she went to the West Third Institute where Bai Su lived.
Although he didn't leave the palace until after the Lantern Festival, Bai Su had already begun to pack up his things.
The furnishings and utensils for the four seasons of the year are all in the palace. What you can't take away, what you can take away is a few pieces of clothing and jewelry.
I don't know why, Jiang Xian felt a little desolate when he looked at it.
She pulled Bai Su to the dormitory, gave her a purse, and said, "You can dispose of it yourself, right?"
Bai Su opened the purse in confusion. Inside are a couple of silver tickets.
"This ......" she took it out and looked at it roughly, estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand taels, "What are you giving me this......" She put the silver ticket back into her purse and stuffed it into Jiang Xian.
"You take it!" Jiang Xian squeezed Bai Su's hand and said in a low voice, "There are still many people and things that the Cao family will have to deal with in the future, I thought about it, it is better to give you nothing than this-the ancient paintings and playthings are all orderly and can be found, only this one, if it dissolves, it will be a new object......"
Bai Su thought about it and felt that Jiang Xian made sense.
She didn't shirk any more, accepted it generously, and said, "Baoning, I won't tell you more, I will write down your great kindness." ”
Jiang Xian pursed his lips and smiled, but did not make a sound.
She helped two friends at once, she is the one who didn't suffer, okay?
"If you have anything to do, come to me!" Jiang Xian said, "Three stinkers, worthy of one Zhuge Liang." ”
Bai Su nodded.
The two walked out of the dormitory arm in arm.
The Empress Dowager sent someone to tell them to go to Dongnuan Pavilion, saying that Princess Qian'an had come.
In his previous life, Jiang Xian didn't know this princess of Qian'an at all.
Listen to the title and know that you are not favored.
In this life, the Empress Dowager carried her aunt out, and she didn't know what her plans were.
Bai Su and Jiang Xian went to see Princess Qian'an.
Princess Qian'an should only be forty-five or six years old, but she looks like a person of fifty-seven or eight, wearing a real red sleeved jacket and a Zhai crown, with fair skin but a haggard face, and a dull and restrained expression. Seeing Jiang Xian and Bai Su, the corners of their mouths twitched for a moment before they said: "The county lord has grown so big all of a sudden, and it should be time in two years, right? This is the eldest lady of the Beiding Hou Mansion, Qinghui Xiangjun, right?
The words are a little astringent, which shows that he is not very social.
The Empress Dowager was not surprised and asked her to sit down and talk.
"Presumably you already know, the Cao family is not in good health to recuperate in Wanshou Mountain, I am too old to stand the noise, and the reunion banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve this year will be led by you to congratulate the wives of the order." The Empress Dowager leaned on the big kang yellow embroidered four persimmon pattern pillow near the window, looking at the princess Qian'an, who was straight and solemn, and half sat on the embroidery pier, said in a gentle and authentic manner, "Since Yong'an went, I don't have the spirit to care about you, and now there is no one to preside over the affairs of the six palaces, how can you also be the daughter of Emperor Xiaozong, and there are some things to learn." ”
The implication is that it seems that she will be snubbed because of Empress Dowager Cao, as if she doesn't even have a normal princess ceremony.
