Chapter 174: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake

Princess Zhaoyang smiled and nodded, this Xu Wan was really delicate, and she handed over the matter to her, and it was really right. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" asked: "Are those embroidery girls coming?" ”

"They are all here, waiting at the second gate without the permission of the princess."

"Spring Ying, you go and take them to the peony garden and give them to Bai Shao." The spring warbler retreated.

Princess Zhaoyang left the bookcase, beckoned Xu Wanzhen to sit next to the window and said, "You take a rest first, hollyhock just made a new snack yesterday, and I want to use it at the peony flower party, Wanzhen, you can help me taste it by the way." ”

How can Xu Wanzhen be qualified to sit at the same table with Princess Zhaoyang? But helping the princess try dishes is another matter.

Yue Gui stepped forward and placed a silver spoon and a jade bowl for the two of them.

After a while, the hollyhock served a dish of steamed cheese with sugar. It was served in a glass cup, snow-white as jade, and a few pink peony petals were sprinkled on it, which was particularly attractive, and the rest did not see any peculiarities.

Hollyhock divided the cheese into the jade bowl in front of the two, and when the princess picked up the silver spoon, Xu Wanzhen tasted it carefully. As soon as you enter the mouth, you only feel delicate and smooth, taste it carefully, sweet but not greasy, and have a slight fragrance in the aftertaste. It tastes completely different from the sugar steamed cheese that I have tasted before.

Xu Wanzhen did not hide the surprise on her face, and praised: "It's really a rare delicacy!" How is this done? I'll learn from it too, and I'll do it once to boast. ”

Princess Zhaoyang smiled slightly: "Hollyhock, you can talk about it, and then copy a copy of the recipe and give it to Wanzhen to take away." ”

Hollyhock's temperament was slightly dull, and he said little, and when he heard the words, he responded: "Yes." In the early morning, the fresh morning dew on the peony flowers is picked, and then the peony petals are mashed together, and the filter residue is steamed with water to make peony flower dew. First steam the cow's milk and goat's milk until boiling, take half of each, add a few drops of peony dew, and that's it. ”

Princess Zhaoyang smiled: "I see, it's simple. ”

Xu Wanzhen was secretly speechless, it took a lot of effort just to pick the morning dew, it turned out that in the princess's mansion, this snack was quite simple? I don't know what kind of charter those complicated dishes are?

Hollyhock stepped back after speaking, and Laurel waited for the two of them to use the cheese. Princess Zhaoyang rinsed her mouth and asked directly: "Wanzhen still has two years to go, has she ever discussed family affairs?" ”

Listening to her direct question, Xu Wan was really vigilant, and according to the reaction of the girl at the moment, she lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to deceive the princess, the folk girl had a marriage contract in Suzhou, but because of the death of A-Niang, the other party couldn't wait and quit the marriage." "At present, the marriage contract is the order of the parents, and it is rare to ask directly about the young lady who has not left the cabinet, and only the extremely close blood relatives will ask.

Princess Zhaoyang asked like this, which is already considered a rite, but as her princess, what if she is a princess?

Regarding Xu Wanzhen's family affairs, Princess Zhaoyang has already investigated clearly. The inquiry at this time is just to make her mentally prepared. Getting the answer, she nodded and said, "Let's go to the peony garden and see how those silk flowers are tied?" ”

The peony garden was in full swing at this time, and Yu Xuemin's family was taking two embroidery girls to carefully tie all kinds of silk flowers to the branches. The maid of the princess's mansion was amazed when she saw this lifelike silk flower.

Xu Wanzhen took a "Er Qiao" and stepped forward, tied it to the flower branch with her own hands, and took a look back, the flowers and green leaves complemented each other seamlessly.

Princess Zhaoyang saw it interestingly, and also tied two with her own hands, and said: "Wanzhen, your idea is really good, the silk flowers you make are beautiful and realistic." ”

Xu Wanzhen was slightly blessed and said, "It was because of the blessing of the princess that I got these silk flowers." The maiden had a reluctant request and begged the princess to grant. ”

"Oh?" Princess Zhaoyang's heroic eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "You can talk about it." ”

"After the 'Peony Flower Meeting', the folk girl wants to sell silk flowers in the 'Splendid Record', I don't know if it's possible?" Now that he has made up his mind, he wants to stay away from Princess Zhaoyang in the future, so he can only ask the princess to agree now. Thinking that in the future, even if Princess Zhaoyang annoys her, she will not be able to get along with this small silk flower business.

Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily: "Why not?" The idea is yours, and the silk flowers are yours. Could it be that my princess's mansion has been used once, and the people can't use it? ”

"The folk girl thanked the princess for her grace."

After a busy time, the peony garden, which was originally sparsely flowered, suddenly became purple and red, and the flowers were in full bloom. The breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of peonies and bees and butterflies. In order to be realistic, all the silk flowers have been specially smoked with the best peony fragrance, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

There were a few dark clouds floating in the sky, and there was a little coolness in the wind.

Looking at the sky, Xu Wanzhen said: "Princess, although this silk flower is realistic, it can't be wet. Look at this weather, I am afraid that there is rain, and I need to build a shed to waterproof. ”

Princess Zhaoyang nodded, and let Bai Shao go down and order. After a while, the gardener brought a rainproof tarpaulin and worked with the carpenter to build a rainproof shelter in the peony garden.

After this incident, Xu Wanzhen said goodbye from the princess's mansion and returned to Qingzhu Garden. Ordered someone to send a letter to the shopkeeper Yu, and the princess had promised "Splendid Notes" to run the silk flower business, and all kinds of things should be prepared.

Xu Wanzhen went back to the room, Qingluo lay on Caisi's ear and whispered a few words.

Cai Si entered the room to remove the hairpin ring for Xu Wanzhen, and said: "Qingluo heard in the house today that Miss Tu and Miss Second have both received invitations to the 'Peony Flower Club', and Mrs. Lin also invited 'Yunshang' to make clothes for them. ”

Xu Wanzhen was surprised: "There are still two days before the flower party, can you be in time?" ”

"Miss doesn't know, 'Yunshang' has ready-made dress styles, and you can change it as long as you measure it in one day." The Caisi family has lived in the capital for a long time and knows a lot about the shops in Beijing.

"I see. But in this way, don't you worry about the repetition of styles? "Wouldn't it be embarrassing to have two noble ladies wearing the same clothes at such a grand event?

Tses explains: "'Cloud Dress' is well thought out, and each style will be matched with several different colors and textures, and each one is only one set. In this way, even if it is the same style, it will be two completely different dresses. ”

Xu Wan really thought that this "cloud dress" was Princess Zhaoyang's property, and it seemed that there were many people in this princess's mansion. This method has won the three flavors of haute couture. It can not only meet the time needs of guests, but also ensure that there is only one set of clothes made.

In modern times, all of her clothes for major occasions are tailor-made in her store on the Champs-ElysΓ©es in Paris. Such a gorgeous costume is not afraid of mediocre styles, and the most feared thing is to hit the shirt at the party.

Sang Zi came in with hot water and cleaned her face for Xu Wanzhen. Wen Yan smiled and said: "This 'Yunshang' is the same as the one we went to in Yangzhou?" The eldest lady is also going to this 'peony flower club', why don't you also customize a dress there? ”

Xu Wanzhen shook her head and said: "The noble ladies at this 'Peony Flower Meeting' compete for beauty, and I am relieved to be a foil." Besides, I'm still in filial piety. ”
