Chapter 173: Delivery of Silk Flowers
Tu Manfen glanced at her and said, "Of course you are not the Sun family. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info our Tu family talks about power and wealth, which point can be compared to the Sun family back then? But sister, this personal maid is the most gracious and powerful, and they must be loyal to you. ”
"But they did something wrong, shouldn't they be punished? Cui Sleeve burned me, and this swift brought me cold tea to drink. Tu Manzhen stomped her feet disagreeingly.
Hearing that she didn't have any remorse, Tu Manfen rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and said, "There are many ways to punish." Your usual temper has to be changed. In a few years, you will be out of the cabinet, if you don't have a loyal maid under your hands, how will you deal with yourself when you get to your husband's house? Besides, if I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have to kick the swift yourself, a young lady?
Speaking of the back, Tu Manfen was a little harsh. She has always loved this sister, her mother failed to give birth to a son-in-law, and only the two sisters relied on each other when they got married. When I was young, I also indulged some of her behaviors too much. Now I found out that it was not easy to break her temperament.
Seeing that her sister was angry, Tu Manzhen sneered: "My sister knows, and she won't be in the future." ”
Tu Manfen sighed and said, "You really have to keep it in mind." He also taught her how to subdue the maid, how to punish them appropriately, how to make the other party afraid and how to make them grateful, Tu Manzhen nodded frequently when she heard it.
As the two sisters spoke, the silver screen guarding the door raised their voices: "Why does Sister Hexiang have time to come?"
The two glanced at each other, knowing that Hexiang must have brought the invitation card of the "Peony Flower Club", so they stopped talking. Tu Manfen said loudly: "Hurry up and invite Hexiang in." ”
He Xiang entered the room, gave a salute with a smile, presented the brocade box containing the invitation, and said, "Early this morning, the princess's mansion will be delivered." The old lady left the steward for dinner, and I had to send it over to the two young ladies. ”
Yinping stepped forward to take it and held it in front of the two of them. Tu Manfen took a breath in her heart, carefully opened the box, and saw two delicate invitations lying quietly on top of the velvet.
She stretched out her hands to pick up one of them and carefully looked at it, this invitation was made of fine flower paper, embroidered with a half-opened peony flower in the lower right corner, and the front was written with the words "peony flower meeting" in hairpin flower letters. Under the invitation, a peony hollow tassel silver bell is embellished, and a pleasant bell comes when you touch it.
Tu Manfen took the invitation closer, and was about to open it, when an intoxicating fragrance of flowers hit. When I got closer, it turned out that the invitation was smoked with the fragrance of peony flowers, and I took a deep breath, and the sweet fragrance was refreshing.
Tu Manzhen's excited voice came from his ears: "What a beautiful invitation! ”
It's not just a lot of money, but so much effort can be put into this just one invitation, and several materials are used. There are pleasing peony embroidery and hairpin flowers, smell the fragrance of peony flowers, and listen to the silver bell ringing lightly.
can see, smell, and hear, such a delicate mind, I don't know who is in the princess's mansion. Tu Manfen thought silently.
But I heard Hexiang smile and said, "Congratulations to the eldest lady and the second miss." The old lady said that tomorrow she would invite the shopkeeper of 'Yunshang' to come and measure the clothes for the two young ladies and attend the peony flower party. ”
Tu Manzhen is full of color, "Yunshang" is the top garment workshop in Beijing, using the most fashionable materials and the top embroidery, and the price is expensive. The Lin family kept the money very tight, and even though the two sisters were pampered and grew up, they didn't wear the clothes of "Yunshang" twice.
In Qingzhu Garden, Xu Wanzhen told Mrs. Xu about the preparations for the silk flowers, and said, "I have handed over a post to the princess's mansion, and I can send the silk flowers tomorrow." The granddaughter thought that since she had done it, it would be better to be more perfect, and take the embroidery girl to tie these silk flowers to the branches. ”
Old Madam Xu patted her hand and said, "That being said, don't be too tired. ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, granddaughter can save it. ”
Several times, she tried to relay what Shadow Wind had told her grandmother, but she swallowed it when it came to her mouth. She really couldn't explain the source of this news, how could she easily know about such a secret matter of the palace? Shadow Wind's existence, grandmother didn't know, although she trusted him extremely in her heart, but how could she tell her grandmother about his late-night visit?
I had to press the conversation, and everything would wait for the "Peony Flower Meeting", and it would not be too late to see the situation.
As for Shadow Wind reminding her to stay away from Princess Zhaoyang, she knew in her heart that the contact would gradually break off after the flower meeting. The identity of himself and Princess Zhaoyang was originally the difference between Yunni and Yunni, as long as he didn't come forward, what intersection did the princess have with him?
Xu Wanzhen thought like this, it was not bad, but she never expected that her marriage had become a target that Princess Zhaoyang had to win, so why stay out of it?
The next day, Xu Wanzhen arrived at "Splendid Notes" first.
The silk flower texture is light but takes up a lot of space, in order to prevent the flower shape from being damaged after being pressed, the shopkeeper Yu will be full of silk flowers loaded with three cars.
Xu Wanzhen said: "I will call the scholars' house, and then choose two embroiderers who have come back from the silk flower workshop to go to the princess's mansion with me." "Shopkeeper Yu went to arrange it without mentioning it.
When she arrived at the princess's mansion, she had just gotten off the carriage, and Cai Si helped Xu Wanzhen to stand still. The spring warbler greeted her, and her attitude was a little more enthusiastic than the previous two times. I only heard her say crisply: "Miss Xu, you are here, the princess has been chattering several times." ”
Xu Wan was really suspicious, but it was just to send a silk flower, but Chunying was so enthusiastic that she was uneasy, don't you really call Ying Feng right? ”
This time, Princess Zhaoyang saw her in the study to show her closeness.
Chunying took her in, and Princess Zhaoyang stopped the pen in her hand and beckoned: "Wanzhen came just in time." Come and see, how is my quill?"
Xu Wanzhen took the pen and looked at it carefully, compared to the quill pen she made, the one in her hand is more simple now, and the barrel is thick and can store more ink. I tried it on paper, and the writing was much smoother than ever.
Xu Wanzhen said respectfully: "The princess is clever, Wanzhen is not as good as what if." ”
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at her fixedly, suddenly laughed, as dazzling as the sun, and shook her head: "Wanzhen, you don't have to be so cautious with me. When I saw you, you were like my own sister. The tone is sincere and eager.
Rao is Xu Wan really had a sense of vigilance, and she couldn't help but be intimidated by her demeanor, moved by her sincerity, and hurriedly said: "Wanzhen admires the princess Fanghua and doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”
Princess Zhaoyang didn't say much more, but changed her mind and asked, "You came today, but you came to deliver the silk flowers, but there are still two days before the 'Peony Flower Meeting'." ”
Xu Wanzhen saluted: "Back to the princess's words, Wanzhen is fortunate not to be dishonored, and now she has a total of five hundred silk flowers." The folk girl thought that it was delivered in advance, and asked the embroidery girls to tie the silk flowers to the flower branches first, so as not to hinder the princess's other arrangements for the flower party. ”
