Chapter 136: Gift-giving
Time flies, the plum blossoms bloom and thank, the spring breeze blows, and the peach blossoms compete with each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before the Shangyuan Festival was over, Zhen Mingjie set off alone and returned to the capital to continue to study hard in Guozijian, while Yu Jinzhen stayed in order to celebrate Zhen Wanyi's ceremony on March 26.
As soon as it entered March, Zhen's house was busy, and the invitations were sent out one by one, and the new clothes and new jewelry were sent to Yunyi Lou like a stream, Zhen Wanyi once again looked at the tray in Lianxiang's hand, a golden hairpin led the way, and the red gems were inlaid in the shape of plum blossoms, pure and heavy. "Miss, are you satisfied with this hairpin again?"
Zhen Wanyi picked it up and felt the weight in her hand, and sighed, since the beginning of March, the people of this treasure pavilion have come into the house every now and then to send jewelry, this hairpin is more precious and more expensive every time, more and more luxurious every time, like today's one, it is inlaid with a ruby the size of a fingernail, and I am afraid that there are not even a few pieces of jewelry for the old lady.
"Lianxiang, let my mother retreat, I don't dare to walk with such a precious hairpin on my way."
"What road don't you dare to take?" Zhen Wenyi is going where it is lively now, and before anyone came in, the voice appeared first. Immediately, the hairpin in Zhen Wanyi's hand left her hand, only to hear Zhen Wenyi's voice, "This grandmother is really eccentric, my last year's gift was just an ordinary golden chrysanthemum hairpin, and your gift is a ruby hairpin, and it is so big, my mother and sister-in-law haven't spoken yet?" ”
Zhen Wanyi carefully took it back, "What, this is what my mother set in the Treasure Pavilion, I have changed it several times, and my mother still regrets that it should have been set in the Baorui Pavilion in the capital, and I always say that the jewelry in Qinghe City is not novel enough." ”
Zhen Wenyi sighed, "The fourth aunt is really generous, such a hairpin is not eye-catching, but your ceremony is only six days away, and the guests have all been decided, and the hairpin has not been set yet?" ”
Zhen Wanyi took a closer look at the golden hairpin in her hand, she was only fifteen years old, and she didn't need to use such a calm golden red color at all, she couldn't hold up such a hairpin, and she felt a little nondescript.
"The texture of this ruby is not bad, let's keep it for now, and wait for my mother to see it before deciding."
Zhen Wenyi turned her head to look at the slightly messy room, a set of pink skirts, embroidered with a hundred flower patterns on the skirts, a set of purple placket and deep clothes spread flat on the Taishi chair, a set of gold and red matching wide-sleeved caftan and eight skirts, a set of moon-white skirts layered on top of each other, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more heavy her eyes became, is this because of the fourth aunt's love for her daughter or because of the special existence of Prince Rong?
Earlier, she thought that she would be the best and most decent one among the sisters in the Zhen Mansion, but she didn't think that now, the sister who was the least favored by her subverted her opinion, is this fate? Zhen Wenyi, who was shocked by such a grand preparation of the ceremony, was in a very complicated mood, thinking about her own ceremony, and then looking at the room full of gold and silver, it was really different, and she couldn't help but be jealous of the grievances in her heart, she was the daughter of Zhen's mansion, why was there such a big difference? The destination she worked so hard to plan now depends on Zhen Wanyi to be realized, she Zhen Wanyi can go straight to the sky just by sitting at home and doing nothing, it's really a joke to think about.
"Eighth sister, what are you thinking? I've called you a few words. Zhen Wanyi pushed Zhen Wenyi.
Zhen Wenyi came back to her senses, her eyes were slightly red, and Zhen Wanyi was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "Eighth sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhen Wenyi shook her head and walked out, "It's nothing, seeing that you are so messy here, I won't bother you." Without waiting for Zhen Wanyi to stay, she quickly went out of the door.
Zhen Wanyi tilted her head, "What's wrong with Eighth Sister today?" ”
Mama Mu's eyes turned around the room, and then looked at Zhen Wenyi's slightly flustered back, "Miss Eight may be hurt by the scene, and she sighs a little in her heart." ”
Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened at first, and then she also looked at the clothes placed indoors, thoughtfully, she witnessed Zhen Wenyi's ceremony all the way last year, compared with the two, her own ceremony was indeed a little too grand and too extravagant. But these are all prepared by her mother, this is her love for her daughter, how can she refuse.
"Miss, you don't have to think about it, how can everything be equal in this world, besides, Miss Eight was still under the name of the second room when she performed the ceremony, which is different from Miss, not to mention that Miss's current identity is not something that Miss Eight can compare, Miss Eight is thinking too much this time."
Zhen Wanyi's face darkened, and she compared her heart to her heart, if she was only afraid, she would be uncomfortable, "Mama, don't say anything like this in the future, they are all sisters and have no identity." ”
Mama Mu opened her mouth, but she could see Zhen Wanyi's slightly drooping eyelids, and said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Four days later, a carriage stopped in front of the Zhen Mansion, Hu Dahai jumped off the horse, followed the porter into the Zhen Mansion, brought a gift from Qi Rong, and exclaimed: "Fortunately, I caught up." ”
After speaking, he took out a mahogany box from his body and handed it to the fourth wife, "Madam, this is a gift from the prince of my family to Miss Nine after giving up his humble position." ”
The fourth wife took it, opened the box and her eyes were bright, a crystal clear white jade jade peach blossom hairpin, Wan'er was born in March, it was the time when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the peach blossom hairpin sent was finely carved, and a bunch of peach blossoms were carved from the whole piece of jadeite, which was a rare good thing.
"Master Hu has worked hard, thank you on my behalf."
Hu Dahai bowed and said: "Fourth wife, I don't know where Miss Nine is, but I can't meet with the lowly position, the lowly position still has a letter to hand over to Miss Nine, and I also have something to bring to Mama Mu." ”
The fourth lady smiled: "Of course you can, I'll let someone take you to see the nine girls." Huixiang, you personally send Lord Hu to Yunyi Building, and then go to the front yard to send someone to inform the fourth master, so that the fourth master can quickly return to the house to accompany Lord Hu. After speaking, he gave the box in his hand to Huixiang, "Give this box to Miss Nine and let Miss Nine keep it." ”
Huixiang led Hu Dahai to Yunyi Building, not to mention it.
Zhen Wanyi was not too surprised to see Hu Dahai, as if she subconsciously knew that someone would come to the capital, after all, the capital did not give gifts during the New Year, and the people in Qinghe City who were watching were a lot calmer after the New Year.
Took the box handed by Huixiang, opened his eyes and flashed with appreciation, such a pure ice jade is really rare, or the whole carving, I am afraid that this carving skill will also have to close the moon or Ruibao Pavilion The master has to shoot, the straight part of the hairpin is carved with threads, which is specially designed to prevent the hairpin from slipping down, after all, the general jade hairpin is in the gold hairpin and silver hairpin head plus jade flower case, unlike this hairpin is used throughout the jadeite. "Go back and thank the prince for me, just say that I like this hairpin very much, and I will use it in the ceremony."
Hu Dahai cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's good that Miss Nine likes it, and it's not in vain that the prince searched for it and waited for two months to get this hairpin, if it wasn't for waiting for it, the humble post would not have been delayed until today." ”
Zhen Wanyi closed the box and said with a smile: "Master Hu has worked hard all the way, I will let my father accompany you to have a good drink and wash the dust for you." ”
Hu Dahai scratched his head, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it over, "This is what the prince asked the lowly to hand over to the young lady." ”
Zhen Wanyi thought it was a letter written by Qi Rong, so she took it casually and put it on the desk. (To be continued.) )
