6. Butterfly meter
A typical fox and fake tiger, Tang Xiaoshi's stepmother's sister has been warped to the sky since she took the throne, for fear that others will not know that she is the woman of King Qin.
Tang Xiaoshi originally adhered to the fundamental principle that the well water does not violate the river water and has nothing to do, but who knows, this product actually let the dog come to me to spread wild, then I will take care of it.
Before teaching this girl who didn't know the height of the sky, Tang Xiaoshi decided to let her talk about the business first, and said, "What did your master send you over?" โ
The maid threw over an invitation and said proudly: "My princess gave birth to a son for King Qin, and it will be a hundred days after two days, and she decided to invite me to a banquet for the nobles of the dynasty three days later." King Jing's biological mother was from a humble background, and she was not invited, but the princess was kind, and her poor sister didn't move her stomach after being married for a year, so she specially invited King Jing and her sister to come over and be happy. โ
It turned out to be a Hongmen banquet to show off its might.
is a dog-mouthed minion, and in just one word, it can be said that he has offended King Jing's Mansion all over again. King Jing's life experience, Tang Xiaoshi is aware of it, his mother was originally a little cook in the palace, more than 20 years ago, one night had to order to send snacks to Concubine De's palace, who knew that the emperor was drunk and drunk, let the enchanting and beautiful Concubine De don't want, forced the little cook who sent snacks to bed, and gave birth to King Jing by mistake.
The prince born from such a mistake was destined to be unpopular with the royal family. When he was weak, the emperor remembered that he still had such a son, almost out of compensation, he gave this son the king, but the fief was in the distant Lingnan, where the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and he couldn't pay a few taxes every year.
Now even a girl dares to talk about this, which shows how humble King Jing's status in the royal family is.
Tang Xiaoshi asked Tang An to take the students back to the dormitory, and she didn't want the students to see the next scene.
"Sue your master, as a sister, I will definitely go." After a pause, he continued, "Let's do it. โ
With an order, I saw Tang Chun'er and Tang Xia'er stand up with lightning speed, and before the maid could react, her left and right knees were kicked hard, and her body threw herself forward and fell to the ground, and Chun'er Xia'er pressed her to the ground.
Tang Dong'er came over and took a bite of the servant, slapped her twice, and then said, "My husband is also a slut like you who can be offended?" This time it will make you suffer a little, but next time it will not be so simple. โ
After that, he took out a small bottle, ripped open the neckline of the servant, poured some black powder into it, and said, "Auntie, I see that your crispy/breasts are good, and I have added some fierce ingredients to you to ensure that they are crispier and more swollen." โ
Then, the two women lifted the servant up, and threw it out of the academy despite the resistance of the servant, and a thin peasant woman did not forget to beat a bucket of cold water and poured it on her, and the peasant woman said: "Such an unfortunate thing is naturally going to be spilled." โ
Dong'er's small bottle, Tang Xiaoshi knows, it is made of the most vicious caterpillar in the mountain dried and grinded, the little girl suffered a lot of sins for such a small bottle of powder, and in the summer in order to grind the insect powder, she wrapped herself in the airtight.
Tang Xiaoshi knew that Tang Dong'er was very interested in insects, and it was the kind of obsession that bordered on madness, and Tang Xiaoshi was also consciously cultivating her into an excellent insect expert.
That servant was poisoned by Tang Dong'er, but she wouldn't die, but it itched for ten days and half a month, and her skin festered, which was inevitable.
There is also the bucket of water poured by the peasant woman, which was drenched through in winter, and it is estimated that there will be a minor illness, and in this dynasty, a minor illness turns into a major illness, and it is also a common thing that a major illness cannot afford to get sick. Tang Xiaoshi will not pity her, since she has the courage to run to the wilderness, she must have the courage to bear the consequences.

In the evening of that year, Tang Xiaoshi convened a meeting between Han Shi Niang and Chun Xia, Qiu and Dong, and the topic was: how to go to the banquet beautifully and the promotion of perfumes.
As soon as Han Shiniang opened her mouth, she resolutely opposed Tang Xiaoshi's banquet, she said: "The old man has been in the palace for many years, and he has seen a lot of pomp and circumstance, this kind of royal banquet is too deep, and the people who will feast are compared to power, status, and wealth. โ
Tang Xiaoshi understood Han Shi Niang's hard work. King Jing has no status, Tang Xiaoshi will only be cold-eyed and excluded when he goes to the banquet, those people in the royal family all have eyes on the top of their heads, Han Siniang doesn't want Tang Xiaoshi to suffer this shame.
But Tang Xiaoshi must go to this banquet, and others advertise her for free, how can she refuse?
Han Shi Niang saw that Tang Xiaoshi still had a resolute look, and continued: "Sir, if you want to go to the banquet, you must dress up, and now the academy does not have a lot of money, and there is not even a decent headdress......
Tang Xiaoshi covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Who said that I don't have jewelry, I'm afraid that my jewelry is incomparable." Shi Niang, I didn't go to the banquet this time, I went to the banquet to advertise our perfume, since that group of nobles thinks very highly of themselves, then we don't have to be soft, we must make enough money for them. โ
Then, Tang Xiaoshi said to Tang Dong'er: "Dong'er, go and bring my jewelry." โ
"Yes, sir." After Tang Dong'er got the order, she got up excitedly and went back to the back room, and it was finally time for her to play a big role!
The rest of the people were puzzled, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.
I saw Tang Dong'er carrying a small bamboo cage out, covered with silk cloth, I couldn't see what it was, and when Tang Dong'er put the cage on the stage and pulled off the cloth, Han Siniang and Chun Xiaqiu made a sound of admiration at the same time.
What a beautiful butterfly!
I saw that several butterflies in the bamboo cage were gently flapping their wings, light blue wings, goose yellow wings, snow-white wings, inlaid with gold edges, red edges, purple edges, in short, colorful, their posture is very beautiful, even if they are docked on the edge, they are all amazing.
Butterflies in winter, what a beautiful picture it should be!
"How did Mr. catch so many beautiful butterflies on a snowy winter day?" Han Siniang asked.
Tang Xiaoshi motioned for Dong'er to answer.
Tang Dong'er was very proud at the moment, raised his head and said endlessly: "In the summer, Mr. let me collect a lot of butterfly chrysalis and put them in the ice cellar, Mr. said that this is to hibernate them, a few days ago, Mr. asked me to take out the butterfly chrysalis and put them in a warm room to take care of carefully, saying that there will be treasures to wake up, but within a few days, the insect eggs drilled out a beautiful butterfly, Mr. said, these butterflies are metamorphosed from caterpillars!" โ
Look at these butterflies, and think about what Mr. just said, butterflies, perfumes, feasts, nobles...... When these words are organically united......
Han Siniang was the first to react, she finally understood what the purpose of Mr. was going to the banquet, she couldn't help but applaud, and said with a smile: "Miao Miaomiao, this step of Mr. is really wonderful, this banquet of King Qin's Mansion is to make a wedding dress for Mr., and when they find out that Mr. is the final winner, I'm afraid my intestines will regret it." โ
Chun Xia, Qiu Dong didn't react, and looked at Han Shi Niang with a puzzled face, Tang Xia'er did things resolutely, but she couldn't hold back her temperament, and hurriedly said: "Shi Niang, you don't want to sell Guan Zi anymore, what's the trick?" What exactly is the plan, sir? It's really going to be a rush! โ
Han Shi Niang said in an orderly manner: "The perfume of the academy will be completed in two days, you can imagine, at the banquet, Mr. is so beautiful, a wisp of fragrance is fragrant, and there are colorful butterflies to dance, who else can leave Mr.?" The royal banquet must be the gathering of the wealthy nobles of the entire Chang'an City, I am afraid that before the banquet is over, those noble ladies who boast of their charming women will inquire where the perfume comes from, and at that time, we are afraid that our perfume will not be enough to sell. The foresight of the gentleman is indeed not comparable to us. โ
Tang Xiaoshi nodded slightly in approval.
After listening to Han Shi Niang's words in spring, summer, autumn and winter, I also suddenly realized, and sighed that my stupid brain didn't think of such an ingenious method, a butterfly plan, which not only earned enough face, but also promoted perfume, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Han Siniang said again: "It's just that there are still two things in the old body. โ
Tang Xiaoshi said: "Shi Niang, please speak." โ
"Mr. is going to a banquet, the clothes on his body can't be too cold, although Mr.'s clothes on weekdays are not bad, but they can't be on the table, and now there are only two Shu brocades sent by Jingwangfu in the academy, the quality is excellent, but the color is too plain, how can this be good?" Han Siniang asked.
"No matter what color of fabric, as long as it is designed properly, the cut clothes will never be bad." Tang Xiaoshi replied as she took out two design sketches.
These two design sketches were painted by Tang Xiaoshi in her spare time, and she has always deliberately improved the clothing of the Chu Dynasty, which is too loose to reflect the beauty of the human body. Referring to the styles and patterns of modern Hanfu, she designed a set of clothes by herself.
Tang Xiaoshi knows that she is not professional, but Hanfu has gathered the aesthetics and wisdom of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and she has confidence in Hanfu.
Han Siniang took over the design drawings, and saw that the person on the paper had a slender waist, wide sleeves as thin as butterfly wings, and a pleated Liuxian skirt extending from the waist to the ground, just lining the woman's softness, and wearing a light gauze outside, which just created a looming beauty.
Looking at another drawing, it turned out to be matching men's clothing, which was very simple, but revealed a masculine domineering.
The two plain Shu brocades are very suitable.
Han Shi Niang held these two drawings, her hands trembled a little, could it be that Mr. is really a fairy descending to earth? Such beautiful costumes can be designed, and this thing should only be in the sky! If these two drawings appear in the palace, I'm afraid it will cause a bloody storm in the harem, and those people in the harem, in order to win the rain and dew, are not racking their hearts in dress.
Han Siniang was very satisfied with this set of clothes, and even expected that after Mr. went to the banquet this time, he would definitely become famous, and she was probably the first beauty in Chang'an.
Tang Xiaoshi finally handed over the drawings to Tang Chun'er, this girl is simple-minded, good at discovering beauty, ingenious, usually likes to sew and mend, and is definitely a top tailor's seedling.
Tang Xiaoshi intends to accompany her to become a top designer.
Tang Chun'er took the drawings, she was very happy that her husband could trust her, she had wanted to make a lot of beautiful clothes since she was a child, and now it seems that it is possible, how can she not be excited.
Han Shi Niang then said the second question, she said: "As far as I know, King Jing has always been very low-key, except for going to the border to lead troops to fight, he rarely goes out in peacetime, let alone participates in the banquet of the nobles, is Mr. sure that he can invite him and let him accompany you to the banquet?" โ
Tang Xiaoshi was very surprised that her titular husband was still a general who led troops to fight. But when I think about it, I feel that it should be so, there are many royal families, and they either rely on a strong background and support behind them, or they can only establish military merits in order to survive. King Jing chose to lead his troops to fight, which shows that he is a smart man, and he can be regarded as a good man in this sense.
Tang Xiaoshi pondered for a moment and said, "Since he is a general who leads troops to fight, then this matter is much easier, I will meet him tomorrow." โ
It's been a year, Tang Xiaoshi has been in the Chu Dynasty for a year, and she is finally going to see her nominal husband, Tang Xiaoshi suddenly felt a little nervous. This is simply inexplicable, when she pounced on โกโก and faced death, she was never nervous, but now she is just going to see a man, and she is nervous.
Maybe it's because of the imaginary husband and wife status, Tang Xiaoshi thought to herself.
