Chapter 160: The Prince's Birthday
On this day, Yin Zixuan was digging a pear blossom wood board in his carpenter's house, thinking about things while digging in his head.
"Yin Zixuan, if I can't find you, I guessed that it would be here." Xiao Xiao Feng ran in front of him and said with a proud face.
Since the Lantern Festival, she has become normal, as long as the two of them are alone, she begins to open and close her mouth to greet him with her name and surname. Yin Zixuan was not angry, but she was worried that one day she would not pay attention to the shouting habits, and she would greet herself like this in front of others, and it would be inappropriate to spread it.
However, Yin Zixuan knew in her heart that she had no contempt for calling herself like this. The trust in her heart is even deeper, which will make her so. Sometimes he also wanted her to change her name, but in addition to calling the prince and his name, he really couldn't think of anything more suitable for her to call himself.
"What's the matter? Say. As soon as he saw Xiaomi's smiling appearance, he knew that this girl must have something to ask for herself.
But he guessed wrong, and when Millet heard him ask, he shook his head and denied it; "It's okay, it's okay, you just want to see if there's anything I need to do?" After she finished speaking, her eyes really looked at the board, nails, hammer saws and so on next to her.
Looking at the person in front of him who seemed to really want to help, how Yin Zixuan didn't know that this girl was lying, although he didn't want to find out, he didn't agree to follow her wishes. She helps? Come on, I've helped myself many times, but it's all a disservice.
I don't know how many boards have been scrapped by her! Once he almost broke his hand, he didn't feel sorry for the board. I'm afraid she'll get hurt.
"If you're bored, you can ask someone to go shopping with you, or you can take Hongbao out if you want to." Yin Zixuan thought about it for a while, and felt that she wanted to go out for a walk.
The two are already familiar with each other, and they also understand each other's temperament. Therefore, Xiaomi also saw that Yin Zixuan really had something in his heart, and it was a big deal, so big that he was not Cheng DΓΉ who could talk to her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent most of his time in the carpentry room lately. Look at the pile of shavings on the ground. Xiao Xin said. There is no shortage of fire-starting things in the kitchen recently, but he has planed all the best boards, so it's a pity to waste it.
has been by Yin Zixuan's side for so long. Millet is not interested in wood. But I also accidentally learned some knowledge. The best woods are rosewood and mahogany. The second is rosewood, sour jujube nanmu or something.
Rosewood is also known as the best in wood. It is dense and hard, and sinks when it enters water. The plate is bright red or orange-red, and turns purple-red-brown stripes after a long time of exposure to the air, with a slender and floating texture, endless variations, and aromatic.
Therefore, the red sandalwood royal use is the most, the big officials or large families use mahogany, pear blossom wood, etc., and the common people are red pine, elm, fir and the like.
Rosewood is also a precious medicinal material, Yin Zixuan told her that the chair made of rosewood also has the effect of healing. However, Xiaomi still thinks that the wood grain of furniture made of mahogany is clear, smooth and shiny, and it looks better.
Yin Zixuan said that Xiaomi is a layman and doesn't understand.
Rosewood is the most valuable, and Yin Zixuan also likes to use this kind of it the most, so every time Xiaomi sees piles of shavings on the ground, she will feel a pain in her flesh. I know that he doesn't really like carpentry at all, but it's just a pastime to pass the time and think about problems, isn't all the wood used, why do you have to spoil good things?
Although it is used to pass the time, Xiaomi has to admit that Yin Zixuan's craftsmanship is not bad. A few days ago, I pestered him to make a wenge box for myself, thinking that the weather would be warmer, and I would go out for an outing in a few days, so that Uncle Xu could make some delicious food.
After Yin Zixuan agreed, it took two days to do it, and the handles of the suitcase, both sides of the column and the four corners of the base were also wrapped in copper leaves.
"When I first came, I thought it was quite interesting to go shopping, but it was boring to go shopping, forget it, I'd better go and play with the red treasures, so as not to delay your work." Xiaomi came, originally he didn't want to go out shopping, he just wanted to make sure that he was really busy, just on the line.
Looking at the figure that came in like the wind and ran away like the wind, Yin Zixuan shook his head helplessly, he is thirteen, his height is a little taller than when he entered the mansion, but he has not seen any growth, but he has become smaller and smaller.
If it goes on like this, when she is ready to marry, she doesn't know what kind of virtue it will be.
Xiaomi got out of Yalanju and went directly to the cloud housekeeper, and said silently in his heart as he walked, Yin Zixuan, I will let you have a birthday banquet that is different and makes you happy. I can't make a birthday cake, but I won't mess with a bowl of noodles to fool you.
This morning, she went to play with Hongbao and accidentally learned that the eighth day of March was Yin Zixuan's birthday. Xiaomi deliberately asked Hongbao how to spend the prince's birthday in previous years. Whether it was in the palace or in the palace.
Hongbao told Xiaomi, who knew and did not hide it.
After the prince moved out of the palace, his birthday was spent in the palace. The saint and the queen in the palace, as well as his mother Xue Guifei, all sent congratulatory gifts, but of course the deity has never come. There are also banquets in the palace, but they never post to invite guests, and the guests who come every year are the princes and princesses.
Hongbao whispered to Xiaomi, on the day of the prince's birthday, although the prince and princess came a lot, but they chatted very lively, but the prince seemed to be an isolated stranger.
When Xiaomi heard this, he was thinking about the situation at that time, Yin Zixuan was not close to his royal brothers, and most of them came to celebrate their birthdays, mostly to walk around and let the people watch the royal brothers and sisters live in harmony.
If you really come to celebrate your birthday, I'm afraid you won't have it. It is precisely thinking of these that Xiaomi sympathizes with Yin Zixuan. I made up my mind to help him organize a birthday party like no other. What's more, if you remember the day correctly, the date on the wedding card sent by Zhong Shangshufu is next to the date of Yin Zixuan's birthday.
You don't have to think about it to know that the wedding banquet of the third young master of the Zhong family will definitely be much more lively than the birthday banquet of Yin Zixuan, the prince. Even if you don't receive the Zhong family's wedding card, you want to stammer. There will be a missed opportunity.
In terms of identity, the prince is the son of the current emperor, but in terms of status, Zhong Shangshu is more popular! No way, people in this world like to climb high and step low, this has been the case since ancient times, and even modern times are no exception.
Therefore, this also made Xiaomi even more determined to prepare a birthday banquet for Yin Zixuan to make him really happy.
She had just met Yin Zixuan, and she was already sure. He's going to be busy lately. Too busy to take care of yourself. It's best to prepare for it this way, so that you can prepare more easily.
found the cloud housekeeper, and when Xiaomi saw that there was no one around, he bluntly told him. I want to help the prince get a lively birthday banquet. I want to ask the cloud butler to help. But. The premise is to keep it a secret from the prince.
Steward Yun is the person Yin Zixuan brought out of the palace, and he was by Yin Zixuan's side when he was young. So, after moving out of the palace. Yin Zixuan handed over a matter of affairs in the palace to him to take care of. Over the years, he has seen how the prince has come over, and he feels sorry for his master, but he can only do anything about it, and all he can do is to do his part seriously, and not let the master worry about some trivial matters.
Now, it's much better, there is such a cheerful girl next to the master, and the smile on her face is beginning to be real.
Therefore, for Xiaomi's request, the cloud butler immediately agreed without thinking.
"Miss Xiaomi, you say, how much silver do you want? Below a few thousand taels, old man, I have done the master. The cloud butler asked.
Steward Yun agreed so readily, Xiaomi knew that he must also trust himself, otherwise he would definitely hesitate. "The silver is not needed for the time being, it can make the prince happy and happy, and the silver is not the point. What I'm short of right now is manpower. "Xiaomi is directly to the point.
That's right, Steward Yun smiled and nodded; "Manpower, that's better, girl, let's talk about it first, what kind of manpower do you want? Strong? Or is it ingenious, or is it good-looking? β
"Haha, Steward Yun, let's prepare a birthday banquet for the prince, and we don't want to go out to fight in a group, of course we don't have to use great strength." Millet said with a grin.
Steward Yun sighed and understood; "If the girl says so, then it's even simpler, isn't there a singer and a dancer and a musician in our house, the girl might as well go and see, there should be a new tune, a new dance."
As for the fact that there is a dancing musician in the house, Xiaomi has long known about it. The so-called dancing queen is a female slave girl who is used for the pleasure of noble rulers. They are good-looking, make a living from art, and settle in the market, and most of them will end up in the dust.
If you are lucky, you will be selected into the mansion of the dignitaries, but you will inevitably become the beneath the nobles.
The dancing girls in other mansions are not idle, and when the master is not recruited, she is busy choreographing and arranging music, thinking about how to please the master. However, the dancing musicians in King Xuan's Mansion are just the opposite. All year round, there is good food and drink in the palace, and life is very comfortable.
No one ever went to ask them what new dances and new songs they had choreographed, and they were just kept alive in vain.
Only on the day of the prince's birthday, there were many visitors, and they had the opportunity to show their faces on stage, and as soon as the birthday banquet was dispersed, they immediately returned to the small courtyard. In addition, the prince has no princess, and there are no side concubines, just a few wives. No matter how boring those ladies were in the palace, no one dared to recruit them to perform.
The yard where they lived, Millet had been to see it, the location was not very remote, but it was very clean. She looked in at the gate of the courtyard, but saw a few women with their heads bowed and embroidering and holding the soles of their shoes. If you hadn't known in advance who lived in that courtyard, you wouldn't have thought that those young women originally made a living by their voices and dancing skills.
"That's right, why did I forget about this stubble, then trouble the housekeeper for you to come with me? Otherwise, if I go, they won't necessarily listen to me. As soon as the cloud housekeeper reminded him, Xiaomi remembered that there were still such a group of people in the palace.
Musicians, dancers, and singers are all ready-made, so it's easier to do what you want to do.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, several women who were drying quilts on the dry immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Steward Yun a little nervously...... (To be continued......)
