Chapter 454: Advancement
"Good boy."
The Queen Mother took Li Luan'er's hand and instructed: "I can't go out of the palace to see Feng'er, you are her sister, you can look at her more in the future, if she has anything to eat, drink, or use, you tell me, and I will ask someone to send it to her." β
Li Luan'er agreed with a smile, and the Queen Mother pulled Mrs. Gu to ask how the three boys in her family were, and asked Mrs. Gu to have time to take the children to the palace to play and something like that.
The Queen Mother chattered for a long time, and when Li Luan'er and Mrs. Gu were about to get up and say goodbye, the Queen Mother said again: "You go back and talk to Feng'er, it's also difficult for her, tell her to take care of herself, I'm still waiting for her to come back, so that she doesn't have to hate the official family, the official family is also for her good." β
"Feng'er understands it in her heart." Li Luan'er said with a smile: "Don't worry about her, Feng'er is in good health, not to mention going to another courtyard, even if she goes to the wilderness, she is not afraid." β
Li Luan'er said this very cleverly, only saying that Li Feng'er understood in her heart, but she would not respond to the Queen Mother's words to tell Li Feng'er not to hate the official family, but it could also make the Queen Mother think that Li Feng'er would not hold a grudge.
The Queen Mother really thought so, smiled and praised Li Luan'er again, and then asked someone to send Li Luan'er and Mrs. Gu out of the palace.
Li Luan'er went back and complained to herself, and then she was busy sending letters to Li Feng'er, and she was busy raising children, so she also left many things behind, and when she came back to her senses, Gu Ming had already taken her newlywed wife to take office, and the Xing family was also separated, Xing Zhi and Gu Xin moved out to live their own small life, and Yu Ziran entered the Hanlin Academy to compile books, and Gu Erniang was already married, and the son was also busy packing up his things with Xu Huaiwen to leave the capital to be a magistrate.
In addition to the Xu family, Li Luan'er sent gifts to each family and gave Gu Ming a ceremony. Naturally, when I was sending Gu Ming a ceremony, I heard Mrs. Gu talk about the Cui family.
It is said that Cui Zhenggong participated in the imperial examination again this time, but for some reason he still failed to complete the examination and was carried out of the tribute academy, and three years of time were wasted.
Listening to Mrs. Gu's meaning, Cui Zhenggong lost his temper with Zhang Ying when he went back after participating in the scientific examination, pointed to Zhang Ying's nose and said that she was tired, and said that Zhang Ying's blessing was the life of Kefukezi. Otherwise, after he married Zhang Ying, his luck was not as good as day by day. And it is clear that the Li family's son Fang Zi is as effective, and everyone else can give birth to a son, but Zhang Ying took the same recipe and only gave birth to a girl.
Cui Zhenggong also tolerated Zhang Ying. Although the Song family saw that Zhang Ying was not pleasing to the eye, Cui Zhenggong could also get by on the face, but Cui Zhenggong's tantrum Zhang Ying was moldy, and the Song family began to ignore Zhang Ying's torment, and asked her to stand all day long. beat and scolded her at every turn, and also picked several beautiful concubines for Cui Zhenggong.
The people in Cui Zhenggong's house saw that Zhang Ying's status in the Cui family was getting lower and lower. also followed to scold her for mulberry, and from time to time she mixed a few words with Zhang Ying, but Zhang Ying's hated teeth itched but there was nothing to be done.
Li Luan'er only listened to Mrs. Gu talk about the Cui family as a joke, she was not the original body. I haven't been in the Cui family, and I haven't been treated unfairly, so I don't have any feelings for the Cui family. At this time, she didn't feel very happy, but she didn't have a good impression of the Cui family. I was also a little happy to hear the news that the Cui family was in a mess.
After a moment of calming down, Li Luan'er went to see Li Feng'er in the other courtyard once, and saw Li Feng'er's stomach bulging like a blow, and heard Li Feng'er say that the child's movements were bigger and bigger day by day, Li Luan'er was also happy for her, and carefully checked her pulse, knowing that Li Feng'er's body was strong and tight, and the child was also very healthy, so she was also relieved.
After staying in the courtyard for a long time, I took Li Feng'er to walk around the garden, and the sisters gossiped for a long time, and Li Luan'er left.
Waiting for the carriage, Li Luan'er found that it was the end of spring unconsciously, looking at the big sun hanging in the sky, the streets were steaming, and pedestrians were hurrying back and forth because of the hot weather, so she regretted that she missed the good spring this year.
After all, there was nothing to do when her son went back, so Li Luaner simply asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Jucuiyuan, wanting to go there to see if there were any chic jewelry.
The carriage stopped at the door of Jucuiyuan for more than half an hour, Li Luan'er helped Ruizhu's men get out of the car, looked up at Jucuiyuan's flat forehead, and walked in amid Xiao Er's greeting.
As soon as she entered the door, a brightly dressed woman stepped forward to greet her: "Grandma Yan hasn't been here for a few days, we just made some new jewelry in our shop, do you want to pick some back." β
Li Luan'er nodded and went directly to the second floor, the first floor of this Jucuiyuan sells some ordinary jewelry, and the price is much cheaper, but the jewelry on the second floor is a fine product, and the price is naturally very expensive, and the average rich family can't afford to buy one or two pieces of jewelry here.
Because of the relationship between the Gu family, Li Luan'er buys things in Jucuiyuan much cheaper than others, naturally, she is not cheap, the picture is also Jucuiyuan's jewelry is exquisite and chic, and the materials are also ten out of ten, and it will not be fashionable to buy it for a few years, even if you wear it out, you will have face.
Familiar with the way into a small private room, Li Luan'er sat down behind a table of eight immortals, a guy brought tea and snacks, and a little girl came in with a big box, there were several layers of small drawers in the box, layer by layer, and many exquisite ornaments were placed on each layer.
Li Luan'er picked them one by one, and finally picked out two white jade hairpins and Tilian, a pearl forehead ornament, a few ivory combs, and a pair of jasper concubine bracelets.
After choosing, the girl took a mahogany box, which was covered with light pink flannel, and the little girl carefully packed the jewelry selected by Li Luan'er one by one, and then handed it to Ruizhu.
Li Luan'er got up and smiled at the woman who greeted her: "He Niangzi, it's still the old rule, let's record it in the account." β
That Mrs. He agreed with a smile, and carefully sent Li Luan'er downstairs, Li Luan'er went downstairs and didn't look at it, and walked directly to the outside of the store, not wanting to take a few steps There is an indescribable feeling in her heart, it seems that she still wants to stay in Jucuiyuan, as if there is something here that attracts her, if she doesn't look at it, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
Li Luan'er's mental power is stronger than ordinary people, I don't know how many times, the sixth sense is naturally very effective, in the last days, it was this sixth sense with some foreknowledge that saved her I don't know how many times, she is also very familiar with this feeling. Even today, when the idea of nostalgia came up again, Li Luan'er was not in a hurry to leave, and turned around and looked slowly in front of several counters on the first floor.
After looking at two or three counters, I found that the jewelry placed inside was a very ordinary gold and silver jewelry inlaid with broken gems, although it looked good, but both the workmanship and the materials were 108,000 miles worse than those picked by Li Luan'er.
After looking at it for a while, she shook her head, and then looked at the string of pearls next to her, and after looking at it for a long time, she realized that these pearls were just very ordinary small pearls. The color is mostly white. There were a few strings of red pearls here and there, but the beads were small and not very uniform, so he shook his head and sighed.
When she arrived at the last counter, Li Luan'er stopped. Carefully staring at a red gold dotted emerald inlaid gemstone hairpin placed inside.
It's not that this hairpin is good-looking, but it's that a bright gem set on the hairpin is very familiar, without it, this gem is similar to the feeling that the crystal nucleus in the brain of the mutant beast in the last days gave Li Luan'er.
It's just that. How does the world today have the existence of mutant beasts?
Li Luan'er was a little puzzled, but. But it didn't prevent her from buying this hairpin.
asked the guy to wrap the hairpin for her, Li Luan'er took it with her own hands and held it tightly, and called Mrs. He and asked: "This hairpin is made by your store yourself?" β
He Niangzi looked at it twice and nodded: "It's our craftsmanship in Jucuifang, I don't know ...... Grandma Yan."
Li Luan'er smiled: "I like the gems on this hairpin very much." I just want to ask if I can find the same one again, don't worry, I won't keep you busy in vain. If I could find it, I would be grateful. β
He Niangzi knew that Li Luan'er had some money on hand. I also know her character of doing what she says, as soon as I heard her say that she has a heavy thanks, she knows that she really wants to achieve her wish, this thank you gift must be thin, and there is a little joy in my heart: "Grandma Yan doesn't know, the gems inlaid on this hairpin are still purchased by my grandson himself, I will go back and ask him if he has the same, if there is, I will ask everyone to gather in one place and send it to you in person." β
Li Luan'er laughed when she heard this: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." β
He Niangzi hurriedly said that she would not bother and personally sent Li Luan'er out of the door.
Li Luan'er took the hairpin and was anxious, she wanted to make sure that the gem on the hairpin could help her cultivate her spiritual power like a crystal nucleus, if she could really increase her spiritual power, she would advance to the fifth level much faster.
Urging the coachman to rush home in the shortest possible time, Li Luan'er asked Yan Chengyue where he was going as soon as he entered the house, and learned that Yan Chengyue had returned to the old house, Li Luan'er picked a side room in the main courtyard to go in, called Ruizhu to guard the door, and told SΓΉ Ruizhu that she wanted to retreat, and no one was allowed to open the door if she came.
Rui Zhu answered lightly and took the embroidery work and sat outside the house to guard, Li Luan'er hurriedly sat on the bed, took out the hairpin from her sleeve, pulled the inlaid gem down, threw the red gold hairpin aside, put her hands together, put the gem in the palm of her hand, closed her eyes and silently felt the composition of the gem.
After a long time, Li Luan'er opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth hooked up a cheerful smile, and she spread her hands, and the gem in the palm of her hand had turned into a piece of powder.
She laughed and blew the powder off the ground, clapped her hands and stood up, pressing her right hand to her heart to hold down her heartbeat, so that she would not do anything out of joy because of her joy.
It was really too pleasantly surprised, Li Luan'er didn't expect that the spiritual power contained in that gem was even more than the mutant beast crystal nucleus, I don't know how much, only absorbing that gem, her spiritual power would grow a lot, if there was another one, Li Luan'er would be able to ensure that she could easily advance to the fifth level in the shortest possible time.
Let go of the spiritual power, lightly take a Yan Mansion cage in it, and spread it out little by little, most of the capital is under control, and the smile on the corner of Li Luan'er's mouth is getting stronger and stronger.
Then, she saw Yan Chengyue entering the door and slowly walking here in a wheelchair, so she quickly pushed the door out and smiled at Ruizhu: "I'm hungry, you go to the kitchen to urge them and ask them to get a table of noodles." (To be continued) R580
