On the ninth day of the eighth month, Han Mingcan, the second daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion, invited the daughters of the princes and families in Kyoto to gather in the chess club. After breakfast, Su Yuyu asked someone to invite Yao Yanyu, this is Yao Yanyu's first social activity after arriving in the capital, and she herself attaches great importance to it, after all, she will have to mess around in the future, and it is not a bad thing to be familiar with these noble girls.

Flowing cloud bun, white hosta, pale pink beaded flowers, peanut-sized pearl ears, pine flower-colored cloud goose pattern skirt, a light and elegant dress, the only gorgeous is the red gold sunflower inlaid emerald brooch at the junction of the placket of the skirt.

Yao Yanyu stood in front of the dressing mirror and watched the two girls Cuiwei and Cuiping finish dressing themselves up from head to toe, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's really troublesome to go out." ”

"Girl, don't say that, we are going to the Zhenguo Mansion, if you don't dress up carefully, don't say that our aunt and grandmother are not happy, and if the lord and wife know about it in the future, we will have to beat the slave and maid half to death."

This is true, the Yao family has always been face-heavy, and her visit to the Zhenguo Mansion represents not only the face of the third young lady of the Dinghou Mansion, but also the face of the Yao Mansion, the governor of Liangjiang.

After getting dressed neatly, I first went to the front to see Yao Fengge, Yao Fengge pulled her up and down, left and right, and then instructed Sango: "Bring my pair of jade bracelets." ”

Coral promised to turn around and go out, and after a while, he came with a delicate carved sandalwood box, Yao Fengge opened it, and inside was a pair of ice jade bracelets, crystal clear, full of water color, and it was a rare and superb at a glance. If it is placed in modern times, I am afraid that it will not be possible to take it without hundreds of thousands.

Yao Fengge took down the string of sandalwood beads in Yao Yanyu's hand, and chuckled: "What are you doing with this at a young age?" and he who does not recite sutras and eats fasting. ”

Yao Yanyu didn't dare to say that this was the only thought left to her daughter by the noble concubine who died of Yao Yuanzhi, the deity's mother, so she had to let Yao Fengge put the pair of jade bracelets on her left wrist. The two bracelets touched, emitting the sound of gold and stone, which was crisp and very pleasant.

Coming out of Yao Fengge's place and going to Mrs. Lu's room, Yao Yanyu asked Mrs. Lu for peace, and together with Su Yuxing, the two of them went out surrounded by a large group of mothers-in-law and girls, got into a big carriage with Zhu Luncui and covered the double horse, and went out of Dinghou Mansion to the direction of Zhenguo Mansion.

In the car, Su Yuyu and Yao Yanyu sat side by side, and when they accidentally saw the jade bracelet on her wrist, they couldn't help but pull it over to take a closer look, and said with a smile: "This is the third sister-in-law's thing." I remember that the Queen Mother gave a banquet during the Lantern Festival the year before last, and she brought this pair of bracelets when she entered the palace with her aunt, and even the aunt said that it was a very rare good thing. Now that I have given it to you, it can be seen that you have a deep sisterhood, and she really loves you. ”

Yao Yanyu smiled: "Yes, my sister has loved me since I was a child." When I was at home, a lot of things were for me and my third sister. "It's nice to say that you don't need money, but just say it, the sisters in the family are friendly, and the harmony between the elders and the young is something that everyone likes to see.

The carriage smoothly passed through a street in front of the Dinghou Mansion and turned into the downtown area.

Su Yuxuan stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and ordered: "Go to the Wang Ji blacksmith shop in front and stop for a while." ”

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly went out and commanded the coachman. Su Yuyu held Yao Yanyu's hand and said with a smile: "I asked them to make a short dagger, it's been a few days, it should be good." I happened to be passing by today, so let's take it and go. ”

Yao Yanyu's heart moved, and she smiled and nodded.

Forget that the blacksmith shop is a long-established shop in Kyoto, and it is said that the art of forging swords from iron can be traced back to 300 years ago.

The carriage stopped at the door of the shop, Su Yuyu pulled Yao Yanyu to get up and get out of the car, most of the servants waited outside, and then the nurse and the girl who served close followed in.

"Yo, hello two girls." When the shopkeeper saw the two girls in fancy clothes coming in, he smiled and bowed down to greet him.

"Boss, did I call someone to order a dagger a few days ago?" Su Yuxin walked directly to the counter, her little chin raised, quite a noble girl's demeanor, worthy of a girl who grew up with the eldest princess.

"That's it! Yesterday, the little one wanted to ask someone to go to the eldest princess's mansion to deliver a letter to the girl, but he was busy and forgot about it, it's really damned. The shopkeeper scolded himself for damning, and turned around and went into the room to find Su Yuding's dagger.

After a while, he took out a short dagger of about seven inches, with a bright tip, and the handle was wrapped in brown leather, inlaid with blue-green gemstones, and the pattern was intricate and gorgeous.

Su Yuxuan weighed left and right, was very satisfied, and turned her head to ask the nurse to pay. The nurse took out a silver ticket from her purse and handed it over, and the shopkeeper thanked him.

Yao Yanyu was moved for a while, because she asked, "Can you customize the small blade here?" I want the kind of knife that is very small, the size of a little finger, the kind that is extremely sharp and does not rust. ”

When the boss heard this, he immediately lowered his voice mysteriously and asked, "Yo, listen to what this girl said, can such a small one still be called a knife?" Isn't it the unique secret weapon of that martial arts family? ”

Yao Yanyu smiled helplessly: "What secret weapon?" You've listened to a lot of books, haven't you? I'm talking about knives. Do you have paper? I can draw a picture for you. If it's done, your silver is indispensable. ”

She had always wanted a set of scalpels. In her last life, she worked so hard just to be an excellent thoracic surgeon, and the honor of the holy hand of surgery was what she had always looked forward to, but she didn't get here because of a plane crash.

In fact, any jewelry and jade are floating clouds to Yao Yanyu, and if anyone can give her a set of scalpels imported from Germany at this time, she may nod her head and agree.

The boss really took a pen and paper, Yao Yanyu drew a set of scalpels to show him, and pointed out: The one I drew is almost the actual size, it should be so small, and the tip of the knife must be exquisite.

A few people were talking, and there was a noise outside the door, and three or five tall men came in.

"Boss!" Someone behind him shouted loudly, full of momentum, "Is our general's stuff okay?" ”

Yao Yanyu suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if he was being targeted by some fierce beast, and the hairs on his body almost stood up.

There were four people in total, the leader was slender and tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a silver-gray dark striped gown, and a pair of dark brown deerskin combat boots on his feet. A handsome wheat-colored face, wide forehead, square chin, light green stubble, deep eyebrows and cold eyes like an axe carved with a knife, long hair tied up with a peach hairpin, forehead sideburns have hair falling at will, adding a bit of unruly color.

Isn't this the man who rode behind Seiwang Shizi when the victorious army triumphed that day?! Yao Yanyu's heart was cold, thinking of the jade earrings that she was inadvertently ticked off by Su Yuyu that day, and that piercing gaze, she couldn't help but hide back, secretly thinking that this person was by no means an ordinary person, and she had to hide if she couldn't afford it.

Yao Yan inadvertently hid beside Su Yuxin, and Su Yuxuan immediately came to his senses. 、

As a girl who grew up in the eldest princess's mansion, Su Yuyu has been taught to be righteous and straightforward since she was a child, today she took Yao Yanyu out, in her opinion, Yao Yanyu is her guest, if someone bullies Yao Yanyu in front of her on the ground in the capital, it is to lose the face of her Su Yuyu and the eldest princess's mansion.

Is it tolerable or intolerable? So Miss Su was stunned and asked the visitor: "Who are you?" How dare you be so rude?! ”
