Chapter Seventy-Four: Camellia Hairpins
Early in the morning, while it was not too hot, Xie Zhaolin got up early to freshen up, and then went back to the room to practice calligraphy after having breakfast with his second uncle's family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Half an hour passed, Xie Zhaolin looked at the five finished products on the table and was very satisfied, thinking that his level of writing with his right hand had become more and more sophisticated, so he put down his pen and rested.
It happened that Hongqing came back from outside, and when he saw this, he went to make tea for Xie Zhaolin.
Not long after she left, Xie Xuelin came to the door. "Sister Yilin's handwriting is really good, it's hard for you to have this patience." She looked at the paper on the desk and complimented.
"My sister praised it, sit, Hongqing, go get some refreshments!" Xie Zhaolin instructed Hongqingdao.
Xie Xuelin had a smile on her face, and stopped unhurriedly: "Sister, don't need it, it's hot, just drink some tea, as for the pastries, it's really greasy to eat, so you don't have to bother." ”
Since she said no, Xie Zhaolin didn't force it, but personally poured tea for Xie Xuelin, and then waited for her to tell her the purpose of the trip.
Probably in order to show her intimacy with Xie Zhaolin and to anger her eldest sister, Xie Xuelin specially invited Xie Zhaolin to live in the same courtyard with her, and there are more contacts in normal times.
After a lot of contacts, they slowly got to know each other, so Xie Zhaolin unexpectedly discovered that Xie Xuelin was actually a very purposeful person.
In other words, she won't come to you unless something happens, and even if she invites you to live with her, it's just to show others.
In this regard, Xie Zhaolin has a deep understanding, no, since a visit to Fahua Temple a few days ago, she has been hanging for several days.
Fortunately, she is not a person who likes to be lively, and Xie Xuelin does not have much sense of disparity if she does not come to her.
At this time, after Xie Xuelin drank a cup of tea slowly, she suddenly looked at Xie Zhaolin's head, and after looking at it for a while, she smiled: "The hairpin on my sister's head is too plain, not suitable for your age." ”
"Really?" Xie Zhaolin touched the agate silver hairpin on his head, and also felt that it was a little pure.
But she can't be blamed, because when she was a child, she was taught by Aunt Zhang to be simple, and the good things given by others were also returned one by one. When you get to the Xuanyang faction, you don't care about dressing up, you just want to be generous and decent.
So Xie Zhaolin really doesn't know much about this aspect of things. Generally speaking, what to wear, after arriving in the palace, there is a special teaching and guidance of Mama, which can be regarded as some progress.
Seeing Xie Zhaolin's slightly embarrassed smile, Xie Xuelin knew that she somewhat agreed with her words, and couldn't help but be very proud.
In the end, it's a dirt bun, and there are few things that can be handled!
So she turned slightly and beckoned to the girl behind her, who stepped forward and presented the booklet that she had been holding in her hand.
Xie Xuelin opened the booklet, looked at Xie Zhaolin, and motioned for her to read it for herself.
I saw that there were many drawings in the booklet, delicate and intricate, and colored, and they were patterns of jewelry, nine on each page, all of them exquisite, and I had never seen them on the street.
"What is this?" Xie Zhaolin looked at the other party with some confusion.
A smile appeared on Xie Xuelin's delicate face, but there was still a slight sneer, and she said proudly: "The famous jewelry workshop in Beijing, the new styles that will be released in the second half of the year are all here." ”
"Oh, that's a rarity!" Xie Zhaolin sighed and closed the booklet and pushed it back.
Now Xie Xue Linqi said: "Sister doesn't pick one?" My sister picked it for my sister! Let's pick one of our sisters, and it will be easy to let Jingyu Pavilion customize it at that time. ”
"Come on, come on, sister pick one, there are a lot of patterns here, you only turned one page, how do you know that there is no one you like? If you don't even want to look at it, aren't you dissatisfied with me? Xie Xuelin pushed the booklet back again, insisting that Xie Zhaolin pick one.
Therefore, although she is not as good as Second Mrs. Xie, Xie Xuelin is still like her in many places, and over time, she will definitely become a smart character like her mother.
Xie Zhaolin was so entangled that she couldn't do it, and if she didn't agree to such a simple thing, it really seemed unkind. She originally thought that Xie Xuelin was using this booklet to show off, after all, these days, Xie Zhaolin found that love to show off is also a major character trait of this cousin.
It's just that these words can't be spoken, so Xie Zhaolin can only explain his behavior just now in another way: "My sister is too worried, the days I live here are not all arranged by my sister, how can I be dissatisfied?" I'm just thinking, I wonder if my sister has shown the pattern to the eldest sister first? ”
Xie Xuelin and Xie Yulin have a bad relationship, which has long been seen by Xie Zhaolin. But Xie Yulin is the eldest daughter after all, and this face still has to be given.
Sure enough, Xie Xuelin's face was a little embarrassed as soon as she heard her eldest sister's name, she glanced away and said, "Naturally, I want to show my eldest sister, but the person who comes is a guest, and we live so close, it's nothing to let my sister pick first." If the eldest sister doesn't even have this amount of tolerance, it will make people laugh! ”
Xie Zhaolin was originally looking for an excuse to cover up his behavior just now, but when he heard this, he smiled and opened the booklet and read it carefully.
Although the jewelry patterns drawn in the booklet are exquisite, unfortunately, there is no one that is satisfactory. Xie Zhaolin was about to pick a random thing, but was suddenly attracted by the pattern on the back cover of the last page.
She pointed to the pattern and asked Xie Xuelin, "This?" Can it be done too? ”
Xie Xuelin looked at her fingers and couldn't help laughing: "My good sister, this is a beautiful painting on the back cover!" She paused and added, "However, if you want to do it, it's not impossible, the Crystal Jade Pavilion has everything you need." ”
"Really? Then I'm going to have this! Xie Zhaolin made up her mind.
"Okay, what material does my sister want to use?" Xie Xuelin was a little strange, but she had already spoken, so she naturally wanted to get things done.
Xie Zhaolin pondered for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Is it okay to use white jade?" ”
"Okay, I've written it all down here, if the sister has nothing to do, Xue Lin will leave first, and show these patterns to the other sisters!"
"Sister go slowly, I won't send it here." Xie Zhaolin said this, but he still got up to send him off.
After Xie Xuelin left, Hongqing came up to clean up the tea set, and saw Xie Zhaolin's eyes shining and her face flushing, and she couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of magical jewelry can make Miss like a young girl!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a camellia hairpin!" Xie Zhaolin glared at her with disgust, and finally showed the delicate appearance of a child at this age.
However, she added in her heart that it was not an ordinary hairpin, but a thought she had left for the past, and perhaps the only one.
