The carriage and horses are tired, beautiful, and they came to the palace without any hard work, after worshipping the hall, Gao Xuan went out but did not come back, the luxurious and gorgeous new house, Hua Jingwan sat alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The moon outside the window gradually rose, the night was silent, and Hua Jingwan looked at the red candle on the table in a daze.
Gao Xuan's conscienceless, I don't know if he was drunk or fell into the pit, he didn't even leave a fart on the wedding night, and he disappeared without a trace.
She had a hunch, her embarrassment, and Gao Xuan completely put her into the cold palace.
Touching his lips for a while, he folded his limbs and lay down on the wedding couch.
The workplace is deceitful, she is not so fragile to be able to climb to the small head position in a large company in a short time, and now, she wants to be a worry-free flower!
Time passed quietly between the fingers, and the time of the night passed quickly. Before dawn, the door was pushed open, and a maid in brocade clothes entered.
The maid carried the basin of water, the water was very full, and she walked very steadily, she put the water on the basin rack of the dressing table and turned around and walked towards the wedding couch.
The embroidered tent was not placed, and at a glance I could see the bride sleeping on the bed.
The bride has a head like ink forging green silk on the pillow, her eyes are closed, her long eyelashes cast two faint arcs on her face, her small mouth is slightly open, and the corners of her mouth are faintly marked by Harazi, it seems that she is sleeping soundly, although she is asleep, she has put on a very difficult posture with her legs on her legs.
The maid gave the bride a thumbs up and took a closer look.
Hua Jingwan suddenly felt the itching of her nose like silk, and when she opened her eyes, she saw an enlarged face in front of her, sat up in horror, and shrank forward.
When I looked at her, the person who looked at her was also frightened by her, and although she had straightened up, she was dumbfounded.
looked at it again, and found that the woman standing in front of the bed looked okay, but she had a pair of small eyes, and the worst thing was that she still had a single eyelid.
The single eyelid is not unsightly, and it also has another taste, but it is extremely incompatible with this woman's face.
These eyes...... It's a bad face!
"Who are you?"
The maid let out an 'oh', flustered, and messed with her, "Young lady, the slave is called Dong'er!" ”
"I think it's called Dong'er." Hua Jingwan smiled, got out of bed and sat down again, and asked puzzledly: "Are all the maids in the palace so ugly?" ”
These words seemed to stab Dong'er seriously, and she made a bitter face and hung her head silently.
Hua Jingwan grinned apologetically, and said, "What did you do before?" ”
Dong'er is full of pride when she talks about her previous occupation, "The slave used to chop wood in the kitchen to make a fire and sweep the floor. ”
"Well done, what's the business?" Hua Jingwan laughed, and suddenly frowned, "When did you change careers?" ”
"Today."
"Today!" Hua Jingwan stretched her neck forward, "Who told you to change careers?" ”
"Miss Table!"
"Who's Miss Table?"
From Dong'er's mouth, Hua Jingwan learned that Gao Xuan is the second oldest in the family, the eldest aunt is about the same age as Shen Cheng, called Gao Xue, married far away in the early years, and Gao Xuan was born to the princess Hou, the third Gao Yuan is one year older than her, and was born to the side princess Leng, the fourth Gaoli, fifteen or sixteen years old, and in the boudoir to be married, she was born to the third lady Huang, such as the lady has nothing to do. There is a cousin of Gao Xuan's distant cousin in the house, named Liu Ruyan, who was born in the same year as Gao Yuan, and the month is a little younger, that is, a woman who came from Dong'er.
Liu Ruyan transferred an ugly girl from the kitchen to serve her, isn't this humiliating?
"Is she in charge of the affairs of the house?"
"Not exactly, it's just that the princess loves Miss Table very much, and Miss Table is capable, and some things will be handled by her. Slaves may be the meaning of the princess. ”
Hua Jingwan thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "So it seems that this Liu Ruyan is a relative of the princess!" ”
"Exactly!"
"It's as big as Gao Yuan, and if you don't get married, what are you doing in the palace? Don't you fancy Gao Yuan? ”
Dong'er said again: "The slave forgot to say, there is also a young master Gao Shan who lives in the back house of the palace, and he is a relative of the prince's side, I heard that the young master and Miss Cousin are very good." ”
"If it's good, it's okay, it's none of my business." Hua Jingwan solved the question in her heart, and she didn't bother to ask again.
Coming to the washstand, looking at the full water, Hua Jingwan said: "Next time, fetch less water, this room is covered with carpets, and it is difficult to dry when it gets wet." ”
"The slave does it for the first time, and I'll pay attention to it next time."
After washing his face, he sat down at the dressing table.
The dressing table is mahogany, and every piece of furniture in the new house is, exquisitely made, or atmospheric, or small and exquisite, each of which makes Hua Jingwan like and surprise.
The mirror is made of copper, the workmanship is excellent, and the style is generous and feminine.
Hua Jingwan held the mirror in her hand, waiting for Dong'er to comb her hair, Dong'er held the jade comb in a panic, and after a long time, she didn't make a decent bun with her clumsy hands.
Dong'er did this for the first time, Hua Jingwan was helpless except for helplessness, so she caught a few locks of hair and tied them with a pink gauze belt.
There was a plate of pumpkin seeds on the round table covered with red flannel, and Hua Jingwan sat down on her legs at the table, peeling melon seeds and asking, "Have you seen the prince?" ”
"Is the young lady talking about the child?"
Hua Jingwan rolled her eyes at Dong'er, "Isn't there anyone else?" ”
"I heard that the prince guarded the prince until midnight, and later, the slave didn't know."
Guard! Could it be that the prince is going to die? But since he was able to go to Xitang yesterday, it proves that he is not terminally ill?
Hua Jingwan was stunned, "How is the prince now?" ”
Dong'er flatteringly gave Hua Jingwan a light slap on her back, a little heavier, a little lighter, which made Hua Jingwan impatient and lifted her.
"Miss Biao went to the kitchen today, and the slave heard Miss Biao say, 'I thought that it would be better to have a happy event, but I didn't expect it to be the same.' ”
Hua Jingwan knew about Chongxi, but when she thought about it, she was still quite puzzled, the Gao family looked down on the Shen family, if it was a simple Chongxi, Gao Xuan could marry a woman casually.
Thinking about it, I suddenly figured out that it must be Gao Qing who insisted on asking Gao Xuan to marry the daughter of the Shen family, but Gao Xuan was helpless and agreed for the sake of Chongxi.
She was able to marry into the Gao family, thanks to her father-in-law's blessing.
"What should the bride do when she enters the door?"
Dong'er thought about it and shook her head again.
"It's useless to ask." Hua Jingwan got up, took two pairs of men's and women's cloth shoes tied together on the dressing table, folded her hands with her big sleeves, and walked quickly towards the door.
The gift to her parents-in-law was not decent, she was afraid that Dong'er would see it.
When he came, Shen Bo said that he didn't know the rest of the Gao family, but he still knew the prince Gao Qing, who was an amiable old man.
His health was at stake in her fate, and she had to go see him.
Get rid of the old man, see if you Gao Xuan doesn't give in!
The palace building is carved and painted, the ring corridor is connected, the greenery is everywhere, the flowers are splendid, the fragrance is bursting, and it is beautiful.
The kitchen, in order, is in full swing and is not messy.
At the entrance, there is a three-meter-long desk, and a long utility shelf is placed in the center, making the long space look longer, and a variety of dishes and rare dry goods are placed in an orderly manner. Inside is the sink and countertop, on which are chopping boards, kitchen knives, and food to be cut.
Among these people, a woman in a purple dress stands out from the crowd, and she is confidently commanding her subordinates to do this and that, and even the maid next to her has the taste of a master.
"The prince ate too greasy last night, and this morning's porridge should be light, and don't add anything; Breakfast should be eaten well, and the princess and the princess are still nutritious soup; The third lady and Mrs. Ru are losing weight, don't forget the fruit ......"
