Chapter Eighty-Four: Add Makeup
As soon as breakfast was withdrawn, the two of them had not spoken a few intimate words when another guest came.
"Ah Hua, I'm here to put on your makeup!" Without waiting for the maids to report, Minyi walked straight in in a hurry, she hadn't seen her friend for a while, if it weren't for the princess's detention, she would have run to the door without hesitation.
As soon as she heard her friend's voice, Zhihua couldn't help but raise a happy smile, said something to her aunt, and was about to go out to meet her, but she rampage into the inner room by herself.
The two happened to meet at the door, Minyi opened her arms and hugged Zhihua, and said in a hearty voice: "Ah Hua, I want to ...... Uh, I miss you. Originally, I was going to say "I want to kill you", but when I thought of the taboo to say this word on the big day, I stopped my mouth.
Zhihua was happy, "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been very successful in disciplining you during this time, and she has already known what she has to say." ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Minyi couldn't wait to look up to the sky and sighed, caught her friend and spit out her bitterness: "Don't mention it, you don't know, my mother found a nurturing grandmother out of nowhere, but she tortured me miserably!" When I eat, she lights incense on the side, and if I finish the incense, I will finish the meal, and I will starve for the next meal. That's not all, I have to carry a bowl of water above my head after eating every day and circle the yard three times. It's not okay to walk fast, it's not okay to take too big a step, and it's not okay to spill water...... Even when I laughed, she couldn't wait to take a ruler and measure me to see if my mouth was more than an inch. ”
As Minyi's best friend, Zhihua was very embarrassed to hold back her laughter, only turned her face away, and her body trembled slightly. Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting in the inner room, couldn't hold back, a mouthful of tea squirted out, and she almost laughed.
Minyi didn't notice that there were any guests in the house. She held back what she said just now for too long, and she spoke quickly and urgently, and accidentally let all outsiders hear it, and immediately made a big red face.
Mrs. Jiang listened to their conversation and knew that this was the eldest princess's only beloved daughter, and she really shouldn't laugh at others like this, so she relented after a while. He took a few deep breaths before he could barely suppress his smile.
Minyi was not annoyed by the strange woman's laughter, but was only slightly embarrassed.
Zhihua came back to her senses and hurriedly pulled her forward to introduce. "Minyi. This is my aunt, who only came back from the border the day before yesterday, and you certainly haven't seen it. ”
Turning his head and introducing to Mrs. Jiang, "Auntie, this is my best friend Minyi. ”
Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to hold it up. Hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I've seen the county lord." ”
Minyi held her hands weakly. With a kind of respect for the elders, he said, "Madame doesn't have to be polite. You also heard it just now, I don't like to be restrained, you are Aunt Ahua, that is my elder. See you next time, let's save these messy etiquette. ”
These words were deeply cast into Mrs. Jiang's temperament, and the more she looked at this little girl, the more she felt that she was really cute, so she responded: "That's good." I'll ask you to call your name with Ah Hua. ”
"Okay. Then I'll follow Ah Hua to call you aunt. Minyi didn't expect that Zhihua's aunt was such a cool person, and under the fate, this "aunt" screamed and was even more affectionate than Zhihua.
Zhihua watched them fight hotly in a few words, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they threw themselves aside, and suddenly felt funny. Then he smiled and quipped: "Congratulations to my aunt for picking up a niece for nothing, but well, this meeting gift can't be saved." ”
Jiang Wu was just dismissed, and the family property is still there. After fighting at the border for so many years, he has seized a lot of good things from the hands of the Limeng people, and the Jiang family is not obvious on the surface, but the foundation is actually quite rich. Without hesitation, Mrs. Jiang took out a string of pearl necklaces that she was wearing close to her neck and put it into Minyi's hand herself: "Ah Hua is right. This beaded chain was the first piece of jewelry her uncle gave me that year, and my aunt knows that you are used to seeing good things, so don't dislike it. ”
Minyi looked down and saw that each bead chain in her hand was the size of a lotus seed, round and full, with a smooth luster. When I heard that there was such a history, I hurriedly returned it: "Auntie, you should keep such a precious thing for yourself." ”
Mrs. Jiang refused to take it, "As soon as I saw your child, I felt that I fell in love, and I was so white that I couldn't get my hands on such a good niece, not the most precious thing on my body." To tell you the truth, other jewelry on my body is worth more than this chain, if you dislike it, then my aunt will give you the most valuable one. ”
Minyi was not a person who twisted it, and when she heard her aunt say this, she immediately accepted the beaded chain and put it in her purse preciously. "No need to change it, I like this beaded chain, thank you, aunt."
Zhihua pretended to be jealous on the side, pouting and complaining: "Okay, you guys are here to add makeup to me today, and I haven't received a gift yet!" ”
Mrs. Jiang and Minyi looked at her together, and even said in unison: "Your share is indispensable!" ”
After that, the three of them were stunned for a moment because of this unexpected tacit understanding, and then laughed together, and the room was full of joy.
After the sensitive instrument, dozens of guests came one after another to add makeup.
Most of these people Zhihua don't know, some are to tie up the future princess, some want to ask for a plum blossom seal, and some are purely here to join in the fun. At the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, Mrs. Song, who got her gift, sent her daughter-in-law to send a generous gift, and Mrs. Wen also sent the Japanese desire in exchange, but in the end she politely refused three precious and unique books as makeup, and what surprised Zhihua was that Princess Yan actually came in person.
Fortunately, Zhihua followed Mama Dou by her side, and with her help, she was able to cope with these unfamiliar ladies and daughters with ease, and nothing went wrong.
Madame Jiang was by her side and helped her greet the guests. Minyi was the most impatient to greet people politely, and it was rare to have the opportunity to get rid of the upbringing grandmother who had made her suffer so much to breathe, so she didn't want to go back so early. After greeting Zhihua, he walked out of Qiuhua Courtyard and walked around the garden at Lu's house.

On the other side, when Jiang Yunfei followed the maid to Qingyun Courtyard, Lu Yan was practicing alone in the courtyard. Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong brothers talked to him and wanted to join the army and join the battlefield. Lu Yan respected their opinions very much, and was afraid that Uncle Jiang would not allow it, so he specially wrote a letter to help the two intercede. When the three arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, they parted ways and returned to their homes. Therefore, on weekdays, it is a small courtyard where the three of them practice martial arts together, because Lu Yan's lonely figure is covered with a layer of sparse atmosphere.
The sunny Jiang Yunfei dispelled this loneliness as soon as he came, and I don't know if it was the inheritance of the Jiang family, Jiang Wu's father and son, together with Lu Yan, all had a loud voice. As soon as he saw the figure of his cousin practicing boxing in the courtyard, he actually laughed, shouted and jumped over to meet him: "Cousin, cousin will accompany you to practice." ”
When Lu Yan heard this, he was about to stop to salute his cousin, but he didn't want him to attack like this, so he couldn't catch off guard, and almost let the tiger fist smash on his face. narrowly avoided this punch, Lu Yan was also interested, and fought back without showing weakness. This pair of cousins, who have not seen each other for more than ten years, just like this, you come and go, reminiscing about the old with your fists. (To be continued.) )
