Chapter Seventy-Eight
Thinking that the gift that had already been prepared for the senior sister was still in the cabinet, taking advantage of the time when Banlan went out, Dongfang Du turned around and went to get another small box. The Jue given to Dark Cloud was placed in a small box of rosewood, but at this moment, the small box in Dongfangdu's hand was golden camphor wood, and the pattern around it looked like gold velvet at first glance.
Dongfang Du naturally saw the curiosity in Dark Cloud's eyes, but pretended not to know, and just when she wanted to ask, Chu Mi came in behind Banlan.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the box in Dongfang Du's hand at a glance, the corners of my mouth hooked, and I asked with a smile: "Xiaodu, you gave it to me?" This initiative to ask for a gift may be rude in the eyes of others, but between them, it is a normal thing. As soon as Chu Mi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand from the big cloud, "This, for you." "It's a navy blue brocade with silver wire.
Dongfang Du smiled and took Chu Mi's Jinpa, and put the golden camphor wood locket in her hand, "Senior sister, guess what's inside?" "I didn't let her open it directly, just to see if she could guess what she would give.
Chu Mi secretly weighed the gold camphor wood locket, it was not heavy, and there was no special sound when he took it, it was not jade or gold and silver jewelry, and he really couldn't guess what it was. After thinking about it, he replied tentatively, "Is it a jade pendant?" "Giving people gifts is nothing more than jade jewelry, although I feel that the things in this box are not these things, but at this moment, I can only guess whether it is jade or not.
Just when she said that it was jade, Dark Cloud's heart couldn't help but twitch, and a sullen tingle, 'It can't really be jade, right?!' The gaze that fell on the small box moved back to Dongfangdu's face, seeing that she was still smiling, neither nodding nor shaking her head, her throat was tight, wouldn't it really be that everyone would send jade! Dark Cloud subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.
Feeling the sudden chill, Dongfang Du glanced at the dark clouds beside her with her spare eyes, and this chill really came from her. Isn't it just a gift for my senior sister, as for looking at her like this?
"Is it a silver hairpin?" Chu Mi seemed unaware of the strange appearance of the dark cloud, and continued to guess the contents of this box, "Could it be a jade bracelet?" I didn't even guess three things, and Dongfang Du nodded, so he said: "Xiaodu, I can't guess, can you open it and take a look?" "I really can't guess it! In the past, Dongfang Du gave her things, she opened them directly, and she had never let her guess like today, and I don't know what idea she had in mind.
Think about the past, when I was young, I gave away small things that were worthless. What she sent to Dongfang Du were embroidered handkerchiefs and purses and other embroidery items by herself, don't look at her dancing knives and swords all day long, and picking up needles is also a good embroidery.
And Dongfang Du gave her all the wooden hairpins carved by herself, although she didn't use them, she also accepted them one by one. At that time, their master Wuyazi also smiled and said: "Xiao Du'er has given hairpins since she was a child, and when Xiao Mi'er and Lu are married, you have to marry Xiao Du'er if you don't marry......"
Dongfang Du lowered his eyes on Chu Mi's face, smiled lightly, and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Now that the two of them are so old, it is impossible for her to give herself such a worthless but affectionate thing, right? If you still send those things, there's no need to let yourself guess. Even though I think so, I still have expectations. Chu Mi held the small box in his left hand, gently unbuttoned the button with the thumb of his right hand, and slowly opened the box, the moment he saw the hairpin in the box, his eyes instantly froze and then lit up again, and the corners of his mouth, eyes, and eyebrows were all dyed with a smile.
"Why do you still give this gadget?" In terms of price, this gold camphor wood box is hundreds of times more expensive than this wooden hairpin, but to compare the value, this wooden hairpin is a priceless treasure, and the gold is not exchanged. It's obviously a burying word, but the tone is full of joy. Chu Mi took out the hairpin and said to Dongfang Du with a smile: "The wooden hairpin on my head can finally be replaced with a new one." ”
What she is holding on her head at the moment is the wooden hairpin that Dongfang Du gave her when she was a child. At the age of fifteen, her master gave her a silver hairpin, and her brother gave her a hosta, but she loved this wooden hairpin and only used this wooden hairpin to fix her hair.
The moment Dark Cloud saw the wooden hairpin in the box, he thought of the wooden hairpin that Chu Mi had put on/inserted/was on. Even women in the rivers and lakes rarely use wooden hairpins, and only poor families will use wooden hairpins to plug in/head. can look at Chu Mi's outfit, you know that she is not short of silver, but why do you like to use wooden hairpins?
It's not that I like to use wooden hairpins, but people who like to give wooden hairpins.
"Senior sister doesn't dislike it?" Dongfang Du asked with a smile.
Chu Mi turned the wooden hairpin in his hand, and just said, "This craft is much better than when I was a child." "Even the wooden hairpin when I was a child was not disgusted and inserted in my hair, how can I dislike the wooden hairpin I give now?" Xiaodu, can you help me put on this new hairpin? As he spoke, he turned his back to Dongfangdu.
The dark clouds on the side understood the origin of this wooden hairpin from these three words, the wooden hairpin inserted in Chu Mi's head was sent by Dongfangdu, and what was even more annoying was that this wooden hairpin was made by her! If you think about it carefully, your craftsmanship is much better than when you were a child! What does it mean? It shows that Dongfang Du will carve a wooden hairpin for her since she was a child!
Thinking about myself again, I just accepted a piece of Jue, although it is a thing of love, but no matter how I think about it, I feel sour in my heart. She really wants a hairpin!
Dongfang Du turned his head to look at the dark clouds, wanting to ask her what she meant, but seeing that she didn't turn her head, he didn't know if she was annoyed. When she was at a loss, Chu Mi turned her head to look at her and urged, "Xiaodu, why don't you do it yet?" ”
found that she was looking at the dark clouds, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "I don't know what Xiaodu sent to Yun'er?" ”
Hearing Chu Mi mention herself, Dark Cloud turned her head and was about to answer, but heard Dongfang Du reply: "I polished and carved a piece of Jue and gave it to her." Not only answered Chu Mi's question, but also secretly told the dark cloud, that Jueyu, she personally polished and carved. At the same time, it also made Chu Mi understand that the relationship between the two of them is like this jade, which has become a master.
I thought that Na Jue was made of jade craftsman polishing and carving, but I never thought that it was made by Dongfang Du himself. was already moved, but at this moment, thousands of feelings were surging in her heart, so that she couldn't speak, and could only look at Dongfang Du in a daze.
Dongfang Du smiled at the dark clouds, and the tenderness in her eyes could only be seen by her. Dark Cloud's heart calmed down instantly, and he smiled softly back.
Dongfang Du turned his head, "Senior sister, do you really want this wooden hairpin?" Although this hairpin is made of rosewood...... "The mouth said this, but his hand was raised, he took off the original wooden hairpin, took the wooden hairpin handed over by Chu Mi, and inserted it lightly, and inserted it into the hair, "Okay." ”
"Is it pretty?" Chu Mi raised his head and asked.
"It's good-looking, this wooden hairpin is not worthy of you." Even if Chu Mi changed her appearance, her disguised appearance was not inferior to anyone else in her heart. Chu Mi asked about the wooden hairpin, but she answered her appearance.
Banlan had been standing beside her all the time, but the three of them didn't seem to notice her cunzài, she was like air, just quietly watching their every move. didn't even give gifts. In the past four years, she has been accompanying Dongfang to her side, but as soon as she came back, her status seemed to have changed from a personal maid to an ordinary palace maid.
Dongfang Du didn't notice her, seeing the faint loss on her face, he beckoned with a smile, "Banlan, come here, this palace also has something for you." ”
As soon as he heard that he also had something to collect, the lost feeling on his face dissipated in an instant. "Your Highness, what do you have for your slaves?" As he spoke, he ran in front of her like a fawn, blinking his big eyes and looking at her expectantly.
Dark Cloud and Chu Mi both stared at Dongfang Du in unison, curious if she had something to give to Banlan. Banlan, in their eyes, is just a personal maid, to be precise, a personal maid who has accompanied Dongfang Du to disappear for four years. The things that the master gives to his subordinates are called rewards, but looking at Dongfangdu's expression, it is by no means a reward to his subordinates.
Dongfang Du took out a small square wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Banlan. Banlan opened it and saw that it was a pair of Hetian jasper silver earrings, hurriedly closed the box, covered her chest, raised her eyes, and stammered: "Your Highness, you ...... This...... Slave servants? Chu Mi and Dark Cloud couldn't understand Banlan's excitement, it was just a pair of ordinary jade earrings, why was they so excited that they were incoherent?
"Hongu saw that you liked it, so I bought it." On the way back, when passing by a small stall, Banlan just lifted the curtain, and happened to see this pair of jade earrings, because of the joy, I couldn't help but look at this pair of jade earrings twice, but because they were accompanied by Dongfangdu's side, and both of them were in the car, it was inconvenient to leave, so I had to give up. After the car was far away, he sighed quietly.
Banlan didn't expect that after looking at it twice and sighing quietly, it could be remembered by Dongfang Duji. This jade earring is ordinary, but it can be remembered in her heart, how can she not be excited? If it weren't for Chu Mi and Dark Cloud, she really wanted to pounce and hug Dongfangdu.
Seeing her look like she wanted to hug but didn't dare to hug, she raised her eyebrows, I haven't seen her for four years, and her ability to make girls happy seems to be getting better and better! Look, this Banlan is so excited that she can't wait to make a promise!
"Banlan, look at your happy appearance, why don't you go back to your own room and try this jade earring." Chu Mi said to Banlan with a smile, turned his head and glanced at Dongfangdu, a meaningful glance, Dongfang Du understood, and then said: "Banlan, there is nothing to do here in this palace, it is better to listen to my senior sister, go back and try this pair of jade earrings." ”
Because Banlan is Dongfangdu's personal maid, her room is next door to this dormitory, and it is enough to come and go for a while, "Your Highness, I ...... Slaves...... The slave will be back soon! "A man dies for a confidant, and a woman is a person who pleases herself. Looking at Banlan's appearance, she plans to go back to dress up, and then put on this pair of jade earrings to Yue Yiyue Dongfang.
"Don't rush back, on the first day of the first lunar month, this palace will allow you to rest for three days. On the third day of the new year, the crown prince and brother held a banquet in the East Palace, and you just had to stay by the side of the palace at that time. Dongfang Du said, thought about it, and said: "If you are free, you can also go out of the palace for a walk, maybe the sister in red is waiting for you." ”
was full of joy, but at the mention of Gu Hongyi, Banlan couldn't help but pout, "Don't go out of the palace!" The slave and maid stayed by His Highness's side and didn't leave for half a step! ”
"Well, this palace wants to accompany Senior Sister and Yun'er." The meaning of this could not be more obvious. This let her rest for three days, which is because she feels sorry for her and gives her a vacation, but she doesn't want her to be an eyesore by her side!
After Banlan left, Dongfang Du asked, "Senior sister, do you have something to say to me?" In fact, Banlan is not an outsider, she knows everything she does. But Chu Mi didn't want Banlan to listen, so she also followed Chu Mi's meaning and sent Banlan away. Thinking that Banlan had been following her side and serving her, he simply gave her a three-day vacation so that she could have a good rest.
Chu Mi turned his head to look at Dark Cloud, and Dark Cloud said, "You talk, I'll go out." He gestured and left.
Dongfang Du stretched out his hand and grabbed Dark Cloud's wrist and said to Chu Mi: "Senior sister, Yun'er is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, tell me, and she will know it too. The implication is that whether she stays or not, Dark Cloud will know what they say, so it's better to let her stay.
Without waiting for Chu Mi to speak, Dark Cloud said first: "No, let's talk, I'll go and guard the door." As he spoke, he pointed to his clothes, "Isn't this just wearing the clothes of a palace maid!" After speaking, he withdrew his hand from Dongfangdu's hand, smiled with relief, and turned to leave.
