Chapter 7: Gifts
Su Meng sat down, squinted her eyes, looked at the handkerchief presented in front of her, and picked it up in front of her with her index finger.
The blue-purple orchid is lifelike, the stitches are fine, and one of the orchid leaves stretches half of the surface, which is the Suzhou embroidery is full of vain, simple and elegant.
Su Meng glanced at the old aunt coldly, and saw that she had changed into the same cyan robe as Aunt Rong today, and only a Wufu silver hairpin was decorated on the fallen horse bun, and she was dressed extremely plainly.
Look at those red eyes, this veil was obviously made overnight.
It is said that such a quality is considered to be middle and upper-class, but now that Su Meng is in a bad mood, how can she praise her?
"The old aunt's craftsmanship is nothing more than this, the palace doesn't like orchids, so the old aunt will keep this veil for herself!" Su Meng threw the handkerchief onto the tray and said lightly.
The old aunt blushed when she came, don't you like it? So what's going on with that silver-blue auspicious orchid on your head?
Seeing that the old aunt was silent, Aunt Rong on the side spoke: "The princess is not grateful for the reward?" That's how the queen teaches the rules? ”
Slapped people in the face, mentioning the queen, the old aunt was suddenly anxious, she was annoyed and ashamed, and forgot the rules for a while, but she didn't want this Aunt Rong to grab the handle and teach her, and she also brought the queen mother.
"The old slave thanked the princess for the reward." The old aunt bowed to the blessing, but she didn't dare to say more, if she refuted two sentences, she should say that she had contradicted it.
Seeing the old aunt's appearance of keeping to herself, Su Meng waved her hand, and the old aunt retreated as if she had been amnestied. As for the handkerchief, she naturally took it away.
After the old aunt left, Su Meng felt a lot better.
"Are all the gifts for the eldest sister ready?" Su Meng looked up and smiled at Aunt Rong.
For the princess who is happy and angry, Aunt Rong has long been commonplace, and she was angry just now, but at this moment, she is smiling and welcome, she is purely baby-faced, and she will change when she says it.
Aunt Rong held a three-foot-long Fushou pattern brocade box, and said with a smile: "It's ready, it's a painting, it's "Ink Bamboo After the Rain in Yinshan Mountain" painted by Murong Jue, the champion of Jinke Wenwu." ”
"Mozhu?" Su Meng raised her eyes, looked at the brocade box with some excitement, and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Su Meng likes bamboo, and the emperor naturally knew that he deliberately left it for Su Meng when he got this painting, but he had never seen it in the warehouse.
The three-foot vertical painting is unfolded, a rich ink fragrance comes, the bamboo pole is slightly oblique and proud, the ink rhyme is appropriate, the bamboo leaves are faint, or hanging, or up, and the pieces are reflected in the interest.
A bright moon, light ink sprinkled, pieces of silk.
"Such a good painting, I'll keep it, and choose other ones for the eldest sister." The more Su Meng looked at it, the more she liked it, and ordered someone to take it closer and observe and appreciate it carefully.
Aunt Rong made a difficulty, this gift is not expensive or cheap, and it is elegant and interesting, but where can I choose a satisfactory Lilly for a while.
Su Meng held her chin and thought about it, and then said, "Take a set of four treasures of the study that my father gave me this autumn, pack it and give it to the eldest sister as a gift." ”
"Okay." Aunt Rong thought about it, and remembered that it was this autumn when the princess was learning to paint, and the emperor gave the princess the flying dragon bluestone inkstone, the double dragon to grab the pearl ink, the bamboo jade lake pen and the best rice paper for tribute.
The princess has always loved the flying dragon bluestone inkstone, and at this time she is willing to give it to the eldest princess?
Seeing that Su Meng had no intention of repenting, she turned around and went to the study to look for it.
"Hang this painting in the study, and when my aunt retrieves the four treasures of the study, I will go to the eldest sister." Su Meng stood up and wanted to stretch, but had to give up because of the heavy clothes.
"I hate these messy days the most, it's not interesting to get together, it's just those things to talk about, it's better to practice calligraphy and play the guqin in my Yulin Pavilion." Su Meng shook the heavy headdress on her head unhappily, and secretly hated the heavy clothes on her body.
"Don't move, princess, if the hair ornament is messed up, you will have to suffer again!" Hongyu hurriedly held Su Meng's moving hand, preventing her from touching the hairpin on her head and shaking her steps.
Su Meng pouted, snorted, and stopped making trouble.
At this time, a little girl ran in and said crisply: "Back to the princess, the sedan chair is ready." ”
"Go see Aunt Rong." Su Meng said to Hongyu, pushed Hongyu out, and retracted his hand.
"Take care of the princess, don't let her mess around." Ruby instructed the green calyx.
Bah! Who messed around! Or when I was a three-year-old? Su Meng glared at Hongyu angrily, only to see Hongyu stick out her tongue and turn around and run to the study.
After a while, Aunt Rong walked in holding rice paper, and Hongyu walked in with a brocade box filled with a Chengni inkstone brush and ink strips.
"Back to the princess, it's been cleaned up." Aunt Rong replied.
Su Meng put on a purple cloak of the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang, left the Yulin Pavilion with Aunt Rong, Hongyu and Lamei, got on the sedan chair, and ran all the way to the Jade Pavilion of the eldest princess.
At this time, the Yushu Pavilion is particularly lively, the sedan chairs are lined up, that is, the door to enter and exit is open, and you need to queue up to enter.
When a woman in Jingguo is fifteen years old, she knots her hair with a flute, which is to tie it, that is, to reach the age of marriage. And the eldest princess Su Yun is fifteen years old today.
Looking at the noise in front of her, Su Meng's head was big for a while, can she go back and sleep for a while? Is it good to pretend to be sick?
It's a pity, that is, think about it, every time you pretend to be sick, you can be recognized, and if you play too much, it will naturally be boring.
"The third princess has arrived!" The eunuch with the voice of a male duck stood on the gate, and his eyes were dripping to look at the visitors from all sides, so that he could sing the harmony in time, so as not to snub the distinguished guests.
"Meet the Third Princess!"
A large number of people knelt down in an uproar, and at a glance, most of them were women, all dressed up with flowers and branches, beautiful and refined, Su Meng got down from the sedan chair and said lightly: "Get up." ”
Ignoring this group of people, Su Meng walked straight into the Jade Pavilion.
The scenery of Yushu Pavilion is peculiar, the plum blossoms are splendid, the red dots are dotted, the fragrance of flowers is elegant, it is a good place to live in winter.
Along the way, there were people greeting her, and Su Meng didn't bother to reply, when she walked into the main hall, there were already many people sitting in the hall.
"Sister Ann." Su Meng bowed slightly.
Seeing Su Meng come in, except for the eldest princess Su Yun who was sitting on the main seat, including the second princess Su Qian, they all stood up, and after Su Meng saluted, they all saluted and said, "I've seen the third princess." ”
"You don't have to be polite, just sit down and talk." Su Meng raised her hand to support her, and then sat in the other main seat beside Su Yun, and Su Qian was sitting in this position just now.
Although the eldest and youngest are orderly, the status of the second princess's biological mother is incomparable with that of the eldest princess and the third princess.
Who was present to be able to enter the main hall and accompany the princess was not a noble girl of the dynasty, with a noble status, Su Meng would naturally not be as cold as the group of people outside.
"What were you talking about just now, smiling so happily." Su Meng saw everyone sitting down, so she smiled.
"It's nothing, I just heard that the third princess pushed the eldest princess off the lotus pond a few days ago, is this true?" A girl with an average appearance, but a very stupid and innocent look, looked at Su Meng and asked.
You're really going to die! Su Meng raised her eyebrows, and her heart was full of anger.
