Chapter 220: Makeup

Qingyun opened her round eyes and looked at Mother Sun

You know, Mother Sun is the old lady's confidant, acting steadily, when did she ever snatch something from her master without knowing etiquette?

I'm afraid that if I entered the Hou Mansion with the old lady, it will be the first time.

She was so reckless, the old lady was also stunned, she looked at Mother Sun and said, "What's wrong with the golden hairpin?" ”

She also looked at the golden hairpin several times, but she didn't find anything wrong with the golden hairpin at all.

Mother Sun blushed, she leaned into the old lady's ear and muttered a few words, the old lady frowned tightly, and looked at Mother Sun twice.

Mother Sun nodded heavily.

The old lady stroked her forehead and said, "You go and pick a similar golden hairpin." ”

Mother Sun turned around and left.

When he came back, he had a golden hairpin in his hand, which was not as beautiful as the one just now, but thicker.

The old lady smiled, "You can use this to make makeup for the cousin." ”

Out of Chunhui Courtyard, Zhou Ziting was puzzled, "What can be the problem with that golden hairpin, grandmother didn't say anything, so she collected it directly." ”

She was about to ask, but the old lady didn't let her ask, so she waved her hand and said, "It's not too early, go to Shangshu Mansion to send makeup, if you want to stay in Shangshu Mansion to play, just play for a while." ”

Obviously, I don't want her to ask, the more this is the case, the more it seems that there is a problem with the golden hairpin, and it is a big problem.

Qingyun shook her head, she was also curious, Jin Mantang's jewelry is one of the best in Kyoto, very reputable, and the golden hairpin looks really good, there can be no problem.

It's just that the golden hairpin was accepted by the old lady, and they have no way of knowing even if they want to know.

The two of them walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate, Hou Ye rode back.

Qingyun and Zhou Ziting hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Hou Ye was in a good mood today, seeing the two of them, especially Qingyun, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, handed it to Qingyun and said, "This is the emperor to win back." The money that was rewarded to you was handed over to me by the Marquis of Zhennan when I went to court, and I handed it over to you on my behalf. ”

Look at that wad of money. Qingyun blinked, "So much? ”

Hou Ye smiled, "I counted, there are 35,000 taels, and Zhennan Hou 10,000 taels." 10,000 taels were offered to the prince, and the rest was given by King Ning. ”

Zhou Ziting calculated in her heart, raised her eyes and looked at Hou Ye and said, "No, before Gonggong Xu left, he also told his third cousin that the Hou of Zhennan lost 8,000 taels, the prince was 7,800 taels, and King Ning only lost 5,000 taels." ”

Zhennan Hou gave Qingyun two thousand taels more, which is nothing. It is even more impossible to give exactly seven thousand eight hundred taels for the prince, how can it be made up, but I didn't expect that it was not eight thousand taels, but ten thousand taels.

It's just King Ning......

Five thousand taels and fifteen thousand taels, this difference is not a small amount, dignified King Ning, can he make such a low-level mistake?

Hou Ye didn't know the amount yet, King Ning gave them money, and he was not embarrassed to accept it, you know. Individuals like the old prince and King Ning and Zhennanhou, let alone collect their money, even if they are usually sent, they can't send it to them.

Anyway, when he received the money, Hou Ye hesitated. If this money is not rewarded by the emperor, he will be very simple, he doesn't want a penny, as for Qingyun, he can pay it on his behalf.

But this money was rewarded by the emperor, and he made fun of a few people in public. asked them if they would repay the debt, if he didn't accept it, maybe the emperor would think that the three of them had bullied Qingyun and a girl.

Listening to Zhou Ziting's words, Hou Ye glanced at Qingyun twice, "Did King Ning really give an extra 10,000 taels?" ”

Qingyun didn't know how to answer, she knew why King Ning gave her more money, it was because she helped Princess Ning protect the baby, but last time, Lord Ruoyao had already sent her 20,000 taels, and this sent another 10,000 taels, which made her embarrassed.

Especially when everyone knew that he only had to pay 5,000 taels, but he gave 10,000 taels more, and she wanted to take it.

However, Hou Ye did not allow it.

No, Hou Ye didn't hesitate at all, and said, "King Ning's money, you can't overcharge, he gives an extra 10,000 taels, and I'll send it to him in a while." ”

Qingyun pursed her lips secretly, picked out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and handed it to Hou Ye.

Hou Ye took the silver ticket, didn't enter the house, just turned over and got on the horse, and left.

Zhou Ziting stood aside, covered her mouth and smiled, "Third cousin, when you gave the silver ticket to your uncle just now, your uncle saw that you were unwilling, and he shook his head. ”

Also, the 10,000 taels in hand flew like this, and no one felt comfortable.

Qingyun looked at the sky with her eyes, she pouted, not that she was reluctant to pay, but that Zhou Ziting was by her side, she couldn't explain the reason why King Ning paid more, and her father knew that she knew how to heal, and there was no need to hide it from him about helping Princess Ning protect the fetus.

Qingyun stuffed the silver ticket into her arms and said with a smile, "Let's go, go to Shangshu Mansion." ”

The Hou Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion were next to each other, not far away, so they didn't take the carriage and went directly.

Descending the steps, Zhou Ziting said with a smile, "You can pay 10,000 taels of silver for the banquet of the Hou Mansion, just now I thought that you would not collect cash tickets and directly pay tribute to your uncle." ”

Qingyun chuckled and honored her father, to be honest, the moment she saw the silver ticket, she did have this idea, but it was only for a moment.

The future of the Hou Mansion is uncertain, as long as she thinks that the eldest lady and her son will be cheaper in the end, she is 10,000 reluctant.

As long as her father loves her, there will be opportunities for filial piety in the future.

Qingyun didn't speak, and Zhou Ziting didn't ask again, in fact, needless to say, she also guessed what it was for.

If you want to change her to Qingyun, you will treat her like this to the eldest lady, in this Hou Mansion Gongzhong, she can move as much as she can, and it is best not to leave a copper plate to them.

The two walked in front, followed by the maid, and behind the maid there was a small maid.

Although the two provinces are close to each other, there are many people coming and going on this road, and there are three vendors selling on such a short road.

The two walked to the door of Shangshu Mansion and saw the ladies who came in a carriage to send makeup.

Seeing Qingyun, the girl said happily, "It's you, such a coincidence." ”

The girl was dressed in a pine leaf green soft silver light lily skirt, with a brocade belt around her waist, a delicate face, a hanging bun, a hollow gold hairpin, and bright eyes and a smile.

This girl is Feng Yuan, the eldest girl of the Ministry of Industry.

She got out of the carriage, and several people greeted each other, and Feng Yuan said, "Yesterday's banquet was really interesting, and after I went back, I dreamed about it at night." ”

can make the banquet so lively and interesting, even the palace can't do it, but Qingyun has done it.

Such a smart lady is envious and jealous, and at the same time, it is even more like a friend.

She smiled at each other, coupled with her thoughtful eyes, Qingyun naturally did not object to a few more friends, she smiled, "I didn't dream last night, I was worried that the banquet would not be done well, and I would be hit by the emperor's board, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, and I was relieved that the banquet was over." ”

Feng Yuan covered her mouth and smiled, "It's also a shame that you are bold enough to dare to send an invitation to the emperor, if it is me, even if you borrow me a few tiger guts, I don't dare." ”

Zhou Ziting also smiled, "When the third cousin said that she would send an invitation to the emperor, I thought she was joking, and I didn't take it to heart, but later my father-in-law came to pass the word, and I knew that she was serious, and I was scared into a cold sweat." ”

Yesterday, Zhou Ziting and Mu Wenxin presided over the banquet, articulate and generous.

Feng Yuan also has a good impression of her, no, the three of them chatted together.

The maid of Shangshu Mansion led them to the courtyard where Mu Qianran lived and gave her makeup.

At that time, there were seven or eight ladies in the courtyard, some talking and laughing, and the laughter was pleasant and spread far away.

Seeing Qingyun coming, Mu Qianran hurriedly greeted her, naturally grabbed Qingyun's hand, and complained affectionately, "You can be regarded as coming, they came to give me makeup, but they were all talking about yesterday's banquet, and they were praising you in and out of the words, which is to send me makeup, it is clear that they came here early to wait for you." ”

As she spoke, she deliberately had a hint of anger on her face.

She was suddenly so intimate, and she was very uncomfortable with the rhyme.

Come on, aren't we that acquainted?

Qingyun withdrew her hand without a trace, blessed herself to greet everyone, and then said with a smile, "Yesterday's banquet didn't disappoint everyone, and I was satisfied." ”

Some ladies smiled and said, "Miss Mu San is too modest, how lively the banquet was yesterday is obvious to everyone, even the emperor is full of praise." ”

"That's right, my cheeks hurt when I laughed, and I put ice cubes on it for a while when I went back......."

As she spoke, someone interrupted her and said with a smile, "Are you blaming Miss Mu for holding a banquet too interesting?" ”

The girl hurriedly shook her head, for fear of being misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I don't mean that, I wish the Hou Mansion would hold another banquet, even if I laugh and cramp, I'm happy." ”

A crowd of people was laughing.

They all like to participate in banquets, but the general banquet is just to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, talk about gossip and Kyoto's new fashionable clothes and jewelry, how can it be as interesting as yesterday, except for the tug-of-war, other games are not heard of by them.

"Especially the game of drawing the king's lot.,I almost laughed at the intestines robbed.,After returning home,I modified the game.,And my father and my brother played for a while.,I and my mother also cheated.,Let the two of them sleep.,The two of them really fell asleep.,To change to the past.,Don't make your mother lose her temper.,How can they be well-behaved."

"That is, the game of drawing the king lot is the most interesting, but the dark cuisine is the most ruthless, the loss of the king of Yijun loves face, and he can't stand the two sentences of the lord of Ruoyao, so he gnawed, but he didn't expect it to be made of flour in the end, I really thought of it, it's bad, I let the kitchen make a plate this morning, and eat it in front of my little sister, but she was scared and said I was crazy, and pulled my mother to find me a doctor, but my mother scolded me fiercely."

A few people, you and I, laughing lively.

Qingyun knew that yesterday's banquet had spread all over Kyoto.

Those games are all the rage.

Talking and talking, there are always foodies who are worried about eating, no, he looked at Qingyun with a red face and said, "The food at the banquet yesterday was also very exquisite, the roast duck was fragrant but not greasy, and the cake was even more aftertaste, we haven't eaten these before."
