Chapter 8 Dressing
"Since the eldest prince wants to ask, let's bring people over." Fang Zhengyun always addressed the eldest princess Jin Rou, not his wife. According to the regulations of the system, the concubine should indeed call the princess like this, but the etiquette is nothing more than human affection, if the two have a good relationship, and the young couple wants to change their name, no one will pursue it, obviously this is not the case between Jin Rou and Fang Zhengyun.
Recalling that year, Fang Zhengyun accepted Min Fanghua as a concubine not long after marrying the princess, according to the laws of the Lama Dynasty, concubines were strictly forbidden to take concubines, but Jin Rou took the initiative to let Min Fanghua enter the door, and naturally no one stopped her. It's just that Fang Zhengyun was ridiculed and ridiculed a lot because of this, but he was not satisfied with marrying the eldest princess who was both talented and beautiful, and he had to enjoy the blessings of all people! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all jealous, and the emperor had a black face for a long time, so the courtiers naturally knew which side to stand on. Since then, Fang Zhengyun would feel apprehensive every time he saw Jin Rou.
Who knew that it didn't take half a year to accept Min Fanghua, Fang Zhengyun was drunk once, and he actually slept with Jin Rou's personal maid Hua Meiqing in a daze, and finally Jin Rou also carried her aunt. Therefore, Fang Zhengyun felt even more guilty and had no shame to face Jin Rou. After a long time, the husband and wife have been estranged.
Hearing Fang Zhengyun say this, Min Fanghua felt very uncomfortable, being a concubine for a lifetime is like this, the wife wants to judge the daughter's maid, and she has to send people up happily, and she can't complain for half a word, otherwise she will despise the master's mother. Now she and Fang Zhengyun complained about one or two, hoping that he could mediate and not let their mother and daughter be slaughtered like this, but she didn't expect this to be the result. And now the maid is gone......
Min Fanghua could only continue: "But now that Yueji is gone, no one knows where she went, I'm afraid that the eldest princess will be too careful...... I think, I think our mother and daughter have something to do with this matter. ”
How can a girl disappear for no reason? And it's related to the overboard of the concubine! It seems that this is not an easy matter...... Thinking of this, Fang Zhengyun took the moon-white Hangzhou silk on the hanger and replaced it, and said as he walked out: "I'll go to the eldest princess's mansion and ask what's going on, you rest early, don't worry, the eldest princess won't wronged you." If it's too late, don't leave the door open. After speaking, he didn't look at Min Fanghua's expression, and left directly.
Aunt Min still wanted to stop it, but where did she catch up with the footsteps of Zhengyun above. This is really called stealing chickens and rice, I originally wanted to blow the wind on the pillow here in Fang Zhengyun first, don't look back, and the general is standing on Jin Rou's side...... But she didn't want to send the whole person over there, Aunt Min girlily pulled the lotus-colored silk handkerchief in her hand and changed its shape.
……
Aunt Min was in Ningchun Curie, and she couldn't sleep, Fang Zhengyun arrived at the door of Qifeng Garden, but he couldn't get in, and the second door of Qifeng Garden was locked early today. Seeing that Jin Rou didn't want to see herself, Fang Zhengyun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Remembering that she Jin Rou is the eldest princess of the palace, and she has the support of the emperor behind her, she is naturally not afraid of offending his husband, otherwise how can ordinary wives turn away their husbands? Fang Zhengyun had no choice but to return to the general's mansion.
Seeing that there was no movement outside the door, Biqin turned around and returned to the inner courtyard, quietly lifted the jade bead curtain, and saw Jin Rou leaning on the bed, her eyes closed, and the evening fog on the side was half leaning on the pedal, gently beating Jin Rou's legs with a beauty hammer, and waited quietly for a while, Jin Rou asked softly: "The general is back?" ”
"Yes, the general saw that the door was locked, lingered for a while and left, and did not call the door." Biqin quietly looked at Jin Rou's expression, and saw that it was not different from the past, so she lowered her hands and stood quietly, not daring to say more.
Who knew that Jin Rou's mind was not on this. Today, Zhou Wanshan took the guards to follow Mrs. Zhou to find Forsythia's cousin, but the person went to the empty house and returned in vain, and the other party did not leave any traces. Now I can only hand over this matter to the yamen, and say to the outside world that Forsythia's cousin stole valuable objects in the house, so that the yamen can pay attention to the movement and find someone as soon as possible...... I don't know when we will be able to make a decision. And Yueji's disappearance is a headless case, whose person is Yueji? Who is the person who wants to deal with the eldest princess's mansion?
……
Fang Ya Ge in Yahe Garden had just finished bathing, Bai Zhi and Zhuang Jie were twisting Fang Ya Ge's hair in the inner room, Fang Yage had already known the results of the investigation at this time, and now all the clues had been broken. Is Yueji also like forsythia, coerced? …… However, Wu's mother replied that this Yueji is an orphan, so what can others coerce her? What if she was a pawn planted by someone else in the General's Mansion? …… Yueji has been in the house since he was a child, and he has been hiding it for seven or eight years...... Thinking of this possibility, Fang Yage's hair stood on end. Fang Yage thought that she had already known the whole truth after being reborn once, but now she realized that she had only seen the tip of the iceberg!!
……
At the end of the day, Fang Yage woke up, yesterday tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and only fell asleep when he was young, but thinking that he would still enter the palace today to see the borrowed east wind, he didn't dare to snooze and call people to get up. Bai Zhi and Zhuang Jie heard the movement outside the door and hurriedly pushed the door in, and asked softly, "Is the county lord awake?" ”
Fang Yage snorted in a daze, and the two big maids, Bai Zhi and Zhuang Jie, led the two second-class maids Ai Ye and Licorice to work in the house. Bai Zhi took the mouthwash and the salt for cleaning her teeth in the hands of the little girl at the door, placed them one by one, and waited for Fang Yage to wash her face with water soaked in rose petals, and hurriedly wrung the fine white cotton cloth to wipe Fang Yage's face, Zhuang Jie couldn't intervene for a while and began to clean up the bed. The second-class girl Ai Ye extinguished last night's soothing incense and replaced it with an elegant jasmine fragrance, while licorice opened the dressing box and prepared to comb Fang Yage's hair.
Fang Yage was originally surrounded by two big maids Bai Zhi and Banxia, two second-class maids Forsythia and Mugwort Leaves, four little maids Licorice, Winter Milk, Qian'er, and Fu'er, and now Forsythia was punished, so Licorice took the position of Forsythia and Zhuang Jie again, so in Fang Yage's house were three big girls Bai Zhi, Banxia and Zhuang Jie, two second-class girls Licorice and Artemisia Ye, and three little girls Qian'er, Fu'er and Hollyhock. It's just that Banxia fell into the cold in order to save Fang Yage, and he was afraid that he would get sick, so he went back to his home to recuperate, so he didn't serve in front of Fang Yage for many days.
Fang Yage wore a middle coat, cleaned his face, took the wicker and dipped it in salt to clean his teeth, although now there are toothbrushes made of zuò with horsetails in the shops outside, but Fang Yage dislikes the roughness of horsetails, and still learns the ancient style, retaining the habit of using tender wicker in the previous dynasty, and only uses toothbrushes when there are no fresh wickers in autumn and winter. In fact, even in the capital, that is, the families of high-ranking families will use salt to clean their teeth, and ordinary people are very economical in eating salt, where are they willing to use it to clean their teeth, let alone snowflake salt, which is as white as snow.
After washing, Fang Yage sat in front of the dresser, the diorama in front of him was said to have been brought by the fleet on the other side of the South China Sea from a distant foreign country, it was a rare thing, it could illuminate people very clearly, but it was very fragile, so it was specially boxed for placement. Fang Yage gently picked a little potpourri with his fingernails, spread it evenly on the palm of his hand, and then applied it on his face in the mirror, Fang Yage's skin was already white and delicate, like a shelled egg, and it was even more tender after using the potpourri dew.
Bai Zhi saw it and praised: "It's rare that this potpourri is thin and transparent, not only is it not as greasy as the paste on the market, but it also has a natural floral fragrance, and the things in the palace are really different!" Jin Rou is very careful in eating and dressing the other party's Yage, such a hard-to-find potpourri Fang Yage is not only used to wipe his face, but also used to smear his body after bathing at night, so Fang Yage's whole body skin is simply blown.
Because he was still young, Fang Yage couldn't comb his complicated buns, and his long black and thick hair was only made into a double bun, and Ai Ye, who was in charge of combing his hair, complained while combing his hair: "The county lord has such thick hair, but he can only comb two double buns, it's a waste of this long hair like clouds and ink", with a look of regret, that expression ...... Let Fang Yage get goosebumps. Ai Ye's craftsmanship is very good, a few simple strokes, but the double bun combed out is chic and does not look rigid.
Ai Ye turned his head to open Fang Yage's jewelry cabinet...... Jin Rou specially ordered someone to create a Purple Sandalwood Dark Eight Immortals Standing Cabinet for her daughter, the cabinet is not high, it is divided into six layers, and all of it is Fang Yage's jewelry.
Ai Ye opened the cabinet, only to see that the bottom layer was placed with various materials of beads, headbands, hairpins, step shakes and other headdresses, and the upper two layers were various colors of earrings, necklaces, rings, Yingluo collars and bracelets...... All of these jewels are chic in shape, exquisite in workmanship, and the materials are even more precious, and the jewelry in the bottom three layers is also the most commonly used by Fang Yage.
There are three layers on the top of the cabinet, and there are complete sets of heads, including a set of 24 pieces of gold silk inlaid red treasure point green jade hollow double luan peony head, a set of 16 pieces of Nanzhu beeswax point cui head face, a set of white jade inlaid red coral Ruyi head face, and a set of 18 pieces of pure gold silk corolla head face. These four sets of head noodles were built by Jin Rou at a great price to ask the chief master of Duobaolou, the longan-sized Nanzhu, the peanut-sized ruby, and the whole Hetian white jade, which set is worth a lot of money, which is enviable, and Ai Ye takes care of it very carefully on weekdays, and she can't afford to lose it if she sells it. It's just that Fang Yage is still young, so it's hard to use it.
"County Lord, which one do you want to use today?" Ai Ye took out the bottom layer of hair ornaments and asked Fang Yage to choose, but he thought in his heart that according to Fang Yage's habits, most of them were to choose the double butterfly flower headbands stacked by Hetian Yu.
Fang Yage glanced at the hair ornament that Ai Ye was holding, pointed to a pair of beaded flowers with ruby strings of rice beads and said, "Just use rubies, I'm going to wear that big black camellia and butterfly carved silk jacket today, with rubies just right." ”
Fang Yage thought that he used to be dignified and elegant when he was young, and his wardrobe was full of moonlight, green and pink clothes, which always gave people a sense of disharmony when children wore adult clothes. In fact, at a young age, you should wear some bright and festive colors, so that you can be more energetic.
Ai Ye happily picked out this pair of bead flowers when she heard this, and pinned them to Fang Yage's black hair. He pulled out the drawer on the upper floor and picked out a pair of gold earrings inlaid with ruby flowers, the red gems on the golden flowers shimmered with a seductive luster, reflecting Fang Yage's face more bright and vivid.
