As she was talking, she suddenly heard a long laugh, and Princess Yongan said, "...... I often hear people say that the pavilions and water pavilions in the Cuijin Garden, the lotus pond rockery, are known as the 'Little Eight Scenes' of the Beijing Division, anyway, it will take a while for the stage to be set up, why don't the aunts let the girls go to the garden to see and see together, so as not to be detained here and uncomfortable. ”

Mrs. Xiao said: "It's still the princess who thinks thoughtfully, and dares to disobey her fate!" ”

Princess Yongan said, "Who is going with me?" Immediately a crowd of noble ladies gathered around him in high spirits. Of course, the three sisters of the Xiao family and Meng Ru were the first to respond.

Yongan looked at Yinyue: "Is the imperial sister interested in walking with me?" ”

Yinyue smiled: "The imperial sister has a life, how dare I disobey!" ”

Several girls of the Yang family looked at the three wives, and the eldest lady waved her hand: "You guys go too, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't bump into the nobles!" ”

Yongan stepped forward and took Yinyue's arm and took the lead out of the courtyard. Later, the ladies followed out, leaving the wives chatting with melon seeds in the yard, waiting to watch the show.

Pavilions, pavilions, corridors and loops. Cuijin Garden is really full of scenery, all the noble ladies and stars around the two princesses like the moon, talking and laughing, while visiting the garden while appreciating the scenery in the garden, very happy.

Miss Lin, the daughter of a member of the Ministry of Labor, asked, "Her Royal Highness Princess Yong'an, is your dress really made of Cuiyun Qiu?" ”

Xiao Shi girl Yun Qian sneered and said, "Cousin wears it out, so is there still a fake?" Miss Lin was immediately stabbed by her and her face turned red, but Xiao Yunqian added: "It's true, such a precious material, it's not our Xiao family's fault, and it's difficult to see it when you are idlers." After that, he glanced at the daughters of the Yang family intentionally or unintentionally. Princess Yong'an is proud.

Zheng Peilan, the granddaughter of Zheng Shenjun, the governor of the Five Armies, said: "I see that Sister Yunqian's clothes are also excellent, the material is not like ordinary goods, what kind of fabric is your clothes made of?" "Zheng Senjun is an old subordinate of Jinghai Hou, and Zheng Peilan naturally wants to help Miss Xiao Shi speak.

All eyes were focused on Xiao Yunqian at once.

Xiao Yunqian had already been praised by others for her clothes, and when she heard this, her face immediately lit up, and she said triumphantly: "I'm just a Western cloth, and I can't compare to my cousin Cuiyunqiu." "Da Chu prohibits the sea all the year round, prohibits overseas trade, and foreign fabrics are extremely rare, generally as soon as they appear, they are bought by high-ranking officials and nobles at sky-high prices, although their preciousness may not be comparable to Cuiyun Qiu, but the difference is not too far.

Someone asked, "Western cloth?" Where is it produced? ”

Xiao Yunqian said with a smile: "I heard our housekeeper say that this kind of fabric is from Siam!" That's really a long way! ”

"Siam?" Everyone took a breath, "What a far realm is that!" "Actually, everyone doesn't know where Siam is.

"It's nothing!" Xiao Yunqian said proudly: "We don't only have Siamese foreign cloth at home," she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Yunrui: "The clothes of the ninth sister are shipped from the Wa country," pointing at Xiao Yunhui and said: "The clothes of the twelve sisters are shipped from the country of Zhenla!" He pointed at Meng Ru and said, "My cousin's clothes and fabrics were shipped from Goryeo." It's all foreign cloth! ”

When everyone took a closer look, the clothes of the sisters of the Xiao family were really different from the general domestic clothes, just looking at the outside, they knew that these exotic fabrics were high-quality, and they were never under the clothes produced in Susong and Hangjia. And it is one person, one person, not heavy, maybe the young ladies in the field can occasionally get one or two Western cloths, but like the Xiao family, it is unique, this is not only rich, but also shows the power of the Xiao family.

For a while, everyone looked at the sisters of the Xiao family, and their eyes became more humble.

Yulan heard that his heart moved, forbidding the sea is the national policy of Great Chu, since the beginning of the previous dynasty, there have been Japanese robbers on the sea from time to time, not only killing people and goods at sea, but even landing in coastal cities, killing and robbing all evil. In recent years, it has intensified and caused great harm. Soon after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he issued an edict to impose an extremely strict sea ban. Those who dare to commit offenses will be executed in Lingchi, and their families will all be exiled for 3,000 li.

It's just that the profits of overseas trade are too coveted, so naturally some people ignore the laws of the country and risk killing their heads to carry out smuggling trade. Seeing that the Xiao family casually took out such precious fabrics today, and had long heard that the Xiao family was rich and rivaled the country, I am afraid that this hot family is indispensable for the private trade.

It's a forbidden thing!

At this time, I heard Princess Yong'an smile proudly: "These are nothing! My mother's concubine made two bird skirts and knitted them with bird feathers. It is regarded as one color in the front, one color in the side, one color in the middle of the day, and one color in the shadow. And the appearance of a hundred birds can be seen, that is the real treasure. ”

It is said that in order to make a bird skirt for the imperial concubine, the emperor now uses the national power to send troops to Lingnan to hunt birds, and many birds are extinct, causing an ecological disaster.

Everyone was fascinated by it, and Miss Yuxia was also full of heat, and her mind to marry into the East Palace became more determined for a while.

Yulan remembered that day in the Songfeng Study, listened to the old lady and Ye Minchun discuss political affairs, and talked about the years of war, the household Taicang silver could not make ends meet, and the border army could not even pay the military salary, but this social moth only knew that it was more than broad to show off its wealth here!

Unfortunately, she's one of the moths!

Yulan was a little excited for a while, so he slowly fell behind a few steps and reached the back of the team. I saw a Jinyi guard commander just now, and after Ma Yunniang, who was a little shy, left, she smiled at her when she saw Yulan. "Sister of the Yang family!"

Yulan smiled and nodded, "Sister Ma is good!" She was still very interested in Ma Yunniang, or she was still very interested in Ma Yunniang's father, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so she grabbed Ma Yunniang and talked.

At first, Yun Niang was still a little twisted, but later saw that Yulan was kind and gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, and gradually relaxed. They were all about the same age, and after a few words, the atmosphere became harmonious.

Once Yun Niang let go, she was still quite talkative. She glanced ahead and said in a low voice, "Aren't you interested in the 'Hundred Bird Skirt'?" At this time, all the nobles surrounded Princess Yong'an, asking all the details of the "Hundred Bird Skirt" in great detail, and even Yuxia Yufei was crowded there.

Yulan shook his head, Da Chu is now abrupt outside, Jurchen is eyeing the tiger, there is a country in the Shu Han kingdom inside, the great unification is far away, but the officials and nobles of the north and south are drunk and dreaming all day long, chasing the flashy, Yulan suddenly remembered a poem for the occasion, and read: "Outside the mountain, the Qingshan Building, the West Lake singing and dancing when will it be closed, the warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou!" ”

Yun Niang was stunned when she heard it, "Good poetry, good poetry!" Why have I never heard such a good poem, did you make it yourself? Oops, it's worthy of being the granddaughter of Shoufu, sister, you are really talented! ”

Yun Niang looked at Yulan with a look of adoration. Yulan then remembered that there was no Great Song Dynasty in this era, and of course there was no such poem "Title Lin'an Residence", which was widely recited in later generations.

Yulan coughed twice in embarrassment: "This poem is what I saw in my book." ”

Yun Niang is worthy of being the daughter of the intelligence chief, and she has a very inquiring spirit: "Which book has I seen such a good poem, why have I never read it!" ”

Yulan was full of black lines, "This ...... Isn't that important? The key is the meaning of the poem! ”

Yun Niang nodded understandingly, leaned close to Yulan's ear and said understandingly: "I know that you are afraid that your sisters will be jealous of you!" I'm not going to tell anyone! ”

Yulan had no choice but to nod helplessly! Yun Niang looked at Yulan with a little more sympathy in her eyes.

After such a small episode, the two of them are more familiar with each other. Yun Niang even took the initiative to take her hand. "My father envies talented scholars, he himself is a big old man, but he likes to chew words and pretend to be elegant all day long, and the envoys of the north and south want to give him gifts, and he asks people to send him ancient books." Yun Niang smiled and continued, "...... Since I was four years old, he asked a female gentleman to teach me how to write poetry and paint, but I just don't like to read, and after studying poetry for many years, I have never written a good poem...... In fact, I like embroidery very much, when my husband taught me to read poetry, I secretly embroidered underneath, and my father was so angry that he couldn't do it......"

"And then?"

"Later, I begged my father, and he still found a good embroidery lady in Xianyun Pavilion to teach me embroidery." As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled, her face was full of joy when she talked about her father, obviously the relationship between father and daughter was excellent, and Yulan was very jealous.

"I'm tired of embroidery! It's boring to sit there! ”

Yun Niang also smiled, "The ruler is long, and the inch is short!" ”

She looked at Yulan, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Princess Yanqing is your aunt, Princess Yinyue is your cousin, your two families have a close relationship, right?" Do you see princesses often? ”

Yulan said casually: "Although our two families are close relatives, we don't usually have too many contacts. ”

Yun Niang couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on her face. "Then today, in addition to Princess Yinyue, everyone else in the Yanqing County King's family is also here, right?"

Yulan is a little strange, why do you care about the Yanqing County Palace? "It seems that Cousin Yinyue is here alone, and the Yanqing Royal Mansion has never made much friends with these ministers of the dynasty." Thinking that Ye Minchun happened to be on an errand in Jinyi now, Yulan realized.

"Oh!" Yun Niang's mood was obviously depressed. The child's mood was undoubtedly revealed for a while.

Yulan suddenly said, "When did you meet Cousin Min Chun?" ”

"He came to my house that day to discuss things with my father, and I was behind the screen...... Ah, what do you say! Yun Niang was shocked to be fooled, her face was flushed with shame, she hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves, stomped her feet and said, "I won't pay attention to you anymore!" ”

Yulan leaned back with a smile, leaned up and put her ear and said, "Sister, didn't you fall in love with my cousin Minchun?" ”

Yun Niang was so anxious that she jumped to her feet: "You still say, you still say!" ”

Yulan saw that she was really anxious, and hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore to the sky: "Good sister, don't worry, I will not spread this matter today!" ”

Yun Niang looked at her: "Really? Good sister, you have to talk and count! ”

Yulan swore a curse: "God knows, you know and I know!" ”

A large group of girls in front of them were far away from them, and they didn't speak loudly, so Yun Niang was relieved.

Somehow, Yulan saw Yun Niang's little shy appearance, and always wanted to tease her, so she came up and said: "My cousin is so good-looking, it's normal for you to like him!" ”

Who knew that Yun Niang was not shy this time, but looked at her thoughtfully, "You won't ...... too"

Yulan shook his hands wildly, and hurriedly confessed: "Absolutely not!" We're just pure brother and sister. ”

Yun Niang made her laugh, "You talk so interestingly!" ”

Speaking of this, Yun Niang asked shyly: "Can you and Ye Gongzi meet often?" ”

"I've seen it twice this year!" Yulan picked and chose the situation of his meeting with Ye Minchun, and deleted all the places where he was in the limelight.

Ma Yunniang listened very seriously, her eyes were full of envy, and she couldn't wait for herself and Yulan to change identities. Yulan asked, "Do you like cousin things, have you told your uncle and aunt?" ”

Yun Niang said gloomily: "How dare I say such a thing?" Yulan thinks about it, girls in this era have no say in their own marriage, and if you are involved in your marriage, you will be laughed out of your big teeth.

She wanted to give Yun Niang an idea and ask her to beg her father. It is obvious that the relationship between their father and daughter is good, and maybe Commander Ma will run for her for the happiness of his daughter.

It's just that Commander Ma's identity is special, and Ma Yunniang's appearance is not first-class, even if this matter can be promoted, I am afraid that it is mostly political factors, so what's the point of marriage?

When Yulan thought of this, she was upset and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Ma Yunniang sighed leisurely, and her tone was full of sadness: "I heard that Princess Yanqing fell in love with the third girl from the Jiangxia Hou Mansion, and she will start discussing marriage soon!" I don't know if it can be done? ”

Yulan was stunned when she heard this, thinking of her cousin who was as gentle as jade, and the boat model he gave her, and remembering that he was about to marry another woman as his wife, and she didn't know what kind of mood she was in.
