Three days later, the temple people from Childe's Mansion came to the general early. This time, in addition to handing me a blue lacquer box, he also sent a message for Gongzili, to the effect that he wanted me to dress up for tonight's feast.

I cautiously opened the lacquer box, which contained a set of women's clothes and some accessories. My heart warmed, and I thought to myself, Gongzili is really a careful and considerate person, and this gift really saved me a lot of trouble.

According to the etiquette system, the clothing of the nobles must be consistent with their status and occasion from the style, texture, and color to what kind of crown they wear, what kind of shoes they wear, and what kind of jade jewelry they wear. Otherwise, the lighter ones will be ridiculed by everyone, and the heavier ones will even lose their lives because of it.

Although Wu Feng claimed to be a daughter of the Wu clan, he never took me to public sacrifices, Yan Jian, or banquets. Therefore, the relevant clothing and accessories were naturally not prepared. On weekdays, I dress up to my liking, mainly for comfort and convenience.

The women's clothes sent by Gongzili this time are a set of regular clothes used by the women of the scholar clan to go to the banquet, with a wide brocade scarlet collar, a blue and blue cloud pattern curved deep robe, and the center of the silk belt around the waist is inlaid with two pieces of jade with blue engraved cloud and thunder patterns.

When Yao Nu saw this dress, she praised it for its beauty and exquisiteness, dignified and generous. But I was worried that such a bright color would cause me unnecessary trouble.

"If the noble lady wears this dress, I am afraid that all the ladies who will go to the banquet tonight will lose their color." Yao Nu knelt behind me with a comb grate and combed my hair, "All these years, the head of the family really shouldn't hide the noble girl in the mansion. Otherwise, the reputation of Wu's Ashi would have spread all over Yongcheng and out of the Qin State. ”

"No matter how beautiful you are, can you be more beautiful than that Zheng Nu Lanji? I heard that a few days ago, the men of the whole Yongcheng were fascinated by her. At the prince's banquet today, even I want to see her a few more times! As I spoke, I glanced at the Yao girl behind me through the bronze mirror, and saw that her eyes were slightly stagnant when she heard Lan Ji's name, and her face was also sad.

"How can a noble girl compare to a Maiko. Although the maid has never seen Lan Ji, the noble girl is the most beautiful woman the maid has ever seen. Yao Nu regained her expression and said softly.

Judging by her reaction just now, I am afraid that she knew that her sweetheart was having an affair with Lan Ji. Could it be that she wants to die for a negative person? I turned around and grabbed Yao Nu's hand, I couldn't hold back the resentment in my heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Yao Nu, are you worth it?" ”

Yao Nu was startled and looked at me with wide eyes.

I wanted to mention her, but I couldn't expose her plans for tonight, so I could only pretend to be shy: "I know you've been waiting for someone." Perhaps, you have already started waiting when you were still a Jin kokaki. ”

"How did the lady know?" Yao Nu asked.

"I saw it when you sang that day. Can you tell me about the person in you? As I spoke, I picked up the hollow gorse hair ring from Gongzi Li and handed it to Yao Nu.

Yao Nu didn't answer me, but just tied up my long hair, tied it under my shoulders with a hair ring, and then took out her own grooming lacquer from behind her, and said, "Your lady's skin is like clotted fat, and her eyebrows are picturesque, this pink delicacy can be saved." Just add a little more lipstick. ”

"Yao girl......" I looked at her and stopped talking.

Yao Nu dipped her fingertips in some lipstick made of madder flower juice, gently wiped it on my lips, and said softly: "The noble girl asked like this, but there is someone who pleases you?" ”

I nodded, and she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and gradually fell into the memory: "When I met him, I was the current age of the noble girl. On that day, I had a great accident at the banquet of the Jin Guozhi clan, and I thought that my life would be short, so I ran to the Hushui River to cry. Unexpectedly, I met a few drunken rangers who were teasing me. Under the mixture of grief and anger for a while, he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water. ”

"And then?"

"Later, he jumped from a peach tree by the river and saved me." Yao Nu said with a smile.

"If you can repel a few rangers, your sweetheart must be a warrior with superb martial arts."

Yao Nu's eyes were confused, and she lowered her head and shyly sighed: "Where was he the opponent of those people back then, although he had some strength, he also took a lot of heavy punches." Later, someone heard the noise and rushed over, which scared away the drunken people. ”

"Then his martial arts have grown a little bit today? How else can I protect you? ”

"His current swordsmanship is hard to match. But what made me fall in love was the one who fought hard to save me. ”

I remembered the intimacy between the beast-faced man and Lan Ji after the Yao girl left that day, and I was depressed: "You have been away from the Jin Kingdom for a long time, right?" After so many years, your original intention has not changed, how do you know that that person is also the same as you? Since he was a child, Ah Shi has only seen the maids in the house light the lamps late at night to wipe away their tears, but he has never seen any guards and servants shed tears for women. Your lover is such a hero, I am afraid that at this moment, I am afraid that I have already forgotten you. After saying that, I secretly added in my heart, he is good to you now, just to take advantage of you!

"Whether I remember or forget, whether it's true or fake, I swore to the gods under the peach tree on the bank of the Hushui River. In this life, as long as he is willing to look at me, my life is his. ”

How stupid the women in the world are, I'm afraid I can't persuade her to turn back today.

"True love is precious, and Ah Shi also hopes that one day she can understand her sister's infatuation. Okay, you quickly send someone outside the gate to see if Childe's carriage has arrived? ”

"No!" The Yao girl retreated to the door and ordered the little maid to go to the gate and guard it.

I stood up, straightened my dress, walked to the door, and handed Yao Nu's dressing to her: "Keep it well, if you have the opportunity to see him again in the future, you must let him understand that you are the most cherished woman in the world." I'm leaving. ”

I lifted my skirt and walked slowly down the steps. At this moment, how I wish she would stop me and tell me everything frankly.

But she didn't.

When I walked out, I faintly heard an inaudible sigh from Yao Nu in my ears.

I felt a pain in my heart and quickened my pace and ran to the front room.

This night is not destined to be peaceful.
