Chapter 53: First Snow
I have always known that Gu Tianba's skin is not ugly, I used to look at the bronze mirror every day, although I couldn't see it really, but except for the skin being whiter, the general outline and facial features have not changed, I have always felt that my current appearance is similar to Chaolu, or a little worse than her. Otherwise, how could others always recognize me in women's clothing as Chaolu.
A few days ago, I complained that the bronze mirror couldn't see people, so Xiaoye brought me a crystal mirror. I realized that my face had become so good-looking. The skin with a pearl-like luster, the eyes as bright as the stars in the night sky, the long and thin eyelashes as soft as a feather fan, the pretty nose, and the cherry red lips as delicate as flower petals are stunning at first glance, and then every detail is exquisite and beautiful. Compared with before, it doesn't seem to be much different, but it's like being reborn and completely changing as a person.
Now that I think about it, fortunately, when I met Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan that day, I wore heavy makeup, and the heavy makeup covered up the difference between me and Chaolu in details, the same outline, similar facial features, in the case that both of them were heavy makeup, there was indeed not much difference. But without makeup, one is delicate and the other is beautiful, and this difference can be seen by anyone with long eyes.
Early in the morning, I opened the door and found that it was already white outside, and it was snowing! On the day of the first snow in Tianyuguo, there is no need to go to court.
The day of the prince's wedding was set at the beginning of the lunar month. These days, Mu Yu has been embroidering wedding dresses, I said that this thing should be done by the embroidery lady of the Shangyi Bureau, but she didn't agree at all, saying that the bride will only be happy in this life if she wears a wedding dress embroidered by herself.
I said that even if she didn't wear a wedding dress, as long as I was there, I wouldn't let her suffer a little grievance, she just laughed, but didn't stop what she was doing.
I watched her flying needle and thread for a while, and was bored, when I saw Manager Xu push the door in, still holding a big red cloak in his hand.
Without waiting for Manager Xu to speak, I had already put on my cloak and said to Mu Yu: "I'm going out to play!" And he stepped out of the room.
As soon as I got out of the palace, there was a figure standing in the snow with the same fiery red, smiling, "Let's go build a snowman!" ”
"It's boring for children to play with!"
Only then did I realize that the snowflakes in the sky seemed to have eyes, and none of them fell on Xiao Ye's body, and if I looked closely, it was the snowflakes that fell on Xiao Ye's cloak and slid down quickly. Looking at myself again, the snowflakes seemed to be avoiding me and did not stay on me. It is such a good fox fur cloak as soon as I shoot it, I can't help but sigh, it is really a blessing to have a friend who is stupid and has a lot of money.
"Let's get out of the palace," I said to Xiao Ye, "Mo Qian sent all the dowry I ordered to Hu Yanzhuo a few days ago, and I haven't had time to see it yet!" ”
"What a woman!" Xiao Ye pouted: "This Hu Yanzhuo hasn't come back from the Northern Desert yet, you just run to him every day, if he really comes back, don't you want to live with him!" ”
"Of course! We said yes, when he came back from the Northern Desert, he proposed to me. Now that my dowry has been sent to him, it is not a matter of time before I live there! "Count the days, Hu Yanzhuo will be back soon!
Because of the snow, there are very few pedestrians on the streets, and many shops on the streets are closed. I heard a shout for the sale of fried corn with sugar, so I asked Xiao Ye to help me buy it, and I went to a cloth shop on the side of the road.
After a walk, I saw that embroidery was also sold here, so I took a look at it more, a red hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water was very beautiful, and the guy said that this cost ten taels of silver. I went to touch the money bag, and then I thought of going out with Xiao Ye, I didn't have a money bag with me at all, but he knew that I had entered this store, and he would definitely come back here to find me after buying the corn, so he waited for him to come and pay the bill.
Just as I looked up at the door to see if Xiao Ye had returned, a vast group of people stopped at the door of Buzhuang. Then, from the carriage stepped down a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, the girl was dressed in luxurious clothes, I thought it was a young lady, but I didn't want to, she lifted the curtain, and helped a fiery figure down from the carriage.
With that snow-white face, long eyebrows slanted into the sideburns, and red lips dripping with blood, it's not Lin Muhan who I hate the most! At this time, Lin Muhan also saw me, at this time, I was wrapped in a red cloak, although I did not comb it into a woman's hairstyle, but the long hair tied on the top of my head with a gorgeous ribbon is really far-fetched to say that it is a man's dress.
I also said just now that I only have similar contours to Chaolu, and I will wear Bang without heavy makeup, but now it's okay, I actually have a straight contact with Lin Muhan.
And this is not the worst, then, a man with a scar lying from his temple to his cheekbone, wearing a black fox fur, stood next to Lin Muhan.
It's over, although Chaolu returned to the palace this time, most of them appeared with heavy makeup, but it is difficult to guarantee that Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan have never seen Chaolu without makeup, and I have no face every day, how could Su Chonghua, who was never absent from the early dynasty, not recognize me.
It seems that it won't work anymore with Chaolu's identity, but the way I look now, even when the guys from this cloth shop come to say hello, they don't hesitate to call me a girl, plus I am holding a red hijab in my hand that is only used by women when they get married, and I insist that I am a man, will Su Chonghua believe it?
At this time, Su Chonghua's eyes were looking at me, as if he was making a final confirmation.
In a hurry, I lowered my eyes, made a shy posture of my daughter's house, and weakly asked the cloth shop guy next to me: "Little brother, ten taels of silver is too expensive!" Five or two lines? "I can only pretend that I am not Gu Tianba or Gu Chaolu, but the daughter of a small family that looks like them.
"Girl, you can buy a red silk hijab and get two taels of silver!" The guy has been waiting for me to pay the silver for a while, and he was a little impatient, and when he saw a distinguished guest at the door, he was in a hurry to greet him, and his speech was not very good, "It's just ten taels of silver, and you don't want to take it today!" ”
"Little brother, do you see me using this bracelet to wrap my line?" I took off the jade bracelet on my wrist, this bracelet is of average color, I bought it for twenty taels of silver at a stall, Xiao Ye thought it was ugly, and almost lost it for me several times. Now, using it for hijabs is also considered waste. Moreover, whether it is Gu Tianba or Gu Chaolu, it is impossible to wear such a bad bracelet. This also shows more that I am the daughter of a small family.
The guy took the bracelet, raised it to his eyes, looked at it, sighed, and said, "Girl, it's not that I dislike it, just your broken bracelet, it's worth five taels of silver at most." In this way, I will not waste my tongue with you, I will take this bracelet, you take another five taels of silver, and I will let you take this hijab. ”
It's also a jade bracelet, it's not a lump of dirt, and it's five taels of silver, this guy is black enough, if it's usual, I'm too lazy to deal with this kind of person. But this will be different, I must show a shabby and cowardly, being laughed at and not daring to fight back, and swallowing the grievances in my stomach, "Little brother, I bought this bracelet for twenty taels of silver, you look at it again, this color, this water head, no matter what, it can't be worth five taels of silver!" ”
"I said five taels will be five taels!" The guy's face was long, "I accepted your broken bracelet, and I have to go out and exchange it for silver to pay the account, this cold day, if it weren't for your pity, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Little brother works hard, but if my mother knows that I used this bracelet to pay five taels of silver, she will definitely kill me, little brother, you have pity on me, let me use this bracelet to change this hijab! In order to behave more pitifully, I desperately squeezed out two tears.
"Isn't it just ten taels of silver, as for such a difficult girl's family! These ten taels of silver, General Ben came out. ”
Maybe I was too involved in the performance, and I didn't know that he had arrived in front of me until I heard Su Chonghua's voice ring from overhead. And he opened his mouth to help me out. It's just that I didn't expect that Su Chonghua, who is invincible on weekdays, still has the hobby of seeing injustice on the road and drawing a knife to help.
I received ten taels of silver in vain, and I had to say something anyway, I was thinking about what to say, but I saw Su Chonghua stretch out his hand to pick up the red hijab, and said, "Mandarin ducks playing in the water!" The girl has a good eye. ”
"General Xie's compliment!"
I stretched out my hands, ready to take the hijab and leave quickly, but I didn't want to, he actually folded the hijab in half a few times, stuffed it into his arms, and hooked the corners of his mouth to look at me, and said, "This thank you should be from this general!" Miss Xie chose a hijab for the future general's wife. ”
At this moment, I had the urge to stretch out my hand and strangle the person in front of me, trying my best to make my expression more natural, I smiled shyly, and said: "The little woman can't afford to thank the general, don't disturb the general, the little woman will leave." With that, I lifted my leg and walked out.
"Girl! Your bracelet! The guy shouted behind me.
Even if I don't want to dangle it in front of Su Chonghua's eyes anymore, but the bracelet is mine, even if Xiaoye throws it away for me when I go back, I can't cheapen this snobbish guy!
Su Chonghua reached out and took the bracelet from the man's hand, handed it to me, I took the bracelet and thanked him, and quickly turned around and walked out of the cloth shop.
When I took the bracelet and put it on my wrist, I found that what Su Chonghua handed me was not my original bracelet, but a jade bracelet that was green and transparent.
What does he mean by that? Flirting? It's not good to be too presumptuous in front of Lin Muhan, so he uses a jade bracelet to seduce other girls. Su Chonghua is a beautiful man, and he is the general of the god of war in Tianyuguo, he wants to flirt with his sister, so he naturally has his hands on it. If that girl really wants to cling to wealth and nobility, she will definitely go to the General's Mansion to find him, be a concubine, a personal maid or something, and she will be able to have no worries about food and clothing, wear gold and silver in this life.
Bored! The flirtatious sister actually picked up my head! But this bracelet is not bad, I will treat it as a courtier to honor the prince, and I will accept it reluctantly!
