Chapter 460: Crowning Beads

Chapter 460

The New Year's money given by the elders, Fang Hanniang's sister and brother naturally did not refuse, and they all accepted it obediently.

When a few juniors came over with the adults in the family, Fang Hanniang's sisters and brothers also prepared red envelopes for those juniors.

For a while, the laughter of everyone in the Hibiscus Hall spread far and wide in the winter wind and snow......

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hundreds of officials and women are going to enter the palace to kowtow to the emperor, and the Pingguo Mansion is one of the most noble families in the capital.

Except for a few small ones, the family almost left the house and went to the palace.

For a while, there were a few small ones left in the house, and Fang Hanniang's sister and brother.

During these days, Ruan Zhixuan and Fang Zhiniang went out to give food and clothing together, and the two little girls had a lot of common topics, and they went to the Arhat on the side to talk hand in hand; Ruan Zhiting is still young, so she naturally followed her sister, she got up early today, and after paying homage to her ancestors, the elders went out again, and she began to stick to her sister and dozed off, and her little head grew little by little.

Ruan Zhixuan called her sister's nurse with a smile and asked her to take her sister to the west room to rest again.

Ruan Zhilan seemed to be a little withdrawn, her eyes drooping in the corner, no one was looking, holding a small kumquat in her hand, slowly peeling the skin there.

Fang Minghuai went out to have a snowball fight with two "nephews" who were older than him, and they were making a lot of noise in the courtyard outside, and their laughter could be faintly heard through the thick curtains.

Fang Hanniang was whispering to Lu Ying there: "Sister Lu Ying, do you know the craftsman who makes jewelry?" ”

Due to the Chinese New Year, some of the silver buildings outside have closed. Fang Hanniang thought about it, and still asked Lu Ying about it.

Lu Ying thought for a while and said with a smile: "The girl asked, the slave really remembered that there was such a person, just in the alley at the back door of our house to walk two miles inside, a turn, there is a low door on the left, there is a veteran craftsman in it, he used to work in the silver building, but he is old, there are many problems on his body, and he can't play too much jewelry, so he retired from the silver building." ”

Qiu Zhu listened beside him, and also had some impression of this person, and said in surprise: "You are talking about the kidnapper Li?" ”

The green warbler smiled and nodded.

When Fang Hanniang heard this person still say something, she was also a little interested: "Still a person with a background?" ”

Seeing that Fang Hanniang was interested in the origin of this person, Lu Ying replied with a smile: "But isn't it, that person was also a well-known craftsman in the capital, but he once gave a very beautiful jewelry to a concubine in the Hou Mansion, and overwhelmed the limelight of the main room at the banquet. It's much better looking than others, and it's very ingenious. It's just that he has been greatly changed, his temperament has become a little eccentric, and whether he can take on jewelry work or not depends on his mood. ”

Lu Ying is a smart one, as soon as Fang Hanniang asked her about the craftsman, she naturally thought of the South China Sea dzi, I am afraid that their girl wants to use the South China Sea dzi for jewelry.

Fang Hanniang stroked her palms and smiled: "It's okay." At present, most of the silver buildings are closed for the Chinese New Year, and I have the idea of making a piece of jewelry on the spot—if he refuses to do it, then he will find someone else. ”

Immediately, Fang Hanniang didn't ink, and asked Qiuzhu to bring the box containing the South China Sea dzi to find the kidnapper Li, and she also ordered four guards to accompany her, for fear that something would go wrong on the road.

Qiu Zhu was so trusted by Fang Hanniang, her hands trembled a little, her lips trembled slightly, and she took the order.

However, it didn't take long for Qiu Zhu to come back a little embarrassed.

She shook her head a little frustratedly: "Girl, that kidnapper Li looked at this South China Sea dzi, and his eyes were as big as a bull's eye. The slave and maid reported him the size and style, but he refused to fight, only said that if he wanted him to fight, he must wear this jewelry himself. ”

Fang Hanniang was surprised and said: "It's a very characterful person." ”

Xiao Ya on the side puffed out her cheeks and said indignantly: "It's just a kidnapper Li!" Such an impudent request! Girl, you don't have to deal with that person, there is one less jeweler in the entire capital! ”

Fang Hanniang felt that most of the people who had real skills at the moment were a little temperamental.

It's just a big New Year, and there's nothing going on in the house, so it's better to take a trip over and have a look.

Fang Hanniang led Qiu Zhu, took a few guards, and went directly to the kidnapper Li.

The place where the kidnapper Li lives is actually a very quiet small courtyard.

When the kidnapper Li saw Fang Hanniang, his eyes lit up, but it was not a lustful and obscene light, but more like the excitement of a carver seeing Meiyu.

He sat on the small pier, patted the intact thigh and said, "That South China Sea Dzi, only this kind of posture can be worthy!" ”

Fang Hanniang listened to a lot of praise, but she was very generous.

She smiled and said, "I heard that the master wants to see me before he is willing to play that jewelry......"

Kidnapper Li glanced at Qiu Zhu, and said with some sneer: "Of course, good jewelry is to be able to raise people's beauty and temperament to a few points, and naturally you have to look at people to determine how to create it." Otherwise, it's like leaving a pearl in the dust! After speaking, he glared at Fang Hanniang vigorously.

Fang Hanniang was speechless, she was really a very temperamental craftsman.

"Bring it!" The kidnapper Li stretched out his hand to Fang Hanniang.

Qiu Zhu didn't want her girl to be treated so rudely: "You ......"

Fang Hanniang stopped Qiu Zhu and handed the brocade box containing the South China Sea Dzi directly to the kidnapper Li.

The kidnapper Li glanced at Fang Hanniang deeply, didn't say a word, stood up with difficulty from the small pier, limped and dragged a leg, and entered the inner room behind the curtain.

There was a lot of movement in the room.

Qiu Zhu glanced at Fang Hanniang, saw that her girl looked calm, and even looked at the collection of the abductor Li in the house with great interest, knowing that the girl had an idea, and now she must have her own idea.

Qiu Zhu patiently accompanied Fang Hanniang and waited.

This is to wait until the sky is dark.

Finally, the kidnapper Li Xing opened the curtain and limped out of the room, holding a bead crown in his hand.

At first glance, the bead crown has a plain style, and it is an ordinary bottom support.

However, on the bottom of the crown of pearls, there is a huge South China Sea dzi. The more plain the bottom bracket looks, the more it sets off the South China Sea dzi.

For a while, people's eyes couldn't take their eyes off the South China Sea dzi at all.

The kidnapper Li was very proud in his eyes, but his tone was bad: "Take it!" ”

Only then did Qiu Zhu completely accept the ability of the kidnapper Li and respectfully accepted it.

Fang Hanniang glanced at Qiu Zhu with a smile.

Qiu Zhu respectfully took out a purse from his arms: "Master Li, this is your hard work." ”

The kidnapper Li didn't even look at it, and scoffed very much: "The old man is very satisfied with such a piece of jewelry today." Money is such a mundane thing, take it away, take it away! ”

didn't pick up Qiuzhu's purse at all, and even, had to catch up with customers.

Sure enough, a person with the ability is a big temper - Fang Hanniang and Qiu Zhu glanced at each other, and reluctantly went out of the yard.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, even though he was as steady as an autumn pearl, he was a little excited, and couldn't help but say: "Girl, if you wear this pearl crown, it will definitely make the flowers lose their color - when do you plan to wear it?" ”

Fang Hanniang smiled and touched the brocade box containing the bead crown, her eyes were deep: "It's almost over." ”

What Fang Hanniang said was fast, indeed very fast.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the palace gave a banquet and invited the nobles' families and ministers to the palace for a banquet.

On the surface, it is said that in fact, everyone knows that several emperors and grandchildren of the Heavenly Family have reached the age of saying that they are married, and this is to let the wives take their own girls to the palace to show each other.

At this banquet, even Second Mrs. An, who took care of Ruan Chubai, who had been ill for a long time, had to come forward, and together with Third Mrs. Mo, she led the first few nephews and daughters-in-law in the family, as well as Ruan Zhixuan, Ruan Zhilan, and Fang Hanniang, who were talking about their age, into the palace together.

Fang Hanniang wore the crown of beads made on the kidnapper Li on her head.

As soon as Fang Hanniang's crown came out, the Ruan family, who were already accustomed to seeing her beauty, were shocked and speechless.

The white beads glowed with a moist white light, reflecting the girl's white face like jade, lining her like a fairy from the Nine Heavens to the earth.

Second Mrs. An suddenly felt a little apprehensive in her heart.

If it weren't for her Bai'er being sick, it would be time to see the girl say goodbye.

When the time comes, maybe she can say that she is a good girl who is a little more beautiful than Fang Hanniang......

As soon as she thought of Ruan Chubai, Second Mrs. An felt very bitter in her heart.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to enter the palace at all.

She doesn't have a daughter, and she only goes to the palace to make wedding clothes for others, so it's better to take good care of her Bai'er in the house!

As long as Mrs. An remembered that Bai Er had been seriously ill in the past few days, and after barely attending the reunion banquet a few days ago, she came back with a high fever, and she was very worried.

In this way, the second lady An was depressed in her heart, and got into the carriage to the palace together.

Fang Hanniang was in a carriage with Lord Anping Weng and Ruan Zhixuan.

Lord Anping Weng looked at Fang Hanniang, and his eyes were full of pride and pride of "my family has a girl who has just grown up": "Han Niang is so beautiful, the first Oiran in the palace this time, I'm afraid it is Han Niang." ”

This time the palace went to the banquet, and there was a small name hall that chose the head of a hundred flowers in private.

It's just that this kind of thing won't be said in the open.

The ladies know it in their hearts.

Ruan Zhixuan looked at Fang Hanniang's delicate face and said enviously: "My aunt is so beautiful, if I have half of my aunt's beauty, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing." ”

In fact, Ruan Zhixuan was also extremely good-looking, but her appearance was not the same as Fang Hanniang.

Fang Hanniang looked at Ruan Zhixuan and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang is so beautiful, I'm afraid that someone will come to the door to say goodbye today." ”

Ruan Zhixuan turned her back in disagreement.
