Chapter 565 - Rites (3)
On the ninth day of March, Qingshu was born fifteen.
On this day, Qingshu not only invited the mothers of several friends such as Mrs. Wu, Mrs. British Prince and Lord Jiade, but also invited Mr. Lan and Mr. Mu, the principals of Wenhua Hall, to watch the ceremony.
Originally, it was his parents who were in charge of the etiquette and welcoming guests, and Lin Chengyu was also ready. As a result, the eldest princess said that it was not suitable for foreign men to enter the Wenhua Hall, and Lin Chengyu had no chance to be comfortable and courteous. So the people who welcomed the guests this time were replaced by An An and Feng Xiaoyu.
Looking at An An, who was so nervous that her palms were sweaty, Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "An An, all the people who came here are people with two eyes and one nose like you." You won't be nervous when you think about it that way. ”
An An spat out a turbid breath and said, "You said it lightly, but they are all big people." Especially the eldest princess, I heard that it was particularly majestic. ”
Feng Xiaoyu said happily: "It's all false, my grandmother is very kind." ”
An An didn't believe her. One or two of them may be false, but if everyone says so, then eight or nine will not be far from ten. In addition, her sister never mentioned the eldest princess in front of her, how could she not mention it if she was really amiable!
Feng Xiaoyu looked at her from time to time, and said with a smile: "An An, you will have to attend more banquets with your sister in the future." If you have more contact with people and see more pomp and circumstance, you will not be afraid. ”
An An nodded and said, "My sister said that she will start attending the banquet after she arrives." When the time comes, I will follow to see the world. ”
Over the years, except for the banquet held by Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Huanxi and others, others have basically not been to Qingshu. And this has also led to many people only hearing of her name and not seeing her.
As he was talking, the county lord of Jiade and Zhu Huanxi came, and An An hurriedly greeted him.
Zhu Huanxi smiled and said, "Don't worry about us, you just need to entertain the other guests." ”
Then, he took the arm of the Lord of Jiade and went in.
Except for Xia Lan's mother, who was sick and didn't come, all the guests who were invited came.
Qingshu and the ceremony this time, the presiding officer of the ceremony is Mr. Lan, the guest is the eldest princess, and the person who assists the guest is Feng Xiaoyu. As for An An, she and Zhu Hanxi and Gongsun Yingxue held a hairpipe, hairpin and hairpin crown at that time.
Originally, Qingshu was going to let An An be a praiser, but An An knew that Zhengbin was the eldest princess and retreated. There is no way, the liker has to give Zhengbin a hand. When she heard the name of the eldest princess, she was stunned, and she couldn't help but weaken when she saw someone. Therefore, the praiser was changed to Xiao Yu.
The hairpin that the eldest princess prepared for Qingshu was a hairpin with emerald inlays.
Inserting the hairpin between the Qingshu bun, the eldest princess said: "This hairpin is the beloved thing of the ancestor of this palace, the Empress Shixian. This palace will give you this hairpin, hoping that you can also be as happy and healthy as your ancestors, and live a long and healthy life. ”
This blessing was not only refreshing, but even everyone else was stunned.
Qingshu came back to his senses and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the eldest princess: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." ”
Such blessings made Qingshu a little uneasy, but it was not revealed on his face.
As soon as the ceremony was over, the eldest princess left Wenhua Hall, and Mrs. Wu and other elders also went home.
After Qing Shu sent the people away, he immediately went to find Feng Xiaoyu: "What did the eldest princess mean by what she said just now?" ”
Feng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "My grandmother said it so clearly, didn't you hear it clearly." ”
She was also surprised that the eldest princess would say that, but after hearing it, she was sincerely happy for Qingshu.
Qingshu shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, I always feel that the eldest princess still has something to say. ”
There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling.
Feng Xiaoyu glanced at her and said, "You love to think blindly." Who was my grandmother? She is the one who dares to refute even the emperor's words, and she still needs to hide it from you? ”
Qingshu thought about it, nodded and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”
The main thing is that the eldest princess's blessings are too amazing. Women in the world, who doesn't want to live like Empress Shixian. But there are so many blessed people in the world.
Qingshu prepared the table and invited Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Huanxi and others home for dinner.
Those who can come to the ceremony are deeply friendly. Except for Gongsun Yingxue, who returned to the palace on an errand, everyone else followed Qingshu back to the Gu house.
Feng Xiaoyu smiled as soon as he saw the banquet: "All of them are the signature dishes of Fuyun Building, Qingshu, this time it is a big deal." ”
Qingshu Waner: "When I heard what you said, those who don't know think I'm stingy on weekdays!" ”
After Feng Xiaoyu sat down, he raised his voice and said, "How can you have good food without wine." Qingshu, hurry up and move two jars of wine. ”
An Anle said happily: "I know that you want to drink, my sister bought three jars of bayberry wine, which is enough for everyone to have a good time." ”
After drinking the fruit wine in three jars, all the people at the table fell down, and even Qingshu did not escape.
Qingshu woke up and looked out the window at the dark, don't ask, "What time is it?" ”
Chun Tao smiled and said, "It's the end of the unitary time." ”
Qingshu didn't expect to sleep for more than two hours, she stood up and asked, "Where is An An?" ”
"The second girl is still sleeping. She had drunk more than the girl, and she shouldn't have woken up so quickly. ”
It is said that drunk people will have a headache when they wake up, Qingshu touched his head and felt that it was okay and didn't feel anything.
Touching his head and finding that there was nothing on his head, Qingshu asked, "Where is the hairpin?" Fetch it for me. ”
Holding the emerald sapphire hairpin given by the eldest princess, Qingshu looked at it seriously. This hairpin handle has three layers of red gold dotted emerald lotus holder, one layer covered with lotus, the second layer is a pearl inlaid on the lotus, and the third layer is a large and round sapphire embedded on the multi-layer lotus.
Chun Tao stood next to him and said, "Girl, is this hairpin really worn by Empress Shixian?" ”
Qingshu smiled and said, "This is a gift from the eldest princess, how can it be fake?" ”
Chun Tao shook his head and said, "I don't think it's fake, I just think this hairpin is too simple." I see that Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Feng wear jewelry with complex styles and high value. Empress Shixian is the mother of a country, and the jewelry she wears should be more luxurious and complex. ”
She felt that this jewelry was not worthy of the mother of a country.
Qing Shu knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Empress Shixian lived in a simple house in her later years, and she wore some simple jewelry on weekdays. ”
"As for the value. The sapphire is not the usual ocean blue, but a deep blue with a soft blue band indigo. This gemstone alone is worth the value of a set of emerald gold. ”
Following Feng Xiaoyu and Zhu Xi, the level of Qingshu jewelry appreciation rose gradually.
Chun Tao was amazed and said, "I thought this hairpin was not very valuable!" ”
Qingshu smiled and didn't say much. Those who know the goods know that this hairpin is worth a lot, and those who don't know the goods will feel that it is not as good as a solid golden hairpin.
Chun Tao looked at the hairpin and said, "Girl, the eldest princess is too heavy to give this gift." ”
Qingshu smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's too heavy, I can't catch it." ”
Thinking about the eldest princess's words seriously, she still felt that the eldest princess had only said half of what she said. As for why she kept half of it, only the eldest princess knew.
Since the eldest princess didn't say it today, she won't say it if she asks again. Of course, Qingshu didn't have the courage to ask.
