Chapter Twenty-Five: Beauty
Mrs. Luo didn't stop her, and Roman sold the entire maids in Qingqiu Courtyard.
For a while, the person who pleaded and cried with Mama Pei was discharged two or three meters. After all, their words and deeds were all ordered by Mama Pei. They charged ahead, and if something happened, Mama Pei always had to carry it.
Mama Pei couldn't keep them, wanted to ruin Roman's reputation, and asked them to go out and spread bad things about Roman. But she couldn't afford to provoke Uncle Xuanyi and the Zhao family, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
So, all the fault is attributed to the person who was betrayed: you are wronged, how are you wronged? I'll let you pinch Roman, I'm like Miss's own grandchildren, can I be willing to pinch Roman? When you say this, laugh off other people's big teeth first.
Take a step back, even if you misunderstand what I mean and do something you shouldn't do. Then you should be smarter, don't let people take the wrong place.
Now, if you put the handle in the hands of others, and sell you back five taels of silver, what can I do?
Who do you hate, who do you hate? When did I ask you to stumble on Miss? I am close to you, and I catch you for being lazy, not serving people, and not being punished, but Miss has to be taken care of if she is neglected, shouldn't you?
After working together for so many years, I feel very sad to see you being sold. Let's all disperse first, I can still say a few words in this house, and when the time comes, I will bring you all back.
"We'll wait for Mama!"
Some people are angry, unjust, and unwilling, but in the end, they can only leave the next sentence of 'wait for her' and leave.
Many of them are working in Luofu with their whole family, for fear of offending Mama Pei and causing their families to be excluded. There are so many shops in the Luo family in the hands of Mama Pei, how many people do she have to break off if she wants to exert her power?
The rest of the maids, like frightened mice, sharpened their heads to inquire for news.
When they learned that Mama Pei didn't leave any of them, disappointment and fear hit their hearts - Mama couldn't be trusted, and they had to quickly find a new way out.
But Mama is standing again, and they don't dare to blatantly find a new way out.
This, what to do?
When Zhou Hong taught Roman this play, Roman was looking at the clothes in the closet one by one. After her brother went to the prince's side as a counselor, she had more opportunities to see the prince. The first few times things happened suddenly, and she couldn't prepare for it.
The next time they meet, she must make his eyes shine and amaze her.
looked at his appearance carefully in front of the bronze mirror, and compared Zhou Mei in his heart with his memory. The facial features didn't lose, the skin color didn't lose, and the figure didn't lose, but together, why did they lose?
She thought about it and immediately came up with the gap: temperament!
Zhou Mei was born in everyone, and her words and deeds have been trained by famous teachers, so she can spit words like an orchid and walk like a poem.
There is also grace, she is a young lady, she has been golden and noble since she was a child, and naturally she will not care about small things and people. Just to care, and she doesn't need to take action, of course, she can be light and light, elegant and quiet anytime and anywhere.
And bookish gas.
People learn to be rich and have five cars, and they are talented women in the capital when they are teenagers. There is poetry and books in the belly, and the words naturally have the elegance of poetry and books.
Thinking of this, the corners of Roman's lips couldn't help but turn up: In her last life, she rose from the dust, and her bearing, knowledge, and even charm were not as good as Zhou Mei. But after the accumulation of the previous life, she has been in charge of the country for more than ten years as the queen mother, and then compared with a little girl raised in the boudoir, she should never lose again!
Roman looked in the mirror and raised his chin and smiled. The bright and fresh energy almost shook his eyes. She laughed out loud, feeling so narcissistic: fortunately the prince was not there, otherwise it would be a joke.
Zhou Hong, who was busy sorting out the cage, glanced at Roman, and then looked at it again: It turned out that Miss also had such a lively and naughty side. Only then could she feel that Roman was the same age as her.
Seeing Zhou Hong looking at herself in the mirror, Roman also looked at her in the mirror generously, seeing Zhou Hong's blushing face, she withdrew her gaze in a panic and concentrated on her work.
"Your face ......" Roman turned to Zhou Hong's side, helping to sort out things while carefully looking at her scar: "The scar removal medicine that Sun Shengshou can find is basically used up, and I am afraid that this scar will not be removed." ”
Zhou Hongli's hand in her clothes flickered, sadness flashed, and she smiled: "It's okay to keep it, it's a wake-up call." ”
Ever since she was in charge of affairs by Roman's side, there has been a lot of talk about her in the house. But at that time, she didn't get in the way of anyone, even if there were unpleasant words, she hid behind her back.
Since she took the lead in dealing with the subordinates of the entire Qingqiu Courtyard, everyone's hostility towards her was revealed. Speak with a stick and usually point and point.
Zhou Hong was originally a thoughtful person, and Roman was in charge behind her, and everyone couldn't find fault with her, so they always attacked her with her past and appearance. Although Zhou Hong didn't care, she was sad in the end-
It's all in the prime of life, who doesn't want to be as beautiful as a flower?
"When I have a chance later, I'll find you a good tattoo artist and ask him to draw a picture of your scar based on the shape of your face." The female official Xu next to Concubine De Niangniang is a good hand, and her hand tattoo can turn decay into magic. As long as you can open your mouth to the king of the county, it is not difficult to lend the female official Xu.
Zhou Hong's eyes lit up, and soon darkened again: "A painting on the face?" …… It's just a nice scar. ”
The magic of Female Official Xu Roman couldn't be explained for a while, and Zhou Hong didn't necessarily believe it if she made it clear. Besides, she can't afford to invite people over now, and it's useless to say it.
"We'll talk about that later." Roman picked out a close-fitting color Luo skirt from the cage, and went to get the matching gown of the same color: "Call Lan'er, let's go to the shop to choose jewelry." ”
Roman glanced at his jewelry box, which contained a lot of gold, silver, beads, and jade, but there were various styles, and it was not easy to come up with a set of jewelry with the right style.
It's not that her previous taste was not good, but she has been detained by Mrs. Luo in the courtyard to read books and copy scriptures, and she mostly goes to the nunnery when she goes out. She didn't need any jewelry, so she never picked it out. What I have now is all brought back by Mama Pei from time to time in order to rein in her.
She was so moved at the time that she felt that her mother was more intimate than her mother. But which one of these jewelry beads is not from her family's jewelry?
The money was not spent, and the hearts of the people were also bought, and Mama Pei's business was really profitable!
Seeing the lively appearance of the children, Mrs. Law no longer detained them. Anyway, it's still small, and shopping isn't out of line. Therefore, I arranged for more people to follow, and allowed them to go out.
Roman took his sister to the largest jewelry shop in the capital, 'Cuifang Lou', where the jewelry is full of categories, new styles, fine workmanship, and many designs can make people shine.
As soon as Roland entered the door, she was stunned by the magnificent decoration of the storefront, she opened her mouth slightly, and looked at the beams of people's houses in a daze: even the beams were yellow flowers and carved flowers.
Zhou Hong's concentration was better, but he couldn't help but follow Roland to look at the beams: Even the roof is so good-looking, and the jewelry is still good?
The shopkeeper was trained by the shopkeeper to be self-contained, and he decided that they were hillbillies who couldn't afford it, and he came over to entertain them with the same enthusiasm: "What do you want to choose?" There are a few new fine beads and silk flowers in the small shop, which are delicate and cute, and match the temperament of nobles. ”
He was half-squatting and talking to Roland, with a decent smile on his eyes and face, which made people feel like a spring breeze. The recommended jewelry is also made with care: silk flowers are not valuable, and fine beads are not valuable. These girls who have never seen the world may be able to afford it. If you can't afford it, it's easy to shirk it, the beads are too small, not bright enough, and the style is not like...... It's good for each other to step down, not embarrassed.
Roman glanced at the deserted 'Treasure Pavilion' opposite, and was very dissatisfied with his property. Not to mention the objects, just looking at the shopkeeper who was leaning on the door frame and dozing off, it was several levels worse than Cuifang Building.
She left the waiter outside, went in and took her sister's hand: "Don't look at the beads first, pick up the good ones and bring them to us for selection." ”
After getting the words, Xiao Er took Roman and others to the elegant room on the second floor: although Roman is also plain, he has an elegant temperament. Xiao Er knew at a glance that he had just walked away, and that little girl who was glutinous must have come from an extraordinary background.
The elegant room is equipped with coffee tables and chairs. Xiao Er served good tea, candied fruit, and snacks first, and asked Roman to take a break, and then he was busy picking out jewelry: "Distinguished guests, wait, Xiao Ke will bring the jewelry over." ”
After a while, more than a dozen servants lined up in front of Roman with more than a dozen plates of jewelry. Roman took his sister to choose the same sample, and he picked a dozen or so by himself, and his sister also chose seven or eight kinds.
"That's all for now, wrap it up." Roman made a choice, and then pointed to Zhou Hong and asked the shopkeeper: "Is there a mask suitable for her, no matter the material, don't be too rigid and ugly, just block the scars." ”
"Yes, you will be later."
Zhou Hong, who had been keeping her head down since she went upstairs, suddenly raised her head, looking at Roman's eyes and about to burst into tears: Miss wants to buy it for her? She is a maid who has no way out and can only cling to!
The mask was quickly taken, and Roman chose a half-faced silver fox tail for Zhou Hong: "I think this side is good, the silver is in good condition, it is thin, and it is not tired and breathable when you wear it." The foxtail is realistic and playful, which can completely block the wound on the forehead and add to the luxury. ”
Seeing that Zhou Hong couldn't come, Roman went directly over to put it on her, and took a few steps back to take a closer look: "Your right face is delicate and soft, and it is just right with a fox tail." ”
Roland also stood beside his sister and nodded: "Good-looking, really good-looking!" ”
Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, Zhou Hong lowered her head in a panic to wipe it, took off her mask again, and carefully rubbed the fine ruby embedded in the fox's tail, her heart was hot.
If it was dependent before, now it is surrender: the young lady who treats her as a human being is worthy of her life.
At this moment, no matter how much comfort is harmful. Roman instructed Xiao Er to pack up and settle the bill, and he took his sister to stand by the window to watch the scenery.
Originally, it was to give Zhou Hong space and let her slow down her emotions. But at this glance, I can see the meaning-
The window was facing Hulu Lane, and Roman remembered that Mama Pei had a property in Hulu Lane, so he subconsciously looked over there. Who knew that I didn't see Mama Pei, but I saw the white housekeeper from a private house, with three young women coming out, getting into an inconspicuous oil truck, and the person with a human tooth accompanied Xiaoyi to send it far away.
All three women wore hoods, and Roman couldn't see their looks. But just with the style and figure, people can't take their eyes off.
The white butler is Mama Pei's confidant, and these girls are afraid that they are for my brother.
Roman retracted his gaze lightly, settled the account and took his sister to Linxi Jiuli.
The shopkeeper's personal reception, Roman was not polite, and avoided everyone and ordered directly: "Mrs. Pei has prepared three warm house girls for the eldest brother, and you have someone to check the origin." ”
Roman detailed what he had just seen, and when he was done, he ordered a table of dishes for Roland, and several people ate slowly, without affecting their mood at all.
The meal was finished, and the news came back: "Mama Pei spent a lot of money to buy a thin horse in Yangzhou, and the three girls used 10,000 taels of silver." Since childhood, they have been in the hands of human teeth, training according to the requirements of noble concubines and oirans. The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, and the ability to attract men is more perfect. ”
"Ten thousand taels." Roman read this number, and his heart hurt a little: ordinary people only earn a dozen taels of silver a year, and Pei Mazi has a lot of money in order to ruin the eldest brother.
The key is that this is the Luo family's silver!
She originally wanted to stuff these girls to Pei Junjie, because of Pei Mama's kindness, and his nephew suffered the same. But 10,000 taels of snowflake silver, placed on the two roads of Jinghu, how many lives can be lived?
