Chapter 24: Princess Beijing
After eating breakfast, drinking medicine, and packing up, Yingchun was ready to go out.
Xi'an knew that there was no persuasion, so she had to serve her and change into men's clothes, and the two still left Sun's Mansion from the back door of the garden, and arrived at the February Spring Clothes Bureau in front of the time.
Zhang Quan and Xiao Liu'er heard that Yingchun was seriously ill yesterday, and they were quite worried, but today they saw that Yingchun's complexion was significantly better than the day before, and they were surprised and relieved.
"If Miss Yanyan thinks it's okay after looking at it, you will cut this material according to the size of this drawing, and I have numbered each part, well, the point is that the line on the back and the line on the sleeve should be connected well, if one place is broken, it will be difficult to change, and ah, the arc of the collar is to be sewn like this-" Yingchun said while gesturing, Zhang Quan and Liu Er nodded frequently.
At this time, there was a sound of carriages at the door, thinking that Yan Yan had arrived.
Yingchun straightened up and turned his head, only to see that the person who came was actually a man with a good demeanor, fresh and handsome.
"Eh, Liang, Liang Gongzi, why are you here." Yingchun was surprised.
"Can't I come to you to make clothes?" Liang Chen walked in with a smile.
When Yingchun heard this, he was startled, and was about to ask, when he heard Liang Chen say with a smile: "Funny to you, I'm here to trouble Mr. Li to run around, go to my house, and choose a dress for my sister." β
"Ahh
"I shouldn't have troubled Mr. Li like this, but it's really not easy for my sister to come out, well, she heard my third brother say that Mr. has such skills, so I asked Mr. to help." Liang Chen said sincerely.
"This, this is inconvenientβ"
"It's okay, Mr. is originally a woman, just change back into women's clothes, I said it's an embroidery girl invited outside, it's okay." Liang Chen said with a smile.
"That's not good, Mr. Li still has to make clothes for me."
At this time, a charming woman's voice came from behind Liang Chen, but it was Yan Yan who arrived.
She stepped forward with a smile, hooked her lips at Liang Chen, revealing two deep dimples, and said with a sneer: "Liang Gongzi is trying to rob me of someone." β
"Where, where, I don't dare to trespass in the next book, it's just that my sister has an urgent matter tomorrow and wants to meet a very important person, so I want Mr. Li to help my sister take care of it, and I ask Sister Yan Yan to forgive me." Liang Chen said to Yan Yan with a smile, looking humble and polite.
Yan Yan ignored him, but walked straight to the table and said to the clothes in front of the table, "Is this for me?" It's so pretty. β
"If Miss Yanyan is satisfied, I will let the shopkeeper Zhang and Liu Er cut it according to the appearance, and I will make some details and accessories for you, well, the girl will come and get it in half a month." In this era, there are no sewing machines, and half a month is already considered very fast.
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll go back, oh, Liang Gongzi, the important person your sister is going to see won't be Princess Beijing." Yan Yan looked at Liang Chen with a hint of ridicule.
"Ah, how does the girl know?" Liang Chen looked at her in surprise.
"Hmph, you big families, I don't know about the dirty plans of famous families." After that, he ignored Liang Chen, and just smiled at Yingchun and said: "Mr. Li, since Liang Gongzi has something, then I won't bother, well, sir, but it's okay to go, Liang Mansion has always been very generous, if Liang Gongzi's salary is less, you just tell me." With that, he smiled, resigned to welcome the spring, and turned to leave.
Yingchun listened to Yan Yan's words, his eyes looked at Liang Chen, and the look of surprise on his face became even stronger.
"Please also ask Mr. Li to come with me, and I'll talk to Mr. on the way." Liang Chen looked at Yingchun and shook his head with a smile.
Yingchun looked at Liang Chen, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since Liang Gongzi is invited, how can you not go." β
She doesn't have much contact with Liang Chen, but the other party has always been personable and a humble gentleman, not to mention that he is the son of a court master, he will definitely not be unfavorable to her, not to mention, the last paragraph before Yan Yan left hit her heart.
If you're lucky, you might even get a good bounty.
Liang Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Yingchun had promised, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is really refreshing, uh, please change your clothes and go with me quickly." β
"Oh, I almost forgot." Yingchun smiled on his forehead.
If you want to see the daughter in Taishi Liang's mansion, you must change back into women's clothes. Fortunately, there is nothing else in the spring of February, all kinds of clothes are still there, Yingchun swept it again, and Xi'an picked two pieces of the simplest style to wear, and the hair was tied in a bun according to the most common style of married women at the moment, and then put the men's clothes that were changed into a bag, and Xi'an picked it up, and walked out.
"Li Han, the spring embroiderer in February, has seen Liang Gongzi." Yingchun walked in front of Liang Chen and sang a song in a similar way, Liang Chen saw it, and he was surprised and amused.
The woman in front of her has skin as crystal clear as snow, clear eyebrows, a delicate and straight little nose, and cherry-like lips that are slightly upturned, and she looks gentle and naughty.
It's just that he's already married, alas.
"Mrs. Li is like this, no matter how you look at it, she is a young lady from a big family, and she says that she is an embroidery girl, I'm afraid that no one will believe it." Liang Chen said that, and led the two of them out of the door.
At the door, there were already two tall horses pulling a painted Xia Man waiting at the door.
Yingchun waited for the car, the driver shouted, and the car started slowly.
"Liang Gongzi, Sister Ling, are you really going to see Princess Beijing?" The car walked out of the small half mile, and Yingchun saw that Liang Chen was still silent, and she couldn't help but ask.
Liang Chen looked thoughtful, nodded slowly, and after a while, he spoke: "Yes, Princess Beijing is sick, so my mother will take my sister to visit the Beijing Palace tomorrow." β
Yingchun frowned.
When the princess was sick, a lady with her daughter went to visit, which was a common thing in etiquette.
Why did Yan Yan have a disdainful tone and say something dirty?
Why does this Liang Gongzi look like he wants to speak and stop.
"That Princess Beijing must be very sick." A thought suddenly flashed through Yingchun's mind.
Liang Chen glanced at Yingchun in some surprise, and then smiled dumbly: "The girl is really smart," Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and continued: "The princess is very sick, the imperial doctors in the palace, the folk doctors have all seen it, and even the queen mother has let the imperial doctor Dong next to her see it, and they all say that there is no way to return to heaven." β
"A few days ago, our grandmother was sick, and our grandfather was looking for a Mr. Dong from Xinglintang, it is said that the medical skills are particularly high, and our grandmother couldn't get out of bed yesterday evening, and this time she is already alive." As soon as Xi'an heard the words of Imperial Doctor Dong, she remembered Dong Zihao of Xinglin Hall, so she couldn't help but interject.
When Liang Chen heard this, he also laughed: "The imperial doctor next to the Queen Mother is the sister of Mr. Dong in Xinglintang, and her medical skills are better than her brother, but even if it is Mr. Dong, not everyone can easily invite him, so Mr. Li's husband must also be a high-ranking official and noble in the capital, and he cares about Mr. Li very much." β
If, as Dou Niang Ruifang said, this Mr. Li has a very bad relationship with her father-in-law, then how could her father-in-law go to great lengths to invite Mr. Dong from Xinglintang.
"He's just afraid that I'm dead, and my father and brother will trouble him." Yingchun said and shrugged her shoulders, she didn't want to mention Sun Shaozu again, so she asked again: "Liang Gongzi's sister should not be young, just waiting for the boudoir." Yingchun asked tentatively.
"Mr. Li is just smart and clear, he can guess anything," Liang Chen smiled bitterly, and then said: "I won't hide it from the girl, my sister is sixteen this year, although there are many people who propose marriage, but my mother is such a close daughter, ordinary people, she will never agree." β
Yingchun winked at Liang Chen a few times.
Everything is in plain sight.
King Beijing is soluble, not only has a high position, but also has a romantic character, unparalleled in the world, it seems that he doesn't know how many powerful people in the dynasty want to send his daughter over.
So as soon as Princess Beijing became seriously ill, I don't know how many people began to move.
No wonder Yan Yan said that this was a dirty plan, and the person was not dead yet, so she wanted to go to that position.
