Chapter X
Thinking about it carefully, the two of them don't know each other very well, what can they say, it's nothing more than that I'm fine, thank you, I have polite words like using your medicine.
Rather than that, it's better not to.
Didn't he say that I am an unmarried daughter in the boudoir, how can I entangle with him, and it will not benefit my reputation.
What's more, he also said that I was out of line......
If I write a letter, won't it seem that I am in a hurry, and he has to do it, so what should I do?
Cui Yuzhu fell into a tangle, wrote and tore, tore and wrote again, carefully considered, and finally gave up.
"Girl, look who's coming to see you."
After knocking on the door, Chuncao smiled and led someone in, with a beautiful appearance and a smile, it was Yan Muqing.
When Cui Yuzhu saw her, her eyes turned red. "Mu Qing, when did you come back?"
Yan Muqing is her handkerchief, the granddaughter of Yan Runqin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, her grandfather and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites were originally the people who supported the prince, so the two families were very close, but she went to Tongzhou with her father as an official the year before last, so since then, she has not seen her for nearly two years.
"I just came back, and as soon as I came back, I heard that something had happened to you, so I came to see you, are you okay?"
"I'm not good, I've been thinking about you all the time since you left, and I'm crazy thinking about you!" Cui Yuzhu said aggrievedly, and Yan Muqing sneered when she heard it.
"It's going to be poor, it seems that the rumors outside are not credible."
"What rumors?"
"Outside, it is rumored that the young lady of the Taifu family is sick Xi Shi, a minor illness in two days, and a major illness in five days, I see that I am full of energy."
"Nonsense, I ......" Cui Yuzhu stood up angrily, she really didn't expect that these days she sulked and didn't like to go out, so she called herself sick and hid, and it was best to be rumored to be a sick seedling, "When did my body become so weak?" ”
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, no matter how angry you are, it won't be beautiful." Yan Muqing teased her, "You said that you clearly have a face that is not stained with the smoke and dust of the world, but you are so angry, others are others, don't care what they do." ”
Yan Muqing is right, Cui Yuzhu has a peerless face, if she doesn't speak, just stands coldly, I really don't know how many people will be amazed.
It's a pity that she has a soft and timid temperament, and she doesn't say anything and tears first, and her voice is crisp and soft, but she has poured a lot of young people.
The beauty of the Cui family's daughter is well-known in the entire upper-class ladies circle, which is why Cui Zhang wants to send Cui Yuzhu to King Qin as a side concubine.
"You talk nonsense, others say that Xu Ying'er is beautiful, when have you praised me?"
Yan Muqing took her hand and patted it, and smiled, "That's because they're jealous of you." ”
Cui Yuzhu doubted: "Really? I don't believe it. ”
There are really people who are beautiful and don't know it, Yan Muqing and Chuncao glanced at each other and sighed, "You, I really don't know how to say you." ”
Cui Yuzhu pouted, not planning to continue the topic, so she asked her why she returned to Beijing. Yan Muqing secretly whispered in her ear, which surprised her.
"Huh??"
"Hmm." Yan Muqing nodded.
Cui Yuzhu sighed for a while, and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, since ancient times, the daughter's family affairs are all the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, it is not easy to marry someone you like, you probably haven't seen the silence." ”
Then, Cui Yuzhu took the spring grass out and whispered to her.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm having some problems, too." Cui Yuzhu asked her for advice.
"What would you do if you liked a man?"
Yan Muqing teased her, "No wonder someone feels a lot of emotion today, it turns out that their hearts belong!" ”
Cui Yuzhu pinched her, "Don't laugh!" ”
The two of them laughed for a while, Yan Muqing was facing her eyes, and said seriously: "If I like someone, I will let him do everything possible to see me." ”
When she said this, Yan Muqing's eyes showed great confidence, and this confidence made Cui Yuzhu stunned.
"But how easy is that?"
Yan Muqing said: "I mean that we women should not take the initiative to provoke men, this world is especially harsh on women, if it is slightly wrong, it will cause criticism." If you really like him, take advantage of the meeting to explain to him, with your identity and appearance, what man can say that he does not love? ”
"But he probably doesn't want to see me again, when they parted, he couldn't wait to shake me off, I really wasn't ......sure," Cui Yuzhu remembered, her nose was sour, and she couldn't help but whine, and shed tears.
"Good Zhuzhu, next month is the Shangsi Festival, have you forgotten? Then it will be a good time, and whether you succeed or fail can be regarded as doing your best. ”
On the Shangsi Festival, young people will gather early in the morning to clean their hands by the Jingling water, give each other bluegrass, Cui Yuzhu received a lot of bluegrass last year, it is indeed a good time to confess.
Cui Yuzhu collected her tears and turned her worries into joy.
"I'm from Tongzhou and I've brought you a gift."
"What is it?"
"You wait, I'll fetch it."
Cui Yuzhu looked forward to it, and after a while, Yan Muqing took a big box and came in.
"This skirt is for you, the style is a popular pattern for Tongzhou women, and it is rare in our capital, you can try it?"
Cui Yuzhu showed the innocent smile of the little girl when she heard this, took the skirt and compared it, and went to change it.
This is a light color, the upper body is water-colored, the skirt is plain and extends down to light green, the skirt is thin like a clear mist, and the chest is tied with a yellow ribbon, which makes Cui Yuzhu's complexion more white.
This dress is of good quality and light in texture, which is not worse than that of the Beijing Lan Embroidery Workshop.
"Is it pretty?" Cui Yuzhu turned around, waiting for Yan Muqing's comment with anticipation on her face.
Yan Muqing shook his head and sighed, "I can't say it's good-looking......"
"Isn't it pretty?" Cui Yuzhu was slightly disappointed, she especially liked this dress.
Yan Muqing saw that she was in a bad mood, so she stopped teasing her, and said with a smile: "This is just good-looking, it's completely a fairy descending to earth, and you will wear this on the day of the Shangsi Festival, to ensure that the one in your heart can't take your eyes off." ”
Cui Yuzhu was also happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked: "What you said is the truth, if you just make me happy......
"You just believe me, can I lie to you?"
…… The two talked for a while, and before leaving, Cui Yuzhu gave her a lot of rouge powder as a return gift, and made an appointment to go shopping together in a few days to add some jewelry, and buy some gifts for Xue Fangfei by the way, as a gift for her two months later.
Xue Fangfei is the daughter of Duke Weiguo, and her mother, Shangguan, and Empress Shangguan are sisters, so she and King Qin are cousins. At the age of twelve, he made a marriage with His Royal Highness King Qin, and was the most expensive existence among the nobles, and the unfavored princess did not dare to put up a fight in front of her, and the princess Zhaoyang from the queen could suppress her.
His Royal Highness King Qin is twenty-two this year, and he is still unmarried, and it is rumored that he is waiting for Xue Fangfei and Lu to make a ceremony.
Xue Fangfei's queen aunt will also come to insert hairpins for her in person, and all the women and nobles in Beijing will go to watch the ceremony, which can be described as extremely grand.
There is no girl who doesn't like to be valued like this, but Cui Yuzhu can't think of such a grand gift, she is only half a year younger than Xue Fangfei, and then she just hopes that there will be more people.
Only then did Yan Muqing secretly tell her that being a woman with a good life like Xue Fangfei is also one in a million, with the Weiguo Mansion as a backer, the queen as a backer, and the King of Qin as a backer, no one can bully her, and she doesn't need to look at anyone's face, she is more wanton than the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace.
