Chapter 145
Knowing that Mingxiu was going to enter the palace to participate in the Halloween Festival, Ming's father and mother didn't mention the excitement in their hearts.
In their hearts, only nobles are qualified to participate in Halloween.
Emperor, when you can see it, there is green smoke on the ancestral tomb.
They have been walking floatingly for the past few days.
Compared with Ming's father, who blindly gave birth to a good daughter, Ming's mother is more careful.
"You can't go empty-handed, can you? Can...... We don't have anything we can get our hands on. ”
Those rare things were all sent by Xie Zhan, they bought them themselves, and there were valuable ones, but if they were rare, they were not rare, they were all things that could be bought with money.
After all, the heritage of their family is here, and they can't want anything rare.
Send those sent by Xie Zhan, it's not appropriate.
But their family couldn't do it.
Ming's mother sighed, very melancholy in her heart.
"I'll figure it out." Mingxiu understands her own situation very well, and she knows that it is difficult to hand over this matter to Ming's mother now, so she can only find a way to solve it by herself.
She didn't have a clue for a while, but there were always more ways than difficulties, and there were always ways to think about it.
The emperor, his status is lofty, and he doesn't lack anything if he wants to, and besides, Mingxiu doesn't have any friendship with the emperor, just have a gift that he can get his hands on, if you want to say your heart, it's still a little bit of meaning.
Mingxiu learned from Xie Zhan that the emperor was only nine years old, so what is the most appropriate gift for a nine-year-old child?
Mingxiu thought about it, and what she liked when she was nine years old was toys like puzzles.
In this era, there are already prototypes of puzzles, and she thought about it, maybe it would be more complex and more playable.
The children of the royal family are not much worse in IQ and hands-on ability, and she is not worried that the emperor will not be able to spell out.
Just do it, Mingxiu drew a picture by herself, which is not too complicated, but it is innocent and cute, and puzzles with large white space are often more difficult than complex patterns.
Otherwise, there would be no pure white and pure black hell puzzles.
After drawing the pattern, make a copy of the paper, paste the copy on a wooden board with a solid color on both sides, and hand it over to Ming's father to carve out, while the original is left as a complete comparison.
After carving it, it is cut into 500 irregular pieces and boxed, and a puzzle is ready.
Xie Zhan didn't think about Mingxiu's gift at the beginning, Mingxiu's own attainments were the best gift the two of them gave to the emperor.
In the early morning of the day of the Halloween Festival, the carriage of the Regent's Mansion stopped at the door of the Ming family.
People from Peony Village came out to see the excitement.
The peasants got up early, and at this time there were already people who began to go to the fields, so there were still many villagers outside.
I wanted to inquire about the situation, but seeing the luxury of the carriage, there was really no one who dared to step forward.
After Mingxiu got into the carriage and left, Aunt Peng took advantage of her help in Ming's house to inquire about the situation.
"The prince has prepared the clothes and jewelry for you, let's go back to the palace first, wait for you to dress up, and enter the palace after noon."
Hearing this, Mingxiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Don't you have lunch in the palace?" ”
She thought that the Wanshou Festival was just a group of people accompanying the little emperor to lunch, according to Xie Zhan, the Southern Dynasty mission entered the palace at night, she shouldn't need to collide with the Southern Dynasty mission, right?
Mingxiu doesn't want to have too much intersection with those so-called nobles, not for anything else, just because of trouble.
If her business grows big in the future, she may use these connections, but that is all for the future, and now Mingxiu doesn't want to worry about that.
Things work themselves out.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "The ladies and ladies of each family haven't dressed up yet, how can they be rude in front of the saints?" ”
Although it was a day off for the emperor on Wanshou Day, Xie Zhan did not rest, and now he was still in the palace discussing the details of the reception of the mission with the ministers.
They want to be friendly with the Southern Dynasty this time, try not to fight if they can't fight, it's not that they can't afford to fight, it's that if they fight, the cost is a bit big, originally Xie Zhan was the main battle, but after careful calculation, he still temporarily retreated.
After the desert is cultivated, this battle is bound to be fought.
In that case, there can be no half-point problem with the reception of the mission.
Especially in the mission, there are also the second princes of the Southern Dynasty, if he has three longs and two shorts in the desert capital, the Southern Dynasty will definitely hold on to this point and not let go.
Mingxiu obviously couldn't enter the palace to face the saint at this time, so he could only wait for the night.
Nodding clearly, Mingxiu didn't ask any more.
Entering the palace, a group of girls surrounded and hugged Mingxiu to the room that had been prepared earlier.
Bathing, changing, applying makeup, combing hair.
One by one, Mingxiu's whole person collapsed a little.
She thought it was a bit of an exaggeration to set aside a whole day to clean up, but it was only after the actual operation that she realized ......
It doesn't seem like there's enough time.
Even the lunch was eaten casually under the service of the girl.
Sure enough, the lady is not so easy to do.
Mingxiu frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable anywhere.
After being dressed up, the whole person weighed a few pounds.
This is still dressed according to simplicity, and the jewelry is much worse than that of a serious lady, and now her outfit can only be said to be the daily life of an ordinary aristocratic lady.
It's just a little more refined, otherwise it won't take that kind of time.
The girls and mothers-in-law carefully cleaned up Mingxiu from top to bottom, from head to toe, and even smeared balm on her heels.
Xie Zhan came back to see Mingxiu after finishing the things ahead, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
I saw her combing Lingyun bun, with a winged jade luan hairpin with a branch of Dilian Begonia obliquely inserted on the top of her head, a palace fan with a woven gold beauty ivory handle in her slender and soft jade hand, wearing a purple black gold cloud embroidered shirt, and wearing Yunyan Ruyi satin shoes on her feet.
Where you sit upright, the magnificent county lord is not bad, but the etiquette is a little worse.
However, in Xie Zhan's eyes, this is just a recklessness, not a shortcoming.
He looked at Mingxiu with a smile, "It's good-looking, you are suitable for such a dress." ”
She had never been so elaborately dressed before, dressed like a tomboy, even if she had money, but the hairpin that pulled her hair was a few points more valuable, and she didn't look like a woman at all.
"Okay." Mingxiu put down the fan in her hand casually, no matter how expensive things were, she only felt restrained, "It's just once in a while, if it's like this often, I'm afraid I'm going to get old and decay." ”
She knows why the young ladies and ladies of this era are not in good health, they are dressed like this every day, and they can't move easily, and it's strange that they are in good health after a long time.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of outfit she makes, she is so afraid of restraint.
Xie Zhan was not angry, and stepped forward to help her fan gently, "Knowing your hard work, I have collected some jewelry, although it is not too expensive, but it is exquisite, you can bring it back to your mother, it can be regarded as an apology for me to bother you." ”
No matter what, Mingxiu is a woman, as long as she is a woman, she has no resistance to jewelry.
Xie Zhan's vision has always been good, she couldn't help but have a slight brightness in her eyes when she heard the words, but her mouth was still unforgiving, "I've been busy for a long time to apologize to my mother?" What about mine? ”
"You'll find out in the evening."
