"Last time I congratulated the Empress Dowager Cisheng on her birthday, the reason why 'Haiyan Heqing' was able to stand out was not only because it was special enough, but also because it was also the wish of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager." Huang Yi'an explained, "Therefore, I think that the paper kite that enters the palace during the Double Ninth Festival should still be fastened with the word 'appropriate situation', and more efforts should be made on the paper kite." ”

Seeing that Liu Ji seemed to have an understanding, Huang Yi'an continued: "Fighting for beauty is a means used by the inferior to step on the opponent and flatter the superior, and naturally fall behind; Calm and quiet is the demeanor that a winner should have. ”

is like those concubines in the harem, who try their best to dress up every day, just to be lucky enough to get a trace of favor from the emperor. thinks that she is beautiful, but once she faces the imperial concubine of the Zheng family, she will inevitably bring humiliation on herself.

As for Empress Dowager Li, her temperament is already serious and thoughtful, and she doesn't like those bells and whistles. And Empress Dowager Chen has always lived in Ciqing Palace, her edge is not revealed, and she is at peace with what she encounters, so how can she have the leisure to care about the style of the paper kite.

It's just that she can't explain these words to Liu Ji, so she can only talk about the emperor.

Liu Ji pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Okay!" Then listen to Miss Huang! ”

The tragic generosity of a strong man with a broken wrist.

provoked Huang Yi'an to cry and laugh.

"In this way, I also ask Miss Huang to give more guidance to the masters in the shop, and strive to leave the opponent far behind in the quality of paper kites this time!" Liu Ji is ambitious.

Huang Yi'an nodded and smiled.

A few decades later, the craftsmanship of paper kite making is naturally not comparable to today.

Wuzhang wind, this time it is going to be in the limelight again.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Qi Yu thought of the fact that Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen talked about this year's Double Ninth Festival yesterday, and all the paper kites of the noble lords in the palace were paid tribute by Wuzhang Feng, and he couldn't help but think about it, and the book in his hand turned into a blur, and he couldn't read half a word clearly.

Those who can come up with the "Haiyan Heqing" paper kite, what new tricks will they come up with this time to pay tribute?

I can't help but look forward to the early arrival of the Chung Yeung Festival.

……

Huang Yi'an was busy in Wuzhangfeng.

Zhang Xi was also very tired from the mess in the house.

She never knew that taking care of a house was such a trivial and onerous matter.

Ming Yi is worse than Zhang Xi.

She has a sensitive and weak temperament, and in recent years, she has devoted her mind to encircling Zhang Chi and flattering the British duchess.

Therefore, Zhang Xi is just tired, but Ming Yi has a headache.

Mrs. Shizi has a lot of affairs to deal with in her daily life, and where is there time to teach them carefully, so it is just that the two of them are with her, watching her receive people and things, handle affairs, and only click a few words when she is free, and how much each person can learn depends on their ability.

Just as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Mrs. Shizi is preparing a list of gifts for each family. Thinking that human relations were a compulsory lesson for the housewife, Mrs. Shizi divided the gift list into two parts and handed them to Zhang Xi and Ming Yi respectively.

"You can draw up the gift list according to the old practice, and when it is ready, I will add or subtract as appropriate." Mrs. Shizi smiled, "With the help of two younger sisters this year, I can easily go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Zhang Xi responded with a bitter face.

Mingyi secretly glanced at the group of ceremonies that Zhang Xi was assigned, and secretly speculated whether Mrs. Shizi would watch people put down dishes, and the people who gave Zhang Xi were all powerful families who had a close relationship with the British government, but the ones who were assigned to her were some inconsequential relatives or small families.

Mrs. Shizi has been trained for many years, and Mingyi's careful thinking can't hide it from her at all, and she can't help but sigh secretly when she sees this.

Anyway, my mother hurriedly set up a family affair for Mingyi, and then she got married.

If it's too late, in case Ming Xuan really has something to do with Zhang Chisheng, she can't help but have a headache at the thought of having a concubine with such a thoughtful person.

……

At home, he studied family management with Mrs. Shizi for more than half a month, and finally got free on this day, Zhang Xi immediately asked Huang Yi'an to go to Taoranju to pour bitter water.

"You don't know, I still feel that I don't have enough time to work and rest during this time." Zhang Xi poured a cup of tea without any image, took a long breath, and the whole person collapsed on the table softly, chattering, "You said that in a family, how can there be so many things to deal with every day?" Especially the personal contacts of various families are simply annoying to death. ”

Huang Yi'an refilled Zhang Xi with a cup of tea and said with a smile: "With Sister Zhang's ability, what is this matter?" It's just a bit of work. ”

Zhang Xi thanked Huang Yi'an, took another sip of tea, sat up straight, and said smugly: "What you said is true. I'm tired, but nothing has gone wrong. Sister Yan is miserable......"

As he spoke, he leaned over the table, leaned over to Huang Yi'an's ear, and said in a low voice: "During this time, the lights in the East Cross Courtyard have been on almost all night, which shows that Sister Yan is working harder than me!" ”

There is inevitably some schadenfreude in self-satisfaction.

Huang Yi'an didn't think it was funny.

Although Zhang Xi was close to her at first, he still remembered the demeanor of Miss Yan of the British Mansion, sassy and heroic, calm and sensitive, even if he was dissatisfied with Ming Yi in his heart, he never showed it, and he still maintained it in front of people.

Now in front of her, Zhang Xi is more and more disregarding the manners of a powerful and noble woman, and she doesn't even hide that little bit of schadenfreude.

That's good!

Zhang Xi protected her in her previous life, and she will spoil Zhang Xi in this life.

After Zhang Xi poured the bitter water, Huang Yi'an comforted her gently: "Since there are old precedents to follow, let's act according to the rules." I do think that the purpose of this move is not to test you, but to take this opportunity to familiarize you with the human relations of the British Princess. ”

After all, if these relationships are handled properly, when Zhang Xi and Mingyi get married in the future, they will also become their own social contacts, which is very useful for them to gain a firm foothold in their in-laws' family and continue their previous life circle.

"Sister Ann is really smart!" Zhang Xi gave a thumbs up, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel much more relaxed." ”

After all, she was raised by her mother when she was a child, not to mention that she is familiar with all human contacts, at least she remembers the people she often comes and goes. It is not difficult to sort out the gift list and make it clear that you are close to your relatives.

Huang Yi'an pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm just aware of Mrs. Shizi's heart as the eldest sister-in-law, so I deserve such praise from Sister Zhang?" ”

Zhang Xi disagreed, and said: "Being able to accurately perceive people's hearts is a very remarkable ability!" For example, on the last birthday of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, if you hadn't realized that the Empress Dowager was a mother and came up with the idea of 'Haiyan River Clearing', how could Wuzhangfeng become the top paper kite shop in Daqi today? ”

Huang Yi'an held the cup and smiled silently.

In the majestic deep palace, you will not be able to perceive people's hearts, but you will not live long.
