Chapter 132: Yan Sui's Private Gift
Wen Zhen rolled his eyes bigger than the wine table, and didn't come out again and wait to continue to see the presence of His Royal Highness Xiuxian's wife?
Can you not be so kick-in-the-sky!
Fortunately, although Chinese is thick-skinned, but also interesting, carefully waiting for her to get into the car, dare not say a word, the car is also prepared with various snacks, Wen Zhen looked at it and laughed angrily - this is to make up her mind to eat this social meal, right?
Back at the Yiwang Mansion, stopped at the gate of the first courtyard, she got out of the car, turned around and saw that Chinese was a little want to talk and stopped, she had the heart to ignore it, thinking that it was not easy to become an idiom guard of language guards, so she said: "What's wrong?" ”
Chinese hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Wen, I don't know if you have prepared a gift for Your Highness." ”
Wen Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I still have to thank him for doing this?" ”
Chinese coughed and said, "No, no, it's not today's thing, uh...... Forget it, Lord Wen, you should rest early. ”
Wen Zhen looked at him with a strange expression, and suddenly thought of the gift that Yan Sui had asked strangely before, and hurriedly asked, "What gift?" Yan Suike has had any happy events recently? It's your birthday? ”
De Gao looked at her with a look of "Your Highness is so heartfelt to you, but you are so indifferent and indifferent", and said: "The day after the queen's birthday, it is Her Highness's birthday." ”
Wen Zhen said "oops", thinking that this is fine, it's a few days, what to send him?
The most important thing is that she doesn't know at all, and Yan Sui also knows that she doesn't know, no wonder she got her here and left, is this angry?
De Gao said again: "Your Highness has been looking forward to the cake promised by Lord Wen. ”
Wen Zhen was a little ashamed now, she promised to make him an exclusive cake early in order to coax him, but she didn't know that people's birthdays were coming.
"His Royal Highness was born when he was born, and he experienced a lot of thrills, and Concubine De was sick for a long time after His Royal Highness was born, so he was also weak in his Royal Highness later. There is no such thing as a birthday celebration. And when His Royal Highness was born, His Majesty was just an unfavored weak prince, struggling to survive in the cracks of strong brothers, and dealing with the ...... of the first emperor That precaution...... In short, His Majesty himself is in danger, and naturally he can't take care of His Highness's birthday. Therefore, His Royal Highness didn't know what day his birthday was until he went to Endless Heaven, and later it was calculated by the old master. Endless Heaven wants to make His Highness's birthday, but His Highness doesn't want to. Later, when I returned to the palace, His Royal Highness was even more reluctant to do his birthday. De Gao sighed slightly and said, "It's been like this for so many years before. We always thought that His Highness didn't care about this matter. But not long ago, His Highness ordered us to arrange a birthday banquet, from the dishes to the decorations, to the personnel, to his own clothes and yours, to prepare them early...... Your Highness has been looking forward to it for a long time. ”
Wen Zhen was embarrassed, the days were too thrilling, she actually didn't forget to make cakes, but she never had the time and opportunity, but she really didn't expect Yan Sui's birthday, because she herself was only a birthday.
Because she too, her mother ran away, her father couldn't take care of her, she didn't know what her specific birthday was, she only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be winter.
Unexpectedly, Yan Sui turned out to be a person who had no birthday.
In the end, birthdays are just ordinary days, and the reason why they are beautiful is because they are remembered.
Someone remembers the day you came and celebrates it every year, which is an important sign of being loved, respected, and acknowledged throughout your life.
What about birthdays that no one remembers?
"Okay, I got it."
De Gao went back happily, he was not worried about what kind of gift Miss Wen would give, because as long as she gave it, it was the best gift.
Wen Zhen returned to Tang Xianzhi's small courtyard to rest, and now at this time, she really can't go to Yan Sui calmly, fortunately, Yan Sui still has a little bottom line, and she didn't make such a request, probably in order to avoid making this request and causing conflicts, she simply didn't come to the first courtyard.
However, Wen Zhen stopped when he walked to the gate of the courtyard.
At this moment, this courtyard, she still doesn't want to face it.
Looking at the low-key and simple door, it seemed to see Tang Xianzhi standing in the door with a smile, and said to her: "The moonlight is not very good tonight, watch the road carefully." ”
She gently pushed open the door, squeaked, and it was not oiled for a while, and the door actually made a sound of vicissitudes.
After a period of departure, there was no owner in this courtyard.
What a quick thing is wrong.
The door opened, and she was relieved that she didn't see the painting behind the wall.
I don't want to face the portrait of her with broken duck eggshells at this time, so the heart that was once touched will turn into a thick apology and doubt at this moment.
Then she noticed that there was light in the yard, and when she looked up, it was the lamps that were originally made of duck eggshells, but they were still there, and the fruits were hanging from the trees, each one shining with a green light. The trees are full of green lights, and the decoration is like jade.
Wen Zhen climbed the tree and picked a duck egg lamp, only to find that it was all finger-sized beads, with a cold white luster, and it turned out to be a precious pearl of the night.
How many pearls do you have to have in this tree full of duck eggs?
The duck egg lamp inadvertently turned around in the palm of her hand, and she found that there were still words on the duck egg, but it was not the original word, and there was a word on each duck egg, which was not coherent and meaningful, she thought about it, went down the tree, and went back, and then found that the duck egg hung very regularly, and only needed to read it from top to bottom and from right to left like a book.
And with her eyesight, she can see the words from a distance.
"Ah Zhen. This thing is given to you, may the road ahead be bright and never lost. ”
Wen Zhen looked at the typesetting silently, pursed his lips for a long time, stepped forward to collect all the duck eggs, and put away the beads.
In any case, this is the intention, and it can't always be hung on this tree in the sun and rain.
The night pearls are small and small, and the luster becomes brighter and brighter, and the eyebrows are deep.
He wanted to give her a light to light the rough road ahead, but now, where did he walk eternally in the darkness?
Wen Zhen clenched the night pearl in his palm, his tentacles were warm, warm were the memories of the old days, and cold was the final ending, so he was in the mood.
It took a long time for her to put away the night pearl, but there was no place to put it on her body, there were too many things in her sleeve pocket, only the embroidered pearl rabbit sent by Yan Sui hanging on her waist could be stored, but she opened the rabbit, hesitated, and put it back.
Forget it, the purse given by Yan Sui and the gift given by Tang Xianzhi feel quite a no matter how you think about it.
Besides, Yan Sui will definitely go crazy.
Put away the night pearl and go inside, the small courtyard has already changed to Tang Xianzhi's style, the small yard, but also the wooden house tree house, the bamboo forest and flowing water, the artistic conception is quiet.
Tang Xianzhi seemed to be able to foresee that she would come in sooner or later, there were lights hanging in several darker places in the courtyard, and the candles in them were still burning, illuminating the feet, Wen Zhen smelled a faint smell of fish oil when he passed by, and remembered that he had heard that there was a candle made of oil extracted from fish in the deep sea, which could burn for a year, but it was very expensive.
She stood still, thought for a moment, and was not sure if this kind of candle was used in the small courtyard when she came before, and if she used such a candle all the time, it seemed too wasteful.
Walk through a wooden cloister with three rooms in front of you with a large terrace. In the middle room, on both sides are the bedrooms of Tang Xianzhi and Tang Muzhi.
She didn't know how the two brothers and sisters divided the house, but she didn't want to sleep in Tang Xianzhi's room, so she chose the right room according to the principle of respecting the left in the East Hall.
As soon as she entered, she found that there was a light layer of gray in the house, Tang Mu was not in Tianjing in the later period, and the house had not been inhabited for a long time, she was a little relieved, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
originally thought that Tang Xianzhi might even be able to guess that she didn't want to live in her own house, and would deliberately change the house.
She cleaned it briefly, and then lay down with her clothes, Tang Muzhi's mattress was the same as her person, the board was hard, and she was really uncomfortable sleeping, so she got up to find if there was a spare bedding, opened the cabinet, and saw that most of the sets in it were black.
There was an unobstructed view of this cabinet, except for a few pieces of clothing, it was a box, Wen Zhen naturally didn't touch Tang Muzhi's personal things, and was about to close the cabinet door, when he suddenly didn't know where he was pulling, the box snapped and opened it by himself.
There is a piece of jade pendant inside, and the jade quality is naturally excellent, something from the Tang family.
The light of the air death wind lamp on the terrace outside came in faintly, just on the jade pendant, and a blue light faintly flashed on the surface of the jade pendant, and the luster was extremely beautiful, which caused Wen Zhen to involuntarily pick it up and take a closer look.
As soon as I took it, I found that it was abnormal, and there seemed to be too many things engraved on the jade pendant, and the normal jade pendant was just a pattern carved with various flowers, birds, and beasts. This jade pendant is inside and out, up and down, carved with things, one by one, like a comic book.
Some are mountains and valleys, some are houses, some are roads, some are birds and beasts.
Wen Zhen looked at it for a while and wanted to put it back, but found a piece of paper under the box, which read: "Meiyu is given to Yiren." ”
The signature is Tang Xianzhi's private seal.
The seal was very clearly stamped, bright red.
Wen Zhen looked at the piece of paper steadily, this was not Tang Muzhi's thing.
This is still a gift left by Tang Xianzhi to her.
She looked at the jade pendant in her hand, looked at the jade pendant for a long time, and put it back in the box.
Then she picked up the piece of paper, rolled it carefully, found a thin bamboo outside the house, cut off a bamboo tube, put the paper in it, and put it in her sleeve pocket.
The sound of the box closing again was crisp, and she closed the cabinets, leaving the exquisite box in the cabinet along with the jade pendant.
Then she went back to bed and fell asleep, covered with the big hat she had used before, but she did not feel sleepy, and after a while, she suddenly heard a knock at the door of the courtyard.
She got up to open the door, but it was Chinese and German, and she personally held the futon, and His Highness ordered them to help.
There are no maids in Yiwang's Mansion, and all his affairs were handled by guards and agencies in the past, but Wen Zhen was so embarrassed to let these five big and three rough men do these jobs, so he had to accept it, refused their request for help, went back to make the bed by himself, and sat on the soft and warm bed, but he couldn't sleep anymore.
After tossing and turning for a long time, I squinted for a while when I woke up, and my eyes were open, and I was almost startled.
Yan Sui was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking down at her, the sky was not completely bright, Wen Zhenmeng opened his eyes and saw only a shadow of a black Suosuo, but before she jumped up, Yan Sui had reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said, "Awake?" ”
Without waiting for her to answer, he said a little annoyedly: "I just moved a little, and you woke up." You are too awake in this sleep, and you should not be too heavy. ”
Wen Zhen thought to himself that I don't want to be heavy, but which of you is willing to reduce the burden on me?
She rubbed her eyes and got up, ready to make him breakfast. Seeing that he is dressed in a neat crown and belt, it seems that he is going to go to court, and generally he does not go to court, it is obvious that this is a situation that is very unfavorable to him, and he can't go up.
She has been staying in an idle position, although the grade is not low, but she is really not included in the work of the previous dynasty, and there is no way to follow, so she has to put on a coat and think about what to cook for him, so that he can abuse people with good energy.
As a result, he pressed his shoulder, and heard him say, "It's still early, go to sleep again." Beneath your eyes, they're as black as iron-eaters. When you wake up, call Chinese and ask him to prepare breakfast for you. ”
The iron-eating beast is the giant panda, but Wen Zhen's attention is not here, but - Yan Sui is outrageously considerate!
In the past, she not only had to cook breakfast, but also the breakfast of many people, and the breakfast that had been ordered by him!
He hadn't thought about going to bed early at that time, and he probably even thought it was natural for her to cook breakfast, right?
After marrying someone else once, did he force him to change drastically?
Wen Zhen wanted to laugh, and at the same time was a little soft-hearted, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't mind making breakfast, but he felt that it was better to accept his thoughtfulness at the moment, so he lay down and looked at Yan Sui with a pair of dark eyes on his head.
Yan Sui sat on the edge of the bed, originally thinking about what she should do next? bumped into these eyes, and forgot for a while, and couldn't help but rub her hair, and said, "Sleep." When I come back, I want to eat glutinous rice balls, spicy crab and sauerkraut fish. ”
Wen Zhen hummed lazily, thinking that his true form would be revealed in the blink of an eye.
She felt as if she was more comfortable with this commanding virtue.
I couldn't help but take a sip in my heart, it's so cheap, it's so cheap.
She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Zhou Qian is about to enter Beijing to report on his work, Your Highness, don't recommend him for the time being." ”
Zhou Qian is the history of Jianzhou, and after the Wuhai incident, he was devoted to Yansui.
Yan Sui glanced at her, suddenly pinched her nose, let go before Wen Zhen was about to beat him away, and said, "Okay, I'll go to court first." ”
Hearing Yan Sui's brisk footsteps going out, she sighed leisurely in her heart. Immediately got up too. The Agricultural Supervision Office has not yet been built, so naturally there is no work to do, she went to the Wen family's mansion, and discussed with Yi Ren that if she came back from them, she would open three Jianghu Lao branches in a row, and she had to make a charter.
The three new stores of Jianghu Lao are respectively opened in Yankang Fang, where important ministers gather, Ruikang Fang, which has the most officials, and Dingsheng Fang, which has the most merchants, are the places with the highest demand. Jianghu Lao now has an established process in all aspects such as operation, training, personnel recruitment, and ingredients, and it is on this basis that there will not be too much pressure to open three branches in one go.
The reason why she was in such a hurry to settle this matter was because tomorrow was the queen's birthday, and Wen Zhen felt that if she guessed correctly, she should have something to do after the queen's birthday.
After discussing the matter of opening a branch, I also met with the embroidery girls by the way, the embroidery girls were very curious about the rivers and lakes and were willing to help, but Wen Zhen felt that they were really useless to be restaurant helpers, and they had to play a bigger role.
She came back late that day, Yan Sui came back even later, the spicy crab was cold and fishy, Wen Zhen did it again, and waited for him to come back.
Yan Sui's expression was still joyless and angry, as if today's court meeting was no different from countless times in the past. Wen Zhen didn't ask, accompanied him after eating, while he was drinking tea and eating, quietly asked how the Chinese who went with him how the situation was today, Chinese shook his head, exaggeratedly rolled up the corners of his robe, and said: "Saliva took a robe!" ”
And he said, "It's a lot of noise." I have to hold on to those two things. A few old people in Yushitai are not dead, clamoring to descend to His Royal Highness, confining and thinking, and going to 3,000 guards and food towns, and they have to make meritorious service - they simply asked His Highness to give them this prince's throne! ”
"That's all?"
"Oh, it seems that some people say that His Royal Highness and the sailor General Liu colluded to disobey orders or something, and said that His Highness and the Ji family have a head and tail, in short, any dirty water will be poured on His Highness."
"Oh, by the way, someone mentioned you, Lord Wen, what did you mean in and out of your words...... Forget it, Master Wen, you still don't listen to it. It's a good thing you didn't go to court. Your Majesty is willing to trust you. ”
"Didn't anyone defend him?" Wen Zhen said softly.
"Your Highness has never been a friend or a party. Most people are not aware of the situation in this case, and it is difficult to help even if they are neutral. Chinese sneered, "Also said that His Highness colluded with the family to collude with foreign generals?" If Your Highness really wants to have this heart, he will not raise the court today without help! ”
He glanced at Wen Zhen's expression and hurriedly said, "Actually, it's not that important. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to His Highness. The incident of the Feng family back then was even more fierce than now, and in the end, it failed to shake His Highness in the slightest. Miss Wen, don't worry, no matter how difficult it is to be in His Royal Highness, as long as you are in Yiwang's Mansion and have nothing to do to make a snack for His Highness, those old guys will quarrel for a lifetime, and His Royal Highness will also be happy. ”
Wen Zhen smiled, returned to the house, Yan Sui said: "Tomorrow's birthday banquet for the queen, my father ordered a stop for one day, and all the ministers in the court, and the women inside and outside the palace will enter the palace to celebrate." Are you going to go to the former dynasty, or the harem? ”
The birthday of the queen of Dongtang, in previous years, was just the queen in the harem to accept the visit of the internal and external women, and then entertain the women of the royal family to drink and feast, and the ministers have nothing to do with it, and will not stop the court. Wen Zhen thought to himself that His Majesty's heart is still biased towards Yan Sui at present, is this to see that Yan Sui was sprayed too badly and specially took a holiday so that the old men could rest their anger?
She said: "The harem women are too noisy, I'll go to the front court." He smiled and said, "I came back in too much hurry, and I didn't prepare clothes and hairpins, so I went to the harem, for fear of not being ridiculed." It's better to go forward, you can wear a uniform, from the three-grade official uniform, who can laugh at me? ”
"I'm afraid that I still have to go to the harem in the end." Yan Sui beckoned to her, took out a big box like a trick, and said, "Let's prepare a set of clothes and hairpin rings." ”
Wen Zhen has now adapted well to his various shows, and when he saw this box, his eyes just opened, and he was ready to make a surprise expression to cooperate with someone.
But when she opened the box, she was really a little surprised, there was a goose yellow dress inside, which was her favorite color, this is not surprising, she has always liked to pretend to be tender, and Yan Sui also likes to watch her pretend to be tender.
The dress is not as exaggerated as she imagined, it is decorated with jewels or something, and there is not much embroidery to be seen, so low-key that it is a little different from Yan Sui's sao bag style.
Yan Sui met her somewhat puzzled gaze and said, "I can't help but go to the queen's palace, although I don't have to be afraid of her, but I don't have to be too eye-catching, attracting a group of will be annoying after all." ”
Wen Zhen shook off the clothes, only to find that the dress cut is particularly generous, and the leader of the dress, there are pearl embroidery, the beads are gold beads, this kind of a bit gorgeous too much color is easy to make people feel old-fashioned, but with the light and tender goose yellow, it only looks noble and exquisite, and although the gold beads are not particularly large, but the color is soft and bright, the rainbow is extraordinary, flawless, round and crystal and the size is the same, it can be seen that it is selected from a batch of top pearls, and the value is difficult to estimate.
And what's even better is that the embroidery, embroidered is not the common flowers, grasses, fish and birds, vaguely like a variant of the word, but the strokes are tortuous and complicated, beautiful as fish and flowers, extraordinarily chic, and the embroidery is also low-key luxury, it is divided into two layers, one is the word of the art body, there is a layer of background pattern underneath, but I don't know what material is used to embroider, the river cliff sea water dragon scale pattern, layer by layer of dense dragon scale color is colorful, fresh as true, Wen Zhen touched it with his hand, slightly stabbed his hand, it was really like dragon scales, Yan Sui took the clothes and showed them under the lamp, and Wen Zhen saw a beautiful five-colored light in front of her, which pierced her eyes, but when she looked at it again, the clothes returned to normal, only flashing in the dark with the inner light of a glass mother-of-pearl.
"What kind of material is this?" Wen Zhen had never seen such a dress, a bit like a modern sequins design, but much more low-key and luxurious than sequins.
"A kind of fish unique to Wuhai, with thick skin and pointed mouth, colorful scales, delicate and soft scales, and colorful phantom light." Yan Sui looked at it, "It's very suitable." ”
"Rare, right?"
"Fortunately, with a little effort to fish, you can probably catch a few in a year, it is impossible to cover the whole body, and it is still okay to have a neckline and cuffs."
Forget it, she'll feel like a fish.
"It's so precious, you have to be careful to wear it." She couldn't put it down and stroked the embroidery, thinking that Yan Sui was really a goose plucking, so she used the embroidery girls.
"No, you don't." Yan Sui had an indifferent expression on his face, and said, "Although this scale is beautiful, it can't last long, and it will lose its luster in two or three months." A few times is enough. ”
Wen Zhen wants to say that it is such a waste! But as soon as he saw the expression on Yan Sui's face, he stopped, looking at his appearance, he felt that this was already very economical.
Ah, the three views don't agree, so let's shut up.
"Where did you get so many fish scales to make clothes?" She remembered that Yan Sui had been chasing her, how could she have time to catch this fish?
"The dwarfs stationed on the beach will catch fish when they have nothing to do, and they will specially preserve the good materials when they meet them. Not long after you came, I told them to catch more of these scales, and after saving for a long time, it was enough to get so much. Yan Sui said lightly, "Don't always worry about the cheesy red robes of cats and dogs, broaden your horizons, the good ones are actually elsewhere." ”
Wen Zhen sneered, shook her head after laughing, she didn't expect Yan Sui to start preparing clothes for her so early, for the sake of this, she wouldn't laugh at him first.
In addition to the clothes, there were two small boxes, and when she opened the larger one, she found that it was a set of tortoiseshell beaded heads.
Still following the principle of luxury but low-key, the yellow and black tortoiseshell was not outstanding, but with her set of clothes is really coordinated, and in the tortoiseshell yellow part, it is still inlaid with small gold beads, and in the black part is inlaid with black beads, those black beads have a slight difference in color, purple and green light, blue light and red light flow and intertwin, really gorgeous and uneye-catching.
The shape is still decent, delicate but conventional, she was thinking that this seemed to be a bit inconsistent with the style of Yan Sui, who loves to be unconventional, but listened to him: "I wanted to make coral-shaped step shakes, shell-shaped beads, but I thought about it, why remind people, you just went to Wuhai." ”
Wen Zhen thought that he was afraid that he would touch the scene, and sighed slightly.
Things in this world really don't come to the end, and no one can see where the next corner is.
There was still a small box left, Yan Sui pushed the box in front of her with two fingers, and said very calmly: "There is another one here, I personally cut it out for you and let the embroiderer embroider it." It's pretty much the same as your original one, and I don't think you have been wearing it lately......"
He said it naturally, Wen Zhen took it naturally, and without thinking much about it, he opened it easily.
------Off topic------
Yan Sui: This finale is very important, I will do it for you myself.
Wen Zhen: ...... Whoever makes it wears it!
