Chapter 128: Coaxing the Old Lady
Xiao Chuhan walked into the main hall with Yun Yao, bowed to Concubine He and smiled: "Mother, Yun'er is here." ”
Yun Yao hurriedly followed and saluted, and didn't know what to say for a while. It's definitely not appropriate to call her aunt, and she doesn't know what to call a woman in the harem, or she should be called Niangniang?
Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Chuhan whispered in her ear and reminded, "You are also called the mother concubine." ”
You're cheating me?! Fools know I can't call you a mother, right? Yun Yao glared at him fiercely, didn't dare to curse in his mouth, and only said respectfully: "The folk girl greets Niangniang." ”
Concubine He sat in a high position, watching the interaction between the two, and saw that her son had been smiling at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of tenderness, and she couldn't help but feel very relieved. Her son, with a beloved girl, can be regarded as a living young man.
"Your name is Yun'er? Hurry up, come to Hongu, let me take a good look. ”
Concubine He beckoned lovingly, Yun Yao glanced at Xiao Chuhan, saw him smiling and nodding, so she had to walk over carefully with her skirt.
"Mother." She followed the example of the TV and curtsy again, and sat down on the embroidered pier brought by a palace lady.
Concubine He carefully looked at her from head to toe, and saw that her posture was mediocre, but her demeanor was generous and unconventional, coupled with her smart eyes and lovely posture, she could be regarded as a little beauty.
It turns out that my son likes this style. Concubine He nodded secretly, and asked Yun Yao a few words of gossip at random, and Yun Yao answered them one by one.
She is a little village girl from Lijia Village, everyone knows this, what is there to hide? Besides, her true identity is scared to death, so she doesn't have any inferiority.
Seeing that her words were frank and uncharming, and she didn't take her background for granted, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This girl is really good, she can get into the eyes of her son, even if she is only a side concubine, she really doesn't have to be subservient anymore, this is the bearing that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family should have.
Xiao Chuhan sat on the side and watched Yun Yao deal with it easily, secretly happy in his heart. He knew that Yun'er was not an ordinary woman. Look at her, she is obviously a newcomer to the palace and the first time she sees her mother, but she has no stage fright at all, and her speech and demeanor are the same as before. That's the girl he likes.
Everyone was very satisfied with this meeting, and after talking for a while, Concubine He had already fallen in love with Yun Yao. She looked Yun Yao up and down several times, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, you live far away, and it's not easy to come here, so it's better to stay for a few more days and accompany my old woman." ”
Yun Yao is from modern times, of course, she knows that women don't like others to call her aunt no matter how old they are, even if it is the same in ancient times. This is Xiao Chuhan's mother, just say a few good words to coax her, maybe when people loosen their hands, they can leak something casually enough for her to buy a house.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly flattered: "Niangniang, if you are an old woman, then all the women in the world will not live." With your beauty, if you go out with me, people will say that we are sisters, and they will lift me up. I can only be a little girl next to you! ”
"Haha, your little mouth is so sweet!" Concubine He laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, and Xiao Chuhan also turned her head to snicker. Unexpectedly, Yun'er also said good things about people, and he thought that this girl would only be angry.
Yun Yao didn't have time to deal with him, she still had to fish.
She recalls that pretending to flip through her pockets was actually pulling out a small box containing jewelry from the rental house. It was the corsage she bought a few days ago and planned to sell it to Fang Liangyu, but she never had a chance to give it to him, and now she is using it to please Xiao Chuhan's mother to see if she can cheat a return gift.
Yun Yao opened the box, respectfully handed it to Concubine He, and said, "Niangniang, the little girl came from afar, and she didn't bring anything good, only this corsage is still rare, please don't dislike it." ”
Concubine He covered her mouth and smiled: "It's hard for you to still think about me." With that, she took the small box from the palace maid's hand.
Originally, she still regarded Yun Yao as an ordinary village girl, thinking that she was just taking a flower embroidered by herself or a gadget, but who knew that if she looked closely, it was a shiny bead flower.
The pearl flower is the size of a cup, supported by rose gold, inlaid with broken diamonds, made into a hollow rose shape, and in the middle is inlaid with a pale gold pearl the size of a thumb, which is really dazzling.
"Oh, how can I be born to receive such a precious gift from you!" Concubine He took the beaded flower in her hand and looked at it carefully, she really couldn't put it down, but she still politely pushed a few words in her mouth.
Seeing that his mother loved the gift given by Yun'er so much, Xiao Chuhan also walked over curiously. He took a closer look and was also taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Yun Yao a few more times. I remember how happy she was when she took her 1,000 taels of silver ticket, it was obvious that she was very short of silver, why did she take out such valuable jewelry in a blink of an eye?
Seeing that Concubine He liked it, Yun Yao quietly snickered in her heart. Pearls and rose gold are not worth much in modern times, and diamonds are not expensive, and they didn't cost her a few dollars.
When she saw Xiao Chuhan looking over, she secretly winked at him, and continued to coax Concubine He: "Swords for heroes, famous flowers for beauties." I don't have a sword to give to the prince, so I can only send a pearl flower to the mother. It is also an honor to be able to wear it on the mother's body. ”
As she spoke, she walked over and opened the pinclip and helped Concubine He pin the beads under the collar of her clothes.
"Haha, Han'er, Miss Yun'er is such a wonderful person!" Concubine He was happy in her heart, and said to the grandmother who followed her: "Go, take out my Jiufeng hairpin and give it to Miss Yun'er." ”
Nine phoenix hairpins? The old lady and Xiao Chuhan were shocked at the same time. That is the treasure specially created for her by the old prince when Concubine He entered the palace, each crested head is inlaid with a different gem, the concubine will wear it except for the royal celebration, and the rest of the time can be kept as a treasure. Now that she is coaxed by a few words from this girl, she is about to give it away?
In fact, where was Concubine He coaxed by Yun Yao, she just saw that her son rarely had a girl she liked, since she brought it to herself, she always had to give her son a little face. In addition, Yun Yao is indeed good at coaxing people, and she is not distressed at all when she holds this treasure.
Not long after the old lady entered, she walked out with a black and heavy sandalwood carved jewelry box in both hands. Concubine He nodded at her, and she held the box in front of Yun Yao.
"Miss Yun'er, please put it away." She opened the lid of the box, and Yun Yao looked down and almost laughed.
Great, that's truly priceless! This nine phoenix hairpin is made of red gold, with thin gold filaments to produce nine golden phoenixes, each golden phoenix has a different shape, with a gold chain in its mouth, and the top of the gold chain has a gem the size of a little finger, which is actually nine different kinds.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Yun Yao hurriedly covered the box and held it tightly with both hands, not knowing where to put it.
This little money fan! Xiao Chuhan shook his head and smiled, nodded to Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi hurriedly walked over to help Yun Yao take the box.
"You've got it, don't break it!" Yun Yao told her several times in a row, and Xiaoxi's face turned green by her. Yun Yao doesn't care, this phoenix hairpin is a priceless treasure at first glance, as long as she takes it to the modern era, she is afraid that she will not be able to exchange it for money? Now there is only one question left: where to sell it, and who to ask to help her sell it.
Forget it, take a photo at night and ask Tang Peipei. Now coax Xiao Chuhan and his mother first.
Yun Yao's wish was fulfilled, and she didn't feel that it was hard to deal with these two people, so she laughed and laughed with them, and had lunch with Concubine He, and when Concubine He covered her mouth and yawned, she followed Xiao Chuhan out of Anhe Palace together.
Yun Yao carried her skirt by herself, and reminded Xiaoxi again: "You take the phoenix hairpin well, but don't fall." ”
Xiao Chuhan looked at her funny and asked, "Like it so much?" Do you want me to send you a few too? ”
"Of course that's good." Yun Yao jumped for joy at first, then thought about it again, and said generously: "Forget it, I'm embarrassed to take too many things from you, just this one is enough." ”
Hmph, the little girl is not normal today. Xiao Chuhan saw that all the people around him were following, and he was embarrassed to do anything too intimate, so he only tightened Yun Yao's hand slightly.
The two went directly to the Jinyun Palace where Yun Yao lived, where six palace ladies had been arranged by the chief attendant Dafuzi, plus the original two, Yun Yao actually had eight people to serve here.
Seeing that the two of them came together, someone immediately came over and lifted the curtain, and someone ordered fragrant tea and brought fresh fruits.
Yun Yao picked up a piece of peach and ate it, and asked Xiao Chuhan, "Are you okay?" I want to sleep for a while. ”
"Yun'er!" Xiao Chuhan complained: "We haven't been able to talk properly until now, why are you in a hurry to drive me away?" ”
Yun Yao was in a hurry to go back to identify the treasures and find someone to help her sell them, but she was dragged by him at this time, so she had to deal with it: "Okay, speak, just say what you have to say, I'll listen." ”
"Oh, you!" Xiao Chuhan was made lose his temper by her, so he had to clap his hands and call a palace person, and ordered: "Pass the decree." ”
"Yes!" The palace people withdrew, and from time to time a chubby chamberlain walked in outside the door, holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, standing facing the door, and shouting in his mouth: "Zhao Yun'er takes the order." ”
Pick-up? What purpose? Yours? Yun Yao looked at Xiao Chuhan in confusion.
Seeing that she was sitting still, cold sweat suddenly flowed from her back, and he looked at Xiao Chuhan for help, and Xiao Chuhan had to shake his head and say, "Give it to me." ”
The chamberlain was like an amnesty, and hurriedly handed Huang Aya to Xiao Chuhan with both hands, and retreated with the palace ladies himself.
"Why, why are they gone again?" Yun Yao was still waiting to watch the drama of the decree, but who knew that all the people who passed the decree had run away.
"Yun'er, don't you really understand at all?" Xiao Chuhan reached out and rubbed her head, spreading the yellow silk open. "Anyway, what does it matter if you understand or don't understand, it's just a matter of showing others. I'll read it to you. ”
Xiao Chuhan unfolded the king's decree and personally held it in his hand to look at it with Yun Yao.
