Chapter Seventy-Nine: I don't know anything about the six arts
"These night pearls are all tributed by the envoys of Fanbang last time, and the palace is very happy to see it, but the palace doesn't need this thing much, so it is given to the lady."
"Then thank you for the reward." Bai Yulan lowered her eyes and said.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries here for a while, and then Bai Yulan left with greenery.
When Bai Yulan came out of the gate of the Chen Mansion again, she couldn't help but marvel at the glorious architecture of this mansion.
"In two days, the annual Six Arts Banquet in the capital will begin, you say, will the queen wear this hairpin?"
Sitting in the carriage, Bai Yulan's eyes were full of smiles.
Lu Yi said proudly: "This hairpin made by my wife is a color that is not available in the entire capital, and the jewelry next to it can be compared?" In my opinion, the mother will definitely wear it. β
Bai Yulan smiled silently.
The queen will wear a hairpin, which must be in addition to the beauty of the hairpin itself, there are other considerations, for example, in order to let the prince get Ye Mingting's support, the queen will help her make the reputation of the shop.
After Bai Yulan went back, she began to tidy up the shop.
Make some peripherals related to the queen's hairpin, and then destroy the defective products that were previously broken, and then reorganize the quality of the products, so that the outdated jewelry in the shop is also replaced, and the shop will be renewed.
Bai Yulan renovated the faΓ§ade of the shop again, and then clapped her hands with satisfaction.
The shopkeeper was very surprised, pondering the joy on Bai Yulan's face, and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you today?" Is it that good things are coming? β
Bai Yulan smiled and said: "Of course, it's not far away, this shop, take care of it again, don't happen to the defective products that Ah Bao used to fill the goods last time." β
After the shopkeeper heard about Ah Bao's incident, his face changed slightly, and then he knelt down suddenly, which made Bai Yulan couldn't help frowning, and said, "What's going on?" Why kneel? β
She was about to go over and help the shopkeeper up, but the shopkeeper knelt and refused to get up.
"Madam, actually, there is something I didn't tell Madame." The shopkeeper said guiltily.
"What is so important?" Bai Yulan was puzzled.
"It was the last time Ah Bao happened, Ah Bao had no intention of conspiring with the Lingling girl in your house, just because he was fascinated by a ghost." The shopkeeper was very guilty, and continued: "At that time, Ah Bao had a green plum, which was eight or nine points similar to Miss Lingling, and then disappeared, and she didn't know where to go, and Miss Lingling didn't know where to know about Ah Bao's past, so she secretly used Ah Bao to do this. β
Bai Yulan frowned slightly, this incident was unexpected, but the ending was already like this, and she didn't mind the cause and effect.
"The world has come to pass, and you didn't know it at the time, so you are not guilty, but I never favor those who betray me, as long as I make a mistake, it is wrong." Bai Yulan helped the shopkeeper up, and said depressedly: "Besides, you are so old, why do you like to kneel so much?" β
The knot in the shopkeeper's heart was finally untied, and when he knew that Lingling girl Xiao was like a Bao Qingmei a few days ago, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that Mrs. would say that he would not report it, but now it seems that Mrs. still has clear rewards and punishments.
He hadn't thought about the connection between the two.
The shopkeeper heard Bai Yulan talk about the decoration in front of the store, the manual service inside, and the time for the rebuilt products to be on sale, etc., and he answered everything.
However, a few days later, the news of the Six Arts Banquet came out in the palace, and Bai Yulan also held a gilded invitation in his hand, which was painted with gold powder and painted with a hundred flowers, and painted six skills of ceremony, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and counting.
This dynasty, because of the prosperity of the song, is the daughter, and she has also learned a lot, so that it can be refreshing in the increasingly many banquets.
When Bai Yulan thought of this, she felt a little headache, this Six Arts Banquet was indeed for the queen to wear a hairpin for a while, but at the same time, there was a side effect, she went to participate in the Six Arts Banquet, it was a kind of skill, it was really embarrassing.
"Madam, are you worried about the Six Arts?" Seeing Bai Yulan's decadent face, Lu Yi stepped forward and asked.
Bai Yulan nodded, it turned out that even Lu Yi could see that she was in such a mood now.
Bai Yulan sighed and said, "I was originally born as a village woman, these literati and scholars, the elegant art of the big family, really don't know anything. β
It's that she has heard of such things in modern times, but she is a white-collar worker, where can she have the leisure to learn so much?
"Madam, don't worry, if someone really embarrasses you, someone will protect you." Lu Yi was relieved: "So Madame should go boldly." β
Bai Yulan saw the strange eyes of the green will, and had a strong premonition in her heart, could it be that Ye Mingting bought the green will?
The Six Arts Banquet no longer follows the ancient law, but both men and women participate in the banquet.
Bai Yulan and Ye Mingting are recognized as a loving couple in the entire capital, and every time the two appear in public, they are together.
Today, this time, naturally, is no exception, but when the two of them just walked hand in hand to the banquet, they had just worshiped the emperor and empress, and the glory sitting next to the emperor was gone.
Previously, the mother concubine didn't let her clean up this woman, but now this woman has not changed at all, and she has become more and more intimate with Jing'an Hou, which should have been her husband!
The emperor was about to let Bai Yulan get up, but Rong Hua suddenly spoke: "This Six Arts Banquet, not everyone can come in, such a vulgar woman, what can she do, father, in the future, will all the literati and scholars in the entire capital lose points." β
Although the emperor was displeased, he was distressed by Ronghua after all, and besides, Ronghua was right, this six arts banquet has always been for the literati and nobles in the capital to show their talents, so this invitation is hard to find, because it represents a person's talent, if this Bai family will not ...... at all
"Bai Shi, since you are also among the invitees, I want to know, what talent do you have?" The emperor asked, and the people below naturally didn't dare not answer.
I saw Bai Yulan Shi Ran get up, his face was like a peach blossom, his face was full of spring, and the emperor who saw it was swaying again.
"Since the concubine came to the banquet, she naturally has her own set of talents." Bai Yulan lowered her eyes and smiled secretly.
Since she heard that Ronghua was also an invited guest at this banquet, she had expected today's situation early, but this today's incident will be a new breakthrough for her to understand her talent.
"If there is, it will be troublesome for Madame to be able to show her talents! Why hide it! Ronghua smiled and hid a knife.
This can be regarded as stepping on Ye Mingting's sore feet.
Originally, he brought Bai Yulan to participate in this Six Arts Banquet today, just to secretly cheat on Bai Yulan and make Bai Yulan a woman who is proficient in any talent, so that all the people who came to mock Bai Yulan had nothing to say, but this glory was not long-sighted, and he actually made such an excessive request at this time.
"Is it a little inappropriate for the princess to be here and let the minister's wife improvise?" Ye Mingting said unhappily.
This move was not only intended to break Bai Yulan's face, but also to humiliate Bai Yulan as a servant.
Bai Yulan gently brushed away Ye Mingting's hand that was going to protect her, gave him a calm look, and said, "If the princess admires the talent of the courtiers, please say it directly, the courtiers are naturally willing to offer their talents to the princess." β
These words made Bai Yulan feel cold.
But she still spoke softly on her face, neither humble nor silent, and said: "But the courtier's talent is a little clumsy, if the princess doesn't like it, the courtier's wife also does her best." β
Ronghua sneered, didn't listen to Bai Yulan's rhetoric, and said: "Hugh wants to say so much, if you have the ability, take out your talent first?" Don't talk about it here. β
"The courtiers understood." Saying that, Bai Yulan spoke again, looked at the head, and said slowly: "This ceremony, music, shooting, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics, although the courtiers know some, but they are not very proficient, but they often hear that women, the essence of the girl is red, and the courtiers happen to be slightly interested in this, so they plan to offer this talent and implore the emperor to give the materials needed for the female red." β
The emperor was obviously also a little interested, and said, "Then I will be tired of Madame." β
After speaking, the old emperor's eyes kept circling around her, but fortunately, Ye Mingting deliberately blocked Bai Yulan from time to time, and the old emperor lost his interest.
"Come on, send all the things that the show workshop needs to Mrs. over." The queen commanded her subordinates.
However, after a while, a small platform was set up in this Yujing Villa, which was Bai Yulan's Xiufang Terrace, and Ronghua wanted to make trouble several times, but was blocked by the queen.
Seeing the queen's cold eyes again, Ronghua was unwilling, staring at Bai Yulan on the stage peacefully, eager to use his eyes to get rid of this woman.
Now that her mother is weak, and the queen's mother is there, she can't confront this woman.
I saw Bai Yulan sitting on the high platform for a while, because the time was a little long, so many observers were already impatient to wait and went to play, but Ye Mingting still stared at his wife intently below.
It turned out that when Madame was doing things seriously, she was even more beautiful, Ye Mingting couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Bai Yulan knew that at this time, with the most ordinary handwork, it would definitely not be possible to embroider large-scale embroidery for a while.
She simply chose to leave blank, a large amount of blank, but every stitch and thread was not broken at all, and the thread was broken.
In the evening, the emperor and the palace concubine were having a good time, and they were about to go back to the palace, Ronghua saw Bai Yulan on this platform, and sneered in his heart, couldn't he embroider anything? Just under the guise of letting them come and walk away?
She wouldn't let this woman go.
So, Ronghua stopped the emperor, intending to let this woman come down and make a fool of herself, and Bai Yulan also stood up in the candlelight, supported her tired body, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the embroidery of the courtiers has been completed." β
The emperor was a little surprised, in fact, he still planned to let such a beauty have a step down, so even if it was embroidery, he still agreed, because most of the huge embroidery, it is indeed not a few months, it is not embroidered at all, and the smaller ones are not shocking enough, so after all, it is still a little embarrassing.
"The courtiers are embroidered." Bai Yulan bowed again.
