Chapter 7 The Warring States Long-tongued Woman 5
"Madam, it's a big deal!" Mrs. Zhao's eldest maid, Linghua, hurried over.
"What's going on? Your face is so pale. Mrs. Zhao frowned.
"Madam, just now the slave and the steward went to the house to get the jade according to your instructions, but after opening the box, there was nothing in it, could it be ......?"
Mrs. Zhao was shocked, covered her chest with one hand, supported the wall with the other, and said in a low voice: "Check it for me, you ask Uncle Wang to fence the house, and once you find someone with suspicious deeds, you will immediately arrest someone for me." ”
Linghua bowed her head, and was just about to withdraw, when a trace of doubt suddenly flashed on Mrs. Zhao's face, she waved her hand and said, "Linghua, come back." ”
"Maybe I have a bad memory, Hanging Li is not in the box...... A few days ago, he asked the adults to ask for the piece of jade to watch, he didn't have a weight in his hands and feet, and the adults didn't promise him, yesterday, he asked me for the piece of jade, seeing that he was sincere, I gave him the jade, these days there are many things, I forgot to ask for it back. Mrs. Zhao said.
That being said, in fact, Mrs. Zhao did not lend the jade to Zhao Slip, she and Zhao Wei both valued the beautiful jade, and Zhao Slip begged for it a lot, and she only showed him a glance.
Zhao Slip's little bastard has too many criminal records, and Mrs. Zhao suspects that he 'takes it without asking', and she doesn't want to publicize her son's bad reputation as a 'family thief', so she only says that Zhao Slip 'borrowed' and left.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhao asked again, "Where is Hua'er now?" ”
"Slippery Gongzi, Qu Gongzi, and Jin Gongzi are at the pot throwing pavilion, and the winner has not yet been decided." A handmaiden replied.
Mrs. Zhao nodded, turned her head and said to Zheng Sleeve: "Sister, you dress up first, and then go to the front hall to discuss the matter." With that, he hurried away with a group of servants.
Zheng Sleeve's foundation is good, her skin is as tender as tofu, she is smart, her lips are red without dotting, and the maid didn't help her apply white powder to her face.
In this era, white is also beautiful, women use corn or beam rice to grind into fine powder, sink in cold water to ferment and rot, wash away the acid, and then put it into a round powder bowl, put it in the sun to dry, and the dried powder is used to coat the face.
The woman's beauty-loving nature is really strong, and the cosmetics on the case are full of cinnabar, wicker carbon, hair wax, lip grease...... Almost all of the cosmetics that can be seen in modern times have their original versions here.
"It's the first time I've seen a girl with such a sign." Little Lori who helped her comb her hair sighed.
No matter who it is, it will be in a good mood if it is praised, Zheng Sleeve smiled and asked, "Lin'er, how long have you been in the house?" ”
Half a month ago, Zheng Sleeve was taken back to the house by Zhaoxi, and he didn't have time to get familiar with the people and things in the house.
"It's been five years." In modern times, Lin Er, who is still a primary school student, has gotten rid of childishness.
Zheng Sleeve looked at herself in the mirror and sighed silently, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old in the mirror, if she was in modern times, she was still in high school, why was she going to get married here?
She thought about it blindly, and after a few minutes, she finished dressing up and followed Lin Er to the front hall.
The umbrella of this era is called '禦', which is a symbol of honor and power, and the monarch holds the umbrella by a special person regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, heat and cold, and it is not often found in ordinary powerful homes.
The sun is poisonous, and Zheng Sleeve is worried that his delicate skin will be sunburned, so he walks quickly.
Lin Er, the little girl, also has a strong sense of skin care, and when she saw that there was no one around, she also had the courage, covered her face with her sleeves, and ran quickly.
She ran in front, Zheng Sleeve in the back.
"Ahh The little maid's painful sound came.
"Ahh The man's cry of pain.
"Why don't you look at the road, little girl? Reckless! ”
Zheng Sleeve looked ahead, and saw a young man's figure, vague, unable to see his face clearly, but he was dressed luxuriously, thinking that it was a certain noble son.
Mrs. Zhao has passed the age of not being confused, so she has to Zhao slip, the only son.
coincided with today's banquet for Zhao Slip, Zheng Sleeve guessed in his heart that he was Zhao Slip's friend, so he stepped forward quickly.
"Brother Shang, why do you have to speak so harshly, quick, don't stick here, our pot throwing game is not over yet!" Another young man's voice.
"Have you found someone to replace Hui Ran?"
At this time, Zheng Sleeve had already approached, and those people heard the sound of ringing and jingling, and they all looked over.
"His face is delicate, his eyes are bright, and his steps are like flying...... Presumably it must be Zheng Sleeve girl, at first glance she is a top-class player in pitching pots, we set up a banquet in the pitching pavilion, would you like to try it with us? Jin Shang's eyes lit up, his figure flashed, and he came to Zheng Sleeve, with expectation and hope in his bright eyes.
"Nonsense!" Another young man also came over, saluted Zheng Sleeve, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Zheng, I offended you, and I'll drag him away." With that, he dragged Jin Shang and left.
Jin Shang's legs were firmly planted on the ground like nails, he ignored the young man's movements, stared straight at Zheng Sleeve, and said, "I saw that your bones were amazing, different from everyone else, have you ever played pitching pots?" ”
To tell the truth, this is the first time in my life that this girl has heard of it.
She shook her head honestly, Jin Shang showed disappointment, and said: "Ah, you are so boring, ...... same as those young ladies"
"You're boring!" Zheng Sleeve subconsciously responded.
"Everyone says that Zheng Di is a talented woman, but now when I look at it, I know that the rumors are wrong!" Jin Shang saw that her little face had become angry pufferfish, and he was proud, and said: "The fairy concubine in Huiran's mouth is only ......."
Before he could finish speaking, another young man covered his mouth and shouted, "Miss Zheng, be rude! Xiao Sheng dragged him down and came back another day to make amends! ”
"Where's the pitcher kiosk? It's just that I'm very idle right now, so why not have a play? Zheng Sleeve's expression was leisurely, and a flame had ignited in his heart.
This little kid dares to look down on me, a new human being from the 21st century, who is unbearable!
Hum! When it comes to playing games, when it comes to luck, I haven't lost anyone!
……
The honor team of Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai, came to Ling Yin's mansion in a mighty way.
He sat in the carriage, and along the way, the shouts of the people from outside the car, the sound of playing the sheng, drumming, playing the piano and other sounds were mixed together, and Xiong Huai gradually felt comfortable.
The country under his rule is extremely rich, the army is extremely large, the population is extremely large, and his country is the most powerful!
At that time, King Wei Huiwen, King Qi Xuan and other mortal enemies knelt in front of his palace obediently and shouted: "Long live the king!" ”
He held the little hand of the goddess of Wushan and enjoyed the congratulations of ten thousand people together.
However, the dream was soon shattered.
In a trance, the goddess's body gradually became hazy, her eyes were full of tears, and she said sadly: "Maharaja, I'm leaving." ”
Eventually, she turned into a colorful auspicious cloud and floated into the sky.
"Concubine." He was startled and came to his senses.
"Maharaja, the Yin Mansion has arrived." Said the people outside.
