Chapter 221: Jin Fan
According to Yu Zhiwei, Suzhou Street is the boundary where the masters of the palace paint cakes to satisfy their hunger and "experience the suffering of the people". Suzhou Street is a trading street built on both sides of the Houhu Lake in imitation of Suzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There are all kinds of shops on the shore, such as jade antique shops, silk shops, dim sum shops, tea houses, gold and silver jewelry shops, and so on. The only difference from the real Suzhou is that the "merchants" who do business in it are all palace people and chamberlains.
The master in the palace has never seen the scenery outside, but although Yu Zhiwei has never been to the boundaries of Suzhou, Jiangnan, he grew up in the market, and he listens to the sound of buying and selling every day, and his ears can be calloused. Even if "art comes from life and is higher than life", for Yu Zhiwei, this kind of fake drama really makes her uninterested.
Could it be that she can really be the wronged leader, go and spend a lot of money on this Suzhou street, and buy things that are only worth a few dollars in the market?
It's impossible to think about.
Yu Zhiwei walked on this Suzhou street with a sting, just to join in the fun, just to see it and not buy it. I think that the palace attendants in this palace will not really be as scoundrels as the kind of small businessmen in the market, and they have to buy and sell things when they pick them up.
Yu Zhiwei was looking at the hairpin in a small waiter's stall, and it seemed that it should be mulberry silk wrapped in flowers. The nobles who came today are all dressed in luminous clothes, either white silk jackets or white silk skirts, and those who don't know can't tell whose daughter it is, so they have to call all the girls: "Does the girl like it?" The slave and maid will tell you that these are all made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they can't be bought outside. ”
The things made by the Internal Affairs Office, Yu Zhiwei has used a lot, and it is not uncommon to have such a one, but probably to kill time, Yu Zhiwei took the magenta crab claw chrysanthemum in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Is there a begonia?" ”
The little waiter was busy rummaging for Yu Zhiwei: "Yes, yes, girl, wait a while, I'll find it for the girl." ”
The little chamberlain was busy churning things, and Yu Zhiwei heard a sound beside him.
Supposedly, there were people everywhere, and it was not surprising that there were footsteps, but this footstep was clearly directed towards him.
Yu Zhiwei counted one, two, three silently in her heart, and decided to turn around, not only who came, but she also had to call others sisters with a smile on her face.
"Ah, this is not ......" The smile on Yu Zhiwei's face was like a rehearsal, no more than a little bit on her face, this was what she learned from Xia Jinfan back then, but she didn't expect it to be the main owner of this "Xia's signature smile", "It turned out to be Sister Xia." ”
Xia Jinfan didn't follow her sister-in-law Xia Jinxu - the father of the Xia sisters' sisters is just a fourth-grade Guozi priest wine, and the concubine is worth enough compared with Yu Zhiwei, not to mention a concubine, she should not be qualified to enter the competition circle of "one queen and two concubines". However, the little girl is one year younger than Yu Zhiwei, and the family should be preparing for the little emperor's draft in three years.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiwei showed a little sly light from under her unsmiling smile. The sisters of the Xia family were all born at the wrong time, and in order to stuff their daughters into the palace, they forcibly dragged all their daughters into "old girls".
Xia Jinfan also followed the custom of the luminous clothes of the Shangyuan Festival, wearing a white silk jacket with a vertical collar and a placket, and a goose yellow skirt with a very light color. This dress makes her whole person look plain but fairy. Yu Zhiwei hummed in his heart, and sure enough, "If you want to be pretty, you must be filial".
Xia Jinfan is seventeen years old, and his appearance is still that light and delicate, and he has added a bit of grace, but the sharp edge of Danqing's long eyebrows in the painting is gone, and all the-for-tat arrogance is contained in the peak of the eyebrows.
But Yu Zhiwei is not Wuxia Ameng back then, she happily stepped forward and grabbed Xia Jinfan's hand: "Sister Xia, we haven't seen each other for many years, and it's all because I've been busy running around in the past few years, but I have forgotten all the sisters I know well." ”
Xia Jinfan didn't expect Yu Zhiwei to be so enthusiastic, and was a little surprised at first, but soon dispatched a signature Xia smile to come out, shook Yu Zhiwei back, and then pulled his hand away: "The county lord is worried about the emperor, unlike a few of us who are not successful, we will cause trouble for our parents at home." ”
While the two were talking, the little waiter who was looking for Yu Zhiwei to wrap flowers with begonias finally turned things out, and said to Yu Zhiwei with a happy face: "Girl, I found it!" This color is bright, does the girl like it or not? ”
Yu Zhiwei took the tangled flowers and felt that the color was very beautiful, just like the begonia flowers in the Shizifu in spring.
She held the tangled flowers of the begonia, as if she was very happy: "When we were still at my house, my sister still remembered, we also had a poetry club, and the first topic was begonia." ”
Xia Jinfan smiled at her very quietly: "Of course I remember, it wasn't the original Miss Chen, the county lord and me, and they won the first place that time." ”
"yes, how can you not remember." Yu Zhiwei said a few words to Xia Jinfan, and then turned his head and instructed the little waiter who sold entwined flowers, "I want crab claw chrysanthemum and begonia." ”
Selling things on Suzhou Street, giving money is similar to rewarding, the little chamberlain happily took Yu Zhiwei's money, and heard Yu Zhiwei command: "Just separate the bag." ”
The little waiter wrapped the two entwined flowers and handed them to Yu Zhiwei: "The girl has taken it, come back next time!" ”
Yu Zhiwei grinned, pulled Xia Jinfan's hand over again, and put the crab claw chrysanthemum wrapped by the little waiter into her hand: "It's all some girl's household gadgets, I have a fate today, and I met my sister again, so I will give this thing to my sister." ”
Xia Jinfan's face changed slightly.
Xia Jinfan is neither a birthday nor a housewarming to get married, this gift for no reason makes people look like a "reward".
Especially someone like her, who is arrogant.
Yu Zhiwei handed the things to her, turned around and was about to leave with a stunned sting: "Sister play slowly, I am used to shopping in the market, I am tired of these things, so I won't accompany Sister Xia." ”
Yu Zhiwei's foot strength is different from other ladies, she walks fast, and she can only keep up with her by trotting all the way behind. As she ran, she asked in a low voice, "County Lord, what does this Xia Jinfan mean by coming here?" How do you send her something back? "Shocking was one of the people who saw the conflict between Yu Zhiwei and Xia Jinfan, and knew that these two were definitely not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.
"I don't know what she's doing here." Yu Zhiwei raised the corners of his eyebrows, "Anyway, your county lord and I will repay you." ”
