Chapter 263: Reward Jewelry
Weiqi's old father thought that the family would cut off the incense, but he didn't expect to add another boy in the year of not being confused, and the child became the old father's treasure, Weiqi also saved all the monthly money for the younger brother, hoping that he would come to read and write, and in the future, he would be able to change the fate of the whole family.
"You and I are both people who have lost loved ones, and now I really feel the pain in your heart." Ning Zhixuan saw that Weiqi's eyes were red, and comforted her, "But people can't be resurrected after death, and blindly being sad is not half beneficial to the deceased, only by enduring the pain in your heart and hibernating, can you have the opportunity to hit the target with one blow in the coming day and avenge your dead relatives!" β
Although Weiqi was a palace maid in the past, she was also able to read and write words, and she naturally understood what Ning Zhiwen said and thought clearly, so she replied: "The slave and maid understand, they must be tempted to endure and wait for a while." β
Ning Zhiyun explained that the little maid was optimistic about the door and then took Wei Qi out, and Wei Qi, who was following Ning Zhiyun, suddenly became obscure when his eyes touched Ning Zhiyun's back.
When Ning Zhiyun went downstairs and came to the courtyard, she saw that Ning Wanran was already waiting in the courtyard, wearing the goose-yellow embroidered Luo shirt specially prepared for her by Ning Zhiyun, and below was a pearl-white crepe skirt, and her face was also slightly powdered, and the jet-black three thousand hair stranded part of it and tied a flowing cloud bun on the side, and the rest was scattered behind her, and it was like a flowing waterfall in the sun, although it was the posture of a small jasper, it was tranquil and lovely.
"Second sister." Ning Wanran had always been shy, and when she saw Ning Zhiyun staring at her, she blushed her cheeks and lowered her head.
"It's not too early, let's go to the gate of the house and wait." Ning Zhiwen knew that the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace was seen by the imperial concubine in Ning Banghua's face, so she deliberately promoted the sisters of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and allowed the sisters in the mansion to go together.
As Ning Zhixuan expected, when she and Ning Wanran came to the gate of the mansion, Lu Cui and the little maids had been waiting there in advance, but they didn't see Ning Banghua.
"The slave maid has seen the second lady and the fifth miss." Seeing Ning Zhixuan and Ning Wanran walking over, Yu Cui hurriedly bent down and saluted, "The second miss is the first one to arrive today, and the hairpin ring jewelry that our eldest lady distributed to all the young ladies was naturally selected by the second lady first." β
When Lu Cui's voice fell, there was a little maid who presented the mahogany lacquer plate to Ning Zhiyun, and the water on it was all exquisite hairpin ring jewelry, with warm color and excellent texture, and it was an object in the palace at a glance, which must have been rewarded to Ning Banghua by the imperial concubine on weekdays.
Ning Wanran was a little unsure of Ning Wanhua's intentions, so she asked timidly: "Does the eldest sister mean to reward us with jewelry?" β
"Such hairpin ring jewelry, the imperial concubine gave us a lot, and the young lady thought about sharing it with the sisters." The little maid beside Lu Cui glanced at Ning Wanran, who had a childish face, and said with contempt in her eyes, "Speaking of which, our eldest lady is also concerned about the face of the entire Zuo Xiangfu, thinking that the ladies are not often in the palace to walk around, I don't know what is in vogue in the palace now, lest others will look down on our Zuo Xiangfu because of this, so I want to give some hairpin ring jewelry to the young ladies." β
Ning Wanran was already thin-skinned, and now he was ridiculed by the people around Ning Wanhua, his face was already red to the base of his neck, if he followed Ning Zhiyun's past temperament, he would definitely make that slave who looked down on people with dog's eyes unable to eat and walk around, but things are always prioritized, and now the marriage between Ning Wanran and Yuan Qingxuan is the most important thing at present, so he endured it and didn't make the little girl look good.
"It's so lively! Is my sister late and missing any excitement? Ning Xinyu said and walked over to this side, for today's chrysanthemum feast, she deliberately chose a smoke yarn Bixia skirt embroidered with large begonia flowers, if it is only embroidered with large begonias, it will inevitably be too ostentatious.
Ning Xinyu's ingenious thinking about today's skirt is that although it is embroidered with a large begonia flower, it is a red thread interwoven with silver thread embroidered begonia flowers.
Ning Xinyu's current clothes are just like hers, although she is ambitious, she can't replace Ning Banghua, but she hides her restless thoughts halfway, that is, even the Bai family has noticed that Ning Xinyu, who is not visible on weekdays, is secretly harboring evil intentions.
"Third Miss came just in time." Lu Cui looked at Ning Xinyu, who had always been good friends with Ning Banghua, and said, "My young lady saw that she was going to enter the palace for a banquet today, so she specially distributed the hairpin ring jewelry given by the imperial concubine to all the young ladies on weekdays." "Lu Cui has escaped death several times, and now she is no longer as frivolous as the little maid next to her.
"These hairpin rings of the eldest sister must be given by the imperial concubine on weekdays, right?" Ning Xinyu looked at the boxes full of hairpin ring jewelry, and pretended to be envious and said, "The things in the palace are just different, and I haven't even seen some of them." β
Ning Zhiwen looked at Ning Xinyu with a flattering face towards Ning Banghua, and sneered in her heart, but with a light smile on her face: "Big sister's things are really rare and good things." As he spoke, he casually took out a bracelet from the wooden box and put it on his wrist.
Ning Xinyu saw that Ning Zhiyu had chosen a jasper bracelet, so she also chose a string of coral bracelets and put them on her wrists.
Ning Wanran saw that Ning Zhiyun and Ning Xinyu had their own jewelry, so she also casually chose a gemstone hairpin from the Lanmu box and inserted it into the bun.
Just after the three of them chose their favorite jewelry, Ning Banghua was surrounded by a group of maids and walked over, she was wearing the snow smoke silk rewarded by the previous imperial concubine, last time because she didn't want to be too eye-catching in the Anguo Mansion, and chose to abandon it, and now she naturally wants to dominate the crowd at the chrysanthemum banquet.
"Say hello to my big sister." Ning Xinyu had already walked over and warmly grabbed Ning Banghua's arm and said, "Big sister's real body Xue Yanya is really good-looking, and she will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd at the chrysanthemum banquet and add glory to our Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." β
Ning Banghua's clothes today really took a lot of thought, the big peony wears a pattern of gold thread dense embroidery, and the wide skirt with a large phoenix flower lock edge is also embroidered on the ground, which is luxurious but not kitsch. The three thousand waterfall hair is pulled into a flying fairy bun, and a red gold step is inserted obliquely on the head, and the whole person is also dazzling and glorious.
"Say hello to my big sister." After Ning Xinyu, Ning Zhiyun and Ning Wanran walked forward side by side and saluted.
"The hour is not early, if there is anything to say on the carriage, if the hour is missed, it will not be good." Ning Banghua walked past the two of them with a look of arrogance, and did not forget to glance at her fiercely when she passed by Ning Zhixuan.
Ning Xinyu followed behind Ning Banghua step by step, originally wanted to follow Ning Banghua to the car, but was stopped by Lu Cui, only to hear Lu Cui lower her voice and say: "Miss didn't sleep well last night, I want to take a break in the carriage, and the third miss is afraid that it will be inconvenient to follow." β
Ning Xinyu saw that Ning Banghua had eaten a closed door at Ning Banghua's side, so she wanted to turn her head and stammer Ning Zhiyun, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Ning Zhiyu and Ning Wanran stepping on a low stool and getting into the carriage.
"Miss, the slave will help you into the carriage." Yu Wei saw that Ning Xinyu was empty at both ends, so she had to help her board her carriage.
"Miss, the eldest lady has such a big shelf now, and she doesn't want to share a car with the young lady." Yu Wei knew that the rhetoric that she didn't sleep well at night was just a pretext, and looking at Ning Banghua's red face, it didn't seem like she didn't sleep well at night.
"It's good to know that you know to hide it in your heart, so don't say it, lest others hear it." Ning Xinyu glanced at Yu Wei, and there was a warning in her eyes.
Seeing the warning in Ning Xinyu's eyes, Yu Wei hurriedly responded: "The slave knows, don't dare next time." β
Ning Xinyu saw that Yu Wei had admitted her mistake, so she no longer held on to it, but changed the topic and said, "Yu Wei, who do you think is more like a concubine, the eldest sister or the second sister?" β
Yu Wei hesitated and didn't know whether to tell the truth, and subconsciously avoided the important and said lightly: "The eldest lady is gorgeous, and the second lady is natural." β
"Even you can see that the eldest sister is inferior to the second sister except for her beauty, and the rest are inferior to the second sister." Ning Xinyu broke the truth that Yuwei hid in her heart in one sentence.
"The eldest lady is beautiful, and her speech and demeanor are also noble to the young lady of the family, but the slave always feels that if you just look at the eldest lady, she is indeed considered to be temperamental, but if compared to the natural demeanor between the eyebrows and eyes of the second lady, the eldest lady is still slightly inferior after all."
Although Ning Banghua can also read and break words, he is not as good as Ning Zhiyun's full reading of poetry and books, although Ning Banghua has danced, people are inevitably clichΓ©d, and they are not as good as Ning Zhihua in two lives, and they have long been beyond the shackles of the world. Words and deeds are naturally a little more noble.
"The eldest sister has the support of her mother and the support of the imperial concubine, but the second sister can still make a draw with her, which shows that the second sister is indeed better than the eldest sister."
"Miss Fei wants to turn around and join the second miss?"
"The second sister has the talent to not let the eyebrows be shaved, but she still can't fight the destiny of heaven." Ning Xinyu continued to analyze, "If the Ye family is still alive, the second sister may still be able to fight with the eldest sister, but now the second sister is alone, but there is a strong family behind the eldest sister to rely on. β
"Miss is very right." Yu Wei also followed Ning Xinyu's words and said, "Miss's beauty is not inferior to that of the eldest lady, and her scheming is far better than that of the eldest lady, but she is just dragged down by her identity as a concubine." β
