Chapter 272: The Pearl Appreciation Banquet
It was late at night.
Honeysuckle quietly pulled the fire of the small stove smaller, warmed a pot of water, if the little lady got up at night, she would not drink cold water.
After everything was tidied up, she crept to her feet, walked to the bedside, removed the curtain from the copper hook, and gently covered it.
In the room, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
When Honeysuckle closed the door, his hand paused slightly, sighed in his heart, and walked to the courtyard, "Mama, go back and rest, the second lady rested in our house, I can go to the night here, and I will come back early in the morning." ”
One is to reassure Ah Mei, so he speaks boldly; In order to reassure Sister A, she lied to her and said that she was relieved; In the end, no one was reassured, and no one fell asleep.
Mama Fang glanced at the closed door with a somewhat complicated expression, and nodded, "I've worked hard for you over there, I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”
……
For several days, the city of Tokyo was silent.
This is because of Qingming, and secondly, Zheng Wangfu is rebelling, and the streets are full of people who are arrested, and most of the ordinary people do not hide at home, for fear of getting into trouble.
It wasn't until the queen mother's post came down and the pearl feast was set that the capital regained its vitality and became lively again.
Xie Jingyi has been so busy these days that his feet don't touch the ground, and there is no news from Hei Yuwei's side, but after the east wind of the pearl feast, Yiyifang can't make a lot of money.
Although no one said it explicitly, everyone who could go knew that this was the queen mother's intention to expand the harem for the official family, and the time had come to soar to the sky.
It's time for profiteering!
Xie Jingyi made a lot of money, and when he sat in the carriage entering the palace, he hummed a little tune!
Xie Jingyin, who was sitting on the side, moved his neck uncomfortably, "Sannan, do you think I can not wear this hairpin?" My grandfather was so real, the hairpin was so heavy that my neck was about to break. ”
Xie Jingyi looked up and was immediately happy.
"It's like a dog's tail grass stuck in her head, I also said that A-Niang was too nervous, but she was very stubborn, for fear that you would be underestimated, so she almost didn't ask someone to string the gold ingots with a rope and give you earrings!"
Xie Jingyin couldn't help but touch his earlobe, "Then don't you miss my ears!" ”
As she spoke, she decisively took off the golden hairpin on her head, handed it to Mama Fang and told her to put it away, and shook her neck again, and the whole person seemed to be lighter.
The hairpin on Xie Jingyin's head is an orchid bell hairpin, with fine workmanship, and the dense flower bells are lifelike, and even the lines of the petals and leaves can be seen clearly.
Although it is only pure gold and is not inlaid with jade, the method of striking gold alone is enough to make it worthy of the words "extraordinary". This is the most exquisite one of the eight dowries that Zhai's father gave her when she got married.
It's a pity that Xie Baolin has always been a small county order, and when Zhai was young, he didn't wear it once. Now that he is old, he is too eye-catching to wear it, so he took it out of the warehouse today and stuck it on Xie Jingyin's head.
Xie Jingyi looked at the missing piece of her head, which seemed a little empty, shook the whole step on her head, ripped it off, and inserted it on Xie Jingyin's head.
Xie Jingyin stretched out his hand and touched it, and couldn't help but say, "Then aren't you too plain?" ”
Xie Jingyi waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm all the ones who have made a marriage, even if I wear a broken sack, no one will take care of it, Chai Er will also go, who dares to underestimate me?" ”
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the palace gate, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, Xie Jingyi saw Chai Youchen waiting there.
He was wearing a brand-new light blue brocade robe today, with a hairband of the same color, which rarely brought a youthful spirit. On weekdays, he is always dressed in black, with a coffin face, and if you don't look at the face carefully, you think he is already thirty years old.
There were a lot of little ladies who came, and many people got off the carriage at the moment, waiting for the palace people to lead, and when they saw Chai Youchen coming up, they all quietly looked over.
Xie Jingyi nodded at Chai Youchen, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain, "Second sister." ”
Xie Jingyin straightened the corners of her skirt, and Mama Fang's teachings echoed in her mind, and got out of the carriage with a smile, to be elegant and decent, to stretch your neck, to raise your chin, to take big steps, not to walk loudly, and most importantly, not to gnaw peas anytime and anywhere!
It's frustrating!
Xie Jingyi looked at her pretending, and twitched the corners of her mouth speechlessly, she could pretend for a while, and she could pretend for a lifetime? She dared to pack a ticket, and within a stick of incense, the big beauty in front of her would be revealed......
No matter how Xie Jingyi disagreed, the other little ladies around him all gasped.
After Xie Jingyin came to the capital, most of them squatted at home, even when they went out, they didn't dress up seriously, they were very low-key, although the good name was faintly spread, but most of the people who came here saw her for the first time.
This glance was like a nail, and I couldn't take my eyes off.
The palace man who came to lead the way was stunned at first, and then bent down deeply, "It's the little lady of the Xie family, and come with the old slave, it only rained two days ago, be careful of the slippery road." ”
Xie Jingyin hummed softly, "There is Mama Lao." ”
With this face, as long as she is not stupid enough to break through the sky, if she enters the palace gate, she must not be an unknown person.
"Yingying, Yingying, don't look at it, let's go."
Xie Jingyi listened to this name, looked over, and saw a little lady who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a red face, looking at Xie Jingyin with an obsessive face, and she didn't even notice that the handkerchief fell to the ground.
Beside her, a round-faced, very festive girl was tugging at her sleeve anxiously, and the palace people who led the way had already walked forward, and if they didn't follow, they would not be able to chase after them.
"Here, here, here, my veil has fallen." The man named Jiying picked up the handkerchief on the ground and walked forward quickly. Although he walked in a hurry, he did not panic at all.
Xie Jingyi frowned slightly, and glanced at Chai Youchen, she knew this little lady, her name was Gao Yongying, and she would be the concubine in the future.
In her previous life, Xie Jingyi didn't have any ill feelings towards her, and even felt that there were many concubines in the palace, and it was not a good thing to spread the branches and leaves for the little emperor. But now that Xie Jingyin is about to enter the palace, she is like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, no matter how she looks at it, she hopes that he is not close to women, of course, her own daughters are not among women.
A flowery wolf cub! What a wage!
Xie Jingyi saw that Xie Jingyin was so calm, quietly took a step back, and followed her, Chai Youchen on the side waited, and only moved his feet when Xie Jingyi came to her.
"You also wore a blue dress today, which looks good."
"Bang!" There was a loud bang ahead.
Chai Youchen raised his head unhappily, only to see that the palace man who led the way, I don't know why he fell, a donkey rolled over, and said with a wry smile, "The two little ladies of the Xie family who called Chai Yushi laughed when they saw it, the road was a little slippery, and the road was a little slippery." ”
