Chapter 109: Preferential treatment
Xia Zitang thought that Xia Yanqing was going to attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet of the Chengjun Mansion in a few days, so he asked: "With these five apprentices and these tools, can you make those glazed bare stones faster?" ”
Anyone who has seen the brilliant light of a refracted gemstone can hardly resist its temptation, and Xia Ke and his son are no exception.
Originally, they only thought that the polished glazed objects could make a few special styles of glazed jewelry. Unexpectedly, the glass particles that Xia Yanqing called bare stones actually had such a gorgeous and dazzling effect.
No, Xia Zitang can't think about it, the chrysanthemum banquet in the Chengjun Palace, if his own sister wears the most dazzling and beautiful jewelry, it will definitely make other ladies envious.
Xia Yanqing didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course, fourth brother, you just wait for our family to make a lot of money and make a fortune in the future." ”
Xia Zitang couldn't cry or laugh, and almost forgot the original intention of what she said, "It's naturally a good thing to be able to make money, but little sister, the tone of your speech has to be changed, this fortune or something is really cheesy, even if you have a little status, you won't say it so bluntly." ”
That's their hypocrisy!
Xia Yanqing rolled his eyes, and agreed insincerely: "Well, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”
Thinking that his sister wearing colorful glass jewelry can amaze all the ladies in the capital, Xia Zitang proposed: "If you let the craftsman take the apprentice to work, can you make a few more grains of glass?" Before September 12, we will entrust Yinlou to use those glazed bare stones to make a glass jewelry, and you will wear it when you go to the Chengjun Palace. ”
He was imagining that after the summer banquet, wearing a set of shining glass jewelry would definitely achieve the effect of shocking everyone.
If someone asks where this rare piece of jewelry came from......
The result is refreshing to think about.
Xia Zitang was beautiful, but Xia Yanqing didn't appreciate it, and immediately looked anxious: "How can that be?!" That's to ...... He who sells silver to make money. ”
She almost said that this thing was used to catch the wrongdoers.
The price of selling glass for diamonds is not a big deal.
It's okay to wear this thing as a diamond fake, but it's okay to wear glass jewelry as a treasure...... I'm sorry, but she's seen hard and pure diamonds, but she can't do it.
After she started a glass workshop and expanded the industry, those who bought glass jewelry in the early stage were expected to vomit blood.
…………
In a blink of an eye, the Double Ninth Festival has passed, which is the day of September 12 and the chrysanthemum banquet in the Chengjun Palace.
Two days in advance, the old house passed the word, and the four sisters went together that day.
Xia Yanqing's clothes and jewelry were chosen by herself.
She knows what kind of situation she is in now, although she reconciled with Wang Xi a few days ago, she was rendered by the Xia family to have some good reputation, and she also has her own small business.
But a countryman is a countryman, in such a short period of time, even if she changes, she will never be regarded as an insider by those so-called celebrities in the capital.
Moreover, what does the county lord of Zhirong mean, she still can't figure it out. Therefore, it is more secure to dress yourself lightly, and strive to be seen by others and forget about it when you turn your head.
Xia Yanqing met the three sisters of Xia Yanrong at the appointed place and went to the Chengjun Mansion together.
The street outside the palace of Chengjun is wide, and there is a large open space, which is convenient for people to come and go. However, due to the large number of guests and servants serving at the chrysanthemum banquet, there was still some congestion, so the carriage of the guests could not enter the county king's mansion immediately.
Many vehicles slow down when they enter the road where the county king's mansion is located, or simply stop and wait for the people of the county king's mansion to guide them.
The carriage of the four Xia sisters entered the traffic, and like the carriages of other ladies, they stopped for the time being, waiting to enter in turn.
But this time it was different from the previous two years, as soon as their carriage stopped, a servant of the royal palace came over to ask: "Dare to ask, but the girl from the Xia University Scholar's Mansion?" ”
The coachman hurriedly said yes.
The servant was an experienced servant, and when he heard the coachman's reply, he hurriedly smiled and said, "The four girls are here, and the little one has been waiting here for a long time." Our county lord has an explanation, the girl of the Xia family is here, and she can enter first. ”
As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted the attention of several nearby carriages and entourage.
It is true that there is a convenient passage for quick access, but that is for guests with special status.
Ordinary visitors can only enter the palace on a first-come, first-served basis, and follow the crowd in turn. Xia family sisters...... Why do they enjoy such preferential treatment?
Xia Yanrong and Xia Ruiqing each brought a maid and sat in the same carriage, and when they heard the words of the people in the palace, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The county lord of Zhirong is not very old, and since she began to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, the Xia family sisters have participated in it every year, and this is the fourth year.
No matter from which point of view, they are very common among the nobles in the capital, and they have been waiting with everyone in previous years, what happened this year?
The two of them were not happy to receive preferential treatment, thinking of the difference this year, and then thinking about the fact that the county lord of Zhirong specially asked them to take care of Xia Yanqing, their faces were not very good-looking.
Xia Yanqing, just a village girl, isn't this a slap in the face of their granddaughter of the Xia clan?
As the three carriages of the Xia family entered the special passage, there was a small commotion among the other waiting vehicles.
The words of the little servant in the county king's mansion were spread by the subordinates of each family, and even the curtains of several carriages were slightly lifted.
Many eyes were bright or dark, staring at the tail of the Xia family's carriage and disappearing into the gate of the Chengjun Palace.
Xia Yanqing didn't know that there were still these rules when she entered the door of the chrysanthemum banquet, she just got off the bus outside the second gate of the county king's mansion, and received two almost harsh glances from Xia Yanrong and Xia Ruiqing.
Xia Yanqing combed his weeping cloud bun today, wore a silver phoenix hairpin, three hollow inlaid silver hairpins, and a pair of silver pearl earrings.
The upper body is a azure jacket, with a light lake green large skirt, and two auspicious cloud pattern jade pendants with a pressed skirt hanging from the waist. The jacket and skirt are plain, with silver jewelry and light-colored jade pendants, the whole person looks light.
Xia Yanqing looked at the two of them, and then looked at the three sisters dressed in flowers, and was surprised.
Why do these two people look so angry? She dresses ordinarily, and she can't steal the limelight from them.
She was still confused, and before she had time to talk to the three of them, a girl with an extraordinary temperament came over with a smile: "Slave Yanxiu has seen three girls, five girls, and six girls." ”
Yanxiu?
Of course the Xia Yanrong sisters know Yan Xiu, the most trusted big girl of the county lord of Zhirong, although she is a girl, she has a better face than many masters.
Yan Xiu came to pick up people in person?
