The dust settled

I shook my head vigorously: "No, you are very good, you are also qualified." It's just that your fate is not enough, it's Qin Luoxue, it's him who has no luck. ”

"It's not that there is no blessing, but it's not that he doesn't, it's that I don't."

Yun Kang pursed his lips, looked up at the sky, and said quietly: "Just like you said, in this life, it is not easy to meet the person you like, and it is also difficult to find someone who pleases you. Actually, I've encountered it, although I can't stay there until I get old, it's better than never having it. I'm not so greedy, and when I meet him, he's protected me for so many years, and I'm already very content. ”

"Yun Xiaowu......" I opened my mouth in tears, and this call made her the first to cry.

She stared at the window, deliberately suppressed, and smiled. Stir the phoenix crown flower feather at will, spit out clearly, and said jokingly: "Everyone in the world is the same, afraid of pain and death, afraid of injury and afraid of disaster, and so do I." I'm most afraid of bitterness, I'm afraid of not having sugar to eat, I ate too much bitterness in my early years, and my tongue is woody, so I don't want to taste that taste again. Even if you hadn't persuaded me, I would have figured it out a long time ago. I want to live a good life, do whatever I want, and live for myself. ”

Yun Kang blinked, tears slid down his cheeks to his pointed chin, and ticked down the back of his hand: "As for the little grandfather, it's not that he bears me, but that we are really not a good match." Thanks to him, he reads me and protects me; Thanks to him, I have been happy for many years. I don't blame him, and he doesn't feel sorry for me. I'm just sorry, sorry I didn't get it. I feel that lovesickness is useless, so it is better to give it up. Isn't it us who wrote it, the result was set early in the morning, and it took so long to find out. Since then, he and I have really been in pairs, and we can't go back. Some people miss it, or they miss it for the rest of their lives. I also wish him a good fate, Zhilan Mao for a thousand years, and Qin Sele for a hundred years. ”

She suddenly said, "Lacking, do you have sugar lotus seeds?"

I shook my head, "No." How do you think of asking sugar lotus seeds? ”

She touched the small box she was holding in her arms and said softly: "My mother told me that if you eat sugar lotus seeds, your mouth will be sweet, and your heart will not be bitter." Now, I'd love to eat one. ”

I immediately got up: "Then I'll go find it for you."

She stretched out her hand to hold me down, smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, if there are no sugar lotus seeds, I look at you the same, you are as sweet as sugar lotus seeds." ”

It's rare that she can still joke.

The footsteps in front of the door sounded, and it was the Annunciation Mama who was hurrying forward. Three or four people poured in, each holding a tray of the same color in their hands, with a fan on the plate, a lotus flower and a jade ruyi. Seeing me, the leading grandmother took the lead in greeting: "Princess Jing is wearing up."

The rest of the people also bowed.

Then he said to Yunkang: "The eldest lady sent me to come and pass the word, so that the fifth lady can prepare early, and the welcoming team will come from time to time." After speaking, he stepped forward with the tray and gently put it on the table, then carefully opened the box on the tray, and took out a white jade box from it and handed it to Yun Kang.

Another grandmother stepped forward and handed the fan on her plate to Yun Kang, asking her to cover her face. The leading grandmother wiped her hands dry, and then picked up the phoenix crown and put it on Yunkang's head, and took out a few golden hairpins to fix it.

After putting on the phoenix crown, Mama asked in a low voice: "Is the strength too heavy, does it hurt the girl?" ”

Yun Kang shook his head and said, "There is Mama Lao, her strength is acceptable, and she is not injured." ”

When Yunkang got up, the bridal grandmother hurriedly reached out to help, I automatically retreated to make way for the spacious road, Yunkang smiled at me, and then said humbly: "There is Princess Lao."

I was stunned, if it weren't for someone else on my side, I would definitely tease her.

Mama asked Yunkang to turn around in a circle, to check if there was anything wrong with the way to tie the clothes and belts, and to see that everything was in order, she congratulated lovingly: ""The girl is really bright and moving today, and the new aunt will be happy when she sees it." Another grandmother hurriedly added: "The flowers are blooming and the case is prosperous, the girl and the aunt are really a match made in heaven."

Yoon-kang smiled, but didn't answer.

This idiot, he doesn't even understand this? People say auspicious words, which means that you will give a reward.

Alas, she didn't think about it. I untied my purse, pulled out a handful of broken silver, and was about to generously serve her one by one. The crowd was amazed at my actions, and quickly raised their hands to stop me, shaking their heads like rattles.

I looked at Yun Kang and said, "Aren't they just asking for rewards when they say good things?" Do I want to give them money? ”

Yun Kang pursed his lips and smiled, "I want to give the reward, and you don't want to give it."

I said generously: "I know that you should give it, but I don't see that you don't pay for it, for fear that people will say that you are stingy." Don't be polite to me, our relationship is like this, and it's the same for me to give it for you. ”

Yunkang was helpless, looking at me with tears and laughter.

The grandmother on the side laughed loudly: "The princess doesn't know, this Nanzhan custom to say auspicious words on the wedding day to ask for money, the new aunt will give the reward, and the bride does not need it." The slaves and maids just said auspicious words, just to bless my girl, but not to ask for money. ”

Me: "......"

I see.

On the day I got married, why didn't anyone tell me I didn't need to tip? I have a lot of money, but I can give a lot of money.

I feel so sorry for me.

——

On this day, the palace came to spread that the concubine Niangniang specially invited the female family members of the clan to go to Qingle Palace to order tea for the flowers, and specially instructed that there must be me among them, and I must not excuse myself.

Today's concubine naturally refers to Tingsheng. Anyone who knows that Tingsheng lived a living in the past, all are surprised, who would have expected that the famous lady of the flower building who was once a master of color and art has become a concubine who favors the crown of the six palaces. I don't mean to look down on her, but she is indeed very skillful. After only three or four years in the palace, he was able to climb to a height that others could not reach in his life, and he quickly became the head of the harem, even when Tao Guifei was still alive, she was also defeated by her. At her age, she has such a method, and it is rare for people to discuss and speculate about what is so good about her. No matter how beautiful the beauty is, it will also decline Aichi, Rao is beauty is still the same, one day, the emperor will no longer be novel, like Tingsheng, who is favored and undiminished, in the harem of a hundred flowers, it is really rare, Nandi is still sick, she dares to hold a banquet with great fanfare? But since she dared to do this, she must have acquiesced to Nandi.

There is no queen in the harem of the Southern Emperor, and the highest rank is the concubine, who deals with the affairs of the three palaces and six courtyards, which is the silkworm ceremony, which is also presided over by the concubine. In the past, when Tao Guifei was here, her favorite thing was to hold a small banquet to contact the women and relatives of various clans, once a month, or once every three months, not frequent, but not less. Since Tao Guifei fell into power, there were few celebrations in the palace, and now Tingsheng has become a concubine, and she has also learned Tao Guifei's style.

Tingsheng had a banquet for the first time, it was very troublesome, and the people who were invited to the palace for the banquet were all female dependents as always, and the difference from the past was that there were a lot more people invited this time. Whether they have already left the cabinet or are still waiting to be married, all the noble daughters of officials above the fifth grade seem to have come, and there are more than 100 people. Tingsheng's first banquet was so big, and so many people were invited, didn't she want to recognize all the officials and relatives at once?

I followed the small yellow gate around to Qingle Palace, where all the female relatives converged.

In front of Qingle Palace, it has been filled with all kinds of flowers moved from the flower garden, and the celadon red pottery is full of flowers, delicate and gorgeous. Among the flowers, the women who are scattered and stand are more beautiful to appreciate. Graceful, graceful, still or moving, standing or sitting, it is really beautiful and delicious.

I was in the crowd, and at a glance I saw Yunkang sitting in the corner, and when I looked not far away, I could find a trace of Ankang. Because she was both newlyweds, her clothes and accessories were still festive crimson, and the green was very eye-catching. Yunkang is as light as an orchid, does not like to be lively, sits on the stone bench with a fan in his hand, his eyes are calm, staring at a jasmine plant carefully, Zhan Lu stands behind her, the two sometimes talk, talk and laugh, quiet like a painting.

On the other hand, Ankang is enthusiastic and good at human feelings, basically talking about wherever she goes, and this is also the case at the moment. I don't know what interesting things she and the young woman next to her are talking about, which makes the lady laugh, she laughs, and An Kang also laughs with her, and the two cover their mouths and laugh together, completely ignoring the image.

Duobu whispered behind me, "Why don't you go over and say hello?"

I nodded, walked up, and only took a foot away, but Sheng Yunjiang, who suddenly appeared, stopped me.

I don't know where she came from, and she immediately blocked in front of me, and saluted: "Please princess."

This worship actually made me a little overwhelmed. In the past, she was very accustomed to pretending not to see me, that is, she had to salute, and she bowed down at will from a distance, and she was as enthusiastic as she is today, and she deliberately ran in front of me to say goodbye, which is really unusual.

I smiled lightly and said politely, "Don't be polite, get up quickly." Where has Sister Sheng been these days, I rarely see you, how are you lately? ”

"Thanks to the princess's blessing, Yunjiang is all right. It's rare to see it on weekdays, it's not where it goes, but Yun Jiang rarely goes out, and she works hard at home to practice female red embroidery, so she rarely meets the princess. ”

"That's the case, then there is time, my sister can often go out for a walk, and contact her former friends more. I still have something to do, so I won't talk to Sister Sheng more. ”

I bowed my head and said I was about to leave, and I taught her to stop, I didn't know why, and said with a smile: "Sister Sheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Sheng Yunjiang smiled and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you say a few more words?"

I didn't speak, I walked to the stone table and sat down, patted the position next to me gently, and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask Sister Sheng to sit down, let's have a cup of tea and talk at the same time, what do you think?" ”

She shook her head and said, "This is not a good place to talk. It's better to ask the princess to move the lotus step, follow me to find a quiet place, and then it's not too late. ”

I didn't want to have too much time with her, so I smiled stiffly and said bluntly: "If you have anything to say here, it's the same." Since you don't say it, it doesn't matter if you think about it, so don't listen. Then I'll go first. ”

When the words fell, I got up and wanted to leave, but she once again blocked my way, and said, "I think the princess will be interested in my words."
