Chapter 90: Makeup (1)
Bai Lan entered the house hard, a fragrant and warm breath came to her face, a flower in front of her eyes, the beads in the house were green, and the women had their own momentum. When I was flustered, I remembered my eldest brother's advice: Don't be afraid of low status, we are ordinary people. As long as you are generous, not flattering, and not looked down on. So she raised her head, smiled and saluted the girl who looked like the master in the flowers, "Bai Lan has seen Miss Qin. He also said to the other girls, "Today is the first time Bai Lan has seen all the young ladies, if there is any negligence and rudeness, please forgive me." ”
Qin Yu smiled and got up and took her hand and sat beside her: "This is the young lady from Songzhuzhai in the east of the city." Lian Baitang's sister-in-law. ”
Lian Baitang has become famous recently. From a waste of firewood to one of the most talented and promising sons in the city, he has attracted much attention.
Cheng Xuehan smiled sweetly: "Miss Lian's fresh meat mooncakes are delicious!" I ate three of them in one sitting. After saying that, he knew that he was speechless, and stuck out his tongue in laughter.
The girl beside her sneered, "You're embarrassed to say it." Domineering the moon cakes sent by Miss Qin, one person wrapped it round! ”
Bai Lan listened to this voice crisp and soft, and when she saw her appearance clearly, she was extremely amazed. Miss Qin is fairy, but this is the most delicate rose on the branch, beautiful and compelling.
Xue Wu covered her mouth and smiled for a while, before she said to Bai Lan: "Miss Lian is ingenious, Xue Wu will give you more advice in the future." ”
Bai Lan was not flattered, and only smiled: "Miss Cheng is polite." ”
Her gesture of neither humility nor arrogance fell into the eyes of another girl in gorgeous clothes. Compared with the flattering look on the face of the Gao family, the girl who practiced Baitang was much more pleasing to the eye. Xu Ling, the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion, saw it in her eyes and said lightly: "Brother Ling's carving is famous for a while. His sister is not surprisingly dexterous. ”
Xue Han said in a daze: "It's rare, Miss Xu still has a time to praise people." ”
Bai Lan was stunned, and her tone was full of pride: "Miss Xu praises falsely." Bai Lan is not as capable as her brother. ”
Gao Jingwen in the corner stared at Bai Lan with hot eyes: when she just came, Miss Qin was not so affectionate and polite. Not to mention the girl from the Dingguo family, it was just a matter of ice, and it was clearly written on her face that the living should not be approached. In the past, Bai Lan was her follower, and she couldn't even look down on her! was jealous for a while, and asked with a smile: "What kind of expensive makeup gift did Bai Lan give Miss Qin?" Let's see it for a long time! ”
The table is glittering with pearlescent light, and among them is a peach tree carved from old wooden roots, dotted with small peaches made of pink crystal. Bai Lan guessed that it was a gift from the Gao family, and said with a smile: "My family has a thin foundation, and I can't compare to Miss Gao." Placing the box on the table with both hands, "This is a set of gadgets carved by my brother himself, and I want to talk about it." ”
Practice the things carved by Bai Tang himself!
Everyone's eyes were a little hot: you need to know that the set of moon cake molds he carved outside has reached the price of three hundred taels! There is still no market. I wonder what I sent today?
Surrounded by envious and curious eyes, Qin Wu opened the box, and the internal structure that was automatically divided into two layers was already surprising, and when she saw the things inside, everyone felt even more surprised: "Seal? ”
Qin Wu took out a long and wide seal.
The women were shocked, and the bottom of the seal was engraved with a cluster of blooming begonia flowers, and the flower branches were wrapped around the seal, which was very realistic. Qin Wu curiously dipped in red clay and pressed the print, and a cluster of bright and vivid begonias jumped on the paper.
Looking at the other seals, Qin Wu pursed her lips and couldn't stop smiling.
Xue Han was the first to exclaim: "I like this set of zodiac signs, the faces of these livestock are cute no matter how you look at them!" ”
If Bai Tang is here, he will definitely snort twice: he has stolen all the most cartoon and cute animals in his previous life. It's strange that you can't be fascinated by this group of girls.
Xu Ling studied the seal of the character mold, and asked Bai Lan curiously: "What is the use of these character molds?" ”
Bai Lan smiled and said: "These words can be combined into sentences." ”
Xue Wu sighed, and a narrow smile crossed her eyes: "Your brother thinks very far-reaching." ”
Before Qin Wu came back to her senses, there was already a burst of laughter in the room.
Bai Lan didn't feel embarrassed, and said generously, "Pearl and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, Miss Qin probably doesn't lack anything." My brother and I thought about it and decided on this gift. My brother said, I wish Miss Qin and Wei Guogong Qin Se and Ming, a hundred years of good together, and an early birth of a noble son. So this set of pocket engravings was given to Miss Qin's children for enlightenment. ”
What is the highest level of sycophancy?
Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong married his beloved daughter to the descendants of the Confucian family. The congratulatory gifts of hundreds of officials are the same, but the prefect of Shandong Province sent a small golden axe. Qianlong was puzzled, why did he send this thing? The prefect said: This is to smash walnuts for the royal grandson in the future!
Clever, right?
The first sycophant through the ages, this prefect also.
Bai Tang has lived for two lives, and knows that the more expensive the family, the tighter the education of children. The Ming Dynasty is really not enough for him to see. Just a little tinkering, it can surprise people one after another.
Qin Wan's face was as red as a cherry, and the girls' laughter gradually rang out, and she couldn't stop it. As cold as Xu Ling, she couldn't help but smile, and a pair of good-natured and playful beautiful eyes all looked at Qin Ling.
Xue Han was still righteous and stepped forward: "This gift is well given, and it is wonderful!" Miss Lian, can I also make a set? ”
Xue Wu's eyes were slightly open, and there was a hint of jealousy imperceptibly. She covered her lips and chuckled, "Well, that! These sub-things, Xue Han can be prepared!
Hey! The eyes of the women immediately fixed on Xue Han!
There were rumors before that the British duchess and the old lady of the Cheng family had a very happy conversation, is it really as everyone guessed that the Cheng family won the favor of the British duke?
Qin Wu smiled and asked, "Could it be that Xuehan's family affairs have been decided?" ”
Xue Han's face was flushed, and she looked at her cousin who was busy shaking her head and shaking her hands with disgust: "No, no, there is nothing wrong with the eight characters!" ”
Xuewu only bit the handkerchief and smiled, and her posture was particularly charming and moving.
There is no skimming of the eight characters, at least there is a stroke of writing!
"Is it really the prince of England?!" Qin Wu stroked her palms and laughed, "That's the most noble public waiting house in my court!" ”
British Gong Zhang Fu, 30-year-old Wait, 33-year-old Princess. Tianzong is a confidant and favorite general of His Majesty, and his grace is grand. In addition to the national teacher, he was the most trusted by the emperor. It's just that the British Duke followed the emperor to fight in his early years and delayed his family affairs. was nearly forty years old, and gave birth to his eldest son, Zhang Bozhong. The British public chose left and right, and finally somehow took a fancy to the daughter of the Cheng family. It is about that the Zhang family is glorious enough, and they and Wei Guogong, who were born as military generals, have the same thoughts: they should find a famous scholarly daughter to teach future generations. Lest you always be called a martial artist behind your back!
As for how people are chosen, the British duke is also very interesting. He made a list of the official positions of the dynasty, from the six ministries to the five temples, and looked at them one by one. When he saw Taichang Siqing, he slapped his thigh, and he was at home!
Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded: "Why do you like his family?" ”
"This official position is good." The British man stroked his beard, "Taichang Temple, Zhangzong Temple etiquette." Taichang Siqing must be a knowledgeable person, right? The official position of the third grade can also be regarded as a noble family, right? Worthy of me! ”
Mrs. Wang asked blankly, "That's it?" ”
"What else do you want?" The British Duke squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Taichang Siqing's surname is Cheng." I remember that he had several granddaughters in his family. Alas, if my family wants to marry, I will marry the eldest daughter. You go back and find out, no problem, and it's settled! ”
As a result, the Cheng family was dizzy by the pie falling from the sky.
