Chapter 13: Doubts
For the eighth day of the first lunar month, and for the money to build a house, Gui Mingyue and the Yu family prepared intensively.
Gui Mingyue asked Yu for a box containing thin silver sheets, gilt sheets, and gold and silver filaments, and put them in his room, saying that it was to see the material and draw patterns, but in fact it was to improve their quality.
In order to make jewelry for the Yu family with peace of mind, Aunt Zhuang was automatically responsible for the meals of the two families. Zhuang Jumping and Gui Cheng Qi went back and forth as errands.
For this year's selection, Gui Hongyuan also went to the yamen to be on duty during the New Year's Festival, and even went home. The rest of the men focused on the jasmine fields in Hayama.
The current silver is not enough to buy too much gold, silver, copper and tin, so Gui Mingyue thought about making only some small and delicate ornaments first, such as earrings, rings, flowers, etc.
In addition to the previous jasmine, four-leaf clover, star, and junying grass, the style of Baoxiang flowers, water droplets, and daisies has been added. And the style of the ring, people here wear either the kind of large gem-inlaid pure gold and silver rings, or a simple silver ring without style, Gui Mingyue is ready to make some hollow pattern light rings, suitable for young girls to wear.
"Is this also a ring? It's so beautiful. Gui Jingxue pointed to a crown-shaped ring pattern and said.
"Yes, this shape can be made into a ring, and it can also be made into a crown." It's a pity that the materials are limited now, and the idea of making a crown will have to wait until later.
"This carved plum blossom pattern is also beautiful, can you draw some peony patterns in Yue'er, I like peonies." Today's Gui Jingxue can often say a few more words to Gui Mingyue, unlike before, she didn't take this sister with an average temperament and a very likable personality in her eyes at all.
"Yes, if you have a peony flower, you don't need to hollow it out inside, you can make it into the shape of a flower directly in the middle, like this,......" Gui Mingyue said as she drew the pattern.
"It's so beautiful, Yue'er, you're really ingenious." It is rare for Gui Jingxue to praise others.
Ahem, Gui Mingyue touched her nose, it was really flattering to be praised by this proud sister.
"If my sister likes it, I'll give you the first peony ring I made." Return to the bright moon and return the favor.
"Really?! Then I'll help you sharpen your ink. "For such beautiful little jewelry, how can a girl not like it. Gui Jingxue was overjoyed.
Yu Shi was also relieved to see the rare warm and intimate scene of this sister.
As for this flower, it is most suitable for making flowers and butterflies of all colors. The style of the flowers is easy to do, Gui Mingyue did not paint ordinary begonias, plum blossoms, and peach blossoms, but painted a few fan-shaped acacia flowers, multi-petaled cherry blossoms and roses, and finally painted a few starry stars.
What Gui Mingyue didn't know was that every time she painted one, Gui Jingxue was shocked on the side, and felt more and more that the sister in front of her was completely different from the person before.
Although there are doubts in my heart, but Gui Jingxue is young and a girl, and when she sees such a beautiful style that she has never seen before, she is more amazing and likes.
Yu was not unimpressed by Gui Mingyue's unexpected thoughts, and when he talked to Gui Hongyuan at night, Gui Hongyuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Do you remember the situation when they were born." ”
Yu unconsciously recalled the scene of that day:
On that day, the second daughter was born, and it was also the birth of the most noble prince of the dynasty. On the one hand, he was born in a small courtyard by the mountains in Xinye County, and on the other hand, he was born in the inner courtyard of the magnificent palace, which had nothing to do with it.
And Chery also appeared in the sky above the Guifu under the mountain, but it was not an auspicious dragon cloud, just a small golden-purple cloud in the shape of a begonia flower, but this was enough to shock the neighbors, Gui Hongyuan was shocked and scared outside the delivery room, lest he give birth to some evil rebel offending Tianwei, until the midwife came out to say goodbye, saying that it was a pair of daughters, Gui Hongyuan was relieved, and then he was overjoyed, and the neighbors were also envious and happy.
At this time, an enlightened monk came to the side of the road, and it was approved that one of these two daughters must be born in this auspicious way, which is different from the life of ordinary people's great wealth and nobility. Gui Hongyuan asked which woman it was, but the enlightened monk refused to answer.
Later, after the second daughter grew up, the eldest daughter Jingxue was smart and generous, with a dignified bearing, compared to the second daughter Gui Mingyue, her qualifications were slightly inferior. At the beginning, everyone thought that this person with a rich and noble personality must be Gui Jingxue, and even she thought so.
Now it seems that it is not certain which person this personality refers to...... Gui Hongyuan muttered.
