Volume III-25 The Inheritance of the Jade Gate (I)
The Inheritance of the Jade Gate (Part I)
Chen Bihua said contemptuously: "It's all like him, admitting death, no strategy, so good a jade gate to his hands, decades in exchange for only one Shoucheng, I don't know how to reflect, I can't look down on this, I can't look down on that." ”
Qi Xian sighed helplessly: "That's his Jade Gate's affairs, we can't take care of it." ”
"The mourning family doesn't want to care about it yet, as long as he doesn't toss my evening gaze." The Queen Mother's tone didn't seem to be good.
Qi Xian didn't answer, he just stood there and frowned, this Yu Zhenxiang, maybe he would really toss, but after all, it was his housework, and it was really difficult for outsiders to interfere.
"In his eyes, only Yumen is important, and he has always felt that Yanyan's matter is owed to him by the Tang family, so he is naturally dissatisfied with the granddaughter-in-law arranged for him by Biyan." The Queen Mother continued: "This old guy can only see the little things in his Yumen, so he can't broaden his vision a little. ”
"We can't ask everybody to have a vision." Lord Qi's voice is so soft, Hairpin is a little confused when she hears it, Is this Lord Qi who is in awe of the Great Zhou and the imperial court? I also heard Lord Qi say: "As long as the children we choose have vision, not for their own selfishness, but for the people of the world, so that they can afford to support the world of this big week in the future, it is already fortunate that we can let our wives live a peaceful life, where can we ask for too much." ”
Chen Bihua sighed again: "It's not for one's own selfishness, how easy is it!" Even if these kids do, it's hard to say to the people around them. The two of us have worked hard for so many years, and Bi Yan has pulled the children of the Tang Sect to help, how many of them can follow us all the way down with like-mindedness? ”
Qi Xian also sighed: "It's hard to know yourself in life, if Xinjie and Wan Ning can have the same heart and support each other, it will be considered their luck." ”
"Hopefully, I hope Lao Yan'er can understand this. Don't engage in those crooked ways and waste everyone's energy by messing up some messy women. ”
"Why don't you say hello to Lao Yan'er in the name of the Queen Mother?"
"You still don't know Lao Yan'er's temper?" Chen Bihua was a little helpless: "In his eyes, in his housework, Biyan and I are his opponents." If I interfere, he can't do anything on the surface, and secretly he can't tell what to do, so it's better to let him toss it himself. I believe Xinjie can handle it. ”
Hairpin heard it in a fog, but she still tried her best to remember the word Yumen, and understood that someone wanted to stuff a woman for Tang Sanshao, for some reason, she was secretly a little happy in her heart, she always felt that such a good man should not be exclusive to any woman. She thought about her little caution in a daze, and she didn't hear what the Queen Mother said later. After a while, it seemed that the Queen Mother returned to her desk and talked to Master Qi for a long time. She couldn't hear it, she couldn't understand it, she couldn't remember it. She glanced at the people on duty with the rest of her eyes, and they all stood there like logs, wondering if these people felt the same way as she did when they listened to these nobles say things they didn't understand every day.
In the Aoki Garden, Lian'er put on the lake-blue dress that her husband liked, Yuqin was helping her comb her hair, and Cai'er was straightening the belt of the skirt when Xinjie came in. The skirt is a very pale lake blue on the upper body, and it gets deeper and deeper the further you go down. The belt is a turquoise ribbon. She held her hair in a bun with a silver hairpin encrusted with sapphires, which became the only jewel on her head, echoing her dress. He took the rosewood comb from Yuqin's hand and helped her further secure the bun on top of her head. Add two smaller ones on both sides of the back for further decoration. This set of sandalwood combs is also specially customized for her, the light brown natural tone of the wooden comb and the faint blue-green lines, it looks quite simple and generous.
Cai'er and Yuqin watched from the sidelines, envious, and couldn't help but sigh: "The young master is really good at matching, the young grandmother's dress must be today's Oiran." ”
Wan Ning knew that these two girls were sincere, although Yuqin and Yuling came from Yumen in the south of the Yangtze River, but after they came, they got along well with Cai'er, and their kindness, care and admiration for her were heartfelt.
And Yushu's jealousy and arrogance cannot be concealed, and Wanning often feels a faint unkindness. Yuping, who came with Xinjie with Yushu, although she is not familiar with her, but there is no obvious hostility, just a little strange feeling, and she doesn't care so much about her master's private life, and she doesn't look like she's spying all the time.
The long-term court life made Wanning very sensitive to people's eyes and body language. It's understandable to be jealous because of love, after all, Xinjie is a very attractive man, but why is that contempt from above? Isn't her identity just a handmaiden?
Xinjie was still admiring his masterpiece in the mirror, and Cai'er brought the matching blue ribbon, and he helped her tie up the hair tied at the back with a ribbon. Cai'er brought a matching light blue handkerchief and a small cloth bag that could be carried on her wrist. Yuqin looked at all this obsessively, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this all designed by the young master?" It's fascinating. ”
"Hehe, do you like it? When you get married in the future, let your little son-in-law come to me, and I will teach him. Xinjie is proud of this.
"Why did the young master joke that we were here?" Yuqin blushed.
At this time, I heard Yu Ling's big grinning voice: "People say that the young master and the young grandmother are fairy partners, a match made in heaven." Even if we have a son-in-law who can help us dress up, we don't have the noble temperament and intelligence of a young grandmother. ”
Yu Ling and Yu Ping came in with a tray, and in the tray in Yu Ling's hand were four jars of white ru-porcelain, covered with red silk. This is one of the gifts to Jing'an, Baihuatang's top rosebud bead powder ointment, jasmine powder, potpourri oil and lemon balm with honey locust for shampooing. The yield of these things is very low because the raw materials are carefully selected, and because the flowers are seasonal, it is often difficult to buy them with silver.
The other is a velvet cloak embroidered with peonies, which is made of double-sided fine embroidery, so the cloak can be used on both sides, one is lotus and the other is garnet red. This is the masterpiece of Shi Wuzhen, the foreman of the Baihua Embroidery Workshop in the capital of Baihuatang. Wuzhen turned out to be the descendants of the Shi family, a family of embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River, when Lian'er and Xinjie were working in Hangzhou, they happened to meet her because of widowhood and nothing, and her husband's family calculated the property left by her husband, saying that she stole people and wanted to sink the pig cage, after being rescued by them, she was originally placed in the Baihuatang in Hangzhou, but one was afraid that her husband's family would find trouble again, and the other Lian'er felt that it was opportunistic to talk to her, so she took her to the Baihuatang in the capital, and let her help Baihuatang open the first Baihuatang embroidery workshop in the capital.
Wu Zhen quickly became famous, not only good skills, but also very creative patterns, not old-fashioned, not old-fashioned, every piece of embroidery has vitality. But because of the amount of thought it takes to make each one, she can also produce one or two handmade pieces a month, and the rest is to guide other embroiderers to complete.
Yu Ling said crisply: "Young master and young grandmother, you can take a look at the gifts, if there is nothing to change, we will put it in the car." ”
Wan Ning said: "No need to set the car, let's walk over, it's not very far." Nice sun outside and nice weather. It would be nice to send a car to pick it up in the evening. Yuqin, Yuling, Yuping, you also go to clean up, and Cai'er too, go and dress up. Come with us to Le Yile today, you have been in the capital for some days, and I haven't taken you out to play. Yuping, you go and call the Jade Book, if she wants to go. You guys pack up, Cai'er, you take them directly with the gifts and go over first, and the third brother and I will go over slowly. I'm going to have a good day for you. ”
When a few girls were about to go out, Xinjie also instructed the girl: "Cai'er, bring a cloak to the young grandmother in the past, it will be cold at night." ”
Cai'er responded with a smile: "Yes, young master." "The master has a good relationship, and they are happy as subordinates.
The four little girls went happily.
After the girls retreated, Xinjie took out a letter and sent it to Lian'er: "Yuqiang came to send me a letter for my grandfather." ”
She hesitantly took the letter, and it was a few simple sentences: "Jie'er and my grandson, I know very well that you are eager to enter Beijing that day, and it is inconvenient to stop it. And this matter involves the reputation of Yumen, which is also a last resort. However, this matter is grotesque, I am afraid that it is only a wedge, and I am afraid that there will be a follow-up conspiracy, from now on, all subordinates of Gyeonggi Province in Yumen will be at your disposal. Wang'er returned safely as soon as possible. In addition, the people who are close to my grandson are deeply involved in the royal family, and this matter is quite extensive and unpredictable. Wang'er puts the safety of Yumen and himself first, does not kill anyone, and is cautious and earnest. ”
Although the letter is short, it is enough to show that, first of all, this old Jianghu is very worried about the conspiracy that may occur behind this incident. No matter what his attitude towards Lian'er, but outsiders dare to do something to his grandson's woman, this matter is not simple. This matter involves the honor of the Jade Gate, but it may be more likely to involve the safety of the Jade Gate. Dare to provoke Yumen and Tangmen, there are at least four greatest possibilities, one is that the other party has enough strength to withstand the counterattack of Tangmen and Yumen, or provoke the losses caused by Tangmen Yumen, which can make up for or far less than the benefits that will be brought; Second, the other party may join forces with certain people or forces within the Jade Gate to attack the Jade Master and Xinjie, so that the other party and its internal affairs within the Jade Gate will benefit from it; Third, the other party also wanted to use this incident to weaken and destroy the power of Yumen. Fourth, and perhaps the most important reason, there is an excuse for having a cheating wife to let Yuda take charge of the family and marry another grandson.
