Chapter 217: Tea Ceremony

On this day, before I woke up, I was dug up from the bed by Poria Cocos, for no other reason, today is the big day for the new young grandmother to serve tea.

Recently, the princess of the county has been particularly sleepy, waking up half an hour later than usual in the morning, but today is a bit special.

Although the princess of the county is also special, she doesn't have to be a second young grandmother, but after all, she still lives under the same roof, and she still feels that it is inappropriate not to give face when she looks up and does not look down.

No, after Yao's mother and Zheng's mother argued for a while, Yao's mother had the upper hand, so Poria woke up Zhiwan.

Freshen up and dress up, this dress is extraordinarily exquisite, Zhiwan is still the princess of the county, but the princess of Huihe is a new wife, she can't steal her limelight, but she can't let the princess of the county lose her brilliance.

Therefore, after dressing up, Zhiwanmei is like a budding hibiscus, and like an orchid blooming in the hollow valley, the beauty is thrilling.

But the little belly is very pregnant, no matter how beautiful the makeup is, the second thing everyone sees is her belly, in Zhiwan's words, she is blind and wears makeup for a quarter of an hour.

Yao's mother smiled, "When the princess of the county gave birth to the little princess and the little princess, her belly was only so big for three months, isn't this a twin too?" ”

Zhiwan touched her bulging belly and said with a smile, "How can there be such a great blessing to give birth to twins in a row, and it would be good to have one." ”

Mother Zheng said with a smile, "That's not for sure, the slave maid looks at the blessings of the princess of the county, and ten or eight blessed people can't compare." ”

Zhiwan was happy to listen. "Then thank you Mama Zheng for your kind words."

After breakfast, Zhiwan went to the main courtyard, except for her. Everyone has arrived, of course, Ye Shizhan and Huihe County Lord have not arrived yet.

After a tiring day, plus the joy of the cave room, you should snooze a little.

At yesterday's wedding banquet, Zhiwan, as a sister-in-law, naturally also attended. After drinking a glass of rice wine, he returned to Linmoxuan. Because she was pregnant, no one said she shouldn't.

As soon as she entered the door, several wives asked her with concern if she was serious about her happiness these days, and Zhiwan replied with a smile. "Thank you for the care of a few aunts, the child is quite well-behaved, not too noisy."

The princess, the eldest wife, and the third wife are fine, only the fourth wife's smiling face is a little hesitant, but since Ye Guiyue's identity was revealed, she has been polite and polite to Zhiwan, as for the awkwardness, it is still because of the identity of the prince.

None of these things had anything to do with her, though. She is very good at holding grudges, as long as she doesn't give her unpleasantness, she will never take the initiative to provoke others.

After greeting the princess. sat down in the first position of the princess, took two sips of tea, and a little maid came in outside to say, "The second young master and the county lord are here." ”

Before the words fell, everyone raised their eyes and saw Hui and the county lord and Ye Shizhan walking in side by side.

The county lord of Huihe was dressed in a cherry-colored embroidered skirt with folded branches. There is also a magpie on it, and on its head is a ruby headdress. Luxurious but elegant, graceful steps, swaying posture, blushing face, like March peach blossoms, and like drunk.

Ye Shizhan was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, his face was full of spring breeze, and he walked with the wind.

It's really a talented woman, a match made in heaven.

Listening to everyone's praise and amazing eyes, the face of the county lord of Huihe was even more red, like a red apple, which made people want to take a bite.

The prince is not there, as long as he respects the princess's tea, the princess rewarded a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets and a red envelope, I don't know how much silver is in it.

No one asked, and no one said that the princess favored Hui and the county lord, and the meeting gift she gave was heavier than the one that was sent to Zhizhi later, no matter how much there was in a red envelope, it was only a thousand taels of silver tickets, and the princess of the county had a water side, and she put your one thousand taels of silver tickets in her eyes?

Next, Mrs. Jingda, come one by one, except for the elders, the following is Zhiwan.

The county lord of Huihe sent a golden hairpin to Zhiwan, and said a little embarrassed, "I know that it is my sister-in-law on the water side, and the first face of the headdress is excellent in terms of style and handwork, and the sister-in-law is not short of headdresses, this is just a hairpin given to me by my grandmother, sister-in-law, don't dislike it." ”

The golden hairpin in the brocade box is extremely beautiful, and the pearls on it are round without a trace of flaw, and he said with a smile, "Such hairpins are rare, how can I dislike them, thank you to the county lord." ”

After drinking tea, Zhiwan gave her meeting gift to the county lord of Huihe, and the eyes of the county lord of Huihe lit up.

Zhiwan's gift is a bracelet, a hollow flower and bird bracelet, inlaid with eight rubies, worth a lot of money, she has seen it in the Pujia Pavilion, this bracelet is worth 1,500 taels, it is the most expensive bracelet in the Pujia Pavilion, ordinary people go to the Pujia Pavilion, they can't help but look at it twice, put it for two months, no one is willing to buy it at all.

I didn't expect it to be given to her as a meeting gift, Hui and the county lord hurriedly shirked it, Zhiwan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "This bracelet also looks beautiful, in fact, it can't be sold at all, and the shopkeeper's dislike occupies a position, so he sent it to me, are you disgusted?" ”

Zhiwan, there are too many people gasping in the house, this bracelet will not be sold, but the price is too high, people are reluctant, who is willing to spend 1,500 taels to buy a bracelet, the dislike of the shopkeeper of the Pujia Pavilion occupies the place, isn't this said to attract hatred, as long as it is reduced by two hundred taels, they are sure that it will not take two hours to sell it!

Zhiwan said this, how could the county lord of Huihe be embarrassed to refuse, accepted it with a red face, and blessed his body to give Ye Jiaoshu a gift.

Soon the tea ceremony passed, and the eldest lady talked about business, that is, Ye Yunshu's marriage was imminent, and six days later, the house was decorated with lights, and those red satins did not need to be taken off, so as not to hang them up again when they got it.

The princess smiled, "It's been sunny in the last few days, as long as it doesn't rain, it's okay to hang the red silk, but the prince is out on the expedition, and the girls in the house have to marry three or four, and welcome three or four more, and the changes are too great." ”

The eldest lady touched her nose with a handkerchief, looked at the princess and said with a smile, "The prince is out on a campaign, and I don't know when I will come back, I think the prince can come back, and Yun Ji will look better on the face, but she is old, and I am afraid that I will stay here and end up as an enemy." ”

Ye Yunshu is married to the second son of the Hou Mansion of Sheng'an, he is very motivated, he won the move at a young age, and the eldest wife is very satisfied with this family business.

The young master of the four-room girl is young, there is no happy event to do, the other three rooms are full of joy, the princess is worried about Ye Jiaoji, I don't know when the king of Chengjun will come back from the war, I am looking forward to his achievements, but also worried that he is in danger on the battlefield, very contradictory, and Ye Jiaoshu will be sixteen years old in less than half a year, and the princess is anxious.

I can't wait for King Chengjun to come back first, end the family affair, and be the same as Zhiwan, wait for Ye Jiaoshu to be pregnant before going to the battlefield, so that Ye Jiaojun will not have to wronged herself to take a concubine for King Chengjun.

A few days later, Ye Yunshu got married lively, and before getting married, Zhiwan also gave her a bracelet, although it was not as expensive as the exquisite and expensive one given to the county lord of Huihe, and it cost six hundred taels of silver to sell it in the Pujia Pavilion.

One winter, there were three more younger siblings in the house and three sisters-in-law were married.

Zhiwan sent out six bracelets.

Zhiwan decided to give a bracelet for makeup and meeting gifts in the future.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhiwan's belly is also five months old, sitting in the house, watching the snow outside the window, dancing and falling in the air.

Chen'er Si'er is also a big circle, as long as she is awake, she will say yes and no, and she doesn't know what to say, sometimes she will accompany them to follow her at night, you can't understand me, and I can't understand you, so it's a very pleasant exchange.

A group of maids holding their bellies and laughing.

It's just that after her belly is big, Yao's mother is not allowed to hold Zhiwan's dust, for fear that they will kick Zhiwan's stomach with their feet, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it.

Holding the stove, Zhiwan looked at the joyful dust Si'er who was crawling on the couch in the house, and his eyes were full of smiles.

There is a stove under the couch, and a brocade blanket is spread on it, so that the two children will not freeze.

Bai Shao took the embroidery basket over, the embroidery basket was not needlework, but wool, first roasted the fire, and then looked at Zhiwan and said, "The princess of the county, the shopkeeper of the Su family also sent someone to say that the wool in the shop is in short supply." ”

Poria closed half of the window, came over and smiled, "That's natural, wool is cheap, and the clothes made are warm, who is not rare, in this winter, it is much easier to nest in the house to make wool than embroidery needlework." ”

Zhiwan was eating sour fruits, and the marigold outside opened the curtain and came in and said, "Princess Jun, the shopkeeper on the water side has something to report." ”

Zhiwan was stunned, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, Poria helped her to get off the bed, Chen'er saw her go, smashed the wooden board with the wave drum in her hand, and protested, Zhiwan looked back at him, "Be obedient, my mother will come back in a while." ”

The answer is still yes, oh oh, I don't know whether to agree or disagree.

There was a charcoal fire in the main room, it was warm, and the shopkeeper was drinking tea, and when he saw Zhiwan, he got up and saluted, and Zhiwan nodded with a smile, "Is there anything that the manager can't get an idea to ask me?" ”

The chief manager didn't dare to look directly at An Rong, and replied, "The grassland envoy sent a letter to the water side, saying that it has snowed heavily on the grassland this year, and a lot of cattle and sheep have frozen to death. ”

Zhiwan thought it was something, just this thing, "Sell, why don't you sell, I remember that there is a coal mine near the border, which is made nearby and sent to the grassland." ”

The chief manager was a little hesitant, "Now that the border pass battle has been reported again and again, it is estimated how long it will take, and the Southern Shun and Northern Qi will sue for peace, it is difficult to ensure that the imperial court does not have the idea of sending troops to the grassland, don't you ask the imperial court?" ”

Zhiwan twisted his eyebrows, "The grassland borrowed 30,000 troops to Dayue, if the imperial court sent troops to the grassland, it would inevitably be said to be ungrateful, and the emperor would not leave a handle for people, don't worry." ”

When the chief got the letter, he retired.

This winter, although the war was raging, the soldiers of Dayue were happy, there were enough charcoal pipes, and there were spirits to warm up, while the southern Shun and Northern Qi were much colder, and even the officers and soldiers froze to death.

The prince often rewarded them with fine wine, and then when he was full of wine and food, he went to attack the enemy soldiers, and the enemy was really miserable, and some soldiers had already come up with the idea of retreating and seeking peace. (To be continued)
