Chapter 45: The Congratulatory Gift of the Kingdom of Mohan

Talking and laughing, it really came that day. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.БоМ .

Early in the morning, I was picked up from the 'bed' by the master, and at the beginning of the summer, I was happily dressed and changed.

I raised my eyes to look at the sky outside, but the morning was light, and I yawned and said: "Master, I'm just a concubine, not a marriage, you just wear a hairpin for me, what are you doing so early?" ”

"It's not early, but the sky is a little 'overcast', I'm afraid there may be rain today. Besides, in this day, the 'girl' child is only once in a lifetime, how can it be so casual? The master whispered and helped me tidy up my underwear: "The prince of Qi has not yet dawned today, so he got up and opened up inside and out, but you slept sweetly, and the emperor was not in a hurry to die of eunuchs." ”

I closed my eyes, and let Xia Chu and Xiao Xiao 'fiddle' around me: "Is it okay to wear a hairpin, and I can continue to sleep?" ”

Xia Chu was a little funny: "Today the prince invited Mrs. Zhongyong Hou to come to tie the hair for Miss, and Mrs. Qingping waited for the hairpin to make Jiafu, Miss, you are really blessed, I don't know how many people are envious, and you are in the mood to sleep." ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this: "Why did you still alarm the old lady Qingping?" ”

"Silly girl, Qingping waits for the old lady's descendants around her knees, crane age turtle longevity, and the old marquis has been favored all his life, just like your stepmother, she is a blessed person. Who can invite her to preside over and the ceremony, and in the future, they will definitely be able to be blessed and happy, and the husband and wife will be harmonious and beautiful. The master smiled.

I have long heard that there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and there are also fairy couples who are envied by everyone, but if it is about the deep love of the plaice, it must be the 'wife' of Qingping Hou and the loyal and brave marquis. The two marquis are nobles and dignitaries, but they have no other intentions in their lives, and they only favor one wife, which is also a good story in Beijing. Liang Ci specially invited them to preside over and ceremonies for me, which can be described as well-intentioned.

"But master, you promised me to ...... for me personally."

"Qing, the master is clumsy, he can't do such a meticulous errand, he can't even do it well, and he has to fake her. Besides, I'm already a deceased person, and it's not suitable to 'show' my face in public, so I picked the simplest thing to do. After eating the wine-stuffed rice balls cooked by the master for you, it will be sweet and greasy for a lifetime, and the circle will be complete. ”

After the master finished speaking, he took a bowl of sweet and refreshing rice balls from the table and handed it to me: "After a while, I can't eat after painting my makeup, so it's most important to fill my stomach quickly." ”

How could I not understand the master's thoughts, she felt that she was not married to her deceased husband and was lonely all her life, which was ominous, so she didn't want to provoke her bad luck on me again, and insisted on not wanting to give me a ceremony and a ceremony. The old lady of Qingping Hou was afraid that the master also took the initiative to let Liang resign and invite.

I didn't dare to cling to this, because I knew that if I stubbornly insisted on my own opinions, it would definitely remind the master of the sad things in the past and make my heart sad.

I pretended not to care, and commanded, "Go and get my hairpin." ”

Xiao Xiao responded happily: "It's the one you have been talking about the one that your master gave you, right?" ”

I nodded. Xiao Xiao picked out the hairpin from my jewelry box and handed it to me.

"Qing, this hairpin is so shabby, why not change it?" The master rubbed the hairpin and asked me: "This hairpin is a bit unlucky, and the master used to think about it inappropriately." ”

"Where? Master. I turned to look at the master: "This hairpin is a talisman for the apprentice, if it weren't for Guo Gonggong knowing it and helping him repeatedly, the apprentice would have lost his 'life' in the palace long ago." Besides, this is a gift from you to me, and I must carry it on my head today to carry your blessings and happiness to the disciples. ”

The master stopped trying to persuade me, turned his back, and pretended to rummage through the dresser for a comb, his fingertips shaking.

After I finished eating the glutinous rice balls, the sky was bright, and my stepmother sent two grooming grandmothers to come over, bringing me various "colors" of rouge gouache, a meal, until I finished half of the medical book, sat back sore, "legs" pain, and urged again and again, before it was done.

My clothes were prepared by my father in advance and sent to the capital by horse, saying that they were a great gift for me.

Yesterday I was curious about the special 'door' to open and see, the clothes are plain, not the colorful flowing cloud brocade that my Su family is proud of, the 'touch' is not soft, I can't see any texture, non-silk and non-hemp, clean and plain, not even an embroidery texture, anyway, it is not precious, I don't understand why my father said it was a gift for me.

The only thing that is remarkable is that the cut and style of this skirt are novel and unique, with smooth lines, wide sleeves and waist, and a floor-length skirt, worn on the body, although it is not graceful and luxurious, it is better than simple and elegant.

Mama held a bronze mirror in her hand, half kneeling in front of me, I looked through the bronze mirror, pink face and peach cheeks, eyebrows and red 'lips', a little lotus 'flower' makeup between the eyebrows, it really seems to have changed a look, but the overall look is not demonic 'glamorous', rouge and powder are clear and delicate, and there is no trace of deliberate modification. I have long heard that the mamma who is 'fine' in dressing up has a pair of hands that can turn decay into magic.

Outside the courtyard began to gradually become noisy, and the festive voices of congratulations from guests could be heard, one after another, sounding particularly lively.

I turned around in surprise and asked Xia Chu, "Why did Ji Lu invite a lot of guests to watch the ceremony today?" ”

Xia Chu shook his head: "The prince knows that the young lady is unwilling to entertain, and only invited a few old 'friends', who did not expect that so many guests would come." When those people saw the stitches and 'inserted' the needle, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to slip and shoot the horse, if the young lady didn't like it, just ignore it. ”

I stood behind the shadow wall of the courtyard and looked outside, and there were really many strange 'women', dressed as 'flowers', running to the vicinity of the 'flower' garden, chatting and joking together.

The Qiwang Mansion is not big, and there are many congratulatory guests outside, and these 'women' have nowhere to go, so they naturally take advantage of no one to pay attention and come here to hide and clean. Fortunately, they all know the rules and don't move around, so let them go.

The little one came back from the front, pouting, and looking a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, little one, who made us angry?"

When I heard my question, my eyes turned a little red: "The long-tongued 'woman' in the yard who didn't know where it came from, gathered there talking nonsense, pointing to the grass 'medicine' in the yard and saying the cool words of the master back then, and the master heard it, and looked a little sad." ”

"How can this be reasonable, it's okay to come uninvited, and you dare to make my master angry." Not only was I angry: "See if I'm not dumb their mouths." ”

Xia Chu grabbed me: "Miss, today is your day, so let's spare them for the time being, right?" I asked the housekeeper to kick them out of the backyard. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a panic shouting outside, and several ladies scattered in panic, so frightened that the 'flower' lost its 'color', and the temples were crooked, and they fled in a moment.

Just when I was startled, I saw the insect in a fiery red narrow sleeve long skirt, swaggering in from the front.

I couldn't help but laugh "poof", I didn't have to ask, and I knew what was going on. These 'women' are also a little less courageous, and a few insects can be scared to the point of 'urine', as for it?

The insect clapped his hands proudly, tilted his head and smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that today is your day and I'm afraid of rushing to joy, I will definitely shut up those annoying 'women'." ”

Then he stared at him with round eyes and said in surprise: "Sister Qing, you are so beautiful today!" ”

I looked myself up and down and shrugged my shoulders, "Good worms have to be honest and don't say things against their will." ”

The insect smiled playfully: "Sister Qing is always arrogant, not at all like the one in the mouth of the crazy stone." ”

I just remembered that I had just offended him, and I must not have any good words in my mouth: "Say, what nonsense is he talking about again?" ”

The insect counted with his fingers: "He said that you have four most attractive things, that is, the confidence on your face, the wisdom that flashes in your eyes, the strength engraved in your bones, and the kindness that fills your heart. ”

I shook my arms exaggeratedly: "Should these few sour compliments be regarded as my courtesy, this brother is also a little stingy." ”

The insect took my hand and left: "You made a fortune today, Sister Qing, the congratulatory gifts in front have been piled up into a small mountain." My aunt called me to call you, saying that the auspicious time was coming, and everyone was waiting for you. ”

Xia Chu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "Worm girl, it's better to be steady." In front of everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be unseemly for you to let our young lady trot out all the way? ”

The insect let go of his hand embarrassedly: "I forgot about it when I was excited." ”

Everyone laughed and went to the front yard, and there were already many people in the yard, most of whom were unfamiliar faces. When they saw me, they all cooperated with the 'dew' to show a surprised and 'glamorous' expression, exaggerated admiration.

I didn't squint, walked straight to the old lady and my stepmother in Qingping, respectfully bowed, greeted a few words, looked around, but I didn't see the master, and I couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

My stepmother seemed to understand my thoughts, and leaned closer and whispered to comfort: "Lord Qi went to invite your master, but it may not be convenient for her to 'show' her face in Xiyue, you have to understand." ”

I nodded, naturally understanding the master's difficulties.

"The envoy of Mohan asks to see Miss Eleven, and I would like to offer a congratulatory gift, congratulating Miss Eleven on her longevity and eternal life!"

A loud singing was sung at the entrance of the big 'gate', the crowd flashed away, and the messengers with Mohan costumes entered side by side, and respectfully presented the gift box in their hands to me: "I, the Holy Lord of Mohan, take my Mohan Treasure Snow Wolf Bead as Miss Eleven and a congratulatory gift, the Holy Lord has heavy state affairs and cannot get out, and tells Miss Eleven to wear the Snow Wolf Bead with her, which can protect the poison from invasion and worry free at the age of 100." ”

The crowd exclaimed, and there was a lot of discussion, and it seemed to be fried in an instant.

Of course, I know about Snow Wolf Beads. Legend has it that Mohan once had a generation of lords who fell in love with a 'girl' son of Chang'an, and she was sincere and asked to marry as a concubine. Because of the cold climate in Mohan, the 'girl' of Chang'an could not adapt to such harsh weather, so she often contracted diseases and became thinner and thinner.

The lord of the country heard that there was a group of blue-eyed snow wolves living on the highest snow-capped mountain, and on the night of the full moon, they would howl at the moon, and spit out clouds of blue light, which were snow wolf beads, and there was also a legend that the snow wolf absorbed the inner pill of the sun and the moon's 'essence' Hua cultivation. Long-term wearing of snow wolf beads can protect the body's health, wind evil does not invade, and poison does not soak.
