Chapter 59: What a big cash cow
I was confused, I didn't know what my mother meant, but instead of scolding me, how could she make me dress up or anything?
I heard that my mother has always taught my 'daughter' to be strict, and even if I play the wrong tune when playing the piano, I will be punished, not to mention that I was ridiculously drunk yesterday, and when I came, Xuan'er repeatedly told me in my ear, if my mother reprimanded, just listen, but don't talk back, otherwise there will be greater suffering to suffer. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . I've been waiting with some trepidation for the storm to come. How could she pass the test so easily, or did she have something to do today, ready to settle accounts after the autumn?
Instead of hanging the knife on the head, hiding but not hair, it is better to have a good time, and after the rain, the sky will be clear, and you will be safe.
Turning her head slightly sideways, looking at the green in front of her, there was a touch of joy between her eyebrows and eyes, which was beyond words. Seeing that I was looking at her, I tried to straighten out the expression on my face, and I should be glad that I was able to escape punishment.
When I returned to the yard, I naturally didn't care, my head was still a little uncomfortable, I was faintly aching, groggy, and I didn't have any appetite, so I leaned on the side of the 'bed', took a book, and picked up the salt and plum left over from yesterday to eat.
Before I could read two lines of the book, Aunt Jiu broke into the house in a hurry, pulled me up from the 'bed', and told Xuan'er and a few people to hurry up and get some hot water to come in. Then I opened my cage and rummaged through it, picking out a few new styles and slightly expensive and gorgeous skirts, and threw me all over the 'bed'. They carefully compared them to me one by one, and threw them back again if they did not agree.
Seeing Xuan'er stunned by her side, she urged her to quickly pick out a few decent pieces of jewelry and match them one by one.
Xuan'er was a little puzzled, and asked Aunt Jiu what style and color of clothes she wore with, whether they were gorgeous or plain, and what kind of occasion they were suitable for.
Aunt Jiu patted her forehead, and she was a little anxious: "Look at how anxious I am, I haven't seen what kind of expensive and dazzling clothes people have, how can your vulgar things here get into the eyes of others, or it is more appropriate to choose some beautiful and refined clothes, and it is also suitable for your temperament." β
He bent down again to rummage through my cage, scrambling around.
Aunt Nine has always been soft in nature, and it is rare to see her in such a hurry. I slumped on the 'bed', wrinkled my brows, and said with a bitter face: "What are you going to do, do you want me to dress up to participate in the beauty pageant?" β
"Beauty pageant? It's a lot more important than a beauty pageant. Aunt Jiu became more and more excited, found an excuse to be thirsty and sent Xuan'er out, turned back to me and said, "Amitabha, Qingwu, your opportunity has finally arrived." β
I lifted my eyelids and glanced at her, but closed my eyes uninterested. I just felt that my head was going to be loud by her.
Seeing that I was silent, Aunt Nine approached and said mysteriously, "This is the news that I have seen a sign of 'flowering' from your mother with a pair of gilded bracelets.
Do you know that this time someone came to the Hou Ye's Mansion in Beijing, not only came with the comprador steward in the house, but also brought a grandmother who used to be an errand in the palace, and now she is a first-class celebrity in front of the old Hou Ye and his wife.
Your mother deliberately dressed up today, that is, she would have a banquet with your grandmother at noon, and it is very likely that she will arrange for you and Qingqing to go over to say goodbye, this intention is obvious.
That grandmother came all the way to Yangzhou City with her, it must be to see you, and she may have already selected a powerful family in Beijing. Seeing that your mother is so attentive, the other party will definitely be rich and rich.
Qingwu, you can't miss the opportunity, you must fight for your aunt today! β
The uncontrollable 'agitation' and excitement between the words, even the breathing was obviously short, and the silk hairpins in the hairpins were slightly trembling.
I reluctantly pulled the quilt over and covered my body: "If I really go to the capital, thousands of miles away from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future, leaving you alone in this cold Su Mansion, living alone, what's the good?" β
Aunt Nine tugged at the quilt on my body, I clenched it hard, but she still didn't give up: "My life is good, that's it." At most, you will be touched with some light, raise your eyebrows, be feared by the people in the house, and have a good death. I just don't worry about you, I hope you can marry well, have a stiffer waist, don't be like your aunt, live a life with patience, you don't need to worry about your aunt. β
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears crackled like beads with broken threads. Thinking of the almost cruel control of Qingqing by the fourth aunt who told me about it yesterday, I felt that my aunt was really good to me, and I couldn't bear it, so I had no choice but to sit up, pay attention to what was going on outside, and said to Aunt Nine word by word:
"If my mother wants to send me to the deep palace compound that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, like you, and fights for the 'sex' of countless 'women' for a man who is the most unkind in the world, aunt, are you still willing?"
Aunt Nine was stunned for a moment, and asked me suspiciously how I knew. So I told her about my father's plans. and told her not to spread the word until the dust settled.
Aunt Jiu was silent for a long time, her face was full of hope and joy, and the 'agitation' gradually subsided, replaced by the depression of disillusionment and the desolation of Gu Ying's self-pity. Then he got up and folded the clothes that had been turned out of the cage one by one, carefully and solemnly, and put them back neatly.
I couldn't bear it, and called in a low voice: "Auntie? β
She stiffened, was silent for a moment, turned her back to me, and said to me gloomily without looking back: "Even if it is a favored concubine, it is just to bring supreme glory to the Su family." In that deep palace, it is not the same as my aunt, I need to swallow my anger and live tremblingly. Qingwu, my aunt just hopes that you can live a better life in the future, but she will never force you, you just make your own decisions. β
The back looks extraordinarily thin.
The barrier between me and Aunt Nine has completely disappeared these days, and I finally saw the shadow of the master on her body, I couldn't help but get out of the 'bed' barefoot, and tightly encircled her in my arms from behind, and whispered softly and glutinously in her ear: "Auntie, Qingwu just wants to stay here, accompany you, accompany the master, for a lifetime." β
Then hot tears dripped down my aunt's face and burned my hands.
Before lunch, the girl in front of my mother came to my yard and passed on my mother's message, so that I could clean up and go to my grandmother's yard.
Xuan'er was also affected by the previous Aunt Jiu, so she became extremely nervous and cautious, and tossed out rouge gouache to dress me up.
I told Xuan'er to apply the gouache and rouge thickly, until the powder puff fell when she laughed. The depictions are exaggerated, and the original appearance is not the best. Then dress me up with all the hairpin ring jewelry, jewelry, the more cheesy and dazzling, the better.
Xuan'er was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she hesitated to start with the puff dipped in peach 'flower' powder in her hand, and begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Miss, you spare the slave maid, if I really dress you up like that ghost, won't the old lady open my ass 'flower'?" β
I think it's true, I'm not afraid of being punished, but how can I bear to drag them down. I can only think of another way, and it is best to be able to leave no traces.
In the end, I only picked a vulgar "glamorous" peach-colored "wipe" chest embroidered peony skirt to wear, but the lower body was equipped with an emerald green colorful butterfly play 'flower' skirt, and the hairpin on the head was a thousand leaves to save gold peony jewelry, and a gold leaf 'flower' was pasted, which pressed my head more and more painfully.
I looked up and down at the bronze mirror, and I felt quite satisfied, red with green, stupid, not to mention the most conspicuous peach and willow green, so 'spring' full of meaning, indescribably weird.
When I came to the front yard, Qingqing was already waiting at the 'door', which was completely different from me, she was dressed very plain today, wearing an apricot 'flower' pink and white 'color' gauze that was not stained with fine dust, and the same 'color' yarn, and the slender waist was not full of a hand, which looked pitiful.
It's just that the face is 'covered' with two layers of light veils of the same 'color', only the apricot eyes of Yu Dai's eyebrows are 'exposed' outside, and a few red 'color' spots are faintly visible on the originally smooth forehead.
"Sister Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" I stepped forward and took her hand, only to find that her 'jade'-like wrists and even arms were densely covered with this red spot.
She hurriedly put down the sleeves I pulled up, and her eyes were already full of 'desire' crying: "I don't know, it's fine when I get up early, but after eating breakfast for a while, I feel that my body is very itchy, and when I look in the mirror, my face is full of this kind of red spots, how can I see people?" β
I looked at her face carefully, and the red spots were dense and scattered, and they were different from the symptoms of the poison I had put in the 'jade' bottle: "But what inappropriate things have you eaten and are allergic?" β
Qingqing shook her head: "No, today's breakfast is no different from usual, I only drank a bowl of mushroom 'chicken' porridge and ate two assorted vegetarian buns, all of which are food in the big kitchen." β
"Then you can ask the doctor to see it, have you returned to your mother to know?"
Qingqing frowned slightly at two curved willow eyebrows, and her eyes were already filled with hazy moisture: "I haven't seen the doctor yet, so I listened to my mother's summons and came here." The 'jade' phoenix has already gone to her mother to return to her. Qingwu, you say, will I not get better, I have been like this all the time? β
I rolled up her sleeves a little, took her soft, slender hand, and put my fingertips on her wrist to check her pulse. The abnormality of the pulse is not the usual allergy, but a more common poisonous 'flower' pollen poisoning, named "Po Sa".
I comforted Qingqing and said, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just ordinary 'pollen' poisoning, and it can be eliminated in two days at most." If you are in a hurry, find some purslane juice to take a bath, and you will be cured on the same day. β
Qingqing grabbed my hand and nervously strained a little: "Really? Thankfully, it scared me to death, I've already secretly cried myself in the house, scared to death. β
Suddenly, I heard a ring behind me, and a fragrant wind came to my nose first. I sneeze in extreme discomfort, then turned around and instantly petrified the spot.
What a big cash cow!
It was Qingyin who came from Nana behind her, and she was still dressed in a gorgeous and flamboyant 'sex' dress, but it was more and more exaggerated. Dressed in the Su family's homemade mulberry silk brocade triple palace clothes, cumbersome and "gorgeous" gold thread peony "medicine" embroidery, on the head, the body is covered with dazzling agate jade gold ornaments, facing the sun, like a golden cash tree, shaking so that I can't open my eyes.
Her face was obviously carefully coated with peach 'flower' powder, and her eyebrows and lips were delicate, but they were too thick and 'glamorous', which obviously did not match her age.
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch, I didn't expect Qingyin to coincide with me, and did the same style of dressing, but the makeup was so exaggerated, I was not afraid that my mother would splash a cup of tea in my face and open a dyeing workshop on my body.
