72. Let's help you settle an account
On the second day, 'Hua' Jiu wore a light blue 'color' narrow-sleeved short shirt, a white 'flower' skirt on a blue background, and her hair was fully curled into a spiritual snake bun, and only a silver silk pendant purple bead tassel 'flower' was inserted, and the whole person looked neat and 'fine'.
Today, she should go to the second room of the 'flower' Mingxuan to learn perfume, although she is unwilling, but the old lady of the 'flower' has to go after she speaks.
However, she had just walked out of the 'door' of the small courtyard with the 'Chun' student, and saw the third lady of the third room hurrying towards her.
'Hua' Jiu's 'lips' pursed, and there was an indifferent smile in her eyebrows, this time, it's not that she doesn't want to go over, but she can't get over.
"'Chun'sheng, you go to the second room and tell Mingxuan Gongzi that the third aunt has something to do with me, and I won't go today." On the side of the head, 'Hua' Jiu commanded the 'Chun' student behind him.
'Spring' gave birth to blessings and gifts, and responded to the Tao.
"Jiuya, fortunately you are still there," the third lady grabbed the 'flower' Jiu as soon as she came up, and the people were in a hurry, and the tip of her nose was drenched with fine sweat, "Why are you dressed like this, hurry up and change your clothes, and follow me to the main house, today the king of Ningjun has sent a book to see the dowry, and you have to send back the post." ”
'Hua' Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled by the third lady, and then went back to the house to change clothes.
She remembered that there was no such thing in her previous life, at that time her reputation had been ruined, and the 'flower' old lady, 'flower' Yefeng and the Yang family all hid from her and replaced her with 'flower' Zhi, only bullying her for not supporting her.
In Dayin, according to the ancestral system, the marriage of men and women is to ask the man to bring a dowry gift to the book on the 'door', and the so-called book is red and green paper, that is, two pieces of paper, put in the order of red on the outside and green on the inside, representing the meaning of the Ming media is marrying.
And 'Hua' Jiu and King Ning Jun have been contracted since childhood, and the dowry has indeed been carried into the 'Hua' Mansion half a year ago, and this will just be to send a book and go through the motions.
It stands to reason that the king of Ningjun came to send a book today, and the 'flower' nine needs to be sent back to the post in order to recognize this 'door' family matter, which is the gift of Wending.
After that, it was to look at the dowry, so when 'Hua' Jiu wore a formal pink brocade silk satin skirt and a head decorated with red coral beads, and stepped into the hall of the ancestral house, he saw several large and small boxes neatly stacked in the hall, which was really a big house.
King Ningjun is tied up with a 'jade' crown today, his face is as white as a beautiful 'jade', his eyes are as bright as morning, and his 'lips' have a hint of indifferent smile from beginning to end, and the whole person is handsome and unstained with dust.
But the first thing 'Hua' Jiu saw was indeed Mr. Xi who had been standing behind King Ningjun, even on this occasion, Mr. Xi was still dressed in light gray cloth, with a gold ingot tied around his waist, and a palm-sized gold abacus in his hand, and the beads crackled between the shakes.
The 'color' of his face seems to be born with a blue and white 'color', and if you look closely, you can see that the skin is transparent and can see the small blood vessels clearly.
It seems that the king of Ningjun invited him to come today to help settle the dowry, and at this moment, Mr. Xi slowly walked through each mahogany box with red ribbons, and he didn't look at what was inside, so his slender fingers moved quickly on the golden abacus like a dance.
Send back the post, this kind of thing is actually 'Hua' Jiu does not have to come to the hall in person, who wants Ning Jun Wang to open his mouth is to let 'Hua' Jiu personally accept this book, and 'Hua' karma seal also feels okay, so early in the morning the third lady hurriedly called the scene of 'Hua' Jiu.
"The 'flower' clan Ah Jiu has seen the prince of the county." When the king of Ningjun came to see it, the 'flower' nine saluted, and the gestures brought out everyone's beautiful temperament, and the end was extremely dignified.
King Ning Jun looked at 'Hua' Jiu, the light smile on his 'lips' suddenly deepened, he walked a few steps, and stood at arm's length away from 'Hua' Jiu, "Ah Jiu doesn't have to be polite, how to say it, it will be a family soon." ”
The meaning of these words immediately made the people around look at the two of them with a smile, and the eyes of 'Hua' Jiu were half drooping, and the head was slightly lowered, just 'revealing' a slightly pink side face, and a slender neck that was mostly white and blushing, and the generous and generous without losing the reserved shyness of the 'girl's family.
"Look at what the prince said, our Ah Jiu is a thin-skinned person, if you are ashamed of her, see who will reply to the post for a while." The third lady covered her mouth with a fan, her eyes were crooked, and there was a joke between her bookish eyebrows, her maiden family was quite close to the county king's mansion, and she was a little more familiar with the king of Ning than the people in the 'flower' mansion.
"Third Aunt ......" 'Flower' Jiu stomped her foot slightly disagreeingly, and the thin red on her little face was even worse, like a blooming hibiscus with a shyness that could not bear the cool breeze.
"It's the king of this county who is frivolous, and Ah Jiu Mo wants to blame." King Ning Jun arched his hand, with uncontrollable joy between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was really satisfied with this family matter.
"Here, everyone is here, let's officially carry out the Wending ceremony." At this time, the 'flower' industry seal said, and if this family affair was firmly set as soon as possible, he would be relieved as soon as possible.
Hearing this, the elders of the 'flower' mansion sat down, and the juniors stood on both sides, King Ningjun accepted the folding fan in his hand, straightened the 'jade' crown on his head, and made sure that there were no wrinkles on his robe, he bowed respectfully to the 'flower' Yefeng and others in the hall, and then there was a first-class gold locket on the ground.
King Ning Jun took the gold locket with both hands, his 'lips' pursed slightly, and his handsome and beautiful 'jade' face was a little more neat, and then he saw him open the box, and after showing the red and green paper books inside to all the people, he paced in front of the 'flower' nine and handed it over with both hands.
'Hua' Jiu bowed her knees in return, she half-lowered her eyes, staring at the tips of her embroidered shoes, and also took the gold locket with both hands, and then 'handed over' to the maid 'girl' behind her After collecting it at the beginning of the summer, she also opened a smaller silver box prepared by the third lady earlier, displayed the reply inside, and then sent it to the king of Ning Jun.
As a result, this Wending ceremony is completed, representing the possibility of no mistakes and regrets in this family affair.
'Hua' Ye Fengle laughed, he stroked his beard, looked at King Ningjun, and the expression on Guozi's face was even pleased.
"King of the county, come, then the old man will take the key to open the box, let's look at the dowry." 'Hua' Yefeng took the lead, took the key from the third lady, and opened the boxes one by one.
The box was full of precious things, all tied with red satin, and just looking at the red 'color', I felt that it was a joyful thing.
At this time, Mr. Xi followed the footsteps of King Ningjun, and every time he walked a box, the golden abacus in his hand rang for a while, and his 'lips' were tightly pursed, and only the eyelids were half-closed, and his eyes were narrow, and more and more dowries were shining with a light comparable to the sun, moon and morning stars, and he really looked like a 'shrewd' bookkeeper.
'Hua' Jiu only paid attention for a moment, then looked away, looking at this Xi family, she couldn't help but think of the figure of a man in a white monk's robe, the man named Xi Zixiao was so free and free with 'sex' that it made people jealous.
When 'Hua' Mingxuan walked over, he saw 'Hua' Jiu with a light smile on his lips standing beside King Ning Jun, and the two said a word from time to time, and then the smile on 'Hua' Jiu's face deepened a little.
His eyes were only dark for a moment, and 'Flower' Mingxuan went straight towards 'Flower' Jiu.
The first to notice the 'flower' Mingxuan's unkind gaze had to be Mr. Xi, his hand of the gold abacus paused, and the corner of his eye glanced at it, and then the face that had been expressionless quickly flashed a trace of interest.
"It's such a big thing, why didn't my eldest sister tell me, so I might as well join in the fun." 'Hua' Mingxuan stepped forward and stood on the left hand side of 'Hua' Jiu opposite King Ningjun, and his attitude towards 'Hua' Jiu was natural and intimate, and he really looked like a brother and sister with a deep love of the sea.
The smile on the side of the 'flower' nine 'lips' narrowed a point, and she looked into the depths of the 'flower' Mingxuan's eyes, but she still couldn't understand what he wanted to do, "Why didn't you say it, didn't I let the 'Chun' student talk to you?" ”
"There is a ward, but I never said that today is your gift." 'Hua' Mingxuan said as he stretched out his hand and flicked the dust that didn't exist on his shoulder for 'Hua' Jiu.
'Hua' Jiu's slender body stiffened for a moment, and then she quickly followed Mr. Xi's steps forward a small step, and after pulling away from him, she smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Brother Mingxuan." ”
'Hua' Mingxuan shook his head, and was about to say something, when King Ningjun's body was on the side, blocking in front of him, looking at him, the smile on his handsome and beautiful 'jade' face grew, "This is Mingxuan's son, who is known as a genius in perfumery, right?" The king of this county has really been 'friends' with the prince god for a long time, and when I see him today, I am glad to meet. ”
Squinting his eyes, 'Hua' Mingxuan looked at this Ning Junwang, who was likely to rob him of the same 'female', and the expression on his bamboo-like face was a little less, "Everyone dare not be, Mingxuan has accidentally lost his smell a few days ago, and he will no longer be able to make incense products in the future, and the prince of the county will look at it highly." ”
King Ningjun's pale face, which was comparable to a 'woman', was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly changed to a very regretful expression, "This...... This is simply jealousy! ”
'Hua' Jiu naturally knew what King Ning Jun had in mind, and he had already tested her once last time, in order to just want to pull 'Hua' Mingxuan into the same boat, and then 'plug' his feet into the incense line, just because King Ning Jun was one of those sons of the Heavenly Family.
Now that 'Hua' Mingxuan has lost his smell, King Ningjun's plan has failed, and she can imagine how surprised he is in his heart.
found that the person he had been trying to win over instantly had no use value, and King Ning Jun didn't want to stay in the 'Hua' Mansion for longer, he came today, and specially called out the 'Hua' Jiu, just thinking that maybe there would be an opportunity to chat with 'Hua' Mingxuan, but now it is unnecessary.
Thinking of this, King Ningjun found an excuse to retire first, but when he left, he left Mr. Xi to settle the dowry, so that there would be no mistake in bringing in King Ningjun a few days later.
"What's the matter, when you see people gone, you're lost?" 'Flower' Mingxuan picked up the red silk and looked at it, and asked 'Flower' Jiu idly.
'Flower' Nine shook his head, "If I say that he didn't come for me, can you trust him?" ”
"What's not to be trusted, it's just trying to win me over, and now that I'm no longer useful, I'll naturally give up at this time." 'Flower' Mingxuan tied a piece of silk in the box into a dead knot, and seemed to clap his hands quite satisfied.
Hearing this, 'Hua' Jiu glanced at 'Hua' Mingxuan, and his heart turned out that he could still see everything clearly, "Are you really losing your smell or fake losing your smell?" ”
The loss of smell happened too suddenly, and the details were unknown, and 'Hua' Jiu always suspected that 'Hua' Mingxuan did this on purpose, so that 'Hua' Rong could relax his vigilance, and now it seems that most of them don't want to get involved in the struggle for those forces.
Hearing this, 'Flower' Mingxuan suddenly approached 'Flower' Jiu, and squirted hot air on the side of her slender neck, "Guess. ”
Then before 'Hua' Jiu could react, he had already turned around and waved at her, and the corners of his clothes flew away, "Remember me later." ”
'Flower' Nine was speechless, only the deep in the pale 'colored' pupils could swallow even the sunlight into it.
"The princess of the county? With the end of the world? Which is the loss? Do you want to settle an account? I don't know when, Mr. Xi, who dialed the golden abacus, asked, he didn't raise his head, even when he said this, he still looked at the five fingers of the dowry in the box jumping rapidly, it was really beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
