Chapter 445: Eccentricity
Sanniang was very puzzled in her heart, but Jiang didn't say anything, only said: "It's not too early, you go to the princess to say goodbye." ”
Sanniang thought about it, but still didn't ask. Although she has been married to Xuan Shao for several months, the Jiang family is not very enthusiastic about her. Even sometimes, she felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be closer, and on the second day, Jiang would return to that attitude that was not far away.
It's not good to her, but she never deliberately makes things difficult.
Even sometimes Sanniang thinks that it is not bad to have a mother-in-law like Jiang, because she will never rely on her identity as an elder to point fingers at her and manage the west.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the two to be intimate enough to say anything.
Sanniang thought, maybe this is a matter of personal vision, right? She thinks she looks good in that way, and Jiang thinks she looks good in this way? If this is the case, she can't tell Jiang in front of Xuan Shao, this dress is a bit abrupt, she doesn't like it.
Even if Jiang looked like a mother-in-law who was very talkative and had almost no temper, Sanniang still didn't dare.
It's just a matter of dressing, a trivial matter. Even if she wears it out and others take a few more looks, it's just like that, she can't take it off secretly behind her back.
Or maybe Jiang is expressing her concern? I want to give her a string of jade beads, but I don't say it directly, so I give it to her when I help her change jewelry?
Until Sanniang came out of Jiang's yard, Sanniang didn't figure it out. So I just don't want to, anyway, Xuan Shao said that it was good-looking.
When Sanniang and Xuan Shao arrived at the old princess's courtyard, the old princess had already gotten up. She always got up before the young people.
Xuan Shao still has to be on an errand today, so he can't go to Wenjiayuan later. Anyway, the men's and women's seats are not in the same place, so it doesn't matter if Xuan Shao is not there.
Xuan Shao asked the old princess to say goodbye and went out.
Although the old princess had already gotten up, she had not yet changed into her clothes and jewelry. When she was at home, she always dressed very simply, not fancy at all.
The old princess looked at the sky, and let the maids beside her wait to freshen up. Sanniang consciously stepped forward to hand over the things in person. She doesn't know how to comb her hair or anything, and she won't let her do this, it's just for show, but the old princess is very useful.
The old princess asked people to comb their hair. While turning his head to talk to Sanniang. When he saw the jade bead chain on Sanniang's chest, he paused.
Sanniang felt a sudden shock in her heart, and subconsciously touched the string of beads. But his mind was in a hurry.
Could it be that this jade bead string actually violated the old princess's taboo? But shouldn't Jiang have the possibility of deliberately harming her? Could it be that Xuan Shao is really not born to the Jiang family, so the Jiang family actually hates them as husband and wife?
Sanniang was thinking about how to deal with the old princess if she was angry, but the old princess shook her head and laughed.
"You kid, this outfit is originally very good-looking, but it is matched with such a beautiful jade bead chain! Come. Show my grandmother - yo, this jadeite is a good jadeite, and the water head is good. However, this dress can't be worn on the body when you see anything good, you have to pay attention to a just right! ”
Sanniang glanced at the old princess seriously, and when she saw that she showed no signs of anger, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What grandmother said is true." The granddaughter-in-law really doesn't know how to dress up. ”
The old princess shook her head and smiled: "This is a woman, naturally virtue is the first priority." Of course, in people like us, we also have to pay attention to our 'tolerance'. It doesn't matter if you won't. Grandmother slowly taught you that when my grandmother was young, no one could find fault with me in dressing. Go, bring my jewelry box. ”
The old princess said to her maid.
So Sanniang met twice in a row in one morning, and the elders wanted to be picky about their dressing.
The maid didn't know which jewelry box the old princess was talking about, so she took the little maid and brought the three major turns.
The old princess beckoned the maid to come closer, squinting her eyes and carefully picking them in the golden box that the three of them opened as soon as they opened. After a while, he picked out a phoenix necklace with long tassels in red gold and gemstones.
"Come, Sanniang. This one is for you to wear. Take that thing off your neck. The old princess smiled and beckoned to Sanniang.
Sanniang blinked and stepped forward.
The big maid beside the old princess hurriedly stepped forward to take over the necklace in her hand, and invited another little maid to help Sanniang take off the eye-piercing jade beads around her neck, and then put on the one that the old princess had picked up.
"Come on. Let Grandmother take a second look. The old princess said to Sanniang.
Sanniang took another step forward.
The old princess glanced at Sanniang a few times and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this looks good." Later, when you go out, come and ask your grandmother to show you. Grandmother has a lot of good things here, and I'll give you all the time to wear them. ”
Sanniang couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this.
It's like an adult coaxing a child, right? Or the lure?
Sanniang glanced at the necklace that was worn on her neck in the mirror, and she couldn't help but marvel, the old princess said that she had a lot of good things, and it seemed that what she said was true, and the one given to her was a treasure. At first glance, it is not small.
"Like it? This chain was given to me by the old queen mother back then, and it was a tribute to a small country in the south. After so many years, look at the ...... The gem on the top is still shiny, and it's the best thing to wear at your age. Last time, your aunt saw it, and she wanted to ask for it for Whelan's girl. Whelan, I've already given her a lot of jewelry, and it's more than enough as a dowry. But she is going to marry after all, and she is a foreigner. These really good things left by my grandmother are naturally for your granddaughter-in-law. ”
The last few sentences of the old lady were deliberately said in a low voice, as a matter of course. Patriarchy is a common problem for all old-fashioned old ladies, so ...... The old lady is normal.
"Uh...... Like, it's good-looking, grandmother has such a good eye, thank you. Even if the old lady wears an iron collar for her now, she doesn't dare to say that she doesn't like it, not to mention that this chain is really good-looking.
However, hearing the old lady's words, Sanniang was still silent in her heart.
The old lady patted Sanniang's hand with satisfaction, and picked out two sets of head and matching earrings, necklaces, and bracelets from her jewelry box, and let people use a small turn.
"These two sets are the best for you to match your light purple and apricot summer shirts. In a few days, I'll have someone pick up some suitable ones for you to wear with autumn shirts. Some of these head and face jewelry were my dowry, and some were given by the old queen mother. You remember to put it away when you go out, and don't let your aunt's shallow eyes see that I gave it to you. She made a fuss, and I had a headache. ”
Why didn't Sanniang think that the old princess's partiality was really a thorough partiality?
In fact, the old princess was still very good to her two daughters-in-law back then, of course, the daughter-in-law in her heart was not the continuation of the princess of the county, but the original partner of the king of Zhuang Jun who had died a long time ago. When Jiang first entered the door, because she was the eldest daughter-in-law, she was even better for Jiang than for Zhuangjun Wang's original match, but because Jiang didn't meet the standards for her daughter-in-law in her mind, her heart was light.
Sanniang thanked the old princess for the reward and let her maid put away the things.
The old princess saw that she was generous, and she didn't covet the other jewelry in her jewelry box, but just gave it to her, and she didn't give it and was not greedy, and she was even more satisfied. The daughter-in-law from the big family is different, and the more she looks at this granddaughter-in-law, the better she feels.
I remember that back then, when the current princess of Zhuangjun had just married into the mansion, she was rewarded with a pair of jade bracelets of good color, and she had a very cheap expression, and when she saw her jewelry turns, she couldn't take her eyes off. After that, I always like to come over to say hello when she combs her hair, and when she sees something good, she praises it vigorously.
The old princess shook her head, after all, she was born as a concubine and had never seen the world. But the rarer people are, the more she doesn't want to give it.
Speaking of which, dressing up as a woman is really a hard job. For example, Sanniang, because she was going out and wanted to come over to say goodbye, got up early in the morning, put on her hair, and spent an hour. Now after accompanying the old lady to dress up, another hour has passed.
At this time, the people who have made friends in Beijing and China have a banquet at home, and they usually go in the morning, stay for a whole day, and return at the time of the dinner. Generally, if you are in a relationship, or because you have something to do, you will pick up the lunch or evening banquet and go again.
Because the old princess wanted to save face for her granddaughter-in-law, she naturally wanted to go to Wenjiayuan early in the morning.
Before going out, the princess of the county came over and talked to the old princess, and the carriage outside the road was ready, and the old princess was invited to get into the carriage.
It's just that when she saw the necklace hanging around Sanniang's neck in a blink of an eye, the princess's eyes were about to pop out.
Sanniang smiled bitterly, sure enough, the old princess still knows the princess of the county very well. It's just that why didn't the old princess remind her, put it away first, and wear it when she went out?
"Mother, didn't you say that this necklace will be left to An's daughter-in-law in the future?" Princess Zhuangjun endured it, but she still didn't hold back, and said with a strong smile while helping the old princess walk.
The old princess gently pinched the hand of Sanniang who was holding here, but said lightly: "I mean to leave it to the granddaughter-in-law, Sanniang is the eldest granddaughter-in-law, so naturally give it to her first." When An's daughter-in-law enters the door, I will naturally give her something else. ”
Princess Zhuangjun gritted her teeth, extremely dissatisfied in her heart.
"Shhh The old princess shook off the princess and frowned.
The princess was startled, she had just twisted the old princess's arm as a handkerchief.
Sanniang glanced at the dissatisfied old princess, and then looked at the princess of the county who was crying with fright, and suddenly felt that she had to endure it very hard to laugh. (To be continued)
