Chapter 144: Deliberately flaunting wealth
For the first time, Princess Lanhuang knew that her brother was so stingy, and she was very surprised. But she still happily played with the new Nine Links. When she was young, Brother Wang often gave her toys, but when they were older, boys and girls played with different things, and Brother Wang didn't give her gifts for a long time.
Mama Lu took the opportunity to instill in Princess Lanhuang the idea that no one has her own father, mother, brothers and sisters are important.
Xia Wanrou suddenly thought of the women who hollowed out their in-laws' families to subsidize their mother's family, and felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, His Royal Highness King Lang and Emperor Ming Yuan didn't need Princess Lanhuang to subsidize her mother-in-law's things, so it didn't matter if she taught Lanhuang like this.
was listening slowly, and suddenly Song Zhi walked in quickly.
She reported to the summer evening soft salute: "Mrs. Li asks to see." ”
Xia Wanrou raised her eyebrows.
She has "disappeared" for such a long time, and Li Zhu is only afraid that she is in a hurry.
immediately instructed Mama Lu to continue teaching and go out to entertain guests.
"Take the person to the conservatory and sit for a while." Xia Wanrou commanded. Then she was not in a hurry to go to the conservatory, but turned around and went back to the main courtyard to change her clothes.
"She's not a person who is tight, why should the mother toss like this." Qingya was a little surprised.
Xia Wanrou smiled: "She doesn't care? She's too tight. I have a lot to say she knows, and you'll find out later. ”
Back in the main courtyard, she turned out all the three sets of clothes that she had put away before and had not worn them once, and put them on the red bed for comparison. One is an aqua green palace dress, with silver silk threads and some small gemstones, which looks very elegant, walking around in the sun, shining. One thing is light gold, and the sleeves are simply golden, which is very magnificent. There is also a piece of shark silk dyed purple, which is eye-catching like a water wave.
These three garments, each more ornate than the other, were simply made of gold, silver, and jewelry. More than precious, but not enough elegant. The powerful ladies in Lin'an City will not wear like this, and they will be regarded as nouveau riche.
Xia Wanrou was in order to meet Li Zhu for the third time, so she ordered the set inlaid with silver wires and gemstones, Mu Siyan thought she really liked it, and asked people to order it. By the time Xia Wanrou found out that she couldn't laugh or cry to explain, Mu Siyan had already made two sets of people.
"Wear this pale gold set, atmosphere." Xia Wanrou said to Qingya like this.
Qingya couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.
Then I saw Xia Wanrou running to the jewelry box to find jewelry.
This time, Xia Wanrou didn't pick up clumsy and heavy pure gold jewelry, she specially picked up those beautiful and lightweight, but very expensive jewelry at first glance.
In the end, the whole person came out, like a moving treasure house, if you walk outside a few more times, let people see it, I am afraid that it will immediately become the target of most of the thieves in Lin'an City.
Li Zhu's tea was almost finished in the conservatory, when he saw Xia Wanrou holding her chin and coming over.
She was shocked by Xia Wanrou's outfit.
Xia Wanrou smiled at her and said proudly: "This is the clothes that the prince gave to the princess, is it beautiful?" ”
"Beautiful, beautiful." Li Zhu came back to his senses and boasted as usual, "There is no one in Lin'an City who can wear this set of clothes as good as you." ”
She was telling the truth.
Although the clothes are tacky, the summer evening is so good-looking that it is propped up.
It's just that the lady and lady in Lin'an City, who doesn't wear goose yellow or willow yellow, no matter how bad it is, it is also crow yellow, who will wear light gold on themselves!
Li Zhu's mood was a little complicated, she didn't expect Xia Wanrou to look like a very standard person, and her aesthetics were so unmarked.
Xia Wanrou sat down on the chaise longue and said to Li Zhu seriously: "Look at the gold wire craftsmanship on my sleeve, I heard that it is the authentic Yu embroidery needle, and now there are only three people in the entire Jokhang Kingdom who can embroider the needle, which can be said to be hard to find." ”
"Ahh Li Zhu did not react.
Xia Wanrou continued to say with a smile: "There are also these patterns, although they are embroidered, they are not as bulky and light as they look, and they are golden when they walk under the sun." It is said that the best silkworm silk and snow lotus thread are used, this kind of silk and thread is very precious, the annual output is very low, most of them are paid tribute to the palace, only a small amount flows to the market to buy and sell, mostly in the black market auction. ”
She told Li Zhu bluntly that my clothes are very expensive.
Qing Ya's cheeks and ears were red on the side, and she was a little embarrassed to look at her princess.
Li Zhu finally reacted, the princess Niangniang didn't think that the praise she had just made was not enough, and hurriedly continued to praise the princess Niangniang's clothes.
It's just that she is very puzzled, Xia Wanrou is addicted to listening to her sycophants? So you caught her to boast? What is the purpose of this? Is it specifically for the sake of refreshment?
Xia Wanrou won't be stupid like this!
Li Zhu had doubts in his heart.
When she finally boasted enough, Xia Wanrou finally stopped reminding Li Zhu how valuable her clothes and jewelry were, and said: "This princess doesn't pay much attention to these things outside her body, as long as she can get by with food and clothing, but the prince is different, he always can't help but bring me good things when he sees them." ”
"I said I didn't want these clothes and jewelry, she had to give them to me."
Lai Chu: ......
Why did Xia Wanrou suddenly say this to her! This is clearly what the women of the back house will only say when they compete for favor and show off! She's a person who can't hit with eight strokes......
Li Zhu's mind turned, and finally tentatively spoke: "The prince is really good to the princess, it's really enviable." ”
"Not really!" Xia Wanrou nodded with satisfaction.
Li Zhu had already understood in his heart what Xia Wanrou wanted to say.
Xia Wanrou looked at Li Zhu's family, and said seriously: "I know why you came, I haven't gone out these days, and the outside knows that I am learning the rules from the grandmother in the same palace, and it must have spread all over the world, saying that His Royal Highness King Lang does not love me so much, saying that His Royal Highness King Lang has disliked me, and began to dislike my identity as not worthy of the position of Princess Lang, saying that I learned etiquette so seriously with the grandmother in the palace, I just want to pretend that I am also a noble girl, so as to retain the favor of the prince......"
"This princess doesn't go out, she knows what you're chewing." Xia Wanrou's face turned cold, "I want to teach you to know that the prince is good to me!" ”
What an idiot!
Li Zhu thought to herself, she thought that I was here to ask her this, and she was afraid of losing my dog's legs, so she deliberately wore such a dress to prove to me that Lord Lang still likes her very much.
Her mind was full of such trivial things, and she was no match for me at all.
