Soon it was the end of the month.

Under the dedicated management of Steward Sun, Pei Baoer's new shop was newly decorated. From the old down-to-earth grain store to a new look, it is now called an old look for a new look, which is the most exquisite. Don't say it's a fat powder shop, it's okay to open an antique shop and sell jewelry.

Pei Baoer was in a panic, naturally thinking that the sooner she opened, the better, and her fresh ideas could be realized. So I asked Mr. Feng Shui to look at the date, and said that it was the eighth day of the first month of May when the market opened, which was the latest good day, and the opening date was set.

On this day, Song Yan came to ask her about it with a respectful face.

"Birthday feast? Toffee's? ”

Before Pei Bao'er could react at first, she reflexively thought of the old lady in the North Courtyard. She was still a little strange, and said casually, "Just do it according to the old routine of previous years, and it's worth asking me for such a trivial matter?" ”

Song Yan has followed Qi Heng for many years, and it is very appropriate to take care of the inner mansion for him, and he has won Qi Heng's trust. It is said that in the past few years, he has been in charge of all the big and small things in the palace, but the concubine Lin who was powerful in the palace in her imagination didn't even touch the edge of the housekeeper's power. Just about this, she knew from her mouth at the time, and she was still very surprised.

She came back for half a month, and Qi Heng didn't mean to let Song Yan hand over the power to her, I don't know if she was afraid that she would mess up, or that she would be embarrassed if she didn't do it. Anyway, Pei Baoer is happy and relaxed, and has been pretending to be deaf and dumb to live her own little life.

Unexpectedly, this Song Yan came over like this today, could it be that Qi Heng's old fox is playing with some new ideas?

Song Yan's old eyes widened, full of incredulity: "It's your birthday banquet, princess!" ”

"Oh, my birthday...... Ha? ”

Pei Bao'er thought about it for a while, and finally found this piece of information from the messy pile of memory wool.

Pei Shu and Pei Zimeng's birthdays are not on other days, but on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Dragon Boat Festival. People in these years call May the Evil Month, saying that the children born in May are unknown, that their lives are hard, and so on. At that time, Zhang died not long after giving birth to the child, and some people talked about it in private. But fortunately, this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses are highly qualified, and under the influence of their grandfathers, they have grown into the best among their peers, and later the Pei family did not have any other relatives who died unexpectedly, but they are thriving, so no one mentioned this again.

Because Pei Baoer's birthday in later life was different from this, she didn't pay much attention to this stubble. For her, Pei Shu, a talented woman who is tall and withdrawn, is really not like her, and she is 108,000 miles away from her later temperament and hobbies, which is why she has never been able to integrate into the role of the princess.

But she thinks so, others don't know, except for Qi Heng, who knows how many twists and turns the soul in her shell has changed.

Just like Beiyan, a person who serves close to each other naturally acquiesces that Pei Baoer knows and remembers. She and Ling Xue have secretly prepared gifts for the princess's master, although it is just some needlework, it is also their intention, not those who are not close to the master, who are not qualified to give gifts to the master.

But she never expected that her master not only forgot about his birthday, but even Song Yan could think of Concubine Wei with such a prompt. It's really confusing!

Beiyan coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Master, the old lady's autumn is in February, and it has already passed." ”

According to Pei Baoer, if you eat a birthday noodle on your birthday, you can call your relatives and friends for a meal. She is not happy to hold any birthday banquet, she feels tired when she thinks about it, she is obviously a birthday star, but she still has to greet so many people, and she feels more laborious than the little lady in the flower building.

She wanted to refuse, but she was not a fool, she knew that Qi Heng Bacheng would not get used to her this time, and Beiyan and the others would definitely be chattering in their ears.

Just like now—

Bai Lu said: "Naturally, it has to be done, and it has to be done in a big way!" The master has not been in the capital for the past few years, but it has made the West Courtyard out of the limelight. Although the prince has never let her interfere in the affairs of the house, but in the end, there is a maiden family as a backer, and the female relatives of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, who is not familiar with her? If you keep being lazy, those who don't know still think what's wrong with you~"

Ling Xue also said: "It's exactly this, the master is impatient to see those people one by one, but he keeps hanging people, and it doesn't sound good to spread out." Master, you don't care about this, but you have to think more about Xiaolang. It's all going to be done anyway, so if you take this opportunity to meet those people, you don't have to bend your mind, they won't be able to flatter you, where will they rush to please you. ”

Beiyan is the most direct: "That is, you must do it well, let them see clearly, you are the master of our palace!" ”

The maids were very positive, but Pei Baoer was very depressed.

She doesn't want to be the heroine of this palace at all!

It was useless to say more, Pei Baoer had to deal with the matter for the time being, and when she fell asleep at night, an idea suddenly popped up, and she called Song Yan over the next morning.

Song Yan was very strange, the princess and the master looked like they didn't care about it yesterday, if it weren't for him and his personal servants to persuade him left and right, the eight achievements would be canceled, why did he change his face after a day, and he was still interested in explaining all kinds of details?

Beiyan was also a little puzzled, and when she listened to Pei Bao'er's instructions to let her prepare the things and people, she understood.

She bit her ear with Bai Lu in private, "The princess really seems to have changed as if she has changed, she used to be a fairy-like person, but now she is so concerned about things in the shop." Moreover, the princess rarely writes now, and the poems and songs she used to see are almost dusty on the shelves. ”

Bai Lu didn't suspect anything, "Maybe it's because the life of the people was hard in the past few years, the princess is a weak woman, and she still has Xiaolang, and the silver money always has to be more baht." ”

Beiyan still made an excuse for his master: "Maybe this woman's temperament will change greatly when she becomes a mother?" I see, Sister Ling Xue is not as boring as before. It's you, didn't you want to touch the needle and thread in the past, but now you are very diligent in making clothes for your own man's son. ”

The two maids laughed and laughed, and then did as Pei Baoer instructed. The next post of the next post, the preparation of the gift, the training of the trainer, for a while, the main courtyard is even more lively, against the west courtyard and the north courtyard is very deserted.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, people come and go in the palace, and it is naturally very lively.

Almost all the famous people in the capital have come, even if they haven't received the post, they have to back up and send them to the palace. There is even more cheeky, directly climbing the friendship of other people who have posts.

The reason is also simple, because this Princess Pei is really a strange woman.

Needless to say, her background and status are based on her marrying an amazing husband, but anyone who wants to make achievements in officialdom will not dare to offend her. Not seeking merit but seeking no fault, this is the psychology of most people.

Furthermore, it is the bizarre experience of her resurrection from the dead.

Yes, this funeral has been held for three whole years, and the water and land dojo has been held several times on the death day, just when everyone thought that she was already a piece of loess, she suddenly "lived" again, and it seemed that there were still many twists and turns. This is very rare in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, after all, these women are basically pampered since childhood, and when they get married, they will marry each other and teach their children in peace, where have I seen the live-action version of this bizarre plot that only appears in the playbook.

If that's all, it's fine, but the key is that this resurrected Princess Pei is too willful in terms of communication, and she hasn't taken much care of them since she returned to the capital.

This year, if you want to visit someone else's house, you can't run straight over, you have to post in advance and tell the other party, if your family has nothing else to do, I will come to see you, this is called a ceremony. Unless it's a special kiss, or it's urgent, it will come to the door without notice.

Princess Pei is arrogant, and there are few people who can talk about it, and she has been ridiculed by her for a long time, so she can only obediently serve the post, hoping to be "pampered" by Princess Pei. The result was good, and Princess Pei directly refused. If she didn't know that she had seen someone, I was afraid that the news that Princess Pei was seriously ill would be circulating in the capital again.

It's not that there are no people who come to the door directly, but the people are gone, and the porter and the maid who passed the word are politely sent away.

After hearing that the old lady of Zhangfu came forward on his birthday, many people regretted it a little, after all, in their opinion, the court envoy is not a big official, although it is Princess Pei's maternal grandfather, but he has never received any preferential treatment, and Zhang Yuan envoy himself has been boiling up his qualifications, who would have thought that Princess Pei would go. Later, some people who heard about it were full of apologies and made up a gift to Zhang's mansion.

In short, after eating so many closed-door soups, except for the female relatives who were lucky enough to go to the birthday banquet of Zhangfu, the big guy was very curious about Princess Pei, who had not met for a long time, and naturally wanted to come to the party.

As a result, these people just entered the palace, and they didn't feel what was going on when they looked at the beautiful scenery of the surrounding flowers, but they were attracted by the maids of the palace who came and went.

These shallot-like young girls are still dressed in a second-fashioned manner, mainly because the makeup on their faces is somewhat rare.

I saw that they didn't know what was wiped in their eye sockets, all of them looked deep, looking forward to Shenfei, and they were also painted with deep and light colors, light or dark, cold or warm, pink peach, and orange and red.

Most of the people who can receive the king's post are not from short-sighted small families, and they are also well-informed, so they naturally know that there is a new fat powder shop in Beijing recently, and there are flower girls who have set off a wave of makeup innovation with those ordinary women. But most of them were stunned that they were not deceived by Ruyu Pavilion, mainly because those new makeup looks were too bright and the colors were too exaggerated, and it would be suitable if the girls in the flower building were used to attract guests, but they did not match their identity as housewives. Not only did they not buy it themselves, but they also ordered the maids in the house not to use it, for fear that they would learn the style of the flower girls to seduce the men in the family.

Therefore, these flamboyant maidservants in the Regent's palace seem very out of place, but to the puzzlement of these ladies, the makeup of these maids is not at all conventional, which is very different from what they have seen on the street before.

Especially Mrs. Huaininghou, who has also visited Concubine Lin several times in recent years, it just so happens that the person who leads the way today is still a familiar maidservant. To her surprise, she didn't recognize the servant girl at first, but the servant girl smiled and talked to her, and then she recognized it by listening to the voice and looking at the silhouette of the figure.

She couldn't help but wonder that this little Yanzi had a mediocre appearance, especially a pair of eyes and single eyelids, which was still small, and her smile was like a line, but it was more than twice as big as she saw it today. She stared at Xiao Yan's face several times along the way, wondering if she was old and remembered it wrongly.

Another bold lady also asked curiously, "The girls use the fat powder of the Jade Pavilion?" Look weird and good-looking. ”

The maid smiled and said, "Definitely." It is the fat powder from the princess's new shop. ”

Everyone was a little curious, and asked a few more questions, and then they went to the warm pavilion and saw Pei Baoer, a "sick beauty" who was sick but had her own amorousness.
