Cai Wei's words still stopped Zhang's heart to let his daughter enter the East Palace.

Jiang Shi only had a day to prepare, and she was really busy. I got up early in the morning, and took Mu Caiping to the ready-to-wear shop, and the two of them were almost dazzled, either too expensive, or not good-looking, and finally picked out a set of silver and red silk jackets with full sleeves, a pomegranate red ten Hunan skirts, and a pair of new embroidered shoes with pearls and butterfly flowers.

After this set was purchased, it cost the Jiang family more than 100 taels of silver. Jiang was distressed and his flesh hurt, but he still gritted his teeth and bought it.

Because she promised that Mrs. Wang also bought a set for Cai Wei, she was afraid that Cai Wei would dress up brightly and steal the limelight from Cai Ping, so the mother and daughter chose a silver gray gauze jacket and a moon-white thread skirt for Cai Wei.

This outfit is neither brilliant nor wrong, and the girl does not look obtrusive when she wears it.

Jiang admired his vision very much, and spent a very small amount of silver to buy such a set of clothes, which could block Wang Laotaijun's mouth and make Cai Wei have nothing to say.

The two of them happily picked out their clothes and went to the jewelry store again.

Since he entered the East Palace to participate in the banquet, then this face must not be shabby, not to mention inlaid with gold and jade, it must also be red gold. It's just a circle of asking, the style is novel and pure gold, and a set of silver will cost thousands of silver.

and the medium, also for five or six hundred pieces of silver.

This trip into the East Palace, after all calculations, you will have to pay a small handful of silver.

Jiang's heart was so uncomfortable, she now has a total of more than 1,000 taels of cash in her hand, and some of the dowry gifts sent by the Sun family have not been sold, and she roughly estimated that they are worth about 1,000 taels.

I have to guard against the fact that the Sun family will come to ask for the account, and the shackles that my son will bring after returning from the academy for the New Year, no matter how you count it, you don't have enough money in your hands.

The son has turned seventeen, and at this age, it is long overdue to get married. It's just that she has been delaying it all the time, and she really hopes that her son will be able to win a jinshi in the next subject, and when the time comes, maybe the money spent will be less.

Now in order for his daughter to climb the high branches, the Jiang family had to be ruthless, and took out five hundred taels of silver to buy a set of medium-sized and new tricky heads, with only a few rubies inlaid on them.

Although Mu Caiping's eyes were still staring at the best set of heads inlaid with various colors of tourmaline and cat's eyes, she was shy, and she had to watch her mother buy the set of five hundred taels.

"The old lady let Mu Caiwei buy a set, mother, look at ......" When she said this, Mu Caiping was worried, no matter how cheap it was, it would cost two or three hundred taels of silver, and she was reluctant to give Mu Caiwei that slut flowers!

Jiang pondered for a while, the old lady's words had to be listened to, otherwise, she would have no one to support her in this mansion. But if she wants to buy Cai Wei a set of five hundred taels of silver, it is better to kill her.

"How can we have so much silver? The old lady also knew. The emperor rewarded her with so many good things, even if we bought it for her, she wouldn't look down on her, so it was better not to buy it. ”

Jiang's final word.

Mu Caiping was very happy in her heart.

The gift of the emperor is indeed good, I don't know how much better than her head and face of five hundred taels. She had seen it in the flower hall that day, but unfortunately the things were good, but the style was outdated, where could it compare to the set she bought?

The two of them settled down like this, and they were happy all the way.

Jiang taught Mu Caiping a lot of boudoir techniques, although she is still a yellow flower girl, but she is ashamed and ashamed, but she also understands it thoroughly.

Jiang looked at Mu Caiping with a serious face, "Ping'er, you can't be like your mother, condescending to a ruined family for the rest of your life. You're going to fly on the branches, that's your sky. Since you have this opportunity to enter the East Palace, with your appearance and talent, you will definitely attract the attention of those princes and grandsons, and when the time comes, grab one at random, and it will be enough for you to eat for a lifetime. ”

Seeing that Mu Caiping's face was shy and delicate, Jiang's voice also became stern, "Don't be ashamed, take your mother's words to heart." Men, how many people don't like beauty? You just have to show some skills, and when the time comes, the words are welcome, and it will be done. Just remember one, don't go out of line, let them be like a cat that has tasted fishy, scratching the itch of the heart and lungs, and the matter will be inseparable. ”

Mu Caiping is also studious, and immediately nodded solemnly with a small face.

If you want to get ahead, it's up to you to see tomorrow night.

Back in the house, the Jiang family took Mu Caiping and personally sent the clothes selected for Caiwei over.

Cai Wei was not polite, and took it and thanked her.

As soon as Jiang left, she shook off her eyes and looked at it, listening to Sujing, she didn't hate it.

The Zhang family had already heard the wind, and this time he hugged his son Mu Yuhe over, and when he saw the set of clothes, he couldn't help but sneer, "What the hell is your aunt stingy, such a set of clothes that only a sister-in-law can wear at the prince's birthday banquet?" Is she embarrassed to get her hands on it? ”

Cai Wei quietly put it down and asked, "What should I wear for the prince's birthday banquet?" ”

"That's naturally going to be a show. You little girl's house, you must not use these plain things. ”

Listening to Zhang's words, Cai Wei bit her lower lip and frowned. So, she still has to choose a festive set?

It's just that she went in and out of the capital, and she didn't go out a few times, but she changed her clothes twice, either green and yellow or willow green, and there was really nothing to celebrate.

Seeing this, Zhang gave her an idea, "Why don't you ask the commander?" It's still too late to buy now, won't you enter the palace tomorrow night? ”

Cai Wei smiled, this time I went to Lu Ying to ask for clothes, it's not good to say, right?

This man hasn't passed yet, so he needs clothes first?

Lu Ying must not say anything, but what will the people in his house think? When it reaches the ears of other adults, what will people think?

Only then did she feel that marrying a person was not just a matter of living with firewood, rice, oil and salt as a husband and wife. Maybe the small family doesn't have anything else to think about, but Lu Ying's every move will be watched, so she better not make trouble for him, right?

Thinking about it, she picked up the clothes sent by the Jiang family again, and said with a smile, "It's good to be plain, just don't attract attention." ”

Anyway, she has already married Lu Ying, and she will marry in three days, and now she doesn't go to the East Palace to go through the motions, and she doesn't expect to be in the limelight.

Zhang actually wanted to say that Mu Caisu had a set of brightly colored clothes to wear, but thinking about Caiwei's trip to the East Palace without her daughter, she swallowed her words again.

Let's wait and talk about it, who knows if this girl will take care of her mother's family after she gets married.

After sending the Zhang family away, Cai Wei asked Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to clean up the house and set up the food to eat.

On the evening of the second day, it was the day of the wax moon, and there was a full moon like a silver plate hanging in the sky, which was already sixteen.

It was a very cold day.

Cai Wei changed the set of clothes sent by the Jiang family, and approved a piece of wind outside, which Lu Ying bought for her that day. The silver fox has a plain white forging face, which is not obvious, and it contrasts her appetite.

The Mu family went out in just a carriage, which was still old. The horse was also an old horse, thin and weak, and the wheels were slit, and could barely turn.

The Jiang family took Mu Caiping and Caiwei to squeeze in, and brought four girls, including Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, who could only follow outside.

The Mu family was poor, and the Jiang family was even more picky, and they were reluctant to put a hand stove or something in the car, along the way, the three of them were huddled together, and it was freezing cold, and when they arrived at the East Palace, they were so cold that tears and snot flowed down.

Cai Wei couldn't help but sigh, the life of the Mu family was not as comfortable as her in the countryside. Anyway, at that time, she had a spacious carriage in and out, and she didn't have to go hungry and cold at home, and she lived a rich and prosperous life. Where is it like now, although I live in the capital, my food and clothing are not as good as those in the countryside.

The Mu family also has an empty shell.

It's just that before going to the East Palace, Cai Wei still got angry with Lu Ying, so as not to have any accidents.

This time, the prince ordered Lu Ying to investigate the cave where King Cheng Zhao Yu secretly cast weapons in the name of procurement, thinking that he could hold King Cheng ten out of ten, but who expected King Cheng to find another way to take her hostage into Beijing and treat the thirteen princes.

In this way, it was a big case, but it was over.

The prince can't help but become a king, will he be angry with her as a scapegoat?

What if you attack her at a banquet?

After all, it is difficult for the prince to bring down his own brother, but it is still easy to pinch her to death as an unknown person, as if crushing an ant to death!

Therefore, she had to ask Xiao Wu to go to Lu Ying and get a message to feel at ease.

Xiao Wu took advantage of the night to touch out, but came back in more than an hour.

She only brought Lu Ying back with a message, and it was still the same sentence, "Don't worry, everything has me!" ”

Cai Wei's ears were almost calloused when she heard this.

"He didn't ask me what I'm going to wear tomorrow night?" Cai Wei is a little unwilling, this Lu Ying, doesn't she know that she is new to the city, and she is in urgent need of clothes and jewelry?

"I asked, and the slave told me the truth." Xiao Wu was honest and replied 1510.

"What did he say?" Cai Wei couldn't wait to ask.

"The adult said, it's good for a girl to wear it like this, and she doesn't have to wear too much makeup." Xiao Wu blinked his big round eyes, a little confused.

The girl looks good in homely clothes, why do you still ask?

Cai Wei pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "What a door-picking guy, I'm going to get married, and I don't even want to give me beautiful clothes." ”

"So, he didn't tell me what jewelry to wear?" Cai Wei mustered up the courage to ask again, Lu Ying didn't buy her beautiful clothes and a set of jewelry assemblies, right?

"My lord said that if you want to wear jewelry, you should wear it from the emperor. What you buy is not as good as what you have given you. Xiao Wu was an "adult" in one mouth, and Cai Wei secretly grinded her teeth when she heard it.

He just wants his wife who hasn't passed through the door to dress plainly and go to meet people usually? Isn't it to dress up beautifully, not to give him a long face?

scolded Lu Ying angrily, and Cai Wei felt better. Now standing outside the gate of the East Palace, she couldn't help but look around, wanting to see if Lu Ying had come.

Mu Caiping beside him fought straight, with a tall and plump body wrapped in a big red cloak, and the golden red gold head on his head was indeed much richer.

The cold wind blew, and there was a faint dark fragrance from her, but it was not such a strong smell of fat powder, it smelled quite attractive, and it was not in vain that the Jiang family spent a lot of money to buy fresh flowers.

It seems that her bath is quite effective.

Cai Wei heard Xiao Liu say how Mu Caiping dressed up.

After noon, Jiang began to take the girl to work, first boiled hot water for Mu Caiping to pick the petals, let her soak in the bath for an hour, I heard that the Jiang family sent people to buy a lot of flowers in the greenhouse outside the city, and the girl just picked the petals for a morning.

After that, I found a few skillful girls to comb Mu Caiping's hair and makeup......

This is all what Xiaoliu's girl heard from other girls, and then learned it to Cai Wei.

Cai Wei didn't expect Mu Caiping and the Jiang family to attach so much importance to this banquet, and they didn't hesitate to dress up themselves.

This is really going for the position of the crown princess.

The kings of the Ming generation were all selected from the people when choosing concubines, for fear that their relatives would interfere in politics. Therefore, folk women have the opportunity to be selected, and once it is time for the emperor to select, there will be a holy decree that the people are not allowed to marry until the selection is completed.

Once selected, the family will soar.

But there is also one bad thing, and that is martyrdom.

In case the concubine who died behind the emperor and had no children, she would be unlucky, and she might be forced to be buried by a holy decree.

I don't know if Mu Caiping has heard about this, or if she wants to run to Gao Zhi'er, she has a spicy heart, and she forgot about this stubble at all.

Anyway, she already has a high branch, so she doesn't have to toss herself.

On the pair of tall red watermelon lamps at the entrance of the East Palace, Cai Wei squinted and glanced at it, and saw that Mu Caiping was much more gorgeous and charming.

The red cloak made her lips red and her teeth white, which was in line with the old saying "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles".

But tonight is cold, it is almost the moon day, and standing in the wind, it didn't take long for Cai Wei to feel cold feet.

Mu Caiping beside her, although she was standing upright, her shoulders were trembling slightly, and she was tightening her red cloak from time to time, and she didn't know what she was wearing.

Anyway, Cai Wei was wearing the silver gray gauze jacket inside, and a silk cotton close-fitting jacket was also put on the inside, and the moon white thread skirt was worn outside, and a pair of old cotton pants were worn inside. There was a pair of black cotton shoes on his feet, and anyway, the skirt was long, and they were all covered, and nothing could be seen outside.

She just stood next to Mu Caiping with her hands in her hands, and she heard Mu Caiping's upper and lower teeth clucking, and she smiled happily.

In this world, the stupidest person is like Mu Caiping, a beautiful frozen person, and I don't know if it's worth it, whether I can catch a golden beetle son-in-law this time.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, the corner door of the East Palace opened a crack, and a small inner prison came out, standing on the Danqi, condescendingly watching Mu Caiwei drink Mu Caiping, and asked the male duck in his throat, "Where are you?" What about posts? ”

Cai Wei hurriedly replied, "If you go back to your father-in-law, we are from the Guozi Priest Jiu Mu family. Here's the post. With that, he handed over the post.

The little inner supervisor took the post and looked at it, glanced at the two girls under the danqi, and then asked puzzledly, "There is only one girl written on the post, why are there two of them?" ”

Mu Caiping was frightened when she heard this, and subconsciously leaned towards Caiwei.

Cai Wei hooked the corners of her lips and smiled.
