Chapter 184: Rong Xiang
Their names were written on each post, and Hua Jin took the one that belonged to her.
At this time, the maid had already brought the tea, and while she was taking advantage of the tea, Hua Jin secretly looked at the expressions of the sisters.
The third sister, Hua Fei, had a very expectant expression.
I heard that the third aunt Liu brought her a lot of money to Beijing, and it seems that she is going to earn a lot of money for King Su's choice of concubine this time.
The fourth sister's Huacai expression was a little tangled.
Hua Jin understood her thoughts, and with her temperament, she definitely didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but she couldn't withstand her mother's ardent expectations.
And Hua Qi, who was sitting next to her, looked at the delicate post with gilded hands with big eyes.
What made her yearn for was the prosperity of the capital, and she didn't think about it at all about her step-concubine.
There are several of the princess's own sisters, where is her turn to be someone who has never seen the world, of course, this is everyone's idea.
Although Hua Rui still lowered her eyes, she held the post tightly in her hand, and the gold dust on it slipped from her fingertips.
Although it was only a subtle movement, it could see the tension in her heart.
If you want to be nervous if you're afraid of losing, right?
Hua Jin picked up the teacup and lifted the lid of the cup, and the hot air rushed into his nose with the fragrance of jasmine.
Tea attracts floral fragrance to benefit the taste of tea, and this season is indeed very suitable for drinking flower tea.
"Auntie, this tea is really mellow, it must have been appreciated by the princess, right?"
Hua Jin lowered his eyes and drank tea, but he could clearly hear that it was Hua Rui, the sixth girl, who said this.
That's right.
If she coveted the position of step-concubine, how could she be so introverted and weak in front of the eldest lady and princess?
"Yes, it's a royal offering. The emperor rewarded the prince, and the prince cherished your eldest sister and rewarded her. It ended up in our teacups. ”
"The prince really has a face in front of the emperor."
Hua Jin heard that the third sister Hua Fei immediately took the words of the eldest lady, so he used the lid of the cup to flick the tea leaves floating on it, and secretly glanced at Hua Fei again, and then lowered his head and drank the tea.
Whether it was Hua Rui and Hua Qi sitting next to her, or Hua Fei and Hua Cai sitting opposite her, they were all dragged into a battle.
Even if she doesn't want to be the step-concubine of King Su the most, it is difficult for her to be alone.
She didn't want her sisters to fight each other over a man, but it seemed unavoidable.
She remembered Aunt Tong's entrustment to her before she went to Liuyunguan, and asked her to support Hua Rui.
Could it be that Aunt Tong knew that there would be today's situation at that time?
After thinking about it, the eldest lady had already put down the cup in her hand, and the porcelain made a crisp sound when it was lightly knocked on the table.
Hua Jin came back to his senses, and Wang spoke, "When I was in Texas, the princess sent a letter to the steward of the palace in the capital. I made a few sets of clothes for each of you in the famous Rongshang Building. ”
"The clothes in this Rongshenglou are not worn by any girl, it is said that the boss came out of the palace."
"And those who want to order ready-to-wear are lined up for the New Year, and when the line is about to arrive, the store will notify the customers to measure the body and design according to the most practical style."
"That's why I'm calling you here because the garments have been delivered. Let you go back and try it quickly, and if there is something inappropriate, you can change it again. ”
As soon as the gushing words fell, the maids had already walked up to them with their things in their hands.
At Wang's command, it was handed directly to their hands, not to the maids beside them.
The clothes in this Rongshang Building are a little different, just looking at the wooden box containing the clothes is very pleasing to the eye.
Hua Jin took the one that belonged to her, and saw that all the materials were carved from mahogany, and the word Rong Xiang was engraved on one corner, which was delicate and light.
The sisters couldn't help but admire.
This is the result that Wang wants, and his face is a little more proud.
"Okay, the girl's family loves beauty, you can go back and try on clothes quickly."
Everyone responded together, and when they got up, Hua Jin saw that the clothes Hua Qi got next to him were different from theirs, where was the exquisitely packaged wooden box in Rong Sheng Building, just a brocade cloth baggage.
Seeing Hua Jin's gaze, Wang said with a smile: "I decided to bring the girl Qi here in a hurry, so I didn't have time to be her." asked Mother Sun to buy two sets of other people's homes. ”
"Auntie, this is already good." Hua Qi looked at the brocade wrapped in her new clothes in her hand, and then at the white-washed gown on her body, and smiled contentedly.
And the other sisters also had a little more annoying sympathy in their eyes when they looked at Hua Qi.
They all understand that this time they brought the girl Dafang here, but they just had dates and no dates.
And this girl is just here to live a life of fine clothes and food, who can put her in their eyes?
After coming out of the Wang family, the sisters went back to their rooms again, and Hua Jin didn't have the heart to try on those clothes.
Yanran picked up the food box and was about to go to the big kitchen to get lunch, but as soon as she walked to the door, the voice came in again, "It's Miss Qi!" ”
The peach opened the curtain and let Hua Qi in.
"Fifth sister." Hua Qi didn't bring the maid.
She didn't have a personal maid brought out of the house by her side, and when she arrived in the capital, the Wang family sent two of them to her, but they were not satisfied.
"Sister Qi, come in."
She still carried the brocade burden in her hand.
"Fifth sister, I know that you are the only one who didn't take me as a joke." Hua Qi said bluntly before he could sit down, a faint sadness in his eyes.
Hua Jin looked at her, after all, she was a little girl who was less than twelve years old, and she would feel aggrieved when she encountered this kind of unfair treatment, right?
"Sister Qi......" Hua Jin just spoke out to comfort.
Suddenly, Hua Qi unwrapped the burden and revealed one of the brand-new middle coats, and next to the middle clothes were two new pairs of socks.
And his face also changed from the sadness he had just now, and he laughed a little narrowly, and his dark eyes blinked one after another, "This is what my sister made for the fifth sister." ”
didn't wait for Hua Jin to say anything and handed over the burden to the peach beside her, "The fifth sister took a lot of care of Hua Qi along the way, and Hua Qi didn't have anything valuable to give to the fifth sister, so she made these with her own hands." ”
Zhi Tao looked at the clothes in his arms, "It's also embroidered with beautiful dark lines, and Miss Qi bothered." ”
Hua Jin was also relieved, but when she saw her slightly swollen fingers, her heart was indescribably sour.
She was not yet twelve years old, and when she was at home, she had to do some needlework to supplement the family, which I heard about later, but I didn't expect that the big house had already lived like this.
Hua Jin held back the little sadness in her heart, because she knew that Hua Qi didn't need sympathy, she was optimistic by nature and was a person who could bring light and joy to others.
She liked her sister even more now.
…………
When he first arrived in the capital, Hua Tong was sent to the two grandmothers of the Marquis of Jingning.
It is said that it is a teaching from the palace.
Hua Tong's purpose is very simple, let their sisters learn etiquette and rules.
Because of the royal palace flower viewing banquet three days later, the grandmothers in the past two days have become even busier.
