When it was the hottest time in summer, Fang Zheng and Mu Gen Dad set off for Zhongnan with the dart game. The weather is hot, Jiang Wanmu has spent a lot of time in the palace, and she likes to open the windows of the room for ventilation. Lian Hao sometimes came to the courtyard, but never entered her room again. At most, wait outside the window of her room, after Jiang Wanmu found out, she would get up and salute him, and he would ask casually: "What are you doing in the room?" Jiang Wanmu would take the needlework she was learning to do to the window and hand it to him.

In recent days, perhaps the sun is too fierce, Jiang Wanmu has not left the right gate of the palace for some days, and Lian Hao has never entered the courtyard. Jiang Wanmu felt a little more relaxed, she had been worried about Lian Hao's lecture on teaching her to read and write, and now that person thought about it, she just said casually. In her spare time, taking advantage of the lack of people in the yard, she would go out of the room, sit in the shade of the yard for a while, hold the soles of her shoes, and work slowly one stitch after another.

Jiang Wanmu actually likes this courtyard very much, but she has always disliked too many idlers, so after she sat down, she just smiled faintly and nodded to all the people who came forward before refusing. In Lian Hao's yard, there is no prosperous scenery like flowers and branches, only a few refreshing trees, which is very popular with Jiang Wanmu. Behind the prosperity, there will always be a bleak reality. Jiang Wanmu would never say this kind of small thinking to the second person. Because everyone loves icing on the cake, few people will give charcoal in the snow.

Ji Yan held the upper of the shoe he was making in his hand, walked to the yard, and saw Jiang Wanmu bowing his head under the shade of the tree. She only used a silver hairpin on her head, a fine linen dress with plain pigment and wicker, and when she heard the movement, she looked up, and that expression always gave people a sense of comfort. Jiang Wanmu turned her head to look at Ji Yan who came over. Glancing at the upper of her hand, he smiled and beckoned, "Sit here." Cooler than in the room. ”

Ji Yan came over with a smile, sat down on her side, and said in a small voice, "Miss, the women and girls in this courtyard use hairpins that are more beautiful than those on your head, and the clothes they wear are brighter than the clothes on your body. Jiang Wanmu chuckled when she heard her words, and her eyes swept slightly over the people standing in the corner, and saw that they were really gorgeous, each with their own posture. She glanced at Ji Yan. Seeing that she was only lightly pulling her hair, she only used a wooden hairpin on her head, and was wearing plain muslin clothes.

Jiang Wanmu said with a smile: "Everyone has their own hobbies, and the weather is so hot." Let me wear a heavy hair ornament. It was a terrible day for me. If it weren't for fixing my hair, I wouldn't want to use this hairpin. Ji Yan remembered the hair of the old princess Jiang Wanmu, and hurriedly said, "Miss." On the day of the old princess's birthday, you didn't use a hairpin in your hair, and I thought the young lady was particularly beautiful that day. Miss, you can comb your hair like that. ”

Jiang Wanmu glanced at her with a smile and said, "That hair is too laborious to comb, I don't want to spend effort on it every day." But remember to remind me to wait until the weather is cooler. I will add a crown of gold and a few hairpins to myself, and I will not be able to see anyone again and again. I'm going to stay here for more than a year. I can't let the powerful people look down on me for nothing. After hearing this, Ji Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, last time my brother said that he knew a woman who made jewelry, miss, didn't you say that you want to change the old silver hairpin?"

When we arrive, we ask my brother to take us there and see if there are any new tricks. That kind of shop is really cheaper than the gold and silver shops outside, and the style is trendy. "Jiang Wanmu didn't like to go to the gold and silver jewelry store, the shopkeeper and clerk there, everyone can only see silver in their eyes, and they look at the clothes first. Jiang Wanmu thought about the silver hairpin on her head and the gold hairpin in the room, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, so I don't need to add any hairpins, just change the style of the two hairpins, this kind of thing is too much, and then take care of it and take away the trouble." ”

Ji Yan originally wanted to persuade her a few more words, but after hearing her words, he nodded with a smile and said softly: "Miss, the coming day is long, don't be in a hurry at this time." Jiang Wanmu glanced at her with a smile, thinking about Mu Gen's words of intercession: "Sister, Ji Yan is thin-skinned, don't always like to make fun of her." She endured the joke that came to her lips and handed the sole of her hand to Ji Yan. Ji Yan took the sole of Jiang Wanmu's hand, looked at the upper of the shoe that was tight and loose, and sighed lightly: "Miss, this sole can only be used in the middle of winter shoes." When you do needlework, use even force. ”

Jiang Wanmu nodded and said, "Well, I'll listen to you and slowly hone your needlework." I will make clothes for myself with my own hands. Ji Yan listened to Jiang Wanmu's great goal, looked at the obviously rough needle corners in her hands, and looked at her with a headache: "Miss, don't talk about making clothes for the time being." You take your time to make the soles. After the sole is ready, let's make the upper. Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's words of vowing to finish the shoes, nodded and sighed lightly: "Okay, the road of thousands of miles must start from the first step." I'm not in a hurry, take my time. ”

Jiang Wanmu put the soles in her hands one after another, and after finishing it, she held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, although she did not have an even needle angle of Ji Yan, she still had a sense of accomplishment, after all, this was her first sample. When Ji Yan embroidered and was about to change the thread, he looked up at Jiang Wanmu, took the sole of her hand with a smile, handed her the upper in his hand to her, and said, "Miss, the needle angle behind you is better than the one in front." Look at the pattern on my vamp, what kind of yellow line does this stamen look good with? ”

Jiang Wanmu took the upper of the shoe, looked at the few yellow flower bones in the middle of the shoe, and said with a smile: "It looks good with light yellow and bright threads." Ji Yan suddenly stared at Jiang Wanmu's back fixedly, her kind of gaze made Jiang Wanmu feel like her hair stood up. She hurriedly followed her gaze, turned her head and saw the princess in a thin brocade dress with big red flowers, standing next to the big tree, with an indescribable feeling in her eyes, staring at her without relaxation.

The princess was followed by a group of gorgeously dressed women and girls, and when the two were compared, Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan under the tree seemed to be particularly different. Jiang Wanmu stood up, pulled up the auspicious words with her hand, and after the two walked away from the tree, they saluted the princess: "Hello princess." Ji Yan said hello in a slightly trembling small voice. The princess had a cold face, she looked at Jiang Wanmu from top to bottom, and asked, "Mrs. Shizi and the second young lady are housekeepers, but they are harsh on you?" As soon as she said this, there was an instant silence in the courtyard.

Jiang Wanmu shook her head and said, "Mrs. Shizi and Second Young Lady have always been close to me, they are gentle and fair, how can they be harsh on me?" In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they took care of me quite well, more than when I was in my mother's house. It's just that the weather is hot, and I've always been more casual, greedy for coolness, and I like to wear home clothes when I don't go out of the yard. When she said this, she accidentally looked into the pile of people behind the princess, and when Mingyu and Mingtou saw her, they lowered their heads at the same time.

The woman behind the princess glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who was calm, and said to the princess: "Master, it is better to go into the room to rest for a while, and then slowly ask the third young master." The princess glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who lowered her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I sit in the courtyard, you go to the third young lady's room to have a look, just come out and talk to me." The steward of the courtyard immediately brought a stool, and soon rolled up the shading mosque. The woman behind the princess looked at Jiang Wanmu with a humble face.

Jiang Wanmu took the sole of Ji Yan's hand and said to her, "You go and open the door." Ji Yan made a gesture of invitation to the woman, and the two walked to the room. After the princess sat down, she looked at the things in Jiang Wanmu's hand and said, "Take it here, let me see your needlework." Immediately behind her, there was a woman who stepped forward to pick up the soles and uppers of Jiang Wanmu's hands. The woman took it and handed the upper and sole of the shoe to the princess. The people behind the princess followed their eyes to look at the two.

The princess looked at the upper and sole of the shoe and asked, "These two, which one you made with your own hands?" "After Jiang Wanmu lived in the palace, the princess has been indifferent to Jiang Wanmu, and she has never entered this courtyard, this time it is obvious that the good ones will not come. Jiang Wanmu said calmly: "I made the soles, and the uppers were made by the people around me." The princess's face was gloomy, and she clutched the soles of her shoes and said, "The girls of small families are better than you in beginner needlework." Look at your needle angle, one high, one low, one tight and one loose, even if you walk on the mountain road, you can't get out of your needle angle. ”

Jiang Wanmu nodded calmly and frankly and said, "The princess is right, I still have to practice needlework more." The princess's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Jiang Wanmu's hand and said, "I see that Wanyi's needlework is quite good, you are both sisters, why in terms of qualifications, one is in heaven and the other is on earth?" Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes and looked at her, and said indifferently: "Because I and she are in the Jiang family, we were born to be one in the sky and one in the ground." It was my fault that I was upset by the princess when I first practiced my handwork. ”

The princess stared at Jiang Wanmu, who dared to answer her words, and said with fierce eyes: "I don't care what your character is in the Jiang family." But if you are in the palace, you have to give me some peace, don't waste your efforts in vain, and want to deceive Hao'er's heart with clever words. I don't like a woman like you. If you want to live peacefully, this kind of cautious eye, don't fiddle in front of me," Jiang Wanmu is the kind of person who is strong when he is strong, and weak when he is weak. If the princess had spoken to her calmly, perhaps she had already softened her temperament.

Jiang Wanmu chuckled lightly and said, "Princess, I ask myself that I have a noble character, which is enough to face the people of the world. After I entered the palace, it should also be regarded as a safe point, I rarely go out of the courtyard door, this year, never in the palace more than one step. I have learned since I was a child that rhetoric can only deceive those who treat me well, and how can those who sneer at me deceive them. Princess, you think too highly of me in this regard. It's a pity that on the other hand, you look down on me too much, I have always only had myself, but I will never allow others to slander me, people like me like to break the net. ”
