"The red 10 taels of silver, the green 500 money, the yellow 100 money, madam, hello eyes, look at this red one, this is the best ancient jade, the treasure of this small shop, Mrs. take it, look, more foil your temperament...... Just want the red ones......"
Miao Lian put down the red and green ones, only looked at the yellow ones, and held them up, "Ye Jia, do you think this is good-looking?" β
Without waiting for him to answer, he put it on his hand with a smile.
Seeing that she had only chosen the cheapest one, the peddler hurriedly encouraged, "Madam, is it better to be red for you...... Well, I'll give you a discount...... You said to the public, didn't you?? You see, does Madame look better in red? β
Feng Miaolian could hear this voice, madam, smiling, but she felt a feeling of a fireworks couple. is like every pair of men and women who pass by.
They are all ordinary people, they have to worry about three meals a day, worry about the harvest in the field, worry about the growth of cattle and sheep, worry about whether their children will become successful, choose cheap things to buy, and want to break a penny in half...... However, they don't have to worry about being hunted down at any time.
It's plain, but it's warm, and a lifetime has passed like this.
The difference between a jade bracelet with 10 taels of silver and a jade bracelet with 100 coins is not big, it is nothing more than a superfluous accessory.
She grinned, did not answer the peddler's instigation, only paid him, and quickly put the jade bracelet on alive.
At this time, Ye Jia noticed that she had no half of the jewelry on her body, and she didn't bring anything out. In the past, he had seen her wear everything of the first class, from her girlhood to the queen, for 20 years, she was extremely proficient in eating, drinking, and dressing up.
Silk garments should be matched with red gemstones; Zhaoyi's court dress should be matched with heavy pearls; As for the heavy gold and silver jewelry, it was basically never in her consideration; Even agate jadeite is often only worn once, and after appearing once in front of the concubines, it is basically locked in a heavy jewelry box, and then, the next appearance, it will always be replaced with new jewelry.
Jewelry, often a symbol of a woman's status.
At that time, her whole life was to dress up in fancy clothes, as if this was the only duty and obligation of life and the purpose of survival - to maintain the best appearance and demeanor anytime, anywhere, and not to be compared to others in front of the emperor's husband. If at a certain banquet, there is a certain concubine who dresses more ingeniously than her, she will be annoyed for a long, long time, for fear that His Majesty will be attracted by her fancy and colorful because of this.
Jewelry.
Jewelry.
What an inseparable topic for women.
Even if Ye Jia is an outsider, he also knows the difference between those jewelry and the current stall side goods.
She is a woman who loves beauty very much, from the accessories to the matching of clothes, she strives to be perfect, and the slightest mistake will regret it for a long time.
He remembered that when he was in Beiwudang, Tuoba Hong invited the two of them to enjoy the snow, but after waiting for a long time, Miaolian didn't come out, and urged again and again, her maid always said, wait, wait, the young lady has not dressed up yet...... Tuoba Hong was in a hurry, and complained half-truthfully: "I've known Miaolian for so many years, and I've never seen her look without makeup, Ye Jia, have you seen it?" Have you seen it? β
He couldn't remember how he answered, and he didn't care. It was only after many years that he often saw her undressed and dead face. For him, he had seen the best or the worst of her, and he would not be surprised at any time.
At this time, she walked beside him, caged her sleeves, the rough jade bracelet bought by the stall for 100 yuan, and the hot air in her mouth, as soon as she encountered the cold frost outside, it condensed, like a little old woman.
But he looked at her more carefully than ever.
When she noticed his gaze, she laughed: "Ye Jia, why are you looking at me like this? β
"Miao Lian, you have suffered hardship."
She laughed hehe, suffering? Is this considered hardship? She was full of interest: "Ye Jia, I remember that when I first entered the palace, I saw the Queen Mother for the first time, and she gave me an extremely exquisite gold necklace...... Hehe, there is such a big carving on it, with three gems inlaid in the middle, I thought at that time, I can have whatever jewelry I want in the future...... Later, as I grew up, I slowly understood that if I wanted to achieve this dream, then I had to be the emperor's wife......"
She saw that Ye Jia listened seriously, and stuck out her tongue: "Haha, at that time, I was so scheming." In order to make His Majesty infatuated with me and fall in love with me, I really tried my best and best to show him every time I met, and I did not show any flaws at all......"
"Finally, Your Majesty is in love with me...... I also please the Queen Mother, and I am obedient to the Queen Mother, just like a daughter and mother...... So, I succeeded in marrying His Majesty, and from then on, I could wear whatever I wanted...... However, those days are not easy...... In order to keep this glory and wealth for a long time, and to keep this feeling of being alone, I tremble almost every day more than when I was a girl...... Ye Jia, you don't know that feeling: you have to maintain a proper smile every day, maintain grace and generosity, maintain etiquette and temperament...... Don't make a lot of noise, don't shout, and don't take half a wrong step......"
ββ¦β¦ It was so hard until I got sick...... Only then did I know that the whole world suddenly collapsed...... Everything that has been painstakingly created in the past is actually just an illusion...... I don't dare let Your Majesty see me so ugly...... At first, I didn't understand at all, if he saw it, if he had treated me and cared for me, maybe, I would have been much better sooner...... Won't leave the palace either...... However, at that time, I did not dare to take this risk...... I thought that once a woman loses her beauty, her sky will completely collapse, and she will have no life and no future......"
In fact, how can mortals be without flaws? Eat and drink, eat and drink, Lazar. Just like when we read romance and watch idol dramas, of course, it will not describe whether the hero and heroine will go to the toilet and fart...... Let's just say that Sister Lin is such a jade and ice beauty, has she never shit and farted in her life?
Do you know why the lively beauties in the Grand View Garden get a lot of people every time? Because when they are at a party, when they are drinking, when they are singing poems, they may not be able to hold back and let out a fartβif there are many people, everyone laughs and makes noise, and there is a barbecue stall next to it...... Then, all this ugliness is covered up.
