Chapter 19 is all about temptation

Then I saw a beautiful woman wearing a snowflake brocade embroidered with a thousand-colored peony pattern skirt walking in, although there were three children before and after, but the figure of Lu Muchu, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, was still very good. Coupled with her natural beauty, she has always maintained the best among the ladies of the imperial capital, and now she is in her thirties, still like a little woman in her twenties.

After all, she is the eldest princess of the imperial court, even if the Bai family is the eldest sister-in-law and has an order, she has to get up and salute, not to mention Shi He's who has no order.

Bai Shi took the leader and said: "I have seen the eldest princess, I haven't seen her for more than half a year, the eldest princess is getting younger and more beautiful, not like the concubine, she was sick in the middle of the year, although she is not a few years older than the princess, but now when she goes out, everyone has to say that the concubine is more than ten years older than the princess." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing smiled slightly: "It turned out to be the sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law is too sorry for this, Sister Ping is so old, and when she participates in the draft in the next year, she is not far from getting married, how can I still be as young as I was back then?"

On the surface, it means to be polite with Bai, but the implication is that there is no complaint about Bai's mention of age.

Although Shi He's was a noble daughter of the imperial capital before she got married, her life in Jiangyin for more than ten years has almost smoothed out her noble temperament, and she is also cringe when she speaks, but she can't understand the meaning of the eldest princess, and she echoes: "Yes, princess, and the last time I saw you, I thought you were young and beautiful, and now I feel that your demeanor is really the same." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing really sank her face, although there was still a far-fetched smile on the corner of her mouth, He Chang'an, who was closer to her, heard a cold snort that was almost inaudible.

He Chang'an looked at the second aunt with a wrong eye, and then looked at the Bai family, it is true that Zhaoxing Changgong is younger than the Bai family, but it is not as exaggerated as the Bai family said: "Chang'an has seen the eldest princess, I wish the eldest princess eternal beauty and longevity." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing seemed to be kind and took He Chang'an: "It's all my own family, what is my niece doing so politely?" Speaking of which, the last time you fell into the water, the second aunt was also very worried, but your sister Ping's draft is imminent, and there are too many chores in the house, and the second aunt has to teach her personally, so she didn't take the time to visit. But even so, the second aunt is still worried about you, how about it, the best wild ginseng sent by the second aunt will give you to replenish your body, but you used it?"

He Chang'an wondered in her heart, she had never seen any good wild ginseng sent by Princess Zhaoxing, but no matter how arrogant Princess Zhaoxing was, there was no reason to scold her like this and then let her pretend to be gracious.

The Bai family on the side also had a bad face, which affirmed He Changan's thoughts even more, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing sent something to Gong Changbo's mansion, but when she arrived at the Bai family, what good wild ginseng and the like had already been filled by the old lady Liu, and most of the rest were worthless things.

Chang'an thought about it, then grinned and said: "Since the eldest princess doesn't tell Chang'an about court etiquette, then Chang'an will call the eldest princess a second aunt, the second aunt is talking about the red ginseng, the second aunt sent a lot of things are the queen mother's private room, the red ginseng I think is excellent, usually reluctant to use it to stew medicinal food, but every day carefully cut a small piece for soaking in water." The red ginseng flavor is also good, and only a thin slice is needed, and the flavor can be soaked in a day. ”

Laughing secretly in her heart, the red ginseng was obviously given to her by the Bai family to replenish her body, as for whether the eldest princess could understand the meaning of her words, this was not something she should consider.

Sure enough, the eldest princess of Zhaoxing twisted her eyebrows, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said something else: "Yes, the red ginseng was rewarded by the Queen Mother, the most rare, I saw that it was good for Chang'an's body, so I also sent it over, Chang'an doesn't have to feel distressed, if you drink it, the second aunt still has more here, take it, and it doesn't hurt to stew some medicinal food." ”

As he spoke, he sent a mother behind him to the library to get ginseng.

Princess Zhaoxing obviously didn't send red ginseng over, it is said that the wild ginseng is also much more valuable than the red ginseng, if Chang'an really received the wild ginseng, it is impossible to put the wild ginseng without saying, just say the red ginseng, then where did the wild ginseng go, but you can check it.

For the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, wild ginseng is not a particularly valuable thing, and the important thing is not how much silver this thing is worth, but the gift that was originally sent to visit the patient, it should have been all sent to He Chang'an, and now among the things He Chang'an has seen, the wild ginseng is gone, so how many good things can there be?

The eldest princess, the things she sends can't be put on the table, this is a matter related to the face of the clan!

It's impossible not to be serious about such a problem!

Chang'an will stop at the point, as for whether the eldest princess of Zhaoxing will check it or not, it is the eldest princess's own business, but the arrogant temperament of the eldest princess has hit the abacus on top of her head, and it is estimated that she will not be soft.

I watched how the old lady Liu dealt with this difficult daughter-in-law!

After talking to Chang'an for a long time, the eldest princess seemed to have noticed that there was another person beside Chang'an, and showed a surprised look: "Ah, where is this daughter? ”

The greeting post was sent over yesterday afternoon, and it was clearly written who would come to visit, and now the three of them have seen it, and it is impossible for the eldest princess not to know that it is Shi Qi, the eldest daughter of Shi He's family, and now this posture is clearly the eldest princess because of the unpleasant words that Shi He said before, and they are snubbing Shi Qi!

Shi Qi could see it clearly, what her mother said just now was taboo, but this place was not Gongchangbo's Mansion after all, and the eldest princess was already angry, so she couldn't say anything to mention Shi He's family, and now the eldest princess said that she was here after a long time, and she was obviously angry.

"Shi Qi, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Jiangyin, has seen the eldest princess, and wishes the eldest princess a full of happiness and a harmonious family. Shi Qi arrived at a thousand blessings, and his mouth was full of auspicious words.

It's not a stupid child, the eldest princess thought to herself, the corner of her mouth tugged, gave Shi Qi a fairly natural smile, and helped Shi Qi up: "The granddaughter of the Marquis of Jiangyin, that is the eldest daughter of the sister-in-law? The last time the sister-in-law came back, you were still young, so I didn't bring you back, so I haven't seen you, I don't know that you are so old, and you are still slim." ”

He Changan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the eldest princess still felt that Shi Qi was not bad, and she did not look down on Shi Qi because Shi He's was unclear, if the eldest princess really felt that Shi Qi was an upper stage, today's plan could not be implemented.

Shi Qi responded: "The little girl has never seen the second aunt, and she has long known that the second aunt is the proud daughter of the sky, and she was a model of a noble girl when she was still in the boudoir, so she admired it very much, and now when she sees it, she really thinks that the second aunt is very magnificent." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing was also happy to be coaxed by Shi Qi, so she took off two orange jade bracelets with good color from both wrists: "These two bracelets are still used by Queen Rui to fill in my makeup when I became a monk, I heard that it is also the things in Queen Rui's own dowry, and other makeup fillers are from the palace, but this pair of bracelets made by the natural couple, but they are made by Queen Rui herself, I have cherished them for so many years, and now I will give them to you." ”

Shi Qi said that this thing was too valuable, and resolutely refused to accept it.

The eldest princess smiled with satisfaction, sending such a valuable thing out, it was nothing more than testing this child again, this child refused to accept it, that is to carry it clearly, if she accepted it happily, but her eyelids were shallow, and it was not worth taking a look at herself.

Only then did he speak enthusiastically: "My niece is really too restrained and polite, since my aunt gave it to you, how can I take it back?" Although this thing is very valuable, no matter how valuable it is, it is just a piece of silver, and no amount of silver can express the aunt's intentions, right?"

The two bracelets should be put on Shi Qi's wrist: "Speaking of which, this bracelet is also fated to you, you see that Queen Herui is your cousin Chang'an's cousin, and I am your aunt, they are all related to each other, and you can afford to give it to you, they are all family, why be so polite? Besides, this orange jade bracelet also matches your outfit." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoxing didn't say it, Chang'an didn't think about it originally, but now she looked at Shi Qi, the set of clothes she went back to change was really orange and yellow, although it was not as dazzling as Shi He's purple, but the flowers on it were all hand-embroidered, and it didn't look ordinary.

It seems that Shi He's heard from the Bai family that it was better to go to the eldest princess's mansion to dress more gorgeously, so he turned out all the good clothes at the bottom of Shi Qi's box!

The words have come to this point, if Shi Qi doesn't accept it again, it will seem that she is not interesting, so she also promised: "Since the second aunt said this, then Shi Qi is better to be respectful than obey her fate." Shi Qi thought about coming to see her second aunt earlier, and she also brought a little gift to her second aunt. ”

As he spoke, he asked Hongxing to bring up the two gift boxes, and when he opened them, it turned out to be two embroidered handkerchiefs.

Shi Qi also knows that her aunt is a princess, what kind of good things have she never seen. So this little gadget was embroidered by Shi Qi herself, and the picture is a mind. Moreover, the Shi family lives in Jiangyin, and that place is not far from Hangzhou silk and Suzhou embroidery, and Shi Qi has taught Suzhou embroidery techniques with the master who taught embroidery at home since he was a child, which may not be much different from that of the imperial capital. ”

After a pause, he personally took out the two handkerchiefs: "This one embroidered with peonies is for my aunt." The other party is embroidered with roses, which is for Cousin Ping. Su embroidery is slightly more detailed, but there is no embroidery method in the imperial capital on the table, so my aunt and cousin keep it to play in private, which is also the blessing of this veil. ”

This gift made He Changan deeply surprised, looking at the exquisiteness of these two handkerchiefs, it is definitely not a day or two, why Shi Qi doesn't want to come out, but he wants to give such an exquisite return gift?
