Chapter 5: The Wind and the Clouds Are Unpredictable (2)
The next day, Li Wanjin took the customized gift box from the boss of Ah San, according to Li Wanjin's description, the old man he wanted to give was not a smoker, according to this, Bu Youran deliberately set up a small piece of powder and rouge in the box, and added lip grease with a diameter of less than one centimeter next to it, at the bottom of the box, it can also be gently buttoned open, and there is an ice silk scarf stored inside, which can be used for outdoor wiping.
After Li Wanjin saw it, he was full of praise.
After noon, Bu leisurely handed out the tailor-made clothes to the girls of Yihong Courtyard.
The girls can't put it down.
"What kind of material is this? So soft! ”
"Silk with a little bit of ice silk." Step leisurely and patiently answer one by one.
"It's such a beautiful dress, it's a pity that you can only wear it when you sleep." The girls were very sorry.
Bu leisurely chuckled, if these pajamas were really worn, I was afraid that they would soon be arrested by the government for the crime of disturbing the peace.
"It's so beautiful, it's a shame I can't wear it." The old bustard couldn't help but sigh, and walked to Bu Youran's side, "Let's see if there is any other way to make the girls enjoy themselves, and at the same time show their beauty." ”
After a little bit of her, Bu Youran suddenly had an idea, "There is a way." ”
"What?" The old bustard came in high spirits.
"Let the girls walk a show in their pajamas, but all the attendees must be women, preferably dignitaries, so that they can not only promote and sell, but also have a certain social effect."
"It's a great idea! If it works, won't the girls have another way out? The two hit it off, and they were busy preparing paper and ink, vacating a room, and began to plan for this catwalk show and the ladies of the various mansions who could appear.
It's been a few days.
The show has not yet opened, but it ushered in the fiftieth birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty.
The court is in turmoil, the people's hearts are slightly shaken, the left minister has just fallen, the emperor's faction is rising, and the queen mother chose to hold a birthday banquet at this time, which shows that the virtual is greater than the reality.
The birthday banquet is all personally managed by the right minister Li Daren, for the Empress Dowager Bo's joy, in addition to the imperial relatives and princes and ministers to give gifts, but also ordered in the palace for three consecutive days to celebrate the birthday banquet, the scale of the birthday banquet is unprecedented, in addition to all the princes to recall to Beijing, there are princesses to accompany the left and right to eat.
Lanterns are hung on both sides of the palace corridor, each with the word "Shou Shou" written on it, and all of them are lit at night with other decorations.
Bu Youran received an invitation from the palace, and he was apprehensive, but such a birthday celebration, and besides, he was the queen mother, so he couldn't refuse.
Han Qing didn't understand, if she had been so excited that she danced with her hands, Dong Li didn't understand, only the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard understood what she was worried about, after all, it was a palace holy place, she spoke cautiously, and her words and deeds should be more decent and elegant. Key point: Why did you invite her? She, a common man, invited her? If she was the wife of a high-ranking official, it would be fine, but she was nothing, and even in this kind of fireworks place, she didn't understand.
She didn't know the bottom of her heart, so she was worried.
Early this morning, the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard personally went into battle to set clothes for her, dress up, and send a sedan chair, she said, "You are the face of our Yihong Courtyard, no matter what, this happy event is still worthy of pride, since I invited you, it is to affirm your achievements, don't think too much, just do yours." ”
The old bustard deserves to be the master of Yihong Courtyard, and his words are leisurely and his mood is suddenly bright.
Every person who enters the palace must hold a sign and an invitation, carefully search it before entering, and the security work inside is even stricter, every short section, there is an army guard, and after passing through five doors in a row, it must be carefully checked as the first time.
The mood of the step was leisurely, until the last gate of the lì pass guò, entered the imperial garden, and saw the scenery in the garden.
Standing far away from the court, carefully looking, do not dare to rashly, all the trees here are carefully pruned, separated into east and west by a stone road, the east side is set up in turn, the east side is set up in turn, the west is set up Yanhui Pavilion, Yangxing Zhai, Qianqiu Pavilion and other buildings, as well as the four shrines, Lutai. The garden is full of ancient cypress and old acacia, green and evergreen, and potted flower pile scenery, which adds greenery in the garden and enriches the landscape level.
Walking leisurely along the verandah of the imperial garden to the inside, along the way I saw rows of palace maids holding trays of fish walking forward, about five meters, I heard the sound of talking and laughing in the courtyard, both men and women, presumably the ministers and their families invited tonight.
Walk leisurely around the verandah, to the rockery not far away, where the corner, hidden, not easy to be discovered, so that there can be less troublesome communication.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that someone thought the same as her.
Bu Youran finally found a place, and just as he was about to sit on the stone, a woman also walked over with a skirt, "Huh? ”
Huh, Concession raised his head leisurely, the light here was dim, but it was still difficult to hide the woman's stunning beauty, and Concession Leisurely couldn't help but be amazed.
Looking at the dress, a woman should be unusual.
After Bu Youran saw it clearly, he quickly stood up, "The folk girl doesn't know where the lady is......"
"Ma'am?" When she heard this salutation, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, "You call me Madame?" ”
No, isn't it?
"You don't know me?" The woman looked at Bu Youran in surprise.
Bu Youran frowned slightly, should she know her? Could it be a modern person who has traveled through time?
The woman in front of her was amazed, "Which house are you from?" ”
"People's Girl ......" Before she could clear up, she only heard a voice inserted behind her, "Step girl, are you here?" ”
He turned around leisurely, "Li Gongzi? ”
Li Wanjin wore a red brocade robe, which was very festive, and when he saw the woman beside him, he was surprised, "Lord Yanhua is also there?" ”
Princess?
When she heard this, she couldn't help but look at the woman in surprise.
"I originally thought that Brother Heshuo was here, but I didn't expect to run into her," Lord Yanhua said with a smile, "I won't talk to you, I have to go over there to have a look." After saying that, he ran away with a smoke.
Li Wanjin pointed to the back of the county lord of Yanhua, "She is the daughter of Lord Zhao, Zhao Yanhua, who grew up with the queen mother since she was a child, is extremely favored, everyone calls her the county lord of Yanhua, she is very smart and clever." ”
He nodded leisurely and turned his head to look at the other two people not far away.
Li Wanjin looked at it with a leisurely gaze, and introduced them one by one, but after all, it was limited, and the place in sight was too narrow, it was nothing more than two or three people, most of whom were ministers and wives of more than three grades in the imperial court.
With the introduction, the voices around him became smaller and smaller, and Li Wanjin looked left and right, "The Queen Mother is here, you are waiting for me here." With that, he ran out.
Bu leisurely leaned against the rockery, watched the people around him move forward little by little, until outside a pavilion, stopped, knelt on the ground, and shouted the Queen Mother's longevity without boundaries in his mouth.
Bu Youran saw this formation, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
After a long time, there was a sound of "get up"!
Bu Youran was still standing in the distance, his hands clasped in front of him, his head lowered, and his eyes did not dare to look at him.
In a moment, there were congratulations from men and women, followed by laughter from women.
Bu leisurely slowly raised his head, and finally had to look at the shape in front of him, about one or fifty women sat in the middle of the pavilion, with a kind face, a radiant face, clear facial features, and vaguely visible how beautiful and moon-like he was when he was young, presumably this person is the current queen mother. Her appearance was a little different from the one sketched in Bu Youran's mind.
Not far from the pavilion, kneeling were handsome men and women in good clothes, who called the woman in front of them the emperor's grandmother and offered congratulatory gifts.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and immediately ordered someone to give a reward.
So everyone saluted respectfully, received the reward, and then withdrew.
Standing in the distance, Bu leisurely watched the people around him who did not give gifts becoming fewer and fewer, and his mood became more and more worried, and he didn't know how to introduce it later.
Just as she hesitated, there was a sudden burst of discussion.
"Why is he here?"
"Isn't it that he was dismissed as a little marquis?"
“……”
Walking leisurely and following the sound, I saw a thin man kneeling on the ground, he was dressed in white, elegant and clean, and there was no congratulatory gift around him, just the back, her heart was like a flood pouring in, and the waves were so turbulent that it was difficult to calm down.
His appearance surprised everyone present, everyone knew his current humble situation, once sent people under the fence, but now he has been driven out of the Song family, and there is no protection from the Song family, he is just a lowly commoner, and he is not qualified to appear here at all.
Bu Youran thought that the Queen Mother would like him, so he specially sent out an invitation, but he saw that the Queen Mother was also surprised, which shows that this is not the case.
But Chu Jinyu's bold behavior, coupled with the two sleeves of the breeze without any congratulatory gifts, surprised everyone.
The Queen Mother was slightly annoyed, but she tried her best to endure it, firstly, after all, she valued this child very much, imagining that he might be like his father and could be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and secondly, his relationship with Zuo Tingyan, the prime minister, had always made her wonderful, but she didn't know that the result of the original revelation was so unbearable.
The Queen Mother's current situation is like an eagle with a nod on her arm, although she can continue to fly, but the length of distance and the control of the direction make her difficult to estimate.
The Chu Jinyu in front of him may be capable, but now he is more like a filth covered in, who sees it is disgusting, and whoever touches it is disgusted.
She held the head of the chair with both hands, and at this moment, she only heard a voice from below, "Wan Jin wishes the Queen Mother a long life and good health!" ”
The queen mother glanced at it, and was reminded by the eunuchs around her that she was the son of Li Xiang, although she did not agree with Li Xiang, but for the sake of face, she still had to do it all, and Li Wanjin was courteous in words and deeds, without any disgust to the queen mother, and the congratulatory gift sent to you was valuable enough and novel enough, which immediately attracted her attention.
The queen mother fiddled with this pure gold gift box left and right, and the more she studied, the more she loved it, and finally even forgot Chu Jinyu, who was still kneeling underneath, and forgot that Li Wanjin was the son of her enemy, and gave the highest reward in front of everyone.
Li Wanjin raised his eyebrows, not only glanced at Chu Jinyu who was still kneeling on the ground proudly, but was just about to retreat, and a delicate voice came, "The emperor's grandmother is eccentric, Yanhua's congratulatory gift was sent to you yesterday, you said that you like it very much, why didn't you give me so many rewards like Brother Wanjin?" ”
When the queen mother heard this, not only did she not feel angry, but smiled, "You kid...... Where did you just go? It took such a long time to appear? There was pampering in the words.
"Didn't I just go to help, but you blame me?"
Such words contradicted each other, but the Queen Mother was not the slightest bit angry, she smiled and beckoned, "You kid, it's good not to make trouble for your father." ”
"Imperial grandmother ......" Li Yanhua was coquettish unrelentingly, but the Queen Mother laughed more and more.
The laughter of the people around him was endless, which only set off Chu Jinyu's embarrassment at the moment.
The weather in February is still cold, and it is now night, even if Chu Jinyu does not kneel, even if he stands in place for so long, his legs have long felt numb.
After a while, no one sent a congratulatory gift, and Bu Youran's heart that was still hesitant became brave after seeing the white lonely back, she clenched her fists and took two steps.
"You said this gift box was invented by a little girl?" The Queen Mother looked at Li Wanjin in disbelief.
Li Wanjin nodded heavily.
"Is she here?" The Queen Mother looked left and right.
Li Wanjin seemed to have noticed Bu Youran and beckoned to her.
Bu Youran no longer hesitated, stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and sent blessings and congratulatory gifts just like all the ministers just now.
"What is this?" The Queen Mother's eyes lit up.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, this is a shawl, the specific method, if you don't dislike it, I can demonstrate it to you."
The Queen Mother nodded.
When I saw this shawl changing on the body of Bu Youran, it was a scarf, similar to a cloak, but smaller than the cloak and light in texture, beautiful and elegant. The Queen Mother liked it all of a sudden, and praised it repeatedly.
"You're really a clever girl, and you have a lot of ideas." The Queen Mother smiled, "If I reward you with silver, it must be superfluous...... Say, what reward do you want? ”
In this way, it was the envy of everyone present.
Since the Queen Mother has released these words, she must have made sufficient preparations, and it is not a problem to ask for a female official if she is leisurely.
However, Bu Youran was not carried away by the reward, the official position and rewards were all virtual things, she didn't want these restraints and burdens, she glanced at the white shadow that was still kneeling on the ground, and thought about it again and again, knowing that she could not intercede for one person, it would definitely make enemies, so she smiled slyly, "Queen Mother, please allow everyone present to join hands to dance for you." ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, and then laughed, "Why not?" That's it! ”
The accompaniment of the palace music on one side ......
Bu Youran stood up and turned his head, seeing that Chu Jinyu had already been picked up, his eyes looked at her with deep meaning, his fair complexion looked a little pale under the moonlight, or maybe he had knelt for too long, he had endured it to his limit, and his sharpened chin was a little different from what she remembered, and he looked a little depressed at this time, especially in this deceitful palace, in this powerful crowd, his existence seemed humble.
It can't help but be heart-wrenching to watch.
In the vast crowd, the two looked at each other in the air, and the moment they looked at each other, they were like lightning and thunder.
Bu Youran's eyebrows tightened, and she forgot to cover it up at this moment, however, at this moment, to her surprise, Chu Jinyu smiled leisurely......
He turned away, and instead of walking towards the crowd that had formed a circle under the light of the palace lamp, he turned his back to them and walked towards a dark path.
