Chapter 180: Self-inflicted affection, self-inflicted humiliation
The Seventh Prince called, "Miss Jiang is here to dine at the restaurant today?" ”
"I heard that this restaurant has new dishes, so I brought the maid over to try it." Jiang Huairou smiled back.
After hearing this, the Seventh Prince immediately instructed the men around him, "Tell me to go down and ask the guys below to entertain Miss Jiang and not to be lazy." ”
Guy said yes again and again.
After Jiang Huairou and the Seventh Prince took a photo, the Seventh Prince went to the backyard to check the accounts.
Jiang Huairou went to the guest room and ordered a table of dishes with Xiao Er.
Seeing that Jiang Huairou only had two masters and servants, Xiao Er couldn't help asking, "Miss Jiang, will you not be able to finish eating so many dishes when you order so many dishes?" ”
The maid replied on behalf of Jiang Huairou: "It's okay, I heard that there are a lot of new dishes in the store, so my young lady will order some of them are often fresh." ”
It's just that in my heart, I was thinking that the young lady had to get the golden beetle son-in-law of the Seventh Prince as soon as possible, otherwise the silver given by the lady would not be enough to spend.
Even if a table of dishes costs a lot of silver, Jiang Huairou is not distressed at all.
The Seventh Prince is rich and rivals the country, as long as she becomes the woman of the Seventh Prince, she will have silver flowers in the future!
After a stick of incense, the guys in the restaurant served the dishes one after another.
Jiang Huairou stared at the dishes on the table and said in surprise: "Man, I don't seem to have ordered this plate of spicy beef."
Man: "This plate of spicy beef is a new dish in our store, and the seventh prince specially asked the little one to send it to the girl." ”
Jiang Huairou immediately replied flatteredly: "Please help me thank the prince, and if you can, help me tell the seventh prince, and say that I also have something to give him." ”
The fellow smiled and went out.
In order to maintain her figure, Jiang Huairou didn't eat much of the meals on the table.
Anyway, those dishes are used to support the scene, not to eat.
The maid beside Jiang Huairou only tasted a little, and then didn't eat it.
The master and servant waited in the guest room for half an hour, but they didn't wait for the seventh prince.
Maid: "Miss, do you think the Seventh Prince will not come?" Or has he already left the restaurant? ”
"Let's wait and see." The Seventh Prince must come, she is still waiting to give him a gift!
After the master and servant waited for another stick of incense, the Seventh Prince was late.
As soon as he entered the house, the Seventh Prince had the usual smile on his face, "This king is checking the accounts, so Miss Jiang has been waiting for a long time." ”
"I'm the one who bothered the prince." Jiang Huairou smiled back.
The Seventh Prince found a chair in the room and sat down, "I heard from the guy in the store that Miss Jiang has something to give to this king?" ”
Jiang Huairou nodded, and said shyly, "Every time, the prince sends me something, and I also want to send some small things back to the prince." ”
Then, she glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid handed a delicate small square box to the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince didn't answer, but asked, "What's in here?" ”
Jiang Huairou hung her head and said in a thin voice: "The prince will know when he opens it." ”
The Seventh Prince took the box at this time, opened it, and saw that inside the box was a water-blue silk handkerchief.
"Bang dang!"
The next moment, the box in the hand of the Seventh Prince smashed to the ground.
Hearing this sound, Jiang Huairou was a little nervous, "Does the prince not like the color of the handkerchief, or does he not like the pattern embroidered on the handkerchief?" ”
The Seventh Prince put away his usual smile, and his expression became serious, "Good and decent, why did Miss Jiang send a handkerchief to this king?" ”
It was the first time for Jiang Huairou to see the Seventh Prince so serious, and she was a little frightened for a while, "Just what I just said... Every time, the prince gave me something, and I couldn't help it, so I embroidered a handkerchief and sent it back to the prince. ”
"Huh, return the favor?" The Seventh Prince pointed to the handkerchief on the ground, "Miss Jiang shouldn't know what it means for the girl to give a man's handkerchief, right?" ”
In the Eastern Liang Kingdom, if a woman gives a handkerchief to a man, it is to express her affection, and she only gives it to her lover!
If the man does not accept it, it is not interesting to the woman.
Once the man accepts the handkerchief, it is considered a love affair between the two.
Jiang Huairou raised her head and looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief, "Don't you know what I mean by this?" ”
Obviously, he took the initiative to give her something every time, but now he asked such words to humiliate her!
The Seventh Prince: "Miss Jiang, I think... Is there any misunderstanding between you and this king? ”
"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Huairou said with a sad face: "When I met you in your rouge shop, you gave me a box of small rouge." ”
"I'll go to your cloth shop to buy cloth, and you will give me a piece of fine silk."
"Now that I'm dining in your restaurant, and you've asked someone to send you a plate of beef, are these... Is it all a misunderstanding? ”
"Miss Jiang, these are really misunderstandings." The Seventh Prince explained: "I give you something, it is completely out of care for regular customers, even if you are a man, as long as you often take care of the shop under my name, I will also give you a little gadget, this is called retaining regular customers!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Huairou looked at the Seventh Prince with shame and gritted her teeth.
The Seventh Prince's words showed that he was not interesting to her, in the final analysis, all this was her wishful thinking, self-inflicted affection, and self-inflicted humiliation!
After everything was explained clearly, the Seventh Prince got up and said: "Okay, Miss Jiang, since we have all spoken, it is better to keep our distance when we meet in the future, in addition, this king advises you that women should be self-respecting and self-loving." ”
In his opinion, Jiang Huairou's behavior of taking the initiative to give a handkerchief to a man is a frivolous manifestation of no self-respect and no self-love!
He doesn't know what other men like, anyway, he doesn't like this kind of overly active woman.
There is no feminine subtlety at all!
After the Seventh Prince left, Jiang Huairou closed the door and cried on the table in the guest room.
The maid Hongzhan comforted her on the side, "Don't be sad, little master, you are so good, you will definitely meet a good man who likes you......"
Jiang Huairou: "Woo woo woo ......"
Hongzhan: "The slave maid heard that tonight, a poetry club in Beijing has a poetry lantern meeting, and all talented men and women in Beijing will participate in this poetry meeting." ”
"It is said that... In the past, poetry clubs have led to a lot of good marriages, do you want to try it? It's good to just relax......"
Jiang Huairou desperately wants to find a wishful husband in Beijing, so as to gain a firm foothold in Beijing.
As soon as she heard that there was a poetry lantern festival at night, she stopped crying, so as not to swell her eyes from crying, and it would not look good at night.
The master and servant stayed in the restaurant until the evening, had dinner, and went straight to the poetry club.
By the time they got there, there were already many men and women present.
Jiang Huairou handed over the silver and entered the poetry club.
The Poetry Lantern Festival is to write the poems you want to write on the lantern, and the people of the Poetry Society will hang the lanterns in the Poetry Society.
If there is someone who appreciates poetry, I will contact the poetry club and get to know the person who writes poetry.
After Jiang Huairou received a lamp, she first wrote a sentence on the lamp, "If you don't see each other, how can you be ruthless."
Then, another poem was written on the lamp.
"Falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, flowing water is ruthless in love with falling flowers, good poems, good poems......" Jiang Huairou just wrote another poem, and a man on the side read out her poem.
She was in a bad mood today, and turned her head to look at the man with a displeased expression.
Just one glance, she was stunned.
Standing beside her was a handsome man dressed in brocade.
The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his right hand was shaking a fan gracefully, and he was looking at her with a smile.
Seeing that the other party was well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, he must not be an ordinary person, Jiang Huairou smiled politely at the other party.
Then, she handed the lantern in her hand to the people of the Poetry Society and asked them to help hang the lantern.
It just so happened that the handsome man was also writing poems on the side, and he also read while writing, "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good......"
Jiang Huairou only glanced at the man obliquely, and then took the maid's red lamp and started to visit the poetry lantern festival.
Both sides of the poetry meeting are hung with orange and red lanterns, on which various verses are written.
On both sides of the road, there are vendors selling all kinds of things.
Jiang Huairou mainly visits poetry lamps and appreciates poems.
If you come across something you like, stop by once in a while to buy a gadget.
As I walked around, I heard someone talking in my ear: "I saw that the girl looked sad and made such a sad love poem, but she was hurt by the other party?" ”
Jiang Huairou looked back and saw that it was the handsome son from before who was talking to him, and the man was followed by three or two servants and guards.
If this is replaced by someone else, Hongzhan will scold him for becoming a disciple.
But when she saw that the other party was dressed in brocade clothes, and there were many servants and guards behind her, she didn't squeak.
In case the other party is a prince and nobleman, she can't afford to offend.
The key is that this one is much better looking than the Seventh Prince, so it is not impossible for the young lady to get to know each other with him.
Jiang Huairou shook her head and denied it, "When the little girl first arrived in the capital, how could she come to her liking, and please don't talk nonsense." ”
"It's me who is abrupt." The handsome boy smiled and said, "Since the girl didn't like anyone, why did she write two sad poems?" ”
"......" Jiang Huairou pursed her lips and thought about it before replying: "It is a close friend of mine, I was hurt by a negative man a while ago, I pity her, so I have a feeling and have such a poem." ”
Handsome Son: "I see......"
In this way, the two chatted while visiting the poetry meeting, and it was an hour to stroll.
An hour later, the poetry meeting was over, and Jiang Huairou said softly: "It's not too early, I and the maid are going back." ”
"On this big night, the girl was born so beautiful, but she only brought a maid by her side, I'm afraid it's not safe." The handsome man invited: "Why don't you take the carriage with me, and I will send her back." ”
Jiang Huairou wanted to refuse, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on the man's waist.
It was a piece of mutton fat jade with a warm texture, engraved with intricate python patterns......
