After a light rain, all kinds of small flowers scattered in the yard bloomed one after another.

The only difference is that there are more than a dozen tulips of various colors from across the plane.

For this kind of color is richer than the eighteen bachelors, a plant and a flower collocation, the Shen family showed different interests, Xu Lao is committed to studying its medicinal value, and he has to pick a few petals every day.

Shen Xingqi was simply curious about its different colors, and after appreciating it, he also embroidered it on the handkerchief, which was also the only one in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Cheng Daqian didn't care at all after a glance, and for him, improving his ability always came first.

Shen Xingluo. Shen Xingluo's indifferent expression was steady, as if the dozen or so flowers did not exist.

And Cheng Xi, who was idle for a whole winter and was about to grow hair, received invitations from various houses one after another, and all kinds of flower-viewing banquets were simply varied, such as pear blossoms, peach blossoms, and peonies. It seems that every house has a single characteristic garden that occupies a large area.

In such a comparison, the tea banquet and the green banquet seem very niche.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to the flower feast?"

"Go."

Cheng Xi corrected her, "But it's not me, it's us." ”

"Ah, can I not go?"

Shen Xingqi's face was full of resistance, if she had a dispensable state for the banquet in the backyard before, it would be good to go out to see the world if she had nothing to do.

But since the trip to the end of the world, isn't it more exciting to hold the tablet and watch Huan Huan and Yiyi?

"You're afraid you've forgotten you're done."

"So these invitations have anything to do with me?"

"Of course, a hundred families beg for it."

“！”

Shen Xingqi's little pot friend was suddenly shocked, "Sister-in-law, good sister-in-law~ I don't want to get married so early~~~~"

Cheng Xi's arm was about to be twisted into a twist, and her whole body was shaking like this.

"It's not that you should get married now, calm down, just choose in advance."

"Sooner or later, you still have to get married? Sister-in-law, don't you love me? ”

"It's okay not to marry, your brother and I are not so old-fashioned, it's better to marry home."

“.”

As the wife of the family of an official of the Hanlin Academy, diplomacy is inevitable, and it is resolute not to go, but the choice of which one to go to is very flexible.

Cheng Xi didn't find an unhappy hobby for himself, and he didn't plan to embarrass his sister-in-law, so the few families he selected were all mansions that didn't have a school-age son in the family and were willing to make friends with the Shen family and didn't have so much trouble.

In short, all three are indispensable.

Shen Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief, and in a blink of an eye, he dressed up and followed into the carriage with great interest.

So the aunt and sister-in-law enjoyed the flowers and drank tea, and at the same time listened to the gossip in Beijing.

It is said that the eldest princess is about to give birth.

It is said that all the major villages on the outskirts of Beijing grow a high-yield crop called potatoes.

It is said that the palace of the great prince has been full of doctors in recent days.

It is said that the marriage of the prince of Wu'an Hou Mansion and the concubine of Jiang Mansion is imminent.

When the Shen family received the wedding card from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, it was late March, and a large number of potato seedlings in the field burst out, and the golden corn kernels planted had also sprouted green sprouts early.

Before the wedding, Cheng Xi took Shen Xingqi to Jiang's mansion, and when he arrived at his partner's boudoir, the rest of the people had already arrived.

Qu Shaoya, Qin Nan and Song Yan all sent makeup, exquisite gold hairpins, exquisitely carved jade ornaments, or low-key and luxurious steps, showing the heritage of the great family.

The two of them looked down at the wooden box that was about to be sent out:.

Shen Xingqi: 'I'll just say it's a little low-key, sister-in-law? ’

Cheng Xi: 'No, it's high-profile. ’

Although the two have different opinions, they have the same idea at the same time - they already know that they also give exquisite jewelry!

"What did Sister Cheng and Sister Xingqi give?"

"yes, yes, open it and let's see!"

Several people looked at them and coaxed, and they all wanted to know what makeup was, which belonged to the small love between ancient girlfriends.

Jiang Yuyao's eyes fell on the two wooden boxes, and as soon as her heart moved, she knew that it was a gift prepared by the two of them, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

According to etiquette, it is completely okay for the Shen family to send a copy of makeup, and Shen Xingqi prepared a separate copy, which shows that she attaches great importance to her friend.

"Thank you Sister Cheng and Sister Xingqi for bothering me."

"What's this, you can't be sloppy when you get married."

"Yes, Sister Jiang's upcoming marriage is a lifelong event, I hope you like it."

Shen Xingqi pushed the two boxes forward.

"I definitely like it."

Jiang Yuyao took it with a smile and slowly opened the box under a few pairs of curious eyes next to her.

Qu Shaoya and the others knew the background of the Shen family, and they had already thought of a rhetoric in their hearts, even if the jewelry in the box was too common, they had to boast about the flowers, no matter what it was, it was a part of people's hearts.

What's more, Jiang Yuyao is handsome and comes from a scholarly family, both in appearance and temperament, she is very capable of playing, even if she has a wooden hairpin on her head, she can be elegant and dignified.

However, when the words that were about to be exported were swallowed back when they saw the contents of the box, several people were shocked on the spot as if they had been clicked on by a martial arts master for a moment.

After a moment of silence, there was a gasp.

"Oh my God, is this a glass mirror?"

"Wow, what a clear mirror!"

"Baby, I look like this?"

In the wooden box is a palm-sized flat mirror, the mirror surface is smooth and free of impurities, and the pores on the human face are clearly visible.

Jiang Yuyao saw herself clearly in the mirror because of the closest.

"This, this is too expensive for me to want."

Glass mirror, the whole Dayan can't find so few.

I think that a wealthy merchant who sailed to the sea once dedicated a small mirror to the palace, which was a sensation in the capital at that time, and the value of thousands of gold was not enough to describe its preciousness.

"Sister Cheng, how can I receive such a valuable gift? You'd better take it back. ”

Although the rest of the people remained silent and did not participate in the refusal of the host's family, the expressions on their faces reflected the same truth—the gift was indeed valuable.

Although Cheng knew that glass mirrors were scarce, he didn't expect them to be so scarce - Xi: "."

Shen Shan knew that the glass mirror was valuable, but he didn't know anything about the price of glass in Dayan-Xingqi: "."

The two sisters-in-law were confused.

This gift seems to be, probably, maybe, a little too shocking?

"Well, this glass mirror is actually not rare."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Qu Shaoya et al.: "."

Shen Xingqi, who has seen the world, saw the expressions of "I'll listen to you quietly" on the faces of his friends, and suddenly felt a little like crying without tears.

My sister-in-law is right, this gift is not low-key at all.

She was wrong, she only knew that she had seen the world, and thought that there would be a few pieces of glass mirrors in the capital full of treasures, even if there were not many, and she never expected it to be so rare.

"Ah, we once met a merchant ship that went to sea, and there was a person on the ship who was seriously ill and continued to use medicinal herbs, and we exchanged a century-old ginseng for a few glass mirrors."

Yes, that's right, that's all.

The little girl who lied for the first time stumbled and finally came back to the story.

He even nodded his little head to show the truth of his words.

"There are still a few pieces of this glass mirror in the house, which are really not as valuable as you think, right, sister-in-law?"

"Uh-yes."

Cheng Xi smiled clearly at the corner of his eyes.

Alas, her little girl is so cute even if she lies, what can I do~

And after hearing the words "exchange for a century-old ginseng" on the other side, I really believed it.

After all, most of the backyard ladies below the rank of fifth-grade officials in the capital know that the Shen family lacks everything, except ginseng!

Gifts for congratulatory banquets will give ginseng - by Mrs. Shen.

"Since it's Sister Xingqi's heart, then I'll accept it with a cheeky face."

So Jiang Yuyao re-closed the wooden box under the envious eyes of her friends, isolating all prying eyes (Qu Shaoya and others: Hey! gaze.

Shen Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes moved to another small wooden box that had never been opened, and she realized that this was the makeup that came from her hand.

“.”

#所以她刚才为什么要急着解释#

#明明就是嫂嫂的锅#

#果然好孩子是不可以说谎的#

￣へ￣

At this time, Cheng Xi had already opened another wooden box, "This is the lipstick made by Xingqi herself, there are a total of 24 different reds, I hope Sister Yuyao likes it." ”

Jiang Yuyao and the others looked towards the wooden box, and saw 24 columnar objects of different colors but very similar to each other stacked in the wooden box, a row of 8 in a total of three rows, as neat as a line of soldiers.

"Is this lipstick? What a strange shape! ”

"Wow, are there so many kinds of red!"

"Ah, it seems to be the same, what's the difference?"

Another pleasant exclamation came and went.

Shen Xingqi said that he was numb.

However, this gift was indeed made by her, and the final interpretation has to belong to her.

"Yes, it's all lipstick. There are indeed 24 different shades of red, which are actually very different, and Sister Yuyao can usually apply different colors according to different skin tones or different occasions."

"Wow-"

"Wow!"

Qu Shaoya felt that her daily life as a noble girl in the first fifteen years was simply in vain, and she didn't know that lipstick could be matched differently depending on the occasion.

It's outrageous.

Shen Xingqi didn't expect that just a lipstick could attract the amazement of his girlfriends.

The Great Yan Dynasty was not bad at innovating in terms of fat powder, which was divided into two types: paper and paste, the latter of which was usually stored in delicate porcelain vases carved with different patterns.

And the reason why she makes her own lipstick - strictly speaking, lipstick - is still inspired by several Qing court dramas, watching Huan Huan wear different colors of lipstick in different periods to kill all sides, it is simply exciting!

So the little girl came up with the idea of making it herself, and after tossing all the flowers in the yard (except the tulips), she also achieved a small success.

"What kind of red is tomato red, and what is grapefruit, ah? A fruit? ”＼(◎o◎)／

"Is Masamiya Red the Shogong I thought?" (｀Д)!!

Shen Xingqi, Shen Xingqi was very helpless, so she could only popularize the vocabulary she had recently learned to her friends one by one.

Not surprisingly, the harvest is a bunch of wow wow oh oh.

"Xingqi Xingqi, is this fat difficult to make?"

Qu Shaoya's star eyes.

The rest of the people also had the words "I really want to do handicrafts, but this thing is so delicate, will it involve the secret recipe, should I ask if I should ask it".

Shen - inexplicably understood-Xingqi twitched the corners of his mouth, and for the first time realized that his brother was often speechless.

"This kind of lipstick is not difficult at all, and the color mixing is also very simple, as long as you master a few original colors, if you want to learn we can work together."

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

"I'm going to do it too, I'm going to do it."

"And me!"

Shen Xingqi: "."

So how did a make-up activity between girlfriends deviate from what it is now?

Fortunately, Jiang Yuyao is also in the ranks of [Curious, Wants to Learn and Wants to Do], which shows that even a famous lady with poetry and books in her belly can't resist the magical temptation from her daughter's fat powder.

***

After experiencing a make-up incident that "thought it was very low-key but was actually high-profile to the extreme", Xingqi's children no longer dared to underestimate any modern invention.

In fact, she has never underestimated modern products.

It's just that the reaction of Dayan's local ladies to the glass mirror and 24 lipsticks was much more than she expected, and at the same time, she realized that with her mastery of modern knowledge, her perception of certain things has changed unconsciously.

Imperceptibly, moisturizing things silently.

Shen Xingluo was surprised for a moment when he found out that his sister loved to study more than before.

"She's already in junior high school."

Shen Hanlin glanced at the content of the tablet and accurately guessed which stage the video belonged to, "I didn't expect her to be interested in chemistry." ”

“.” No, she's just interested in some of the principles of handmade.

Cheng Xi silently swallowed this sentence, "You came back a little late today, are you very busy in the Hanlin Academy?" ”

"Not busy."

Shen Xingqi rarely didn't reply to her immediately, leaning back in her chair and being silent for a moment, as if she was organizing her language.

"The queen mother's birthday is imminent, and the vassal kings from all over the country are going to enter Beijing to celebrate her birthday, and the court and the capital will not be peaceful these days."

"Someone is going to make trouble?"

"Perhaps."

Shen Xingluo paused, "The probability is very high. ”

"Good guy, usually the princes are busy with party disputes, and on big days, the uncles are busy rebelling, are the royal family members so busy? Just give them an odd and even number. ”

Cheng Xi really wanted to interview the current saint and ask him, "May I ask all the relatives with the same surname staring at the seat under your ass, how do you feel as a person."

Shen Xingluo was also speechless about the current situation.

At this time in the previous life, the entire Dayan had not recovered due to the severe snow disaster, and there was no such stubble at all. I didn't expect to sprinkle food to help the people, and let the butterfly wings stir up so much.

The vassal kings of various places entered Beijing on the pretext that the queen mother's birthday was imminent, and he did not expect to take the opportunity to disturb the already turbid water.

Perhaps, there is also the influence of the emergence of high-yielding potatoes.

Or is it the main reason?

Shen Xingluo quickly analyzed the variables of his past and present lives, trying to get valuable news and grasp the opportunity after peeling back the cocoon.

Of course, he doesn't mean to do things, but habitually plan ahead.

And the result of such a toss is that Fuguang is busier.

It's not uncommon to see a human figure from time to time.
