Several princesses were light and could soon glide independently, and the maids and servants on the side followed closely, and the ninth princess was a little impatient, "Don't keep following so close." I can't even paddle up. Everyone looked embarrassed, but they still took two steps back, and the ninth princess was not satisfied, "Retreat, retreat, stay away." Sister Qingqing just said, skating, not afraid of falling, if you fall a few times, you will slip. ”

The chamberlain, who grew up watching her since childhood, couldn't listen to it anymore, and persuaded him, "Ninth Princess, you have golden branches and jade leaves, but you must pay attention, we can play any way, we will pick you up in the back, you just slide by yourself, even if you fall, and I will be under you." ”

When Xia Qingqing heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that modern parents are the same, what kind of bumps and bumps do the children in the family, the children haven't cried first, and the parents can't stand it first.

For a moment, he was quite understanding, and played a round field, "Princess, let's take our time, the days are still long, let's replace the ice blade first, and come to experience the ice car." ”

The second princess also said, "After rowing for a long time, I am indeed a little tired, there are other things below, we still have to save our strength." ”

The group came down from the ice, and the attendants immediately rushed forward to support them, changing their shoes, serving tea, wiping their sweat, and each of them surrounded by seven or eight servants.

Xia Qingqing shouted that he had seen a lot, so many people were around, and everyone could have something to do, this ancient class concept was really deep-rooted!

Several people sat around and rested for a while, the three princesses couldn't wait to get on the ice again, and Duchess Qingguo and Mrs. Xing drank tea and chatted with the four sisters-in-law in the courtyard.

"The little lord of your family, it seems that this ice activity has won the favor of several princesses."

"Where's the favor? It's nothing more than having fun, and if you want to come to this thing, you can play something new. The fourth sister-in-law said modestly, with uncontrollable joy between her eyebrows.

"Grandfather said, we still have to put the safety of several nobles first, and don't let Qingqing play too much, otherwise, how many more ways can she conjure up?"

"Okay, well, that old body must see it next time." Mrs. Xing said.

The group had a hearty play, and even dinner was used in their house. The ninth princess was young and playful, and refused to leave, seeing that it was already dark, the internal affairs officer paced anxiously, and said cautiously, "Eldest princess, you see that it is getting late, we should go back to the palace." ”

"Definitely. It's been a day of bothering, and it really shouldn't be delayed any longer. ”

When the ninth princess heard the rumors and refused to leave, Xia Qingqing took the opportunity to say, "I also prepared gifts for a few people." ”

"What's so embarrassing about that? Come to your house and eat and take. ”

"It's just a little bit of heart." Xiaoqing took Xiaolan, Xiaolu and a few maids to walk up to several nobles with great eyes, and presented wooden boxes of different sizes.

"Open it for me." The Ninth Princess didn't want to wait any longer.

Several boxes were opened at the same time, and everyone's eyes widened, you look at me, I look at you.

"This is the necklace I prepared for you called the clavicle chain, which is different from ordinary necklaces, this clavicle chain only reaches the collarbone, hence the name."

"The pendant can also be changed at will, the pendant of the eldest princess is a round and superb East pearl, the pendant of the second princess is a moon carved from blue tourmaline, and the ninth princess is a bead made of agate."

"The Duchess of Qingguo is a lotus carved by jade, Mrs. Lin is a Buddha carved by jade, and Mrs. Xing is a gourd pendant made of jade."

"It's unheard of." Duchess Qingguo exclaimed.

"This, I can't take this, it's too precious." Princess Celestia hesitated and retreated.

"This is a little bit of the heart of my family, a few nobles will accept it!" Lin Yuan'er said with a smile.

"I was also taken aback when I first heard Qingqing talk about this clavicle chain, this thing I haven't seen before, I have some lingering palpitations, but when I think about it, it's nothing more than a special necklace, nothing special."

Seeing this, Xia Qingqing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's nothing more than a necklace, and then I'll make some unique and better-looking bracelets for everyone." ”

The hesitation on the faces of several people was finally pressed down by the beautiful clavicle chain.

The nobles of the family often give gifts, and they also have dealings, and a few people want to find a special return gift next time, that is.

The ninth princess took the clavicle chain made of red agate and didn't let go, and at this moment, she let the entourage put it on directly and asked, "Look at me, look at me, do you look good?" The scruples of the words between the adults did not affect her at all.

"It's good-looking, our little nine is the best-looking, and it looks good when you wear anything." The eldest princess took her by the hand and said to Xia Qingqing with a smile, "After a while, you must be present at the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in the palace, you rarely participate in these banquets, and there are many people who want to come to this capital who are very curious about you, and I will introduce you one by one when the time comes." ”

"Then thank you, princess." Xia Qingqing smiled.

The cars of several princesses had already left the mansion, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Lin had also left one after another, leaving only the Duchess of Qingguo still sitting in the hall.

"Thank you so much today." The fourth sister-in-law, Lin Yuan'er, said.

"What are you being polite to me, kid? Didn't you say in your letter that day? Let me accompany me the whole way, but I didn't expect you to suddenly take out this clavicle chain and give me such a valuable one. ”

Lin Yuan'er continued, "This is not valuable, the new tricks made by Qingqing, the manuscript was all drawn by her alone, and handed over to the craftsman to hammer out. She, she usually likes to tinker with these clothes and jewelry, no, she wants to set up a store in the capital to sell these. ”

Duchess Qingguo was a little surprised when she heard this, "You two little girls want to do business?" ”

"Of course, it's not just the two of us, but also the old prince, and my mother's brother Lin Qing are all supporting us behind the scenes, Qingqing, who is responsible for the sketch and handed it over to a special craftsman to make. Well, I'm just helping to maintain things on the surface. ”

"Speaking of which, thank you to the Duchess today, at the beginning, those princesses still had some scruples, playing and playing, and really played together."

"It's just that Qingqing didn't explain to me in advance, and finally suddenly made such a move to give a necklace with one hand, and I can see that the eldest princess is somewhat hesitant." Lin Yuan'er seemed to complain, but the corners of her mouth were actually proud.

Duchess Qingguo waved her hand and said, "What is this?" Just give each other some gifts. She's afraid you'll suddenly ask her for something. ”

"Having said that, your mansion has always been respectful of these royal family members, and if you invite the princesses with such fanfare, doesn't the old prince have any opinion on this?"

"No opinion, what can grandfather say?" Xia Qingqing sent away a few princesses and just turned back.

"It's that I like this yellow and white thing, in addition to the idea and chose the place, that is, the wide and narrow alley, and then there will be such a white jade hall, specially to sell jewelry, nothing more than to make some money, grandfather, think I'm a little trouble, can't get on the table. Thank you for taking a bridge and inviting a few princesses over, and when they bring the jewelry I made to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I think that coming to Beijing will soon set off a new trend, so that my white jade hall can also be regarded as famous. ”

"You little man, just what you think, can't the eldest princess think of it? Wait until your white jade hall opens. Is she annoyed with you? ”

Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue. Immediately, he squatted on the Duchess's lap, his head resting on her knees, "So, I still want the Duchess to help me, I have some necklaces here, you can help me give them to your friends who are close to you, just say that I am filial to you, so that everyone is wearing them, and the princess will not be so angry." ”

"Okay, you little girl, even the old body is counted."

"Where do you dare to calculate you? It's obviously relying on you to pamper her. ”

The fourth sister-in-law, Lin Wan'er, was simply unsightly, "When she was lingering on the sickbed, you often sent medicine to the hospital, our grandmother left early, and you are not all in the house, what is the wind and grass here, you will come, and your own grandchildren are not so diligent." ”

"You two little girls, that's the blood left by my sisters. If she leaves early, I'll have to take care of her. Anyway, just your little bit of caution, I kind of understand, since tomorrow, I have started to visit the left and the right. Before you open your business, help you spread the word. ”

"It's been raining for a few days." Xia Qingqing sat boredly in front of the window.

It had been raining all these days, and her grandfather had not allowed her to go out, but the letter had already been delivered to the master.

The master also promised to mention a painting for her, and he could send it when he wanted to.

"Miss, this is what it looks like in late autumn, the weather is slowly getting colder, I'll go find you some thick clothes, and smoke incense on the stove first! In this way, the clothes will be fragrant and not damp. ”

"Okay, okay, you go first!" The windows are ajar so that you can see the garden without being swept in by the rain.

In the courtyard in front of the gate is a hundred-year-old peach tree, transplanted by her grandfather from the woods at the foot of Foguang Temple Mountain when she was born. There are a few anchovies next to it.

Alas, it would be nice to have perfume, but at this time, where are the chemicals? Most of them also use the stove to set up shelves next to them, put their clothes on the table, and then use flowers to get closer. Using the heat of the stove, the flowers are slowly steamed and dried so that the clothes can be dyed with fragrance. This method is a bit clumsy, but it can also carry the smell of flowers, and the families in the capital like to use or wear sachets directly, which are filled with dried flowers and leaves.

Solid perfume! Solid, how can you make a perfume solid? Xia Qingqing was thinking.

Pregnant! Lipstick is solid, it is made of beeswax and animal fat, on the basis of its original addition to the juice of mashed flowers, and after its solidification is made into a balm, you can apply it to the neck or wrists.
