Chapter 304: Ugliness is compared
"That's not new!"
Suddenly, an elderly lady said, "I went to Mrs. Shen's a few days ago, and the melon I ate was really fresh!"
"It's like freshly plucked! And it's so sweet! It's even crispier and sweeter than the melons we eat in summer! That's a lot of juice! ”
Both men and women, as long as they get together, there are indispensable people who like to show, brag and gossip.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him.
The lady who spoke was a little proud, and cleared her throat, "How face-saving it is to be able to bring out such delicious and sweet melons to entertain guests in winter!"
So I asked Mrs. Shen, where did you buy the melon? Even if it's expensive, let's spend a little more silver, right? ”
When everyone heard this, they were all interested and nodded again and again!
During the New Year's Festival, there are many guests to be entertained, and it is also indispensable to visit relatives and friends.
If you can come up with such a rare gift, it is more expensive than giving something else!
Old Madam Shen said, I didn't buy it! It was given to her by Princess Huai!
Mrs. Shen also said that eating this melon is also good for the body! She had eaten too much meat in the past few days, and her stomach was unhappy.
"Ate the melon and it was fine that night. She couldn't eat at first, so she ate a big bowl of porridge! ”
Everyone was amazed, "Really? ”
"Really," the other lady cleared her throat, "I'm thick-skinned and asked for a melon from Old Madam Shen." ”
Everyone inhaled secretly, becoming more and more envious.
When this lady said this, she did not mean that she was thick-skinned...... She is hinting to everyone here that she has a good relationship with Old Madam Shen! Indirectly, she can get the rarities of the Huai Wang's Mansion!
After all, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you have to be willing to give it to Mrs. Shen!
"Sister Wang knows, my mother-in-law is not very good-tempered, and she wants to get angry at every turn.
"Since I gave the fragrant melon to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law has eaten it, she has been kind to me for several days, and she is reluctant to say a word of weight.
"But I was so envious of my concubines that they asked me how I made the old lady happy?
"I'm clumsy, where am I going to coax people?"
The crowd laughed amusefully.
But under the smile, no one knows how much envy and how many plans there are.
Previously, everyone showed Princess Huai as a "New Year's gift" or a gift in return for their clothes, which also meant this.
At this point, they have shifted from their amazing clothes to eating.
The crown princess in the compartment listened to it, and her face was already two degrees darker than the naked eye.
What a Wen Jin!
This is deliberately against her!
The door of the compartment opened, and there was a "bang", and the bead curtain sounded.
Everyone followed the prestige, and the crown princess took a deep breath and put on a decent smile.
"It is also my honor to have ladies and ladies here today. It's almost the New Year, and the monarchs and the people are happy. We sisters and concubines should also get together and have fun......"
The crown princess said politely.
But gradually, she realized that something was wrong......
At today's banquet, she was dressed up extraordinarily grandly.
Not to mention the glamorous crowd, but also to show her hostess's aura and status!
But what do you say about the current situation......
The dress of all the people cannot be said not to be solemn. Gorgeous clothes, decent cuts, golden hairpins, beads, rings...... This is the atmosphere of the New Year, and it is also a very decent dress to go to the noble host's house......
But no matter how old they are, the styles of their clothes are extraordinarily novel, and the festivity adds a touch of youth, playfulness, and vitality.
The playfulness of young girls makes them more delicate and vivid, and a little greenness or charm is also set off as quirky cuteness.
And the ladies who are a little more sedate in age, because of this hint of playfulness, actually add an approachable girlish feeling, even the ladies who already have children under their knees, are as delicate and beautiful as young women who have just married.
The older wife, who has become a grandmother's child, is playful and loving...... It's the New Year, and the person who is a grandmother shows a pleasing and loving color, who doesn't like it?
……
The crown princess, who was dressed in grand clothes, suddenly felt that she was out of place with the atmosphere in this room.
She looked down at her crimson crown princess costume...... There is modesty.
In contrast, it also shows that she is old-fashioned, dull, and dull!
The crown princess's throat choked...... The beautiful words that were prepared were instantly forgotten by her.
What did they just say...... This dress was given to them by Wen Jin as a return gift for the current year?
Wen Jin is really Chengxin - Chengxin is against her!
The crown princess held the handkerchief, and her nails were pinched into the soft flesh of her palms through the handkerchief.
At this moment, Wen Jin laughed and stepped into the warm pavilion.
Wen Jin is still holding hands with others...... She didn't have any close friends before! Now they're all coming to her?
The crown princess only had Wen Jin in her eyes who annoyed her and aroused her anger.
Wen Jin let go of the hands of others, smiled and greeted politely, "I have met the crown princess, and the New Year is healthy!" I've seen all the elders! Everyone, well-being! ”
Those who were lower than her also saluted her......
After some politeness, the crown princess took a seat on the main seat.
Her eyes fell on Wen Jin, and the pickiness and provocation in her eyes could barely be concealed, "Is Princess Huai dissatisfied with me?" It's all a concubine, if there is any misunderstanding, you can say it to your face. It's good not to hold a grudge behind your back. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Wen Jin in amazement.
Wen Jin turned out to be hostile to the crown princess?
"Why did the crown princess say that? As you all know, today is the only banquet I have participated in since I entered the lunar month. Wen Jin looked dazed.
Everyone nodded...... I heard this, but Wen Jin didn't respond to their posts.
The crown princess smiled coldly and said in a half-joking tone, "But how did I hear that you have all received your New Year's gifts, and the clothes and accessories for today's banquet are all carefully selected and prepared by you." You are so favoritous, don't you have an opinion about me? ”
What did the crowd think was strange at first......
Only then did I react, all the people sitting in this room were noble people, and most of the clothes were given by Wen Jinnian when he returned the gift.
Compared to the eye-catching costumes...... The crown princess was dressed too modestly and looked old-fashioned.
The faces of the crowd were happy for a while, and worried for a while.
Princess Huai and the crown princess competed...... It's not appropriate to pull them as targets, right?
They don't want to offend Princess Huai, but they don't want to offend the Crown Princess either!
If Princess Huai really gave them away, not the crown princess...... Women with small hearts are better than this, right? The crown princess still has to be jealous of them?
"It turns out that the crown princess misunderstood me."
Wen Jin said unhurriedly, "I specially sent two housekeepers from the inner and outer courtyards of the palace to the East Palace and sent the crown princess the best Shu brocade and two sets of clothes.
"I never wanted to be directly rejected by the guards at the gate of the East Palace. The two housekeepers have also seen the world, so they can talk about it and ask someone to report it.
They waited for a while, and the eunuch of the inner palace came, counted them down, and said, it is not the Winter Clothes Festival, and there is no reason to send clothes.
"It is also said that Huaiwangfu does not understand the rules, and two horses of Shu brocade can be regarded as a New Year's gift? I scolded the two housekeepers back! ”
After Wen Jin finished speaking, he took a sip of fragrant tea, and there was a dead silence in the warm pavilion.
