"You don't have anything to say, what do you want to ask?" King Chen took a deep breath. This is his future daughter-in-law. Unlike others, be patient.
"What?" Hearing the copper bell under the eaves, Jiuzhu smiled: "It's cold in the late autumn, please take care of your body, Your Highness, and eat on time."
"Okay." King Chen raised his hand and called the shopkeeper: "Pack these up and send them to the residence of Shilang Ming."
"Your Highness..."
King Chen put his hand behind Jiuzhu: "King Qi has given his fiancee a hairpin. If you don't accept this king, others will only say that this king is stingy."
"But it's too much." Jiuzhu whispered, "I really can't wear it."
"No problem." He stretched out his hand and flicked the golden butterfly hairpin, but King Chen didn't care: "King Chen's mansion, it's not bad for money."
After speaking, he took the opportunity to poke Jiuzhu's cheek, and strode away with a smile.
Covering the place where she was poked, Jiuzhu turned her head to look at the spring equinox.
The Spring Equinox comforts: "Don't worry, miss, King Chen is really rich."
Jiuzhu lifted her cape carefully, raised her head and sighed.
"Miss, King Chen has always acted arbitrarily. If you don't like it, we will send the jewelry back to the palace of King Chen..."
"Where can I act arbitrarily?" Jiuzhu denied: "My lord, that is to be generous to others."
"Sister Spring Equinox." She grabbed Spring Equinox's arm and shook it gently: "Don't say that to His Royal Highness King Chen in the future, okay?"
Who can resist this cute little appearance
Spring Equinox nodded silently: "Miss is right, His Royal Highness King Chen treats people generously and is hearty. He is a rare talent."
Don't you just say two words against your heart
As long as you can make the lady happy, it's not difficult.
"Miss, I didn't expect an elegant person like His Royal Highness King Qi to choose these women's favorite hairpin accessories for you." The maid opened the jewelry box and praised: "The workmanship is exquisite and the materials are exquisite. Your Highness treats you very well. Take care."
Sun Caiyao smiled with blushing cheeks, and closed all the jewelry boxes: "I see that you are all joking with me."
"Miss is getting married soon, the servants are just telling the truth, where is the joke?" The servants laughed: "The servants haven't seen such beautiful jewelry, why did you close it?"
"Look at this slave maid, that pair of phoenix golden hairpins is just right."
Phoenix Gold Hairpin…
Sun Caiyao opened the jewelry box containing the phoenix golden hairpin, her smile froze slightly, and she closed the jewelry box abruptly, as if one more glance would make her uncomfortable.
The maids looked at her with a wrong expression, and their laughter decreased.
"You all go out." The trembling fingertips lightly touched the phoenix golden hairpin box, and her tone became more and more calm: "I want to be alone for a while."
"Phoenix..."
Open the jewelry box, look at the bronze mirror, and insert the phoenix gold hairpin in the hair.
Looking at the face in the mirror, she smiled: "Who doesn't want to be a phoenix soaring in the nine heavens?"
After finishing her makeup, she got up and walked outside the house: "come here, prepare a sedan chair, I want to go out for a walk."
Not too far out of the door, Sun Caiyao saw more than ten women dressed as servants in the jewelry shop holding jewelry boxes, lined up neatly and walking in the same direction.
"Are those people who describe Jinlou?" she asked casually.
"Yes, miss. It is said that King Chen bought dozens of pieces of jewelry with great wealth and had them all sent to the Ming family's mansion."
The maid whispered: "The Ming family is a knowledgeable family, I'm afraid they don't like King Chen's style."
Giving women a few pieces of jewelry is gentle and considerate. Sending dozens of items in one go, did you dislike other people's Ming family's shabby dress and lose his face
Scholars value integrity most, and the Ming family is not a poor family who has never seen good things. King Chen's move not only fails to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also makes the Ming family even more dissatisfied.
I feel sorry for Miss Ming's family. She has not grown up under her parents' knees since she was a child, and she doesn't know how much affection she has with her parents. King Chen acted like this again, and when she married King Chen in the future, she might be rejected by the Ming family.
Touching the golden phoenix hairpin by her temples, Sun Caiyao lowered the sedan curtain and closed her eyes gently.
Ming Jingzhou came back from the Ministry of Rites and saw that the main courtyard was full of jewelry boxes of various colors. He looked carefully at Mrs. Shen who was sitting on the chair: "Madam is you in a good mood today?"
If you are not in a good mood, how can you spend so much money on jewelry. But looking at her face, she didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"It's all good things from the description of the gold building." Shen shi waved to the maid: "Go and invite the lady over."
"It turned out to be bought for Jiuzhu." Ming Jingzhou suddenly realized, no wonder his wife was willing to buy so many jewelry from her daughter's house in Bajinlou.
"It's true that they were all bought for Jiuzhu." Shen's expression was weird: "But it's not me who paid."
"That's impossible." Ming Jingzhou casually opened a box closest to him, with a golden necklace of dragon and phoenix on his face, and the pendant on it was a fine suet jade: "Where can we find such a wealthy relative in our family."
"Who said no?" Shen shi raised his eyebrows: "Think about it carefully, maybe there is."
"This kind of good thing can happen just by thinking about it?" Ming Jingzhou had already determined that his wife was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly walked behind her and tapped her back diligently, "Good lady, tell me quickly."
"Tell you what to do, do you dare to go back?"
"Why don't you dare?" Ming Jingzhou raised his head and raised his chest: "Except for the things given by the palace, I still dare to refuse other people's things."
"Father, mother." Jiuzhu walked into the door and saw the jewelry boxes all over the room: "Is it delivered so soon?"
"Daughter, do you know who sent these?" Seeing his daughter's expression, Ming Jingzhou guessed that Jiuzhu should know who the gift was given.
"I know." Jiu Zhu smiled embarrassedly: "It's His Royal Highness King Chen."
"Who?!" Ming Jingzhou thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"His Royal Highness King Chen." Jiu Zhu blinked and looked at Ming Jingzhou, her eyes twinkling.
"Heh." Shen shi chuckled lightly: "Husband, do you want to return the things?"
Ming Jingzhou: "…"
This one is really unreliable.
"Why do you want to go back?" Jiu Zhu looked at her parents in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with these things?"
"No, no." Seeing his daughter's bright eyes dimmed, Ming Jingzhou quickly explained, "I'm just curious about who gave the gift for my father. We Zhuzhu like it and stay."
"Yeah!" Jiuzhu nodded heavily, walked to Shen's side, and hugged her arm tired beside her: "Originally, my daughter didn't want His Highness to send these things, but His Highness said that King Qi can send Miss Sun's jewelry, if not Let him send it, others will say he is stingy."
Ming Jingzhou looked at the jewelry boxes all over the house, but with so many gifts, there was too much money to spend.
What happened to Concubine Su's mother and son, Jiuzhu entered the palace and sent a bunch of gold and silver jewelry, Jiuzhu went shopping, and King Chen gave another bunch of gold and silver jewelry.
Is it because they suspect that they have a bright family and are reluctant to buy jewelry for their daughter
Ming Jingzhou looked at Shen shi puzzledly, Shen shi shook his head slightly, and asked people to move all the jewelry to the yard where Jiu Zhu lived.
As soon as the jewelry box in the main courtyard was packed, the family of three received an invitation from the Pingyuan Houfu.
"The old lady of the Marquis of Pingyuan is celebrating her birthday and invited us to the birthday banquet." Mrs. Shen handed the invitation to Ming Jingzhou: "The relationship between the Zheng family and our Ming family is normal, so I sent the invitation early this time, and the words were sincere and enthusiastic. Makes me a little uncomfortable."
Ming Jingzhou glanced at his well-behaved daughter and remained silent.
After a long time, he put the invitation aside: "The Ministry of Rites is busy, and in the past few days, I need to prepare for Su Guifei's birthday banquet.
"My husband's intention, I understand."
Jiuzhu looked at her father and then at her mother, her small head was full of doubts.
What did the father say, what did the mother understand
In the palace, Emperor Longfeng looked through the memorial in his hand, and summoned King Qi as if unintentionally: "Fourth, I suddenly remembered that today is your grandmother's birthday, have you come to visit?"
"Back to the father, the son is about to go."
"It's almost noon, even though you are a prince, you should not neglect the birthdays of your grandparents." Emperor Longfeng asked the palace servants to hold out the gift box: "Bring these gifts to the Marquis of Pingyuan for me."
"My son, on behalf of my grandmother, thanked my father for his grace." King Qi bowed and saluted.
"Between you and my father and son, this is not necessary." Emperor Longfeng raised his hand: "Go."
"Thank you, Father Huang." King Qi glanced at the emperor who had already paid attention to the memorial, and withdrew silently.
"Today, what officials are going to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Marquis of Pingyuan?" Emperor Longfeng put down his memorial and asked his confidant eunuch.
The confidant eunuch read a series of names.
"Did you go to Ming's house?"
"Your Majesty, there are two adults in the Ming family who are not in the capital. The minister of Ming stayed in the Ministry of Rites to prepare the birthday banquet for the noble concubine. Go out. Only the wife and daughter of Ming Shilang go to celebrate the birthday."
Emperor Longfeng smiled when he heard the words: "Ming Jingzhou likes to admit death in everything he does. It's not that he can't rest when he prepares the concubine's birthday banquet."
The confidant eunuch laughed along: "Look, the three adults of the Ming family are all like this."
"If I remember correctly, Ming Jingzhou's son is still working in other places?" Emperor Longfeng thought for a while: "The marriage of the Ming family girl and my son is imminent, so why can't the brother-in-law not be in Beijing. The people from the Ministry will call to see if there are any suitable vacancies in the capital and fill them up for my son's brother-in-law."
When referring to the three words "eldest brother-in-law", Emperor Longfeng's tone carried an undisguised intimacy.
When King Qi arrived at Pingyuan Hou's Mansion, the stage set up in Hou's Mansion was singing the immortal's birthday. As soon as he appeared, everyone did not want to listen to the play anymore, and came to greet him one after another.
The Zheng family welcomed King Qi to the seat, and King Qi repeatedly refused before he sat down, his eyes swept over the officials who came to flatter him, and he held up the teacup and smiled at them.
After swallowing the weak tea between his lips and teeth, he saw Sun Caiyao and Miss Ming who were sitting among the female guests.
"Your Highness." Zheng Wangnan whispered in his ear: "Miss Sun came over very early today and got along very well with her grandmother."
King Qi noticed that the golden butterfly hairpin in Ming Jiuzhu's hair was the one that King Chen insisted on inserting into her hair in Bajinlou that day.
"Miss Ming." Sun Caiyao who was drinking tea suddenly looked at Ming Jiuzhu, "Miss Ming grew up in Lingzhou, would you like to tell me about the customs of Lingzhou?"
Ming Jiuzhu looked at Sun Caiyao suspiciously, she was about to start dinner, let her talk about customs and customs on an empty stomach
Rubbing her hungry stomach, she blinked and shook her head.
Although she looks petite, she can eat very well, and she can't help being hungry.
Talking about local customs at this time can only affect the speed at which she stretches her chopsticks.
"Sister Sun is gentle and kind, won't you mind if I refuse?" Jiuzhu felt that even if she refused, she had to make sure that the other party would be angry.
She is kind by nature and most reluctant to make girls angry.
"No, how could it be." Sun Caiyao smiled: "My sister is cute and straightforward, how could I be mad at you."
"Sister is so nice." Jiuzhu peeled off an orange and handed it to her: "Sister, do you want to eat?"
"No, thank you." Sun Caiyao continued to smile.
The oranges are on fire, she! Do not! eat!
"Okay." Jiuzhu threw the orange into her mouth.
oh~
This orange is a bit sour, and the more I eat it, the more I get hungry.
