That night, Rong Suihe simply floated away.
Half of it was that tonight's treatment far exceeded his imagination; and the other half was that he was simply scared: if one day Sheng Weiqiao knew the truth...
He shuddered and didn't dare to think about it any more.
"This hairpin has really made a great contribution!" After returning to Gaomi Palace, Rong Suihe's mood still could not calm down, so he stayed up all night to repair the rat-carved peach wood jade hairpin.
Originally, Sheng Weiqiao was dissatisfied and planned to take it to a craftsman to repair it, but Rong Shuihe didn't want the hairpin she made by herself to be handled by others, so he reminded her that although she had many hairpin rings, such a unique hairpin, There is no honest reason, I am afraid that the servants on the left and right will be suspicious.
Moreover, the hairpin is not very bad, it is just broken in the middle. This kind of small problem can be repaired by yourself.
It would be better for him to bring it back and repair it, then wait for the fifth festival order to be repeated and then publicly present it to her when they meet at Shanglin Garden... Anyway, even if the relationship between the two is not exposed at this moment, they are still brothers and sisters.
As an older brother, he misses his old friendship, so it’s okay to give his younger sister some hairpins.
What's more, Rong Suihe said that he would also go to Princess Gaomi to pick up some hairpin rings for Sheng Weirao, Sheng Weiwu, Gongsun Yingjiang, and the Nan mother and daughter of the Xu family, so that there would be no gossip.
At this moment, Rong Suihe opened the cabinet to get the tools for repair, and thought happily, "If my dear girl hadn't smashed it, how would I have the benefit of actively throwing myself into my arms and giving him a kiss?"
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Sheng Weiqiao's fall was so good and so wonderful!
Of course, the most fortunate thing is that the skill I accidentally learned is really great. It seems that I will have to make small things for Sheng Weiqiao more often in the future!
Moreover, the more delicate and fragile it is, the less likely it will break when touched, the better!
Prince Mi Zhen, who had mastered the skill of "touching porcelain" without any teacher, was happily thinking about how to repair the hosta until it was almost intact, next door to the courtyard where he lived, and then next door... Linghua In the library, a sweet smile appeared on the lips of Zhao Taoyi, who was sleeping soundly.
She dreamed that after she arrived at the Sheng Mansion, she successfully met Sheng Weiqiao. Sheng Weiqiao was as gentle, virtuous, and considerate as described in the decree that enthroned the county lord. After knowing her intention, not only did she know everything she said, but she also She also held her hand and encouraged herself to work harder. When they said goodbye, Sheng Weiqiao encouraged her earnestly: "I'm waiting for the day when I call you sister-in-law!"
In the dream, Zhao Taomei lowered her head in embarrassment and said in her heart: "Give me a papaya and give me Qiongyao in return... I will definitely treat you as my own sister!"
The next morning, she woke up in a particularly good mood and sat in front of the dressing table to freshen up. She heard the melodious chirping of birds outside. Huanluo, the personal maid, looked sideways and smiled: "It's a magpie!" On the apricot branches outside...it’s a good sign!”
Huanluo knew the purpose of his master's visit to the palace and the purpose of his recent outings. When he said this, Zhao Taomei's face was calm, but there was clear joy in her eyes, pretending to be calm. Said: "It must be because my aunt's health is about to get better, that's why the magpie started calling so early in the morning!"
"Miss, you didn't see clearly, those are two magpies chirping!" Huanluo had been serving her since he was a child, and he had a sense of dignity. Seeing that no one else was in the room at the moment, he said teasingly, "Look, Yinu, one of them is One magpie crows for the princess's beautiful body, and there is another one, probably for the young lady! Otherwise, in such a huge palace, why would they stay outside the house where the young lady lives instead of going anywhere else?"
"You're such a glib person, you're getting more and more unruly!" Zhao Taoyuan had such a dream last night that all her wishes came true, and now she was screaming like magpies again. She was in a really good mood, but for the sake of the girl's reserve, she still pretended to scold her. Maid, "If you keep talking nonsense, watch me screw you!"
The master and the servant finished cleaning up and laughing, and when they went out, they saw Zhao Taozhuang, who lived in the opposite room, coming out with her maid Huanying.
Both of their confidant maids have the character "Huan". This is because Mrs. Qin believes that there are not many girls in the Zhao family, and even cousins should interact more and be united with each other affectionately. Therefore, many of the things they eat, use, and wear, including the servants they serve and the houses they live in, are very similar.
"The rose purple you are wearing, isn't it too heavy for this season?" After the two sisters greeted each other, Zhao Taozhuang looked at Zhao Taomei's outfit and said, "I think you should change into the concubine you just made a few days ago. The red one is better."
Zhao Taomei explained: "Have you forgotten that my aunt was wearing concubine red yesterday? Although my aunt will definitely have to change her clothes today, I think that now because my third cousin has returned, my aunt has become younger and prefers It’s a delicate and breezy color. I’m not as elegant as my aunt, so I’d better not wear something similar to my aunt’s.”
He lowered his voice again, "And rose purple is more flattering to the white skin than imperial red... Second sister, don't you think so?"
Zhao Taozhuang looked at her again, then nodded and smiled: "Actually, my third sister is a great beauty. She looks good in any color she wears!"
"Isn't the second sister a beauty?" Zhao Taomei took the opportunity to persuade her tactfully, "That's why we should cherish ourselves more!"
"It's almost time, let's go have dinner with my aunt quickly, so as not to be late and keep my aunt waiting." Hearing this, Zhao Taozhuang drooped her long eyelashes, but smiled and changed the subject, "And the third cousin is acting Lei Lifengxing, don't let him finish it and leave when we go, then he won't be able to see you!"
Zhao Taoyi sighed secretly, did not say any more, and just nodded: "Let's go!"
The Linghua Pavilion where they lived was originally next to Xiangji Hall, so it was naturally very quick to walk there.
At this time, Princess Gaomi had already dressed up and was sitting in the flower hall waiting.
Originally, according to the usual rules, even if the prince and his wife were not waiting here, the prince's wife would still be there.
However, the Gaomi Palace is now managed by the eldest daughter-in-law. She also has six children who are not too old to take care of. She is really busy and has no skills. Therefore, the Gaomi Princess has long been exempted from the rule of the eldest daughter-in-law making arrangements every day. Let her come to serve during holidays and at the beginning and middle of every month.
At this moment, the princess was alone in the spacious room, which inevitably seemed deserted.
When he saw his two nieces coming over, he greeted them happily: "How did you sleep last night? Are you still used to it? If there is something you like or are not used to, you must tell me, but you don't want to see my aunt outside for fun."
Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoyi both laughed: "What are you not used to at Auntie's place? We slept well last night! If the maid hadn't shouted, we almost wouldn't have gotten up on time."
"Young people always like to sleep." Princess Gaomi said with a smile, "You can come over later next time. I couldn't sleep because I was not in good health, so I had to get up early. Even He'er had to wait a while. Just came here."
"We are actually used to getting up at this time." The Zhao sisters explained, "When we were at home, we would go to greet my grandmother at this time. But the bedding prepared by my aunt was too soft and comfortable, so she accidentally slept on it. I don’t want to get up anymore.”
Mrs. Qin has always been proud of the Zhao family's poetry and etiquette, so although she loves her children and grandchildren very much, she refuses to relax in the rules. In Mrs. Qin's opinion, no accidents can be avoided in things like morning and dusk. This is not because she particularly likes to see her descendants come over to kowtow to her every day at dawn, but because she feels that this kind of calmness can be done regardless of the weather. Provincial education can remind children and grandchildren of the difference between superior and inferior, and also help them develop awe and respect for their elders, which is beneficial to the maintenance of family tradition.
Princess Gaomi, who was also taught by Mrs. Qin, was naturally aware of this, and her eyes were in a trance for a moment: she thought that at the beginning, she also taught her own children according to the way Mrs. Qin taught her children. Originally, she I thought that my children could be as friendly and harmonious and support each other as I am with my brothers from my mother's side. Even if I die one day, I would know that they are not alone in this world. How could I have imagined...
Princess Gaomi secretly pinched her palms, forced herself to calm down, and changed the subject with a smile: "This red gold and jeweled squirrel hairpin Tao Mei is very interesting. It is very different from the styles of hairpin rings nowadays."
"I bought this when I went out for fun a few days ago." Zhao Taomei pursed her lips and smiled, subconsciously reached out and touched it before continuing, "I thought it was unique at the time."
Zhao Taozhuang took the opportunity to say: "Auntie, we want to go out and buy some things later, is that okay?"
Princess Gaomi didn't know the purpose of the Zhao sisters going out. She raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but she doubted: "It's not like the two sisters were arguing fiercely over He'er and were afraid that I would find out about the commotion in the palace, so they planned to go out with an excuse. Let’s go shopping and go out to have a showdown, right?”
She said: "Although it's not the dog days of summer yet, it's really hot. Look, the sun has tanned your face! What do you want to buy? Make a list for the people below and ask them to run errands." Why bother working by yourself?"
"Auntie, we just need to wear curtains and hats, so we won't be exposed to the sun." Zhao Taomei was afraid that she would not agree, so she quickly said, "Besides, the things we want to buy are trivial and not easy to explain clearly. If we don't go there in person, just I’m afraid that the people below may not be able to fully understand it, and it will only waste time!”
She was on edge, fearing that Princess Gaomi would ask what exactly she wanted to buy.
Fortunately, although Princess Gaomi was worried that her two nieces would turn against each other outside the house because they were sisters in front of her, she thought for a while and thought that it would be better to block such things. After all, it was taught by her own mother, Mrs. Qin, even if If you are confused for a moment, you won’t become obsessed with it, right
Because she had been separated from Rong Suihe over the past fifteen years, and she had been grudged after her quarrel with Mrs. Qin, she had basically cut off all contact with her mother's family. She was not very familiar with the two nieces, and she didn't know them. Why did I ask for help, but I felt that I was not qualified to find out their thoughts and mediate with them.
So after pondering for a while, he said: "That's OK! But you must ensure that you go out well and come back well!"
Because the princess had said "suntan carefully" before, the Zhao sisters thought she was telling them not to take off their hats casually to avoid getting tanned. In fact, they would have done this even without the princess's instructions. After all, there is no girl who doesn't want this. Are you fair and tender
Especially Zhao Taoyi is still working hard to capture Rong Suihe!
Hearing this, everyone smiled and promised: "Don't worry, aunt, when you come back, I guarantee you will still be able to recognize us at a glance!"
But she didn’t know that what Princess Gaomi meant by saying this was to tell the sisters to restrain themselves when they started to fight, so that they could not cover up the troubles. It was not a big deal for outsiders to laugh at her. Princess Gaomi didn’t want her sisters to have a grudge from now on. See it.
After the matter was settled, the three aunts and nephews talked about some common gossip. The Zhao sisters were muttering to themselves that it was too late for Rong Suihe to start this matter. They didn't know whether it was the habit developed in the Sheng family or their own. My aunt dotes on her son who has been away for fifteen years so much that he actually sleeps so late? !
Suddenly, Princess Gaomi asked with surprise: "What's wrong with He'er today? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Go and have a look in person. Is he feeling unwell?"
