In the evening, when Yan Jinqiu came back from outside the mansion, he was served by servants, took off his robe, and sat down beside Hua Xiwan refreshed: "Today, the emperor rewarded two Zhuangzi, and I will let Mutong take care of him. Bring the land deed and let you arrange it."
"How did the emperor reward Zhuangzi for coming down?" Hua Xiwan saw that the heat on his face had not subsided, so she gently fanned him with the fan in her hand, "We have a lot of Zhuangzi, some are rented out to tenants, and some are more expensive. The fertile ones are kept for their own use.”
Yan Jinqiu asked the maids who were serving in the room to retreat, and then said: "Although the Fang Chengde incident has come to an end, many people in the clan have opinions on the emperor's will, and the emperor probably felt guilty, so he deliberately I rewarded two Zhuangzi."
"In this way, I only hurt my forehead, but I got two Zhuangzi, but I took a huge advantage." Hua Xiwan smiled. The emperor's move meant that they had nothing to say in the palace. It's just that people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Some things seem to be smoothed out on the surface, but in fact, they have already added a lump to other people's hearts.
The dignity of the royal family, in the eyes of the emperor, was so easy to dismiss, what did the rest of his Yan family think? When the prince ascends the throne in the future, will he really be able to sit firmly in that position
Yan Jinqiu didn't care when he saw Hua Xiwan's smile, he held her hand and didn't speak, but there was an irreversible coldness in his eyes.
"Are you hungry? I asked the people in the pantry to make some refreshing dishes. I'll use more of them later. You seem to have lost some weight recently," Hua Xiwan sighed, "No matter how busy things are outside, you have to take care of your health. ."
"Maybe it's because the weather is too hot that I don't have an appetite, but there aren't many things going on outside," Yan Jinqiu let go of Hua Xiwan's hand, "If you say that, I'm really hungry, let them serve dishes. ."
After the meal was served, the husband and wife sat together and ate together, and after they finished, they sat together to play chess. Hua Xiwan, as a young lady of Hou Mansion, although she is a lazy person, she has also learned all the things that noble ladies should know, and she can fight for a while with Yan Jinqiu, although in the end she is mostly the loser, and the winner is half ten. Eight or nine of them were also made by Yan Jinqiu.
"A few days ago, some people paid tribute to Linhai pearls. The quality is very good. I asked the craftsmen in the dowry shop to make some pearls wrapped in silk hairpins. Although they are not rare objects, they are worse than fresh. Go back to their daughters?" Hua Xiwan mentioned inadvertently after leaving a child, "I don't know if it's appropriate or not?"
"This is a good way. It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. It's good to let the guests bring some things back." Yan Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Hua Xiwan's intention. Sometimes the pillow wind of a woman in the backyard is more useful than anything else. Although the Xianjun Wangfu is not worried about the infidelity of these people, it is best not to forget the place where you should be gracious.
"If that's the case, let's add some more things and send them together, it'll look better," Hua Xiwan looked at the pieces on the chessboard. Yan Jinqiu's chess path seemed gentle, but she outflanked her unknowingly. The back road made her unable to advance or retreat. She dropped a child in the corner, which happened to block Yan Jinqiu's offensive, "Jinqiu is going to win this round again."
"Playing chess is a pleasure, why should you care about winning or losing," Yan Jinqiu smiled and dropped a piece at will, "It's getting late, let's take a bath and rest."
Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows and smiled, and put the pieces back in the chess box: "Okay." How could she not understand such an obvious hint
When Hua Xiwan woke up in the morning, Yan Jinqiu had already got up and left. She rubbed her slightly sore waist, yawned and let Hongying and the others wait to change her clothes.
Cheng Qiu didn't wait by her side for a long time. She was a taciturn personality, but she was very flexible and didn't like to steal the work of Bai Xia and other three maids, so she gradually became acquainted with Bai Xia and the others.
She has a very good hair-handling skill. She serves Hua Xiwan, and her hands are light and dexterous, so Hua Xiwan simply let her take care of her hair accessories.
"Master's hair is really smoother than the best silk and satin," Cheng Qiu couldn't help but admire when she used a suet white jade hairpin to fix Hua Xiwan's hair bun, "This servant touched your hair and then touched your own. , it's like touching withered grass."
"You finally know how much we hate seeing our hair these years," Zishan smiled and brought a box in, opened the lid and saw a pair of blood coral dangling earrings, which she waited for Hua Xiwan to wear. After a while, he said, "After a while, you will definitely dislike even your own skin."
"Look, I said that Cheng Qiu has learned how to speak sweetly. It turns out that the person who brought her bad is here," Hua Xiwan chose a set of suet white jade headwear because she was at home and was hot After that, I felt more refreshing than wearing gold jewelry.
"The slaves can't speak sweet words, because your hair is too smooth, master, and your skin is too tender and fair," Zishan sorted out the jade ornaments and sachets that Hua Xiwan pressed down on the corner of her skirt, "Could it be that the slaves can't Tell the truth?"
Cheng Qiu covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words, but remembered not to steal Zishan's limelight.
Hua Xiwan shook her head helplessly, reached out and tapped Zishan's forehead. Just as she was about to make fun of her, she saw Bai Xia walk in with a gilded invitation. The invitations that Bai Xia can send in person must not be ordinary people. She smiled, "Whose post?"
"It was sent from Princess Duanhe's mansion," Bai Xia greeted Hua Xi with blessings and presented the invitation with both hands.
Hua Xiwan took a look and said with a smile: "Since Duan and the princess have invited you to reward laurel, how can I not give face." After that, she let Bai Xia grind it, and she was going to return the invitation in person.
Although Bai Xia was surprised that the master would be invited this time, she didn't hesitate at all, turned around and followed Hua Xiwan to the wing, to grind it for Hua Xiwan.
Princess Duanhe, who has always been keen to hold various gatherings, was only aggrieved by the affairs of the prince and the Fang family. Now that the matter is over, with this master's temperament, she can't wait. It's going to be a banquet.
So, why didn't she, the victim, go for a walk? You know, everyone in the capital is wondering how she is hurt. She has always been kind-hearted.
As for how she chooses to solve her doubts and how others think, that is someone else's business.
"Your Highness, Princess Duanhe's invitation has already been received."
"Is she going?"
"Prince Princess has already replied to the post in person, indicating that she will be there on time that day."
A moment of silence.
"I see."
