"Second miss, this is the makeup that the eldest miss gave you."
Mu Mingtang opened it and saw that it was a box of jewelry. It's just made of gold, and most of it was sent to her because Miss Jiang disliked the vulgarity of gold and white things.
Mu Mingtang slammed down the lid immediately, holding it in his hand and not intending to let go: "Miss you are polite. Although she is older than me, I am her sister-in-law after all, and I am more senior than her. They are all from the same family. Man, what are you doing so politely?"
However, Mu Mingtang's hand was clutching the wooden box tightly, quite like when he was visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year, when he faced the New Year's money red envelopes that the other party put in.
Obviously the maid was speechless. In fact, not long ago, this maid served behind Mu Mingtang.
Mu Mingtang completely packed into Jiang Mingwei's house, and the people who served around him were all Jiang Mingwei's old servants. It is conceivable that these maids pointed at Mu Mingtang and were more critical than Mrs. Jiang. Now that Jiang Mingwei is back, these maids may be able to return to their true masters as they wish.
Mu Mingtang is now face-to-face with the maid, and she is really tired of seeing each other. The maid disliked Mu Mingtang for not appearing on the stage, and such a tacky big golden hairpin was liked by Mu Mingtang, who had never seen the world.
Mu Mingtang also felt that Jiang Mingwei had a problem with his eyes. Those noble jades and stones could only be used in the prosperous times. What kind of accident could the jade be sold
Still gold looks good, look at how beautiful this golden color is.
The maid rolled her eyes secretly, and said with a stern face: "Second miss, you are very polite. Now the wife is buying a dowry for the young lady, and the young lady is going to marry the princess of Jin, so she can't show her timidity. These hairpins do not match the status of the palace of Jin. , Miss doesn't need it, so I thought that Second Miss should be useful here."
"Yes, I can use it all." Mu Mingtang had already put away the box and said, "I have nothing to give back to the eldest lady, so I wish the eldest lady and King Jin a good relationship for a hundred years. We'll never be apart for the rest of our lives. Well, you can go."
The maid is angry, this woman has fallen to this point, as long as she has some backbone, she will not accept the help of the Jiang family. Unexpectedly, Mu Mingtang put it away without saying a word. The maid was so angry with this vulgar woman that she threw her sleeves and left.
Now that Mu Mingtang has completely torn her face with the Jiang family, she no longer cares about her image and temperament. She doesn't have such a thing at all. Although she scolded Jiang Honghao by pointing her nose during the day, Jiang Mingwei gave her money, why not
Mu Mingtang doesn't need backbone, she only needs money.
After the maid left, Mu Mingtang stood up with a squeak and changed the place to hide the box of gold jewelry. Now that she is placed in a guest room, in the eyes of Jiang's family, she is completely out of favor and has fallen into the frontier, but for Mu Mingtang, life now is much more enjoyable than the previous year.
The year before, she was like a puppet, not allowed to walk in large strides, not allowed to laugh loudly, even to eat in small bites, chewing in her mouth seven times before swallowing. And she did whatever she wanted, and the maid behind her pointed at her, saying that she had the dignity of a notorious lady.
Mu Mingtang is really fed up with these bird suffocation. Now she lives in a quiet guest room, there is no maid next to her, no Jie ruler watching her while she walks, and no one cares about her except for three meals a day. It's so good, the days of Jiang Mingwei's famous ladies, whoever loves them will pass.
Mu Mingtang got a box of gold jewelry for nothing, and he was so refreshed, even the anger he received at Jiang's house today disappeared. If someone used gold to insult her every day, then it was totally unnecessary to trample on her dignity as much as possible.
Mu Mingtang thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized something. Today Jiang Mingwei reminded her that tomorrow she has to remind the Jiang family to prepare a dowry for her.
Jiang Honghao bought her for a good price.
On the second day, Mrs. Jiang sent Jiang Honghao to court, and then happily called the tailor who had agreed yesterday to come in and choose the material for Jiang Mingwei.
Jiang Mingwei doesn't like bright colors, but she must wear bright red when they get married, and she is going to be a princess. There are many occasions where she needs to use red clothes to dominate the scene. Today, Mrs. Jiang has agreed with the garment workshop to choose the proper clothes for Jiang Mingwei to bow down to her parents-in-law, meet her sister-in-law, greet her, and worship at the wedding ceremony.
Several daughters-in-law with taut hair gathered around Mrs. Jiang, showing all kinds of fabrics to Mrs. Jiang like flowers in their mouths. One of the female shopkeepers shook off the fabric and showed Mrs. Jiang the luster from all angles: "Madam, look, this fabric is the most luxurious. Not only is the color correct, but also dark lines are woven. You see, it looks like a blessing from this angle. It has become a minus-word pattern again."
After the female shopkeeper showed it, Mrs. Jiang really cried out in surprise. Not to be outdone, the other person hurriedly tugged at his own fabric: "The dark pattern is indeed low-key and luxurious, but it's far away, so it's hard to see. Mrs. Jiang, you might as well take a look at our fabric. There are three layers in this fabric. Weaving, walking under the sun during the day, the light on the fabric seems to flow, and at night, it is a different color!"
"There is such a skill!" Mrs. Jiang sighed sincerely. She held the two horses in her hand and compared them left and right, but she couldn't make up her mind. "The dark pattern is auspicious, and the streamer looks good. How can I choose this?"
"My wife can't make up her mind, just buy it together."
Mrs. Jiang was startled and raised her head. The maid tried to stand in front of Mu Mingtang, and when she saw Mrs. Jiang raised her head, she bowed helplessly: "Madam, this servant can't stop the second lady."
The maid also felt very wronged. She clearly said that her wife was not available, but Mu Mingtang seemed to not understand the scene and didn't care to go in. When a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't make sense. A few maids were used to walking in high-profile households. I had never seen such a rough person. They chased and talked all the way, but Mu Mingtang broke into the innermost.
Looking at the expressions of the maids, Mrs. Jiang could probably guess what happened. She waved her hand and said, "It's none of your business, let's go."
The maid saluted again and filed back. Mu Mingtang didn't seem to be able to see the wink at all, so he stepped forward familiarly, and reached out to touch the fabric: "It really is a good material, it feels like running water. I think both are good-looking, why should my mother choose? Same, buy them all."
Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed, and the female shopkeepers next to each other looked at each other, smiled and saluted: "Second miss."
These women specialize in the business of the family members of officials and eunuchs, and their interpersonal relationships with these high-profile families are naturally clear.
"Ladies don't need to be too polite, get up." Mu Mingtang didn't feel restrained at all, and after calling everyone up, he said with a smile, "My eldest sister and I are getting married recently, and the wedding is in a hurry. Running errands for us."
us? Mrs. Jiang frowned subtly, but in front of outsiders, she had to cough vaguely and reminded: "Mingtang, I'm looking at your sister's dowry today, and you're not in a hurry."
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Mu Mingtang rubbed his fingers reluctantly on the fabric a few times before letting go and said, "I was assigned the marriage to King Qiyang. King Qiyang and King Jin are both royal family members, or cousins, I thought My sister's dowry is equal."
equivalence? What is she saying! Now Mrs. Jiang is also anxious, she said euphemistically: "The elders are orderly. After all, Mingwei is the eldest young lady. You and her dowry are the same, I am afraid it is not possible."
"Impossible?" Mu Mingtang smiled and said, "King Qiyang is the direct son of the late emperor, even the emperor said that King Qiyang is no different from his parents and children, and his wife married a daughter from the same family, so they treated the two princes differently. ?"
Mrs. Jiang's face was not very good-looking. She pursed her lips and glanced at the female shopkeepers. The shopkeepers understood and immediately bowed to resign: "Mrs. Jiang and Second Miss have something to say. I can't be bothered, so I'll leave today."
"All ladies, walk slowly." Mu Mingtang greeted the guests with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he waved to a few people naturally, "It's not easy for ladies to work hard, these fabrics don't need to be moved out, they all stay. Well, I like them very much. How much is the total amount, you can put it on the account for the time being, and Mrs. Jiang will settle the bill later. "
Several female shopkeepers quietly went to see Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang's face could hardly hold back: "Jiang Mingtang, you are enough."
"My surname is Mu, ma'am." Mu Mingtang raised his arm, flicked the non-existent ash on his sleeves, raised one eyebrow arrogantly, and said, "As the princess of Qiyang, I even have this power. None?"
Mrs. Jiang was speechless. She glanced in the direction of the female shopkeepers and gritted her teeth: "Let's put it down first, then I'll send someone to check out at your store."
Several female shopkeepers immediately burst into laughter and praised Mrs. Jiang for her generosity, and the second lady was blessed. Then he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
After the people left, Mrs. Jiang didn't need to hide her face, and her face suddenly sank: "What on earth are you trying to do? You'd better remember your identity, do you really think that being the Princess of Qiyang, you will be able to run wild on the Jiang family's head? ?"
"Yes." Mu Mingtang smiled and said, "It was Lord Jiang who recommended me to be Princess Qiyang, wasn't it? When it was time to prepare a dowry for me, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang lost their memory, just like they lost their memory. I'm going to marry the King of Qiyang."
"You!" Mrs. Jiang pointed at Mu Mingtang and cursed angrily. Mu Mingtang was very disgusted with Mrs. Jiang's gesture, she opened it with a snap, raised her eyebrows and said, "Who do you look down on, is this your attitude towards the princess? The emperor has said that he wants to hold the wedding of King Qiyang, and everything The ritual system is even higher than that of the King of Jin. If you neglect my dowry, you are demolishing the emperor's platform. I said, what Jiang Mingwei has, I want what. If I find something missing, I will cut my hair to be my sister-in-law. When the royal palace of Qiyang comes to welcome the bride, no one will get on the sedan chair, so you should push your precious daughter to make up for it!"
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he snorted and swaggered away. At this time, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she couldn't speak. She couldn't help covering her heart. Seeing this, the maids on both sides hurriedly surrounded her: "Madam!"
Unexpectedly, the maids just finished shouting, and Mu Mingtang actually came back. Mu Mingtang approached under everyone's astonished eyes, bent down and picked up a piece of fabric. It was only when she got started with the fabric that she realized that it was heavier than she thought. Mu Mingtang didn't have the strength to hold a few more horses. She swept her eyes twice, pointed to the most sturdy looking maids, and said, "You, you, and you. , hold the rest of the fabric, and come with me."
Mu Mingtang took two steps and found that there was no movement behind him, so he couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at everyone with slanted eyes: "I am the princess of Qiyang bestowed by the royal family, can you resist the decree?"
"Slaves don't dare." The maids quickly glanced at Mrs. Jiang, lowered their heads and walked to Mu Mingtang with the cloth. Mu Mingtang felt so good when she found the fox fake tiger majesty, she snorted triumphantly, and walked out with great difficulty and tenacity: "I like this red and bright color the most, it's festive when I look at it. Be careful with me, if it falls off It's dirty, I'll ask you guys!"
After Mu Mingtang and the pile of red fabrics walked away, the maid came around and supported Mrs. Jiang worriedly: "Madam, look..."
"The villain is successful, I see how long she can be mad!" After Mrs. Jiang shouted in anger, she fell down while covering her heart, and the maids quickly supported her: "Madam, calm down, don't let your body get angry. ."
