Xingnong took the small quilt and looked at it carefully. The small quilt was embroidered with different blessing patterns using the finest bright red brocade and golden silk threads. Each word "Fu" had a different shape and workmanship because it was written and embroidered by different people. However, it looked very delicate and beautiful.
The most important thing is that this gift represents the kindness of all the people. She took it and said solemnly: "Auntie, please thank everyone for me. This gift is too precious. I will give this quilt to my children and keep it well."
The village head's wife smiled and said, "As long as the Crown Princess likes it! We still have the Baijia cloth that the people of Futai County gave to the Crown Princess as dowry. It would be good to take some of the Baijia cloth and make some quilts for the child. Covering with the Baijia quilt means receiving the Baijia blessing, and the child will be free from illness, pain and disaster, and live a safe and smooth life!"
Xing Nong listened to what the village head's wife said and smiled: "I thought so too. In Jin State, many people sent me scraps of cloth. I also plan to use the cloth to make a few quilts, mats and the like. It has a good meaning."
She had already thought of the pattern for the quilt cover, which was to take a small piece of cloth, fold it into the shape of petals, and then embroider it petal by petal into a three-dimensional peony or peony flower, symbolizing prosperity and wealth.
Fortunately, the scraps of cloth sent by the people were all bright red, and gold thread was used to embroider the core and sew the edges. The dark red quilt, with several three-dimensional peonies of different postures and golden cores, should look beautiful.
The village head's wife was very happy to hear this: "The people of Jin also sent you a hundred pieces of cloth? The Crown Princess is indeed loved by the people. And everyone will be happy to know that the Crown Princess used the cloth they gave her for her makeup!"
Xingnong is a good girl. Even though she is of extremely noble status now, she never looks down on people like them who are of low status.
Xing Nong smiled and said, "It's all because of those high-yield grains. It's just that the grains were bought by the prince, so I just benefited from him."
Shen Ruolan said happily: "You and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are husband and wife, no one is better than the other, and you will prosper together. The Crown Princess is both a princess of Jin and a crown princess of Chu, so you are very blessed! This is the dowry given to the Crown Princess by the Princess of Changle, Prince Yong'an."
She was really happy for Xingnong!
My daughter is a princess and my niece is a princess. I could never have imagined it in my dreams.
The wife of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice was also a little jealous when she saw the Wanfu quilt and the Baijia cloth.
The wife of the Vice Minister of Justice was also somewhat jealous of the Wanfu quilt and Baijia cloth, but she was not sure whether she had asked for them on her own initiative or whether they were given to her by those blessed ladies.
Although this princess grew up in the countryside, she has a good life!
Not only is she the Princess of Jin, but now she is also the Crown Princess of Chu. She is the future Queen, so she has to compliment her: "This Wanfu quilt is made of a hundred cloths, which is not something that everyone can get. The Crown Princess is really loved by the people."
After that, she said to the village head's wife, "This lady is thoughtful. She has asked for such a blessing for the Crown Princess. She is really thoughtful! This dowry gift is the first of its kind!"
The village head's wife glanced at her and smiled, "Madam, you are too kind. It's not just me who has the intention, it's everyone who has the intention. This blessing is not what I want. Originally, some women in our village wanted to make a quilt of a hundred blessings for the Crown Princess. Later, women from other villages came to ask us to send it to the Crown Princess. When they heard that the quilt we prepared for the Crown Princess included a small quilt of a hundred blessings, they all expressed their desire to join. Later, everyone in the whole county knew about it. There were too many, so after everyone discussed it, they came up with this quilt of ten thousand blessings made by tens of thousands of blessed women and virtuous and talented masters! This is a real blessing from all the people! It's different from an ordinary quilt of a hundred blessings!"
What is she coming for? Don't think she can't hear the hidden meaning behind her words.
Oh, because of the good meaning of the 100-blessing quilt, 1,000-blessing quilt, and 10,000-blessing quilt, many wives of officials would get one for their younger generation. Ordinary people would collect ten blessings, and wealthy families would only collect a hundred blessings for a good omen. But how can those who actively ask for them be the same as those who actively give them!
The wife of the Minister of Justice smiled and said, "That's right! The Crown Princess benefits the people, so she is naturally blessed."
She wouldn't be stupid enough to offend the Crown Princess.
The main purpose of her coming today was just to see Xing Qing. She glanced at the quiet and beautiful woman sitting next to her, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was!
The village head's wife ignored her and said to Xing Nong with a smile, "In addition to this blessing quilt, there is also a cradle and a baby crib, which are made of century-old peach wood and can ward off evil spirits. Your uncle Gu went to the street where the timber shop was and spread the word that he was looking for century-old peach wood. Immediately, the owner of the timber shop took out the century-old peach wood that was the treasure of the whole family! Moreover, he knew that they were going to make a cradle and a baby crib, so he suggested engraving longevity patterns and auspicious cloud patterns on them. The longevity characters on them were handwritten by one hundred centenarians over the age of ninety, and then engraved by carvers! It means longevity and longevity!"
The villagers also gave Xingnong many things they produced at home as makeup, but those local specialties were not suitable to be shown out, so the village head's wife did not mention them one by one.
Shen Ruolan signaled the maid behind her to hand over the brocade box.
When Wei Zi saw her ask the maid to pass it to Xingnong, she immediately took it and presented it to Xingnong.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, “Xing Nong, open it and see if you like it.”
Don't hit a smiling person. Although Xingnong doesn't like her, it is a fact that she is Xingqing's biological mother.
We have to give Xingqing this little bit of face.
She opened them one by one and took a look. The gift from Shen Ruolan was a white jade bracelet, the gift from Princess Changle was a set of head ornaments, and the gift from Prince Yongan was a jade pot. They were all good, but lacked some thoughtfulness.
As her aunt, she even handed the dowry to her personally. Isn't that just heartless
Xing Nong thanked him politely but coldly: "Thank you."
Shen Ruoxi was somewhat unhappy with Xing Nong's attitude. After all, she was her aunt, and she was not as affectionate to her own aunt as a peasant woman.
Next, the wife of the Minister of Justice turned around and took the brocade box from the maid behind her, opened it, and presented it to Xing Nong with both hands respectfully: "I wish the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a long and happy life!"
Shen Ruolan introduced happily: “Xingnong, this is the wife of the Minister of Personnel, she came here specially to add makeup to you!”
After saying that, she glanced at Xing Qing.
She had seen the son of the Minister of Personnel. He was truly a handsome man and a good match for her own Xing Qing!
Xing Nong took it with both hands and said calmly: “Madam Shen, it’s better for you to call me the Crown Princess, otherwise it’s against the rules.”
Shen Ruolan’s expression froze.
Just now she asked the village head's wife to call her by her name, but now she asked me to call her Crown Princess? Why didn't she follow the rules just now
After all, I am her aunt. Doesn't she know who is closer to her and who is not
