Chapter 181 (1/2)
Qi Feng was right. It wasn't long before Tian Jin defeated Daye and surrendered to Dajin Dynasty. It was beyond everyone's expectation that the war lasted so long. Tianjin state is just a small area. I don't know when it will have the power to compete with Dajin Dynasty. It's really thought-provoking. However, in any case, in addition to giving a warning to the great Jin Dynasty, it was a defeat in the end. The emissary with the letter will be the same class division back to the king's army a Jin into the capital face saint. Among them, there are a lot of rumors about the compensation for land cutting. Specifically, there is a personal statement. I don't know which news is true.
It's a long journey from the border to Jingshan. I can't go back for a while. Nevertheless, the whole house of King Jinying began to be busy. Housekeeper Lin arranged what Xiao Shao should do after he returned to the house every day. The most important thing was Xiao Shao's marriage to Jiang Ruan. Before Xiao Shao left Beijing, the Empress Dowager made a decree and married him only when his class teacher returned to the imperial court. Now that Jiang Ruan is out of filial piety, he will soon be the young lady of Jinying palace. Housekeeper Lin has been calculating since he received the edict a year ago. Jiang Ruan thought everything was in order. Who knows that housekeeper Lin is still worrying about it. Everything from the water beads on the wedding invitation to the carved patterns on the ivory chopsticks used at the banquet is just about the same.
The dew bypassed housekeeper Lin and made a gesture of begging for mercy: ”housekeeper Lin, this list has been changed dozens of times. I really can't think of anything. Please forgive me. I'm just a slave. ”
Housekeeper Lin looked at the dewdrop and said, ”since you are with so many people around the young lady, you also know the people she usually meets. This wedding banquet can't be finished in a hurry. The more exquisite it is, the more we can see whether our royal family respects the young lady. So the young lady has face, and you are proud to be her servant. What's more, since you are a member of the palace, you have to regard yourself as one of us. Why can't you be so calm? Let's have a look. How about this small porridge made into a light Jiangnan flavor? ”
Dew turned a white eye, simply did not turn around Lin housekeeper walked toward the house.
Back in the room, forsythia and Angelica are surrounded by Jiang Ruan, don't know what to do, even Tianzhu also stood aside to look, dew strange way: ”eh, what is this?”
The soft couch in front of Jiang Ruan was covered with a layer of things. When he walked in, the dew could see clearly. He couldn't help exclaiming: ”what a beautiful wedding dress!”
Most of the wedding dresses that this woman married were embroidered by herself, and she began to sew them for herself as early as a few years ago. The craftsmanship of the wedding dresses can also show the girl's needlework. When a girl embroiders her wedding dress, she is in a sweet mood. But when Jiang Ruan received the Empress Dowager's edict, he was in a hurry. He even moved to King Jinying's house. He didn't think about the wedding dress every day. The time was too tight, so he didn't embroider. It's time to ask the clothes shop in Beijing to make one, as long as it doesn't lose the side of Jinying palace. Who knows that the shopkeeper of baoyuelou came to deliver the wedding dress today. He said that Xiao Shao ordered baoyuelou to make it when he left Beijing. Who is king Jinying? After receiving this list, he can eat it for three years. The shopkeeper invited the best xiuniang, and with a spirit of 120000, he finally finished it for Jiang Ruan before Xiao Shao came back.
Jiang Ruan himself was still surprised. She didn't know when she was making clothes. How did Xiao Shao know her size? However, it's not a time to worry about this. Although we know that baoyuelou always makes clothes for the empress in the palace, even Jiang Ruan can't help taking a breath when he gets the wedding dress.
The whole body of the wedding dress is bright red, but it's not ordinary red. It's like the clouds in the sky slowly flowing into the clouds. It's warm, soft and gorgeous. The cloth is made of silk with double nests. It's embroidered with gold and silver threads. The gold and silver threads are very thin, and the stitches are very delicate. The Phoenix's neck is flying, and a colorful Phoenix's tail is beautiful, The bottom is decorated with colorful gems, which are almost dazzling when gently shaken.
The crowns are delicate and small, not heavy, and they don't feel hard to wear. The green bird feathers are sparkling, reflecting the intoxicating color. The crowns are decorated with jewels. The golden dragon, the green phoenix and the pearls are resplendent and magnificent, which can't be achieved by ordinary craftsmen. On the crown of the Phoenix, the Golden Dragon rises and leaps over the green clouds, and the green phoenix spreads its wings and flies among the jewelry flowers and leaves. The most moving thing is a bead in the mouth of Cuifeng in the middle. The whole body is crystal clear and round, and the color is faint and transparent. It can emit bright luster with people's walking. With such a phoenix crown, the whole body is really bright.
Not only that, but also Hua Chai's step rocking, double ring gold rings, concentric knot locks, and happy shoes embroidered with mandarin ducks. In this whole set, Jiang Ruan had already seen the magnificence and wealth of the palace in his previous life, as well as the Royal dress of the queen. At this moment, he could not help but be a little lost.
A woman's wedding dress is supposed to bear all her hopes for the future. She will try her best to make it more beautiful. In this life, she was not particularly interested in all the beautiful things, but Xiao Shao was so thoughtful. Dewdrop's mouth was wide open in surprise. She was stunned. After a long time, she murmured, ”my uncle is really generous. This is to let the girl wear a Shangshu mansion on her body.”
Forsythia ”poof Chi” a laugh out, way: ”all nonsense, what do you mean a Shangshu house wear on the body?” She took a look at the exquisite wedding dress, which didn't look like the only one in the world. She laughed more and more happily: ”how can Shangshu mansion buy this wedding dress?”Since Jiang Quan's attitude towards Jiang Ruan became colder and colder, and even didn't take the initiative to ask Jiang Ruan a question within a year, several servant girls around Jiang Ruan had been colder to Jiang Quan. At first, they thought that Jiang Quan would see Jiang Ruan's good one day. After all, he was his own father and daughter. He broke the bone and connected the tendons. Now they don't want to mention him any more. Hengli Jiang Ruan is about to marry into Jinying's mansion. He will be the people of Jinying's mansion in the future. He still cares what those irrelevant people do. Without this layer of scruples, forsythia spoke impolitely to Jiang Fu.
They all laughed again. Jiang Ruan's eyes fell on the wedding dress, and he couldn't help shaking his head. He really wanted to wear it, but he didn't know what kind of sensation it would cause. Xiao Shao's wedding dress is worth all the property of a five grade official in the capital. It is estimated that when he gets married, he won't pass on the name of the evil girl of the country, but she can't run away.
Just then, he heard a report from someone outside: ”young lady, young master Xia and young master Qi have come to see you.”
Jiang Ruan asked Angelica dahurica to put away their wedding clothes, pushed the door and went out. As soon as they went out, they saw Xia Qing and Qi Feng sitting at the stone table in the yard. When they saw her coming, Qi Feng joked with a smile: ”listen to the servants in this house that the wedding clothes of baoyuelou have been delivered. My fifth brother and I are gambling.”
”Bet on what?” Jiang Ruan smiles.
”Bet on the value of the wedding dress given by the third brother.” Xia Qing's baby face is particularly pleasing. When she talks seriously, she looks very cute: ”my fourth brother guesses it's 100000 Liang, I think it's 50000 Liang.”
These two people are so bored that they bet on it. Jiang Ruan was a little bit embarrassed. He only felt that Xiao Shao's brothers were very lively. He didn't know how Xiao Shao's stuffy gourd was formed. Just at this time, I heard Xia Qing's crisp voice again: ”it's just that whether it's 50000 Liang or 100000 Liang, the third brother is too wasteful. There is no such expensive dress. I don't know how many people I can save if I take the money to open more charities. ”
”It's none of your business,” Qi Feng banged Xia Qing's head: ”you don't earn the third brother's silver. You didn't build Jinying palace. What happened to the third sister-in-law wearing a wedding dress? If I marry a wife like my third sister-in-law, I will certainly spare no effort to find a dress worthy of her! ” As soon as his voice fell, Qi Feng suddenly realized what he was talking about. He couldn't help his voice and looked at Jiang Ruan uneasily.
Jiang Ruan turned a deaf ear and seemed to be thinking about something else. Qi Feng's eyes darkened. Xia Qing touched his head and said wrongly, ”fourth brother, you are more and more towards third sister-in-law now. It's not your mother. Why are you so tight? Do you want any more friendship with your brother
”You --” Qi Feng really wants to beat this little brother. In the twinkling of an eye, he saw that Jiang Ruan was thoughtful, and his action slowed down.
Jiang Ruan was thinking that it was time for her to marry Xiao Shao. In this life, she does not want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life, so every move is to try to avoid taking the road of her previous life. In her last life, she failed to be a decent wife. The imperial concubine looked at the scenery, but she was not a concubine of the emperor. To become the young lady of Jinying palace is to have a solid backing. Xiao Shao's power can make her do many things more convenient. The most important thing is that she can get rid of Xuanli's shadow completely. In this life, in one thing, she finally cut off the last point of involvement with Xuanli. From then on, as a woman of the Xiao family, she would not belong to the Xuan family.
She looked back at Qi Feng and Xia Qing and said with a smile: ”in a word, Xiao Shao is coming back, and so is my elder brother. I'm afraid the stable situation in the capital will change soon. Recently, don't take it lightly. I'm not worried about Mr. Qi, but Mr. Xia...”
Xia Qing refused: ”what's wrong with me? Third sister-in-law, how do you treat them differently? ”
”You are kind-hearted and gentle, so you can't avoid being used.” Jiang Ruan said with a smile: ”it's better to keep an eye on it. Be careful before Xiao Shao and they return to Beijing. ”
Xia Qing and Qi Feng looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and said, ”well, sister-in-law Chang is like a mother. I listen to sister-in-law San.”
The dew was laughing on one side.
