Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 85
The thought flashed, and the eyes became more respectful: "It was the eldest princess who sent the director Zhang from the mansion to bring the winter solstice to the old lady."

Zhao Xi was slightly startled, the eldest princess actually dispatched the head of the house?

Speaking and listening to the sound, the winter solstice ceremony, that means to tell the Zhao family that the eldest princess has decided to help the Queen Mother on the winter solstice festival.

My heart turned back and forth, but on the surface, I held the tea cup calmly and said with a smile, "The eldest princess really has a heart."

Mammy Zhou smiled cheerfully: "I sent a pair of thousand-year-old ginseng, two boxes of Qiongzhou bird's nest, and eight boxes of Dong'e's Ejiao, and I also specially sent a pair of red gold heads to the young lady, saying that I will let you enter the palace for a banquet. when wearing it."

He gave her a face and asked her to wear it to the banquet, meaning she still wanted to attend.

Zhou maiden said with a long sigh, "Miss, my servant is watching you gain a firm foothold in this mansion day by day, and I know that you are a person of great wisdom. This servant will not follow you around. , the queen mother and her majesty are not in harmony, you must know it, and because the prime minister refused to stand in line to express his position, the queen mother was already unhappy. It happened to bump into you back to the house, and there was a disturbance at Lianhua Temple. You also like it so much, these things together will completely anger the Empress Dowager."

She stared deeply at Zhao Xiwei and said earnestly: "The will of the Empress Dowager, let alone the eldest princess, even the present majesty would not dare to disobey, now the eldest princess can enter the palace for you to have a banquet like this. Shangxin, it can be seen that I really want to support you."

The words have already been said for this kind of sake, and if you don't understand it, you will be acting stupid.

After sending off Mother Zhou, Zhao Xi opened the window slightly, and the cold wind hit his cheeks, making people extraordinarily awake.

She must go to this banquet, but the eldest princess will definitely help with this task.

But what happened to the banquet and how much the eldest princess could help was beyond her control.

This kind of feeling that fate is in the hands of others is too bad.

When will she be able to turn things around and be a free person?
The night wind was rustling, and the cuckoo birds were chirping in the distance, which made people feel infinitely sad.

Jinxiu silently stood aside and sighed silently.

This yet-to-be-arrived palace banquet made the young lady very depressed and depressed, and she didn't know when she would recover.

However, what Jinxiu never expected was that within two days, her young lady became active and determined.

On this day, Zhao Xiwei was sitting lazily under the window reading a book when a letter came from the Qiao family.

She was a young maid with red lips and white teeth, her surname was Wu, but she was in her thirties, with a bright smile.

"Our wife asked the servants to speak to Miss Zhao, saying, "Miss, your flower tea is really good, not only the envoys from Honglu Temple drank it and praised it, but even people from all over the house fell in love with it. It smells like nectar."

As he said that, he handed over a red lacquered box with both hands: "This is 200 taels in full, please accept it, Ms. Zhao."

Zhao Xi thanked him slightly, and Jinxiu took the box forward.

Mama Wu smiled, and with a wink behind her, the little girl held up a jeweled makeup box and respectfully handed it over.

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised.

Mother Wu said with a smile: "Our wife said that Qiao and Zhao are very good friends, and there will be many things to disturb Miss Zhao in the future. Business is business, and favor is favor. This set of jade jewelry also invites Miss Zhao. Don't despise it."

Zhao Xiwei swallowed the refusal words he said to his mouth.

Since the Qiao family has made it clear that she wants to communicate with herself, she just needs this connection, so why bother to talk about those false manners.

After Wu's mother left, Zhao Xiwei opened the makeup box and found that it was a set of extremely exquisite and luxurious hairpins, a total of sixteen pieces, which were worth at least dozens of taels at a glance.

There was also a small box inlaid with gems. Zhao Xiwei opened it and was stunned.

It's a box of pollen.

I thought Qiao Yunqian was just talking about it casually, but I didn't expect such a valuable thing to be given away.

Just remembered that Mrs. Qiao was also such a cheerful, cheerful and well-rounded temperament, as if the Qiao family were like this.

This Joe family is really interesting.

Several maids gathered around, Yin Bao's eyes were bright, looking at the box full of silver taels, and exclaimed: "I have never seen so much money in my life!!"

Jinxiu looked at her look like a money fan, and jokingly said, "Don't call it Yinbao at all, just call it Yuanbao."

However, Yinbao puffed up his cheeks and made a round expression: "Yinbao is also good, big and round, who doesn't love it! Don't you love it? Don't you love it? Don't love next month's month I got the money for you!"

Made everyone laugh.

Jinxiu said with emotion: "Miss, we finally have money, and we no longer have to pawn jewelry to live."

Zhao Xi smiled: "Yeah, I told you a long time ago that as long as we live steadily, there will always be ways to earn money."

Having said that, Jinxiu put away the silver liang: "We will be busy now. The wind turns today, and it will snow in two days. The most important thing in making plum tea is to take the plum blossoms covered with thin snow. , then you will all have to suffer a little."

"I said on the day I entered the mansion, as long as you follow me with peace of mind, others will benefit, and I will not miss you. Tea making requires everyone's concerted efforts. Starting from this month, your monthly payment will be doubled, from me Dial."

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of several people froze.

His eyes were wide and his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

Did they hear it right?

Double the monthly money! !

Yin Bao was the first to come back to his senses, and carefully pulled Zhao Xiwei to confirm: "Really, Miss, do you really want to give us a monthly increase!?"

Seeing Zhao Xi nodded slightly, without any intention of joking, he hurriedly bowed his knees and gave a big gift: "Miss, you are really good! This slave is willing to serve you for the rest of your life!"

"The slave is willing to serve the young lady for the rest of her life!"

"Slave servants too!"

Zhao Xiwei's mood brightened.

Money can really solve a lot of problems.

On the day of the Winter Solstice, the female family members of the Zhao family are going to enter the palace for a banquet.

Zhao Xi got up before dawn, bathed, dressed, incense, and put on a complicated and solemn dress.

The maids came up holding the exquisite jewelry boxes. Zhao Xiwei's fingers gently slid over the bright pearl jewelry, paused on the gold-encrusted jade hairpin that the old lady sent, and finally picked a pale pink one. entwined rose hairpin.

This color is fresh and elegant, and the workmanship is extremely delicate. It is inserted in the hair like a rose after the rain, which is neither too high-profile nor too shabby.
