After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 23 Lantern Festival ([-])

His gaze immediately fell on her hairpin, which was wearing a blood-colored red jade carved hairpin. The body of the hairpin was translucent and shiny. "

The corners of Zhang Zhilan's mouth twitched slightly, and then he squeezed out a kind smile, "Damn, of course I'm willing."

"It's just, is this hairpin not suitable for you?" This is a blood jade flower hairpin worth three rooms!It is the most restrained and precious hairpin in her jewelry. I wanted to show it off tonight, but I wanted to overwhelm Mrs. Jiang and the second and third bedrooms.

Jiang Shi, Shen Pingjin's concubine, third aunt.

"I think it fits very well!" Su Wunian inserted her hands into her bun, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, scratching her head and making poses.This red is her favorite color, elegant but not extravagant, and it matches her begonia flower skirt and jacket very well.

Zhang Zhilan couldn't say anything anymore, and didn't give any more "pointing", and found an excuse to go back to the room, and went to find a suitable hairpin again.

Zhujian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to carefully dress up Su Wunian.But as far as the current rouge, gouache, jewelry and dress are, the original beauty of the eldest lady is still suppressed, like a pearl covered in dust.

"Miss, you are so beautiful." Zhu Jian had seen too many rich and powerful people in the silk shop before. She was originally a bright beauty, but she didn't realize her ugliness because of wearing inappropriate dresses.

"Tomorrow, you will go out of the house to buy everything for me." Su Wunian was extremely relieved of the aesthetics of candle scissors.

"Yes, from now on, Zhujian will dress the eldest lady beautifully and charmingly every day." Zhujian smiled like a flower.

With laughter and laughter, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is very lively and a bustling scene.

Su Wunian went out to the Lantern Festival with everyone in the Shen family. She hadn't been to this fun for many years.

"This year's Lantern Festival seems to be more lively than previous years." The voice of vicissitudes reveals elegance and condescending dignity, and it has the courage to overlook the mountains and rivers.The face is full of kindness, the forehead band embroidered with auspicious patterns in maroon surrounds the gorgeous hair that looks like the first snow falling in the severe winter, the eye sockets are slightly sunken, and the dark brown eyes are printed with the lights of the prosperous age, and the criss-crossing ravines on the face are different in depth, as if telling The twists and turns of the past.

"Yeah, I heard that the eldest princess advocated holding this lantern festival, saying that this year is too deserted." Zhang Zhilan smiled dignifiedly, and her voice became a little louder, after all, the streets were noisy.

"We came out early, the blind shooting competition hasn't started yet, let's go shopping first and then go to the direction of the Star Picking Tower." Sanfang Zhu suggested with a warm smile.Zhu's family is the concubine of the Hou family, humble and polite, with a certain amount of advance and retreat.

"The Star Picking Tower is the place where young people should go. Blindly shooting and killing people, I don't want to see that. Let's go back after a while." Mrs. Shen smiled.

"Yes." Zhang Zhilan and Zhu Shi agreed with a smile.

Old Mrs. Shen was supported by Zhang Zhilan and Sanfang Zhu, talking and laughing along the way.

And the neglected Erfang Zhou walked the furthest away from the old lady, with her mouth curled like a sickle, and Shen Mengxi who was beside her stepped forward and whispered comfortingly: "Mother, they will come to curry favor with you one day."

This made Zhou feel better, "Mother has endured it for so many years, and I finally look forward to the day when you can win me over."

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter won't let you down." Shen Mengxi smiled proudly, and inadvertently glanced at Shen Shengge who was following Zhang Zhilan, "Look at her like that, she's nowhere near as good as my daughter."

"Anyone with eyes would choose me too." His eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt.

Zhu Jian, who was following Su Wunian, obviously heard it, and only curled his lips into a sneer.

Walking to the street jewelry stall, Mrs. Shen stopped, and a group of people stopped and surrounded the jewelry stall.

Old Mrs. Shen picked up a string of mutton fat jade bracelets in her hand full of traces of time, "This jade is of high quality and pure texture, suitable for my girl from the Shen family."

Shen Mengxi's eyes were bright, and she was secretly happy. Could it be that grandma is going to choose jewelry for us?

"Yes, my mother has always had a unique vision." Zhang Zhilan praised immediately.

"Come." Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Mengli behind Su Wunian, took her hand, pushed the mutton fat jade bracelet into her wrist, and praised: "It really matches well."

Shen Mengli was flattered, looked at the bracelet, couldn't put it down, "Thank you, grandma!"

"We, Lier, naturally deserve the best." She smiled kindly and narrowed her eyes into a line.

Shen Mengxi's face was twisted into a ball as if she had eaten a sour plum. As long as there was something about her, Shen Mengxi, I, Shen Mengxi, would be just a foil, and it would be difficult to cover up her sharpness.

Who told her to have a good life, she was born in a concubine's house, but who knew that the main wife was unconscious, so the concubine raised her to be a second wife, and she changed from a concubine to a concubine, and she was raised by her grandmother, what good luck Let her take it all!
The hands in the sleeves twisted up the sleeves subconsciously, and scratches were made on the nails.

Shen Mengli deliberately smiled and raised her hand, wishing everyone could see the bracelet on her wrist, which silently showed her status in Shen's residence to everyone, and even deliberately put it where Su Wunian could see.

Su Wunian turned a blind eye, expressionless.

"Shengge, didn't you say that you want to change some jewelry recently? Come on, let's see which ones you like? Feel free to pick." Zhang Zhilan said with a loving smile on her face.

The complacency on Shen Mengli's face stiffened for a moment, and he put down his hand unknowingly.

Lightly glanced at the jewelry stall, Su Wunian said lightly, "I don't like any of them."

"Third Aunt." A young man's voice came from behind.

"Shuoer!" Mrs. Zhu looked towards the voice and said with a smile.

When everyone heard the sound and looked back, a young man in a gown with embroidered lotus leaf patterns in the color of a German supervisor was slightly bending over to salute. He raised his body, his figure was tall and handsome.

"Master Zhu." Shen Mengxi was overjoyed, she rubbed her hands in her sleeves, and her smile was full of shyness.

He smiled dotingly, "I haven't seen you for many years, why isn't Xiao Mengxi called Brother Zhu?"

"My parents have grown up, and they are no longer that little girl." Shen Mengxi pouted, as if she was acting like a spoiled child.

When Zhu saw this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Standing behind Su Wunian, the candle scissors carefully looked at Su Wunian's expression, but fortunately, there was no wave on the eldest lady's face.This Shen Mengxi is too inconsiderate, she is so close to Lord Zhu Xiaohou, if it wasn't for the public, she might have licked her face and stuck it up.

I don't know this, but I thought it was her and Zhu Xiaohou who made a baby kiss since they were young!

"Since you and Shengge haven't seen each other for a long time, it's a coincidence today, and it's a beautiful day, you can go around with Shengge. After a while, you go to the Star Picking Tower together, and we won't join in the fun." Zhang Zhilan suggested.

"Yes." Master Zhu Xiaohou glanced at Su Wunian, hesitated to speak, and finally agreed.

Su Wunian and Young Master Zhu walked side by side, followed by Zhujian and Young Master Zhu's personal servant.
