Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 167
Li Tian looked at him speechlessly, and when he finished talking, he sighed and smiled wryly: "Where is there a troupe of prostitutes in our house? Just buy it with money, how many days are there before the Lantern Festival? Even if there are new songs and new dances, how can you arrange them? You really..." Li Tian spread his hands and didn't know what to say. The fifth prince originally wanted to make trouble and grab Li Tian's "beauties in the yard", but He picked the wrong place again, and his face became a little hot. As a daughter-in-law, he didn't surrender before entering the door. After passing the door, it was even more difficult to train her!
More than 300 people were kicked out of the King's Mansion of Jin'an County, but the capital was quiet. The gossip was still spread, but it was spread very quietly, and they whispered to each other, lest they would be overheard.

Eunuch Zheng and the official reported a few simple words about the event of expulsion from the Prince's Mansion of Jin'an County. There were too many people expelled this time. It was the Prince's Mansion. Eunuch Zheng had to report, and the official raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. The tiredness in the room ordered: "Go for a while, the prince opened the house to pick someone, and there was such a big mistake. This person was too careless in the selection, so please give me a few words of admonition."

"Yes." Eunuch Zheng respectfully agreed, and the unease in his heart fell to the ground. Since the officials let the admonition to pick people, they did not pick the right ones. .

Eunuch Zheng walked over and lectured a few words, and several Yushi who were holding impeachment papers in their sleeves, who were ready to watch the wind, put the papers back, and quietly threw them into the brazier for incineration.

The growing atmosphere of the New Year has washed away all the things that are not suitable for the festival, and the busy New Year has also made the whole capital unable to pay attention to the trivial matters of those parents for a while. I got out of the center, and I was as busy as everyone else preparing for the first New Year after the opening of the house.

Xiong Momo and Wen Momo were the chief stewardesses of the prince's family who had handled major affairs and had great general demeanor. It was not a problem to organize the New Year's Eve in the Prince's Mansion of Jin'an County, because it was the Prince's Mansion, and Shui Qiuniang also No longer living in a simple house, leaving early and returning late every day to give directions, and at night, together with Yue Niang, the four of them were divided into two shifts to check around. Mother Qiao and the others were also so attentive that Li Tian did not expect it. This first New Year has been extremely smooth.

Just after noon on New Year's Day, Li Tian stretched his arms and stood in front of the bronze mirror. Ying Luo, Qing Zhi and the others put on those luxurious and complicated dresses for her layer by layer. Alright, Shui Qiuniang circled around Li Tian, ​​bent down and picked up the footstep, weighed it and said: "This footstep is a little light, change to a heavier one, the place for the big Nuo show is empty, the wind is a bit strong today, in case Once the skirt is blown up, it’s not good.”

Yingluo hurriedly went to search for a heavier step, Li Tian suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Bring that Ping An Fuxi huanghuali box, it's just right to use that small bracelet as a step." Yingluo was stunned for a moment. , I understood which box Li Tian was talking about, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, that little bracelet is just right for stopping steps." Then, without ordering others, he took a few steps and ran into the ear with the skirt. In a short time, he took out the palm-sized huanghuali box.

Li Tian took the box and opened it, handed the emerald jade bracelet that was as emerald as water to Shui Qiuniang and said with a smile: "Look, sir, is this small bracelet suitable for a restraint?" Shui Qiuniang took the small bracelet, carefully After looking at it, he sighed and smiled, "Who is this so good at wasting things? What's wrong with carving such a fine piece of jadeite, but carving it into such a small bracelet, who can wear this bracelet?"

"It's my full moon gift, given by an elder."

"That's true." Shui Qiuniang shook her head while laughing, she didn't know what to say: "The child grows up so fast that he is carved into a bracelet. This hurts too much. This kind of thought is rare."

"Well, sir, look at this box, and the silk padding inside the box is exactly the same as the bracelet. It's rare to have such care." Li Tian smiled and handed the box in his hand to Shui Qiuniang, and Shui Qiuniang handed over the bracelet Handing Yingluo to wear the net, she stretched out her hand to take the box, looked at the box first, opened the box with a smile and sighed, and saw the big red damask on the box, she opened her eyes and was stunned.

Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang in surprise, Shui Qiuniang took two steps back and sat down, put the box on the round table, took out the silk with trembling fingers, spread it in the palm of her hand, and looked at it inch by inch, Suddenly turned it over and put it on the table, leaned over and looked carefully at a green leaf in the corner.Li Tian stared closely at the expressions on Shui Qiuniang's face, seeing astonishment, surprise, sorrow, sadness, and even all kinds of expressions, all expressions were there, but no expression could be seen.

"Sir, do you know this embroidered cloth?" Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang who was holding up the big red silk silk in a daze, and asked softly.

"Ah? No... no, it's nothing, the princess should go, it's nothing serious, let's talk about it when I come back." Shui Qiuniang was in a trance, holding Liaoling tightly, stood up, looked down at the box, then turned her head to look again The small bracelet that was already hanging on Li Tian's skirt, walked up to Li Tian, ​​raised his hand to touch the slightly swaying Chifengbuyao on Li Tian's temples, and dropped his fingers, stroking the gorgeously embroidered scarf on Li Tian's body, as if sighing After taking a breath, he confessed in a low voice: "Go, don't be afraid, there are many elders."

Li Tian was full of doubts, but it was late, so he had no choice but to come back and talk.

The fifth prince had already packed his clothes. He was dressed in a black-bottomed dragon embroidered dress, and he looked extraordinarily handsome. He was so handsome that people couldn't take his eyes off him. Li Tian couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Ever since she knew she was going to marry him, she wanted to marry him. Forget that he is known as the most beautiful man in the capital. To be exact, ever since he ran into him in Muji that time, and he smiled back at herself and Wuwan, she only saw that he was a bastard, and never saw him again. Besides, this was the first time she found that he looked good in black, and when he was so serious, he was indeed not bad.

As if sensing Li Tian's scrutiny, the Fifth Prince put his hands behind his back, looked Li Tian up and down and commented: "You don't look good in this big dress, and anyone else doesn't look good in this dress."

Li Tian just felt that the goodness was wiped out by his words, and he squinted at him and said: "I have never had to wear such ugly and uncomfortable clothes in the past. Let's go, it's getting late." Fifth Prince Immediately, he heard the meaning behind Li Tian's words, and raised his brows, what do you mean?Does she think she has hurt her?Who hurt whom?

Yingluo and Qingzhi took the sable cloak and put it on for them. The fifth prince was embarrassed by Li Tian's words, so he went out with Li Tian to watch the new year with a calm face.

Leaning on the pillar in front of the upper door, Yue Niang folded her arms on her chest, watched the two of them turn out of the hanging flower door, and sighed a long time: "To be honest, that master is really good-looking, Wu Niangzi is not as good-looking as him!"

"The concubine said, why do men want to be so good-looking?" Yinhua retorted, and Yue Niang laughed: "She is no one's good-looking, of course you said that." Yin Hua gave Yue Niang a white look, but laughed, Yue Niang This is not wrong, their prince is indeed prettier than the princess.

The day-watchers in the ban have many things and rules, and they don't have the joy of a normal family gathering together. Li Tian and the fifth prince, Zhao and Mu, each divided their things and kept busy until after the third watch. After Tusu wine, sachets and all kinds of auspicious Pepsi bags, the female relatives went out of the palace, and the males were led by the servants to wash and change their clothes, preparing for the first and most grand court meeting of the new year.

Originally, the wives of the inner and outer wives should also greet the queen on New Year's Day, but when the official family ascended the throne, the post was empty, and the rule of the wives from the inner and outer wives to the queen to celebrate the New Year's Day has been abandoned.

There is no need to celebrate New Year's Day, but there is no time to spare for the whole day. Li Tian went back to the house and changed his clothes. He drank half a bowl of hot soup in Yingluo's hand, and rushed out, with Princess Shou Ji and Princess Han. The Fan family and Princess Zhu Mingyan of Jian'an County will go to one place to greet the old concubines of Qingxiu and the elders of the Qin clan. When we arrived at the mansion, it was already midnight.

On the second day of the lunar new year, I went to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense. On the third day of the new year, I went to Nanyuan to watch the horse racing. On the fourth day of the new year, it was the beginning of spring. By the sixth day of the new year, the Lantern Festival of the new year had already begun, and Li Tian stopped for a while from the state of being around.

As an adult prince, the fifth prince is naturally busier than Li Tian. Li Tian paused, but he still left early and returned late.

Li Tian received the New Year's congratulations from the servants and servants in the mansion, and sent an auspicious seal, so he hurried back to the main courtyard to look for Shui Qiuniang.

Shui Qiuniang seemed to have been waiting for Li Tian to find her a long time ago. She guarded the small red clay stove and boiled the water. First, she made a cup of clear tea and passed it to Li Tian. , talking about the past in a calm voice: "After I became a criminal official, I can't remember when I was four or five years old. My family was raided and I became an official slave. When I was six years old, the official family got married and opened a mansion. I was assigned to the hidden mansion as a slave."

Li Tian took a sip of tea and listened to Shui Qiuniang's past quietly and attentively. Shui Qiuniang held the cup and looked at the pot of delicate yellow narcissus blooming on the corner table in a daze. There was a trace of nostalgic smile oozing out: "I have never suffered any hardship since I entered the mansion. I remember clearly that day the nanny almost took off my skin after washing, and told me that if I don't learn to be smart, if no one wants me, I will starve to death, and I will not be far from starving to death at that time, that day, I stood in the sun with many girls, that was the first time I saw As far as Sister Mingyue, everyone said that Sister Yue is not good-looking, and Sister Mingyue also said that she is not good-looking, but until now, I just think that Sister Mingyue is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang in a daze, who is this sister Mingyue?Shui Qiuniang's face was already filled with a warm smile: "Sister Mingyue wore an apricot-yellow silk skirt that day. Big girl, Sister Mingyue treated me very well, I was too young when my mother died, and I didn’t remember what she was like, so I felt that the best mother and the best sister in the world were not half as good as Sister Mingyue.”
