Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 225 Fan Mansion (1)

Qingzhi brought people in to clean up. Li Tian ordered the waiter Fifth Prince to wash and change clothes and set meals in a trembling voice. He couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or other reasons, but the Fifth Prince was smiling. very nice.

After eating, the fifth prince stretched his waist and said, "I'll go to Dongjiang Mi Hutong and wait for elder brother. When he comes out of Chang'an Hou's mansion, we will go to Fan Xiang's mansion together to salute. Fan Xiang is the crown prince and grand tutor. I have studied the Book of Songs with him for two years, so I have to go there and salute." Li Tian looked at the fifth prince and said nothing, the ceremony is a formal ceremony, but it would appear to be a ghost if the words are too grand, the fifth prince's eyes lightened, and he explained with a sneer : "I don't know what's going on. Last night, I saw that my elder brother was very worried. I accompanied him to see the person all night. It was the first time I saw him put on such a posture. When I went to Chang'an Hou Mansion this morning, I told me Wait for him in Dongjiang Mi Hutong, and accompany him to Fan Xiang's mansion to salute Fan Xiang's wife. Fan Xiang has spoken to his elder brother seriously for several years. In previous years, Fan Xiang and his wife celebrated their birthdays. "

"What you told me just now, did you mean it, or the meaning of King Shou?" Li Tian remembered a question he had forgotten just now when he was interrupted: "I mean." The fifth prince answered very quickly and confidently: " If you don't help me, who can help me?" Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, since King Shou felt that there was a clear distinction between the inside and the outside, and women only care about outside affairs, then this order is a good thing if it comes from him.

After sending off the fifth prince, Li Tian came back after finishing his affairs, sat on the kang and thought about it for a long time, then ordered Shui Qiuniang to come over.

When Shui Qiuniang came in, the room was very lively, Yingluo was gesturing to Li Tian for the small jade bracelet, Qingzhi, Yinhua and others stood by to express their opinions, seeing Shui Qiuniang coming in, Yingluo smiled and said: "Mr. Shui has the best vision, let him see where to put it."

"I think it's better to do the ban." Yinhua insisted on her own opinion: "The ban is not conspicuous, and you can't see it without lowering your head." Qingzhi objected: "It's better to wear the plume."

"It's good to make Xiapei pendants, but this is a family banquet, not a New Year's Day ceremony. If you want Fengguanxiapei, how can you use Xiapei pendants if you don't have Xiapei?" Yinhua's question made Qing Zhi dumb.

"The concubine will go to Fan Xiangfu to celebrate her birthday in a while, and she will wear this jade bracelet." Yingluo explained to Shui Qiuniang worriedly, and Shui Qiuniang looked at Li Tian in surprise, and Li Tian simply explained: "It's such a good piece." Emeralds, you can’t leave them there all the time, sir, come with me to Fan Xiang’s mansion later.” Shui Qiuniang knew that there must be a reason for Li Tian’s words, there were so many people at the moment, it was not the time to ask questions, so she responded with a smile, and stretched out her hand from Yingluo. He took the bracelet in his hand, looked at Li Tian, ​​thought about where to use it, and said with a smile: "Such a fine emerald should be used, but also in a conspicuous place?"

"Yes, it is like that."

"Let me think about it." Shui Qiuniang made gestures for a while and smiled: "This bracelet is not too big, but it is not too small, and it can only be used as a restraint. How about this? I remember that there are many princesses with curtains. If you are looking for a red gold butterfly, why not take a larger one and tie it in the middle of the bracelet, and then tie a few smaller gold butterflies underneath, and then add a plain skirt, so that the ban will be very conspicuous."

Qingzhi hurriedly fetched those golden butterflies, and took all kinds of silk threads and pearl threads that were tied together. Yinhua hurried in and brought out more than a dozen plain skirts. Several people were busy for more than half an hour, and put the bracelet and the golden butterfly together. Stringed together with a net, the golden butterfly is extremely delicate, with a slight shake, the wing whiskers will sway slightly, just like a real butterfly, this series of forbidden steps is dazzling and agile.

Shui Qiuniang picked out for Li Tian a golden white butterfly wearing a brocade beige with flowers and clouds, a jade silk satin tube top and the same satin skirt. Li Tian changed it and put it on. A pair of lotus seed-sized pearl earrings and pearl bracelets were put on for Li Tian, ​​Shui Qiuniang changed her clothes, and several people went out to get in the car and headed to Fan Xiang's residence.

Li Tian first went to Chengzhi Hall to celebrate Fan Xiang's wife Wu's birthday. There were already many people in Chengzhi Hall. When Lin Ke saw Li Tian coming in, he didn't rush over as usual, but stood behind Princess Jiang very politely. Looking for an opportunity to wink at her, and pouted at her mother, Mrs. Cui sat under Princess Jiang, her face slightly haggard, she bowed slightly to Li Tian, ​​Jiang Shan also stood in the same manner, Li Tian was surprised I realized that it must be because of Xu Jie's matter, not only Lin Ke and Jiang Shan, but everyone who knows about it must strengthen the discipline of the little ladies.

Madam Wu of Linchuan Hou sat very close to Madam Wu. Linchuan Hou's son Jiang Zhengyuan and Fan Xiang's granddaughter Fan Xiuyu will get married next month. It is common sense to sit closer. Standing behind Madam Wu, the concubine fourth wife Jiang Biqing's eyes Right and wrong staring at the dazzling string of forbidden steps on Li Tian's body, ten steps away from them, Jiang Bihe, the married third daughter of Linchuan Hou's mansion, stared angrily at the fourth lady Jiang, who was looking at Li Tian. After seeing things in the world, the Hou Mansion lost all face!

Li Tian stepped forward to perform the ceremony for the younger generation. He only knelt halfway before being supported by Mrs. Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiao. How can you be so polite as a princess and a prince!"

"Why can't you be?" Li Tian stood up and said with a blessed smile: "Fan Xiang is the fifth master's husband, isn't he my husband, isn't it necessary to perform the junior ceremony when seeing the teacher's wife?"

"Princess Li Jun is really telling the truth." Ding Guogong's wife, Mrs. Qian, who was sitting at the bottom, said with a smile: "Fan Xiang belongs to the crown prince, and not all of the five princes are students of Fan Xiang! "

"When I selected the books, the Book of Songs that the fifth master chose, I asked Fan Xiang to study as a teacher. The fifth master also said this morning that he had studied the Book of Songs with Fan Xiang for these years, and the more he learned, the more he learned." Li Tian replied with a smile. Madam Qian's face changed slightly, she forgot about this.After Li Tian replied, he ignored her and turned to talk to Mrs. Wu and the others.

Just after saying a few words, the voices from outside the hall came in, and Mrs. Sun from the Prince's Mansion of Dongyang County came.Li Tian hurriedly got up with the crowd, feeling very surprised. Mrs. Sun seldom went out to be guests these years, and Mrs. Wu's birthday is not a full one. It seems that everyone has been a little restless recently.

Mrs. Wu welcomed Mrs. Wu to the entrance of Chengzhi Hall, and personally supported Mrs. Sun to sit at the head. Everyone was busy going forward to pay respects. Grab one and say hello.

Mrs. Sun had just taken her seat, and Mrs. Zhou from the Marquis of Chang'an also arrived, and everyone sat up in a chaotic manner. When everyone was seated again, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zhou sat on the first couch When she was talking, Ye Shiriniang stood with her hands down, but her eyes turned around and looked around. Her eyes fell on Li Tian's forbidden step, and she opened her eyes wide to express her admiration and praise for the forbidden step. Li Tian was at a loss. Ye Shiriniang glanced at Mrs. Sun, and quickly moved to Li Tian's side with small steps. While moving, she glanced at Mrs. Sun from time to time, and used her fingers to Pointing to Li Tian's stop, the expression on her face was still rich, Wu Jiuniang, who was not far from her, couldn't help it: "What do you want to say?"

"Sister Tian's forbidden step, it's so beautiful!" Ye Twelve Niang had already moved a little away from Mrs. Sun and the three of them, and she was almost holding back, so she hurriedly answered. Those who have no rules talked nonsense when the elders were talking, and glared at her angrily. Mrs. Wen Guogong's wife Qiao quickly smoothed things over and said: "I saw it too. That piece of jade is so green and watery that people can't take their eyes off it. The concubine has such a generous dowry, so she is willing to use this as a ban." Mrs. Qiao's words were a bit sour, all the fine jade from their house was pawned by Wen Guogong.

"This jade is good, but Madam will know it after looking at it, and it can also be used as a ban." Li Tian smiled wryly, took off the jade and handed it over: "It was given to me by an elder in the year I was born. My birthday gift has been locked in the box, and I only found it when the dowry was arranged." Mrs. Qiao took the ban, and Ye Twelve Niang and Wu Jiuniang rushed to go up, Ye Twelve Niang glanced, then glanced again, He simply reached out and took the forbidden step from Mrs. Qiao's hand, lifted it up and turned it around to see clearly, and exclaimed: "Is this a jade pendant? This is obviously in the shape of a bracelet? But how can there be such a small bracelet?"

"It's just a bracelet for a newborn baby." Li Tian smiled wryly. , take a look at this, Sister Tian said this is a bracelet, have you ever seen such a small bracelet? It’s so fun!" Mrs. Sun took the ban and looked at it from a distance. A trace of shock flashed across her face. Si was shocked and flashed so fast that she hardly noticed it, but she did not escape Mrs. Zhou's eyes.

Mrs. Sun took a closer look, smiled and handed it to Mrs. Wu and said, "It's really exquisite. Take a look too. I haven't seen such a fine jade and such a good workmanship for many years." Mrs. Wu took it and looked at it carefully. Very surprised: "It really looks like a bracelet, but it's just such a size, this is really..." Mrs. Wu didn't say anything later, which is too prodigal.

"This is for the baby." Mrs. Zhou took the forbidden step, looked at it carefully and said with a smile, "Is this Sister Tian's?"

"Yes." Li Tian stood up and replied with a smile: "Last year when I sorted out those old boxes when I was a child, they were sorted out from the box for the birth gift. They were given by an elder when I was born."

"Which elder is it?" According to a circle of people, Mrs. Qian from the Duke's Dingguo Mansion touched the jade fondly, and couldn't help asking: "How can I use such a good jade bracelet for the little milk baby? It's true!"

"It was a pity when I first saw it, but when I thought about it later, I was more and more moved by the love of the elders." Li Tian's voice trembled slightly, obviously very moved.

"That's not it." Mrs. Wu felt the same way: "It hurts so much, I'm willing to give up everything. It's good to see that child is anywhere, the easiest to spoil!" Mrs. Qiao, the daughter-in-law, quickly gave Mrs. Wu a sideways glance, and the mother-in-law took the opportunity to beat him again. She loves her grandson too much!
