The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 129

Little snow fluttered all night.

In the early morning, after Xiao Nan got up, he sat in front of the long table under the south window and was dressed by Yu Zhu.

Polygonatum opens a brand new sunflower-shaped three-tier carved silver dowry:

On the first floor is a flat round box with a lotus leaf-shaped silver lid, which is a circle smaller than the dowry box, and inside are three half-moon silver combs of different sizes;

On the second floor, there are four silver round boxes with lids of the same size, respectively containing face cream, mouth cream, rouge and hair oil;
On the third floor, there are some scattered small objects, such as some frilly silver saucers, three-inch small silver scissors, long-haired oil brushes, and ivory-pointed combs with separate ends...

"Princess, do you want to try the new rouge made by the maidservant today?"

Yuzhu opened the small round box of rouge, brought it in front of Xiao Nan, picked up a piece the size of a bean with a hairpin, and said while showing it: "This is the best rouge used by the servant and mixed with the Osmanthus dew sent by Wang Dalang. It is made, brighter in color than the usual rouge, and tastes better, with a faint scent of osmanthus, smell it!"

Xiao Nan glanced over his head and saw that the rouge cream was shiny and fresh in color, and at first glance it looked like jelly, he liked it very much, so he stretched out his index finger and pressed on the surface of the rouge, which was as moist as butter.

There is a little bright red on the white fingertips, like red plums in the snow, really beautiful.

Xiao Nan seemed to have remembered something, and greeted Yulan with a smile: "Bring the picture of red plums and Xiao Han that I asked you to embroider."

Yulan and Yuhan were smoking clothes around the smoker cage together. Hearing this, she hurriedly responded, and handed over the work in her hand to Bai Lu, who was in charge of her teaching, and turned around to go behind the screen.

Not long after, Yulan came out holding a white silk, and asked two young maids to stand under the south window, and unfolded the white silk, revealing a picture of Sumei drawn with lead.

The plum branches are dotted with nine flowers, each with nine petals.

The picture of dispelling cold has been drawn since the winter solstice, and now it is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and [-] spots of bright red have bloomed on the white silk.

It's just that these red dots are not filled in the shape of plum blossom petals, but a natural water droplet.

Because these red petals were not drawn with a brush or embroidered with thread, but——

Xiao Nan turned around, counted the petals on the picture of dispelling cold, and then pointed his index finger on the blank corner beside the flower center, and a piece of petals that were naturally formed was finished just like that.

"Princess, it's so beautiful, it's just..."

Yuhan hung the smoked clothes on the hangers, saw the bright red dots on the plain white silk cloth, and praised it with a smile.

"Just what?"

After Xiao Nan ordered today's plum petals, he nodded to the two little maids with white silk stretched out, and wanted to order them to put them away.

After thinking about it again, I felt that putting away the cold-elimination map was not in line with the artistic conception, so I told Yulan: "Go and talk to the steward of the outer courtyard, let them find a reliable craftsman, put this cold-elimination map in a wooden frame, and then Put it under the window."

"Yes."

Yulan agreed, thought for a while, and said: "Princess, didn't you say that you have to add a sum of money to the picture of dispelling cold every day? If you hand over the picture, I'm afraid it will delay your daily painting. Why don't you ask the maid to measure it?" I ordered the craftsmen to make a wooden frame according to the size, and after the wooden frame was finished, I would mount the picture on it."

Xiao Nan thought it was reasonable, and nodded quickly, "Well, I will do as you said."

The Princess Mansion enshrines many craftsmen with their own specialties. For such a small job, there is no need to go to a shop dedicated to mounting paintings.

Seeing that Yu Zhu was still waiting for his statement, Xiao Nan hurriedly turned back to the topic just now, and said: "The newly made rouge looks good, I will use it today, not too much, just dab a little on the cheeks. "

"Yes."

Yuzhu knew that Xiao Nan didn't like heavy makeup, so she picked up a little rouge with a hairpin and put it on her palm, blended it with her index finger and middle finger, and then lightly patted Xiao Nan's cheeks.

In the bronze sunflower mirror, Xiao Nan's fair and tender cheeks had a faint blush, making her look much more energetic.

Yuzan saw that Xiao Nan had time now, so she interjected and replied: "The servant girl is just wondering, most plum blossoms have five petals, why the princess's picture of dispelling cold has nine petals?"

Yuzan has always been very novel about the new gadgets that the princess has just made. She knows that there are ninety-nine stories about winter, but she is as elegant as the county owner. It's really the first time I've seen you.

Even Mr. Balang, who has always boasted of being a gentleman, saw this picture and only praised the princess for his elegance.

Xiao Nan smiled and said: "It's just for fun, hehe, why do plum blossoms draw nine petals, you will know next spring."

After applying rouge, lip balm, and black eyebrows...with the effort of a cup of tea, Yu Zhu helped Xiao Nan put on makeup.

Opening the jewelry box, he picked out a set of jewelry inlaid with rubies, and carefully put it on for Xiao Nan.

Looking at the smooth bronze mirror, Xiao Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The makeup that is popular nowadays is quite normal, not like the pink face with short eyebrows and cherry mouth that became popular more than ten years later, Xiao Nan would not want to pretend to be an island country geisha.

"By the way, is Ah Yuan awake?"

Xiao Nan stretched out his arms, allowing Yuhan to cover her with a scarlet lacquer robe with cotton and rolled rabbit fur.

"So that the Princess knows, the little lady is still asleep."

Fang came out from the outside room, bowed his knees to salute, and replied softly.

Xiao Nan nodded, "You take good care of me, I'll go and say hello to Aunt and then I'll come back."

Fang's words stopped.

"What's the matter? Just say what you have to say."

Xiao Nan took the stove, stopped at the door, and asked with a frown.

"That's right, Mother Zhou sent by the Cui family said that the little lady is getting bigger, and I'm afraid I can't take care of her alone. Yesterday, she had already reported to the gentleman, and the gentleman allowed her to serve the little lady with the slave."

Fang shi lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Xiao Nan frowned even tighter.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zheng specially selected a nurse Mrs. Zhou on the grounds that she felt sorry for her granddaughter, and ordered the housekeeper Cui Zhong to send it over solemnly.

It was Zhou's arrival that forced Xiao Nan to stop feeding his daughter in advance, and moved her from his side to Fang's outside the dormitory.

Xiao Nan couldn't like Zhou Shi when he thought that his daughter, who had been in his arms for more than 40 days, was forced to be sent to the nurse's arms.

Besides, the Zhou family is a member of the Zheng family, and Xiao Nan has not yet fully found out which master is standing behind her.

Little Lingxi is her darling, how can she safely hand over the child to someone who doesn't know the details? !

Therefore, Zhou Shi entered the Princess Mansion, and Xiao Nan treated her politely and left her in the wing room. She was not allowed to touch the child at all, and she was not allowed to breastfeed Lingxi.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhou could be so restless, and after only a few days, she found Cui Youbo.

Hmph, so what about finding Cui Ba?

This is the princess mansion, not the Cui family.Even if it is the Cui family, Xiao Nan will not compromise.

Xiao Nan can tolerate not being able to feed children, because it violates the current secular laws and is easily criticized by others.

But leaving someone of unknown origin by his child's side, Xiao Nan couldn't allow it.

She thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, I will tell the gentleman about this matter, you just take care of the little lady."

Fang still wanted to say something, but Xiao Nan said again, "Don't worry, Honghua and Hongjiao are outside to obey orders, if there is any situation, you can just say hello."

Fang breathed a sigh of relief, this was what she was waiting for.

In other words, the Fang family is the wet nurse picked by the eldest princess, and she naturally leans towards Xiao Nan's side in her heart.

It's just that no matter how good the family background is, Xiao Nan is now the Cui family's daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law rewarded her nurse, which is "a gift from the elders, dare not resign", and she can't refuse with just a word of filial piety.

For this reason, Fang was worried, she was just a servant, no matter how loyal she was to Xiao Nan, she could not do anything arrogant.

It's all right now, Xiao Nan has sent a message, and also left behind a female guard who knows kung fu, finally Fang is not afraid of Zhou's petty tricks.

With this episode, Xiao Nan's good mood disappeared in an instant. He went to the outside room, put on clogs, and the group walked out of the main room slowly.

"Princess, is this okay? After all, she is sent by the Da Furen, representing the face of the Da Furen."

Yuzan followed Xiao Nan half a step away, reminding in a low voice, worried that the master would get angry and knock Zhou's mother out of the princess mansion.

If it really develops to that point, the relationship between the princess and Zheng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be completely broken.

Xiao Nan looked ahead and moved his steps lightly. The wooden clogs stepped on the smooth bluestone floor, making a slight "tapping" sound, accompanied by her cold voice, which floated into Yuhan's ears: "So what? She made the first step. One, you can’t blame me for being fifteen. If you really care about consonance, why did you send someone here when we were about to go back? And also sent the nurse who served Cui Lingping?”

What do you mean?
Does it mean that her consonance is not as good as that bastard Cui Lingping, and she can only pick up the rest of him?
Or do you want to embarrass their mother and daughter?

Get someone to remind her to go back as soon as possible? !

Xiao Nan sneered endlessly in her heart, she knew that it must be the fact that Cui Ba lived in the Princess Mansion touched a certain nerve of Zheng Shi, lest her son be snatched away by other women.

Even if this woman is the legitimate wife of his son, it won't work.

As for Lingxi, Xiao Nan expected that Zheng Shi would not be cruel enough to hurt his granddaughter, but she could do it by holding her granddaughter in her hands to make things difficult for Xiao Nan.

Mrs. Zhou was just a temptation, Xiao Nan felt that after they returned to Cui's house, Mrs. Zheng still had a lot of bad tricks to deal with her.

That's fine, let her express her opinion, lest Mrs. Zheng forget who she is Xiao Nan.

Yuzan could hear the sternness and anger in Xiao Nan's tone, and knew that the princess was really angry, so she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she could only follow her silently.

Arriving at the main hall where the eldest princess lives, several young maids in the courtyard are holding white porcelain urns and Zihao pens, carefully collecting the falling snow from the plum branches.

"The servant girl please greet the princess."

The little girls hurriedly saluted and said hello.

"Well, get up," Xiao Nan paused, and asked the leading maid: "Have Aye and Aniang gotten up?"

The servant girl bowed her knees again and said, "The words to return to the princess have already started, and Princess Jinyang is also here."

What?Jinyang is here?So early?

Xiao Nan raised his eyes to look at the sky that had just been brightened, and calculated the time, it has not been long since the workshop opened, what is the urgent matter?
Thinking in his heart, Xiao Nan stepped up the steps and changed his clogs under the porch.

At this time, there were soft sobs and gentle comforting sounds in the room——

"Si, it doesn't matter if you don't marry such a person..."
