Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 196 Wedding Dress
After making up her mind, Xie Yanniang went directly to the study to find Ruan Jingxin, and she had to be careful not to be discovered by Madam Zhang.

Pang Yudi, who was guarding the door, couldn't help laughing when he saw her tiptoeing.Keep your hands and feet light like a cat, can others not see it?

Xie Yanniang also laughed when she thought of her self-deception.

The white wolf lying on the threshold pricked up his ears, raised his eyes and saw her, stood up cheerfully and rushed towards her.

Xie Yanniang hugged it helplessly and rubbed it. She was really deceiving herself, and she was too scruples about Nanny Zhang.

The white wolf wagged its tail and kept digging into her arms.Thinking that Ruan Jingxin didn't let it leave the study recently and couldn't sleep with the delicious Xie Yanniang, it couldn't help drooping its head, and almost cried to Xie Yanniang.

Xie Yanniang was itchy all over because of it, and her skirt was torn a little, so she got up quickly to tidy up.

The white wolf circled around her feet, wagging its tail vigorously. In Pang Yudi's eyes, it didn't look like a mighty white wolf, but rather a puppy guarding the door. He couldn't bear to look directly at him and stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.

Ruan Jingxin glanced at the white wolf, and it stopped immediately, obediently squatting on the edge of the threshold, motionless, for fear of being chased out by him.

Seeing that it finally behaved, Xie Yanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and directly explained the reason for her visit.

Ruan Jingxin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyes under the mask revealed a soft light: "If the girl doesn't mind, I have a wedding dress here."

She froze for a moment and looked over in surprise.

Could it be that the wedding dress in the Regent's hand was prepared for his sweetheart, but it's a pity that his sweetheart didn't wear it?
Xie Yanniang couldn't help thinking wildly, she really didn't expect that Ruan Jingxin would have a woman's wedding dress here.

He soon married a bright red wedding dress and put it on the table.

Xie Yanniang's eyes were a little amazed, this wedding dress was embroidered extremely well, the workmanship was exquisite, it was a first-class embroidery workmanship at first glance, the most important thing was that it was done with great care, and the corners and corners were perfectly fitted.

She seemed to be able to see a gentle and beautiful girl turning on the lamp every night, embroidering this wedding dress non-stop, with anticipation and shyness in her eyes.

"This wedding dress is very good, and my lord cherishes it so much. It's so precious that a commoner girl dare not accept it." Xie Yanniang sighed. It was embarrassing and strange for her to wear the wedding dress embroidered by other girls.

In addition, Ruan Jingxin cherishes it so much, the material of the wedding dress looks like it was made a few years ago, but it is a pity that it is well maintained, which shows how much he likes this wedding dress.

Seizing someone's love is not what Xie Yanniang wants to see, she bowed her head and declined.

Ruan Jingxin seemed to see what she was thinking, stretched out his hand to put on the wedding dress, and said softly: "This is embroidered by my mother, if she knows that the girl is wearing it, she must be very happy."

Xie Yanniang had never heard him mention his family members, it was said outside that the regent had no father or mother, this was the only way to get into the late emperor's eyes, he felt pity for him, and he didn't have to worry about the burden of the family.

Even if he has a high position and authority, Ruan Jingxin is alone.

Last time I mentioned Marquis Zhongyi's wife, I don't know how complicated Ruan Jingxin's life experience is.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Mother embroidered the wedding dress back then. She embroidered every stitch and thread by herself, but unfortunately she didn't have a chance to wear it in the end. Now it's been kept at the bottom of the box, it's a waste. Just right, It can also be regarded as a meeting gift from the mother to the future daughter-in-law."

Xie Yanniang's cheeks were reddened by the words, it made sense for her, an unmarried daughter-in-law, to accept the wedding dress from her mother-in-law.It's just that Ruan Jingxin took it for granted, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Ruan Jingxin gave her the wedding gown without saying a word, Xie Yanniang thought that the wedding was imminent, it was impossible for her to rush out a wedding gown no matter what.Even if they get kicked out, the crude work won't make it to the stage, so it's better to accept his kindness.

"Thank you, my lord. If possible, I will definitely place two sticks of incense in front of the old lady's tomb in the future."

Hearing this, the smile on his lips faded a bit: "Mother will be happy to see you."

Seeing that Ruan Jingxin pursed her lips, as if she didn't want to continue the conversation, Xie Yanniang wisely didn't mention Mrs. Li again.

Immediately, the room fell silent, Xie Yanniang was uneasy.

Fortunately, Xue Ling reported from outside the door, breaking the silence of the room: "My lord, girl, there are people sent by the queen mother outside the house, saying they are adding makeup to the girl."

Xie Yanniang was startled, and subconsciously looked at Ruan Jingxin, only to see him nodding his head slightly: "It's not convenient for me to see you, please take care of me."

"Yes, my lord." She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the empress dowager came to add makeup at this time, probably because Zhang Nanny never sent a message back, so she sent someone to see if Zhang Nanny had been completely regent Wang bought it.

The one sent was Nanny Qi, Xie Yanniang welcomed her into the flower hall with a smile, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager, the daughters of the people are very grateful."

Nanny Qi also smiled and said, "The Prince Regent got married, and the Empress Dowager just added some kindness."

Her gaze passed behind Xie Yanniang vaguely, Xie Yanniang understood, and said to Xue Ling: "Please come here, Madam Zhang, I am afraid that Madam will be tired, so I let her go back to rest early."

Nanny Qi was a little surprised. Seeing Nanny Zhang coming in, she was completely changed in gold and silver, which showed that the Prince Regent treated her favorably, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Xie Yanniang was also savvy, she accidentally shook the teacup, the tea splashed onto her sleeves, she frowned and got up and said: "Two nuns sit down first, let me go in and change."

She winked, and Xue Ling followed her, leaving only Xue Yan waiting outside the door.

Seeing that there was no one around, Nanny Qi didn't dare to talk nonsense, lest the walls have ears, but she just gave Zhang Nanny a disapproving look: "Mommy is so happy in Zhuangzi, I'm afraid she doesn't want to go back to the palace."

Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "What are you talking about? The girl has an idea, so you don't need to be around to mention it."

The implication is that the regent did not want her to stay by Xie Yanniang's side.

Nanny Qi had expected it a long time ago. No one would like to let outsiders hang around. She glanced outside and saw a group of childish snow geese. The master is a little unhappy."

Nanny Zhang smiled wryly: "My courtyard is in the west corner, and it takes half an hour to walk from the courtyard to the gate, not to mention that the girl loves me and has appointed six servant girls to serve me by my side."

No matter where she goes, there will always be at least two servant girls by her side. How can she make small gestures in private to pass on news?
Nanny Qi suddenly realized that the Prince Regent had such strict defenses, which showed that he was very vigilant towards the royal family.

She was thinking about how to report to the Empress Dowager when she went back, and she heard Madam Zhang say, "It's not that the girl is guarding against me, but that the lord doesn't like to use servant girls. In the Zhuangzi, except for the two elders around the girl, Maid girl, the others are all three-year-old and five-year-old men, who come out and walk around indiscriminately, if they run into each other, they will always feel a little uncomfortable."

Nanny Qi has also heard that the regent is not close to women. From the porter to the cook in the Zhuangzi, there are wounded soldiers or their relatives. They are all men. Man, it's really embarrassing.

She sighed, as long as you don't go against the empress dowager and the emperor, everything else is fine.

He whispered a few more words, telling Nanny Zhang not to forget to do business, and when Xie Yanniang came out after changing her clothes, Nanny Qi had already got up and said goodbye: "The time for this old slave to come out is not short. makeup, this old slave has to report back to the Empress Dowager.”

Xie Yanniang wished that she would go back quickly, pretended to hold back a few words, and then personally sent Nanny Qi to the second gate.

This kind of respect made Nanny Qi stick to her heart. Thinking of Nanny Zhang's words, she felt a little satisfied with the future princess of the Prince Regent.

In addition, before leaving, the big maid beside Xie Yanniang helped her into the carriage, and secretly stuffed a purse into her sleeve.

Nanny Qi looked back and opened it, she was even more satisfied, and said a few nice words in front of the empress dowager.

As for Nanny Zhang, she used to compete with herself in the palace, so she simply blamed Nanny Zhang for all her faults, and only said that she was as happy as a princess in Zhuangzi, wearing gold and silver, how could she remember? Send a message to the palace?

The empress dowager touched the beads with a calm expression on her face, but Nanny Qi paused when she saw her fingers pinching the beads, and knew that the eye drops were the right ones. There is no place for her.

Thinking of Zhang Mama, who is such a mindless person, Qi Nanny scrambled to go to Xie Yanniang's side, abruptly snatching this job from her, and now she finally vented her anger.

Xie Yanniang hesitated for a long time, but finally put on the wedding dress.

Mrs. Li's stature is about the same as hers, and there is almost no need to change it after wearing it.

Xue Ling stared at her blankly, remained motionless for a long time, without blinking her eyes, making Xie Yanniang laugh: "Why, seeing the immortals descending from the earth, you are going to be unable to walk?"

She also joked, teasing Xue Ling, who knows that this silly girl really nodded: "The girl is so beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to say she is a fairy."

Xie Yanniang didn't take it seriously either, she said with a smile: "Xue Ling's small mouth is really as if she has been smeared with honey, she is getting better at talking."

Xue Ling wanted to say more, but she waved her hand and said, "I still have to change a few places, come and write it down."

Hearing this, she had no choice but to go forward and help write down a few minor changes, and swallowed the words that had come to her lips.

Xie Yanniang used a needle and thread to modify the widened position bit by bit, carefully so as not to damage the wedding dress, and it would make her eyes tear up, making it very uncomfortable to rub her eyes.

Xue Ling persuaded her: "Miss, take a break, it can't be done overnight, first have some snacks and take a nap?"

"No, why is she so delicate." Xie Yanniang thought that she didn't have new clothes before, and she didn't want to be compared to Xie Ruitong, so she did it herself, but she was self-taught. Although she couldn't be taught by others, she could barely get by, but she sewed and mended But powerful, almost no traces can be seen.

Xue Ling was stunned at the sight, it is impossible to have this kind of kung fu after a few years of practice.

She thought that the eldest girl had mentioned that the third girl lived in poverty in the southern town, so when she first came to the house, she was dressed neatly, but they were all half-new and not old, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
