wedding dress

Chapter 126
Strictly speaking, Xiaodong knew quite a few girls.It's just that Xiaodong will gradually stop interacting with anyone who reveals his intention to be her sister-in-law prematurely.I can't tell what kind of feeling it was—in short, watching the people in front of me talking and laughing is very kind, maybe this kind of communication is not considered to be used, but Xiaodong just feels uncomfortable.

Xiaodong came early in the morning and ran to Zhao Lu's courtyard.

When Zhao Lu was not at home, Xiaodong would come over from time to time to look after the yard, order the maids to do needlework, and clean the house.I have something to eat and use, and I don't want to lose their share, but I can't stay here for long.A house without an owner will not be glamorous no matter how you clean it up. It is deserted and quiet, and even the flowers in the yard are not energetic.

But once there is a master, it will be completely different.The room is the same as before, but there are many more movements, the maids walking around doing things, the sound of footsteps, the sound of talking, the sound of pouring water...

The dull and silent room suddenly came alive.

Xiaodong walked in the door with a smile, and the maid greeted her with a smile, everyone's faces were beaming with joy.When the owner of the house comes back, everyone is motivated and ready to go—cough, Xiaodong will inevitably think about it again, so he hastened to stop this thought.

Anyway, when she sees a young woman now, she instinctively wants to compare her to the position of "sister-in-law candidate", which is almost a conditioned reflex.

"Brother is up?"

"My son got up early in the morning, went back to practice swords, and just came back, I'm about to change my clothes."

Zhao Lu in the room heard it and said, "Sister, come in."

Zhao Lu has already tidied up, wearing an indigo robe, a brocade belt around his waist, and his hair neatly tied up.The maids Luzhi and Xiaodong next to him smiled and said, "The princess doesn't know, but it's useless for the son to change his clothes and comb his hair, so I handed him back the comb."

Zhao Lu smiled: "You can't rely on others for everything outside, you have to learn to do it yourself, and you will get used to it."

Sure enough, going out for a trip made a big difference.

Xiaodong felt proud and distressed at the same time——Zhao Lu's ten fingers never touched the spring water when he was at home, but when he went out, there were a bunch of calluses on his hands, and he didn't know how they fell down.

Although men cannot be raised like flowers in a greenhouse, Wang An was cruel enough to throw his son to such a remote barren land to endure the wind and rain.

The two went to invite Ann to King An, and then entered the palace together. Xiaodong went straight to Changchun Palace, and Prince An and his son did not go with her.

The Empress Dowager Shengci said with a smile: "I heard that your brother is back?"

"The empress dowager is very well informed, my brother will come to greet you later."

"The emperor told me last night." Empress Dowager Shengci touched Xiaodong's face: "Your eyes are a little swollen, you must have cried yesterday, right?"

"Well, I didn't cry much..." Xiaodong rubbed his eyelids: "Is it so obvious?" Probably not only because of crying, but also because he didn't sleep well last night.

The picker handed the tea to the side, and took a closer look: "It's not too obvious, it's the empress dowager who sees it carefully. How about I use the powder to cover the princess?"

"No need." Xiaodong quickly waved his hands: "I don't like incense powder."

Caigu smiled: "Why don't you say that the princess's temper is exactly the same as that of the queen mother, and the queen mother doesn't like those fragrant and smelly makeup and hair oils, she just likes the ones that are plain and have no fragrance."

Speaking of makeup, Xiaodong also heard that someone called the clear water river that flows out of the palace the Rouge River. It is said that because the women in the palace poured water into the river for dressing and washing their faces, the river water was dyed with rouge and changed color. It is said that someone used the red mud deposited by the river water to make rouge, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

Xiaodong and the Empress Dowager Shengci described Zhao Lu: "It hasn't changed much, he is taller and stronger. I went to see him this morning, and the maid said that my brother dressed and combed his hair by himself."

The Empress Dowager Shengci nodded her head and said softly: "It's a good day at home, everything is difficult when you go out. But he will support the lintel in the future, so it will be good for him to go out and experience a little bit."

Of course Xiaodong also understood.But it is clear to understand, but it is still inevitable to worry and worry.

Fortunately, Zhao Lu is back now.

The Empress Dowager Shengci asked someone to bring some dim sum, Xiaodong picked out a piece of cotton cake and entrusted it to the Empress Dowager Shengci, and picked out a piece of sesame cake herself.Sesame crisps are delicious, but they always fall off. Xiaodong eats them with his hands like a child.Caigu watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing.The Empress Dowager Shengci said: "Look at her, she is so grown up, she is still the same as when she was a child."

"No matter how old the princess is, she will always be your little granddaughter in front of you."

Xiaodong smiled and said, "I like to hear sister Cai's words."

After more than half an hour, Zhao Lu came, and the palace servants laid down the cushions, and he respectfully kowtowed three times. The Empress Dowager Shengci said, "Come closer and let me have a look."

Zhao Lu got up and walked up to him as he said.

The Empress Dowager Shengci looked at it carefully from head to toe, nodded and said, "It's solid, and it looks like a very useful adult."

Zhao Lu was generous, he said a few words about what he saw on the road and Ye An's scenery, and someone brought a box, saying that it was a little local product, to honor the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Shengci opened it to look, inside was a small screen, small and exquisite, the frame was carved from wood, but the patterns on the screen were made of straw.The patterns on the four screens are also different, and the handwork is extremely exquisite.

"This kind of grass grows by the Ye'an River. It is very thin and tough, and it turns yellow when the frost falls. The local people use it to weave various things, such as bamboo hats, baskets, and straw sandals. They are light and strong."

Empress Dowager Shengci liked it very much: "It's really fresh and interesting, let's put it on the shelf."

They came out of Changchun Palace, and when they were about to leave the palace gate, they met the fifth princess.She hurried over with someone, and the two sides happened to be facing each other.

This was the first time Xiaodong saw her face after she fell ill.

The three greeted each other.As soon as Xiaodong looked up, he saw her face.Although the fat is evenly powdered, but faint red marks can still be seen all over the face.After seeing Xiaodong at first glance, he didn't dare to look any further.

Asked: "Where is Fifth Sister going?"

The fifth princess forced a smile on her face: "I'm going to the concubine mother. Sister Xiaodong and the eldest son are from Changchun Palace? Come and sit with me?"

Xiaodong hurriedly said: "No, we'll go back to the mansion right away, my brother just returned to Beijing, and there are still many things to do."

After the fifth princess and Xiaodong said those words that time, the two didn't talk to each other very much, but just met for a few words of entertainment.Xiaodong also sympathizes with the five princesses, from a famous beauty to what she is now—but sympathy belongs to sympathy, Xiaodong doesn't want to get close to her.A spirit like the fifth princess is more difficult to deal with than the reckless temper of the sixth princess.

Xiaodong got into the car, and Zhao Lu knocked on the car window outside: "Sister, do you want to go home directly, or go for a stroll in the city?"

Xiaodong thought for a while: "Let's go to the store opened by Qin Lie. They all say that this treasure trove is good, but I haven't entered it yet."

Zhao Lu smiled and said, "Okay. It just so happens that I have something to look for him too."

The carriage passed through Yongxingfang and then turned southward, but stopped at the intersection. There were a lot of people surrounded by noisy people for some reason, and the road was blocked.

Xiaodong poked his head and looked outside, there were many people around, and he could only see the blue roof cloth of the car among the crowd.After waiting for a while, Zhao Lu got off his horse and came over and said, "A car hit someone in front and they were making noise."

Xiaodong asked: "Who hit someone? Who hit someone?"

"I don't know, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Brother, be careful... If we can't make it through, let's take a detour."

"know."

Fortunately, the matter was resolved in a short while, and the car continued to move forward.

"Just now I went over to see, and it turned out that it wasn't that I hit someone, it was an old man who suddenly fainted when he walked in front of another car. Hit someone. The owner of the car sent the old man to the hospital behind."

Xiaodong nodded: "The owner of the car was very kind, but he almost made people bully him. If he couldn't argue clearly, he would be wronged."

Zhao Lu said: "Isn't it? Others just watch the fun, who is right and wrong has nothing to do with them?" He pointed to the front: "It's almost there, sister, the one with the tallest building is more conspicuous than other houses. "

When the car arrived at the place, Zhao Lu helped Xiaodong get out of the car, and raised his head. On the signboard, the words "Four Seas Jubao" were written like flying dragons and phoenixes.

Qin Lie had already received the news and came out from inside to greet him.

Zhao Lu clasped his fists with a smile: "Brother Qin."

"Brother Zhao Xian."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and when Xiaodong didn't know it, it seemed that the friendship between them had grown by leaps and bounds, which seemed to be a good brother.

Ordinarily, in terms of blood origin, Shen Jing is Zhao Lu's cousin, and Qin Lie is a distant relative who is almost far away, but there is a congeniality between people.Obviously, even Qin Lie and Zhao Lu belonged to the category with similar smells.

"Come, come, come in and talk." Qin Lie smiled at Xiaodong, his face blooming like a flower: "Sister Xiaodong is coming here for the first time, right? If you see something, don't hesitate to charge it to my account."

"Okay, that's what you said."

Qin Lie intentionally made a embarrassed expression: "Hey, I just ask my sister to be merciful, don't look down on that too expensive, and let me lose my money. I won't be able to eat this month, so I have to go to the palace to eat."

Xiaodong glanced at him: "Which month didn't you spend a lot of meals at our house? Could it be that you lost money every month?"

It was the first time for Xiaodong to look at it, and it was really fresh everywhere.The name of Jubao of the Four Seas is magnificent, and the inside is really magnificent.Xiaodong knows that he has such a shop, but knowing and seeing are two different things.He fought such a situation with bare feet and empty fists alone, which can be regarded as young and promising.

Qin Lie led them around the lobby on the first floor: "Go up, it's quiet up there, and there are few people there. I sent someone to buy some snacks at Yuanlongfang next door. I heard that there was a new lotus seed cake, and people rushed to buy it every day. "

Xiaodong hurriedly added: "I want mung bean pancakes."

"understood."

Qin Lie gave an order and led them upstairs.Xiaodong looked out of the window, and a carriage with a green cloth hood stopped outside the door.

This car looks a bit familiar——

Ah, isn't it the one that was blocked at the intersection just now?
