wedding dress

Chapter 97 Shangyuan
Neither of them had ever met Seventh Princess's mother. As for her appearance--since she was once favored and gave birth to a daughter, it must be good.

The Seventh Princess is usually blank, but looks just delicate.This smile immediately revealed bright eyes and bright teeth, she was the embryo of a stunning beauty.

Zhao Zhi teased Xiaodong, and said in a low voice: "Hey, the new generation is better than the old ones. The fifth princess looks pretty good, and the seventh princess will grow up to be great. Alas, against the backdrop of our group of equal , where can I tuck it?"

In fact, Yao Jinfeng is the most beautiful and beautiful woman Xiaodong has ever seen, but now no one mentions her, not even someone like Zhao Zhi who loves to talk, be lively and has no plans.

The fifth princess - now I can only say that she used to look pretty good.

It is said that her illness has been cured, but she still does not come out to see people. Everyone said that herpes must have left scars on her face, so she did not come out to see people.Concubine Ming didn't come out either. I don't know if the mother and daughter are staying together to comfort each other at this time. The daughter is disfigured and the mother is out of favor. Others are celebrating the New Year's reunion. The mother and daughter may only hold hands and look at each other with tears in their eyes.

Mrs. Ming in Xiaodong's house has become more and more depressed recently. She met her twice in the garden before, but she hasn't seen her in the past two months. It is said that she has never left the house.

The winter is long, and it is very cold around the end of the year, and the dripping water turns into ice, but Xiaodong likes this season the most.At this moment, Wang An and Zhao Lu are both staying at home, and everyone is busy preparing for the New Year together. Wang An personally writes blessings and couplets for her, and Xiaodong also learns to cut window grilles. They all cut a lot, except for Yufang Pavilion, the yards of King An and Zhao Lu were also pasted to the brim, booming.She can cut all kinds of shapes, better than the master who taught her.She can cut things with looks, but she can also draw and cut things without looks. The scissors rattle the red paper, the room is warm, and the smoke makes her face slightly hot.

Shen Jing wasn't at Prince An's Mansion to celebrate the new year, but Qin Lie came. With one more person, the excitement would be doubled.

Xiaodong followed them to set off firecrackers and light fireworks.There is a kind of small firework called a gopher, which is as big as a knuckle. When it is lit, sparks burst out and run around the ground. Xiaodong is always afraid of burning her skirt. When Zhao Lu touches it, Xiaodong rushes to hide on the steps. It made Zhao Lu laugh out loud.

You can also make lanterns by yourself. Qin Lie's hands are really skillful. He cut the bamboo tube into paper-thin, engraved on it with flowers blooming, wealth, and plum blossoms. Put a piece of wax inside, light it and put it in the room. The pattern on the bamboo cover is reflected on the wall, vaguely like a dream.

Xiaodong smiled and said, "Cousin has this skill, even if he doesn't do business in the future, he can still sell lanterns."

Qin Lie also smiled: "When I was young, if my mother wanted to go far away or was too busy to take care of me, I would go to the neighbor's house to find food and live with the carpenter. I learned it by stealing from my teacher."

Xiaodong was taken aback: "How old were you then?"

Qin Lie made a comparison: "It's as tall as this table."

Then Qin Lie's mother was a bit too indulgent, and she was not afraid of the child being taken away.

Listening to Wang An's tone, Qin Lie is also a single-parent family, with only his mother and no father. I don't know if the father is dead or gone. Qin Lie's mother is both a father and a mother. It is no wonder that Qin Lie can't take care of the stove because he wants to make money. Lie went to the neighbor's house to find food.

Xiaodong's eyes were probably full of sympathy and pity, Qin Lie said: "It's okay, when I grew up, I was able to cook by myself, and then I went to shop and shop with my mother."

His hands were still busy, and the carving knife seemed to be alive in his hand, so Xiaodong simply sat down beside him: "Then how did you come to the capital?"

"The prince wrote a letter, and my mother also wants me to read more books and see more of the world."

"Then, do you like the capital city or your hometown?"

Qin Lie stopped his hands and thought for a while: "I like the capital."

"Huh?" Xiaodong was very surprised: "Why?"

She herself is a very family-loving person. No matter how good other places are, she feels that her hometown is not as good.Qin Lie's answer was completely different from what she expected.

"why?"

Qin Lie just smiled and didn't speak.

The more he didn't talk, the more curious Xiaodong became, and kept asking. Finally, Qin Lie stuffed the carved pen container into her hand, patted the broken bamboo pieces on her body, and walked away.

Xiaodong stared blankly for a while holding the pen holder, on which was engraved a chubby chick pecking at rice.

Uh, this little chicken reminded Xiaodong of Qin Lie who was ill that year and brought a little chicken to visit him. It was also fat and round.

When I think about it, it's still the same as yesterday, the chick's body is soft and warm, struggling slightly in the palm of my hand - it feels like it's holding someone's heart.

Xiaodong suddenly thought, Qin Lie said that he likes the capital - does he have a sweetheart?And that person is in the capital?

Ah, so that makes sense.

So Qin Lie has always been straightforward, but just now he refused to say why he prefers the capital city.

Uh, who would he like?

Xiaodong has been thinking about this for a few days, and can't figure out what kind of girl Qin Lie would like.

Qin Lie made a bunch of small things for her these days, among them is an exquisite octagonal lamp, the bamboo frame is the bone, and the glass is inlaid on it, it is brilliant and crystal clear when lit, it is so beautiful.Xiaodong cherished it only for a short while, then blew out the candle and put the lamp away. Qin Lie asked, "Why didn't you light it?" Before Xiaodong could answer, he guessed, "I want to keep it." What time is it in Shangyuan?"

"No..." Xiaodong said, "I'm afraid it might break...keep it for later and take it easy."

"It's not that fragile. Besides, if it breaks, I'll do it again."

Who knows if we will be together next year or the year after?
Maybe Qin Lie will get married next year, and he won't stay in Prince An's mansion for the new year like now.

Maybe he will leave the capital in less than a year, and I don't know when to see him again. After all, he is not from the capital, and his home is in Suizhou.

Xiaodong felt an indescribable loss in her heart.No wonder the ancients had a poem saying that it is difficult to say goodbye when you meet each other.

But of course Xiaodong won't spoil the atmosphere by speaking out what's on his mind.

Now that everyone can get together, let's live happily.When we are separated in the future, these memories can still be recalled.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Zhi came to Wang An's Mansion early to look for her, holding a crossword lantern in her hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, come and guess, I will give you a lot of rewards if you guess correctly."

Xiaodong glanced at it, and found that the crossword puzzle on it was written by Zhao Zhi himself.

"Guess what reward?"

"Eh? Guess first, then talk about it."

Xiaodong pursed her lips deliberately and shook her head: "If you only give one or two pieces of candy, then I don't need to bother."

Zhao Zhi glared at her: "Am I that stingy?" She lit up her purse, and it was filled with gold and silver beads and small golden beans: "I brought real money here."

Xiaodong looked reluctant: "Okay, then I'll take a guess."

But seeing Zhao Zhi's complacent and impatient look, she must have thought of extremely difficult lantern riddles and wrote them on it, deliberately to make things difficult for others.

The first one is an anagram, "A Thousand Miles of Jiangling Returned in One Day".
