Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 119
In addition to two pieces of xiangropa, there is also a gold hairpin and two boxes of rouge.

Seeing the rouge, Xi'er was startled and said, "This is the rouge from the Beauty Pavilion, they actually gave such an expensive rouge to the girl."

Ming concubine said, "Is it very expensive?"

Xi'er nodded, "I heard that the cheapest rouge in Beauty Pavilion costs 50 taels a box."

That's quite expensive. Thinking about her monthly fee, it's only 20 taels a month, and it takes two and a half months to buy a box. The monthly money of the aunt in the mansion is estimated to be around ten taels. It will take... a few years to get back the money, so A generous aunt is really rare.

However, Ming concubine is quite curious about ancient luxury goods. When she opened it, she saw peach-like rouge, which was crystal clear and had a pleasant fragrance.

But after a few sniffs, her brows frowned, and Xi'er said when she saw her, "Girl, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the rouge?"

Ming concubine put down the rouge, picked up another box of rouge, sniffed it, and said, "It's okay, accepting such an expensive gift from someone, help me think about how to return it."

She and Ziyue and Qingshuang are not relatives, so they cannot accept such an expensive gift from others, and the two of them will not stay in the Dingbei Hou Mansion for long. There are also a few golden peanuts in the porcelain vase, let Xi'er and Haitang send Ting Yuxuan there.

When the two servant girls came back, Ming concubine had already finished dinner, Xue Yan said, "Why did you come back so late?"

Xi'er's eyes were shining brightly, and she beamed brightly, "Haitang and I forgot the time when we watched them dance. Their dancing posture is so beautiful that even the third girl is far behind them."

Mingyu has never seen Wei Mingrou dance before, so I don't know how her dancing is, but Xi'er can use several Tai characters in a row, which shows that Ziyue and Qingshuang's dancing skills are amazing, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her.

Ming concubine didn't take this matter to heart, so she should do what she should do, but someone was concerned about this matter.

The next day, Ming concubine went to Changhui courtyard to greet the old lady. Wei Mingyi and Xie Wanhua held the old lady's arm, shaking and panicking, "Grandmother, you are the best, just promise us." .”

Concubine Ming went a little late, and didn't know what they were begging the old lady for, so she couldn't help but smiled curiously, and asked, "What are fifth sister and cousin begging grandma for?"

The old lady had a headache and said, "They want to learn how to dance with the two beauties that the emperor gave your father."

Wei Mingyi continued to act coquettishly, "Grandmother, you just agree, they live in Tingyuxuan, not in the east courtyard, you haven't seen their dancing posture, if you saw them, you would be astonished, if I can learn One or two, I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

Wei Mingyi begged bitterly, and the fourth wife also hoped that her daughter could learn a skill, and attend the banquet when she turned around, and she would become a blockbuster and amaze everyone. The two girls, Shuang, can present dances to the emperor. Mingyi and them learn to dance, which is not a self-declination. Besides, Mingyi has no talent at all. They learn it."

In fact, it's nothing to learn to dance from my aunt, and outsiders won't know about it. Besides, Ziyue and Qingshuang are not ordinary aunts, but they are concubines of Lord Hou, so it's inconvenient for them to come and go.

The fourth wife said, the third wife agreed, and Wei Mingyi and the others took turns acting like a spoiled child, so the old lady nodded, "It's only two months, so it counts as much as you learn."

Wei Mingyi grinned happily from ear to ear, and said, "Grandmother, let's go to listen to Yuxuan and learn how to dance."

They left on the front foot, and the second wife came in on the back foot. The fourth wife smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law came so late, I thought you went to Xuanpinghou's mansion."

The smile on the second wife's face stiffened by two points, and she said, "I woke up in the morning, feeling a little dizzy, so I won't go to Xuanpinghou's mansion today, I'll go tomorrow."

Ming concubine looked at the second wife, her face was ruddy, and her body was very good. She was not dizzy, but she didn't want to go at all. She was dragged to Xuanping Hou's mansion to send the bride price. Can someone carry it back as it is?
If he really did this, it would be an antagonism, for the sake of Wei Minghui, he would have a rift with Xuan Pinghou, something the old lady would not do.

The second wife said so, but the old lady didn't say anything, Su Shi said, "Second brother and sister are not feeling well, just let the servant girl run away."

The second wife sat down, pretending to be weak, and said, "How can this be done? Discussing relatives is a big deal. Xuanping Hou Shizi had an accident yesterday, so I asked the servant girl to come to the door and let Na Caili deliver it later. Isn't this a slap in the face?" ?”

Su smiled and said, "Then let me run for you."

Su's face is gentle and her tone is pure, but the second wife is stunned, she can't go, the maid can't, Su is the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei, this status is enough, this time it shouldn't be possible to shirk it.

The second wife shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is busy with Ming-yin's marriage, so I don't want to bother you, but I'll go tomorrow, it's okay if it's a day later..."

Before he finished speaking, a servant girl ran in and said anxiously, "Old lady, it's bad! The second master was beaten!"

The old lady's face changed, and the second lady stood up in shock, "Who dares to hit our master?!"

Not to mention them, even the Su family was surprised. Who in the whole capital does not know that Dingbei Hou is a person trusted by the emperor, and the second master is the younger brother of the Hou Ye's direct relative. Second Master...

The servant girl hurriedly replied, "It was Mr. Chen, the loyal general who beat him."

The second wife trembled with anger, "It's just that she didn't marry Minghui to Young Master Chen, and she beat someone. Is there any law under the emperor's feet? It's a good thing that he didn't agree to this marriage, otherwise Minghui would marry her." , can you still have a good life?!"

The second wife was furious and scolded bitterly.

Outside, Marquis Dingbei walked in and said, "Second brother and sister be careful!"

The second wife's face was purple, she looked at Dingbeihou and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

The old lady felt sorry for her son, General Chen was a martial artist, his fists were neither light nor heavy, and the second master, a civil servant, didn't know how he was beaten, so she just said, "We can't get married, and we can't make enemies either."

Dingbeihou sat down and said, "Today I am General Chen, and I will beat my second brother hard to vent my anger."

The younger brother was beaten, but the eldest brother turned to outsiders, the old lady knew that the second master had really done something wrong, she frowned tightly, and asked, "What happened?"

Marquis Dingbei didn't want to mention such a shameful thing, but when the old lady asked, he couldn't help but say, "Yesterday, Prince Xuan Ping Hou fell from the Baihua Tower. In the morning, Xuan Ping Hou entered the palace in a sedan chair. Not long after, the sedan chair was broken, and Marquis Xuan Ping thought the marriage was unlucky, so he resigned the marriage with his second brother. At first, they lived in peace, but when the second brother went to the court, General Chen asked him what the family was thinking, and the second brother said Wanting to stay with Minghui for a year or two, Marquis Xuan Ping resigned the marriage, and the second younger brother told General Chen that he had thought it over carefully and decided to agree to the marriage..."
