Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 30 Disrespect
The two boxes contained good things, but none of them were what she wanted. She was angry and asked for none of them by name, and those who didn't like it were all in the box.

And what she didn't like the most was the imperial gift.

Ordinary things can be given away, how can the imperial gift be given away casually, even if Zhennan Wanggong is in Sheji, if the son of Zhennan Wang does this, he will inevitably feel disrespectful to the emperor.

Master Su San said, "It's better for my concubine not to accept these things."

Old Mrs. Su looked at Concubine Ming. After all, it was given to her. How should Concubine Ming make up her mind, Concubine Ming reluctantly said, "Then send it back."

According to her wishes, if he dared to give it all to the pawnshop, why didn't she dare to accept it?

Can the life of his majestic Zhennan prince be inferior to such a little thing?

Old Master Su asked Second Master Su to send the things back in person, while Mrs. Su looked at Ming Concubine's forehead and said, "Why is it swollen?"

Ming concubine lightly touched her forehead and said, "I accidentally bumped it, just apply some medicine and it will be fine."

Su Yang said, "Cousin is tired, let her go back and rest first."

Mrs. Su hesitated to speak, but seeing the tired look on the brows of Concubine Ming, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Ming concubine resigned, and after walking for a while, Su Yang chased him out. He took a brocade box in his hand and handed it to Ming concubine, "I just picked it, and I don't know if it suits my cousin's wishes."

"Didn't my cousin just give me a silver needle?" Ming concubine laughed.

"That doesn't count," Su Yang smiled and handed the brocade box to Concubine Ming.

Ming concubine accepted it graciously.

Over there, the servant girl came to tell Su Yang, and he went to see Mrs. Su.

Xi'er said impatiently, "Quickly open it and see what gift Master Biao gave the girl."

Ming concubine was also very curious, opened the brocade box and saw a white magnolia flower hairpin, beautifully carved, Xi'er enviously said, "What a beautiful hairpin!"

Ming concubine smiled and said, "I've cost my cousin again, and I'll give him something some other day."

After returning to Xiaokuayuan, Ming concubine changed into the men's clothes, Xi'er hugged the clothes and said, "I'll wash the clothes and send them to Young Master Biao."

Seeing her, Ming concubine said, "What else is there to give? Cousin won't be able to wear such a small brocade robe long ago. Let's keep it. Maybe someday we will go out to play."

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Staying at Su's house, with nothing to do, chatting with grandma, strolling in the garden, listening to Su Man and the others playing the piano and composing poems, for Ming Concubine, such a day is not much different from being under a cliff.

But it's not a funny thing.

After Chu Mochen's people came to the door to withdraw their marriage, the old man Su asked Zhennan Wang when he went to court, and the Zhennan king apologized for his son's mischief, so old man Su felt at ease.

Then, the Zhou family officially came to propose marriage.

The words about marrying Su Li in the first grade of high school have long been forgotten. What if another son of the Zhennan Prince comes out?
Although the Zhennan Palace is good and holds military power, no one dares to underestimate it. The Su family is not bad, with peaches and plums all over the world. If the Su family and the Zhennan Palace are really married, then the life of the Su family will be really difficult. Wen Chen The generals are all in the same family, can the emperor not be afraid?
Mrs. Zhou came to make a marriage arrangement in person, exchanged tokens, and Zhou Yan also came.

Ming concubine was practicing calligraphy in the study, and was dragged by Su Man and Su Yao by one arm to the rockery to eavesdrop on Su Li and Zhou Yan's conversation. As for why she was called, Su Yao explained, "The law does not blame the public."

She is a granddaughter, and she has meritorious service in treating Mrs. Su, even if she was caught eavesdropping, no one would blame them.

Only when you lose it will you know how precious it is.

The two called each other "cousin" and "cousin", caring for each other deeply, but nothing they said was worth a thousand words.

Then Ming concubine saw the reserved and shyness of the ancients. Zhou Yan wanted to hold Su Li's hand, but he struggled for a long time. He stretched out his hand a few times, but then retracted it. It was obvious that Ming concubine was so anxious that she was still a man. what.

Xi'er was even more impatient. She felt that if it was her girl, she might even kiss her, let alone shake hands.

No, when Zhou Yan stretched out his hand again, Mingyu couldn't hold back his violent temper, "Hold tight!"

I don't know if he was frightened or made up his mind, Zhou Yan really stretched out his hand, and tightly grasped Su Li's slender and tender body.

Su Li blushed, stomped her feet and ran away covering her face.

Zhou Yan was not much better, and left quickly from the other side.

Only the rockery was left with bursts of laughter.

Joy inevitably leads to sorrow, Su Li ran too fast, stepped on the hem of the skirt and sprained her feet, and they couldn't hide their eavesdropping. After Mrs. Su found out, she criticized them one by one, especially concubine Ming. , although they are engaged, but they are not married after all, how can they shake hands, it is against the defense of men and women.

Then, they were punished to copy "Women's Commandments" and "Women's Rules". Because of her wrist injury, Su Man and Su Yao asked Su Man and Su Yao to copy her twenty articles for her, which made them miserable.

They were punished for copying, and there was no one to play with Ming concubine, and she wrote and drew in the room.

Xi'er studied ink at the side, and said, "Young lady painted silver needles, didn't Master Biao give you a pair?"

Ming concubine smiled and said, "This is a golden needle."

There are 49 kinds of needles in seven or seven kinds of needles, which are not known in her family, and all of them are indispensable.

Fortunately, she has a pretty good memory and can draw it down.

Xi'er was puzzled, "Gold is soft, how can it pierce someone?"

"Only [-]% is gold," Ming concubine replied.

Just after finishing the painting, a servant girl came in outside and said, "Cousin girl, the third young master is going to Qingyaxuan, and I asked you if you can go."

Xi'er snorted, looked at Ming Concubine and asked, "Isn't Qingyaxuan closed?"

Qingyaxuan's business was not good, and there were no birds at the door. After Su Yang left that day, Qingyaxuan was asked to close.

And this time the door is closed to better open the door.

Ming concubine understood what Su Yang meant, she asked Xi'er to put on the men's clothes, and went straight to the outer courtyard.

However, she really misunderstood what Su Yang meant. In the carriage, Ming concubine changed the women's clothes. When she got out of the carriage, Su Yang saw her wearing men's clothes, and the heroic spirit between her brows couldn't be concealed, so she was stunned, "Cousin , why did you change into men's clothes?"

Ming concubine and his eyes met, and the more they met, the more awkward they became. She thought...

"It's okay, men's clothes are convenient to go anywhere," Ming concubine tugged on her brocade robe to smooth things over for herself.

Indeed, it's much cheaper to wear men's clothing, but her grandfather didn't approve of her dressing up as a man. Last time, she had no choice but to change into it this time. It's not easy to ask her to change it back. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and said, " You can just wear a gauze scarf when you go out in the future, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Ming concubine nodded lightly, and after Xi'er got off the carriage, she helped her down too.

Just now in the carriage, she was only focused on changing clothes, the gauze curtains were tightly closed, airtight, she really didn't know that they came to such a secluded place, and there was no one around.

This is a small courtyard with three entrances. After entering the courtyard, Ming concubine saw a young man holding a paper in his hand, so she knew what Su Yang brought her here for.

Seeing Su Yang, the manager of the small courtyard hurried over to greet him, and said, "The third young master is here."

Su Yang asked, "How are those ceramic characters?"

The steward replied, "These days, I have been firing day and night, and the commonly used characters are almost burned."

Su Yang and Ming concubine, the leaders in charge, went to the inner courtyard to have a look. The small square ceramics were very pleasing. Su Yang took a piece and rubbed it on the paper with ink. The characters were clear and clear at a glance.

Mingyu is not interested in these, but thinks that the ceramics are fired really well, and there is no flaw at all to the touch. The only thing lacking is that there is no painting, otherwise it can be used as a collection.

Su Yang called Ming concubine because he had a problem and needed to ask her opinion. He took Ming concubine aside, looked at the arranged ceramic characters and asked, "It can be printed in this way, and the speed is very fast. It's just ceramics. After all, it is fired, and it is difficult to make a normal size, sometimes it will shake when rubbing, and the font will be blurred, does my cousin have a good solution?"
