Lucky not to forget

Chapter 83 Makeup
Pei Zhen wondered, "Gaoyang County King? What is he doing here?" He stood up and went to the ground, and let Zhuer clean up and retreat for him.
Zhu'er knelt on the ground, smoothed every crease, and replied, "I just found out after I went to see it. It's noon, maybe there is something important."
Pei Zhen didn't answer, but put on a thick cloak, and said to Wu Wang, "Don't wait for me, I don't know how long it will be delayed, and all the dishes are cold, so ask them to serve you first." .”
Wu Wang beeped and sent him to the steps outside the main room, he said, "Go in." He turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Weiyun Danyue came up to help with a smile, Weiyun said, "Don't look at it, girl, it's cold outside, take care to catch the cold."
Danyue joked, "No, uncle can't fly anymore, so it's more serious to go in and eat."
Wuwang smiled shyly, and went back to the room, only to feel that one person was sitting at the big table in a deserted place, so he went up to the kang again, and Danyue called the woman in the anteroom to come, lifted the kang table, and took the dishes to each other. Some dishes were set aside, and the rest were withdrawn. Guwang ate hastily on the kang, washed his mouth and hands after the meal, and asked the little girl to bring the accounting book and abacus to the kang table, flipping through the booklet with one hand, and Pulling the abacus, Zhu'er began to settle accounts again.
Weiyun lifted the cover of the cauldron and stored two handfuls of pepper orchid incense in it, then leaned on the collection box to watch her plan, and saw that beautiful and slender fingers were extremely dexterous, weird people said that left-handed people are smart, this Liu The girl is left-handed, so she doesn't suffer from abacus. Others dial from left to right, but she counts from right to left.I heard some things about her when I was in Beidi. It seems that she is a troubled official lady who opened a pastry shop in the city. She must have practiced her accounting methods there.He sighed in his heart, he is really a capable person, he looks good, and he has a good mind, and now the uncle is even more loving and caring. If a person can live like this, this life is worth it.
Don't expect the more and more calculations here, the more annoying, there are a lot of miscellaneous things, it costs 40 taels a month to make clothes for the girl, every month is like this, what kind of big family hires such a housekeeper, sooner or later the house will be ruined It's over! The brothers in this family must be greedy too much. If they can't balance their accounts, they will recklessly fill up the numbers. The people below may not really get well. If you come out with the ins and outs, you will pay for it. Who is wronged in this world!
After a while, he put down his pen, straightened his stiff neck, and looked back at Yuloudao, "It's been a while, hasn't that county king left yet?"
Danyue was cleaning the flower arrangements on the table, and replied, "It seems that I have left a meal in the warm pavilion, and I have already sent the kitchen to prepare the food and drinks."
Wu Wang asked, "Who is this Gaoyang County King?"
Wei Yun brought tea to her, and said, "I went out yesterday to listen to people's discussions. The Gaoyang County King is the second son of Yan King. I went back to Peiping with my two brothers. This county king is not very old, he is eighteen or nineteen years old, he is not liked by Gaozu because of his fierceness, and he is like a tyrant."
Wuwang took two sips of tea, leaned against the window and thought, and was very puzzled. King Yan had the intention of rebelling, didn't the court know?The detainment of the capital by King Yan's third son was a good bargaining chip to hold King Yan hostage, so why did he let it back so easily?It's strange that King Yan is so happy, God will help him.
After resting for a while, he asked again, "Is the assistant still serving you?"
Wei Yun said, "I just went into the uncle's house to get something, and now I went to the racecourse. It is said that the king of Gaoyang County heard that our uncle got a jade unicorn, and he was begging for a horse." After speaking, he sat back in the zizi On the table, put a lacquer box on her knees, bowed her head and carefully braided the tassels.
Wuwang leaned over to look, there were all kinds of ropes and threads in the plate, and saw a braided fan pendant that was small and exquisite, so he picked it out and held it in his hand to play with, and said with a smile, "Miss Weiyun is very handy, I have a pine flower green one." I don’t know what color tassels to match with the sweat towel, what do you think, Miss?”
Wei Yun hurriedly said, "The pine flowers and greens must match the peach red ones. Girls who want to weave the tassels can just leave it to me. Let's go to the house. The work is easy, and I can do it for the girls when I have free time."
Wu Wang said happily, "If you dare to be kind, there will be Miss Lao."
Seeing her being so polite, Weiyun waved her hands in fear, and smiled apologetically, "Young lady, this is what slaves should do. What is it worth to weave a few tassels? Why don't you ask the young lady to thank you?"
The two sat together talking and laughing for a while, and the girl on the courtyard door outside replied on the porch, "Miss, can you take a rest? The uncle sent someone to put on makeup for the girl."
Danyue put the tail of the jade-handled stag in the landscape flower cup, and said through the soft curtain of green flowers, "I haven't slept yet, tell them to put things on the pear case in the main room, and take them to the side room to avoid, wait for the girl to choose." Once they get it, they will pay the money to the house.”
Wu Wang said, "It's okay, let them come in, they are all precious things, and they don't feel at ease when they leave, so it's better to choose them face to face."
Danyue Dao said that someone came in when he went out, a jeweler, a leather goods dealer, and a shopkeeper of a clothing store. The three knew that they were members of Pei's family and did not dare to look up. The jeweler stepped forward and arranged the goods one by one. Okay, then retreat to the side and obey orders.
Don't look at the dazzling head and face jewelry on the table, because I don't usually wear jewelry very much, and I don't know how to pick and choose. I only pick some plain jade hairpins and glazed flowers. Weiyun looked at it and smiled, "Girl, don't just choose Yu, if you are going to have a banquet later, you should always dress up."

Don Wang said discouragedly, "You guys choose for me."
Weiyun Danyue stepped forward enthusiastically, Danyue took a pair of golden phoenix hairpins inlaid with precious silk and pearls and sent them to her, and asked, "Miss, how are you looking?"
Don't hope that they are not very interested, and they agreed on what to choose, so the two girls took some hairpins, Huasheng, Buyao, combs, and tin flowers, and ordered two sets of gold inlaid jade and coral emerald heads. , and picked out a beaded crown, and said with a smile, "It will be useful when we get married in the future."
Wu Wang Yingying smiled and said, "I haven't given you a meeting gift yet, you can choose what you like and keep a few."
Weiyun Danyue looked at each other, and said with some struggle, "We are girls, we don't need to wear any jewelry, thank you for your kindness."
Knowing that they are restrained, Wu Wang comforted him, "Hurry up and choose, I will reward you."
The two smiled happily, and went forward to choose the one that was too expensive, so they didn't dare to take it. They each picked up a Dielian flower gold inlaid hairpin, a silver straw comb, and a pair of exquisite earrings. Money came over to salute her and thank her.
After choosing the jewelry, I put on the leather goods. On the left, there are only some big cloaks, leather skirts and leather jackets. I asked for sable, ermine, and fox fur. .
In the end, the shopkeeper of the clothing store came up and made a big bow, and presented the brochure with the shop's fabric color pattern in front of Wuwang, and said carefully, "The little one wants to measure the size of the clothes for the girl, please ask the girl." Move the body of a thousand gold."
Wuwang thought to himself that what he said was interesting, so he stood up along the way, and stood upright with his hands down, letting him measure the length of his clothes and sleeves.
The shopkeeper said again, "There are two sets of high-quality winter clothes in the small shop. Because Master Zhen said he needed them urgently, I'm afraid it's too late to make them now. Now I have a girl's size. I will make some changes when I go back and put those two sets away tomorrow." Send it here, and the rest of the girls will pick out the patterns, and tell the little ones if they spot one, the girls will be satisfied with the things we make in Tianyilou."
Wuwang agreed casually, looked at the fabric styles in the brochure, and only picked five or six colors, which was enough. At this time, Pei Zhen just came back from sending the Gaoyang County King, and when he entered the door, he saw her listless, and knew that she must be bored These, to be done hastily, took the brochure and flipped through it again, pointing to the silver red, peach red, blue crepe, and bright red happy encounters, which were very gorgeous, and then sent to the accountant's collar. Someone went to checkout.
Weiyun and Danyue packed up their dowry, went to the small cabinet at the top of the kang and locked it, turned around and blessed, and retreated outside the main room.
Wuwang was also unhappy because of the bright red and green colors Pei Zhen picked, and said angrily, "Why are you so kitsch? You pick all the red and green ones, and you can wear them if you can. Anyway, I don't wear them."

Pei Zhen said distressedly, "Who told you to only pick dull colors! It would be a pity if you don't wear red, listen to me, I'm the best at dressing up, anyway, just don't ask."
Wu Wang turned his back, thinking that he didn't know that he hadn't yet become a filial piety, and picked that color to vomit people, so he ignored him sullenly, slumped on the lead pillow without making a sound, Pei Zhen sighed helplessly, I don't know when I became so good-natured. In the past, I would kick people if I said something wrong, but now I only have soft words to please her. It is really a sin from my previous life.Hurrying to rub it over again, she also leaned against her back, barely hanging on, and was about to fall, so she begged for mercy, "Good spring, go in and give me some space, I'm about to fall." down."
Wu Wang said that she deserved it, but the person moved inside, then Pei Zhen found a comfortable position to lie down, pulled the blanket to cover it, pulled her sleeves and said, "I ordered someone to carve a plaque for your parents I've gone, I should have confessed after the new year, I also wrote a letter to your aunt and uncle to plead guilty, but because of the current situation, there is no other way, please forgive me."
Wuwang felt a little comforted in his heart, he was still hesitating about the matter of his parents' god position in the morning, but he didn't expect that he had already started to do it, and he was very grateful to him immediately.
Seeing her lips move a few times, Pei Zhen guessed that she must have something to say, so she took a step ahead and said, "If you want to thank me, that's all. I don't want to thank you."
Don't hope that the emotion in his heart will be wiped out, and he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "What is the king of Gaoyang County here for?"
There was sarcasm in Pei Zhen's eyes, and he smiled coldly and said, "It's just a kid. I heard that I got a good horse and came to see it. Since he likes it, I'll give it to him. It's just a horse. Why not be a good horse?" Shun Shui favors."
Wu Wang asked, "Why did the imperial court let their brothers back now?"
Pei Zhen closed his eyes and said, "It's not Huang Zicheng's sour idea. Several vassal kings were deposed one after another, and they clearly raised their knives above their heads. They still want to paralyze King Yan with this. It's thanks to this idiot. Tell the superiors to have no scruples, and now they only owe east wind, and when the weapons are made enough, they will go to war, and the man will also achieve a grand plan and hegemony."
Don't look sour in my heart, it turns out that men are all ambitious, no matter what they think before, or they are rebellious and annoyed, they can't help themselves when they take that step, he has achieved hegemony, and life and death will be hard on the battlefield It's so easy for two people to get together. If he makes a mistake, have you ever thought about what she will do?
Pei Zhen seemed to realize something, turned around and saw her shoulders trembling slightly, propped herself up and leaned over to look at her face, only to see that she was biting her lip, tears had already gathered in her eyes...
