I want to be a grandson

Chapter 219 Red Jacket

But not long after walking, his younger brother chased after him, and said out of breath, "Sister, don't worry... don't ask me to bring you something..."

Xiao Cui felt sorry for her younger brother and said: "Look at you are so tired... why are you running so fast, I have everything in the palace, don't send me anything, you can take it back quickly."

The younger brother said: "It's not something else, take a look..." As he spoke, he stuffed a bundle into Xiaocui's hands.

Xiaocui took it over, opened the bundle, and saw that inside was a red jacket, which was actually made of silk!

Xiaocui shook it open, and saw that the stitches were fine and the workmanship was very delicate, and a small flower was embroidered on the silk surface, which looked exquisite and beautiful.

Xiaocui couldn't help but said, "Why are you wasting money again! How much money does this cost? Hurry up and get it back, and buy some delicious food for your parents..."

"Oh..." Her younger brother scratched his head and explained, "I didn't buy it, but my parents bought it for you..."

Xiao Cui said suspiciously: "Although the clothes are good, they are not suitable for eating or drinking. Why did you buy them for me? When did my father buy silk clothes? Don't lie to me, you bought them!"

"Oh my sister, I really didn't buy it!"

The younger brother explained: "After you left, a peddler who sold estimated clothes came to our village with a bag, and came to our house to beg for a bowl of water. Just in time, my parents saw this red silk jacket.

Parents thought it was too shabby for you to wear in the palace, after all, you are also the princess now... um, um... the person you like, you have to be decent, so they bought it..."

Xiaocui stared at the red jacket in her hand, and she couldn't stop dancing on it with her palm, she obviously liked it very much.

But he still said reluctantly: "Father and mother are really... You should take it back and return it, it must be very expensive, and it will cost a lot of money."

The younger brother shook his head like a rattle, "Sister, just take it, it's not expensive, it's only one hundred Wen..."

Xiao Cui immediately put on a straight face and said, "You're lying! How can you buy a jacket with a silk face for a hundred Wen?"

The younger brother said: "Look, this is an estimated garment, not a new one, that's why it's sold cheap..."

Xiaocui took a closer look, only to realize that although the red silk noodles were still new, they were not bright enough, and the red plus jacket could only be considered about [-]% or [-]% new.

Seeing this, Xiaocui felt relieved, and at the same time, she was very happy, "It's really an estimate...it's quite new, but you can't buy it for a hundred coins, how can it be so cheap!"

The younger brother said: "At first the peddler refused to sell it. It was because your parents said that you were in the palace, and the princess valued you very much. The peddler also wanted to have some good fortune from the nobleman, so he asked for two feet of rags from our house. Then it will be sold cheaply..."

In fact, this phenomenon, as a person living in a technologically advanced and civilized society, is sometimes difficult to understand.

But this phenomenon was very common in ancient times.

Moreover, similar situations can still be found in rural areas to this day.

For example, in some places, shortly after the birth of the baby, the relatives and friends of the mother went to the neighbors to ask for small pieces of colorful cloth from house to house.

And if you get the leftover fabric of the old people for making shrouds, you think it is the best.

After returning home, use these rags to sew Baijia clothes for your children.

Baijiayi, also known as "Baijiayi", is a kind of patchwork children's clothing that is sewn together with rags.

Especially in some areas of the Han nationality, it is a popular custom for newborn babies to wear "hundreds of clothes".

It is to bless the baby to get rid of diseases and avoid disasters, and to live a long life.

Asking for cloth pieces from hundreds of families believes that babies can grow up healthily under the gifts of the people of all families, especially the long-lived elderly.

In addition, some places will ask the people for a little grain, and make it into porridge for babies to drink.

Some will install a mirror at home, while others will hang a gossip compass on the gate.

In short, all kinds of actions that want to benefit from other people's luck, even in today's society, emerge in endlessly.

So the salesman heard that Xiaocui was from the palace and was on good terms with the nobleman, so it was perfectly normal for him to want to be lucky.

After confirming that it didn't cost much, Xiaocui became happy again.

After saying goodbye to his younger brother, he happily embarked on the journey back to the palace with the bundle containing the red jacket.

After the eunuchs and palace maids entered the palace, they would sometimes be given a day off so that they could go out of the palace to buy something for themselves.

Or those who are close to home can also apply to go home to visit relatives.

It's just that whether it's shopping or going home, they must go through very strict inspections when they return to the palace.

In addition to checking the packages you are carrying, you must also check the clothes you are wearing and whether there is something hidden in your hair.

Moreover, such inspections are very strict, even to the point of harshness.

When Xiaocui came to the city gate, she handed over the things she was carrying to the inspecting maids and eunuchs.

Then the bag was opened to reveal her belongings, and the maids would pick them up one by one and examine them carefully.

After the inspection was correct, Xiao Cui was taken into a room for a body search, and there, all her clothes were taken off, and the maids were asked to check whether there was any entrainment.

Moreover, the older and experienced court lady was in charge of making Xiaocui open her mouth, check her armpits, and other places.

This is just to enter the outer imperial city.

If you want to enter the East Palace, you need to check again.

Similarly, those serving in the inner imperial city, that is, the palace, also need to pass the second inspection.

After all, if someone secretly carries a murder weapon or hides some kind of poison, once something happens, it will be an earth-shattering event!

So under these two inspections, no one could bring poison into the palace at all.

For some reason, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace seemed very irritable today.

In front of the huge bronze mirror, Lu's hair was loose and not combed.

A few court ladies stood aside, bowing their heads, accepting scolding.

Mrs. Lu said impatiently: "What's wrong with you today! You can't even comb your hair well for such a long time, either pinching your hair or messing with your hands, no one is doing things with heart!"

The maid is also full of grievances, and what she combs today is the same as before.

On the contrary, because of the anger of the princess, they became more careful.

Mrs. Lu glared at them with disgust, "Where's Xiao Cui? Has Xiao Cui come back? You don't comb as well as Xiao Cui..."

A court lady replied cautiously: "If you go back to the Crown Princess, Xiao Cui has been away for three days, and she should be back today..."

Mrs. Lu said: "When I come back, let her come over and comb my hair immediately. How can I meet people..."

With the words of the Crown Princess, Xiaocui was dragged by the maids to come to the Crown Princess as soon as she entered the East Palace.

Xiaocui originally wanted to put the things she brought back in her residence first, and then return to her life.

But the maids didn't allow it, they only said it was the order of the crown princess, and took her there.

There is also competition among the maids. Seeing that the Crown Princess likes Xiaocui's hair combing skills so much, everyone must be jealous.

Calling Xiao Cui in such a hurry, on the one hand, Lu Shi is angry, and maybe he is tired of Xiao Cui, so he can just take the opportunity to take the position!
