Wanqingsi

Chapter 27
I faced the mirror and Ren Xiaohong combed my hair.The woman in the mirror had a pale face, which was originally thin. After this illness, her face became even sharper, which probably didn't meet the aesthetic standards of this time and space.While combing my hair, Xiaohong praised: "Girl's hair is really beautiful, long and black, as smooth as ice silk."

I smiled and said nothing.I naturally know that my hair is beautiful, no matter in this life or in the previous life, I have beautiful black hair that reaches the hips.In my previous life, I loved to grow long hair since I was a child, and I loved to use hairpins to tie up my glossy green silk tightly. Hairpins are also my favorite accessories. I have collected many hairpins and hairpins of different styles. The textures are also different, silver, wood, iron, plexiglass, pearl..., a whole box is filled with a variety of beautiful things.My preference for long hair and hairpins is probably due to the story my mother told me when I was young. She said that in ancient times, both men and women wore long hair and slept together after marriage. The hair of men and women was entangled to form a knot hair.My mother's words are very simple, but it makes me who loves to dream breed endless fantasies. If there is such a person in my life who can make me feel at ease and stay together, no one in this life can stop us from loving each other. Comb my black hair intimately with your hands, and use a hairpin to tie my black hair into a concentric bun. What a wonderful thing that is.Get married, husband and wife.

Xiaohong combed my hair, tied it into a bundle with a hair tie, let it hang loosely behind my head, and said strangely: "Girl, I don't understand why you don't tie up your hair, your hair It's thick and dense, and it can be beautifully coiled without a wig."

Facing the mirror, I raised my head slightly, turned my face slightly to the left, squinted at my side face in the mirror, and the black hair at the back of my head, and said with a smile: "It's too troublesome to twist your hair, it's a waste of time. "

Or maybe there is a faint expectation in my heart that I want my beloved to tie up my hair for me.In my previous life, I could only curl up lonely by myself, because I didn't find my lover. In the 30 years of life, it is not that there has been no love, but counting down time and time again, which time did not end in sadness?Others have hurt me, and I have hurt others. Later, when I get older, my appearance is mediocre, and people are tortured by this real society, I can no longer believe in this thing, until I am over [-] years old. , still alone, without those entangled concerns.Maybe this life will be different?Leave a hope for yourself, it is better than nothing.

At this moment, I heard a soft and charming voice from outside the door: "Is my sister in the room? My sister is here to see you..." I laughed, this Hongye really has a temperament of doing what he says.

She has already dressed up properly, her meticulously modified willow eyebrows are deep and shallow, which set off a pair of seductive eyes, her black hair is pulled up high, with blooming silk hibiscus pinned on her hair, and the neckline of her pink silk dress is flat and open , under the slender and clear neck, the fragrant shoulders of the naked body are faintly exposed, the snow skin is indescribably pink, white and fine, round and jade-like, she really is more delicate than a flower, charming and charming.

I went up to meet her, pulled her to sit on the chair by the window, and said with a smile, "Sister is really caring, and came to see me so soon."

"I asked my sister for help, so I salivated and disturbed my sister's rest." She didn't hide her purpose at all, and I smiled, vaguely knowing why she came here.Although she has the top card of leaning on the red building with Yuzhu girl with her unique skills, but in the final analysis, her talent is still slightly inferior to Yuzhu.In the "Super Oiran" competition, the competition is for beauty and talent, not for her unique skills. To win the championship, it really takes some effort.

Xiao Hong brought over two cups of tea and gently put them on the low table.I'm still very satisfied with this girl Xiaohong. Although she doesn't like Hongye, she won't do something out of courtesy and make me lose face.

"Sister, just tell me if you have anything to do. If I can help you, I will do my best." I picked up the tea and said with a smile.In this world, many friends are better than many enemies.

"It's not for the 'Super Oiran' competition in three days." Hong Ye frowned and said, "Three days later, it will be the first round of the top ten finalists, and two contestants will be eliminated. I am not inviting my sister for this matter. Give me a hand."

"Look at what my sister said, it's only the first round of the top ten finalists. I don't believe that my sister doesn't have the ability to enter the top eight." unambiguous.

"Although what my sister said is reasonable, it is precisely because it is the first competition, accumulating popularity is very important." Hongye said clearly, "I hope to give everyone an unforgettable impression during the first competition."

"My sister is as beautiful as a flower. When ordinary people see her, they will never forget her." I joked.

"It's not those ordinary people that I want to attract." Hong Ye pursed her lips and smiled, indescribably coquettish.

I became interested: "Isn't my sister trying to attract my sweetheart?"

There was a hint of blush on her cheeks, although she was shy, she answered calmly: "Yes so what?"

"If he is my sister's beloved, my sister will naturally help me." I looked at her with a smile, "Can my sister tell me who he is?"

"He..." There was a hint of intoxication in Hongye's eyes, with a happy and intoxicated expression on his face, "He is the younger brother of the current emperor, the Nine Princes Jun Qianyi."

Oh, what a great background.Hongye is also considered capable, unexpectedly able to know such a distinguished man.I frowned, as today's younger brother, the Ninth Prince, with such an identity, it would be impossible to welcome Hongye into the door justifiably, right?

Hongye thought she saw what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Jiu Ye is not a common man, he won't care about Hong Ye's identity, and Hong Ye doesn't want to make Jiu Ye feel bad, I never thought of following him in a good way , people live in this world, today they don’t know what will happen tomorrow, if I can be with him for a day, I just want to live happily for a day.”

I immediately felt ashamed!Even I, a person from the 21st century, can't say what Hongye said. This Hongye is really straightforward and free and easy. A man who is loved by such a beauty must have something extraordinary.

"My sister really admires my sister." I took her hand and said sincerely, "Carmen is ashamed of herself."

"Then sister, can I ask my sister for a song?" Hong Ye smiled.

"I can only sing, but I don't know how to compose music. If my sister wants to sing my sister's songs, I have to find a musician to compose the music together." I smiled. I don't know how their ancient music scores were composed. , for fear of arousing suspicion.

The red leaf thief smiled mischievously, put her head close to my ear, and the eighth woman said: "Your sister's minister under her skirt has the number one musician of our Tianzhao Dynasty..."

Fengge?I laughed, I really can't explain it, from participating in the auction to visiting every day when I was ill, I am afraid that the rumors about leaning on the red building are flying all over the sky again, and I don't bother to explain to Hongye, I sighed with a smile: "That's all, I will Go find Feng Ge and ask him to help me with this."

Hong Ye smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth: "Then I'll wait for the good news from my sister. On the day of the competition, my sister will come to see how my sister is showing off."

"This..." I smiled, "I have to ask General Ji, right?" At any rate, I will let him make the bread now, if that Mr. Yu doesn't like me to show my face...

"General Ji is the judge of the first round of the 'Super Oiran' contest invited by Mother Yue, and he will definitely not reject the girl." Hong Ye threw a bomb.

"Huh?" I was taken aback, he didn't seem like a person who would join in the fun.

Hong Ye looked at me with a look of astonishment, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "He is now our son-in-law who relies on the Red Mansion, Mother Yue begs to come to the door, how can the general not sell my sister's face?"

This Yueniang, who is so good at counting, even held up my signboard to invite someone.With the presence of General Ji, I believe that the law and order present is guaranteed.I sneered, and sold Yueniang as a favor for now, and when the time is right, I will definitely ask her to pay me back.

After Hongye left, I asked Xiaohong to inform Yue's mother that I was going out. Although Yueniang promised me that I could go out, I didn't try it and I still don't believe it.When Yueniang heard that I was going to Fengge's "Huanyueju", she really didn't stop her, she just ordered someone to prepare a small soft bridge for me and wait at the entrance of Yihonglou.I wanted to say that I don’t need a sedan chair. I’ve never been on the street before, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to visit this ancient market, but Yueniang said that I was just recovering from a serious illness, and the "Huanyue Residence" was too far away. , I thought about it and it made sense, so I tolerated those two bearers who looked like Yueniang had come to watch over me.

I took out the 100 taels of gold in the vanity box, folded it carefully, put it in my purse, and put it in my arms. After thinking about it, I thought it was wrong. I often saw thieves on the street stealing things on TV. , just touched you and stole the purse, then took the purse out of his arms, hung the purse around his neck, stuffed it into his clothes, put the meat on it, patted his chest, and then he was relieved.This is the first money I have earned in this time and space, and it is also the only money I have at present. It is my lifeline, and I will never allow anything that may go wrong to happen.

After getting on the sedan chair, I said to the bearer, "Go to Jubao Bank first, and then go to Mr. Yue's."

When Mrs. Jin came to see me before, she told me that the first commission that Jinxiu Zhuang gave me was 20 taels of silver, which had been deposited in Jubao Bank under Carmen's name.This is the largest bank in the Tianzhao Dynasty, with branches all over the country, and even in Yaoyue and Chenxing countries, there are also branches of Jubao Bank. If I go to any branch and show my black jade, I can buy it from my bank. The money was added to the account, the news made me laugh from ear to ear. It was a rare opportunity to go out, so I naturally had to go to the bank to check the account first, and then deposit the 100 taels in by the way.

The first commission was 20 taels, which means that there should be at least 40 taels a month. People who do business really make money quickly. I earn more in a month than those petty officials who earn half a year's salary.I am beautiful in my heart, and I am too lazy to go to Jinxiu Village to find out if they really can only give me this little money every month. I still understand the principle of accepting it when they see it. .

Sure enough, the money has already arrived in the account. I deposited the 100 taels of gold on my body, and then took out the consistent money. Wearing hemp rope, it made a "ding-dang" sound. I heard the sound of "cracking" and felt so beautiful in my heart. Experienced the feeling of being an upstart.He took a hundred cash and handed it to Xiaohong to let her buy something she likes. Xiaohong was so happy that her eyes were red.

After leaving the bank, the bearer carried me to Fengge's "Huanyueju". I lifted up the curtains on the sedan chair and looked at the street scene with curiosity. This strange world will be the place where I will live in the rest of my life.Xiaohong got a tip, and introduced it to me very hard, this is West Street, turning around is the most prosperous East Street in the capital, and at the end of East Street is the Imperial City....I responded with a "hmm" and looked around, and I discovered that Yueniang and the others had posted the notices of the "Super Oiran" contest, and some well-dressed teenagers were standing on the side of the street holding up the portraits of participating girls and shouting. slogan--

"Super oiran, the purest fragrance!"

"Please vote for Miss Xiangxiang, the super oiran!"

……

I put down the curtain, and laughed out loud with a "puchi". This is Xiangxiang, and she is also one of the girls who entered the top ten against the red building. It is said that she has a pair of big and bright eyes, and she looks sweet and innocent. It dances very well, no wonder these little boys love it so much.It turns out that ancient people can be as crazy as modern people!

While I was secretly laughing, I suddenly felt that the sedan chair stopped. I lifted the curtain and asked, "Xiaohong, why did it stop?"

"People are surrounded in front, blocking the street." Xiaohong said cleverly, "Girl, let me help you look."

I also got out of the sedan chair, and saw that we were at the crossroad where West Avenue and East Avenue bordered. The streets on both sides of East Avenue were crowded with people. Xiaohong and I squeezed into the crowd, and the two bearers followed We squeezed in, as if we were afraid that we would run away.But seeing a team of people playing gongs and drums and wearing red and hanging colors passing by on the East Street, Xiaohong said excitedly: "Look, girl, she is marrying a bride."

I smiled, and the girl's wedding sedan chair had already come to the front. What passed in front of us were boxes of dowry tied with red silk flowers. It was a long dragon, with no end in front and no end in front, and it stretched continuously. The onlookers were all envious.I smiled lightly, even if others celebrate, the world is not so cold anymore.

"Look at what you little girl said, you have no eyes." The sister-in-law who heard Xiaohong's words next to her laughed at Xiaohong's ignorance, "That is not an ordinary bride, it is the imperial concubine's phoenix sedan chair, the girl in the sedan chair It's the young lady of the Wei family, who was made a concubine by the emperor a month ago, and now she is about to enter the palace."

Wei?I was startled, and subconsciously asked, "Is her surname also Wei?"

"What's wrong with the surname Wei?" The sister-in-law gave me a strange look, "Wei is our Tianzhao's common surname, and many people have the surname Wei."

There is such a thing?The sister-in-law looked at the boxes of dowry carts passing by, with envy in her eyes, and said to herself: "But the girl surnamed Wei in Tianzhao's family is not as good as her. Dad is the prime minister of the court. He has been peeing since he was a child." Splendid clothes and fine food, pampered and spoiled, and now you are an imperial concubine!"

When the prime minister?I'm dizzy, how many prime ministers surnamed Wei are there in Tianzhao?I suddenly grabbed the sister-in-law's hand: "What's her name?"

"Oh, it hurts so much from you grabbing me, you are sick!" The sister-in-law struggled to free my hand, and said angrily, "How do we little people know the name of the prime minister's daughter?"

I held back my dizziness and shook my body, Xiao Hong immediately supported me, and said anxiously: "Miss, are you alright?"

I ignored him, just stared at the sister-in-law and said, "How many prime ministers does Tianzhao have?"

"Of course there is only one. The question you asked is really strange." The sister-in-law looked at me as if I was a Martian. one person."

"What's his name?" I bit my lip and stared at the sister-in-law, with an ominous premonition in my heart, "I mean Prime Minister Wei's name?"

"Wei Chengxiang?" The sister-in-law has completely regarded me as crazy at this moment, "Who in this capital doesn't know? Of course it's Mrs. Wei Jinlan Wei..."

I was struck by lightning, and my mind went blank.
