Reborn Daughter

Chapter 58
"What kind of happy event did grandma have?" Seeing Ding Zi coming, Mrs. Wang repeatedly waved to her, "The Empress Dowager's birthday is the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, and the whole country celebrates it! This year, I also specially show favor to you. All ministers above the seventh rank can bring their family members with them. .”

"The Empress Dowager's birthday! That's really a great joy, and the manor should be cautious about choosing escaped gifts." Ding Zi really didn't know about this, and the Empress Dowager was ten days away from her grandmother, whose birthday banquet was held on June 25.

The birthday banquets of these two women in the capital are likely to be lively for a while, especially the Queen Mother’s birthday banquets. In previous years, only officials with rank five and above were allowed to go with their families. How grand it will be.

"That's right, we should pay more attention to the empress dowager's kindness this time, so we specially ask you guys to come over and pick up the two sets of cloth you like, so that you can attend the birthday banquet at the Huguohou Mansion and the palace!" There is a different emotion in Ding Zi's eyes.

Ding Zi just turned her head with a faint smile, and looked at Ding Jing, Ding Ning'er and Ding An who were already groping around the cloth with admiration.

They naturally knew what a big deal this time was. Attending the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, there would be few princes and nobles in it. When the time comes, they will dress up and win the favor of those noble sons. As concubine daughters, they will stand up.

Aunt Bai stood aside and added: "The old lady attaches great importance to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and this concubine went to Jinxiu Xuan in the capital to order fifteen bolts of high-quality fabric."

"Jinxiuxuan! That's the best silk and satin shop in the capital, and each piece costs 800 taels!" Ding Ning'er screamed, and immediately fell silent, but she couldn't put it down in her hand, but she couldn't decide .

Which horse to choose?This Jinxiuxuan is the number one silk and satin shop in the capital, look at the style of fabrics, it is really not comparable to the fabrics you wear on weekdays.

Thinking that she only gets four or two months of silver in a month, if she wants to save up a batch of clothes from Jinxiuxuan, she doesn't know the year of the monkey, the family would not go there to order them on weekdays, and if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she wouldn't even have the chance to touch it!

He even made up his mind in his heart, and then he must be the best in the world and win the first prize!
"There is no rule. Your sister hasn't chosen yet. As a concubine, you should know high and low. She actually surpasses the concubine's daughter in choosing materials. What kind of thought do you have?" When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, Mrs. Wang didn't give them any good looks.

Ding Ning'er's face turned pale when she was told, but she immediately reacted and replied docilely: "Ning'er lost her composure. Ning'er has never seen such a good material. Thinking that her grandmother is sympathetic to us, she got carried away for a while. Please, sister!"

"It doesn't matter grandma, all the things in Jinxiuxuan are good, I can choose any one, but my younger sisters rarely have such a chance, so it is right for them to choose first." Ding Zi replied grandly, but Ding Jing and Ding Ning'er looked even worse when they heard this, and Ding An also looked up at her. It turned out that Ding Zi would not mock them so blatantly.

Why is the prostitute so superior to others!Is the concubine going to be overwhelmed by her forever?
She, Ding Zi, may not be much prettier than them, but because she has a powerful grandparent's family, do she really think that she will be in power forever?
At this time, women are not relying on men. As long as they surpass her in style at the birthday banquet, it is still unknown who will be higher and who will be lower in the future!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, anyway, Ding Zi also spoke, Ding Jing and Ding Ning'er rushed over to choose the material, feeling this one and that one, but they wanted to keep either one.

Comparing one by one, thinking about how the clothes will look on the body, and what accessories to match, Ding Jing finally chose a cloud brocade embroidered with peony patterns in red, and a peony brocade with gold silk piping. It matches the gorgeousness of big red and big gold.

Ding Ning'er, with fair skin and gentle appearance, chose a set of Shu brocade with yellow background embroidered with white lilies, and another set with pink gauze. As for Ding An, he chose the most plain brocade brocade with white background embroidered with green willow branches, and another set with white embroidery. For Huang Yingniao's brocade forging, she chose two such simple and clean ones after the two concubine sisters, which made her look indifferent to the matter, and Wang frowned.

However, Ding Zi laughed when she saw the material of her three choices.

it is good!very good!
Everyone has their own ideas, and if they want to show off their style at the banquet, then she should fulfill their wish, and then don't overdo it——

The remaining nine horses are not as good as Ding Jing and Ding Ninger's, and some of the colors are not suitable, but they are worse than Ding An's, which really agrees with the golden mean that Ding Zi wants.

In the end, she chose two horses at random, and the three aunts picked two horses each, and put the rest into the big warehouse.

Ding Jing and Ding Ning'er were fantasizing about the beautiful appearance of the upper body of the clothes at this time, and she had no other distractions.

Ding Zi got up at this time and said: "Grandmother, Zi'er wants to go to the street to buy some gifts these few days, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year, Zi'er also wants to go to Baiyun Nunnery to offer incense to pray for grandma, and she will be out of the house for five days. promise."

When it came to praying for herself, Mrs. Wang naturally had nothing else to say. Just as she was about to agree, Aunt Ma suddenly interjected: "There have been many and chaotic things in the mansion these days. Missy is capable and smart. Anyway, the gift and Baiyun nunnery can't escape." Why don't you wait for two days, so that the eldest lady can help you watch, or you will say that this or that is not good for you in the future." Aunt Ma's words are full of run-on, just like the old days, Ding Zi But she knew what she was planning.

"What my aunt said is true. In the past, I still had to worry about one or two things, but now the big and small things in the house are well organized. I am not in charge, and I don't have the age and experience of my grandmother. Grandma’s experience? Besides, I’m going to pray for grandma in the nunnery. No matter what happens in the house, it’s not as healthy as grandma’s health. Or is it that my aunt thinks that things in the house are more important than grandma’s health.” Ding Zi softly kicked the ball. Flash past insidious.

"Well, the old lady's body is more important than anything else, I was too worried." Aunt Ma backed away shyly, but her heart became more and more resentful.

Wang ignored her lazily and turned to Ding Zi, "Go, be careful."

"Grandma, don't worry, Zi'er will return safely."

Then Aunt Bai took the cloth to a tailor in the city, everyone went back to the courtyard, Ding Zi called Ding Zhi and then asked Xi'er Ling'er to prepare for going out.

As a civil servant, Ding Peng dislikes those military officials who use swords and sticks the most. At the beginning, Ding Zi taught Ding Zhi Zha Ma Bu because he was afraid that Ding Peng would find out and stop him. Originally, if Ding Zhi's basic skills were not good enough, he had to start with Z Ma Bu, but Ding Zi's tricks I didn't have many opportunities to teach him, so I secretly asked him to enroll in equestrian and boxing at the academy, and with some moves I taught, he would achieve some success in a year or two.

During this period of time, Ding Zhi often practiced martial arts in Ding Zi's room. Although the two were siblings, they were too mysterious to make people imagine: "From now on, Zhi'er will do a few sets of simple boxing in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall every day. , if someone asks, you can just say that the master in the academy said that practicing a few sets of boxing is good for your body, and my sister is going out these few days, so you have to be careful in the mansion, you know."
