Chapter 441
The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the year, month, and day. It is the dynasty of the year, the dynasty of the moon, and the dynasty of the sun, also known as the "Three Dynasties"; .

The original meaning of "Yuan" is "head", and later extended to "beginning", because this day is the first day of the year, the first day of spring, and the first day of the first month, so it is also called "three yuan".

On this day, in order to live a better life for a year, the people of Dayu will offer sacrifices to gods and Buddhas, pay homage to ancestors, remove the old and bring forth the new, welcome the new year and welcome blessings, and pray for a good harvest.

Let go of the firecrackers first in the morning. The firecrackers in the Zhenbei Palace were set off by vehicles. They were set off like a torrential rain for half an hour, and the sulfurous smoke almost filled the entire palace.The smoked Changning held his nose and couldn't help but think: Fortunately, there was no pollution in ancient times, otherwise, the smog would have become heavy in the past few days.

Not only the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, but other mansions also set it off like this, and the sound of firecrackers was continuous everywhere for a while.After the sound of firecrackers, the streets were filled with broken red, shining like clouds and brocades, and the people walking praised the "full house" and greeted each other with joy.Everyone's face is full of happiness, laughing and laughing, it seems that the street is full of auspiciousness and prosperity.

Last night, Chang Ning and Xiao Qian watched the New Year's Eve and did not sleep until dawn. They got up after squinting and presided over various sacrificial ceremonies.Although the headquarters of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is in Huining City in the northwest, there are a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year.

At the same time, for the sake of King Zhenbei being his own father, Xiao Qian took Chang Ning to meet King Zhenbei who was still imprisoned in a small courtyard.

However, the other party refused to see them at all.

"It's really shameless, and I don't even think about what else he gave me besides a sperm?" Xiao Qian was suddenly a little angry.

"Don't, why are you angry on the first day of the Chinese New Year!" Chang Ning thought about it: "Give a new set of clothes to Xiao Gang in the prison, anyway, it's your brother-in-law, and it's the New Year's Eve. You still have to behave like you should." made."

Xiao Gang has been convicted and is currently being detained in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He will be executed only after the beginning of spring.

"Okay!" The other party was about to die, Xiao Qian had no objection to this.

Because of this incident, people in the capital once again praised Xiao Qian's benevolence and righteousness.

Then Qin Xiucai, Liu Shi and others wanted to return to Xingfuju, Xiao Qian appointed Xiao Ren to follow.

Because of Changning being kidnapped back then, Xiao Ren was burned by fire, and because of poor protection, Changning was imprisoned for a month and almost died.

Of course, Xiao Ren couldn't be entirely blamed for this matter. Xiao Qian didn't punish Xiao Ren severely afterward, but the other party was very guilty after he recovered from his injury.

For this reason, Xiao Qian felt that Xiao Ren was no longer fit to stay by his side as an errand, so he ordered him to go to Xingfuju to protect Liu and others.

"The subordinates will do their best and will never make any mistakes!" Seeing that Chang Ning and Xiao Qian still believed in him so much, Xiao Ren was very moved, knelt down and kowtowed heavily to them, and followed Qin Xiucai and others.

The security issues of her natal family and Wendao Hall have been resolved, and Xingfu's home is not far from Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, just on Zhuque Street at the root of the imperial city, so she is not afraid of any accidents.

Changning can rest assured to prepare for the westward journey.

Before heading west, the eighth princess's main jewelry had to be delivered first.

Because they used the diamonds from Changning's own jewelry, the Xingfu family handed over the jewelry that the eighth princess needed on time.

Including two sets of head and face inlaid with diamonds, each set includes hairpin hairpin, step shaker, and gold tine comb, as well as Jinsheng, Yusheng, Fangsheng, Caisheng, Yumei, Xueliu, Lantern Ball, Naomoth and Zhucui.

Hairpins are subdivided into: Tiaoxin (mainly decorated in the center of the hair bun), top hairpin (inserted directly into the top of the hair bun to support and fix the hair bun), distraction (mostly inserted in the middle of the back of the hair bun, and Picking the heart and facing each other), covering the temples (the hairpins on the temples, usually two pieces, inserted on both sides of the lower part of the bun), hairpins (inserted on the upper part of the temples, which also plays a decorative effect) and many other pieces.

Each set has at least sixteen pieces of jewellery. After two sets, in addition to diamonds, the matching colored gemstones are worth tens of thousands of taels, not to mention single-piece diamond bracelets, rings, necklaces, belts, etc.

To make jewelry for the eighth princess, don't expect her to pay in full, but the diamonds sent by the eighth princess before are enough for commission, and the happy family can make a lot of money.

When the Xingfu family delivered the jewelry, they did not hand it over in obscurity, but put it in a sandalwood gift tray with great fanfare, carried it by the guards, escorted it with armed forces, and sent it to the imperial city in a grand manner, making the people of the capital along the way overwhelmed. addiction.

"What kind of gemstones are used to make this beautiful and eye-catching jewelry? It's so beautiful!"

"Hey, isn't this the kind of gemstone that looks colorless but glows with colorful lights when the princess got married? Where did the happy family get it?" Other jewelry merchants looked at each other, anxiously guessing...

"This jewelry is really beautiful, and I really want a set. The happy family has made so many for the princess, and I can buy it in the future..." Seeing such a beautiful treasure again, the wealthy woman in the capital We are going crazy, everyone can't wait to want it!
"What, it's already ready and delivered? Isn't it true, diamonds can really be used as jewelry?"

When the eighth princess heard the news, she was really shocked, and then she snorted coldly and said, "If it doesn't look good, I will be angry."

She was still thinking about taking the opportunity to find fault with Xingfu's family, and then, when she saw the jewelry for the first time, she was shocked.

"Okay, so beautiful, so dazzling, is it really made of diamond?"

"Of course it is. I heard from Shopkeeper Su of Xingfujia that they used special methods to make the craftsmen work tirelessly to polish each piece of diamond and pick out the most essential part to make such a treasure. Only This most unique, beautiful and tough gemstone is worthy of your Highness!"

The inner eunuch who was carrying the jewelry had already received a lot of money from Xingfu's family, so naturally he wanted to speak well for Xingfu's family at this time.

"This happy family really has two brushes, and even diamonds can be polished into gems! And the matching gems are also rare and high-quality goods. They are smart."

The eighth princess is not an ignorant person, but she is still overwhelmed by the pure and beautiful luster of the diamond.In addition, the matching stones that Changning chose were all excellent, and the styles and designs were unique. The eighth princess was soon immersed in the world of jewelry, trying them on one by one, completely forgetting the original intention of finding faults.

At the same time, the counters of Xingfujia are almost crowded with customers who want to customize diamond jewelry.

If the eighth princess doesn't leave for a day, the happy family can't sell diamond jewelry, so as to prevent the eighth princess from finding fault again.In this regard, Chang Ning instructed Mr. Su to declare: Some time ago, because of working overtime to customize jewelry for the eighth princess, many craftsmen did not go home for the New Year.

Neither said not to accept orders, nor said to accept orders!

Now the appetite of those who want diamond jewelry is even more lifted!
