Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 28

When Madam Xie went to Jingyu Hall to answer the question, the second lady was having lunch.Holding the ivory chopsticks, she picked up a piece of tender wormwood and looked at it twice before throwing it back to the plate. After choosing for a long time, she took a chopstick and put a piece of Longjing shrimp into her mouth, chewing tastelessly.This half-heard appearance made Mama Xie's scalp tingle. The second wife asked her to watch every move of the second and fourth girls, but she didn't say that the two masters would not come forward to stop them when they were pinching each other!Did she do it right or did she do it wrong?
The second lady finally swallowed the shrimp, and without looking at Madam Xie, she just ordered in a cold voice: "Make some decent clothes for her, and you can teach her how to behave for a few days, and don't let her be on Princess Lerong's birthday Disgrace me at the banquet!"

"Mother! Princess Lerong invited me, you can't let that catastrophe take my place!" The second wife didn't specify who she would invite to the banquet, but Jin Xiu, who rushed over angrily and prepared to sue, knew that she was the one the second wife was talking about. Refers to the brocade pattern.Jinxiu was anxious and angry, she slammed open the door and rushed in, jumping up and screaming.

The second lady's face turned dark, Xie Momo hurriedly stepped forward to stop Jinxiu, "What's the urgent matter, second lady, do you have to talk about it while the lady is having dinner?"

"Go away!" For Princess Lerong's birthday party, she started preparing her talents and clothes half a year ago, and the second lady just said a few words to wipe out her half a year's hard work?Jinxiu's eyes were red with anger, she pushed Nanny Xie away, grabbed the second lady's sleeve and screamed: "Mom! Are you my own mother? You actually help that disaster star and not me?"

"Presumptuous!" The second lady yelled angrily, and threw back the sleeves from Jinxiu's hands in annoyance, "How many times have I told you, don't call your mother like a village girl in the market, but if you want to call your mother, you won't be able to remember even if you die? You Do you want to go to a banquet or make a fool of yourself now? Princess Lerong invited the prostitute of the Zhou family in the post, and you are not the only prostitute in the Zhou family. What’s the use of being beautiful for a woman, you have to have a brain. The future will be Ronghua You still have to rely on yourself, no one can help you. You go back and think about it carefully, and don’t come out ashamed if you don’t grow your brain. The second wife lacks everything, except the daughter-in-law!"

When had Jinxiu been scolded like this since she was a child, she was stunned for a moment, she stared blankly at the second lady, feeling that this richly dressed woman in front of her was very strange.Xie Momo's back was also breaking out in cold sweat, the fourth girl was also the second wife's biological child, and the second wife was willing to use her as a whetstone to grind the second girl?

Xie Momo sent the distraught Jinxiu back to her room, then turned around and came to Xuefeng Pavilion to look at Jinwen.Jin Wen gave up his seat politely, and poured tea into her hands, thanking her mother one mouthful at a time.Xie Momo smiled openly, sat down on the head, took the tea and drank it slowly, but kept looking at Jin Wen's expression with stealthy eyes.Jin Wen's eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, very gentle and respectful, Madam Xie secretly sighs pitifully, what's the use of being good-looking, it's just a young lady's body and maid's life, and being hated by her mother, don't even think about getting on top in this life!

Jin Xi didn't mind meddling in other people's business, but she lived inside and outside, so it was hard for her not to know what was going on in Jin Wen's room.Xie Momo walked forward, and Jin Wen came to her with the few pieces of clothes material that the second lady had just given her, and asked her to pick two pieces of material.

Blue silk satin, Zhuanghua brocade, Ronghua gauze, snow silk satin...the most popular fabrics nowadays are colorfully arranged on the bed. Qing Xing and Caiyue stared at them with glistening eyes and salivated, but Jin Xi repeatedly waved her hands and refused. .Holding people's hands is short, the things given by the second lady are not easy to hold!

Jin Wen sincerely gave way several times, but Jin Xi just refused to accept.Qing Xing's eyelids are shallow, and she just wanted to persuade Jin Xi to pick a good-looking one to accept, but Jin Xi glared at her, Qing Xing died down and found an excuse to slip away.After declining for a while, Jin Wen finally stopped insisting, and Jin Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Even if Jin Wen was entirely out of good intentions, she only wanted to have a good relationship with her by giving her the fabric, and had no other purpose.For the time being, she still has clothes to wear, although they are all old, they are better than Jin Wen's half-short coarse cloth jacket, why bother arguing with her.

Jin Xi confiscated the fabric, and Jin Wen didn't leave in a hurry, but instead took out a lot of flowers and discussed with her what to do with this piece of material, and what kind of flower to match with that piece of material.Color matching, style, shirts and jackets, there are dozens of ways to make the hem of the skirt alone, and the brocade pattern is a long talk. Jin Xi listened straight out of politeness, but didn't understand a word like a duck listening to thunder. I tried my best not to yawn.It's not that she's going to the banquet, so what does it matter to her which material to make, which clothes to embroider and which flowers to embroider?Jinwen Nuhong is so powerful and asked her to help make up her mind, I really think highly of her!
Really can't listen anymore, Jin Xi casually fingered two pieces of material and closed his eyes to choose a few tricks, dismissed Jin Xi without a sense of responsibility, then yawned and climbed into bed to take a nap.After waking up, it was already dark, and after dinner happily, just about to wash up and go to sleep, Mother Liu knocked on the door again to borrow a candle, and said that she would cut clothes for Jin Wen overnight.

"Who is it! I borrowed pots and buckets all afternoon, and even borrowed a bed. I might as well move the house to them." Qing Xing muttered angrily, and quickly put the things in the drawer away. All the candles were hidden in the closet, and after opening the door, she said to Mama Liu with a troubled face: "What a coincidence, our girl's candles are all used up today..."

"Caiyue brought back the ones for next month, you can use them first!" Jin Xi dug out the candle from the closet, and walked out with a pink flower soft-soled embroidered shoe and handed it to Mama Liu with a smile.

Mother Liu accepted the candle with an embarrassed expression, and left with gratitude.Qing Xing's distressed face twitched, she closed the door and gritted her teeth in a low voice, "Not to mention taking up half of the room, even the cost is divided in half, are you relying on us?" After muttering, she complained to Jin Xi, "The girl is kind, but she didn't You don’t want your things, it’s hard to get your things back after you give them away. You haven’t got your teacher apprenticeship record yet, how can you have spare money to buy candles? Lighting an oil lamp to read a book hurts your eyes!” He whispered towards the door and took a sip , "Wearing new clothes a few days late will kill you!"

Jin Xi gave her a blank look, who asked you to pull drawers and open cabinets again, to do such stupid things that are worthless in this place, who wouldn't know that you were hiding things through that thin door?It will be a long time to get along with Jin Wen in the future, it is not worthwhile to create barriers over a few candles to make interested people watch the show.What's more, Jin Wen didn't come here to borrow candles, but to test her tolerance. It's easy for people to try out how boring it is!
Under the bright red candlelight between the tips, the colorful silks and satins become more and more gorgeous.The plain white fingers with brocade patterns rubbed back and forth on the soft and luxurious fabric, the slightly raised phoenix eyes seemed to glisten with waves of lake water, and the gentle face seemed to touch not the fabric but the lover's face.Mother Liu looked at the candle in her hand and then at the brocade pattern in puzzlement, and lowered her voice to the lowest level, "Young lady's new clothes, I will have time to cut them tomorrow, so why should you ask someone for something when you just come here... Isn't it a bit ..."

"A little ignorant, a little self-righteous, and a little ignorant!" The gentleness on Jin Wen's face gradually faded, and a faint sadness appeared between her eyebrows and eyes. She looked up at Liu's mother, "Although a candle is small, you can see people's hearts. When I came back, everything in the house was not complete, not even a basin for washing, why do you say?"

Mother Liu looked sad, "It's the girls who don't have the money to tip, so those ladies who are in charge deliberately make things difficult!"

Jin Wen shook her head, her face was as indifferent as a piece of cold jade immersed in water.It was certain that the servants would embarrass her, but if she dared to do it so blatantly, she was ordered by someone.If she and Miss Six got into a quarrel over trivial matters, the servants would be the ones to see the joke, but someone else would be the one to benefit.Who says Miss Liu is stupid, if she doesn't understand the mystery here, she won't take out the candles hidden by the maid.Nanny Gui is right, the more you look at a harmless person, the more careful you should be, Miss Six should not be underestimated!

As the night darkened, the half-burned tallow candle flickered, and Jin Wen pulled out the bird's beak hairpin from her head, and lightly lit the candle.Seeing the head of the most common tin-clad silver hairpin in the countryside turning black from being licked by the flames, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she laughed silently. No matter what, she came back.She never wanted to live the days when rats and cockroaches circled around her after every meal!Even if it's just a straw, she still has to hold onto it, and no one can take away what she deserves!

Jin Wen sat in front of the candle all night, and Jin Xi in the inner room was brought up again by Qing Xing, who had been hanging on her mind for more than a month, and didn't sleep well. Mr. Yun Zong is a teacher apprentice ceremony!It stands to reason that a disciple like her should prepare a generous gift for Mr. Yun Zong on the day of the official apprenticeship, but how can she have the money to buy a gift for Mr. Yun Zong?

It was dawn, and Jin Xi, who had been struggling all night, fell asleep in a daze. He felt that he was awakened suddenly after not sleeping for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mr. Yun Zong coming uninvited, still holding his god-looking face in his arms. The guqin that fears ghosts and sees ghosts cry.

Jin Xi's eyes widened in shock, and it took her a while to digest the information she had just received, "First... sir, you are going to take me to Princess Le Rong's birthday party, and... teach me how to play the piano... you seriously?"

Mr. Yun Zong interpreted Jin Xi's bloody expression as excessive surprise, and he shrugged helplessly, "This old man will take you out to play and see the world. You should work hard when you come back!"

Play with your sister's big head ghost!Jin Xi looked at Mr. Yun Zong's expression of not being grateful but just repaying, and wished he could slap him against the wall so that he wouldn't be able to get it out.Dealing with these girls from the Zhou family is enough of a headache. If she has to deal with a bunch of rich second generations and a bunch of official second generations at the same time, will she still be able to come back in full?Is the old man drunk or is he just too lazy? Why worry about her when he has nothing to do?Who said she wanted to hang out?
Jin Xi protested with both hands and feet, "I'm being punished and grounded, I can't go!"

"The old man can go if he says he can. Let me see who dares to stop you?" Mr. Yun Zong rolled his eyes and ignored Jin Xi, lowered his head and fumbled all over his body, finally took out a red gold invitation card from his back and threw it to her.

Her name was impressively written on the invitation, and it was written by the emperor's eldest cousin, Prince Ping, Jin Xi was completely speechless.She can pretend to be dead so as not to give face to Mr. Yun Zong, but she has to give face to Lerong County, and Prince Ping.That is a serious royal family, and only when her brain is kicked by a donkey will she offend the royal family who overwhelm the sky with her hands.

"You can go, but I don't want to learn how to play the piano from you. I have to prepare my own talents, otherwise I won't go!"If she had to choose between learning piano from Mr. Yun Zong or offending the royal family, she would rather offend the royal family.

Uncharacteristically, Mr. Yun Zong was easy-talking, leaving a dog biting Lu Dongbin's ignorant eyes, patted his ass and left.Jin Xi and Qing Xing pressed their hearts and let out a breath at the same time, as if they had escaped a catastrophe.

Caiyue, who doesn't know what's going on, is full of question marks, while Jinxi, who is full of worries, has no time to answer her questions.Every guest at Princess Le Rong's birthday party had to perform their talents. She couldn't find the key in singing, couldn't bend down when dancing, couldn't draw with a brush, and couldn't use her fingers when playing the piano.The only feasible way is to plagiarize some poems to make up for it, and also guard against Mr. Yun Zong, a big-tailed wolf.

Jin Xi closed the door of the room and pondered alone for seven days and seven nights before taking a car to Prince Ping's Mansion under the envious eyes of everyone in the Zhou Mansion.
