Chapter 13 How to write the word lovebirds 1
Smiley woke up after listening to Jun Xing relayed Chang Yue's words, holding the jade crown in his hand froze for a while, pouting: "Do not come, I do not care! I still want to finish this and go to the mountain to look for him, but now I'm pulling back!"
Jun Xing was amused to hear that this Chang Yue had really figured out the lady's temperament. However, it was not easy to keep her here.
After the marriage of Lanling Jin was finished, the royal family started to prepare for the crown ceremony of the third young lady.
Lan Ling Simone could not stay longer, and has now returned to the capital. Chang Yue left a letter to the king, saying that she would not appear. Lanling Simone did not publicize it much, and only invited a few local dignitaries as the guests of honor. Smile this crown ceremony was done very cold.
The presiding officer was sent by the Ministry of Rites, an old woman who will soon resign from her post, although she has gray hair and a dignified appearance, but she can't control the tremor of her limbs when she gives her clothes and ornaments.
Xiaoxiao do not know how afraid she held those clothes ah, shoes shake ah shake fell to the ground, for fear of starting from scratch. Eyes looking at her trembling to hold that pile of things, ears listening to her mouth is also staccato one by one read those plus clothing words, heart is really a serious test.
To the three plus ceremonies, smile and change on the crown, and walk out.
When the sun rises, the hall lights and shadows patter, she slowly step out, plain color weaving flower train layer drag on the ground, such as clouds clusters, vermillion reddish-rimmed sleeve windless automatic.
The gorgeous clothes and high crown, hanging eyes and nose, look peaceful, the corner of the mouth hooked out a light arc.
She walks in style, kneeling on the ground, like a lotus flower blooming in front of the king.
It is, the young man in the exquisite place, only shadow words clear clothes than snow.
The king slowly said: "My son is an adult today, I hope you see the wise, self-improvement, the heart is ambitious, shining lintel."
After the king finished his instruction, the third young lady should have replied, "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" Unexpectedly, after a long time of silence, the third young lady was still kneeling upright, not saying a word.
The crowd could not help but look at each other.
The King's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were puzzled.
The third young lady suddenly said in a loud voice, "Lanling Yue Gion!" She bowed down.
The crowd did not care about this small discrepancy, but Jun Xing, who was standing by the side, knew that the young lady had said this on purpose.
She still didn't think she belonged here.
The king's admonition, Lanling Yue agreed to it, but she did not.
Xiaoxiao became a crown rite and began to prepare the hairpin rites of a few of the great servants.
The men's hairpin ceremony in this dynasty is similar to the women's crown ceremony, the ceremony is relatively simple, such as not a person of noble status, the ceremony is more abbreviated. However, as a servant with a special status, the hairpin ceremony is often accompanied by earrings in addition to clothes, hairpins, and shoes.
The ears are pierced on the spot, and the earrings are added by the master himself, which means that he is officially hired as a member of the family.
If it is a rich family, in addition to the hairpin on behalf of the identity, often also spend some money on the earrings, because this has been considered to be the person into the room of all the value of the bride price.
Jing Ying Shen Bi age have been and hairpin, just waiting for the smile into the crown ceremony and then the ceremony, spring and the original is still two months short, smile ready to do it together.
She is very important to these three people, personally go out of the house for the three people to do this earrings dowry.
The consumption of gold, silver and jewelry in this dynasty, to the city's royal relatives, rich merchants are mainly. Lanling belongs to the big county, the city's gold and silver store, antique shop, bead store, jewelry store is also very developed. This kind of store is belongs to the upper class store, engaged in this industry, is mostly the luxury merchants or nobles part-time.
When the Lanling County, there are Shen family gold and silver crossover store, Leyou Square in front of the Deng family seven treasures store, Dr. Li bridge Zhang family gold and silver store, the official alleyway Sheng family bead store, Liu family bead store, etc. for the city's famous store.
These gold and silver, beads and cui trading place, are the building is majestic, broad frontage, looking at the strict. Among them, Deng family seven treasure store is the royal family has always been the place to buy gifts, the king's house of Junxingdao with the transaction, moving that is ten million, and in recent years each time to buy are Junxing pro, and this Deng family boss friendship is good.
This time the smile is alone to come, will these famous store one by one to see once again, those golden, bright shiny things, actually no half into her eyes.
Large stores are not into the eyes of the law, she will be along the streets to find a small store seems to be.
But in the west of the city right outside the door of the West Street to find an inconspicuous store. Facade is very small, the display of gold and silver jewelry is only dozens of samples, compared to the large store just looked quite shabby.
Xiaoxiao lifted her steps and entered, a man in his thirties answered with a smile on his face, "Miss, what do you like?"
Xiaoxiao asked, "The jewelry in this store are all made by your family's workshop?"
That boss nodded and said yes.
Xiaoxiao added, "Can I meet the silversmith of your store?"
The boss was stunned and didn't agree for a moment.
Xiaoxiao then touched out two pieces of paper and placed them on the counter, saying, "I just want to ask if these drawings can be made?"
The boss took a look, but it was a drawing of three earrings.
People earrings have danno, penannular ring, fall three categories, these three drawings are not classified as these three, pattern pattern novelty not to say, that fixed in the ear seems to be a mechanism buckle.
The boss looked at the pattern for a long time, without making a sound.
Smiled and said: "this spring buckle I will not draw decomposition diagram, your master silversmith craft is very good, if I explain to him in detail, should be able to do it."
The boss said, "Wait for me to ask, miss, can I borrow these diagrams for the time being?"
Smiley nodded in agreement. The boss moved a stool over and poured her some tea, asking her to wait for a moment before taking the drawings and turning into the back hall.
Xiaoxiao sat on the stool, surveyed this small store, only to see that although the front is not big, the goods are not much, but clean and tidy, the layout is simple and elegant, stay is quite comfortable.
After a tea time, the boss with drawings out, full of smiles, said: "can do, can do."
Smiley said, "That's good. I'll pay the deposit first, and pick it up in seven days."
The boss said, "No need for seven days, three days will do."
Xiaoxiao was a bit surprised, and then smiled, "Good, good, then I'll come pick it up in three days. I'll send the inlaid things on it later."
After a few moments, Xiaoxiao put in several pieces of jade pearls to be set in the earrings over, the boss one by one to open a bill to receive.
Xiaoxiao left the store square walked a few steps, the boss suddenly gasped and chased after: "Miss go slowly, you just left the beads a little problem."
Then follow him back to the store to see.
But it turned out to be ready to set in the earrings on a pair of South Pearl, one of them should be because slightly larger, had been slightly faceted. Now although the double beads of general size, but that processed beads in the bright place to see, the luster is slightly reduced.
The boss said: "This pair of beads do not know how much money Miss spent on silver?"
Smiley said a number.
The boss said, "Miss is too expensive. The luster is damaged, so you can subtract twenty taels of silver."
Xiaoxiao saw that the boss knew his trade and was honest, so she asked him to go with her to exchange the beads. That boss, however, shook his head and said, "My eyesight is no longer good, and this is not something I can see, it is something my youngest son can see."
"Then will you ask your son to help you make the trip? I'll pay for his carriage."
The boss had a difficult look on his face, "Miss, this is not a matter of carriage and horse fees, but ......"
Xiaoxiao then remembered that in this dynasty, there are few unmarried men who show their faces except for those with low status, so it is difficult for her to say so. Then said, "inconvenient even if, I go to change by myself can also."
Turning to go, the boss said behind him: "Miss buy pearls can go to Sheng family pearl store, although the price is slightly higher than half a percent, but will not bully customers, beads color are also top quality."
Smile thanked the boss, went to change the beads sent back not to mention.
When she went back to her house, she ran into Jun Xing standing by the rockery, staring blankly.
Xiaoxiao rarely see him lost in thought, can not help but be surprised, tiptoe behind him, want to scare him.
Suddenly, she heard Jun Xing sigh quietly, "Third Miss."
Xiaoxiao was stunned, her hand and paw stopped in mid-air, and she reluctantly answered, "Hey!"
He thought that this person is really powerful, his footsteps are so light that he also taught him to find out.
Jun Xing turned back fiercely, but with an expression of having seen a ghost.
Smiling wondered, "What's wrong with my face?" On one side, he leaned over to the side of the fish pond and took a hard look at it.
Jun line stared at a long time Fang slowed down, reluctantly smiled and said: "Where there is any problem, Miss three recently good things in a row, red light, people look at the heart of the joy side is there."
Smiling happily, she laughed and said, "That's right, solving the three of them at once is really a big thing in my mind."
Jun Xing smiled faintly and turned his head without saying anything.
Xiaoxiao stared at him for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed, "Jun Xing, I just realized now that you haven't even performed the hairpin salute yet!"
Jun Xing was stunned, and was about to say that the hairpin ceremony was for men between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, so although he was a little late, he was not out of line.
Xiaoxiao already shouted, "You haven't performed the hairpin ceremony yet, then, isn't it true that you can't get married yet!"
Junxing's face "swish" red, frowned and said: "Junxing did not marry a wife and have a daughter as a lifelong plan, please miss do not worry for me."
"Uh ......" Xiaoxiao was also speechless for a moment.
The two were relatively speechless, a koi carp in the pool popped its head up and spat out a bubble, diving down again.
After a long time, Xiaoxiao period, "That ...... Junxing ...... you do not want to marry, but, but ...... Shenbi he is to marry ah. "
Jun Xing sniffed, couldn't help but sneer, "What does him marrying have to do with me?"
"That ...... cough." Smiling awkwardly, always embarrassed to say that the two of you get too close, that is not quite right.
Thinking about it all, I feel that it should be my own thoughts that are not pure, but why is it that during the days of preparing for the hairpin ceremony, his face is particularly stinky.
Also, at least we're all so familiar with each other, and we usually bump into him once in a while, why is his expression and tone so awkward?
Xiaoxiao remembered that she had even done something stupid because of the two of them.
That day she couldn't help but ask Chun He, "Chun He, what's wrong with my face lately?"
Chun He carefully surveyed her and said, "Third Miss has been full of energy and glowing lately."
She wondered, "Then why are Jun Xing and Shen Bi not looking at me?"
Chun He was stunned, "Butler Ren is busy, but Sinking Bik is here in this courtyard, so Miss can go and ask him at any time."
After all, Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to ask Shen Bi directly, so she went to ask Jing Ying again.
Jing Ying said with a smirk and not a smile, "That must be because Miss has become so good looking lately that they are too embarrassed to look at her more."
Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said in annoyance, "You're saying that I used to be ugly so they didn't have to care so much right?"
Jing Ying smirked, "I don't know about that."
Next to him, Jing Ming said grudgingly, "That's naturally because they only now know how good Miss is, and knowing that Miss is beautiful and dignified, they don't dare to get as close as they used to for fear of desecrating Miss."
Xiaoxiao looked at him with surprise, this kid, even learned the word "blasphemy", oh, promising!
On second thought, she angrily said, "According to you, yesterday after lunch I went to Jun Xing and casually pulled him for a walk, he immediately shook off my hand, taught me a lesson with a stern face, and scolded me with his head sweating, was that also because he didn't dare to blaspheme me and did it on purpose?"
Jing Ying Jing Ming two people glared at her for a while, each don't turn their heads, one straight rolled his eyes, one red-eyed, no matter how much more teasing refused to speak again.
Now Xiaoxiao is considered to have finally figured out, the original not only Jingying, even the youngest Jingming know that the two of them hate themselves.
Thinking of this there are a few points of discouragement, mouth said: "Forget it, I go back there are things to do busy, first go."
Jun Xing, however, asked behind him, "Jingying his heart belongs to, you ......"
He thought Xiaoxiao will be Xiao Lin income in the house to worship as a husband, must be some arrangement, is to have this question.
But this is heard in the smile in the ear but feel clearly in warning her not to Jing Ying, suddenly feel incomparable injustice: I'm like so colorful people?
Annoyed, she dropped a sentence: "I don't need you to mind my business!" He hurriedly ran away.
Junxing stood still for a moment and turned his head in the opposite direction.
Next to the flowers and trees rang, Lanling 娬 walked out from behind the camellia bushes, his lips hooked up with a faint smile.
