Chapter 672: pink pearl
Chapter 672 Pink Pearl
Among the three parties that were hotly discussed, Chunlu was dead, and word of mouth could not enter the underworld; Liu Cheng could not go out and pretend that nothing happened; therefore, all the heat was concentrated on Li Zhaozhou, the minister of households. , roasted him like an ant in a hot pan.
The people of Kang'an don't think it's a big deal to watch the fun, and officials in the DPRK and China are also divided into three groups: those who watch the fun, those who splash water to cool down, and those who add firewood.
Jiang Erye is watching the fun, Qin Tianye is splashing water to cool down, and Zhang Wenjiang is secretly adding firewood. The more the fire burned, the more Zhang Wenjiang became more and more happy, because Li Zhaozhou had no chance of entering the cabinet because of this stain, and he had one less opponent for Zhang Wenjiang. In this way, in the case of Dayefang, he had great luck at the end of the year and was a blessing in disguise. So Zhang Wenjiang was in a very good mood these days. When the Huang family held a banquet, when Jiang Liu and his family went into the Huang residence to see Zhang Wenjiang, he found that there were two smile lines on the corner of his eyes, and he looked amiable and amiable.
Zhang Wenjiang is the son-in-law of the Huang family and the boss of Jiang Erye, so when Huang Tong entertained the Jiang family, he asked him to bring his family back for a lively event. Jiang Erye and Jiang Ling stayed in the front yard, while Ya Zheng took the two daughters and the young son into the Huang's house.
The first thing Yazheng and the children did when they entered the house was to meet Princess Renyang. Since being called into the palace and reprimanded by Wan Sui, Princess Renyang has stopped a lot these days. Seeing the Jiang family who made her emotionally out of control, slapped her son and slapped her mother and concubine, she was also pleasant.
Sitting down after the ceremony is commonplace. Mrs. Huang and Princess Renyang, Mrs. Huang and Zhang Wenjiang's wife, daughter-in-law, and Ya were sitting in the hall gossiping, while the girls went to other rooms to play.
Zhang Wenjiang's daughter Zhang Rongqing and Jiang Muyan were sitting together and whispering. Jiang Liu and Huang Jianyun's sister Huang Liyan and Huang Jianyun's third uncle Huang Limei, who were eight years old, played together. The former is talking about whose girl is engaged, and the latter is talking about eating, drinking, and having fun.
There is a charcoal brazier in front of Jiangliu, in which smokeless silver frost charcoal is burning, and there is a circle of chestnuts beside the charcoal fire. While she was roasting chestnuts with long chopsticks, she listened to Huang Liyan's gossip.
Because of her mother, Huang Liyan has not been out of the house for a long time, so she is very happy today, "These chestnuts were picked up by my eldest brother when he went hunting with his grandfather in the mountains. Liuer, you know, chestnuts are actually like garlic. , several crowded together, surrounded by a layer of shell, with thorns like hedgehogs growing on the shell, it hurts to **** it."
Jiang Liu often goes to the farmhouse, and since she has seen Li before, she raised her eyes to look at Huang Liyan's hand, "Is my sister stabbed?"
Huang Liyan immediately stretched out Bai Nen's little hand to show Jiang, "It was only pricked, but it didn't break, here it is."
There is no wound and nothing can be seen, Jiang Liu urged, "Sister be careful, these chestnuts are roasted."
The maid and Shuqiu of the Yellow House immediately stepped forward to pick up the chestnuts into a plate, peeled them off, and then sent them to the girls. Huang Limei, who was sitting beside her, suddenly said, "Sister Liu'er's eyes are so beautiful and her eyelashes are so long."
Jiang Liu and Huang Limei have only met twice and have no friendship. Jiang Liu was a little surprised by her sudden compliment. Although Huang Limei was telling the truth, Jiang Liu said politely, "Sister Meier's eyelashes are also very long and her eyes are very beautiful."
Huang Limei is also very confident in her appearance, but in front of Jiang Liu her confidence was crushed to scum, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Huang Limei remembered what the princess' aunt had said before, and her heart began to feel uneasy, and she couldn't hide the jealousy on her face. She tentatively said, "Sister Liuer will definitely become the number one beauty in Kang'an City when she grows up? Marry the First Prince?"
Huang Limei's voice was not small, and Jiang Muyan and Zhang Rongqing who were talking on the side naturally heard it. Zhang Rongqing frowned, she hadn't heard that the Huang family intended to let Huang Limei enter the prince's mansion, why did she suddenly mention the eldest prince to Jiang Liu?
Before Jiang Liu and Jiang Muyan could open their mouths to refute, Huang Liyan said, "The marriage of the eldest prince must be decided by Long Live, and the fourth sister is not allowed to discuss it in private. Go and fetch the red sandalwood box on the dresser in my room."
There are so many maids in the house, the second sister wants to call her! Just as Huang Limei puffed up her cheeks, Huang Liyan's face sank, and she reprimanded, "Why don't you go quickly?"
Huang Limei bit her lip and lowered her eyes, turned around to get the wooden box. After she left the house, Huang Liyan explained, "The fourth sister is still young and doesn't understand anything. Sister Liu'er, don't take her words to heart."
Jiang Liu nodded with a smile, "I have no talent or virtue, and I'm not good at anything except eating. My father said that I might stay in the house as an old girl and let him support him for the rest of his life."
This is a joke, but it also shows that the Jiang family has no intention of letting their daughter enter the palace. Huang Liyan understands it, and is also annoyed that the fourth sister is talking too much. Huang Liyan knew that the fourth sister liked the eldest prince, but how could she suddenly mention this in front of Jiang Liu? Who told her what? Huang Liyan took note of the matter and decided to tell her grandmother to inquire after the guests left.
After Huang Limei took the sandalwood box, Huang Liyan took it and opened the box. In an instant, the jewels burst into her face, attracting everyone's attention.
Huang Liyan said with a smile, "These are the pink pearls given to me by the Empress. There are 30 pearls in total. After I got them, I wanted to send them to you a few days ago, but I thought it would be more suitable for you to choose them when you came. Six, take whichever you like."
"Fourth sister, do you have mine too?" Huang Limei couldn't move her eyes. Pink pearls are very rare, and the jewelry made is best for little girls. This box of pink pearls is top-notch in terms of size, luster and texture, so why not make Huang Limei tempted.
Huang Liyan doesn't care about these beads, "Whoever sees it has a share."
"Thank you second sister." After Huang Limei thanked her cousin and the girl from the Jiang family, she urged Jiang Liu, "Sister Liuer, please choose first."
I am neither the youngest nor the oldest here, why should I let myself pick first? Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I don't understand this. Sister Yan can help me choose."
Huang Liyan said with a smile, "The beads are almost the same. You can choose whichever one closes your eyes. Cousin Qing is engaged, so you should choose a few of your favorite ones first. How about putting them on your head when you get married?"
Zhang Rongqing nodded with a smile, "Then I'll be welcome."
Seeing Zhang Rongqing raise her hand to pick pearls, Huang Limei pursed her lips and was very unhappy. She thought that the second sister would let her choose first.
After Zhang Rongqing finished the selection, Jiang Liu and his sister each chose six pieces and put them into the purse and put them into the sleeve pocket. Jiang Liu felt the round beads through the fabric, and was in a bad mood.
After Huang Limei had finished choosing the beads, Huang Liyan said, "The cold orchids in the house bloomed yesterday, how about we go to the conservatory to see the orchids?"
The Jiang family sisters and Zhang Rongqing, as guests and hosts, followed Huang Liyan to the greenhouse with flowers. As soon as they entered the conservatory, six-year-old Zhang Anxue broke free from Huang Tuoyun's hand and ran towards her, "Auntie, there are flowers!"
"Slow down, don't fall!" Zhang Rongqing quickly opened his hand to pick up his nephew, but Zhang Anxue fell to the ground as soon as she finished speaking. Zhang Rongqing lifted his skirt and wanted to go forward to check, but his arm accidentally bumped into Huang Limei.
With a cry of exclamation, the pearls in Huang Limei's hands rolled off her hands, and one of them rolled to Zhang Rongqing's feet. Zhang Rongqing couldn't stand still and jumped forward with an exclamation.
Zhang Rongqing would press on Xiao Anxue if he lunged forward. Jiang Ling, Huang Jianyun and the others were too far away to rush over to save him. Jiang Liushou quickly grabbed Zhang Rongqing's arm and pulled him aside.
"Sister Qing be careful!"
