Chapter 158: Add makeup and make trouble

Song Ruoxi's life is peaceful and peaceful when she is about to marry, at least on the surface, and no one will tell her about the court and the harem. The two nannies who took the "poison" no longer dared to bother her and learn the rules. The eight palace maids were also trained by the silkworm mother and became more obedient and obedient.

The dowry was being prepared in an orderly and quickly. Song Ruoxi cooperated when needed. At other times, in the yard, he read books, copied scriptures, embroidered flowers, fiddled with musical instruments, and teased parrots.

At the end of July, the Imperial Heavenly Prison sent someone to send Song Ruoxi to Dengying City. On August 17th, the emperor appointed the person who sent her to Dengying City to be Shangguan Moxun, the prince of Luo Qi, the prince of Chengjin, the minister of the clerk of the Ministry of Rites, the minister of Xie Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and 120 followers.

When Song Ruoxi heard that Shangguan Moxun would send him off, his breathing paused for a moment, calmed down and asked, "Madam Qiu, Mr. Luo Qi is just a painter, why would the emperor send him off for a wedding?"

"Prince, although Mr. Luo Qi is still a painter in the court now, he is the young master of the Shangguan family and will become an official sooner or later. This time the emperor asked him to see him off for the marriage, probably to prepare for him to enter the court in the future." Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Madam Qiu has been in the palace for decades and has more or less known about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

"Girl, this is what makes the Shangguan family different from other aristocratic families. They can stand on the court and hold swords in the rivers and lakes." The silkworm walked in, and the black-painted chrysanthemum-shaped tray in his hand was filled with white porcelain cups and bowls and spoons.

Song Ruoxi put down the embroidered purse in his hand and asked, "What is today?"

"Honey juice, turtle, jelly." Silkworm put the tray in front of Song Ruoxi, opened the lid, and a faint smell of medicine was emitted. He put it in a bowl and handed it to her.

After Song Ruoxi finished eating Turtle Pills, he was about to send them out, but wanted to be alone for a while, Yin Qiao came over, "Seventh Girl, the third uncle is here, my wife invites you over."

Ji Wei received a letter from her family and knew that her niece was going to get married, so she came to give her makeup with her things.

When Song Ruoxi entered the door, he saw Ji Yun talking with a man in his thirties with a 70% similar appearance to Ji Yun. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Xi'er has met his third uncle, so I wish him goodbye to him."

"Second sister, I said that Xiao Xier would never forget anyone, and she would never forget her third uncle. Look, I recognized me as soon as I entered the door." Ji Wei smiled proudly.

Ji Yun gave him a funny look, letting him go and be proud. He pointed to a five-layer red sandalwood box placed on the square table and said, "Xi'er, go open it and see, it's all the makeup given to you by your third uncle and third aunt."

Song Ruoxi opened the lid and looked down layer by layer. The first layer was placed with a pair of red gold-clad ruby ​​butterfly double-happy Ruyi hairpins, a pair of red gold-clad tourmaline dragon and phoenix double-happy Ruyi hairpins, silver gilded coral pomegranate-style hairpins, silver gilded dotted green butterfly love flowers paired hairpins. The second layer was placed with plum blossoms, magnolia and other flower hairpins carved from various jade materials, and the third layer was earrings of different shapes. The fourth layer was gold bracelets and jade bracelets, and the fifth layer was a set of pearl heads, with pearls round and emitting a lustery light.

"Xiao Xier, do you like it?" Ji Wei asked.

"I like it, thank you, my third uncle, thank you, my third uncle." Song Ruoxi followed Ji Yunxue and his housekeeper, and he still had some money. A rough calculation, the total amount of these was nearly 20,000 taels of silver. Her third uncle gave her makeup and made a lot of money.

"Second sister, I said that I know Xiaoxier best at home. Look at what I prepared, Xiaoxier said she liked it." Ji Wei shook her head and became even more proud.

Song Ruoxi covered her mouth and laughed, sat beside her and listened to the two brothers chatting. At dusk, Song Sui came back, had supper with Ji Wei, and took him out.

On July 30, Fang Xinyue and the hairpin.

Ouyang attended as the official guest.

Ji Yun took Song Ruochi and Wen took Song Ruoqing sisters to watch the ceremony.

On the second day of August, the Cai family arrived in the capital and rented the three-entry yard rented by the Wei family to marry Song Ruoying, and planned to marry Song Ruohu on the 27th.

Song Ruoxi was about to leave Beijing on the 17th and could not participate in her marriage. She went to add makeup to her in advance. When Song Ruohu saw her coming in, he sat on the soft couch without getting up to greet her, and said with a slanted mouth: "Seventh Sister, Seventh Girl, Princess Yuxian, how can you give up my small courtyard today?"

Song Ruoxi frowned slightly, took the square box handed over by Qinghe, and placed it on a long table, "I'll add makeup to the fourth sister."

"Who, what good thing is it?" Song Ruohu asked with a raised eyebrow.

Song Ruoxi opened the box and placed a pair of red gold-inlaid pearl-inlaided double-happy hairpins.

Song Ruohu saw that the pearls were the size of a thumb, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, and said, "Chunyan, put away the things."

Song Ruoxi came to add makeup to Song Ruohu, neither invited her to sit down nor serve tea, nor even said thank you. Anyway, since the etiquette had come, I didn't want to be too late and said lightly: "Sister Four has a lot of things, so I won't bother Four."

"No trouble, you are here just in time, and I have something to tell you." Song Ruohu said sarcastically.

Song Ruoxi was surprised and asked, "What are the fourth sisters going to tell me?"

"My wife deliberately married me away, thinking that this could hold me back, but God has eyes, so that you can marry further. In this life, you will never come back to Qingyuan City. Madam can no longer support you. Song Ruoxi, you will not have a good ending." Song Ruohu sneered viciously.

Qinghe sternly said: "Shut up, my girl is so..."

"Qinghe, the Fourth Girl is right. I'm married far away and I can't rely on my parents' home. But the Fourth Girl is married soon. A few days ago, I heard my father say he wants to keep Mr. Cai in the capital. At that time, there will be more places for the Fourth Girl to rely on her parents' home." Song Ruoxi sneered twice and approached, "Song Ruohu, if I tell my mother what you said just now, would you guess mother still care about you?"

Song Ruohu's face changed slightly.

"If you know you're afraid, don't say those boring words, it sounds annoying." Song Ruoxi snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Song Ruoxi did not tell Ji Yun what Song Ruohu said, but Chunyan told Ji Yun word by word. Ji Yun, who was already sad, had given Song Ruohu half the dowry.

On August 12, in accordance with the courtesy of Fujian, Song Ruoxi, the county chief, entered the palace and asked the concubines in the palace to add makeup to her. However, the empress dowager was afraid of the troubles, so she ordered the eunuch to send the makeup given by the concubines in each palace to the Song family, so she did not have to enter the palace.

Song Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if she didn't enter the palace. As she said, Kuo Jing sent 100,000 taels of silver notes. A small concubine, with such a big deal, can be seen in the wealth of Fujian.

One after another, girls who were close to the Song family and Ji family came to the door to add makeup. Zhou Siyi couldn't come out, so she sent someone to send a red gold emerald necklace and a pair of jade twisted silk bracelets. Min sent a pair of red gold silk bracelets and a butterfly love flower with beads.

However, Song Ruoxi did not expect Ye Dongyuan to add makeup. It happened that day that day, Song Ruoxi wore the golden-inlaid red agate tassel hairpin that Song Lian gave her last time.

Ye Dongyuan stared at the tassel hairpin, her eyes flashing.

On the second day of June, too many things happened. Song Ruoxi forgot about the hairpin. Seeing Ye Dongyuan like this, he remembered again, raised his hand to hold the hairpin and said, "Miss Ye is very careful about my hairpin. If you have anything to say, it's okay to just say it."

"I originally liked this hairpin. I didn't bring the silver. When I went back and got the silver, your brother bought it." Ye Dongyuan looked at her, "Can you transfer the hairpin to me?"

Song Ruoxi's expression froze and said, "Miss Ye, I'm sorry, this hairpin was given to me by my brother, and I won't forward it."

"No need to be embarrassed, I'll ask." Ye Dongyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Song Ruoxi with a smile, "A good brother should indeed choose a good sister-in-law."

Song Ruoxi frowned and said, "My parents are responsible for my brother's marriage, but I can't control it as my sister."

"The Min family's family is a little lower, but the Min family is in good health and is more pleasing than the county lord Jiarou who has a heart attack."

"What is Min's identity? Why is it compared with the county lord of Jiarou? Is there any difference between high and low? Just say this in front of this princess, just forget it. Don't go outside and go around, so as not to cause trouble." Song Ruoxi didn't know how Ye Dongyuan knew that Min's marriage would be with Song Lian, but she would warn her first.

"I won't be chewing around outside. I just need to go to the front of the Jiarou County Lord to talk." Ye Dongyuan raised her eyebrows and said.

"The county lord Jiarou has a heart disease. You talk nonsense in front of her. She was stimulated and started to get sick. Princess Rongshu will definitely be very grateful to Miss Ye for being too talkative. Maybe she will give Miss Ye a golden red agate tassel hairpin." Song Ruoxi pulled down the tassel hairpin, and the other end of the hairpin was very sharp, poking a hole in the silk scutellaria in her hand. "I just don't know if the hairpin will be inserted into Miss Ye's hair bun, or in Miss Ye's throat?"

A hint of horror flashed in Ye Dongyuan's eyes, "You..."

"There is nothing in the world that people disturb you." Song Ruoxi put the tassel hairpin back on his hair bun, "Miss Ye, for the sake of your acquaintance, I kindly remind you that except for my cousin, my other brothers have not been engaged yet. Don't mess around. If you cause trouble, just forget about your bad luck. Don't implicate your family. Ye Zuoxiang is nearly 70 years old. If you go to the prison for a walk, I don't know if there is any..."

"Don't say anything more!" Ye Dongyuan put the teacup on the table and glared at Song Ruoxi with anger, "You evil girl, just snatch my favorite tassel hairpin, and snatch my marriage."

Song Ruoxi was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior Brother has never said he wanted to marry you. He personally went to the palace emperor to ask for this marriage."

"If you were willing to tell me the Zen meaning in that story, he would have married me long ago." Ye Dongyuan said hatefully.

"Senior brother is familiar with the scriptures. So what if you know the Zen meaning of that story? He only asks you a few more questions and you will reveal it. At that time, the Queen Mother finds that you are cheating, do you think the Queen Mother will let you go? If I don't tell you, it's because you saved you. Not only do you not thank me, but you also blame me. It's really hard to be a good person."

Ye Dongyuan gritted her teeth in anger, "What a sharp mouth!"

"Miss Ye think about it more, don't harm others and be unfavorable to yourself." Song Ruoxi picked up the teacup and posed as a gesture of seeing off the guests.
