Chapter 104 Choice
But it is not easy to go into the palace to find Princess Fuyang to play with.
Let’s not talk about whether the posts are handed in or not. If they are handed in, they still have to review the female officials in the palace. Of course, a decent noble woman like Shi Zhu usually won’t neglect the female officials in the palace, but the more this happens, the less money you can get, otherwise others will think that your family is stingy and can’t be a human being, and they are unwilling to pay even this little money. Even if it is reviewed for you, it will give you a look.
When the post is handed to the nobles in the palace, it depends on whether the nobles in the palace have any other arrangements and whether they are willing to see you. After entering the palace smoothly, you will have to give rewards along the way.
Like Miss Bo Liu, why do everyone like her to enter the palace? It is because she receives a lot of rewards every time she enters the palace. Like Miss Wu, why isn't she willing to enter the palace? It is just that she doesn't want to deal with these people in the palace.
But Shi Zhu felt that what her nanny said made sense. She would rather pay more than stay in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to support Wang Xi.
She took advantage of the evening to greet the lady and talked about this.
The grandma naturally hoped that Shi Zhu would have a closer relationship with the palace, the better. But this time, I don’t know who said something in the grandma’s ear. The grandma asked Shi Zhu: “Can you bring Yan Mei Together? I thought, the marriage of Ning Mei Together has been settled, and Yan Mei Together has to take a good look. If she could talk to Princess Fuyang, others would look up to her.”
Shi Zhu felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. Thinking of refusing, the light from the corner of her eyes accidentally glanced over Chang Yan. Seeing that her eyes were bright and bright, she thought that among the sisters of the Chang family, she could only show off. If she could really marry a good family, she might be able to help her in the future. She immediately changed her mind and nodded in response with a smile.
Chang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The fourth prince of the Xiangyang Marquis' Mansion, Jie Feng, has entered the palace these days and is said to be accompanying the fourth prince to edit books. Princess Fuyang has a good relationship with Shi Zhu and the fourth prince. Every time Shi Zhu enters the palace, she will go to see the fourth prince. Maybe she will meet Jie Feng at that time.
Her marriage is indeed going to be handled. If she can't leave any impression on Mr. Jie these days, she is afraid that when her mother asks someone to tell her about marriage to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion will refuse directly.
This may be her last chance.
After leaving the Grandmadame, Chang Yan took a few tricks she had made to thank Shi Zhu.
Shi Zhu was very satisfied with Chang Yan's attitude.
Like her, she has made a lot of things for Chang Ning, but she has never eaten a piece of Chang Ning's snack. Now Chang Ning's marriage has been settled. Although Mrs. Hou said she was detained to do needlework at home, Chang Ning never came to see her again. Isn't there really no chance?
Maybe Chang Ning felt that he would not get any benefits from him, so he simply let go?!
Shi Zhu sneered.
I became more attentive when Chang Yan was doing things.
Chang Ke knew that after Chang Yan's marriage was decided, it was her. But she didn't look like Chang Yan, and she had a goal. If she had ever liked someone in a vague way, then it would be Chen Ying. But she knew that even if it was a sequel, she would never marry Chen Ying.
She couldn't help feeling a little anxious. When she accompanied Wang Xi to check the banquet, she couldn't help but get distracted.
Wang Xi is the kind of person who is regarded as a friend by her. She will definitely actively understand other people's situation. If someone who is excluded from her circle of friends and does not speak, she will never take the initiative to ask more questions.
Chang Ke is obviously her friend.
She pulled Chang Ke to the camphor tree next to the yard to speak.
Chang Ke was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to. She felt that no one was suitable for this mansion except Wang Xi, so she did not hide it and told Wang Xi all her thoughts.
Wang Xi was very embarrassed and said, "I don't have a plan for my own affairs yet, so I can't help with your affairs. However, if anyone comes to the mansion to propose marriage, I can help you inquire carefully. It's better than blind marriage and mute marriage, which is much better than just a matchmaker."
During the contact with Wang Xi, Chang Ke knew that the Wang family was very powerful and thought that Wang Xi's words were very reasonable. The two stood there and talked for a long time. Hua Xiangrong's tailor came over to measure Wang Xi and Chang Ke.
Wang Xi happily pulled Chang Ke to the flower hall.
It was too hot and they met guests in the flower hall.
This time they want to make some Su-style Xia Shang.
Hua Xiangrong brought new fabrics to herbs, and the special recommendation was a summer cloth blended with hemp and silk from Feng Ji, Huzhou. It has the softness and smoothness of silk, and the breathable and lightweight linen.
Wang Xi suddenly wanted to meet the head of Feng Ji, Huzhou.
It seems that their family always has its own special innovations in fabrics, and such a family has great potential.
After Wang Xi finished making clothes, Wang Xi asked Wang Xi to bring a message to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper would definitely go to investigate and report to her brother.
She put it down after she finished it. After the jewelry from the Silver House was delivered, the banquet was about to come.
Wang Xi went to the Grandma's place first and invited her to come and be a guest.
The grandmother gave her a few small decorations as a gift for her to move in. After a few words of warm voice, she politely refused. Then Wang Xi went to Mrs. Hou, the second and third wives. Of course, they also politely refused, either giving tea sets, flowers and trees, or giving embroidery as gifts.
But when he arrived at Chang Ning, Chang Ning didn't know if he was too harshly detained by Mrs. Hou or was particularly dissatisfied with his marriage. The young girl who was young and young, had a pale face, had a few small acne on her forehead, and had anger on her eyes: "You are all girls who have not been engaged, and there are people who have delivered things in big and small carriages. I won't be offended. You have fun, don't offend your future sister-in-law by accident. Just get married and be worn with shoes."
Wang Xi was so angry that she was so angry that she was kind to treat her. Is it a bad thing?
"The second lady was so tired of embroidering wedding dresses in the house." She retorted without any hesitation, "Don't take out the things when you recognize your relatives. When you take them out, they are all embroidered. Mrs. Hou will have to give you a dowry to a maid who knows how to needle and thread. It is said that maids who knows how to needle and thread now are not cheap, and their value is thirty taels, not to mention the monthly rate."
It is ironic that she may not be able to afford it.
This just hit Chang Ning's heart, and she jumped up: "You little man..."
Wang Xi left without waiting for her to finish her words.
But she had not yet walked out of the main courtyard where Mrs. Hou lived, and the news spread throughout the Marquis' Mansion in Yongcheng as if it had wings.
Everyone thought Wang Xi was stupid and knew that she was not able to tolerate anything, but she didn't expect her mouth to be so powerful.
Chang Yan was about to get married, and felt that she followed Shi Zhu to the palace on the day when Wang Xi treated her. She was a little inappropriate because of her concern. She was afraid that Wang Xi would get angry and blame her. She would not have to deal with it, but she was afraid that she would spread to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, so she simply hid in the Grandma's place, saying that she was afraid that she would not have complete etiquette and would be laughed at. She asked the Grandma to tell her what to pay attention to when entering the palace.
The grandma thought that Chang Yan had just followed her to the palace once when she was a child. Unlike the two sisters of Chang Ning, who could follow Mrs. Hou to the palace to see each other after two or three years. She felt heartbroken and hugged Chang Yan and started talking.
Wang Xi did not meet Chang Yan, so he left a special message and went to Miss Pan's place.
Miss Pan was very proud of her face. Not only did she agree to attend the banquet with a smile, she also took out the clothes she was going to attend the banquet and asked Wang Xi to help her see: "I don't know if it will overlap with any sister? I don't know if it can restore some image if I change the jewelry at that time."
Wang Xi laughed and said, "The clothes overlap, don't you see who is more beautiful? I always thought Sister Pan didn't have to worry about these things!"
Miss Pan knew that she was polite, but she was still very happy. She kept Wang Xi for tea and had a few snacks before letting her go.
Chang Yan took the initiative to go to Liuyinyuan to explain afterwards, but Wang Xi no longer had any good feelings for her.
When the day of the official banquet, it started drizzling before dawn. After dawn, the rain stopped. The green trees washed by the rain were particularly refreshing and energetic, and even the temperature seemed to be a little lower.
Ginkgo said happily: "I chose this day well, even God is helping us lady."
This was the first banquet held by Wang Xi after he entered Beijing, and everyone in the Wang family hoped that everything would go smoothly.
Wang Xi wore a pink plain matte made of Feng Jixin fabric, a white thread-picking skirt, a pearl hairpin, and a row of jasmine flowers. It was fresh like a dew-covered summer flower, shimmering but playful, making it easy for people to get close to.
Chang Ke came earlier than others. She also wore clothes made of Feng Ji's new fabric, but she wore goose yellow skirt, embroidered with pink calamus branches, lapis lazuli earrings, and silver silk stamens. She was dignified and beautiful, quite calm, and looked like a sister.
The two looked at Shichen and went to the Chuanhuamen to welcome the guests together.
Wang Xi brought a dozen strong women to put Dongbing in various parts of the yard and arranged a little maid who was fanned.
The earliest guest to come was Lu Ling.
She wore a grass-green silk skirt, hosta and lilac flowers, which set off her small face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and lively expression, like a flower fairy.
Wang Xi and Chang Ke liked it very much.
She got off the carriage and ran towards the two of them with her skirt, and said, "I'm not late, right? I just said it earlier, but Madam Jiang said it was not good to say it was too early."
Lively and straightforward, who can't love such a little girl?
Wang Xi and Chang Ke hurriedly took her hand and asked her if she had eaten breakfast, whether she was hot, and whether she should go to the flower hall to rest and drink some sour plum soup and take a rest.
Lu Ling smiled and said, "I'll just accompany my two sisters here to welcome guests? Sister Wu Er is the most punctual, I see that she should be coming soon."
Unexpectedly, the second one came was Miss Bo Liu.
She held a handwritten copy of the travel notes of the previous dynasty to give Wang Xi a gift, and said with a smile: "You said you have been to many places with your family, and most of them are also a person who loves to go out. This book is my grandfather's beloved thing, and I'm not willing to be buried with you. She said it was to be kept for the descendants and descendants in the family to read it carefully. I think you must also like this kind of book. A few days ago, several maids in the family took turns to copy one. I hope I guess it's not wrong, you will read it and like it!"
