Chapter 1534: Tiger Girl 18
We added water once or twice, chatted for a while, and after about two moments, the selection came out.
Princess Jialin said it was a masterpiece and difficult to judge, so she set one first-class and two second-class. The first-class ones naturally belong to the Lord of Jiashun County, and the second-class ones are the old plum paintings of the fourth lady of the Zhou family, the Minister of Public Affairs, and the fine brushwork fans of the second lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
First of all, it was still a plum blossom gold hairpin. After the Lord of Jiashun County received it, after thanking him, he glanced at the noble girl behind with a bit of pride, and then asked the maid next to him to put it away.
The second grade is red agate plum blossom gold earrings. The small agate is inlaid with a plum blossom pattern, which is very delicate. After receiving it, the two of them saluted and thanked them.
The Lord of Jiashun County won first place, so naturally no one dared to say anything. As for the two second-class people behind them, even if they deserved their title, they still couldn't help but feel bitter in private. One is a young lady from Qingshui Official in the family, and the other is a concubine, so it doesn’t matter if she is good at painting.
Next, everyone was given a well-made purse, which made the ladies happy again.
Xining held a white satin purse embroidered with plum blossoms. Every purse was the same, so there was nothing to choose from. Unexpectedly, in this era, there is also the Sunshine Award, which makes everyone happy.
By this time, it was almost time, but the Lord of Jiashun County refused to leave, and still stayed by the side of Princess Jialin, talking about other things.
Although Princess Jialin had a slight smile on her face and responded from time to time, it could be seen from her eyes that she was already very impatient.
The Lord of Jiashun County doesn't want to leave, and the other noble ladies don't dare to say that they should leave first.
Xining thought for a while and stood up: "Princess Princess!"
Princess Jialin looked over: "Miss Zhao, what's the matter?"
Xi Ning said calmly: "My daughter has been in poor health. The princess entertained her very well today. I want to take advantage of this moment to have a good time, so I would like to resign."
Seeing how sensible she was, Princess Jialin's lips curled up: "Miss Zhao was too polite. She originally wanted to stay longer, but forgot about the time. It's my fault. Go back and ask General Zhao how he is doing for me. ”
Then he ordered the people around him: "Go and see her off for me. Hurry up and ask someone to bring the carriage and horse. Don't let Miss Zhao catch the wind at the door."
"Thank you, Princess!" She bowed slightly, then turned and took two steps back, then turned around and left.
As soon as she left, Zhao Yingxue immediately stood up and resigned. Princess Jialin didn't say much, she just smiled and nodded.
Zhao Yingxue sped up a few steps and followed her. After hesitation, she reached out her hand to help her: "Third sister, this road is slippery, be careful."
But Dongmei over there refused to let go, and Zhao Yingxue could only retract her hand angrily and follow her honestly.
When we got to the door, sure enough the carriage had already arrived. If there was Princess Jia Lin, the people below trotted all the way to the door to report the news.
But her carriage came over, but Zhao Yingxue's didn't come yet.
Zhao Yingxue said considerately: "It's cold today, third sister should get in the car first."
"Wait until your carriage arrives. It won't be too late." Xining looked back. Not far behind, the noble ladies came over one after another. It seemed that upon seeing them leaving, the other noble ladies also stood up and left. It's time to leave, who would want to live like the Lord of Jiashun County?
Worried that she would be bullied again, Zhao Yingxue's eyes turned red and she quickly lowered her head, deliberately turning her head away.
She is really a lovely girl, with such a pitiful appearance as a weak girl, no wonder it makes the third prince's heart flutter. It's a pity that this trick can't fool her eyes. I was moved, but not to this extent.
Although Aunt Xu is a concubine, the three of them are not neglected in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the mansion. When the eldest sister got married, although the dowry was not huge, it was enough to be worth that of an ordinary official lady, and it was paid by the father-in-law.
He turned to look around and saw "that" carriage again, this time parked in a different place. Even if there is no sign on it, the color and pattern of the cloth can still be distinguished. Xining couldn't help but smile. That's no wonder. Regardless of whether the third prince could see it clearly or not, Zhao Yingxue should be the one who had the deepest impression today.
Seeing that the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion had not gotten on the carriage, but the concubine was beside her, the servant in charge of the carriage at the door immediately went to call the driver of another carriage from the General's Mansion.
When the other ladies arrive, the two of them can get into the carriage.
No one called them or said goodbye. Xining didn't look back and got on the carriage. Since others didn't shout, there's no need to turn around and say goodbye, as if you were trying to fawn over others.
After getting in the car, Xining looked through the gap in the curtains. Zhao Yingxue turned sideways and gave a slight salute. The other ladies either looked elsewhere, pretending not to notice, or nodded slightly as a return salute.
Zhao Yingxue immediately got in the car. The two cars drove away one after another, and there was a lot of excitement behind them. Many maids shouted, asking their coachmen to come over as soon as possible. The ladies who arrived one after another, those who had no time to leave, were waiting at the door for the car to arrive.
Back at the General's Mansion, Xining got off the car and entered the door and asked: "Where is my mother?"
The doorkeeper's response: "Madam and Aunt Xu are in the main hall. Madam said she will go when the second lady comes back."
Zhao Yingxue followed behind and heard it, and the mandarin duck beside him responded: "Second Miss, go right away."
"I happen to have something to do." Xining walked towards the main hall.
The doorman glanced at the door and saw that Mrs. Zhao actually didn't want the third lady to go. After the third young lady came back from an outing, she would go directly back to her own courtyard whenever she went to report to someone.
Zhao Yingxue's eyes showed a little surprise, and she immediately lowered her head and followed silently.
Arriving at the main hall, the mother-in-law pulled up the thick door curtain, and a burst of hot air rushed out.
Xining walked in and saw Mrs. Zhao sitting in the middle with a small hand stove on her lap, and Aunt Xu sitting on one side. The smoker in the middle of the room was filled with charcoal and was burning hot.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw her, she immediately shouted: "It's such a cold day, what are you doing here? Come and sit here quickly."
Then he called someone to get a charcoal basin.
"You don't need to take the charcoal pot. If it's too hot, you'll get sick easily if you get cold or hot." Xining stood there, waiting for Dongmei to untie the belt of her cloak, take the cloak away, and walk over with the stove in her arms.
Aunt Li took a small stool and placed it next to Mrs. Zhao, asking her to sit down.
Aunt Xu stood up after she entered the room, and then sat down after she sat down.
Zhao Yingxue's cloak also went away, and she stood beside Aunt Xu obediently.
Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand and touched her hand. She felt that it was not cold, so she felt relieved: "The snacks from Prince Duan's Mansion have been delivered. I said you like them and you still remember your parents. So Princess Jialin sent someone Send me a copy.”
"Where are the snacks?" Xining asked.
Mrs. Zhao laughed out loud: "It's still being kept well. I'll have someone take it to your yard later."
"Why did you send it to me? This is for my parents to eat. I have already eaten a lot there." Xining told the truth. He ate everything and even finished two plates.
