The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 206 The wedding dress was destroyed, visit again
After seeing Yun Shen's attitude, Yun Xi really didn't pay attention to those people from the Northern Wei Dynasty who claimed to be from the hidden sect. She was busy finishing the checkout and year-end ceremony, and she also started to help Du Zhoushi prepare things for human relations.

The most popular items in the Du family are Qianhe ointment and various essential oils, which are very popular as New Year gifts.However, Yun Xi basically only gave a bottle of Qianhe ointment to Yanling, Yang Yurong, the Lu family and a few generals.

As for the others, more essential oils were given away, and this was also their first New Year in the capital.

At the same time, as the princess, Yun Xi was eligible to enter the New Year's banquet in the palace. In the past few years, she turned down because she went home to worship her ancestors.Since he stayed in the capital this year, he couldn't be turned away no matter what.

Chu Xiyuan is quite reasonable. As early as when he ascended the throne, he arranged the New Year's banquet at noon, so that the kings, grandchildren and ministers who were invited in the evening could stay in his home for a family reunion.

After Yun Xi had breakfast, she changed into the court dress of the princess, and put on a heavy crown. Her crown was inlaid with dazzling rubies and six large oriental beads were embedded in the middle.There are two peonies in front, eight stamens and 36 green leaves.

The entire crown can be said to be resplendent and resplendent, and it is heavy to wear on the head, so Yun Xi usually does not like to wear this crown.But to attend the palace banquet, you basically have to dress well.She could only grit her teeth and put it on, and changed into a red straight collar double-breasted shirt, which was embroidered with exquisite and luxurious golden clouds, clouds and phoenix patterns.

When going out for banquets, Yun Xi usually brings Li Qiu with her.

Winter banquets are usually held in plum gardens. After all, it is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom. You can enjoy the flowers while eating.It's just that in this kind of weather, no matter how delicious something is, when it is put on everyone's table from the imperial dining room, it will lose its temperature, and it will feel cold in your mouth.

Yun Xi had already been reminded by Yun Shen in advance, and before she came out, she ordered a bowl of noodles to pad her stomach, and touched the chopsticks if the dishes on the table were pleasing to the eye. Anyway, coming to the palace banquet is mainly a kind of honor, and It's not for eating.Xue Yingying who was sitting next to her was in a daze, and Lu Yiran who was not far away was yawning, making Yun Xi speechless for a while.

Your Royal Highness, no matter how young and energetic you are, you are strong enough if you still come here before the palace banquet and look like you are overindulgent!
Sensing her staring gaze, Lu Yiran blinked at her.

But whether he is favored or not can be seen at the banquet.For example, Yun Shen, at the beginning of the banquet, Chu Xiyuan asked someone to send over a piece of lychee meat that Yun Shen likes to eat.Those who have this kind of treatment can be counted on their fingers, so it's no wonder that even the eldest prince showed an expression of envy and jealousy.Ever since the incident with Liu Weishuang, the First Prince has been completely left out in the cold.

The same treatment as Yun Shen, and the third prince Chu Ling, different from the first prince and the second prince who have been making troubles, the third prince gives people the impression that he is low-key and worry-free, and he has done a lot of practical things after moving into the household department .Chu Xiyuan specially ordered two dishes that he usually likes to send to him, making Chu Ling surpass Yun Shen and become the focus of everyone's attention.

As for Yun Xi, I don't know if it was due to her credit or because of Yun Shen, Chu Xiyuan ordered her a dish of Longjing Shrimp which she liked very much.Speaking of which, she also cooked Longjing Shrimp dish at home, but it was not as delicious as the one in the palace.The main difference is on Longjing.

The dragon well used in the palace is the best dragon well offered as a tribute from all over the world, how can it be compared with the one bought by her at home.Although her family also has a few taels of tribute tea, they keep them for drinking or entertaining guests, so naturally they are reluctant to take them to cook.

Chu Xiyuan smiled, "The best Longjing shrimp should be made from Mingqian Longjing new tea." Then he turned to Li Ren, the servant, and said, "Remember to remind the imperial dining room to prepare it and send it to the Ming princess. "

This is a rare grace, as you can tell by the envious and jealous eyes of the people around her.Yun Xi naturally smiled and thanked her.

The dishes rewarded by the Holy Majesty are different from other dishes on the banquet.The dishes for the banquet are all prepared in advance, and the heat dissipates early when they are served, and the stomach is cold after eating.But the emperor's rewards are different, they are all freshly made and warm.

Yun Xi picked up a few chopsticks, and it was indeed better than the ones made at home.With a book of warm hot wine, she finished a plate of Longjing shrimp.

In addition, she ate noodles before going out, so her stomach was almost full.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back one after another. Yun Xi estimated that many people might have to have extra meals at that time.

Yun Shen did not go back to Du's house with Yun Xi, and it was not easy for him to run to his fiancée's house all day long under the watchful eyes of everyone.Even if he came to Du's house on weekdays, he would basically take advantage of the high wind and dark night.Besides, although his relationship with Yun Mu was very cold, he had to stay at Yun's house in this kind of life.

After returning home, Mrs. Du and the others were already full. She asked Yun Xi how the meal was going in the palace, and if she wanted to eat more. The dishes in the kitchen were still warming on the stove.

Yun Xi is not hungry now, so she naturally refused.At the same time, she found that Shuangjiang and Yindan were winking at her, with some anger and anxiety between their eyebrows.

Yun Xi's heart sank: Could something have happened?
She found the connection, went back to the room, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Dan's face was full of remorse, "Girl, your wedding dress has been destroyed."

Yindan is usually responsible for Yun Xi's clothes and jewelry. She thinks that she has a duty-bound responsibility for this incident.

Yun Xi thought that she couldn't do embroidery work, so she specially invited Lin Wanniang, a famous embroidery master in the capital, to embroider her wedding dress.Lin Wanniang only received one wedding dress a year, and she made one for at least three months.There are several high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who want to get married every year, and many people want to ask her to help.The reason why Yunxi was able to grab this year's spot was because Lin Wanniang's daughter was burned by fire when she was a child, and her body was covered with large burn scars. After Yunxi sent two bottles of Qianhe Ointment, Lin Wanniang pushed the others down. She accepted Yun Xi's request, even without wages.

Yun Xi's heart sank. She and Yun Shen got married on the sixth day of March. If the wedding dress was damaged, there would only be two months to catch up with work, so there was no time.

Yin Dan saw her eagerness, and quickly added, "Maybe the thief was worried that we would find out in advance, so he only destroyed the details, but I accidentally discovered it when I was sorting out today."

Yindan opened the box and took out the radiant red wedding dress. The silk of the dress was as smooth as water, and the gold-embroidered peacocks on the cape were lifelike, and the eyes were full of aura, as if they were about to come alive at any moment.

Yin Dan pointed to the sides, pursed her lips, and said in a voice of uncontrollable anger, "Girl, you see, the embroidery thread of this dress was cut off on purpose, and then loosely hooked up with the same red thread. You don’t know it at the time, and you put it on directly, I’m afraid that the loose thread won’t be able to support the heavy wedding dress at all, and it will come loose directly.”

The people behind the scenes had vicious intentions. If Yindan hadn't checked today, when something went wrong on the wedding day, Yun Xi wouldn't even be able to get married.Moreover, having an accident on the day of the wedding is a very unlucky omen. If someone provokes someone with a heart, I don't know how many gossips will arise at that time.

Yun Xi held back her anger to appease Yin Dan, "No, I can't blame you for this. If you weren't careful, I would lose face by then. You have made a lot of contributions. After a while, we will ask Lin Wanniang to help clear this up. Just re-sew the thread."

What really took the time was mainly the patterns on the wedding dress, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.

Yin Dan said: "It's just that I don't know when the other party destroyed the clothes. There are people in our house all year round."

Because the matter was not as serious as imagined, Yun Xi quickly calmed down, her eyes shone with the light of wisdom, "No, there is still a period of time, they have a chance to destroy it." She paused, and said: "I'll go During the time at Changming Mountain, Liqiu and Shuangjiang were directly brought there. You can’t always be in the room on weekdays.”

It is quite easy for the other party to take advantage of this opportunity to attack.

Yun Xi sighed and said, "This was my mistake, and it has nothing to do with you. I should have locked the box with an impenetrable lock."

She bent down and checked the lock of the box.Sure enough, as she expected, there were traces of being lifted.

Yun Xi took a deep breath and tried hard to think about the black hand behind the scenes. When she came to the capital, she made a lot of friends, but she also offended a lot.Suspects flashed through her mind... Maybe it wasn't her who had a bad relationship, but the other party just didn't want her to marry Yun Shen smoothly.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that there were so many suspects that she couldn't find them at all.

Madan, I'm so upset!She must find out this person!

Yun Xi's eyes fell on the wedding dress again, and suddenly she had a clue in her heart.She bent down and gently twirled the thread of the wedding dress - the wedding dress sewn by Lin Wanniang, the fabric was provided by Yun Xi, but the embroidery thread was made by Lin Wanniang herself.

The silk thread she made by herself is one-fifth of the embroidery thread on the market in thickness, and it can fit even the smallest pinhole, and its toughness is much better than ordinary embroidery thread, it is very difficult to tear off, and it feels very soft soft.Such outstanding embroidery threads make it easier for Lin Wanniang to embroider good works.

The person who destroyed the wedding dress, in order to prevent being spotted at a glance, used embroidery thread from Lin Wan's family.

Yun Xi ordered Li Qiu, "Bring Lin Wanniang here, I want to ask her, who bought this silk thread with her in the past six months."

Lin Wanniang made a limited number of embroidery threads and sold them to a limited number of families. The suspects must have come from these families.

Li Qiu was selected by Yun Xi to control the intelligence department, he was also smart, and immediately understood Yun Xi's meaning, "I'll go there now."

Yun Xi felt a little pity: It's a pity that in this day and age, it's impossible to detect the black hand through fingerprint inspection.

No, there is still a way.

Yun Xi looked at Shuang Jiang and Yin Dan, and sighed, "Is the treatment of our Du family not good? They are always bought so easily."

Even at night, the Du family still has people guarding and patrolling. Now there are still Yun Da and others present. If thieves from outside sneak in, how can they hide the movement.Unless it's a thief...and a thief in her yard.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi felt a little sad: Although she didn't become a sister with her servants, she was always kind and friendly, the work in her yard was easy, and the treatment was good, she thought she had never let them down.

Shuang Jiang blurted out without thinking, "The girl is the best person in the world." The girl rescued her from the nightmare, never looked down on her, and taught her martial arts knowledge, she was the best person in the world to her.

Yin Dan also nodded. At that time, the girl didn't dislike the scar on her younger sister's face and bought her and her younger sister. Since then, she and her younger sister have never suffered.

Of course, Yun Xi trusted the two of them.

Yun Xi took a deep breath, put away the rare weakness, her eyes remained firm, "Gather all the people in the yard together."

Yin Dan asked curiously: "Miss, how do you plan to find out this thief?"

Yun Xi, who had calmed down her emotions, was as confident as ever, "Since the other party was able to come in without disturbing everyone, on the one hand, he was very skilled at picking the lock; Dan, call them together, and I'll see who has martial arts."

None of the rough-sweeping maids in the yard said they had kung fu when they bought them.Anyone who deliberately hides his martial arts and sneaks into her yard must be a traitor.

Because Yunxi's yard is big, Yunyao and Duoduo lived with her again, and a lot of flowers and plants were planted in the yard, which resulted in quite a lot of rough-sweeping maids on her side, a total of eight.

Yin Dan nodded and immediately called everyone over.Yun Xi usually sympathizes with these maidservants' miserable lives, and treats them very kindly.Even when he was in a bad mood, he never vented his anger on the servant girl.So after this group of maids were summoned, no one thought that Yun Xi was asking for help, but it was just that it was Chinese New Year, and red envelopes were about to be given out, but all of them were filled with joy.

In front of them, Yun Xi showed a gentle smile, and said: "During the Chinese New Year, I was planning to hold a banquet and invite all my friends over." Yun Xi thought of the reason in just a split second.

"There's a show where you shoot darts."

Yun Xi blinked, and instructed Shuang Jiang, "Take out the apples in the cellar."

Shuang Jiang immediately took out the apple, while Yun Xi directly took out her ten thousand gold dagger, picked a piece of wood, and whittled it. Soon, she cut out the outline of a dart.When Shuang Jiang came over with a bag of apples, Yun Xi had already peeled three.

In order not to hurt anyone, she made the dart's head blunt.

Yun Xi smiled slightly, and said: "I plan to choose two people. If I do well, I need two second-class maids by my side." She promised directly, and the eyes of many maids lit up instantly.

Everyone can see how well the maids around Yun Xi are treated. Shuang Jiang, Yin Dan and others are brought up by her to be the same as the deputy lady. They are proficient in reading, accounting and martial arts.Many people proposed to marry them before, but these few were unwilling to leave Yun Xi, so Yun Xi directly refused.

For these rough-sweeping maids, this is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step.

Yun Xi picked up an apple and placed it on Shuang Jiang's head, holding a homemade dart in her hand. Shuang Jiang stood very firmly, the apple was motionless, and had no tendency to fall.

Yun Xi said in a calm manner: "If Apple can still remain motionless when I shoot the dart, then I can qualify."

Yun Xi shot the dart in her hand, aimed at the apple, and controlled her strength just right.Frost's Landing remained motionless, the dart hit the apple, and the apple fell directly to the ground.

Yun Xi bent down to pick up the apple, looked at everyone with a smile, "Look, the head of this dart is blunt, even if I can't be accurate, if I hit someone, it won't hurt."

When Yun Xi said this, everyone was eager to give it a try. If their lives were not in danger, everyone was unwilling to give up this opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Yun Xi lowered her gaze, the corner of her mouth still smiling.Since the other party tried every means to get people in, he definitely hoped that Nail could achieve a higher status.Being a second-class maid is closer to her than a rough-sweeping maid, and it is easier to count her.

As expected, all eight girls nodded in agreement.

One by one came forward in turn, and Yun Xi carefully watched their walking posture to judge whether the other party possessed martial arts.

The most courageous maid came on stage first, with a big smile on her face, she couldn't wait to put an apple on top of her head, and looked at Yun Xi expectantly.It's a pity that people who have not received training, even though they know intellectually that there is no danger, still involuntarily dodge when the dart is thrown, and the apple falls directly to the ground.

The first fails, the second fails...

Some couldn't even hold the apple steady, while others, like the first maid, couldn't help but dodge the darts.

In the end, only the fourth maidservant in green and the seventh maidservant in pink were successful.

Judging from the walking posture of these two maids, both of them can kung fu.

Yun Xi didn't expect to catch two fish in one catch. The two should have helped each other to cover up.

The two of them didn't know that they had been spotted by Yun Xi, and their cheeks turned red with excitement.

Yun Xi still had a decent smile and looked at them gently, "What's your name?"

"I'm Xiao Qi."

"My name is Xiao Jiu."

Yun Xi felt a little ridiculous, even the name was a code name?
She looked at Shuang Jiang and Yin Dan, and nodded slightly.Shuangjiang and Yindan understood, one left and one right, walked to the side of these two people, they held Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu's hands at the same time, not letting them move.

Such a turn of events obviously shocked the other maidservants—the behavior of Yin Dan and Shuang Jiang had nothing to do with friendship at all.

Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu were even more frightened, their acting skills were very good, and they were still looking at Yun Xi with innocent and sad eyes, "Girl, did we do something wrong?"

Yun Xi looked cold, "I also want to know who guided you to destroy my wedding dress."

"Miss is wronged!"

"Miss, we don't know anything."

The two hurriedly shouted injustice over there.

Yun Xi sneered and said: "You two people with martial arts, but you came to my yard incognito to be rough sweeping maids. You really wronged you. What wrong do you do? When the time comes, someone will interrogate you and stop their mouths!"

Anyway, the deeds of selling their lives for these two people are in Yun Xi's hands, even if she kills these two betrayers, no one can blame her for anything.It's not that Yun Xi is ruthless, but that she really doesn't need to have indifferent sympathy for those who betrayed her and deliberately framed her.

Both were suppressed by Yin Dan and Shuang Jiang, tied up and imprisoned.Shuang Jiang also asked Yun Ba and Yun Jiu to guard the two, and then send them to the future son-in-law for interrogation.In the round of interrogation, the people under Yun Shen are senior experts.

After Yun Xi explained that the reason why those two people were taken away was because they were traitors and deliberately destroyed Yun Xi's wedding dress, the other maids couldn't help but feel relieved—they knew how important the wedding dress was to a woman, Qi and Xiaojiu, everyone spurned their betrayal of the Lord, and said that they were not from the same country as them.

Yun Xi knew that these people were innocent. In fact, Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu and two maids were recruited in October because of insufficient manpower.

She glanced at the remaining six servant girls, and said, "You guys have also been frightened today, everyone go to the cashier to withdraw two taels of silver."

The monthly money for rough sweeping maids is [-] wen, and it is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for them to get two taels of silver. All of them are smiling, and they don't have the anxiety and nervousness of the previous moment.

Being able to pull out the nail smoothly, Yun Xi's mood also improved a little.

After waiting in the house for more than half an hour, Li Qiu brought Lin Wanniang over.As soon as Lin Wanniang arrived, she said anxiously: "Let me see how the wedding dress is?"

Every wedding dress is sewed by her carefully, and designed according to the appearance and temperament of each bride, and no one is exactly the same.It was for this reason that Lin Wanniang's wedding dress was sewn relatively slowly.For Lin Wanniang, every wedding dress is her daughter.

When she heard that the wedding dress was damaged, she immediately put down her work and came over.

Knowing that she really loves embroidery, Yun Xi showed her the wedding dress.After Lin Wanniang checked it carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's not as serious as I imagined." She paused and said, "I'll come over to you in the third year of junior high and sew it up. It won't take a day to sew it up." it is good."

Yun Xi raised her eyes and looked into her eyes, and said sincerely: "I want to know who bought this kind of silk thread from you, and the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be from these people."

Lin Wanniang sighed, and said, "I only made this silk thread in April this year, and there are ten people who bought this silk thread."

"But I can probably guess who it is. The other nine are all big families in the capital. You know that I often deal with high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and I know them more or less. There is only one man who came in October, and he is very dressed. At first glance, they bought a lot of silk thread from me.”

Lin Wanniang's silk thread was already quite expensive, even if she was a rich family, she would not buy this specially for her daughter to practice.Basically, I bought them for the wedding of the family girl or as a gift for some kindness.

Lin Wanniang said: "Thinking about it now, the other party is indeed a mystery. I also asked him which family he belonged to, but he only said that he came to the capital from other places, but I heard him speak with a capital accent."

"If he appears in front of me again, I will definitely recognize him. He has thick eyebrows, and there is a mole under the left eyebrow."

Lin Wanniang said: "By the way, I remember that he has a faint smell of Su Hexiang."

Yun Xi thanked her and said, "Can you tell me the names of the other nine families?" Although the man was the most suspected, but Yun Xi has always been considerate in his work, and the other families still have to investigate.

Lin Wanniang nodded, and directly wrote the names of each family on the paper, including the quantity they bought.

Yun Xi thanked her solemnly once, and it was not easy for Lin Wanniang to come all the way because of her words, she had to help sew the wedding dress in the third year of junior high school, Yun Xi took out a bottle of lavender essential oil and a bottle of lavender from the warehouse. She gave Lin Wanniang a piece of makeup brocade.

Lin Wanniang's most important thing besides embroidery is her daughter, and this essential oil is for her daughter.

Lin Wanniang was really happy, and left after accepting the gift.

Yun Xi rubbed her temples, with a slightly tired expression on her face, this kind of thing broke out on New Year's Eve, it really makes people feel bad.

Yin Dan comforted her and said, "The kind of people who can only resort to such dirty tricks will definitely do it in the end."

"Well, at least we have a direction to find someone." Yun Xi said lightly, sliding her fingers lightly across the surface of the rice paper, "Investigate the companies above."

Li Qiu wrote down the list, turned around and went to make arrangements.

Yun Xi rummaged through her warehouse and found a small lock. Although the lock looked small and exquisite, it was full of holes and twists and turns, and even ten wires couldn't pry the lock open.

She directly used this lock to lock the box containing the wedding dress.

After finishing all this, when Yin Dan came back, she coughed and said, "Girl, Feng Qingcheng and the others have sent gifts to the door again."

Yun Xi felt that the depression caused by the ruined wedding dress was swept away, and she coolly complained: "It seems that they have suffered a lot from Yunshen." Otherwise, they would not have compromised so quickly and came to her up.

Yun Xi was actually quite curious about what gift they would give this time, and she could tell that this hidden family in the Northern Wei Dynasty had a solid family background.After thinking about it for a while, Yun Xi could understand.For the past 40 years, it has been controlled by Prince Na Xun. As a prince, I don't know how much benefit Prince Xun has used his power to seek for himself.As a result, when Prince Xun died, these undisclosed properties fell into the hands of this group of people.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi immediately became upset.It's her family, Yun Shen, who does the coolie, okay?This property should have belonged to Yun Shen.

Especially thinking back to Yun Shen's cameo appearance as a genius doctor in order to pull the hidden door at the beginning, the breadwinner of the family, Yun Xi's mentality became more and more unbalanced, and she wanted to air them out.The more important reason is that they can't correct their identities.

In modern times, the person in charge of a branch company went to the headquarters, where he proudly stated that he was working hard for the branch company and insisted on better treatment from the headquarters.Such a person in charge has been fired long ago.

Yun Xi straightened her temple hair, and said, "Let them warm up and warm their bodies. I'll just wait."

Yun Xi's words were nice, and it was for their sake, but anyone who knew her temperament knew that she held grudges the most, and this was to keep them waiting on purpose.

Yun Xi slowly changed her hairstyle and mood, and then casually inserted a pearl and jasper step into her bun.

Feng Qingcheng and the others also waited for at least half an hour at this time.

When Yun Xi walked out, she found that Feng Qingcheng had improved a lot this time. If it was before, she would have already shown a dissatisfied expression.

Today she was wearing a hazy-colored skirt with wide sleeves embroidered with bamboo leaves, and a light-colored brocade-trimmed wool cloak outside, a little powder and daisy would be enough to make her look radiant.In terms of looks alone, Feng Qingcheng does have the capital to laugh proudly at the girls in the capital city - the girls in the capital city are already the highest quality group Yun Xi has ever seen.

Seeing her coming, Feng Qingcheng's eyes flickered, she stood up, and saluted, "I've seen Princess Ming."

Yun Xi slid past the box next to her without any trace of her gaze, and took it back, "Sit down."

She looked at Yin Dan and blamed, "Why don't you make tea for the guests?"

Yin Dan pleaded guilty, "I didn't think carefully."

Everyone could see that the two of them were just talking about the scene, and Feng Qingcheng knew even more that the girl in front of her was just trying to show them off.Her heart was full of humiliation and grief.It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.She could endure even the days before, let alone now.

They really miscalculated Du Yunxi's position in the sect master's heart before.In the past few days, they tried to contact the door owner time and time again, but all they got was indifferent rejection.Until the people from Yinmen passed her a word, saying that because they were disrespectful to the wife of the door owner, the door owner had a bad impression of them.

Feng Qingcheng thought about it for several days, and finally prepared a thicker gift again, and went to the door of Du's house again.

She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes concealed the rolling injustice in her eyes: She couldn't figure it out, the girl in front of her was greedy for money, indifferent, arrogant...but the sect master listened to her and believed her, treating her like a jewel. .

Feng Qingcheng's voice was very humble, "Because we didn't know Princess Ming well last time, we had a bad attitude. I'm here to apologize to you."

Yun Xi just took a sip of her tea and continued to listen to what else she could say.

"I know that the sect master has misunderstood us and doesn't want to see us." Feng Qingcheng paused and said, "We wrote a letter to the sect master, and everything we wanted to say is in it. I hope the Ming princess can read it. For the sake of our loyalty, I will hand this letter to the sect master."

Yun Xi nodded, took the letter that exuded the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and said calmly, "I will hand it to Yun Shen." Then she continued drinking tea.

Seeing that she had accepted the letter, Feng Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Today's New Year's Eve, we don't want to bother you for too long, princess."

After Feng Qingcheng achieved her goal, she left soon.

Yun Xi looked at the gifts she sent this time, and directly picked up the top one and put it in the box.Open the box and there is a mirror inside.Different from the fuzziness of the bronze mirror, this mirror illuminates people very clearly.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows—is this a glass mirror?

No, that's not right, if it was the glass mirror that I used in my previous life, I should be able to clearly see even the tiny pores on my face.Judging from this luster and brightness, it should be a mercury mirror.

Yun Xi immediately lost interest. Mercury is poisonous, and she would only use this mirror if she was stupid.If it is taken for a long time, the body will definitely have problems.

Yin Dan eagerly wanted to reach out to touch the mirror, and his tone was full of admiration, "How can it be so clear!"

Yun Xi quickly slapped her hand off, and said seriously, "Don't touch it, this mercury is poisonous."

Shuang Jiang's pretty face immediately pulled down, "How dare they poison the gift!"

Yun Xi held her back, and said to the point: "The reason why this mirror can see so clearly is because it is coated with a layer of mercury. I don't think they know this, but they just think this gift is rare, so they sent it up. "

She didn't think that Feng Qingcheng would be so stupid as to deliberately give her a poisoned mirror. If she was found out, she would definitely end up miserable.

Yun Xi directly put the lid back on and continued to look at other gifts.This mercury mirror, it's better to return it when the time comes.

This box is full of boxes, two boxes of rubies, one box of sapphires, one box of amethysts, two boxes of turquoise, one plate of coral beads, three boxes of emeralds, two pieces of sable skins, two boxes of ivory wooden combs...everything has a price. Not cheap.What Yun Xi likes the most are several paintings and calligraphy - such as "Clouds and Mountains", "Mountains and Flowing Water", "Cold Rivers"... These more than ten paintings and calligraphy are all made by celebrities, and they are priceless.

It seems that Feng Qingcheng really bleeds a lot this time.

Yun Xi put away these things, as well as the letters, and only waited for Yun Shen to come over to show him.

After finishing these things, the servants had brought hot water, Yun Xi took a shower and washed her hair, and then put on the new year's dress that was made more than a month ago.This year the Du family is celebrating the New Year in the capital, and they have received a lot of posts. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, they have to go there at least five times. Clothes are also the face of a person. Naturally, Yun Xi can't wear them repeatedly, so she and Du Zhou's and others , this year, it is rare to make eight sets of new clothes directly with a large amount of money.If it weren't for the fact that he made a lot of money last year, Du Zhou's heart would be very distressed.

After washing up, she went directly to the main hall.Two radish heads immediately rushed towards her, one on the left and the other on the right, each pulling on one of her sleeves, and said in a childish voice, "Sister, red envelope."

The two words "red envelope" can be said in a correct way.

Du Zhou looked at the two boys reproachfully, and said to Yun Xi, "Don't bother with them."

Yun Xi had already prepared red envelopes for them, and each of them gave a pouch with a piece of gold in it.The two children still can't distinguish the amount of money, they are just very happy when they see a gift, even if they only give a copper coin, there is no problem.

But these two are also her cousins ​​after all, so Yun Xi naturally wouldn't be so casual.

Not only them, but the two younger sisters, Yun Xi, also prepared gifts.

The Du family's New Year's Eve dinner is basically hot pot, and then there are many dishes prepared around it. It depends on whether you want to eat hot pot or vegetables.

Snowflakes continued to fall outside. It was cold outside, but very warm inside. This warm atmosphere, combined with the feeling of fullness, formed a drowsy atmosphere.

Du Lei and Du Rui had already closed their eyes and nodded their heads.Anyway, you have to keep it until you are ugly.She simply let the two children sleep on the couch and whispered something to Yunyao and Douduo.The content is nothing more than what type of man the two girls like, so that it will be convenient for her to find a suitable marriage in the coming year.Li Yushi was also very interested in this topic, and the two couldn't help talking more and more vigorously.On the other hand, Yunyao looked hopeless.

Yun Xi sympathized with the two younger sisters very much, casting loving eyes from time to time.

When it was time to be ugly, Mrs. Du drove them back to the house to rest. After all, they had to set off to visit Dai's house tomorrow.

Yun Xi returned to her room. When she was in the main hall, she was still a little sleepy, but after walking all the way, the drowsy bug was blown away by the wind, so she simply read a book.Thanks to the luminous beads, the whole room was brighter than candles and oil lamps.

Yun Xi couldn't fall asleep by herself, and she wouldn't let Yin Dan and the others force her to hold on, so she sent them to rest directly.

After reading half of the book, I was finally sleepy.Yun Xi put down the collection of essays in her hand, and was about to close the window, when she froze in the next second.

Yun Shen was dressed in a moon-white robe, standing in the middle of the yard, with snowflakes falling on his hair, the cold feeling on his body was even worse, and he was independent from the world.

Sensing his gaze, he twitched the corners of his lips, walked leisurely, and arrived in front of Yun Xi in the blink of an eye.

Yun Xi frowned, "Come in."

Yun Shen also didn't go through the door, but came in directly through the window.

Yun Xi raised her head and wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulders, and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Yun Shen's voice was a little lower, "Shouldn't you be together with your relatives during the New Year?" For him, the relatives he recognized were Yun Xi, Little Uncle and Uncle Huang... Those members of the Yun family were not counted at all. .

Yun Xi couldn't help but want to reach out to touch his hair, and she did so, Yun Shen shook her hand instead - he stood outside for a long time, logically speaking, his hands should be cold, but Before that, he had already used his internal energy to warm it up, so when Yun Xi held it, he only felt warmth.

Yun Xi pursed her lips, Yun Shen always showed his considerate side in these small things, there are only a handful of people who have this kind of treatment, and she is one of them.

She thought of Feng Qingcheng who visited in the afternoon, and withdrew her hand, "By the way, they came to look for me again in the afternoon. They sent quite a lot of gifts this time."

Then he found the letter and handed it to Yun Shen.

Yun Shen opened the letter and looked at it at a glance. There was a chill on his body, and it was obvious that what was said in the letter made him very unhappy.

The letter was not too long. After Yun Shen read it, he fell into deep thought, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Yun Xi didn't bother her, so she just took the book she had read halfway before and continued to flip through it.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Shen's cold voice sounded, "Yun Xi, do you want to be a queen?"
