Blessed

Chapter 11 Adding Makeup to Big Sister

Yu Zhu'er woke up at Chen's hour, and could hear Bai Shao whispering behind the wooden landscape painting screen, "The imperial decree came in the morning, and the eldest girl was chosen as the prince's side concubine."

Bai Ji asked in surprise, "Really, this is a good thing."

What a good thing this is, even Yuzhuer knows that life will be difficult after the eldest sister is selected as the prince's side concubine, let alone the dispute between the queen and Concubine Mu, the concubines in the palace need to compete for favor, without favor, there is nothing, Their Jiang family is still a down-and-out family, which makes the elder sister how to deal with herself in the palace, so Bai Ji is stupid and sweet, thinking that the side concubine, what a noble status, must be excellent.

Bai Shao snorted twice, and poked Bai Ji on the forehead, "What are you talking about, life in the palace is so easy, it's better to marry a well-matched family..." Before saying anything else, Licorice pushed the door open, He glared at the two little maids, "Hurry up and see if the little master is awake, why are you chewing your tongue here?"

Although Bai Shao Bai Ji likes to whisper, but he doesn't chew his master's tongue. What he talks about is some strange things in the capital or gossip from the family of the hairpin family, especially from the mouths of the little maids in the second room. Standing outside in the corridor and chatting a few words, Yuzhu'er also liked to listen, and knew a lot about the family in Shangjing.

Licorice went to the bed and found that the little master was awake, looking at her with black grape-like eyes, Licorice couldn't help but turned back and glared at the two little servant girls, and scolded, "Miss doesn't even know she's awake, she's not happy yet!" Some came in with hot water for the girl to wash up."

Bai Shao and Bai Ji stuck out their tongues, Ma slipped out and brought hot water in for the little master to freshen up, today Licorice gave the little master a gold-embroidered tunic, with a moon-white cross-collar gown on the outside, and a smoky and floral skirt on the lower body, A pair of pink embroidered shoes are decorated with two white silk balls.

After feeding Yu Zhu'er to eat Zao Shan, Licorice asked, "What does Fourth Miss want to do? I will accompany you."

Yuzhuer shook her head, sat on the bed in her clothes and asked Licorice eagerly, "Where is my mother?"

"Earlier this morning, the mansion received the imperial decree, and the wife went over to put on makeup for the eldest girl. Does the girl want to come too?" Since the girl became enlightened, she has been very attached to the wife.

"I'm going too." Yuzhu'er stretched out her hand towards the licorice, asking her to hug it.

When Licorice picked up the little man, Yu Zhu'er suddenly pointed to the mahogany box on the bed, "Take this too."

"Girl, this is..." Licorice was surprised, this box contained the string of Buddhist beads given by Master Guangji, could it be as she thought, the girl planned to...

Yuzhu'er pouted, "Take it."

Licorice didn't dare to disobey the young master's wishes, she leaned over and took the mahogany box and handed it to Bai Shao, letting Bai Ji look at the courtyard, and walked towards the big room with Yu Zhu'er in her arms.Pass through Chaoshou Corridor and pass through several courtyards before arriving at the Waterside Courtyard of Dafang.The reason why it is called Waterside Courtyard is because there are several large vats in the big house courtyard, where rare ink lotuses are planted every year, and the scenery is moving, but this is only the previous situation.

The servant girl from the Waterside Courtyard went in and passed the sound, then she came out and led the three of them into the main hall. There were already many people standing inside, including the female relatives, and the Mu family was also there. Magnolia also came over.

Yulan's cheeks were still a little swollen, and she sat there sluggishly, when she heard the noise, she looked up and found it was Yuzhu, she bit her lip and said nothing.

"Why is Jiao Jiaoer here?" Mrs. Mu got up and took Yuzhu'er from Licorice's bosom, and then sat down beside the armchair, stretching out her hand to caress her daughter's tender cheeks.

Yu Zhu'er then turned her head and pointed to the mahogany box in Bai Shao's hand, and said with a smile, "Add makeup to Big Sister."

Licorice and Bai Shao were startled, they didn't expect that the little master really gave the big girl the beads to add makeup.Naturally, Mrs. Mu also recognized the box, she was stunned for a while, then quickly came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Since Jiao Jiaoer has decided, let's add makeup to eldest sister."

Others didn't know what was in the box, they thought it was Yuzhu'er's small jewelry.

Lin waved her hand and said softly, "Thank you Yuzhu for your kindness, but I don't need anything, your big sister knows what you want."

Yuzhu'er insisted, and said softly, "I gave it to big sister."

Mrs. Mu asked Bai Shao to pass the box to Mrs. Lin, "Jiao Jiaoer gave it to Yuning, sister-in-law can take it."

"You child." Lin couldn't refuse any more, and accepted it with a smile.

Yulan thought of her big sister's box of jewelry and the news that Yuzhu had untied the Nine Links a few days ago, so she hummed softly, not daring anyone to hear her.

Aunt Hong poked her head to look at the mahogany box, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "I don't know what makeup our fourth girl gave to the older girl, but the little one knows the deep love between sisters." Then she turned her head and asked Yuzhu Son, "Little Yuzhu, what makeup do you give your big sister? Is it the golden beans you usually hold?"

Tao Shi cast a glance at Aunt Hong, feeling extremely disliked by her.

"It's not golden beans." Yuzhu'er said sweetly, "Jiao Jiao doesn't have golden beans either."

These words made everyone present laugh, Mrs. Mu gently scratched the tip of Yuzhu'er's nose, "Jiao Jiaoer, that means Mother didn't give you golden beans." Then she raised her head and smiled with Mrs. Lin, "Sister-in-law, why don't you look at it?" See what's in there."

Mrs. Lin didn't take it too seriously. She really thought it was a rare item held by the little girl's family. She smiled and opened the mahogany box. After seeing the contents clearly, she took a breath and looked at Yuzhu and Mrs. Mu in surprise, "This , This can’t be done.” She really didn’t expect Yuzhu to give the string of Buddhist beads to Yuning for makeup.

"What's the matter?" the old lady sitting at the top asked.

Lin took out the Buddhist beads in the box, "Here, Yuzhu gave the Buddhist beads to Yuning to add makeup, which can't be done."

"Hiss." Aunt Hong took a deep breath and said nothing, she looked at the Buddhist bead in Lin's hand eagerly, thinking to herself, if this thing was given to Yulan, she would definitely be able to find a family of hairpins for Yulan to marry in the future.

"This, this..." The old lady was also dumb, beckoning to Yu Zhu'er, and asked Mrs. Mu to carry the little jade man in front of her, "Why did Yu Zhu think of giving this to the eldest sister for makeup?"

The female family members present know the meaning of this prayer bead, and know how this prayer bead can help the eldest girl, and maybe one day it can save the eldest daughter's life.Not only to the eldest girl, but to any girl present, maybe you can get a good marriage in the future.

"Master's things must bring blessings. Jiaojiao just wonders if it can bring blessings to the big sister." Yu Zhu'er is only three years old. Can't stop stuttering.

Lin's eyes were red, she held the Buddha beads and did not speak, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

The old lady was the same, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Yuzhu can think clearly, is this thing really going to be given to your eldest sister?"

"Think clearly." Yuzhu nodded cautiously.Of course she knew that this thing was useful to her eldest sister, but it was of no use to herself.

If this string of Buddhist beads was worn by Master Guangji for decades, it would not be of much use in the palace, it is just a sacred object of the temple.However, Master Guangji once saved the life of the late emperor, and that was when the late emperor was in his teens. He was practicing outside and did not want to be bitten by a poisonous snake. up.

If the first emperor was gone at that time, even the current Emperor Ruiwu would not be able to give birth, so this string of beads is of great significance to Emperor Ruiwu in the palace. If something happens to Yuning, these beads can definitely save her life .

As for why Yu Zhu'er knew about the late Emperor and Master Guangji, it was also because Bai Shao Bai Ji heard about it from the little maid next to her after she got the Buddha beads, and she kept muttering about it in the verandah for a few days Son, her ears can almost hear cocoons.

And this matter is not a secret in the capital, most people know about it.

Yuzhu'er felt that this thing might save her eldest sister's life, and it would be useless to leave her here, so it would be better to give it to her eldest sister.

Mrs. Mu also knew the meaning of the Buddhist beads to the eldest girl, and also knew that leaving the Buddhist beads might help Jiao Jiaoer find a marriage with a hairpin family, but is this a good thing?If the other party came to marry Jiaojiaoer because of the Buddhist beads, how could he really like Jiaojiaoer?What kind of good marriage is this, so this prayer bead has little meaning in the third room.

The old lady hugged Yuzhu'er, crying, "Grandmother accepted Yuzhu's love once, and I will thank you for Yuning."

Lin also said with a choked voice, "Yuzhu, Auntie thanked you here, if there is anything in the future, just come to Auntie." But now she can't even make the promise, what can their eldest wife do now? It's nothing more than a down and out family, but this time's love has been remembered by the people in Dafang for a lifetime.

"Don't say that, we are all a family, so there is nothing to be unsympathetic to." Mu said.

"What the siblings said is that we are all one family, why bother to talk about this." Dow also persuaded.

The old lady handed Yu Zhu'er into Mu's arms, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Okay, let's go, when Yuning returns to the mansion in the evening, there will be a banquet in the mansion, and everyone will have the banquet in the main hall at night."

Yuning will return home to get married at night.

When everyone left, only Lin and the old lady were left holding the Buddhist beads tightly in the main hall. Lin looked at the old lady and called out to her mother in a hoarse voice. She was still a little excited, but she really didn't expect Yuzhu to give the Buddhist beads Yuning.

The old lady waved her hand, "Keep the beads well, and when Yuning comes back to make her makeup, I should go back to the yard, and you can tidy it up, Yuning is going to marry into the royal family, and the dowry must be beautiful Some, let me see when the dowry list is sorted out. If there are too few things, I still have some things in the warehouse, but they are not very good items, and they are just for show. By the way, remember to treat Sanfang and Yuzhu better in the future , this child is really a lucky person, and she has a good heart, no wonder she has been able to draw a lottery that has not been drawn by anyone for several years."

Lin nodded, and the old lady was helped out of the main hall by the maid beside her.
