Yutai Bi

Chapter 112
"Then tell me earlier." Cen Sanniang stomped her feet angrily.

"I've already bought it. If you spend money to buy it, wouldn't it be a waste?" Du Yansui showed an innocent expression.

Cen Sanniang couldn't help being anxious: "What should we do now? Prepare an extra one-two-weight silver ingot for each person? Where do we go to exchange the one-two-weight small ingot at this time?"

"Are you afraid of making a fool of yourself in public?" Du Yansui asked softly.

Cen Sanniang glared at him: "I'm afraid of being ashamed? The shameless one is the Duke's Mansion, okay?"

After speaking, seeing Du Yansui's eyes light up, Cen Sanniang cleared her throat and added angrily: "It's not for your sake, but after I leave later, I won't owe you any more. Understand?"

Du Yansui nodded vigorously: "Understood."

He stared at her with dark eyes, and the smile in his eyes was undisguised.Cen Sanniang's face turned red, and she muttered, "What do you understand?"

Seeing her like this, Du Yansui was embarrassed to tease her again, and said softly: "You have prepared the gifts for the elders and the immediate peers. Those who come to fight the autumn wind, it is already very good to give such a gift."

"A pair of the four treasures of the study is one tael of silver. The hollow silver bracelet only costs eight cents of silver. I remember that when I was in the wedding ceremony, my aunt gave away eight and a half cents of silver as a reward. Today is a confession, will it be...too stingy Are you tired?" Cen Sanniang was still a little worried.

Du Yansui glanced back and saw that Fang's mother was sharing the ceremony with Ah Qiu and Xia Chu knowingly. She was two feet away from the two of them. .You don't worry. I promise you will be surprised with the gift they gave you."

Surprised?Cen Sanniang tilted her head and imagined what kind of meeting ceremony would surprise her.

The clear eyes were full of doubts, revealing a rare innocence.Du Yansui couldn't help reaching out and brushing her eyes: "Trust me."

Seeing that Cen Sanniang was still in a daze, Du Yansui couldn't help sighing: "Sanniang, how about learning to trust me?"

believe him?Cen Sanniang looked at Du Yansui, feeling a little bitter and sweet in her heart.Ever since Xu Shi and Baicao left, she didn't trust anyone.In retrospect, she seemed to trust him all the time, until he disappeared, until she saw the strange him again in Leyouyuan.

But now he came to tell her again to make her believe him.

Cen Sanniang murmured: "Kong Qing failed me once, will Du Yansui still do it?"

The smile on Du Yansui's face became stiff.He wanted to tell her not anymore, never again.But Cen Sanniang had already passed him and walked towards Mother Fang and the others.

"Young Madam, everything is ready."

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu held the tray in their hands.

Fang's mother nervously told Cen Sanniang again: "Come and get one as soon as it's finished. Come here in turn, don't let the young lady lose people by her side."

"Don't worry, mom." Ah Qiu and Xia Chu replied with a smile.The two of them are the big girls who show their faces in front of the young lady of the Duke's Mansion.Showing your face in this kind of scene is somewhat exciting and joyful.

At this time someone came from outside, stood at the door and said: "Old Madam invites Young Master Sun and Young Madam to go to the main hall."

Cen Sanniang took a deep breath.

Du Yansui strode towards her, and the moment Cen Sanniang stepped out, said in a low voice, "Don't worry."

She didn't look up.Is this another promise he made to her?The corners of Cen Sanniang's lips raised slightly, and the haze in her heart was blown away by the wind.

The sunshine in late spring is the most comfortable, warm and not irritable, and can shine into the deepest part of the Haoqi Hall.

Standing at the door, all eyes from inside could be seen, Cen Sanniang's legs were so weak that she wanted to support the wall—isn't she?Everyone in the room has to kneel and salute by themselves one by one?

Mother Yin received the gesture from the old lady, and stood behind Cen Sanniang with a smile.Du Yansui also couldn't recognize all the relatives, and had to rely on Yin's mother to give advice.

"Come with me." Du Yansui walked in first.

Cen Sanniang buried her head, and followed behind him in a gentle and gentle manner, little daughter-in-law, with her head held high and her chest high, she looked like something.

Ann was only invited in the morning, and now she is still kind.Mrs. Du, who worshiped the host, was very smooth. As soon as the tea was lifted, Mrs. Du took it and said with a hearty smile: "The old lady has been waiting for so many years, and I can't wait to drink this cup of tea. Get up! "

Mother Yin was about to reach out to help, but Du Yansui had already held her arm to help her up. With a flattering smile on her face, she joked with Mrs. Du like a child: "Grandmother, Sanniang gave her a double gift." Shoes made by yourself?"

nonsense.A Qiu's tray was not just a pair of shoes.The shoes of the Tang Dynasty were also called shoes.Women's shoes are different from the embroidered shoes of later generations.A kind of shoe with the toe pointing up high, a bit like the court shoes used by ministers to go to court, also known as heavy platform shoes.Probably there is a square or flower-shaped baffle on the front of the shoe. When wearing a floor-length skirt, the toe is exposed outside the skirt, which can prevent you from falling while stepping on the skirt.

Cen Sanniang is not good as a female celebrity, so naturally she can't make shoes.For the whole pair of shoes, she only drew the patterns to be embroidered. She has an art foundation, so she is very good at drawing embroidery patterns.

The shoes she gave Mrs. Tai were high-toed, without the square-shaped shoes like Chaofen in front, and a pearl was adorned on the top.The soles of the shoes are rather thin, and the uppers are made of maroon satin, which is embroidered with blessings, prosperity and longevity, and the tops of the shoes are patterned with the swastika.Sophisticated and beautiful.

It's just a pair of shoes, and she didn't make them stitch by stitch. Du Yansui, you deliberately mentioned it, what do you want to do?Cen Sanniang felt guilty, for fear that someone would ask about her female celebrity.

Mrs. Du took the shoes in her hand, looked at them over and over again, and exclaimed, "Oh, the toe of this shoe is so clever, I am an old woman, how can I wear such exquisite shoes. Look... If it weren't for this deep The jujube-colored old man likes it, but I really feel embarrassed to wear these shoes."

When the old lady said this, the female relatives sitting in front would not disappoint her. Looking at the finger-sized pearl on the toe of the shoe, and looking at Cen Sanniang's gold-embroidered dress, she thought that she was a gift, The family property must be rich, and there will be more people to welcome it.

The people in front can take a few glances, but the female relatives behind stretch their necks and can't see.

Mrs. Du simply asked the girl who was waiting beside her to bring her shoes and went around the field.

Listening to the compliments from all around, Cen Sanniang lowered her head halfway, her face full of shame.She thought to herself, don't follow the wind and ask me for shoes.These shoes were made by the embroiderer of Li's embroidered house.The A Qiuxia Chu she brought didn't have this skill.Fang's mother can cook a few dishes, but if she makes shoes, it's better to let her eat the soles of the shoes.

"Time flies so fast..." Du Yansui's mosquito-like sigh suddenly came to my ears.

Cen Sanniang quickly looked up.It happened that Du Yansui blinked at her, she was startled and almost laughed out loud.It took such a long time to look at the pair of shoes. When it was noon, there was no tradition of keeping loved ones for a meal. If you were hungry, you would naturally settle down later.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back his temper and coughed fiercely: "Third siblings, there are still many relatives in the hall. If we drag on, I'm afraid we won't be able to recognize them all tomorrow."

Mrs. Du accepted it when she saw a good deal: "Oh, second uncle, you are in poor health, so I dare not keep you waiting for a long time. Yan Sui, take your wife to serve tea to your mother."

Mrs. Zhang sat at the head of Mrs. Du.On the right of the main seat, a thin old man with white beard and hair blew his beard and stared in anger, snorted coldly, and fell silent.

Cen Sanniang knew that he was the only second-bedroom old lady who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Mrs. Du.

The old lady rewarded a box with a flower crown inside.Women in the Tang Dynasty liked to wear crowns.The middle is like a sarong hat for men, usually made of gold and silver, it can be inlaid with pearls and gemstones, and the two ends are like outstretched wings, which can be as gorgeous as walking or delicate as hairpins.

The corolla that Mrs. Du admired is the vertex emerald crown.As far as craftsmanship is concerned, it is the best in Corolla.In the middle is a combination of petals, which can be bent and inserted into a high bun like a headband.Thin wings protrude from both ends, with emerald blue as the base, covered with gems of various colors.Ruby as big as lotus rice, turquoise as small as mung bean.It's breathtakingly beautiful.

As soon as the object came out, there was a sound of breathing in the hall.

"Granddaughter-in-law, thank grandma for the gift." Cen Sanniang didn't understand why, she was not ashamed at this meeting, and thanked her loudly.

The old lady gave Du Yansui a meaningful look, and she put away all kinds of envious eyes with satisfaction.This is what she wanted.There are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, once this thing comes out, who dares to say that the Duke's government has lost?

After accepting the gift from the old lady, Du Yansui led Cen Sanniang to offer tea to Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang's health is not good.Du Yansui once said that he did not know when he would pass away.Cen Sanniang looked at her carefully, and covered her face with makeup.Mrs. Zhang was extremely thin, and even her thick makeup couldn't hide her haggardness.When she reached out to pick up the tea, Cen Sanniang saw that her hands were as thin as sticks, trembling slightly.

Cen Sanniang was shocked, didn't she even have the strength to hold a cup of tea?
This time Du Yansui didn't make a fuss, Mrs. Zhang got up after receiving the tea ceremony, and helped Cen Sanniang get up.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's meeting ceremony, whispers came from the hall again.

This is a set of white jade noodles.Twelve pure white and flawless jade-inlaid gold rods of one color, and a pair of white jade bracelets.Each stick is about half a foot long. The head of the stick is carved in the shape of a phoenix. The body of the stick is covered with gold and carved with cirrus clouds, which is grand and solemn.

Cen Sanniang exchanged another pair of shoes for a treasure, and thanked him loudly and happily.

At the beginning, he gave two heavy treasures as a meeting gift, and the face of the second old man sitting on the right of the main seat became gloomy.

Du Yansui had already led Cen Sanniang to kneel in front of him, instead of offering tea, he only respectfully bowed to the elders.
