In the future, we might not even realize he has led all the men in our village to the gambling hall! How can our families possibly survive then"“Yes, the young lady is right!” Another woman beside her...It turned out that both Meilan and Xu Xi had sent maids to inquire. Since the Third Princess was getting married, they also wanted to contribute gifts for her dowry.
Also, Gu Qingqing has already gone back to her husband's house and is not available to come over, but she still remembers this matter.
When the two maidservants saw Baozhu was there too, they both laughed.
"All the girls went together, and our mistress said that the County Princess and the Princess had the best relationship and must know what the Princess likes. She urged us to come ask quickly."
"Yes, our girls say the same thing."
Jia Yin gestured for them to drink the sour plum soup to quench their thirst and chatted a few idle words.
After they had cooled down, they said, "The princess is of noble status. To be frank, she lacks nothing. Even if we ransacked her private funds and bought some precious jewelry, it would probably be considered ordinary in the eyes of the princess."
"So, as for makeup, just do what you can afford. And compared to expensive jewelry, something handmade like an embroidered handkerchief or a painting might be more favored by the princess."
Two maidservants heard this and hesitated. What she said made sense, but their mistress couldn't possibly go to beautify herself with just a painting or a handkerchief, could she
Upon seeing this, Jia Yin called out to Shui Ling to bring out the box she had prepared.
Inside the box was a set of jewelry. It wasn't adorned with any precious stones, just crafted from pure gold, but the workmanship was incredibly delicate and the design was particularly beautiful.
From hairpins, to hair combs and earrings, to bracelets, a total of eight items, each one is breathtaking.
Women love beauty, especially jewelry, which is truly their heart's desire.
The pearl and her two maidservants couldn't help but rush forward, praising him effusively.
“This hairpin is so beautiful, is this a phoenix The feathers are so realistic!”
"This bracelet is woven with gold thread It's so skillful!"
But they also knew their limits, no matter how much they liked him, they didn't dare to touch him.
When Jia Yin and the others could see clearly, they took the box and said, “This is something I made with my own hands during my spare time. I learned some skills from a master craftsman.”
“Don’t say the style is acceptable, it’s just a bit crude. I believe the princess would be happy with this token of my affection. So, go back and tell your young ladies not to worry too much. Our chance meeting with the princess in her boudoir is fate. At this time, all that matters is sending our heartfelt blessings.”
Two maidservants quickly nodded, bowing in response.
"Thank you for your advice, Princess."
After chatting for a while more, they were ready to say goodbye.
Jia Yin instructed, “Follow Shui Ling to my greenhouse and see what fruits are ripe. Pick two baskets and bring them back to share with Sister Mei and Sister Xu.”
Two maidservants happily thanked them, their hearts filled with immense gratitude. They were incredibly fortunate that when they came over earlier, their mistress had also sent personally baked snacks and two new travelogues.
Otherwise, to come empty-handed and return with nothing would be too embarrassing.
After sending the two maids out, Baozhu smiled and hugged Jiayin's arm.
"Jia Yin sister, hehehe, the jewelry you made with your own hands is so beautiful, hehehe..."
Of course Jia Yin understood her thoughts. He couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Rest assured, when you get married, I will definitely personally craft a set of wedding accessories for you."
"Oh, woe is me! When will that be" Baozhu's round face was contorted in a pout, acting like a spoiled child.
"Sister JiaYin, please give me a set in advance, or I'll be an old woman by the time I get one."
Jiayin was harassed by her until she had no choice but to compromise.
In a few days, when I have some free time, I will make you a pair of gold bracelets. The rest will be discussed when you get married.
"Wah, Sister Jiayin is the best!" Baozhu was so happy she hugged Jiayin and shook her violently, almost dislodging her hair. Needless to say, she received two more whacks on the head before settling down.
The whole day, Baozhu stuck with Jia Yin, eating, drinking, napping, and taking a stroll. In the end, they even went to the greenhouse behind the county princess's mansion to rummage around.
Not until the sun began to set did she reluctantly get into the carriage.
Shui Ling went to Er Cun's workshop to deliver a message, and she hitched a ride in the Jia family's carriage for a while.
Baohua leaned against the car door and whispered to Shui Ling, "Shui Ling, Shui Ling, next time if JieJie Jia Yin gets upset again, just have someone call me. I may not be able to help, but if I come to bother her for a day, she'll forget all about being bothered."
Shuiling couldn't help but laugh, her eyes crinkling at the corners. She quickly extended her thumb and praised him effusively.
"Miss Baozhu is truly amazing, how did you know our Miss wasn't feeling well These past few days, both Shuiyun and I were worried sick. With your arrival today, our Miss is indeed much better."
"Of course," Baozhu replied proudly, raising her chin. "I grew up with Jieyin sister after all."
Having said that, she thought of the third princess and added, "My elder sister is getting married, and gossip is everywhere in the city. It's infuriating! I really want to sew those people's mouths shut!"
"Jiao Yin elder sister and Princess elder sister are so good, they must be even more angry!
"My mother said that after getting married, I wouldn't be a child anymore and couldn't cry or laugh casually. "
"You said, why must girls get married Can't they just stay home for life"
Water Spirit also wore a gloomy expression and replied, "I don't know either. I also want to stay with my master at Suijin Beach for life. There's no place like home!"
Grandma Jia sat in the back of the carriage, listening with both ears but saying nothing clever.
Of course, she just wanted to say, and was full of helplessness.
Marriage of men and women has been the norm since ancient times.
A man who marries the wrong wife can take several concubines, or even a secondary wife.
But the woman married the wrong man, and it was a lifetime of misery...
Perhaps the Emperor was afraid of tiring his ministers to the point of collapse, or perhaps the Ministry of Rites felt pity for itself. Either way, there was no court meeting on the second day after the announcement, and the selection of a concubine was moved to the third day.
As a result, almost all the veteran officials took leave, and half of the six ministries' offices were empty.
The doctors in various clinics were incredibly busy, running from one patient to another, their feet rubbed raw.
For this, Dr. Zhang also specially went into the city to see Liu Lao Ye's pulse and prescribed a health-preserving prescription.
In the absence of the young master, the old man is like a lodestar to the entire family.
There was a ripple in the court, all thanks to his analysis of the times and guidance.
But the young masters had all lowered their flags and ceased hostilities, while the women of each family were excitedly energized as if they'd been injected with chicken blood.
They repeatedly took out the new dresses and jewelry, letting their own daughters try them on, trying to show off the best side of their girls.
If one were to be favored by the Crown Prince, one's entire family would surely rise to great heights.
Of course, no one is stupid.
The emperor selecting a consort for the crown prince is clearly a ploy by the prince to use his position and quickly secure his footing.
Therefore, the higher a woman's status in her family, the greater her chance of being selected.
Those in minor government positions at home are probably just there to go through the motions.
But life is unpredictable. As a young prince, what if he falls head over heels for someone's daughter...
Thus, Xin Du fell into a strange state of half-excitement and half-silence.
And all the embroidery shops and jewelry stores are also making a final push.
Once the last shipment is delivered, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As the sun began to set, casting everything in a warm glow, the city gate suddenly erupted like a boiling pot of water, teeming with activity.een open. We live in the dormitory and eat at the canteen, we don't have to worry about anything."Li Laosan also said, "Our family has a courtyard outside the academy. It's convenient for the boys to...
