Chapter 120: Will Brother Shi Yan still like you when he sees you covered in sores?
After Huaying returned to her room, she opened the envelope and put the banknotes inside into her own small treasury.
Looking at the banknotes accumulated in the drawer, I couldn't help but feel a sense of security.
At this time, Qingzhu came over with a letter, "Miss, this is the invitation from Miss Su. I just heard from people outside that Miss Su and the eldest prince will get married on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month! The master and the mistress also received the invitation, which is specially left for Miss!"
Qingzhu said as he handed the invitation to Huaying.
Huaying took the invitation and saw a piece of paper inside. After reading the letter, the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
She was truly happy for Sister Su Mu because she could witness her happiness.
Huaying ordered Qingzhu to call Qinghe, and the three of them went to the warehouse to choose gifts. Seeing that the gifts in the warehouse were all given to their mother, sister-in-law, and as rewards from the palace, they were not suitable to be given to Sister Sumu.
"Qingzhu, go tell the butler to prepare a carriage so we can go to Chang'an Street."
Qingzhu took the order and stepped back toward the mansion gate. Qinghe saw the young lady walking out of the warehouse, so he locked the door again and followed the young lady to the back door.
When they reached the back door, they saw Qingzhu and Yuexing driving a carriage. They arrived at Chang'an Street, where shops lined both sides of the street and it was still bustling.
Huaying walked into a jewelry store. She was dazzled by the dazzling array of jewelry in the store. She carefully selected and finally chose a pair of jade ruyi. The ruyi was crystal clear and emerald green.
Caressing the pair of Ruyi, Huaying said slowly, "I just hope that Sister Sumu will have everything she wants after marriage."
Qing He said, "Miss, Miss Su is the prince's consort, her status is extremely noble, so everything will definitely go as she wishes."
Huaying looked at Qinghe, who had an innocent face, and chuckled.
He thought to himself, although the status of a prince's wife is indeed noble, this is ancient times after all, and men from official families can still have three wives and four concubines, let alone a prince of such a high status?
I have heard the conversation between my father and elder brother. Now, many officials in the court have written to the emperor to appoint a crown prince. However, the emperor has not made a decision yet.
In private, the eldest and second princes, who have the greatest hope of being elected, appear to be getting along harmoniously on the surface, but in fact they are secretly making their own plans.
The eldest prince asked to marry Su Mu's sister, and what he valued was only the military power in General Su's hands.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over, looked at Huaying respectfully and asked, "Miss Shen, let me pack Ruyi for you. Is the packaging still in the old style?" The shopkeeper's words interrupted Huaying's thoughts.
She didn't know what the packaging was like before, but she didn't want others to know that she had forgotten the past, so she said ambiguously: "This is a gift for Miss Su's wedding. The shopkeeper can just take care of the packaging."
After hearing what Huaying said, the shopkeeper understood. He nodded, called Qinghe, and took her to the inner room to start packing.
Huaying's eyes fell on those exquisite jewelry again. After some selection, she finally chose a gold necklace for her sister-in-law and a jade pendant for Fu Shiyan.
After a while, Qinghe came out holding an exquisite gift box.
After Huaying paid the money, she ordered Qingzhu and Qinghe to put the gifts on the carriage. Just as Huaying was about to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from behind.
"Sister An Ning, are you going back?"
Huaying turned around and saw Princess Zijin standing not far away, looking at her with a smile.
Huaying did not show much emotion, she just bowed to Zijin calmly and said, "Greetings, Princess."
The princess walked up to her, took her hand warmly and said, "I heard that you went out today to choose a gift for Miss Su?" Princess Zijin looked at Huaying, and a hint of imperceptible jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Huaying nodded slightly, "Yes, Princess." She wondered in her heart, how did the princess know what she did today?
"Wow, you are worthy of being my good sister. The gift is wrapped so uniquely." Princess Zi Jin said as she reached out to take the box from the carriage.
Huaying subconsciously took a step back and stood in front of the carriage. Princess Zijin's hand fell into nothingness and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"I just want to take a look, why are you so nervous?" Princess Zi Jin laughed dryly, trying to cover up her gaffe.
Huaying lowered her head and said nothing. She felt somewhat disgusted by Princess Zijin's behavior.
"No more watching." Seeing this, Zi Jin quickly changed the subject, "When Miss Su gets married, you must wait for me at the gate of the Imperial City, and then we can go in together."
"Thank you for the invitation, Princess. Huaying will attend the banquet on time." Huaying replied indifferently.
"Then it's settled. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Princess Zi Jin smiled, turned around and left.
Looking at Princess Zi Jin's receding back, Hua Ying shook her head helplessly, got on the carriage, and ordered Yue Xing to return home.
At this time, Princess Zijin lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, looked at Huaying's carriage going away, smiled foolishly, and said to herself, "I want to see, when you are covered with sores, will Brother Shi Yan still like you?"
The maid beside her hurriedly washed the princess' hands, only to see the water turned black in an instant.
The princess calmly took out an antidote from her sleeve, slowly put it into her mouth, took the water handed to her by the maid and swallowed it.
Three days later, Fu Feng really sent the food box containing Zui Jiang Yue's meal all the way to Mo Lan Pavilion. Qing He took him to the second floor. Seeing that the young lady was still practicing calligraphy, he bowed and said, "Young lady, Fu Feng is seeking an audience outside, and it seems that he is sending food."
When Huaying heard this, she remembered what she had mentioned to Fu Shiyan a few days ago, and hurriedly said, "Let him in quickly."
After Fu Feng came in and bowed, he gave the food box to Qing He, took out a letter from his arms, and gently placed it on the desk, "Boss, this is a letter from Dong Xue to you. If there is nothing else, I will go back and report."
Huaying thanked him and signaled Qingzhu to take him out. Qingzhu received the hint from the young lady and handed Fu Feng a purse on the way back, saying, "You've worked hard all the way. The young lady said it wouldn't be too late to have a bowl of wontons outside before returning home."
Fu Feng took the purse and said with a smile, "You're welcome then. Thank the boss for me."
At this time, Huaying on the second floor opened the envelope and saw that the letter was written on the cheapest, slightly yellowed straw paper in Taohua Town. She felt sad.
Looking at Dongxue's neat handwriting that filled up a piece of paper, Huaying couldn't help but feel moved.
The letter described how she became the shopkeeper of Zuijiangyue, and she also proudly talked about how she had learned some basic kung fu.
By the way, I complained about Aunt Zhang, saying that she was a completely different person compared to before.
In addition, some situations of restaurants in Bali Town were also mentioned.
At the end of the book, Huaying's eyes lingered on the sentence "I don't know when I can see Sister Huaying again", and there were faint traces of water stains next to those words. Without thinking, Huaying knew that the little girl must have cried again.
After Huaying finished reading the letter, she folded it and put it back into the envelope.
I walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the distance, and recalled every moment in Taohua Town.
"Miss, dinner is here." Qinghe's voice interrupted Huaying's thoughts.
Huaying nodded and turned to the dining table. Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, she called Qinghe and Qingzhu to come and try some.
"Miss, how can this be done? This breaks the rules," Qinghe and Qingzhu said hurriedly.
Huaying smiled and said, "It's okay. There are only three of us in the room. It's fine as long as others don't know."
Qinghe and Qingzhu refused again with a look of panic on their faces. Seeing this, Huaying smiled and said, "I order you two to accompany me for dinner. Food tastes better when there are more people."
When the two men heard the young lady say this, they sat down to eat.
Qingzhu saw that the young lady didn't eat much of the food, so he said, "Don't worry, young lady, Miss Dongxue is so smart and will take good care of herself."
Huaying raised her eyes and smiled at the considerate Qingzhu, nodded, and then picked up a piece of lion's head for each of them and said, "Try this braised lion's head dish. It's one of Zuijiangyue's signature dishes."
Qinghe and Qingzhu were touched and nodded their heads, saying it was delicious...
After dinner, Huaying took out her pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write a letter, telling Dongxue that everything was fine and asking her not to worry.
At the same time, Dongxue was also encouraged to work hard to manage Zuijiangyue.
Finally, Huaying wrote that if she had the chance, she would definitely go to visit Dongxue.
After writing the letter, Huaying gently blew dry the ink stains, then folded it and put it in an envelope.
Call Qingzhu and tell her to deliver the letter early tomorrow morning...
Before going to bed, Qinghe helped Huaying change her clothes and noticed a red rash on the young lady's wrist.
He asked anxiously: "Miss, what happened to you? Does it hurt?"
Huaying looked down and saw the red rash. She frowned and thought for a moment, thinking that it might be an allergy caused by contact with something, and she didn't feel any pain.
So, she comforted Qinghe and said, "It's okay, it's probably an allergy."
