Chapter 200 Dress Up
Wen Mingke regained some composure.
It’s okay because the Ninth Princess is still young, maybe they are just playing with each other, but what about the Fifth Prince?
He was now truly certain that his niece was completely different from before.
It is said that Eunuch Su from the palace came to announce the imperial edict several times.
That was Su Quan, the most important eunuch beside His Majesty. Now it seems that it is not a rumor.
"Father, should we continue to wait?"
"Don't be anxious. You are not as good as your sister in keeping calm when things get tough."
Haoda'er didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Of course I'm not as good as Wan'er."
Wen Mingke sighed.
The eldest son is not capable of anything. If he had been able to establish himself, pass the imperial examination and become an official in the court, would he still have to suffer neglect at someone else's door?
"Remember this, don't speak carelessly after you enter the mansion.
If you ruin Wan'er's good fortune, you'll be in trouble."
The eldest son grumbled and agreed, but he was actually wondering if they would be allowed in.
Just then, there was a movement at the doorman's.
When Lao Fang saw Mo Yi, he quickly stood up and greeted her respectfully, "Miss Mo Yi."
He knew that those people that His Highness later brought back were all former Qingluan Guards and they dared not be ordinary maids.
After a few words of explanation, Lao Fang knew that his feeling was correct.
"Did you hear that?"
Mo Yi spoke loudly on purpose, and Lao Fang immediately responded loudly.
The servants of the Wen family were staring at the door. They clearly heard the sound, but the door was not opened for a long time. They couldn't help but move closer.
"Old man, it's almost noon, and there's still no news from His Highness?"
The old man said with a reserved tone, "I think it would be better if the distinguished guest could go back first?"
The boy took advantage of the opportunity to peek inside the door, but did not see the maid who had just spoken.
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly grabbed Lao Fang.
"No, my master has been waiting for so long, how can I not see him?"
Lao Fang's face darkened immediately, and he threw away his sleeves to break free from the drag.
"Even if they are relatives, why would they come to visit without sending a visiting card?
Besides, you, the relatives of the Wen family... huh, haven't you been in touch with us for a few years?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the servant didn't want to, so he took two quick steps and grabbed him back.
This time he didn't have time to show off his skillful technique, and hurriedly took out a ten-liang silver ingot and stuffed it into Lao Fang's arms.
"Thank you, old man. Please help me."
But this time, Lao Fang refused very decisively and refused to take the offer at all. He let the silver ingot fall to the ground and refused to take it.
The servant quickly picked it up, with a bewildered look on his face:
What do you mean? You don't even want the benefits? That's ten taels of silver!
"Let go!"
Lao Fang changed his attitude as soon as he said so. The change in attitude was abrupt. The old man looked cold and fierce with a frown on his face.
"To tell you the truth, the maid in the backyard had already reported it.
His Highness didn't want to see him at all and was scolded.
If you really want to see him, please go back unless you ask the guard who came out of the palace. "
The servant thought this was a good idea and quickly asked, "Don't be angry, old man. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Seeing the old man stretched out a finger, but didn't ask for the ten-liang silver ingot...
"Hiss... one hundred taels?"
"Oh, it's one thousand taels." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The servant thought the old man was crazy. One thousand taels? Just for a meeting?
He pursed his lips and went to answer.
When Wen Mingke heard the price of one thousand taels, he was stunned.
"Are you crazy because of poverty?"
The eldest son was dumbfounded, as he only received fifteen taels of silver a month.
Although I have some allowances from my mother and grandmother, but one thousand taels...
Wen Mingke didn't say anything, he also felt that it was a bit too much.
But if the news is correct, the identity of the guard is the centurion who came out of the palace.
Asking someone to do something for you for a thousand taels is really nothing.
Moreover, the servant also said that Zhao Yue had a grudge against the Wen family, and spending money to resolve it would be a good idea.
After pondering for more than ten breaths, he really took out a thousand-liang silver note. After thinking about it, he took out one more note.
The eldest son's eyes were as big as copper bells. It would be fine if his father agreed, but what was the matter with paying one more ticket?
"Dad, you..."
"go!"
One word, the final word.
Since you dare to charge money, do it right the first time.
The eldest son did not dare to refute. He got off the carriage himself and handed the two silver bills to the servant.
When I turned my back to the carriage, an idea immediately came to my mind:
How about taking one for yourself? After all, they only want one thousand taels.
After swallowing his saliva, he reluctantly handed it all over.
There’s no other reason, he’s just afraid that his father will beat him to death after he finds out.
The servant's hands were shaking. He had never handled such a large item in his life.
Not daring to delay, he strode towards the gatehouse and banged on the door.
When Lao Fang took the banknote, his expression was quite calm.
When Miss Mo Yi mentioned this before, he thought it was a roundabout rejection. Who would be willing to spend a thousand taels to meet someone?
Who would have thought that not only did they agree, they also paid double!
Get up, the Sixth Princess’s Mansion is about to prosper!
However, he had also met many royal heirs and nobles in the palace in the past two days, and his confidence was much stronger than that servant.
He appeared calm, put the banknotes down and extended his hand.
Servant:?
Lao Fang rolled his eyes. This guy is not very capable either.
"Those belong to the master's family. What does it have to do with me? Why am I running errands for nothing?"
The ten taels of silver ingots finally returned to his hands. It was just two months' salary, so easy.
"Wait."
This time they didn't have to wait too long. Within a cup of tea, the three members of the Wen family were invited into the mansion.
The one who came to pick them up was Mo Yi. She was not dressed like an ordinary maid, but was dressed in a smart outfit and covered with a half mask.
The mask, which did not bear the mark of the Qingluan Guard, had been left in the palace. It was just a thin iron armor.
He exuded a majestic aura as he led the way. Wen Mingke, who had originally intended to find out some information, was unable to utter a word.
In this way, we arrived at the main hall of the third entrance in silence.
The skirt is covered with a half-sleeved jacket with a gold and silver cloud pattern, and the collar is decorated with precious lace.
The main colors are autumn fragrance color and moon white, with amber silk scarf as the eyes and a saffron waist seal.
Apply a light layer of Yingdie powder on the face as a base, and set the makeup with lily of the valley flower dew.
Lightly apply Linglingxiang Rouge on both cheeks to create the effect of "red reed dyeing cheeks".
The eyebrows painted in the mist of distant mountains are given the meaning of hazy autumn fog. The color of the ink is slightly darker than that of midsummer, and is blended with green bird head ink and snail ink.
The lips are painted in sandalwood color, the upper lip is shaped like a three-petal Baoxiang flower, and the lower lip is painted like a single-petal lotus.
The person who usually goes out without makeup at home was now fully dressed.
Although it is not as grand as attending court, it is also rare and grand.
Except for her, the other members of the Mo group on the left and right were all dressed the same as Mo Yi.
They were originally rotating, but now all of them were dressed up.
This was the scene Wen Mingke saw when he led his two children into the house.
I immediately felt a sense of solemnity and unconsciously suppressed the smile on my face...
