Chapter 81 as you wish
Qin Yunuan protected Qin Baochuan behind him, and his eyes showed incomparable firmness and inviolability.
Dou Qing'e's eyes opened, but Qin Yun makeup opened her mouth first and said to Qin Yunuan, "Who do you think it is? A common daughter dares to talk to her mother like this.
Qin Yunuan slowly swept through today's particularly gorgeously dressed Dou Qing'e and Dou Qing'e with her indifferent eyes, and gently skimmed the corners of her mouth: "Baochuan still needs to learn from the clan. He can't talk with his mother. If he is late and mentions it to his father, Yu Nuan really doesn't know how to answer." With that, he motioned Liao's mother to bring Baochuan out with his eyes.
Liao's mother pulled Qin Baochuan to leave, but Dou Qing'e raised her voice and said, "It's okay to take people away, but you have to tell your father that you don't want to participate in the prince's concubine selection. The only thing you can participate in is cloud makeup."
Speaking of it, the mother and daughter were enthusiastic about this ridiculous concubine selection activity, but Qin Yunuan disdained this activity full of powerful transactions from beginning to end.
"Mother," Qin Yunuan said, "If I had said it, my father would have agreed. I would have retreated a long time ago, but mother, do you think my father will?"
Yes, after all, after all, Qin Zhi's temper Dou Qing'e still doesn't understand? If his decision could be changed so easily, she would not think of a way to coerce Qin Yunuan to speak, but for her daughter's future and future, even if there is only one ten thousandth of the chance, she will have a try.
"However, if the mother intends to send the eldest sister to the palace, Yu Nuan has a way to try." Qin Yu said warmly.
Qin Yun's first reaction was: "Why should I trust you?"
Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "It's right for the eldest sister not believe me. Mother Liao, let's take Baochuan back. If your father asks why Baochuan is late for studying, you can say that Baochuan has delayed hours to coax his mother to sleep in order to recite. Filial piety is the first, and his father will not be blamed." After saying that, Qin Yunuan turned around and was about to leave with Baochuan.
"Wait," Dou Qing'e suddenly changed her mind. "Baochuan left, you stay." It is still a high tone, but the attitude has been compromised.
With his back to Dou Qing'e, the corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth suddenly raised slightly and nodded to signal Liao's mother to take Baochuan to the clan learning quickly, but he slowly turned around: "Mother would like to listen to Yu Nuan?"
"Well, I'm just listening."
Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "Although the prince chooses a concubine for life, before that, the queen will hold a poetry party in the palace and invite all the official daughters to the banquet together. All the princes will also attend, but take the lead in screening the favorite woman. If she can perform well in the poetry meeting, give the emperor Zi left a deep impression. Compared with the father's attitude, it is not so important. After all, those who are not parents will stop their daughter from embarking on the road of Qingyun. Mother, don't you think so?
"Why did you help me? Will you be so kind?" Qin Yunzhuang first had some intentions, but immediately, she was replaced by a kind of vigilance. In her eyes, Qin Yunuan was like a snake and scorpion. She was vicious and more vicious.
Qin Yunuan smiled again: "Yu Nuan is just a concubine. Whether she can be selected or not, even if she can be elected to serve the prince, she has no background and no support. How can she fight against those rich officials? After all, she will either die alone or live a miserable life. The wall is broken, and Yu Nuan's desire has never been to guard Baochuan and live an ordinary life. The deep palace is heavy. He can neither take care of Baochuan nor himself. Why?
This is reasonable, but Dou Qing'e's mother and daughter are still skeptical.
There will be a poetry meeting in seven days, and it seems that we should plan early.
Looking at Dou Qing'e and Qin Yun's makeup looking at each other but saying nothing, Qin Yunuan knew what the two were worried about, but blessed her body later: "Yu Nuan said that mother can think about it slowly. There are still some chores in Yu Nuan's yard. Let's leave first."
Dou Qing'e didn't keep her any more. She just waited for Qin Yunuan to leave and retreated all the maids. Even Aunt Xiu ordered her to retreat and pulled Qin Yun makeup and asked, "Yun makeup, what do you think?"
"It's an opportunity." Qin Yun makeup lowered her eyebrows. As long as she thought of the opportunity to see the third prince Sima Rui, her heart would always be as sweet as drinking honey. Such a handsome and outstanding man is a good person in the hearts of many girls. If she really set up the third prince as the crown prince as the trend of the court, then she would be the crown princess. The queen, the mother of the world, turns her hand over for the cloud, and turns her hand for the rain.
"It's just," Qin Yunzhuang hesitated for a moment. "Qin Yu's heart is deep. I'm afraid she will cheat."
"You know, ginger is still old and spicy," Dou Qing'e took a sip of warm tea and put down the jasper tea cup on the mahogany tea table. "Your father has alienated the three of us now. If we don't plan for ourselves, sooner or later, we will be trampled on by others sooner or later. It's not this concubine or a new door. Hu Meizi, you have to go to this poem, and Qin Yunuan is by his side. Humph, I'll arrange it freely.
Although it is a poetry meeting, the ladies who have the opportunity to participate in the selection of imperial concubines attach great importance to it and start busy early. For a while, many jewelry shops and clothing stores in Beijing have received various orders, and the people came to give up a hundred taels of silver.
But Qin Yunuan seemed to be so unhurried. As usual, she designed a new flower appearance and checked Baochuan's homework. By the way, because this time, the collective purchase of the noble women made a small profit, which not only added a few new clothes and four treasures of the study to Baochuan, but also gave it to Linger's mother Liao and Ting Xue. After a few good materials, even Huang Dashi got a pair of new cloth shoes.
The night before the poetry meeting, Qin Yunuan was still reading with her head under the oil lamp. Occasionally, there was a sound from the wall. Qin Yunuan only thought it was the movement of the cat and didn't care.
The door was pushed open, and it was full of clothes ready to wear tomorrow's poetry.
The plain blue snow-rolling gauze thousand-water skirt, the short skirt embroidered with flowers, the light green belt is smooth and delicately folded neatly, and there is a golden begonia pearl on the top, and the silver pendant is very pleasing and cute.
Man'er spread out her clothes and introduced them to Qin Yunuan: "The clothes are from Yumanxiuzhuang. The shopkeeper heard that they are Qin San's clothes, and they don't even accept silver. In the end, Tong'er and I can only leave the silver and run away." Man'er smiled narrowly. Yumanxiuzhuang is an industry under the name of the Ningwang Mansion, and the master and servant both know Ming, Man'er continued, "Biuyao is from the East Street Jewelry Pavilion. I heard that it is the latest style this year. I think it looks good, and Tong'er also said that the three girls will like it."
Man'er and Tong'er have always been in line with Qin Yunuan's heart. Qin Yunuan picked up the exquisite golden begonia and shook it. He only took a glance and muttered, "The latest style of the East Street Jewelry Pavilion this year? Isn't the Golden Begonia-style East Street Jewelry Pavilion not sold for a long time? Since cooperating with Shen Xun, Qin Yunuan has also had some understanding of large and small shops in Beijing.
Man'er was stunned, and then lowered her voice and said, "Is there anything wrong with the East Street Jewelry Pavilion?"
Qin Yunuan smiled gently and said, "It's not the jewelry pavilion that is catty. Humph, I'm afraid it's the two people in Cuixuanyuan and Caizhiyuan. Think about it and you know that they have never been fuel-efficient lamps."
The next day, Qin Yu warmed up especially early and waited in the flower hall. When the sun covered the third window grid in the west of the corridor, Qin Yun's makeup finally appeared in full bloom.
Under the cherry-red skirt is a rose-red pile of flower skirt, with a light powder on her face, which makes her already charming face more like a spring breeze. She cut her pupils, her face is like Fu powder, E's eyebrows, red lips and teeth, and Qin Yun makeup, which is always the most dazzling one. At this moment, she held her head high. Full of confidence, he completely regarded himself as a rich peony that was destroyed by wind and rain but still bloomed.
Qin Yunuan greeted her with a smile: "The eldest sister is here."
Qin Yun's makeup said "um" lightly. In a blink of an eye, he saw the golden begonia beads firmly inserted on Qin Yu's head shaking. He smiled and even pretended to be affectionately and took Qin Yunuan's hand and said, "Now it's a coincidence that our two sisters are going to the palace to attend the banquet together."
Qin Yunuan nodded: "Yes, it's just a pity that things are different, and the current situation is different." After saying that, he went straight to the outer door and got into the carriage first.
Qin Yun bit her teeth, but she could only stamp her feet secretly in her heart. She comforted herself in her heart. Sooner or later, she would return all the ridicule and humiliation she gave her a hundred times.
The carriage still stopped at the Zhuque Gate. This time, the matan who guarded the door was very polite to Qin Yunuan. Now the reputation of Qin San in Beijing has gradually spread, especially the people of Qingshui County said that although they did not see Qin Sannu's true face that day, she looked like a wonderful person like a fairy. He is also kind and kind. He is a good person.
The poetry meeting was held in a garden with mountains and rivers. At present, before the queen came, the early ladies had already gathered together to laugh. Today's poetry meeting, Fang Ziying could not come. Originally, the Fang family kissed the Shangguan family, but Shangguan gave up to death. Fang Ziying rarely came out in order to avoid suspicion. Door, not to mention participating in the imperial concubine election.
Although Qin Yun's makeup appeared unexpectedly by many people, everyone's face was very good, especially Li Weijun. She still expected Qin Yun's makeup to help her.
Qin Yunuan had no intention of this excitement. She chose a place with few people to sit and enjoy the cool. Occasionally, a maid of honor passed by who handed tea. Qin Yunuan asked for a sour plum soup and drank it herself.
Suddenly, the originally sparse shade seemed to have another layer of shadow, and a gentle voice sounded above Qin Yunuan's head: "Miss Qin San, I haven't seen you for a long time."
