[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Jia Min also asked for wish-fulfilling charms for her two daughters, and tied them on their skirts.

The yellowed talisman swayed on the pretty skirt, and Jia Min was afraid that the red silk thread would not be tied securely, so he carefully fastened the colorful button.

"Mother, did you ask for this wishful talisman from Qingping Temple?" Yanyu caressed the wishful talisman, and seemed to smell the faint fragrance of crabapple.

"Your Lian's second sister-in-law is pregnant, so go to Qingping Temple to ask for a signature." Jia Min smiled and said softly, "She is also blessed, and Master Huijing said that this son is blessed."

Only then did Daiyu find out about it: "Then sister Qiao has younger brothers and sisters?"

Jia Min smiled: "This should be a happy event."

It's just that Sister Feng fell ill in Xiaoyue before, and Jia Min advised her to take a good rest when she came out of Qingping Temple. The most important thing now is to take care of her body.

Although Sister Feng was still worried, she remembered that the previous two small months were caused by exhaustion, so she had to agree.

Shi Taijun heard that Sister Feng was happy, especially happy, and gave Sister Feng a thousand-year-old ginseng and snow-capped ganoderma to let her take good care of her body, and ignore other things.

As for the management of the house, let Sanchun learn from the housekeeper, and let Li Wan give them some advice; but Li Wan is a widow after all and can't take charge, Yingchun also discusses relatives and waits for marriage, so Tanchun is also in charge.

It will also be Yanyu and Daiyu's Jiji ceremony in February, and Jia Min started preparing the Jiji ceremony for the two girls early.

Jili's dresses, hairpins and hairpins were all tailored and sent to the main courtyard. Jia Min looked at them carefully before appreciating the embroidery room with satisfaction.

The large dress is made of dignified vermilion as the main color, and it is painted with a thousand flowers and dark patterns, which is solemn but not blind; The brocade is cut, elegant and delicate.

The only thing that has not yet been decided is the candidates for the two supporters, which is also the most difficult for Jia Min to decide.

The praisers should be Jizhe's good friends and sisters, but most of their old friends have married far away, and for example, Liu Ning'an is not suitable because of her engagement to the Shi family; Yingping and Shengping also readily agreed.

But Mrs. Xing heard about this matter. Maybe Shi Taijun lost face in front of the younger generation because of Jia Min when they were visiting relatives in New Year's Eve. Mrs. Xing was talking in front of Shi Taijun; However, the wife invited two aunts from the Zhang family to be the praisers of the cousin girl.She also has her own thoughts, the Zhang family is the natal family of Jia Sheyuan's wife, Mrs. Zhang, and Jia Min's friendship with Mrs. Zhang makes Mrs. Xing feel uncomfortable.

Shi Taijun blamed her for telling the truth, and after thinking about it, she felt that Mrs. Xing's words were not unreasonable.

Grandma Zhao Si of the Yiyang Hou Mansion and Grandma Chen of the Baoning Hou Mansion both met after the Lin family returned to Beijing, so she and Sanchun are blood cousins, so they are no match for the two of them.

Although Shi Taijun was slightly dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior, but also thought that the Zhao family was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and there was a certain degree of wooing in it, so he was relieved.

On the eve of the Ji Ceremony, the Queen's order came from the servants in the palace, giving the two girls of the Lin family a pair of phoenix white jade pins.

The phoenix white jade hairpin bestowed by the queen also replaced the hairpin hairpin that was originally planned to be tied at the hairpin ceremony.

When others heard about it, they felt that it would be nice to have a cousin of the queen. Not everyone can have this honor.

On the day of the ceremony, Yanyu and Daiyu got up early and ate some soup, then Yue Bai and Ye Zi waited in the east room of the front hall after changing clothes and makeup.

The guests who watched the ceremony came one after another, and Jia Min entertained them and took their seats in the south seat. Yingping and Sheng Ping, who were the praisers, entered the east room to talk with their sisters.

Seeing that Yanyu and Daiyu had finished dressing in front of the dressing mirror, Yingping and Shengping sat down behind them. Sheng Ping looked at the dim shadow reflected in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "I haven't looked at it carefully before." , seeing you all dressed up like this now, you are really beauties!"

"Sister Sheng Ping, don't make fun of us." Daiyu played the egret fan in boredom, half-covered her face and said with a light smile.

"I heard that the empress gave the phoenix white jade?" Sheng Ping was very curious, so she couldn't wait to ask.

Yingping even tugged on Shengping's sleeve secretly: "Don't be frivolous!"

Yanyu then ordered Yuebai to present the agarwood tray on the case.

On the tray are two white jade sticks, carved to look like a phoenix; the white jade is transparent and clear, as pure and flawless as jade dripping from clear water, and it is a treasure that is not easy to see at first sight.

Yue Bai held the case case carefully, for fear of accidentally breaking the hairpin.

"This is the phoenix white jade hairpin bestowed by the Empress?" Sheng Ping looked at it in amazement, and even Yingping came over and stared at it intently: "I have never seen such a luxurious white jade hairpin."

Yanyu laughed and said, "The empress is blessed by heaven, we are so grateful."

Let Yuebai still place the tray on the case, and wait until the ceremony of hairpins begins before placing the hairpin in the front hall and handing it over to Mrs. Qin, who is the guest of honor.

The elegant music was playing in the courtyard, Yingping and Shengping took off their shoes to wash their hands in the hall; Yanyu and Daiyu just came out of the east room, kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and Jia Min on the mat to thank their parents for their kindness.

Mrs. Qin went to the banquet and sang her congratulatory speech, Yingping and Shengping went up to comb their hair, and tied their long hair with green hair bands.

Yanyu and Daiyu went back to the east room to change Fu Biru, and put on a solemn vermilion dress. The wide sleeves and the hem of the gauze had to be carefully arranged before going to the front hall.

Seeing her daughter wearing heavy makeup and light makeup, and her delicate face faded from childishness, Jia Min couldn't help but wet her eyes, so she turned her back and quietly wiped away her tears.

They knelt down to Mrs. Qin again at the table, and Mrs. Qin took the phoenix white jade hairpin on the agarwood tray and tied up their long hair for them.

Yiyue and Yiqing offered the wine, took up the wine cups and sprinkled them on the ground as a sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then drank the rest of the wine in the cups.

After the ceremony was completed, the guests who watched the ceremony sat down to drink, Yanyu and Daiyu went back to the east room first and changed into light and simple Luosharu skirts.

Yubai reported in a low voice on the corridor: "Miss, Dong'an County Prince's Mansion and Zhongjinghou's Mansion have sent congratulatory gifts, Madam let the girl go."

Daiyu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror doing her makeup, she got up when she heard the report, and happened to see Yanyu coming out of the back room after changing her clothes: "Sister, mother called us over."

Yanyu straightened the folds of her dress, nodded her head absent-mindedly, and when she looked up again, she saw Yue Bai waiting outside the curtain.

"I heard—" Daiyu murmured to Yanyu in a low voice, and Yanyu showed a look of sudden realization.

Dong'an County Prince's Mansion and Zhongjinghou's Mansion both sent grand congratulations, which were only inferior to Nazheng's ostentation.

"Our master heard that the two girls like the rare copies of ancient books, and asked the younger one to give these rare copies to the girls." It should be the steward of the Dong'an County Prince's Mansion who greeted the sisters of the Lin family standing in the corridor in the courtyard, and he took one of the rare copies. Holding it high, Yubai took the lonely copy and handed it to Yanyu.

Yanyu caressed the lonely copy under her palm, she gradually thought about it, she smiled and ordered the steward to reward her.

When she turned around, Yanyu randomly flipped through a page of the only copy, but this one was not an only one, and the paintings in the book were new ink paintings.

Yanyu quietly hid the scroll in her sleeve, pretending to be indifferent.

Daiyu was talking to Grandma Zhuang over there, when Yanyu entered the room.

Instructing Yiyue to wait outside the house, Yanyu sat down on the wicker chair by the window, opened the book and read it carefully.

Every page in the book is painted with very different pictures, which seem to have deep meanings.

Yanyu started to read from the first page, and secretly complained that Mu Yun's painting skills were really bad, while thinking about the meaning of this painting.

In the painting, several people are wielding swords, and a few strokes have been added randomly on it, so it is really impossible to tell what the painting is.

"Sister." Hearing Daiyu's voice entering the room, Yanyu hastily closed the book and put it aside casually, and saw Yiqing rolling up the embroidered curtain, and Daiyu came in holding a book, "Sister, the Zhuang family's sister-in-law said that she will arrange flowers in the next ten days." Banquet, do we have to go to the dealer to attend the flower banquet?"

Yanyu heard this and said: "I have to ask what mother means?"

Daiyu shook her head: "Mother let us make our own decisions."

Since the banker invited him, it was hard to refuse.

It's just such a situation, it's the beginning of spring, and most of the flowers are only buds, so this flower feast always seems inappropriate.

"Hey, sister, what kind of book is this?" Daiyu sat down at the crescent table, her eyes suddenly fell on the scroll on the table, and she was about to pick up the book; Yanyu hurriedly tried to stop her, but she saw that Daiyu had already opened it. After reading a page of the scroll, he let out another cry of surprise, "This painting is so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere before."

Yanyu suddenly hesitated: "This painting?"

Daiyu was still trying to remember, and Yanyu was afraid that she would remember something strange, so she reached out to fetch the scroll.

"It seems to be a painting in an ancient book." Daiyu got up and rummaged in front of the wooden shelf where various scrolls were placed, and then took out the Taishigongshu that she had read many times, according to her vague memory. Turning to one of the pages, "Yes, this is the painting. Sister, look at the words on it, Emperor Wen Shengjia."

Yanyu leaned over to compare and compared, although the paintings on Mu Yun's scroll were a little distorted, it could be seen that Emperor Wen was indeed here.

But what does this mean?This period is the history of the early Han Dynasty when the Lius rebelled against Lv and supported the king. Emperor Wen came to the throne to cleanse the court, and the princes and princes of the Lius were extremely rewarding, but they did not end well.

There are many things that I think about carefully, but what does Mu Yun mean by sending this painting mean that the current situation in the court is just like the situation of Zhu Liu rebelling against Empress Lu?Or there will be a major change in the court, and the new king still has the remnants of the Wen family who are still wicked, always wanting to make a comeback and seek a great cause. Maybe it is the resurgence of the Mu family that gives them great hope.

"But why is this painting here?" Daiyu muttered in a low voice, puzzled, she really didn't understand.

"Emperor Wen came to the map, maybe history will always be a reincarnation." Yanyu frowned and said uncertainly, "I'm afraid it will be unstable outside again, after all, there are still a group of wolves, tigers and leopards watching. I don’t know how many things with ulterior motives are hidden.”

Daiyu listened quietly to her, and then nodded: "As long as the remnants of the Wen family are still alive, the capital cannot be peaceful. I heard that there is a woman who makes trouble regularly when I go to Zai Yingping, and it seems that she has something to do with the Wen family." .”
