Cui Zian glanced at Cui Lingwei with concern and said, "Lingwei, they didn't ask you to do anything you shouldn't do, right?"
Hearing Cui Zian's words, Cui Lingwei was a little confused and asked, "What shouldn't you do?"
"Seventy taels of silver for one makeup session. This price is really too high." Cui Zian murmured in a low voice.
After hearing this, Cui Lingwei realized what Cui Zian was talking about. She chuckled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm doing serious business, and I'm not getting involved with those irrelevant people."
"This price is also because the cosmetics released this time are so popular, which has brought a lot of business to Xiaochunshan's store. Therefore, boss Lan Jue said he would give me some money."
After hearing this explanation, Cui Zian still didn't believe it, but he still nodded.
Anyway, next time he will go to Xiaochun Mountain to check it out.
And he doesn't plan to let Lingwei come to Beijing again.
After thinking about it these days, he still felt that the road he was going to take was too dangerous. Even if he escaped the danger this time, no one knew what he would face next time.
My mother has always told me to take good care of my sister.
If he allowed Lingwei to continue to stay in the capital, he didn't know how many risks he would have to bear.
Therefore, he asked Lady Cui to go back to Huaitai this time because he also wanted to find a good marriage for his sister in Huaitai.
Although the seventh-rank petty officials in the capital were not enough, in a small mountain city like Huaitai, his sister was worthy of most of the young talents in Huaitai.
Of course, he had no intention of telling Cui Lingwei these things now.
He patted Cui Lingwei on the shoulder and said, "Please take good care of your sister-in-law along the way."
Cui Lingwei nodded.
Cui Zian then handed Cui Lingwei the seventy taels of silver that Cui Lingwei gave him and said, "You can keep these too."
"But brother, what will you do if we hold the silver?" Cui Lingwei couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Cui Zian smiled and rubbed his sister's head, and said softly, "Lingwei, you don't have to worry about me. His Highness Prince Liang has arranged everything for me before this, whether it's safety or daily necessities."
After hearing Cui Zian's words, Cui Lingwei finally stopped asking her brother about this.
After that, the brother and sister talked for a while, and then the matter passed.
Three days later, Cui Lingwei and Lady Cui left Cui Mansion in the capital.
The person who came to meet Cui Lingwei was naturally Du Zechi.
In addition to Du Zechi, Jiang Nianjiao only arranged some secret guards for Du Zechi's motorcade.
In this group, there were only a few people seeing him off.
Even Cui Zian didn't go to see him off because he was busy with official duties.
Cui Lingwei took one last look at the capital, and secretly sighed in her heart that she might never return to the capital again in her life.
Jiang Nianjiao only stayed in Prince Jin's Mansion for a few days. Zhao Yanzhen seemed to be afraid that something like the last time would happen to her again. During this period, he only said that he would not allow her to travel far away again.
After being cooped up in Prince Jin's Mansion for several days, Jiang Nianjiao was not allowed to leave Prince Jin's Mansion until she received Concubine Qi's spring banquet invitation in March.
But even so, Zhao Yanzhen only asked the capable secret guards around him to follow Jiang Nianjiao step by step.
This year's spring banquet was held in Lujing Palace, and the flowers in March were nothing more than early spring peaches and plums, and magnolias welcoming the spring.
However, due to the arrival of young ladies of suitable age and young masters from various mansions, this beautiful forest has also gained a different kind of vitality.
This spring banquet is meant to increase opportunities for unmarried men and women to interact in the name of flower viewing.
Therefore, today's protagonists are naturally those unmarried young people.
Jiang Nianjiao herself had attended a spring banquet, but she didn't want to. Within a year, she married Prince Jin, who she had not had much interaction with at the banquet at that time.
For this reason, as a married woman, she could only serve as an elder at the spring banquet, chatting about family affairs with Concubine Qi, even the wives of marquises in various mansions, and wives of officials.
Concubine Qi's intention to hold the spring banquet is also very obvious. She wants to find concubines for her son Zhao Chengyuan. After all, these sons of Emperor Yong
, except for those who are underage, now there is only one Zhao Chengyuan who has not established a government or married a wife.
At the banquet in previous years, Zhao Chengyuan was honored as a prince.
But firstly because he is cute and naive, secondly because he is huge, and he is an idle prince with no future.
Therefore, in this kind of market where you can freely choose your target, he is always the leftover product.
This year, Concubine Qi wants to find a suitable wife for her son.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
Therefore, not long after Jiang Nianjiao arrived, Concubine Qi took Jiang Nianjiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, I invite you here this time not only to arrange a good marriage for Chengyuan, but also to give Chengyuan advice. Ichiban.”
Regarding Concubine Qi's words, Jiang Nianjiao already knew the purpose when she received Concubine Qi's invitation, so this time she only specially brought Lan Jue to the palace.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will let Boss Lan take care of His Highness Chengyuan."
After speaking, Jiang Nianjiao introduced Lan Jue, who was pretending to be a bodyguard, to Concubine Qi.
She whispered, "Madam, this is the boss of Xiaochunshan, and he is also the boss of my most profitable shop. He has planned many beautiful makeup products before. Even I myself sometimes invite him over." Match.”
Concubine Qi nodded in approval, then looked at Jiang Nianjiao and said, "Is your outfit today designed by Boss Lan?"
Jiang Nianjiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Lan Jue took care of it for me."
Concubine Qi only chuckled when she heard this. She had always known that Jiang Nian was pretty, but her outfit today made her beauty index rise several degrees.
And just when she appeared in Lujing Palace today, she had already attracted the attention of countless people.
When the unmarried young masters and princes saw her on the stage, their eyes undoubtedly lit up. They just didn't know which family she was from, and then when they found out that she was married, their eyes undoubtedly flashed with disappointment. .
Concubine Qi looked at Jiang Nianjiao, and then said softly, "Gillian, then you can ask this boss Lan to be a consultant for our Chengyuan?"
Hearing Concubine Qi's words, Jiang Nianjiao nodded.
Then Concubine Qi just said to Hibiscus next to her, "Hibiscus, please take them to the house."
After receiving the order, Hibiscus led the two of them to the inner room first.
In the inner room, a chubby little man wearing white dark clothes was standing with his hands behind his back.
Until Mu Jin called out, "Your Highness, Princess Jin is here."
Hearing this sound, the fat man turned around. Almost the moment he saw Hibiscus, his eyes lit up. ..
And Jiang Nianjiao was also a little surprised when Little Fatty turned around.
Compared with the past, although Zhao Chengyuan is still relatively fat, he is not as fat as before.
He was already tall, but when he got fat he looked more like a brown bear. At best, he was naive, at worst, he was overweight.
At least in the past, because of his obesity, his chin almost always had several creases, and even his red and phoenix eyes were squeezed into a single slit.
But now, although he is still relatively fat, his fatness is not as obvious as before.
And his overall temperament has also been greatly improved.
Seeing Zhao Chengyuan like this, even Lan Jue smiled and said, "You guys said he was so fat before. I was thinking how difficult it would be to dress him up, but in the end, this is how difficult it is for you?"
After saying that, he only looked around Zhao Chengyuan again.
"He has a good foundation. If he loses some weight, he won't need to invite me. He will be a handsome and handsome guy."
After saying this, Lan Jue just pulled Zhao Chengyuan directly and said, "Your Highness, would you like to come with me to try on clothes first?"
Zhao Chengyuan nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Jiang Nianjiao shyly and said, "Thank you, Sister Jiao. The formula you made for me is really effective. In just a few months, I lost weight like this."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Nianjiao remembered that she had asked Su Zhirou for a prescription before.
Unexpectedly, this prescription had such an amazing effect on Zhao Chengyuan.
After that, Lan Jue almost
Without much thought, Zhao Chengyuan was packed up.
The young man wore a black robe with a round collar and peony arrow sleeves embroidered with golden phoenix patterns. He put his hair into a bun and matched it with a gold crown. After that, he only slightly modified his face.
In this way, the image of a handsome, upright and noble nobleman with flying eyebrows suddenly comes into view.
It just so happens that he has such capital and such handsome appearance, but there is a hint of shyness on his face.
This shyness neutralized his arrogance and made him seem more approachable.
At this time, not to mention Jiang Nianjiao, even Mu Jin was slightly stunned. Zhao Chengyuan was obviously not used to being looked at like this.
He only glanced at Mujin nervously and said, "Sister Mujin, am I ugly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he got a call from Lan Jue and said, "Your Highness, although you are His Highness, you can't smash my sign like this. No matter how low the lower limit is for the handsome guys and beauties that I, Lan Jue, have dealt with, they are among ordinary people." Little handsome guy and pretty girl.”
Hearing Lan Jue's words, Mu Jin just laughed out loud, "How can our Highness be so ugly? We look at you this way because you are so handsome."
Hearing what Mu Jin said and seeing Mu Jin smile at him, Zhao Chengyuan immediately felt that he had seen hope again. He looked straight at Mu Jin.
"Sister Mujin says he is handsome, then he must be very handsome."
"Okay, you guys, stop talking nonsense. I'm afraid a lot of people have already come to the Spring Banquet. You should go there quickly." Jiang Nianjiao then urged.
However, Zhao Chengyuan, who was urged, looked at Mu Jin uneasily and said, "Sister Mu Jin, I'm a little scared, why don't you accompany me there."
When Mu Jin heard this, she said without thinking, "How old are you, Your Highness? How come you are still shy now?"
However, she used to have a good relationship with Zhao Chengyuan, so she just smiled helplessly and said, "I'm really scared of you. Okay, I'll accompany you there."
