The deep concern for the country, the sincere patriotism, and the wonderful words of love are impeccable.
The three words Li Qingzhao have reached the ears of more and more people.
…
Bianliang City was indeed the most prosperous and economically prosperous metropolis at that time.
There are rows of houses on both sides of the road. There are wine shops, teahouses, cloth shops, medicine shops, jewelry stores, and beautiful shops. It seems that there is nothing you can't imagine, and there is nothing that Bianliang does not have.
When they reached a crowded road, Li Qingzhao got off the sedan and plunged into the crowd of people.
The cries of vendors, the dazzling array of stalls, and the almost impenetrable roads and bridges.
At this moment, Li Qingzhao seemed to really understand the phrase "Tokyo's rich and charming eyes".
However, why was there no hidden fire trooper downstairs at Wanghuo, and why was it even being used as a wine shop?
Li Qingzhao suddenly remembered that when she entered the city, the city walls collapsed on all sides and there were no soldiers guarding the city gates.
Freedom is freedom, prosperity is prosperity, but under the feet of the majestic emperor, there is an undefended city.
For a moment, Li Qingzhao didn't know whether to say whether the officials in Gyeonggi were arrogant or confident.
Li Qingzhao sighed and took the maid directly to the largest jewelry store in Bianliang City.
Her haircut ceremony is coming soon, and grandma always wants to give her the best.
Obviously, a lot of luxurious jewelry and clothing have been added to the house recently. Even the necessary wine sets, rice bowls, incense burners and futons, Auntie personally drew the patterns and handed them over to the craftsmen to make them specially.
But despite this, Aniang still felt that she was not prepared enough.
No, she was allowed to come out and purchase freely according to her heart.
Because she had just arrived, she was not familiar with the handkerchief handing in Beijing, and her mother-in-law personally came to invite everyone from the big ones to the deacons, trying to make sure that her haircut ceremony would not be inferior to that of her daughter who had grown up in the capital.
This was the first time she saw her mother-in-law act so seriously.
However, Aniang said that the haircut ceremony is of great significance. It is not as others say that a woman can get married after she has had her haircut for fifteen years.
Hairpins are never meant to get married.
The greatest significance of the Haircut Ceremony is to clearly affirm oneself, to be able to realize self-worth and assume responsibilities with independent thinking.
From this moment on, her most important identity is herself, not anyone's dependency.
This was what A-niang told her. It was different from what she heard at other people's haircut ceremonies, but it was particularly powerful.
Put yourself first, then belong to someone else.
Grandma’s words and deeds since she was a child have given her the greatest confidence to walk in the world calmly and confidently.
"Little lady?"
"If you are not satisfied with these, the store can also draw and customize it according to the lady's wishes, and the storage will satisfy you."
The storekeeper watches what is said and speaks at the right time.
Li Qingzhao came back to his senses and shook his head, "That's it."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then put the gold hairpin in the box with a smile on his face, wrapped it up, and handed it to Li Qingzhao with both hands.
Sales of this lamp-style hairpin have never been high.
Young ladies despise it as not fashionable enough, and ladies with children feel it is not calm and dignified enough.
The shopkeeper planned to sell it, but he never thought it would be sold.
Holding the hairpin in his arms, Li Qingzhao ran home happily and happily handed Sunge "Auntie, a gift."
This is the hairpin she chose for her grandma with the monthly money she saved.
Her haircut should also be her achievement.
Sunge frowned and let Li Qingzhao insert the hairpin into her bun.
Li Qingzhao looked at the exquisitely carved and gorgeous lamp, his eyes burning slightly.
Her grandma is the best grandma.
"I asked you to buy what you like, but you bought it for me." Sun Ge poked Li Qingzhao on the head and joked.
Li Qingzhao took advantage of the situation and nestled in Sun Ge's arms, "I like grandma the most."
"Sister Zhao, have you ever met Zhao Defu?"
Since entering Bianliang, Sunge has never restrained Li Qingzhao and allowed her to play around in Bianliang City.
"Zhao Defu?" Li Qingzhao didn't react for a moment.
This name sounds a bit old.
In Bianliang City, she seemed to have not forgotten her old friend.
"The third son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Mingcheng." Sunge reminded.
"Zhao Mingcheng sent you a congratulatory gift in advance for your haircut gift in three days' time."
"A unique ancient book."
This gift is not light.
Solitary copies are always valuable but have no market, and it takes many attempts to obtain them.
Li Qingzhao suddenly realized that "we only met him a few times and discussed his views on gold and stone, but we have no deep friendship."
When he said this, Sunge stared closely at Li Qingzhao's expression.
Frank and natural.
Sunge breathed a sigh of relief. She was not stubborn about cutting off the destined fate between Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng.
She just thought that even if a good relationship was achieved, Li Qingzhao could still love himself first.
"Auntie, I know that Mr. Zhao and his father have different political views and are divided into factions, so I deliberately kept a distance."
A-niang has never concealed the current situation in the court. The struggle between the reformists and the conservatives did not end with the resignation and death of the previous official, but intensified.
My father was a disciple of Mr. Zizhan, but Mr. Zizhan said that Mr. Zhao Ting and Mr. Zhao gathered villains, learned and practiced nothing, and both sides despised each other.
"Then tell me, grandma, what kind of person is Zhao Mingcheng?"
"Looking at appearance alone, Zhao Mingcheng has beautiful features and a slender figure. Every time we meet him, he is well-dressed and personable. He must abide by etiquette."
"As for his hobbies, he is obsessed with gold, stone and antiques. I heard that he can also write lyrics, but his writing seems to be average."
"In terms of temperament..."
Li Qingzhao paused, "My daughter doesn't dare to make any judgments yet, but she vaguely feels that he is not frank and forthright enough. Apart from gold and stone antiques, he is a bit indecisive on other matters."
"This is just my daughter's feeling after the conversation. It may not be true."
A child from an official family can understand even the convoluted words.
Sunge: Every chance encounter?
Bianliang City is so big and there are so many people. What a coincidence it would take to meet each other by chance again and again.
Perhaps Zhao Mingcheng was already interested in her little cabbage, so he prepared to boil the frog in warm water and slowly took it.
If she were a man, she would be able to do all kinds of tricks to chase people.
Sunge, who said this, had subconsciously ignored that when she was a eunuch, she was a widower and had no food in her life. When she was an emperor, she married a queen through a political marriage and doted on her as a daughter. She herself was the orphan and widower for thousands of years.
Still full of tricks?
What tricks?
Wave your hand?
Sun Ge curled his lips and left Zhao Mingcheng behind.
Before entering the capital, she had already asked someone to investigate Zhao Mingcheng clearly. The question she just asked was just to know what Sister Zhao was thinking.
Speaking of which, Zhao Mingcheng is considered to be the most handsome among the officials and officials in Bianliang City.
He has no dandy habits, has never used his power to bully others, and has no bad habits that are hard to find.
If you can get into Taixue on your own, even if your talent and academic skills are average, you will still be able to see past it.
As for the gold, stone, antiques and inscriptions, the Zhao family can afford them.
