Chapter 5

"Miss two, this is the make-up given to you by the first lady."

Mu Mingtang opened it and saw that it was a box of jewelry. It was only made of gold. Most of it was sent to Miss Jiang because she hated the vulgarity of gold and white things.

Mu Mingtang immediately buttoned the lid and held it in his hand. He didn't want to let go. Although she is older than me, I am her sister-in-law after all, and I have a higher seniority than her. It's all a family. Why are you so polite? "

However, Mu Mingtang's hand is holding the wooden box tightly, which is quite the momentum when he faces the red envelope of new year's money from his relatives.

Obviously, the servant girl was speechless. In fact, not long ago, the servant girl was still serving Mu Mingtang.

Mu Mingtang completely packed into Jiang Mingwei's house, and all the people around him were Jiang Mingwei's old servants. It is conceivable that these servant girls are more critical of Mu Mingtang than Mrs. Jiang. Now that Jiang Mingwei is back, these servant girls can return to their real masters.

Mu Mingtang and his servant girl face to face now. They are really tired of seeing each other. The servant girl dislikes Mu Mingtang and doesn't appear on the stage. The vulgar big gold hairpin is just like Mu Mingtang, who has never seen the world.

Mu Mingtang also thinks that Jiang Mingwei has a problem with her eyes. Those high-quality jade and stones can be used in prosperous times. What's the change? Can jade be sold?

It's still gold. Look at the golden color. How beautiful it is.

The servant girl turned her eyes and said, "you're welcome, miss two. Now the wife is buying a dowry for the young lady. The young lady wants to marry and become the princess of Jin. She can't show her shyness. These hairpins are not in line with the identity of the Jin palace. The young lady doesn't need them, so she thinks that the second young lady should need them here. "

"Yes, I can use them all." Mu Mingtang had already put away the box and said, "I, as a sister-in-law, have nothing to give back to the eldest lady. I wish the eldest lady and the king of Jin a happy marriage for a lifetime. Well, you can go. "

The servant girl is so angry that this woman will not accept the help of the Jiang family if she has some backbone. I didn't expect that Mu Mingtang put it away without saying a word. She had no skin and no face, so she couldn't hear her irony. The servant girl was so angry by the vulgar woman that she left.

Now Mu Mingtang has completely torn her face with the Chiang family, and she has no image temperament. She has no such thing at all. Although she pointed to her nose and scolded Jiang Honghao during the day, Jiang Mingwei gave her money. Why not?

Mu Mingtang doesn't need backbone. She only needs money.

After waiting for the servant girl to leave, Mu Mingtang stands up and gives this box of gold jewelry a new hiding place. Now she is placed in the guest room. In the eyes of the Jiang family, she is completely out of favor and in the frontier. However, for mu Mingtang, life is much happier now than in the previous year.

The year before last, she was like a puppet. She was not allowed to stride or talk loudly. She even had to take a small bite to eat. She was allowed to swallow seven times in her mouth. And what she does casually, the servant girl's mother-in-law behind her points out that she has lost the respectability of a famous lady.

Mu Mingtang is really fed up with these birds. Now she lives in a quiet guest room. There is no servant girl around her. She walks without a ruler and stares at her back. Except for three meals a day, no one cares about her. It's so good. Jiang Mingwei's days as a famous lady, let's live by who we love.

Mu Mingtang got a box of gold jewelry. He was so fresh that even the anger he received at Jiang's house today disappeared. If someone insults her with gold every day, it's not polite at all. You can trample on her dignity.

After thinking for a while, Mu Mingtang suddenly realized something. Today, Jiang Mingwei reminds her that tomorrow she has to remind the Jiang family to prepare a dowry for her.

Jiang Honghao bought her at a good price. If he wants to keep a dime, he can't.

The next day, Mrs. Jiang sent Jiang Honghao to the court, and then happily called the tailor who had agreed yesterday to come in and choose the material for Jiang Mingwei.

Jiang Mingwei doesn't like bright colors, but she has to wear bright red when she gets married. Moreover, she is going to be a princess, so she needs to wear bright red clothes on many occasions. Today, Mrs. Jiang made an agreement with the clothing shop to choose proper clothes for Jiang Mingwei's wedding, such as kneeling down to worship her parents in law, meeting her aunt, paying homage to her parents, and offering sacrifices.

Several daughter-in-law with tight hair gathered around Mrs. Jiang and showed Mrs. Jiang all kinds of cloth like flowers in their mouths. One of the shopkeepers shook the cloth open and showed Mrs. Jiang the luster from all angles: "madam, this material is the most expensive. Not only the color is right, but also the dark pattern is woven. You see, this is Wanfu Ruyi, and this angle has become the reduced word pattern. "

After the female shopkeeper showed it, Mrs. Jiang was surprised. Another person is not willing to show weakness, quickly pulled his own material: "dark lines are really low-key and luxurious, but far away, but can't see clearly. Mrs. Jiang, you might as well take a look at our cloth. This cloth is made of three layers of knitting. When you walk in the sun during the day, the light on the cloth seems to flow. At night, it's another color! "

"There is such skill!" Mrs. Jiang sighed heartily that she could not make up her mind when she held the two steps in her hand and compared them left and right. "The dark lines are auspicious and the streamer is beautiful. How can I choose them?""My wife can't make up her mind. Just buy them together."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned and raised her head. The servant girl tried to block in front of Mu Mingtang. Seeing Mrs. Jiang's head, she bowed helplessly: "madam, I can't stop the second lady."

The servant girl also feels very unjust. She says clearly that her wife is not free. As a result, Mu Mingtang doesn't understand the scene, so she doesn't care. When a scholar meets a soldier, it's not clear why. Several servant girls are used to walking in high families. How can they ever see such a rude man. They chase all the way to say, or Mu Mingtang broke into the most inside.

Mrs. Jiang could guess what happened when she looked at the expressions of the maids. She waved and said, "it's none of your business. Go down."

The servant girl salutes again, and the fish passes back. As if he could not see his eyes at all, Mu Mingtang came forward and touched the cloth: "it's really good material. It feels like running water. I think both are good-looking. Why does mother have to choose one? Buy both

Mrs. Jiang was embarrassed. Several female shopkeepers looked at each other and saluted with a smile: "second lady."

These women specialize in the business of official women's dependents, and their interpersonal relationship with these high-ranking families is of course the concern of menqing'er.

"Ladies, don't be polite. Get up." Mu Mingtang didn't feel constrained at all. After Da Fangfang called everyone up, he said with a smile, "my elder sister and I are going to get married recently. We are in a hurry to get married. I'm going to trouble some ladies to run errands for us."

We? Mrs. Jiang frowned delicately, but in front of the outsider, she coughed vaguely and said, "Mingtang, I'm looking at your sister's dowry today. You're not in a hurry."

"No hurry?" Mu Mingtang rubbed his fingers reluctantly on the cloth, then let go, saying, "I was referred to the king of Qiyang. The king of Qiyang and the king of Jin are both royal families and cousins. I thought the dowry of my sister and I was equivalent."

Equivalence? What is she talking about! This is Mrs. Jiang also anxious, she euphemistically said: "grow up orderly, after all, Ming Wei is the first lady, you and her dowry, I'm afraid not very good."

"Impossible?" Mu Mingtang laughed and said, "King Qiyang is the first son of the former Emperor. Even the emperor has said that King Qiyang is no different from his parents and children. His wife married a daughter at the same family, but he treated the two princes differently?"

Mrs. Jiang's face was not very pretty. She pursed her lips and glanced at several female shopkeepers. The shopkeepers immediately bowed down and said, "Mrs. Jiang and the second young lady have something to say. It's inconvenient for me to disturb them. I'll leave first today."

"Ladies, take your time." Mu Mingtang greets the guests with a smile on his face. After that, he naturally waves to several people, "ladies, it's not easy to work hard. These fabrics don't need to be moved out. I like them all. How much is it altogether? You can put it on the account for the time being, and then Mrs. Jiang will settle the bill. "

Several female shopkeepers quietly went to see Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang's face was almost choked: "Jiang Mingtang, you can stop it."

"My name is mu, ma'am." Mu Mingtang raised his arm, flicked the ash that didn't exist on his sleeve, raised one eyebrow and said, "as Princess Qiyang, I don't even have this power?"

Mrs. Jiang couldn't speak. She took a look at the direction of several female shopkeepers and said, "put it down first, and then I'll send someone to your shop to check out."

Several female shopkeepers immediately smile and praise Mrs. Jiang's generosity and the second lady's happiness. Then he greased his feet and slipped away.

After waiting for someone to leave, Mrs. Jiang didn't need to hide. Her face suddenly sank: "what do you want to do? You'd better remember your identity. Do you really think that if you become the princess of Qiyang, you will be able to run wild on the Jiang family? "

"Yes." Mu Mingtang laughed and said, "it's Mr. Jiang who recommended me to be princess Qiyang, isn't it? How come when it's time to prepare my dowry, my wife and Mr. Jiang forget that I'm going to marry King Qiyang, just like they have lost their memory. "

"You Pointing at Mu Mingtang, Mrs. Jiang scolded angrily. Mu Mingtang was disgusted with Mrs. Jiang's gesture. She opened her eyebrows and said, "who do you look down on? Is this your attitude towards the princess? The emperor has said that the wedding ceremony of King Qiyang will be held in a big way. The ceremony system is even higher than that of King Jin. If you neglect my dowry, you are tearing down the emperor's platform. I said, I want what Jiang Mingwei has. Whenever I find something missing, I'll cut my hair and be my aunt. When the Qiyang palace comes to greet you, no one will get on the sedan chair. You can push your baby daughter to make up for it! "

After Mu Mingtang finished, he snorted and swaggered away. At this time, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she couldn't speak. She couldn't help covering her heart. Seeing this, the servant girls on both sides quickly gathered around her: "madam!"

I didn't expect that the servant girls had finished shouting, and Mu Mingtang came back. Mu Mingtang approached in the eyes of the people, and bent down to pick up a piece of cloth. The cloth was heavier than she imagined. Mu Mingtang didn't have the spare power to hold a few more. She swept her eyes twice, pointed to some of the strongest looking servant girls and said, "you, you and you, hold the rest of the cloth and go with me."

Mu Mingtang took two steps and found that there was no movement behind him. He couldn't help looking back and glancing at the crowd with slanting eyes: "I'm the Royal Princess of Qiyang. Do you want to resist the imperial edict?""I dare not." The servant girls took a quick look at Mrs. Jiang and went to Mu Mingtang with the cloth in their arms. Mu Mingtang found that it was a good feeling to be a fox pretending to be a tiger. She snorted triumphantly and walked out with great difficulty and tenacity: "I like this red color best. It's a joy to watch it. Be careful. If it falls off or gets dirty, I'll take it from you! "

After Mu Mingtang and the pile of red cloth went away, the big servant girl surrounded him and held Mrs. Jiang anxiously: "madam, look..."

"The villain will succeed, I think she can be rampant to when!" After Mrs. Jiang was angry and yelled, she covered her heart and fell down again. The servant girls helped her quickly: "madam, calm down. Don't be angry about yourself."
