Chapter 620 Love makes people shine

New Year's Eve is in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, it was cloudy when I woke up, with clouds spreading in the sky, and it was vaguely raining.

Xue Chi went to Huiningyuan for breakfast and told Xue Mei about the arrangements for the first lunar month.

Before he could tell the serious thing, he complained to Xue Mei first: "It's like this every New Year, and it's wet. Especially in the first month, it's hard to have a good day, just like deliberately opposing us."

Xue Mei smiled: "Brother hates New Year so much?"

Xue Chi: "..."

Maybe, he really hates it.

Every time he celebrates the Reunion Festival, he will feel bad. The palace is a particularly cold and strict place.

Then he went to Liang State.

The Xue family is not warm enough, but it still looks decent during the Chinese New Year. Moreover, the weather in the early spring in the north is dry and there is not so much rain. It will rain occasionally in the first lunar month.

In contrast, Xue Chi hated the Spring Festival in the capital of Chu even more.

"Are you who have been named Princess going to the palace tonight?" Xue Mei asked again.

Xue Chi: "You want."

You can only leave the palace after you stay up to the New Year; however, at the fifth day of the fifth day, you need to go to the palace to attend the Xindan dynasty meeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year. You have to congratulate the emperor Xindan and also go to worship your ancestors.

Anyway, it's just tossing back and forth.

Like Xue Chi, he probably left the palace after staying up with the New Year, then went home to change his clothes, and then set off again to the palace.

He hates this kind of red tape.

I even hate that I can't stay with Xue Mei this year, so he has a bad temper.

However, God seemed to be intentionally against him, and there was no worst, only worse.

When Xue Chi and Xue Mei checked the menu for the banquet in the first month and the list of guests, the King Jing and his wife came again.

Xue Chi's brows frowned deeply.

A Meng was wearing a sheepskin cloak, rich and powerful. When she smiled, she looked like two small dimples filled with honey. Xue Mei liked women who were both beautiful and capable, so she admired A Meng very much and felt that A Meng's every frown and smile was so cute.

"... Mei'er is so lucky. I originally said I would take you to pay New Year's greetings. Unexpectedly, Concubine De sent me a message early in the morning, asking me to take you into the palace to stay up to the New Year." A Meng said with a smile.

Xue Mei was stunned.

She looked at A Meng in surprise and went to see Xiao Jingcheng again.

Xiao Jingcheng smiled and said, "You guessed it's good, it's the emperor who wants to see you."

Xue Mei: "..."

Mr. Liang Du of the Divine Doctor Pavilion knew her identity; and when she went to Pei's house to perform surgery on Miss Ten, Pei Xiang knew her origin very well.

Otherwise, I wouldn't trust her so much.

Miss Ten, Pei Wanzhao, is a celestial womb. The emperor has always cared about her safety and will definitely call Prime Minister Pei to the palace to ask what the situation is.

Pei Xiangru told the truth.

Emperor Jianhong did not send guards to capture Xue Mei at the first time, which means that the emperor who had experienced the wind and frost did not regard Xue Mei as a meticulous act, but as a surrender.

Xue Mei is a rare talent.

If she is a man, she is a powerful general and a good minister, and one person can be worth thousands of troops.

In order to show the royal family's welcome to Xue Mei, the emperor wanted to take the initiative to meet Xue Mei.

"Anyway, I can't escape, so go and have a look." Xue Mei smiled, "If you want to talk about it, I think this emperor must be tolerant."

Xue Chi: "..."

She was hinting that the ancestors of Liang State could not tolerate others.

Xiao Jingcheng: "No matter whether you can tolerate others or not, remember not to betray us."

Xue Mei: "This is hard to say."

"Then I'll bribe you?" Xiao Jingcheng smiled.

"What kind of bribes are used?"

Xiao Jingcheng glanced behind him, and after a moment He Fang appeared and brought a small box.

The box is a ruby ​​face of the same color. The largest ruby ​​is the size of a thumb cover, which is very expensive.

Young women wear ruby ​​jewelry, which is both rich and pretty, and is very suitable for Xue Mei to dress up in a grand manner.

Xue Mei smiled: "It's indeed a good thing, I accepted your bribe."

That afternoon, Jinping and Hongluan changed their clothes and dressed up Xue Mei.

Hongluan has excellent makeup skills and has not been abandoned in recent years. She quickly created a simple but elegant makeup for Xue Mei.

In the afternoon, it was already drizzling.

Hongluan, who had a little understanding of the capital of Chu State, smiled and said to Xue Mei: "Miss, oil paper umbrellas are still very valuable here and they are hard to buy."

"After so many years, the tung oil has not been transmitted?" Xue Mei asked with a smile.

But she could understand.

Liang State deliberately protected the method of refining tung oil. At the same time, due to traffic and information blockage, not everything will spread rapidly.

It’s just that Xue Mei’s story is very interesting and spreads it very hard.

The Chu State's prosperous agriculture, developed handicrafts, and strong military strength were their advantages. But at the same time, they still had a little understanding of the refining of cooked tung oil.

And the umbrella process also requires skilled work.

With the lack of umbrella making technology, there is little tung oil, and there are not many oil-paper umbrellas in the capital.

And the most important thing is that the oil-paper umbrella has not become the identity symbol of the noble ladies in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng does not have high-end industries and promotions from the Xiaojunwang of Xiayangcheng, and people do not have particularly high demand for expensive things like oil paper umbrellas.

"It's not many years," said Hongluan.

There are many oil paper umbrellas in Xue Mei’s space. This one was not brought out from Xiayang City, but was made halfway through, and a total of 100 were made.

Making this is not about selling it for money, but just Xue Mei wants to show her own methods.

Just like the wool flare she wore, she also wanted to tell others that her fur making skills were great.

It's time to take it out now.

Xue Mei said she went to the toilet, avoided Hongluan and Jinping, went to the warehouse behind, and then asked Zhaoying and others to go through the umbrellas.

"...I probably brought a few umbrellas." Xue Mei said.

Zhaoying went to find it.

When they found it, Zhaoying and Linbo were both shocked. The two seemed to have seen the treasure and looked at it for a while.

They didn't come out until Xue Mei called them.

Xue Mei compared the shadow and said, "Go and instruct the coachman to send some to Prince Jing's Mansion."

The photos are the same.

Then, Xue Mei dressed up properly, took a pink and white oil-paper umbrella that matched her clothes, and planned to go out.

The eldest brother was waiting for her at the gate.

Seeing her, Xue Chi was stunned for a moment.

Then, he turned his head and refused to look at her. He got on the carriage first, but he didn't help her to go up first.

Xue Mei was a little surprised and then got on the carriage.

At this time, the elder brother's face improved a lot and praised her, "This pair of ruby ​​earrings is very suitable for you."

The red gem shone with a faint light under the lights of the small corner of the carriage, falling into Xue Mei's eyes, setting off her eyes.

She is so beautiful.

It’s obviously the same eyebrows, but it has changed a lot.

"The gift from the prince is definitely the most suitable for me." Xue Mei smiled.

Xue Chi: "..."

He almost forgot that this was given to her by Xiao Jingcheng in the morning.

The beauty may not be her appearance or her jewelry, but her spirit.
