When Li Si and Yun Jin returned to the Yun family's mansion near White Horse Temple, they saw Aye and Aniang studying the osmanthus tree in the yard. Aniang smiled brightly and seemed to be pouting, while Aye
He has jumped onto the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and is cutting the branches with a knife.
The branch with the bright yellow flowers fell down, and Aniang hugged her. Aye also deliberately cut off the osmanthus branches elsewhere to make Aniang run away happily.
Yun Jin turned around and left.
Li Si wanted to continue taking a look, but accidentally met Aye's cold eyes and ran away quickly.
When I came to the yard next door, I saw Yun Jin embroidering flowers, as quiet as azaleas in an empty mountain.
Seeing Li Si and Yun Jin coming over, Yun Jin scratched her head with the needle in her hand and continued to embroider.
"Stop pretending. People use needles to scratch their hair to get some oil on their hair so that they can easily move the needle. You wash your hair every day, where do you get the oil?"
Li Si disliked the gentleness that Yun Jin could show anytime and anywhere. Whenever he saw it, he would make sarcastic remarks.
Yun Jin turned slightly and scratched her head with a needle and said, "What do you know? This is called beauty scratching her head, and many men like to watch it."
Li Sidao: "Why do you want to please a man?"
Yun Jin glanced at Li Sid and said, "Wen Huan has seen your flattery, and he said it was disgusting."
Li Sidao: "That's the boudoir fun between me and your brother. It's not good for a little girl like you to hear and see it."
Yun Jin said nothing and continued to embroider with her head down. After a while, she said to Li Si: "It's time for you to press the gold thread to make the wedding dress."
Li Sidao: "Don't you have a red wedding dress? You can give it to me first."
Yun Jin shook his head and said, "Go ahead and dream."
Li Si smiled and said, "Borrow it for a while."
Yun Jin refused mercilessly: "Don't even think about it. I have been preparing for this dress since I was ten years old. I refined a lot of gold and finally got a pound of red gold. Finally, I pressed out eight
Two gold threads.
From more than two hundred kilograms of rubies, I managed to find sixteen that could be used in the wedding dress. I also searched Aunt Naha's jade library and found eight pieces of aquamarine. I asked Ji Wangshen to help me carve them.
I searched for the buttons of the cloak for a long time before I got six pieces of mutton-fat warm jade. It took a lot of effort to cut them into thin slices and make them into hooks for the wedding dress...
I cut off half of the lotus leaves in the lotus pond of Daci'en Temple to get a thin, lotus-colored armband. The labor cost alone cost more than 500...
I also begged the old god to give me a medicine to cook my wedding clothes, so that I would be free from insects and borers for the rest of my life, and the color would always be new.
I also looked for the most reliable explorer to help me find the feather crest on the kingfisher's head to make a headdress...
I even asked people to search for the toughest whale bones in Dahang City to make the hem of the wedding dress...
So, you can look at my wedding dress and drool over it, but you can’t borrow it!"
Having grown up together, Li Si naturally knew how to speak to make Yun Jin happy. She patiently waited for Yun Jin to finish boasting with a look of eagerness on her face, and then said carefully: "Help me!"
Yun Jin put down his work and said, "Can you open your father's private treasury?"
Li Si shook his head and said, "Probably not."
Yun Jin asked again: "Can you open your mother's private treasury?"
Li Si shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it."
"Where is the prince's private treasury?"
"No, there must be rules."
Yun Jin spread his hands and said: "Then there is nothing we can do. There is nothing good in Aye's warehouse, and Aniang's private warehouse is full of gold, precious stones, and not much jade. Besides, kingfishers are hard to catch, so you can use peacock feathers to catch them."
They are also too cheap, the crested ibis’s hair is too mixed and not pure, the crane’s hair is not good either, it is too hard.
Yeah, yeah, you are so pitiful, an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter, so pitiful, you can’t even get a slightly better wedding dress, you are such a pitiful little person."
Yun Jin patted Li Si's face arrogantly, pretending to be helpless, and then crept back to the room, apparently going back to admire her wedding dress.
Li Si said to Yun Jin who was lying on the recliner reading a book, "Why don't you help me?"
Yun Jin said: "There's really nothing I can do to help with this. Cai Yun'er has been working on the wedding dress for six years. Even if you can get everything together now, you will definitely be too late in time. It's too labor-intensive."
Li Si and Yun Jin squeezed into a recliner, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am really the stupidest one in the family, right?"
Yun Jin pressed Li Si's nose and said, "Did you just know?"
Li Sidao: "Why do I think Aye, Aniang took pity on me and allowed me to marry you?"
Yun Jin smiled and said: "Being nicer to me in the future will be considered as repaying their kindness."
Li Si smiled and said: "Don't think about irritating me. As long as I marry you, even if I wear beggar's clothes, I will win."
Yun Jin said: "You don't have to worry about things like wedding clothes. Aye, my mother and I are such fair people. How can we let you suffer a loss?"
When Li Si heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He got up and ran towards the yard next door. As he ran, he shouted: "Aniang, Aniang, are my wedding clothes ready?"
Yu Xiurong, who was shaking Osmanthus flowers against Yun Chu, heard Li Si's shout from a distance.
Putting down the sweet-scented osmanthus branch in his hand, he said to Yun Chu: "When the child comes here, don't be disrespectful. After all, this is an insecure child."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "After all, they brought their Li family's bad temper and reckless failure to achieve their goals to the family."
Yu Xiurong said: "The purpose is not bad, but the means is bad."
Yunchu dropped the sweet-scented osmanthus branch in his hand and said, "Just pamper her well."
Yu Xiurong said: "When the child came into my hands, his eyes were covered with eye droppings. The princess' buttocks were soaked. There was feces and urine in the folds of her thighs. She was as pitiful as an unwanted puppy.
, even the crying sound is weaker than that of other children.
When I was changing the baby's swaddling clothes, I couldn't believe that this was the child of the emperor or the queen."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "You don't know a lot of things. If you knew, you would know that this child can survive. It is simply a miracle."
Yu Xiurong waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, I can't bear to hear those tragic things."
Li Si ran in, hugged Yu Xiurong and said, "Mom, where is my wedding dress?"
Yu Xiurong tapped her forehead and said, "Get ready. I don't know what you like, but I just saw that Caiyun'er was very interested in her, so I prepared a set for you based on her clothes. But,
Caiyun'er's is bright red, and yours is bright yellow."
"Okay, okay, grandma, take it out and show it to me."
Yu Xiurong said with some sadness: "Your father has passed the test, but your mother has not passed the test yet."
Li Si said nonchalantly: "It's already passed. When Mei Yu'er and I came out, she asked my mother-in-law to go into the palace to talk to her. We had agreed in advance that she could discuss the dowry after she went in. As for the betrothal gift, if the queen
When asked, he told me."
Yu Xiurong shook his head and said: "You don't need to worry about the rest. Aye Auntie is here. What your mother wants is just a little political gain. That thing is not rare in our family. If you want it, give it to you. If you can get it, live with it."
The key is to hold it securely.
Okay, go find Butler Cui to pick up your wedding dress. You have grown a lot in the past two years. It’s time to try and change it if it’s not suitable.”
When Li Si heard this, he hurried away again.
Yu Xiurong watched Li Si leave and said to Yun Chu with a smile: "Husband, seeing the children happy, my heart feels as good as honey."
Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "Not long ago you said you were comfortable."
Yu Xiurong said happily: "No delay, everything is comfortable."
Yun Chu said: "Wen Wenwen becomes the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Di Renjie becomes the minister of Dali Temple. This is our final bottom line."
Yu Xiurong said: "In this case, only our family and the Liu Rengui family are left in Chang'an. It will be difficult to manage Chang'an as a monolithic family."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Chang'an is eternal and the only thing that changes is the officials of Chang'an. For a long time, I have been running Chang'an, not the officials of Chang'an.
No matter who comes in and wants to leverage Chang'an's original rules, regulations, and operating methods, it is asking for death. The emperor who has tasted the benefits of Chang'an's methods will not allow it. The gentry, merchants, common people, and government soldiers who have tasted the benefits of Chang'an will not allow it.
Nor would I agree.
All they can do is make Chang'an better, not worse, so no matter who comes, it's the same, even if they risk replacing me, there won't be any changes in Chang'an."
Yu Xiurong looked at her arrogant husband with admiration and said with admiration: "As expected of my Yu Xiurong man."
Yun Chu picked up Yu Xiurong and said, "Then let's show off our glory again?"
Yu Xiurong covered her mouth and smiled: "It won't happen once."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
"It's just that during the day..."
"It doesn't matter, let this world and the gods see my glory..."
Li Si watched as Cui Guanjia ordered people to carry out seven or eight boxes and cages. After laying out mats in the yard, Li Si's wedding dress was spread out on the ground.
"I have no choice. I can't find a phoenix in this world, so I have to use peacock feather crowns to decorate the golden crown. Gold silk is a material made of a mixture of selected yellow peacock feathers and golden tussah silk. Princess, you see, there is a golden crown on the back of the wedding dress.
The whole golden phoenix, its two eyes are two naturally yellow cat's eyes. No matter which angle you look at, the golden phoenix's eyes seem to be looking over...
The only bad thing is that it is relatively heavy. When the old slave told me about this problem, the lady said that the princess is very strong and can withstand it..."
Li Si stared intently at the wedding dress in front of him, which included everything from undergarments to cloaks. His eyes seemed to turn golden yellow, and he said in a low voice, "Even if it's armor, I can wear it."
Come on, let’s go to Ziwei Palace to show off the wedding dress, and let them know that they don’t like their daughter, who has been left to the care of others since she was a child. She will never lack love or care in her life..."
Butler Cui said: "This will make your Majesty and the Queen dissatisfied."
Li Si patted his bulging chest and said: "If I can't breathe out, I won't be able to live in peace for the rest of my life. I don't want to marry into the Yun family with a belly full of evil spirits, let alone lie with Mei Yu'er full of calculations and insidiousness.
Give birth to children on the same bed.
My child is destined to be glorious, destined to live a lifetime of happiness and joy.
Today, even if I am beheaded, I must go to Ziwei Palace to show off my wedding dress."
