The two of them messed around until it was dark before they rested. Du Yaoyao was so tired that she couldn't lift a finger, and slept until the sun was up the next day.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yin Ye dressed festively and opened the curtain, "Ma'am, are you awake?"
Du Yaoyao rubbed her drowsy head, looked around the room, and then looked at the door.
Yinye immediately understood, and said: "My lord has gone to the palace, come back later for dinner."
Du Yaoyao nodded. I almost forgot that on the first day of the first lunar month, the ancient officials would gather in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay New Year greetings to the emperor.
Thinking of this, she asked: "Is there no one from our house today?"
Usually, the wives of Shen Jie's subordinates and colleagues often handed over posts to visit, so it is reasonable to see that they also come and go today.
Yinye said: "Here we come. There are several waves of New Year's greetings in the morning. Your Excellency has already told you that Madam is weak and sees no visitors. Accept the gift and congratulate them before they leave."
"Yes." Du Yaoyao looked at A gorgeous and delicate red dress at the end of the bed.
Yinye smiled and said: "My lord prepared this for my wife, and I saved it for the first month. There are more than a dozen sets of the same color and different styles in the closet. They use the brocade that is popular in the south. I heard that it costs a hundred taels of silver. The ladies and gentlemen here are vying for it."
These words were a bit ostentatious, and Shen Jie had more than a dozen sets for others to woo.
Du Yaoyao understands that he is satisfied with her recently, she "feeds" him really "feeds" very full.
In modern times, the benefactors don't also have clothes and money for Xiaoqinger, they just take what they need.
The skirt is really good-looking, the color of carmine is like flowers and mist, it is both graceful and elegant, and it is like a fairy, which makes people sweet and charming.
It was better than the one she wore during the Chinese New Year, she was not willing to order such an expensive material.
As expected of being able to subdue so many women in the book, Shen Jie has a good eye. Du Yaoyao thought strangely.
"Ma'am, where did you keep the jade pendant under your pillow?" Yin Ye asked after tidying up the bed.
Du Yaoyao turned her head, and under her pillow was the 10,000 taels of lucky money given by Shen Jie last night. When will there be more jade pendants?
"Bring it here and let me have a look."
Yinye walked to the dowry holding the jade pendant.
Du Yaoyao took it. The jade pendant is in the shape of a ring, the whole body is white and crystal clear, without any blemishes, and there is a flying phoenix embroidered in the middle, which is very exquisite and lifelike.
She doesn't understand jade, but from the texture and color, it is so moist and bright, it is absolutely extraordinary. Fine workmanship should come from everyone's hands. Since ancient times, the dragon refers to men, the phoenix refers to women, and the owner of the jade pendant is probably a woman.
Du Yaoyao immediately thought of Shen Jie's mother.
Shen's mother died young and was Lin Xianggong's legitimate daughter. She guessed that this jade pendant was a relic left by Shen Jie's mother.
When a man gives his mother's belongings to a woman, it is more or less a confession of his heart. Du Yaoyao couldn't be happy, her hands even trembled a little.
——The original book is exactly this jade pendant, which is the cause of the death of the original owner.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Seeing that Du Yaoyao was not in the right state, Yin Ye asked softly.
"It's okay." Du Yaoyao shook her head and forced a smile, "If Shen Jie asks, just say that I like what he gave you very much." Pass the jade pendant to Yin Ye, "Find me a brocade bag to pack it in."
"Yes . " Silver leaf put it away, secretly wondering, Madam doesn't look like she likes it.
Back at her natal home in the second day of junior high school, Du Yaoyao asked Yinye about her parents' hobbies and family situation intentionally or unintentionally.
The gift Shen Jie has been prepared, Father Du loves tea, Shen Jie collects several kinds of rare tea leaves, two of them are court tributes, and asked the prince to ask for them. Mother Du liked rouge and gouache, so Shen Jie ordered his servants to buy a box of various types in the capital.
Even the concubines of Du's father and Du Yaoyao's concubine, none of the presents were left behind, so it can be said that they were inconsiderate in their work.
The next day, several horse-drawn carriages drove from Shen's mansion to Qingzhou. Sitting in the carriage, Du Yaoyao felt an unreal feeling of trance.
In the book, Shen Jie never accompanied the original owner back to her natal home. When she returned after three days of marriage, he went to the Yongning Hou Mansion with her symbolically, offered a cup of tea to his aunt Du Shi, and did not stay for lunch.
Every year on the second day of the new year, Shen Jie was so busy that no one was seen, and the original owner had no face to go back alone. People in Qingzhou only said that she was married to a high-ranking official in the capital, and she was very beautiful. They don't know why she didn't return home for several years.
But the original owner was heartless and cared for her cousin, she didn't care much whether Shen Jie would accompany her home or not.
Du Yaoyao cared, judging from the information in the book, Shen Jie temporarily decided her life and death.
"Lady, are you tired?" Shen Jie sat upright, rubbing the back of the person in his arms.
Du Yaoyao lay on his chest and complained aggrievedly, "My back hurts so much, and my knees hurt too..."
All thanks to him working late last night, saying that you should be loving at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, which means a year full of harmony.
Just looking for reasons to eat meat every day.
"You are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is, and you who are blessed don't know how to be blessed." Shen Jie teased.
Du Yaoyao was dissatisfied, "I'm almost exhausted, I'm so hungry, I don't know if I'm full!"
Others have their annual holidays and play around. Shen Jie was on her annual leave, and if she had nothing to do, she had to exercise on the bed, which made her acupoints swollen and her legs weak.
Why did he suddenly mention "hungry man", Du Yaoyao wondered: "Have you met someone who recommended himself as a pillow recently?
"
"Why do you ask like that?" Shen Jie was surprised.
"Then you say 'hungry man'." Du Yaoyao reminded.
"This." Shen Jie was stunned, and explained with a smile, "It's Chu De. He said that he was exhausted, and the concubines in each house were vying for favor. He was afraid that he would not have enough energy, so he drank Dabu soup every day..." To
be precise , Chu De's original words are that women are like wolves and tigers for a long time, and he is really afraid that he will be exhausted on the bed.
Shen Jie and Du Yaoyao said this obscenely.
Du Yaoyao curled her lips when she heard the words, and spit secretly: "Wretched man, big pig!" He didn't speak very kindly to Shen Jie, "Don't you envy him?"
"No way," Shen Jie pinched her face, coaxing, "I'm enough with my slenderness!" A
man's mouth is a deceitful ghost! How about you and Chu De getting along together? Du Yaoyao rolled her eyes in confusion.
"If it wasn't for that encounter, Chu De wouldn't have become like this..." Shen Jie sighed.
What happened? Du Yaoyao was curious. Shen Jie didn't continue, and she didn't ask. A wise man has to keep in mind that the more you know, the sooner you die, especially with royal secrets like this.
As if thinking of something, Du Yaoyao took out the brocade bag on her chest, opened it, and asked tentatively, "This jade pendant is beautiful, isn't it expensive to buy?"
Shen Jie rubbed the jade body and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Du Yaoyao pretended to be happy, and pointed to the red string on her neck, "I'm afraid it will be damaged, so I specially strung up a rope to hang it around
my neck." Be careful with relics!
Shen Jie really showed a look of relief, Du Yaoyao knew that she was right, so she pretended to be more obedient.
Shen Jie said: "This is carved from suet white jade, left by my mother."
Suet white jade is the best among jades, Du Yaoyao has seen it on TV, and the auction price of good jade can reach hundreds of millions.
"Ah?" She yelled pretendingly, "This is too precious, I'm so careless, what if I drop it and touch it?" She gestured to take off the brocade bag.
"No need," Shen Jie stopped, "it was originally reserved for the daughter-in-law." Phoenix jade ornaments are not suitable for men to wear.
"Then I thank mother!" Du Yaoyao carefully put it into the collar.
