Chapter 466
What Shen Xi is wearing today is not a new set of jewelry, but a set of white jade inlaid with tourmaline decorated with emerald head that Shen Tian appreciated on his birthday the year before last.
Today, all those who come here are women who have some insight. No matter how precious the white jade and the tourmaline are, they have all seen them before. Because the emperor Taizu of that dynasty despised this craft for being too cruel, he banned it and then developed the technique of burning blue. Nowadays, there is no craftsman in Dakang who can handle Diancui. Most of the common Diancui ornaments on the market are left behind by the previous dynasties, and few of them are high-quality products.
Shen Xi Dai's set is exquisite in workmanship and exquisite in materials. At first glance, it is a fine one. Let alone Xin's mother and daughter, there are only a few pairs of green hairpins in Shujing's dowry. Such a complete set of headgear can't be taken out.
Shu Jing is also a bachelor, and directly asks, "Miss Shen's head work is so exquisite that it's from the official family. I don't know where it comes from?"
Shen Xi had a leisurely look at it, and his mind was collected. He calmly replied, "this was given by the empress when I was 15 years old the year before last. It was originally from the palace of the former dynasty. It was given to the empress by the Empress Dowager. I was lucky to know that."
Wen Yan, Shu Jing Xin next tight, such jewelry must be very precious, had been received in the palace of the previous dynasty. It seems that the Shen Ze family is really valued by Queen Shen.
Some of them are from a slightly worse family. Let alone seeing them, they have never heard of Diancui craft. They are not interested in the jewelry made of bird feathers. What they care about is that it is the Queen's reward. What does it mean? It shows that the queen is Shen Xi's younger sister, and her relationship should be good, or she won't be given a birthday gift.
At that moment, someone began to calculate. It was said that the Shen girl had no husband's family, and I didn't know whether her son would win the favor of the Shen girl. Many people have calculated that they should let their son come around the Shen family in the future. Maybe they can have any adventures.
So, just a few days after the party, leisurely heard from the housekeeper that there were many strangers around the house recently. Leisurely still thinks that someone else's family has sent him to inquire about their family. Disgusted, he directly asks Shen Ze to send a team of soldiers to drive them out twice, and the family is quiet.
Of course, it's all later. It's still at the banquet. After listening to Shen Xi's reply, Shu Jing immediately said with a smile, "I see that the craftsmanship is so exquisite. I guess it's something in the palace of the former dynasty. The empress loves you so much. I'm afraid there are not many of them left in the palace. I'll give you a whole set. "
Shen Xi replied with a smile, "because it happens to be the hairpin ceremony, the reward given by the empress is a little heavier than the usual birthday. It's said that the Empress Dowager gave you a set of gold silk inlaid with jade inlaid with precious peony, Luan and bird patterns when she came out of the pavilion
Wen Yan, Shu Jing a stagnation, and then said with a smile, "did not expect such a long thing, Miss Shen also know."
Shen Xi seemingly inadvertently replied, "the things in the palace are not what I can know, but a few days ago, Princess Shujia took charge of part of the palace affairs on her behalf. When she looked at the palace archives, she wrote it down. Later, knowing that our family was coming to Rongcheng, she told me that it was this set of headgear. She looked at the style very chic, and asked the interior government to make a similar set. "
Shujing didn't want to understand the meaning of the head for a moment, so she had to say, "it's also my honor to be liked by the eldest princess. In fact, why bother like this? If I had known that the princess liked it, I would have dedicated my set to the princess to save more effort. "
Shen Xi said with a smile, "even if the princess doesn't give orders, the house will make a new face for the princess every month. The princess herself ordered the pattern, and the one over there was more economical. However, the princess was just on the spur of the moment. She only looked at her face and didn't wear it once. I said with a smile that if she didn't wear it, wouldn't she waste so many pearls and gemstones? Guess what the princess said
Shu Jing is more puzzled. She really doesn't know what medicine Shen Xi sells in his gourd. Long winded for a long time, can't you just show off her intimate relationship with the eldest princess? Seeing her like this, Shen Xi didn't care about it any more, and directly replied, "the princess said, I heard that the county master's mother still has a brother who is not married. When the time comes, the palace will reward the bride, and then give this set of jewelry to your brother-in-law. Isn't it a good thing for your sister-in-law to wear the same head?"
Sure enough, what she expected was right. Shujing sighed in her heart. After turning so many corners, she was just reminding her mother's brother of her marriage!
Seeing each other's smile, Shujing can't help but look at Shen Xi's leisurely smile. This man teaches his sister-in-law so much that her own city is even more unfathomable. Think is also, no two brushes can boil from a servant girl to two grade Gao life? Not to mention the elder sister of the number one scholar, the elder sister of the emperor, she was miserable! Shujing can't help but be annoyed. She is really a lard. She has nothing to do with it. Well, I'm threatened by others!
However, Shujing had some city officials in the end. Although she was annoyed, she pretended to have nothing to do with her face. She said with a smile, "that's very kind. In the future, it's really like what Shen's sister said. That's a great honor for my mother's family. If it does, then I'll give my sister a big gift. "
Without waiting for Shen Xi to answer, Shu Jing said with a smile, "I didn't wear that set of headgear today, but looking at the headgear that my sister-in-law wears is very similar to my set of craftsmanship."
Shen Xi was still a little immature. She immediately changed the topic with her. "Yes, the Empress Dowager rewarded her sister-in-law's face, and it's also the craftsmanship of the house of internal affairs. They are all made of silk inlaid with treasures, but the patterns are different."
Shu Jing praised that "such a smart orchid pattern is lining Lin's elder sister's elegant temperament." As soon as she opened her mouth, a slightly lower grade Gaoming naturally welcomed her.
Leisurely felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he quickly brought disaster to the East and said, "you are so ridiculous. How can I be so outstanding as you said? But it's true that this face has added some luster to me. By the way, speaking of this, it's said that Mrs. Xin's family has opened a silver building, which is famous in Fujian. The headgear Mrs. Xin is wearing today is exquisite. Is it from your own silver house
Hearing that the topic finally shifted to herself, Mrs. Xin was satisfied that she didn't waste her time in order to attend today's banquet.
