The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 191: Heavy Makeup and Light Makeup
They chatted and laughed for a while, and Li Zhen only heard Wei Yu say: Since it was the wine brought by Li Xiwei, we should drink it first, so she asked someone to open the jar of wine that Li Xiwei brought.
For a moment, the aroma of wine filled the air, and the sweet fragrance wafted in the air.
Wei Yu praised generously, "I know where this wine is from. Ah-Cheng brought this jar, so they didn't make a mistake this time. That wine shop is famous for brewing fine wine, but it is also famous for giving inferior wine to customers who don't know better."
Seeing her doubt, Wei Yu continued, "The reason why the wine shop can cheat customers is that the wine shop where he brewed wine was originally in Chang'an, and he often supplied it to dignitaries. Now he has come to Luoyang to see ordinary gentry and wealthy people. Maybe they have not tasted the good and the bad. Over time, they have been selling inferior products as good ones."
Li Xizhen didn't quite understand why this had become a consensus. She couldn't help but ask, "It's already a famous store, but if it does this, isn't it ruining its reputation?"
"It's because the shopkeeper died of illness during the relocation of the capital. Now this shopkeeper is quite profit-driven. Once the wine is sold out, the wine shop will not be able to continue operating." Li Xun explained.
"Fourth uncle knows so much?" Li Xi was puzzled. Apart from caring about patients and medicinal materials, when had fourth uncle ever cared about the affairs of the wine shop? He had actually changed his nature.
Wei Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't know this. We went to that wine shop and had a drink once. The taste was ordinary, but much better than other wines. When we sent someone to buy wine the second time, they brought back inferior wine. We forced them to exchange it, but they said they were extorting money and couldn't do it. Later, we sent another servant to buy wine, and the wine they brought back was also inferior. This happened several times in a row, and it attracted the attention of His Highness. When he went there again, he only served good wine. After a few times, we knew the tricks of this shop owner."
Li Xizhen pondered and asked, "How does the shopkeeper know whether Fourth Uncle can taste good wine?"
Li Jian pointed to the wine jar and said, "You will know it after hearing it."
"Uncle, you don't know, I was almost deceived!"
Li Zhen poured three cups and asked Wei Yu the reason.
Li Xiqie then told the story of the man in black clothes who he met at the threshold of the tavern, and that after buying the wine, before he left the tavern, the man in black clothes spoke out for justice and told the story.
Wei Yu was surprised and asked, "It seems that the young man in black also knew that the wine shop cheated its customers, so he reminded you?"
"Perhaps because I am a young lady, they can't bear to see me being deceived. It is said that the black-clothed man has been on the battlefield. I think he is about 20 years old and looks like a Hu person." At this point, Li Xi asked again, "Can you guess who he is, aunt?"
Wei Yu and Li Xuantong couldn't guess, so they just let her speak.
Li Xiqi explained: "There are only a few people with Hu faces in the court now, and the only one who has fought in the battlefield and is quite famous is the prince who was given the surname Li by the ancestor emperor."
Wei Yu suddenly realized and said thoughtfully, "So, the black-clothed man is the son of Prince Li Keyong?"
"Have you revealed your identity?" Li Zhen couldn't help but frown, fearing that his niece would be in danger. After all, every prince was an extremely dangerous person.
Li Xiying shook her head and replied, "We only met once, he doesn't know who I am."
"But as a vassal state, Zhu Wen is superior to the court and now he is holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. The other vassal states will certainly not be hostile to the royal family. Among so many vassal states, only Li Keyong could compete with him. Now Li Keyong is old and frail, and it is difficult, but his son is young. Who says he is not a person who can be used?"
Wei Yu nodded, "Yes, in today's world, no one cares about good or bad, as long as those outside the imperial power are treacherous. But if the treacherous are willing to help the imperial power, it is also a temporary measure."
Li Xuan frowned and said, "I hope so, but Ah-Chen should not get involved in the disputes between the princes. The world is unpredictable. Don't let others spy on your identity. This is tantamount to handing someone the handle of a knife."
She knew that there was no real goodness in the world, only the right time, right place and right people, and her grandfather was born at the wrong time. However, since ancient times, the winners have been kings and the losers have been bandits. This ending may have been destined as early as the founding of the country. Zhu Wen's power will not last forever, so I believe that the time to serve the king will not be far away.
Li Xiying thought about it for a moment. The black-clothed man had no idea of her identity and would not spy on an ordinary woman for no reason. Therefore, the black-clothed man did not need anyone to instigate him. Almost no one wanted to get rid of Zhu Wen as soon as possible.
Wei Yu's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she said gently, "Speaking of this, we should toast each other!"
Just now, the attendants brought a lot of tea and snacks one after another, and Li Zhen poured the wine himself. Wei Yu raised the cup and smiled at Li Xiying.
Li Xifang held up the cup and smiled, "Then I'll wish Fourth Uncle and Auntie a happy and prosperous marriage one day in advance!"
All three of them drank one cup.
As the wine slid down his throat, Li Xi's face flushed. He became confused and muttered, "Although this wine is good, it's still not as good as the one in my village... Hehehe..."
Before he could finish his words, he found himself laughing and couldn't stop. Then he fell into Wei Yu's arms.
The two looked at each other, and Wei Yu smiled and said, "Except for Ah-Cheng, I have never seen anyone with such a poor alcohol tolerance."
Li Xuan shook his head and called a maid to carry Li Xixuan back to the room. He was so happy that he forgot about his niece's drinking.
Wei Yu supported her gently and said softly, "Slow down, don't let her fall!"
After the maids carried their niece away, the two fell into silence, with the aroma of wine lingering in the air and the atmosphere seductive.
Li Zhen's cheeks flushed: "Madam, you and I should drink a cup together."
Wei Yu looked at him and couldn't help but smile, "Your Highness?"
Li Xuan held her soft hand and tried to say something sweet for the first time: "You can call me husband."
Wei Yu followed her instructions and called softly, "Husband...husband."
The starry sky at night is like the turbulent times that the world is experiencing.
Lying on the mattress, Li Xiying not only dreamed of her mother but also her grandfather tonight. The two of them held her hands and took her back to her childhood.
The dusk was warm, and so was A-niang's face. She smiled and said, "A-niang, can you teach me how to throw?"...
After saying that, she felt the warmth from A Niang's palm, and she grabbed her little hand and taught her how to exert force.
Grandpa stood aside and shook his head, "Ah-yi, your throwing skills are really bad! Let me teach you."
The mother looked at him with burning eyes, and the grandfather smiled and said, "It's still the mother who taught the child well, well taught!"
Li Xiying was still smiling with the corners of her lips curved, and the scene suddenly changed.
Ah Niang disappeared in the smoke and dust. She squatted down and said to her daughter, "Ah, love yourself well for me!"
……
The next day.
After Li Xixiao got up, she was in a daze for a while, and then came early to have lunch with Wei Yu.
After lunch, the servants began to come and dress up.
According to the ancient etiquette that has been followed in the Tang Dynasty, the wedding is held at dusk, so it is called "hunli". Because it is when the day and night are changing, yin and yang are combined, it implies a good match between Qin and Jin, which is a match made in heaven.
Wei Yu had already washed up in the room and was now sitting in front of her dressing table. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and a skilled and experienced maid was combing her three thousand strands of hair for her. Every time she combed her hair, she said something auspicious as per the custom.
Therefore, Li Xiqi had to admire the ability of the maid. She combed her hair dozens of times, and each time there was an auspicious word, and they were all different.
After her hair was arranged in an intricate and exquisite bun, her face was painted with rouge, dimples, and flower ornaments, and a necklace was worn around her neck, she looked a completely different person.
So she changed into a green dress with flower hairpins.
Wei Yu's face looked very rosy because she had applied rouge. She asked Li Xiying, "Am I beautiful today?"
Li Xiying looked at her carefully for a while and said, "Auntie's face is always good. It's true that 'heavy makeup and light makeup always go well'. So today's heavy attire makes her look even more golden."
Wei Yu smiled and joked, "After hearing what you said, the more I look in the mirror, the more I look like a golden and green jewelry stand."
The maid beside her also laughed and said, "Where can you find such a dignified and beautiful jewelry stand? If there is, all the men in this world would spend millions of gold to buy it."
After a few people laughed for a while, the scene outside became more and more lively. It seemed that the auspicious time had almost arrived.
