Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

"Of course, Aqin has never seen her biological mother since she was born. Since she met her mother, she has felt extremely close to her. Before, she saw that her sisters all had mothers, and Aqin's heart..." At this point, Luo Qin took out an embroidered handkerchief and covered her face with tears. Her eyes were filled with mist and sorrow, and her tears fell like pearls, which made people feel pity. She opened her red lips and said, "Aqin is the only one who knows how envious she is in her heart. Fortunately, now..."

Luo Qin gently wiped away the tears on her face and smiled. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and sincere: "Now that Ah Qin also has a mother, it is natural that I have to respect my mother well."

When Xia heard this, her heart was soothed, as if a pool of spring water was stirred. She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and she said in a choked voice, "My dear child, you have suffered so much these years. If I had known this would happen, I should have adopted you under my mother's name when you first came to Jiankang."

Luo Qin tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, now Aqin is also my mother's daughter, I am content."

Luo Jiao, Luo Rou and Luo Rong were all deeply moved by Luo Qin's true feelings and came to comfort her.

Only Luo Jin was speechless, staring at Luo Qin with eyes full of suspicion.

After Luo Qin's pretentious words, she successfully built a closer relationship with Xia Shi. Now Xia Shi looked at her like a treasure and no longer worried that Luo Qin would forget her mother's family after getting married.

"Oh, by the way, mother, sisters." Luo Qin suppressed the sadness on her face and said to everyone, "I got some things to give to you sisters, I hope you don't dislike them."

When Luo Rong heard that Luo Qin wanted to send something, she immediately became interested: "Aunt Qin, what is it?"

The others were also full of curiosity.

"We'll know right away." As he said that, Luo Qin called Rufang and two maids to bring the things up.

The maid came in front of the girls with a crimson box inlaid with mother-of-pearl in her hand, and opened it to reveal dazzling jewelry inside.

There were peacock hairpins inlaid with gold and turquoise, carved jade hairpins, gold crow crowns inlaid with agate, phoenix tail hairpins inlaid with gold and jade, gold hairpins with twisted silk butterflies and peonies, goose feathers dyed to imitate kingfisher peony flowers... Many of the handicrafts that had not yet developed in that era produced exquisite hair accessories that Xia and others had never seen before and were dazzled for a moment.

"hiss……"

After seeing these beautiful jewelry, some people couldn't help but gasp.

After a long while, Xia finally found her voice, "Aqin, this..."

"Isn't this something from the Beauty Shop?" Luo Rong said excitedly, "The new jewelry from the Beauty Shop was released a few days ago. It's very valuable! One is worth at least ten gold leaves! My entire fortune is not enough to buy one. How come you have so many, Aunt Qin?"

Luo Qin smiled and said, "These are the new jewelry from the Beauty Shop. After I heard about it, I asked someone to buy them."

When the others heard this, they immediately understood and looked at her in an ambiguous way. Xia smiled and said, "Aqin is really capable. She found such a considerate husband."

Luo Qin: "..."

No, does this mean that you think these things were bought by Xie Yun to please her?

Okay, think whatever you want.

"Mother, this is for you." Luo Qin gave Xia a peacock hairpin inlaid with gold and turquoise, a goose feather-dyed imitation kingfisher peony hairpin, and a pair of pearl and gemstone hairpins.

When Xia saw these things, her heart was warmed and she accepted them with a smile on her face.

Luo Qin then distributed the other things to several girls.

Everyone who has gotten good things envied Luo Qin's good fortune of marrying into a noble and wealthy family. Look, there are so many wonderful treasures, and she is willing to give them away as if they were free.

After receiving the gifts, they sat and talked for a while. After a long time, Xia sent Luo Qin back to Youlan Garden with a friendly face.

As soon as he returned to Youlan Garden, Luo Qin tiredly took off his clogs and fell on the soft bed.

Seeing that the girl was tired after chatting with the ladies for so long, Ping turned around and went downstairs to boil some honey water for her to quench her thirst.

After a while, Ping Yu came in with honey water, "Girl, get up and drink some water."

Luo Qin immediately sat up, took the cup from Ping Yu's hand, and drank it slowly.

After she finished drinking, Ping Yu took the cup and put it back and said, "Girl, those jewelry are precious, why did you take out so many..."

As people close to Luo Qin, Ping Yu and the others knew that the two famous shops, Meirenfang and Kelaixiang, belonged to the girl. But even so, the girl couldn't be so lavish as to give all her things away.

Luo Qin smiled gently and said, "Ping Yu, you will know it later."

Isn't the affection among aristocratic families entirely maintained by material things?

What's more, Luo Qin was not Xia's biological daughter, but she married better than Xia's biological daughter. Xia must be somewhat uncomfortable. Naturally, she had to put on enough gestures to dispel Xia's dissatisfaction and maintain a good superficial relationship.

A daughter who marries out needs the support of her maternal clan, and if she has a good relationship with the Luo clan members, she will have enough confidence in front of outsiders.

Seeing Luo Qin's indifferent and calculated look, Ping Yu said no more. After all, the child she had raised had grown up to be a model of a noble lady, and the girl understood many things, so she didn't need to worry about it.

The next day.

Someone from the Xie family is here.

Today happened to be a day off, and Master Luo was also at home. The matchmaker came with the wild geese that Xie Yun had caught yesterday.

When Master Luo heard that someone was coming, he immediately went forward happily to welcome the matchmaker into the house. The two families symbolically discussed the matter according to the procedures, and then asked for the name.

The matchmaker asked for Luo Qin's date of birth and went back to place the marriage certificate before the gods or on the table in the ancestral temple to ask for good or bad luck. Only after learning that there were no signs of conflict between the two parties was the marriage preliminarily agreed upon.

Luo Qin's horoscope was compiled by Luo Ji. The date was the day she was found, but the exact time was unknown, so he compiled it.

I hope nothing bad happens.

After the betrothal ceremony, Luo Qin sat in her own Youlan Garden to prepare her wedding dress.

Speaking of wedding dresses, we have to talk about the special feature of wedding dresses of this era. Wedding dresses are white!

The Jin Dynasty particularly admired the color white. The emperor's crown and hat were wrapped in a layer of white gauze, and the prince's daily clothes were also white. Celebrities also loved to wear flowing white clothes, such as Wang Zuo and Cui Jie.

It has always been generally believed that the traditional wedding dress in China is red. In fact, it varies from period to period. For example, the color of the wedding dress in the Zhou Dynasty was dark.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Qin followed the Zhou system, so there were also black wedding dresses in the Han Dynasty. Of course, during this period there was not only black, but also red, yellow, etc.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, red and green were the two colors.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people pursued self-transcendence, and white was considered a color that returned to nature. The book "Old Things in the Eastern Palace" says: "When the crown prince married a concubine, he had a white hub, white gauze, a white silk shirt, and a purple tassel."

White is a characteristic of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and a veil is also worn on the head, which is thousands of years more advanced than the white wedding dresses in the West.

The white kimono that Japanese brides wear at weddings should have been learned during this period (personal guess). If you look closely, you can see that the Japanese kimono actually has some traces of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Of course, during this period, there were not only white wedding dresses, but also cyan, purple, crimson and other colors. You could mix and match a variety of colors, depending on the person's choice. In fact, most people usually wear their best wedding dresses, so how could they have the opportunity to be so particular?
