Chapter 64: The Vegetarian 3?????Hong Ling and Song Tang both looked at me strangely, I slightly shook my head, stretched out my hand and said: "Let me take a look."
Hong Ling handed me the box with fine carvings, I weighed it, but it wasn't heavy, and I was puzzled. When I opened it slightly, I saw that it was full of colorful feathers inside.
I was taken aback, thinking that I had promised Wei Zifu to make a feather pen for him, but had forgotten due to recent nursing of Song Tang's illness. My heart skipped a beat as I realized that I had actually forgotten about the promise I made to Yi Qian Xun because of serving Song Tang. It seems that I am indeed that kind of person, with a tendency to be taken advantage of, and would even forget such an important matter for the sake of serving others.
She was slightly annoyed with herself, but touching the feathers in the box made her very happy. The five-colored feathers were complete, with red, orange, yellow, green and purple neatly arranged in five rows, looking particularly beautiful when gathered together like this.
"Second Young Mistress, what new toy has this little prince given you again?" Hong Ling restrained her curiosity and squatted beside me, wanting to touch it but fearing she would mess up its beauty.
"These are feathers, colorful feathers." I felt much better and patiently said: "Young Master Wang wanted me to make a feather pen for him, but instead he gave me so many beautiful feathers."
"These five-colored feathers are really hard to find, and the young master is indeed treating me like his second sister-in-law." Hong Ling said with envy, this was her first time putting down her dignity to speak so intimately with me, she had always held herself as a confidant of the madam's side, and looked down on my background, usually polite but not so familiar.
I haven't really recovered from her yet, and now seeing her with such a rare expression, I couldn't help but laugh and say: "Do you like it? I'll give you a few pieces."
These five-colored feathers are hard to come by, and many young ladies dream of having a few strands of colorful feathers inserted into their hair buns. Even in Chang'an City, where there are many noble ladies, it is said that they do not have any.
Hong Ling thought she had misheard and only asked: "Second Young Mistress, how...how...dare this slave accept it? Young Master's gift is so precious, this slave would never dare to receive it."
I gently pulled her hand and said, "This isn't the young master's pen, but there's a whole box of them. You took a few, what's the harm?" I glanced at Song Tang leaning in close to whisper in her ear, "A young woman should dress up nicely, that way the man she loves will notice. You can't compare to me, a married woman, you must dress well."
