Chapter 257

Du Kexin looked at Du Xiaoli's choice of clothes inside and showed a terrible light in her eyes. Chen Yue pulled her a few times before she came back and followed fan min.

Du Xiaoli chose two sets of clothes for sister-in-law Zhou, and then asked the people in the store to measure their figure and choose some cloth to make cotton clothes and trousers.

Seeing that Du Xiaoli bought so many things for them, sister-in-law Zhou refused: "how can you come and spend money for us!"

"It doesn't matter. You've just come to the capital and are not familiar with the weather here. These are needed." Du Xiaoli said with a smile. "In fact, I'm also the first time to spend the winter here, but I've heard a lot from them before and prepared these early. It's also right to take care of you when you go out."

"Little martial uncle, it's very kind of you." Zhou Cailian doesn't live as she did just now. She can have a few words with Du Xiaoli.

"Little martial uncle is very kind." Zhou Jiandong learned from Zhou Cailian.

"See if there's anything else you need. We'll buy it together," said Du Xiaoli. "In a moment, you can directly change into a set of thick clothes, and the thin clothes will be put here. The people in the store will send them to brother master's house together with other clothes you buy."

"OK."

After coming out of the clothing store, the Zhou family had changed their clothes, and the sandwich cotton clothes made them no longer shiver.

Then several people went to Fengxue building for lunch. After lunch, they sent them back to Niujing house, and she returned to the prime minister's house.

It snowed all day, because the snow was not big. Except for some snow accumulated on the bamboo leaves, the snow on the ground turned into water.

In the evening, Du Yunhan looked for her and Du Xiuheng and told them that they had discussed with the old cabinet. The marriage date of Du Xiuheng and Fu Yalan was set for March 12 and 10 days later. So from now on, they will begin to prepare the bride price.

This is the only good news Du Xiaoli has heard during this period. Although the prime minister's house does not say how rich it is, it still has some details, so Du Xiaoli was not asked to help prepare the bride price.

Han Mingxiang moved to the palace a few days after she settled with her relatives. Du Xiaoli saw her again at Meng Jiangzhuo's hairpin ceremony. At this time, she looked a lot thinner. Her eyes were not as divine as before. It looked distressing.

And before the hairpin ceremony, the five of them got together again. Thinking that this might be the last gathering, everyone was not in a good mood.

"After today, Jiang Zhuo, you'll reach the hairpin. This is my gift. I hope you like it." Du Xiaoli put his gift in Meng Jiangzhuo's hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you Xiaoli." Meng Jiangzhuo opened the gift and saw the glass crystal inside. He liked it very much. "It's so beautiful. When I get married, I must take it with me."

"Ha, Xiaoli's gift should be taken away, and ours can't fall." Fu Yalan sent his gift to Meng Jiangzhuo. The long box should be a painting.

Meng Jiangzhuo opened the box and there was a scroll in it. On it, everyone was playing the piano and flute and dancing in a persimmon forest. Ji Liuxia was dancing with a sword. It was the time they danced in the persimmon forest. But there are some differences. At that time, the persimmons on the persimmon tree were still green, and the persimmons in this painting were ripe, and there were some withered and yellow leaves on the ground.

"Xiaoli said that we would go to pick persimmons in Chuang Tzu when we have time, but now everyone is busy. It's estimated that we don't have time, so I drew this painting. I was thinking that you and hairpin don't have any good gifts for you, so I took this as a gift." Fu Yalan said.

"Thank you, sister Yalan. I'll keep this painting well. When I go to Jiangnan and miss you, I'll take it out and have a look." Meng Jiangzhuo said.

Ji Liuxia and Han Mingxiang sent gifts to Du Xiaoli before they came. They chatted in the room until the old lady came and said that the hairpin ceremony was about to begin. They went to the front living room.

The process of hairpin ceremony is the same as that of Fu Yalan and hairpin ceremony. Du Xiaoli watched Meng Jiangzhuo change clothes and came back. Mrs. Meng combed her hair. She felt a burst of emotion. After today, she was only more than ten days away from her marriage. Meng Jiangzhuo grew up when he married a woman.

After the hairpin ceremony, there was lunch. In the space before dinner, Mrs. Meng took Du Xiaoli's hand and said, "originally she wanted to recognize you as an adoptive daughter, but later, seeing that you were so busy, she thought of waiting. Unexpectedly, the emperor has recognized you as an adoptive sister first. Now we see that you have to salute."

Du Xiaoli smiled and said, "although you can't be aunt Meng's dry daughter, you are still my aunt Meng!"

"OK, OK." Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Jiangzhuo, who came back from changing clothes, with a thick sense of reluctance in her eyes, and said, "after she went to Jiangnan, you should often come to the house to see me."

"We will." Du Xiaoli must say.

After lunch, Du Xiaoli and they talked together for a while, and then they went back.

"Xiao Li."

Outside the gate of Meng mansion, Fu Yalan and Ji Liuxia have left. Han Mingxiang calls Du Xiaoli.

"Princess." Du Xiaoli turned and looked at Han Mingxiang.

"I have something to tell you," Han Mingxiang said. "Let's find a place." "OK." they came to a teahouse, called a private room and asked the servant girl to guard at the door. Looking at the familiar street, Du Xiaoli remembered that it was this private room he wrapped with Moyang after attending the banquet the next day. The furnishings in the house had not changed, and even the screen was still the same, but her heart was not as relaxed as when she first arrived in the capital. "Princess, drink tea." Du Xiaoli poured a cup of tea for Han Mingxiang, put it in front of her, and then poured himself another cup and held it in his hand. Han Mingxiang kept looking at the street outside the window. Du Xiaoli didn't speak, but just accompanied her quietly. For a long time, Han Mingxiang slowly opened her mouth and said, "you won't see these streets in more than ten days." "princess, if it's an unchangeable fact, you have to be relieved to accept that you hurt your own body. How long do you think you've lost so much weight?" Du Xiaoli comforted. "I know." Han Mingxiang smiled hard and said, "I called you today to ask you something." "princess, please say." "I need a royal sister to get married. I want you to accompany me on the last journey of Fengming country." Han Mingxiang said. "Me?" Du Xiaoli was surprised. Han Mingxiang nodded and said, "now you are also a princess and a member of the royal family. I should have no problem if I mention it to the emperor. You just need to send me to the border. But you may be close to the new year when you come back."
