It is said that where there are women, there is a bag, and the "bag" cures all diseases.

In his previous life, Ruoyin loved to collect all kinds of bags.

In this Qing Dynasty, women wore sachets.

It's just that they will choose the material of the sachet according to their financial ability.

Of course, the aristocratic ladies have that kind of exquisite leather bags, which will be inlaid with some eastern pearls, jade, silver ornaments or something.

When Ruoyin was in the Forbidden City, he also asked people from the Internal Affairs Office to do a few, but none of them were very ideal.

In the end, I still think that the sachet is the most practical.

But this one that the fourth master asked her to do was the best-looking bag she had ever seen.

Even she, who has always disliked gold jewelry, likes it very much.

It can be said that it is the most beautiful local tyrant gold chain bag in the Qing Dynasty.

However, Ruoyin will still be angry.

She swept the chain bag with cold eyes, and said duplicitously: "The emperor doesn't know, I hate the things made of red gold the most, it looks like a nouveau riche, and the bag made of red gold is very heavy, not practical at all, and the design is average, just as ugly as you want." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the fourth master's originally easy-going face suddenly became cold.

Frightened, the minions holding the chain bag quickly knelt down.

Seeing this, Su Peisheng didn't know what to do.

The emperor still has a few gifts, but those minions haven't presented them.

The queen is really.

The emperor would never give a woman a gift like this.

If this is replaced by someone else, as long as you can spend Tanabata with the emperor, your heart will bloom.

Not to mention that the emperor also took the trouble to prepare a series of gifts.

Even if the emperor's gift is not to your liking, or it is a grass, then you have to accept it happily and thank Longen, because it is the imperial grass.

But what the emperor gave to the queen is what women love the most.

He saw it all, and when the queen saw the chain bag, her eyes lit up, why did she dislike the ugly chain bag.

Just when Su Peisheng was pondering the thoughts of his masters, he received a cold eye from the fourth master.

He hadn't reacted at first.

It wasn't until the fourth master glanced at the unopened gift boxes in the hands of the guards that he understood.

It turned out that the emperor asked them to continue to present other gifts to the queen.

So, Su Peisheng glanced at the guards.

The guards continued to present the gift to Ruoyin.

Ruoyin glanced lightly, and there was a box of incense powder in a box.

She sniffed it gently, and the aroma was light, a faint scent she liked.

However, she only sniffed it once, and then put it in the box again, and her face showed no joy at all.

The other is a pocket watch.

Ruoyin took the pocket watch in her hand and looked at it carefully.

This is a silver pocket watch.

The outside is a hollow craft, carved, on both sides of two bouquets of orchids, and a lifelike phoenix in the middle.

The surrounding circle is inlaid with small snow-white pearls.

In the center, there is a sparkling ruby.

Ruoyin opened the pocket watch and saw that inside was the dial.

There are no numbers that represent time, but intricate machinery.

It looks retro and atmospheric.

In this dynasty, the more accurate way to judge the time was the hourglass and the sundial.

But hourglasses and sundials are not tools that anyone can use.

The rest of the fixed time includes incense seals, sand clocks, oil lamp clocks, and candles.

However, in most cities, the time is measured by the local bell tower and drum tower.

Every hour, the bell tower and drum tower will ring bells and beat drums.

During the day, the bell is ringed, and at night, it is the watch.

But this way is not very accurate.

This is also why in ancient times, there were only one to five watches, and there was no more detailed time.

It's because the accuracy of the time is not high, so I can only say an approximate time.

In some rural areas where conditions do not allow it, time can only be judged by life experience.

They are based on the position of the sun and moon in different seasons.

What time is it, where will the sun and moon be?

In this case, in case the weather is bad and the sun and moon are in the clouds, it is difficult to judge and even more inaccurate.

However, as early as the opening of the Thirteen Lines Trade in the Qing Dynasty, many Western clocks and pocket watches were transmitted to the Qing Dynasty.

Ordinary people eat is a problem, and naturally they can't afford to buy a watch.

Only some aristocrats, in order to determine the time more conveniently, bought Western clocks.

As for pocket watches, they are more expensive than clocks, and most men with power, status and taste will buy and wear them.

Because women mostly like jewelry and are not very interested in this kind of thing.

Ruoyin had also seen some pocket watches in Daqing before, all of which were men's models, and she didn't like them.

But the pocket watch that the fourth master gave her is particularly feminine and beautiful.

At this moment, Ruoyin thought in her heart, when did the fourth master understand women so well, and still understand her so well?

One by one, the gifts are all what she likes.

But the anger in her heart cannot be erased by these gifts.

Even if Ruoyin likes these gifts again, she is still sensible.

She put down her pocket watch indifferently, pointed to the box of incense powder and this watch with one hand, fanned the air on the tip of her nose with the other, and said lightly: "The smell of this incense powder is too strong, so tired." This pocket watch, it's okay, make do. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the fourth master: "Nothing else?" ”

Fourth Master: "......"

"Madam, these gifts were selected by the emperor several days in advance, especially the chain bag, which was specially made by craftsmen for more than half a month." Su Peisheng hurriedly explained.

The queen mother really doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks.

You must know that the emperor, as a cold emperor, is not easy to do this.

But looking at her like this, she doesn't seem to appreciate it very much.

He was worried that the emperor would be in a bad mood, so he threw away all the carefully prepared gifts.

Sure enough, as Su Peisheng expected, he saw that the fourth master's face was not very good-looking, and he said coldly: "Someone is here, except for the pocket watch, everything else will be thrown out by me!" ”

Su Peisheng twitched the corners of his mouth, thanks to the queen's reluctance to say that the pocket watch was okay.

Otherwise, these gifts today will not be able to escape the fate of being thrown away.

However, at this time, Ruoyin added fuel to the fire and said: "As a female representative of the Qing Dynasty and the laws and regulations, I don't dare to spend your money, if I want something, I have money to buy it." So, you might as well throw this pocket watch along. ”

Actually, this was not her intention.

But when she heard the fourth master say that he was going to throw away the gift he just gave her, she came to say this.

Since he didn't care about the gift-giver, what did she care.

It's like this every time, only knowing how to solve the problem with violence.

Is this like coaxing her?

"This ......" Su Peisheng looked at the fourth master, and his forehead was sweating.

The emperor is obviously here to celebrate the begging festival with the queen's mother.

In addition, he was busy dealing with things before, and he snubbed the queen's mother, and he also had the intention of coaxing on this day.

But the emperor has such a violent temper, coaxing and coaxing, how can he set himself on fire.

However, whoever is poured cold water on their blood will be unhappy.

Especially this person is still a high emperor.
