Chapter 021: Admitting Mistakes
Back in the upper room, into the east room, Qi Yuanzhang was helped to the big kang by the window. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć He lay down on all fours, breathed a long sigh of relief, and exclaimed, "What is there to drink? ā
Taiwei listened to this in the corner, couldn't help but slander, foaming at the mouth and saying for a long time, can you not be thirsty?
But she sneered, but her grandmother was already anxious to get the tea quickly. The tea leaves are the best pine mountain snow buds, the whole body is green, only a little snow white on the tip of the bud, very eye-catching. But the real strangeness of Songshan snow buds is still strange in the fragrance.
Just take a handful of snow buds and throw them into the boiling water, float and roll them up, and you will immediately have a rich and fragrant aroma. Clear and sweet, thick and slightly bitter, complex and changeable.
This pine mountain snow bud was originally a tribute, and it was not usually available.
Only people like Qi Yuanzhang who have a sacred heart can eat it.
But he was a filial son, and he was rewarded by Emperor Jianyang, so he turned his head and gave filial piety to his mother, Mrs. Qi. It is that half a catty of pine mountain snow buds are now in the Minghe Hall, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Qi knew that a guest was coming, and ordered someone to prepare things before, I was afraid that I would be busy for a while.
Fortunately, I know it in my heart and do things accurately. Not long after she spoke, several maidservants rushed in with lacquered tea trays.
The maids respectfully made one and offered it to Huo Linchun, and then made one and handed it to Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi came to Qi Yuanzhang's side with a white porcelain tea cup from Ruyao, asked him to sit up, and ordered someone to put an autumn-colored backrest behind him.
She did it herself, while feeding her son tea, she kept asking softly: "Is it hot?" Do you want to cool it first?" and then said, "If you are thirsty, are you hungry?"
Listening to her tone, Qi Yuanzhang didn't seem to be a man in his thirties, but just a child of three or five years old.
And it is clear that there are many servants in Jingningbo's Mansion who serve tea and water, but she has to do it herself.
It seems that only in this way can she show her concern and love for her son.
But probably because in front of Eunuch Huo, Qi Yuanzhang's face was slightly red, revealing two points of embarrassment, and he lowered his voice and called: "Mother!"
Old Madam Qi was silent, staring at him and drinking a cup of tea before she sighed and shook her head: "Mother and son are connected, although it hurts you, it also hurts in your mother's heart." No matter how bad her mother is, Huo Dugong will not mind. ā
Huo Linchun lowered his head and tasted the tea, and chuckled lightly when he heard the words: "What the old lady said is true." Jing Ningbo doesn't have to care, you have a good mother like an old lady, I don't know how many people in the world should envy you. ā
His voice was gentle and familiar, as if he was talking and laughing with his closest relatives and friends: "It's just that there is one case, you are injured, and it is better to have less meat and fish." ā
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I was negligent, what Huo Dugong said is very true, this period of recuperation should be a light diet and less meat." ā
"If you don't get fishy meat, won't you want to become a herb?" Qi Yuanzhang heard this, and his expression suddenly interjected weakly, "What's the difference between this and death." ā
Old Madam Qi glared at him with a tiger face: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't die, how can you believe nonsense!"
Qi Yuanzhang looked frivolous, waved his hand and said, "It's just talking, can it still come true? You are good in everything, but you like to worry nonsense." ā
Mrs. Qi looked at her son, as if she was helpless, after a long sigh, she handed the teacup in her hand to the maid standing on the side, walked to the side, and chose a Taishi chair to sit down: "You just mess around!"
The voice seemed to be helpless.
Qi Yuanzhang looked at her sideways and smiled nonchalantly.
Just after a cup of tea, Huo Linchun stood up and smiled at Qi Yuanzhang's mother and son: "Now that Jing Ningbo has arrived home safely, our family will not delay the reunion of your few people." ā
This means to leave immediately.
Old Madam Qi hurriedly left people: "It's almost noon, Huo Dugong should stay for a light meal, right?"
"Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. Huo Linchun thanked and declined, "It's just that our family has an appointment at noon, which is really unfortunate." ā
Mrs. Qi regretted that she didn't stay any longer.
Qi Yuanzhang, who was lying comfortably on the big kang, said: "Come on, send Huo Dugong out quickly, don't let Huo Dugong delay the time to go to the appointment." ā
Huo Linchun thanked him with a smile and said goodbye and went out.
The room was quiet for a while.
Qi Yuanzhang muttered that his leg hurt, and said that he wanted to change his mood and let people serve him some fruits and pastries to eat.
When the snack was delivered, he ate five pieces in a row before stopping. Old Madam Qi looked at him and sighed, "Eat slowly, choke carefully." ā
The tone between the words is still like talking to a child.
Taiwei was uncomfortable when she heard this, and couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at the Boshan furnace on the long case not far away. She had already seen her grandmother's most real ugly face, and those coy gestures were only disgusting to look at now.
She lowered her head, and suddenly saw a foot step out beside her.
The fourth sister, Qi Mo, walked out of the crowd with red eyes and walked towards her father and grandmother. Her face was full of uneasiness, and her voice was full of worry: "Daddy, is your leg injury serious?
Emperor Jianyang naturally followed him when he went out.
Qi Yuanzhang was with him, and after he was injured, he must have been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor.
If it is not good, the imperial doctor should follow him back to Jingningbo Mansion. Now that the doctor has not come, of course this leg injury is not so serious. Qi Mo has been smart and clever since she was a child, how could she not even see through such a simple thing.
She came up to ask in order to show the difference between her and the others.
She wanted her father to know that she was the most concerned about him among the girls in the house. As she spoke, the uneasiness on her face spread all the way into her eyes. A pair of apricot eyes were filled with moisture, as if tears would fall from the eyes in the blink of an eye.
Qi Mo looked at her father, looking forward to it, waiting, and finally-
The father slowly opened his mouth: "Aunt Qiao, you have a heart, Daddy is not seriously injured, you don't have to worry." ā
He smiled at the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows remained the same, and his voice was calm.
Qi Mo felt that this sentence was like a thunderbolt exploding in her ears, shaking her whole body, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
The corners of her mouth were twitching, and she wanted to speak, but the base of her tongue was numb, and she could not say a word.
She couldn't see her face, but she knew she must be very stupid and embarrassed at this time.
If there's a hole in the ground, she's going to get into it now.
But her hands and feet were cold, her body was stiff, and even if there were really holes in the ground, I was afraid she wouldn't be able to get through.
Qi Mo's eyelashes twitched, and she almost really wanted to cry.
Old Madam Qi glanced at her son: "This is the fourth girl, not a pretty girl." ā
