Chapter 66: Secrets

The letter was sealed, Ye Wenxin took out the letter, rubbed it in his hand several times, his eyes were slightly red, Shi Gui was at a loss, standing by the door and couldn't guess what Ye Wenxin was going to do.

I just saw that she pinched and pinched the letter, took a deep breath, and took out a small silver knife from the table, holding the silver knife with her fingertips trembling slightly, she had never read the letter, but she knew that it was not trivial, otherwise Su Gu would not have said those words.

Shi Gui stood by the flying door, seeing that Ye Wenxin wanted to open the letter, but his hands trembled and he couldn't open it, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, teaching and learning calligraphy was just an excuse, just to let her stay alone, what made her spend so much thought?

Ye Wenxin failed to do it several times, shook his hand, held the handle of the knife tightly, pressed his index finger on the back of the knife, and used the blade to pick up the corner of the seal, the room was so quiet that the sound of the letter paper being opened could be heard, and the sound of "rustling" seemed to ring in his ears.

There was no sound inside, and the girl guarding outside naturally wanted to knock on the door, Ye Wenxin's painting battles were common, and there were more than a dozen kinds of pens alone, not to mention the color and water and felt spreading.

Qiong Ying knocked lightly on the door: "Girl, do you want to prepare water?"

Ye Wenxin's hand shook, he almost made a cut with a knife, held his breath, and looked at Shi Gui: "You go and pour a glass of water, ask for spring water, not well water, cooked, not raw." ”

Shi Gui didn't say a word, but he also knew that the matter was important, and it wasn't Ye Wenxin who casually said that he wanted to paint a water painting, so he had to turn around and get Ye Wenxin and said: "Don't ask you what you're doing, you don't say a word." ”

Shi Gui nodded and opened the door to go out: "The girl wants mountain spring water, it has to be cooked water." Liuchu hurriedly poured a pot for her, the water for boiling tea was boiling, and Shi Gui was about to carry the pot in, so Qiong Ying asked, "What are you doing in it, are you really painting with water?"

Ye Wenxin has always been particular, she is particular about eating tea, and she is even more particular about painting with a pen, Qiong Ying said again: "Why don't you have incense, the girl paints with incense." Seeing that he was about to enter the house, Shi Gui laughed crisply: "Why not, the girl just said that real water has no fragrance, and you can't light incense when painting water." ”

Where does Qiong Ying know what real water and fake water are, when she heard Shi Gui say something, it really seemed that Ye Wenxin could say something, so she stopped talking, and commanded again: "You are so waiting for the girl, the girl is not allowed to disturb her when she paints, your eyes are smarter, and if you see what you want, just come and get it." ”

When Shi Gui entered the house again, Ye Wenxin had already finished reading the letter, she was holding the letter paper in her hand, how Shi Gui entered the room unconsciously, the whole person seemed to be out of the air, holding the paper with one hand, holding the placket tightly with the other, and the mouth was tightly pursed, and the person was shaky, as if he was about to faint in a blink of an eye.

Shi Gui hurriedly put down the pot to look at her, but Ye Wenxin didn't want her to touch it, her long nails were embedded in the flesh, and she still couldn't help but whimper, so she simply bit her arm, and then she began to cry.

"What's wrong with the girl?" she avoided people, and what she wanted to read was this letter, Shi Gui remembered Chunyan's instructions, and her eyes swept over the letterhead, the handwriting was dripping, and at her current level, she didn't understand it.

Ye Wenxin came back to her senses for a while, afraid that she would go outside to call someone, so she grabbed her tightly with one hand, and she couldn't speak when she gasped, but Shi Gui was smart enough not to speak, but calmed down for her: "The girl is sad for a while, and she has to take care of herself." "If this goes too far, it's all on her.

Shi Gui took a step back, Ye Wen didn't let go, she hurriedly reassured: "I'll go pour a glass of water for the girl, and the girl will smooth her throat." There was no hot tea, no fragrant honey, only a pot of herbal tea, which I quickly poured and handed it to her.

Ye Wenxin's hands trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the tea cup, the cup knocked on the saucer, and he didn't bring water to his mouth for a long time, Shi Gui knew that things were not good, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the letter.

Ye Wenxin drank all the herbal tea in one go, the cold tea was even more bitter, and it slid coldly down her throat, she calmed down, tossing people to make temperament is when she can make temperament, now she knows that it can't be done, and there is no need to use it anymore.

She took out a handkerchief dipped in some cold tea to wipe her eyes, and pointed to the marble moire tabletop: "You put the pot on it, take the tea fan, cool the water fan, I can use it." ”

The letter was opened, and if she wanted to hand it to Ye, naturally it couldn't be an opened letter, since she thought about it and opened it, there was a way to restore it. When the hot water was just boiling, when it was cooled with a fan, Shi Gui still thought that Ye Wenxin wanted to drink: "There is clean cold water, do you want to drink that." ”

Ye Wenxin frowned and glanced at her: "Who said that it is for drinking, it is not allowed to blow, only fan, and the slightest dirty thing is not allowed to fall in." ”

Shi Gui heard that her anger was not directed at herself, and said tentatively: "Otherwise, take two clean large bowls and pour them repeatedly, it will cool faster, so that a bowl of water will not be cold until evening." ”

Ye Wenxin felt justified and acquiesced to her, but did not let Shi Gui go out again, and took a green jade water bowl to her, Shi Gui repeatedly poured back and forth, Ye Wenxin took out the pen and ink by himself, spread the paper on the moire case, took an ink strip, developed the ink, and took the written test several times, each time it was deeper than the last.

Shi Gui watched from the side, Ye Wenxin wrote a poem on the paper, put the pen to dry after writing, the ink marks did not melt, and then the paper was clumped, followed by the flattening, with the largest brush dipped in cold water, vacated the long case, brushed it again, and then pasted the paper on it.

Shi Gui had a flash of inspiration in his mind, Ye Wenxin was going to restore the discarded paper, the craftsmanship of the glaze factory, she had never seen it in her life, that is, she had seen it in her previous life.

Ye Wenxin did this, Shi Gui didn't say a word, looked at the soaked paper, and slowly dried it, there were still creases on it, and the ink marks also melted away.

Ye Wenxin frowned, opened the box by himself, took out a number of books from it, turned to a copy of "Mobao Xiaolu", hurriedly turned the pages, his fingertips followed the pages of the book, muttered a few words in his mouth, and suddenly closed it again, frowning at the long case.

She had something to do, but she didn't cry anymore, knowing that it was useless to cry, her mother still had to rely on her, pulled out an old work, and pointed to the teacup: "You take a sip and spray it on the paper." ”

Although spraying was written on it, but she couldn't do it, Shi Gui didn't say a word, raised his glass and put a sip of water in his mouth, took three steps back, Ye Wenxin was about to drink her, she sprayed all the water.

The paper was dotted with stars, and it was not wet, Shi Gui wiped his mouth: "Girl, do you want to try the iron." ”

Ye Wenxin's eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were bright, and he looked at her and said, "Okay, you go and get it." "This is a test, Shi Gui understands, but what is on that letter?

Ye Wenxin obviously has never done any work, the heaviest thing in his hand is the scroll, Shi Gui took the iron, Qiong Ying and the others were still guarding the door, seeing that Shi Gui was going to make an iron, they all glared: "What's the matter, how to paint well, but to make an iron?"

Shi Gui knew that Ye Wenxin wanted to do something, although she didn't understand why this girl did this, but she remembered Chunyan's words, whatever she did, she had to report it: "The girl opened the box and flipped through the books, took out a number of silk dyed pictures, said that it was wrinkled, and asked me to iron it with an iron." ”

What Shi Gui said is seven points true, three points false, it is true to open the box and turn the book, it is also true that there are many silk dyed pictures from it, and it is even more true to take the iron, but this thing to be ironed is not what they think.

Ye Wenxin stood in the room, listened to what Shi Gui said, and heard such a sentence, it was a surprise, only when this little girl was obedient, but she still had this smart energy, she thought of what was written on the letter, and then thought about Mother Feng and Qiong Yingyu, there were no useful people around her, and it was a great luck to pick her.

Su Chen took a blue and white porcelain iron and handed it to Shi Gui, and frowned in embarrassment: "This can't be done without hot water, do you still have to set up a small stove in the room, and you can't boil water?"

Qiong Ying only begged Ye Wenxin to hurry up and glance at her: "You go boil water, I'll try to knock on the door." Before she could raise her hand, Ye Wenxin's voice came out of it: "Shi Gui, don't come in quickly, close the door again." ”

Shi Gui glanced at Liuyu: "I'm tired of my sister boiling water." Saying that, she took the blue and white iron, and closed the door again, Ye Wenxin was standing behind the flying cover door, Shi Gui followed her into the inner room, and stood in front of the marble moire table, she glanced at Shi Gui, and took a bookmark with ivory and gold carving figures: "This is for you, I am impatient to see them, and you are not allowed to tell them, what are we doing inside." ”

The tone is still a little girl's house, but what she is doing is not what a little girl should do, Shi Gui lowered his head and replied to her, I don't know why this is, but it is also very easy for Ye Wenxin to send her down.

The hot water was boiled, and the six out were mentioned to the door, or Shi Gui went to get it, with a relaxed look on his face, and when he carried the water, he also said: "The girl is writing and painting, no one is allowed to quarrel." ”

Qiong Ying nodded at her with satisfaction: "You are careful, do a good job, follow the girl, don't say what you shouldn't say." Seeing that she is a smart appearance, I made a note of her in my heart.

Shi Gui poured water into the porcelain iron, this thing burned hollow, poured half of the hot water, the bottom is hot, just used to iron clothes, the letter paper is already half-dry, spray water and then iron, flat and neat, do not look closely, no traces can be seen.

Ye Wenxin had no other way, even if there were flaws, she had to do it, she glanced at Shi Gui, and took out the letter paper, there were her nail marks on her head, but it could also be said that it was left by her mother, unfold it, iron it first, then spray water and then iron dry, Shi Gui stood in front of the long case, Ye Wenxin was behind the long case, the letter paper was facing Ye Wenxin, Shi Gui looked upside down, and clenched her teeth tightly, but Ye Wenxin suddenly frowned and looked at her: "You know how to read?"

If she asked this for the first time, Shi Gui might still be flustered, but at this time, she lowered her eyes quietly: "I can't read." Ye Wenxin also expected that the little girl was illiterate, but she couldn't help but be suspicious, this matter is not trivial, if she still has to sigh, but it is just right at this time.

Shi Gui dried the letter paper for Ye Wenxin, and ironed the creases with an iron, the letter paper was turned over and over a dozen times in her hand, folded it again, and put it in the envelope, Ye Wenxin also pasted the envelope again, took it out and shone it under the lamp, and there was no trace of it.

Ye Wenxin only cared about the letter, but Shi Gui finished it for her, distributed the books everywhere, and then unfolded the silk paintings, spread them on the felt, and put the iron aside, which was obviously the appearance of having just been ironed.

Shi Gui is actually doing these things very mechanically, and her brain told her to lay out all the words she said, so that Qiong Ying could not find anything wrong when she came in, but she was still thinking about the letter in her heart.

The piece of paper went back and forth in her hand more than a dozen times, saying that it was a letter, but it was a short note, looking at the tone, it should be written by Ye Wenxin's mother, Ye's sister-in-law, and Shi Gui knew most of the words on it, and some sentences did not understand, but the general meaning could be understood, and a cold sweat broke out in an instant.

"But he forbears, is Gu is revenge. "In just a hundred words, almost every word is blood, Ye Wenxin was about to say kiss but suddenly entered the palace because of her appearance and temperament, she will definitely win the eyes of nobles.
