Chapter 11: The Pearls (I)
Zhan Lu is really a cool person, but he cleaned up the study after a few days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I split some of my time for needlework, and I often post in the study. In the end, these foundations also need to be picked up slowly. Because the room was large and the moon hole window was a little empty, Zhan Lu was planning to inform the housekeeper to pick a suitable screen to put it on, and make a slight partition.
I thought about it, "It's easy for Zhan Lu to set up a screen, but I really don't want to alarm people, as soon as I enter the mansion, I have already made His Royal Highness and Liangdi unhappy, Xiaoguan just wants to live quietly now." Moreover, the study should be brightly lit, and the screen is not as bright as it is now. Put the bamboo tube brush in his hand on the pen stand, and put the good words aside, seeing Zhan Lu's disapproving face, he couldn't help laughing, "The little girl who was sent out of the house to buy pen and ink last time was not greedy for fun and brought some red beans stringed back to give it away, in my opinion, we might as well make people go and buy more, and the people in their own courtyard did it, strung into a beaded curtain and hung it up, which was beautiful and bright and passed the time." Horizontal and vertical are not a rare thing, and they don't cost much silver. ”
Zhan Lu's eyes lit up, "This is a new thing, I'll buy it right away." ”
After taking a nap in the afternoon, I still did embroidery work in the backyard gazebo, and the five or six days of work had almost finished the embroidery of a pillowcase, and I squinted far away from it with a smug look. Chifu, who was embroidering the sachet on the side, saw it and quipped, "In the end, the time lost is short, but half a year, Miss's work is really bright." It's also Miss Bingxue who is smart, and this color deserves to be so delicate and smart!"
I spit out the embroidery velvet in my mouth, and said with a smile, "Why don't you praise your young lady for my ten-fingered spring breeze!" said with his slender hands, looked at the shallot-like fingers in the sun, and laughed at himself, "In fact, I should be grateful to Prince Xiao Chitose, if it weren't for him, now this ten-fingered spring breeze is only afraid that the fireworks and greasy work in the kitchen of the princess's mansion are still greasy."
As she was talking, Chifu had already seen Zhan Lu walking towards this side with a few little girls, so she changed the subject and said, "Miss, do you want to find a kodan flower to paint your nails?"
I shook my head slightly, turned to Zhan Lu, and said with a smile, "I knew you could do it, but I didn't know it was so fast." But the red bean skewers you talked about in the morning have already been called you?"
Zhan Lu also smiled, asked the little girl to put down the big box she was holding in her hand, and said with a smile according to my words, "Not only the red bean skewers, but even the accessories for making the curtain are ready." I just don't know if Madame wants me and Chifu to work hard and hard, or is she going to order someone else to do it?"
I tilted my head and smiled, "How dare you work for you second generals", and asked casually, "A few days ago, Ruan Liangdi caused people to smash the courtyard in front of me, how are the people under Duofuxuan now?"
Zhan Lu replied, "There are two older maids who are not very peaceful, and the slaves and maids are afraid of raising thieves in the nest, so they have already found a name to send them away." Except for these two, everyone else is fine, and they do things with peace of mind. ”
I nodded, "It's better to send it away as soon as possible, so as to save trouble in the future." As for the others, as long as they do things quietly, do you expect everyone to be as faithful and brave as you are to protect me? Even the slaves also want to live a stable life, so even if we don't have the ability to make Duofuxuan become an impregnable wall and can't be splashed with water, the people outside are not easy to plot against Duofuxuan. ”
Zhan Lu said, "The slave thinks the same way. In addition, Lian Di'er and Kou'er, who Mrs. asked about last time, are still diligent and still the same as before. ”
I bowed my head and said, "Then bring them up." Let's start by making this red bean curtain. After thinking about it for a while, he covered his mouth and smiled, "The red bean curtain, it sounds like mung bean soup, lotus seed soup and the like, so it's called the bead curtain, and it's not an insult to this southern acacia bean!"
Zhan Lu took the order and left, and after a while, he brought Lian Di and Kou'er over. Among the two, Kou'er is younger, understature, round red face, does not shy away from looking at people, her eyes are clear, her lips are slightly pursed, and she is very pleasing; Lian Di is very beautiful, but shy and shy.
After the two of them saluted me and saw Chifu, they stood aside in a proper manner, and I smiled gently, "The rules are clear?"
Kou'er and Lian Di replied in unison, "Yes." Aunt Zhan Lu has already taught. ”
I nodded and said, "Serving by my side will naturally have decency, but you have to figure out the dangers behind this decency." ”
Lian Di said softly, "The slave understands. A few days ago, Ruan Liangdi asked Jinghong to come over to find the parrot, obviously to make trouble. Ruan Liangdi now lives in Qingyi Pavilion, which is the first courtyard on East Road, which is far away, and she should never come to Duofuxuan to find it. ”
Chloe looked up and said, "Chloe is not afraid. Chloe must follow Mrs. Guan. Chloe hates bullies the most. If it weren't for You Xiucai in his hometown and his sister's concubine who is the county lord, she would have run rampant in the township, and Ko'er's father would not have died in vain. When he said that, there were tears in his eyes.
I gently persuaded, "Chloe is the most well-behaved, don't cry." As he spoke, he handed her the handkerchief in his hand.
Kou Er shook her head and said, "Aunt Zhan Lu taught that you should respect Mrs. Guan, and you can't distinguish between respect and inferiority. The lady handed the handkerchief to Kou'er because she felt pity for Kou'er, but Kou'er couldn't break the rules because of this. ”
I shook my head and chuckled, "Then I'll give you this handkerchief, I have to remember to bring a handkerchief in the future, it's all a big girl, do you still have to wipe it with your sleeve? ”
Chifu came over and took the handkerchief, pulled Kou'er to wipe her tears, and stuffed the handkerchief into her sleeve, and said with a smile, "Miss, you have to listen to what you say, this is the rule." In the future, she will also be a big girl next to Miss, and she must behave and dress appropriately, and she can't embarrass Duofuxuan when she goes out. Okay, you and Lian Di go and string these red beans together to make a bead curtain. ”
Lian Di nodded in response, and pulled Kou'er to get busy. I continued to concentrate on the embroidery work I was doing.
After dinner the second day, Chloe came to salute and asked Chifu and me to look at the curtains. When I went to the study, I saw that the red beans were fragrant, but it added a bit of swaying style to the original horizontal and vertical study furnishings, and the red candles were rising, and the room was red. I nodded and smiled, "Good." You two go and rest, and don't stay up. He walked away, sat on the chair in front of the desk, looked around, and couldn't help but bring a hint of pride to the corners of his mouth. Looking at the clear water in front of him, he asked Chifu to change the Biyun Spring Tree flower note, thought for a while, and picked up the pen to write on the paper.
The days passed calmly and without waves, and it was only four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.
