Chapter 43: Captured
Mother Xu followed Fu Bo to lead through the hall through the garden to the West Chamber, quietly along the road, only the lanterns and candles hanging under the eaves of the corridor flickered, illuminating the way, there was no maid, even the rough envoy did not see a few women. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She immediately sank her face, and her heart was not at ease, thinking that she had traveled thousands of miles from Hedong to Nanxun County, to say that this worship post was down early in the morning, and the time was delayed by obstacles on the road, but it was not such a humble person, and there were so few people in the Pei family's courtyard that there was not even a girl who swept the floor and served tea?
She asked.
"Hehe, today's young master made a lantern riddle party, so that the maids and daughters who did not go home to reunite with their relatives in the other courtyard gathered together for the festival, and also responded to the scene of today's full moon. Fauber replied with a smile, "I also made a lot of fun, won two tangerines and a pot of osmanthus wine." ”
Speaking of Fu Bo, he was complacent, the happiness of the moment he solved the riddle, and the sense of accomplishment he received after receiving the prize continued to the present, he was really happy tonight, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to reveal it to her when the deceased first arrived, he was eager to share his joy with Xu's mother.
"Nonsense!" Mother Xu stopped, raised her eyebrows, and crossed her waist in front of Fu Bo, "The other courtyard has the rules of the other courtyard, the young master is stubborn by nature, since you are a housekeeper by his side, you should restrain the young master well, otherwise the wife will not be at peace under Jiuquan!
Fu Bo's good mood was gone, and he hated himself for being fast-mouthed, so he said what lantern riddles would be in front of the.
, who were invited by the eldest girl's maiden family to be the nurse of the eldest young master, are outsiders in the end, not knowing the roots, a crooked heart, when the eldest young master was young, he didn't feel it, and when he grew up, after the rumors came out, the attitude gradually changed, and everyone was submissive to the girl, and it was another set when he turned around, which made people really not like it.
"You must be tired when you first arrive, please come with me. Ignoring her words, Fauber asked her to go to the West Chamber.
Sanqiu Guizi and the West Chamber are two directions, far apart, no matter how much she makes trouble, she will not disturb the lantern riddle meeting.
Mother Xu is used to being pampered, she used to be the same person as Fu Bo, and her status was lower than him and she could only listen to him, but in Wei Mansion for so many years, she was recuperating in Zhuangzi, as if she was a master, and she had long forgotten her humility, not to mention that she was still Pei Shuo's nurse, and anyone who saw her had to respect her for three points
"Okay, you Pei Fu, you actually take my words as the wind in your ears, I am the nurse of the eldest young master, the eldest young master has to respect me for three points, what are you!"
At that time, the lantern riddle will come to an end, Shake Cui took a fruit lamp for A-Yao, the delicate and small fruit lamp still exudes a refreshing fruity fragrance, she threw the origami lantern she made into the clouds, holding the fruit lamp in one hand, waving the fireworks stick in the other hand, talking and laughing with the maids and walking towards the lotus courtyard.
"Sister Shengxiang, today is the most abundant gift for you. Asbestos said envy.
The fragrant oranges are packed in a bag of colorful silk threads, heavy, and the moon cakes taken by other maids are counted, she won a box back, and made up seven stars with the moon, A-Yao started to pack, although the box looked weird, it was unexpectedly good-looking.
The reward of the lantern riddle will be based on the strength to speak, guess the lantern riddle but others have nothing to say, but the lantern riddle will not let the guessed maid go back empty-handed, each person carries a lantern, and they are all happy.
Sheng Xiang said: "Asbestos, you are not bad, you carry so many lanterns." ”
"My sisters are so good at guessing riddles, I really can't, I haven't guessed them for a long time. Ah Yao also said.
"The girl is still young, but you guessed that one flower note and two quicksand notes are very powerful, how many words have you recognized, girl?" said with a smile, accompanying Ah Yao and Pei Shuo all the way, the notes on the lanterns were all picked up and read by her, a 7-year-old girl.
"I haven't recognized it yet. Ah Yao said modestly, "There are a lot of words that I can read and write." ”
A few maids surrounded A-Yao, stepping on small stones through the garden, and there was a quarrel in the corridor.
"Shhh
The other maids also looked like they concentrated all the lanterns, and each found a hidden place to cover it on the rocks with their skirts. Ah Yao put down the fruit lamp, but it didn't seem very suitable to put the fireworks stick on the ground, so she had to continue to carry it in her hand.
The voices of a man and a woman.
It also excited the burning gossip hearts of the maids.
"Who do you think it will be? It's so late. ”
"That man's figure is very similar to Fu Bo's, and I can't find a few people in the whole house who are similar to Fu Bo's figure. ”
"It's Fauber!"
"Who's the woman next to Fauber?"
A-Yao also lay on the rocks and listened to the big sister above.
The people under the corridor were still arguing, and the woman in the stone blue cloak pestered Fu Bo and chattered, and said that the lantern riddle should not be held. The woman's mind was on Fauber, and she didn't notice that there were several maids peeping at her nearby.
If it was in the past, it would have been discovered a long time ago when Ah Yao was holding a fireworks stick in her hand, but today, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the other courtyard is lit up again, and all kinds of palace lanterns are hung on the eaves of the corridor, and the lights are reflected on the pink wall, which is even more eye-catching.
Naturally, the little spark on the side of the mountain was ignored.
A few maids frowned when they heard this, and Yinzhu said: "Who is this woman, it's so annoying to point fingers." ”
"That's it, the young master is in charge of the lantern riddle meeting for us, when is it her turn to speak, even the guests shouldn't talk like this, it's too rude. ”
The teenage maid didn't have so many worries, and she had something to say, without hiding her disgust for Mother Xu over there.
Shao Cui said softly: "Okay, we have to go back, each courtyard has to be keyed, and it will be too late if we don't go back." ”
That's right!
After being reminded by Shaocui, and then looking up to see the moon in the middle of the sky, a few maids tiptoed back.
Listening to them all the time, Ah Yao didn't notice that the fireworks stick in her hand had burned to the end, her fingertips suddenly felt hot, she threw the fireworks stick out with a "ah", and hurriedly blew her hand.
"Are you okay?" Shake Cui and Shengxiang surrounded one after another, grabbed Ah Yao's hand and looked at it, and the silver vermilion asbestos trotted to get the lantern and returned to Ah Yao, and raised it to illuminate Shake Cui Shengxiang.
In the candlelight and moonlight, Ah Yao's fingertips were so red that they were almost dripping blood.
Shao Cui said: "My fingers are red, I think of the blisters, I have to deal with them quickly." ”
The movement here interrupted Xu's mother's chattering accusations under the corridor, and Fu Bo also looked at the rocks, and Xu's mother preemptively said:
"Who!
