I thought my mother should be in a good mood recently, but when I arrived at Tao Guangyuan, I saw her sitting on the bed under the forest with a slightly gloomy face, her arm on the chair, a cup of tea in her hand, and her index finger, middle finger, and thumb holding the teacup and shaking it gently, making many ripples in a cup of tea, but she never drank it.

Wei Tuan'er stood beside her, bowing her back and smiling, and when she saw me, she was far away: "Princess Changle." ”

I was a little uneasy, and saluted my mother, and sweetly called "A-Niang", who smiled at me, beckoned me to me, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt in my legs?"

This is another uncommon scene these days, one is that my mother is getting older, and my mother is no longer asking me about everything as she was when I was a child, and second, she does not want to pursue Li Dan's fault, so she should not ask about my injuries in front of many people. The more I felt uneasy, the more I followed my mother's words and stepped forward to be coquettish: "Why doesn't it hurt? ”

My mother pulled out a smile, hugged me in her arms, and gently coaxed: "Then stay in the palace for a few more days, and go back when the pain is gone." ”

I looked at her suspiciously, she patted my hand and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law has prepared clothes for you, go and change them and come back." But I didn't seem to want to say more to me, so I had to retreat to the side of the small hall for rest and dressing, and when I saw Ah Huan leading someone to arrange it inside, I pulled her aside: "What's wrong with Ah Niang? ”

Ah Huan frowned and said, "Just now, Wei Tuan'er asked to see him, saying that he had something to report alone, which is probably not a good thing." He asked someone to bring me his clothes, and while undressing me, he said, "What did the Ah family say? ”

I slowly told Fang Cai about the situation, saying that I also had some guesses: Wei Tuan'er is favored by informants, what she said to her mother is definitely not a good thing, thinking of my mother's expression, this matter is mostly related to me, I don't know if someone wants to deal with me, or if there is something wrong with my people here - if it is a person in the house, my mother will not have such a look, either call me over and scold a few words, blame me for being unable to discipline, or directly dispose of people, and will not stop talking like this, as if I am afraid that I will be sad, I can alarm my mother to this, and the characters related to me, thinking about it, there are only one or two, shocked and frightened, and unconsciously opened his mouth at the same time as Ah Huan: "Don Ma / Zheng Bo?"

Ah Huan's face was pale, and he shook a man's robe in the air, and put it on for me, and the palace people wanted to comb my hair, but she waved it away, and she led me to the dressing table to sit down, and she didn't want anyone else, and personally combed the boy's hair bun for me.

I couldn't sit still, I raised my head and called her "Ah Huan", she said with a calm face: "Look at the appearance of Ah Jia, this matter is not suspected of you, don't panic." ”

I didn't expect this layer yet, so I was slightly stunned and said, "Implicate me?"

Ah Huan shrugged at me, pressed me to sit on the lavender cage, and deftly opened my bun with both hands, so that the hair was loosely draped behind me: "When you go out for a while, you just don't know anything, don't disturb the interest of the A family, if the A family wants to tell you, they will naturally say, if you don't want to, you can't know." ”

I was anxious in my heart, and said in a loud voice: "Zheng Bo has been messing around in the cold yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and he was only promoted to Guanglu Shaoqing this month, so he won't make any big mistakes immediately? If he is involved, what about the people in my house?"

Ah Huan said: "If it is official business, it is not Wei Tuan'er's turn to tell the informant, most likely because he spoke carelessly somewhere, and was heard, so Wei Tuan'er inquired." Zhou Xing is very favored by the A family, and Wei Tuan'er is afraid that he will fall out of favor, so he wants to sue a big man to invite credit - she shouldn't move on your head. ”

I understand what she said, but when I understand the truth, the more anxious I feel in my heart, if I know what Wei Tuan'er said and who is involved, then it's fine, but now everything is just speculation, and my mother keeps her mouth shut, this feeling of knowing what is happening, but not knowing what is really depressing.

Seeing my face, Ah Huan pressed my shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, the first important thing at the moment is the Longmen Giant Buddha, come, smile." Reaching out and pinching my face, he pinched my face and moved, then shook his head: "It's ugly." He let go, pulled a boy's bun for me, and pinched my face a few times: "Okay, can you laugh now?"

I squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and she came back to pinch the corner of my mouth: "Go up a little more." Fiddling with my face and mouth to make a smile, Fang nodded: "Okay, I'll laugh like this for a while." If you really can't laugh, think of a joke...", she tilted her head, trying to come up with a joke: "There is an animal the size of a dog, but it looks like a cow, guess what?"

I tilted my head and thought for a long time, shook my head and said, "I don't know." ”

She put a nod in my face: "It's a calf." ”

We were stunned, but we were not convinced: "Isn't a calf a cow anymore? ”

She stuck her tongue out at me: "I didn't say it's not a cow, I just said, 'There's an animal,' isn't a cow the same animal?"

I said indignantly: "You are a cold joke..."Seeing that she was puzzled, she casually made up nonsense: "Because this joke is not funny at all, as soon as it is said, everyone is silent, as if entering an ice cellar, so it is called a 'cold joke'." ”

She was amused by me: "Your joke is good, it's a 'bad joke'." ”

I glanced at her, and at this moment, everything was ready, and my mother slowly walked in—it turned out that the photo was not in the garden, but in the corridor facing the courtyard on the side of the small hall—and when I heard Ah Huan laughing, I raised my eyebrows and smiled: "What are you talking about?" ”

Ah Huan and I hurriedly got up and saluted her, and Ah Huan pushed me to my mother again: "Ah Jia, look at it, it doesn't look like a boy in front of the Buddha." ”

My mother looked at me, and wanted to stroke my head, but her hand stretched out, but she only touched my face, and chuckled: "They are all taller than A-Niang, if they are shorter, they are like children." ”

I squatted down, drilled into my mother's arms, and said, "What about this?" My mother smiled, hugged me in her arms, and said with a smile: "Whose son is this, born so handsome, and broke into the palace." ”

There was a smile left and right, and I praised me according to my mother's meaning, I couldn't listen to their praise, and pulled my mother's sleeve and said: "A-Niang, A-Niang, there is an animal, the size is similar to that of a dog, but it looks like a cow, A-Niang guess what?"

The mother laughed and said, "Isn't it a calf?

Ah Huan smiled: "Of course, Ah Jia can guess it, but some people can't guess it a few times." He threw a silver bottle in my hand: "If you can't guess it, you will be punished for holding the bottle." Shangguan Chengzhi jacquard basket. After speaking, all the people had been settled, and they were about to serve their mother to change their clothes, and her mother shook her head and said, "Just let Wan'er come." "Got behind the screen, changed clothes and came out, only changed into a shirt with a slightly loose collar, but never dressed up like the Buddha, but Wan'er and I, and a few specially selected young waiters and small palace people, all wore all kinds of clothes, Wan'er carried a basket of lotus, I held the silver bottle, and went to the corridor in a mighty way.

Several of the painters were already waiting outside, and when they saw us coming, they saluted one by one, invited our mother to sit in the center, and told us to take our respective poses.

Ah Huan didn't have the opportunity to have this fortunate event, but he always watched the scenery, took objects, and transferred people on the side. Wei Tuan'er was not selected for the list, so he accompanied Ah Huan outside pretending to be courteous. As soon as I saw Wei Tuan'er's face, I felt disgusted, so I could only look away and fall on Ah Huan's face, seeing that she shook her head gently, I had to turn my head back and squeeze out a smile.

My mother caught a glimpse of Ah Huan's movements and turned her head to look at me: "What's wrong?"

I said, "The silver bottle is too heavy to hold." "This is also the truth, this object is made by Shaofu at a glance, very royal style, there are more than a dozen catties to start with, it is okay to hold it for a while, and it is okay to hold it for a long time, and there is no place that is not sore.

The mother only reached out and checked the silver bottle and smiled: "Is this Awei's, who can hold such a heavy bottle?" ”

When I saw Ah Huan, I was busy arguing, but I was stopped by Ah Huan's look, she lowered her head slightly and said to her mother: "It's the concubine who didn't think about it." "Come in personally, take the bottle, bow and exit, and then hand it to the palace people. I quietly posed, clarified my thoughts, did not dare to have any more expressions, and it was easy to wait for the painters to finish painting, and my mother also called me over to say a few words of gossip, daily life, and everything, and said that the scenery near Shangyang Palace was the best in spring, and that I should build a courtyard nearby for me, and said that my clothes were too simple, not in line with the gorgeous spring, and that I should do some flowers to meet the scene. 166 Reading Network
