Chapter 31: Gift-giving
Rong Qingqian and his entourage sat in the carriage of the palace and drove towards Prince Duan's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people on the roadside watched the battle and talked a lot. The carriage drove to the gate of Duanwang's Mansion, and down two cardamom girls, one yellow and one green, and then there was a small maid kneeling beside the car, the green-clothed maid lifted the curtain, and a green and white and smooth hand reached out, took the hand stretched out by the yellow-clothed maid, gently stepped on the back of the little maid, and stepped down.
"Thank you, great work!"
The little guy was flattered, he was cheap, he didn't know how many times he had to be stepped on all day long, or the first time someone thanked him, such a fairy-like person, no wonder he would get the queen mother's blue eyes.
"Miss is serious, this is the slave's business. "That being said, I was still very moved.
"I said, who is in the car? It turned out to be Miss Rong San. The onlookers began to whisper again.
"I heard my cousin's uncle's son say that this Miss Rong San has been very popular with the Queen Mother recently, and he is an errand boy in the palace......"
A young man said with pride on his face.
"Do you need to hear about it? Look at this carriage, it is obviously the royal thing of the palace, and the box carried in the back must be a reward from the palace......"
An old man with a gray beard said that he had never seen anything after living for such an age.
Everyone looked at the old man with admiration, obviously agreeing with his speculation.
"You said the box was heavy, and what good things were in it?" a lewd young man salivated with golden eyes.
"It's always a palace thing, and we ordinary people can't think of it. ”
Until Rong Qingqian and his party were invisible, everyone was still talking around there.
Back in Qingyuan, the servants who knelt on the ground with hula lala, the head was Mama Gui, and the two maids of Huanxi Huansha, followed by the agarwood chant and the princess who had just recovered from a serious injury.
"Get up!"
The expressions of the people kneeling on the ground were deferential, which was the same as the Yang Fengyin in the past.
Rong Qingqian handed over the things to Xiaokui and Mama Gui, arranged for them to count and settle, and picked a few things himself, and took the clothes to greet the princess and princess.
In ancient times, filial piety was regarded as greater than the sky, and an unfilial hat was enough to ruin all your future.
Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is at home, and the whole family of Prince Duan's Mansion gathers in the Royal Mansion Flower Hall, drinking tea and eating snacks and chatting, the scene is rare and warm.
"The daughter greets her father and mother. "Rong Qing bowed lightly.
"The three girls are back, sit down and have tea together!" the princess looked loving.
"Thank you, mother, my daughter prepared a little small gift, and gave New Year's greetings to my father, mother, and all brothers and sisters, wishing my father and mother a long and healthy life, and a happy New Year for my brothers and sisters. “
Then Rong Qingqian took the brocade box from the hand of the cloth, took out an autumn toad Tong Ye Yu wash, and walked to Prince Duan with both hands.
"Last time I went to my father's study, I saw that on my father's desk, the four treasures of the study were all excellent things, but the pen wash was really old, so my daughter had been paying attention to it during this time, and finally found this thing, I felt that it was very consistent with my father's identity, and I hoped that my father would smile. ”
In the community, the style of writing prevails, and the four treasures of good study abound, not only with complete functions, but also with a variety of shapes, but like pen washes, arm rests, pen holders, these unpopular utensils, sensory modeling are a little dull.
Prince Duan took the pen and washed it carefully, only to see that the body of the vessel was carved into the shape of an inner roll of paulownia leaves dragged by broken branches, and the veins on the leaves were wisps, and a toad perched on the leaves. The brush wash is not only vivid in shape, but also realistic in carving, and the traces of the edge of the leaf being eaten by small insects are vivid, which makes people love it.
"Qingxiao has a heart, and my father likes it very much. Prince Duan's heart was ironed, he knew that such an object was extremely rare, but what moved him even more was Rong Qingqian's thoughtfulness, she even noticed his old pen wash.
"If my father likes it, it's fine. ”
Rong Qingqian walked towards Yayi and nodded to her, this girl has only accompanied her to the study once, and she has paid attention to these small details, and she is really thanks to her today.
Rong Qingqian took out a ten-spiced raccoon flower soft pillow from the brocade box, and also offered it to the princess with both hands.
"Mother, I heard that you didn't sleep well, so Qingqian specially consulted the house doctor and found this ten-spiced raccoon soft pillow. The ten kinds of flowers and plants in the pillow have the function of calming the nerves, and the pillow will play a certain role in the mother's sleep after being identified by the doctor, and there is no harm in it. I hope my mother likes it. “
Rong Qingqian deliberately mentioned the palace doctor twice, just to reassure the princess, and also to make her never want to frame her, she didn't want a piece of good intentions to send something, and then it would become something that harmed people's lives, and in turn made herself fishy.
Rong Qingqian then went from big to small, one by one to give gifts, to Rong Yunche is a good Tao inkstone, to the sisters is nothing more than some exquisite and precious jewelry, as the saying goes, eat people's mouth is short, take people's soft hands, a delivery down, but also the guests and hosts.
"Third sister, I like this Tao Yan very much, and you will let this little girl help me send it to the study in a while, I can't wait to try it. ”
Although Rong Yunche said it to Rong Qingqian, he looked at Yi Yi and smiled lightly.
Rong Qingqian also wondered in her heart, when did she, the eldest brother, study so diligently.
The clothes on the side scolded this eldest young master dozens of times in his heart, isn't it just an inkstone, won't he take it?
After a small gathering, everyone went back to the courtyard for a lunch break.
But the people are busy. They pasted red notes on the utensils, called it "sealing the year" and "going red", and added charcoal to the fire cage and called it "making fire buckets", pasting couplets, pasting window flowers, hanging lanterns, and repairing everywhere was red and prosperous, a lively scene of the New Year.
Provoke Yi through the busy crowd, to Rong Yunche's Xiaofeng Residence, this is the first time she set foot here, I have to say that in ancient times, not only the descendants were distinct, but also particularly patriarchal, you look at this Xiaofeng Residence, pavilions, rockery landscape pavilions, winding corridors, all of them are finely crafted, Qingyuan compared with it, it is simply a broken house, and the scenery in the palace is nothing more than that.
Messing with clothes while walking and slandering, you will really enjoy, enjoy the peach blossoms in spring and lotus in summer, look at the chrysanthemum in autumn and look at the snow in winter, you can read all the flavors without leaving home, the luxury is too luxurious, a typical gentleman.
Along the way, the maids and maids I saw were all gorgeous, and even the little maids were a little more handsome than other places, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, this Rong Yunche grew up in the fat powder pile, and likes colors.
Jalan Yi directly found the eldest girl of Xiaofeng Ju, Yanran, and wanted her to hand it over on her behalf, who knew that she needed to send it in person, it was really depressing, and she was not his maid, why should she send it with him.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and besides, they were still such a second ancestor, so it was even more difficult to offend, so they walked to the study in resignation.
The door to the study was open, and suddenly a maid came out, almost colliding head-on with Yayi.
"I'm sorry. Jayi hurriedly apologized, and looked up, An Qiushui, who knew that she was elected to Prince Duan's mansion, but she didn't expect to really come to serve Rong Yunche.
"Jay, why are you here?" An Qiushui has been serving in the study, so naturally he has never seen Jay.
"Like you, I'm now the maid of the third lady, and I'm here to deliver something to the prince today. Jay Yi shook the inkstone in his hand.
cough cough cough .......
There was a cough in the study.
"You go inside. "The eldest young master is here, An Qiushui has been with Rong Yunche for half a year, and he still knows his temperament quite well.
"Okay, I'll go, we'll talk another day. ”
