Chapter 40: The Jade Maiden's Art Pot (1)
The days in the palace vary from person to person, and for the women who desperately want to ascend to the last throne and dress up every day to show off their fancy and intrigue, every day seems to be an ordeal, full of anticipation and fear.
And for Yuwen Yanshu, an idler raised in the palace, every day is also a hopeless torment. She had no intention of fighting in the palace, so she had to stay at the gate of the Tea Hall every day except for morning and dusk.
Pin Ming Xuan is a courtyard that the queen rewarded her, and it is only a cup of tea away from Fengyi Palace. The place is not big, it is better to be quiet and elegant, a few scattered osmanthus trees, the flowers have withered, but the green leaves are still thick and green and want to drip in the wind and swagger. There is a pond in the southeast corner, surrounded by rocks like dogs' teeth, and a few red carp swim freely in the crystal clear water.
There are two little turtles lying on the small rockery protruding in the water basking in the sun, these two little turtles are the meeting gifts brought by Yang Hao when he came to visit for the first time, this gift is not unconventional, Yuwen Yanshu likes it very much. But Xiao Jingqi didn't give Yang Mu a good look for a long time, because he gave the turtle when they met for the first time, obviously scolding them secretly.
"What are you embroidering?" The regular customers of Pin Mingxuan consciously held up the embroidery on Yuwen Yanshu's hand with his hand, and his eyebrows were twisted into "eight", no wonder he had a short vision, but it was really ...... Can anyone explain what this strand is all about, and who can explain what is the sudden blank space in between?
"Don't embroider, don't embroider, this thing is clearly embarrassing. Yuwen Yan was so angry that he threw the miserable embroidery embroidered on the table, he didn't have much confidence, and he was even more discouraged by Yang Zhen's words.
Xiao Jingqi chose to be silent very wisely, and consciously grounded Yuwen Yanshu in Pin Ming Xuan, it seems to be peaceful these months, but in fact, his temper has grown a lot, and all kinds of strange ideas are also gurgling out non-stop, and the whole person's tricks are not repeated.
Yang Zhen sneered with silk thread on the side.
"Brother Zhen, you've been very idle lately. Yuwen Yan looked at him with a smile on his eyebrows.
Yang Zhen immediately became alert: "I'm very busy, not idle at all, you see that I finally found time to come over today." ”
"Oh~~~~" Yuwen Yanshu's "oh" is called a meaningful one.
Yang Zhen hurriedly stood up and pretended to look at the sky: "Oh, it's not early, my father asked me to go to the Criminal Department to deal with some things, I said goodbye, I said goodbye, and I will come to see you another day." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man had already reached the middle of the courtyard, and the minions in the courtyard all looked at him strangely. Yang Zhen thought that there was something on his face, so he wiped his face and walked out of the courtyard calmly.
Yang Mu, who happened to be oncoming, followed by a subordinate holding a boxy box in his hand.
"Second brother, what new things are you bringing here?" Da Sui gave a heavy salute, and Yang Zhen, who was a younger brother, had to say hello first, which was the basic etiquette.
Yang Mu stood and looked at Yang Zhen, who walked out of Pinmingxuan, with a calm face but slightly flustered steps, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Nothing, come to say hello to the queen's mother, and bring some gadgets that girls like by the way?"
Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at him tacitly, since Yuwen Yanshu entered the palace, Yang Mu's footsteps seemed to be more diligent than before. Every once in a while, he sent some strange things to Pin Mingxuan, saying that it was to make amends for the last time Yuwen Yanshu fell into the water in the Shu Palace, but in Yang Zhen's opinion, it was true that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
If you don't particularly notice Yuwen Yanshu's unique and quirky hobbies, how can it happen that every time she sends something, she will be happy for a few days.
"There is still something to be dealt with in the Criminal Department, and the younger brother retired first. Yang Zhenli was thoughtful and slightly.
Yang Mu put his mind on the little face full of smiles that he was about to see for a while, and let out a "hmm" that he didn't care about, and kept walking forward.
"Third brother, you?" At the moment when he passed by Yang Zhen, Yang Mu suddenly stopped Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen turned around strangely, and saw Yang Mu's strange expression, which was the same as those servants just now, and wondered, "What's the matter?"
Yang Mu couldn't hold back his chuckle, reached out and pulled out something from behind him and handed it to him: "Oh, it's been plotted again." ”
Yang Zhen looked at the painting in his hand, an old man's face with a long beard, a few thick black lines with deep wrinkles, and the words next to it: I'm busy, who dares to disturb me! His face couldn't help but turn from doubt to shock, and then he gritted his teeth at the invisible person. This is not the first time he has suffered, the last time he came over, he was unknowingly put a golden hairpin on his head by her, if he hadn't been discovered by the little eunuch under his command earlier, his face would not have been able to rest.
"Hey, second brother, why be so angry, she's just a child. Yang Mu stretched out his hand to block Yang Zhen, who was so angry that he was about to rush in to settle the account: "If the second brother doesn't like it, he will come less in the future." ”
Yang Zhen calmed down, looking at his second brother with a smile, his eyes were dark and he couldn't see what was hidden inside, on the other hand, Yang Mu looked at him with a smile like a spring breeze, gentle and humble.
"It's okay, if she likes to make trouble, let her go, otherwise her out-of-the-box temperament won't be suffocated in this palace. ”
Flick your sleeves and walk away.
He is not angry with Yuwen Yanshu, he is even very happy about her little tricks, compared to these little tricks that will make him unable to get off the stage, he prefers her delicate and lovely appearance when she surrounds him afterwards to admit her mistakes. Obviously, she teased him first, but when she saw her eyes full of innocent grievances and a flattering smile on her handsome face, she immediately left all her unhappiness and anger behind. At that moment, he finally understood why King Zhou You was willing to let her play with the princes for the sake of Bao You.
But he didn't want Yang Mu to see Yuwen Yanshu's appearance when he admitted his mistake, what if Yang Mu would please her, her smile would only give those little things he brought, and would not give it to him, as long as Xiao Jing was not there, why bother. Besides, Yang Mu, you forgot that there is still a person in this palace who is haggard for you.
In Pin Ming Xuan, Yuwen Yanshu saw Yang Mu coming in, and immediately jumped over with bright eyes: "Good brother, what did you bring this time?"
Yuwen Yanshu has always insisted on calling Yang Mu "good brother", which sounds like "Brother Hao", because every time she sees him, she inevitably thinks of Qu Junhao who was at the end of her previous life, and she can't help but want to shout "Hao".
said that he wanted to forget jì, but the memory is so stubborn, and he would rather stubbornly guard the corner of the day than leave lightly.
Yang Mu was in a good mood as soon as she saw her, and she didn't know why she felt that all the burdens on her shoulders could be lifted when she saw it, what kind of storage dispute, what political treachery, those were all dirty things, she shouldn't be allowed to know, let alone let her know. He subconsciously separated her from Yang, who was a fellow believer, and she was someone who deserved to be cared for.
"Guess. Although it was winter, Yang Mu's face was also full of sunshine.
Here it is again, Xiao Jingqi pursed her lips, put down the half-sewn clothes in her hand, and reluctantly went to the side hall to pour tea. In fact, this thing can be done by someone, but Yang Mu's mouth is very picky, she has to drink some "kung fu tea", and this errand will fall on her head, who let her follow Yuwen Yanshu, the master of "kung fu tea" who understands.
"I don't know how to read minds, how can I know?" Yuwen Yanshu pouted dissatisfiedly.
Yang Mu scratched her face, opened the box with one hand, and took out a stone block that looked like a cube carved from marble, the outside of the stone was smooth and flat, and there was not even a pattern, it looked no different from ordinary marble, and it was not as good as the delicate and small copper hammer in the box.
Yuwen Yanshu was disappointed: "You bring a useless stone, it's better to take me out of the palace." ”
"Don't worry. ”
Yang Mu mysteriously picked up the small copper hammer next to him, knocked twice on the stone, only to hear the continuous "card click" sound, the stone in the middle of the top slid to both sides like a lid, and a small figure with a white jade carving holding a jade pot rose from the middle of the stone. The villain maid is dressed up, her eyebrows are slender and her eyes are smooth, and every line is polished smooth and round, and the whole person is lifelike.
Yuwen Yanshu exclaimed: "It's so exquisite." Hurriedly pounced, up and down, left and right, carefully looked at it clearly, and the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't put it down.
Xiao Jingqi, who came out with tea, was also amazed: "Lord Wang, you are so amazing, where did you find such a delicate thing?"
Yang Muxiao, who was praised, said with a smile: "This thing is called the Jade Girl Zhenyi Pot, and it was brought back by one of my subordinates who went to the Western Regions, and I thought that Shu'er might like it and sent it over immediately." ”
"This practicality is also very good, Miss Xiao please pour the tea in your hand into this jade pot. ”
Xiao Jingqi obeyed curiously, and poured the tea into the jade pot that was the same size as the teapot in her hand: "Could it be that she will pour tea?"
Yang Muyang raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, just knocked on the villain's right foot with a small copper hammer, and sure enough, he heard a few more "clicks", and the jade man fell forward slightly under the surprised gazes of Yuwen Yanshu and Xiao Jingqi, and a green tea poured out.
"It's amazing. ”
"I really will. ”
"I don't care, this thing is mine. Yuwen Yanshu ignored the tea that poured out who wet his clothes, and hurriedly hugged the stone that looked inconspicuous just now, refusing to let go.
Sure enough, things can't be seen, who would have thought that such an inconspicuous stone, but the structure inside is so delicate and meticulous.
"Lord Wang, the celery girl of Ziyuan has come to report, Princess Yongchang invites you to come over. Xiao Jiangzi, who was guarding outside the door, suddenly came in and interrupted Yang Mu, who was about to speak.
Yang Mu frowned imperceptibly, and his face was no longer as gentle and amiable as just now: "What's the matter?"
"It is said that there are unknown people mixed in the palace. ”
"Why don't you go to General Ni Shengchi?"
Ni Shengchi is the head of the palace guards.
"Even if Sister Yongchang is looking for you, why don't you go over?" Yuwen Yanshu lowered his head and only cared about studying the Jade Maiden Zhenyi Pot, and said casually: "Sister must have something important to look for you, you should go quickly." ”
In fact, she was afraid that Yang Mu would regret it when she looked at such a cute thing after staying here for a long time, so she wished he left quickly.
Yang Mu thought about knowing her little thoughts, and didn't break it at all, just nodded: "It's okay, I'll come to see you in a few days." ”
