Chapter 65: Thoughts on Jade
Early in the morning, someone outside the stove room in Wuyi Lane hummed a happy tune. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The maidservants went out to take a look, it was a peach branch, which is also strange, the peach branch since Fu Xuan will pass the first dream after becoming more and more depressed and resentful, every time he takes this firewood out of anger, today he actually hummed a song, what kind of happy event is greedy?
Breakfast was withdrawn one after another, lunch followed by Zhang Luo, it was almost noon, the firewood was almost consumed, but there was no peach branch to send new firewood, the maids couldn't help but be a little anxious, the fat maid took the lead to go out to see, but saw that the peach branch was sitting by the wood pile drinking tea, like a lady of the Xie family, and a basket of wood at the feet was full, and one did not move.
"Peach Branch!" the fat maid was furious, rolled up her sleeve and pulled out the axe in front of Peach Branch, and chopped it the wooden section at the foot of Peach Branch, which made Peach Branch tremble.
The fat maid roared, "Don't you want to make peach branches?
Momozhi stood up, dusted off his hands, and shouted back, "I just won't do it." What?"
"Yo, have you climbed the high branches? Which toad is going out of the house to get married?"
"I won't marry anyone, but I just won't do it!" Taozhi was full of anger when she said this, and the fat maid didn't look like she was bluffing and lazy, but she was also a little timid, and pretended to be a gesture and said: "What kind of benefit is this, even your fat sister doesn't take it seriously?"
"I'm going to pick me up!"
The fat maid was stunned when she heard this, then laughed again, and said, "What should I be, I am daydreaming." β
Taozhi snorted with a smile and said: "It's a pity to disappoint some inferior maids, except for the poor sour girl in this down-and-out stove room, no one in the whole mansion knows that Fu Xuan Gongzi ordered me to accompany him to the Nanling Palace's word appreciation conference." β
"Childe has recruited the first dream girl to go over, and the point is also the first dream, how can it be your turn to be an exiled girl?"
"This first dream is thin and dry, a refugee from the north, how can it be compared with the charm of my peach branch raised in Wuyi Lane since I was a child?" Taozhi said proudly, "Later, there will be a steward who will come to officially pass it on, I won't accompany you here to say something useless, and there is still the burden of moving the house to be cleaned up." β
Taozhi said that he turned his head and entered the firewood room, and the fat maid hurriedly went back to the stove room to inquire, and sure enough, the maids who went to the master's house heard the news, and the prince of Fuxuan had indeed made it clear to Master Xie Quan that he went to the Nanling Wangfu to hold a word appreciation conference, although there was a ban on binding himself, but after all, Jinting was a concubine, and his identity was not as noble as Fuxuan, Xie Quan thought for a moment, or called Fuxuan to go, and Dao Erzhen Niangniang will also go, Tongzhou Wang's Fangxun, The Wei Zhen brothers and sisters also received the invitation, and they could also take care of them together, beware of any conspiracy in the Nanling Palace. And each guest to the banquet can bring a maid or servant with him, Wei Zhen naturally brought Yinglang, no one can take the honor, it happened that Yuncheng volunteered, said that he wanted to go to the Nanling Mansion to see and know, so he agreed to take her to go, and Fu Xuan, he set a peach branch.
Isn't this first dream a hot fight with Fuxuan's son, why didn't Fuxuan take her there?
"Childe. It is rumored that the son of the outside is going to take the Taozhi girl to the Nanling Royal Mansion for the holy banquet, is it true?"
In the bedroom of the eldest son at this end, Fu Xuan was reading a book on the soft couch, and Chu Meng stood respectfully in front of his desk and asked.
Fu Xuan put down the book, stared at the focused eyes of the first dream, and replied lightly: "It's true." β
"Oh......"
The first dream lost his smile, and the bedroom seemed to have lost its vitality, and Fu Xuan's heart also cooled down, but he was silent.
"Are you trying to ask, why didn't I take you there?" Fu Xuan asked.
"Hatsumi didn't want to ask. Chu Meng suddenly knelt down in front of Fu Xuan's knees, and said, "Chu Meng remembers that my former son promised Chu Meng that if I won the spring exam as a student of Kwai Ling Pavilion, he could promise me one thing. Now, Chu Meng asked Gongzi to take me to the Nanling Palace. β
"Do you really want to go like that?" Fu Xuan asked, a subtle sadness flowing between his eyebrows.
"Yes, Hakumeng goes!" Hatsumu leaned over and bowed.
"May I ask why?"
"First Dream...... I want to meet someone. β
"Why do you want to see him?"
"Because...... He saved the first dream ......"
Fu Xuan replied lightly with an "oh", closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and said: "Life-saving benefactor, I should be thankful, get up, I promise you." β
If it is a banquet next to it, Fu Xuan will definitely take Chu Meng to go, but this banquet is extraordinary, set up in Nanling Palace, if Chu Meng is really a female assassin of the Hu people raised by Sima Xi's men, then revisiting the old place will reveal his identity, although Nanling Wangfu may not know that the female assassin lives in Wuyi Alley, but sending the female assassin to the door, there is no such reason. And this banquet is sudden, which hides a murderous motive is unknown, Fu Xuan is unwilling to ask her to go to danger together, so he ordered a peach branch to be a personal maid, and another reason why he released the news in Wuyi Lane is that he wants to make a temptation, he has already known that the first dream is different from the maid in the ordinary mansion, and he will never come to ask the prince to take him to the banquet for vanity, and experience all the things in the house, Chen Bai of the assassination before, he also firmly believes that the first dream recommended himself to go to the Nanling Mansion is not to collude with Sima Xi and others, or there is a conspiracy, Fu Xuan is tentative, what is the origin of this Huan and the first dream, how much weight does Huan have in her heart, and this test, the answer is obvious, it's not as comfortable as not trying.
"First dream to thank Gongzi!"
When the first dream raised his head, there were tears in his eyes, so that Fu Xuan couldn't bear to look at it directly, he knew Huan Jie's conduct, but those things that said the length of the person behind his back, Fu Xuan couldn't do it, in desperation, he had to pick up the book again and pretend to read, his heart was gloomy, and he looked at the excited and inspired face of the first dream, and sighed reluctantly, alas, she was happy.
Chu Meng returned to his side room to dress up for tomorrow's banquet. The hot soup of the bath is boiling and the water is steaming. The maidservants in Wuyi Lane will also look at each other, and now the first dream is being favored by the son, and the utensils prepared with her are also of high quality.
But Chu Meng was not in a hurry to reconcile the bath soup, but only climbed under the bed, dragged out a wooden box from a hidden corner under the bed, opened it lightly, and took out the carefully preserved scroll in it.
It was the calligraphy that Ye Huan gave to the first dream.
The soap flowers in the bathtub on the side melted, and the fragrance dispersed, and the first dream carefully stared at the ink under the faint candlelight. The grace of saving life is engraved in the heart of the woman who trekked alone, and the first dream is such a person who knows how to repay the kindness, after the farewell of the town that day, the first dream always remembers this arrogant and presumptuous but brave and fearless Hanmen scholar, moth eyebrows slightly frowned, beautiful eyes with emotion, completely unknown that the person has used her manuscript as his own soaring worship, looking at people distressed.
On the other side of the peach branch, until the middle of the moon, no one came to officially announce that she had been selected or returned to her previous identity. In front of Taozhi was her well-packed baggage, sitting on the edge of the wood-room sleeping bunk, looking directly at the moon outside the window through the depressed window lattice.
There was a sudden commotion outside the house, and in the dark night, the stove room was lit again, and the footsteps of the maidservants became trivial, and the peach branches sat in the firewood room in a daze, as if isolated from the world.
"Hurry up! Miss Wei Zhen wants to drink black chicken and white date porridgeβ" A maid came running from afar, shouting as she ran.
"Why do you suddenly want to drink porridge in the big night, how can you say that you want it, and the black chicken still needs to be killed......
"Haven't you heard, Gongzi Fu Xuan ordered his first dream to go to the banquet again, and it reached Miss Weizhen's ears, aren't you depressed, you haven't used dinner, isn't this going to be hungry......
"This Miss Weizhen is a beautiful girl, what do you want to be angry with a personal maid. β
"Chu Meng moved to Childe's bedroom, and you are Miss Weizhen, this was originally to invite you to live in Wuyi Lane and match you with Childe's relatives, but now I put you aside and spoil other women in front of you, will you not be angryββ"
Peach Branch heard it clearly in the firewood room, her former high-spirited little face was as silent as the simple firewood room she was in, her eyes that were bright and bright in the past also lost their black color, she only snorted softly, her cheeks twitched, she laughed first, laughed and laughed and cried, cried and cried, and cried and cried, and cried and laughed, and tears poured down like a torrent of water.
Fu Xuan Gongzi, you deceived Taozhi so hard!
