Chapter 41: Female Officer
It happened that in the evening, Mrs. Sun borrowed someone from the palace from the Queen Mother into the Hou Mansion. It is a female official surnamed Shao, who looks like she is in her thirties. The clothes with lotus patterns in plain land, the hairpin of white jade, the makeup is delicate but simple, and the appearance is very kind, which looks the same as the average housekeeper mother.
But listening to Mrs. Tai's tone, she is a very remarkable character.
After the female official Shao greeted Mrs. Sun, she went to Jiamutang to see Mrs. Hou. Wang smiled and accepted the gift, and gave her a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water heads, and told Pearl to call the third girl, Suihua, to come over and see Mother Shao.
Wang's complexion is very good today, his complexion is ruddy, and his lotus-colored short jacket is matched with jade green and jade green armor decorated with treasure and mother buckles, which looks refreshed. As soon as she asked Linglong to take Shao's mother to the flower hall to rest and have tea, Sui Fan and Huizhi entered Jiamutang. So he sat down with a smile, each served a bowl of sweet soup, and carefully taught the two girls how to be hospitable: "...... The hot water in the tea room should be boiled all the time, and all kinds of tea and refreshments should be prepared in advance. Aunt Zhou in the second room likes Longjing, and Mrs. Wuwei Hou prefers the ripe tea offered in the south. The girl of the Pei family is young, and the sweet tea and fruits of flowers and herbs must be prepared, and tomorrow I remember that someone will buy some sugar from Changqing Building, and the little girls love to eat it. Or "Wu Weihou fought abroad when he was young, and the chefs in our house will also prepare some spicy food, and Pei Shizi has not recovered from his injury, so the soup must be made lighter." ”
As soon as she said a few words, Pearl took Mrs. Zhou and the third girl, Suihua, into the house, and several people's eyes turned to Suihua. I saw her slowly step forward and say ten thousand blessings very beautifully, and then turned to greet several sisters. The little girl who served tea had just put a cup of red date longan tea in Wang's hand, and Mrs. Zhou was about to walk to Wang's side, and as soon as she said a few words, Mother Shao in the flower hall next to her walked out with Linglong.
Suihua's eyes turned to Shao's mother, and Shao's mother's eyes also fell on Suihua's body.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the flowers and bones are as delicate as the bones, and the eyes are as clear as water, but they can't see the bottom at a glance. Tall and tall, wearing a goose yellow stand-up collar straight sleeve long jacket, covered with a concubine-colored gold gown, lining her delicate figure, her face is like a peach blossom; ”
is not flattering, not coquettish or arrogant, not very similar to most family girls, and not very similar to most family girls. Etiquette and upbringing, face and figure, as if they were born to enter the palace to serve the master.
Mother Shao didn't answer it sideways, and only said: "The third girl is really tormenting the slave." Then he nodded quietly to Mrs. Wang.
The moment Wang entered the house from Suihua, his heart slowly fell. Female Officer Shao nodded, which shows that she has chosen the right person. She was really worried that the Qin family had never been out of the palace concubine, and Suihua, a child, didn't know if she could protect herself in the palace in the future?
She opened her mouth and instructed Linglong to arrange for Shao's mother to live in Suihua's courtyard, and left Mrs. Tuesday and Suihua to have dinner with them, and ordered the kitchen to add a few dishes lively.
***
The study room in the front yard is named Ganyu Building, which is taken from "Xi Xi Xiangfeng, Qi Qi Ganyu", and takes the smooth meaning of "Yingfu Shun, Ganyu Shiye";
Pei Gu lives in the Yaoguang Pavilion.
Three large wing-rooms, with a beautiful little pavilion next to it. In the rainy day, there are evergreen trees planted at the door, the grass color has not yet emerged, the bluestone slab road is neatly stacked, a few plum trees are planted on the side of the pavilion, and two bushes next to the stone steps welcome spring. The scenery is elegant and beautiful, and it does not look decadent in the cold at all.
It's a great place to heal and live. The layout of the wing room is secretly arranged according to the Big Dipper, and he has been looking at it for the past few days, I am afraid that there is still something inside.
After all, Cheng Anhou is the uncle of the same sect, and the strange soldiers are in the armor, and the army is arranged, which must be above him. Every flower and tree seems to be arranged with a deep meaning - not only does it look pleasing to the eye, but it is also an easy to defend and difficult to attack array.
In the middle of the room, there is a splashed ink landscape painting, the bedroom is hung with ink plum pictures, on the large case near the window, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete, the stone blue Su Luo tent is hung on the stepping bed, and the incense burner is burning with good soothing incense. is well organized, and the Cheng'an Hou Mansion takes good care of him.
Pei Gu's thoughts swirled on Nuan Nuan's increasingly bright face, and he thought of what Qin Yuan had just said to him.
His father only asked him a few years ago, but he wanted to find a vacancy, what kind of job to seek, but he didn't expect that after the New Year, he actually sued him, and did one or two activities for him, and entered the Imperial Forest Army in the spring, and worked hard to be a guard with a knife in the palace, and said: "When you are young, you should work hard and run for a future - otherwise you will sit on the mountain, although our family is a hereditary marquis, but we should also reflect on the hard-won achievements of the Japanese army every day." ”
Whether it is Wenyuan Pavilion or Wuying Palace, it is a very important place in the palace. His father ran for him and arranged him in such a place, although it would be harder - night shifts in the palace, patrolling with knives, and routine drills may be difficult things for the son of the family, but he had studied martial arts in the Silent Valley for many years, and this hard work may not be considered hard.
The thought turned to his own injuries again. Zhang Ji's Lantern Festival shop, behind it is clearly people from the three princes' faction, why did the prince's guards go to Zhang Ji?
Today, Qin Yuan said clearly: "When the group of people withdrew, I saw that the small window next to the main house in the small courtyard opened a palm-sized space. Inside, a woman dressed as a woman quietly looked outside. However, there are no lights in the house, and most people probably don't see it. ”
And why did the prince's people carry such a pungent poison on their daggers. If it weren't for Senior Sister Jiang's rescue with a needle, if it weren't for Qin Yuan's help to force out the poison for him, I'm afraid he would have died soon.
The crown prince is in decline, and the three princes have a faint intention of contending, but in the celebration in the first month, the queen is the queen who re-presides over it, and the prince's faction may not always be in decline.
Pei Gu sat by the window, but the more thoughts in his mind he thought about it, like a mess, strangled in people's brains, causing people headaches.
In the midst of the headache, he suddenly remembered that the guards sent by the prince to Zhang Ji that day were now in the prison of Shuntianfu, but they had not yet been convicted! If his father made a move, or his uncle, Cheng'anhou, started to inquire, maybe he could figure out a thing or two?
Thinking of this, Pei Gu poured himself a cup of hot tea to suppress the discomfort in his head, raised his legs and walked towards Ganyulou.
