Chapter 6: Dreams

It was getting late, so Cai Qiong persuaded her to rest quickly.

The next day's plum banquet was very important to the girl's family, and I didn't need to go into detail at all.

Hui Zhi lay down slowly, tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but dreamed of the Valley of Silence.

Mrs. Qiwu stood on the Lantai with a faint fragrance, and next to her was the bamboo pavilion that her father had mentioned in front of the bamboo forest in the mountains, the weak water girl she had never met sat in the attic near the water to make incense, and Senior Sister Jiang shuttled through the medicine forest to stop and go.

There was also a young man dressed in azure clothes with a blurred face, who was slowly approaching from Mirror Lake in a small boat, smiling brightly and calling her nickname.

"Nuan Nuan, come here!"

When she was away from home, her father was only allowed to call her by her nickname.

As the boy drew nearer, she opened her legs and tried to move forward, but she saw the embroidered shoes on her feet, about half an inch smaller than the current shoes, decorated with round agate beads.

This is clearly my favorite pair of embroidered shoes when I was a child!

So the young man who approached him in the dream was Senior Brother Pei as Senior Sister Jiang said?

It is said that at the age of his teens, he mastered most of the Butcher Uncle Tu Anqing's Bisheng Peerless Learning, and his light skills were especially good, and he could disappear in an instant, making people unable to perceive the direction.

She was very curious, was this dream a dream, or was it a memory hidden in her mind? After all, she had never seen Sister Weak Water, and neither had Senior Brother Pei.

But the young man clearly looks like he knows himself, and he also knows that his nickname is Nuan Nuan.

Hui Zhi slowly raised her feet and walked forward, staring earnestly at the face that was getting closer and closer, but still blurry.

Ten steps, nine steps, only five steps remained.

She had already seen that his azure clothes were adorned with a white tiger-like mutton fat jade pendant, his hair was ebony hairpin, and he was holding a beautiful ancient sword in his hand, and he was dressed very simply.

It was as if he was about to see Senior Brother Pei's face.

But I suddenly heard Yifang's soft, eager voice.

"It's time for the girl to get up. ”

Hui Zhi rolled over in annoyance, muttered something that no one could hear, and sighed again.

"I'm just two steps away from seeing it."

She turned over again, rolled around, and took the courage to catch her, so she hid in the bed, so that she couldn't touch it, so that she went to pull her quilt.

The two of them quarreled like this for a moment before Hui Zhi got up. While grooming and drinking honey water, Aman, who sent the honey water, came back from a visit at home yesterday and carefully returned to her.

"There are a few small vendors in the alley to the north of the back corner gate, and they all say that a young woman in coarse cloth clothes has come every three or five days in the past two months, but although she is dressed in ordinary clothes, her behavior and speech are not at all like ordinary people's, and they are somewhat similar to the mothers who have heads and faces in our house. But it seems to be more exquisite, and when the legs are stained with dust, they immediately stop and take a careful photo, and their hair is also meticulously combed, with a plain silver hairpin, but on their hands is a pair of beautiful agate bracelets. ”

This kind of description is a bit like the people who need to be used by the ladies in the backyard of the noble family.

"Did you ask which side you came from?"

"I don't know where it came from, but once the wind blew the blue cloth on the basket she was carrying, and someone saw a box of rose powder from Lan Linju inside. ”

"The vendor in the back still knows what the rose powder in Lanlinju looks like?"

Lanlinju is a big store that has produced tribute powder, and ordinary people are not very able to afford Lanlinju's spice powder. Its rose fragrance powder is especially precious because of Shen Guifei's preference.

The man I saw was not a peddler, but an apprentice in a ready-to-wear store in the north, who often accompanied his master in and out of various prefectures, and happened to know the rose powder of Lan Linju. ”

Then this person is **, he is the descendant of the Shen family of the imperial businessman.

Shen Guifei likes the taste of Lanlinju rose powder, so the ladies and ladies of the Shen family like to use rose powder, and Aunt Lin's brother happens to be the second manager in the Shen family's shop.

The corner gate in the backyard of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an goes north to Lanlin Ju, and Lan Linju is on the Goldfish Street where the Shen family lives in the east city and the south city where the Hou Mansion is located.

But what are the people of the Shen family for when they let the fourth sister enter the palace? Shen Guifei's holy family is thick, and she turns her hands into clouds and rains in the palace, so why do you care who enters the palace?

Could it be that Empress Yuan's body has run out of oil, so the emperor has the intention of changing the queen?

And Shen Guifei is in the harem, although she is high, she has no heirs. However, what does this have to do with the fourth sister?

The queen of the middle palace is absolutely impossible to let the concubines of the Hou Mansion sit.

Hui Zhi didn't understand Shen Guifei's intention to do this, she rewarded Aman with a pair of purple jade earrings, and still took Pei Lan and Green Sleeves to Jiamutang to greet her mother.

After breakfast, Mrs. Zhou, who was in the second room, took the fifth girl Suiping into Jiamutang.

Mrs. Zhou is a few years younger than her mother Wang, she is the biological mother of the second sister Huizhu, the mother of the third sister, the fifth sister, the seventh sister, and the eighth sister.

Sui Ping's eyebrows and eyes are harmonious, the appearance is very well-behaved and quiet, and Hui Zhi combs the same double hanging bun, wearing two butterfly beads on both sides, hanging an inch-long, with bean-sized gold beads and small palace flowers decorated with tassels;

Covered with blue auspicious clouds pattern, Ruyi Zimu buckle than the armor, blue plain Hunan skirt, hanging a white jade pendant decorated with a strange plum blossom, and a round waist purse embroidered with silver plum blossoms on a blue background. Goose yellow tuft flower satin shoes. is dressed very decently, not outstanding or dull, behind Mrs. Zhou, quietly like a foil.

Sui Ping stepped forward to salute Wang, and Hui Zhi also saluted Zhou, and the two greeted each other, so they went to the flower hall to gossip and talk about tricks.

Zhou looked at Hui Zhi quietly, although she was young, she was tall, only less than an inch lower than the year, embroidered shoes decorated with rice pearls, twelve Hunan skirts with camel red passionflower dark pattern embroidered with gold thread peony edges, stand-up collar placket pearl buckle jacket made of navy blue entwined branch lotus pattern Hangzhou silk, knotted with a pair of red ties on the chest, and a pair of golden hibiscus beads on her head, the color scheme was bold and bright, but surprisingly stable and beautiful.

Wang smiled and held Zhou's hand, praised her for the beauty of the hairpin on her head, the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Linglong was ready to enter the house. The Wang family saw that the hour was almost up, and a few people walked out of the weeping flower gate surrounded by a group of maids and women, bypassed the wall shadow of the pine crane and got into the carriage between the two gates.

The Sincerity Bofu is also in the south of the city, separated by two alleys, but it will be at the door in two or three quarters of an hour.

Mrs. Xiao Wang received her at the second gate, and when she saw the carriage of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, she hurriedly stepped forward and helped the two ladies and young ladies to get out of the car.

Mrs. Xiao Wang smiled and saluted Mrs. Cheng'an and Mrs. Zhou, and turned her gaze to Hui Zhi and Sui Ping.

It's just that it was just a flicker on Sui Ping's face, and it returned to Hui Zhi's face. The little girl couldn't take her eyes off her eyes more and more, her cream-like skin, exuding a faint, pearl-like halo, her straight nose, her pink lips, her eyes like the moon shining in a clean night, and the golden hibiscus petals on the beaded flowers on her sideburns trembled, which matched the gold embroidery on the cuffs, and the little girl saluted herself with a smile.

shouted crisply in his mouth, "Auntie!" with bright eyes and bright teeth, very good-looking.

Sui Ping also saluted on the side.

The group was welcomed to the Liangyi Building for tea.

Not long after, the wives of the imperial merchant Shen family, the ladies of Su Ge's hometown, and the ladies of the Wuwei Hou family entered the door one after another.

Hui Zhi sat in the small flower hall, Sui Ping was beside her, accompanied by Ouyang Mu, and when she heard that the people of the Shen family had arrived, she silently looked at Mrs. Shen Su through the bead curtain, and then glanced at Aman, and continued to chat with Ouyang Mu.
