The pale cyan tea towel on the flat side, looking at nothing special, Song Lanzhi felt familiar, Yao Keqing remembered that this tea towel was sent by the sewing room, and Chun'er was in the sewing room, and Chun'er went to the Guogong Mansion very often before......

All kinds of signs were linked, which seemed to verify Yao Keqing's previous suspicions, and his heart moved, Yao Keqing pretended to be casual and said, "Xu has seen something similar from the fourth aunt or someone else!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Song Lanzhi nodded suddenly, "I just saw it at my mother's place, the same color, the same fabric, even the embroidery is exactly the same, my mother likes begonia flowers the most, so most of the utensils in my mother's house are embroidered with the style of begonia flowers, no wonder I feel that this tea towel is familiar at a glance!"

"That's really a coincidence, I asked the sewing room to embroider all kinds of patterns for me, and I just used this begonia pattern today!" Yao Keqing pinched the tea towel, his eyes bright.

Yao Keqing vaguely remembered that the eldest princess said that when Song Ziqing was no longer in the house in the early years, the maids in his yard had no errands to do, so he asked them to make some clothes and shoes for Song Ziqing. I went to the warehouse to look for it, but I found nothing, and suddenly remembered that the current Shuangqing Garden was not where Song Ziqing used to live, but I was afraid that those things had not been moved before, and it seemed that I couldn't compare the stitches.

When Yao Keqing was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw Xiuxiu, his heart moved, and he beckoned Xiuxiu to come over.

Xiuxiu happily ran over, "Young grandma!"

Seeing that there were still beads of sweat on Xiuxiu's forehead, Yao Keqing couldn't help asking, "Is there anything important about running in such a hurry?"

Xiuxiu shook her head shyly, "The lotus flowers in the pond have bloomed, and the slave maid wants to come and talk to the young grandmother, so as not to miss the flowering period!"

"You have a heart, wipe your sweat!"

Hearing this, Xiuxiu took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and the plum blossoms embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief loomed.

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Yao Keqing still recognized that the embroidery was the same as the begonia flower pattern on the tea towel, and it should be from the same person, so he asked casually, "This is what Aunt Chun embroidered for you, right?"

Xiuxiu nodded, "It was embroidered by Aunt Chun, young grandma has good eyesight!"

Yao Keqing secretly said that his suspicions were indeed right, now that Chun'er is on an errand in the needlework room, away from her eyes, she is not idle, and her legs and feet are fast enough, how long has it been with the people of the Guogong Mansion, but I don't know what they are seeking from each other......

"Is the young grandmother going to enjoy the lotus flowers?" Seeing that Yao Keqing was silent, thinking that she was afraid of the heat, Xiuxiu said, "It's cool on the edge of the pond, it's not hot at all, sitting in the pavilion, the sun can't shine!"

The time for the autumn exam is getting closer and closer, Yao Keqing is busy solving the topic, and he has to pay attention to the movements of the Yao family, as well as dealing with the Guogong Mansion next door, and he doesn't have much time to spend on recreation, but he saw that Xiuxiu specially ran for this matter, and he looked sincere and thoughtful for himself, and he didn't want her to be too disappointed, so he said, "You go and pick a few lotus flowers and come back to insert the bottle, and when my mother is free, I will go to see it with my mother!"

Hearing Yao Keqing say that he wanted to go to see it with the eldest princess, he felt that it was better, so he happily agreed, "Yes, the slave will go and cut the best one back!"

Xiuxiu rushed to pick lotus flowers, but after a long time, she didn't come back, Yao Keqing was about to send someone to ask, but saw Chun'er coming with a bouquet of flower branches, and there were tears on her tranquil face, "Xiuxiu fell, and the slave maid sent the flowers that the young grandmother asked for for her!"

Looking at Chun'er's expression, Xiuxiu's fall was not light, Yao Keqing couldn't help but ask, "Where did it fall?

"Xiuxiu she...... Temperament jumped, ran too fast, didn't look at the feet, accidentally stepped on the moss by the pond, knocked his head......" Chun'er said, her eyes began to red again, "I've invited a doctor to come and see, it's no big deal, just rest for a few days, the slave maid also wants to take a few days off for her, it's too late, the flowers are a little wilted, and I ask the young grandmother to forgive her for her sins......"

Although Xiuxiu fell, the few lotus flowers she picked were completely neat, and there was no damage at all, if she hadn't had to protect the lotus, I was afraid that she wouldn't have fallen so hard!

It's good that people are fine, how flowers are secondary, and Xiuxiu went to the pond after listening to her own instructions, she also had some responsibility for this fall, and she felt guilty, and she was very considerate to allow Xiuxiu to take half a month's leave, and told Chun'er to take care of Xiuxiu.

Chun'er stepped back gratefully.

Gui Yuan took the celadon vase and came over to insert the lotus flowers, Yao Keqing helped her prune the lotus flowers, and inserted them in a staggered manner, Gui Yuan smiled, "It's still a young grandmother's ingenuity, and the slave maid will only insert it together!"

Yao Keqing chuckled, put down the pruning scissors and was about to wash his hands, and Gui Yuan was busy getting hot water.

Fingers touched, Yao Keqing suddenly found that there seemed to be a greasy touch between his fingers, and sniffed it in front of his nose, it turned out to be the smell of tung oil, Yao Keqing hurriedly pulled the lotus out of the vase, touched it along the stem, and sure enough, he also felt a greasy feeling in the lower third of the corolla, and several branches were stained with tung oil in almost the same position, this position ...... Yao Keqing smoothly held the place stained with tung oil, so that it was best to hold the bouquet...... This seems to be how Chun'er brought the flowers just now......

Gui Yuan came in with water, and saw Yao Keqing grabbing all the lotus flowers that had just been planted in his hand, and said in surprise, "Young grandma, you are ......?"

Yao Keqing reinserted the flower, hurriedly washed his hands and said as he walked, "You follow me to the pond to have a look!"

Gui Yuan hurriedly put down the basin of water and followed behind Yao Keqing for some reason.

Yao Keqing didn't enjoy the flowers when he arrived at the pond, just stared at the road, Gui Yuan was even more puzzled, seeing that Yao Keqing was not far from the pond, Gui Yuan hurriedly said, "Young grandma be careful!"

Yao Keqing in front of him took two more steps before stopping, staring at the slightly sloping bluestone steps in front of him in a daze, Gui Yuan followed Yao Keqing's gaze and looked over, it was just a wet bluestone slab, was there anything special?

Gui Yuan was about to ask, but Yao Keqing suddenly squatted down, wiped the "wet" floor with a handkerchief, and then put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, his brows suddenly furrowed, but his eyes were clear.

Gui Yuan felt that there was something strange here, and the person immediately became vigilant, and when he looked around and saw no one else, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter......?"

Before she finished speaking, Yao Keqing had already stretched the veil under the tip of her nose, this smell was very familiar, it was the smell of tung oil used to light tung oil lamps in the room, "It's tung oil!"

The wet steps in front of me were not wet with water, but were splashed with tung oil, which was splashed on the slate, but it was very slippery, and if you were not careful, you would fall on it, and it was not a joke to fall on this hard slate......
