Chapter 515: What's New
In the city of Luoyang, as the patients in the relocation workshop continue to recover, the whole city is full of joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The street, which has been deserted for more than a month, gradually increases the number of pedestrians. In addition to the people who had to run around for their livelihood, the ladies and ladies who were bored in the mansion, and the literati and artists began to go out to play.
Jiashan Fang, Xu House.
Qingluo jumped back from the outer courtyard with a grin, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she saw Mama Zheng staring at her. Sticking out his tongue, he walked in with his hands and feet lightly, and saluted with low eyebrows: "Mama Zheng is good." ”
Mama Zheng said solemnly: "Wanton noise, no rules." He turned around and took the ruler: "Twenty strokes." ”
Qingluo didn't dare to argue, obediently stretched out her left hand and took the ring ruler.
After all, she was a maid who was trained by herself, and Mama Zheng didn't do it ruthlessly. Looking at the palms that are red, in fact, it is just some skin and flesh suffering, just raise it for two days.
"Do you know why I punished you?"
Qingluo inhaled cold air in pain and replied, "Mama is for my good." ”
"You just need to know." Mama Zheng said bitterly: "Miss is going to marry into the Zhongguo Mansion in two years, and you can't make the slightest mistake when you enter the door." At your age, you will definitely become a dowry maid. However, if you are so unruly, even if you endure the pain, I can't let you follow Miss. ”
Qingluo bowed her head in shame, she also knew this truth. It's just that I heard a few new things today, and I forgot about it for a while.
"The maid knows, and she won't let Mama down."
Glancing at her, Mama Zheng said, "Go down and apply the medicine, and then come to the lady's room and tell me what you heard." ”
Qingluo's eyes widened in surprise, how could Mama know everything? It's like a god.
Seeing her retreat, the corners of Mama Zheng's lips hooked up a faint smile.
Qingluo has a lively temperament and a friendly appearance, and it is easy to get along with people, win the trust of others, and be the best at inquiring about things. Miss needs such a person by her side, and in the back house, what she is most afraid of is news blockage. As long as she gets her breathless temperament over, it can be of great use.
Xu Wan really concentrated on painting in the room, and the pen was a picture of "Three Friends of the Cold Year". Pine, bamboo, and plum are the three friends of the year, and the literati and scholars will draw one or two, each with its own charm, and it is best to practice it.
Mama Zheng entered the door, Xu Wanzhen put down the paintbrush in her hand and asked, "Mama is in trouble?" ”
"Qingluo went on a trip to the street, and I guess there will be some new things to tell the young lady later."
Xu Wanzhen smiled lightly, it seems that Qingluo has eaten again. It's really good to have Mama Zheng here, and she will never let herself worry about these things about training the maid.
"Mama bothered."
"Miss doesn't have to be polite, the old body should be planning for Miss."
After painting this, Xu Wanzhen became more and more dissatisfied the more she looked at it, and instructed Sang Zi: "When the ink is dry, just put it aside." ”
"It's a shame to have such a good painting!" Sang Zi was a little reluctant.
"You know what?" Xu Wanzhen smiled and pointed to her: "Look, the pine branches here are not strong enough, and the pen power is too soft." The density between the bamboo leaves is even worse, and it lacks that kind of charm. When I was free, I asked my great-grandfather to draw a picture of pine and bamboo and think about it carefully. ”
Xu Wanzhen cleaned her hands, and Qingmai wrapped her hands with plain silk to wipe them dry, but applied the balm carefully. This set of maintenance procedures is formulated by Mama Zheng, as long as it touches the water, it must be carried out accordingly, and her pair of softness is more and more tender and delicate like clotted fat.
Qingluo asked to see her outside, and Xu Wanzhen raised her voice to let her in.
Her eyes fell on her hand wrapped in white Suluo, and Xu Wanzhen smiled: "What did you hear, it is worth taking a beating?" ”
Qingluo just wanted to stick out her tongue, thinking of the pain of Fang Cai's flesh and skin, and hurriedly gave a proper salute: "The maid has seen the young lady." Today, the sister-in-law of the Wan family has a lot of things to buy, so she called the maid to help with her, and she heard a lot of things. I don't know, which one does the young lady want to start listening to? ”
Sang Zi quipped: "You little hoof, you have learned to behave." Miss, let her talk next to each other, and not a single one can be left behind. ”
"Okay, let's start with the first thing you hear when you go out." Xu Wanzhen said with a smile.
"Yes, miss. This first one, the Zhan Mansion of the King of Qi has been repaired, and a Hanlin scholar has been invited to be Zhan Shi. Everyone said that if Lord Fang could give up his great future and submit to the affairs of the Qi Palace, the prince must be a great big man in order to get Lord Fang's loyalty. ”
Master Fang, Master of Hallym? Xu Wanzhen quickly went through it in her mind. This rumor is really not wrong, and I don't know what conditions King Qi promised to get Master Fang's allegiance.
"The second thing, it's been a few days in a row, the Princess's Mansion, the Qi Palace, and the Chu Palace's Mansion each held a banquet and invited many ladies and ladies, which was very lively."
Xu Wanzhen nodded secretly, this must have been instructed by Empress Cao, in order to calm the hearts of the people in the city. With the noble prince and princess taking the lead, Luoyang City, which has been silent for a long time, is about to be lively again.
Mrs. Zhuang naturally received the invitation, and sent someone to ask her if she wanted to participate.
But as soon as she doesn't like to socialize, she has to be looked at or sit or stand there, and she has to deal with it with her mind. It's not to invite her by name, she is happy to be at ease.
Second, after the incident of Princess Zhaoyang, she was 120,000 wary of these phoenixes and dragons. What they are thinking in their hearts and who they want to take advantage of is not visible on the surface. Empress Dowager Xiao likes her, she doesn't want to send it to the door and make ready-made chess pieces for others.
Mrs. Zhuang knew a little about her thoughts, so she didn't force it.
"The third piece," Qingluo raised a finger and said with a smile: "This is a strange thing, at the banquet of the Qi Palace, Miss Liu from the Pingguo Mansion somehow fell from the pavilion on the rockery, fortunately, Fan Zhuangyuan passed by below, and she was able to catch her." ”
"That's dangerous." Sang Zi covered his mouth and exclaimed.
Qingmai thought about it a little more, this matter was known all over the city, wouldn't Miss Liu's reputation be guaranteed?
"And then?" Xu Wanzhen asked. Since the last time I explicitly rejected Fan Bin in the Perfume Pavilion, I haven't seen him again, and Mrs. Zhu hasn't come to the door again.
There are so many things that have happened during this time, and when I hear his name again, it feels like a lifetime away. Thinking of his fiery eyes, Xu Wanzhen only hoped that he could forget about her, have a woman who truly loved him, and enter a happy marriage together.
The prince of Pingguo invited Fan Zhuangyuan to drink a meal of wine and said that he was thankful. But the guy from the drunken white building said that the two had a fight in the room, and all the tables and chairs in the house were smashed, and Liu Shizi lost hundreds of taels of silver. ”
Xu Wanzhen burst out laughing, this seems to be something that Liu Qiran can do.
remembered that the first time I saw Liu Qiran, it was on the road to Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs. At that time, in order to relieve himself, Fan Bin also confronted Liu Qiran.
But this matter is related to the reputation of my sister-in-law, and I don't know what Liu Qiran's plan is.
……
Songzhou, one of the ten states, silk spinning is particularly developed. The silk in the world is divided into eight grades, and the fourth grade and above are concentrated in Henan Province, with Songzhou as the most.
Starting from Luoyang, along the Tongji Canal to the east for more than ten days, we arrived at Songcheng, the capital of Songzhou.
Mama Tian got off the boat at the Songzhou wharf, looked at the bustling crowd on the wharf, found two porters to ask the direction of Qinghe's house, hired a green cloth sedan chair, followed by two porters carrying two loads of gifts, and went to He's house.
