308: Heart
Jiayuzhai's little servant Chang Lu came in and reported: "Lord, Xiting Hou came with his wife to meet the prince and princess. ”
The Marquis of Xiting is He Wenxin, the son of the lord of Shuyang, who inherited the title of the old Marquis of Xiting not long ago, and is now the youngest Marquis in Kyoto.
Everyone stood up one after another when they heard this, Qi Linyu asked Chang Lu to invite someone in, and greeted Cao Dongting and Meng Yi: "It's not an outsider, I guess I heard about the victims in Handzhou and rushed over." ”
Mei Shi, who was sitting under Meng Yi, and Ye Xiaolian, who was under Cao Dongting, stood up together, and Mei said: "It's better to avoid the people and Sister Ye for the time being. Mei Shi looked at Shen Qihuan: "When I came, my aunt prepared a gift for the princess, why don't you ask the princess to move and go to Mozhuxuan with the people and Sister Ye to sit down?"
The corners of Shen Qihuan's lips twitched slightly, "Okay!"
looked at Qi Linyu and showed a faint and warm smile, like a good spring in March.
Qi Linyu smiled and instructed Qiu Xiao: "Put on the cloak for the princess." ”
Qiu Xiao smiled on her lips, thinking that their prince was acting too well, although even Qiu Xiao felt that the princess's physique wearing a cloak was a bit too exaggerated.
When He Wenxin walked into the courtyard with Chen Peixin, he happened to see three women coming out of the house, although He Wenxin was not there at the recognition ceremony just now, he didn't know any of these three people, but from the temperament point of view, He Wenxin still accurately bowed in the direction of Shen Qihuan.
"He Wenxin has seen the princess. Chen Peixin behind him also saluted.
Shen Que returned the salute, "Changting Hou, please." When he looked at Chen Peixin, his heart lit up, and he suddenly said: "Mrs. Changtinghou, it's better to go to Mozhuxuan to sit down with the concubine." ”
There are outsiders, even if Mei and Ye Xiaolian have something to say, they will consider exporting it.
Chen Peixin was naturally happy to go, so the group of four walked towards Mozhuxuan in the southwest corner of Jiayuzhai.
"At that time, the prince wanted to repair the Jiayu Zhai, and one hundred and seventy-seven merchants sent those flowers and elegant trees and antique treasures to Kyoto. "Mei Shi was talking all the way, she was a long-sleeved woman who was good at dancing, and every gesture seemed to be just right. At that time, the women did not understand the difficulty of picking things, and now they understand that the heritage of the princely and noble house is not decorated at all, just look at the row of garden trees, there are not decades and more than ten years, this garden full of flowers and plants, just pick out the same, can decorate the flower hall. ”
Ye Xiaolian echoed, "The nobles of Kyoto, how can they be compared with the Jing'an Palace, just like the corridor lamps that have just come all the way, not to mention the more than 100 hanging outside, even if they can hang one or two, they are all considered rich and noble." ”
For such a topic, Shen Qihuan is completely incapable of taking over, she has just been married for a day, and the novelty is not less than these people, but she has to put on a master's posture, which is too embarrassing for her.
turned his head sideways, saw Chen Peixin, who had been quiet, and thought to himself, what a powerful character her sister is, and her own sister is actually a person who has not been deeply involved in the world.
When he was about to arrive at Mozhuxuan, a few little girls were holding a pole and carrying something under the tree, Chang Lu saw it and hurriedly walked over and scolded: "Presumptuous, the princess is still waiting when she comes?"
The little girls were so frightened that they almost threw the bamboo pole out, and they knelt on the ground to ask for mercy, "Damn it, there is a nest of swallows on the tree, it's too noisy, Sister Xia ordered me to take off the bird's nest and move it somewhere." ”
Shen Quehuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes looked in the direction of the depths of the branches, and sure enough, he saw a nest, which had been poked by a bamboo pole.
Chen Peixin's voice came softly from behind him: "Princess, can you give that nest of chicks to the courtiers." ”
When she said this, her eyes were staring straight into the trees, full of pity.
"No, I can't. Shen Qihuan also looked at the depths of the branches, and the words that made the three women beside her stunned, not understanding why she would refuse so simply.
Chen Peixin just opened his mouth out of unbearability, but now that he has crossed the border, he hurriedly apologized: "It's the courtiers who are rude." ”
Shen Quehuan smiled at her clearly, "If the bird's nest is given to you, where will the mother swallow go to find her child?"
Chen Peixin couldn't help but look up in surprise, but saw Shen Quehuan pacing towards the tree, untying the cloak as he walked, and handed it to Qiu Xiao beside him.
Chang Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Princess, it's the villain's poor discipline, I hope the princess will forgive her sins." ”
Shen Quehuan didn't say much, and said to a maid kneeling on the ground, "Untie your head rope and give it to me." ”
“…… Slave...... Slave?" The little maid raised her head in a hurry, but was awakened by Chang Lu's eye knife, and untied the head rope with all hands and feet. Both hands were handed to Shen Qihuan.
Shen Que looked up at it for a while, then suddenly jumped up, borrowed her feet on the treetops, and half-squatted directly on the branches, the nest of chicks was within reach, she leaned up, and awkwardly tinkered on the edge of the bird's nest.
The people down there were all gasping.
Chang Lu ran to the bottom of the tree with a spirit, making a gesture of holding his hands together, as if he was afraid that the princess would fall from the tree.
Qiu Xiao dragged him and motioned to him with his eyes, "Don't make a fuss"
Among Mei and the others, only Ye Xiaolian had seen Shen Qihuan's true skills, but she was also stunned by her sudden movements, Mei's eyes flickered, and her expression became a little complicated.
Chen Peixin was a little stupid, the branches were blown by the wind, the autumn leaves brushed over her shoulders, and a sentence that her sister said to her before marriage suddenly appeared in her mind: "Except for Shen Qihuan, no one else in the Shen family has to pay attention to it." ”
She had heard some things about Shen Qihuan before, but faint speculation, hearsay, and real seeing were completely different.
Shen Quehuan repaired the bird's nest with a head rope and jumped directly from the branch, Chang Lu was scared half to death, and when Shen Quehuan jumped, he fell to the ground, Shen Quehuan pulled him up with a smile, and said with concern: "You will get used to it in two days." ”
Chang Lu: "......"
Shen Qihuan patted the soil on his hands, Qiu Xiao helped tidy up his clothes, and said to the kneeling maid on the ground: "The heart is calm and the ears are clear, you feel noisy, go back and copy the Heart Sutra ten times." ”
The little maids were already scared silly, and Nono said "yes".
Shen Qihuan didn't mention the culprit who ordered them to come, "Miss Yixia", Shen Qihuan thought to herself, it's only been a day since she got married, and she is really right with this Yixia.
When they sat down in Mozhuxuan, the little maids walked in, cleaning their hands with water soaked in osmanthus flowers, and the maids in different costumes walked in with trays, but the jujube and cinnamon mentioned before were placed on it. There are also maids who bring snacks, platters, fruits and other snacks, which are endless.
After being busy for a while, there were three maids in bamboo leaf blue costumes left in the flower hall to serve, and the rest of the people retreated in an orderly manner, Qiu Xiao told Shen Qihuan that the maid in brown clothes was second-class, and only the second-class maid in Jiayuzhai wore bamboo leaf blue.
