Chapter 084: Planning
In order to let Mrs. An see Mulan as soon as possible, Hongyu hurried almost day and night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Mulan has never been in a car for such a long time, and she is so sore that she is bumped, and she is really tired these days.
When I arrived in the meditation room, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Shin Shi left and right to ask Ruixi to dig out of the bed and stuff it into the carriage in a daze.
The carriage of the Duke of Xie was much more comfortable than the ordinary carriage that Hongyu had chosen to avoid obscurity, with spacious seats, thick mattresses on top, and a stove and incense burner. Mulan got into the car and fell headlong and continued to sleep.
Woken up by Ruixi again, the carriage had stopped outside the hanging flower gate of the Guogong Mansion.
The days are short in February, and the night falls just after the end of the unitary hour. Mulan asked Ruixi to help her get out of the car, and looked around in all directions, only to see the shadows of the trees, the lights and stars, and the overlapping roofs, which made her feel like she was in a garden park.
After looking at it, Mrs. An also got out of the carriage in front of her with Hongyu's hand, Xu choked on the wind, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed one after another.
Hongyu hurriedly stroked her back, "Madame, but the old problem has been committed again?"
"It's okay. Mrs. An waved her hand gently, "I have been reunited with Master Jinghui for too long, and I have been talking all night for several days in a row, so it is inevitable that I will be a little in good spirits, and I will be fine if I make up for my sleep."
I have to enter the palace tomorrow, I need to rest early, and I won't eat with Mulan tonight. lest I have a bad appetite and wear it down to her appetite. ”
"Yes. "Hongyu deserves it," I asked someone to put dinner on the 'Yu Ting Pavilion'. ”
Mrs. An nodded, didn't look at Mulan, and entered the Hanging Flower Gate surrounded by a group of people.
Mulan was led into Yu Ting Pavilion by Ruixi, and when she saw the big bed that was soft and tidy, she lay down as if she had never slept in her life.
Ruixi didn't hold her, then squatted on the side of the bed and said softly: "Girl, the fragrant soup has been prepared, the slave maid will wait for you to bathe and change your clothes first." ”
Mulan didn't want to open her eyes, and said vaguely in her mouth: "Can I not Mu?"
"The girl must be tired after a bumpy ride in the car, so it is good to take a bath to relieve her fatigue. The slave also learned a few hand massage skills from Aunt Hong to help you relax your muscles and bones, so that you don't get up sore tomorrow morning. Rui Xi coaxed and persuaded Mulan to pull her up from the bed.
A large wooden barrel about half a person high was propped up in the clean bath room separated by the screen, steaming hot, and many kinds of pancreas, bath beans and balms were placed on the table next to it.
Four little girls dressed in the same clothes were separated from each other, some were holding a scoop, some were holding a tray, and two were empty-handed. Seeing Mulan come in, they each bent their knees and came forward, one to help her loosen her clothes, and the other to help her untie her hair.
Although Mulan was not used to being served, she was still sleepy, and she was too lazy to move, so she opened her arms and was at the mercy of them.
The body was completely immersed in the boiling hot water, and every pore opened with joy. A few girls gathered around her and helped her wash her hair and wipe her body, moving lightly and quickly.
How many years have I not taken a decent hot bath comfortably, Mulan closed her eyes quite enjoyably, and for the first time felt that it was not bad to be the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion.
After washing the tub, I dried my body, changed into loose clothes, and lay down on the soft chair, Ruixi helped her massage and massage, and several little girls took dry towels to wipe her hair in turn.
Ruixi Tuina's technique is quite good, the force is not light or heavy, kneading and pressing, every stroke is in place. When the massage is finished, the tiredness and soreness on the body are swept away.
Hongyu personally brought someone to bring dinner, because Mulan used some thought for the first time in the house. There are four kinds of porridge soup, eight kinds of pastries, and four kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, all of which are mainly light and easy to restrain themselves.
"I don't know what the girls like, so I took it upon myself to tell them to do a few things. The girl tasted it, and if it didn't suit her taste, she sent someone to tell me that I had it remade on the stove.
I have to go back to serve the old lady and go to bed, so I won't disturb the girl's meal. ”
Hongyu smiled at Mu Lan, turned her head and changed her face to a serious face, "You are so good at serving the girl, you must not be slacking off in the slightest." ”
After mentioning a few girls, he led a group of maids out of the house.
Mulan looked at the table full of food, and remembered that the chili woman and the others were still drinking wild vegetable soup on the island without even rice grains, and her heart was quite uncomfortable.
Rui Xi saw that she didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, and bent down and asked respectfully, "The girl has no appetite?"
"It's not. Mulan gathered her thoughts and smiled at her, "I saw how worried I was, I couldn't finish it alone." Come on, come on, sit down and eat together. ”
"Girl, this is unacceptable. Ruixi hurriedly said, "You are the master, the slaves and maids are subordinates, and it is not proper to eat at the same table." ”
Mulan saw her frightened expression, and the four little girls were also full of panic, knowing that they couldn't eat if they were forced to sit down, so they didn't force it.
Pick up the chopsticks, taste some of everything, and your stomach will be almost full. Tell Ruixi to remove the table and take out the food and distribute it to everyone. After sending everyone out, he sat in front of the window, looking out at the dark night and planning his own future.
Hongyu guessed correctly, the reason why she agreed to go back to the Jieguo Mansion with Hongyu was because she didn't have a choice, and secondly, because of the mysterious person who sent the letter.
She didn't know what that person was from, why he knew everything about her situation, and why he did everything possible to pull her into the Jieguo Mansion. If it is well-intentioned, why do you hide your head and show your tail and dare not reveal your true identity?
If it is malicious, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, she has neither power nor power, and she is really unable to guard against it. It's better to take the plan and take one step at a time. A fox's tail is always exposed, doesn't it?
In addition to these two reasons, she also wants to use the power of the Guogong Mansion to return to Shouzhen Island. As the only descendant of the Guogong Mansion, the manpower, material and financial resources are ready-made, everything is ready, and only the compass is owed.
She thought about it carefully, most of the compass was used in war, and it was not something that ordinary people could hold, and even if Shopkeeper Han knew, he might not be able to help her get it.
Guogongfu is different, she believes that with the status and role of the Xie family in the eyes of the new emperor, it is not difficult to get a compass. In the future, it is not a problem to create a new identity and properly place the chili woman.
Her goal is clear, and she will be happy when she comes. What we have to do now is to adapt to our identity and strive to be the eldest lady of the Jieguo Mansion.
At the same time, Mrs. An was also lying on the bed thinking about the matter of tomorrow's face.
Hongyu knew what she was thinking when she saw her expression, and asked softly, "Madame, have you thought about it, what kind of identity will you put on the girl when you see the saint tomorrow?"
