Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Audience
The next day, Rushan and Starling took the contract of the fifth brother and went to the yamen, and the two of them went to the transfer of the documents together with Master Zhang. The clerk in the yamen looked at the starling's dejected appearance, and felt that this child was really pitiful, and he had to do such a big thing at a young age. Now that it's been messed up, seeing that the starling pressed his handprint, he gave the starling a copy of the paperwork, and kept a copy in the government. When they were far away, the clerk packed up his things and went to find Master Tian to eat and drink with a smile.
The door plaque on the gate of Liu's house was taken off, but it was not hung up newly, only a small sign was hung on a few side doors, the west side said Xu House, the east side of the north corner door hung a grandson house, and the south side inconspicuously hung a summer house.
According to Xiaoyu's meaning, Daoist Hong Fan invited Liu Sanniang's tablet from Liu's house to come out and enshrine it in the Taoist temple. It didn't take long for someone to say that they could often hear someone singing in Qingyiguan, which sounded like the top brand of Qin Yan Pavilion in the past - Miss Liu'er. So, some people say that Liu Er and Liu Sanniang were both killed by Su Dazhuang and Tian Erhu, and they became friends after their deaths and lived together in Qingyiguan. The story is made up with a nose and eyes, as if the man had seen it with his own eyes.
Not long after coming, it came out again: The owner of this new house has just moved into the new house a few days ago, and he has become a county official, and he has already taken office. Suddenly, it was rumored in the city that this house was really extremely prosperous.
Seeing that the fifteenth was coming, Daoist Hong Fan was anxious, and he had to urge the Su family and the Tian family to take medicine again. Xiaoyu called Fang Zhun to boil the medicine together, first cremated the lard, and then added yam juice, mixed some spices, mint and a lot of herbs that Fang Zhun didn't know, and slowly boiled it into a paste, but after trying it a few times, Xiaoyu said no.
Fang Zhun was so hot that he was sweating: "Xiaoyu, let's just give some medicine." ”
Xiaoyu shook her head with a small face: "How can this work, it must be an elixir." Otherwise, how could Daoist Hong Fan obediently offer the silver. ”
Fang Zhun wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly regretting it in his heart. Xiaoyu pondered for a long time, and then changed the method in the evening, first boiling the lard, and then adding other spices and herbal juices when it was cold. Xiaoyu wrote a few more recipes according to the different proportions of various medicinal materials, and Fang Zhun stirred helplessly for more than an hour, and then made five or six boxes of plaster. Xiaoyu picked a little bit with a small bamboo stick and put it on Fang Zhun's hand to try it, Fang Zhun said in surprise: "This is different from the previous time, it is cool and silky, and it is very comfortable." ”
Xiaoyu sighed and shook her head, and picked a little more from the box next to her. Fang Zhun said again: "This one is also cool and silky, very comfortable." Xiaoyu, it's good to look at this according to me, really, it's very comfortable. It must be an elixir..."Before the words fell, Fang Zhun suddenly couldn't help but wipe his hands and said, "Why is it so itchy." ”
Xiaoyu immediately raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly wiped some on his hand, Fang Zhun was a little more comfortable: "It's cool... It's so comfortable. ”
After waiting for a while, Fang Zhun was itching again and couldn't stand it, Xiaoyu was just about to apply the medicine, Fang Zhun was moved, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop her: "Xiaoyu, your medicine is not right, it was very comfortable when I first used it, it..." Fang Zhun suddenly realized, only then did he understand the usefulness of this medicine, and he couldn't help but scream, and said in his heart: "Su Dazhuang, Tian Erhu, this time I will pit you." ”
Xiaoyu kept this box, changed the recipe and asked Fang Zhun to boil two boxes. This time, Fang Zhun refused to try the medicine, so he deceived Chen Peng to come over, Chen Peng didn't know that there was fraud: "This thing smells very sweet, like rouge used by women, can it really cure diseases?"
"Hey, Lao Fang, don't say it, it's really cool and comfortable, and it must be comfortable to use this summer. After a while, Chen Peng was itching uncomfortably, although he didn't wake up, but when he thought that this was Xiaoyu's medicine, he didn't dare to use it anymore. After Xiaoyu said the trick, Chen Peng took a stick and chased after Fang Zhun for a good beating. Fortunately, this itch is so strong that it will fade after enduring it for an hour and a half.
Waiting for the fourteenth, early in the morning, Grandma Su brought the maid over to get the medicine, but it was not the girl from earlier, and Hong Fan Daochang didn't care: "Tonight, when I started to apply the medicine, it's too early, it's not too late, the first time I prepared this medicine, the medicinal materials are not easy to get, I only have so much, and then it's gone." Let Uncle Su and Second Master Tian save a little, it's best for the two of them to wipe each other, otherwise they will have to itch with the medicine, which can be regarded as punishment. ”
The big girl trembled with fright when she heard this, and then she looked at Grandma Su and responded: "Yes!"
Hong Fan had no choice but to ask her to donate some sesame oil money: "The good woman might as well try to reduce the rent of the farm below, and put some people in the house to accumulate some merit." After all, you are not bad for this, but you can't see any good at this time, and after a long time, it is also a blessing in the next life. ”
Xiaoyu, although Xu Liangqi and Sun Haoran moved into the new house, there were no people in the huge mansion, Xiaoyu pondered the steward that Zhou Zhen promised, so he asked the starling brother to write a post to Zhou Zhen and handed it to the gatekeeper of the Shizi Mansion, and after a while, the porter replied: "Tomorrow, you will come again." ”
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiaoyu went to the Shizi Mansion with Starling and Rushan.
Xiao Fuyuan personally came to guide the way, and Xiao Yu asked with a smile: "You three sons have always been good?"
Fuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "My son-in-law went out to do something for the prince, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
Xiaoyu originally had the gentle and unpredictable smile of the prince on his face, and when he heard this, he paused and tilted his head to look at Fuyuan. Fuyuan admired Xiaoyu so much, and when he saw her, he seemed a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday, it was the prince who left your prayer post, and today we will go to see the prince, it's all the same." ”
Xiaoyu sighed and thought: "How can this be the same, how beautiful your son-in-law is, it makes people happy when they look at it." Your son, alas, does not mean that he is bad. You see, I'm not learning from him. Xiaoyu was a little disappointed in her heart: "What I did in front of me, although the means are not very bright, but the goal has been achieved, I originally wanted to show off with your son-in-law, but now I can't look at it." ”
I walked through the hanging flower door, but it was not in the direction of the study. Xiaoyu felt a little unsteady in her heart: "What, don't you go to the study today?"
Fuyuan pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and Xiaoyu saw that his expression was wrong and hurriedly stopped: "We are all lifelong friends, you can say whatever you want, and make people laugh." ”
Fuyuan looked at the starling brother and Rushan and said: "It's also a coincidence, the peach blossoms in the house are blooming today, don't you borrow two stewards from my son-in-law, the princess came to enjoy the flowers today, and brought people together." ”
Xiaoyu put these few sentences together and thought about it: "Is that all?"
Fuyuan said with a smile: "The prince invites you to enjoy the flowers with the eighth master and the second master of Rushan." ”
Xiaoyu wanted to run away, but before she moved, Fuyuan took a step forward: "You have seen that the concierge has been informed, in fact, the princess is very kind." ”
The corners of Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and her heart said: "Every time I play a black hand, I look kinder than usual. The harder you are, the kinder you are. It's just that it's too late to run now, Xiaoyu shook his head and thought: "Sure enough, there is nothing cheap in the world, you just had a thought to pit someone's son, and the other person's mother came." ”
"Fuyuan, how good it is for you to sue us yesterday, as soon as we come, we will sweep the Yaxing of the prince and the princess to enjoy the flowers. I don't know if there are any rules for seeing the princess. Xiaoyu looked at her brother and nephew, and her heart beat a drum. "You have to tell us about the etiquette. ”
Fuyuan hesitated: "It's nothing, it's just a big bow to kneel." The princess is very kind and never embarrassed. ”
Xiao Yu looked at his stumbling appearance and knew if he had said anything: "Starling, you come to ask him." I give you a look. ”
Fuyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's really nothing." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and got together with the two starlings and muttered quietly.
Starling blushed and called Rushan again, and muttered for a long time.
Xiaoyu thought to herself: "Don't you need me to go in." Although the starling brother is not as stable as the fifth brother, he is also very talented in literary style. ”
After the starling finished talking to Rushan, he beckoned Xiaoyu and whispered: "I heard that there are a few eunuchs waiting in front of Princess Yi, and she looks, well, it's not the same as ordinary people, don't stare at others when you come." ”
Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "What big deal did I say, it turned out to be this." I accompanied my mother to Xingwang's house to play earlier. Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but glance at Fuyuan, and I felt a little sorry for Fuyuan in my heart, but there was nothing unusual on my face.
Fuyuan looked at her appearance but thought: "Xu is still young, listening to them shouting, it seems to be a girl walking around in men's clothes, and I don't know what is going on." ”
This time was very different from the previous time, Fuyuan led them through a long corridor, and several people were half-hung and in no mood to look around, so they all walked silently. The prince must not like flowers and plants, and most of the evergreen shrubs are planted on both sides of the corridor, and occasionally a few rhododendrons are planted, and there are also flower buds at this time. After walking for a long time, Fu Yuan said, "There is the flower hall in front." ”
Xiaoyu nodded politely and gently, thinking, "It's a shame that there are starlings and Rushan to accompany me, and there are finally two brave ones." ”
Fu Yuan entered the flower hall to report, and after a while, a middle-aged man came out, holding a floating dust in his hand, and his voice was soft and hoarse, and it was indescribably weird: "These are the sons of the Xia family." ”
The starling was pushed to the middle by Xiaoyu, and at this time he had to bite the bullet and say, "Don't dare." A few country boys. ”
The middle-aged man said, "Our family says that it is a son, and it is a son." ”
Xiaoyu thought to herself that this was a eunuch, and she really had a great temper.
When the starling heard this, he was not polite, and the eunuch continued: "When I meet the princess, I want to make a big salute, do you know how to salute?"
"I don't know!" said the starling brother hurriedly according to Xiaoyu's explanation.
The eunuch looked at them impatiently, but there was nothing he could do but patiently teach them to salute. After teaching for half an hour, these three people either forgot to kneel, or I forgot to kowtow, and bumped into each other several times, and I was so busy that I was sweating profusely.
Either this voice was loud or the other one was slow to speak, and the eunuch was so angry that he couldn't do it, and scolded them with a sharp voice.
Xiaoyu looked at the eunuch apologetically, thinking to herself, "If the princess is impatient, will she go home first?" ”
This orthodox head was full of anger, and the princess over there had already sent someone to shout: "Wenshan, what are you doing here? The princess is waiting to see someone? You also know the princess..." The man wanted to say, but he also slipped out, but in the end he couldn't help but change his words: "There are many other things." ”
The man named Wen Shan couldn't do it, so he waved his hand angrily and said, "Don't forget what I just taught you later." ”R1152
