Chapter 164: Intentions
Chapter 164 Intentions
Li Xiaonuan nodded, the third young lady was so timid that a few third-class girls in the main courtyard could talk about her in such a tone, so they had to be extremely quiet.
Grandma Sun moved forward and whispered:
"The princess is a ...... It's not a big deal to worry about small things, now all the big and small things in this house are in charge of Mama Qiu, this Mama Qiu was originally the princess's dowry girl, I heard, and Mama Zhou in our house, and so many relatives, what kind of relatives, I haven't inquired yet, go back, I'll find a proper person to go back to our house to inquire. ”
Li Xiaonuan frowned slightly, nodded, and Grandma Sun continued in a low voice:
"It's not a big deal, it's all from the Zhenning Marquis Mansion, and you can more or less get so many relatives. There are also two housekeepers in the house, one surnamed Zou, the one who just sent the box in, is the daughter-in-law of the four stewards in the house, who was on an errand in the old lady's courtyard, I heard that she got along very well with Mama Qiu, and there is a surname Tian, who is the daughter-in-law of the princess of the palace, Ping'an was the prince's little servant, who grew up with the prince, Mama Tian's father was the general of the palace, and the one who died in the battle was the old family in the house. The four big girls around the princess, Chuncao, Xia He, Qiu Gui, and Dongmei, led by Chuncao, have all seen the young lady. ”
Li Xiaonuan nodded, Grandma Sun frowned, looked at Li Xiaonuan and continued:
"In Qingjian Courtyard, it has always been a big girl named Lirui, in the spring of the previous year, I don't know where to provoke the master, and the girl in the courtyard together, a brain out, after that, Qingjian Courtyard is only a small maid waiting, and now the little maid Nanhai next to the prince is in charge, this pear Rui ......"
Mama Sun looked at Li Xiaonuan cautiously and said in a low voice:
"I heard that I was born very well, the same age as my grandfather, since I was eleven or twelve years old, I have been waiting for my lord in Qingjian Courtyard, and I don't know how many girls I have changed, so she is the only one who has waited all the way, and now she is still living in Yihong Pavilion."
Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes slightly, nodded slowly, and Grandma Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up slightly, and said with a smile:
"I heard this today, this house is better than ours...... There are many things and many people. ”
"Mama is bothered, and there is no hurry, let's inquire slowly, the days to come will be long."
Li Xiaonuan said with a smile, Grandma Sun nodded with a smile on her face, Li Xiaonuan turned her head to look at her, and commanded in a low voice:
"Tomorrow, you carefully inquire about your preferences, what you like to eat, what you don't eat, what color you like, what habits you usually have, what taboos you have, the finer the better."
Mama Sun raised her eyebrows, nodded with a smile, gently stroked Li Xiaonuan's sideburns, and said in a low voice:
"When the old ancestor was here, he often said that the young lady was a smart person."
Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile and did not answer. The two gossiped for a while, Cheng Ke changed into a silver-white robe, wet his hair, turned out, and a little girl held a stack of big cotton handkerchiefs and followed cautiously.
Mama Sun hurriedly got up and stepped aside, Li Xiaonuan got off the bed, Cheng Ke stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xiaonuan, sat cross-legged on the couch with a smile, pointed to his hair and commanded:
"You can dry my hair."
Li Xiaonuan stood behind Cheng Ke, sighed secretly, took the cotton handkerchief in the little girl's hand, sat sideways behind Cheng Ke, and slowly twisted his hair.
After changing a few handkerchiefs, wringing out his hair, and taking a comb to make it transparent, Li Xiaonuan held his hands full of hair in distress, and said in a low voice:
"Let the jade buckle give you a twist, I won't tie my hair."
Cheng Ke turned his head to look at her with a smile in his eyes, nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"Go back and learn, those clumsy girls......"
"Hmm."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly agreed, interrupted Cheng Ke's words, stood up, beckoned the jade buckle to come over and curled Cheng Ke's hair, and wrapped it with a jasper hairpin.
Cheng Ke cleaned up, it was already the beginning of the unitary period, the kitchen brought dinner in, Li Xiaonuan first picked up the cup of black plum soup, handed it to Cheng Ke, and said with a smile:
"Mother is afraid that you will be drunk and hurt yourself, just let someone send some black plum and mulberry fruit over, there are candied fruits, there are also raw fruits, I am afraid that the master will be impatient to eat candied fruit, so I let the kitchen stew this black plum soup, the master is eating candied fruit? Or drink this soup? ”
Cheng Ke looked at the soup in Li Xiaonuan's hand and said with a smile:
"I don't need it, I just drank two glasses of rice wine, and even the smell of wine is dissipated at this time, what else do you want these things for?"
Li Xiaonuan smiled and held the soup, without the intention of putting it down, and said gently:
"It's a mother's heart."
Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan, looked down at the soup cup in her hand, sighed, reached out to take it, and barely drank two sips, Li Xiaonuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Li Xiaonuan sat sideways on the edge of the couch, took the Nanmu chopsticks served by the cicada wings, and looked at Cheng Ke intently while eating slowly.
Cheng Ke was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, looked up at her, and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong with you? Look at me like this, what are you doing? ”
"Well, I'm looking to see if you eat well."
Li Xiaonuan smiled and said in a low and vague voice, Cheng Ke laughed, put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said gently:
"The rules of the house, food is silent, and it's not good...... Looking around, the mother next to her is fine, this one is the most exquisite. ”
Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes, nodded, lowered her head and slowly counted the rice grains and ate the japonica rice in the bowl.
Cheng Ke picked up the chopsticks, looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was eating with his head hanging and his eyebrows lowered, his heart was sour and uneasy, he thought about it, put down the chopsticks, and said in a low voice:
"I said that...... It's my mother's rule, let's two of us in one place, you just feel free. ”
"It's the same rule when I'm at home, I don't ...... I don't know what you like to eat, what you don't like to eat, I'm afraid you won't eat well. ”
Li Xiaonuan said in a low voice, Cheng Ke's eyes lit up and he smiled, and said patiently:
"I don't eat fish, it's too fishy, I don't eat offal, it's too dirty, I don't eat radish, celery, lotus root, and some, I can't remember, don't worry, everyone in the kitchen knows that they won't serve these things, and as for what they like, they don't particularly like it."
Li Xiaonuan raised her eyes to look at him, smiled and nodded, no longer spoke, and only motioned for Cheng Ke to eat.
The two ate, and Li Xiaonuan took the tea from the little girl and sent it to Cheng Ke in front of him.
Outside the door, Yu Kou reported in, holding the Huanghuali carved box that was only one foot square, and bent his knees to report:
"Back to the master, young lady, this is sent by Luo Chuan, saying that it is something that the master wants."
Cheng Ke straightened up and hurriedly beckoned:
"Put it on"
The jade buckle carefully put the box on the table, bent his knees and retreated, Cheng Ke called Li Xiaonuan over, opened the box, and took the hairpins, rings, step rocks, bracelets, hairpins and other jewelry inside one by one, and filled the couch with a smile:
"These are all things I bought one by one, and they are all for you."
Li Xiaonuan blinked her eyes, looked at the head jewelry shining with various colors in front of her, her heart moved slightly, as if she remembered something, pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly:
"I like it...... Buy these things ......"
Cheng Ke was stunned, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan smiled even more, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, turned around, and shrugged his shoulders with laughter, Cheng Ke was stunned for a long time, suddenly reacted, his face was red, raised his hand and pointed at Li Xiaonuan's forehead, and nodded hatefully for a long time before he spoke,
"Where do you think of it again? How can you ......"
Li Xiaonuan tried her best to hold back a smile, and while collecting the jewelry in the box, she explained seriously:
"I mean, everything you like is a good thing, and what you like, I like it too, I like it very much."
Cheng Ke hated Li Xiaonuan, gritted his teeth and said:
"Hmph, wait a minute, let's settle the account and let you know...... Ye is not what you think...... Hmph"
Li Xiaonuan couldn't help laughing, nodded again and again, closed the box, ordered the jade buckle to be put in, turned his head, lowered his eyes, and didn't look at Cheng Ke, and said with a smile on his face:
"I see that the master brought the paperwork in, I'll go take a bath first, and let Zhuqing wait for you to read the paperwork, okay?"
"Hmm."
Cheng Ke hummed and agreed, Li Xiaonuan bent his knees and retreated, turned into the clean room, soaked in hot water, and couldn't stop laughing.
Li Xiaonuan soaked until the water was cold, and then slowly got out of the bucket, slowly wrung his hair, slowly changed his clothes, and slowly walked out of the clean room.
Cheng Ke had already moved from the wing room into the inner room, crooked on the Luohan bed, wrinkling his brows, as if looking at the documents carefully, Li Xiaonuan stood at the door of the clean room, hesitated slightly, and walked lightly to the warm pavilion outside, Cheng Ke put down the paperwork in his hand, looked at Li Xiaonuan and asked:
"Where are you going?"
Li Xiaonuan paused, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile:
"I'll go outside and do some needlework in the pavilion, so as not to disturb you here."
Cheng Ke put away the paperwork in his hand, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said slowly:
"It's not early, let's rest."
Li Xiaonuan was stunned, and said with a smile:
"Master rest first, I'll go outside to take a look, this is worth the night or something, and I can't be negligent."
Cheng Ke squinted at Li Xiaonuan, raised his eyebrows, and nodded slowly, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly walked out of the house, turned out of the warm pavilion, hung his head and stood at the door of the warm pavilion for a while, before calling Zhu Qing over and commanding in a low voice:
"You went to the main courtyard in person, reported to the princess, and said that the master drank a small half cup of black plum soup, and ate a bowl of japonica rice for dinner, and ate it well, and he has stopped at this time."
Zhu Qing frowned slightly, Li Xiaonuan sighed softly, pushed her out, and said in a low voice:
"In the eyes of the princess, she is still a child, go ahead, if you ask anything again, answer carefully, so as not to worry the princess."
Zhu Qing smiled and nodded,
"Don't worry, young lady, I know."
Li Xiaonuan watched Zhu Qing carrying a lantern through the silk curtain, and walked out of the hanging flower door along the verandah, and turned around and couldn't see it, before he returned to the inner room
