Chapter Seventy-Three: A Clever Girl Makes a Friend and a Noble Son-in-law
The green silk is finely pulled back to the heart bun, the long black hair hangs down at the back of the head, tied with a light blue tulle scarf, the small jade earlobes are worn with two golden lilacs, the fragrant plum finch diamond pattern dark flower silk on the half arm is like water waves lightly, and the pomegranate skirt is embroidered with delicate mandarin ducks and daylilies lifelike, which is fascinating.
The woman still took a self-portrait in the mirror, picked up a red sideburns and compared it to the bun.
Qinglian came in from the outside with the curtain lifted, and when she saw the beautiful woman in the mirror, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but smile.
He Xuan heard the movement, and saw Qinglian leaning against the door frame and smiling coquettishly through the Luan mirror, and couldn't help but sneer: "Just hide there and don't make a sound, who are you going to scare in the blue sky and daylight?" ”
Qinglian bit her lip and walked into the house, and quipped: "Sister is dressed so handsome, who do you want to meet?" ”
He Xuan returned the silk flowers and hairpins on the table to the makeup box one by one, stood up and straightened the corners of his clothes, and said casually: "It's just according to Gege's orders, I'm afraid I'll lose my dignity." ”
Qinglian pretended to sigh: "That being the case, then the Han Gongzi I worked so hard to hear from Cheng Pei...... ...... I don't think my sister wants to know anymore......" She deliberately lengthened her tone, while peeking at He Xuan's expression, seeing that there was a faint trace of anxiety on her face, she simply sat down in front of the mirror and took a lever to comb her hair.
On August 25th, the capital was restored and there was a big earthquake, this time, almost half of the people in the city have lost their family background, and the victims of Zhili, Shandong, and Shaanxi have also come in a steady stream, and there are many people who have listened to the letter of the disaster victims who have passed on ten or ten hundreds, and they all know that the porridge shed of Niu Colu's family is generous and good, and from time to time they also give up steamed buns, and there is a long queue in front of the porridge shed.
That Han Qiwen had excellent mental arithmetic, and in order to repay the kindness of Niu Colu's family, he helped take care of the accounts in the porridge shed, and he was familiar with Cheng Pei.
He Xuan was anxious, and he couldn't get down and down, the two were deadlocked for a while, in the end, it was Qinglian who broke the gong first, and then said with a smile: "That woman has been rescued, I heard Doctor Bai say that the situation is very dangerous, but she has lost too much blood and needs some good supplements to make up for it." ”
He Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, and said with his bare hand around the tassel on the corner of his clothes: "Qian'er Gege rewarded me with some blood swallows, if you are free, can you send it to her for me?" ”
Qinglian was originally a playful character, this son will have a lifelong dependence, seeing her affectionate appearance, she couldn't help but joke with her: "Blood swallow is a good thing, and don't want to taste it when the idler is in good years, as the saying goes, this is useless, my sister is so gracious, can she have a name?" ”
He Xuan said: "Gege rewarded, I am a little unaccustomed to it, and now I am in the disaster, it is a pity to smash it, if I take it out to save people, it is also a merit." ”
Qinglian nodded to herself, and said in a similar way: "I heard Cheng Pei say that many people outside are seriously ill, and I only told him what my sister said, so that he could only be rewarded for being old and infirm, so as to fulfill his sister's merits." ”
He Xuan's face showed a look of urgency: "This thing is enough to reward a few." ”
Qinglian felt more and more interesting, crooked on the kang and giggled, and Xuan knew that she was clearly joking with herself, so she scratched the itchy flesh on her waist and said, "Little hoof, you learn so badly, look at me and I won't beat you." ”
The two sisters joked for a while, only to hear a little maid outside say, "Sister Hexuan, Gege is looking for you." ”
The two of them straightened their clothes and went to see Rong Yue, but Qinglian secretly paid attention, the scholar was also a talent, if he could really match Hexuan with him, it would be a good thing.
She thought about her thoughts, entered the bright room, and saw that there was a vermilion lacquer box with black gold corners in the room, and Rong Yue was personally putting a jade cabbage on the top of the cabinet into the carved nanmu box, and pressed it on the top of the box.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both knew that now the victims of the disaster in Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaoning, Shandong, and Henan were swarming like locusts, and many people who were looking for the name of Niu Colu's family came to the porridge shed to eat porridge and ask for medicine.
No matter how rich Rong Yue's dowry is, in comparison, it also seems to be a drop in the bucket, and now seeing that the master wants to be something again, He Xuan can't bear it: "Master, your existing gold, silver, and silver tickets have been taken by you to buy food and medicinal materials, and only a few days ago I asked someone to carry two boxes of jade, these are all left to you by the old lady and the queen's mother, many of them are good things that have been over the years, once they are sold, you can't buy them back if you want to buy them in the future." ”
Rong Yue's expression was indifferent: "It's okay, just take it." ”
He Xuan was silent, and Chun Zao persuaded softly: "Master, we all know that you are benevolent and benevolent, but in the final analysis, you must always do what you can." ”
Rong Yue stood up and walked to the rhombic window, the sunlight was cut by the window hole and sprinkled on her tender white face, making her look more and more quiet and dusty.
"I naturally know your kindness," Rong Yue slightly opened her lips: "People outside say that the Niu Co Lu family killed a human life, and now I want these people to know that my Niu Co Lu family has also saved thousands of lives." ”
She said and covered the box and raised her hand slightly.
He Xuan stopped talking, Chong Qinglian nodded slightly, and the latter turned around and went out, ready to call the two mothers-in-law to move the boxes.
As soon as he went out, he suddenly saw Cheng Pei running in, his whole face was full of joy, and he said when he entered the door: "Gege, we have food." ”
Everyone in the room was surprised, and Rong Yue asked, "What did you say?" ”
Cheng Pei took the tea bowl handed by Qinglian, drank a few sips of water in a row, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Nalan Mansion just sent ten carts of grain, and it was the steward of Nalan Mansion who escorted the car, and the steward passed on Mrs. Nalan's words, originally the Nalan family should also open a porridge shed to give porridge, but Mrs. Nalan is not in good spirits this time, and there are many things in the house, so the right to hand it over to us Gege." ”
Rong Yue nodded, a smile bloomed on her face, and she nodded again and again: "Okay." You yourself have brought people over to settle down," and added: "All the grain is to be recorded one by one, and someone will sign it, so as not to be exploited by people with ulterior motives." ”
After that, he looked at Qinglian with a smile, and ordered with a smile: "You go and get Saqima and Aiwowo, wrap them carefully, and wrap them for Cheng Pei on the road, it's hard for him to have lunch when he arrives here." ”
Qinglian said shyly: "He is doing things for Gege, it should be like this, who dares to say that he has suffered hardship." ”
Rong Yue shook her head helplessly and smiled: "You are fine for the rest of the night, so you simply took the car together and went to the porridge shed to see the situation, saying that there are more and more victims?" Besides, go and see that the tents they purchased are all strong and easy to use, and they will have to hold on for some time, a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cold, so they should prepare more quilts to send. ”
"Gege is the heart of a bodhisattva in the end." Qinglian said and retreated.
Cheng Peihan laughed twice, and also retired and followed his sweetheart.
In the second half of the day, there were people who reported that several noble families who had been good with Rong Yue in the past also sent food to respond. (To be continued.) )
