92. Anti-water
According to the rules, Shuheng has to take five months of small work. It is not allowed to dress gorgeously, feast, drink, sing and dance, and have fun in the countryside. The situation of wearing burlap did not appear, and Mrs. Yuan was not only worried about the truth, but also afraid that Shuheng would be wronged, so she changed her method and adjusted it carefully. A plain water-colored dark flower tunic waist dress, dark silver withered lotus deciduous gown, and the cuffs of the skirt are inlaid with a finger-wide white velvet edge. Only a simple meniscus bun is tied on the head, and a slender silver hairpin is inserted into the Sumei Hanxue, and occasionally two milky white ribbons or edelweiss flowers are tied.
Shuheng doesn't go out much, so he writes and puts chess pieces at home, which is really boring, and he will also take a needle and thread to hold an embroidery bandage to pass the time. Embroidering a rose that day, from breakfast to the light of the lamp, she felt good about herself, rubbed her dry eyes and boasted: "Although it is not very delicate, it has a little charm." The diligent and capable date laughed at her: "Miss save it, if this job is an embroiderer, you will be scolded by the employer for ruining things." Shuheng once again sighed that he really didn't have this skill, so he gave up.
"Is there any news from the Dong Mansion?" Shuheng stopped the pen and rubbed his hands, and the honey was busy bringing water in a thin celadon lotus pot, the temperature was just right, and there were some petals sprinkled in it, and the lady told her that after taking the needle and thread or writing, she must soak it in warm water, and rub it with perfume and pollen, so as not to make her fingers rough. In the past, the tip of the upper finger of Shuheng's index finger was calloused, and many middle school students in China were slightly deformed in this part and wrote their homework. In this life, he can be delicate, and Shuheng is happy to pay attention to it.
She soaked her hands while looking at today's dim sum: watermelon and lychee soup in a small bowl of jasper poplar willow green, white potato chips with a slight heat on a bamboo rattan grass plate, purple potato cake, and golden jujube pastry. Shu Heng was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the tangerine and smiled: "Madam won't give me meat anymore." ”
"The filial piety in our house is strict, the girl should bear with it." Miju smiled and comforted as she spread the half-old red Luo scarf on her lap: "At the beginning, the concubines who guarded the filial piety of the Marquis of Jinxiang had a big belly, and the king of Nan'an County was not reprimanded for the funeral irregularity?" Disrespecting the Dharma is the beginning of trouble. ”
"You're starting to talk like a gentleman." Shu Hengbai said a word, naturally she didn't take it seriously, she took a sip of sweet fruit soup, closed her eyes and tasted it, it was luscious and delicious, and she didn't feel any signs of deterioration in her quality of life. "This girl with dates, you put the letters out of place again? Can't find it yet. ”
Hearing this, the jujube hurriedly opened the beaded curtain and poked his head out of the vase door: "Miss, don't worry, I sorted out the words you wrote, I didn't hear it." ”
"Then what's there to tidy up, fold it, and burn it when it's time to burn."
"Then how can it be, maybe Miss will become popular one day? Like our grandfather, that word is worth a lot of silver. "The peach in charge of the cash cabinet was scared by Shuheng's big hands, and he could think of making money for anything. A good deputy lady was covered in copper stench, and Shuheng was helpless to spread his hands under the expressions of the other three honeysmilers.
"Dong Huaiyu, the eldest son of the Dong Mansion, went to Guangji Temple that day, and Mrs. Dong also went with him. However, Miss Dong had a terrible fever and was not easy to move, so the family of three was delayed in Guangji Temple for five days. The date touched his head: "But later, Gongzi Dong and Mrs. Dong returned to the house, but Miss Dong didn't go home, I don't know where she went." ”
Poof--Shuheng squirted out a sip of tea! Dead girl, you do it! If it doesn't work, it's providence, and you will live a good life in the future
"Is this news true? Or is it Yan Ni's own speculation? Shuheng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, coughing and asking, tears almost choking. Peach patted her on the back while glaring at the dates: "Don't talk nonsense." Miss Dong may just want to clear her heart. The place that Dong Dagongzi personally arranged with his sister may be to scatter his heart. Don't you know? Lord Dong and Mrs. Dong have been angry lately, and it is not easy for their children to do in the middle, Dong Huaiyu can still avoid going to the academy, but Miss Dong can't do it. ”
Shuheng didn't listen to them anymore, so he immediately put down his chopsticks, ordered someone to tear off the food table, lay the paper and grind the book, and blessed the peach to be sent out in person, no matter what, it must be delivered to Dong Yin in person!
As soon as the letter was sent, she waited restlessly for a reply, but Dong Yin's reply was not received, and an unexpected guest suddenly came to the door. One evening when the sun was dead and the sky was full of red blood, Silver Butterfly suddenly appeared in her breezy courtyard.
Since Shu Heng knew that he was not very good at observing people's hearts, and lacked too much consideration with the sinister yin, he kept to himself, and originally wanted to say that she was uncomfortable, but she was sitting at the window, and the strings in her hands were still vibrating.
Yindie stood at the door so firmly, quite a meaning that if you don't see me, I won't leave, and Shuheng is also helpless. While calling Honey to invite someone in, she gave Peach a look and asked her to report to Ronghua Hall. The silver butterfly girl wore a homely dress, a small jacket embroidered with rose red satin, a dark yellow printed and dyed flowered horse-faced skirt, and two large hairpins with frost and silver ruyi patterns on her head. Mrs. Yuan will not use clumsy means to deduct her life, Yindie looks a little thinner, and there are signs of widowhood between her eyebrows, but everything else is fine. The girl sat down and let the honey pour tea.
Honey glanced at Yindie unconvinced, and instead of taking the small multicolored clay gold lid cup that the book balance usually treats guests, she came over with a dark pastel thin tire white porcelain cup. Tea, it is still excellent Liu An melon slices. She didn't have time to get the tea that her aunt drank.
Yindie turned a blind eye to the cold reception of honey, and as soon as she entered the door, she greeted Shuheng, and when she saw the tea, she deliberately stood up and thanked her, and took a sip, and thanked her again. Her courtesy was so thoughtful that Shuheng couldn't open his mouth to expel it.
The tea is slightly half, and the silver butterfly carefully reads the book balance, and the book balance turns around and glances, and the candied dates with a strict expression pretend to be fierce honey are standing behind him, as if a delicate silver butterfly girl who is not careful will pounce on him and tear the book balance. Shu Heng pursed the corners of his mouth imperceptibly: "If you have something to say, just say it, they were my confidants, so don't be tight." ”
Silver Butterfly seemed to struggle for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and opened her mouth. She had also tried to start with this pampered little girl in Dingguo Mansion before, but she unexpectedly touched the wall several times in a row, only to find that this little girl was not as close as she imagined. If you don't say something today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future.
"About the fifteenth of last month, the Queen Mother said that she missed our daughters who had been raised by herself, so she let us enter the palace. It's about chatting and gossiping. Also, let us meet our own family members and relieve our thoughts. ”
The corners of Shu Heng's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc: "The Queen Mother worships the Buddha, the most pity the poor and the weak, and has a kind heart." ”
Yindie rubbed her handkerchief and seemed to be struggling again, and Shuheng gently blew away the milk foam on the water surface and waited patiently for her.
"County lord, it seems that the Queen Mother intends to set you into Xianghua Mansion."
Shuheng was startled and looked up suddenly. Yindie said quickly: "At first, Concubine Yuan blocked the car, but the Queen Mother disliked, the last time I entered the palace, I heard that the concubine Niangniang knelt in the Buddha Hall and copied the scriptures all night. ”
Seeing the questioning look in Shu Heng's eyes, Yindie eagerly raised her hand: "County Lord, if I lie, let me have a boil on my mouth and pull out my teeth and tongue." On that day, the palace maid of Zhaoren Palace happened to come to deliver the copied scriptures, and I saw with my own eyes that the Queen Mother said with her own eyes, "Concubine Yuan's words are still so beautiful, and the Buddha Hall is cold at night, so let her pay attention to the blanket not to freeze." I later found out, and on the surface, it seemed that Concubine Yuan had pear juice in the puff pastry, and the Queen Mother had not touched pears since a certain diarrhea, and Concubine Li took the opportunity to say that Concubine Yuan had bad intentions, so she was punished. ”
Shu Heng was horrified in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a while, Yindie only thought that she still didn't believe it, and knelt down: "County Lord, the life of my family is in the hands of the Queen Mother, and I am going to be ruled by her for the rest of my life." You don't know, the last time I went to the palace, my little brother, poor to see, had a bruise and a purple on his arms and legs, and he was pinched and twisted by those little middle people. Madame doesn't treat me harshly, but I have never saved my monthly money, and I have to honor those people every time, those wolves! Yindie's face was full of tears: "I had a bad heart, I should be punished, and I have no complaints whether I am beating or selling." But I'm fed up, county lord, you are the most merciful, you beg the grandfather of the country, beg Concubine Yuan, let them tell the emperor, I will return my mother and brother, and I will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of your life. ”
Shuheng was stunned for a long time, and gently put the cup on the table. Seeing that she didn't react, the yellow sweat on her forehead rolled down, and she was in a panic, Shuheng finally spoke: "I have written down your intentions." I've also taken note of your request. Let me try to talk about it. ”
Yindie was busy kowtowing, but Shuheng hurriedly stopped Honey: "You don't have to be like this. Don't have to hope too much, after all, that person is the queen mother, and she is the person who the emperor has to let go. By the way, when I was with you, Lan Ze of the Fuguo Mansion was personally carried as a concubine by the Duchess of Fuguo, do you know? ”
Yindie nodded: "She gave birth to a son, and when I saw her, I gave her a golden hairpin." ”
Shuheng asked again: "Then what is the Queen Mother's attitude towards Lan Ze?" ”
Silver Butterfly's face turned white in an instant: "Lan Ze is terrified every time he sees the Queen Mother. Once the Queen Mother said that her brother was very cute, and she was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed on the spot. ”
"Isn't she worried about her family in the hands of the Queen Mother?"
Her mother scolded her, scolded her for her own stiff wings, regardless of her family, ruthless and unrighteous white-eyed wolf. I only know that I will be happy, regardless of whether my parents and brothers live or die. Scolding and scolding, Lan Ze was cold, so he really didn't care. ”
Shuheng asked again: "Then don't you think her life is quite comfortable, and her son has a name." ”
When Yindie heard this, her lips almost snapped, and she knelt on the ground again: "The county lord doesn't know, we all drank medicine at the beginning, and we couldn't have children at all." Lan Ze is smart, I found out afterwards that after the palace maid who supervised the medicine was gone, she immediately picked her throat and spit out all the medicine. I don't dare to think of anything else, otherwise, I will be hit by five thunders in the sky. ”
Shuheng nodded again, and let the honey send off. Seeing the silver butterfly wiping away from her tears, Shu Heng couldn't help but turn his head to look at the large round mirror of Yuren's double hand guards Ruyi glass beads, is this face too auspicious? Even the Queen Mother wants to put it on the swing? During the five-month filial piety period, Shuheng counted with his fingers, time flies so fast, I am afraid that the future will not be too peaceful.
