Chapter 18: A Glimpse of the Root of the Trouble (1)
A glimpse of the root of the bane (1)
Ah Liu inquired from other servants that Gu Li got up at the right time every day, and the whole family had breakfast in the hall of the main house at the beginning of Chen, and after breakfast, Gu Li went out with Gu Liulang on duty. The non-serious public office, only in Caohe and the palace to get a job of supervising the construction, in the end, for the sake of the expedition to the West Houfu, the person in charge of the affairs above also gave a little affection, and took some friendships, so he was also lazy.
The report was corrected, and there were more people walking around the courtyard, Yinghua took the long sword and ran back to his house to clean up. Mu Qing also went back to the house and asked Ah Liu to comb a simple bun, still without fat powder cuidian decoration, plain skirt. After grooming properly, he taught Ah Liu to open the makeup, picked a few delicate ones, and wrapped them for Ah Liu to take with him.
Ah Liu frowned and looked at the almost empty makeup, "You have to take these to give away?" There are not many of these ornaments, and then scatter those, there are only two things left, how can this be made. ”
"It's okay, it's something outside of the body." Mu Qing shook his head lightly and said, "It's useless here for me, it's better to take it out or it can be worth some use." ”
Ah Liu thought of the wooden box that Mu Qing ransomed for her, and felt annoyed in her heart, "If it weren't for the exchange of my identity deed, it wouldn't be so ......."
Mu Qing took her hand and said angrily: "You and my sister are close family members, and they are the same as Senior Brother Yu. How are you and I comparable to that box of mundane things? Don't say that again. ”
While speaking, a woman knocked on the door a few times and asked in a loud voice, "Is Qi Niang up?" ”
Ah Liu hurriedly went out to answer, Mu Qing took a silk and wrapped it around the crook of his arm, Shi Shiran followed the woman to the main hall for breakfast.
Entering the main hall, before Gu Li arrived, Chen smiled and beckoned Mu Qing to sit next to her, and Wan and Wang were also smiling. Mu Qingyi saluted one by one, and Chen pulled her over with a smile, "Our family doesn't have so many rules, why do we need to salute every day." ”
Mu Qing nodded, turned around and gave Ah Liu a look, Ah Liu immediately took out the silk handkerchief from his arms, peeled it off layer by layer, and stretched it out to Mu Qing's right hand. Wang turned his head slightly sideways to see Pari's things, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, so he couldn't help but glance at Napa.
Mu Qing picked up a dark black jade engraved vine pattern bracelet, and handed it to Chen with a smile, "Qi Niang is young and shallow, this bracelet may not enter the eyes of the mother, it was originally two years earlier that a guest came from Daxing City, gave two, and it is rare to play with it, this ink color is stable and noble, Qi Niang borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." Chen's wrist was weak, Mu Qing gently pushed it, put it on for her, and took a few looks, "It's really my mother's qi energy that lins it." There is another pink ice pattern, which is left to Yinghua. ”
Wang's stared straight across the high table, full of admiration, Wu Jun is a skilled craftsman, jade ornaments are not uncommon, mostly white mutton fat jade, such colorful jade is really rare. Wang also only heard her husband say that when the saint visited the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful and wealthy women who accompanied him wore this kind of colorful jade. As soon as she heard Mu Qing say that there was another pink ice pattern, her eyes suddenly straightened, and she heard that she was going to give Yinghua's lowly girl, she was angry and unconvinced, but she didn't dare to show it, she only dropped her face lightly, raised her eyebrows, and raised her voice: "Yinghua's girl, I'm afraid that she will be happier to give her a sword." ”
"Qi Niang also prepared a small gift for my sister-in-law." Mu Qing was a little tired of Wang's shallow philistine, the corners of his lips were still smiling, he picked up a red gold plum blossom style hairpin from Parry and handed it to Wang's hand, "The style is a little rougher, and I beg my sister-in-law not to dislike it, so I can accept it." ”
Seeing that the jade bracelet was hopeless, Wang was frustrated in his heart, and took the golden hairpin casually, it was actually heavy and solid, and he turned his face and was sincerely happy, and secretly thought to himself, sure enough, it was from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and the etiquette was thorough, and he was bold in his hand, and he couldn't help but praise: "How can Qi Niang be so polite, but teach me to be embarrassed." ”
There was another golden hairpin of a similar style in the handkerchief, and Mu Qing took it and handed it to Wan's. Xu is Wan's background is lower than that of Chen's Wang, and the head and face he wears are also simple, but there are no valuable things, and he is really grateful after taking the hairpin. Wang squinted at the side, and was unwilling in his heart, although there was no difference between her and Wan's in terms of background, but after all, she was hired to do the main room, and she had always been a head taller than Wan's who was a concubine.
Mu Qing saw that the situation was as she expected, the Wan family was really more upright and real than the Wang family, and among the family members, only the Wan family would not have a conflict of interest with her, so before Du Ruhui came to ask for marriage, I am afraid she would have to rely on the Wan family more, as for the Wang family, it is just a useless small role, and the only role is to be able to set off Mu Qing's good to the Wan family.
With a polite greeting, Gu Li paced into the main hall. Although it was a concubine and a separate hospital, the family rules were still inherited from the main house, and everyone kept silent and didn't talk about anything else, but only greeted Gu Li and started to have breakfast.
"Father, there is one thing, Qi Niang is really a little embarrassed, I don't know how to show my father's ......" After eating a few bites, Mu Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, hesitated, and looked very embarrassed.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Qi Niang was thinking that after all, she had been raised in Yuhang, and now that she has gone, she should do her best after all. I am willing to find a quiet Buddhist temple and do daily rituals, which is also a good way to fulfill Qi Niang's intentions. If Qi Niang behaves inappropriately, please ask her father to correct her. ”
Hearing Mu Qing's words, Gu Li laughed a few times, "Qi Niang is also cautious, this should be." What's wrong? Just do it. The family members praised each other, and Gu Li said: "I think the Pufa Temple is very good, the abbot of the temple has a very good relationship with me, and I can rest assured that I will be entrusted to him." is with me, after a while, breakfast, can go together. ”
Mu Qing hurriedly thanked him. Everyone was so enthusiastic, but she was a little overwhelmed, only focusing on the small bowl of wild rice porridge in front of her and eating it carefully.
After breakfast, the coachman at home set up the car and came to invite Gu Li. Gu Li and Mu Qing sat in the car, Liulang sat on the wheel with the coachman, Ah Liu and a small servant followed, and they left Guangfu Town in a while. Not far from the town, I faintly heard the bell of the Pufa Temple, and gradually there was a trace of incense. After a few more walks, the carriage stopped.
Before the coachman could set up the stepping stool, he heard Rokuro raise his voice with a smile: "Supervisor Du, why did you come here today?" Gu Li didn't care about stepping on the stool, stepped off the carriage in one step, and hurriedly saluted and greeted.
Supervisor Du? Mu Qing put on a hat in the car, and absentmindedly tied the drape of the hat, thinking that this Du Supervisor Xu was Du Ruhui's uncle. Ah Liu caught up from behind, lifted the curtain on the car, helped Mu Qing walk down from the stepping stool, and when she got out of the car, she looked up and saw that the person who looked like an official of about forty a year diagonally opposite was also looking at her.
"Ah Lang asked Qi Niang to go and say hello." The little guy beside Gu Li walked quickly to pass the word.
Mu Qing had no choice but to take off his hat again, walked in front of Supervisor Du, bowed his head and bowed down, "Qi Niang has seen Supervisor Du. ”
The man was too busy to help, "Please get up." In Xia Du Yan, I didn't dare to accept the gift of Qi Niang in vain. ”
If it's really his uncle, she didn't expect that now his father and Rokuro are following him on an errand. Mu Qing was slightly stunned, and looked up to see a face with slightly familiar facial features.
