Chapter 35 Make peace with Xue Qingyi
Xiao Wanyao said with a smile: "What the saint is holding in his hand is an antique-level calligraphy work of the Zhao Kingdom, which is said to be from the hand of the Zhao State metaphysician Xun Kun, and has been hanging in the Zhao State city on the border of Wei and Zhao, and now it appears in the hands of the saint, the reason is naturally self-evident." ”
Tang Siqi looked at Xiao Wanyao appreciatively, nodded from time to time, and then said approvingly: "If the ministers of the court and the central government are all as smart as Wan Yao, then the widow doesn't have to be so lucky, it's a pity that Wan Yao is a woman, otherwise you will definitely be able to assist the widow's country, but the widow is also glad that you are a woman, so that you can stay in the widow's harem and take care of the widow's worries." ”
Tang Siqi was not only praising Xiao Wanyao, but also hinting at his intentions to her, but Xiao Wanyao was shrewd in other things, and pretended to be stupid in the matter of being a concubine in the palace.
"This is also the first time Wan Yao has seen the real work with her own eyes, she has seen the model before, and compared with the real work, it is still inferior to these strengths." Xiao Wanyao shifted all her thoughts to Xunkun's calligraphy, and basically ignored what Tang Siqi said.
Tang Siqi was embarrassed for a while, and the color on his face changed and changed for a while, but in the end, he didn't continue, and talked about calligraphy with Xiao Wanyao.
"According to your meaning, you still respect Xunkun's calligraphy?" Tang Siqi looked at Xiao Wanyao with a look of approval on his face when he read the words, so he asked.
Xiao Wanyao replied: "If you compare with the calligraphers of the past dynasties, Xun Kun's words should not be ranked, but his words win in the bones." Don't forget that Xun Kun is a metaphysician, not a calligrapher. ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Siqi asked.
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Yes, others are quite accomplished in metaphysics, calligraphy is completely talented, and finally the integration of metaphysics and calligraphy makes his characters so stylish." ”
Tang Siqi thought for a moment and said: "The world thinks that this ink treasure is a treasure among antiques, because it comes from the hands of metaphysicians, and it can be placed on the border of Zhao and Wei to guard the city, but now you like its words themselves, and the insights are also unique!" ”
Xiao Wanyao looked at it again and again, and said: "Not long after the Holy Lord ascended the throne, he took a city in Zhao State, I think this is also the first city that the Holy Lord has won!?" This calligraphy is also very commemorative, it is better to hang it in the Xuanshu Hall, and it is good to see it every day, and it is also an encouragement to the saint. ”
Tang Siqi smiled heartily: "You're right, this is the first city taken by the widows, and now this loot will be hung in the Xuanshu Palace, and the widows will have more cities and more loot in the future!" Tang Siqi showed a smug look on his face, "Xun Kun has studied metaphysics all his life, how can he not count so many years after his death, the only remaining ink treasure can not stay in his homeland, I don't know if he will crawl out of the grave if he knows underground." ”
Xiao Wanyao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, Tang Siqi really didn't have a good mouth when he spoke, Xunkun was a person who had passed away for many years after all, even if he was not of the same clan, he didn't need to be like this, he should have at least respect for his ancestors and predecessors. Tang Siqi's arrogance is there.
But there should also be a degree of arrogance.
Xiao Wanyao really didn't want to continue talking with him after hearing this, whether it was calligraphy or the city, looking at Xunkun's Mobao felt a little pity.
"Isn't the Holy One hungry? Wan Yao was hungry, Wan Yao came here after hearing the saint call Wan Yao to eat. Xiao Wanyao changed her words, rolled up the scroll with her hand, and said.
Tang Siqi suddenly realized when he heard her say this: "By the way, when you say this, you only remembered that you are happy for the loot here, but you forgot to get down to business." Tang Siqi bypassed the desk and entered the back room, where a sumptuous dinner was already set on the table.
"Fortunately, the house is warm, these dishes are not cold, and you can eat privately with the widow as usual, eat whatever you like, don't be restrained, you will be hungry and thin when you turn around, and you will become a widow." After Tang Siqi took his seat, he beckoned Xiao Wanyao to come over to eat, because he was in a very good mood, so he talked more than before.
During dinner, Tang Siqi suddenly asked about the morning, and Xiao Wanyao knew that Tang Siqi knew every move in Jiaofang Palace.
"I heard that this morning, the queen called you to the main hall?" Tang Siqi asked casually.
Xiao Wanyao put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Yes." ”
"Don't be inhibited, just talk about it." Tang Siqi pointed to her dishes and chopsticks and told her to continue eating.
Seeing her pick up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, Tang Siqi continued to ask, "Isn't the queen sick?" Why did you have the heart to go? ”
"If you go back to the saint, the queen asked Wan Yao to go, just to ask Wan Yao if she is suitable for the other courtyard of Jiaofang Palace, and she is concerned about Wan Yao's food and clothing." Xiao Wanyao replied.
"But I heard that you went there on foot, not only that, but whenever you encounter stagnant water, you always ask the eunuch to step on it with a cloth, just to avoid soiling your shoes and socks, is there such a thing?" Tang Siqi's voice was lukewarm.
If others heard such a question, they should kneel down and explain it, but Xiao Wanyao didn't, and when she mentioned this matter, she seemed calm, as if she was talking about it: "The saint knows about it, Wanyao is afraid that the snow melt on the way to the road will stain her shoes and socks, and the main hall of the Jiaofang Hall will affect the mood of the queen." ”
Tang Siqi glanced at her, neither angry nor unhappy, his expression was as usual: "You have a heart, but wouldn't this be too extravagant?" ”
Xiao Wanyao also smiled: "Wanyao uses jute cloth, wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, absorbent and easy to clean, a little dirty snow water, after washing, it looks brand new, linen cloth also has such a characteristic, the color is more and more bright, compared with other fabrics, it is not delicate at all." ”
Tang Siqi smiled again when he heard this: You know so much, come, eat more vegetables. ”
Tang Siqi naturally bypassed this topic, Xiao Wanyao knew in his heart, he had no doubt in this way, so he didn't have to worry about it.
After hesitating again and again, Xiao Wanyao still decided not to mention the matter of the queen's illness to Tang Siqi, this kind of thing is the best to go naturally, she believes that Xue Qingyi has been moved, because she is impatient because this illness has tormented her, and she wants to help her heal completely because she will be better sooner or later, it is better to sell her personal favor, and then for her own future plans, just let Xue Qingyi suffer for a few days less, which really makes Xiao Wanyao regret, but thinking about it is for the sake of the overall situation, this is worth it.
In the evening, when I returned to the courtyard of the Jiaofang Palace, Licorice greeted me and said, "Second Miss, just now the queen sent someone over, saying that she would let you go over as soon as you came back, saying that she had something to discuss with you." ”
On the one hand, Xiao Wanyao felt that the couple was really annoying, pestering her like a ghost all day long, and on the other hand, she felt that Xue Qingyi should be moved, so she was so eager to see her.
"Then let's go!?" Won't it be for me to walk over again like I did in the morning? Xiao Wanyao asked.
Licorice shook her head and said, "The people in the queen's palace came back to pick up the second lady, saying that they were negligent in the morning. ”
Xiao Wanyao was too lazy to care, anyway, she wasn't tired at this time, so she sat in the sedan chair prepared for her by the queen's palace people.
In the dormitory of Jiaofang Palace, Xue Qingyi's condition was very bad, after drinking the medicine, she felt tightness in her chest, panicked, dizzy and nauseous, and her back hurt badly.
Xue Qingyi couldn't drink the boiled medicine in one gulp, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Wanyao had said in the Jiaofang Hall in the morning, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, thinking that Xiao Wanyao didn't dare to come nonsense, what she said was so unfathomable, Xue Qingyi felt that according to her current situation, it would be beneficial and harmless to find Xiao Wanyao to try it.
After Xue Qingyi thought about it, he quietly asked Chunhua to find Xiao Wanyao, and tried not to let Xue Tianao know as much as possible.
Xiao Wanyao didn't come back until it was dark, and walked to Xue Qingyi's dormitory, Aunt Chunhua was waiting at the door early, changing her arrogance during the day.
"Miss Xiao Er is here, come in! I'm waiting for you in the house right now! Aunt Chunhua said with an anxious face.
Xiao Wanyao looked at Aunt Chunhua expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Got it, let's go in!" ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't want to be polite to this vicious woman, that person's essence was the same as her master, but she was forced by the form, otherwise Xiao Wanyao would definitely choose to sit idly by.
Outside the hall, it was icy and snowy, but inside the dormitory, it was extremely hot, Xiao Wanyao felt very hot as soon as she came in, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the stuffiness.
"Why is it so hot?" Xiao Wanyao frowned, few people could afford to stay in such a hot room all day.
Aunt Chunhua said: "It's the mother who says it's cold, and the slaves and maids are also for the mother." ”
Xiao Wanyao shook her head: "Confused, go and remove the brazier, just make sure that the temperature in the house is the same as the ordinary room temperature." ”
Aunt Chunhua frowned: "This can't work!" The mother said she was cold ......"
"The queen mother called me here, the eight achievements are to let me treat her, if you don't listen to me, then I'll leave now, I can't do it to cure the disease or something." Xiao Wanyao glared at Aunt Chunhua and said angrily.
Aunt Chunhua was also a little angry, and when she was about to argue with her, Xue Qingyi opened her mouth to speak, and her voice lacked confidence: "Chunhua, you listen to her...... Don't argue, let's live in peace. ”I1483
