Chapter 153: Calm Waves (9)
The two little maids entered the prime minister's mansion one after the other, the bold maid grew strong, and the courage was extraordinarily big, the timid maid was thin, the courage was famously small, and she fainted blood, and she couldn't do the thing of killing chickens and ducks, all of them were bold maids to help, and she hid far away with her little head, for fear of seeing the bloody scene.
The timid maid talked a lot, especially when there were only the two of them, and she chattered endlessly, like a little goldfish exposed to the water on a rainy day, constantly spitting bubbles, one bubble after another automatically rising upwards until the water surface exploded.
The bold girl is annoyed so much that she can't do it, but she has already developed a skill that can automatically block and ignore some of the words of the timid girl, and she can only see her mouth move, but the words she says can't get into her ears.
At this time, the timid maid was making a fire, the best porcelain jar, the best coal, and even the water was the clear water coming out of the famous spring in the capital, which was crystal clear, and after the water was boiled, it was still clear without a trace of sediment.
Xiangye Pan Chunwei has no other special hobbies, but he likes to make a cup of Babao tea with spring water, and then looks for some peace and comfort after the case. I heard that Xiangye and his wife met in front of that spring, and the originally prodigal Xiangye fell in love at first sight, cried at second sight, and no longer cherished the wind and snow, and since then has become a model among men, so that after so many years, I don't know how many women have used many means to marry into the Prime Minister's mansion, and some women are not greedy for the power of the prime minister, but the rare Xiangye.
Pan Renmei and Pan Meimei couldn't bear it, and wanted to match their father with a woman with a beautiful appearance and a graceful temperament. Seeing that it was about to succeed, the woman was already in her father's room.
Pan Chunwei smiled and waved his hand, politely declining the woman. turned around and severely scolded Pan Renmei and Pan Meimei.
At that time, Pan Meimei was already the princess, but in front of her father, she could only look like a little girl who had been wronged.
The second prince, Zhao Shuo, couldn't look at it, so he comforted him a few words.
Pan Chunwei immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The minister is guilty." ”
Zhao Shuo was embarrassed, embarrassed, and hurriedly helped the prime minister up, and sighed secretly: "Father-in-law." Why are you bothered? ”
In the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the timid maid lit a fire and put a tea pot on the shelf. The little face was already blackened, and he couldn't help coughing twice, and his eyes were choked with tears, which looked particularly pitiful.
The bold girl burst out laughing. Take out the handkerchief and gently wipe her cheeks. took the pu fan in the hand of the timid maid, fanned the fire a few times, the flames rose and became larger, licking the bottom of the tea can, and the smoke was much less.
The two sat side by side, waiting for the spring water to boil.
The life of the prime minister is monotonous and dull, but the two of them snuggle up to each other and don't feel that it is so difficult. The life outside the Xiangfu is indeed rich and colorful, with beautiful colors and beautiful colors. But what does it matter to us, a sugar gourd, a marshmallow, a small candy man can make us happy for a long time, because of contentment, because of satisfaction, so that our life is simple and fulfilling.
The spring water was boiling, gurgling and steaming, spitting bubbles, and the bold girl let the clumsy and clumsy timid girl hide far away, holding a towel in both hands, blowing the hot air vigorously, and then putting it on the tea can, holding her breath, and violently taking the tea can off the hot fire.
At this time, the timid maid had already put the eight treasures tea in the teacup, rinsed it with spring water, two dollars of tea leaves, one red date, five wolfberries, one walnut kernel, two longan, a small pinch of sesame seeds, ten raisins, and a sun-dried chrysanthemum.
Xiang Ye likes to drink Babao tea like this, and likes to drink it quantitatively and regularly.
"Get out of the way, be careful not to get burned." The bold girl said as she poured the boiling water into the teacup, and the heat rose from between the two little maids, as if through a thick fog, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.
The timid maid babbled and covered the tea lid on the teacup, the mist disappeared in an instant, the tea lid simmered the heat, and the eight treasure tea brewed out was particularly fragrant.
Raising his head and smiling at the bold girl, the timid girl asked quite proudly, "How is it?" I'm amazing! ”
"Awesome, awesome." The timid maid shook her head and said helplessly, "Wait for the tea to cool a little, take it to Xiangye's study, be careful on the road, don't be too frizzy, and sprinkle the tea." ”
"Got it, got it." The timid girl said impatiently, and then looked up at the kitchen mysteriously, no one paid attention to it, walked into the bold girl quickly, smiled slyly, took out a bag of raisins from her hand, pinched one and stuffed it into the mouth of the bold girl: "How is it, is it sweet, is it delicious?" ”
The bold girl was slightly stunned, and there was a different kind of sweetness lingering on the tip of her tongue, but her heart was anxious: "Where did you get it, how can you have raisins, and if the steward knows about it, the consequences are unimaginable?" ”
Pan Chunwei, the prime minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is a well-known good person, never asks about the affairs of the house, and will not care about the behavior of some little maids, but the housekeeper Pan An is an out-and-out miser and a big villain. Snacks like raisins are not valuable, but Pan An manages them very tightly, and it is not easy to eat a little.
The timid maid ignored the daring girl's panic, like a little fox: "I took it secretly while the steward was not paying attention!" ”
"Secretly?" The bold girl was even more surprised, and poked the timid girl's head hard, "It's said that you are timid, timid, I think you are the bold one, hide the raisins, don't take them out to show off, in case the news leaks and is known to Steward Pan, you just wait to be beaten." ”
"Got it, got it." The timid maid said impatiently perfunctorily, pinched out a small pinch of raisins, no matter whether the bold girl was willing to leave or not, she stuffed a handful into the other party's mouth, "Don't say that people have to eat this raisin in a big gulp, it's enjoyable to eat a lot of bites, you give it a try." ”
What life is, what a happy life is, is to be able to eat what you love unscrupulously.
Tears rolled down the bold's face, and her face was full of sadness and pain. It's like life and death.
"Ah, why are you still crying?" The timid maid looked at the tearful bold maid in surprise, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. The bold girl is a famous "hard bone" in the Prime Minister's house, that is, the steward Pan greeted her with a whip thick in his arm, she never shed a single tear, and today her face was full of tears, the timid girl is a famous "soft bone", what difficulties she encounters, the first thing she thinks of is crying. Seeing the bold girl like this, she began to cry without being angry.
"The raisins are too sweet, and I was cried by sweetness." The bold girl helped the timid girl wipe her tears. "Look, it scares you."
The timid girl cried and laughed fast, and immediately smiled and patted her chest: "You scared me to death." He took out a raisin again and stuffed it into the mouth of the daring girl. I also ate one.
The bold maid looked at the timid maid with gentle eyes and nostalgia. Then gently hugged her into his arms: "Remember when I said I was going to take you to the grassland?" ”
The timid maid didn't struggle, and hugged the bold girl's waist with her backhand: "Well, remember." You said that the grassland is vast and boundless, with blue sky and white clouds, herds of horses, and sheep. ”
"yes." The bold girl kissed the timid girl lightly on her brow, "I'll go and see if the tea is cold, when the time comes." Just send it to Xiangye! ”
The timid maid nodded heavily.
With his back to the timid girl, the sad look on the bold girl's face was even stronger. Like a soldier who died generously, but still nostalgic for the beauty of the world, tears blurred her vision again, and a bag of highly toxic arsenic slipped from her sleeve to her hand.
Yes, I am a spy of the Huns, I have been infiltrating the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and I thought that I was a maid in this life, and I would always have to be instructed by many superiors, so I lived an ordinary and monotonous life in accordance with the suit. You are not a prairie person, but your personality is like a prairie man, optimistic and hearty, infecting and inspiring me. You are thin, but I know that you have a strong heart, and after I die, you must live well, and live my share.
The bold girl glanced back at the timid girl, she was seriously counting how many raisins were left, thinking about how to distribute the remaining raisins, thinking about eating.
The bold girl smiled miserably, I'm sorry, I can't take you to see the grassland, goodbye.
Pinched open the tea lid with one hand, blocked the timid girl's sight with his body, and slowly poured the highly toxic arsenic into the teacup, leaving half a packet, which was reserved for himself.
It's just that the bold girl suddenly felt a hand covering her mouth, and an extremely sharp dagger suddenly pierced her back, in, out, in, and out, and so on, and all her strength was instantly drained.
Turning her head with difficulty, the bold girl was first frightened, then relieved, and finally smiled: "It turned out to be you." ”
The timid maid held an extremely sharp dagger in her hand, and held the bold girl's shoulder with one hand, her face was full of deep grief and struggle, as well as a trace of annoyance and blame: "Why are you doing this, why are you doing this, you don't do it well, I can assume that I don't know, you are still you, I am still me, is my life bad now?" ”
Yes, you are a spy, and so am I, but it is a spy who is specifically designed to deal with you, and as soon as you entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the court knew your identity, and then sent me to monitor you. Ever since I met you, I have learned that there are such wonderful people in the world, who are in danger, and who can be so optimistic and so fascinating.
"Of course, life is good now, but my parents, my brother, and my sister-in-law are still on the grassland, and they are being kidnapped. They asked me to do this, what can I do? Leave it alone. They said that as long as I completed this mission, I would be able to go back, and I missed them so much! The bold girl's eyes had begun to blur, and she reached out and touched the timid girl's cheek, "My sister-in-law gave birth to a child, she is very healthy, and she has the dark skin unique to the prairie people. The child has a big life, and when he was born, he was almost killed by a group of Zhenbei troops, thanks to the help of Princess Tana on the grassland, he escaped death, I really want to take you back to see. ”
Things are so wonderful, because of that child, Lin Chengping and Princess Tana met, for that child, far away in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Central Plains, a girl who mixed into the Prime Minister's Mansion from the grassland was also enduring humiliation.
The bold girl's body finally couldn't support it, fell to the ground, the scene in front of her began to enlarge, and finally she saw a beam of light, and the memories of the timid girl were vivid, from the first time she saw her first time she spoke, full of alluring beauty and happiness.
Tears welled up again. The timid maid held her hands that were no longer alive, as if she wanted to hold on to the last hope, and you just left? Leave me alone? How can you just walk away like this? Why did you just leave?
She was angry and annoyed. I secretly decided in my heart that I would chase you back, even when I reached the ends of the earth, the underworld, I would also chase you back.
Looking up, the timid maid's eyes finally fixed on the steaming cup of eight-treasure tea, and her eyes burst out with a sickly and crazy light. He picked up the cup of tea and drank it without hesitation, and blood began to flow from his nose and mouth. Soaking white plain clothes.
The bag of raisins she had stolen was scattered all over the floor, as if to tell something.
The timid maid smiled and lay on the body of the bold maid, calm and quiet, and she looked up at her face. Tears flowed. He muttered, "What do you say?" ”
Is it friendship? No; Is it family affection? No; That's the love that has been precipitated and accumulated together for so many years, bit by bit, in daily life!
That's right, that's love, the purest and most enviable love!
Outside the window, Pan An, the chief butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his hands behind his back. Looking quietly through the crack in the window at what was happening in front of him, he could have intervened to stop it. But he didn't, his eyes were indifferent, and there was a touch of loneliness that he had hidden deeply.
Pushing the door in, Pan An instructed the people behind him: "Drag it out and bury it." After a slight pause, he added: "Buried together." ”
The life that was still fresh just now instantly turned into two corpses, Pan Anqing, who was accustomed to seeing the big scene, was very stable, there were no huge fluctuations, gently lit the stove, put the tea can, washed the teacup, and put two dollars of tea leaves, a red date, five wolfberries, a walnut kernel, two longan, a small pinch of sesame seeds, ten raisins, and a sun-dried chrysanthemum.
Waiting for the Babao tea to be cold, Pan An personally took it to Pan Chunwei's study, paused slightly, tidied up his clothes, and knocked on the door gently: "Xiangye, the tea has been brewed." ”
"Hmm." A smoother sound.
Pan An gently pushed open the door, walked slowly to Xiangye's desk, put down the tea, and said softly: "Xiangye, drink tea." ”
Pan Chunwei put down his official duties, picked up the tea, took a sip gently, and then reclined on the Taishi chair to savor a moment of tranquility.
In Pan An's eyes, Prime Minister Pan Chunwei is a self-disciplined and rigorous person, he thinks that the Great Wei State can have no Xiahou Xiangyang, or there can be no Xiliang King Xu Xiao, because those two are martial artists and generals, and there will naturally be someone to replace them, but the Great Wei State cannot do without the prime minister in front of him. He used to be a scholar, thinking about Kuang Fu Sheji, but he knew that his ability was limited, and he only saw the current prime minister, and only then did he know that there are really scholars in the world who are so broad-minded, so knowledgeable, and so spotless in conduct, and only then do he know that there are really scholars who have the ability to save the building from toppling.
Tasting the Eight Treasures Tea, Pan Chunwei's brows became tighter and tighter: "The taste of this tea?" ”
Pan An replied in a low voice: "Xiangye, those two little maids are dead. ”
"Dead?" Pan Chunwei squinted, "Didn't you let you spare their lives?" ”
Pan An plopped and knelt on the ground: "Xiangye, these two people's lives can't be spared." "Xiangye is kind-hearted, he is the backbone of the Great Wei Kingdom, there are some things that Xiangye doesn't want to do, but a thing that threatens Xiangye's safety, I, Pan An, can't shirk it.
Pan Chunwei let out a long sigh: "It seems that you and I are still similar, Your Majesty Xià doesn't want to ban the Zhenbei Army, and he is also tolerant of Xiliang in every way, but as a courtier's food king, he should share worries for the king, check and balance the Zhenbei Army, and suppress Xiliang. Okay, don't kneel, go out, and bury those two maids properly. ”
Pan An slowly got up and exited the study.
With a "hiss", the oil lamp in the study went out, the wick had burned out, the lamp oil had burned out, and the room was dark, but fortunately there was still moonlight shining softly.
Pan Chunwei put the teacup on the table, let out a long sigh, slowly got up and walked to the window, looked up at the bright moon that was cloudy and sunny, and said to himself: "Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more so Kan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival." ”
I don't know who Xiangye's emotion is for. (To be continued......)
