Chapter 418: Dad went out to play
Capital.
Giethoorn in the early morning is as beautiful as a painting. Nianfu is now used to going out for a run every morning, but Wangcai, the lazy thing, is more and more reluctant to move as the weather gets hotter and hotter.
Reaching out and grabbing its heavy long hair, Yujiao said, "County Lord, it's time to cut its hair." ”
Even the meat must be reduced. Nianfu asked people to fetch water, take a bath and change clothes, and handed over this arduous task to Yujiao, "Put a mouth mask on it, so that it can bite you for a while." ”
Many cats and dogs, like children, do not like to trim their hair, and every time they give it a haircut, it is like cutting its flesh, and it is called miserable.
However, Yujiao obviously didn't have to be so troublesome, and tied up the wolf cub in three or two clicks, and opened it with scissors, so the whole village could hear the sad howl of the wolf howl of the prosperous ghost.
When Nianfu cleaned up and came out, Wangcai was gone. When I lifted the bed tent, I saw that I was hiding under my bed, and I really felt like I had dug a pit and buried myself.
I finally coaxed it out, and Nianfu really wanted to laugh.
The original fluffy wolf cub shrank by at least three percent in an instant, with a short white hair that was uneven, and resolutely fulfilled the simple and rough style of Yujiao, clinging to the pink meat, in addition to being ugly, it was still ugly.
I was about to laugh, but looking at Wangcai's sad expression that he was about to cry, Nianfu was tense, and stepped forward and touched its head very gently, "Okay, it's cooler for you to cut it shorter, isn't it?" Okay, okay, it won't look ugly when it grows up in a few days, and then I'll call a shaver to fix it. Keep it spiritually and beautifully, go out and get a girl, okay? ”
Seeing her comforting like this, Wangcai finally lifted his spirits. Sticking out her tongue and licking her hand aggrievedly, the meaning of her eyes is obvious, it is not enough to have good words, it also needs delicious food to comfort the injured little heart.
"Well, and good food. Is it okay to stew you big bone broth today? ”
Giving a little look that was about the same, Wangcai continued to wait under the bed of Nianfu with resentment. Just its image, except for the owner. Don't show it to other girls!
Nianfu smiled sullenly and went to breakfast. By the way, tell your family about Wangcai's embarrassment.
The whole family was happy to hear it, and Cui Rong said, "Don't let Yujiao trim it in the future, it has to be done by a special craftsman." There is a place in the palace eunuchs that specializes in this business. It is also a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave and maid. Momentarily negligent. When I go back, I will ask someone to take care of it. ”
Nianfu smiled and said, "Just write it down" and then took the topic, and turned to talk about the Dragon Boat Festival.
If you want to celebrate the festival, you can't do without wrapping zongzi.
At this time, the zongzi eaten by the beam are not filled. Pure white glutinous rice is cooked and cooled, then sliced with silk thread, poured with honey osmanthus sauce and dipped in it. Nianfu tried it once, but he thought it was very fresh, but Mu Shaoqin was tired of eating it, and told his daughter to make a few new tricks.
It was so unchallenging!
Bean paste dumplings, red date dumplings, ham dumplings, salted meat dumplings...... As long as you can think of the ingredients, almost all the ingredients can be wrapped in the zongzi, and the taste is not bad.
"Don't talk about it, if it's not delicious, Dad will punish you again."
"No problem." Nianfu patted his chest and went down to the kitchen, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl carrying water outside the window, and sighed slightly.
This is Yao poetry.
She is now sold into slavery, and unlike ordinary private slaves, she is an official slave. In other words, Nenfu did not give her the right to freedom.
She was very conscious, and from the day she saw her father come back, she put aside all her shelves and became an ordinary maidservant. Nianfu couldn't bear to name her, so she removed her surname and let people call her poetic.
Nianfu couldn't bear to send her a job to do, so she went to the housekeeper's mother by herself, received the maid's outfit, and took the initiative to do the rough girl's thing.
Chopping wood and carrying water are all things that people don't want to do, and she still rushes to do it.
Nianfu was very reluctant at first, but later, it was Aunt Shi's words that woke her up.
"She is a girl's life now, maybe she can be better off than our family when she goes to someone else's house? Let her do something, life will be better, and she will feel better. Think about it in the past, we were in Huai'an Town, didn't we do all kinds of rough work? Do you still dislike yourself for this? ”
In the end, it is an old man who has been in the world for a long time, and his words may not be very beautiful, but it makes Nianfu feel much better.
If fate can't be changed, you can only learn to accept it and make yourself better.
For the sake of the Yao family, the Hou family can almost be said to have gone bankrupt, and it is absolutely impossible for her and Hou Fangyu to do so. I only hope that she can slowly calm down, and she can find a loyal and honest person to live in the future, and she can be regarded as having a settlement.
But after thinking about it again, Nianfu called Cui Rong and instructed, "I don't think there are any other positions, but with her, others are idle." In the future, let Poetry serve the small kitchen, anyway, I have a lot of things, and someone has to help. ”
In the kitchen, although she is still a third-class maid, she has the opportunity to learn a lot and has room for improvement. Cui Rong naturally understands Nianfu's kindness, and her heart is also warm. The county lord is a benevolent person, and it is his own blessing to follow such a master, and it can be regarded as a great luck in Yao Shiyi's misfortune.
During the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the weather is sunny and hot, and Giethoorn Village is full of festive atmosphere.
But Nianfu ran around in the morning and came back without seeing his father and mother, getting up so late is not their style!
was smiling evilly and thinking of hanging their throats outside the door of their room, brushing their sense of existence, Hui Niang came out to brush her first, "It's all your fault, what zongzi did you make yesterday?" said that he wanted to give your father a taste, but he was caused to eat so much. I said it all, no matter how good the zongzi thing is, you can't be greedy, it won't be digested, and you won't help stop it. As a result, the night was good, and it was really uncomfortable, and it didn't take me to enjoy the lotus moon. As a result, I didn't look at anything, and the lake breeze blew. No, I can't get up in the morning. Nine times out of ten, I think he hurt his stomach from overeating, and he caught a cold with the wind. ”
Nianfu is very aggrieved, she just wants to be filial, who knows that her father will be greedy like a child? Keep saying it's okay, it's okay, who knows he'll be able to eat it?
But now is not the time to worry about these, Nian Fu hurriedly said, "Then I'll go and ask for a doctor." Forget it, let's go and ask Dr. Zou, he has been conditioning his father's body, so it's safer to invite him here. ”
"But this is a big holiday, wouldn't it be bad to find someone to come?" Hui Niang felt sorry for her husband, but she was also a little hesitant.
Nian Fu wanted to say that no matter how important no matter how important no matter how much no one's body mattered, Mu Shaoqin came out, "I'm fine." It's just a little problem, it's not a big deal, just let people find a Lang Zhong to take a look. In fact, if I want to say that I don't need to ask any doctor, just give me your hawthorn sauce to eat, and then boil a ginger soup. It's just that I can't enter the palace right now, you hurry back to the capital to say hello to your aunt, and then accompany the old lady, don't worry about the family. ”
Nianfu is still not at ease, "Dad, you are weak, don't drag a small illness into a major illness, do you want me to invite Imperial Doctor Zou, when I return to Beijing, I will ask the imperial doctor on duty to come back, okay?" ”
But Mu Shaoqin shook his head resolutely, "Don't do it." Nianfu is still young, and you don't understand the sophistication of people here. During the holidays, the imperial doctors also had a holiday, and those who stayed on duty were all prepared to see the nobles in the palace. In case we invite us, and there is an emergency in the palace, this will offend people. So don't go, even your aunt's. Dad is really fine, it's over with a good rest. ”
Hui Niang thought about it and said, "Nianfu, what your father said is that there are still so many people in our family, so we can take care of your father in one day." If the old lady is happy when you go back to Beijing, you can simply spend the night there and come back, don't worry about home. ”
Hearing them all say so, Nianfu had no choice but to leave.
She didn't know how many people's fate would be changed by this Dragon Boat Festival.
※
During the Dragon Boat Festival, artemisia leaves have already been hung in various places in the palace, the five poisons are hung in the room, and pomegranate flowers are sprinkled on the tent, almost everyone wears the longevity thread made of five-thread silk thread, congratulates each other, and is very lively.
In addition to rejoicing for the holidays, there is also a grace in the palace. That is, every time there is a big festival like the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the family members of the ladies in the palace will be allowed to visit. Even eunuchs and palace maids with heads and faces can go to the palace gate to have a small gathering with their families, so that everyone in the palace is full of joy.
Although Renshou Palace is the widow of the Queen Mother, it was also arranged early in the morning.
Empress Dowager Mu personally instructed a few days ago that she must prepare the tea that King Ping likes to drink, as well as the snacks he loves to eat, and she must not be negligent at all.
Shanyin smiled and joked, "In the end, it's my sister and brother, and it's no wonder that the Queen Mother always thinks about the prince, where the prince goes, doesn't he also think about you?" It's in the country, nothing pulls down. The former child also sent such a fresh horseshoe cake, this sister-brother love is really enviable. ”
Empress Dowager Mu was happy when she heard this, so she wanted to deliberately scold Mu Shaoqin for a few words, give herself a long face, and suddenly returned to the palace for the festival Shou Ning came over to say goodbye, "It turns out that the imperial grandmother also received the horseshoe cake?" I received it too. My aunt made it herself, and she said she was going to bring me rice dumplings today. ”
Hearing Nianfu's name, the smile on Empress Dowager Mu's face faded a lot. Before he could speak, someone from the palace outside replied, "The county lord of Jiashan is here." ”
Empress Dowager Mu thought that Mu Shaoqin was coming together, so she hurriedly ordered someone to invite her in, but unexpectedly, she only saw one Nianfu, and she was disappointed.
"Where's your father?"
Nianfu stepped forward to greet the old aunt, and then said, "Dad went out to play, I said that I would come back today to accompany my aunt for the holiday, but the road was unfortunately delayed, and I sent someone early in the morning to say that I couldn't come back anyway, so I ordered me to apologize to my aunt and ask my aunt for forgiveness." Dad said that when he came back, he would definitely come to the palace again to ask for his guilt. ”
This lie was made up by Mu Shaoqin, if he said that he was uncomfortable, it was inevitable that the Queen Mother would ask him, and he didn't want to worry his old sister during the big holiday, so he found an excuse.
But Empress Dowager Mu didn't blame him, but she blamed Shang Hui Niang.
Only Nianfu came, but Hui Niang didn't come, so the younger brother must have taken his daughter-in-law out to play. Because of prejudice in her heart, Empress Dowager Mu thought that it was Hui Niang's wild nature, and abducted her younger brother out to play, and then played so much that she didn't know how to go home, is this a kind of talk?
