030 Moon Pavilion
Wu'er was frightened by the little girl's words, "What can we do about this?" ”
Aunt Zhuang patted the child on the shoulder, "You can tell a story, and if you see Ming'er talking nonsense, I will cut out your tongue." Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu'er, if you believe him, even the emperor doesn't know something, he knows it, listen to his vernacular. ”
The little man stuck out his tongue, "Your old man doesn't believe what I said, my brother has been to the Ice and Snow Plains, before he came back, the news was spread in the army, even the tiger head general knew, and sent a competent person back to investigate, you wait, it won't be long before I catch the spy and the emperor announces it to the world, your old man will know if I am lying." ”
"I don't care if you're lying, after eating the moon cakes, hurry up and get to work, if you don't scoop out the juice of these petals today, see if the white lady will uncover your skin? I'm still hanging around here. ”
Brother Ying asked curiously, "What do you want these juices for?" ”
Aunt Zhuang pursed her lips, "It's okay." She didn't know where she heard a recipe, the rose petals scooped out the juice, Tao Teng cleaned, cut the velvet cloth into pieces of the same size, soaked in it, and after a few days it dried, it was the best rouge. The rouge in the shop is all mixed with alum, and the color is thin, so it is not as clean and colored as this oneself. ”
"This is the first time I've heard of it."
Xiaoque interjected on the side, "When Ming'er makes it, I'll leave some for you and Sister Wu'er, let's use some good ones, my sister is now as good-looking as those big sisters." ”
"Forget it, you can keep it for yourself, I don't like those flowers and pink." Thinking of the Ruhua in Stephen Chow's movie, with two red faces on his face, Brother Ying hurriedly thanked Xiaoque for his kindness.
Aunt Zhuang whispered to Brother Ying, "It can't be done at all, don't worry about it." ”
Wu'er asked, "Why?" ”
"Don't look at the heavy color of a few roses here, they are all purple-red, but the juice is too light, can't hang the color at all, if you want to make this rouge, you have to use a single-petal rose called 'Zui Hongyan', add water soaked in glutinous rice, filter while scooping, and finally come out of the color, in order to dye it on the velvet cloth. The White Lady was either deceived or didn't understand. ”
Brother Ying was speechless, "Be a rouge, there are so many things to talk about, auntie, where did you hear about these?" ”
"The more people have lived, the more they naturally know." Aunt Zhuang squinted her eyes and smiled mysteriously.
A child next to him heard it, and muttered to Aunt Zhuang dissatisfied, "Isn't it in vain to know that you can't do it and instruct us." ”
"You have the guts, say to the white lady yourself~"
The child shrank his head, "I'm idle, go and mess with that tigress, but I'm not tired, just play." ”
A few of them went to tell stories again, and Aunt Zhuang took Brother Ying aside and asked her how she was staying in Longxiang Garden for the past month. Brother Ying roughly talked to her, and asked what was going on in the yard? It's obviously a family, so why do they all seem to hide their hearts.
Aunt Zhuang whispered to Brother Ying, "You are still young, I don't understand, although you are a family, you also have a relative." It's like the eldest lady and the eldest young grandmother, that is the aunt's cousin, who broke the bones and connected the tendons, and for example, the second young master, except for the general, how can there be relatives in this yard, even the family affairs, are all picked up by the eldest lady, otherwise they can leave within a few days of getting married, which is not good. In this courtyard, the eldest lady and the third young master and the eldest lady are really relatives, and they are their own children, no one can compare, and the eldest young master can't do it, who let his mother die early, a daughter-in-law is not intimate, and she looks detached. ”
"Isn't there another second miss?"
Aunt Zhuang gave a thumbs up, "That's the top person in the boudoir, with a good heart and good appearance, the most rare thing is to know the general situation and have a decision, but it's a pity that it was born to an aunt, and he died of illness a few years ago." When you die, you also talk about it. The things in this courtyard cannot be delved into. It's not a short time when you went to Longxiang Garden, and you didn't see Aunt Zhang, if it weren't for the protection of the general, she would be able to eat fast and chant Buddha with peace of mind? I don't know how far people have gone for a long time. ”
Brother Ying thought to himself: It doesn't seem to be the case, she has been to Longxiangyuan for more than a month, and she has never seen the general.
"Auntie has heard about An Rongtang?" Regarding the matter of Chun Xian, Brother Ying heard different versions from the mouths of many people, but he didn't dare to inquire deeply, although Aunt Zhuang was in the laundry room, she was very well informed, and I don't know if she knows the beginning and the end.
"It's a sin, I've seen that girl in Chunxian, her eyes are high, she sells quickly, and she is the most scheming, this time she is a mallet."
"So, the rumors are true?"
Aunt Zhuang glanced at Brother Ying, "What rumors?" ”
"Hmm~" Brother Ying hesitated, not knowing what to say, "It's just that there is also a matter of the young grandmother?" ”
"There are some things that can be heard and not said. Even if you see it with your own eyes, it will rot in your stomach, do you hear it? Have you forgotten about the string of pearls? That backyard, looking at the flowers everywhere, there are traps underneath, you have to be careful. If you have the chance, you should go out of the house with me and go to Zhuangzi. Coarse tea and light rice, so comfortable. ”
Brother Ying lowered his head and thought about it, "Thank you, Auntie, for planning for the two of us, let's go now, wait and make plans." ”
"Well, with the monthly money, you save some money and save a little for yourself. Although I am young now, I will have to plan for myself in a few years. Now there is chaos in this house, and the world outside is not peaceful, so let's take a step at a time. ”
After the two of them finished speaking, they came to them again, and listened to the child's vernacular for a while, looking at the time when it was not early, Wu'er was a little worried, she followed Brother Ying out privately, although she was not at work today, but she found it for a while, and it was also a problem, so she sat for a while, and then took Brother Ying back. Brother Ying couldn't sit still because he had something on his mind, so he got up and said goodbye to them.
Aunt Zhuang also said, "Go back quickly, it's not for you to stay here." ”
Those little ones also got up to send them to Ermen, only the little bird was reluctant to Brother Ying, tugging at the corner of his skirt, pouting, and his face was full of unhappiness. Brother Ying pulled her aside and stuffed her purse into his hand, "Sister Ruyu in the yard gave it, keep it well, I will come to see you as soon as I have time." ”
Xiaoque is young, but very sensible, hid her purse well, and nodded, "Well, I know, my sister often comes to see me." ”
Brother Ying sent Wu'er back to Longxiang Garden, planning to go to his house to get some things to use. As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Xiangyun standing in the yard, and when I saw Brother Ying, I laughed, "I was looking for someone to run an errand, the big girls were busy, and the little girls couldn't believe it, it just so happened that you were here, but you ran errands." Wu'er also followed, she likes to wander around, and the road is familiar. ”
Brother Ying asked, "What's the matter with my sister?" ”
"There is a skirt here, and the second lady begged our aunt to embroider a new pattern, so she was driven out before the festival. If the second lady asked her aunt what she was doing, she would say that our aunt really missed her, but she didn't have time to go around. As he spoke, he handed a silver satin package to Brother Ying, "No need to make a big fuss, come back when you go." ”
"yes, got it."
Brother Ying turned around with the package and came out with Wu'er, and said to Wu'er with a smile, "Because of me, you haven't walked much today." ”
Wu'er was very happy, "Go and send things to the masters, spread the word, this job is usually not our turn to do, today is an exception, I like to go to Mingyue Pavilion very much, the sisters there are easy to talk to." ”
The two of them walked along the stone road for a long time, and they were about to walk to the innermost part of the courtyard, only to see a small courtyard behind a bamboo forest in the distance, and there was a corner of the pavilion behind the courtyard. There are two words on both sides of the courtyard gate, "The bright moon is out of the cloud cliff, and the light is bright." Just looking at this doorway, there is a quiet feeling of empty mountains and valleys.
Wu'er stood at the door and leaned over, "Is Sister Xiaoyu here?" ”
