Chapter 22: Huang Shangshu

"Yi Lian, your mother has become more and more sick in the past few years, and she often talks nonsense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info I have been married to her for many years, and I can't bear to be harsh. Huang Shangshu shook his head, stroked his eyebrows and sighed.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are predestined, and now that my mother is insane, you not only have not abandoned her, but you also love her so much, she should be content." The yellow-clothed Lianlian moved slightly and moved to the kang to add tea to her father.

"Father, are you okay with your tea today? My grandfather said that this is the newly produced Ming Qian tea on Bird's Tongue Mountain this year, and there are only a few catties in total, and all of them have been sent to the palace. A few days ago, the third prince came to ask for a painting and gave a few taels. My grandfather thought about your hobby of tea, so he gave you all the bags. ”

Huang Yilian half-squatted on the edge of the kang, tilting his head, his face full of admiration.

"Rulan in the tongue, refreshing people's spleen, good tea! Good tea! Huang Shangshu stroked the teacup, looked at his daughter and smiled, with a kind of father and son, and a happy appearance, as if everything just now was just an inconsequential episode.

Nalan Qi was previously summoned to the side of the kang by Mrs. Huang, and no one called her back to sit down, so she kept standing quietly on the side without squinting, just like the little tea maids in navy blue dresses on both sides of the kang.

"Oh, Qi'er, you child, how can you be so restrained, you and I have a mother-daughter relationship, and this Huang family is your grandfather's family. Look at you, and don't know to come back and sit. Huang Yilian and his father talked a little more about their parents, and it seemed that they had only noticed Nalan Qi who was mixed in the group of maids, and called affectionately.

"Master, Mrs. Sun said that he had business to visit you, and the housekeeper has welcomed him to the flower hall, and sent a slave to send you a message." As he was talking, a little maid came through the curtain to deliver a message.

"Look at my memory, the northwest is waterlogged, and I will discuss with Taifu this rest day to find a countermeasure together. was rushed by the joy of your return to the door, but I forgot about this stubble. “

Huang Shangshu got up in a hurry, his wide robe hooked the tea cup placed on the small table, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a sharp breaking sound. The tea maid who stood straight on the side hurriedly bowed her waist and skillfully cleaned up the tea residues on the ground.

"The technology of building a kiln to make tea cups is really declining, doesn't this tea cup tear my robe? By the way, Yi Lian, after all, it's a foreigner, so you go behind the screen to avoid it. Huang Shangshu frowned and walked to the threshold with an impatient expression, then turned his head and commanded loudly.

Nalan Qi lowered his head and looked at the blue and white porcelain teacup that had been swept to the dustpan on the ground, his face was not obvious, but his heart was sneering.

Huang Shangshu often said, "A shaft of Huang Ting never gets tired of looking, and every poem bag tea vessel is carried", the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that he loved tea, but he didn't know that he loved so casually.

"Qi'er, I don't know if it's because I've been sitting for a long time, my mother's legs and feet are a little soft, you help your mother to go behind the screen, okay?" Huang Yilian suddenly frowned and came over, although he was asking, he grabbed Nalan Qi tightly and dragged her towards the screen.

Xu was pulling too tightly, Nalan Qi snorted, but she was not angry, raised her eyes to look at her stepmother, and nodded obediently.

"Concubine, Yuze, Mrs. Li is the head of today's great Confucianism, and the saint often praises him for 'full of economy, Bogu Tongjin', don't be restrained when you two meet." Huang Yilian walked half the way, paused, and said with a smile to his pair of children.

"Mother, I see." Hearing this, Nalan Yu agreed coquettishly, and then turned her eyes and glanced at Nalan Qi quickly, and said with some grievances on her face: "Sister, I used to serve my mother when she was uncomfortable, but now that you are here, I have fallen out of favor." You have to be with your mother behind the screen, don't let down her pampering heart. ”

"My sister is really joking, how can a child disrespect his mother?" Nalan Qi's face remained unchanged, and he teased gently, but in his heart he was very disdainful of the mother and daughter. Huang Yilian wants to take advantage of his mother's momentum to connect with Mrs. Li and pave the way for a pair of children, which is understandable. But she was afraid that her six-year-old child would get cheap, so she changed her way to drive herself away, which was really a little childish.

Nalan Qi suddenly remembered her previous life, when she was young and reckless, and her disgust for her stepmother's entry was on her face, and she directly refused to go back to the door. Mrs. Nalan thought that she had been provoked by the nurse, and punished the nurse by throwing away her dowry. It's a pity that he ended up chic for a while, but he missed the life of the nurse.

In the last life, Huang Yilian did pave a broad road for his sons and daughters. After she returned home, she told the eldest lady with a smile, saying that Nalan Yuze and Nalan Yu were appreciated by Mrs. Li because of their talent and quick thinking. Taifu even wrote a letter of recommendation for them to go to Guozijian to study.
