Chapter 8 Mrs. Mao
Jiang Li sighed when he saw Jiang Qu, and said, "Why don't you say a few more words to her in the end, isn't your mouth the most indiscriminate." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jiang Qu looked at the ground, feeling a little guilty in his heart. "I don't know what to say."
Changsheng's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground in a cold sweat. Jiang Li and the others thought that she was frightened by the ugly appearance of the two Yakshas, although she was seeking the Tao in Kunlun Mountain, after all, she was just a teenage girl.
Sima Luming wanted to help her up, but Qian Ruyue pulled Gu Changsheng up one step ahead of him, and gritted her teeth in her ear and whispered a warning, "Didn't I tell you not to pretend to be pitiful in front of my cousin." ”
Hexagram Liao was bouncing, he smelled the smell of Changsheng and Sima Luming, and knew that they were both in the hall. He hid behind the door, unable to hide the child's heart, revealing a pair of big round eyes and looking in, thinking about it for a while, and suddenly jumping in was scary.
Jiang Qu has to say that cute children are more popular than beautiful men, at least his mother and sister are already eager to hold the hexagram in their arms and pinch his face.
Jiang Qu said, "If you want to hide and seek, don't call your daughter-in-law so loudly next time." ”
Seeing that he was discovered, he threw himself into Changsheng's arms and said, "Daughter-in-law, Hexagram Liao is back, do you want to hexagram Liao." ”
Changsheng knew that if the two Yaksha hadn't avoided the hexagram, he might have recognized her. I thought that after I went back, I must make a lot of delicious food for the hexagram to repay him. Jiang Xianyue saw that the origin of the hexagram was extraordinary, and stepped forward to make a gesture against the hexagram.
Changsheng said, "This is Jiang Qu's father. ”
Hexagram Liao blinked widely, and the smell of the yaksha in the hall had not yet dissipated, so he pinched his nose and shouted, "It stinks, it stinks, the crazy woman's fart stinks more than the pit." ”
This fairy tale made everyone laugh dumbly.
Qian Ruyue stomped her foot and scolded, "You just fart." ”
Lian Yu said, "Why are you so stingy, it's just a child, and you are also careful." ”
Qian Ruyue said, "It's not you who he's scolding, of course you don't care." ”
Jiang Xianyue ordered someone to cut Lu Youzhao's nails, and told them to bask in the sun more after dawn, at least for two hours, and then let them disperse.
Changsheng pulled the hexagram back to the room, although Jiang Qu's matter had been resolved smoothly, it didn't matter if the Dragon King had asked anything to Yue Lao, but she still asked, "Have you seen your grandfather?" ”
Gua Liao shook his head, "Grandpa is not here, Prime Minister Gui said that the heavenly general came to the heavenly court and summoned grandpa to heaven." ”
Changsheng remembered what the two Yaksha said just now, saying that Emperor Dongyue had also summoned the Ten Halls Yan Jun, but he didn't know what was going on, and he was uneasy in his heart......
Mrs. Jiang found a few clothes from Jiang Qu's childhood and gave them to Hexagram Liao. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is slightly cool, although the hexagram is not afraid of cold at all, there is no mortal suffering from cold. But on this day, letting him hang around in a small belly pocket is still too eye-catching.
Mrs. Jiang smiled, "You come to the imperial capital for the first time, and you will go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival." What's the fun of staying in the house all day, go outside and play. ”
Lian Yu hugged Jiang Qu's arm and shook it, "Yes, junior brother, you said that you want to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Take us to see the scenery and prosperity of this imperial capital. ”
Jiang Qu wanted to pull away Lianyu's hand, but found that Lianyu was holding his arm so tightly that he couldn't pull it away at all, and he covered his mouth and snickered.
They also invited Jiang Li, but Jiang Li wanted to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, saying that he couldn't leave.
The street is already preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival night market, and there are many lantern shops, all of which have hung up the lanterns they have made. Gua Liao was very happy to see all kinds of snacks on the street, he stared at the sugar gourd in the vendor's hand with drooling, and looked at Changsheng pitifully with a flat mouth.
Changsheng smiled and took out the money from the money bag and gave it to him.
Hexagram Liao took the money and happily went to buy sugar gourds.
Jiang Qu saw the Buddha beads on her wrist, "When did you buy this Buddha beads?" ”
Changsheng touched the Buddha bead and said, "This was given to me by a master from the past. "It was given by the monk who caught demons with Xi Zixu Sima Luming when he was in Yang's Mansion, and she kept this Buddha bead all the time, and when she packed up her baggage, she found that she had brought it out together. I heard that Buddhist beads seem to be able to drive away evil spirits and cure ghosts, so I put them on my hands.
Qian Ruyue wasn't very interested in those lanterns or anything, so she looked at a silk shop in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she ran in to look at the silk.
The signboard of the silk shop was covered with the logo of Sima Villa, Jiang Qu looked at Sima Luming and said with a smile, "I'm about to forget that you are a young master Sima with a big family, and I haven't shown any filial piety in the past few years since I left home, how about sending me a few pieces of good satin and letting me borrow flowers and offer Buddha back to send my mother and sister?" ”
Sima Luming didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Qian Ruyue entered the store and revealed her identity to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper did not dare to slack off, and quickly asked the guy to prepare tea, and asked the best goods in the store to be taken out for Qian Ruyue to pick slowly.
Changsheng sat down and looked at the dazzling array of fabrics in the store in a daze.
Jiang Qu pointed to Qian Ruyue and Changsheng and said, "I know why the Sima family can make a fortune, you see that this woman is simply blue when she sees silk, men are desperate to earn silver, women are desperate to spend silver, how can you not be rich." Why don't you go and pick a piece? Anyway, it's counted in the account of Senior Brother Lu Ming. ”
Changsheng shook his head, "It's not convenient to wear such good clothes to work. ”
Jiang Qu concluded, "You're really working hard. "How can there be a girl like her who doesn't like to dress up, doesn't wipe rouge and gouache, and doesn't have more hairpins, so she wants to work and work.
Lianyu hugged a piece of navy blue material and gestured on her body, "Senior brother, you said that I cut this satin into two clothes, and you and I will do it well." ”
Jiang Qu said categorically, "It's not good. ”
Lian Yu said, "You don't like this color, do you, then I'll pick another one." He squeezed next to Qian Ruyue with great interest and grabbed the fabric with her.
Jiang Qu held his forehead, if he continued like this, he would probably go crazy and hit the wall. He asked Sima Luming, "Your Taoism is better than mine, you can see if Senior Brother is evil in the end." ”
The corners of Sima Luming's mouth were slightly hooked, "I can't see that he has evil spirits." ”
Lianyu was abnormal for a few days, and after Changsheng tried to get used to it, he accepted it. "Although Senior Brother Lianyu is a little different, he also cares about you. Didn't the head of the family say that there should be harmony and love between senior brothers, and there is nothing wrong with senior brothers doing this. ”
Jiang Qu raised his eyebrows and said, "I can't make sense with you." ”
Qian Ruyue pointed to an apricot-colored fabric on the cabinet, the guy in the store stepped on a low stool to get it, and he was just enough to take it down, but his eyes didn't know what he saw, and he was fascinated.
Changsheng followed his line of sight and saw a woman with heavy makeup swaying her willow waist, followed by a maid, and a Luo fan painted with a water hibiscus in her hand walked in. She painted Kodan on all ten fingers, and helped the enamel flower hairpin on her sideburns, and her posture was very sultry.
The shopkeeper was also obsessed with watching, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Madame is here to pick up the Bo Luo robe ordered a few days ago." ”
The woman looked forward to the brilliance, and Yingying Qiubo swept over Jiang Qu Sima Luming's body, and responded softly, "Hmm." ”
The shopkeeper took the clothes from the cupboard. The maid took it, bowed her head and followed the woman into the inner room, presumably to go in to try on clothes.
Jiang Qu said curiously, "Which official lady is this, I can see that you are losing your souls one by one." ”
The shopkeeper remembered that the owner was still there, but he was a little embarrassed, so he whispered, "It's not an official's wife, it's the concubine of the largest porcelain merchant in the city who just married into the door." The porcelain merchant's surname was Mao, and he was also poor and white when he was young, and then he didn't know what good luck he had, he married a young lady from a rich family and became rich, and he made a fortune in the porcelain business with his wife's mother's family. It's just that he is nearly thirty years old and has nothing to do, and then he took a concubine, and it was the one inside. ”
Jiang Qu smiled, "It's really beautiful." "At least it's pleasing to the eye.
When Lianyu heard Jiang Qu praise the woman's beauty, she said unhappily, "I see that she is charming and charming, and she doesn't look like a serious person." ”
The shopkeeper said, "The second lady Mao in it is indeed from a flower girl, but she is very favored." I always come to our shop two or three times a month to order clothes, and I am also a big customer. ”
The maid of the second lady of Mao came out of the inner room and said to Changsheng, "My wife wants to ask the girl to come in and do a little favor." ”
Jiang Qu smiled, "What's the little favor?" I can help too. ”
The maid said, "It's not convenient for the son to go in." ”
Changsheng thought that if she could help, it would be a good deed to help others. She went into the inner room. The second lady Mao was pulling the belt, and when she came in, she smiled and said, "I can't tie this belt well, and this maid I brought is clumsy, and the more she helps, the more she helps." I cheekily asked her to ask the girl to come in and help me take a look, and I was troubled by the girl. ”
Changsheng said gently, "No. ”
"I don't know if I've been eating too much lately and getting fat. The belt and clothes that I just made don't fit very well. ”
Changsheng walked over, took the jade-inlaid belt and wrapped it around the lady's waist, and easily tied the belt, just right. "Alright."
"What a clever girl." Second Lady Mao's glass-like eyes stared at Changsheng's eyes without moving, and her eyes were faintly red.
Changsheng looked into her eyes and said kindly, "Madam, your eyes are a little red, are your mouth dry and on fire?" You can make some chrysanthemum tea to drink, or eat more bitter gourd. ”
The corners of Second Madam Mao's eyes twitched, "The girl still understands medical skills." ”
Changsheng smiled, "No, it's just that my master is also often on fire, so I know a little." ”
The second lady of Mao smiled forcefully, and took Changsheng's hand to thank her, but when she touched the Buddha beads under her long sleeves, she quickly retracted her hand as if she had burned her hand. Six furry tails were exposed, one of them swept over Changsheng's feet, Changsheng lowered his head, only to see a black shadow shrinking into the skirt of Second Lady Mao.
"Something seems to have gotten into your skirt, ma'am, probably a mouse." Ordinary girls may be afraid of snakes and insects, but Changsheng is not afraid, and wants to lift Mrs. Mao's skirt as she speaks.
Second Mrs. Mao covered her buttocks, afraid that Changsheng would really lift her skirt, "It's the girl, you are mistaken, how can there be rats in this place so clean." ”
"No, I really look ......"
"My lord is still waiting for me to go back, thank you girl, this is my little heart, I hope you don't refuse." Mrs. Mao asked her maid to take out the silver as a reward, lifted the curtain and left the store in a hurry.
She wanted to say that there was no need to give a reward for this little thing, but when she chased out, Mrs. Mao and her maid were gone. She stared blankly at the broken silver in her hand, and Sima Luming asked, "Is there anything wrong with the ingot?" ”
Changsheng said, "I just helped the lady tie her belt, and she gave me a reward of silver." She felt ashamed.
"Didn't the shopkeeper say, that lady's husband is a businessman, and he is favored and naturally generous, since she gives it to you, you will accept it." Jiang Qu walked to the cabinet, touched his chin and swept all the colors and patterns of fabric on the cabinet, took out one of them, and circled Changsheng's body, "You should also make a new dress, you see, how beautiful." ”
It was a pink piece of cloth with a lotus pattern. Practicing martial arts and working every day on the mountain, the sun is indispensable, and Changsheng has not deliberately prevented the scorching sun. She just doesn't tan, but the longer she grows, the whiter and more tender she becomes. The pale pink color wrapped around her, reflecting her face like a peach and plum.
Jiang Quzheng felt that he had a good vision, and he wanted to buy the cloth for her. A girl is born with a beautiful appearance and a moon appearance, and it is too wasteful to wear coarse linen clothes every day.
When Qian Ruyue saw it, she threw down the cloth in her hand and came over to grab it, "I want this horse." ”
Jiang Qu felt that she was unreasonable, "This is what I took first, there must be a first come, first come." ”
Qian Ruyue grabbed the fabric and didn't let go, "You didn't give the silver, not to mention that this shop belongs to Sima Villa." ”
Lian Yu also threw away the cloth in her hand, grabbed the end of the cloth, and said, "You didn't give you any money, you are the senior sister of Senior Brother Lu Ming, and we are the senior brother of Senior Brother Lu Ming, why do you want to give this cloth to you." Don't give. ”
Qian Ruyue's mouth was unscrupulous, "Why are you becoming more and more like a woman, you hate it when you look at it." ”
Lianyu was also angry, pushed Jiang Qu away, and scolded Qian Ruyue, "You say I'm like a woman!" I'm so heroic, where do I look like a woman! He pulled the silk even harder, planning to rather lose both than give Qian Ruyue.
Jiang Qu made a silent gesture to the shopkeeper and his buddy, secretly pulled up Changsheng, beckoned to Sima Luming, and walked out of the store. Lianyu and Qian Ruyue scolded and were so engrossed that they didn't notice them at all.
Without those two people, Jiang Qu felt that his body was a lot easier, and he was entangled by his senior sister and sister a lot, but now that he was entangled by his senior brother, he was chilled.
"It's still them to visit theirs, let's visit ours." Anyway, if you catch a passer-by on the road and ask, you know where Si Tianjian Jiang's family is, so you are not afraid that they will get lost.
Changsheng said, "Senior Brother Lianyu will be sad. ”
Jiang Qu raised his eyebrows, "If Senior Brother is not sad, he will make me sad." ”
Sima Luming smiled, Jiang Qu now wants to avoid the feeling of pity for the jade, just like a mouse wants to hide from the cat.
Hexagram Liao hugged a bunch of snacks and followed the taste of immortality.
Changsheng didn't expect him to buy so much food, so he hurriedly helped him get a little, "Can you finish eating." "It's not that I feel sorry for the silver, I'm afraid that he will waste it.
Jiang Qu grabbed a few pieces of osmanthus cake from her hand to eat, and said with a smile, "He can't finish eating, let's help eat it." This imperial capital is prosperous, and the food is also varied. Although I haven't been back for so many years, I still remember that those restaurants have the best food, and I will take you to have a good meal. ”
Jiang Qu took them to a small shop specializing in steamed new chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, there was a long queue in front of the shop, business was booming, Jiang Qu said, "The proprietress of this shop specializes in collecting osmanthus flowers in this season, invaded with sugar, and then stirred with glutinous rice to steam, and then sandwiched chestnut powder in it, which is very delicious." ”
