Chapter 198
Sang Yu didn't know that one of her big troubles was completely solved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was distressed.
After Qiao Mufeng left, she kept a bitter face, gifts, what should she prepare.
But Mama Wang said that cooking in person is definitely not possible.
First of all, she is not good at cooking, and the things she makes are not delicious at all. Something that is not delicious must be a torment for General Qiao, who is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Of course, maybe he will feel very moved, and children who have lacked love since childhood will be like this. But she couldn't guarantee that the general would finish eating what she had prepared and wouldn't run to the room all night.
It's funny to think about, it's an unforgettable birthday gift.
Secondly, considering her cooking skills, let Fanxing come to the kitchen to help, but is the thing that comes out of this still made by her?
She is not good at chopping vegetables, and she is not good at stir-frying.
What's more, after eating the feast, is there still room in the stomach of the general to eat what she made?
Mama Wang is right, no matter how valuable the gift is, you must have a heart.
"Ding Lan."
Sang Yu shouted outward.
After a while, I saw a girl with a goose egg face in a light blue dress walk in. Ding Lan smiled and blessed Sang Yu, "Madam, what are your orders?" ”
She looks white and clean, her eyes are clear, she smiles lightly, and there are two deep dimples at the corners of her mouth, which looks particularly pleasing.
Sang Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "You go and open the door of the warehouse, let's go to the warehouse and have a look." ”
Maybe there's something strange in her dowry that could be used as a birthday gift.
Ding Lan was steady, and Sang Yu handed over the key to the treasury to her. In that warehouse, there was not only her dowry at that time, but also the dowry given by Qiao Mufeng. Because she didn't have any relatives, she was carried to the general's mansion with the dowry at that time, and the registration was made, a thick one, and Mama Wang also let her have a purpose at that time, so she casually turned a few pages and threw it aside.
That's a lot, how long will it take.
She originally kept the key herself, but threw it in the yellow fragrant wood box, and was told by Mama Wang several times, so she was so annoyed that she threw it to Ding Lan, the most stable of several maids, and asked her to keep it.
Ding Lan was surprised, but still smiled and agreed. called Fanyue to come in again and comb Sang Yu's hair and change clothes.
The group walked towards the warehouse where Sang Yu placed his things.
The warehouse is in a small courtyard behind Yuluoxuan, paved with bluestone, and there are a few pomegranate trees planted in the yard, which are full of red and bright pomegranates. An osmanthus tree in the corner of the wall grows particularly luxuriantly, and among the dark green leaves, clusters of small yellow flowers are dotted like grains of rice, and you can smell an intoxicating aroma from afar.
There were two mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard, and when they saw Sang Yu, they were busy squatting and saluting, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Sang Yu asked the accompanying maids and mothers-in-law to stay in the courtyard, and only let the lilac and the moon and the moon go in with her.
Fanxing researches new dim sum recipes in the kitchen, and every foodie is actually a potential master.
There was a big brass lock on the door of the storeroom. Ding Lan took a large bunch of keys from his waist, found one of them, and twisted the keyhole a few times before opening the door, and the big brass lock was still hanging on the door.
The inside was clean, there was no dust at all, and through the glazed tiles of the roof, there were fine pieces of sunlight shining in.
Lilac opened the window and propped it up with a stick, and in an instant the room was lit up.
She lowered the window screen, which would block out the sunlight but not make the room look dark.
Because the treasury is mostly valuable, among which there are many kinds of antiquities, rare and precious medicinal materials, can not be irradiated by the sun, only on the walls of the four corners of the night pearl hanging, above the head of the mulberry jade, a big night pearl, is exuding a soft light.
The warehouse is not open fire, and the family mostly uses night pearl lighting.
Lilac opened the window, also to make the air in the storeroom less dull.
"It's so clean."
Sang Yu touched the Duobao Pavilion standing against the wall, the brown sour branch wood had a thick and simple feeling, and it was spotless.
Ding Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "There are people who come to clean the warehouse every day, and the slaves and maids are all personally guarding them, and when they are done, the slaves and maids will carefully check it again to make sure that it is clean, and then lock the door again." ”
Not only cleaning, but also regularly find someone to maintain, jade antiques, unique calligraphy and painting, gem utensils, silk and satin, but they are all different.
Sang Yu casually picked up a small boxwood box on the shelf, and the box was carved with exquisite peony flowers, the peonies were so vivid that even the stamens could be seen clearly.
Gently opened, there is a jade pendant of fish playing lotus leaves lying on the silk inside, the jade is snow-white, not stained with a trace of impurities, and there is a very moist feeling under the soft light of the night pearl.
Mama Wang stood behind Sang Yu, looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and said with a smile, "This jade pendant of the Lotus Leaf is the dowry when the general married his wife at that time. Mrs. looks at this jade pendant is smooth and white, it is the best Hetian jade, look at this lotus leaf and even the fine texture veins can be seen clearly, the carp body of the fish scales, such a delicate carving, only the contemporary jade carving master Liu Yucheng can do it. ”
Sang Yu took out the jade pendant and took a closer look at the brilliance of the night pearl, and sure enough, as Mama Wang said, it was fresh and elegant, and extremely meticulous.
Any jade pendant has such a origin, Sang Yu only felt disappointed in his heart, put the jade pendant back in the box and put it up, Lilac took it, and carefully and gently put it back on the shelf.
The shelves are mostly placed with jade antiques, and there are several pairs of one-person high bottles standing on the wall, which are either tattooed with the pattern of gold filament entwined branches and plum blossoms, or the rich flowers are gorgeous and colorful, or decorated with various colored gemstones, which are gorgeous and dazzling and valuable.
Sang Yu walked silently.
I feel more and more lost.
Mama Wang and Ding Lan glanced at each other, Ding Lan shook her head gently, and then walked a few steps briskly and followed behind Sang Yu.
"If Madame wants to find something, you might as well tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will help Madame find it together."
Sang Yu turned to look at her with a look of resentment.
"Mrs. Ben thought about coming to the treasury to see if she could pick something for the general."
"Ugh."
She let out a long sigh, and everything was silent.
Ding Lan stopped talking, and even Mama Wang was helpless.
Madame's background is not good, where can she compare to the general's mansion. Many of the things in this house were the dowry of the general's wife, and they were all selected from the treasury of the general's mansion or from the general's own private collection.
Now that it's the general's birthday, it's better to send these things back again.
This is too perfunctory.
Sang Yu silently walked around the room, the warehouse inside was full of some unique books of calligraphy and paintings, she didn't understand these, just like those paintings, she also thought the paintings were good, but she insisted that she tell what was good, and she couldn't say why.
As for those lonely books, forget it, she is not from this world at all, she has only been here for more than two years, and she has been working hard to live for the first two years to avoid starving to death, how can she have time to pay attention to historical things.
Silently rolling a landscape painting back into the long sandalwood box, Sang Yu walked to another grid and picked up a small purple-black palm-sized box.
There was no pattern engraved on the small box, and Sang Yu touched the texture of the wood of the box itself, and felt that it was quite handy.
Gently opened, inside was a piece of orange-red stone.
It is square, one finger long, smooth and moist to the touch.
It is the engraved Shoushan bloodstone.
Sang Yu's eyes lit up, and he turned around with the box and asked Mama Wang, "Mama, how about I engrave a seal for the general?" ”
Her eyes were like stars, her red lips were slightly open, and her face was full of surprise. Under the light of the soft night pearl, it is delicate and lovely like jade.
Without waiting for Mama Wang to speak, Sang Yu made a decision.
"Ding Lan, you go and look for it, there are any materials for carving seals, whether it is jade, wood, agate or something, if there are good ones, they will also pick out some for Mrs. Ben."
Ding Lan smiled and responded.
Mama Wang watched Sang Yu instruct Ding Lan Lilac Fanyue to be busy looking for things, she walked to Sang Yu's side and asked, "Madame, but it's decided?" ”
Sang Yu turned her head to look at her and nodded solemnly, "Of course." ”
In this way, Mama Wang didn't say much.
Of course, Sang Yu knew that Mama Wang was worried, but she just didn't say it.
Secretly proud in my heart.
Hmph, don't think she knows nothing but weaving.
You know, there was a time when she fell in love with carving, and her grandmother invited her to be a teacher.
Sang Yu took a few girls away, each holding a carved wooden box in her hand.
Mama Wang followed behind Sang Yu, frowning and pondering, worried, but seeing that Madame was full of confidence, she still didn't say anything, anyway, Madame just carved it badly, and the general would be very happy. If the lady is not satisfied with the seal, it is a big deal that she will go to the treasury to look for it, or ask the lady to embroider a purse or something, and the general will not care about it.
Sang Yu didn't care about Mama Wang's heart, and walked in the forefront in a good mood.
When I returned to Yuluoxuan, Fanxing's newly made dim sum happened to be out of the cage. Seeing that Sang Yuhao came back, the little girl was so happy that her eyes narrowed, and after saluting, she went to the kitchen to serve a new snack.
Sang Yu ate several pieces very hard, Lilac poured her a cup of tea, and Sang Yu slowly took a sip.
Her mouth was filled with the fragrance of tea, and she sighed in satisfaction.
When Ding Lan found the tools for carving the seal, Sang Yu drove several maids out of the room, and ordered that no one was allowed to come in.
In the carved corridor, Fanyue whispered, "Do you think Madame really knows how to carve seals?" ”
They all know that Madame can weave cloth, but no one has ever seen Madame engrave a seal.
Besides, Madame's delicate hands don't look like they hold a carving knife.
Ding Lan glanced at the main house, the carved wooden window was open, and he could only see Sang Yu sitting on a chair with his back to the window, holding something in his hand.
She pursed her lips, her voice was light, with a little smile, "Could it be that it has anything to do with it, our general is still so many medals away?" The general loves his wife so much, that is, his wife only gives him a piece of wood with an engraved seal, and the general is also a baby. ”
Fanxing also nodded, "I think it's not okay for Madam to send a stone, if the carving chapter hurts his hand, the general should be distressed again." ”
When she said this, the other three were visibly stunned.
Ding Lan was the first to get up, and then Lilac Fanyue followed closely and hurriedly walked in the direction of the main house.
Fanxingmeng, hurry up and catch up, "Fanyue, what are you doing here?" ”
She pulled Fanyue's sleeve, Fanyue glared at her with hatred, a little girl who has no heart, she only knows how to eat all day long.
Seeing that her eyes were round, black and white, she looked dazed.
Fanyue sighed helplessly, and whispered, "As you just said, if Madame hurts her hand, not only the general will be distressed, but we are Madame's eldest maid, Mama Fu can explain to us, saying that you must take a good look at Madame." ”
Fanxing blinked, looked at Lilac Dinglan who was anxiously walking around on the stone steps in front of him, and said with an innocent face, "However, Madame has already closed the door." ”
Fanyue looked up and saw that the carved door that was originally wide open was closed at this time, and she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
In the end, Mama Wang came, and Sang Yu didn't open the door.
only said in a crisp voice inside, "Don't worry, Mama Wang, Mrs. Ben is measured." ”
Mama Wang breathed a sigh of relief, if Mrs. really didn't know how to engrave the seal, she wouldn't have thought of giving her own hand-engraved seal.
Before this heart was completely put down, I heard a crisp voice inside, "Mrs. Ben remembers that there is still a white jade paste rewarded by the emperor in the box, and Mrs. Ben will remember to use it." ”
Mama Wang's body stiffened, and she only felt dizzy.
Sang Yu took a charcoal pen to trace on the stone, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and his eyes were dark and clear, like a cunning kitten. Listening to Mama Wang's persuasion outside the door, Sang Yu put down the things in her hand, walked over and opened the door, and Mama Wang looked at her in surprise.
"Mama, just rest assured, I won't hurt myself."
Before Mama Wang could express her hard work, Sang Yu quickly finished speaking, and then slammed the door shut again.
Ding Lan looked at Mama Wang with a cute face, "Mama, what should I do?" ”
Mama Wang wanted to cry without tears, she just wanted to say, let me die.
An hour later, Sang Yu stretched his waist, and his hands were a little sore. Put the charcoal back in the box, and it was not too early to see that it was dark outside, and it was estimated that Qiao Mufeng should also come back. Pack everything up and hide it in a small cabinet under the dresser.
before opening the door.
Mama Wang had been waiting outside, and when she saw Sang Yu come out, she was so moved that tears were about to fall.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Sang Yu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a big smile. Ten fingers shook a few times in front of Mama Wang, and the snow-white and tender fingers were blackened with charcoal.
"It's okay, Mrs. Ben is fine."
Seeing that Mama Wang was still worried, Sang Yu said in a very good mood, "Mama is still not at ease, let Lilac bring water in a while, I will wash my hands cleanly, and Mama will check it again." ”
"It definitely didn't hurt."
I didn't use a knife, so how could I get hurt.
Mama Wang nodded solemnly, "The old slave must take a good look." ”
He called Lilac again to bring water.
Waiting for Sang Yu to wash his hands, the night pearl illuminated the room transparently and brightly, and the ten fingers were as white as jade.
Seeing that there were no scars, Mama Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I persuaded for a long time uneasily, until she heard the little girl outside shouting to the general to say goodbye, she closed her mouth.
Sang Yu had already said that no one was allowed to say anything about her preparation of gifts for the general.
To surprise the general.
When Qiao Mufeng came in, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.
Sang Yu sat on the couch with a straight face, and Mama Wang stood next to her with a slight bow, her face a little worried.
"What's going on?"
He has always been cold, and when he doesn't speak, he also makes people feel heavy pressure, at this time his voice is cold, and his eyes look at Mama Wang as if they are cold, Mama Wang's face suddenly turned a little pale, and even her body trembled.
Sang Yu saw it, hurriedly jumped off the couch, and ran in front of Qiao Mufeng in a few steps to block his gaze.
Her eyes were clear, her ruddy mouth was slightly pursed, and her skin was as white as jade, and she was looking up at him at this time.
"Nothing. It was my grandmother who saw that I had just eaten a few pieces of dim sum and thought that I was about to have dinner, so she persuaded me to eat less. I'm not happy to be angry with my grandmother. ”
He turned to Mama Wang and said, "Mama, it was Mrs. Ben who was wrong, and she will definitely listen to Mama in the future." Mama, don't be angry, okay. I think Brother Ming is also hungry, so Mama should go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready. ”
Watching Mama Wang's footsteps, she went out a little weakly.
Sang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Qiao Mufeng to sit on the chair and speak.
But said that Mama Wang went out, only to feel that her forehead was full of sweat, and she couldn't help sighing, just now at the general's glance, she only felt stiff, and her heart was about to jump out.
It's scary.
Fortunately, Madame let her out, but I am afraid that if I stay any longer, she will not even be able to stand firmly. (To be continued.) )
