058 birthday
On my birthday, the sky was clear, the south wind was warm, and the sky was clear.
The whole house was full of joy.
Zhu Wei rushed back from other places on this day to celebrate his birthday.
Early in the morning, the owner of Changle Pavilion carefully groomed the mirror, thinking of the son of the Ming family, it was really a month of not seeing each other.
In the bronze mirror, her face was full of red light, sweeping away the previous haze, she must show her best self in front of Uncle Ming. This time, maybe the old lady will mention her family affairs, Uncle Ming saved her innocence at night, and it is not customary not to marry him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Bi bit the handkerchief in the mirror, and his face seemed to be dyed with a sunset.
"Ah, why is my face not white at all, a little more powder." Zhu Bi looked at the red face in the bronze mirror and commanded Chun Tao. Ming Gongzi is a famous person in the world, and her style must be transcendent and unconventional, her face must not be stained with secular red, she must appear white and refined, in order to get Ming Gongzi's care. Chun Tao applied another layer of white incense powder, and she felt satisfied when she looked at it.
"Pavilion Master, what outfit are you going to wear on the birthday of the eldest prince?" Qiu Tao was followed by two little girls, each holding a set of newly made skirts, and asked happily.
Zhu Bi looked at Qiu Tao's face full of sunshine, glanced at her, looked at the clothes in the hands of the two girls, and said, "I remember that I made four sets during the change of seasons, why only two sets?" ”
Qiu Tao held back a smile and reminded: "Last time, the old lady and Mrs. Guo mentioned that the four sets of clothes of the pavilion master in the future will be halved, and only two sets will be made, and the remaining two sets have been allocated to the Yi'an pavilion master in that courtyard. ”
Zhu Bi heard this, got up, casually lifted a set of pink skirts, and turned over the set of blue shirts, his face slowly sank, Qiu Tao knows her girl's temper best, and a storm is coming soon.
Zhu Bi dropped his clothes, suddenly snatched the girl's tray and smashed it down on the girl, and the other tray smashed into Qiu Tao.
"Are you demonstrating to me? I still think that I am not the owner of the township now, and dare to bully me! Zhu Bi said angrily.
Qiu Tao's legs were weak, she knelt on the ground, and argued bluntly: "The slave doesn't dare." The pavilion lord was angry. ”
Qiu Tao screamed bitterly in her heart, this is the old lady's decision, and she dares to say anything, not to mention that the specifications of the pavilion master are two sets in one season, and the title of the lord and viscount has been demoted, and she will only be angry with their maids.
Zhu Bi raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a sneer, only to see a palace flower inserted in her snail, which she had rewarded in the past, and she didn't wear it on weekdays, but she took it out and put it on her eldest brother's birthday, what is her intention? She combed a strand of long hair on her chest and smiled slowly, "What do you call that maid?" ”
Qiu Tao was stunned for a moment, knowing the reason for his master's anger, his face slowly stiffened, and a faint voice came out of his throat: "Lord Yi'an Pavilion." ”
"Palm!" Zhu Bi dropped the comb and stared at the palace flower on her snail bun and let out a sneer.
The Pavilion Lord and the Seven Girls have always been incompatible, water and fire are incompatible, last time because of the painting of the Seven Girls, Zhu Bi was reduced from the township owner to the Pavilion Lord, and all the maidservants called the Seven Girls in front of the Pavilion Lord.
But today, Qiu Tao got carried away with joy because Uncle Ming was coming at night, and calling that concubine Yi'an Pavilion Master is not equivalent to hitting the mouth of the Changle Pavilion Lord.
At this time, even Chun Tao didn't dare to intercede for Qiu Tao.
This is the minefield of the Lord of Changle Pavilion, and no one dares to say more.
Qiu Tao didn't dare to quibble anymore, and slapped herself fiercely, and in an instant, one side of her face was swollen and red.
Qiu Tao asked the Pavilion Master with her eyes, meaning that she had beaten hard enough, and the Pavilion Master had lost her anger.
The corners of Zhu Bi's mouth twitched, and there was a chill in his voice, as if he was pinching an ant, and said lightly: "Palm your mouth again, dare not listen to the master's orders, did I let you stop?" ”
In the silent house, only Qiu Tao's palm mouth was heard, and gradually the sound became smaller and smaller, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she couldn't do it in pain.
Chun Tao couldn't look past it after all, and said softly: "Pavilion master, Qiu Tao lost her words for a while, she has already remembered the memory of the chief, it is better to spare her this time." ”
Qiu Tao also kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Pavilion master, the slave knows that she is wrong, it was that concubine who made the pavilion master so angry." Ask the pavilion master to spare me this time. ”
"Come here." Zhu Bi's cold voice did not have a trace of warmth, and just three words made her tremble.
Qiu Tao trembled and knelt down, moved forward, and took a step closer to her.
"Come closer!" Zhu Bi scolded in annoyance.
Qiu Tao had no choice but to move forward again, not knowing what was about to happen. Her heart was beating a drum, fierce and auspicious, I wanted Uncle Ming to come at night today, the pavilion owner was in a good mood, he would not lose his temper, who wanted to take her early in the morning, she closed her eyes, crossed her heart, lowered her head, and resigned herself to fate like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
A hand stroked her bun, and suddenly pulled off the palace flower on the bun, the palace flower was a new pattern in the palace, made of silk yarn, and tied with copper needles underneath, which was given to them by the previous pavilion owner.
Originally, he was going to reward the girls in the house, but the pavilion owner stopped him and directly rewarded the girls and maids, and the concubine was not worthy.
Suddenly, a heart-piercing pain surged into Qiu Tao's heart, and the pavilion owner grabbed the copper needle of the palace flower and poked her back.
She was so pained that she couldn't cry.
"Pavilion master, the slave knows that she is wrong, please ask the pavilion master to spare her life!" Qiu Tao said with a crying voice, she could feel a stream of blood gushing out of her back, wetting the clothes she had just put on.
Zhu Bi threw down the palace flower and said angrily: "Get out!" Kneel in the courtyard, and get up without my command! ”
Qiu Tao got up tremblingly, with tears on her face, and retreated very embarrassed, kneeling in the corner of the courtyard.
"You deserve it, dare to make the pavilion master angry, and live impatiently." The little girls at the bottom scolded, they all wanted to take advantage of this to get on the throne, if Qiu Tao fell out of favor, there would be a lack of a second-class girl in the pavilion owner's house, this was a good time for them to take the position.
Chun Tao looked at Qiu Tao's pale face sympathetically, her back was still bleeding, and she couldn't help but give a look to Aunt Lan, who smiled knowingly: "Pavilion master, Qiu Tao's girl has always been favored by you, and suddenly because that concubine was so wronged, it is not a good thing for the pavilion owner." It's better to have someone dress her wound first and kneel for an hour, after all, she has served the pavilion master for several years, and she has no merit and hard work. ”
Zhu Bi remembered that when she first met Uncle Ming in the Qingfeng Pavilion that day, Qiu Tao was already a complete gaffe in front of her, and she sneered: "It's just spoiled, so I was blind." You tell her, don't be delusional, what kind of identity Uncle Ming is, she doesn't deserve to see her at all, the toad wants to eat swan meat, only one death, I don't want to die, today I repented in the ear room one day, I was not allowed to eat, I was hungry for a day, I knew what she was! ”
