The afternoon sun shone on Ah Xiu's yard, and a few golden cinnamon plants were opened as if nothing, plus the two laurels that bloomed earlier, and the fragrance of blooming filled the entire courtyard. Ah Xiu finally got better, looking at the courtyard he hadn't seen for a long time, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun had already sent troops to conquer Luzhou, and Xu Da led his division to follow Jing, Hu and other places. The day before yesterday, Mrs. Xiangguo sent someone to send Zhu Wenzheng's reply, saying that she refused to send Tiezhu to Su Xin's side, but she first straightened Xie and gave Tiezhu to Xie to raise. Whether the birthday comes or not, it depends on whether there is leisure in Hongdu. Ah Xiu tactfully told Su Xin, Su Xin inevitably cried again, and Ah Xiu had to comfort her.

Look at the sky and smell the cinnamon. Sighing, I was about to walk down the steps, but I saw a person flashing behind the laurel tree, a moon-white thin material with a collar gown, a lake-green pleated skirt, an oblique cloud near a fragrant bun, an ordinary hosta on it, two small osmanthus flowers inserted between the temples, a plain jade pendant, looking beautiful and elegant. Ah Xiuzheng admired when there were such beauties in his courtyard, but when he looked closely, he was plain.

Su Xin was picking osmanthus flowers with a small basket, and when she turned her head and saw Ah Xiu standing lazily on the steps looking at herself, she couldn't help but smile a little shyly: "What is the princess standing there doing?" I saw that this flower was blooming just right, and I picked some soaked wine and stuffed duck to give the princess a taste, okay? Ah Xiu looked at the person in front of him, nodded with a smile, and then suddenly had mixed feelings: such a good person, just because he was a little easy-going, was bullied by the concubine and kicked out of the house. After thinking about it, although she has God's help, she has no choice but to come out, and she has a beautiful wife and concubine by her man's side, how much luckier can she be than her?

Ah Xiu's face darkened, but she didn't escape Su Xin's eyes, Su Xin put away the scissors, walked to the bottom of the steps, looked up and asked, "Madame, why don't you go out for a walk?" Now his stuffy face is pale, and he is emaciated. Su Xin combed the princess's hair and changed her clothes, and accompanied her wife to take a walk in the garden? Recently, in the small lake in the west, there are lake workers digging lotus roots, let's take a look? Ah Xiu thought about it, nodded, the two entered the room, Su Xin carefully untied Ah Xiu's hair, and while holding her hair, she looked at Ah Xiu in the mirror and said: "Madam has been sick for a long time, and her face is no longer bright, so bring the crown today, and it is good to mention her face." Luckily? ”

"I believe in your vision, dress up as you say." Ah Xiu also looked at Su Xin in the mirror, smiled gently, and lowered his head to choose the pendant. Su Xin opened the makeup of the golden silk nan wood carving, took two lotus crowns, thought about it, and chose the top hollow with fine cat's eyes, and put it on for Ah Xiu. The hair on both sides was lightly sipped with a little shavings water, and a gold-inlaid treasure lotus hairpin was inserted, a gold silk inlaid with jade peony Luan bird was distracted, a silver gilt inlaid with gold silk agate butterfly chased the flower and picked the heart, two silver gilt inlaid jade inlaid treasure butterfly pecking needles, and on both sides of each emerald sideburns, each with a tired silk golden phoenix swaying. Ah Xiu chose for a long time and wore a pair of pendants of golden butterflies, only to see the decorations on his head, and frowned slightly: "This is too fancy, take off a few." ”

Su Xin covered his mouth and smiled: "It's strange that people say that the jewelry master came to our house for nothing, and the princess is just a few pieces of jewelry, it's too much, this is just a custom style made when the prince called the king, and he has never brought it, is it difficult to bring it to be locked in the cabinet in vain and wasted?" For example, the owner of a large manor at home, who has good rice and white flour and does not eat it, locks it up and moldy, and prefers to eat old bud flour! Looking for plain hearts, if you have something, it's a pity that you can't make the best use of it, the princess is thrifty, and if you don't make a new one, you can't leave what you did before! ”

Ah Xiu shook his head, smiled from ear to ear, looked at Su Xin and said, "Look at your well-behaved mouth!" It must have been bad at learning from Ying'er! As he was speaking, a crisp voice sounded: "Madame has arranged Ying'er again, fortunately I heard it, otherwise I would have been wronged!" But it was Ying'er who came in with two baskets of things, and happened to hear the two of them amused, so she walked in, "This is the dates from the farmer's family sent by my uncle from afar, and this basket is the lotus root from the garden." Princess, let's see, is it pleasing or not?! ”

Listening to the magpie-like voice of Ying'er, Ah Xiu looked at the basket, and it was indeed a good thing: a basket of big, red and oily dates, and a basket of pink and white lotus roots like a beauty's arm. Su Xin smiled and asked, "Why don't you mention going to the back, what are you doing on such a long wrong road?" Ah Xiu also opened his mouth to ask. Ying'er took out a water-blue handkerchief, wiped the sweat on her head, waved her hand, walked to the table and poured a glass of water, poured it down, poured another cup and held it in her hand, and then came over and spoke: "The princess has not gone out for a long time, and she can't see such fresh materials, so I will bring it to you to have fun." ”

Turning from left to right, I looked at Ah Xiu's headdress, and nodded: "Sister Su Xin is really good at craftsmanship, a hundred times stronger than my comb, and it seems that the princess's face is also brighter!" Su Xin was just about to be modest for a few words, but Ying'er suddenly said: "It's just the princess's eyebrows and rouge, or is it only me who painted it!" As he spoke, he put down the teacup, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Since it's a good day and the sun is setting, let's go to the other ladies' rooms for a turn?" ”

Ah Xiu thought about it and nodded: "Ghost girl, you have a lot of ideas, and you win my heart!" Ying'er giggled proudly, chose a very fine pine smoke charcoal, and painted an eyebrow for Ah Xiu, Su Xin looked at it from the side, and also felt that the color was just right, and it was really light makeup without traces. After drawing her eyebrows, Ying'er rummaged in another makeup for a long time, and patted her head: "Look at my memory, I put it in the small cabinet last time, I'll get it!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a small box with gold cloisonné inlaid tortoiseshell from the cabinet and came out: "This is the rouge that I made with Xiaohong for a summer, and I wiped it for my wife!" Saying that, when he opened the box, a fragrance wafted out, Ah Xiu asked what it was, and Ying'er smiled proudly: "Lilacs, purple jasmine and pomegranate flowers, more than a dozen baskets of good flowers, stayed up for two days and two nights, scooped and sheared, filtered and filtered, we were clumsy, and sprinkled some more, so we got such two small boxes!" ”

"It's too laborious, I'm sick and you have some time to spare, why do you still do this?!" Ah Xiu shook his head distressedly. "It's just a bit of stupid effort, what a rare thing, the princess likes it, there are eight boxes out of ten, but it's not good to save flowers after the flowering period! Xiaohong cried because she knocked over once! Ying'er said with a smile, took a cotton swab, dug a little, put it in the makeup dish, put a drop of Poria cocos into it, evenly opened it, dipped it in a clean cotton swab and rubbed it on Ah Xiu's cheek, and then took the ring finger to spread it evenly, so that Ah Xiu could see it, and nodded again and again.

"This rouge is so transparent, as if the healthy blood on the face is revealed! It's hard for you to think about it! Ah Xiu was full of praise, and Su Xin watched it on the side, and praised it again and again. Now that she has finished cleaning up, Ah Xiu got up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Ying'er: "I also have to change my clothes!" Ah Xiu was surprised, Ying'er opened the wardrobe, chose a pair of cardigans with Shih Tzu pink golden peony flowers, and a water-red carved silk double blessing pattern soft satin pomegranate skirt came out, and changed it into Ah Xiu with Su Xin.

Seeing that Ah Xiu was puzzled, Ying'er explained with a smile: "This face is so shiny, how can the clothes be too quiet, they must be matched like this to look better!" After speaking, he led Ah Xiu to the dressing mirror, "The princess is looking at it now, is her complexion better?" Ah Xiuming bent his eyes and said with a smile: "You say that, how can I refute you with my eyes open?!" It's really a good girl, so thoughtful! ”

Su Xin also praised on the side: "Before, I just felt that something was missing, and I wanted to say it, but I couldn't say it, or Ying'er sister has a unique vision!" Let's go, Princess, let's go to each room and take a walk, and make sure everyone praises the princess for her complexion better than before! "That's it, it turns out that one of you has already coaxed me to death, and now that the two of you are together, what am I not satisfied with or believe?"

The three of them came out, and when they saw Xiaohong coming back with something and embroidering pillowcases under the corridor, Ah Xiu remembered the rouge and praised it: "Good girl, it's hard for you and Ying'er to make this rouge for me!" Xiaohong was busy and modest, Ah Xiu thought about it, and rolled her eyes and said, "It's just that Mo learned the tongue skills of these two old girls!" Xiaohong was stunned and confused, but the three of them laughed together and left the hospital.

Xiaohong scratched her head: "Today, the princess's complexion and spirit are really much better, is it really the Bodhisattva who asked for it?" Thinking of this, the little girl folded her hands, looked at the sky and said: "Thank God for blessing, tomorrow I will fulfill my wish and give you two of the fattest hens raised by my mother!" ”

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and went to Huilan's room first. Huilan was not there, she took the children out for a wild trip, and she didn't go back yet, only the blue marks in the room were embroidered under the porch, and she hurriedly greeted Ah Xiu when she saw her. Ah Xiu nodded and entered Huilan's room, smelled a smell of medicine, and asked Bi Jin who was taking medicine, Bi Jin replied respectfully: "It's Di Gongzi, a few days ago I was playing in the water with a few sons in the yard, wet my clothes, hot and cold, and a little runny." The doctor looked at it and said that it was okay, and wrote a prescription for clearing heat and diverging, and the side concubine Niangniang personally boiled it in the hall for the son to eat, and now a few doses have been eaten, and the remaining medicinal fragrance has not been dispersed. ”

Ah Xiu nodded: "That's fine." Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a circle in the curtain in Huilan's room, and when I walked in, I saw that it was the rocker music I made for Zhu Yuanzhang. Ah Xiu felt a little jealous in her heart, and asked Bi Jin, "What is this?" Bi Jin looked at it along his finger and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the prince brought it to Mrs. Huilan, and the slave didn't know what it was called, but the prince was very happy to play with the side concubine, and the prince was also called to play." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Ah Xiu felt a trace of displeasure in his heart, but nodded quietly and brought the two girls out.

(The heroine is jealous, there is wood!) It's about to rise, and there is wood! ）
