Chapter 12 The Last Resort
When Qiong'er returned to the courtyard, it was almost noon.
This morning's confession activity made the already feverish dome even more exhausted. took off a gorgeous peacock robe, went straight into the bed, and fell asleep without even eating lunch.
"Princess, Cui Xi beside the Duchess of Yue Guo has sent a box of jewelry, a fine cigarette satin!"
"Princess, the peony beside the second lady has sent a box of jewelry, a fine brocade satin!"
"Princess, the third lady's side sent a box of jewelry!"
"Princess, the girls have sent you some jewelry!"
Qiong'er, who didn't wake up until the evening, looked at the gifts on the outside and inside, and guessed in her heart that the people of the Yue Guo Mansion were suddenly so polite to her?
Squinting his eyes, he focused on playing with all kinds of hairpin rings. Qiong'er was surprised to find that the development of ancient handicrafts such as hairpin tassels can be polished so finely. Especially the pair of tassels inserted in the hair, and there was no wind at the start. There is also the legendary step shake, which is really one step and three shakes, bringing out the dynamism of peach blossom noodles.
There is not a lot of inventory in her own space, since the crossing, she has studied these things in detail, and the simple gold and silver jewelry in front of her at most some pearl decoration style craftsmanship, quite similar, but the process is more exquisite, and there are a lot of emeralds, inlaid with gems and jade and other rare things, can be superb.
Walking to Zhai's famous "smoke and water section, brocade satin", rubbing the familiar feel over and over again, carefully observing the direction of every strand of every thread, refusing to miss any detail, these weavers dyed as if they were in the same style as before.
The original guess in my mind slowly became entangled, is the treasure in this space the space of the owner of this little bun, or the legendary treasure of the Hulan family that I thought?
Qiong'er reluctantly played with a jade bracelet, and her heart was gloomy. For thousands of years, the Hulan family has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one has been able to find the legendary holy land, the symbol of the strength of the Hulan family, and the treasure that can bring monstrous wealth to the descendants of the Hulan family.
And what is the inextricable relationship between this spatial treasure and this unknown dynasty and the Hulan family?
Before Qiong'er could find an answer to her question, the mother-in-law from the big kitchen came to visit, and of course she also sent firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, meat, eggs, vegetables, everything! Because it's summer, a lot of things are given away in small quantities, otherwise I'm afraid of going bad.
Qiong'er looked at Zhai indifferently and counted things, and explained that he still wanted to eat the whole sheep, the whole cow, and let the big kitchen kill it, send a one-year-old sheep every day, send a two-year-old cow once a day, and also ask for all kinds of bits and pieces of heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, intestines and stomachs in the stomach, of course, let the big kitchen clean up and then send it.
The mother-in-law's disgusting face is yellow, tangled and ugly, and she wants to vomit! But looking at the smiling princess, I can't guess whether this one really wants to eat, or is it to amuse herself!
Thinking about what the second lady explained, she would give whatever she wanted, don't talk nonsense, pouted, and returned all sheep and cows! The one-year-old sheep is okay to say, it is more than 30 catties at most if it is skinned, but the two-year-old cow can't beat hundreds of catties, so let's kill you!
"Princess, this whole sheep is okay, but this whole cow is too big, we can't take it!"
Zhai's tangled translation to the princess, Qiong'er smiled, and did not pierce the mother-in-law's little trick, "Cut it into large pieces and send it over!" "How nice it is that someone is helping him to scourge this mansion!
The mother-in-law secretly pinched her handkerchief, and was secretly happy in her heart, just waiting for this person to speak, so that she could also rub some good things home! When the time comes, the meat will be chopped into large pieces, and who knows where the whole cow will be missing?
Seeing the mother-in-law leave happily, Zhai hesitated for a moment before asking vaguely, "Cattle and sheep in the mainland are very expensive, and the princess needs them every day, but I'm afraid that this capital is not easy to buy!" "The point is that we can't eat so much meat with just a few women! And it's easy to make enemies with the head of this country's mansion!
Qiong'er waved her hand and yawned, "Anyway, it's not spending your own money, what's there to feel sorry for?" "As for whether you can buy it or not? That's not their own problem, they want to raise a princess, they should pay the corresponding price, right?
They will gradually learn that the princess actually eats a lot!
Because Qiong'er was tired today, Master Zhen's illness did not force her to continue studying, and after dinner, Qiong'er went back to her room to sleep.
……
"Old lady, all the yards have sent things to the Diancui Courtyard!" Mama Yun opened the gauze curtain and walked into the inner room, looked at Xiao Shi who was silently staring at the candle flame, and whispered to the movement in the mansion.
"Hmm!" Xiao's mood is very complicated, he has wanted to talk to someone since the morning, but he can't say it, and finally turns into a sigh, "Yun'er, let Mrs. Liu go to Diancui Courtyard to watch the door, let the second daughter-in-law give all the money she should give, and let that girl live in the yard in the future!"
Inform the family that the princess does not understand the language, and it is inconvenient to meet guests for the time being, so don't go over to disturb! ”
Why is it confined again?
Mama Yun looked at the old lady in surprise and hesitated, "What about the old lady?" ”
Xiao Shi seemed to have just remembered such a person, and his face struggled, "Go and ask the old lady to say that I have something to tell him!" ”
"Yes!" Mama Yun saw that the old lady was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly went down and ordered.
……
"Lamber, take your medicine!" Yue Jinsheng entered the room with a medicine bowl and came to a burly middle-aged man holding a handkerchief in a daze at the table.
The man took the medicine bowl, swallowed a few mouthfuls without looking at it, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I'm fine, you don't have to boil medicine every day!" ”
Yue Jinsheng deliberately ignored the embroidered handkerchief on that side, and shook his head solemnly, "Lamber, although your body is a lot tougher, but the toxins in your body have not been cleared, and you still need to drink medicine until you find a better prescription!" ”
The man knew that Yue Jinsheng would not listen to his words, his resolute face was full of helplessness, but his eyes returned to the clean handkerchief that had been washed, and his rough fingers rubbed the velvet embroidery on it, "How is her temperament?" ”
Yue Jinsheng's heart sank, he had been back for a few days, and he thought that Lamber would not ask about that girl! pursed his lips and said a thoughtful evaluation, "It's wild, I always want to run back!" ”
Lamber's eyes flashed, as if he was a little surprised by this comment, and was silent for a moment, "How is your mother?" ”
Yue Jinsheng's face suddenly darkened, and his brows were frowning enough to kill flies, "I have already sent her to the capital, if they still want to embarrass my mother, don't blame me for letting go!" ”
