Chapter 484: Regret
The subtle waves between Shi Ping's eyebrows all fell into Linglong's eyes.
Boring!
It's really not as interesting as quarreling with Cheng Xuehuai.
Linglong lost interest, threw away the needle and thread in her hand, and looked at Shi Pingsu without blinking.
Shi Pingsu sat sideways, her head hanging and embroidering a lotus pod seemingly intently. Suddenly, there was a feeling of being on my back. She didn't let herself look at it, her expression was calm, but her back was subconsciously straight.
Linglong sighed softly: "A while ago, Begonia was sick, thanks to you to help me manage the affairs of the back house, I will go to Yongji Temple to burn incense in a few days, you go with me." ”
Shi Pingsu's tense nerves relaxed, Jin Linglong took her with her when she went to the Jin family's East Mansion two days ago, and now she is going to take her to Yongji Temple, and I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Did she know or didn't know about the events of the Spring Banquet?
But being able to go to Yongji Temple to offer incense, Shi Pingsu was also very happy in her heart.
A concubine is not allowed to go out casually, unless the main room allows it.
Now the spring is bright, Yongji Temple is a pleasant place in the capital, when she was a girl before, she was there, but as far as the eye can see, it is crowded, there is not even a place to rest, and I have not been able to appreciate the Zhong Ling Junxiu of the legendary Yongji Temple.
Coming out of Caiwei Xiaozhu, Shi Pingsu did not go back to Luyin Xuan directly, there were not many maids and women in the garden at this hour, she looked forward to Shuimu Tingxi on the other side of the stone bridge.
Shuimuting Creek is surrounded by water on all sides, it is a spring day, the green waves on the water surface are rippling, I heard that this piece of water is brought from the east road, and from here it turns a corner, leading to the front yard.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Pingsu lifted her skirt and walked onto the stone bridge, Cui Nong was taken aback, but her wife never did something reckless, so she ordered the little girl who came with her to wait in place, and she followed Shi Pingsu to the stone bridge.
The stone bridge does not use the white marble commonly used by the royal family, but uses the most ordinary bluestone, the place near the water is damp, the stone bridge is full of green moss, and the trees that grow obliquely at the water's edge under the bridge are also covered with green and fluffy moss, which is so green that it is trance-like, and the green is thick and rich.
This is different from the green in the garden, if the green in the garden is vibrant, lively and fresh, then the green here is lonely and lonely, who will notice this full of green moss?
"Ma'am, be careful, it's too slippery in here."
Shi Pingsu sighed silently, no matter how green it is, what is left for others is also the slippery of that place.
After the stone bridge, not far away is the gate of Shuimuting Creek, the quaint green bamboo gate is full of dogwood, the silk is entwined, and there are scattered small flowers hidden in it.
"There are cranes in here, and there is a woman in the garden who specializes in raising cranes, and I have seen it a few times. She also said that there are a lot of herbs planted in it, and there are no mosquitoes when you live in it. Zunon was also walking across the stone bridge for the first time, and she was curious.
Shi Pingsu said softly: "If it is in the south, it is okay, such a place is built in the capital, and I think it is piled up with silver." ”
Cui Nong was silent, she had heard the people in the house say that the prince just wanted to bring water to build a lotus pond, and after the marriage, he mobilized the people, and greatly expanded the Jueyin Yajue, and the people who put the camp division did not need it, and spent a lot of money to invite craftsmen from Jiangnan, and the people in the house were saying in private that it was because the princess was from Jiangnan that the prince built the garden like this.
If he said this, his wife would definitely be unhappy, Zunon bit her lip and said nothing.
My own wife is really anxious, the third lady tore her face with the princess in order to rob the prince, but her own wife still did not move, and refused to take the initiative to approach the prince on weekdays.
Although this Shuimu Tingxi is said to be built for the princess, if the prince is happy, the ladies can also live with him, but his wife doesn't know what to think, so she would rather look at it like this than say anything to the prince.
Zunon remembered the princess's order to make shoes, and she said: "I'll go find a few good-looking shoes in a while, you can make shoes for the prince this time, but don't be like the last time you made socks, bare and nothing." ”
Shi Pingsu turned around and walked back, and said lightly: "The princess just asked me to make the most ordinary kind of shoes on the street, and the prince is not without good-looking shoes, what he lacks now is this kind of ordinary." ”
Cuinon shook her head, I really don't know what happened to her wife, the prince was born so good-looking and had such a high status, why didn't she care.
is as noble as a princess, and she is not delicate in front of the prince, and she is dressed just right. But her own wife, every time she wants to see the prince, she comes and goes with just a few clothes, if she is not afraid of being regarded as disrespectful, she doesn't even wipe the rouge.
If the lady married not the prince that day, but the young master of the Xu family, it should be different.
Although Madame did not say anything, she knew it.
Every time a manuscript of the poem of the young master of the Xu family comes out, the lady will take the trouble to find it and record it one by one. Once she got the ink treasure of the young master, as if she had a treasure, she was in the house for several hours.
Later, I learned that the Jin family wanted the token back, and this family affair was stopped, although the lady still didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of joy.
Later, the eldest lady of the Xu family came to the door in person, holding Mrs. Hand and praising like a fairy, when Mrs. returned to the embroidery building, her face was as red as a spring flower, and there was a group of joy up and down the house for a while, and everyone knew that the Xu family and the Shi family were going to kiss each other.
Cui Nong has seen the second master of the Xu family, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and like his own wife, he has a bookish atmosphere, they are really a natural pair.
One day, the second master of the Xu family came in person, and the two families were relatives, so naturally there was not much evasion.
The Shi family has a simple population, and it is necessary to invite guests to barely make up a table. The ladies set up another table through the screen. Madame was a little shy, and she only ate a little and then withdrew.
But as soon as the master and servant walked to the small garden of the Shi family, they saw Xu Erye chasing them out.
Xu Erye said that he wanted to say a few words to his cousin, but Cuinong was at a loss, but his wife was generous, and he stood in the small flower pavilion with Xu Erye and talked.
Zunon didn't dare to eavesdrop, she stood far away under an osmanthus tree.
It's not the flowering season, the osmanthus tree is not blooming, and there are two swallows chirping in the branches.
Zunnon was afraid that someone would come at this time, and she was looking around when she saw Madame return.
There was no joy on the lady's face, no shyness, no expression.
Back on the embroidery floor, the lady sat in front of the rhombic window and sat for a whole afternoon.
The family affairs of the two families are still discussed, but the lady is no longer happy.
Later, Mrs. was summoned into the palace by the queen, and when she came back from the palace that day, Cuinong heard Mrs. and Mrs. Shi arguing, and Cuinong knew that Xu Erye told Mrs. that he had someone else in his heart, and he also said that if the family did not agree with him marrying that woman, he would not participate in the scientific examination.
Zunon heard his wife say: "It is difficult for such an unpromising man to make a difference even if he is in the top three in high school, why does his daughter have to marry him?" I'd rather participate in the draft and be one of the ones in the harem than follow him to a depressed end. ”
With his wife's talent and appearance, even if he enters the harem, he will definitely be able to show off in the three thousand beauties, not only Cui Nong is convinced, but even Master Shi and Mrs. Shi should be convinced. Therefore, when the eunuch passed the decree, Master Shi cried loudly, who would have thought that the talented woman who was looked at differently by the queen's mother only ended up with the identity of a prince's concubine.
But Cuinong still felt that his wife was not wrong, because the second master of the Xu family really did not participate in the scientific examination.
It's just that now seeing Mrs. like this, Cui Nong still regrets for Mrs., if she married the Xu family at the beginning, even if Xu Erye didn't become the champion, but they can talk about poetry and books together, wouldn't it be good?
