Chapter 19: Uncle Guo
It's freezing outside, and the people can stay in the house, so they don't come out to hang around, let alone the women who are raised in the boudoir.
Idle to do, Rong Wan sat on the couch and flipped through the book, Bai Yao and Yinglu sat and embroidered on the side, and Yinglu took the embroidery cloth in her hand to Bai Yao, "I always think this peony is weird." ”
Bai Yao took it, looked at it, and casually threw it to Yinglu, "Your peony is too plain." ”
Firefly Green took it dissatisfied, "Anyway, I'm also carefully embroidered, can't you be gentle with it?" ”
Bai Yao instantly blackened three lines, isn't she gentle? She's more than a little bit more gentle than Firefly Green! Of course, she is still much worse than her own young lady.
"You ask me, and you are not allowed to tell me the truth. Otherwise, you let the lady comment on the theory, see if I am saying yes or no? Bai Yao glared at Yinglu, very aggrieved.
Rong Wan had already paid attention to the two of them arguing, and couldn't help but say, she had been reborn for more than two months, and such a scene finally reappeared, she coughed lightly.
Seeing Rong Wan coughing slightly, Bai Yao hurriedly got up, "Miss, are you cold?" Otherwise, the servant will burn the charcoal stove more vigorously! Firefly put the embroidery in her hand on the table and stood up, "The maid goes to get the charcoal." Before Rong Wan could speak, she couldn't see anyone.
Rong Wan could only caress her forehead helplessly, but this girl is a little impetuous, if it weren't for the things that happened in her previous life, she almost forgot that she had forgotten her original temperament, which was like this.
Bai Yao saw that Rong Wan was a little paused, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Rong Wan, "Miss, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
"Bring me the green embroidered handkerchief, and I'll take a look." Rong Wan waved her hand and said bluntly.
As soon as Rong Wan spoke, Bai Yao knew that her own young lady had heard what she said to Yinglu, her little face turned red, and she said busily, "The maid and Yinglu are just joking." "But I still went to get the handkerchief that I had just embroidered in fluorescent green.
Rong Wan took the unfinished embroidered handkerchief, only to see that the petals were from the inside out, the red color slowly faded, and the peony, which was called the king of flowers, turned out to be a little plain, "Take the thread basket!" ”
Bai Yao was stunned when she heard this, but she probably guessed what Rong Wan was going to do, and she couldn't help but be a little happy, you must know that Miss's embroidery was personally taught by the skilled Suzhou embroidery girl specially found by Mrs., and their subordinates are very different from Miss's embroidery, and now Miss deigned to teach them personally, so she was naturally very happy.
Rong Wan passed the red silk thread through the eye of the needle, and passed a few more stitches on the petals of the fluorescent green embroidery, and then changed to a light red thread and passed a few more stitches, and then saw that the petals that were still a little plain were gorgeous again.
Bai Yao didn't have time to praise it, but she saw Rong Wan wearing the green line again, but in a moment, the branches and leaves of the peony appeared, with green leaves against the backdrop, and the peony was even more lifelike.
As soon as Rong Wan got off the needle, Yinglu pushed the door in, stuffed the charcoal in his hand into the charcoal stove, and cleaned his hands, only then did he see Bai Yao guarding Rong Wan's side and was very amazing, Yinglu was puzzled in his heart, so he approached them, and saw that Rong Wan was holding her embroidery frame in her hand, his face turned red, and he looked at Bai Yao and said, "Who asked you to show it to Miss." ”
Bai Yao was very aggrieved, "It's the young lady who wants to see it herself." ”
Firefly closed her eyes, and her heart was horizontal, "Miss, you better return the embroidered handkerchief to the maid, the maid burned it in a hurry, it is so ugly, how can it survive in the world?" ”
"Why can't it survive?" Rong Wan only felt the first three black lines in her head, how could she forget that Firefly Green had always been so cute?
Firefly Green stepped forward, and wanted to point to the embroidered handkerchief and Rong Wan to comment on how ugly this peony was, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded, is the peony she embroidered in the young lady's hand? How can it be different from Fang Cai? Only then did she say stupidly, "The young lady is not holding the maid's embroidered handkerchief." ”
"This is your embroidered handkerchief." Rong Wan held back a smile and took a moment to say.
"No, it must be Miss yours." Firefly shook her head, completely incredulous.
Rong Wan glanced at Bai Yao helplessly, but Bai Yao smiled and said, "What Miss said was yours is yours, can you still believe Miss?" ”
Firefly Green paused, raised his head and said stupidly, "I naturally believe in Miss, but the peony I embroidered is not so red, and there are not these few green leaves." ”
Rong Wan couldn't help but laugh, "This is indeed your embroidery, but the stitches are not very dense, if the stitches are denser, it will not look plain, and it is safflower with green leaves, and the green leaves can naturally best set off the beauty of the peony." ”
When she heard it, she realized that it was her own lady who added a few stitches to her embroidery to get this appearance, and said sincerely, "It's still beautiful embroidery." ”
Rong Wan knew that Firefly really wanted to learn to embroider things, but there was no one to teach her, so she said, "Do you want to learn double-sided embroidery?" ”
"The maid thinks." Firefly nodded heavily.
"It's cold these days, and I don't go out, I'll tell you the tricks, only you can figure it out slowly."
"Miss Xie." Firefly hurriedly made a big salute and got up, with a smile on her face sweeter than honey.
The three of them said this, and when they heard someone knocking on the door, Bai Yao stepped forward to open the door, but saw that it was the second-class maid Hanxiang in front of Qi.
"Sister Hanxiang, what's the matter?" Bai Yao led Hanxiang into the room and asked.
Hanxiang entered the door and saluted Rong Wan first, "Miss, the master is back from the next court, let you go to the main room to find him." ”
"Got it, you go back first." Rong Wan nodded, and Bai Yao sent Hanxiang out.
If my father was fine, he would naturally not ask to see him, not to mention that it had just snowed heavily in the past two days, and it seemed that my father had something to say.
Rong Wan thought about it while asking Bai Yao and Yinglu to change her clothes, and when she came back to her senses, she was almost wrapped into a dumpling by Bai Yao, warm is warm, but it is a little inconvenient to walk.
Before going out, she was put on a fox fur by Bai Yao, she was really not cold at all.
Rong Wan took Bai Yao to the main room, but she just entered the house, but she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little dignified, and she felt a little cold when she was wearing such a thick dress.
"Wan'er is here." Luo Qian saw Rong Wan coming over and opened his mouth.
"Father, mother." Rong Wan gave a gentle blessing, and when she approached the charcoal stove, she was slightly warm, Bai Yao hurriedly took the fox fur on Rong Wan's body, and Rong Wan was much happier at this time.
"It's cold and freezing, you should wear it so thickly, the people around you serve it properly, and you must reward those who deserve it." Luo Qian saw Rong Wan coming, with a smile on his face, and pulled Rong Wan to his side, "I've been busy with official business these days, but I haven't seen my Wan'er for a long time, it's been very cold recently, you have to protect yourself." ”
Rong Wan nodded, but her heart was full of mixed feelings, since the day her father left, she washed her face with tears all day long, hoping that everything was just a dream, but she didn't expect that when she woke up again, the past really became a wisp of smoke, and her father was still standing in front of her.
"What's wrong, Wan'er?" Seeing that Rong Wan was no longer talking, Luo Qian couldn't help but be a little worried.
Rong Wan smiled, "Father cares about Ah Wan, Ah Wan is happy!" I wonder what happened when my father called Ah Wan over? ”
Speaking of this, Luo Qian's face turned black unexpectedly, and Rong Wan knew that something was really wrong, so she sat down, looked at Luo Qian, and then looked at Qi's family, only to know why she felt that the atmosphere in the house was strange, it turned out that her father and mother, who had always been affectionate, didn't look at anyone at this time, this was a rare scene.
"I heard your mother say that you wanted to send some clothes to the refugees today, but is it true?" Luo Qian asked.
Rong Wan nodded, "Ah Wan is asking Firefly Green to come and speak, this year is extremely cold, there must be a lot of refugees outside, we naturally have to contribute a little more, and my father, as an official of the imperial court, naturally wants to benefit the people." ”
Hearing this, Luo Qian's face softened a little, and he reached out and touched Rong Wan's hair, "My daughter has grown up and knows that it is naturally a good thing to help others." ”
Hearing this, Rong Wan was relieved and glanced at her mother, but saw that her mother was still the same as Fangcai, and ignored the two of them, "What's wrong with mother?" ”
Qi Shi turned around, looked at Rong Wan, and then at Luo Qian, and stopped talking.
Luo Qian didn't look at the Qi family, but said to Rong Wan, "The court officials benefit the people, but not to steal the limelight, if you offend others, you will also harm yourself, you have to understand this truth." ”
Rong Wan understood now, it turned out that her father was dissatisfied with her mother's "low-key" approach, and deliberately called herself here, seemingly teaching herself, but telling her mother!
Rong Wan nodded cooperatively, "Ah Wan knows." ”
Qi's expression finally loosened a little, and Luo Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, is the disaster in the north area serious this time?"
Hearing this, Luo Qian's expression was a little solemn, "This snow is much heavier than in previous years, and the news just came that tens of thousands of houses in the northwest region have collapsed, and the death toll is even more numerous. ”
Rong Wan's heart was desolate, I don't know how many people are going to die because of the disaster, and human life is always so weak.
"But the emperor has already sent people to relieve the disaster." Although it was disaster relief, Luo Qian's solemn expression did not decrease at all, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.
"Who does the emperor send to provide disaster relief?" Rong Wan was thinking about it, and the words had already blurted out.
"Xun Zhan."
As soon as Luo Qian's words came out, Rong Wan knew why her father was still so worried.
Xun Zhan, the current uncle, the queen's only brother-in-law, the name of the emperor has resounded throughout the Great Zhou, the emperor actually sent him to disaster relief, what kind of idea was it?
