Chapter 41 Sprouts
Yan Xiaoyue told Yang and Xiaoxiao about her experience in the past two years, the tropical scenery of Nanyi Country, the various creatures in Nanyang, the customs and customs of those islands, and took out shells and jewelry made of coral, and gave them to Yang and Xiaoxiao.
This unique and exotic piece of jewelry immediately won the hearts of Yang and Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter. Young's is a necklace of crimson coral with purple shells, bracelets, earrings, Huasheng and hairpins, giving people a sense of stability and luxury. Xiaoxiao is a whole set of bright colors of pink, yellow, green, and red mixed together, looking youthful and beautiful.
In the end, he only asked Jin Ling to take out a live mussel shell and let Xiaoxiao try to pick pearls. When Xiaoxiao looked at the mussel shell with her face, the milky white mussel meat slowly squirmed, her face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to look at it directly.
Yan Xiaoyue nodded Xiaoxiao's forehead with her fingers, "Look at your appearance, look at it, I won't have it when I pick it up." This is something I brought back to let you see and understand, and if you miss this time, you may not be able to touch it in your life. As he spoke, he put his finger on the mussel meat, "Look I'm going to squeeze out the pearl," and when Xiaoxiao turned her face, she slowly pushed the hard lump she touched to the side, and after a while, a golden-pink pearl rolled out.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, is it okay for my sister to give it to me?" Xiaoxiao forgot to be scared when she saw the pearl, and said in surprise.
Xiaoyue encouraged Xiaoxiao, "There is another one in this, do you want to try it?" ”
Xiaoxiao looked at the clam shell enviously, nodded vigorously, Xiaoyue grabbed her hand, squeezed it slowly, and another golden-pink pearl rolled out, Xiaoxiao picked up the pearl and looked at it obsessively, "It's so beautiful, I want to make a pair of earrings, sister, it's really beautiful." He turned his head and asked Yang again: "Isn't it?" Mother, what do you see? ”
Yang nodded on the side, "Beautiful, our dashing temperament is pure and beautiful, with pearls." ”
Xiaoxiao also wanted to raise mussel shells, but was persuaded by Xiaoyue, and finally became a delicacy on the table.
When Yang Mocheng returned home, everyone finished a hearty dinner. Yan Xiaoyue took out a box of two-pound bird's nest and handed it to the Yang family, Fang Yajie opened it, glanced at Xiaoyue in surprise, and handed the box to Yang Mocheng to see, "Xiaoyue, this is too valuable, this quality of official swallows has always been a tribute, not to mention us, even the princes and nobles in the Imperial City are few who can afford to eat this kind of bird's nest." ”
"Father-in-law, I bought this bird's nest from Nanyang, where bird's nest is abundant, I bought a lot, all of them are like this, if you don't eat it, won't let me and Xiaoxiao eat it as a meal?" Besides, if we eat at home and no one is in the way, can he still go to the palace to sue us? The emperor didn't say that he wouldn't let us people eat something good. He gave Fang Yajie a pot of white pearls, and Yang Mo accepted a box of purple jade ink.
Purple jade ink is also bought in Nanyi country, the ink is added with musk, bear bile and other precious medicines, the aroma strikes, with the ink bright, light ink expressiveness, rich sense of layering, shade five colors, fluent writing and other characteristics, especially suitable for Yang Mocheng. Because Yang Mocheng has a very famous handmade strokes, Xiaoxiao has three points of the true biography of the embroidery samples are let Xiaoyue collect, a person secretly figured out, and then Yang Mocheng happened to see Xiaoyue and knew that Xiaoyue wanted to learn, so he pointed out a few times in his spare time, and also gave Xiaoyue several autographs.
That night, Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao muttered until midnight before going to sleep, and after waking up, they chatted with Yang for half a morning, and said goodbye to Yang's mansion after lunch, and took the two maids to Yuehuazhuang.
If Yuehuazhuang two years ago was a small jasper and the outline first appeared, then today's Yuehuazhuang is a beautiful girl, and Tingting Jade is established. The mulberry and tea plantations were very large, the trees were lush and green, the workers were brought in to do things in an orderly manner, and the houses on the manor were much larger.
In order to welcome Xiao Yue, Jin Hui and Jin Xiu gathered at the door with the stewards, and when Xiao Yue got out of the car, she heard singing in unison: "Welcome Miss Yue back to the village." ”
Taking advantage of Xiao Yue's stunned efforts, Jin Hui ran to Xiao Yue, "Miss, you are back, you want to die slave, are you okay outside?" ”
Jin Xiu next to him also asked affectionately: "Miss, why have you been there for so long, the slave maid has made you a lot of clothes, and you will change them when you go back." They all had tears in their eyes.
Yan Xiaoyue looked at the smiling faces crowded in front of her, and said movingly: "Okay, I'm back." We'll talk about it later, but now everyone is gone. Dinner for everyone tonight. ”
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, thank you, Miss!" ”
When I walked away, I could still hear their chattering, "Miss is really beautiful." ”
"yes, it's much prettier than it was two years ago."
"Miss is so nice!"
"Yes."
"Not really."
Xiao Yue took the people back to the Red Mansion, and the furnishings inside were the same as before, but the color of the curtains had faded a little. "You've been living here, why haven't you cleaned up properly? Look, the curtains are old and haven't been replaced with new ones, and people who don't know still think I'm abusing my maid? ”
Jin Xiu smiled: "Miss, these slaves have already been prepared, but Sister Jin Hui said that she would have to wait for Miss to come back and speak." ”
Jin Hui explained on the side: "Miss, how can we enjoy it at home when you go out, no matter what, we are maids, Miss is good to us, we shouldn't lose our duty, and this is a curtain made of silk, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to think of such a beautiful thing in the past." ”
Jin Xiu took over with an embarrassed expression, "That's right, Sister Jin Hui is right." Miss, are you tired, we have boiled the water, you can rest first, and we will report to you tomorrow. As he spoke, he tugged at Jin Hui's sleeve.
"Okay, then I'll go upstairs and freshen up." After speaking, Xiao Yue gave Jin Qiao a look and went upstairs.
waited until after dinner, and Jin Qiao came back with a tired face after dark, and his expression was also very nervous. The voice was low and whispered beside Satsuki for a while.
Yan Xiaoyue listened, and actually had an urge to laugh, people's hearts are really the most unreliable thing, only two years can make people be corrupted by money so terrible, no wonder the stepfather and mother and Xiaoxiao are not wearing the silk of Yuehuazhuang, no wonder the stepmother is reluctant to accept Xiaoyue's gift, no wonder Xiaoxiao is reluctant to come to Yuehuazhuang, hum, some people are really afraid, I really don't know if she thinks she is too smart, or thinks that others are stupid.
Although I understand it in my heart, it is uncomfortable after all, I have been together for a few years, Xiaoyue asked herself to them, she is benevolent and righteous, and she is reasonable, and she has never been a maid when they are women, and the food is similar to that of Miss Xiaohu, and she has never done any dirty work, so don't people know how to be satisfied? Or do they think she's a bully?
If this is the case, Yan Xiaoyue sneered, she will let them understand their identity, and she will also let them know that although she Yan Xiaoyue has no elders, she is not easy to bully, the Wang family back then couldn't bully, Xu Jusi couldn't bully when Jianyue Huazhuang was built, and the two slaves and maids today didn't want to bully her.
After instructing Jin Qiao a few words, he rested, and there was a good show to watch tomorrow.
