Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Little Elegance
Zhao Luoyan came back for two days to listen to Yuxuan, and the gift he took out was just a small clay figure that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Now I suddenly asked about buying New Year's ornaments and clothes, wouldn't it be a disappointment?
Qian Ning raised her lowered eyes slightly, "I heard Mother Li say that the house will prepare new ornaments and clothes for the New Year for the ladies and girls in each room, I should follow the rules of the house, and I don't dare to prepare these precious soft things without authorization." ”
Zhao Luoyan put down the teacup and glanced at Qian Ning: "Although there are rules in the house, they are all for the subordinates, what can be outstanding in the house, even if it is a mother, Mengying and they all have their own preparations, it is nothing." ”
Qian Ning's heart moved when she heard this, wouldn't she really want to make up for herself?
Sure enough, I heard Zhao Luoyan say: "This year is also the first time you celebrate the New Year in the Hou Mansion, and you should dress up grandly." After speaking, he called the little servant over again and took out a silver ticket: "You can take these silver to buy some favorite ones, and they will be beautiful for the New Year." ”
Qian Ning couldn't help but laugh, what is this for? Outer room? Treat yourself as if you have nothing in your hand, just waiting for your husband to give you money to live? However, if you don't have the support of a building, you are really short of money.
Holding back a smile, Qian Ning hurriedly put on an embarrassed look: "Husband, what do you mean, how can I take this silver to give myself this money without merit and virtue?" ”
Zhao Luoyan put the silver ticket on the table, and his tone was unquestionable: "You and I are husband and wife, why do you need to talk about merit to accept my kindness?" If it is for you, then take it. ”
Zhao Luoyan insisted like this, Qian Ning originally didn't mean to have to, you know, now in the eyes of the Hou Mansion, she is a young grandmother who is not from a high background and has no money in her mother's family, so why bother to slap her swollen face and become fat?
Qian Ning took the silver ticket with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, husband." ”
When Zhao Luoyan came, it was neither meal time nor rest time, and in the afternoon, the two of them had nothing to say there.
Qian Ning thought that Zhao Luoyan was not sincere in listening to Yuxuan for a long time, so she took the initiative to say: "I heard that after Sister Lian has a body, sleep is even worse, a few days ago, I picked the newly bloomed plum blossoms, dried them and dried them into dried flowers, although they are not as rich as the incense they make, they smell fresh." I thought that even my sister had always loved plum blossoms, and if there was the fragrance of plum blossoms in the house, she would be able to sleep peacefully. It's just that when the New Year is approaching, I heard that there are many things here in Yuxuan that are not properly prepared, so I can't take the time to send them to Sister Lian, but Qiaofujun came over today, why not help bring them to Sister Lian? ”
Zhao Luoyan smiled when he heard this, he had studied in the academy for a while, but he didn't know that the two wives coexisted in such harmony: "You are so kind, I thank Mei'er." ”
Qian Ning smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it." "I ordered the dew to take out the dried flowers, and put a delicate big purse, and you can smell the fresh fragrance in your hand, which is more natural than incense, and the purse is also very delicately embroidered, and there are some whiskers left under the purse, and there is a bead tied at the bottom of each whisker, which looks different.
Thinking of the strings in the basket, Zhao Luoyan couldn't help asking, "You did this purse?" ”
"En", Qian Ning nodded, "The craftsmanship is not good, and I hope that my husband will not laugh." ”
Zhao Luoyan curled his lips slightly: "You are too modest, even a lady on the needlework, you may not have such a delicate mind." Such a beautiful purse, with such a refreshing floral fragrance, is really heartfelt. I'm curious, how is this floral fragrance made, and it seems to have more of a fresh aroma than ordinary dried flowers? ”
Qian Ning secretly screamed badly, she just wanted to send Zhao Luoyan away quickly, but she forgot that this person loves elegance the most, and she is happy about this kind of dried flowers, which are delicate and delicate.
I had to be patient, and I talked about how to get up early to collect the plum blossoms that had just bloomed, how to carefully wrap them in silk handkerchiefs, and how to place them in the middle of the books that I had been reading for a long time and suppress them.
Zhao Luoyan suddenly realized after hearing this: "No wonder this dried flower only has a pure plum blossom fragrance, it originally came from the beginning of the collection, which cut off the interference of the outside smell on it." It's even more wonderful to suppress old books, new books have a book fragrance, and old books are long gone, why didn't you think of taking old books? ”
Zhao Luoyan looked happy, Qian Ning secretly broke out in a cold sweat, she knew that a little dried flower could make the prince so excited, she was looking for a topic and creating an atmosphere earlier, but she was poured cold water, what was it for?
It was rare to find a pitiful common interest with Zhao Luoyan, and Qian Ning said: "I also have other dried flowers collected in spring and summer, all kinds of flavors, is my husband interested in appreciating one or two?" ”
Zhao Luoyan was eager to catch it: "With such a beautiful thing, how can I miss it?" ”
Next, Zhao Luoyan listened to Yuxuan and admired the dried flowers made by Qianning, and took some back in amazement.
When he arrived at Yongmei Zhai in the evening, Zhao Luoyan took out the plum blossom purse: "This is given to you by Qianning, the fragrance is excellent, you may be able to sleep better when you smell it." ”
Lian Chengmei had already heard someone report that the prince was stumbling on Yuxuan, and the reason was actually a small dried flower, Lian Chengmei's heart gritted her teeth a little, but her face was still smiling: "Sister Lu is so considerate, I have to come to the door to thank you another day." So saying, he gave the purse to the Bird.
Zhao Luoyan stretched out his hand to stop: "You smell it first, the fragrance of the flowers is very fresh and natural, you will like it." ”
Lian Chengmei's outstretched hand paused, but she had to take it back again, put it under her nose and sniffed: "It's really good, it's much more comfortable than my box of incense." ”
Zhao Luoyan smiled: "No, I'm still strange, the Lu family is such a tutor, but there is still some elegance, it's really rare." ”
Hearing this, Lian Chengmei was even more suffocated, thinking that at the beginning, she fell in love with Zhao Luoyan, firstly, because of his affection and nature, the most common feeling, and secondly, he was also a scholarly and motivated person, presumably the future is not bad, so he was determined to marry him. But he forgot that his most affectionate object does not necessarily have to be himself, although he has a preconceived idea, but Lu Qianning is full of tricks, and Zhao Luoyan is hooked if he can't keep it. Do you have to carry a room in your own house as my mother said? No, Lian Chengmei thought of her husband enjoying the joy of fish and water with others under her nose, and her heart turned over. All kinds of thoughts intertwined, turning into a touch of sorrow and tenderness, "Sister Lu's ingenious thoughts, I am ashamed, I am ashamed that I boast that I love to use incense to understand incense, but I can't even do a small flower fragrance, I am really ashamed." ”
Zhao Luoyan couldn't stand Lian Chengmei's aggrieved little daughter the most, so he hurriedly put his purse aside and hugged her gently: "Mei'er, where is this, you are good at everything, but I just didn't expect that idea to make dried flowers, why bother?" ”
Lian Chengmei was sticky and glutinous and said: "I just want to make my husband satisfied, otherwise, I should be derelict in my duty as a wife......"
Hearing such love words, Zhao Luoyan was even more distracted, hugged Lian Chengmei's hand tightly, and the two of them were affectionate.
And even Chengmei was even more nervous in Zhao Luoyan's heart, and all kinds of lingering made Zhao Luoyan stay in Yongmei Zhai except for reading and studying, and until the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he did not set foot in Yuxuan again.
