Chapter 269: Let Her Go
It snowed again.
The trees, the roof, and the ground are covered with a white layer, and when the wind blows, the snow foam flies up and into the neck, which is cool and silky, which makes people feel very refreshing.
Coming out of his mother with a smile, he has recently become the most popular person in the palace and, of course, the busiest.
Along the way, there was a long whistling sound of Gongzhu everywhere, and those were all ordered by him in the workshop below Shaofu, not only that, but he also served as a coach, and wherever he went, there was a delicate voice calling him: "Jiang Lu Gongzi, please stay!" This feeling can only be described in one word: cool!
And outside the palace, he is also popular, since he said in front of his father that he wants to donate eggs with Miss Xiaohan, then this matter must be taken seriously. Every time he delivered eggs, he didn't send a servant, he delivered it himself. When the guy from Hu Ji's tofu shop saw him, he thought that he was a god, and said to people vigorously: "Look, Gongzi Lu is here to deliver eggs again!" ”
The people "whooped" and turned their faces in unison to smile at him with gratitude or respect.
The guy was also a good worker, and said loudly: "The eggs came out of the palace, and the flour and oil belonged to our Hu family." Come and line up on the morning of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but don't forget, there will be no more after the distribution, and everyone should not be too little, after all, this is a deal. ”
People nodded sensibly and said, "Not too little, not too little!" ”
At this time, Jiang Lu felt a little fluttery, and was praised for a while and couldn't wait to go back and get a basket of eggs.
But. In winter, chickens also lay fewer eggs. Not to mention his family, even the ladies and beauties in the palace don't think there are enough eggs.
In other words, Xiaohan's craftsmanship is really not cheap, twenty pieces of each dress, he sees her draw very easily, and he can draw one after a while, but it is not easy for chickens to lay eggs, and he holds it for a long time. I finally got one out. Twenty chickens work together. is enough for her handmade money for one of her clothes.
However, the women are not too expensive, and would rather eat fewer eggs than wear the new clothes drawn by the little Han girl, so what's the problem? Now all the palaces are complaining that there are not enough eggs to eat. But they complained about theirs. Shaofu's rations have not changed at all. Their policy was to let the palaces figure it out for themselves. Or. You have a wealthy mother's family, let your mother's family take care of it, or not. I went looking for my son. Of course, there must be a son, and the son must have a farm.
Will Lu see that they are trapped by eggs and secretly happy, he does not have this problem here. As long as he opens his mouth, Miss Xiaohan will give him a painting for free. In the words of Miss Xiaohan, today, they are a duo of volunteers.
Jiang Lu quite likes this statement, anyway, staying is staying, why don't you do the things of running errands and showing your face?
What's more, he found that he was running around like this, and he had more opportunities to see his father than before.
No, as soon as I entered the small gate of the Tibetan Academy, I saw my father. Oh, and the old woman named Ching. She is the most special person in this Xianyang Palace, her father named her a "virgin", she usually goes to see her when she has time, and the old ladies who eat and supply and qualifications, not only that, but her birthday will be specially written down by the father, how can ordinary ladies get this treatment? Even when the imperial grandmother was alive, she never heard of it!
Well, that imperial grandmother can't be mentioned!
The large oven built outside the kitchen was smoking and smelling. The whole yard smelled like this, and when I smelled it, I felt hungry. Jiang Lu sniffled and walked over quickly.
"The son visited his father and greeted the virgin."
Ying Zheng smiled, didn't squeak, this kid has been very diligent recently, but he is a person who understands current affairs.
Qing Ze was very frightened, she hurriedly bent down to help Jiang Lu, but she bent too quickly, "Gaba", as if she had flashed her waist, and she couldn't move for a while. Ying Zheng said "oops" and hurriedly took a hand. He complained, "He's a little kid, what are you doing with him?" ”
Qing slowly straightened up with his hands on his waist, smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm really old, and if I move like this, I'm going to sit down and get sick." ”
Xiao Han said softly: "Where is it old?" I'm only in my early fifties. It's okay, just get a bag of hot salt and apply it a few times. In the future, the force should not be too strong, as soon as people get older, their flexibility will be poor, and they must always pay attention to it. ”
Qing nodded again and again, feeling that what this goddess said was to be heard.
Jiang Lu smiled wryly, he stood up, glanced at his father, put his hand on the edge of the oven and roasted, sucked hard, and said, "Miss Xiaohan, this is going to roast delicious food for everyone?" It seems that Jiang Lu is blessed. He knew that at this time, he was needed to talk so much.
Xiao Han smiled and said, "I don't know if it will be successful?" They sent me a piece of meat, I thought it was too fat, so I simply refined lard to make a small snack to eat, and the first time I made it, I couldn't grasp the heat. ”
"It's so fragrant, I think it's okay, it's going to smell mushy if you bake it again!"
"Oh, okay then, let's turn it on."
"I'm coming!" Will Lu diligently come to help. Ah, I accidentally burned it.
As soon as the door opened, the fragrance wafted out. Really sweet.
"Well, the color is good, and you have to get a piece of it while it's hot!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
"Gluttony! Don't be afraid of hot hands! Ying Zheng blamed, but did it himself, went to the iron plate and used two fingers to clip the round small snack.
"Shhh He also got burned.
Qing pursed his lips and smiled, such a scene is really rare.
Xiao Han handed over the plate and took it out piece by piece with chopsticks. On a cold day, I also enjoyed eating a sweet and fragrant hot snack.
This time, Jiang Lu didn't rush to get started, he watched his father clip a piece and handed it to Qing first.
Qing Tui gave way, took it gratefully, held it in one hand and fed it to his mouth, and held it under the other hand to prevent the slag from falling. She nodded as she ate, "Well, it's delicious!" ”
Xiao Han smiled and raised the plate at the father and son. Whoever came was the guest, who let them catch up! To say, Jiang Lu is not annoying at all, and the emperor is not annoying. He was so hateful.
The father and son also began to eat snacks.
Ying Zheng said while eating: "Let's just say, bring the virgin here, it must be the right place, not only can you make clothes, but you can also eat the snacks made by the girl." In the future, the virgin can come by herself, but I don't have the effort, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember. ”
Qing hurriedly bent his waist and said respectfully: "Always let the emperor remember, the old woman will die of shame." People are old. The body is lazy. That's it, the emperor has all the opportunities, don't worry about the old woman! ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled. I continued to eat. The topic was not brought up again.
Xiao Han also picked up a piece and tasted it. It seems that the dough is a little harder, and it would be nice to be softer next time or wake up for a longer time.
Ying Zheng patted the scum on his hand and said to General Lu, "Stay for a while." You send the virgin back, even if you are in the car, you have to pay attention, there is snow on the road! ”
Jiang Lu hurriedly responded.
Qing saw the situation and hurriedly said, "The clothes have also been ordered, and the snacks have been eaten." Qing is going to go back, people are old and feel a lot, and if they don't go back, they will make a fool of themselves! ”
Ying Zheng nodded. Xiao Han just looked at her and smiled, thinking to himself, although he is old, this is a thoughtful person.
They were all gone, and Xiao Han returned to the house with his plates. In winter, it's okay to stand outside for a while, it's cold for your feet after a long time.
Ying Zheng also followed in, and said casually: "She will come in the future, and the girl will treat her well." ”
Xiao Han twisted his face and looked at it, but didn't speak, just turned the light on a little brighter. In winter, it is so dark in the house.
"She's a poor person and a respectable person."
Xiao Han asked lightly: "Why is she pitiful?" Is there a little cold to be pitiful? ”
Ying Zheng froze for a moment, thinking to himself, it seemed that her tone couldn't go on anymore, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
"She, her husband died very early, and she had no children, and she took her clan to dig the Dan cave alone, even if she became rich later, she still worked often. Didn't the girl pay attention to her hands? It's all deformed, and there's no going back. ”
Xiao Han said "oh", when she was just picking up the snack, she noticed it, and she thought it was the deformation of the joints of the rheumatism.
Ying Zheng continued: "But he didn't look for a man again, he just lived alone." Ying Zheng took her over just to make her live a better life in her old age. ”
Xiao Han rolled her eyes in her heart, if she doesn't donate money to repair the Great Wall, will you pick her up?
She asked, "Does the emperor think that she will live a good life when she enters the palace?" ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Of course." Anyway, she is alone everywhere, so it is better to be here, and she can be well taken care of. ”
"What about the mountains and rivers of my hometown? Can the emperor give it to her? ”
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Of course it can't, but Ying Zheng will often go to see her." She has no relatives anyway. ”
That's not what I said. There are no relatives, and there are old neighbors. Even listening to the local accent feels kind! What's more, in the capacity of the emperor, even if he went to see her, it would only make her panic. In the eyes of outsiders, what a great honor and kindness the emperor had to see her, but in Xiao Han's opinion, when she entered this Xianyang Palace, she was guilty. ”
Ying Zheng's face changed when he "brushed". Are you immortals so unheard?
Xiao Han ignored his face and reached for a piece of snack.
The girl ...... said, "Well, it's uncomfortable."
"It's making the emperor uncomfortable, right? This is because the obedient person is the emperor. Your Majesty, have you ever thought that when you speak by yourself, obedient people are also uncomfortable. Xiao Han said a disgusting word, standing in your position, there will be no comfortable feeling. You ask the tallest big rock on the top of the mountain, what can it get besides the wind blowing around it? The shade of the trees shaded what was lower than it, and the boulder on the top of the hill was too high for the shade to shine. The bird dares to go up to rest because the stone makes it feel stable, may I ask the emperor, which of the courtiers or family members around you is at ease to sit and lie down in front of you? Fusu won't, Mrs. Zheng won't, let alone Xiaohan, she is a prisoner detained by the emperor! …… So, Your Majesty, you are good to Qing, but she may not be good, let her go, she is so old......"
The sentence "Let her go" made Yingzheng speechless for a while. She invited Qing to Xianyang Palace to enjoy the blessings, and in Xiao Han's eyes, she actually "let her go", can't he even express his respect for a person?
Looking at his incomprehensible appearance, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a little pity for him in his heart. But ......, in what capacity does she pity him, it's ridiculous!
What is precious is what he lacks, compared with Zhao Ji's debauched mother, this widowed lady is of course white and flawless, but is that the life she wants? No one thinks about it from her point of view, but just chooses a part to be admired and valued from her own needs.
"Your Majesty, maybe Xiao Han's words are too heavy. Go back and rest! You are the emperor, and you don't need to take the opinions of the people to heart,...... We are inherently unequal. In this matter, you just do what you want,...... People can't think about whether it's right or not, whether it's good or not, and when they think about it, they're lonely, it's all like this......"
Ying Zheng stood still, and when she said "it's all like this", she was also lonely, as he usually was.
Ah, she's lonely too!
"That'...... Is it good to send her back? ”
Xiao Han shook his head and smiled indifferently, "Whatever, Your Majesty, if Xiao Han talks too much, it may be that Xiao Han is wrong." People often treat others with themselves, Xiao Han doesn't want to be aggrieved in this palace, thinking that other women don't like it either, it is inevitable that Xiao Han has made such a mistake. ”
Ying Zheng hesitated, and seemed to be talking to herself: "She has been in the palace for so long, and she has never said that she is uncomfortable!" She always said she liked it here. ”
Xiao Han really wanted to scold him for being an idiot. But, forget it, her life is still in the hands of others, why do you care so much? (To be continued.) )
