Chapter Twenty-Six: Planting Flowers with Heart
Early in the morning, Concubine Liang did not come to the study as usual, but sent someone to summon the bamboo basket into her house, saying that the house could not catch anyone for a while.
This is strange, it is said that in the house of the concubine, there is Aunt Hua Shu to take care of the degree, and the first aunt of the junior high school is worried about the food, and there are other trivial things and little girls who perform their duties, so why is there not enough manpower? Besides, since he entered the palace, he has only been in charge of the things in the study, what does Concubine Liang have to call herself?
Entering Concubine Liang's courtyard, Zhu Zhen raised his eyes and saw a few eyed girls waiting outside, could it be someone from the house? Yingluo withdrew from the house with the empty tray, and when she saw the bamboo basket coming into the house, she greeted it with a smile and said, "Bamboo basket, why are you waiting in the house?" As he spoke, he suppressed his voice and said, "Master De is talking to his master inside!" ”
Suddenly, Zhu Luo whispered a few words to Yingluo, and went to the house.
Hua Shu was waiting beside Concubine Liang at the moment, and saw the bamboo basket enter the house through the door, leaned over and whispered a few words to Concubine Liang, then went out of the house and led the bamboo basket in.
After Zhu Zhen asked Concubine De and Concubine Liang to say goodbye, he hung his head and stood beside Hua Shu, only to hear Concubine Liang say: "Sister is what she said." ”
Zhu Zhen lowered his head, not understanding what Concubine Liang meant. What do you mean by yourself? Could it be that Concubine De is looking for herself? But she has never crossed paths with Concubine De, how could she, a high-ranking imperial concubine, know such an inconspicuous palace maid? Could it be the Thirteenth Elder Brother? It can't be four Baylors, right?
Zhu Zheng was thinking blindly, and heard Concubine De say: "Look up and let me see?" "The tone is very soft, like a kind aunt next door.
The bamboo basket slowly raised his head, but his eyes were still looking down.
"Look, look, it's a very light and clean person, you're willing to say it like that?" Concubine De laughed. Just listening from the voice, Zhu Zhen felt that this should be a kind master, but in the palace, who knows?
"It's not that my sister is stingy, if my sister sees this girl's words, she will frown." Concubine Liang was also laughing, but no matter how she heard it, it was very ethereal.
Hearing the mention of his own words, Zhu Zhen wondered, what does this have to do with whether his own words are good or bad?
Concubine De shook her head and said, "My sister doesn't love the Buddha, but I don't know, this Buddhist family only seeks a pure heart, which has nothing to do with the quality of the word?" He glanced at Zhu Zhen again and said, "I see that this girl is quiet, it is very suitable." ”
Seeing that Concubine De had made up her mind, Concubine Liang didn't force anything more, only smiled lightly and said some words to Concubine De, and asked Zhu Ji Haosheng to go with Concubine De.
Although Zhu Zhen didn't fully understand what the two of them were talking about back and forth, he guessed a few points, and it was a certainty that he would go with Concubine De. Obediently responded, Zhu Zhen bowed his head and stood behind Concubine De.
The two gossiped a few more words, Concubine De got up to say goodbye, and Concubine Liang also got up to send each other. The two of them were saying goodbye, and Concubine De seemed to inadvertently turn around and say to Zhu Zhen: "Don't worry, after you go to me, you just copy the scriptures every day, and no one can disturb you, just like you in the Maoqin Palace." ”
Zhu Zhen hurriedly said: "Master Xie De's grace." ”
I thought that Concubine De was just in the way of Concubine Liang, so she said this, not so much to say it to herself, but more like to say it to Concubine Liang, who would have thought that when she arrived at Concubine De's residence, Concubine De really instructed the big girl around her to lead her to the small Buddha hall to settle down. And in the next few days, he really didn't tell himself to do anything else except copy Buddhist scriptures, and the other people in Concubine De's palace were also polite to him. I came here by myself, not like I was here to do things, but like I was here as a guest.
Although I can't understand what Concubine De means, the bamboo basket is also happy to accept it, after all, who is not willing to choose a light one? In Concubine Liang's place, although you don't have to do anything, you have to get up early, but here in Concubine De, you can get up with the sun, and you can't do it at ease.
"How many chapters are today, can the girl copy them?" The eldest aunt beside Concubine De was also the palace maid Yin'er who helped settle Zhu Ji when he first came to Lihuating, and said softly.
After taking a small stack of rice paper on the desk, the bamboo basket sorted it out again, and Fang handed it to Yin'er and said: "I can copy it, this is the eighth to twelfth volumes of the Huayan Sutra, aunt take a look?" ”
Yin'er took the post, glanced at it twice, and then put it away and said, "The girl is doing things quickly, I'll take it, girl, let's rest." As he spoke, he called a little palace maid from outside to come in, and said, "Yesterday, the thirteenth master honored the master's candied fruit, and the master said, the girl is as big as the girl, and the family loves to eat these sweet and sour children, so he asked me to bring some and taste it with the girl." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Ji was busy blessing Concubine Xie De's reward.
Seeing off Aunt Yin'er, the bamboo basket stretched out, holding the candied fruit box, and nested on the soft couch. Seeing that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, shouldn't I be so unlucky, and I have to spend every New Year so lonely, right? This thirteenth elder brother is also really, I often hear people say that he always goes to the palace of Concubine De to ask for peace, and he doesn't know how to take a look at himself, he is bored in the house all day long copying Buddhist scriptures, and he doesn't even have a person to talk to, but he is bored to death.
He, knowing that he was in his mother's palace, didn't he think to come and take a look? He...... That's it, what do you want to do with those who don't? It's just sentimental!
I put a plum into my mouth again, and squinted my eyes contentedly, I didn't like to eat those puffed snacks when I was a child, but I had a soft spot for talking to Mei, although my mother always said that plum is not good, there are pigment additives in it, but the sweet and sour taste, but I can't quit it.
I don't know where these candied fruits were found, the thirteenth elder brother found them, they have all kinds of styles and tastes, and they are really annoying. Now here, there is no need to worry about those additives, and the bamboo basket has no scruples. Before I knew it, most of the boxes of preserves had gone.
Closed the lid, and the bamboo basket planned to save some for later, otherwise the box would be eaten up, and I don't know when I would be able to eat it next time. After cleaning his hands, the bamboo basket moved to the front of the desk, spread out the rice paper, and prepared to continue practicing calligraphy. Speaking of which, she wondered that her calligraphy might be reasonable in modern times, but if it was put in this ancient palace where everyone could be called a calligrapher, it would be an unpopular dog crawling character! Isn't it strange that Concubine Kede actually went to Concubine Liang to ask for herself, just so that she could help her copy some Buddhist scriptures? Where did she hear about herself, and why did she have the whim to help her copy Buddhist scriptures? Zhu Zhen couldn't guess and couldn't think clearly.
If you can't think of a reason, you don't want to think about it first, but the word has to be practiced. Although it is not in the day and night to practice calligraphy, but to be able to practice a little bit is a little, he came out of the concubine, and served the pen and ink in front of the palace, this handwriting is taken out, isn't it a loss of the face of the concubine?
Looking at the words she wrote, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: I don't know how she laughed at herself in her heart after showing the scriptures she copied to Concubine De! It's okay to laugh at yourself, and Concubine Liang's face can be regarded as losing herself. Thinking about it like this, Zhu Zhen has become more and more diligent in practicing calligraphy every day, and after half a month, her words have also grown slightly.
The fifth day of the first month has passed, and a "Yan Hua Sutra" has also been copied by herself, I don't know when Concubine De will have to copy the scriptures by herself, it won't be a lifetime, right? Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen shuddered.
"Squeak~" The bamboo basket raised his head in response and froze.
In the end, it was Sibeile who broke the silence first, and he said: "I'll take Eniang's "Three Ming Sutras". ”
Look at what people say, how breezy and light-hearted, learn from experience? Did you bring the white dragon horse? Zhu Zhen lowered his head slightly, adjusting his emotions as quickly as possible, the second time, it was already the second time, Zhang Ruoyu, Zhang Ruoyu, it was only three, do you really want to hit the south wall and not look back? Forget it.
Looking up, the bamboo basket raised a smiling face: "The slave and maid will ask the fourth master for peace, and the slave and maid will go and get the scriptures." After saying this sentence smoothly, Zhu Zhen turned around and walked to the bookshelf with an elegant posture.
Why can't I find it yet, what is the broken "Three Ming Sutra", where is it? My hands began to feel a little cold and shivering, I don't know if I was anxious or angry, and my eyes felt sour. The Buddha hall is not equipped with a dragon, this is the rule, so when the bamboo basket is copied from the plain to the scriptures, he will bring a soup woman to warm his hands from time to time. Now, there is a faint tide on the forehead.
"I'll do it." The calm voice sounded behind herself, and Zhu Zhen subconsciously stopped what she was doing, took a deep breath, and she stepped aside.
Soon, the four beylors found the scriptures.
Zhu Zhen stood aside with his eyes down, and Yu Guang saw the scripture book in his hand, and thought, this is going to go. But he didn't want to, and after a while, Sibeile asked, "When did you come to Eniang Palace?" ”
It turned out that he still overestimated himself, and the fourth master didn't think about taking a look at himself, and he didn't even know that he had transferred Concubine De's Mansion. What an irony! Zhu Zheng finally felt full of anger, stuffiness, irritability, and annoyance...... It all turned into a puff of air, and he exhaled it heavily with his breath, and then he had no more strength in his body.
She said softly: "Back to the fourth master's words, years ago." ”
Sibeile grabbed the scriptures and said, "You...... Who transferred you? ”
"It was a few days ago, the master of virtue was looking for a good master to speak, and on a whim, he transferred a slave and maid to Huating, and ordered the slave and maid to copy the scriptures for a few days and then return."
Hearing this, Sibeile pondered for a moment and said, "But what is someone talking to you?" ”
Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he could hear Sibeile's profound words, and Zhu Zhen strengthened his spirit in the end, and said: "In this small half month, only the slave and maid are copied in this Buddhist hall, and during this period, only Aunt Yin'er comes to pick up the copied scriptures, and there is a little palace maid to take care of the daily food and lodging, and there is no contact with others. Even the master of virtue, the slave and maid only came here on the day they came, and they met once, but they didn't say anything. ”
While speaking, Zhu Zhen unconsciously raised her head and looked at Si Beile, and after she finished speaking, she realized that she was looking at Si Beile, and his gaze, which was never faint, what she saw at the moment, the pupils were bottomless, but she couldn't see through his heart. Zhu Ji hurriedly turned his eyes downward, and turned his gaze away from Sibeile.
As if he heard his laughter, it was almost inaudible, and Zhu Zhen still didn't look at him anymore, so as not to have any more embarrassing scenes. I only heard Sibeile say: "The thirteenth brother has been looking for you." ”
Thirteen elder brothers? Could it be that he didn't even know that he was at Concubine De? It's a big deal. Zhu Zhen looked at Si Beile inquiringly, and without waiting for her to ask, Si Beile said: "If I hadn't come to help E-Niang get the scriptures, I wouldn't have known that you were so close to me and us, and you had been in E-Niang's Buddhist hall." ”
Knowing that he was wrong to blame him, Zhu Zhen was sweet for a while, guilty for a while, and his face was hot. But she was afraid that he would notice something, so she hurriedly said: "When the slave and maid came over that day, Aunt Hua Shu and a few little palace maids beside the good master were there, who did the thirteenth master ask, but he didn't ask where the slave and maid went?" ”
"Don't say the thirteenth brother, the eighth brother doesn't know." Four Baylor said lightly.
These words were like a bomb, and all kinds of information poured in, so that the bamboo basket had no time to receive it for a while. Suppressing other doubts, she said, "Maybe those palace people forgot for a while, and I don't know. After a few days, when the slave and maid return to the Chenfang Pavilion, they will go to the thirteenth master to explain it. ”
Four Baylor nodded, and stopped talking.
Zhu Zhen glanced at him and said softly: "The fourth master has his own reason for the fourth master, and the slave can save it." "It's been so many days since I've calmed down, although I'm still upset when I think about it, and I'm excited when I see him, but she's never been a vexatious person, some people, some things, are reasonable, I don't know, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. She has always been self-aware, and she is content to be able to get him to hesitate for a while.
After blessing the body, Zhu Zhen said: "The fourth master has been here for some time, so it is better to present the scriptures and the master of virtue as soon as possible, and the slave and maid will send the fourth master." ”
Sibeile looked at the bamboo basket for a while, the soapy cloud boots stepped on the marble floor, without making the slightest sound, and when the bamboo basket looked up again, the person was gone.
