Chapter 107: Script
In fact, "Journey to the East" is the most famous script in the city today, telling the story of the Eight Immortals.
A few days ago, Qin Guangyu invited the two sisters to the drunken immortal residence to listen to the commentary, which is one of the most popular scripts in the city nowadays, called Mandarin Duck Buckle.
The book tells the story of a peasant girl in the previous dynasty because she was helped by the seriously ill son of the Prime Minister's house, and she was grateful and admired, so she trekked through mountains and rivers to pray for the Taoist temple every day, and finally moved the gods, and sent a mandarin duck to send the elixir when she returned home by boat, curing the child's strange disease. And the peasant girl's heart also touched the son of the prime minister, and the two became a good couple.
Such a plot, others may just laugh it off after hearing it.
But now that Hua Yue has just been detoxified, the relevant people who know a little about this matter will inevitably have associations when they hear it, and the Xiao family sisters and brothers who don't tell the inside story clearly, can know everyone's thoughts just by looking at Qin Guangyu and Hao Jun.
Those who have a heart not only think that this is talking about Xiao Yu and Hua Yue, but even speculate that Xiao Yu is trying to detoxify Hua Yue in order to climb the high branch of Hua Yue.
Even Qin Guangyu said with a smile: "If the second girl Xiao and that son can get married, it will also be a good story." ”
Xiao Pei's face turned white with anger on the spot, and he sneered: "What a good story? If your sister is so gossiped by others, will Qin Gongzi also say such bastard words? I really misjudged you! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Guangyu to distinguish, Xiao Pei pulled Xiao Yu out of his seat and went downstairs, and hired a car to go back to Niujiao Village.
In contrast, what Hao Jun said obviously won Xiao Pei's heart more. Especially these days, maybe Qin Guangyu is going to school or something, but he didn't see him coming, Xiao Pei was worried about it.
Xiao Yu raised his head.
Hao Jun just approached when Xiao Pei left the table, and said: "Ah Yu, the rumors in the General's Mansion have been messy recently, I don't know which bastard wrote the script, you must not think about it if you slander you like this." ”
"Don't worry, I cherish my little life." Xiao Yu smiled.
"That's good. I knew it. Hao Jun smiled.
Xiao Yu naturally knows that people's words are terrifying, if this matter is really spread all over the city, I am afraid that others will directly ignore the fact that she is trying to save people, and instead think that she is scheming. Painstakingly thinking about relying on Huayue.
Fortunately, the atmosphere is open, and South Vietnam has always been the queen's ruler, and she is quite tolerant of boudoirs, and the innocuous act of a young girl because she admires a man is not a big deal to the world.
But. Xiao Yu Yunying is not married, and the girl detoxifying the man, which is not hindered by the world, may not be able to get the understanding of her future husband's family. There will definitely be gossip, and if Hua Yue marries her as the book says, I am afraid that the rumors of Xiao Yu climbing high branches will be confirmed, and this is okay; If not, it is that Xiao Yu is willing to be cheap, and he wants to cling to it but is abandoned. Who would marry such a woman?
But such rumors should not have existed in the first place, and Lang Qing concubine meant that for Xiao Yu, it was nothing for others to do. So Xiao Pei was furious when he heard it.
In fact, Xiao Yu was not angry when he heard these gossip, but only had some strange feelings. And another thing caught her attention.
The reason why that script is called "Mandarin Duck Buckle" is for a reason.
When Xiao Pei was angry, the story in the hall had not yet come to an end, and Xiao Pei probably didn't pay attention to its follow-up, but Xiao Yu paid attention to listening to the whole book. That peasant girl turned out to be a princess living among the people! After the emperor retrieved the princess, he learned about the elixir and gave the princess and the prince of the prime minister a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, which was passed down as a good story.
Because this script seems to have something to do with her, Xiao Yu doesn't know whether the author wrote this paragraph about the princess just to cater to the reverie of those who listen to the commentary, or whether he is alluding to his own life experience.
Most of Hua Yue will find out who wrote the script. It's better to ask him then, and I can't think of a result here.
Xiao Yu put the matter aside, just when Xiao Pei saw that her mind did not belong, she thought that she was still sad about the gossip brought by the script. handed over a plate of lotus root flour osmanthus cake and said, "Ah Yu, taste the dim sum that Yucheng brought back." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yu came back to his senses and took it with a smile.
A few people drank and admired the moon, and they had a good time.
Lingnan has the custom of chasing the moon on August 16, and the villagers did not pay attention to this. But early the next morning. Hua Yue sent someone to bring gifts to the door, and invited the Xiao family brothers and Hao Jun to Changle Villa in the afternoon.
Xiao Yu asked clearly how many people from the General's Mansion Ling Yi came, and Jiang Qingyuan was also there, preparing the festival early. When the time was approaching, the four of them dressed up and freshened up, and the attendants brought pastries, fruits, and wine to the banquet together.
Yuanzhi and the rest of the steward brought a group of subordinates to greet them at the gate.
Xiao Pei followed the maid into the inner courtyard from the corridor next to him, Xiao Yu happened to see Jiang Qingyuan wearing a moon-white brocade robe, holding a folding fan, standing under the flower tree in the vestibule, remembering something, and Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun stepped forward.
Several people saw the ceremony, Xiao Yu thanked Jiang Qingyuan for saving Xiao Yu last time, and Xiao Yu also took out the thank you gift she had prepared for a long time.
A detoxifying elixir and a few vials of hemostatic powder.
"Last time, I was rescued by Jiang Gongzi, but I didn't have time to thank you. This is an antidote pill prepared according to the ancestral recipe of the Xiao family, and it can be worn to avoid snakes and insects; This is hemostatic powder, which is better than ordinary gold sore medicine. A little bit of heart, please Jiang Gongzi accept it. ”
Xiao Yu smiled and presented the thank you gift.
Jiang Qingyuan picked up the antidote pill and looked at it carefully, and praised: "It's really a good thing, it deserves to be the Xiao family!" ”
Xiao Yu was a little surprised: "It turns out that Jiang Gongzi also understands this?" ”
"It's just a little bit of a thing." Jiang Qingyuan motioned to the attendant next to him to accept the things, and seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "How can you be as knowledgeable as the girl." ”
"Jiang Gongzi is too modest." Xiao Yu's words are not polite, even if this pill can be poisoned, people may not be able to see that it is rare, but Jiang Qingyuan said it in a word, and it is not like a compliment, which shows the depth of his attainments.
This person is not simple.
Xiao Yu didn't dig deeper, everyone has a secret. She said goodbye to the three of them, turned around and followed the maid to the inner courtyard to find Xiao Pei and Ling Yan.
Jiang Qingyuan looked at his back hidden behind the flowers and trees, and thought thoughtfully. He already knew a lot about Xiao Yu in the General's Mansion a few days ago. This little girl is full of mysteries.
Soon dinner was set up in the villa.
After eating, it was still early, Xiao Yu, Xiao Pei, Ling Yan, and Ling Weihan walked around the village with the maid Lilac for a long time, and then went out of the gate to look at the beautiful scenery of the sunset.
A farmer on the village sent a bag of freshly dug taro, and the person in charge of the kitchen took it, but he happened to meet Xiao Yu and a few others.
On a whim, Xiao Yu said that he wanted to simmer taro.
Ling Yan was born in everyone, and she had never seen such a local thing, so she only found it novel and interesting, and agreed with it. Ling Weihan was also in high spirits. At that moment, a few people picked out nearly twenty taro pieces smaller than a fist, and asked the next person to bring firewood.
"And a small shovel." Xiao Yu instructed.
After a while, Xiao Yu dug two shallow pits more than one foot square on the soil slope next to the villa, first made the stove door, and then picked up the flat soil blocks of suitable size to build the mud kiln. (To be continued.) )
