Chapter 149: Early Winter
Chapter 149: Early Winter
The days are approaching November, and the day is again the time when people are frozen and stiff.
In the late autumn and near-winter months, the sky began to light late, and it was dark early, and the edge of the sky would be cloudy, and the people in the small palace would rub their hands and stomp their feet to wrap their small jackets, and carry a wooden barrel higher than half of their own, and line up one by one to fetch water.
The little girls couldn't carry the heavy buckets, and the water spilled all the way, and when it was dark, the water on the road was frozen into frost.
Huan Yi twisted her jacket skirt and walked cautiously on the road, intending to avoid the frost on the road, and turned around and held Xingzhao from time to time, and her voice was very quiet.
"It's winter, Mr. Chang's class is still starting so early, and our little lady doesn't need to take the top prize, let alone be a stunning female lyricist"
To tell the truth, the princesses and princes of the royal family have a good life, but they are really hard.
In the Xungui Marquis Mansion outside the palace, which little lady Xiao Langjun will get up at the same time, drink a few sips of cheese, eat a few mouthfuls of snacks to pad her stomach, and go to Chongwen Hall to warm her book with her bags?
In contrast, the princesses are living a good life, think about the time when a few princes have not received errands, they say that Mao Zheng is going to get up and take a horse step, and after the horse step, he will go to Chongwen Hall. When the second prince talked about this stubble, he looked at the fourth prince with the eyes of a puppy, and his eyes were shining, as if he was very envious.
Xingzhao laughed when he thought about it, the second prince is not in tune, and he can't walk because the fourth prince has bad legs and feet, so he can sleep longer in the morning, so he is envious like something.
Xingzhao smiled, and the smile faded. The frost on the corridor was as bright as it was that day and night. The rain flower stone in the warm light.
She understood who had sent it. As soon as he returned to Fengyi Palace, he confessed the stone to Queen Fang, but Queen Fang neither delved into it, nor did she return it, looking at the stone and only saying, "You are young now, this stone is too small to make a collar, and it is too big to make a hairpin, so keep it first." Left and right are not needed now. ”
Empress Fang gave the Yuhua Stone to Jiang Mingying and told her to put it in the box.
Xingzhao knew very well in his heart that this stone should never be seen again.
In her first life, Xingzhao thought that she should be able to distinguish between love and hate, love needs to be smart and kind, if she doesn't care about the ground anymore and rushes into it, she is stupid, stupid, what else to talk about love?
All self-righteous wishful thinking. Hurt others and hurt yourself.
The little lady sank her head for a moment. When he looked up again, his face regained his brilliance, smiled and took Huanyi's hand, and sincerely invited: "At noon, Second Lady He is going to enter the palace, and my third sister is also coming, she is straightforward, do you want to come over and have a look?" ”
"So you've been so happy these two days because your third sister is going to enter the palace?"
Huan Yi's eyes lit up, then dimmed, and shook his head: "If you only invite me to go, but leave that one, you will fall into people's mouths." ”
That, referring to the Xiao Gu family of Cihe Palace.
It's only been twenty days since she entered the palace, and she hasn't heard anyone say that she is not good, and Lian Rong's mouth only has this one sentence when she talks about her, "Gu Niangzi has a very good temperament, and she is also kind, and when it is cold, she doesn't ask the people in her house to take cold water to wash her clothes, boil the water to a warm temperature, and let the people under her make it." It is also allowed to soak in hot water at night to ward off the cold. ”
Look, one or two buckets of water, one or two handfuls of firewood, and the palace people praised each other.
But if you think about it carefully, the weather is getting cold, and the wells in each palace are frosted, which is not easy to use.
There are two times when the water is divided in the palace, one is to transport the water wheel from one palace to another at night, and the other is to let people go to the east of the imperial city to carry water in the morning.
There are rules for water in each palace at night, if you want to use it more, you can only let people carry a few more buckets of water in the morning, who will mention it? It's not that the palace ladies have moved from the east of the imperial city to the west of the imperial city. Are they tired? Come to think of it, it's not much easier than taking cold water to wash clothes.
It's just that the one who carries the water is the rough palace person, but the one who uses the water is the one who has a head and a face and waits closely, the former can't speak, and the latter benefits a lot.
Gu family lady, good is good.
It's a pity that it's hypocrisy.
Xingzhao blinked, completely unconcerned: "Don't be afraid." Gu Niangzi is a companion in the palace, and she will be detained in the Cihe Palace when she leaves the Chongwen Pavilion on her errand, you go to greet the queen mother, is it possible that others will also talk about it? ”
"Then you and I will go to Chonghua Palace for lunch, the master of the small kitchen learned two vegetarian dishes, one vegetarian and three fresh, take the bamboo shoots, lotus seeds and fungus stewed together on the glutinous rice pot, and then take the hot oil to pour it on, crispy and fragrant, very delicious"
If there is anything about Huanyi that does not look like a serious dignified and dignified lady, it is only this one - I like to eat.
Xingzhao laughed out loud, calculated the time, and should not be able to touch others, so he nodded yes.
Mr. Chang speaks well, and the old man who knows the destiny of heaven has not read the book, but sits cross-legged at the top, holding his head high, twisting his beard, and talking about "The Mean" in a subdued tone.
About growing his body, before half of the morning, Xingzhao was hungry, turned his head to look at Huanyi, Huanyi secretly took a few pieces of mung bean cake from the small bookbag, and then tiptoed under the bookcase to Xingzhao, and reminded him softly: "Don't worry, it's made of peanut oil"
The private lawsuit between the two little ladies was clearly seen by Gu Qingchen.
The fingers curled up, and then slowly unfolded.
After two months in the palace, her life was turned upside down, and the palace people looked at her respectfully but with contempt, and the attitude of the palace concubine towards her was unfamiliar and bland, and even the two little classmates treated her only with a face. From the only little lady in the Gu family to the reason why she has to look at people's faces now, she understands it very well in her heart! Da Zhou values the family law of his ancestors, and he is an official based on whose ancestral hall has more tablets, and what is the origin of the Gu family? What is the origin of these masters in the palace? Comparing the two sides, her heart is like a mirror.
said that it was for Princess Huanyi to read with her, but why didn't the little lady of the He family take on the title of a companion to live in the palace justifiably?
Gu Qingchen's thin red lips were pursed tightly, Empress Dowager Gu relied on her appearance and her two sons to push the Gu family to this point, why couldn't she?
About a few large pieces of mung bean cake in the middle of the way, Xingzhao lunch time is a little useless, with a silver chople in his hand, from the corner of the eye but from the Chonghua Palace furnishings swept one by one, with the old black lacquer yellow wood desk, hung two rows, the tip of the pen is divided, the old kiln still has half a basin of water left to wash the pen, three or three two random piled together ancient books, hanging on the wall of a few pairs of farming maps
Everything looks simple and rustic, but it is casual and calm.
Huan Yi pulled her to the study in the east chamber to eat, just to let her see what the study of the six princes looked like?
Xingzhao's heart was in a panic, so he simply picked up the chopsticks again and viciously pinched the tip of a bamboo shoot, biting it into his mouth, crispy.
When returning to Fengyi Hall from Chonghua Palace, after noon, the sky was very clear, and the warm sun in early winter shone through a layer of white mist, shining on the gray wall and green tiles, which was so tranquil that it was not like words.
Huan Yi found an excuse, and stopped when she was about to go to the Miaojing Pavilion, saying, "Go and ask the Queen Mother for a peace charm, and then go over to see your third sister later." ”
The people who grew up in the palace are all human spirits, and Huan Yi understands that the two sisters have something to say, and she is both close and interesting in doing so.
There was sunshine all the way, Xingzhao's heart jumped up, he waited in the porch, and whispered to her: "The second lady and the third girl came here with a pinch, and the queen mother will finish the meal, so she listened to the summons." The eldest princess Xinrong also came, came earlier than them, and had lunch with the queen mother, and asked about you when she used it."
While listening to Qi Wan's words, he turned around the corridor, and before he passed through the atrium, he could faintly hear the voice of the second lady.
"The house is good, the marquis is now at home, and only the concubine's family has an errand in and out, and Mrs. Tai is still taking medicine, and she can't get angry when she is quiet."
Xingzhao was stunned outside the door, and suddenly felt like a world away.
The people and things of the He family are too far away from her now, and she doesn't want to get close to her in this life.
Qi Wan tied her hands and secretly glanced at Xingzhao's expression, and the little lady's expression seemed to be misty in the clouds, just like this long list of things in this period of time.
The south wind blew on his face, Xingzhao finally came back to his senses, stretched his eyebrows again, leaned out with a smile and gently buckled the door panel with his hand, smiled and bowed to Queen Fang first, and then came down one by one to salute the second lady and the eldest princess Xinrong, and when he twisted to Xingming's place, he looked up and saw Xingming's eyes red.
But after half a year, the silhouette of the little lady grew and grew into a standard goose egg face, with a beautiful face, as if her temperament had calmed down.
Yes, for most of the past six months, the He family has had ups and downs, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is difficult to grow up.
"Look at these two little sisters, I haven't seen them for half a year and I want to be like this." Queen Fang smiled at Xinrong, "Ah Yu take the three girls to the Rosewood Pavilion for a turn, turn around and call Huanyi over, the sky is also cold, and the three little ladies will eat together in a hot pot."
Xinrong leaned on the back of the chair, dressed loosely, but saw that he was already showing his arms, and his face was just right to use a disc here, but his temperament did not change much, so he said: "No matter what, I will also eat hot pots!" ”
"What kind of pot are you going to burn! Honestly nest here, the road is slippery outside! ”
Queen Fang's noisy Xinrong appearance is very similar to her noisy Xingzhao's appearance, Xingzhao laughed while pulling Xingming out of the main hall, and will leave the main hall, and the two little ladies will speak in unison.
"Are you doing well in the palace?"
"How are you doing in the He family?"
As soon as the words fell, the two little ladies looked at each other and laughed, laughing and laughing, and their eyes were red. (To be continued......)
