Chapter 16: The Tang Mansion (3)

"The two girls don't need to be polite." Stealing jade helped up the two maids one by one, and said with a smile, "Stealing jade has to bother the two of you to take care of it these days." Sister Zhu, haven't you been following Tang, oh, the fourth son? Why was he sent here? ”

Zhu put his hands in front of him, his expression was indifferent, and his demeanor was decent, and he knew at a glance that this was a dignified and generous girl. She replied: "If you return to the jade girl, the son specially sent the maidservant to Jiyin Xiaozhu. On weekdays, there is only one person to serve here, and the son is afraid that he will not take care of it enough, so he asks Zhu to come over to help. ”

Stealing Jade nodded, and at the same time, from Zhu's words, he also learned that the name of this pink-clothed maid was "Pink Flotting". So she held her forehead with her right hand, made a sigh, and said, "With two sisters to take care of, stealing jade is really a blessing for three lives." If my Qin Xing was half as well-behaved as the two, I wouldn't feel a headache every time I think of her! ”

Her funny appearance made Bamboo and Pink laugh. Fan Fu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Oh, then we really envy this Qin Xing girl, Miss Yu must be very fond of her on weekdays." ”

"No, I spoiled that girl." Stealing Yu pouted, and said unfairly, "I'm going to have a good talk with the fourth prince another day, and let the two sisters go with me, so that I can marry Qin Xing's crazy girl." You don't know, there are a lot of beautiful men in our villa. If the two sisters are of marriageable age, they might as well go to the villa to choose a good son-in-law. ”

"Jade Girl......" Pink Pretty Face Crimson, "Jade Girl makes fun of us!" ”

Zhu Ze looked at the stealing jade with a smile and asked, "The maids are of the right age to marry, and the jade girl is almost time to get married." The maid is talkative, I want to ask if the girl has a sweetheart? ”

"Huh?" Stealing Jade was slightly stunned, and a white, dusty figure couldn't help but appear in his mind. She smiled, nodded, and shook her head again: "Oops, I don't know......"

Zhu secretly observed her reaction, and asked, "Miss Yu doesn't understand her own thoughts?" What does that girl think of our son-in-law? ”

"Don't be surprised?" Stealing Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhu to ask such a question. She pursed her lips and thought for a while before she said, "Well, I've never thought about his love for men and women, why does Sister Zhu ask that?" ”

As soon as these words came out, they were both stunned for bamboo and powder. The smiling purple-clothed girl in front of her has never regarded her son-in-law as a man who can develop, which is really a unique thing! It's not that they sell themselves and boast, Gongzi has always been very popular with women. Generally, as long as you have seen Gongzi, a woman who has a little contact with him will easily be fascinated by him. This phenomenon directly led to the fact that the Tang Mansion had to change the threshold every year since the age of fourteen, because there were too many women who wanted to squeeze in to be the young ladies of the Tang family. The threshold that is a little fragile can't help but be tossed and ravaged like this! The old man couldn't, so he had to declare to the public that the eldest lady of the Huainan Qi family, who had been friends with the same world, had been married since she was a child, which was a little better, but there were still some girls who did not give up, and they were thinking about the son every day.

Take the drunken Oiran Chuyan girl for example, her reputation was very hot two years ago, so on the night of her first appearance, almost all the nobles in the capital were invited. Naturally, their son-in-law also received the invitation and happily went. Seeing that the girl Chuyan was really outstanding, talented, and lonely, cold and arrogant, she couldn't bear to be bullied by the prodigal son, so she spent a lot of money to buy Qin Yan's "first * night". That night, Gongzi never touched Chu Yan, but just made tea and talked about poetry with her, stroked the qin and painted, but he didn't expect to make the Oiran of the capital, who had always been proud of himself, secretly agree. After that, Chu Yan refused to accept customers, and was only bent on following Gongzi. Childe really couldn't, so he had to buy Drunken Qingfeng and let Chu Yanju help him collect information behind the scenes, which was regarded as asking for peace for himself.

Although Childe "attracts bees and butterflies" countless times, he only maintains a respectful and distant distance from those women, which can be described as "passing through thousands of flowers, not touching the leaves". Ran Gongzi only treats one woman differently, and that is this jade stealing girl. I thought that the jade girl must also have a good impression of the son, but unexpectedly, she was not in love with the son. It seems that this time Childe has to work hard, and I'm afraid his emotional path will not be very smooth.

The dinner menu was light and elegant, with vinegared bamboo shoots, foie gras, steamed anchovies, ginkgo biloba in honey sauce, chestnut chicken, braised short ribs, and two very delicate desserts. Stealing jade eats very happily and satisfied, after all, when he is in the bamboo forest, the conditions are limited, and the food he eats is very simple, only two green vegetables and one white rice a day, which is really tasteless.

After dinner, Tang Huaning came over again. She brought a small purple sand pot, and ordered Fan Fu to take a bowl, poured out the thick black and inky decoction in the pot, handed it to Steal Yu, and said, "Sister, take the medicine while it's hot." This is what I just fried, specifically to deal with the residual poison in my sister's body. ”

However, Stealing Jade looked at the black potion and his handsome little face wrinkled. She is not afraid of pain or tiredness, but she is very afraid of drinking this bitter medicine. Stealing Yuxiu's eyebrows tightened, and sighed: "Stealing jade, thank you for your trouble, Second Miss, it's just that this medicine looks very bitter......"

Seeing her so embarrassed, Tang Hua couldn't help but smile, took out a paper bag from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Oh, isn't there a hawthorn candy ball here?" ”

"Yikes!" Stealing Yu exclaimed, hurriedly opened the paper bag, and sure enough, he saw a red sugar ball with frosted sugar inside. Tang Huaning explained with a smile: "This is not surprising and specially asked me to prepare." He said that you are most afraid of drinking medicine, afraid of bitterness and pain, and every time you drink medicine, you have to prepare some sugar balls to neutralize the bitterness of the medicine, so he asked me to bring it. ”

Stealing Yu was a little stunned and clutched a large bag of sugar balls, secretly wondering in his heart how Tang Buxi knew that he was afraid of hardship? However, he is a big man, and he can be so careful, which makes people's hearts warm. In the end, the jade thief still picked up the jade bowl under Tang Hua Ning's authentic gaze, as if he had made a great determination, pinched his nose like a strong man and began to pour the medicinal juice into his mouth!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The bowl of medicinal juice was finally drunk, but the expression of the thief was entangled. Tang Huaning hurriedly handed her a candy ball, and watched the stealing jade's face turn better after eating it, before he smiled: "Don't look at our family, it's not a man, but it's as careful as a hair." No matter how big or small things are, as long as he is willing to pay attention, he can always do it better than others! ”

Looking at Tang Hua's smiling and ulterior eyes, Stealing Jade looked away and said, "Yes, the fourth prince is a good person." ”

Tang Hua Ning saw that the stealing jade was a little absent-minded, so he no longer felt sorry for her, and only said: "My sister will live in our mansion for a few days first, and she is not in a hurry to go back to the villa." Although the poison in this time is not deep or strong, the stamina of this poison cannot be underestimated, and it must be cleaned up. I first prepared my sister with an antidote for a few days, combined with daily meals, to recuperate, and then observed for a period of time to make sure that everything was fine, and it was not too late for my sister to go back. ”

"There's Miss Lao." Stealing Yu lowered her eyebrows and looked very well-behaved, "It's just going to cause trouble to the house." ”

Tang Huaning hurriedly waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble." My sister was able to come, and our whole family was very happy. If my sister feels bored staying in the house, let me take you out for a walk. ”

In the next few days, the stealing jade has been living in a small building. It is already autumn, and most of the chrysanthemums planted in the courtyard are of the highest quality flowers such as "rain and ink wind lotus", "poppy beauty", "golden xing", and "phoenix dance for nine days". Stealing Jade tends to these gorgeous flowers and plants every day, eats delicious snacks, talks funny with bamboo and flour wool, and has to drink a bowl of bitter decoction every night, and the days are leisurely and comfortable. It's just that Tang Bushu, who "can accompany her out of the house when she is bored", has not appeared again since he came to see her the next day. Who knows where he went, and which beauty he spent the moon with?

On this day, I got up early in the morning, not for anything else, just because the day before I read a story about Fengyue that is now highly respected among Miss Jingzhong, and the beauty in the book is to pick the chrysanthemum petals stained with dew in the early morning, so as to cook a pot of fragrant flower tea for her sweetheart. But this kind of love story of a talented and beautiful woman will always stir up beautiful ripples in the girl's heart. So the stealing jade also got up early, while the sun was still not strong and the dew had not yet evaporated, he also picked some petals, and waited for the air to dry and then boil tea and drink, which was also a vassal and elegant thing.

However, there is always a big gap between the reality and those stormy things. When Thief Yu happily boiled a pot of chrysanthemum tea, picked up the teacup and put the tea that smelled fragrant into his mouth, but he squirted out again! How is this bitter and astringent? Stealing Yu was depressed in her heart, and Zhu and Fan looked at her wrinkled face, and they both covered their mouths and "giggled".

"Oh, what's so funny?"

A nice voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the three of them looked for prestige, only to see a man with a long body and a face like a crown of jade walking in the courtyard, it was Tang Buxing, who had not been seen for many days.

Seeing Tang Bu, Fan Fu and Zhu hurriedly saluted, but they couldn't stop smiling on their faces. Stealing Jade only glanced at him, and then sighed to himself.
