Chapter 9 Vassalage Elegance
Thunderbolt -
It is the sound of charcoal sparks colliding, in the cold and freezing days, if there can be such a sound, the north wind outside is howling, Xiao Xiao cold wind, what is there to fear?
Shi Qingqing pulled the quilt vigorously and wrapped his whole body tightly, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Thunderbolt -
With another sound, Shi Qingqing realized that it was indeed in his ears, and it was not a dream, so he woke up faintly. Looking sideways with a little doubt, I saw a small bronze oval brazier filled with silver charcoal, burning vigorously, and with a few snaps, sparks burst out from the top of the flames, but unfortunately the light dimmed after drifting away from the fire source for a while.
However, the whole room warmed up.
It's relieving from head to toe.
Shi Qingqing was puzzled, and Qing'er, dressed in a brown padded jacket, came in with a curtain, and smiled gently at Shi Qingqing while patting the water stains on his body with his hand.
"Xi'er estimated that Miss should wake up at this time, Tete came in, I didn't expect it to be true!"
Shi Qingqing sat up with the futon draped, looked at Xi'er's movements and asked casually, "It's raining outside?" ”
Xi'er put the lotus leaf roll-shaped tray in her hand on the mahogany table, and saw that the teacher Qingqing asked, and her tone was brisk, "It's the ice particles, but it's cold, the uncle who boiled the water in the kitchen splashed the water on the ground and it froze instantly, saying that it was estimated that it might snow after staying for a while?" ”
Shi Qingqing looked overjoyed when he heard this, "But really? "She hadn't seen snow in a long time.
"That's natural, Xi'er will still deceive you!"
As soon as the words were finished, Shi Qingqing remembered how many miles she had walked last night, and just wanted to say a few words to hurt her, who knew that Xi'er seemed to know what Shi Qingqing would say, and shouted, "Hey, I forgot to take the toiletries for Miss, I have to go again!" He ran out like a smoke.
Shi Qingqing chuckled, this little girl is really getting more and more bold.
But she is still the real lady of the Shifu, where did she come from, and she can't lie.
Shi Qingqing looked up and looked out the window, but the daylight was gloomy, full of turbid clouds, as if the nine heavens would be connected to the ground in an instant, the ice particles fell on the glazed tiles and tinkled dong, so unpleasant, Shi Qingqing's eyebrows stretched slightly, it seems that it should indeed usher in a heavy snowstorm later.
There was a sound of Xi'er stomping her feet outside the door, and she kept muttering, "This ghost weather will change, and the sun was still shining yesterday!" ”
Shi Qingqing couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said loudly: "Come in!" ”
"Hem~ here!"
Xi'er hid behind the curtain and stuck out her tongue and looked at Shi Qingqing, "Miss, you heard it!" ”
Shi Qingqing Nunuzui, what do you say?
In vain, he caught a glimpse of Xi'er actually holding a list of washing utensils in her hand, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Where did these come from?" ”
Xi'er smiled clearly, with an expression that she knew you would ask like this, "This is what the master just ordered, in the future, we don't have to worry about food and clothing!" ”
"Then this charcoal fire was also sent by Daddy?"
Xi'er smiled proudly, "Yes, Miss, I sent several big bags, and Xi'er couldn't use them up all winter!" ”
Shi Qingqing thought it was Xi'er who begged for it, but didn't he think it was sent by Shi Xiang? After hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, what kind of thing this division is selling.
Yesterday, he was obviously a little unnatural to be good to himself, and he thought that he deliberately showed it to the Seven Princes, but now that the Seven Princes are gone, why did he send someone to send such things? I even thought about eating.
If he suddenly found out in his conscience that Shi Qingqing absolutely didn't believe it, and he hadn't found it for more than ten years, would this son find out?
"What time is it? Daddy doesn't have to go to court? Shi Qingqing was a little curious, didn't the officials of Northern Xia use it every day?
Xi'er took the underglaze colored ceramic cup full of water to Shi Qingqing, and connected the basin below for Shi Qingqing to change the water.
Seeing that Shi Qingqing asked, he hurriedly answered, "When I went to the front yard just now, I heard from Mother Lian that someone came to the palace so that Hou Ye didn't have to enter the palace today, saying that the emperor didn't go to the morning court today due to the sudden change in the weather!" ”
Shi Qingqing took the porcelain cup and asked again, "So sick?" ”
Where did Xi'er know this, she only estimated that it should be quite heavy, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to go to court, so she responded casually.
The waiter Qingqing washed his face before lifting the sea-patterned vegetable cover on the tray at the beginning.
Immediately, the food was fragrant, and it was coveted.
"Hmm~ so fragrant, what is this?"
Shi Qingqing, who was looking forward to wearing it, hurriedly asked, where do you remember whether Emperor Laoshizi, who couldn't fight with him, was sick or not.
"This is the Huaru black chicken porridge specially prepared by the kitchen for Miss, saying that Miss fell into the water yesterday and has to make up for it!"
Shi Qingqing remained silent, spooned and blew lightly into his mouth, listening to Xi'er complaining beside him.
"It's strange to see the wind and rudder!"
Shi Qingqing didn't answer, just human nature.
remembered that Xi'er was drunk last night and was busy early this morning, so he hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Does it hurt to have a headache?" ”
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt," his eyes flashed, and at the end, he sighed again, "Miss, you are so good to Xi'er!" ”
Shi Qingqing feigned anger and said: "I really know how to appreciate it, let's eat it quickly!" ”
"Hey~" Xi'er didn't mind, and said loudly, her young lady is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"Miss, you didn't talk nonsense last night, did you?" Shi Qingqing glanced up at the nervous Xi'er, and replied lightly: "As soon as I come back, I sleep like a pig, what nonsense can I say!" ”
Xi'er was relieved when she heard this, and hurriedly served another bowl to Shi Qingqing, "Miss, eat quickly!" ”
……
The cold wind outside the house is biting, the inside of the house is warm like spring, a tile and a wall for you to shelter, a table for you to rest, a fire and a food for you to warm your stomach, and servants and friends to chat and relieve boredom.
I wish this life was enough.
"Miss, Miss, look, it's snowing outside the window, it's snowing!" Xi'er saw the snowflakes falling outside the window and clapped her hands excitedly and shouted.
Shi Qingqing was also overjoyed when he heard this, "Quick, go out and have a look!" ”
The two stepped out of the house hand in hand, and were speechless by the beauty of the scene in front of them, small snowflakes, as light as smoke, as pure as jade, as white as silver, fluttering and sprinkling, falling from the sky one after another, dancing with the wind.
"It's beautiful!" Shi Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, we can build a snowman later, when I was a child, I liked to kiss my mother the most......"
Xi'er happily wanted to share the interesting stories of her childhood with Shi Qingqing, but suddenly thought that her mother and wife had passed away, and she couldn't help but feel sad, looking at Shi Qingqing and unable to laugh anymore.
Shi Qingqing sighed secretly, this little girl's heart is serious.
"Xi'er, can you read?"
Xi'er forced the tears that were about to fall back into her eyes, and she didn't understand what the teacher meant, "When my wife taught Miss when I was a child, I also taught Xi'er a word. ”
After Xi'er finished speaking, she secretly looked at Shi Qingqing, and was secretly proud in her heart, I learned faster than you!
Shi Qingqing pretended not to know the small movements of the night, and then continued with the words, "I also learned to learn the white stove in the empty window of the ancestral room today, and I am fortunate to have books and music when I close my house, why don't you go and ask for some books, how about you teach me to read?" ”
Shi Qingqing can only look at Gu Wen in pairs, it doesn't know me, I don't know her!
"Miss, how can you be so interested today?"
"Naturally, I just want to be elegant!"
Xi'er smiled again, she used to kill the young lady who didn't want to study, and she actually let herself get the book for the first time, and sure enough, Mrs. has a spirit in the sky, bless the young lady!
"Madame left a few small notes before, I'll look for them!"
Shi Qingqing bowed slightly, signaling Xi'er to go and come back quickly.
