--------------------------------------------------
It's just that......
Qiao Huiqiang suppressed the joy in her heart and asked carefully, "Sister, where did you get this?" ”
Li Ruxuan, who asked in one sentence, was speechless, and really couldn't say anything about the world, but she didn't know what reason to make up, her mind was hot, and she said casually: "A few days ago, I sent clothes to Chunhui Palace, and the beauty was rewarded, encouraged, rewarded." ”
"Oh." Qiao Hui responded, thinking that although this Shang Mei was not favored, she was quite generous, smelling this fragrance, thinking that it was also a good thing, so she didn't ask anything anymore, and tried it happily.
Li Ruxuan saw that Qiaohui no longer had any doubts, so she was relieved and concentrated on how to find a place to study and practice calligraphy.
Today's Li Ruxuan washing clothes can be said to be extra hard, and she didn't even spend much time resting after eating at noon, just buried herself in her work, and Qiaohui next to her was stunned, and asked her to take it easy.
But Li Ruxuan didn't listen to Qiaohui's "kind words and persuasion" at all, and just desperately rushed forward with her work, so that she could squeeze out a little more time to read books and learn words. Finally, the hard work paid off, and with an hour and a half before dinner, she completed all the tasks for the day.
Wiping the beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his busy forehead, and knocking on his aching waist due to bending over for a long time, Li Ruxuan looked at the clothes that were swinging freely under the breeze, and the corners of her mouth still showed a hint of a smile.
Carefully put books, pens and ink and other items into a cloth bag, stuffed them to the position of his chest, and looked again to make sure that it was not too dazzling, and then threw down a sentence to Qiaohui: "I'll go out for a walk, I'll come back later", and left without looking back.
This Li Ruxuan, why has she always been chattering lately?
Qiaohui looked at Li Ruxuan's distant back, and chattered suspiciously, but it was nothing, the work of the Huanyi Bureau has been like this for many years, day after day, it is inevitable that it will be boring, there are always some palace maids who take advantage of the work to walk around in groups after finishing their work, which is not a new thing. Thinking of this, Qiao Hui was a little relieved, and stopped paying attention to Li Ruxuan's weirdness and went to busy with her own affairs.
The range of movement of the palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau is limited, and the farthest they can reach is only near the Shangshi Bureau. Although on weekdays, she would go to the palace where the concubines lived because of things such as sending clothes, but there, Li Ruxuan did not dare to go. If you are not careful, you will be inquired by the concubines at that time, and you will be involved in the chaotic battle of ** at any time, and it will be worth the loss.
After turning around several times, Li Ruxuan did not find a very satisfactory place, although there are neat and clean stone benches and stone tables by the pond, but close to Yonglu, there are many people coming and going, she is a palace maid reading there, it is too conspicuous. Behind the row of willow trees is to cover people's eyes and ears, but the weeds next to it are overgrown, as if they have been abandoned for a long time, and there is no place to write, plus Li Ruxuan is afraid that snakes, insects, rats and ants may appear in the grass at any time, so she has to give up.
Seeing that the sun was gradually setting in the west, Li Ruxuan was also a little anxious, so she simply sat on a rockery, panting for breath.
There is a huge palace, but there is no place suitable for studying, and this emperor has built a place of pleasure with all the tax money collected? No wonder history always says that the Song Dynasty was cowardly and incompetent, and there is a reason for it!
The more Li Ruxuan thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she picked up a stone from under her feet and threw it straight into the barren grass!
"Boom!" A crisp sound rang out, vaguely accompanied by a low splash.
I don't remember any ponds or rivers nearby, how can there be the sound of water? Li Ruxuan suspiciously followed the trajectory of the parabola just now, bypassed the low rockery, stepped on the dense wild grass, and finally saw the source of the sound of water behind a willow forest.
It turned out that behind the desolation, there was actually a small lake, and in the center of the lake was a delicate octagonal pavilion, and there was no road or bridge around it, and there was a small canopy boat parked on the shore, which was the only way to get to the pavilion. Although the lake has fallen a lot of fallen leaves, but there seem to be traces of flow, because the area is too large to judge where the source is, but at least it can be determined that this is a living water lake, and there are many lotus flowers growing in the lake, but it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time, sparsely pulled, the canopy boat is also dilapidated and old, the roof is full of dust, and the wooden oars leaning on the hull of the boat are also broken, and no one has been here for a long time.
Was it later abandoned? Li Ruxuan looked at the rippling lake with some pity, but she still didn't forget to look around. Since it's a lake, there's always a stone bench next to it for resting.
Li Ruxuan narrowed her eyes and stood on tiptoe to search, but the nearby lake was empty, only the crazy weeds were swaying in the wind.
It seems that there is no hope! Li Ruxuan was a little discouraged, and leaned on the rockery next to her in disappointment, but the edges and corners of the rockery were very uncomfortable, and she frowned in pain.
What's wrong today, everything is not going well!
Li Ruxuan was a little irritable, to see what kind of rockery was so prominent, this look was really amazing, and even she gasped.
What kind of rockery is this, this is clearly a desktop polished out of the protruding stones! There are also two stone benches underneath, both of which are made of polished stones.
It seems that the hard work really pays off, Li Ruxuan's face bloomed with joy, it was the stone bench that sat and sat again, and tried the height of the stone table, just right, it was just tailor-made for her. Coupled with the dust and dead leaves on the stone bench, no one has been here for a long time, so you can just keep it for yourself!
This place is really nice, with a lake in front of you, willow trees next to it, and a rockery in the back. You don't have to worry about being seen by others, and you won't feel hot in the summer, it's really an ideal reading mecca!
That's nice!
The smile was always rippling on Li Ruxuan's face, I wanted to enjoy this beautiful result today, but seeing the sunset, even the red glow stained the sky red, it was time to go back to dinner, so I had to wait for tomorrow to enjoy it again.
"Obediently, you have to wait for me here." Li Ruxuan slyly patted the smooth tabletop, giggled and walked in the direction of the Huanyi Bureau.
The hard work of the day was not in vain, and there were unexpected gains, Li Ruxuan's heart was almost beautiful, and even her steps were much faster than usual. But when she stepped into the Huanyi Bureau, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
