Chapter 66: Three Tables
There are still about twenty days before the Midyear Festival, and according to the plan discussed earlier, Hu Sanxing led the pheasant slave and a few personal soldiers to carry gifts to Yefu. Because Liu Yu set up his wedding room in their village, Hu Sanxing is now not only a witness, but also the meaning of the main family.
Lao Chen Tou led them into the house, but this time it was not as quiet as last time, and Hu Sansheng heard the crying and scolding from a distance, but it didn't matter in the end, and he didn't want to ask, but the look of doubt appeared on his face.
"Mr. Hu smiled, the house was cleaning up the bad deeds, so there was a bit of noise." Lao Chen turned around and explained, but Hu Sansheng didn't care about "Oh" and didn't ask.
"Uncle Chen, save me, don't let them sell." Suddenly, a servant who looked like a servant came out from the side, hugged Lao Chen's leg and cried.
"It's late, why didn't you think about it when you chewed the root of your tongue, the little lady in the house is also what you can arrange?" Lao Chen looked at him and sighed, the little guy was very delicate, and he cried loudly when he heard the words.
"Alas, for the sake of your mother's milk for the eldest prince for a few days, so-and-so will dare to be the master, you send him to Zhuangzi, don't beat him again." Lao Chen Tou shook his head and ordered, several family members stepped forward to drag the little guy away, and after coming back to his senses, the man kept thanking him, Lao Chen Tou no longer paid attention to him, and still led Hu Sanxing and the others forward, the pheasant slave looked at his pitiful appearance, and his eyes rolled a few times.
Hearing the report that Hu Sansheng and his party came to send a festival gift, Ye Mengding received them in the middle hall of the house, this time the gift list is no different from the usual, they are all locally purchased things that suit the situation, and the gifts and personal soldiers are greeted, and Hu Sanxing took the pheasant slave to sit down.
"As the old man expected, this is the female brother of Commander Jin?" The pheasant slave was wearing an ordinary martial arts uniform today, with a hero scarf on his head, and he looked heroic, but Ye Mengding, who already knew the details, could naturally recognize it at a glance.
"The pheasant slave has seen Shaobao." She hugged her fists and skillfully performed a military salute, which made Ye Mengding stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand so that she didn't need to be polite, this chic girl gave him a good impression, she was straightforward and unpretentious, and it was completely different from his dozen daughters who were raised in the boudoir.
"The old man asked me to shout at you, Sister Pheasant, this time I heard that you came to Beijing at night to fly and ride, all for a certain unsuccessful dog, the old man thanked you in advance. To tell you the truth, there are a few people in the house who are the same age as you, and most of the thirteen mothers who are about to leave the cabinet are similar to you, why don't you let your family lead you two to meet? ”
"I'm just going to pay a visit, I'm tired." Although the pheasant slave is simple, people are not stupid, listening to these half-truths and half-truths, she should only be unconscious, but she really wants to see how the little lady who was scared to commit suicide last time is doing now.
Following the old Chen Tou who brought them in, he exited the hall, and walked along the gravel path to the backyard, the grandeur of the Ye Mansion made her a little staggered, even if she was not interested, she knew that some of the fighting in the flower garden were by no means ordinary varieties, otherwise how could there be so many people to wait.
"This is the residence of Thirteen Niang, the old servant will not enter, sister, please take care of yourself." Before coming to the "Zi Pavilion", Lao Chen knocked on the door of the courtyard and said the calendar for a while, and then turned to leave. The mother-in-law who opened the door looked at the pheasant slave, as if she was really a woman?
Climb up the wooden ladder, even the handrail is carved with ornamentation, everywhere is exquisite, up to the second floor, before entering the house there is a fragrance, I don't know what is smoked in the house? Without waiting for the mother-in-law who led the way to open her mouth, she suddenly opened the beaded curtain and entered the house, and there was only one woman inside, sitting in front of the window and seeming to be a female celebrity.
"You" raised her head when she heard the movement, and saw a man walking in with his head held high, Jing Niang was taken aback, and when she saw the face of the comer, she suddenly had some panic in her eyes, and the hinge she had just held in her hand also fell to the floor, making a muffled sound.
The pheasant slave walked around the house without hearing it, looking at the furnishings inside, and at the bottom was the little lady of the prince's family, and the paintings on the walls, the books on the shelves, and the furnishings in the lattice were all fine. Standing next to the incense burner in the corner of the house, the pheasant slave looked at the rising smoke in a daze, will the woman who walks out of the house be Brother Yu'er's favorite?
Once upon a time, I also had such a room, which was in the Wang Mansion of Jingshi, the old lady treated her like a granddaughter, but unfortunately she was too stubborn, and she wanted to sneak out all day long, such a house could not stay for a moment, thinking of those things in the past, a layer of mist gradually appeared in her eyes.
Jing Niang stretched out her hand to stop the mother-in-law who wanted to speak, and made a look to let her retreat, the person who came didn't know what she was thinking, she stood there and was stunned, she stood up and walked over gently to take a look, the big eyes that could talk contained tears, which made her very puzzled.
"It's rude, I'll come with Mr. Hu to give a gift to you, by the way, it's better?" After taking the brocade handkerchief, the pheasant slave who came back to her senses smiled apologetically and said, the handkerchief was soft and silky, she was a little used to pinching it, so she simply picked up the corner of her clothes and wiped it, and still returned the handkerchief.
I don't know if it's because of the events of that day, Jing Niang found that she was unmoved by her almost vulgar behavior, as for her question, Jing Niang was a little unsure, was that person asking her to come to greet her?
"You did it?" The pheasant slave didn't seem to care if she answered or not, and turned around and walked to the shelf, and in front of her was a man's gown, which was roughly finished, and she stroked the neat and fine stitches on it, how much effort it took to make it.
Jing Niang's heart was in turmoil, she felt like a bride who had been checked for schoolwork, and in front of her was a picky mother-in-law and an impatient sister-in-law, this feeling made her a little nervous, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Body, the old man took over Hai Si as he wished, and I would like to listen to any instructions next." Hu Sanxing, who was bringing the tea to his mouth, suddenly heard it, and his hand shook and almost didn't knock it over.
"Shao Bao laughed, the matter of your husband and son-in-law, a certain is just a word in the middle, and I can't stand it." Although he knew that it was a joke, he still stood up and gave a salute, in front of him was not only a product of the dynasty, but also a senior in the officialdom, and he was not Liu Yu himself, where could he stand it.
"It's a joke, but it's also a righteous word, Chen Yunping, the senator of the Department of Manufacturing, came to see him yesterday, and the old man knew the truth, and he didn't tell you, it was shocking." Ye Mengding waved his hand to sit him down, and said with emotion, and then the tone of his words changed, "What about Ziqing, this kid?" It's been a long time, and I haven't come today. ”
"I went to Qingyuan Mansion, and I said that I was going to see the affairs of the city." Hu Sanxing moved out the previous rhetoric, he didn't care if it was or not, anyway, he could come back before he got married.
Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, this excuse made up by Liu Yu at random was different in Ye Mengding's ears, good boy, it turned out to be this idea, and he suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart. Picking up the teacup, he greeted the guests, and the two turned the topic to poetry, but they were also happy.
The friendship between women sometimes comes unreasonably, at night, the two girls in the embroidery building on the second floor of Zige have become best friends who have nothing to say, and the laughter from time to time makes the maids and daughters-in-law in the courtyard secretly surprised, who in this house does not know that the thirteenth sister is a cold-faced and cold-hearted little lady, even if she interacts with the sisters in the family is also faint, what is wrong today?
"It's really funny, you covet me to be peaceful and comfortable, and my parents are here, but I envy you for being free and doing whatever you want, it can be seen that everything in this world has gains and losses, and you can't ask for it." The two of them lay on the couch side by side, and after washing and combing, the pheasant slave changed into a new set of obscene clothes, with green silk scattered hair, which did not look like the previous men's clothes at all.
"He gave it to you?" Under the body is a soft embroidered couch, the nose is drunk incense, has been accustomed to anywhere can fall asleep on the pheasant slave but a little sleep, turned his head to find the pillow under the pressure exposed half of the strap, pulled out to see, with his hand of the same size, there are some cracks on the face.
"Well, it's a pity it broke." Jing Niang opened her eyes and replied, the girl next to her was holding her piece and comparing it with the one in her hand, and from her point of view, it looked no different.
"It's okay, let him send another piece, he has a lot of this thing." Obviously, the pheasant slave's comfort was not on the point, and Jing Niang's answer was not very clear in her ears, and it was "um" or "no" in the end.
After playing for a while, there was no movement for a long time, the pheasant slave looked sideways, the girl on the side had closed her eyes and fell asleep, listening to the slight breathing sound in her ears, thinking about what she saw today, unconsciously a wave of sleepiness hit, and she slowly closed her eyelids.
In the forbidden side hall, a piano sound echoed inside, outside the hall under a small yellow door with a lantern, is walking in the direction of the outside of the palace, Wang Yuanliang suddenly heard the music coming, couldn't help but slow down, he is a music everyone, this song is a new work when you hear it, and the style is completely different, so that he heard some killing meaning.
"The palace is taking care of everyone?" After stopping and listening for a long time, no more sound came from inside, and he asked.
"Exactly, it's not early, let's go quickly." Xiao Huangmen glanced at it and replied, Wang Yuanliang nodded, this hour really can't stay for long, thinking of the woman who is on par with his own attainments, he looked back at the closed palace door again.
In the main hall of the hall, a woman in white knelt behind the piano platform, and her wet hair after bathing was scattered behind her head, which had a free and easy taste. As far as her eyes could see, it was not the guqin in front of her, but the small things on the side, which glowed with a bright white metallic luster under the light of the candlelight.
"Huh? What is this? A delicate voice sounded from the side, and before she could respond, the thing was seized by a snow-white hand, but the teenage girl looked curiously over and over again, but could not recognize what it was, until she saw the bar on the dial.
"Is it a sundial? It's so small, it's tied to the wrist. After a comparison, the little girl found that her thin wrist was too small compared to it, and she couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but the woman didn't stop it, just looked at her with a smile.
"It's time to rest, Your Highness." The middle-aged palace man behind the little girl reminded softly, and she had no choice but to take it off and put it back on the stage, secretly grimacing at the woman, and when she turned around, she regained her dignified appearance.
Seeing them go out, the woman sat down again, picked up the thing and put it to her ear, listening to the "tick-tick" sound inside, like a human heartbeat.
"There are some photos to print out, and I have to ask the best doctor in the city to help me see what the symptoms are and what medications are needed. By the way, also, help me order a batch of the same kind of watches last time, women's ones, let's have fifty first, do you like it or not, why don't you take one to play? ”
Seeing that Su Wei had nothing in his hands, Liu Yu added another sentence, and only after finishing did he remember that this watch could not be used in this time and space. Fortunately, Su Wei only waved her hand and turned around and walked away, she didn't have this kind of need, besides, how could there be a wholesale gift, so she didn't want such a gift. R1058
